When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and then subconsciously turned their heads to look at the Zhou family steward standing in the hall, and saw the two stewards of the Zhou family staring at the kidnapped person with a shocked and surprised look, and everyone also widened their eyes and looked at Zhao Xiaosi with blazing eyes.

Zhao Xiaosi was dazed by everyone for a while, as if he was frightened, he unconsciously took a step back, raised his hand to wipe his face, smiled at everyone for some reason, and said offended, and motioned to the two little servants to hand over the person who suddenly stopped his voice after seeing the Zhou family's steward and shrugged back to the officials.

"Hey, why does this person look a little familiar?" A young man in the crowd roared in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the person next to me suddenly exclaim: "Ouch, isn't this the one behind Dicui Building, who is naked and messing with their uncle, cough cough, and mess around?" Is this person still from the Zhou family? ”

Before one of them could speak, another person patted his head and exhaled in surprise: "Yo, I remember!" Isn't this the little guy who always follows Zhou Zhijian? ”

Everyone listened to a few people who knew the inside story, you and I said it one by one, and then looked at the faces of the two stewards of the Zhou family and the little guy, and suddenly understood, and muttered with a smile - this is really an eye-opener, otherwise how to say that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded? The talent of the Zhou family just wanted to push things out, and the person with the black pot on his back was sent to the door! Now I have seen it again.

Cui Ke sat on the high hall with a solemn face, listening to the commotion at the door, his eyes fell on the two stewards who were wiping cold sweat with complicated faces, frowned, his eyes darkened, and turned his head to signal Master Liu: "Go and see what's going on?" ”

Master Liu hurriedly agreed, squeezed out of the crowd, and after a while, he squeezed back sweating profusely, glanced at the people of the Zhou family with a strange face, and coughed in a low voice when he went to the hall: "My lord, yesterday, when the steward of the Lu Mansion Zhao went to put food outside the city gate, he caught a sneaky thief and sent it over." It's also a coincidence, listening to the people at the door, that person seems to be the little guy next to Zhou Zhijian! I heard that I ran away from ......."

Cui Ke wrinkled his brows and took a breath, staring coldly at the two stewards who were caught off guard, snapping the startled wood, and ordering the officials to bring people in, and another question.

Fu An trembled and crawled on the ground, and he didn't dare to look at Zhou Zhijian, knowing that if he recognized it today, he would die or not, and he couldn't help but think of the situation that the man in black had forced him to see by his throat before, and his heart was terrified, and he instinctively kowtowed to the ground, shouting in a trembling voice, and without waiting for Cui Ke to ask, he trembled and poured out everything he knew.

The two stewards of the Zhou family originally wanted to threaten and reprimand, but before the words could be spoken, they were blocked by the officials in the hall, and they could only stare dryly and listen to Fu An's confession. Fu An explained incoherently, and was drunk by Master Liu, not only explained the ins and outs of the crimes told by everyone, but also poured out a few murders, only to hear the eyes of a group of people watching the excitement outside, and even Cui Ke became angry.

By the time Tomiyasu finished his trembling explanation, it was already noon. Cui Ke frowned and didn't show mercy to the people of the Zhou family at all, and directly let Fu'an and Zhou Zhijian, who was dying, take him into custody, explaining that he would be convicted and sentenced after the year.

The two stewards of the Zhou family couldn't, and they didn't pay attention for a while, so they had to leave one person to guard Zhou Zhijian, and the other hurriedly went out to report to Zhou Guangye, the Marquis of Chongning.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Guangye hurriedly went to Cui Ke's mansion, and waited for half an hour before he came out of Cui Mansion angrily.

Cui Ke listened to the report of the convincing little guy in the mansion, frowned and slowly thought about it, the people behind this matter were obviously prepared, but the Zhou family was caught off guard after a few days. Zhou Guangye not only had to deal with the people of Yushitai in the court, but also had to run to the Wei Mansion and the Four Princes' Mansion when he got out of the court, so he didn't have time to react. These people are in a hurry, the people of the Zhou family have never taken people seriously, they are arrogant and arrogant, they are already angry, but they don't restrain themselves and lie low, but they still think about coercion and temptation at this time?

How stupid do the people of the Zhou family have to be to come up with such a stupid trick?

Cuiko sulked angrily, determined not to lie in the muddy waters.

Zhao Xiaosi looked at the people of the Zhou family coldly in the crowd, snorted, and hung Erlang hummed a tune, and went to the Lu Mansion to reply with his eyebrows.

******

At the end of the Shen period, the sky darkened, lanterns were lit everywhere in the capital, the flaming red candlelight concealed the heavy snow falling all over the sky, and the ears were the sound of joy and laughter in and outside the courtyard, which made people feel a little warm and lively.

