"Can you find out?" Seeing that the third master Liu was back, the second master Liu asked in a hurry.

"The man ran away!" Master Liu San wrestled angrily.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Liu asked, and when she saw that there was sweat on Mr. Liu's head, she hurriedly asked the little girl to bring tea, and asked Mr. Liu San to sit down and said slowly.

Master Liu San drank tea in a big gulp, and then told Mrs. Liu and everyone.

Second Master Liu came home and told the second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi's carriage that the horses were poisoned, and at that time, Master Liu, Third Master Liu and Mrs. Liu San were there, so they all attached great importance to it, and immediately sent someone to guard the stables.

“…… The one named Zheng San'er was a drunkard and a gambler, and because he didn't sleep at night, he was often assigned to feed the horses at night in the stable. …… He was gone, and he took people to his dwelling, but everything of value was gone. When I asked people, they all said that they hadn't seen him all day, and they were afraid that they had run away last night or early this morning. ”

After inquiry, no one else in the stable was suspicious, only Zheng San'er, a bad gambler and a drunkard, was suspicious.

"Usually a little lazy to eat, working at night must be climbing others. It's just that last night, he was very diligent and let everyone else rest, and he was the only one who watched the stables and fed the horses. When people asked him what was wrong, he only said that he had won a lot of money in gambling, and he was happy. ”

Saying this, Master Liu San took out a wisp of hay from his sleeve.

"This was found in Zheng San'er's residence, and I recognize that it is the poisonous horse grass!"

There is only such a suspicious person, but he has already run away, and he has found such conclusive evidence in his residence, so the person who poisoned Mrs. Liu's horse must be this Zheng San'er.

"Since he's such a bastard. Why are you still in the house? Why did he do that? Wouldn't it do him any good to do this? ”

A gambler and a drunkard, who relied on the Liu family's bowl of rice to make a living, is now absconding in fear of crime, isn't he losing his job? Even if it was done by Zheng San'er, what was the motive? Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu have always been generous, and they never care about the affairs in the house, but it is unreasonable to say that this Zheng San'er has a grudge against them.

"That's going to be done by the housekeeper." Master Liu San looked at Master Liu.

Old Man Liu had a straight face. looked at Mrs. Liu.

"Go and get the roster," Mrs. Liu could not shirk, so she instructed the little girl who was waiting beside her, while explaining, "In the front yard, it is all the affairs of the men outside, and although I am in charge of the house, I only talk to a few stewards." Since this is the person, where can he run. It is bound to take him back, and he will not be spared. ”

"The front yard and the back yard are all in your care. You're not the new family, such a person. You just say you don't know? What else to take the roster? Master Liu said very unhappily.

Everyone's eyes fell on Mrs. Liu.

Seeing everyone like this, Mrs. Liu had to struggle to get up and stand on the little girl's shoulder.

"I was negligent. These days......" said this, Mrs. Liu's body shook a little, and the expression on her face became sad.

"That's it. It's not that you don't know that she has been in the house for the past few days, taking medicine to recuperate, and has not asked anything. Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Liu's appearance and spoke.

"The old lady is compassionate, but, after all, the old lady entrusted me with the housekeeper, or mine." Mrs. Liu took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, with some crying in her aggrieved tone.

Yes, Mrs. Liu has been lying sick on the chuang for the past few days, and she has ignored all family affairs. Something happened at this time, so naturally it had nothing to do with Mrs. Liu.

"Your wife doesn't know, and you don't know?" Master Liu turned his head and asked Liuda/Grandma again.

Liu Da/Grandma was busy standing up as early as when Mrs. Liu got up, and when she heard Master Liu ask her, she was also anxious and aggrieved.

"Zheng San'er is a person, and his daughter-in-law knows it. …… It's the old servant of the family, his mother and son are serving with his great-grandfather, and when he arrives at the old lady, he is no longer able to do things, and the old lady has ordered him to take care of and raise him specially. Zheng San'er has been in the house all the time, although he is good at gambling and drinking, the old lady has been raising him when he sees his mother, and only sends him to be idle. …… In the hands of his wife and daughter-in-law, although he didn't look like him, because of the rules set by the old lady, he was still sent to be in the stable, and he was also idle. ”

"When you say that, I remember. There is such a person, and the old lady is also because his mother and son served the old man, and he has some credit. Although he is not successful, how dare he do such a thing? Mrs. Liu said.

"Such a person, there must be someone who gave him a large sum of money to make him do this!" Mrs. Liu San said.

"Someone wants to harm the second wife and the third girl?" The old lady Liu realized it later.

