In the ancestral hall, except for Steward Ji and Yuan, they were all at a loss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Only Steward Ji and the Yuan clan knew what Moyu was going to say next, and she was secretly surprised that she already knew.

Yuan raised his head and said, "Concubine Li, did you call everyone here at night just to listen to your story?" ”

There was a "ding" sound, and something fell to the ground. The sword in Mo Yu's hand still rested on top of Yuan's head, not hurting her a point, but a golden hairpin on her head was knocked to the ground. Yuan touched his neck, glad he was still there, but he didn't dare to squeak again. A cold voice came from overhead, "The old lady didn't speak, what are you talking about?" Isn't it just a story? What are you afraid of? ”

The long sword was put back on the table, Mo Yu leaned his back against the table, looked at the sky outside, and said with a smile: "It's time to come, the ghosts of the underworld should haunt it." This story has to start with the ranking behind me, that is, from my mother. Master Ji, can you tell me how you met my mother? ”

"This ......" Ji Gangyang was embarrassed, there were so many people in the ancestral hall, how could he be embarrassed to say it. Mo Yu didn't rush him, and slowly waited for him to think about it. On the contrary, the old lady waited impatiently, and said in a deep voice: "Since Concubine Li asked you to say it, you can say it!" ”

Ji Gangyang had no choice but to nod, "Yes." Then he said slowly, "When I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I met your mother in my hometown. Once I got drunk and ...... to your mother Later, I returned to Beijing, and before leaving, I told your mother to let her find a good family to marry, and left her a rich dowry. But I didn't expect that a year later, your mother came to me from her hometown to the capital, still holding a child in her arms, saying that it was my child. At that time, I had no master, and my mother was seriously ill, and I didn't dare to tell her the news, so I had to find a house in the capital for your mother to live in, and when I was free, I secretly went to have a look. ”

Mo Yu sneered twice and said, "I don't know if you went to see me, I only know that in my memory, you never appeared." ”

The old housekeeper interjected and said, "Concubine Li, the master really went to see it." I also asked the old slave to send silver to your mother regularly, and the piece of black jade on your body was put on by the master himself. It's just that the old man is getting bigger and busier later, so he ignores your mother. ”

"You'd better tell the truth, the time hasn't passed yet, and my mother is not sure where to watch!" Mo Yu said, the sky was beautiful, and by chance there was a cold wind, and the snow outside was heavier. Mo Yu picked up the long sword on the table, scraped the side of the sword with his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally, looked down at the Yuan clan who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "That big lady, do you know that my father is raising a daughter and an illegitimate daughter outside. ”

Everyone didn't expect Mo Yu to be able to say things like "raise a woman, an illegitimate daughter", and they all looked at her with strange eyes. Yuan on the ground raised his head and said tremblingly, "No..... I don't know. ”

"That means that only Master Ji and the chief butler know about this matter, right? Yuan, look at your daughter, how pitiful she is, she was sent directly to the man's bed by her own family, there is no dowry or wedding banquet, and there is no canonization on the Daqing Palace. You say, after returning to the palace, I will put some poison in her diet to help you remove the shame of the Ji family, how about it? ”

"You ......" Yuan stared at the condescending Mo Yu with wide eyes, speechless. Ji Feiyu said angrily: "Ji Moyu, you dare, don't forget that you are still grounded, do you have the ability?" ”

"Hahaha...... Mo Yu turned his head to look at the old lady in front of him, and sneered: "Old lady, do you think I have this ability." Don't think that I don't know that you poisoned me, since I can detoxify myself, I can also lead this poison to your precious daughter. ”

The old lady's hand holding the cane was trembling, and she tried her best to restrain the surging in her heart, and said, "Concubine Li, your poison was not ordered by us, and we don't know about your poisoning at all." ”

"I said that it was you who gave it, and you gave it."

