Chapter 039 on the Yamen

Outside the window, a black shadow flickered, and a black shadow jumped in through the window, and after a while, it jumped out of the window and disappeared. The mother and daughter slept deeply, without noticing.

In the bustling part of the street, the No. 1 room of the Fulin Inn, a black shadow flashed in.

In the room, the lights were bright, and Meng Chenxi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was reading under the lamp, and when he heard someone coming in, he didn't stop, or looked up.

"Coming back?"

"Master, Lai's silver has been taken, and the person who connects them is from the Feng Mansion. The subordinates have found out that the other party is the second room of the Feng Mansion. Tyson came in, put the money bag on the table, and handed it back.

"The second room of the Feng Mansion?" Meng Chenxi's eyes turned lightly and asked, "Is she going to die in peace because of Feng Zhiyuan's relationship?" ”

"It's not!"

"Oh?" Meng Chenxi put down the medical book and raised her eyes to look at Tyson. At this time, a knock sounded, and outside the door, the voice of the white tiger came, "Master, the subordinate white tiger asks to see." ”

The White Tiger is back?

"Come in."

The sound fell, and Tyson opened the door to let the white tiger in.

"Big Brother Bai."

"Tyson, you've worked my days with my grandfather." The white tiger walked in and had a few words with Tyson.

"That's what Tyson should do."

The white tiger bowed his head, and the two came to Meng Chenxi side by side, "Master." ”

"Coming back?" Meng Chenxi nodded.

White Tiger: "Master, my subordinates caught a person and came back, that person was a henchman in the second room of the Feng Mansion, but on the way, that person was assassinated, and his subordinates came to ask Ye for his guilt." ”

"What is the sin?"

"The subordinates did not take good care of the witnesses."

"That man is dead, and when I see him, he will be dead. Tell me, what else did you find besides people? Meng Chenxi believes that things are not so simple.

"These days, my subordinates have focused on checking the second room of Feng Mansion, it turns out that she is an old acquaintance, her name is Zhuang Yuhan, and the second lady An who was expelled from the Marquis An's Mansion seventeen years ago."

"She?" Meng Chenxi was surprised.

In this place, all the acquaintances he met were from the Mansion of the Marquis of An.

It's really interesting.

After hearing this, what he had thought was a mystery before, now suddenly became clear.

He secretly investigated the corruption case involved in the Marquis An's Mansion, all the way to Pingshan Town, and now he finally has an eyebrow. The Marquis of An's Mansion must have used the Guò Feng Mansion to launder the income, which is really a good strategy.

"Baihu, you continue to investigate, this Zhuang Yuhan is a key person, her relationship with the Marquis of An's Mansion, as well as her contacts over the years, and the role she played in the Feng Mansion, you have investigated them for me one by one. I have a strong instinct that this time, we have been tracking things for many years, and there must be a result in this place. ”

When the white tiger heard this, he was shocked, "Yes, master." ”

"Remember, as long as you don't pull out the fox tail of the Marquis of An's mansion, you must not startle the snake. This Zhuang Yuhan must not move, we have to use her to fish out the conspiracy of the Marquis of An's Mansion. ”

Meng Chenxi explained in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir."

"Zhuang Yuhan must have sent someone to secretly monitor the Gu family mother and daughter in Niujiao Village, and you take the opportunity to let them know that they are safe."

Tyson arched his hand, "My subordinates will go down and arrange it." ”

Meng Chenxi got up, "White Tiger, you continue to stay here to investigate, Tyson, let's go back to Niujiao Village." ”

"Yes, sir." White Tiger and Tyson responded in unison.

The three of them left the inn together, Baihu disappeared into the night alone, Meng Chenxi got into the carriage and rushed back to Niujiao Village overnight.

The next morning, Lai and Shi Fengzhu woke up, washed and combed, and prepared to go to the street to buy something, and then go home early.

"Mother, I'm all packed, let's go down and check out, right?"

Lai nodded, "Good! Let's go. With that, she felt into her clothes, which were empty, and her heavy purse was gone.

His face was pale, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Lai's expression was flustered and rummaged around, and on the side, Shi Fengzhu was also anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what are you looking for?" Is something missing? ”

"Fengzhu, have you seen your mother's money bag?"

There was a buzz in his head, and Shi Fengzhu also panicked, "Mother, don't panic first, think about it, where did you put the things?" Do you have any hiding somewhere in the house? ”

Lai Shi said firmly: "I am not mistaken, the money bag has always been close to me." She rummaged over the bed, even under the bed, but there was still no trace of the money bag.

The room was a mess.

The mother and daughter sat on the ground exhausted.

A face of disgrace.

The silver that has not yet been covered with heat is gone.

"Woooooooooo......oo Mother, what can I do? We're gone, and I have a lot to buy. If we had known, we should have hired a carriage and gone home overnight. Save being remembered by the bandits. It's good now, we don't even have any money on us. ”

Shi Fengzhu cried.

