In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Since no evidence could be found, Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi had already been mentally prepared.

After discovering the water leakage, Wei Feng and others arrived first, but they didn't find any clues when putting out the fire.

The person who did it was very cautious. After pouring the kerosene, nothing was left behind. The arrow must have been shot from a distance to ignite the fire.

The nock of the arrow was burned off, leaving only an ordinary arrow.

Cao Hongxin looked very unhappy. Although he took the arrowhead to check, there was nothing special about the arrowhead, so it would be difficult to find any results.

There was such a loud noise at night that everyone nearby woke up.

Close to Lingchu's house was Uncle Chengyi's house. Their housekeeper came with his servants to check it out and found out that someone had poured kerosene on their courtyard wall and burned one of the courtyard walls.

Although he was dissatisfied, he saw that Commander Cao and Master Ning were present, so he did not dare to say anything to Ling Chu. He only scolded the person behind the scenes.

Although Cao Hongxin left with his people, he left a few people to patrol nearby to prevent the bad guys from coming back again. The Chengyi Mansion also sent a few guards to patrol the surrounding area.

Ning Chuyi didn't want to stay any longer, so he said a few words about safety and left with Wei Feng and the others.

But he secretly left two secret guards to guard Ling Chu's house.

Commander Cao and Uncle Chengyi both left guards behind. Ling Chu was not worried that the people behind him would come back, so he went back with his two maids, locked the door and went to sleep.

The next day, Ling Chu took Xia Zhi and went straight to Yaxing.

Only two maids around her were not enough, so she had to hire more people.

In the tooth shop, I picked out some good-looking ones and bought them.

As soon as he went out, a girl wearing patches and patches suddenly rushed towards Ling Chu and knelt down facing her.

"Girl, please do me a favor, please buy me. I can cook, wash, and clean." As if she was afraid that Ling Chu would refuse, the girl begged and kowtowed.

Ling Chu hadn't spoken yet, but the lady-in-law who sent her out said impatiently, "Go, go, why is it you again? Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for having someone drive you away."

The girl didn't leave, but kept begging, "Girl, my mother is about to die of illness. Please buy me. It only costs 50 taels. I will definitely repay you in the future."

It turned out that she had to sell herself to save her mother, but she had just bought all the servants she needed at the tooth shop and had no intention of buying one more.

Ling Chu saw that her forehead was red and swollen from the knock, and his heart softened, and he said to Xia Zhi, "Give her five taels to get some medicine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Na Yapo shook her head and said, "Girl, I can't do it, I can't do it."

Ling Chu looked at her in confusion.

Xu saw that Ling Chu had bought someone in Yahang just now. Yahang hesitated for a while, then carefully looked around, and then whispered to Ling Chu.

"Miss Ling, this little girl's father likes to gamble and lost all the family's money. She accidentally fell to her death after being drunk a few days ago.

Only after his death did the little girl's family find out that he had borrowed usury from Duke Zhao's government during his lifetime, and now the interest was compounded and he owed hundreds of taels.

The little girl's family is now extremely poor, and there is no way she can get the money to pay back the money, so she has to sell herself.If you buy her back, her mother will not come to your house every day to ask for money.

This girl has a filial heart and will definitely not watch her mother being forced into debt, and then she won't be able to ask for your help.Usury money is a bottomless pit, and it's very dangerous to get involved in it. "

Ling Chu's heart moved. She was worried about how to get back the concubinage documents from Duke Zhao's mansion. This might be a good opportunity.

In front of Ya Po, Ling Chu didn't say anything. After thanking her, he left with the others.

After walking a certain distance and seeing that Ya Po had gone back, he asked Xia Zhi to bring the girl over.

When she saw Ling Chu, the girl was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow.

After Ling Chu asked Xia Zhi to help her up, he asked directly, "Your father borrowed usury from Zhao Guogong's government, which Zhao family it was from?" Zhou Banqin didn't know why the girl in front of him asked about usury, and felt uneasy. But he didn't dare to hide it.

"The person who put the usury money was Zhao Guogong's house, but it was not Zhao Guogong, but the Guogong's wife Guo."

"Are you sure you are Mrs. Zhao Guogong?"

Zhou Banqin nodded bitterly, "I'm sure, the person who came to my house asking for money was the steward of Mrs. Zhao Guogong. When she saw that my family couldn't come up with the money to repay the debt, she asked my mother to sell me to a brothel.

My mother disagreed, and the nanny also said that she was the nanny of Mrs. Zhao Guogong and knew many wealthy people.You can introduce me to those rich families as a concubine. I can pay off the money by asking for more gifts. "

It's just that Zhou Banqin's mother felt that the nanny was not a good person, and the person she introduced might not necessarily be a good family. She didn't want her daughter to become a concubine and be teased by the main wife.

"Girl, my father actually regrets it. He was lured into gambling, and after borrowing loan sharks, he found out that it was a bottomless pit. He has quit gambling and is working hard to make money to pay off the debt.

My father originally sold a piece of jade pendant handed down from his ancestors, and my mother also sold her last dowry, but there was still a shortfall of 80 taels.I originally planned to borrow it from relatives again, and when I had collected enough, I would return it to Mrs. Zhao Guogong together.

I just didn’t expect that before I could pay back the money, my dad would leave. "

After Zhou Banqin's father died, her mother fell ill again.

In order to save money and pay off debts, her mother buried her father hastily, and even did not dare to see a doctor to buy medicine when he was sick.

Zhou Banqin had no choice but to sell himself.

Originally, she wanted to sell herself in a dental shop, but Yapo somehow found out about her family. She was worried that her family would be affected if she bought her. She also thought her selling price of 50 taels was too high, so she was unwilling to buy her. she.

Ling Chu asked Xia Zhi to buy Zhou Banqin for 100 taels, "50 taels is your worth, and the other 50 taels will be regarded as loaned to you by me, and will be deducted from your monthly silver in the future. In addition, I will give you the seal of your family." Are you willing to give me the IOU for the money?"

Zhou Banqin was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

Ling Chu took Zhou Banqin to her home.

I originally thought that Zhou Banqin's mother would be reluctant to sell her daughter, but her mother agreed in order to pay off the debt and support her two young sons.

After receiving the deed of sale, giving the banknote, and taking the loan form for usury, Ling Chu returned home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division came to the door.

As soon as they met, Cao Hongxin couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Ling, I wonder if you have time now?"

Ling Chu didn't expect him to be so eager, and couldn't help but be curious, "A very valuable item was lost at your home. Did the police investigate it?"

Cao Hongxin hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "There is no report."

Didn't report something to the official if you lost something?
Seeing Ling Chu's surprise, Cao Hongxin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "To be honest, what was lost was my daughter's betrothal gift. The reason why I didn't report it to the official is because... my mother and my second brother probably did this..."

He faces the computer every day. Recently, he has suffered from severe pain in his cervical spine and is dizzy.
