"It's still Steward Guo's meticulous!" Wang Zhutou smiled, first asked Steward Guo to send each room back, and then said to Steward Guo when the people dispersed: "Steward Guo, I want to go to see Ping'er, please lead the way!" ”

"Wang Zhutou is polite, this is as it should be, please come with me!" This housekeeper Guo has a lot of etiquette, not as arrogant as some housekeepers of big households, but Zhao Jiu has no good impression of him, he only thinks that this person is like a loach, slippery.

The courtyard where the fifth aunt cherishes Lan is called Lan Yuan, there is no female owner in the house after she leaves, Ping'er was originally the girl in this house, so she still lives here. There is a magnolia tree in the corner of the orchid courtyard, there is a pile of medicinal residue under the tree, Wang Zhutou stepped forward to take a look, there are Tianqi, safflower, oxknee and other things in it, it seems to be used to dispel blood stasis and invigorate blood. Steward Guo and Zhao Jiu took a few steps forward and called into the house: "Ping'er, Wang Zhutou of the county government is here, you come out to meet!" ”

"Yes, Steward Guo!" Someone in the house answered, and when someone came out of the wing where the fifth aunt lived, Zhao Jiu also turned around and looked at it under the tree. I saw that Ping'er standing at the door of the wing, holding the door frame and saluting to the king's head. She was wearing a pink blouse and a light purple Luo skirt, revealing a bit of beauty in her sickness. Looking at the way she walked, the injury was indeed on her buttocks.

Wang Zhutou said: "I heard that you have suffered a lot of grievances for the matter of the fifth aunt, and you have worked hard, can you tell me how you found out that the fifth aunt and Qiu Zhuai have a personal relationship?" ”

"Back to Wang Zhutou, since the fifth aunt married into the Zhang Mansion, she has been serving her smallly, and when Qiu Zhuan came to investigate the case, the fifth aunt often sent the small one out to do errands. One day, the little one left in a hurry and forgot to bring something and turned around to get it, but there was a noise of men and women in the house-" Ping'er glanced at Steward Guo with a shy face and continued: "Usually the master will not come at this hour, the little one looked into the house with a moment of curiosity, and sure enough, he saw the clothes in the place, and there was a hill catching fast catcher in it!" ”

"Oh, I see!"

Ping'er held the door frame on her right hand and revealed half of the verdant silver-wrapped bracelet, Wang Zhutou said quietly: "Since this is the case, then you should take care of your injuries!" ”

"The king catches his head and walks slowly-"

Out of Zhang's mansion, Wang Zhutou was silent, and only when he was about to arrive at the county office did he ask: "Ah Jiu, what do you see?" ”

"Uncle Zhong, I think Ping'er and Steward Guo are very suspicious!"

"Oh, why?"

"That Ping'er is just a girl, she should have lived in a side house, according to Steward Guo, she was asked to move to the wing room in order to facilitate her recuperation. According to the rules of these big families, the girl can't occupy the master's house at will, and the one who can live in the wing room means that she is the master of the house. ”

Wang Zhutou nodded approvingly, and asked again, "What else?" ”

"Ping'er has a silver-inlaid bracelet on her right wrist, presumably Uncle Zhong also saw it, how can she afford to buy that bracelet with her monthly money as a girl?" Zhao Jiu frowned and continued: "That bracelet must have been given by someone!" But who in Zhang's mansion will give her this bracelet? ”

"Since the fifth aunt came in, the four-room wife has been snubbed, and the resentment of the other four rooms can be seen in the hall before, although one is gone, but another one comes, and the four wives will not give Ping'er bracelets! The fifth aunt was too afraid that she also knew that this girl was not simple, so she broke her apart when Qiu Zhu was coming, because the fifth aunt not only would not give Ping'er a bracelet, but also asked about the origin of the bracelet, so the bracelet should be worn after the fifth aunt left! ”

"Then you mean—the bracelet was given by Zhang Yuanwai?"

