On New Year's Eve, Lin Lu stayed up until the next morning in good spirits. At noon, she saw Hai Lancha approaching the door with a dark face.

"Are you crazy, how dare you act lawless like this?" When Hai Lancha saw his round face, he rushed over in an instant, and his neck was loosely stuck, "I really treat this place like Yangzhou city. Kyoto is the city of Beijing, the crouching dragon land under the feet of the emperor!"

"Crazy or not, what are you talking about in New Year's Eve?" Lin Lu was still smiling with her neck in his hand, without any fear, "Why am I messing around, brother, you can't say such nonsense."

Hai Lancha took a deep breath, looked left and right, dragged him into the study, closed the door and said, "Did you bother the Jia family yesterday?"

"No, I had dinner with my sister yesterday. Who is going to trouble them when they have nothing to do? I have to celebrate the New Year myself." Lin Luqing stared at Hai Lancha without showing any weakness, and frowned , "Why, did something happen at the Rongguo Mansion?"

Hai Lancha took a second look at Lin Lu. Qianlong told him about it early this morning. The emperor's explanation was very well-founded. He had a bad fight with Lin Lin yesterday, and because it was almost New Year's Eve, Qianlong couldn't let her At this time, I was still working overtime, so the monitoring personnel were withdrawn, so I don't know who did it.

Hai Lancha only knew that there was a big mess in Jia's family, and he didn't think of Lin's family at all, but Qianlong asked him to ask, but he couldn't refuse.

He thought for a while and said: "Early this morning, Jia's family made a big fuss, clamoring to report to the officials, but I don't know why it was dropped, and they didn't go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion."

"What's going on?" Lin Lu sneered in her heart with a blank face. Of course the Jia family didn't dare to call the police. In addition to taking a few bank notes, he also took away the loan notes.

The bills were stored in a very hidden small box in the floor compartment. When Lin Lu walked in, she felt something was wrong when she stepped on the floor. After careful inspection, there was something strange. I thought it was some kind of treasure, but there was nothing wrong with it. Think of these things.

Lin Lu had heard rumors that a servant named Laiwang from the Rongguo Mansion was collecting money outside, and that Laiwang seemed to be Wang Xifeng's subordinate, but it had been a while since the paper in his hand had turned yellow, and it was not It's not something in recent years. It should be traced back to before Wang Xifeng married in. At that time, Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper.

Lin Lu borrowed Shan Hai from Lin Lin to investigate what happened at that time. Unfortunately, one of them was because the time interval was a bit long, and the other was probably Mrs. Wang's scheming, and she did things more carefully than Wang Xifeng. Shan Hai did not Get as much information as you can get.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know the cause and effect. The bill in your hand is actually real. Lin Lu thinks it's funny when she thinks about it. Mrs. Wang usually pretends to be like a Buddha. She is also known as a kind-hearted and kind person. Such things as lending money and charging high interest rates, this is a solid black history.

Hai Lancha was silent for three seconds, still didn't see anything from his face, frowned and said: "Oh, the emperor sent another person to investigate in private, it seems to be related to money, the Jia family recruited a thief last night .”

Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, then changed her expression, and widened her eyes a little annoyed, "What do you mean, you suspect me when the Jia family lost something? Could it be that the young master of the Lin family is a thief, a thief?"

Hai Lan saw that she was really annoyed, and most of the doubts in her heart dissipated. She hugged Lin Lu's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile, "Why, I'm just asking, how can I really doubt that you did it..."

Before the word "what" was said, the door of the study room opened with a creak, and Hai Lancha felt that his arm on Lin Lu's shoulder was so cold that it could drop ice shards. Seeing Lin Lin's cold Standing at the door with a straight face and not speaking, she hastily withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Zi Yu is here?"

"The butler told me that you had a little conflict with your brother, and you were afraid of a real quarrel, so you called me here." Lin Lin pulled her red lips and sneered, "He always makes a big fuss, isn't it just right for you guys? No business." Losing money from Jia's family is nothing but a big deal, and it's worth your time to mobilize people to come here to question your crimes.

Hai Lancha smiled very honestly: "Of course, we have a good relationship."

Lin Lu turned her back to him and rolled her eyes. This stupid big man was pointed at his nose and satirized him, but he didn't realize it.

Lin Lin was also choked, no matter how strong the firepower was, she couldn't keep her from being in the same dimension as him, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai also required Huaishu to have the IQ to be able to hear that she was being scolded, so she didn't speak anymore, just sat down on the chair .

The big maid Ning Xin brought tea, and Lin Lu also asked Hai Lancha to sit down, because the atmosphere was not good just now, so she deliberately picked up some trivial matters: "Let's discuss the matter of opening a shop last time. It's almost done, and when you're done with this faction, you can appoint someone you can trust, and you can start the business."

