Chapter 21 My Mother's Money Can Talk (Part 2)
When Chu Nanzhi and his party returned home, Lin Jinxiao had already appeased the second and fourth treasures. Seeing that she had brought back the first and third treasures, he immediately felt much more at ease.
Chu Nanzhi first greeted Li Zheng and the villagers to sit down in the yard, and went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water by herself.
Lin Jinxiao couldn't figure out why she was going crazy again. I was really worried that she would do something embarrassing in front of so many people. If she started to fight again, he wouldn't be able to help him. In the end, he would be the one who suffered the most. family.
He knows that Chen's family is very clear in his heart. It is only because they feel that their legs are lame now that they dare to act so recklessly. They will naturally have to stay far away when their legs are free.
So we must not just sit and watch this crazy woman cause trouble again without thinking and hurt himself and the little treasures. He turned into the kitchen with a sullen face, and cursed:
"What are you going to do, Lizheng and so many villagers have come, are you trying to make a joke, don't you know that Erlang is a rascal? What can you get by haggling with him?"
"You don't care about my mother's affairs."
He is lame but he is not lame, Chu Nanzhi glared at him viciously:
Dare to steal money from a criminal policeman in broad daylight, is that worth it?
"I'm not someone to mess with."
If the family is really in trouble, and someone who has a good deal to discuss with me, she may be able to give some money to help them.
But that family is really hateful.
First let the daughter and daughter-in-law come over to ask for money, but now they just steal it.
What a rascal!
If there is no punishment, these people may really think that she is easy to bully.
She couldn't tolerate such sand in her eyes.
As a criminal policeman in her previous life, her responsibility was to bring the wicked to justice and let the wicked stand trial.
After waiting for the water to boil, she ignored Lin Jinxiao and poured the boiling water into the wooden bucket, and carried it out.
Liu Qingbo, Lin Jinhong and all the villagers saw her bring out a bucket of water and didn't know what she was trying to do.
Lin Jinhong had a cold face, as if he had lost his patience: "Chu Nanzhi, are you sick? You said you could make Yinzi talk, so let him talk like this? Are you playing with me?"
"Why are you so anxious, if it's your money, it won't be able to escape."
Chu Nanzhi stretched out her hand and signaled, "Bring the silver."
Lin Jinhong was a little reluctant, fearing that she would take the opportunity to steal the money.
Liu Lizheng folded his arms and said thoughtfully: "Everyone is watching, what are you worried about?"
Lin Jinhong had no choice but to hand over the money to Chu Nanzhi in a vague manner.
Chu Nanzhi took advantage of the opportunity and threw the silver and gold into the barrel.
Seeing this, Lin Jinhong sneered disapprovingly: "You crazy woman, you are seriously ill. Do you think Yinzi will recognize you as its master if you give Yinzi a hot bath?"
At this time, Chu Nanzhi didn't have the heart to pay attention to him, and just looked at the hot water with gold and silver in it.
People are forced to do this, and they have to find ways to prove their own money, which shows how abhorrent this world is.
After a while, she asked Liu Qingbo slowly and generously: "Can Liu Li see any changes in the water?"
Liu Qingbo observed carefully in the water for a long time, but he didn't see anything.
Lin Jinhong and the others came to look around, but they couldn't understand this woman.
At this time, Xiao Sibao broke away from Lin Jinxiao who had been gloomy all the time, and ran over to the bucket for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at the crowd, pointed into the bucket and said in surprise:
"Wow, you see, there is a thick layer of oil foam floating on the surface of the water, um."
Sniffed it carefully: "There is still a little fragrance, the same taste as the cake we ate two days ago."
Liu Qingbo and the others went to look again, and they saw a thick layer of oil foam floating on the water.
Liu Qingbo moved his nose to the side of the bucket, and sniffed it carefully: "It smells like a smell of mutton, and there is also the fragrance of some miscellaneous grains."
Because of being highly valued by Mr. Nie, he had the honor to accompany Mr. Nie to the county to eat roast lamb several times. He still remembers the taste of it.
