Jia Silian opened his hand,

"Don't bullshit..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to comb his hair and tied the hairband back on.

Mou Biao chuckled,

"I'll get you some beads and flowers to take with you another day..."

Jia Silian said hurriedly,

"Aren't you bringing trouble on me?"

No matter what kind of pearl flowers the daughter of a poor family wears, no one else will tell, but if Xiang and Jia Youchuan see them, they are afraid they will fall into their eyes and not be able to pull them out!

Mou Biao clicked his tongue and sighed,

"Tsk tsk...why is your life so miserable!"

Jia Silian responded,

"I don't feel bitter. I rely on my own hands to earn a living. As long as I can earn it, it's not bitter!"

Mou Bin stood up and stretched out his hand to pull the cloth band on her head again.

"You can't wear beads and flowers, but you can always get some nice hair ties, right?"

After saying that, without waiting for Jia Silian to respond, he waved his hand to her and led the people away.

Jia Silian looked at his back, stretched out her hand to straighten her hair,

"This man... looks less and less like a noble man now. Why is he still doing something!"

Mou Biao returned home to catch up on his sleep, and interrogated the Xiang family members again the next day. This time, he would rather kill the wrong person than let go. He first took the men aside for interrogation alone, but even Xiang Tian, ​​who was just five years old, was questioned. He didn't let it go. He just added a large piece of maltose to Tian's place. He didn't ask why. Then he asked all the female relatives of the Xiang family.

We found an interrogation room alone in this room, and the people around asked them what they did for a living on weekdays, what their monthly income was, and how they spent their money on food and clothing. Although he dressed like a nobleman, he was still young after all. He was young, he was smiling when he spoke, and he had no official authority at all, which made it easy for people to let down their guard. After saying a few words, he gave the real details to his family. Afterwards, he talked to both men and women, and he asked a lot of private matters about his family. .

Said to the old man,

"The eldest son of the family works as a coachman in a carriage shop. Since carriages and horses are both owned by carriages, he can only earn two cents of silver a month. He gave me one and a half cents..."

In fact, by running some private jobs for the horse-drawn carriages of Da Neng Car Dealer, excluding those who leave it to the car dealer, I can earn more than two yuan a month, but only one and a half yuan is given to my family, and the rest is left to my wife at home.

"This is a family man!"

Mou Biao commented:

"The second brother works as a waiter in the shop and can only earn one and a half cents a month. However, his wife is good at embroidery. She took over the work in an embroidery shop and came back to do it. She gave it to me for one and a half cents..."

In fact, the second brother sometimes received rewards from guests, and even received two coins. The second daughter-in-law’s embroidery work was large, and Old Lady Xiang knew it well, but Old Lady Xiang didn’t know she had taken it and exchanged it for copper coins. I saved some personal money.

And the third child said to the old man,

"The third child works as a handyman in the yamen and earns two taels of silver per month... give me one and a half taels of silver..."

In fact, the third son of the Xiang family helps the adults run errands in the yamen, or helps the scribes deliver official documents, etc., and can also get some reward money, three coins a month is quite enough.

From the outside, Old Man Xiang treats everyone equally. Each of his sons pays one and a half cents. However, when the eldest son gives birth to Xiang Fu and Xiang Gui, the second elder loves his eldest grandson and secretly provides a lot of support to the elders. These are the second and third eldest sons. Unknown.

This time Mou Biao found out all the old stories about Xiang's family, but he found that Xiang Da and Xiang Er were fine and both were willing to take care of the family. After that, I was left with the money in my hands. The third daughter-in-law was soft-tempered and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She only dared to ask the man for it because she had no money to spend at home.

"Where is the money you have left every month?"

Mou Biao asked Xiang San. Xiang San had an honest look on his face, an expression that you all know.

"Although we earn a lot in this yamen, we also have a lot of entertainment on weekdays, and it costs a lot to entertain our colleagues, so I have spent all of it..."

"Is it?"

Mou Biao narrowed his eyes, smiled and said,

"Even if you work in the yamen, it's easy to investigate..."

