The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman
Chapter 391: House Raid
The meeting ended just like that. Su He ignored these people and left after taking the little red horse given to her by Shi Yong.
"I'm sure she's a relative. She's so arrogant. Does that mean she won't come if Master Chen isn't around?"
Han Song turned to look at Xiao Wei, "Why are you still in the station, Xiao Wei, you can't do it."
Xiao Wei gave Han Song a spinning kick and the two started fighting.
Not only did the people around not stop it, they also cheered.
Su He rode all the way home and saw that it took her 20 minutes. Well, she could control it within 16 minutes later, so she could sleep longer.
In the next few days, she followed Su's house to work. Everyone cleaned up the kitchen first, and then had three meals a day at Su's house. After dinner, they returned to the backyard of the shop.
After five days of cleaning, the Su residence was finally habitable.
Su He and his friends started moving things again, and it took them five trips to finish.
The new house was large, so Su He bought eight lounge chairs and picked a sunny day to clean them by the well. He stayed in the sun for a whole day, and at night, he lay leisurely in the front yard and daydreamed.
Miaomiao and Tiantian are also there.
"Tiantian, I've finished reading all the storybooks. They're so boring. They're all the same. Why do they all end with the woman getting married, raising children, and being a competent housewife?"
"It's possible that books like this sell better. That's why everyone writes like this."
Tiantian thought for a while and replied.
"Generally, men write storybooks. That's what they think. This is how a woman's life should be."
Miao Miao snorted coldly, "Sister, I heard that there are women serving as officials in the capital. Is that true? Aren't there women writing storybooks?"
Su He looked at her with a smile, "Yes, you can write a book. You have nothing to do anyway."
Miaomiao was stunned at first, and then she actually thought this suggestion was very good.
"Sister, can I sell it if I write it?"
"Just write first. You don't rely on this to make a living anyway, so why should you feel pressured? Write what you want to write and show it to me when you're done. If possible, I'll help you sell it in the bookstore."
Miaomiao sat up straight at once and looked at Su He.
"Sister, I want to go to the bookstore tomorrow and write when I come back."
"Okay, go ahead and let Xiaobai accompany you."
"Tiantian, let's go together and buy two more candy figures."
Miaomiao made an invitation with a smile.
Tiantian nodded, "Miaomiao, I'll treat you."
"Hey, okay, let's go to the nearby market after we finish shopping. I'll treat you to some fruit."
The two people leaned close to each other and whispered, looking at Su He as they talked, but Su He pretended not to see anything.
"Mrs. Liu, I want to drink milk tea."
Su He shouted into the house, and Liu Niang responded with a smile and brought over a cup.
"I also want to drink."
Miaomiao looked at Liu Niang eagerly.
"Go to the kitchen and pour it yourself. Young man, move more."
Su He said something and then told Liu Niang what dishes she wanted to eat tomorrow.
Miaomiao was not angry. She called Tiantian and they ran to the kitchen together with a smile. Each of them was given a cup of milk tea and a plate of eight-treasure cake given by Liu Bai.
"Sister, this is delicious."
Su He took a piece and complained to Liu Niang.
"It's more comfortable to stay in the south. This capital city is not lively at all."
"You've been staying at home all the time, so of course you won't see anyone. The imperial examination will be held in half a month. Next month will be the busiest time in the entire capital."
Su He's eyes lit up, she had completely forgotten about this.
"Is there a parade of top scholars, Liu Niang? I want to go and see it."
"In May, I have already reserved a seat, and we have to get up very early that day."
Liu Niang also sat on the chair to rest, and Su He gave her half of the Eight Treasures Cake.
"You need to reserve a table so early? Is it far from our house?"
"It's not far. We can just walk there that day."
Miaomiao asked with a smile, "I heard from my brother that Tanhua is the most handsome. Sister, let's go and see if it's true. I think he is definitely not as handsome as Xiaobai."
Su He laughed, "You are the only one who knows how to flatter."
After a while, Liu Bai brought out a plate of sliced apples and gave it directly to Miaomiao, not even giving Su He a portion.
It seems that this flattery was well-directed.
The night was peaceful, and the next day everyone got up early to go to the bookstore. Su He planned to accompany her sister to pick out storybooks and show her her fame, but she was called away by Xiao Wei just as she walked out the door.
"Lotus, it's time to work. Lord Wang wants you to help."
Su He curled her lips and could only change her clothes, ride a horse and follow Xiao Wei.
The two went directly to their destination, a courtyard house with three entrances.
This is the home of Jin Zhonghao, a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. Jin Zhonghao is in charge of the taxes on tea and fisheries in the Ministry of Revenue. After a secret investigation, the embroidered clothes officials discovered that this man had colluded with merchants and secretly accepted many benefits. So they decided to launch a surprise attack and go in to search.
Of course the more people the better when searching a house, so Lord Wang directly called Su He over as well.
The officers and soldiers called by the Embroidered Uniform Officials guarded all the doors, and all the people in the Jin Mansion were driven to the hall, and the search was handled by the Embroidered Uniform Officials themselves.
Su He and Xiao Wei arrived late, so they could only watch people in the hall.
Xiao Wei was a little unconvinced and told Su He secretly.
"If our boss were here, we would definitely be the ones searching here."
Su He nodded in approval, "Will there be any benefit from searching for something?"
"Yes, we always estimate the amount in advance when we search. If we find more than expected, we can share the extra money. One time, each of us got 200 taels. Xiao Shen found a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and the boss gave him 800 taels."
Xiao Wei got very excited when he thought of the scene at that time. At this moment, two people were standing in the corner of the hall, slacking off, and the Jin family was right opposite them.
After a while, Xiao Wei wanted to go to the bathroom, and finally Su He was left alone in the hall.
She sat in the hall openly staring at the Jin family, who were all squatting on the ground crying in embarrassment.
Two of them were staring blankly ahead, seemingly having given up struggling.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Wei came over with a gloating look on his face.
"They found thousands of pieces of silver, but no gold or silver."
Su He was a little surprised, "Is that a mistake?"
"Impossible. Without solid evidence, Lord Hong would not do it."
Xiao Wei said this with great certainty.
That's because it was hidden so well that no one knew about it.
Su He looked at the family thoughtfully.
After a while, Lord Hong came over to interrogate him personally, "If you voluntarily hand over the embezzled money now, your two five-year-old children can be spared."
The two five-year-olds were born to the concubine. Su He saw two young ladies begging an older woman.
"Madam, please, we can't escape. Pei'er and Rong'er are innocent. Please save them."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jin had no expression on her face and just said one sentence.
"Our master did not embezzle."
Su He frowned and asked, "Where's Jin Zhonghao?"
"He escaped. I don't know where he got the news from. He left the yamen as normal yesterday. We saw him return home with our own eyes."
Xiao Wei felt a little regretful. If he could catch the person, he could always pry his mouth open. But now he was in a passive position, as these women were completely unaware of the situation.
Su He quietly watched as Lord Hong left angrily after hearing the news to no avail.
"What will happen to these women?"
"If Jin Zhonghao can't be found, he will stay in the dungeon. When Jin Zhonghao is found, if the concubines have families willing to redeem them, they can be redeemed at a high price. But Madam Jin and the others can't leave, they will surely die."
"Our emperor hates corrupt officials the most. I heard Lord Hong hold a meeting this morning and he said that if you are too greedy, death is a matter of time."
Su He watched the two concubines plead in vain and cried in despair while holding their children.
"I'll go try it."
Su He said this and walked over.