"This poisonous horse grass is very rare in our capital, and it has never been mistaken as forage to feed horses to eat." Master Liu San said.

While she was talking, the little girl hurriedly came in to report that the steward of the stable had something to do.

"Let him talk back." Mrs. Liu said.

The steward of the stables was led outside the old lady's house, and knelt down on the steps through the curtain to return to the house, saying that two more horses had just fallen into the stables foaming at the mouth, and that they were not working, and that they had also been poisoned by the poisonous horse grass.

"What?" Mrs. Liu was shocked, "Whose horses are they?" Isn't it not only harmful to the second wife and the third girl, but also thinking about not being able to repay others. ”

“…… It's the big lady, and the big/grandma's horse. Then the steward of the stables replied.

"Three horses are in the same stable, the second wife's horse was poisoned in the morning, but these two horses were poisoned just now, except for Zheng San'er, there are other people who were poisoned?" Liu Da/Grandma said in a panic.

"The minions dare to vouch for the fodder from this morning onwards. Big/Grandma doesn't know this, although they are all the same poisoning, or some eat more, and some eat less. Moreover, the second wife's horse is out of the city, and the eldest lady and grandmother's horse has always been in the stable, and after being poisoned, the attack is slower. The steward of the stables said.

"Well, I don't understand it at all." Liu Da/Grandma said.

"Where is it to blame you, women, who understands these things." Mrs. Liu said.

"In this way, Zheng San'er is not aiming at the second aunt and the third sister." Liu Da/Grandma stroked her chest, as if she thought of something, "Perhaps, it's mostly in front of my wife and me." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Liu was busy and asked Liu Da/Grandma.

"Mrs. don't remember? A few days ago, my wife and I went out to the house of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to attend the banquet, and the carriage was prepared slowly. I was so angry that I had someone scold him. It seems that he also said that he would be kicked out. ”

"Isn't it because of this that the minions hold a grudge against our girls?"

"I don't know what a bastard thing like that!" Mrs. Liu said with a calm face, saying this, she also agreed with what Liu Da/Grandma said.

"Even if she holds a grudge against the housekeeper, the second wife never asks about family affairs. The eldest lady and the eldest grandmother, one is sick, the other is busy with the housekeeper, and they will not go out, only the second wife ordered to prepare the carriage yesterday, and they will go out today. Mrs. Liu San glanced at Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma suspiciously, and said.

"He's a fool, he knows what. If I had known this, I wouldn't have done such a thing. Mrs. Liu said, "In this way, we have caused the second wife to be affected." ”

Zheng San'er was scolded and had to be taken away, so he held a grudge against his master, and felt that he was going to be kicked out anyway, so he took a risk, poisoned Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu's grandmother's horse, and then fled.

However, neither Mrs. Liu nor Mrs. Liu/Grandma went out and did not use the carriage, but Mrs. Liu used the carriage and almost had an accident.

“…… must have known that the second wife was good with us, so he took the second wife's horse. Mrs. Liu said, looking at Mrs. Liu with apologies.

"It must be so." Mrs. Liu said.

Mrs. Liu stroked the little girl's shoulders and knelt down in front of Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu/Grandma also knelt together.

"I frightened the second wife and the third girl, it's all the fault of the daughters-in-law, please punish the old lady."

"This kind of thing, how to blame you." Mrs. Liu said, looking at Mrs. Liu's scorched face, she was even more unbearable, so she asked the girl next to her to help the two of them up. "Fortunately, the second wife and the third girl are fine."

"The second aunt and the third sister are auspicious." Liuda/Grandma immediately laughed.

"According to the old lady's meaning......" Mr. Liu San asked Mrs. Liu.

"You took the post and went to the yamen and arrested that minion. Even if he has an old face for several lifetimes, he can't spare him if he does such a thunderstorm. Arrest him and deal with him according to the law. Mrs. Liu commanded.

Mr. Liu San and Mrs. Liu San were not very satisfied with this result, and Mrs. Liu San wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Mr. Liu San. Lord Liu was silent, and Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu glanced at each other and didn't say anything.

Liu Ruoxi lowered her head and did not speak.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma said Zheng San'er's motives seem to be in the past, but after careful consideration, there are many flaws, and she will never believe it. However, even if there are some people here, now Zheng San'er doesn't know where to go, unless Zheng San'er can be found, it is useless to say anything else at this time.

The people in the shadows sent Zheng San'er away, that is, they made all preparations. This matter should not be pursued exhaustively for the time being.

There is no definite evidence, if it is said that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma did it, Mrs. Liu will not believe it in the first place. However, Liu Ruoxi didn't plan to let go of this matter so easily. (To be continued......)
