Chapter 9 Pick up a kitchen knife and hit yourself in the foot

When he was about to go up the mountain, Zhen Dafu suddenly had a headache. The pain was so severe that he almost rolled on the ground. Some people said they wanted to call a doctor, but Lin quickly stopped him: "No, no, he has an old problem. He needs to take turns with hot and cold water."

Just apply it, drink some ginger tea, and have a rest. But we can't send my sister up the mountain. Also, I have to leave Cuizhu to help me, because all we bring are men."

Someone in the crowd snorted coldly: "It turns out that I don't want to work hard to go up the mountain. I just go back home. Do I need to pretend to be sick?" The neighbors could see through the faces of these two couples yesterday.

Mrs. Lin's fat face turned red, and she was about to act up, when Shuyao pulled Shujie's lapel: "Brother, don't let them go. Mother said she didn't want to see them, and so did Cuizhu. She didn't dare to run, mother."

He said that if a fugitive slave is caught, he will be beaten to death."

Cuizhu, who was lowering his head, shuddered when he heard these words. The Great Zhou Dynasty had strict regulations on buying slaves, but the regulations on slaves were even stricter. Once they were slaves, they were really like cats and dogs raised by their masters.

, death, and sale are all decided by the master's family. Unless the master's family is kind-hearted and releases the bond, if he is caught escaping privately, his life will be worse than death. Even those who harbor escaped slaves will be severely punished.

Shujie didn't care whether these people were going or not. He nodded and said to the neighbors: "Ignore them, let's go."

The cemetery they were going to was the entire burial land bought by Xia Linxuan before his death. Xia Linxuan and Zhao were buried there. The White Monkey Mountain where the cemetery is located was still quite far away. It took nearly half an hour to walk to the bottom of the mountain. Zhen Zirou’s coffin

It was placed on a long cart. Young Shuyao and Shuwen were also sitting on the cart supporting the coffin.

Seeing the funeral procession walking out of Xitang Street, Mrs. Lin hurriedly ran back to the yard: "They're gone, they're all gone, let's find them quickly." Zhen Dafu jumped up from the ground in the corridor, and was still kneeling on the ground in a daze when he saw it.

He kicked Cuizhu fiercely: "I haven't found your body deed yet, do you really want to be sold to the building? Dayong will not go to the building to redeem you." Lin Dayong is Lin's younger brother.

, is also Cuizhu’s lover.

Cuizhu suddenly woke up and stood up quickly. As long as she found Shenqi and Shuyao, she wouldn't have to worry about Shuwen's birth certificate. As for the government, Shangshufu would take care of it.

Mrs. Lin caught Cuizhu who was about to run to Shuyao's room: "We have searched those two rooms, and there is nothing valuable."

Cuizhu was stunned: "It's impossible. Each of the three of them has a treasure box. The body deed and birth certificate must be in the girl's treasure box. She likes to put all kinds of treasures in it. By the way, there are many more in their house.

A good gift from Madam Weiyuan Hou.

Zhen Dafu frowned: "There is indeed nothing inside, except for the two locked drawers in that room, we have looked at other places." He raised his right hand and pointed at Shujie and Shuwen's room.

Cuizhu was shocked: "Are they all hiding? My wife talked so much to the girl yesterday!"

Mrs. Lin cursed bitterly: "Didn't you say that Zhen Zirou didn't notice anything? You idiot! If you had told her earlier that she had discovered it, we would have found another way. Maybe we would have taken the things back and wouldn't have noticed anything.

Burnt in vain."

Cuizhu felt aggrieved: "Everything was indeed normal before. It wasn't until yesterday before I went out that I noticed that my wife seemed to be avoiding me and wanted to say something to the eldest young master. I drove the eldest young master to Wu Langzhong's place before going out. Wu Langzhong said that my wife was in trouble.

But last night, I thought it had nothing to do with it. Who knew it would rain for such a long time, but my wife would turn around and talk to the girl so much."

Mrs. Lin wanted to scold her again, but Zhen Dafu waved his hand impatiently: "Let's find something quickly. There is only such a yard, where else can the little girl hide her things?

They turned three rooms upside down and pried open two drawers in Shujie's room. Unfortunately, they were all empty.

"Under the tree, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree" Cuizhu suddenly shouted.

"What are you chirping? What kind of sweet-scented osmanthus tree?" Mrs. Lin was startled, slapping the bamboo and yelling.

"Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree," Cuizhu explained, "for a while, the girl didn't know what stories my wife told her. She liked to dig holes under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and bury things underneath."

Zhen Dafu's eyes lit up: "Yes, it must be, dig it out quickly."

