Chapter 109

With Zhang Ji's insider identification, the rumors naturally became more and more out of hand.It was like a ferocious beast that opened the gate, rampaging and destroying Zhang Ji's vitality.

However, although there are traitors and people with no conscience, most of the people who work in Zhang Ji are simple and honest.He didn't attack the boss because of rumors, and even explained to others that Zhang Ji's boss was kind and never treated them harshly.Even if there is a difficulty, they will help, and never deduct wages.

It's just that the direction of the wind seems to be driven by someone. No matter how you say it, you are overwhelmingly suspicious of Zhang Ji.Not to mention Zhang Mantun who is already in prison, even Lin Baozhu's life is difficult now, not only because of the gossip outside, but more importantly, sometimes when she goes out, someone will throw stones at her behind her back.

But if this is the case, she dare not go out to manage, not only for business and future.What's more, the man in her family still doesn't know what's going on now. Since she was sent to prison, she tried to find out the truth several times, but failed.

It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, for Lin Baozhu, any matter that can be solved with money is not considered a dead end.The key point is that several times, even if the money has been wrapped up to a hundred taels, there is no way to send it.

The county magistrate refused to accept bribes, and the yamen guards guarding the prison also got a word and asked them to do their duty.With the words from above, they naturally dare not be greedy for the money. If they make trouble, they will lose their livelihood and be charged with dereliction of duty.

Lin Baozhu was in a panic at home, even Shi Dayong couldn't help giving money to acquaintances, let alone others.No, she was trying to find a solution with Shi Dayong and his wife with a sad face.

Even though she was already full of worries, she still had to force herself to calm down.

"I have already found out that the complainant is from Chenjia Village, and neither of them is a good person." Shi Dayong wiped his face, and said in a deep voice, "According to my brother and sister, I took things to make excuses. It took no effort at all to get the bottom over there. Not only that, but I also found the pharmacy where Fatty Chen went to buy laxatives."

Ever since Zhang Mandun was sent to prison, Shi Dayong's family has also been implicated, and some people in the village even said they would drive them away.It's just that if he can't save his brother for a day, he can't let go of his heart and leave.Even if they already have more money on hand now, it is more than enough to live in the town or county.

But Zhang Xiuniang's thinking is simpler, and she can't be ignorant of her conscience.At the beginning, it was the Zhang family who pulled them back when they were in despair and gave them a way to survive. Now let alone Zhang Mandun was wronged.Even if they really killed someone, they can't be white-eyed wolves, running away unkindly in order to protect themselves.

With this consensus, the two of them spared no effort in helping Lin Baozhu.

These days Lin Baozhu didn't have the heart to manage the workshop, even though people in the workshop were panicked.Thanks to Zhang Xiuniang, Aunt Tian, ​​and Aunt Ma who comforted everyone, so although there were two bad things, they did not hinder the big thing.

As for the two women who thought Zhang Ji was finished and wanted to sell Zhang Ji to get some benefits, Lin Baozhu would naturally liquidate her in the future.But now, the most important thing is how to save people.

Speaking of which, those two people are also ignorant, and thanks to Lin Baozhu's division of labor based on character, these two people only helped to pick tea leaves, and did not participate in the frying and making of tea, let alone know that after frying tea, Lin Baozhu Orbs also refine tea leaves.Therefore, even if Zhou Ji spent a lot of money to poach people, he didn't get any useful information.Not to mention the craftsmanship and process of Lin Baozhu's tea frying, she simply doesn't know anything about it.

After seeing that the yamen was unable to exert any strength, Lin Baozhu asked Shi Dayong and Dashan to help find out the details of Fatty Chen and the complaining daughter-in-law.After following the clues, they naturally found out about laxatives.Of course, some people have even seen Fatty Chen take over with a well-dressed man who seems to be in charge of a rich family.

At the same time, Lin Baozhu didn't care about the defense of men and women, let alone the important place of the barracks, so she went to find the six sons.Fortunately, Liu Zi is now registered in the barracks, and when she heard that she was Liu Zi's sister-in-law, the guards outside did not make things difficult for her.

After finding the sixth son, as soon as she told about what happened these days, the sixth son jumped up and scolded his mother.Later, he quickly took a leave of absence and mobilized his friends of all kinds to investigate the details of Liu Yuzuo.

After a few days of tossing, she really made her grasp some things.

It turned out that Liu Yuzuo had already accepted the benefits of Zhou Ji, and he wanted to hang the whole Zhang Ji and Zhang Mandun to death.

"Sister-in-law, the elder of Zhou Ji is the county magistrate and his father-in-law. I don't know whether he handles the case in a muddle or in collusion with Zhou Ji." The six sons were serious, and without the glib tongue they usually have, they said worriedly, "If Zhou Ji is a senior I'm afraid it will be difficult for the master to fight with him."

After finishing speaking, he scratched his head in frustration, "It would be great if the second brother was here, he is the most intelligent dog-headed military adviser among brothers." After a pause, he said discouragedly, "Why don't I go to find the county magistrate Complaint? Zuoyou county magistrate is now in the barracks, although he has always ignored the government affairs, but it is estimated that talking will be useful."

