Need for money

Lin Jingzhi's eyes widened when he heard the name of Manager Pang Da. Could it be that Pang Lu found out so quickly the man behind the scenes who secretly persuaded Mrs. Lin to put the marble under his bed?

If this is the case, this huge steward is really amazing. You must know that the last time he handed over this matter to Shi Mo to investigate, after several days, he couldn't even find out any clues.

"Yu'er, change your clothes, let's go there together." In Auntie's room, Lin Jingzhi's spare clothes as a husband-in-law was naturally indispensable. He walked in and gave Aunt Yu instructions.

Aunt Yu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

Entering the room, Lin Jingzhi ran directly into the inner room, causing Aunt Yu to roll her eyes angrily. This was too casual, but she didn't know that in the 21st century, entering a room with an acquainted woman is really nothing big deal.

Because it is no secret to teach Lin Jingzhi martial arts, so the little maids in Aunt Yu's room also stayed in the small courtyard and followed them in. First, they helped Lin Jingzhi take off his outer shirt, and then put on a new long robe. .

Aunt Yu glanced at Lin Jingzhi, saw that he was facing the wall, and didn't intend to turn around, so she turned her back and changed into another black tights. She knew that she might have to meet guests when she went out, so she just dressed like this Certainly not, so she put on another long dark purple dress outside.

The black cloth shoes under his feet were also changed, and replaced with purple embroidered shoes.

After Lin Jingzhi changed his clothes, seeing that Aunt Yu was well-dressed, he nodded in satisfaction, and then led the way and went straight to the study.

When he arrived, Steward Pang Pang was sitting on a chair, and Shi Mo stood beside him serving tea and water.

"This old slave has seen the second master, Aunt Yu." Seeing Lin Jingzhi pushing the door and coming in, Pang Lu quickly stood up, bowed and gave a salute. Si Mo hadn't seen Lin Jingzhi for several days, and his face burst into tears. Excited, he knelt down and kowtowed abruptly, "I have seen the second master, Aunt Yu."

"Get up." Lin Jingzhi helped Pang Lu, then stepped forward, mixed Shi Mo up with his own hands, and said with a smile, "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you change your status?"

Shi Mo scratched his head, and replied embarrassingly: "Why, isn't it a matter of course for a slave to kowtow to the second master?"

"Fuck you!" Lin Jingzhi kicked him angrily, then walked to the side and sat down, "Boss, what do you want me to do today?"

Pang Lu saw that there was a hint of eagerness in his master's eyes, and he probably guessed a little bit, and replied: "Second Master, the black hand behind the Lin family has been found out by the old slave!"

"Oh? Who?"

"Aunt Yue!"

As soon as these three words fell into his ears, Lin Jingzhi felt that it was natural, but also a bit difficult to accept. No matter what, Aunt Yue was his father's woman.

Aunt Yue, the third concubine of Lin Jingzhi's father, has a son named Lin Yaozhi. Lin Yaozhi has a dull personality and only likes to bury his head in reading. This year he is only 13 years old and the fifth eldest in his family.

"Sir, please sit down." As soon as she heard that it was Aunt Yue's hand, the purpose was self-evident. She had a son, and naturally she wanted him to sit on the throne of the head of the Lin family.

Hearing Lin Jingzhi's order, Pang Lu did not sit down as obediently as before, but looked at Aunt Yu who was standing behind the master. The master's women were all standing, and he was not qualified to sit down as a slave.

Following Pang Lu's eyes, Lin Jingzhi realized that Aunt Yu was standing behind her in a well-regulated manner. He was used to her current status. He was careless for a moment and didn't pay attention. He patted his forehead annoyed, and said, "Yu'er, From now on, you will follow me, you don't have to stand, just sit down."

Aunt Yu glanced at him, did not speak, found a chair, and sat down firmly.

Seeing this, Pang Lu also found a chair, but only sat on half of his buttocks, "Second Master, although spreading the news that putting the stone under your bed can prosper your family business, the person who washes away the filth is Aunt Yue. , but after a few days of secret investigation, the old slave felt that there seemed to be a big hand behind this incident."

"What? Could it be that the real mastermind of this incident is not someone from the Lin family?" Lin Jingzhi was startled when he heard this. Could it be that Tian Ji and Wang Meng had planned to attack the Lin family as early as a few years ago?

impossible!

"Back to the second master, it's hard to talk about it. The reason why this old slave came to you today is to borrow some people from you."

Lin Jingyi was taken aback, and then asked: "Oh? Could it be that you want to borrow some hidden guards?"

The last time Pang Lu went to investigate the robbery of the Lin family's bodyguards, the hidden guards of the Lin family contributed a lot. If not for the high skills of these hidden guards, Pang Lu would not have found out that the man behind the scenes was Tian Ji Wang Meng so quickly, "That's right. , because this matter is related to the life and safety of the second master, so the old slave did not dare to be careless. After finding out some news, the old slave arrested five or six people related to this matter in one breath last night. Only then did I find out that this matter has something to do with Aunt Yue's natal family."

Since the natal family was brought in, the mastermind behind the scenes was naturally Aunt Yue.

"Aunt Yue's natal family?" Lin Jingzhi was a little puzzled, "Her family is just a small merchant born and bred in Luo City, how did they know that putting this kind of stone under the bed can kill people?"

"Back to the second master, this old slave also has doubts, so he planned to let people follow Aunt Yue's natal family in secret, and find out who is behind the scenes."

Pang Lu frowned slightly when he said this, and said: "Second master, this time the old slave has arrested too many people, and it will definitely be exposed, so I hope you can send some secret guards to the old slave as soon as possible. Aunt Yue and her natal family can't hold back, and will contact that person in a day or two."

"Okay! No problem." Lin Jingzhi patted his thigh and agreed happily. This guy hiding in the dark must not be let go, otherwise he might stab someone in the back at some point.

"Shi Mo, you should contact the secret guards now and ask them to pick a few good players and listen to the chief steward's command."

Hearing this, Shi Mo didn't dare to take it easy, so he responded and ran out of the study in a hurry.

"Second Master, those people who collected the money and helped Aunt Yue spread the news are all locked in the basement of the backyard. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Hearing Pang Lu's suggestion, Lin Jingzhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, you lead the way, we'll go over and have a look."

Lin Jingzhi is a modern person, and he really can't imagine what tricks Pang Lu used to make those people open their mouths. He was a little curious, but also a little nervous.

In this society, servants do not have the slightest dignity and status, so Pang Lu probably used heavy punishments in order to ask the answers he wanted to know as soon as possible.

After leaving the study, Pang Lu led the way, followed closely by Lin Jingzhi and Aunt Yu. As he got closer to the basement, his big hands became tighter and tighter.

The situation in this basement is not like the torture room in the TV series, with a stove, a red-hot iron, a stick, and a whip covered in blood...

Finally, just collect it!
