I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?
Chapter 377 Who else could it be if not him?
After the housekeeper left, Li looked at Wang Qing again.
"Guardian Wang, I'll trouble you to check all the servants in the mansion these days. If you find any servant is not right, tell the housekeeper and sell him out directly."
The old lady didn't say a word about Wang Qing's dereliction of duty.
Nowadays, there are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but no one can guard against thieves for a thousand days. No matter how strict the security is, the other party will always find an opportunity to attack their people.
What’s more, Guardian Wang has just arrived.
However, we still need to take precautions where necessary.
Li paused, and then said, "These days, the mansion has been a bit chaotic, you must guard the gates of the mansion well."
Wang Qing originally thought that since Changsheng was beaten in broad daylight in the mansion, he would be punished to some extent, but he did not expect that the old lady did not mention it. Wang Qing certainly did not think that the old lady had forgotten and just let him go.
Wang Qing felt guilty and grateful at the same time.
After everyone left, Li leaned back on the couch tiredly.
Seeing this, Nanny Hua hurried forward and started rubbing her master's shoulders.
"Madam, who do you think would be so bold as to hurt someone in broad daylight?"
Li looked out the window and sneered, "Who else could it be? It can't be those evil spirits."
Aunt Hua frowned, nodded her chin forward, and whispered, "Could it be that the old man over there ordered this?"
It was a long time after Aunt Hua finished speaking before Li shook her head. "It doesn't look like he did it."
"If it's not him, who else could it be?" Nanny Hua said gritting her teeth.
Although Li didn't want to admit that Changsheng was different from others, he had to admit that Changsheng was not worth those people's effort.
"That old guy wouldn't do anything to someone like Changsheng."
"It has something to do with the group of people next door!" said Aunt Hua hatefully.
Ever since the old lady's grandson and his family came back, this mansion has become much more lively!
The old lady finally had hope, but she didn't expect those bastards to be so cruel and merciless.
She should have known that those people were beasts!
This time, Li didn't say anything and looked out the window.
I don't know when, snow started to fall from the sky, goose feather-like snowflakes fell one by one in the yard, and in the blink of an eye, the outside of the yard was dyed with a layer of white.
Aunt Hua couldn't wait for her master to speak, and her face was full of reluctance, "Master, are we just going to let those people go like this?"
Li came back to her senses and said slowly, "Since the warehouse over there caught fire, the West Mansion is short of money. I heard that Chen secretly lent money out at high interest. Is this news reliable?"
Aunt Hua's eyes lit up immediately, "Reliable, how can it be unreliable?
This news was spread by Xiaolian, the maidservant beside the lady, when they were drinking with her sisters. Xiaolian just heard it, and it was spread because her good sister Qiuju's brother was going to borrow money from a loan shark. What kind of business was he doing? Xiaolian reminded Qiuju not to let her brother borrow money from a loan shark, because he could afford it but couldn't pay it back. "
Li sighed and said something irrelevant, "The snow came a little late this year..."
Hearing this, Aunt Hua looked outside. Seeing the heavy snow, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, it's snowing so fast!"
Li did not continue to talk about the snow, but brought up the previous topic again, "Those who can borrow money at high interest are people with nowhere else to go. Let the housekeeper find a few new faces to contact those who have borrowed money. As long as they are willing to sue the people in the West Mansion for high interest, we can not only make them not pay back the money, but also give them money."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua was immediately delighted. "The court has a rule that if a family member is an official and lends money at usury, it is equivalent to privately minting money and committing the crime of misappropriating money. Once discovered, not only will all the money lent at usury be confiscated, but all those involved will be exiled to the border!
only……"
Nanny Hua hesitated a little as she spoke. "Madam, since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. After all, Master Gong of the West Mansion is an official. If he brings up the name of our mansion, I'm afraid the common people won't dare to sue, especially in the capital. If he falls, he could hit several high officials. The common people are always timid..."
Li said calmly: "I dare not, that's because I haven't reached the end of the road yet."
She raised her hand and pointed outside, "Look, God is on our side! Tomorrow, just arrange the people, and everything will be in God's hands."
Nanny Hua subconsciously followed her master's hand and looked outside. For a moment, she didn't understand what the old lady meant by "God's will".
Even though she didn't understand, but since her master had spoken, she had to do it well no matter what.
What's more, if she backed down just because of a little speculation, Aunt Hua would be unwilling to do so.
The snow this year came suddenly and heavily. If it continues to snow all night, I am afraid that many people will find their lives difficult again.
A heavy snowfall would have little impact on officials and wealthy businessmen, but it could collapse many ordinary people's houses.
For those who already rely on usury to make a living, life will only become more difficult. If someone comes out at this time and tells them that there is a way to make some money without having to pay back the usury, some people will be willing to do it even if it means death, not to mention that what Li offers is a way out.
That afternoon, Wang Qing took a few trusted guards to search the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
His method of searching was also very simple.
In recent years, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion has always been a ruined family in the eyes of the noble families in the capital. In addition, there are few masters in the mansion, and the servants with connections have found ways to leave. The only ones left are some elderly people, some who have received favors from the mansion in their early years, and some who have no way out.
Wang Qing questioned the servants in the mansion one by one, including their names and origins, how many years they had worked in Pingyang Marquis' mansion, whose family they had been a servant before coming here, why they stayed, how much they were paid each month, and who in the mansion they thought was suspicious...
In his early years, he worked as a bodyguard. What he feared most on the road was that someone would suddenly come up to them and ask to go with them. But it would be bad to refuse, because after all, the road was not opened by his family, and they could not stop others if they wanted to go.
To this end, Wang Qing figured out a way to ask questions.
His method was very effective and he dug out a suspicious gardener in just one afternoon.
This gardener was an old man in his fifties or sixties. He did the dirtiest work in the mansion and was paid very low wages, but he could drink good wine every day.
Under normal circumstances, no one would pay attention to this. However, when Wang Qing interrogated the servants in the mansion, one of the servants revealed that the gardener drank every day.
The old gardener's monthly salary was only 500 coins. There had been no happy events in the mansion in the past few years, so naturally there was no reward. Therefore, the old gardener's monthly salary was just that little bit of money.
The old gardener used the five hundred coins to buy wine every month. He did not drink cheap wine of twenty or thirty coins. He usually drank Luofuchun, which cost seventy or eighty coins per catty.
At first, the servants didn't take the old gardener's salary seriously, but after counting on their fingers, they found that it was seventy or eighty cents a day, which means a month... The servant couldn't figure it out, but he knew that it would be higher than the old gardener's monthly salary.
Therefore, the old gardener became the first suspicious person to be found and was immediately locked up in the woodshed by Wang Qing.
Unfortunately, no matter how Wang Qing interrogated him, the old gardener refused to speak. Finally, Wang Qing had no choice but to lock him up and wait until the next morning to ask the housekeeper to make the decision.
The news from the East Palace spread to the West Palace next door.
Gong Shaojia couldn't sit still anymore.