Seeing a group of people pretending to be ghosts here, Lin Jinhong choked unreasonably: "So what, does this prove that the money belongs to this wicked woman?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Chu Nanzhi angrily: "This wicked woman has sworn that Yinzi can speak."
Chu Nanzhi shook off his hand and said sharply, "It's already talking."
"Have you spoken?"
Everyone gathered around the barrel and listened carefully for a while, but they were still helpless.
Chu Nanzhi smiled wryly, and could only patiently explain:
"Lin Erlang said that the money was won from the casino. The money in the casino was rubbed by the gamblers all day long. It should be very smooth and clean. How could it produce such a thick layer of oil foam when it was put into the water, and there were sheep Smell."
"yes."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Jinhong suspiciously.
Lin Jinhong smiled awkwardly: "It may be a coincidence, or it may be."
After finishing speaking, he pointed the finger at Chu Nanzhi: "Then how can you prove that the money is yours? Could it be based on the smell of sheep and the words of a few brats?"
Then he looked specifically at Lin Jinxiao who was sitting by the eye stone table: "I'm afraid my elder brother won't tolerate you, a vile woman, accusing my own brother like this."
"If you think children's words are not trustworthy, the oil foam and the smell of mutton can already explain everything."
Chu Nanzhi casually took out the cloth bag containing silver from his arms: "Erlang should be familiar with this cloth bag, right?"
Lin Jinhong doesn't like mutton. Although he has never been to the teahouse in the county that sells mutton cakes, he has certainly seen this cloth bag.
Just now, he felt that the cloth bag was sticky and smelly, so he only took away the silver and discarded the cloth bag in the cabin.
Never thought that this woman could make such a fuss with such a rag bag.
But until the last moment, he would not admit it even if he was killed, he hesitated and said: "So what, it's just a cloth bag, what can it explain?"
"With your IQ, you dare to play rogue with me."
Chu Nanzhi smiled angrily: "Just now, the Four Treasures have mentioned that they ate mutton cakes at home a few days ago. You should smell the bag carefully."
She brought the cloth bag to Lin Jinhong's nose, and the rogue quickly covered his nose.
Chu Nanzhi gave the bag to Liu Qingbo and the villagers to smell it again, nodded and said, "It smells like mutton and cakes."
"A few days ago, I helped the magistrate solve the case, and the magistrate rewarded me with forty taels of silver and one tael of gold. I think many people know about this."
Chu Nanzhi explained in detail:
"That day, when I came out of the county office, I was very hungry, so I went to the teahouse and spent two liang of silver to buy some mutton cakes. When I got home, I put the remaining silver in this cloth bag, which was soaked in water. The fat of mutton has the fragrance of cakes, and the silver will naturally be covered with the fragrance of fat and miscellaneous grains after being placed in a cloth bag for several days, so Mr. Lizheng smelled it just now."
Of course, she had to admit that Little Sibao was too smart to discover the mystery first.
Liu Qingbo was enlightened when he heard that, and nodded contentedly.
What made him happy was not only that the woman gave him a satisfactory explanation, but also that he finally saw the first person who could take back the money from this rascal with real skills.
In today's matter, even if it was me, I'm afraid I can only suffer from being dumb.
He had to admire the witty mind of this woman.
Faintly, he began to realize that this woman was deliberately pretending to be stupid in front of Chang Lao yesterday.
But what Chu Nanzhi said was well-founded and logically clear, and the villagers were very convinced. Qiqi turned his attention to Lin Jinhong:
"Lin Erlang, you are really heartless. Your elder brother treats you well. If you don't take a look at his family's catastrophe, you don't help him when his leg is injured like this. You even bully his family. Desperate for goodness."
Liu Qingbo was also so angry that his face was sullen, and he yelled at Lin Jinhong with his angry eyes wide open:
"Lin Erlang, what else can you say? Mrs. Chu has clearly explained the ins and outs of the silver. If the amount of silver on your body coincides with hers, could it be that you also ate mutton cakes by coincidence? Is there silver in the mutton bag?"
