Chapter 55 Treasury Silver
After saying this, Zhuangtou rolled and crawled towards him.
Everyone was shocked. Zhou Ruzhang subconsciously pulled Mrs. Lin backwards. Mrs. Lin didn't react and almost staggered.
"Come here, come here."
Mrs. Lin was about to speak when Zhou Ruzhang shouted in her ear.
Mrs. Lin suddenly felt that after being approached by Miss Zhou, she turned into a rural village woman, decent and completely disregarded.
Such a thing is around her, which makes her feel embarrassed, and she can't stand the same as Zhou Rujun in the past.
Mrs. Lin thought about it and reached out to brush Zhou Ruzhang away. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ruzhang let go of one hand and grabbed the other hand immediately, clenching her tighter.
Zhou Ruzhang said flatteringly: "Madam, don't worry, we will be fine."
Mrs. Lin couldn't break free, and she suddenly became furious and looked at Zhou Ruzhang: "It's not that the sky has fallen, why are you panic? Let go of me."
Zhou Ruzhang felt Mrs. Lin's unhappiness, and his face was full of a confused look. What did she do wrong? Why did Mrs. Lin get angry again? Even Dingning Hou's mother was too difficult to coax.
After getting rid of Zhou Ruzhang, Mrs. Lin looked at the head of the village: "What the hell is going on?"
"There are really dead."
Before the Zhuangtou could speak, Baotong's voice came: "There are not big radishes buried in this field, but people."
After saying that, Baotong looked at Mrs. Zhou San: "Mrs. Zhou San, your family has killed someone."
Mrs. Zhou San's heart trembled. The people around Gu Shazi were indeed having some problems in their minds. The girl's eyes looked pity, as if she was about to be in trouble immediately.
"Go and have a look." Mrs. Zhou San ordered the guards beside her to step forward.
Mrs. Lin looked around and had a bad premonition in her heart. She turned to see Gu Mingzhu. Fortunately, Zhuzhu was not scared, and her big eyes were still looking into the grass, watching the little bird jumping on the ground.
Zhuangtou led the servants of the Cui family to check. Several people worked together to dig the pit, revealing the corpse below. The face of the corpse was covered with blood and soil, but if you look closely at the appearance, you can still recognize a little.
"It's Sun Yong..." The head of the village shouted, "This is Sun Yong."
Mrs. Lin frowned. How could Sun Yong, the son of Mrs. Yu, die here?
"Did you see clearly?" Mrs. Lin couldn't believe it.
The manager at the village also spoke, "It's Sun Yong, Sun Yong was killed."
Mrs. Lin ordered: "Hurry up, let's go and report to the official..." She thought that even if the dead person had nothing to do with their Cui family, she could still remain calm. Now that she knew it was Sun Yong, she felt a chill on her back.
"Sun Yong has something in his hand."
The servants of the Cui family discovered the clue.
Cui Jiazhuang said, "Take it out and take a look."
The servant relied on his courage to pull Sun Yong's fingers away, and the things in Sun Yong's palm immediately came into everyone's eyes.
The surroundings became quiet for a moment. It was an incision of silver, with both sides raised like a ship, with letters on the silver: Taiyuan Futou, twenty-five taels of silver, twelve years of Tianwu.
"This is Kuyin." Cuijiazhuang shouted, and after saying that, he handed the silver ingot to the mother in charge next to Mrs. Lin.
How could Kuyin be in Sun Yong's hands? One news after another made people more and more shocking, but it was like a ball of numb, making people confused. Mrs. Lin decided to walk over and take a look with her. She handed Gu Mingzhu to Baotong and others, and walked step by step towards the dug-out corpse.
Sun Yong's eyes were wide open, his face was ferocious and terrifying, and a piece of his forehead sank, and blood gushed out from there, staining his entire body like a blood gourd.
A large drop of rain could fall from the sky, and it fell "splash" between Sun Yong's eyebrows. Everyone couldn't help but hide behind, as if they were afraid that Sun Yong's body would be "awakened" and jumped up from the ground.
When Mrs. Lin was dodging, she saw Gu Mingzhu beside her. Why did Zhuzhu follow her?
Mrs. Lin immediately covered Zhuzhu's eyes: "Don't look."
Gu Mingzhu snuggled into Mrs. Lin's arms, turned her head and looked at Sun Yong's body and the surrounding situation with her eyes. She saw that the village head approached Sun Yong again, reached into Sun Yong's collar, and then seemed to have discovered the key point, and shouted: "Sun Yong's body is not cold yet, he was just killed."
Gu Mingzhu looked at him coldly. The head of the village was so scared just now, but now she is not afraid of anything and the transformation is too fast.
