Chapter 76
Qi Tanying's investigation of Zhuang Nanny's family's criminal evidence of ink corruption was carried out very secretly. Except for Ting Lan and Ting Lan's brother who knew about it, she only told Yan Li.

After Yan Li heard this, he asked Qi Tanying to change people directly, so there was no need to work hard for a few evil slaves.

Qi Tanying said: "I not only want to change people, but also want to change everyone's heart."

She wanted to use Madam Du's family to make an example of others, and to do things for her master. It was fine to take advantage of small things, but absolutely not to be greedy and thieves.

Seeing that she was so serious, Yan Li couldn't help joking: "Madam, do you need me, the head of the family, to deter them?"

Qi Tanying glanced at him, "Deterrence is not necessary, I need your help to do another thing."

"tell me the story."

"After all, Nanny Zhuang is an old man by my mother's side. I'm worried that she will go to my mother and cry and beg for mercy. At that time, my husband will need to persuade my mother."

After thinking about it for a while, Yan Li understood her intention, his little wife was afraid that his mother's heart would soften and let the evil slave go.

"Leave it to me." After agreeing, he asked again: "When will it start?"

Qi Tanying said: "The day after tomorrow."

Yan Li nodded, he chose a good day, and he will take a rest at home the next day to deal with this matter.

Two days passed in a flash, and on the day of "Catching Bugs", Qi Tanying and Yan Li first accompanied the old lady Yan to eat the morning food, and then pushed her to go around the garden.

Mrs. Yan was in a good mood. At this time, Qi Tanying took out the price comparison book. After reading it, Mrs. Yan's expression changed a few times, and finally she threw the account book on Nanny Zhuang with a sullen face, "Yue Niang , tell me what's going on here?"

Nanny Zhuang picked up the account book in a daze, her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly knelt down, "Old lady, what we supply to our house are the best and freshest things, and the price is naturally higher than that of the small vendors outside. higher.

I don't know why my wife made such a comparison booklet. I assure you that my family is loyal to you and my lord, and I will never dare to do anything disloyal. "

Grandma Zhuang's sophistry made Qi Tanying couldn't help laughing, it's this time, and she still doesn't forget to show her loyalty with her mouth.She nodded slightly to Ting Lan, and Ting Lan quietly backed away.

After about half a stick of incense, Ting Lan came back with a wooden box in her arms.

Grandma Zhuang was shocked when she saw the wooden box, she turned her head and looked at Qi Tanying angrily, "Madam, why do you want to touch the old slave's personal belongings?"

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture to grab the box.

Ting Lan took a few steps back sideways, Zhuang Nanny accidentally fell to the ground, still yelling: "Give me back my things."

Qi Tanying took the wooden box from Ting Lan, walked straight to Old Madam Yan, and opened the box in front of her.

I saw that the box was divided into three layers, the top layer contained broken silver and copper coins, the second layer was full of jewelry, and the bottom layer contained land deeds and house deeds.

Aside from the first and second floors, let’s just talk about the land deed and the house deed. There are five deeds in total, including two house deeds and three land deeds.

"Mother, look, these five deeds are all signed by Bao Quan, and Bao Quan is the elder brother of Madam Zhuang's daughter-in-law, Bao's sister-in-law, and the Bao family is so poor that they are about to sell their sons and daughters, yet they still have the money to buy a house and land. "

A discerning person can tell what's going on at a glance. The old lady Yan carefully flipped through the five deeds, and her face became more and more ugly. The two houses on the deeds are in Le'anfang and Xiningfang respectively. There is absolutely no way to get a house without 500 taels.

The three land deeds have a total of 370 mu of paddy fields and [-] mu of dry fields, all of which are second-class fields.According to the current market price, one mu of second-class paddy fields sold for five taels of silver, and one mu of second-class dry land sold for four taels of silver.Converted down, a total of [-] taels of silver will be needed.

In other words, the house deed and land deed on the third floor alone are worth almost 900 taels of silver, plus the second broken silver and jewelry on the first floor, this seemingly inconspicuous wooden box contains Precious things worth a thousand gold.

The old lady Yan was very sad, "I thought I treated you kindly, but I didn't expect to raise a brood of silverfish."

Nanny Zhuang climbed up in front of Old Madam Yan, "Old Madam, I was wronged, those things are not mine, I just kept them for others. You have to trust me."

Yan Li, who hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, suddenly laughed, "It's for Bao Quan to keep."

Nanny Zhuang nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it is still the uncle who is aware of the details. The box was indeed placed by the brother of the old slave's daughter-in-law."

Yan Li and Qi Tanying looked at each other, this old man still refused to explain, it seems that he will not cry when he sees the coffin.

Qi Tanying possessed herself and said a few words in Old Madam Yan's ear, and Madam Yan nodded after listening.

Qi Tanying said loudly: "Bring people up."

After the words fell, Liu Zhuang, Liu's sister-in-law, and Bao's couple were all brought in front of Mrs. Yan.

Compared with the three members of Nanny Zhuang's family, who had round waists and thick arms, Bao Quan and his wife looked like refugees, not to mention their sallow complexions and hair like withered grass, and their bodies were heavily patched.

Anyone with eyes would not believe that this box of valuables belonged to Bao Quan and his wife.The fact is the same, there is no need to press, Bao Quan and his wife have told everything.

"My younger sister's family is all slaves and cannot buy private property. They borrowed the house deed and land deed to buy it in Xiao's name. Aunt Zhuang gave Xiao five taels of silver back as a hush money, and there is evidence to prove it."

After speaking, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

It suddenly read:

On a certain day in a certain year, Liu Zhuang and his wife Bao borrowed the name of Bao Quan, Bao's brother, to purchase two residential houses in Le'anfang and Xiningfang, as well as [-] mu of second-class paddy fields and dry fields in the suburbs of Beijing. Zhuang and Bao's custody, Bao Quan has no right to interfere with the disposal of the house and land.As a token of gratitude, Liu Zhuang gave Bao Quan ten taels of silver as a thank-you fee. If Bao Quan violated this agreement, Bao Quan would have to compensate Liu Zhuang and Bao's one hundred taels of silver.

At the end of the document, each of the three people drew and marked.

Now the evidence is complete, but Nanny Zhuang still does not give up, "This document can only prove that our family bought private property without telling the master's family, but it does not prove that we are greedy for the master's money. The money, real estate and land are all mine. Saved up hard."

While talking, he looked at Bao Quan and his wife viciously, "You ungrateful dog, what kind of benefits did they give you, and let you frame our mother and son regardless of relatives?"

They naturally refer to Qi Tanying and Ting Lan.

"enough!"

Old Madam Yan didn't want to hear her biting, so she yelled to stop.

She really couldn't believe that the maid who had been with her for 20 years had such an unbearable face. If she hadn't handed over the housekeeping power to her daughter-in-law, they might have emptied the Yan family one day.

The wealth of the Yan family was saved by her husband and father-in-law through untold hardships, and she absolutely does not allow outsiders to covet it.

Old Madam Yan glanced over the three members of Nanny Zhuang's family, and rubbed the sore brows, "Call the matchmaker tomorrow, sell them."

If you sell far away, you will never see each other again for the rest of your life.