Mrs. Lin was looking at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the Zhang Luo Mansion, and when she was busy, the mother-in-law on the second door rushed in and replied, saying that Liu Da Treasurer had sent a New Year's gift, and there was an urgent matter, and she wanted to see Mrs.

Mrs. Lin waved her hand to let the girl in the house retreat first, frowned and listened to the reply, took the list and looked at it skimmingly, and her face sank, "This is a big holiday, I don't have time to see him, what is there to let him come back in the next year!" ”

The woman was instructed and hurriedly agreed to go out to spread the word.

"You go and take a look" Mrs. Lin handed the list to Bi Tao, paused, and there was a little irritability and impatience in her eyes, "Let Liu Fuan go back and teach her son well!" ”

Bi Tao agreed to take the order and hurriedly went to the second door.

Liu Fuan was wrapped in a big coat, his eyes were so thin that they were about to sunken, and he rubbed his hands and turned back and forth on the tuyere of the side door of the Lu Mansion, and it was easy to see the little guy in the porter coming out, but he opened his mouth to send people.

"This little brother, I really have something urgent, look, can you tell Madame again?" Liu Fuan was so anxious that his mouth was foaming, since the night before, he didn't dare to close his eyes, but overnight, his eyes went down, and the shops that had been paid in every few years were sold clean overnight, which was simply unprepared.

He hadn't heard any news before, and he didn't expect his aunt to come back this year, and he was tossed by a milky little girl. Yesterday, Zhao Xiaosi shouted at the yamen, and he didn't know where he came from, and he smashed 58,000 taels of silver in one go. Such a large sum was two or three times more than he expected, and the little silver he was holding in his hand was not enough at all, and Mrs. Lin's plan to let him quietly buy the shop back with his hands fell through.

I don't know if this year is a disaster or what, but the two sons also had an accident at this juncture, and it was time to use the silver! After the year, I'm afraid it will be too late! Even a noble family like the Marquis of Chongning, when his son committed an accident and made a fuss, he was put in prison in just a few days......

Before Liu Fuan's words fell, the little man in the porter impatiently shook off Liu Fuan, waved his hand like a fly and asked Liu Fuan to leave quickly.

Liu Fuan's face was blue and white for a while, and he was embarrassed and embarrassed to be kicked out of the door, and he caught a glimpse of Bi Tao coming out of the second door, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly squeezed up and stretched out his hand against the door, and shouted towards the door: "Wait!" It was the big girl next to Madame, and she knew me—"

Bi Tao frowned and listened to Liu Fuan's shouting, paused, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, Fang walked over from the second gate, motioned to the little servant in the concierge to open the door a little, frowned and shouted: "This is Lu Mansion, what does the big shopkeeper look like shouting like this!" The big shopkeeper is also anxious, you don't want to think about it, the New Year, Mrs. is in charge of things inside and out, and she is so busy that she hasn't even taken a sip of tea, how can I see you at this time? The big shopkeeper should please go back first, you are so old, have a reunion dinner at home, and teach your children well. It's never too late to talk about what happened in the New Year. ”

After Bi Tao finished speaking, Fang retracted his gaze, did not listen to Liu Fuan's explanation, turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.

Liu Fuan looked at the door that was slammed shut in amazement, shivered by the cold wind, the whole person seemed to be ten years old in an instant, stiffened and retreated from the side door, and was just about to go out, but bumped into Zhao Xiaosi who came out of the alley.

Zhao Xiaosi walked up with a smile as if he had been waiting aside, and politely bowed to the shopkeeper Liu: "I said that it looks a little familiar, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Liu, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Liu Fuan glared at Zhao Xiaosi with a pale face, "You-"

"Why, the big shopkeeper doesn't recognize me?" Zhao Xiaosi didn't seem to see the stunned and annoyed on Liu Fuan's face, smiled very kindly, and patiently reminded, "Didn't the big shopkeeper let people go to the mansion to make trouble yesterday?" So the big shopkeeper didn't see me? ”

Liu Fuan's eyes shrank suddenly, staring at Zhao Xiaosi fiercely, his skinny body was blown by the cold wind, and he asked angrily: "You let people stare at me?" Is it my aunt? Still is...... Girl—"

"If no one knows it, he can't do it unless he does." Zhao Xiaosi didn't care about Liu Fuan's fingers, met Liu Fuan's gaze, shook his head word by word and smiled, "The big shopkeeper should understand what he has done." Our girl is kind-hearted, and she has left you a little leeway, and the big shopkeeper will do it for herself in the future. ”

Liu Fuan's fingers trembled, and he was so chilled by Zhao Xiaosi's understated smile that he felt chills all over his body. Zhao Xiaosi is just a steward, this must be said for his master, his master, the girl, has been staring at him, and his two sons have caused a lawsuit......

Shopkeeper Liu thought about it, only to feel a chill from the soles of his feet, and he shivered with cold.
