Pastoral little master

Chapter 398
Qiduo turned pale, and answered Han Hecheng seriously, "Master Han, I just want to confirm whether my second uncle has returned the money to you."

Han Hecheng nodded, "I paid it back. I just delivered it at noon. Although it's past the deadline, I don't think it's difficult for him because of my past affection."
"I don't know if my second uncle returned you a bank note or cash?" Qi Duo asked, she was not interested in other matters.

"Xianyin, what's the matter?" Han Hecheng didn't understand why she asked this.

"The 500 taels are cash?" Qiduo's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Han Hecheng nodded.

"I wonder if Young Master Han can show us the silver that Second Uncle gave you back?" Qi Duo was inexplicably excited when she said the ultimate purpose.

Han Hecheng didn't nod immediately, but looked at Qiduo's father and daughter and Xu Youxuan with very vigilant eyes, thinking about their real purpose for coming today.

Being stared at like a thief, Xu Youxuan was very displeased, frowned and said, "Master Han, don't worry, 500 taels of silver is nothing in your eyes, and it is nothing in our eyes either. We don't think about it, we just want to borrow it."

Han Hecheng smiled and finally nodded in agreement.

He took Qiduo and the others to the flower hall in front, and then went to the inner room to take out the 500 taels of silver that had not been sent to the bank.

The silver was packed in a sandalwood box, and the white flowers were really scorching.

Qiduo took out an ingot of silver, turned it over without looking at anything else, and asked about it.

After looking at it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

There are three small characters pierced with needles on the bottom of the silver. This small character is 'Tan Binggui', which is the name of Mr. Tan.

This is exactly the mark that grandpa said before. He stabbed his name on all the silver ingots with a needle. It was just an idle act, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the evidence of finding the lost silver.
"How is it?" Xu Youxuan and Tan Dejin asked at the same time.

In order not to make Han Hecheng nervous, the two of them did not touch money.

"Father, look below." Qiduo handed the silver to Tan Dejin, and pointed to the bottom of the silver ingot.

Tan Dejin hurriedly took the silver, the three words on the silver ingot hurt his eyes, and he gritted his teeth secretly.

After reading it, he handed the silver to Xu Youxuan.

Xu Youxuan also saw those three words, sighed lightly, and put the silver back into the box.

Qiduo looked at a few more silver ingots, and sure enough, each ingot had Mr. Tan's name on it.

"Can you tell me now, what is your purpose?" Han Hecheng looked at Qiduo and asked.

Qiduo put the silver ingots back into the box, and said seriously, "Young Master Han, I have to tell you that these silver ingots were stolen from my grandfather's house."

"What?" Han Hecheng was surprised, but then said, "Your second uncle gave me back the money, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Eldest Young Master Han, we naturally know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but please ask Young Master to prove it for us." Qi Duo said.

Han Hecheng's peach blossom eyes drooped.

In his heart, he trampled on Tan Deyin and despised him. He didn't expect Tan Deyin to do something like stealing.

It would be nice to take this opportunity to humiliate Tan Deyin.

However, after humiliating Tan Deyin, the money will definitely belong to the Tan family, so who should I go to for my 500 taels?
He hesitated.

"Miss Tan, this silver was returned to me by someone else. As for how others got it, it has nothing to do with me." Han Hecheng said.

"Master Han, if we report to the government, you will be suspected of harboring stolen goods, young master. It is not easy to clear up the suspicion of this partnership. Who told you, young master, that you and my second uncle once It's Weng son-in-law, this relationship is extraordinary." Qiduo was calm and relaxed.

"You..." Han Hecheng stagnated.

It's really unlucky, I was just collecting debts, but I didn't expect to get into such a mess.

Han Hecheng was very depressed, so he nodded and agreed to Qiduo's request, and went to Tan Deyin's house to testify together.

But he also expressed his worries, "However, if I act as a witness for you, wouldn't my money be wasted? Your second uncle is so cowardly, where can you get another 500 taels to pay me back?"

Qiduo looked at Han Hecheng with some disdain, "Doesn't his house still have a house?"

Wicked Tan Deyin, you stole grandpa's money, and you ran to our house to cheat money, you really deserve to die, so don't blame my sister for making me worse!
Tan Deyin has done a lot of things like throwing stones into trouble, and it is his retribution to repay him in the same way today.

Han Hecheng narrowed his peach blossom eyes and said with a smile, "Then thank you Miss Tan for reminding me."

Qiduo smiled noncommittally, and the group left Yayuan.

When Tan Deyin saw Han Hecheng, his legs felt a little weak.

Han Hecheng put the box in front of Mr. Tan, and explained the origin of the money.

With trembling hands, Mr. Tan picked up the silver ingot and looked at it. When he saw the three characters engraved on it by himself, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

What a misfortune for the family, how could such a beast be born.

"Tan Deyin, you bastard, what are you talking about?" Mr. Tan scolded with a purple face.

"Father, you are wronged, someone wants to frame you." Tan Deyin immediately cried out for himself.