Immediately tell people,

"Go to the Yamen and ask to see who he associates with on weekdays and who he is for free..."

At that moment, someone responded and went out, smiling sarcastically at San.

"That... Young Master... I am just a little handyman, and I don't make many friends on weekdays..."

Mou Biao chuckled and slowly reached out to touch the golden knife on the table.

"You didn't say you were having a lot of fun outside just now, but now you say you don't have many friends... How come... you are just looking at me because I am so young, are you fooling me?"

While they were talking, all the warriors standing on the side stepped forward, crossed their arms and said nothing. When Xiang San saw Mou Biao pull out the golden knife from its scabbard, it was bright and cold, and his feet felt weak. He said with a bitter face,

"Master, don't do it... don't do it... I just want to say..."

I don’t know what the Jinyiwei’s yamen is like, but my family knows it best!

"The little one...the little one raised a little one outside..."

"Raising a baby?"

Mou Biao didn't believe it,

"With how much money you have per month, can you still raise a child?"

Xiang San smiled bitterly and said,

"Young master is from a wealthy family. There must be lovely slaves and beautiful maids in the family. Of course, you don't need to raise a child. I don't know that the girl from the poor family is so poor that she can serve you comfortably for seventy or eighty coppers a month..." "

After a pause he said,

"Of course...this beauty...must not be too good!"

The pretty one would have been raised by a high-ranking official and a wealthy man long ago, and it would not be his turn to be a little handyman!

In fact, he is not called support, but he is given some copper coins every month. When he went there, he was fed, drank, and taken care of to sleep. As for after he left, did the woman accept other people's coins? The man sleeping next to him, He didn’t ask any questions!

Mou Biao turned his head and glanced at the few strong men standing next to him. Someone came up and responded,

"Master, it does happen. Several men raise a mother-in-law, and they take turns passing by in a month..."

This kind of woman is much less beautiful than the one in the Goulan brothel, but she is better than the one with a half-closed door. She can only fix a few customers and not do other business, but this kind of woman is usually ordinary. Men of some status don't bother to raise them, most of them are just peddlers like Xiang San, who are either unmarried, or who dislike the women in the family because they are old and old, but don't have much money in their pockets!

"oh……"

Mou Biao suddenly nodded,

"Where does that woman live? You raised her...does anyone in the family know?"

Shaking his head to San,

"No one knows! No one knows!"

Mou Biao looked at his expression and realized that he was shaking his head too fast!

So I stared at him sideways for a long time without saying anything, until Xiang San's expression gradually changed, but he still gritted his teeth and replied,

"No... no one knows!"

Mou Biao smiled and did not ask any more questions.

"Put it down!"

The warriors on the left and right came over and took the man down. Mou Hu on the side also saw it and came over and asked,

"Master, do you think Xiang San is being dishonest?"

Mou Biao nodded, Mou Long continued,

"Even if he refuses to tell the truth, Master...it's better to put him to death..."

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the stone chamber. The walls were covered with torture instruments of different sizes. Looking at them, they were quite eager to try. Mou Biao shook his head.

"It's not time yet, let's wait a little longer!"

Immediately, they sent someone to bring back Xiang San's mistress. The woman was not very old, in her mid-twenties, she was petite and exquisite, and her appearance was really ordinary. From the perspective of young men like Mou Hu and Mou Long,

It seems that there is no redeeming feature at all, but in the eyes of the strong men who were standing by, they felt that this woman was smaller and more fleshy, and although her appearance was a bit different, she could only imagine what it was like to be on the bed after blowing the lamp.

Erying is pretty good, no wonder he can do this business!

Mou Biao looked at the trembling woman kneeling on the ground.

"How much money will you give me in March?"

The woman shook her body and replied,

"Go back to the young master...Young master, it's one...one denarius..."

"One denarius?"

Mou Biao narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly,

"This Xiang San'er is really a man. He doesn't give money to his mother-in-law and children at home, but he is willing to spend money on women outside!"

He asked again,

"Does anyone at home know about your affairs?"

The woman thought for a while and replied,
To be continued...
