After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 13 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
Inn kitchen.

The family of three from the second room and Aunt Cui sat together, lighting an oil lamp that could barely illuminate people, but they ate heartily.

What I ate were small wontons with soup and water.

"There's too little meat. It's not enough to fit between your teeth. It's bland and tasteless."

After Mu Zhengchuan finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and cursed.

Mrs. Hong was waiting for her son Mu Yunnian to eat wontons at the side. The ten-year-old child was so fat that his eyes could hardly be seen, and he opened his mouth like a chick, waiting to be fed.

But Mrs. Hong laughed so hard that her eyes were blinded. Seeing that her son was willing to eat, she ate one bite at a time.

Aunt Cuitai was also sitting with them. She even finished her wonton soup and muttered, "Don't be picky. It's all up to mother to divide the family. The big house can no longer take advantage of you."

She is here to take credit.

Hong curled his lips and sneered.

Mu Zhengchuan poked his wife with his arm, motioning for her to give her some face, and then made a flattering expression that made the flesh on his face squeeze together.

"Mom, now that you have divided the family and given it to me, we are a real family. Tell us how many things you have hidden away?" Mu Zhengchuan said, rubbing his hands under the table excitedly.

Aunt Cui rolled her eyes at him.

"They say you don't show your wealth, but I'm just like you idiots."

"Who are you calling an idiot? Why, a foot-washing maid really thinks she is an old lady." Hong was from a good family background, and she held her head high when she spoke, showing her true love for Cui. Auntie's disgust.

Aunt Cui's face turned pale, and she hated Mrs. Mutai in her heart!

Originally no one should know about this.

But seeing this daughter-in-law with a good family background, she knew that she had to set some rules, otherwise she would not be able to get on top of her in the future.

"I see that you, the young tutor of the Hong family, have a second child crawling out of my belly no matter what I do. It's not bad that you disrespected your mother-in-law and didn't give you any advice."

As she said this, she slapped her ear and threw it away.

This slap vented all the anger tonight.

Hong was knocked off the stool and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Mom, you killed someone."

Mu Zhengchuan's fat face was so anxious that he was sweating a little. Suddenly he saw his son lying motionless on the table. He saw that Aunt Cui was also a double image.

"Dong" Mu Zhengchuan also lay on the ground with his limbs spread wide.

Aunt Cui was stunned and looked at her hands.

Why, could she knock out three people with just one slap?

She didn't wonder for too long, even though she had a relatively good foundation, she couldn't withstand the effects of the sweat medicine.

After the second room and his family were laid down, an official came in swaggering and kicked the person lying on the ground casually. The person who had fainted did not even utter a "hum".

"Damn you, you are a bunch of annoying idiots. I could have kept the money in your hands for a few days, cooked a small stove every day, and had better food than us official servants. Are you exiled or are you here as masters?"

The official said and cursed angrily, with all the resentment he had accumulated in his daily life.

As he said that, he started rummaging around Hong.

really.

A bulging bundle was placed at her feet.

The corner of the officer's mouth rose crazily as he opened his baggage.

A thick stack of silver notes, some jade pendants, and gold and silver tassels carved into interesting things filled the whole bag.

The official repackaged the baggage happily, stroking his chin and smiling obscenely, "Hey, Mr. Hong really loves his daughter. This is all cheap..."

"Boom!" The sound of a wooden stick hitting his head interrupted his words.Ruan He saw the official fainting completely, then he threw away the stick and accepted the baggage with a wave of his hand.

She also came here by accident.

After learning that Mu Yunchao borrowed pen and ink from the store and spent five taels of silver, she planned to come to the kitchen to plunder the pen and ink to make up for it, but she saw the second room in a coma.

This is like a scene where the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind.

After arriving, Ruan He took a few more breaths to collect all the eggplants and vegetables in the kitchen into the space, then clapped his hands and left gracefully.

The next morning, when the rooster crows, the inn becomes a mess.

The officer who had been knocked unconscious woke up and found out that something had been robbed from him, so he naturally reported it to his boss.

When the officer saw that the door lock of the inn had not been picked, it must have been the prisoner in the inn or the shopkeeper who knocked the officer unconscious.

Something happened.

The sleeping prisoners were taken out first.

The chief officer, Li Jiang, has always been a cold and resolute person.

He glanced sharply at the prisoners who were still yawning, and said coldly, "Search!"

As a result, every unsuspecting person was searched.

As for the woman, the store's wife helped search for her. Something happened to the official in the inn, so she naturally wanted a chance to redeem herself.

This search turned up a lot of things.

Not surprisingly, they were all confiscated!
As for the things Hong lost, they could never be found again.

The second room and the family who woke up felt like their mother was dead. Mrs. Hong couldn't help wailing. She pointed at the tip of Aunt Cui's nose and shouted loudly, "It must be her, this despicable foot-washing maid, she slapped me." She knocked me out with one slap, she must have taken our things to support the third room."

Mu Zhengyuan, who had just been searched and had hundreds of taels of silver notes taken away, turned pale and said angrily: "Second sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense."

Aunt Cui looked at her own daughter-in-law exposing her old age in front of everyone. She was so angry that she slapped her thigh and cursed, "What the hell are you talking about? I and my second son also fainted. There must be something wrong with the food. I think the store must have stolen it!”

"You black-hearted thing, who are you throwing dirty water on? We have opened an inn here and have been clean and honest for decades, so we have a good reputation. Besides, the vegetables in our store have also been lost!" The shopkeeper's wife rushed forward with a sound of "ouch" and pinched Aunt Cui's flesh.

Aunt Cui naturally struggled with her.

"Which thief steals your vegetables must be your fault!"

"You're a concubine who washes people's feet. I'll scratch your face."

Finally, under the intimidation of the official, the two stopped.

But Aunt Cui still had several handfuls of her hair pulled out, exposing her gray scalp, and the shopkeeper's wife's face was bleeding. Both of them are powerful characters.

Li Jiang half-squinted his eyes and had a guess in his mind.

While searching everyone, he actually sent people to search the room, but found very little.

The biggest suspect is actually the store owner. Although the Menghan medicine was given by his subordinates, someone was behind to take advantage of it.

Originally, in the eyes of the officials, they all assumed that the things carried by the prisoners would belong to them sooner or later. Now that they had lost so much money, they had no sleep at all. They took advantage of the faint light and continued on their way.

The prisoners howled.

The three melons and two dates they were implicated in were confiscated, and they had to leave without being given breakfast.

When will such a day end!
Ruan He, who was hiding behind the crowd, was watching all this, and had his own guess in his heart. The official's temporary search did not find the ginseng seeds.

Moreover, nothing was found on Auntie Cui!

This one is hidden deeper than the other one.
