69 Dialogue between father and daughter
Looking at his father's anxious and confused expression, Shi Jinrou stopped asking any questions and said concisely:
"The account book was stolen by Ding Bo. Maybe he did it on purpose, because I only asked him to help me find the dowry list of my mother and grandmother, and did not ask him to steal salt and close the account book."
Ishihara Hai was about to interrupt, but Shi Jinrou continued, "It's just that the salt bill is indeed very important, which records every bribe that the prefect Bai Decai received from the Dong Mansion. He remembers every piece of bribe that he wrote very clearly, and even the time and place were written very clearly."
Ishihara Hai frowned. No wonder Mr. Dong was anxious. If such a thing was seen by the people above, Bai Decai and the Dong family might suffer.
In fact, as a scholar who only reads the books of sages, Ishihara Hai was a little simpler. What he guessed was just that on the surface. If the Dong family lost salt rays, that would be the most deadly! Apart from Bai Decai, the Dong family had almost no greater backing in the government. If Bai Decai fell, the Feng family would definitely take the opportunity to take away the "salt rays". At that time, the Dong family would not only decline, but it would cause the Feng family to be damaged and the family would be destroyed!
But no matter how simple the mind was, he seemed to have understood the subsequent development after hearing this - Xiaorou must have taken the account book to threaten the eldest wife. Thinking of this, he asked urgently:
"Where is the account book now?"
"In Ding Bo's hands."
Ishihara Hai was quite surprised and said "ah" lightly, and soon nodded with praise and continued to ask:
"What's going on with the 'Disciples from the Capital'?"
So Shi Jinrou briefly talked about the process of "a foreign man visiting" yesterday afternoon to Ishihara Hai, and focused on mentioning "Mr. Liu".
After Shi Jinrou finished speaking, he said, "In the words of Master Dong just now, he was obviously afraid that the account book would fall into Lord Liu. In fact, it was Xiaorou who accidentally hit him in the vital position. I didn't really want to expose the account book, nor did I want to hand it over to the government. Xiaorou just wanted to get back what belonged to her and prepare some money for us to go to Beijing."
Ishihara Hai smiled bitterly with a little disappointed feeling. He was a six-foot man, but in the end he wanted his weak daughter to take care of him. He was really ashamed and ashamed of his deceased wife Dong Yun.
While feeling moved, Ishihara Hashi had to admire his daughter's meticulous mind. At such a young age, she had such intelligence and courage. She was good at guiding her, and she would definitely achieve great things in the future!
But at the moment, Ishihara Hai is even more worried about his daughter's safety. Today, seeing Master Dong's angry look, let alone Shi Jinrou is a child, even he is a little scared.
