Di Renjie poured a cup of tea for Li Yuanfang. Li Yuanfang took it and drank it, and then said softly: "My lord, there are two weird things about this. First, according to what the humble post understands, although most of the land in Xiaowangzhuang is in In the hands of the squire, but because Xiaowangzhuang is close to the Gobi, the land itself is not fertile. It makes no sense for the owner of Tang to buy land in this place. Even if the owner of Tang does not choose the good or the bad, the land in the hands of the squire is counted. It’s no more than a thousand taels of silver, judging from the property of Xilin Mountain Villa, because this little money has such a fierce conflict, it doesn’t make sense!"
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Well, this is really suspicious, so what else?"
Li Yuanfang paused and continued: "This second is what the humble servant saw in the squire's house. The humble servant checked the squire's house and felt like they weren't fleeing with the whole family. Your lord, look at these things!"
With that said, Li Yuanfang took out a few pages of yellowed paper from his sleeve and handed it to Di Renjie!
Di Renjie took a look and frowned. After reading them one by one, Di Renjie said, "This is the deed of house and land. The most recent owner is Dong Xinkui!"
Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "This Dong Xinkui is the squire of Xiaowangzhuang, you think, if this Dong Xinkui wants to abscond with his family, why doesn't he take away the certificate of the real estate? A major discovery, this Dong Xinkui suddenly came to Xiaowangzhuang in the first year of Guangzhai. According to the county government’s records, this Dong Xinkui was born in the army and recruited troops from Runzhou Governor’s Mansion. After Runzhou was captured by the rebels, this Dong Xinkui left Run. Zhou, come to Xiaowangzhuang!"
Di Renjie couldn't help but his expression tightened, and he was shocked: "Yuan Fang, although this title deed can be taken away, but the real estate and land are dead, it is possible that Dong Xinkui fled in a hurry, holding these title deeds and waste paper is no different. They had committed a life lawsuit and categorically did not dare to return to Xiaowangzhuang again, so it would be excusable not to take them away. However, the identity of this Dong Xinkui is somewhat suspicious. Back then, the British Gong Li dedicated cavalry rebelled and captured the city of Runzhou. At that time, many military soldiers did escape, but how can a military soldier have such a huge wealth and be able to purchase land in such a short period of time? From another perspective, if he owns this wealth, he is still a soldier. what to do?"
Li Yuanfang nodded, bowed and said, "Well, my lord is reasonable, but the humble servant didn't think of it!"
Di Renjie twisted his beard in thought for a moment,
Then he said: "But your suspicion just now is not unreasonable. According to the steward Tang, the squire named Dong Xinkui escaped with his family overnight after the incident. According to Dong Xinkui's family business, if something happened In a hurry, it is absolutely impossible to dismiss the subordinates in one night and abscond with the family property, unless..."
Li Yuanfang's expression tightened, and he asked quickly: "My lord, unless what?"
Di Renjie contemplated for a moment, and said: "Unless he has prepared well and anticipated that he will abscond in advance, so after the incident, he can abscond with his family as soon as possible!"
Li Yuanfang's face was filled with confusion, and he asked, "My lord, it's impossible, isn't it? This Dong Xinkui is not a god. How could he expect that he would kill someone?"
Di Renjie smiled slightly and said: "We have overlooked a problem!"
Li Yuanfang was taken aback, and asked, "My lord, what's the problem?"
Di Renjie lightly stroked his long beard, pointed to the land deed on the book case, and said: "Yuanfang, have you forgotten what the Tang Zhuangzhu did in Xiaowangzhuang?"
Li Yuanfang suddenly said: "Go buy land!"
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Yes! He is going to buy land, so let's think about it. This Dong Xinkui is a country squire, so good land is his most important property. Why should he sell it? I want to let it be. If he is eager to sell the land in his hand, if it is not in the family, there is only one situation. The whole family will leave Xiaowangzhuang and will not come back again!"
Li Yuanfang suddenly realized that he nodded and said, "Well, my lord, what you said makes sense. The humble servant also learned that Dong Xinkui had forgotten the debts of many villagers in his village and neighboring villages not long ago. This is what makes these villagers grateful. Tight, so it seems that Dong Xinkui has indeed been prepared for a long time!"
Di Renjie twisted the beard and said: "Then the problem now arises, why does Dong Xinkui leave here suddenly? The foundation he has laid down for years of painstaking efforts, he just gave up? There must be a reason for this!"
Many doubts bothered Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang. At the same time, Xiao Ying took the crazy maid back to her room and gave her a decoction, but the maid was struggling and refused to drink it. Xiao Ying paid for it. She was so strong that she drank the medicine. The maidservant soon fell asleep quietly after drinking the medicine, and Xiao Ying finally let out a long sigh of relief!
Seeing that the maidservant was asleep, Xiao Ying walked out of the room and came to the yard to breathe, but saw another maid sneaky
Looking at the courtyard, Xiao Ying took a closer look and found that it was the maidservant Xia Ping who secretly worshipped Xiao Cui in the middle of the night!
A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Ying's mouth, and she deliberately walked in the opposite direction. A few flashes disappeared in the courtyard. The maid, Xia Ping, found that Xiao Ying was missing. She couldn't help but panicked. She turned to leave, and suddenly let out an exclamation. Xiao Ying I don't know when I stood behind her!
"Xiao, Miss Xiao, you..." Xia was undecided in shock and hesitated to speak!
Xiao Ying's face tightened, and she asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Xia Ping couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and whispered softly: "I, I'll come to you!"
"Look for me? What's the matter?" Xiao Ying asked!
Xia Ping looked around and saw that there was no one around, Fuer said, "Miss Xiao, I have something to tell you!"
Xiao Ying couldn't help but look around, pulling Xia Ping and saying, "Follow me, this is not a place to talk!"
With that, Xiao Ying pulled Xia Ping to a secluded place and said, "Let's talk, what do you want to tell me!"
Xia Ping said softly: "Miss Xiao, this Xiaofeng has a problem!"
Xiao Ying was taken aback, and asked, "Who is Xiaofeng?"
Xia Ping replied, "It's the maid in your room? The one who is crazy!"
Xiao Ying couldn't help but her expression tightened, and she quickly asked, "It's her? What's wrong with her?"
Xia Ping paused and said, "That's it. Not long ago, I discovered that this little phoenix secretly hid a golden hairpin. I recognized the golden hairpin. It was something from Xiaocui. Xiaocui showed it to me before. However, she said that she was rewarded by her wife, she cherished it so much. Not long after Xiao Cui died, I saw the golden hairpin at Xiao Feng! I suspect she stole it from Xiao Cui!"
Xiao Ying couldn't help feeling stunned and asked, "What you said is the truth? If I find out that you are maliciously framing, I will definitely hand you over to Elder Ge!
Xia Ping said in panic, "Miss Xiao, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can search for Xiaofeng's room!"
Xiao Ying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll report this to Elder Ge. You should go back first. By the way, have you ever told anyone about this matter?"
Xia Ping shook her head, and Xiao Ying waved her hand and said, "Well, then you go back first. If you find anything, just tell me!"
Xia Ping gave a salute and walked away. Xiao Ying thought for a while and walked quickly towards Di Renjie's room!
