Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Chapter 68: Tang Family Steals, Ma Cuilan Arrested

The establishment of the tofu workshop did not attract much attention, but Tangjia Village's high-profile purchase of soy milk water attracted the attention of interested people.

Once Zuixianju tofu was launched, it quickly became popular and became the object of pursuit by major valve manufacturers. They even gave the tofu a new name: golden paste!

When entertaining distinguished guests, it would be embarrassing to serve the dishes without tofu. The competitive mentality of the rich has successfully made tofu a luxury product that represents face in a short period of time!

In other words, tofu cannot be preserved for as long as tulip bulbs, otherwise the first financial bubble in human history would have occurred prematurely.

The value of tofu makes many people salivate.

The owner of Zuixianju is Zheng Tianming. He has his uncle in Beijing behind him, so no one dares to attack him. Besides, Zuixianju does not have the recipe, so their eyes are on Tangjia Village.

The bean fragrance of tofu cannot be concealed. Tangjia Village has been actively purchasing soy milk. The two must be related. Some people have secretly tried to make tofu with soy milk.

They are bound to be disappointed.

Before tofu appeared, who would have thought of putting brine into bean water?

On the first day of purchasing soy milk, the production capacity of Tangjia Village Tofu Shop doubled. Manager Hong was grinning from ear to ear, as this was all pure silver.

When Tang Hao counted the money, his eyes were full of little stars.

He provided nearly 400 kilograms of bean water, plus the more than 100 kilograms ground by the aunts, reaching the purchase standard of 500 kilograms. At 5 cents per kilogram, he made a full profit of two taels.

The cost....is negligible!

In comparison, the wages offered by the workshop are negligible.

"Excuse me!"

Xiao Yunxi and the children had finished breakfast and were about to go to morning class when Tang Hao excitedly rushed into the yard.

The walls of the courtyard were completely demolished for fortifications. The young and middle-aged men were injured, so the walls have not been restored yet. This makes it convenient to go in and out, which is convenient for Tang Hao!

"The county officials are here! They said a report came from the county school courtyard, and the officials want to search the Tang family!"

Xiao Yunxi just wanted to shout: God help me!

"Let's go, let's go and watch the fun."

Going to class is definitely not as important as falling into trouble.

The Tang family was surrounded in three layers, and some people were cracking melon seeds with the help of crutches. They were really trying hard to eat the melon!

The yamen runner from the county was an acquaintance, Captain Chen, who had fought alongside the villagers.

He was deeply impressed by Xiao Yunxi, so he came over to explain the reason to her, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xiao Yunxi understood immediately:

"The people of Tangjia Village are all law-abiding. We must investigate the suspected theft of other people's property. We will not wrongly accuse good people, nor will we protect bad people."

Chen Putou caught the meaning of her words and thought of the scene where Ma Cuilan and Tang Jia Laowu slid to their knees and surrendered. He looked down on such people, let alone the brave Xiao Yunxi.

"The Tang family is suspected of theft. We are now searching your home. Please cooperate."

Ma Cuilan sat down on the ground.

The money was given to Xiao Yunxi and Hu Yanhong as compensation so that the eldest brother could pass the imperial examination. Now he has no chance of passing the imperial examination and has been accused of stealing.

"No more alive!"

"The officers are bullying people!"

"I'm dead!"

She tried her best to play the victim, but no one paid any attention to her.

The villagers were completely disappointed with Tang Guochen's family.

In the past, Ma Cuilan relied on her relationship with the village head to bully others. Tang Guochen had no talent for reading, but he insisted on reading instead of letting his sons read. The second son beat and scolded his wife, and the fifth son and his wife were cunning.

These are actually minor problems, just like Tang Hao and his wife like to take advantage of others and eat and drink for free.

What the villagers could not tolerate was that Ma Cuilan and Lao Wu knelt down and surrendered. It was a naked betrayal and would never be forgiven.

It must be that the village chief was injured, otherwise they would have proposed to drive these parasites from the Tang family out of the village.

Chen Pu Tou waved his hand and asked someone to lift Ma Cuilan up. The two yamen runners carried Ma Cuilan, their faces red and necks thick, and they were almost crushed to death.

