In the backyard of the county government office, Mrs. Chen said anxiously: "What should we do? If those people are arrested, they will definitely be traced to you. If it is found out that we were behind the scenes, won't we have to go to jail?"
"What's the point of being anxious now? You've already done it, and can you still regret it? The only way is to find a way to contact that adult and ask him to find a way to get us out." Chen Hu said viciously.
"But, will that adult take care of us?" Mrs. Chen was not optimistic.
"He doesn't care about us, so we can't hide the things he did. I'm dead. If I do something, his glory and wealth will be gone." Chen Hu sneered, "You grind ink for me, and I'll give it to him
Write a letter."
Mrs. Chen went out carrying the basket.
When she passed the Yamen gate, Wang Yamen stopped her and said, "Mrs. Chen, where are you going?"
Mrs. Chen felt guilty. She tightened her hand holding the basket and said with a dry smile: "The boss wants to eat duck neck. I'll buy some for him."
"The doctor said Master Chen needs to rest, and it's best to eat less duck necks, roast duck and the like." Wang Yamen said with an embarrassed look on his face, "How about you tell him to stop being greedy and stop eating these things until he recovers from his injuries.
."
"The boss was seriously injured. He was not in good health to begin with. If he were to stop being greedy, would it be more uncomfortable than killing him?" Mrs. Chen said, "I will buy him two more times. After this pain, it should be better."
That’s better.”
"Okay! Then you go and come back early."
"yes."
After Mrs. Chen left, Wang Yamen ordered the two men next to him: "Follow her quietly and don't alert others. Just report the truth about who she met."
"OK."
An hour later, the two government officials came back.
"Did you watch her enter Jiang Mansion?" Mu Siyu asked.
"Yes." One of the officers named Wang Dasheng said, "But the Jiang Mansion is heavily guarded and the two of us dare not get too close, so we don't know who she met when she went in."
Wen Wensong said: "Madam, it seems that the people who support Chen Hu are from the Jiang Mansion. But the Jiang Mansion is not someone we can offend. Your Excellency is not here, so it will be difficult to investigate."
"Since Mr. Jiang's granddaughter, Miss Shen, got married, we adults haven't been to Jiang Mansion for a long time. Mr. Jiang didn't tell you to come over, and you didn't take the initiative to come forward." Lu Daniu said.
Mu Siyu heard about Shen Shenjun's marriage when she returned to Hubei City. At that time, she thought it was strange that Shen Shenjun should not give up so easily given how much she thought about Lu Yi. Now it seems that something happened.
"We can't move the Jiang Mansion. Now we have to wait for the snake to come out of the hole." Mu Siyu said, "Keep an eye on them first and tell me if there is any movement."
What could happen in Jiang Mansion?
It is nothing more than inciting the working people to cause trouble.
Why do people come to work? It's to offset taxes. If someone gives them a large sum of money, and the money is left over to offset taxes, how many people can resist this temptation?
For several days in a row, people were either injured or making trouble. The progress of the entire project was affected. Looking at those who were not making trouble, they were also implicated, and things started to get out of control.
Mu Siyu looked at the honest and honest man in front of her.
This is a middle-aged man.
He was wearing patched clothes, and his honest and honest face was full of embarrassment and uneasiness. Facing such a noble person as the county magistrate's wife, he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to express his anger.
"You came here specifically to tell me this, aren't you afraid that they will attack you?"
This person came to tell her some inside information.
"I'm afraid, but I thought about it and still want to tell Madam." The middle-aged man said, "Madam has made so many efforts for us poor people. If we are ungrateful again, are we still human?"
"In this case, I will give you a task. If you complete it, I will give you a reward, which is enough to change your family's current life." Mu Siyu said, "Do you dare to take the risk?"
"dare."
"Okay, then you do this..."
A few days later, more than a hundred workers were kicked out of the team. These people either took the initiative to stir up trouble, deliberately bullied their colleagues, or pretended to be injured and sick. After these people left, the entire team became quiet.
As the new chief craftsman, Zhou Chengquan also had his hand in everything this time.
He hesitated, knowing that Chen Hu had a backer. However, Chen Hu was obviously afraid of him. If he did not surrender to the county magistrate's wife at this time, there would be no chance for him to stand up in the future.
"Brother Zhou, it's arranged. These are all evidence of Chen Hu's corruption." A subordinate handed the account book to Zhou Chengquan. "But Brother Zhou, you have to think clearly. There is a big shot behind Chen Hu."
"Do you think I have any other choice now?" Zhou Chengquan said, "The only choice is to take a gamble."
"Okay. I'll bet with you. Anyway, I can't stand what Chen Hu is doing."
When Mu Siyu received the account book, she looked at Zhou Chengquan in front of her.
Zhou Chengquan stood there with his head lowered. The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing. He did not dare to raise his head because he knew that these big shots could decide his life or death with just one sentence. He was used to pleasing Chen Hu, and of course he was also used to looking at his face.
"If you hand over the account book to me, aren't you afraid that I will find out that there is something wrong with you? As far as I know, you and Chen Hu were wearing the same pair of pants before."
"I don't deny it," Zhou Chengquan said, "In fact, part of the embezzled money in the account book was also distributed to me. But my wife values me so much, and I don't want to deceive my wife."
"You did a good job this time, so let's consider the merits to be equal to the faults. What merits you can make next will determine what position you will be in this errand." Mu Siyu said.
After Zhou Chengquan left, Wen Wensong appeared again.
Mu Siyu handed him the account book.
Wen Wensong was originally a scribe. What kind of account books and documents have he not seen?
When I opened the account book and flipped through it, I noticed something was wrong.
"Now it seems that the person behind Chen Hu is the second housekeeper of Jiang Mansion."
"I'll leave this person to you," Mu Siyu said. "He and Chen Hu are just an exchange of interests. I don't believe how deep the love is. Since it's an exchange of interests, it's actually very simple, isn't it?"
"He's just a second housekeeper. Isn't it easy to deal with him?" Wen Wensong said, "If your Excellency is here, I can deal with him with just a few fingers."
"It depends on the owner when beating a dog." Mu Siyu said, "If this second housekeeper is disobedient, he will still be the dog of the Jiang Mansion. Do you think the Jiangge boss will be happy if we interfere in the affairs of the Jiang Mansion? It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a gentleman.
A villain. For a villain like the second housekeeper, it’s not too late to calm him down for the time being and then deal with him later when the opportunity arises."
"That's what the lady said."
This family is a fox, and it is only a matter of time before they get promoted and make a fortune.
Wen Wensong comes from a good family, and his aesthetic appreciation of women still remains the same as what his parents said was "gentle and understanding, knowledgeable and reasonable." Now he has changed his mind.
No amount of gentleness and understanding can compare to sympathy and tacit understanding.