"Bastard, until now, you still don't repent. Today I have the right to treat you as a beast, and I will send you to the government for strict investigation." Mr. Tan picked up the cup and threw it at Tan Deyin.

Although Tan Deyin hid quickly, he was still splashed all over by the hot tea, grinning in pain.

The evidence was conclusive, no matter how much Tan Deyin wanted to deny it, he couldn't resist it, so he had to kneel down to plead with Mr. Tan.

After inspection, it was found that the five taels of silver belonged to Mr. Tan.
Qi Duo's heart suddenly became cold again. Back then, Tan Deyin didn't lie, and grandpa really got the money.

Ugh!
She sighed inwardly.
Han Hecheng returned the money to Mr. Tan and asked Tan Deyin to rewrite an IOU. Then he left Tan Deyin's house first, not wanting to get involved with the Tan family in handling family affairs.

After Han Hecheng left, Mr. Tan said, "Bastard, where is the rest of the money?"

"There is also our family's 200 taels of bank notes, return them together." Qi Duo said coldly from the side.

Tan Dejin glanced at his daughter, without any objection, just lowered his head.

He also felt very sad. His younger brother stole his father's money, and his father hid it as if it was his life. Even at the critical moment when the lives of his grandchildren were at stake, he never thought of helping with money.

Who are these people!
His nose was sore, and he suddenly wanted to cry.

Tan Debao also glanced at his father and second elder brother with contempt, hum, they really are a good father and son!
Tan Deyin had no choice but to go to the house, took the remaining money and the bank note borrowed in the morning, and put them on the table.

From his tight lips, it can be seen that he is not convinced.

He straightened his back and looked at Mr. Tan, "Father, in fact, don't blame me for doing this, just blame you for not being honest enough. The 500 taels of silver should have been divided when the family was divided, but you have been hiding it from the whole family. People, treat us all like cowards. I don’t want too much, you can give me the 80 taels I got now, that’s only fair.”

"Bastard, you...you still want to share the money, go ahead and dream." Old Master Tan's old face turned purple.

More of an embarrassment.

Hiding money behind his children's and grandchildren's backs, but calling him poor all day long, if word got out, his old face would have no place to put it.
If the money hadn't been stolen, no one else would have known about it for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, it is Tan Deyin who Mr. Tan hates the most now.

Neither Tan Dejin nor Tan Debao spoke.

"Well, Dad, you can do it regardless of the money. Now that my son is in trouble, can't you lend some money to my son to help me tide over the difficulties?" Tan Deyin said bitterly.

"No, this money is the foundation of our Tan family, and no one can borrow it." Master Tan said decisively.

"Okay, okay, Dad, you are really cruel!" Tan Deyin's face was a little ferocious.

"Bastard, don't talk nonsense there. You know whether you have any money on your body. Don't put on a show there. Boss, fourth brother, let's go home." Mr. Tan got up ruthlessly, not intending to solve the problem for his son at all. difficulties.
In the end, the silver was neither divided nor borrowed. Mr. Tan held the box of silver and left Tan Deyin's house with Qiduo and the others.

Along the way, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing, without the joy of recovering lost money at all.

On the contrary, Qiduo, Tan Dejin and Tan Debao all felt heavy in their hearts.

Old man Tan also looked embarrassed.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Tan family compound, and Mr. Tan got out of the carriage holding the box, looked at the box, then looked at Tan Dejin and Tan Debao, his lips moved, "Boss, fourth brother, this money..."

"Grandpa, some things are over in the past. We don't need the money." Qiduo answered on behalf of his father and fourth uncle.

Then she lowered the curtain, and the carriage drove away.

Grandpa Tan watched the carriage disappear from sight, heaved a long sigh, and went home with the money in his arms.

The suspicion of Tan Decai's family was finally cleared, Wu could not help but complain a few words, but he paid attention to the box in Mr. Tan's arms.

Qiduo told Mrs. Xu about the silver in private.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was stunned for a while, then sneered, "Silver is really a good thing, it is more important than life."
Qiduo also sighed lightly.
The silver in hand flew away, and Tan Deyin was so angry that he smashed the cup on the table.
Saburo listened quietly to the movement outside the door, his eyes were dim, and his heart was full of shame, why would he have such a father?
why?
He walked out of the mansion alone in a daze, wandering aimlessly in the street, not knowing where to go.

When night fell, Saburo returned home with heavy steps.

It's just that the house is deserted, and there is no usual laughter and laughter. Qilang and Dalang are sitting on the flower platform in the yard blankly.

Seeing Sanlang come back, Xiao Qilang ran over and threw himself into his arms, "Second brother, we have no place to live."

"Ah, what's going on?" San Lang was shocked, and quickly squatted down to ask Qi Lang.

"Because, this is my home now." Before Qilang came back, Han Hecheng's proud voice came from behind Saburo.

Saburo turned his head and saw Han Hecheng standing at the gate with a group of vicious servants.

Han Hecheng smiled brightly.
