The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

succeed

The purpose of Jia Lian's coming here is to "strike the grass and startle the snakes". Only when those thieves take action can they find out the other's lair in one fell swoop and catch them all.Staying here can also stabilize Zhang Hongde by the way, which can be regarded as "killing two birds with one stone".

It's a pity that County Magistrate Zhang didn't know, he thought he had coaxed the young master Jia Lian.Zhang Hongde is very confident about the secret of Boss Jin's lair. He is sure that as long as the other party hides immediately after hearing the news, even if someone turns Qingfeng Mountain upside down, he will never be found again.

The two had their own ghosts, but they were there to exchange cups and cups with others, and they became close to "brother and brother" after a while.

Originally, it took more than half an hour for the food and wine to be delivered, but later the officials of the county government had to toast to Mrs. Lin's two nephews one by one.

Zhang Hongde thought to himself, how can you suppress the bandits when you drink like this?Wait until tomorrow to make sure the day lily is cold!

What he didn't see was that a man dressed as a servant came in from outside the door, walked up to Jia Lian and whispered.Jia Lian asked a question, and when he saw the other party nodded affirmatively, he immediately smiled.

Seeing Jia Lian's strange smile, Zhang Hongde couldn't help asking, "Second Master, what good thing happened to him, that he smiled so brightly?"

The corner of Jia Lian's mouth curled up: "It's nothing serious, but the brothers found a gold mine in Qingfeng Mountain, and they also caught a group of private gold diggers along the way."

The anti-thief of the mine, it is said that the leader is the one who robbed us last time, it seems to be called Jin Da, I wonder if Mr. Zhang recognizes it? "

Zhang Hongde was shocked in his heart, his back broke out in cold sweat in an instant, and felt that Jia Lian must be scaring him, so he pretended to be calm and laughed: "Second Master was joking, since he is a thief, how can I know him? This Qingfeng Mountain There is also a gold mine, I don’t even know about it. It’s just that the second master’s staff are not all eating in front? When did you go to Qingfeng Mountain?”

Jia Lian replied indifferently: "I have a bad memory, and I forgot to tell the magistrate Zhang. In fact, I did not come alone. My uncle knew that I was wronged and was very worried, so he specially borrowed five hundred soldiers from the guard. , personally led the team to Qingfeng Mountain. This time, everyone has stolen money and is on the way to Wuchang Mansion."

"What?" Zhang Hongde exclaimed, still in disbelief, and struggling to laugh dryly, "Second...Second Lord must be joking, right?"

Jia Lian stood up abruptly: "Do you think I'm idle, young master? You're not a beauty, to waste so much time joking with you here? You don't have the money!" They couldn't help laughing.

Even Lin Ming had a headache: This Lian Er can really say anything.

Now that he has obtained the letter, there is no need to waste it here. He reminded Jia Lian: "Second brother Lian, since the important matter has been decided, let's hurry up and don't let it get too far away."

An inconspicuous man next to Jia Lian went out and gave an order, and those who were originally dressed as servants immediately stood up and took off their green clothes to reveal their military uniforms.The crowd quickly surrounded the Qingshan County Yamen, Zhang Hongde still wanted to make a dying struggle, but Lin Ming

He shouted: "Zhang Hongde, you'd better plead guilty now, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children and grandchildren.

Zhang Hongde was startled, and then he saw a group of people coming in with their wives, concubines and children tied behind their backs. Own.

He slumped on the chair, suddenly thought of the big-bellied outer room in Songshan Lane, and suddenly had hope again...

However, a sentence from the chief envoy's nephew instantly shattered all his fantasies: "By the way, there is something that Mr. Zhang should know. Just now I sent someone to Songshan Lane to invite your lady in the outer room. I don't know if this lady is guilty of a guilty conscience. When she saw an official, she was about to run away. She accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell on the bluestone board. She lost her baby on the spot. I am not the kind of hard-hearted person. I am a decent doctor at this moment Give her a diagnosis and treatment, and let her be with your wives and aunts when she is ready. I also ask Mrs. Zhang to express my condolences! But you are really partial to this concubine, and the brothers found dozens of 50 taels from her Heavy gold bars, half a box of silver ingots, and countless other gemstones. Tsk tsk, it's just a pity..."

His words made Zhang Hongde's wife, Wang Shi, who was originally tearful, glared at him instantly. Lin Ming believed that if the outer chamber was in front of her at this moment, she might tear it up on the spot.

Those who are in charge have already obeyed the law, and the rest of the young people will be much easier to deal with.

In the past few days, Xueyan obviously felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was very tense, and suddenly there were many more guards at the second gate.The corner gates along the street were all sealed, not to mention, they were not allowed to go out at leisure.Even her big maid would be interrogated once or twice when she appeared in the front yard, she murmured in her heart, it seems that Lin Ruhai should have already started to act, but he is quite fast, but if he acts in such a haste, I don't know if he can succeed in one fell swoop .

As a result, one day later, when she accompanied Daiyu to pay her respects, she saw the proud Lin Ming and the others.Seeing her, Lin Ming secretly gave her a wink. Judging by his appearance, things should be going very smoothly.Seeing that his body is safe and unharmed, Xueyan's heart is finally in her stomach.

At this time, Mrs. Liu said to Daiyu: "Sister Yu came just in time. Your brothers are all capable heroes, and this time they helped your father make a great contribution. Come and do something for them." Let’s take it as a thank you for your father and me.”

Although Daiyu was somewhat puzzled, she obediently bowed, "Thank you brothers."

Several people hurriedly returned the salute, saying "dare not".

Afterwards, Daiyu hurriedly looked at Mrs. Liu: "I don't know what great achievements the elder brothers have made for my father?"

Liu said with a smile: "They discovered a secret gold mine in Qingshan County, and now they have found several 10 taels of gold and 10,000+ silver from the homes of those people and the Qingshan county magistrate."

so much?Hearing that there were hundreds of thousands of gold, Xueyan was a little shocked. How much gold does the treasury have?He thought that Lin Ruhai was prosperous this time, and if the gold was safely delivered to the hands of the emperor, it would probably benefit generations of descendants.

Hearing this news, Daiyu was also very pleasantly surprised.

However, Mrs. Liu immediately warned: "For your father, it is not yet determined whether this matter is merit or demerit. Just be clear in your heart, and don't discuss this matter with the servants when you go back. Besides, what is involved in this matter I'm afraid there are quite a few officials, big and small, and it's inevitable that there will be people jumping over the wall in a hurry at this time

You guys, these days you'd better stay in the backyard and not go out. "

Then he told Xueyan and the others: "You must take good care of the girl's food, clothing, housing and transportation. You must not leave the girl. Once you find anything wrong, you can't be careless. In addition, don't talk about today's affairs after you go back. If the mansion is full of uproar, I won't accept it."

Xueyan thought, if the emperor can help the emperor get so much gold and silver, and there is still a gold mine that has not been mined, if the emperor does not confess Lin Ruhai, how will he win over courtiers and consolidate his power in the future?Then there is King Zhongshun who is eyeing him covetously!
