Chapter 67 Punishing the Evil Nuluo Creek(1/2)

When she sent Ji Yun out, Song Ruoxi did not go to the kitchen immediately. Although she didn't know why Ji Yun asked her to deal with this matter, since she wanted to deal with it, she would use the fruit plate as a guide to peel off the silk and find out what Zhuyuan did in the mansion...

So what if Zhuyuan has the ability to do things? Can she be arrogant and blessed? Can she bully others at will? Ji Yun has the ability and can have a way. As long as she can catch a mouse, she dares to keep it by her side no matter whether it is a cat or a dog. But she believes that she can't control it and can't stand it. She still uses a loyal and honest person, even if she has a bad ability.

Song Ruoxi called Tao's mother in and said in a deep voice: "Madam Tao, the matter of Guopan is not over yet. My wife wants me to find out about this matter. Tell me honestly, did you break the Guopan?"

"Second girl, I can swear to the sky. Everything I say is true. If there is half a lie, I wish to go to the eighteen levels of hell and never be reborn." Tao Mom knelt on the ground, regardless of the wound on her forehead, and knocked heavily, "The fruit plate was not broken by the old slave."

"Madam Tao, get up first. I ask you something. You don't have to kneel down. Just answer truthfully and I will be done." The ancients cared about the oath. When they heard Tao's oaths like this, Song Ruoxi believed that she would not lie.

"Thank you, Miss Second, I must tell the truth." Tao Ma stood up tremblingly and half-beared.

"When was the fruit plate broken? Who was the first to find out that it was broken? Who told Zhuyuan?"

"If you go back to the girl, the fruit plate was broken this morning. It was the first time that the kitchen manager Luo Yougui's family discovered it, and it was also what she told Zhu's mother."

There is Luo Yougui’s family in everything, and Song Ruoxi’s eyes flashed slightly, “Have you ever offended Luo Yougui’s family?”

Tao's mother smiled bitterly and said, "Girl, I'm doing things under her, so how dare I offend her."

"Think about it carefully, have you offended her?"

Tao's mother thought for a while and said, "When the girl said, I was so angry a few days ago that I had a fight with her."

"What's the matter?"

"If you say the girl, she will withhold the old slave's monthly money."

"What mistake did you make? She wants to deduct your monthly money?"

"When it comes to the girl, Lao Nu did not commit a crime. Luo Yougui's family relied on the management of the kitchen to take the money to honor her every month. Usually, she deducted Lao Nu's monthly money. In order not to lose her job, the old slave had to endure it. But this time, she deducted Lao Nu's two hundred cents and only gave Lao Nu 200 cents. Lao Nu didn't even have enough money to buy medicine for his grandson, let alone this month's chewing, so she went to her to argue with her. In order to ask her to return the money to Lao Nu, Lao Nu said that she would go to her wife to tell her about the money she was greedy for money in the mansion by purchasing rice and grain." Tao's mother was just honest, not stupid, and she vaguely guessed that this matter was related to Luo Yougui's family, so she told her to take the power of the second girl to get rid of Luo Yougui's family.

"Do you say she is greedy for money, but is there any evidence?" Song Ruoxi asked.

"If you say it to the girl, I have no evidence." Tao Ma was just a rough woman. After working in the kitchen for a long time, she saw some clues and wanted to come up with actual evidence but didn't.

Song Ruoxi thought for a while and said, "You go back to the kitchen to do things first, don't say anything. As long as you tell the truth, I will find a way to help you get back the monthly money."

"Thank you, Miss Second, I know, I will never ruin the girl's big affairs." A hint of joy appeared in Tao Ma's turbid eyes.

"You go!" Song Ruoxi smiled faintly.

After sending Tao's mother away, Song Ruoxi called the maids in and said, "Qinghe, go to the account office and bring me the account book in the kitchen."

"Yes, girl." Qinghe bent her knees and left the yard, but did not go to the account, but went around in circles and went to Ji Yun's yard.

"Madam, Qinghe is here." Rong Qiao said softly to Ji Yun, who was leaning against the soft couch and closed her eyes to rest.

Ji Yun opened her eyes and said, "Let her come in."

Qinghe entered the inner room and bowed and said, "Madam, after asking Tao's mother in and asked me to go to the account room to get the account book in the kitchen."

Ji Yunhan nodded with a smile and said, "Rong Qiao will give the account book to Qinghe."

Rong Qiao took out a book of accounts from the box on the desk and handed them to Qinghe. Qinghe took the book of accounts and went out for a circle before returning to the yard where Song Ruoxi lived.

Ji Yun said comfortably: "I made up my mind and then moved, but my Xi'er did not disappoint me."

"The second girl was born by a wife, and she is smart and capable, and she follows her wife." Rong Qiao said flatteringly.

Song Ruoxi had never learned accounting in modern times, and when he traveled here, although An Yu taught her a lot of things, he didn't teach her about the account check. Fortunately, the silkworm still understood a little bit. Besides, Ji Yun had already done a clever trick on this account book, and each one was clearly listed. The two soon discovered the problem.

"A chicken costs one tael of silver. What did this chicken grow up with? It's so expensive." Silkworm sneered.