The head of the village looked at Mrs. Lin: "This soil is newly dug, yes... this is what happened."
Just been killed? Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Zhou San: "When did you arrive? Didn't you notice it? This is the Zhou family's village. If such a big thing happened, you didn't notice it at all?"
"No," said Mrs. Zhou San, "I have been waiting for Mrs. Tai at the gate of the village, and I have also come to the ground with Mrs. Tai."
Mrs. Lin said as she looked around: "You should know when I turned over the ground, right?"
Mrs. Zhou San immediately looked at the manager, and the manager of the Zhou family stammered: "Just... someone was turning the ground here and said it was a tenant in the village. I wanted to say a few more words to them, but they left, and then the lady and wife came."
Zhuangtou couldn't help but say, "Madam, the people who killed Sun Yong may not have gone far. The villages of our two families are so big and so far from Taiyuan City, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
"Will the murderer still kill us?" Zhou Ruzhang's voice trembled.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Zhou Ruzhang with disgust. At the critical moment, she knew that these useless words were useless. Even if there were murderers, it would be nothing. There were still servants in the village. She trusted the Cui family's guard and could definitely protect them.
"Call the guards here," said Mrs. Lin, "Go to search nearby and if the thieves don't leave, capture them immediately."
The manager of the Cui family and the head of the village responded together and went to do the business immediately.
Mrs. Lin took the silver ingot from the manager's mother and looked carefully, then frowned.
"Sister of the clan," Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Lin, "The village is so big, it's not easy to search everywhere. It's better to let the guards come over and guard the place first. I think this matter is not simple, so don't be careless."
Mrs. Lin said and handed over the silver ingot in her hand: "My clan sister takes a closer look at the silver ingot, which says: Taiyuan Fukuo, twenty-five taels of silver, the twelfth year of Tianwu, what did the clan sister think of? It is now the 19th year of Tianwu, and this is the silver from Taiyuan Fukuo seven years ago."
When Mrs. Lin reminded her, Mrs. Lin remembered: "Are you talking about the Kuyin case seven years ago?"
Mrs. Lin nodded: "I'm afraid it's true. My master was rumored to go to Beijing to question the crime. I asked about the news everywhere in Taiyuan Prefecture, so I knew something. The Kuyin lost seven years ago had nowhere to go.
The silver Sun Yong was holding turned black, probably because of the long-term moisture. The land in the farm has just been dug up, and maybe the silver trunk was originally hidden here."
When Mrs. Zhou San heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Madam, you can't make such a conclusion just because you saw a ingot of silver." If this is true, wouldn't the Zhou family be implicated?
Mrs. Lin said: "I just speculate that the government office will investigate the actual situation. The amount of kujin is quite large, and the land that has been dug in front of me is also very large, just enough to match it. Moreover, those who took kujin are extraordinary. We brought not many people, so it is not advisable to chase them now. It is better to let the guards send us to the eldest sister's farm first. The Cui family's manpower and guards are always more familiar with their own farm, so that we can protect them better, so that we can be safe."
Gu Mingzhu held her mother's slightly chilling hand. She seemed weak on weekdays, but she knew very well what to do at critical moments.
However, Mrs. Lin will definitely listen to her mother. Mrs. Lin has such a temperament and does not allow anyone to overshadow her in front of her.
If someone talked about her two years ago and turned against her meaning, she would definitely object.
"Don't be so trembling," said Mrs. Lin. "Those people probably have escaped long ago. Even if they haven't escaped, the guard can still be taken. Many of these guards have followed Brother Zhen and Brother Wei to the battlefield and are more than enough to deal with the bandits." After taking down the bandits, it was her credit. Let's see how the Wei family's boss came to find her bad luck.
As I spoke, it was raining heavily.
"The lady is right," said Mrs. Zhou San, "We should go to the house to hide from the rain first. The autumn rain will cause coldness and wet clothes and will hurt our bodies."
After saying that, Mrs. Lin walked forward first with her.
Baotong looked at the Gu family guard: "You must follow your wife and lady without leaving any steps."
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sigh. If she had known this would happen, she would not have taken Zhuzhu out, hoping that what she was worried about would not happen.
Gu Mingzhu took advantage of Mrs. Lin's inattention and took out two bamboo tubes from the pouch on her waist and tied them into her sleeves. After doing this, she looked around, looking for an inconspicuous place but could hide.
"Come on Zhuzhu." Mrs. Lin shouted, and Gu Mingzhu walked over quickly.
Everyone entered the room. Mrs. Zhou San ordered the servants to pour tea. Before they could drink the tea, they heard the rushing footsteps outside, and then the manager of the Cui family came in to report.
