Chapter 234: Yin Zi Qian
Unable to find evidence, Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi had already been mentally prepared.
After discovering the water, Wei Feng and the others arrived first, and they didn't find any clues when they put out the fire.
The man who did it was very cautious, and after pouring the oil on it, nothing was left behind, and the arrow must have been shot from a distance, in order to ignite the fire.
The tail of the arrow was burned, and only such an ordinary arrow remained.
Cao Hongxin's face was very ugly, although he took the arrow to check, but the arrow was not special, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find out what the result is.
There was such a big movement in the night, and everyone in the neighborhood woke up.
Close to Ling Chu's house was the Chengyi Bo Mansion, and their housekeeper brought his subordinates to check it out, knowing that his courtyard wall had also been poured with fire oil, and a courtyard wall had been burned.
Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, seeing that Commander Cao and Lord Ning were present, he didn't dare to say anything to Ling Chu, and only scolded the person behind him.
Although Cao Hongxin left with people, he left a few people to patrol the neighborhood in case the gangsters came back, and the Chengyi Bofu also sent a few guards to patrol the surroundings.
Ning Chuyi didn't want to stay any longer, said a few words to pay attention to safety, and left with Wei Feng and them.
But he secretly left two secret guards to guard Ling Chu's house.
The Cao Commander and the Sincerity Bofu both left guards, and Ling Chu was not worried that the people behind him would come back, so he took the two maids back, locked the door and went to sleep.
The next day, Ling Chu took Xia Zhi straight to Yaxing.
It was not enough for her to have only two maids by her side, so she had to buy some more people.
In the dental shop, I selected some good-looking ones and bought them.
As soon as she went out, a girl wearing a stack of patches suddenly rushed towards Ling Chu and knelt down in front of her.
"Okay, girl, I beg you to buy me. I will cook, wash, and clean. As if she was afraid that Ling Chu would refuse, the girl begged and kowtowed.
Ling Chu didn't speak yet, but the woman who sent her out said impatiently, "Go, go, why are you again, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for letting people drive you away." ”
The girl didn't leave, she begged hard, "Girl, my mother is dying, please buy me, only fifty taels, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the future." ”
It turned out that she wanted to sell herself to save her mother, but she had just bought all the people she needed in the dental store, and she didn't plan to buy another one.
Ling Chu saw that her forehead was red and swollen, her heart softened, and she said to Xia Zhi, "You can take five taels for her to grab medicine." ”
As soon as the words fell, the tooth woman hurriedly shook her head, "Girl, I can't help it, I can't help it." ”
Ling Chu looked at her puzzled.
Xu is seeing that Ling Chu had bought someone in the Ya Xing just now, the Ya Xing hesitated for a while, then looked around carefully, and then whispered to Ling Chu.
"Miss Ling, this little girl's father likes to gamble, and he lost all the money in the family, and he accidentally fell to his death after getting drunk a few days ago.
After his death, the little girl's family learned that he had borrowed money from the Zhao Guogong Mansion before his death, and now he has owed hundreds of taels.
The little girl's family is now poor, where can she get the money to pay back, so she has to sell herself. If you buy her back, her mother will not have to go to your house twice in three days to ask for money.
This girl has filial piety, and she will definitely not watch her mother being forced into debt, and she will not be able to ask you for help at that time. The money is a bottomless pit, and it's hard to get on it. ”
Ling Chu's heart moved, she was worried about how to get back the concubine documents of the Zhao State Mansion, this might be a good opportunity.
In front of Ya Po, Ling Chu didn't say anything, and after thanking her, he left with someone.
After walking a distance, he saw that the Ya Po had returned, so he asked Xia Zhi to bring the girl over.
Seeing Ling Chu, the girl was overjoyed, and knelt down and kowtowed.
After Ling Chu asked Xia Zhi to help her up, he didn't detour and asked directly, "Your father borrowed Yinzi money from the Zhao Guogong Mansion, which Zhao family is it?" ”
Zhou Banqin didn't know why the girl in front of her asked about Yinzi money, and she was worried, but she didn't dare to hide it.
"It was Zhao Guogong's Mansion that put the money in Yinzi, but not Zhao Guogong, but Guogong's wife."
"Are you sure it's the Duchess of Zhao?"
Zhou Banqin nodded hatefully, "Sure, the one who came to my house to ask for money was the housekeeper Mama Zhao Guo's side, and when she saw that my family couldn't come up with the money to repay the debt, she asked my mother to sell me to the Qinglou."
My mother disagreed, and the grandmother also said that she was the grandmother next to the Duchess of Zhao, and she knew many rich and noble families. You can introduce me to those rich families as a concubine, and ask for more dowry, and you can pay off the money. ”
It's just that Zhou Banqin's mother thinks that the grandmother is not a good person, and the person she introduced may not be a good person, and she doesn't want her daughter to be a concubine and be tortured by the main room.
"Girl, in fact, my father has regretted it, he was lured to gamble, and after borrowing the money from Yinzi, he knew that it was a bottomless pit, he had quit gambling, and tried to make money to pay off his debts.
My father originally sold a piece of jade pendant handed down by his ancestors, and my mother also sold the last dowry, but there was still a gap of eighty taels. Originally, I was going to borrow it from my relatives again, but when I got enough, I returned it to Mrs. Zhao Guo together.
It's just that I didn't expect my dad to go before I could pay off the money. ”
After Zhou Banqin's father died, her mother fell ill again.
In order to save money and pay off the debt, her mother buried her father hastily, and even when she was sick, she didn't dare to see the doctor to buy medicine.
Zhou Banqin was helpless, so she thought about selling herself.
Originally, she wanted to go to the tooth store to sell herself, but the tooth woman somehow inquired about her family, worried that after buying her, she would be affected by her family, and thought that her selling price of fifty taels was too high, so she was unwilling to buy her.
Ling Chu asked Xia Zhi to take one hundred taels to buy Zhou Banqin, "Fifty taels is your worth of silver, and the other fifty taels will be regarded as if I lent it to you, and it will be deducted from your monthly silver in the future." Also, would you like to give me an IOU for your money? ”
Zhou Banqin was simply overjoyed, and nodded again and again.
Ling Chu took Zhou Banqin to her house.
originally thought that Zhou Banqin's mother would be reluctant to sell her daughter, but her mother agreed in order to pay off her debts and support her two young sons.
After receiving the deed of sale, giving the silver ticket, and taking the IOU of the printed money, Ling Chu returned home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, the commander of the Xicheng Terracotta Division came to the door.
As soon as they met, Cao Hongxin couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Ling, I wonder if you have time now?" ”
Ling Chu didn't expect him to be so anxious, and he couldn't help but be curious, "You lost a very valuable item at home, have you reported it to the official to track it down?" ”
Cao Hongxin's face hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and said, "I didn't report to the official." ”
Lost something and didn't report it to the official?
Seeing Ling Chu's surprise, Cao Hongxin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I can't hide it, what I lost was my daughter's dowry, and the reason why I didn't report it to the official is because... This was probably done by my mother and my second brother..."
