The Power of the First Daughter, Doctor and Concubine Dominates the World
Chapter 235: the truthChapter 235 The Truth
"The folk woman is telling the truth, the folk woman..."
Nanny Tong walked in and threw a bundle on the ground, the bundle hit the green brick floor with a clang, the bundle fell apart, and inside were more than a hundred taels of silver, a few ingots of gold, and a stack of silver bills .
Zi Mo went forward to count the number of bank notes, and said to Xie Zhiwei, "Girl, it's more than one thousand taels."
Xie Zhiwei looked at the woman who was sifting chaff on the ground with eyes like arrows, and said, "Speak!"
The woman burst into tears all over her body, "Woman, woman said, woman is willing to tell the truth!"
At this moment, Lu Qiling arrived with a group of yamen servants, and the woman raised her head suddenly in shock, just in time to meet Xie Zhiwei's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and a look of despair suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Early the morning before yesterday, a nanny who claimed her husband's surname Jiang came to the shop and said that she was ordered by the county head to check the accounts. All these years, the head of the house has only known a steward named Jin. Jiang Nanny said, Jin Quan belongs to the old lady, and this shop actually belongs to the old lady. Now the old lady is fighting with the old lady, and the old lady won. The old lady is going to check the accounts soon. The old lady is sure I won’t take it out, how could the eldest girl admit her loss, and the head of the family must not be able to go, who made the head of the family not to be loyal to the eldest girl? Do you know how the former shopkeeper Sun left?”
Lu Qiling glanced at Xie Zhiwei, Xie Zhi took a sip of the tea cup with a smile, "This is the truth. Keep talking!"
Zi Mo went up to refill Lu Qiling's tea, and filled it up for Xie Zhiwei.
The woman licked her chapped lips and was about to speak when Xie Zhiwei ordered Zi Mo, "Give her a sip of tea."
The woman was very grateful, took a sip, moistened her throat, and continued, "The head of the family was very sad after hearing this. He said, didn't Manager Jin say that the eldest girl is only ten years old? The old lady is an elder, a filial piety The words are on the top, even if you go out in the future, this shop will not reach the hands of the big girl, what should we do now?"
"In the evening, when the shop was about to close, a carriage stopped at the door, and the old woman came again, saying that the eldest girl had come, and asked to meet at the door. The head of the house was very scared, so he went to the door, and when he came back, the head of the house He didn't keep the house, let the women cook two good dishes, and asked the child to fetch 20 cents of wine, and he drank the wine alone."
"At night, after a day's work, the woman was so tired that she fell on the bed and listened to him moaning and sighing for a long time. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she fell asleep, and got up in the middle of the night, just..."
Xie Zhiwei looked at her, his pair of wonderful eyes seemed to contain frost swords, and sneered, "Is there anything else you didn't say?"
The woman shuddered all over, and said stubbornly, "The woman has said everything she should say, and the woman just wants to know, what did the eldest girl and the head of the house say?"
"You haven't explained where the thousand taels of silver came from?"
"These are saved by the women who are in charge of the family over the years. The head of the family has already said that if he walks ahead of the women in the future, he will use the money to go back to the countryside and buy two acres of land for his two children to study."
"Zhao An, how much money does your father and old manager Zhao get in a year in my village?"
"As for the elder girl, twenty taels of silver a year." He laughed, "This is already very high."
Xie Zhiwei said, "Looking at the salary of shopkeeper Zhu, it seems that I have treated Lao steward Zhao badly. I can save more than a hundred taels of silver after eating and drinking in a year. After ten years, it is more than a thousand taels. No wonder. Shopkeeper Zhu is willing to die for my grandmother!"
Lu Qiling coughed lightly, put on the airs of an elder, "What nonsense!"
After he finished speaking, he said to the woman, "You tell the truth, if you don't tell the truth, then go to the yamen's court and tell it."
The woman had been sifting through the chaff. At this moment, she lowered her head, not daring to look up at Lu Qiling's official uniform, "Returning to the words of Master Qingtian, the women are telling the truth!"
"Then take it away!"
Xie Zhiwei was eager to take her away, so she waited for someone to come in and drag the woman away, but the woman got up and rushed towards Xie Zhiwei, Du Yuan and Du Yun stepped forward and kicked the woman away.
Du Yuan and Du Yun were so angry that they wanted to go forward to kill them all, but they were stopped by Xie Zhiwei, "Your Master Lu is here, so don't be presumptuous!"
"Hmph!" Du Yuan snorted coldly, and stood beside Xie Zhiwei with Du Yun on the left and right.
"You, you, you will die!" The corner of the woman's lips overflowed with blood, "You are domineering and cold-blooded, you killed your own grandmother, you can't tolerate your cousins, God will not let you go."
Xie Zhiwei originally thought about it for the sake of the two children, but when she heard this, her eyes became cold.
Lu Qiling waved his hand and ordered him to be taken away, but the two children were not easy to arrange, and it was impossible to put him in prison for no reason.
"Why don't you send him to Zhuangzi temporarily!" Zhao Ammonium suggested.
"That's the only way to go." Xie Zhiwei had nothing to do.
"No need, I will arrange these two children, or send them to the charity hall, or see if anyone is willing to recruit apprentices, there will always be a source, your place is not going to open tomorrow, right, hurry up and tidy it up, I will come tomorrow Join us."
"Thank you, cousin!"
Lu Qiling went out from the shop, took only two steps, and saw an inconspicuous black-roofed carriage parked quietly at the corner of the street. He was stunned for a moment, but walked over, and cupped his hands at the people in the carriage. "The officer has seen the governor!"
The curtains of the carriage were lifted up, revealing Lu Yan's beautiful face, he looked towards Sibaozhai, and said with a light smile, "I heard that Xiangyun paper is sold here, Get ready to take a look, but who knows, it’s not open yet.”
"It will open tomorrow, and the governor can call people to buy it tomorrow."
"Really? Can you find out what's going on?"
"It's about the same." Lu Qiling cupped his hands, "Please allow two more days, Lord Governor."
"Um!"
Lu Qiling saw Lu Yan's eyes light up suddenly, he turned his head hurriedly, and saw Xie Zhiwei coming out of the store.
Lu Yan also saw it, got up and got off the carriage, Xie Zhiwei had already approached, and saluted Lu Yan.
"Lord Lu!" Xie Zhi said with a smile, "Something happened in the shop today, and the shop hasn't opened yet, so it's a waste of time for Master Lu to come here. I don't know which Xiangyun paper Master Lu likes best. Send it to Mr. Lu."
There was a smile in Lu Yan's eyes, and those enchanting eyes softened under the warm winter sun, shining brightly, as bright as morning stars.
"Miss Xie, you are being polite, so I will not be disrespectful. Those incense sticks are very good, all of them are good, and each has its own advantages. I can't tell which one is good and which one is not."
Xie Zhi slightly pursed her lips and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, she seemed to be amused by Lu Yan's words, she was smug, "Of course, this is the method I figured out from an ancient book, I am the only one in the world who knows it, No one else has done it better than me."