Lai listened, his head was about to explode.

She was already flustered, confused and painful in her heart, but now listening to Shi Fengzhu crying and scolding, she scolded loudly: "Enough, do you think things are not messy enough?" What do you cry about? How could there be so many who knew that if I had known that the money would be lost, I would have stood all night without sleeping. ”

Shi Fengzhu immediately fell silent.

Suddenly, Lai got up and rushed out.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, your inn is a thief, and my silver has been stolen."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper behind the counter hurriedly ran out, "This sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense, our inn is not closed at night, and there has never been a thief, and no guest has ever been stolen." If you say this, you have to have evidence, otherwise, I will sue you for living in the overlord store, and I will also slander the reputation of my inn. ”

If there is a thief in this inn

If there was a thief scandal in this inn, his inn would not have to open its doors for business.

Lai wanted to find the shopkeeper's claim, but he didn't expect to be blamed by him. Suddenly, the anger in his heart soared, and he dragged the shopkeeper upstairs.

"Shopkeeper, if you don't believe, go up and see."

"I'm not going! This can't happen, if you make trouble again, I'll just drag you to the government. The shopkeeper shook off her hand and pointed at her angrily, "You are a guest, I don't want to be treated, please check out and settle the bill, and leave my inn quickly." ”

"You?" Lai didn't expect this to be the case, "You don't make any sense at all." She said, as if she suddenly understood, "Oh, I see, you're a black shop, right?" You stole my fifty-six taels of silver, and you don't recognize it now, but you still bite me back. You're a black shop, come on, this is a black shop. ”

Lai suddenly let go of him, rushed out of the inn door, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Come and see, this is a black shop. They were so black-hearted that they stole my money when I stayed here for one night. Now not only do they not admit it, but they also bite back and say that they want to send me to the official mansion. Come around, come and judge, this is a black shop......"

On the street, people came and went, Lai's loud voice was raised, and many people were surrounded at once.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was so angry that he asked Xiao Er to go to the county office to find an official errand, and he came out in a hurry.

"Fellow villagers, as you all know, my inn is a century-old name left by my ancestors, and it has always been considered to be well served. Now that this woman has brought her woman to live in the overlord guest, I wanted to calm things down, but I didn't expect her to beat her upside down. Today, I also invite you folks to comment on the reasoning, so as to save my reputation. ”

"I-" Lai snorted hatefully, "You're still a hundred-year-old number, in my opinion, you are a thousand-year-old black shop, specializing in pit customers." My money was obviously lost at your inn, and you didn't admit it. ”

When the people saw that each of them had his own reason, some of them did good deeds and asked, "This sister-in-law, you said that you lost your money, but may I ask you, what is your money bag like?" What kind of pattern is embroidered on it, and how much silver is in it? ”

"yes, you tell me."

Lai Shi thought for a while, frowned, and said, "I have fifty-six taels in my money bag." ”

Ho.

Everyone gasped and looked Lai's up and down.

Her clothes were shabby, and her whole body revealed that she was a rural woman.

But she said that she had fifty-six taels, which made people unbelievable.

"Sister-in-law, do you have fifty-six taels? You're not mistaken, right? ”

Lai straightened his waist, swept around the crowd, and said: "I'm not mistaken, I just have fifty-six taels, I came to the county yesterday to do business, I just got fifty taels, and six taels I brought from home." ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Still not convinced.

"What's the pattern on the money bag?"

Lai thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't remember whether there was any embroidery on the money bag and what patterns were embroidered? They had the money yesterday, and they were so happy that they counted it over and over again, and they didn't care what the money bag looked like.

However, she is also smart and will not let people know this.

"It's pure yellow, no embroidery."

"What do you do to buy and sell at once and earn fifty taels? If you're really good at making money, how do you dress like this? Also, you and your daughter each carried a load of things last night, and you clearly didn't sell them, so where did you get the money? ”

The shopkeeper is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and a few words make Lai's speechless.

Lai choked.

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to return my silver, otherwise, don't say that you take me to see the official, I will also pull you to the official."

Lai's tricks.

"Grab your stuff and get out of our inn."

The two shopkeepers threw Lai's things on the street, and Shi Fengzhu hurriedly ran to Lai's side, with red eyes, "Mother, they threw out all our things." ”

Lai scolded: "What do you mean by this? I'm going to the county government to sue you. ”

"Let's go to the county government together." The shopkeeper nodded and readily agreed.

This crazy woman, if she continues to mess with her, she will suffer even more.

simply let the magistrate judge and return his innocence.

"Let's go, who's afraid of whom?"

The three of them walked to the county government office under the support of the masses, and met the official errand on the way, who was the shopkeeper and sent Xiao Er to invite them, and directly escorted them back to the yamen halfway.