None of the people here are short of money. Lin Lu was busy opening the shop herself to relieve boredom. Seeing that Hai Lancha nodded without paying much attention and looked absent-minded, she put the matter aside and said with a smile: "Why? You already know that I am not responsible for the Jia family's affairs, so why are you still frowning? The emperor gave less red envelopes this year?"

"No, how can it be? It's a matter in the army." Hai Lancha sighed, "An accident happened again in Huijiang, and it won't make people feel peaceful after a year."

Back to Xinjiang, what's the matter?Lin Lu looked at Lin Lin in a blink of an eye, already thinking about it.It seems that Hai Lancha came here today just to ask about the Jia family's affairs, mainly to talk about this matter.

Sure enough, Lin Lin was clear in her heart, didn't ask anything, and directly frowned and said: "The Qing army won the battle in July, and news has been released that Yili has been pacified. It has been more than half a year today, so it has not been resolved yet? "

Hailancha's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded, "The leader, Amursana, still hasn't been executed, and the other three ministries have rebelled. The emperor has received a secret report, and Amursana has established himself as the chief of the four ministries. He also trapped and killed He Qidutong. The emperor was very angry. This time the leader of the army is General Daerdang A. I am afraid that he will be left behind. Losing his official position is not a trivial matter."

"I don't know the details, the news that the rebellion has been put down was told to me by my husband." Lin Lin was not fooled, and she looked away coldly, "It seems that you shouldn't tell me about this kind of national affairs. "

Seeing that the temptation was fruitless, Hailan nodded and said, "It's okay, it's not a secret, this matter will spread sooner or later, but I told you, you only knew about it a few days ago."

Lin Lin ignored him, and Lin Lu took over the conversation with a smile: "Although such a mess has happened, especially on a festive day, it is really annoying. Fortunately, the saint Wencheng Wude, shines through the ages, and a few jumping clowns After making a lot of trouble, it will not shake the foundation of my Qing Dynasty."

Hearing these words was what Qianlong liked to hear, and Hai Lancha was quite satisfied with the result, drank the tea, stood up and said: "The New Year's greetings are coming soon, it's quite busy, I won't bother you any more. "

Lin Lu sent the man to the door and went back to the study, holding the stove in both hands with a smile on her face: "Monk, you still said that I'm so wicked, look at your own father who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. You and I are reluctant to leave, checking homework and stuffing red envelopes, and in a blink of an eye, you and I are suspicious."

"Being able to touch the warehouse of the Rongguo Mansion under the eyes of the guards at the two sticky poles without anyone noticing shows that he is not an ordinary person. People who really have this ability will not look down on a small Duke's mansion." " Lin Lin had expected such an incident a long time ago, so she was not surprised at all, "When he thinks about it, he will naturally think of me first."

"Your father suspects you." Lin Lu rolled her eyes and reminded him to pay attention to the key points. What they should care about is not why Qianlong doubted you, but the matter itself.

"So what? I didn't take his so-called guilt in my heart. It's unrealistic to expect an emperor's conscience to find out. Besides, he is such a self-centered person. How can he know?" What do you mean by 'considering others'?" Lin Lin touched the corners of her lips, poured out the residual tea in the teacup, and replaced it with hot tea, "There are still three years of filial piety. When others are fools or blind, at least before the martial arts, I can't let people know that I have a special connection with the current emperor."

Lin Lu smiled and said, "Okay, I know you have a strong bone." He felt that Lin Lin is indeed a person who can accomplish great things. She makes decisive decisions with a murderous spirit, and never procrastinates and hesitates.

With Lin Lin's ability, it would not be a problem to become a champion of martial arts in three years' time, but if someone who cared about him knew that he had a good relationship with the emperor, it would always appear that the champion of martial arts came from an unhealthy background. The act of labeling.

Now it's all right, offended Qianlong directly, Qianlong's arrogant attribute overwhelmed the sadistic and brain-twitching attribute, and won a temporary victory, so naturally he won't come here for a stroll.

Tsk, I'm not afraid that people will be really annoyed that you don't recognize this son, Lin Lu shrugged her shoulders, said without saying much, and said with a smile, "Let's go, monk, before Hai Lancha came, I asked the butler to prepare the firecrackers. Let's order together, go to get rid of bad luck."

——————————————————————————————————————

Lin Lu dragged Lin Lin to play happily with the two brothers, but the housekeeper's wife of Rongguo Mansion was flustered like ants on a hot pot at this time, and she completely lost the joy of the New Year.

Mrs. Wang came out of Jia Mu's room, went back to her own room, sat on the kang and watched Zhou Rui's house close the door, took a deep breath, and shivered a bit: "You can see clearly, there is really no one. left?"

