The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 244 The Damned Indenture

"This is what that old thief Zhou hid in the bookcase. One time, I stayed in the study to serve him. In the middle of the night, he thought I was asleep and secretly took it out from the secret compartment. Although I didn't have much strength, my eyesight was very good, so I remembered how he took it out. This time when I escaped, I somehow thought of this booklet, so I took it with me."

Guan Xiao smiled bitterly and continued, "I didn't expect that old thief Zhou valued this book so much. We were discovered right after we escaped. Xiaoyue and Ah Hong held those people back, and I was the only one who escaped."

Su He took it and looked at it without hesitation. Why did it look so familiar? It was like the account book of Landlord Jin's family.

"Does Zhou have any private dealings with Dali?"

Guan Xiao looked at Su He blankly, "Dali? I don't know, I can't read."

Su He was a little shocked. "Why did you steal it if you can't read? Didn't you say you wanted to use it to report to the police?"

Guan Xiao quickly explained, "It was Xiaoyue. When I sneaked out, Xiaoyue took a few glances. She told me that this was very important and asked me to report it to the police. Before I could ask her, the Zhou family's servants found us. Later, Xiaoyue died."

Guan Xiao cried sadly. Sometimes, she would rather be the dead one.

Su He thought for a long time with a gloomy face, then looked up at Guan Xiao and said, "You can't go out these few days. The people in Zhou Mansion must be watching you now. Xiaobai, go cook, and we'll go out as usual."

Liu Bai nodded and left.

"I'll keep this account book. You'll stay in my room for the next few days. If anyone breaks in, you'll hide in the closet."

Guan Xiao secretly regretted his own uselessness, "They drugged me, and I have no strength these days. When I recover, I can beat three people."

Su He raised an eyebrow, "That's the best, you take a good rest these two days, I will find a way to take care of the rest."

It was only half past six and Su He was no longer sleepy. She went to the kitchen to wait for breakfast.

"Xiao Bai, there is something wrong with the Zhou family. Now that I know about it, I can't pretend nothing happened. Do you think Ge Zhongheng can be trusted?"

"The richest place in the south is Guangyuan, and this is the emperor's maternal clan. The emperor must have sent his own people to manage this place. I heard that Ge Zhongheng has been the county magistrate here for six years, and this time he will stay for another three years, so he should be trustworthy."

Su He breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why don't we give him the booklet?"

Liu Bai was somewhat helpless, “Hehua, we must know when we go to the government office to hand over the Zhou Mansion. If the Zhou Mansion does not fall completely this time, we will be retaliated. Our clansmen are ordinary people and cannot escape.”

Su He had a headache. "How about we go secretly at night?"

"I'll go. We won't go back to the village today. We'll leave tomorrow."

Su He had no objection. She had originally planned to let Xiaobai go, and she herself couldn't get in.

The two of them hurriedly finished their breakfast, then delivered food for the day to Guan Xiao, closed the door and left.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Su He always feels like someone is following him.

Liu Bai drove the carriage to Zhao's house skillfully. This time, Su He walked very fast without anyone urging him.

"Mother Zhang, did you miss me?"

Although she was anxious, Su He still teased Zhang's mother out of habit.

"I'm too busy making money to think about you."

Zhang's mother's familiar rolling eyes made Su He relax all of a sudden.

"Are you too cruel to me? I almost didn't see you yesterday."

Mother Zhang looked at Su He in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Alas, I was almost kidnapped yesterday."

Su He sighed, "Yesterday my brother and I went to the night market, but we were stopped on the way home. The group of people looked fierce and ferocious, as if they were looking for someone. I said it wasn't me, but they insisted on taking me back. My brother knows some martial arts, so they beat them away. When they left, I heard them calling the leader, Manager Zhou."

Mother Zhang confirmed in disbelief, "They actually kidnapped a woman in broad daylight? Manager Zhou? There must be such a manager in every mansion, and we can't find him right now."

"What can't you find? You two are always gossiping behind my back. Can't you wait for me?"

Chen was lying lazily on the chaise longue. After not seeing her for a few days, she looked rounder.

Su He quickly recounted what he had just said.

When Chen heard the name "Manager Zhou", she immediately concluded that he was the manager of the Zhou residence.