The utility room was burned down, and there was no hoe or shovel to be found. They brought spatulas, kitchen knives, and green bamboo from the kitchen to point out the direction. The four servants who followed them dug around. There was nothing they could do. The tools were too small.

Not strong enough.

Sure enough, I quickly dug out some purses, small paper boxes, and oil-paper packages, but they were all filled with small hairpins or a few strange-shaped stones.

Finally, the spatula in one of the servants' hands hit a hard object, and he poked it sideways a few times: "Master, it seems to be in one piece."

Zhen Dafu was excited: "Be careful, be careful, use your hands to pick it up." Little girl! She really hid everything here. They were so obsessed with money that they didn't use their brains to think about it. It was raining heavily before they arrived yesterday, Shu Yao

How does a six-year-old girl dig a hole to hide treasure?

The four of them carefully dug it for a while, and they found a small square wooden box about one foot wide. Zhen Dafu and Lin's eyes were shining: "dig it out, dig it out completely, be careful."

The small wooden box was dug out and was very light.

Zhen Dafu said: "How much can birth certificates and banknotes weigh?"

When Lin thought about it, wasn't it? She pushed the servant aside with one hand, grabbed the wooden box and held it in her arms: "You all go away!"

The servant was holding a kitchen knife in his hand. He was suddenly pushed and jumped. He stepped back and stepped on the two round white pebbles he had just dug out.

The kitchen knife flew out, and the blade hit Zhen Dafu's right foot. Blood immediately poured out and quickly dyed the black cloth boots red.

"Ah——" A loud scream almost spread throughout the whole street.

Those who stayed home to do their work and did not go to the funeral hurriedly rushed into the Xia family's yard following the sound, only to find that everything was in a mess and a big hole had been dug under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

"What are you doing? Why are you digging up Shujie's yard? What are you people looking for? From yesterday to today." Qingfu, who had stayed up all night with Shujie last night, pointed at Zhen angrily.

Dafu asked loudly.

Aunt Li's 8-year-old daughter Qiu Tao is very smart. She heard the discussion between her parents and her two brothers yesterday and knew that these bad guys wanted to take away things from Shuyao's sister's house. She immediately ran to several houses to look around.

, came out and complained to the chief who had just arrived: "Uncle Zhang, these people came to steal things from sister Yaoer's house. All three rooms were turned into a mess, and the locks of the drawers were picked."

Zhang Shiwen, the librarian, lives two streets away from Xitang Street. It happened that he had accompanied his wife to a neighboring county to see her sick mother-in-law in the past few days. She came back very late last night. I just heard that the Xia family's wife was there.

He quickly ran over and realized that everyone had already gone up the mountain. Xia Linxuan once saved Zhang Shiwen's life, and the relationship between the two families was very good. Zhang Shiwen was about to go home and call his wife to rush to White Monkey Mountain together, when he heard that Zhen Dafu

That scream.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the chaos in the yard. Hearing Qingfu's accusation, he already knew that those people under the tree were not good people. Now he heard Qiutao's complaint and said angrily: "Neighbors, tie these people up."

Go to the county government office."

Yulin Town is on the border of Damingfu City and Yulin County, and the county government of Yulin County is located in Yulin Town.

"Go away, I'm Zhen Zirou's eldest brother, Shuyao's uncle, and the master of this family. It's none of your business to do whatever you want with me." Zhen Dafu was almost hurt to death. Someone actually wanted to kidnap him to the county government office.

, screaming in anger.

"Hmph," Zhang Shiwen sneered, "When did the brother-in-law become the master of the brother-in-law's family? I would like to ask the county magistrate, when did our great Zhou promulgate such a new law?"

Mrs. Lin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhen Dafu, and said with a serious face: "No, no, this mayor, he is dizzy from pain, don't argue with him. Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings, we are looking for

An ancestral jade pendant from our Zhen family was given to our aunt by our old lady in the early years. Now that my aunt is gone, we want to get it back as a memory for the old lady. It’s not stealing, it’s not stolen. We want it if we find it.

Discussed with Shuyao and his sister."

Who doesn't know that Mr. Yang, the magistrate of Yulin County, and Xia Linxuan, the first arrester in Yulin, are brothers? Now that the birth certificate has not been found, it is really a big deal. The Shangshu Mansion will not help fish them out from the county government.

.

Zhen Dafu was secretly pinched by Mrs. Lin, and his mind became clearer. He quickly grinned and said, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."

Mom, his foot really hurts. Is it broken? He turned to Cuizhu and shouted: "Fuck you, why don't you go find Wu Langzhong? Do you want to watch me bleed out?"
