Chapter 46 The crux of the matter

"Mother." Yu Pianpian came to Huo's side and smiled sweetly, "I am not thinking that sister Linlang has been living outside all year round and has not learned any rules. After returning home, she will make her mother sick one after another."

"If my sister can read more books in the academy and learn some rules and ethics, it will be a good thing for the whole family."

Yu Pianpian sighed as she spoke, "Sister Linlang must have suffered a lot of grievances after being outside for so many years. She must be resentful, resentful and uncomfortable in her heart. I can understand all of this."

"She still dares to be angry and resentful?" Huo's anger was aroused by Yu Pianpian with just a few words, "My parents gave birth to her and raised her. She is ungrateful and disobedient many times. This kind of child should not be brought back to provoke others." angry."

"Mom, don't say that." Yu Pianpian comforted her softly, "Do you think that when sister Linlang learns more rules and etiquette in the academy, won't she and her daughter be able to honor their father and mother together?"

"Isn't it a good thing for a mother to have more daughters to support her?"

Mrs. Huo was so moved by her precious daughter's filial piety that she hugged Yu Pianpian and said "Oh, baby" with a smile on her face, "I know that my Pianpian is the most kind and sensible person. She can think so much about that wild girl."

"But Shuyun Women's College doesn't say you can get in if you can. Don't you have to pass the exam yourself?"

"That's no problem. Just ask father to say hello to Chief Yang. It's just a matter of inserting one person in. I think the chief will also give father, the governor, face."

Mrs. Huo smiled from ear to ear, then snorted again, "You're taking advantage of that wild girl. We Pianpian got in by ourselves back then. For her, your father had to go through the back door."

"Your father is busy lately. I'll talk to him after the case is over. Whether it works or not depends on fate."

"Mother, I know you love your daughters the most. Sister Linlang will definitely know how good you are to her in the future. As for your daughter, she will also work hard to get along with her sister and strive to become good sisters with her as soon as possible."

"You." Huo shook his head helplessly and pointed at her forehead, "My mother doesn't know if it's right to teach you this way. She taught you to be so gentle and kind, and she has never been unkind to others."

"Mother." Yu Pianpian moved into Huo's arms, suppressing a sly smile in her eyes, "Pianpian has the protection of her father and mother, so she will not suffer any loss."

……

At the same time, the Mu Mansion Hotel was brightly lit late at night.

The servant brewed a new pot of tea, held his breath and bowed away.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wu Yong walked quickly into the door and bowed his hands in greeting, "My subordinates led the government servants and went to Niujiaji again, and found a small bag of silver in Niu's house."

Wu Yong’s trip was quite fruitful.

When he untied the small bundle and revealed the five or six silver ingots inside in front of everyone, Chen Buyu couldn't help but stand up.

"Could it be that these are all collected from the Niu family?"

There were forty or fifty taels of silver in the little bundle!

This is a lot of money, and ordinary farmers may not be able to save ten taels in a year.

Wu Yong looked excited and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Chen, we have gained a lot from this trip. We also looked around for the neighbors and inquired carefully. They said that the two sons of the Niu family have been gambling for several years. If we have a little money, we can go there I ran a casino, and I was a regular visitor to the gambling parlors in the county. Later, when I had more money, I often went to Fucheng to gamble."

"How is the investigation going at Changle Gambling House?" Chen Buyu asked. "I asked the steward, but he couldn't remember clearly. He just said that the two brothers almost lost every time. They must have lost three to four hundred taels."

"The two of them gambled and sold their land when they lost. The two brothers gambled away only two acres of the original twenty acres of Yongye farmland at home. These two brothers were too lazy to farm, so they still leased the two acres to the village. A neighbor planted it."

"You can imagine how tight life is. According to the villagers, the Niu family has always been in poverty, so it is quite surprising that the bride is throwing a banquet at the beginning of the year."

"After asking around, my subordinates all said that their family started to get rich two years ago. The neighbor next door also said that Aunt Niu had a very fierce temper and had quarrels with almost every household in the village. The little lady from the scholar's family, She is the bride they bought with their money.”

"After marrying into the family, Mrs. Niu was very proud. When she met everyone, she said that the young lady from the scholar's family was very beautiful and smart because she could read and practice calligraphy. In the future, she would definitely give birth to a grandson with a good brain and a good reputation. In the future, she would be their grandson. The Niu family wants a champion to come out."

"Then based on this calculation, there must be five hundred taels for the two brothers to spend on gambling. In other words, their family made a fortune two years ago." Chen Buyu said in a low voice, "That's awesome. Find out if anything special happened two years ago?"

"People in the village said it was nothing special, but they all remember it very clearly. It seems that it was when their first eldest daughter-in-law died that they became rich."

"Niu Erji was more aggressive in gambling than his eldest brother. Neighbors said that not long after their eldest daughter-in-law died, the two brothers had a fierce fight. At that time, they even went to the village head and threatened to separate the family. In the end, Mrs. Niu gave her a Pressed down."

"After that, Niu Erji took his wife to work in the city. The money he earned changed hands and was sent to gambling houses almost every month."

"In that case, the crux of the problem is probably his dead ex-daughter-in-law." Lu Qian couldn't help but speak after listening for a long time.

"My subordinates also thought it was very possible. So I asked around in the village. The villagers all said that the ex-daughter-in-law escaped from Jinzhou and married into the Niu family alone. Jinzhou is far away from here, so it is impossible to ask immediately. All information about her."

At this point, a guard from the Mu Mansion hurried in from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Liang's Mansion has been compromised."

Mu Zhao hurriedly stood up and said, "Can I inform Governor Jade?"

"I've already sent a notice and asked the governor to lead the people from the water dragon team to put out the fire."

Mu Zhao nodded and took the outer cloak and put it on, "Let's go over and have a look."

In this room, Miss Yu's whole body was numb.

I really don’t understand what happened to the governor. Why did Prince Liang send someone to wake her up and take her to watch when there was a fire in Prince Liang’s palace?
Yu Linlang was sleepy and had three or five question marks on her head. It was simply unbelievable.

To Nanny Hu who knocked on the door, she said, "There is another death in your family"?
"Girl, the master said that the murderer who disguised himself as a demon and killed people has probably been caught! I want you to go to the front of the mansion quickly. The carriage is already parked there."

The carriage rushed along the long and empty street, bypassing Yong'an Gate and heading straight to Ansheng Street where Prince Liang's Mansion was located.

Hurry and hurry over, the water dragon team has been there for a long time.

Yu Linlang just couldn't figure out why she was asked to come...

She got off the carriage while the crowd was buzzing, and stood in front of the door of Prince Liang's Mansion, which was dimly lit by fire. She turned around and met Mu Shizi's starry eyes.
