Chapter 143, Theft (1 more)

  The three children were very surprised when they learned that they suddenly had an older brother.

  But I couldn't help being happy.

   After all, after having a brother, someone will protect him.

   "Brother."

   "Brother."

"elder brother."

  Han Chi blushed a little after being shouted, and responded with a loud voice, "Hey."

  The three sisters went to prepare gifts for Han Chi.

  Grandparents, as grandparents and grandparents, also gave a meeting gift.

  Han Chi was a little dizzy.

  But he also knows that, by calling mother and sister, he has a family and responsibility since then.

  Can't be a **** anymore.

  When Butler Feng came, Han Qiao was still paying the bill with the clothing store.

  For twenty-five children, each person needs two sets of clothes, as well as shoes and socks, and several more sets of obscene clothes and trousers.

   Hu Steward and Hu Jiancheng were silently calculating.

  Butler Hu didn't have much money in his hand, and Han Qiao wouldn't hand over the money to Butler Hu, so he paid the banknote himself, and asked Hu Jiancheng to take someone along to bring back the change.

  She met Butler Feng in the lobby.

   They are all housekeepers. With Steward Feng's demeanor, people can be convinced that he is a master outside.

   "Mrs. Heng, this is something that Mr. Heng entrusted the villain to give you."

  A brocade box was locked.

   Steward Feng handed over the key.

  Han Qiao was surprised.

   After receiving it, I hesitated to open it and have a look.

   "In addition, I heard a report from a servant that Lord Heng had hunted three badgers. The mansion is busy at the end of the year, so I have time to come here. Please forgive me."

  Han Qiao understood from Butler Feng's tone of voice and attitude that patriarch Heng wanted to embark on an official career again, and his official position was not low.

   "No problem, the three badgers are still being raised. They don't eat or drink now, and hibernate every day."

  Han Qiao paused as she spoke, "I'm curious about how Mr. Feng plans to clean up these three badgers when they sell them?"

   "Madam, do you have a good idea?"

"This badger meat is not only edible, I think the fur is also very beautiful to make a small jacket. Their hair may also be very good to make brushes and brushes. I heard that after badger oil is refined into badger oil , the effect is particularly good on scalds and burns.”

  Feng Butler was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

   "The villain will go back and report to the master. Make some according to the wife's instructions and try it. If the effect is good, I will give some to the wife."

"it is good."

  The Feng family gave one hundred taels of three badgers, a total of three hundred taels of silver.

  Han Qiao doesn't know the outside price, but she thinks it must be high.

   Just like the deer and tigers last time.

   You need to know in terms of the current market price and per capita income.

   One hundred taels is equivalent to a fast four-year salary.

  Of course they will have other income, but the difference is still quite big.

  Han Qiao politely sent Steward Feng away.

  Go back to the main courtyard with three hundred taels of silver.

  Recently spent, bought things, bought people, plus this time today, I used almost a hundred taels.

   There are still 900 taels left from the 1,000 taels that Heng Yi took back last time, and she doesn't plan to move the 300 taels.

  Han Qiao opened the brocade box brought by Heng Congshan's trustee.

   There are five thousand taels of silver bills, a piece of fine jadeite rough, and a small bag of golden melon seeds.

   "..."

   These things are worth a lot of money.

  It seems that Heng Congshan is going smoothly than she imagined.

  Hu Jiancheng and Dong Lai came back with broken silver, and Han Qiao gave another one hundred taels of silver note for them to exchange.

   "Exchange more copper coins, one hundred cash."

"Yes."

  The two immediately went out to do errands again.

  In the yamen, the people took care of it, saying that the family's money had been stolen.

  Heng Yi was also sent to handle errands.

  When he arrived at this house, Heng Yi stood at the door. He was inexperienced in this kind of thing, so he basically didn't speak. He looked at Wen Yu and Gu Jiu and asked.

  The family reported to the officials that they had lost three taels of silver, and the man in charge looked to be in his thirties or forties, with red eyes. His daughter-in-law's eyes were swollen from crying.

  A beautiful girl stood beside her and comforted her constantly.

  Wen Yu and Gu Jiu looked at the little girl, their eyes lit up.

  Looking at Heng Yi who was standing aside, he had a cold face, as if he hadn't seen the girl.

   His eyes looked around.

   "There are footprints on the wall." Heng Yi said.

  Wen Yu and Gu Jiu went up to look immediately, and there were indeed footprints on the wall.

   It shows that the person came over the wall and left, so he left a toe on the wall.

   "Go to the next door and have a look." Wen Yu said.

  Take Heng Yi to knock on the courtyard door next door.

  The woman who opened the door panicked when she saw the official, "Excuse me, may I ask..."

   "Official errands, what about your man?" Wen Yu said.

   "Go, go out." The woman was very nervous and stumbled when she spoke.

  Wen Yu looked around after entering the house, but found no footprints on the courtyard wall here.

  Heng Yi also went forward, and he found that the moss had been worn away on the courtyard wall.

   Point to Wen Yu.

   "..." Wen Yu instantly understood.

   Soon found the ladder, and there was still moss on the ladder.

   "How do you explain this?" Wen Yu asked the woman.

  The woman shook her head, tears streaming down her face, "I don't know, I don't know."

  A child ran out of the room, with gauze wrapped on his forehead.

   "Mother."

"son."

  Mother and child embrace each other, the woman is trembling, and the child's eyes are full of fear.

   Both Heng Yi and Wen Yu realized that the man who stole the money must be the man from this family. As for why the money was stolen, the injured child can be seen.

  Both have sympathy, but legal principles cannot tolerate it.

  So they waited, and when the man named Daqiang came back, they arrested him and took him to the Yamen.

   Interrogating these is not their business.

   Soon the man named Daqiang confessed truthfully.

  The family is poor, and the child broke his head. After asking the doctor to look at it, it costs money to get the medicine. I have borrowed from relatives and friends, but no one is willing to borrow it.

   Fortunately, I was lucky, and within a quarter of an hour after entering the main house, I stole silver.

   This can be regarded as conclusive evidence, and he cannot deny it.

  Now there is only one way in front of him, pay back the money, beat the board, and let him out.

  When these things reached Heng Yi's ears, he was packing his things and going home.

   "..."

  He was silent for a moment and didn't speak.

  Wen Yu and he were going to walk together for a while, Wen Yu said on the way, "It's really hard to live these days."

   “It’s harder to live without money.”

   "..." Heng Yi looked at Wen Yu.

   "You don't understand how hard it is for us little people." Wen Yu patted Heng Yi on the shoulder.

  Heng Yi really didn't understand.

  Before he exchanged affection with Han Qiao, he had never lived a day as a normal person.

  Not when I was a child, but when I grow up, I’m a bit more capable. He’s completely dazed, and he’s in a daze every day. When he sets out to hunt in the morning, he either buys steamed stuffed buns, or what Heng’s cooks to eat? But most of the time, they actually buy buns outside.

  He didn't even think about eating a bowl of noodles in the morning, eating wontons, or cooking side dishes in a tavern.

   It was an accident to meet He Hong, and it was also an accident to help him. He didn't actually listen to He Hong's words.

   Until I met Han Qiao.

   That day she looked at him in the carriage and laughed.

  He just had a thought, thinking of getting someone, and let her live a good life after getting it.

  His change also started from Han Qiao's smile...
