After time-traveling, the farming female supporting role turned over with cannon fodder and salted f

Chapter 87
Taking a ten thousand step back, 1000 taels of silver is not something Xiao Qi can afford.

"For you, this amount of money is enough for you to settle down and buy land, hire a few tenant farmers as landlords, and live and work in peace and contentment for a lifetime. But if I send you to the government office, according to the laws of this dynasty, you will be punished forever if you take bribes !" Xiao Ning whispered coldly, loudly.

The cook shuddered. From a small landlord to a prisoner, this happened one day at a time.

"Now I will give you a chance. I will return the 1000 taels of silver to you without sending you to an official. As long as you do one thing for me, I will ask Lao Song to send someone to escort you out of the capital after it is done." How?" Xiao Ning said the last two words softly, like an invisible fishhook being slowly thrown out.

The cook suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, and he cupped his fists and cupped his hands: "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for your kindness! Just order me to do whatever you want! I will do whatever it takes!"

The bait is enough to lure, and the swimming fish will naturally take the bait easily.

"Just pretend that what happened tonight never happened. Xiao Qi will come to you again if she can't be framed. You must explain clearly what she wants you to do. If you dare to eat inside and outside, the 1000 taels of silver will be sent as evidence of a crime." Go to the government office. There are many bullies in the prison, and you may not have the opportunity to pass through the prison."

Xiao Ning's eyes are like knives, but his words are colder than her eyes.

"Yes, shopkeeper, don't worry, I almost made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and I will never do anything wrong to the restaurant again." The cook shuddered all over his body, and there were endless incidents of cell bosses beating people to death. If this body goes in, it will definitely not survive a day.

Xiao Ning glanced at Lao Song, and motioned him to take him down and find a place to keep him safe.

She returned to the Song residence in a carriage, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a hill of silver piled up, shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Xiao Ning reckoned that the stacked quantity was about 1000 taels, and it was probably found from under the stove of the cook's house.

Xiao Ning raised his eyebrows and sneered.

Last time, Xiao Wanying cheated a certain son of 5 taels of gold, forcing him to spend a large sum of money to buy the household department, and tampered with the number of the bank notes, so as not to be caught out to buy the national teacher.This time she bought it directly with money, needless to say, she learned a lesson.

As expected, Xiao Wanying was the mastermind behind the scenes.

When he came to the study room, Xiao Ning saw Si Ruiyan looking at a pair of calligraphy on the wall, his pens were like dragons and snakes, it looked like a bunch of ghostly symbols.

She didn't understand and didn't care, coughed dryly and said, "Thank you very much last night."

If Si Ruiyan hadn't led his troops to follow the cook and set up an ambush in the restaurant.Just relying on the boys in the building, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to frighten the cook.

Si Ruiyan's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't turn around or respond.

"Xiao Wanying is behind this incident, but the cook is only willing to bite Xiao Qi out. It seems that he was threatened to do this, not just because of money." Xiao Ning walked to him, seeing his expression She was as deep as usual, and she didn't dare to say some words.

She knew that Si Ruiyan had something in Xiao Wanying's hands. Although she didn't know what it was, she didn't want to do more research.According to Si Ruiyan's temperament, if he knew that he was investigating him behind his back, he would really be speechless in the future. Naturally, you have to use threats." Si Ruiyan said in a low voice, "Actually, you guessed right, Xiao Qi also participated in it."

Xiao Wanying had already used all her personal wealth to get revenge on Xiao Ning, and she didn't dare to seduce that rich man to ask for money again.Xiao Qi, as a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, has many people who admire her, but she will never lose her face to seduce others.

The two of them wanted to make up enough 1000 taels of cash, but they could only rely on Xiao Qi.

"Look, I found it this morning." Si Ruiyan picked up a letter from the case.

Xiao Ning took a while, it was only one night, he did not expect to find clues so quickly.

She quickly took the letter and opened it to see what was inside, which surprised her.

It clearly wrote the name of a son, and the secret relationship between him and Xiao Qi.The places where the two met were all remote places where no one was around, or in the private house of the other son, and the agreed days were when the court officials gathered for official business.

It is self-evident that a man and a woman meet privately while their elders are away.

"Liang Ding, a native of Xiazhou, was twenty years old, and was once a scholar. His family was from a scholarly family, and his ancestors were convicted and imprisoned. Since then, the family has fallen." Xiao Ning read the contents of the letter, and his voice gradually became a little bit trembling.

I have to say that Si Ruiyan's subordinates are really powerful, and they have investigated the man's ancestors from generation to generation.Moreover, the time and place of the tryst were extremely precise, as if this subordinate was just giving them a lookout.

"She's your older sister, you can do whatever you want." Si Ruiyan put his hands behind his back, staring sideways at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

As long as Xiao Ning sends this letter to his cheap father, Xiao Ran will surely find out that everything said in the letter is true after careful inspection.

In order to protect the face of the Xiao family, he either sent Xiao Qi to a nunnery in a Taoist temple to practice as a monk under some name, or he went to the Liang family to propose a marriage to make a good deed and cover up the scandal.

But as long as Xiao Qi gets married, the Xiao family will lose the eldest daughter, and there will be no chance for Xiao Ran to use the eldest daughter's high marriage to consolidate his power in the future.Getting promoted and getting rich on the one hand, and family scandals on the other, it's like having two hot potatoes in the hands of a starving person, neither throwing them nor holding them.

"Thank you." Xiao Ning hesitated for a while.

Si Ruiyan frowned, and glanced back at her slightly.

Knowing each other for so long, this is the first time he heard Xiao Ning say thank you to him.

Xiao Ning lowered his eyes in deep thought, and didn't notice the way Si Ruiyan looked at her.At this moment, her eyes moved slightly, her expression was serious, and she was thinking about something very important.

Si Ruiyan didn't interrupt her, but seeing her like this, she felt that Xiao Ning was completely different from before.

"I'll take care of it."

After a while, Xiao Ning put the letter back on the case, and smiled lightly at Si Ruiyan.

This smile is as gentle as the spring breeze in March, and as elegant as the peach blossoms in July.

Si Ruiyan was startled, before he had time to react, Xiao Ning strode out the door with his head held high.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned around and looked at the calligraphy and painting again, and let Xiao Ning do what she wanted.

In front of Xiao's house, Xiao Ning looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar plaque, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. "Second Miss?" A deep voice sounded.

Xiao Ning looked down, but saw a man who looked familiar.

"Sure enough, it's Second Miss!" The man stepped forward excitedly, his eyes moist.

Xiao Ning took a step back and looked at the man warily.

"Second Miss is back. Ever since you left, this old slave has been thinking about you! It's windy outside, let's talk about it first, Missy is at home today!" The man was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth, and turned sideways A gesture of please.

Xiao Ning didn't know why this person was so enthusiastic when she saw her, but when she heard that Xiao Ran was at home, she quickly walked through the door.

Her pace was fast, leaving the man directly behind.In the women's courtyard, he, a slave serving outside, was not allowed to enter.

"Eh? Second Miss?" The two maidservants standing outside the door couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when they saw the person coming.Xiao Ning glanced at them, staring straight at the closed door: "Open the door."

The servant girls were stunned, but they also sensed Xiao Ning's menace, one of them stepped forward and said: "This is the eldest lady's boudoir, no one else is allowed to enter, even the second lady has to let me know."