In fact, it is the magistrate of the county, but in the final analysis, all their soldiers regard him as a general.In fact, what the six sons didn't know was that the magistrate in their eyes was a general at all, and now he was parachuted here to be the magistrate just to paralyze some spies.

The matter of going to war with the barbarians of the Xiongnu has been put on the order by the superiors, so naturally it must be arranged early, and it is best to give the Xiongnu a fatal blow.

When Lin Baozhu heard this, her eyes lit up at first, but then she thought that she hadn't seen the magistrate in court for so long, maybe it was because of the imperial court's regulations.She doesn't know much about the laws and bureaucratic system here, but she also knows that she can't be rash at this time, let alone let her man's close brothers take risks for this matter.

The sixth child is honest and has a good future, and his own men also value him.If he was in trouble to save his man, let alone her, even Zhang Mandun after he was released from prison would feel uneasy.

"No need for now. Now we have a lot of evidence, let's see what the county magistrate's attitude is. If it doesn't work, I will go to the city to find the magistrate to file a complaint." Lin Baozhu squinted her eyes and had an idea in her heart.

Hearing that his sister-in-law was going to sue her superiors, the six sons jumped in shock, and quickly said: "Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive, go to the Zhizhou to file a complaint, but you will suffer. And if the Zhizhou adults don't accept it, or if the officials help to suppress this In the lawsuit, not only the eldest brother was not saved, but even the sister-in-law will be implicated and severely punished."

The law of this dynasty: "Everyone who appeals to the Yue and the recipient will be whipped forty each." It is also said that "there are many small people who sue the capital, and according to the facts, they are often untrue, and it is strictly prohibited by the Yue."

Even so, due to the reality of the officialdom, they are often exiled into the army or demoted to slavery because of the mutual protection of officials, regardless of the truth.No matter what the outcome is, it would not be a good choice to leapfrog the appeal.

But Lin Baozhu was not afraid, if she really got to that point, she was really desperate, even if it was a pit of fire, she would definitely go for it.

"As long as there is any hope, I will not let Man Tun be wronged." Her voice was very soft, but she was very firm.Just this one sentence actually made Liu Zi, a brat who doesn't like to obey others in his bones, feel admiration in his heart.The eldest brother was right, sister-in-law is a good person, and he treats her wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziben's serious face relaxed a lot, and said: "I haven't reached that step yet, let's see, if it doesn't work, I have to ask my second brother." After a pause, he scratched his head a little uncomfortable She said embarrassingly, "Before I was worried that sister-in-law and elder brother would not be able to live together, but I never said that second elder brother is His Highness Prince Rui's counselor, he is very important."

He was indeed a little embarrassed. After all, his eldest brother had never been popular with women, and then one suddenly appeared, and he hadn't even greeted his brothers. Isn't it suspicious?
But now, sister-in-law's actions showed that they were too narrow-minded.

Anyway, in any case, next, Lin Baozhu took a lot of evidence and rang the Dengwen drum of the yamen.Of course, it's not like she didn't leave behind, the evidence in hand is only one of them, as long as the county magistrate ignorant of his conscience wants to cover up Zhou Ji, Shi Dayong will spread the evidence.In the meantime, she will continue to appeal.

In fact, it sounds simple, but in fact it is very difficult.Fortunately, Zhang Ji had a good relationship with Anping Tea Shop in the past, and the shopkeeper Xu was a well-connected person. Lin Baozhu asked him to come to him. Although it was not easy to come forward directly, he also pointed out a way.If the county magistrate here can't do it, it would be better to go to Northern Qizhou to find the imperial envoy from the capital, that is, the noble person who promoted the Baijiguanchun tea to become famous in one fell swoop.

Things have come to this point, Lin Baozhu is absolutely fearless, anyway, if there is no business and the tea house is gone, it is possible to make money again, but if the man is gone, how can life be so boring?
These days, whenever she was alone at night, she couldn't help but think of her man's kindness.He doesn't like to talk and doesn't understand romance, but he is more reliable than those who talk nicely.

So, no matter what the price was, she had to save that man.

However, before she could go to the yamen to sue for justice, someone from Zhou Ji came.

I got up early that day, and before Lin Baozhu could tell me what was going on, I heard commotion outside the yard.When I went out to have a look, I saw a carriage approaching slowly.Before she could open her mouth, she saw a young man getting out of the car with a frowning look of disgust.

Then there was the middle-aged man who had just driven the carriage, but looking at his manner and clothes, he didn't look like an ordinary servant.He seems to be in charge of things all year round, and now he is going out with the young master at home.

I don't know the details of who came here, and Shi Dayong is in charge now, so naturally she doesn't need to rush to ask what's going on.

But he didn't want to wait for Shi Dayong to speak, the visitor sneered and looked at Lin Baozhu standing beside him, ignoring Shi Dayong's question at all.He opened his mouth and said with a smile on his face, "You are the head of the Zhang family? It doesn't look like anything special."