The search went surprisingly smoothly.

"Captain, we found the dean's notes!"

"I found the Dean's landscape painting, with a seal and signature."

"Found the lost tea leaves."

"Lost books found."

All the items on the dean's list were found. Tang Guochen and Tang Huaian were dumbfounded. Where did these things come from? How come they didn't know?

"Who is using the study?"

The fifth brother took a step back immediately, and the third and fourth brothers also stepped back quickly.

The Tang family's study was only used by Tang Guochen and Tang Huaian. Others rarely went in, so the yamen runners took them away.

"Did they really steal it?"

"It's not surprising that the Tang family is evil to the core."

"I never expected this, it's so bad!"

"They should be driven out of the village."

"We have to wait until the village chief recovers from his injury. After all, this is not a trivial matter."

The Tang family held the yamen runners and refused to let them take the people away. The yamen runners drew their swords and they let go. The Tang family was in chaos.

Xiao Yunxi took the opportunity to raid the Tang family again.

Ma Cuilan packed up all the banknotes, jewelry, and land deeds she had collected, turning the Tang family from landlords into poor peasants.

"Today is a good day! Let's have some milk tea!"

The villagers cheered loudly, and surrounded Xiao Yunxi with joy as she left. Tang Hao stroked his chin, squinting his eyes.

"wrong!"

"There's something strange about this!"

How stupid is the Tang family to put the stolen things so blatantly in the study?

It's a bit like someone deliberately framed me.

His small eyes glanced at Xiao Yunxi who was surrounded by villagers, and he felt as if he had found the truth.

The villagers dispersed, and the Tang family looked ashen.

"How to do?"

The sister-in-law was quite calm:

"I'll go back to my dad and ask him to use his connections to see if he can get the man out first."

"Yes, yes, get the person out first."

"It takes some planning to rescue someone,"

Ma Cuilan's mouth twitched.

All the food in the house was stolen and most of the money was lost. Asking her to pay the money again would be more painful than killing her.

"Daughter-in-law,"

"You know the situation at home. I can't come up with the money right now. Please ask my father-in-law to rescue him first. I will give him the money later."

The mother-in-law doesn't want to take the money, and the eldest daughter-in-law has no choice but to save the person.

She packed her bags and rushed back to her parents' home. Ma Cuilan sighed and had to count her money to relieve the pressure in her heart.

just,

Where's the jewelry box?

"what!!"

Screams pierced the sky!

The Tang family was in chaos again. Ma Cuilan rushed to Xiao Yunxi's house with murderous intent, not to cause trouble for her, but to report the case to the lawyer.

The master's current office is in the bamboo shed in front of Xiao Yunxi's house.

She made such a big noise that the villagers came to watch the fun, including Xiao Yunxi.

Ma Cuilan reported the lost money and signed the complaint. After the lawyer stamped it, she smiled and said to him:

"I suggest that she be arrested."

The master looked surprised:

"Why?"

"She said that 1300 taels of silver notes, some jewelry, 10 acres of fertile land, and the deeds to more than ten shops in the county and the prefectural capital were stolen. That should be worth more than 5000 taels, right?"

The master nodded in confusion:

"The shops in the city alone probably have 5000 taels, but what does that have to do with arresting people?"

Xiao Yunxi sneered:

"It's very important. How did Lord Murong rule on the case of embezzlement of family property?"

Xiao Yunxi didn't know how much assets Tang Huaiming had, and there was no way to check. When Murong Chen made the judgment, he divided it into 46 parts: Xiao Yunxi got 6 and the Tang family got 4.

The total compensation that Ma Cuilan gave to Xiao Yunxi was 3500 taels, and the lost money exceeded 5000 taels, which was a concealment of property.

The master's body trembled.

Snapped!

He stood up and glared at me,

"Bold!"

"How dare you conceal your wealth and tease Lord Murong? Arrest him!"

Ma Cuilan was completely dumbfounded. Reporting a case and getting herself involved?

She completely forgot about the fact that she had secretly hidden the money, which was tantamount to self-destruction!

The Tang family was completely panicked.

The backbone of the family has all been arrested, all the money has been stolen, and there is no food left. What should we do?
