Chapter 030 Tell the story
Yuqing asked with interest: "How did the county magistrate ask Lin Youwen for money?"
Hanshan said: "The county magistrate said that he had settled the master, should Master Lin give him the remaining remuneration?
Mr. Lin said that the county magistrate had not driven away the master's mother and daughter from Nanping County, so the matter could not be considered completely settled.
As long as the master and his daughter are in Nanping County, the wife's dowry cannot be beaten by a stolen gong and cannot be used at all.
The county magistrate asked him to rest assured and said that if he didn't need to say anything, he would force his master and his daughter out of Nanping County, otherwise he would not be able to spend the stolen silver that he had distributed from Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin asked again, what if the owner's family refused to leave Nanping County if he died?
The county magistrate said sinisterly that since the owner's family is really so ungrateful, then there will be an accident."
When Yuqing heard this, she felt angry.
This group of people is too vicious. They embezzled the property of their mother and daughter and wanted to drive them away. If they don’t leave, they will kill them!
Hanshan continued: "Mr. Lin then agreed to get the remaining remuneration and then went to the inner study room.
The slave heard two strange noises in the inner study room. After a moment, he saw Mr. Lin returning to the outer study room with a bag of silver.
He told the county magistrate that he had paid all the remaining 300 taels of silver.
The county magistrate sneered and said that in order to help him settle the master, his master and the two yamen runners were all criminally responsible. Shouldn't he give some medical expenses as condolences?
Mr. Lin was silent for a while before saying that each person would give him ten taels of silver to condolences.
The county magistrate refused and asked him to give him a total of 100 taels of silver, so the two of them started arguing.
At this time, Aunt Rong sneaked out of the room, avoided everyone, and secretly came to the inner study.
I heard two intervals of sounds from Mr. Lin when he went in just now.
Then, Aunt Rong carried the big bag that the slave had taken back on her back, and did not return to her residence, and went directly to the small gate and secretly left the mansion.
Seeing that she was carrying that big bag, she was very struggling to move, and guessed whether it would be money inside.
The reason why the slave guessed so was that it was because Mr. Lin had just taken out the silver from it, so the inner study room was likely to be where Mr. Lin hid the silver money.
Secondly, when Mr. Lin went to meet the county magistrate, he once told Aunt Rong viciously that he would continue to beat her when he came back and would continue to beat her to death.
How could Aunt Rong not believe it and run away with the money?
Otherwise, it would be evening, and she would sneak out of the house?
The slave then came down from the roof, quietly left the Lin Mansion, took off his clothes and covered his face, and caught up with Aunt Rong.
A sneak attack on her from behind, knocked her out, snatched her bag, and hid in the corner and saw that it was indeed either gold, silver, copper coins or expensive faces and silver notes.
The slave did not dare to take the bag back to the government office, for fear of being seen and asked, so he had to gamble, hide the bag in a dry well, and then go back to the government office to sleep.
When everyone fell asleep, the slave sneaked out again, took out the bag from the dry well, and then came to find the owner to see how to deal with the bag."
How to deal with it? Of course it is impossible to send it back!
When Hanshan was speaking just now, Yuqing had already counted the gold and silver heads in the bag.
These heads and faces not only included He's dowry, but also the red gold heads and faces of Aunt Rong and his women.
Yuqing thought to himself, no wonder Mrs. Lin dared to use some silver to make her head and face to mess with her mother and daughter. It turned out that she hid all the red gold heads and faces.
Even if the county magistrate sends people to search, it may not be possible to search. Of course, the old guy is confident.
There are thirty gold ingots in the bag, each with two taels, a total of sixty taels.
He's parents married her two thousand taels of silver at that time. In this dynasty, the exchange of gold and silver was thirty taels of silver for one tael of gold.
So these sixty taels of gold ingots can almost match the two thousand taels of silver that He did dowry.
As for the more than 200 taels of silver and more than a dozen coins in the bag, as well as the total denomination plus the silver notes with 3,000 taels of silver in the bag, all of them are from Lin Youwen.
Yuqing was so angry that she sneered in her heart.
On that day, in the court, the county magistrate asked Lin Youwen to repay He's dowry. Lin Youwen delayed it in every way, saying that he was not good at doing business.
I haven't made much money and I can't repay it in a day and a half.
But in fact, he is quite capable of making money, and he actually has a deposit of 3,000 taels of silver.
In ancient times, silver notes were actually not circulated, but money shops that could save money could be exchanged for silver.
So the silver bill is equivalent to the passbook of Yuqing's real society.
Lin Youwen wanted to rack her brains to delay time that day and wanted to embezzle He's dowry.
Now He's dowry and Lin Youwen's family are all accidentally obtained by Han Shan and handed over to her.
Not only did Lin Youwen lose everything, but he also scored a lot of money to the county magistrate and Wang Dalong, and he was beaten to the board. This deal was a loss to the end.
Yuqing thought for a moment and took out all the silver notes.
Then we put the bag together and handed it to Hanshan: "You will immediately send the bag to the house I rented to hide it. We will leave the government office and move to that house tomorrow."
The reason why Yuqing chose the house to hide these gold, silver and treasures was because the house had been empty for a long time.
Even if there are thieves, they have already visited them. It is safest to hide these gold, silver and treasures there.
Hanshan was about to leave with a bag when Yuqing suddenly thought of a poisonous plan that caused Lin Youwen and the county magistrate to turn against each other and bite each other.
No matter who wins or loses, she is a winner.
She took out a hanging of copper coins from the bag and untied it, grabbed a handful of it for Hanshan, and handed over all the silver notes to him.
After explaining this, I took several big handkerchiefs and handed them to Hanshan.
Although the rented house has been empty for a long time, the possibility of thieves patronizing it is very small.
But Yu Qing thought about it and thought, not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of it. What if a thief with a brain sucked thief ran in to see what could be stolen, but eventually found this big bag of gold, silver and treasures?
Then wouldn’t she be the master and servant make wedding dresses for others?
So for safety reasons, Yuqing asked Hanshan to go to the rented house, and used a few big handkerchiefs to pack the gold, silver and jewelry separately, and then hid them separately.
Even if you are unlucky and are secretly given by a thief, there are other copies, and the losses will not be so heavy.
This trick is to not put all the eggs in a basket.
Hanshan remembered all Yuqing's words in his heart. Before leaving, he couldn't help asking: "Master, Mr. Lin and the County Magistrate have murdered us. Should we run away?"
Yuqing said confidently: "You must run if you run, but you can't run so impatiently.
When they force us to leave, they will run away naturally, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion."