Even though he knew the facts, he couldn't help but want to struggle to his death. Zhou Rui's family looked at the cold light in her eyes, and replied bravely: "Madam, this servant can see clearly, and even went to see her twice. Over and over again, the hidden compartment is empty, and there are not a single one of dozens or hundreds of bills left!"

Mrs. Wang stared blankly at her for a few seconds, then stretched out her hand holding the Buddhist beads and pinched her wrist desperately: "What's going on? I woke up with no money and no bills. What's wrong with this?" It must be done by an acquaintance, I am afraid there is a family thief."

Zhou Rui's family was so frightened that they wanted to hide but didn't dare to hide. They stood there stiffly with their lips trembling.

"You are my companion, the person I trust the most," Mrs. Wang stared at Zhou Rui's dim yellow eyes that implied fear, and a bunch of blue veins bulged in her temples. "Who was it that coaxed me to put the bill in the From the public warehouse?"

Zhou Rui's family saw that they had doubts about him, and complained endlessly, and hurriedly said: "This slave also has good intentions, my wife just came here at that time, and she hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, if she accidentally makes a fuss, there will be big troubles, and there are not many people around. There are two maids stuffed in by old ladies in the room, so it is naturally extremely unsafe."

When Mrs. Wang first married, Jia's mother had already left her business. Jia Lian's biological mother had been sick for a long time, and she also passed away soon. Rongguo Mansion lacked real power in the inner courtyard, so she took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Jia's mansion. , holding tens of thousands of silver coins in his hand, he gradually became more courageous.

Mrs. Wang thought that she could use this to make up for the dowry, so she tentatively sent Zhou Rui out to work. After a year, she didn't reveal her secrets, but she became more courageous when things were done, and she gradually let go of her hands and feet. Big money.

It's a pity that Jia Amnesty married Mrs. Xing at the time when the spring breeze was triumphant, and Jia's mother seemed to have heard a little bit of the wind, and arranged for surveillance. Mrs. Wang was afraid that the matter would be revealed, and her room was no longer safe. Holding it in my hand, no matter who wants to go in, I can watch from the side, and it has become the most hidden place.

With this small incident, Mrs. Wang did not dare to act casually anymore, so Zhou Rui stopped lending money, and did not continue lending money after getting back the interest money of the month, and kept the receipts for that month in the compartment. Did not get it back.

Mrs. Wang thought a lot, but she never expected that there would be a day when her treasury would be stolen and stolen. Losing money is still a trivial matter. If those bills are shaken out, the reputation of the entire family will be ruined.

The matter is of great importance, Mrs. Wang tightened her hands, seeing that the panic of Zhou Rui's family didn't look like a disguise, she didn't dispel her suspicions: "It's been so many years, only you and my wife know about this matter, now the bill is lost , I didn’t take it anyway.”

Zhou Rui's family lowered their heads, their arms were so painful that they were about to break off, and they said in a sad voice, "Could it be that the servants took them? My wife and I are both illiterate, and the name on it is my man's name. Why do the servants want these?"

The flesh on Mrs. Wang's right face trembled, and she didn't believe this statement. Those bills were indeed Zhou Rui's Achilles' heel, and also her lifeblood. Come on her head.

Zhou Rui's family's formula is Mrs. Wang's formula. The two grew up together. Seeing this situation, there is still something that they don't understand. If there is even the slightest bit of disgust and malice, let Master Qingtian strike me with a lightning strike!"

"Where can Master Qingtian take care of these nosy things?" Mrs. Wang let go of her hand and touched the Buddhist beads on her wrist, "Go back and ask Zhou Rui if he was drunk and leaked someday."

Zhou Rui's family responded in a hurry.

"It's not over yet, and the old lady is very angry. The elder and the second master said that they wanted to report to the police. I was still worried, but fortunately, the old lady stopped me. This matter really can't be made public. It's probably a house thief. Be careful. Search it again." Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, her red lips collapsed into a straight line, her face was still blue, "Once you seriously search for the lowly thing, you won't be able to escape him, we'll just wait... just in case Even with the incident of pulling out the bills, it is also a matter of right and wrong."

It's been too long. Could it be that Mother Jia still finds the housekeeper's wife because of what happened six or seven years ago?The old lady will only try to cover up things that smell bad even if she covers them.

Hurting the enemy by one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred is something that an old man like Jia Mu would do, or he would not look at Mrs. Wang's face, but in Jia Mu's eyes, Yuan Chun and Hanyu's phoenix eggs, who are about to come back to visit their relatives, cannot be ignored. Jia Baoyu.

Zhou Rui's family waited cautiously, Madam Wang closed her eyes: "You go back first, I will call you if there is something else."

Once it is found out who did it, Mrs. Wang intends to take the little thief from Jiamu's hands and deal with it herself. After so many years of Buddha, the thief may have forgotten her methods back then, so she dared to do this He was so bold that he provoked her.
