Chapter 72: The Books of Account
Since Mrs. Li came, Hong Tuo didn't say much more, just watched how Mrs. Li handled the situation in front of her.
Hearing that Taro Niang said that she had a deed and had to get it herself, Mrs. Li covered her lips and smiled: "It's not that there is no maid to serve, this kind of thing can be done by yourself?"
Taro Niang was stunned and said reluctantly: "The maid doesn't know where it is, so I want the slave family to fetch the ...... in person."
Mrs. Li felt even more amused when she heard it, and laughed coquettishly: "It is worthy of being from a small family, and they all love to hide it, as long as it is something that has passed the official family's face, the government has a record, are you afraid that others will steal it?"
This is polite, the official house and the official house are all recorded, even the private one will be stamped with the seal of the head of the household, and ordinary people can't directly say that the house is their own even if they steal it.
Taro Niang didn't know this, so she went to see the maid who had been watched by the Hong Mansion outside the room, and turned her head to ask Hong for instructions.
Hong Tuo naturally understood what it meant, and immediately motioned to the family over there to let people come over.
Taro Niang still refused to rest assured, and only walked to her maid after a moment of entanglement, whispering something in her ear.
The maid heard this, nodded and walked to the backyard, probably going to Taro Niang's room to find the deed.
Ah Lu saw that Hong Tuo had been staring at the Ding, and only then did he withdraw his gaze when the Ding, obviously he had arranged something before.
A bunch of people stood and waited like this, Mrs. Li looked at it and made a pop, and greeted the guest: "What are you doing standing, sit down and wait!"
Hong laughed, stretched out his hand and invited Mrs. Li to the throne, and he sat down at the first place on the right hand side of the throne, that is, on the left hand side of Ah Lu.
Waiting for Hong to sit down, Ah Lu, who finally had the opportunity to talk to him, hurriedly leaned over and asked him in a low voice, "What have you arranged here?"
At this time, Hong Tuo was still angry with Ah Lu in his heart, but now the scene is not good, so he had to say angrily: "Don't worry about it, just watch!"
Seeing that Hong Tuo didn't want to speak, Ah Lubai glanced at him, retracted his position, and waited boredly for the maid to come back, and observed the reactions of Li Yuanwai and Taro Niang by the way.
Except for Mr. Li, I didn't dare to look at Mrs. Li, and Taro Niang was a little uneasy, and everything seemed to be fine.
It's just that Mrs. Li's reaction made Ah Lu a little strange, as a wife in the main house, she came to the house between her husband and the outer room, and she didn't ask about the relationship between the two at the first time, nor did she scold, and she dealt with the things next to her slowly, which was really not quite right.
Soon the maid walked back, in addition to a piece of paper deed in her hand there was also a thick booklet, when the mother saw the booklet, her face turned a little whiter, and she moved her body uneasily, while Li Yuanwai stared at the booklet with a puzzled face, obviously not knowing what the booklet was.
The different reactions of the two made the other people who had been watching them a little interested, and they all fixed their eyes on the booklet.
The maid presented the things to Mrs. Li, who first ignored the booklet, opened the deed and looked at it, and asked Taro Niang.
"This Yu Yuan is your brother, right?"
Taro Niang forced herself to calm down, nodded and said yes.
Mrs. Li looked at the deed in her hand, and seemed to say to herself: "Five hundred taels of silver, this size and lot are about the same, but it's right, but it's ......."
"But how?"
"But as far as I know, your brother is just a scholar, and his family is not rich, where did he get the money to buy this house, but at the beginning of the year, our family lost five or six hundred taels, and reported to the official, and now the government still has a record......
As soon as these words came out, Ah Lu and Di Gu glanced at each other, and it seemed that the problem was here.
As soon as Taro Niang heard this, she knelt down in front of Mrs. Li with a puff, and kept kowtowing and begging: "Please let Madame let me go!
Mrs. Li put the deed back into the maid's hand, wiped her fingers with a handkerchief, and said unhurriedly: "I don't know what you did wrong, why do you want me to let you go?"
The taro girl crawled close to Mrs. Li, pulling at the hem of her skirt, and was already crying, tears washing her face full of fat powder, forming strange ravines.
"I shouldn't hook up with Master Li, I shouldn't help him do a lot of wrong things, and ask my wife to spare my life, next year will be Spring Season, my brother can't have a stain, I beg you to ......"
Seeing this, Ah Lu understood a little, this Mrs. Li estimated that she had already investigated Taro Niang, but she hadn't had time to do it yet, and now she was invited by Hong Lu early, but gave her a chance to do it.
"I may be able to keep your brother unaffected, depending on how far you can do it......
Taro Niang trembled, the makeup on her face was already crying, she looked very ugly, she raised her finger and pointed to the thick booklet, trying to avoid the sight of Master Li.
"The things that the slave family has done for Master Li these times are recorded in that booklet, luring the girl, drugging and infringing, and then selling it into the prostitute/workshop, all the compradors of the obsessed/medicinal aphrodisiac/medicine and the transaction slips with the prostitution shop are sandwiched in it......"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuanwai was furious, pushed away the chair and stood up, grabbed Taro Niang's hair, raised his hand is a slap, and the hand was extremely ruthless, and when Jiao Niang raised his head again, half of his face was already swollen.
"You slut, you are still keeping accounts behind my back!"
Saying that, Li Yuanwai was still angry, raised his hand and wanted to fight again, but Hong Tuo hurriedly asked the family to stop him.
Several family members stubbornly controlled Li Yuanwai, who had red eyes, stared at Taro Niang and scolded: "Lao Tzu ransomed you from that dirty place, and you repaid you like this, and you have been guarding against me......!
In the midst of this cursing, Mrs. Li threw the tea cup beside Li Yuanwai, and the clear sound of broken porcelain woke up Li Yuanwai, who was cursing.
"I used to care about the relationship between husband and wife, and I didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife, but look at this thick booklet, how many women have been abused!"
Mrs. Li was still sitting on the main seat, glaring fiercely at Li Yuanwai, who was about to make a move, and a small piece of the flying porcelain sliced across his face, breaking a hideous wound.
"Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and Mrs. will not die without help!"
Seeing that Mrs. Li was really angry, Li Yuanwai suddenly knelt down in front of her, trying to play the emotional card.
"Save?"
Mrs. Li snorted coldly, stood up, and looked at Li Yuanwai condescendingly: "Now only the abduction and trafficking of women from good families and the violation of women are all first-class crimes, why don't you have the courage to take responsibility since you have the courage to do it?"
Dahao's law Li Yuanwai still knows, but he relies on superb means and a lot of money to make points, so he has not been discovered for so long, but he never expected that Taro Niang would hide such an account book.
"How can Madame believe that what the said is true, maybe she did it herself, and when she was discovered, she pushed it on my head in a fit of anger, and you also saw that this property was her family's ......"
Probably desperate, Li Yuanwai actually wanted to push everything on Taro Niang's head. 2k reading web
