Master Bai's eyes widened in surprise.
Liu said: "I probably know why they came here. The Qianwei Weir broke down, but the Jianwei Weir has to be repaired every year, let alone the first year of Dazhen, the imperial court wanted to overhaul the Jianwei Weir. The appropriation is as high as 800,000 taels, how could it burst this year, and it came so fiercely and fiercely."
Master Bai's hands and feet were cold, and he opened his mouth, wanting to talk about the torrential rain that lasted for more than half a month.
But Mrs. Liu said: "Even if it is a heavy rain, even if there is a real flood, it shouldn't be so serious. You don't know that there are not one in ten people under the weir."
Master Bai's throat was dry, and he asked, "How can Auntie know so clearly?"
how do you know
Of course, I have been sending people to see and listen to it!
For Mr. Liu, who is rich and well-off, this is not difficult.
Master Bai also thought of this, and changed the question, "Is Ziqi for Jianweiyan?"
"Yes, he once wrote in a letter home that the repair of Jianwei Weir was not going well." Mrs. Liu didn't say more details, but it was enough for Mr. Bai.
In other words, Bai Qi died of murder, and it was also related to Qianweiyan.
What else could it have to do with a large water conservancy project
It is nothing more than corruption and bribery, shoddy things like this.
Master Bai was silent for a long time and asked, "Then what does this have to do with Zhou Yin?"
Liu's eyes were deep, "When Qi'er ran for his life, he met a couple who helped him. I have been looking for it. Although Qi'er failed to survive in the end, I have to be grateful to the other party, but I didn't expect them to die too."
In order to hide the secret from the officials, the people of Qili Village naturally gritted their teeth when they asked. Zhou Yin just sold himself as a slave and never came back.
Except for the villagers of Qili Village, only Qian's natal brothers knew about this kind of backcountry, not even Zhou Yin's uncle's family knew about it.
Fortunately, he had only been back for two days, and he was thinking of going back to his hometown for a long-term stay. At that time, he had devoted all his energy to his family and the village, and he hadn't had time to inform his relatives and friends in other villages, so he could keep this matter a secret.
If it wasn't for Mrs. Liu who was asking the question today, Master Bai wouldn't be able to say anything.
Because of this, even the old lady Bai and Mrs. Bai who have been living here don't know about it.
Mrs. Liu wanted to call someone to investigate, but naturally they couldn't find anything.
Master Bai knew that there must be a lot of things Liu didn't tell him, but this matter was too big, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to know.
For knowing too much is obviously also a danger.
Liu said: "Don't tell us about this matter, as long as we know it ourselves."
"Yes, I won't say anything about it from my mother." Master Bai asked, "What does Auntie want to do with those people?"
Liu was silent.
Master Bai had a bad premonition, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, keeping such a person is a disaster, you can't think about keeping it as evidence."
"Then kill people?"
Master Bai's face turned pale.
Liu's complexion is also very ugly.
None of them had killed anyone, nor had they seen anyone killed.
Even though Mrs. Liu has seen a lot of insidious affairs, they never involve human life. Those are three living lives. Even if she knows that they are here for them, she can't do it if she really wants to cut people down.
After being silent for a long time, Master Bai said: "Why don't you break off your hands and feet, make him dumb and find a small villager to let him go?"
Liu: ...
It's not a very good idea.
She lowered her eyes and said after a while, "Say, how about we hand over the person to Mr. Wei?"
Master Bai was taken aback.
Mrs. Liu looked at the teacup in her hand, moved the cup subconsciously, and said softly: "For such a big event as Jianwei Weir bursting, Mr. Wei is not just here to relieve the disaster, is he?"
Master Bai asked, "Does Auntie have any other evidence?"
Mrs. Liu shook her head, "No more. None of the people who followed Qi'er back then are gone. You should have seen Zhou Yin when he was brought back. Didn't you say that they didn't have anything on them?"
"Yes, no."
Liu nodded thoughtfully.
But handing people over to Wei Zhi...
Master Bai gritted his teeth, and said softly: "Auntie, I have to think about this matter."
"I have to think about it, and I have to think about it."
"Grandma, grandma—"
Bai Shanbao's voice came from far to near, Liu looked towards the door, but obviously he was stopped, and a mother's voice came from outside the door, "Young master, the old lady is talking to Master Tang."
"Let him in."
Mammy heard the old lady's voice, and then let her go.
Bai Shanbao ran in, saluted grandma and uncle first, then stepped forward and hugged Liu Shi's arm and said, "Grandma, I'm going to Manbao, her room lost a lot of tiles last night."
"You want to join in the fun?"
"No, you won't let me go to school, so let me go and see her, and her father is injured, and her brothers are also injured. Didn't you say that you want to be good neighbors and help each other? I have to help them ah."
"Okay," Mrs. Liu thought for a while, "there are a lot of injured people in their family, let Daji bring some wound medicine there."
Then he said to the nanny: "You send someone to get some money, forget it, let's use copper coins, and send some to every family that was injured yesterday. Zhou Jin's family suffered the most serious losses, so give them five taels." Silver, other families, two hundred cash for a family."
Not a lot, just enough to see a doctor and take medicine, but it is also a little bit of her heart.
She could feel that these three people came not only to find Zhou Yin, but also to find them, and she felt danger from them.
But there was one thing that she didn't tell anyone, including her daughter-in-law Zheng.
Old Zhou's family is also talking about money.
It's different from Liu's money that can be given out for support in an understatement.
In the old Zhou's house, Mrs. Qian took out the box containing the money first, and took a look at the copper plates inside. Old Zhou knew it was not enough, and of course the others also knew it was not enough.
So Xiaoqian went back to the house and took out the private money.
Seeing this, the second and third bedrooms also took out the private money, and Fang also dragged Zhou Zhoulang back to withdraw the money.
When Friday Lang and Saturday Lang met, they slipped to find Man Bao, "Where's the money we saved?"
If you want to say who is the richest in the family, it must be Friday Lang and Saturday Lang.
Man Bao gave them their money box, and the two were reluctant to part, but they still carried them to the main room.
Man Bao also brought his own money box.
Seeing so much money, especially the savings of the fifth and the sixth, not only the old Zhou Tou, but also Qian could not help but widen his eyes.
Old Zhou looked at it, looked at it again, and finally couldn't help but slap Wu Wulang on the head, "Okay, you have saved so much money, how did you save it?"
You must know that he checks the private money of the two children from time to time, and usually takes money from the two children. He knows that the two children have money in Manbao, but he did not expect so much.
By the way, didn't they sell a lot when they built a new house last year
Wu Wulang scratched his head and shouted: "This is the money for my wife."
