Chapter 746: Head to head
Huang Xiaoxian finally sent her master away, and a stone in her heart fell to the ground.
On the way back, she walked slowly, thinking to herself, even if they rode fast horses, they would not be able to do it, besides, they would definitely not think that the master had left now, because Baifu was monitored, and it was basically difficult to fly.
Huang Xiaoxian was suddenly physically and mentally exhausted, and the feeling of tiredness came up like a tide, thinking back to the events of the past two days, she really didn't understand when this kind of thing was a head.
Huang Xiaoxian thought that she must sleep well when she returned to Baifu, no matter what happened to him, but as soon as she returned to the gate of Baifu, she saw a small sedan chair parked in front of the door of Baifu, and a man in a long shirt just walked down from the sedan chair.
At first glance, Huang Xiaoxian was Steward Liu in Gao Xiang's Mansion.
Steward Liu also saw Huang Xiaoxian, stretched out his hand and saluted and said, "Hello young grandma, I was about to ask you about something, but fortunately, you happened to come back." I want to ask where the young grandmother went so early?"
Huang Xiaoxian looked at his yin and yang weirdness, and said angrily: "I'm not your young grandmother, do you have the right to ask about my private life?"
Steward Liu continued to smile and said: "How dare you, how dare you, but I'm afraid that it has something to do with the old slave's coming to Baifu, so I dare to say more." ”
Huang Xiaoxian didn't want to pay attention to him, so he was about to go inside.
The concierge had already informed the family that since he was the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the lady was busy coming out to greet him, and the lord went to the court after finishing his business.
Under the repeated invitations of Mrs. and Huang Xiaoxian, Steward Liu stepped into the White Mansion.
When I came to the brocade hall and served good tea, I was really a third-grade official in the Prime Minister's Mansion, not to mention the housekeeper, even if the second housekeeper came, they had to greet each other with a smile.
Steward Liu picked up the tea unhurriedly, blew the floating leaves on it with his mouth, and nodded again and again to say that the tea was good.
The lady said with a smiling face: "It's the dragon well before the rain." ”
Steward Liu took a sip and said to his wife: "Madam, please don't blame, it's like this, the villain has a personal matter to discuss with the master, you don't know, there are a lot of things in the countryside, he is an understanding person, and we usually have a good relationship." ”
He seemed to suddenly remember and said: "I forgot to say, the two of us are fellow countrymen, you don't know this kind of feelings, special trust, so many years, we often chat together, talk about our hearts, otherwise, the longing for hometown is really bitter." ”
Madame nodded in understanding.
Steward Liu continued: "I really can't believe anyone else, some people say that he happens to be at your house, can you let him come out to see me, just ask a few words, it will definitely not affect your business." ”
Steward Liu was smiling all over his face when he said this, as if he was not here to do something, but to repay the money.
Madame glanced at Huang Xiaoxian and said, "I don't care much about this kind of thing, you better ask the young grandmother." ”
Huang Xiaoxian thought for a while and said: "The old man in the yamen handled the case, he said that he wanted to go back to the countryside to see his elderly parents, so he asked for leave and left, as for where he went, I really don't know." ”
Yesterday we just called the master into the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, for my business, but okay, he suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, and some people said that he was not willing to leave, and was taken away by some people, this matter...... I wonder if it has anything to do with your house?"
There was still a smile on his face, but there was a complete murderous intent in his tone.
Madame immediately said with some fear: "I really haven't heard of these, besides, the people in our Baifu are ...... with the master."
"You have a past with the master, didn't he appear in your mansion today? I just don't know, did he arrive last night?"
Huang Xiaoxian immediately stopped his wife and said: "In the past few days, I still have the master in the yamen, I am almost crazy to find the master, and I don't see the figure of the master in Manxijing, why, it turned out to be in the Gao Xiang's Mansion?"
"Yes? Why don't I know? We asked someone to pass the word, and he came immediately, I haven't heard of why he disappeared? On the contrary, now, the person has handled the case of your Bai Mansion, why is this person gone? Don't there be any accidents, right? In that case, your Bai Mansion has become the focus of suspicion. ”
Huang Xiaoxian immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this, when he left the house, many people saw it." ”
Steward Liu said: "Oh, some people say that they saw him in your house, why, in addition to handling cases, you also have no acquaintance with him?"
"There is no acquaintance, but he must come out to testify in the handling of the case, and it is futile for someone to interfere. ”
"Who? tell me clearly?" Steward Liu's smiling face was consistent, and Huang Xiaoxian wanted to step forward and slap him.
Huang Xiaoxian knew that he was messing around, so he said: "Steward Liu, I think you also know, we sued the yamen for a case, involving the master, so the master did come to our Baifu this morning in order to investigate the case clearly, and now that the investigation of the case is over, we have no intention of keeping him, and we have been gone for about an hour?"
"Oh, I see, I said how did he come to your White Mansion for no reason, may I ask from which way did he go, and how long has he been walking?"
Huang Xiaoxian really wanted to step forward and kick him to relieve his hatred, but he said in his mouth: "I really didn't pay much attention to this, but he left when he was done, you can go to the yamen to take a look, if he leaves, he will also take some things, or bring some things." ”
The housekeeper still smiled and said, "I have been to the Yamen a long time ago, and the master said that he would see others in the morning, and he left when he said that there was something at home, and almost all the onlookers saw him enter the White Mansion, why did he leave?"
Huang Xiaoxian also said with a sad face: "Who knows, you said that he also helped our Bai family so much, I said to invite him to eat something, and then ...... Alas, he just doesn't listen, he has to go, and we can't stop him, can we?"
"Oh, it's really not in Baifu?" asked Steward Liu, who took another sip of tea and spit out the tea foam.
"Of course, can we still hide a big living person in a hole? No, we don't have a hole in Baifu at all. ”
Huang Xiaoxian's words couldn't be clearer, if he saved someone, he also had to take the target to himself, and if there was any mistake, the master would blame him.
Of course, Steward Liu heard Huang Xiaoxian's words, and he didn't show weakness and said, "Could it be that the young grandmother has seen the hiding of people in the cave?"
Huang Xiaoxian said solemnly: "What, hasn't Steward Liu heard? In some high-ranking mansions, trees are specially dug out of holes, which can not only hide people but also hide dirt and dirt. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing? Could it be that the young grandmother saw it with her own eyes?"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard a lot of rumors about it. Huang Xiaoxian looked at him without showing weakness.
Madame looked at the two men with fear, and she did not understand at all what they were talking about.
