Chapter 812 A Windfall
Helian Rongjiu didn't mean to drag her away from telling her, but Tu Xiaoduo's biological parents were far away from the capital, and it would take several days for him to send someone to confirm the round trip.
The father of Deputy Director Tu also worked in the Shangnong Bureau before.
Then Emperor Xuanhe suddenly happened to plant a peony tree where the money was buried, but he couldn't move it.
The Tu family was not short of money at that time, so they let the money continue to be buried there.
It was not until the father of Deputy Director Tu died two years ago that he told him that there was money under the peony tree.
Although there are also officials in the court of Deputy Director Tu, but the official positions are not large, they are all small officials.
He was only a deputy director of the Shangnong Bureau, and he had little monthly silver.
After his father fell ill, the family also spent a lot of money, and now they are very short of money.
I've been itching since knowing the money, but I've been hesitant.
Because there are often people patrolling around the peony tree, there is no way to start.
And the money was buried quite deep, so it would definitely take a lot of time to get it out.
He thought about it for a long time, and it was not until last month that he made up his mind. He planned to kill the peony tree first. When the tree died, there would be no more patrols here, and he would naturally have the opportunity to dig out the money.
And the peony tree is very small, as long as you put some hot water in your portable water bag, you can kill the tree in the name of checking the state of the peony tree every day, so you do it without knowing it.
The plan itself went well, but because Helian Rongjiu suddenly called Murong Lingran, things changed.
Originally, Deputy Director Tu did not take Murong Lingran seriously, but he took a look at it early the next morning and found that Murong Lingran had been healed once, and the tree was much better.
found that things were not good, and he continued to plan for a month and it was about to fail.
He was afraid of doing something wrong in person, so he threatened him with Tu Xiaoduoyuan's parents who were out of town. If he didn't do it, he would kill his parents.
Although the son-in-law of the deputy head of Tu was a rank seven petty official, it was easy to kill his parents. After all, his father didn't even have a rank, and Tu Xiaoduo couldn't do anything about it, so he was at the mercy of others.
And that day when he was so angry that he wanted to kill Murong Lingran, he also listened to the words of Deputy Director Tu. If the matter was exposed, he would find an opportunity to kill Murong Lingran, or she would save the peony tree, he would It will be hard to kill it in the future.
As for why Deputy Director Tu was the first to take over the broom that day like no one else, he was not afraid of being poisoned, but he had already guessed that the matter was exposed, but he still wanted to take a gamble, betting that the broom had been replaced .
If he passes the test, Tu Xiaoduo will definitely get rid of Murong Lingran. For the sake of his parents, he will not give himself up. Then he will get the money under the peony tree.
Murong Lingran didn't have much reaction after hearing it. She also roughly guessed that there was something under the flowerpot of the peony tree.
She just didn't expect to guess the wrong person. She thought it was Mai Zhang. After all, he was the boss here and had the best chance to attack the peony tree, but she didn't expect that it was Deputy Director Tu.
As for the fate of Deputy Director Tu and Tu Xiaoduo, Murong Lingran didn't ask any questions after that.
That tree is so important, ranging from exile at light, to capital punishment at worst, it is impossible for Helian Rongjiu to bypass them easily, so she doesn't care much.
