Liu said, "I probably know why they came. The Jianwei Weir has burst, but the Jianwei Weir needs to be repaired every year, let alone the first year of Dazhen. The imperial court wants to overhaul the Jianwei Weir. This funding is all it takes."
It’s as high as 800,000 taels. How could the embankment burst this year and come so violently?”
Mr. Bai's hands and feet were cold and he opened his mouth to talk about the heavy rain that lasted for more than half a month.
Ms. Liu said, "Even if it rains heavily, even if there is a flood, it shouldn't be so serious. You don't know that not even one out of ten people live under Jianwei Weir."
Mr. Bai's throat was dry and he asked, "How could Auntie know so clearly?"
How to know?
Of course I have been sending people to see and listen to it!
For Mr. Liu, who is rich and well-connected, this is not difficult.
Mr. Bai also thought of this and changed the question, "Is Zi Qi doing it for Jianwei Yan?"
"Yes, he once wrote in a letter at home that the repair of Jianwei Weir was not going well." Mr. Liu did not say more details, but this was enough for Mr. Bai.
In other words, Bai Qi died of murder, and it was also related to Jianweiyan.
It has something to do with a large water conservancy project, what else could it have to do with it?
It's nothing more than corruption, bribery, and shoddy stuff.
Master Bai was silent for a long time and asked, "Then what does this have to do with Zhou Yin?"
Liu's eyes were deep, "Qi'er met a couple who helped him when he was running for his life. I have been looking for them. Although Qi'er didn't survive in the end, I always wanted to be grateful to the other party, but I didn't expect that they also died."
In order to hide the official errands, the people of Qili Village naturally gritted their teeth when anyone asked. Zhou Yin sold himself into slavery and never came back.
In such a poor and remote country, except for the villagers of Qili Village, only Qian's natal brothers knew about it, and not even Zhou Yin's uncle's family knew about it.
Fortunately, he had only been back for two days at that time, and he was thinking about returning to his hometown for a long time. At that time, all his energy was spent at home and in the village, and he had not had time to notify relatives and friends in other villages, so he could hide the matter.
If it hadn't been Mr. Liu who asked the question today, Mr. Bai wouldn't have been able to tell.
Because of this, even Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai who have been living here don’t know about it.
Mrs. Liu wanted to call people to inquire, but naturally nothing could be found.
Mr. Bai knew that Mrs. Liu must have a lot of things that she had not told him, but the matter was so big that he was not sure whether he wanted to know.
Because knowing too much is obviously a danger.
Mrs. Liu said, "Don't tell anyone about this. We can just know it ourselves."
"Yes, I won't tell my mother." Mr. Bai asked, "How does Auntie want to deal with those people?"
Liu was silent.
Mr. Bai had some bad premonitions and said quickly, "Aunt, keeping such a person will be a disaster. You can't even think of staying as evidence."
"Then kill people?"
Mr. Bai's face turned pale.
Liu's face also looked very ugly.
None of them had killed anyone, nor had they seen anyone killed.
Even though Ms. Liu had seen a lot of secrets, she never involved human life. Those were three living lives. Even if she knew they were here for them, she couldn't kill the person with a single click.
After being silent for a long time, Mr. Bai said, "How about breaking off the hands and feet, poisoning the person to mute and then finding a small village to let him go?"
Mr. Liu......
This idea is really not much better.
She lowered her eyes and said after a while, "What do you think, do we hand the person over to Mr. Wei?"
Master Bai was stunned.
Mrs. Liu looked at the tea cup in her hand, moved the cup unconsciously, and said softly, "It's such a big thing that the Qianwei Weir bursts, Mr. Wei isn't just here to provide disaster relief, is he?"
Mr. Bai asked, "Does Auntie have any other evidence in her hand?"
Ms. Liu shook her head, "No more. None of the people who followed Qi'er back then are gone. You should have seen Zhou Yin when he was carried back. Didn't you say there was nothing on them?"
"Yes, no."
Ms. Liu nodded thoughtfully.
/>But handing the person over to Wei Zhi...
Master Bai gritted his teeth and said softly, "Auntie, I have to think about this matter."
"You have to think about it, and I have to think about it too."
"Grandma, grandma——"
Bai Shanbao's voice came from far away. Mrs. Liu looked towards the door, but apparently she was stopped. A grandmother's voice came from outside the door, "Young Master, the old lady is talking to the hall master."
"Let him in."
The grandma heard the old lady's voice and let her go.
Bai Shanbao ran in, saluted his grandmother and uncle first, then stepped forward and hugged Mr. Liu's arm and said, "Grandma, I want to go to Manbao. A lot of tiles fell in her room last night."
"You want to join in the fun, right?"
"No, you won't let me go to school, so let me go and see her. Besides, her father is injured, and her brothers are also injured. Didn't you say we need to be neighbors and help each other? I have to go and help them.
ah."
"Okay," Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "There are many injured people in their family, so let Daji bring some medicine."
Then he said to grandma, "Send someone to get some silver. Forget it, let's use copper coins. Send some to every family who was injured yesterday. Zhou Jin's family suffered the most serious losses, so give them five taels of silver."
Well, other families, two hundred coins per family."
It's not a lot, just enough for medical treatment and medicine, but it's still a little bit of her thoughts.
She could feel that the three people who came here were not only looking for Zhou Yin, but also looking for them. She sensed danger from them.
But there was one thing that she told no one, including her daughter-in-law Zheng.
The old Zhou family is also talking about money.
It is different from Liu who can give out the money to support easily.
In the old Zhou family, it was Qian who took out the box containing the money first and took a look at the copper plates inside. Old Zhou knew it was not enough, and of course the others also knew it was not enough.
So Xiao Qian went back to the house and took out his personal money.
Seeing this, the second and third bedrooms also took out their private money. Fang also took Zhou Lang back to withdraw the money.
When Friday Lang and Saturday Lang met, they sneaked away to find Man Bao, "Where is the money we saved?"
If we want to say who is the richest in the family, it must be Wulang and Saturdaylang.
Man Bao gave them their money box, and they were reluctant to part with it, but they still carried it to the main room.
Man Bao also brought his own money box.
After gathering a small amount of money, seeing so much money, especially the savings of Lao Wu and Lao Liu, not only Lao Zhoutou but also Mr. Qian couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Lao Zhou looked at it, looked at it again, and finally couldn't help but slap Wu Lang on the head, "Okay, you saved so much money, how did you save it?"
You should know that he checked the private money of the two children from time to time, and usually took money from the two children. He knew that the two children had money in Manbao, but he did not expect that there was so much money.
By the way, didn’t they pay a lot when they built a new house last year?
Wu Lang touched his head and shouted, "This is the money I paid to marry my wife."
