Chapter 217 Five taels of silver a night (5)
"Grandma, it's not good if others see this thing, don't worry, I'll definitely show it out for everyone to see when a buyer comes up." How could she take out the nothingness?This is just a good way to lure the snake out of the hole.

The old lady was a little disappointed, but in order not to cause trouble, she didn't insist anymore.

The golden pearl hairpin worth a thousand taels of silver quickly spread throughout Lin Town, and naturally reached Li Zheng's ears.

"What happened to the old Xiao's family? How did this golden pearl hairpin fall into the hands of these people?" Li Zheng was extremely puzzled.

Xiao Luo thought for a while and said, "Maybe they picked it up on the ground."

"I still picked up your mother on you." Li Zheng was furious and kicked Xiao Luo hard.

Xiao Luo curled his lips aggrievedly, "My mother is at home, not on the ground."

Li Zheng didn't care what he said, he was all thinking about what was going on, the old Xiao's family had no power and no money, but he didn't know how Xiao Zhiqing had it in just half a year. Such an achievement.But since the entire forest town and even the entire Pingcheng are unique things, how could it fall into his hands?This question is well worth investigating.

"Let me ask you, when will Master Ma arrive?"

"I'll definitely be there tonight." Xiao Luo was worried that Li Zheng would kick him again, so he hurriedly and carefully moved his body.

"When Mr. Ma arrives, I will ask Mr. Ma what to do about this matter. Maybe the old Xiao's family stole this golden pearl hairpin." Li Zhengyin said harshly.

Xiao Luo nodded sharply, thought for a while and said, "But, my lord, could it be that Master Zhang is here to send you here?"

You must know that Mr. Zhang came from the capital, not to mention his wealth, even his power is incomparable to others.If Master Zhang really sent it, no one else could say anything, even if County Magistrate Zhang came, it wouldn't help, let alone Master Ma.

"Is this possible?" Li Zheng asked.

The little guy thought for a while and said, "Didn't that guard come here today? I sent someone to follow him, and he went to Xiao's Village to find someone from the old Xiao's family."

Li Zheng's face became more and more ugly, he didn't expect the old Xiao family to know such a big man at this time.If so, it will be difficult.After all, such a backer is stronger than his backer.

"Anyway, go and find out where they hid the golden pearl hairpin for me right away, and then take it back secretly. I want to see what the old Xiao's family is capable of." For the old Xiao family, then the loss of the golden pearl hairpin this time will definitely make the higher-ups blame.When the time comes... Humph, the old Xiao family will no longer be able to hide.

"Yes, my lord." The little guy immediately responded, if it was really a golden pearl hairpin worth a thousand taels of silver, he would be rewarded with several taels of silver after he got it.

"By the way, take that batch of goods and bring them back to me. If you don't get them back, watch how I deal with you." Pass.

"Yes."

After Mr. Ma arrived, Li Zheng immediately greeted people with a smile on his face, personally greeted Mr. Ma to sit down, poured tea and explained that he did it himself.

"Master Ma came from afar, and he has a heart."

Master Ma snorted coldly, if it wasn't for his cousin's family who died unjustly, he would never have come here.The old Xiao family has done too much, he wants to seek justice for his cousin!

"what happened?"

"It's like this..." Li Zheng immediately told Mr. Ma what happened in the past two days with embellishments, and then said, "Master Ma, I heard that the old Xiao's family was involved in the incident in Majia Village. Sigh , You said that the old Xiao family has been arrogant for so many years, and they still want to be arrogant in front of you, isn't that not taking you seriously?"

In fact, the reason why he donated such an official position as Lizheng at the beginning was entirely dependent on Master Ma's help.It can also be said that he has been hanging on the tree of Master Ma all his life.But think about it, if he could avenge his son, he would be willing to work for Master Ma for the rest of his life!

Master Ma snorted angrily, with a ferocious face, "Xiao Zhiqing thinks his life is too long, right?"

"That's right, that's right, I think so too. But Mr. Ma, Xiao Zhiqing has already gone north to do business. I heard that he went to Lingcheng to do business. I don't know what happened, so he still took the waterway." Li Zheng I also know that the person Master Ma hates the most is Xiao Zhiqing, if Master Ma is angry and starts to attack Xiao Zhiqing, he will be considered to have made a profit.

"Just after the fire broke out in the mausoleum, he went to the mausoleum to do business?" Master Ma was a little puzzled.

"Isn't it? This time I'm still dealing in timber. Do you think this person is out of his mind?"

Master Ma narrowed his eyes slightly. When he was in Pingcheng, the little girl clearly said that she knew how to refine salt is the best, but in the blink of an eye she told the county magistrate that she didn't know such a thing at all.But now, Mr. Zhang, the salt officer, has completed his mission and returned to Beijing ahead of schedule. What does this mean?
That little girl was just playing with them!

And Mr. Zhang has returned to Beijing, so it will be a matter of time before the county magistrate is replaced.

So he had to find a way out for himself, otherwise, if the new county magistrate was a ruthless person, wouldn't he be out of luck?

"How long have you been there?"

"I guess it will be almost ten days?" Li Zheng was not very sure, he could only estimate.

"You fly a pigeon to send a letter to Pingcheng immediately, tell Magistrate Zhang about this matter, and let Magistrate Zhang decide." Master Ma said immediately, "By the way, think of a way to charge Xiao Zhiqing with a crime, and I want him to go to court for nothing. back."

Have gone and never returned?

Li Zheng's body trembled, and then his eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded, "I understand, I'll do it now."

After Fei Ge finished passing on the letter, Li Zheng immediately asked for credit, "Master Ma, I heard that Lao Xiao's family has hidden a gold pearl hairpin, but it is worth a thousand taels of silver."

Master Ma's eyes lit up immediately.

"I have already reported to County Magistrate Zhang. If County Magistrate Zhang finds out that Lao Xiao's family hides such a gold pearl hairpin, he will definitely lose his temper. By then...hehehe, Lao Xiao's family will definitely suffer .” Li Zheng smiled wretchedly.

Master Ma immediately kicked over, and then said, "Be serious, I, if something goes wrong with this matter, you should know what to do."

Li is busy answering yes yes yes.

However, at this moment, the officers and soldiers outside the gate came to report that someone had come from Pingcheng.

Is Pingcheng coming again?

Li Zheng was slightly taken aback, "Could it be that County Magistrate Zhang is here?"

Master Ma didn't think so, thinking about the people he met when he went out today, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