"It must be from the Zhou Mansion. This family has no rules. Zhou Tianfu is an old pervert. All the maids in the mansion who are a little neat have been corrupted by him."

Su He thought that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. The master is not good, and the servants are even more rubbish. "This morning, the people from Zhou's house reported to the police and asked the police to search my house. They insisted that I took in the maid who stole money from their house. Fortunately, the police who came were kind and did not smash my things."

Chen sat up suddenly. "They asked the police to search your house? Why is the Zhou family so against you? Is it related to the person they were looking for yesterday?"

Su He gave a thumbs up in admiration, then looked around deliberately, moved the stool next to Chen and asked quietly.

"I heard that the one who escaped took something from Master Zhou."

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang were both excited. Oh my God, what was it?

"It shouldn't be a seal or something like that. It would be useless for this maid to take it."

Mrs. Chen still lacked imagination. Mother Zhang frowned and thought hard.

"Isn't this evidence of his corruption?"

Mother Zhang slapped her thigh and said excitedly.

"Is Mr. Zhou an official in the government?"

Su He's words immediately poured cold water on Zhang's mother. Yes, corruption only happens when you have an official position. How could he, a rich man with nothing to do, commit corruption?

"That's not corruption, but it's definitely not something that can be seen in the open."

Mother Zhang said confidently.

What can a wealthy man who is idle do that is not worthy of being seen in public, lending money at high interest? Or,

"Collaboration?"

"spy?"

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang gasped.

"Madam, Madam Zhang, I was wondering, is the person they are looking for really a maid in their house? Our village is relatively close to the disaster victims. Now these disaster victims are all in a village called Bianguan Village. Several girls in Bianguan Village have disappeared. What do you think, could it be that they were abducted by Master Zhou?"

Su He's unintentional guidance allowed Chen and the other man to touch the truth.

"It's possible. This old pervert is well-known in the county. Most human traffickers are unwilling to do business with him. Their mansion is short of maids every month. This beast has killed many people."

Although Chen has only been here for a year, she is well-informed about the news regarding her son's business.

"Then Master Zhou is quite rich, and he buys maids every month."

Mother Zhang on the side snorted coldly, "No matter how rich you are, you can't compare to our Zhao family. We are the number one taxpayer and well-known in the eyes of the county magistrate. You can't compare to this kind of nobody."

Chen agreed, "Ayuan is right. I remember the Zhou Mansion sent out invitations last month, saying they were going to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet. Even though it was hosted by Madam Zhou, I feel sick just thinking about this old pervert."

Mother Zhang also agreed, "Young lady is right, I will find the invitation and burn it in a moment, we can't let it pollute our house."

Su He had a headache. She shouldn't have given Zhang's mother a chance to show off. Where did this topic lead to?

Su He hesitated for a while, but decided to give it another try.

"Madam, did you suspect he was a spy just now? What do you think we should do if he really is a spy?"

"What should we do? Collaboration with the enemy and treason means beheading."

Chen looked at Su He strangely. Why was there any need to ask such an obvious question?

"Will the magistrate take care of that? I heard that the Zhou Mansion also pays a lot of taxes. Of course, I know that compared to our Zhao Mansion, the Zhou Mansion is rubbish."

When Su He saw that Zhang's mother was about to open her mouth again, she quickly spoke to comfort her.

After hearing the last sentence, Mother Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

"I can't guarantee other places, but Magistrate Ge will take care of it. He is the emperor's confidant. He will never let go of anyone who threatens Dayong. Just look at how much the emperor trusts him, as he was re-elected for three terms in Guangyuan."

Chen knew the answer to this question. Her second son had told her that it was right to provide retirement care in Guangyuan. With Magistrate Ge in charge, she could rest assured.

"Why didn't Magistrate Ge do anything when Master Zhou murdered the maids in the mansion?"

Chen rolled her eyes at Su He, "You said she was a maid. She has signed a contract to sell herself. Her life and death are decided by her master. Magistrate Ge has no control over it. But if he really robbed the victims into the government, Magistrate Ge would not stand idly by."

Su He sighed in her heart, what a damn indenture, luckily she redeemed herself.

"Then Magistrate Ge is indeed a good official."

Su He felt it was great that at least in Guangyuan, there was a piece of pure land.