"This ginger is also quite expensive, and it costs twenty cents per pound." Although Song Ruoxi had never bought vegetables, he could calculate the price just by looking at the monthly money of the subordinates in the mansion. The price of this vegetable is too expensive.

The kitchen has always been the place where the most oily and water is the most abundant, including rice, grain, oil and salt, and the vegetables and meat purchased daily. As long as the price is higher, the amount will be increased, and a month will be a large amount.

The kitchen withdraws silver from the accountant every month to be responsible for the diet of the Song Mansion. According to this account book, the custom of the mansion is that the wife’s dishes are six dishes, one soup, three meat and three vegetables; the girl and the young master’s dishes are five dishes, one soup, three meat and two vegetables; the few aunts have four dishes, one soup, two meat and two vegetables; the eldest maids and managers in each courtyard have three dishes, one soup, one meat and two vegetables; the second-class maids have two dishes, one soup, and two meat and two vegetables; the rest of the maids and servants go to the cafeteria to eat. Where can the master go to eat, add one meat and two vegetables. The family eats dinner in the flower hall, eight dishes, two soup, four meat and four vegetables.

If you follow the price of the vegetable in the account, you will have more than ten taels of silver this day, and Song Sui's salary cannot afford to support this family, which also means that Ji Yun has no money to earn.

This is not a small matter of breaking the fruit plate, but it has become a major matter of in charge of deficiencies and corruption in the kitchen. Both of them were very happy, and they didn't think about why such an obvious problem was so obvious. Ji Yun didn't notice it?

Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly and asked, "Sannen, these people are all old fried dough sticks. If they don't admit it, they may have to work hard for you. Can you do a heavy move?"

"Don't worry, girl, I won't let you down." Cannibal knew that this was the time when Song Ruoxi established her authority, and that she also established that she was a capable person around Song Ruoxi.

"Then don't waste time, let's get rid of this matter." Song Ruoxi took Cannibal, Xiangwen, Mint Green Lotus, Liu Siniang and Tao's mother to the kitchen, intentionally not bringing Xiangxiu and vanilla. They have lived in the temple for a long time and are simple-minded, afraid that they will not accept such pickled things for the time being.

Luo Yougui's heart skipped a beat and hurriedly said, "I am not guilty. I am loyal to my wife and will never do anything shameful."

"Since that's the case, just stand aside and listen. Don't talk nonsense here anymore and delay my questioning." Song Ruoxi said lightly.

Luo Yougui's family was speechless and had to stand beside him.

"Who is responsible for purchasing?" Song Ruoxi asked slowly.

Two men and two women stood out from the queue and saluted, "If you go back to the girl, you will be a servant (small one)."

"Who can tell me what to raise this chicken with one or two silver?" Song Ruoxi asked with a raised eyebrow.

All four of them said nothing, and their lower eyes were secretly aiming at Luo Yougui's family.

Song Ruoxi sneered, his eyes slightly turned, "There is a saying that goes, "Be honest and lenient, and resist and strict."

The four of them were hesitant. How much did the second girl find out? Should they say it?

"You think about it carefully. Anyway, this place is not far from the street, so it is not difficult to find a chicken and vegetable seller to ask." Song Ruoxi put the cup on the round table, "It's just a little bit of trouble, but since I want to investigate, I'm not afraid of this."

"Girl, a chicken is only sold in fifty cents on the market." The slightly thinner woman among the four people measured it and decided to defect to Song Ruoxi, kneeling down and said.

Song Ruoxi's mouth twitched slightly. Luo Yougui's family was so greedy. The prices of the Fujian country could be exchanged for one tael of silver. She was greedy for nine hundred and fifty cents for a chicken. I don't know how much money she was greedy for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. No wonder she was so fat.

Someone started, and the other three people quickly handed over the offer. When the most expensive glutinous vegetables were sold for eight cents, but when they reported it, they were twenty cents per pound, and twelve cents per pound were greedy for twelve cents. Luo Yougui's family was really a geese to pluck her hair, and even a few cents per pound of firewood, she was greedy for silver. Of course, the four people also cleared their relationship and said that the price was all determined by Luo Yougui's family, and said that if they didn't do as Luo Yougui's family, they would not be a job.

"I didn't expect that there was a mouse at home." Song Ruoxi laughed sarcastically, "It's still big and fat."

"Girls, they are framed by me. They all reimbursed these prices. I didn't notice them for a while and fell in love with them. If I were wrong, I will definitely check it carefully in the future." Luo Yougui's family defended me.

The four of them tried their best to deny it, pushing the whole story to Luo Yougui's family, and telling them what they gave to Luo Yougui's family in order to save their jobs.

"Girls, they are wrongly accusing their servants." Luo Yougui's family kowtowed.

Song Ruoxi would not let her go easily. The most important thing is that before he pulled Zhuyuan in, he said, "Mama Tao, tell me what you know."

Tao's mother walked out of the queue and knelt on the ground. She told everyone about the matter of giving Zhuyuan a generous gift during the Chinese New Year, deducting everyone's monthly money, and beating and scolding everyone at will.

