The short man was very confident at this time: "I said Mayor of the town, can you pay two thousand taels, our host will have to wait for a while." ”The mayor listened and looked at the officer.The official was not waiting for the mayor to give him the money, and his hands were also eager to wave.The mayor only felt a panic in his chest, and a panic in his heart.It's just that even so, the mayor of the town had to pay these two thousand taels of silver if he was reluctant to pay this sum of silver.In the end, the mayor could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart and ordered: "Go and ask the lady to bring two thousand taels of silver." ”The short man also smiled, and also hugged his fist at the mayor: "It's still the mayor who is sensible and atmospheric." ”With the money, the officials were not happy.Suddenly, the servant swept towards a girl in the crowd.That girl herself is a little reluctant, but now she thinks that the God of Wealth has arrived, which is really cool.Two thousand taels of silver tickets, this is!
The mayor's wife was in the house, but before the good news came, she saw someone coming to ask her, which was really miserable.The mayor's wife took the silver, and the servant walked out with the silver ticket in his hand, and was instructed by the mayor to hand it to the short man, who counted it and gave half of it to the servant."
I wonder how the mayor is doing?"
At this time, Lin Xi stood up from the crowd and looked at the mayor.The mayor looked at this strange woman without any impression.Thinking of the silver he had just lost, he asked impatiently, "Is there something wrong with this girl calling me?"
”The corners of Lin Xi's mouth moved, making it clear that he was a casual spectator: "I said that this mayor is the head of the family in vain, you don't think this matter is really that simple, right?"
I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, could it be that your housekeeper sent someone to snatch back the silver, and he did it willingly?
”What he said made the mayor seem to think of something, but he was not sure."
What do you mean by that, girl?"
Mayor Marew said with a gloomy face.As soon as he saw the mayor's expression, Lin Xi knew that the mayor was not stupid."
It seems that the mayor still thinks that I don't understand what I said, then these two thousand taels of silver are indeed a lot, if they are really snatched back, is this silver really in the hands of the steward, don't forget, he is a subordinate in your house, do you say there is a master in this house?"
Lin Xi directly pointed out the problem for the mayor.The mayor of the town was almost stunned by Lin Xi's words, and there was sparks in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xi.I really don't know whose daughter came out to meddle in things."
You're lying here."
How could the mayor of the town admit Lin Xi's words.It's just that Lin Xi also retorted: "Whether I am right or not, it depends on whether my analysis is reasonable, he is just a subordinate in your house, and the two thousand taels of silver are not from him, even if he can't see it, will he make such a big move, what is the benefit of this, besides, the heart of defense is indispensable, sometimes even the closest people around you don't trust you, you should know that wealth is moving, especially the silver is not from you, I don't know if my analysis is right?"
”The mayor moved his mouth, and he wanted to say that Lin Xi was not true.A girl's family didn't go to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but instead thought about something rootless, and she really wanted to sew Lin Xi's mouth with a needle and thread."
This girl is really good at talking, but this is just your guess, since it is speculation, it must not be true, not to mention that this is our family matter, even the official took the prisoner away, do you think that the official is blind or has a problem with his brain, he will not judge who is the mastermind?"
Even if the mayor was bored, he couldn't say anything because of the presence of so many people.Where did this girl come from, she is really nosy and talkative.Looking at the mayor's face for a while, Bai for a while, Lin Xi said indifferently: "No, no, no, you can't say it, the mayor of the town, it's true that the judgment of the official is very right, but I can't stand your words, who let that housekeeper be your subordinate, his deed of sale is probably also in your hands, maybe there are still family members who are also threatened by you, otherwise how can you obediently confess for you." ”The mayor of the town is really aggrieved, he really didn't do such a thing.This strange girl is too bold.For a while, the crowd couldn't help but be curious and wanted to continue listening.And Lin Xi pretended to understand and opened his mouth wide: "Oh, I understand, maybe the truth is really like this, it must be that other people's families are in your house, so you are threatening his family, and besides, there are people who confess, where will the official still be looking for the murderer, and you are just because you are missing two thousand taels This is revenge, don't you take the county magistrate in your eyes?"
This is the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, and in broad daylight, you dare to condone the murder of the subordinates in your mansion, which is simply contempt for the magistrate, or it is your wife who instigates it. ”This can't be said nonsense, how could the mayor admit it."
You, how can you little girl say this, this is just your reverie, I have never instructed anyone to do this, it's just two thousand taels, I won't be so stingy, and as my wife, I won't do it."
The mayor said with a look of conviction."
Oh, did you ask your inner son?"
Lin Xi looked skeptical.Of course, the mayor of the town would not be so stupid to be tricked by Lin Xi.If it has been mentioned, it doesn't mean that he knew it before the next person went to rob, so that there must be someone between him and his wife who knows.No matter what, the mayor still insisted: "My wife and I have been married for eighteen years, and I don't think my wife will do such a thing." ”Lin Xi smiled, this look was really disgusting."
Oh, it seems that Mayor Mare is destined to believe your wife, but I wonder if your wife is also worthy of your trust?"
The more the mayor likes to do superficial work, the more Lin Xi likes to debunk it.Thanks to the good sons they have born, there is nothing wrong with the parents' repayment."
How is it possible, I don't believe it."
was asked by Lin Xi so continuously, and the mayor felt that his heart was on fire.Those who were caught by the officials were the right-hand men of the lady, and the mayor of the town was not blind, he already knew that it was the lady who did it.It's just that the mayor can't say it, otherwise the situation may be even more serious.Lin Xi couldn't help but be a little sarcastic: "It seems that the relationship between the mayor and your wife is very good, but your husband and wife are so affectionate, and the children born will definitely be so good, I heard that the third son in your house is very good." ”Sure enough, what kind of parents hand over what kind of son, if they weren't particularly spoiled, how could they do that kind of thing."
Whatever, Mayor of the town, I have nothing to say about you and your wife being so affectionate, but when I say this, I believe that everyone present will know what is going on, anyway, if I take out two thousand taels of silver for no reason, I must be very uncomfortable."
Lin Xi suddenly felt a little tasteless, and got up to leave.The mayor watched Lin Xi leave, and he was so angry that he wanted to scold.What does she Lin Xi mean, before leaving, she has to let everyone guess on him, this is deliberate, this person is not known to the mayor.When the matter was settled, the mayor returned to the mansion in a rage and went to the mayor's wife's room."
Get out of here."
As soon as he entered the mayor's wife's room, the mayor rudely drove them away.Those subordinates hurriedly went out, for fear that if they went out slowly, they would make the mayor angry.After everyone left, the mayor's wife also walked over and saluted the mayor: "Sir, you are here." ”The mayor didn't care about these false courtesies at all, and grabbed the hand of the mayor's wife as soon as he stepped forward.()