"Uncle Zhong, I just can't figure it out here!" Zhao Jiu scratched his head and said, "The fifth aunt has cuckolded Zhang Yuanwai, and Zhang Yuanwai must be unhappy." Ping'er was beaten and told the truth, but she also betrayed her master, Zhang Yuanwai has acquiesced to her moving into the wing room as compensation, if she is given another reward, I am afraid that it will spread in the house, and then the girls and maids in each house can follow Ping'er's example and trample the master under their feet, and under Zhang Yuanwai's anger, they can also send Qiu Yu to the face of the Yamen Gu County's grandfather - the bracelet should not be given by Zhang Yuanwai! ”

"And who do you think is most likely to give the bracelet?"

"Steward Guo!"

"Why do you suspect Steward Guo?"

"The most powerful person in the Zhang Mansion besides Zhang Yuan is Steward Guo, and even those wives can't compare! Qiu Zhu came to Zhang's Mansion to handle the case, Zhang Yuanwai was not in the mansion, and it was Steward Guo who could guide Qiu Zhu's speed. The ladies of Zhang's house all live in the backyard, if it weren't for Steward Guo's secret troublemaker, how could Qiu Zhukuai have the opportunity to meet the fifth aunt? Steward Guo had to ask the girl to inform the master of the house when he went to the courtyard of the four rooms before, but he walked straight into the Lan Courtyard of the fifth aunt, presumably he was very familiar with the Lan Courtyard, so familiar that he could come if he wanted to! In addition, Ping'er answered Uncle Zhong's words and glanced at Steward Guo from time to time, so I thought Steward Guo was the most suspicious! Steward Guo must have an inexplicable relationship with Lanyuan! ”

"Good, good! It's all right, it's much stronger than Kangping! Wang Zhutou looked at Zhao Jiu and smiled sincerely: "Ah Jiu, you can be a teacher!" ”

"Uncle Zhong is exaggerating, I am far behind Brother Kang Ping and Uncle Zhong!"

Wang Zhutou laughed twice and frowned again, Zhao Jiu couldn't help asking, "Uncle Zhong, what's wrong, did I say something wrong?" ”

"Fei Ye-" Wang Zhutou shook his head, looked at the heavy black door in front of him, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid that this case is not simple, and in the end, making wedding dresses for others will be in vain!" ”

Zhao Jiu didn't understand, and was about to be questioned, Wang Zhutou had already entered the class room, Zhao Jiu hurriedly followed, and listened to Wang Zhutou's instructions: "Zhao Jiu, I ordered you to take someone to Zhangfu Lanyuan to bring Ping'er back to the yamen, and the court will interrogate you in time!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jiu took the token letter and took Ping'er from Zhang Yuanwai's house, Ping'er cried all the way, and Zhao Jiu was annoyed. When they arrived at the class room, Wang Zhutou personally interrogated her, and Ping'er was very stubborn at first, and she repeated the words she said in Zhang's mansion. The limit under the county master was in front of him, Wang Zhutou frowned, and people brought the torture instrument, Ping'er also stiffened, saying that she was a member of Zhang's house, and Zhang Yuanwai would administer justice for her.

These public men were also implicated a lot because of Deqiu's second child, and when Wang Zhutou gave the first order, he raised the board and greeted Ping'er. It can't be fake, it can't be fake, and it didn't take a few strokes for Ping'er to almost faint in pain, and she knew that Zhang Yuanwai couldn't protect her this time.

"Stop fighting, I'll move-"

Ping'er fainted after recruiting, and Wang Zhutou asked her to be carried into prison for temporary detention. Although there is Ping'er's testimony, but I am afraid that it is a little difficult to go to Zhangfu twice a day to get people, and the person is afraid that he will flee when it is late, Wang Zhutou is embarrassed, Qiu Lao Er rushed in at this time, and shouted: "Wang Zhutou, Wang Zhutou, I know who stole the golden statue Guanyin!" ”

Qiu Lao Er has not been to the yamen since he lost his ugliness, Wang Zhutou's heart moved, and he said, "Who?" ”
