Chapter 236 Debt Collection

"Didn't there be regulations for handling this kind of thing in previous years?!"

Although Lin Suisui has never personally experienced this kind of thing before, when she was a medical woman, she also participated in many disaster relief clinics with her master.

This kind of relief to the victims seems trivial and cumbersome, but in fact, every place, especially something like Yunshan City that encounters heavy snow almost every year, isn't there an old routine that can be followed and applied?!

"To be honest with you, Madam, it's okay not to mention the relief matters in previous years." The county governor's wife sighed, but she didn't hide anything: "In previous years' relief, the money and cloth collected from various wealthy shops were not mentioned.

"It's a small amount, but what ended up in the hands of the victims was just a few bowls of porridge that was so thin that people could be seen."

As soon as the Sheriff's wife opened her mouth, Lin Suisui understood the reason why she came to ask this time.

It was probably the previous annual relief work, which was a great opportunity for Pei Chaoyue and Ma Deng to make money. They could not let any of it pass through their fingers to the victims, so such a charter would definitely not be used now.

Just mentioning Ma Dengshi...

Lin Suisui suddenly thought of the ill-gotten wealth that Ma Deng still owed her. If she could take it out now, it would be of great use!

And Pei Chaoyue, since he had embezzled so much money to help the victims, how could it be so easy to stay out of it this year!

"Well, this relief for the victims is nothing more than three things. One is to keep them fed and clothed, so that they will not die of cold and hunger in this cold winter; the other is to take care of their bodies to prevent them from contracting typhoid fever.

Suffering from various illnesses; these three are the matters of rebuilding the house.

But no matter what, to accomplish these three things, you need money!

Madam, please follow your previous arrangements for relieving the victims every year. First go to the ladies of each house to let them know, and ask them to do what they can. If you have money, donate some money, and if you have supplies, donate some rice, flour, cloth, medicinal materials, etc.!

As for me, I have to visit our General Zhenbei’s wife, and Mrs. Ma whom I haven’t seen for a long time!”

Lin Suisui looked at the county governor's wife and whispered her arrangement: "When enough money has been raised, we will discuss the next follow-up arrangements such as building a porridge shed."

Hearing what Lin Suisui said, the county guard's wife, who was still worried at first, finally calmed down. She quickly stood up and took the instructions, praised Lin Suisui for her kindness, and then turned and left.

Raised money.

After seeing off the governor's wife, Lin Suisui also got up and went to the front yard to find Lu Ze.

The Ma family has been dealt with, and now Ma Deng is still detained in Ma's house and cannot go out at will. If she wants to go to Ma Deng to get the ill-gotten wealth she agreed to before, she will inevitably ask Lu Ze to come forward to help.

After hearing Lin Suisui's intention, Lu Ze did not delay. He immediately put down the file in his hand and proposed to accompany Lin Suisui.

Lin Suisui originally didn't want to trouble Lu Ze to accompany her on this trip, but when Lu Ze insisted, she didn't shirk anymore. She went back and changed clothes, then boarded the carriage with Lu Ze and escorted her.

Under the protection of the police, the first stop was to Ma's house.

Before Pei Qian took action against the Ma family, the Ma family was considered the leading wealthy family in Yunshan City.

However, now that the entire Ma family has been brought into the Imperial City Yamen by Pei Gan, they are all being tortured there. What is left of this empty big house is now dilapidated and desolate.

After Su Le explained his purpose to the guard at the door and showed his token, the guard didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly ordered someone to open the door of Ma Mansion and ushered Lin Suisui and the others' carriage into the house.

On the day the Ma family members were taken away, Xiu Xiuzhu was also sent back by someone arranged by Lu Ze.

Now, the mother and son were locked up in a small courtyard in the mansion by the Imperial City Yamen guards stationed in Ma Mansion, and were only given necessary food every day. At the beginning, Ma Deng's unwilling curses could still be heard inside, And now...

If it weren't for the maid who went in every day to deliver meals and saw that the disheveled Ma Deng was still alive inside, the guards outside would really have thought that the people inside could no longer bear it and committed suicide.

"If you hand over the ill-gotten gains in your hands, I can still let you and your son go to the Xishan Nunnery for repair according to the promise I made to you before!"

Lin Suisui stood at the door of the courtyard and covered her mouth and nose and did not go in. It was not that she was afraid of anything, but that it was really difficult to find a place to stay in this small courtyard.

Across the yard, she looked at Ma Deng who was sitting on the threshold looking at her. She calmly repeated the promise she had made to Ma Deng before.

"Why can't you be so kind to a woman like me who has nothing? I heard that when you were in the refugee camp, you had an excellent reputation!"

Ma Dengshi raised her head slightly, and her haggard expression finally changed a little. She raised the corners of her lips and gave a smile that was uglier than crying. She raised her finger and pointed to the room behind her: "You gave me such a piece of trash. What's the use of coming back?!

You have already taken away half of my life, are you going to take away my last support as well?!"

"You'd better think about it carefully!" Lin Suisui didn't want to talk nonsense with Ma Dengshi here. She left the courtyard with just one sentence. Looking at the woman who was approaching madness, she continued: "If you If you understand, you can ask the guard to help convey it!

But I’m the one leading the charge with my ugly words. In fact, my husband has already found out everything about the little money you have! If you still want to get away with it at this moment, I’m afraid you’ll be even in this yard. All qualifications for being detained will be taken away!

I will send you to the Imperial City Yamen, where there are probably hundreds of ways for you to tell the truth!"

After meeting Ma Deng, the next place Lin Suisui and Lu Ze had to go was the hardest nut to crack in today's industry.

According to Pei Chaoyue's temperament, if she doesn't just pluck the hair of a goose to get a share of the charity money and goods, it would already be a great mercy. If she wants to take money from her hand, it is really nothing more than a dream!

Two rows of guards stood at the gate of the General's Mansion holding swords. Originally, Lin Suisui thought that entering might delay some time, but she knew there was no need for her to speak. Outside, Su Le had already stepped forward and said something to the guards. She saw that Several guards who were originally fierce and guarded seemed to have changed. While saluting respectfully in their direction, they quickly stepped forward and opened the main door of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, just like they did when they went to Ma's Mansion before. They drove through the gate of Zhenbei General's Mansion in a carriage without any scruples!
