Chapter 46 The crux of the problem


    "Mother." Yu Pianpian went to Huo''s side and laughed a few times, "I''m not thinking about it. Sister Linlang has been wandering away all year round and can''t learn any rules. After returning home, Lian Bulian gave her mother anger."


    "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, "Miss Linlang has definitely suffered a lot of grievances for so many years. She must be angry, resentful and uncomfortable in her heart, and I can understand all this."


    "How dare she be angry and resentful?" Huo''s anger was indeed picked up by Yu Pianpian''s words. "My parents gave birth to her and raised her, but she disobeyed many times without knowing gratitude. Such a child should not be brought back and made people angry."


    "Mother, don''t say that." Yu Pianpian comforted softly, "You think, when the rules and polite sister Linlang learned in the academy, wouldn''t she be able to respect her father and mother with her daughter?"


    "Isn''t it a good thing for a mother to have multiple daughters to be happy?"


    Huo was moved by his baby daughter''s filial piety. He hugged Yu Pianpian and smiled, "I knew that Pianpian was the most kind and sensible in my family. He could think so much about that wild girl."


    "But Shuyun Women''s College doesn''t mean that you can enter. Don''t you have to get into the exam by yourself?"


    "That''s fine. If you ask your father to say hello to Chief Yang, just stuff one person in. I guess the chief will give his father the face, the governor."


    Huo smiled so hard that he couldn''t stop and hummed again, "It''s cheaper for that wild girl. We Pianpian passed the exam by ourselves back then, and only she needs your father to go through the back door."


    "Your father is busy with things lately. I will talk to him when the case is settled. If it is OK, it depends on your fate."


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


    "Oh." Huo shook his head helplessly, stretched out his fingers and pointed at her forehead, "Mother doesn''t know if it''s right to teach you like this. She taught you so gentle and kindly, and never cared about others."


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


    …


    At the same time, the Mufu Pavilion was brightly lit late at night.


    The servant brewed another pot of new tea and bowed to escape with his breath.


    "Criminal, sir." Wu Yong quickly stepped into the door and bowed his hand to the courtesy. "My subordinates led the yamen runners to Niu Family and searched for a small bag of silver from Niu Family."


    Wu Yong has gained a lot this time.


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


    "Are they all searched from the Niu family?"


    There are forty or fifty taels of silver in the small bag!


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


    Wu Yong nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, Lord Chen, this trip has gained a lot. We also looked around to the neighbors and asked carefully about it. They said that the two sons of the Niu family had been gambling for several years. They ran to the casino if they had some money. The county''s gambling shop was a regular visitor. Later, they had a little money and often went to the capital to gamble."


    "How is the situation in Changle Gambling House investigating?" Chen Buyu asked. "I asked the manager, but I couldn''t remember it very clearly. I just said that the two brothers almost lost back and forth, and they had to lose three or four hundred taels in the past."


    "The two of them sold land if they lost the bet. The original 20 acres of Yongye land in their family were bet on by the two brothers. The two brothers were lazy and could not farm, so the two acres of land were still planted by a neighbor in the village."


    "You can imagine how tight your life is. According to the villagers, the Niu family has always been poor, so it was quite surprising to marry a new wife and hold a banquet at the beginning of the year."


    "After asking around, they all said that their family started to become rich two years ago. The neighbor next door also said that this aunt Niu is quite aggressive and has basically quarreled with every household in the village. The young lady of the scholar-official family is the bride they bought for money."


    "After marrying, Mrs. Niu was very proud. She told everyone that the young lady of the scholar''s family was very beautiful and smart. In the future, she would be able to give her a grandson who was smart enough to get a good fortune for her family, and she would be the first grandson for their Niu family in the future."


    "Then count it, there must be a five hundred taels in front of each other, which can make his brothers squander and gamble. In other words, their family made a fortune two years ago." Chen Buyu whispered, "Can you find out if something special happened two years ago?"


    "The villagers said that nothing special, but they all remembered it very clearly. It seemed that the first eldest daughter-in-law died in their family and became rich."


    "Niu Erji bet more fierce than his elder brother. The neighbors said that their eldest daughter-in-law died not long after, and the two brothers fought hard. At that time, they threatened to split up, but they were eventually suppressed by Mrs. Niu."


    "After that, Niu Erji took his wife to the city to work, and the money he earned was transferred to the gambling house almost every month."


    "Then so, the crux of the problem is likely to lie with his dead ex-daughter-in-law." Lu Qian couldn''t help but speak after hearing it for a while.


    "My subordinates also thought it was very likely. So they asked around the village. The villagers all said that the former wife fled from Jinzhou and married into the Niu family alone. Jinzhou is far away from here, so it is impossible to find out all her information immediately."


    At this point, the guards of the Mu Mansion rushed in and reported, "Criminal, the water from the Liang Mansion is gone."


    Mu Zhao hurriedly stood up, "Can you notify the governor Yu?"


    "I have already informed you that the governor will take the people from the Water Dragon Team to put out the fire."


    Mu Zhao nodded and took the outer cloak on the side, "Let''s go over and take a look."


    Here, Miss Yu is going to be numb.


    I really don’t understand what happened to the governor. Why did the Liang Palace have to send someone to wake her up and take her to watch?


    Yu Linlang was sleepy and had three or five question marks on her head, which was incredible.


    Madam Hu who was slamming the door said, "Is anyone dead again in your house?"


    "Girl, the master said that he might have caught the murderer who pretended to be a demon! Let you hurry to the front of the mansion, the carriage is already parked there."


    The carriage ran wildly on the empty long street, bypassing Yong''anmen Gate and heading straight for Ansheng Street where the Liang Palace was located.


    Hurry up and rushed over, the Water Dragon Team has been there for a long time.


    Yu Linlang just couldn''t figure out what she asked her to do...


    In the midst of the crowds, she got off the carriage and stood in front of the door of Prince Liang''s mansion covered with fire. She turned her head and happened to meet Prince Mu''s eyes with a wide starry sky.