Few people who were in charge were fools. Seeing this, they knew that Luo Yougui's family had committed a crime. The second girl wanted to establish her authority with others, and they all made a statement to prove Luo Yougui's family. The public was in a hurry for a while, and the crimes of Luo Yougui's family were endless.

Some people even gave examples to prove that "Second Miss, last month, Luo Yougui's family asked me to deliver things to Zhu's mother. Zhu's mother was scolding people, and the porridge and bowls were placed on the ground. I recognized it as a bowl of blood swallow porridge. Blood swallows have always been eaten by my wife. Luo Yougui's family stole the blood swallow porridge that I ate for my wife to respect Zhu's mother."

"Miss Second Girl, at the beginning of the year, the old lady in the in-laws in Beijing sent a few branches of good ginseng to her wife. Luo Yougui's family hid two branches and gave one branch to Zhu's mother. The other branch was sold for the price, and she got one hundred taels of silver."

"I don't have any, I'm wronged." Everyone pushed the wall down, and it was all true. Luo Yougui's family couldn't defend themselves, so they tried their best to shout for justice.

"Is it wronged?" Song Ruoxi sneered, "Are you saying that everyone wronged you? You didn't do these things?"

"Miss, I didn't do it, I really didn't do it." Luo Yougui's family was lying on the ground, sweating profusely, and refused to admit it.

"You really don't cry until you see the coffin." Song Ruoxi glanced at the silkworm girl.

The silkworm girl understood and walked over and saw her fat body. It was too difficult to press the acupoints and could not scare people. She removed two arms of Luo Yougui's family. The severe pain made her tears fall instantly, and her rosy fat face was as pale as paper.

Everyone in the yard was shocked, including Song Ruoxi, and Canniang was very strong. But others thought from this that there was such a cruel person around Miss Second, and Miss Second was not a kind person, so it would be better to be honest.

"You'd better tell the matter obediently, otherwise you'll drag these two arms for the rest of your life." Song Ruoxi felt a little reluctant to see the Luo Yougui family's appearance, but in order to find out the matter, he had to put this unbearable aside and harden his heart.

Luo Yougui's family knew that she was finished, so they didn't care about helping Zhuyuan hide it anymore and told them everything together. Naturally, her greed was included in it, but Zhuyuan was also indispensable to help her support her and strengthen her courage. Zhuyuan's things that Zhuyuan deceived her superiors and concealed her subordinates, because Luo Yougui's confession also surfaced.

"Who broke this fruit plate?" Song Ruoxi did not forget to return Tao's mother's innocence.

"It was broken by me. I hate Tao's mother and wanted to blame her and ask Zhu's mother to drive her out of the mansion." Now Luo Yougui's family doesn't have to hide it anymore. In fact, Tao's mother said those words at the beginning, just to scare Luo Yougui's family so that she can hand over the money. Unexpectedly, she held a grudge and wanted to find a mistake to drive Tao's mother out. It happened that today she broke the fruit plate. She had a plan and framed Tao's mother with the situation.

But Zhuyuan didn't understand what she meant, and only deducted Tao's mother's monthly money for one month and did not drive anyone out. She even unexpectedly, this incident would make Song Ruoxi bump into it, and it became more and more troublesome, and even her corruption of the public money was raised.

At this time, Zhu Yuan came after hearing the news, but it was too late. Her desperate denial was exchanged for Song Ruoxi's cold threat, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it. I don't mind, letting you end up like her."

Zhu Yuan saw Luo Yougui's arm and didn't dare to say anything again. She collapsed on the ground. She was puzzled. What exactly did she annoy Song Ruoxi and asked Song Ruoxi to take her into surgery.

The matter has been found out, but Song Ruoxi doesn't know how to deal with these people. She has never experienced this. She looked at the two people on the ground and pursed her lips and said nothing.

Qinghe stepped forward and bowed and said, "Girl, I don't know if I should say it?"

"Tell me." Song Ruoxi looked at her.

"Zhu's mother is a person around her and she has gained her trust. However, she did this and failed her trust in her. It was really hateful." Qinghe said.

Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly, and she understood Qinghe's meaning, "Zhuyuan is someone around her wife. I am a junior who has gone over to her wife to deal with it. It's a bit inappropriate. Qinghe, go and invite her wife over!"

"Yes, girl." Qinghe bent her knees and went to invite Ji Yun.

Someone had already returned what happened in the kitchen to Ji Yun, and she had been waiting in the yard. When Qinghe came to invite her, she took her two other capable women, Rong Qiao, Fu Cha and several wives, to the kitchen.

Seeing Ji Yun coming in with a blue face, Zhuyuan and Luo Yougui's family who had seen her thunderous methods shivered and lie on the ground and trembled all over.

"Mom." Song Ruoxi stood up and saluted.

"My son is tired?" Ji Yun asked with a smile on his face.

"Xi'er is not tired." Song Ruoxi held her arm, "Please sit down, mom."

Ji Yun patted her hand gently and sat down on the chair. Someone brought another chair to sit for Song Ruoxi, and the maid brought two cups of hot tea.

"I (small) pay my respects to my wife, my wife will be blessed." Everyone saluted Ji Yun.
