Chapter 153

"The imperial court is quite generous, allocated 5000 taels of silver, and ordered the subordinates to build a better post station. I don't know how many princes and princes will pass here in the future. I heard that the emperor may come. I want to go to Suzhou for a visit. .If a post station is built, it will save the money of the Construction Bank Palace. The imperial court is someone who knows how to plan. But... the 5000 taels of silver are only 3000 taels of silver left in the hands of the county magistrate."

Qian Feng was taken aback, "Master Qu means...someone got greedy?"

Master Qu nodded, "You are not allowed to speak out about this matter, otherwise you will implicate the magistrate, and you will be beheaded!"

Qian Feng couldn't help but sigh, it seems that corrupt officials are indispensable in every dynasty, and there are only 5000 taels left for 3000 taels. Among them, those who are greedy for money must have a big appetite to dare to swallow it, they are really not afraid of death.Of course, maybe the county magistrate himself was greedy for a share.

Qian Feng sighed for a while, and then said: "3000 taels of silver is not a lot. We should have saved thousands of taels of silver in the county treasury in recent years, right? My money is like a drop in the bucket. There is no need for the government to drag me around. No money."

Mr. Qu coughed a few times, "You have a lot of money, I heard that it is worth more than 70 taels of silver, the shopkeeper of Nanmen Shipu earned five taels of silver, and you still have nearly 70 taels of silver, and now you are spending money to build a post station Like flowing water, you are not too small."

Qian Feng understood Master Qu's meaning, "Although it doesn't sound too small, I still have 50 people to support, and each of them has to send hundreds of articles, so there is not much left for the seventy coins. Master Qu, oh No...Brother, as long as the money is in hand, I will pay the county [-] cents a year as agreed last time, and I will hand it over immediately, and the small amount from Big Brother will also be indispensable."

Mr. Qu rolled his eyes, "This matter...it's really not easy to handle, but I will go and talk to the county magistrate, can the gentleman in charge of the account transfer some money from other places, but...I explained it last time Why are you silent about it?"

"What's the matter?" Qian Feng was a little confused.

"What about the pear blossom! My mother-in-law will return to her mother's house in a few days. If she hears that pear blossom is pregnant, she doesn't know how angry she will be. How many children are there in my family? I can't lose my mother. Pear blossom recently Did she go back to her natal family, did she mess with any wild man?"

Qian Feng had long forgotten about this matter. At that time, the family was in chaos for a long time because of his brother's affairs. Who still remembers what happened to Lihua.

But he didn't dare to say that he didn't care about it, but patted his thigh and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, brother, I've been letting my mother-in-law's family pay attention to this matter. How dare I not take care of what my brother told me? I My father-in-law’s house is just a few steps away from Lihua’s mother’s house, and my father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law stared closely at her, and Lihua only went back to her mother’s house once, without even leaving the gate!”

"Really?" Mr. Qu looked at Qian Feng like that, it didn't seem like he was telling a lie.

"Little brother dares to fool big brother. The reason why I didn't come to tell big brother is because there is nothing wrong and I don't need to talk about it. If there is something wrong, I would have come to the door a long time ago!"

Master Qu felt relieved now, "Well, since this is the case, I will accompany my mother-in-law to Yinshan Town in a few days. If Lihua is not pregnant, my father-in-law will also drive her back to her mother's house. This time My mother-in-law no longer has to worry about this matter so much that she can't sleep, and I can send someone to investigate the case, if Lihua is really the murderer, she can only wait to die."

Qian Feng didn't like it when he heard it. This won't be an unjust case, right?
