Chapter Ninety-Six: Serial Questioning (Second Update)
"How is Liu Datou?" Shi Jin asked tiredly as he lay on the Taishi chair, rubbing his eyebrows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I've been asleep in the guest room and haven't woken up. Xiao Er was waiting there. The shopkeeper replied respectfully.
If you are too drunk, you have to take care of it, feed some water or something.
Shi Jin nodded, waved his hand, and said, "You can also go down and rest." Let myself be quiet. ”
The shopkeeper bowed down and withdrew.
He was just a hired shopkeeper who did what the owner told him to do, and he didn't inquire about anything else.
Shi Jin raised his eyes, saw the shopkeeper go out and into the inner courtyard, and exhaled lightly.
Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing...... I don't know where the young master found such an honest and conscientious shopkeeper...... It saved him a lot of trouble.
The next day, when it was still dark, Shi Jin cleaned up, went to the guest room to wake up Liu Datou, and explained that they were all drunk last night, but fortunately the shopkeeper was kind enough to take them in, so he didn't sleep on the street drunk.
moved Liu Datou to a mess, and thanked the shopkeeper again and again.
After sending Liu Datou to the Yamen, Shi Jin trotted all the way back to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
The porter was sleepy-eyed, rubbing his eyes, yawning, and when he saw Shi Jin, who was covered in dust in the sky before dawn, he yawned halfway, and immediately paused, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
"You didn't come back last night?!" the porter was stunned.
Although the Bai family is a merciful housewife, she is very strict in governing the family, Shi Jin dares not to return all night, and it is indispensable to be fined monthly money or beaten by the board, and it is even possible to be kicked out!
Shi Jin looked panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to beg for a favor, and shouted, "You keep quiet, don't be heard by others...... Just this time, you can let me go......"
As he spoke, Shi Jin was about to dig out his pocket.
"Stop, don't hurt me!" The porter hurriedly waved his hand, directly refused the bribe that Shi Jin had not yet handed over, lowered his voice, and complained with a panicked face, "You don't want this errand, I still want it...... I'll just say nothing at most, and you can do the rest yourself......"
The porter's words were full of sympathy.
From the opening of the Wu'an Hou Mansion to the present, there has not been a single subordinate who has not returned at night and has been able to escape the Bai family's interrogation afterwards.
Shi Jin also knew, so he struggled for a long time last night before he made up his mind to see the young master. First, it was to restore his life, and secondly, it was also because he was very concerned about the young master's actions of Wu'an Houfu and Feng Shujia.
But who knew that the Bai family hadn't checked yet, so Feng Shujia sent someone to "invite" him to Zhihe Courtyard first.
Shi Jin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it is easier to deal with the small than the big, and besides, there are still secrets between him and Feng Shujia that cannot be known to outsiders, and there are excuses to get out.
"Where did you go last night?" When she arrived at Zhihe Courtyard, Feng Shujia didn't give Shi Jin any chance to greet politely, and asked directly with a cold expression.
Shi Jin was taken aback, and subconsciously felt that Feng Shujia might not be as easy to deal with as he imagined. Unexpectedly, he asked directly, if he hadn't been prepared, he might have exposed the stuffing at this moment.
Shi Jin appropriately showed panic, and hurriedly bowed down and replied respectfully: "Last night, the villain asked the little brother of the water dragon team to go to eat and drink together, but he was drunk unconscious, but fortunately the shopkeeper kindly took him in......"
"Where are you going to eat?" Feng Shujia didn't wait for Shi Jin to finish speaking, and immediately asked again.
"Green Willow Zhai. Shi Jin seemed to be taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out.
When the words came out, Shi Jin seemed to understand what Feng Shujia meant by this, and a panicked and humiliated look appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to defend himself.
Feng Shujia was no longer looking at him, and directly instructed Cai Lu: "Send someone to Luliuzhai to ask." ”
Cai Lu nodded and agreed, and directly called two stout mothers-in-law in, and "invited" Shi Jin out.
Ask for the address, send someone to inquire or something, Cai Lu will do it properly, and there is no need for Feng Shujia to worry about it.
Cai Wei watched Shi Jin's back disappear into the courtyard, her face turned slightly pale, and she took the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt: "Girl, it's all the slave's fault......!
Before he finished speaking, he was bent down by Feng Shujia and picked him up.
"What are you doing, he's him, you're you! Sitting on innocent people is not the rule of our Hou Mansion. Feng Shujia laughed, "Moreover, it's just that he doesn't go home at night, and finding out the situation, if what he said is true, is not a big deal." ”
Whether it is a fine of monthly money or a board, it is just a small punishment and a big commandment, killing chickens and monkeys, and enforcing the rules.
Cai Wei was moved and guilty, and saw that Feng Shujia looked relaxed, not like she was deliberately saying it to comfort her, so she put her mind at ease, and said with red circles in her eyes: "The slave maid looked at the girl's previous expression, and asked again and again, thinking that you were very angry." ”
"Just deceive him. If he is a thief, he will always show his feet. Feng Shujia didn't hide it from Cai Wei.
Under the sudden interruption of drinking, people often have no time to hide and conceal, and it is easiest for them to blurt out the truth.
"However," Feng Shujia's expression became cold, "If I find out that he lied or had other intentions, then I can't spare him!"
This is also to let Cai Wei have a bottom in advance, lest Shi Jin really have a problem, she will punish her, and then hurt the relationship between the master and servant of the two worlds.
Cai Wei nodded heavily, and couldn't agree with it: "Of course! If he dares to fool the girl, or if it is not good for our Houfu, the slave maid will not be able to spare him first!"
In Cai Wei's heart, compared with a cousin who is so far away that she doesn't know how many miles she has faced, of course, Feng Shujia, who she has been serving and growing up since she was a child, is more important.
Even over the years, the Wu'an Hou Mansion is more like home to Cai Wei than her own home, and she never thought that maybe one day, she would leave the Wu'an Hou Mansion and leave Feng Shujia and other things.
Waiting is always anxious, but fortunately, Cailu came back soon, and found out that everything Shi Jin said was true, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er of Luliuzhai could testify.
Feng Shujia exhaled softly, Shi Jin has no problem, that is naturally better.
Although she used Shi Jin, the two had nothing to do with each other before, and she naturally didn't dare to fully trust Shi Jin. At this time, Shi Jin suddenly didn't return home at night, and Feng Shujia couldn't pay attention to it if she didn't want to.
However, punishment is indispensable.
Thinking that Shi Jin and Liu Datou were eating wine to inquire about the news for themselves, although in the end they didn't find out any useful news, Feng Shujia still opened the net, punished Shi Jin with a small punishment, and only fined Shi Jin half a month's monthly money.