The old lady closed her eyes, suppressed the anger in her eyes, and then said in a deep voice to the Yuan family who was kneeling on the ground: "Yuan family, you tell the truth, do you know about that matter. ”

Yuan looked at the old lady, then at her husband, and said in a trembling voice, "I know." ”

"Isn't this over, isn't it good to talk happily? I've got to be a bad guy. Mo Yu put down the long sword in his hand and said, "Butler, move a chair for the old lady to sit down!" Tonight, it's still a long time! So Yuan, tell me, how did you know about this? ”

Steward Ji moved a chair, and the old lady sat down slowly. People are really old, and they can't stand it anymore after standing for a while. When Yuan Shi said the word "know", she had roughly guessed the whole story, and also roughly understood what Moyu wanted to do tonight. So now she's not only listening to what everyone is saying, but also thinking about countermeasures.

Yuan lowered his head and said slowly. "At that time, Steward Ji always ran outside with things, and I became suspicious. A **** followed Steward Ji to the alley and saw him enter a house. Later, I found someone to investigate, and I found out that it was the old man...... The woman and illegitimate daughter raised by the lord outside. ”

"Who do you ask to investigate, what is his name, and bring him here."

He ...... He went later, and I gave him silver to let him go. ”

"Oh." Mo Yu didn't ask him anymore, but looked up at Steward Ji who was standing at the back, and said, "Big Butler, let me ask you a question." When the maids in this house entered the house, they all signed a contract, did they sign a living contract or a dead contract? ”

When the housekeeper saw Mo Yu asking him, he was respectful and cautious: "Most of them are death deeds, since the old lady in the mansion, in order to ensure the absolute loyalty of the people in the mansion to the Ji Mansion, they generally sign the death deed, so that the maids in the mansion are assigned to the little servants in the mansion, and their children still work for the Ji Mansion." Of course, the Ji Mansion family has a big business, and there are still not enough people, so the Ji Mansion will also sign some minions with living deeds, which are generally signed for a period of ten years. ”

Mo Yu understood and said, "That Yuan, did the person you let go sign a death contract or a living contract!" There are so many people up and down this Ji Mansion, there will be registration in and out, you should always remember the name! ”

"I ..... I...... I forgot. ”

"I expected your answer. Steward Ji, that day, that is, the day my mother died, I came to Ji's mansion to ask for help, do you remember? ”

The old butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Remember." ”

"I don't remember it very well, can you retell it for me."

"Yes. On the same day, I happened to come back from inspecting the property, and I met you at the door, and you were stopped by the nursing home and not allowed to enter. The old slave walked over to ask what was going on, and saw that it was you, Niangniang, and the jade pendant in your hand, and you said that I would save your mother. So, I hurried back to the house and summoned the family to go to the rescue, because the master was no longer in the house that day, so I didn't have time to tell the master. ”

"How many people are there in the Jiading Nursing Home you brought with you, and what are their names?" Seeing that the old housekeeper's lips trembled and he couldn't speak, Mo Yu sneered: "You shouldn't have colluded with the Yuan family, and you forgot about it!" ”

The housekeeper puffed, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Niangniang forgives the sin, the old slave has not forgotten." A few of them are still in the house, and some have been released. ”

"Then please ask the housekeeper to call everyone in the Ji Mansion, and I will ask, except for the people who went with you to save my mother, what were they doing that day, and who can testify. Also, bring me the list of the Kifu, and the list of the registrants who left the Kifu ten years ago. ”

"This ......" Although this thing is in his hands, it is not up to him to take it out or not, Steward Ji's eyes turned to his master, Ji Gangyang said in a deep voice: "Concubine Li, are you interrogating?" ”

Mo Yu said coldly: "Yes, can't you?" ”

The old lady said, "But now it's getting late, even if the mother wants to check this old account, she can check it again tomorrow." ”

"I can't finish checking tonight, everyone is spending here, until tomorrow morning, tomorrow noon, tomorrow night, I have time to check slowly. If the old lady has an opinion, she can go to the queen mother, or she can go to the emperor to tell the emperor, saying that I, Ji Moyu, are making trouble in the Ji Mansion and setting up a private torture hall. ”

This is the ancestral hall of Jifu, and generally each family does things in their own ancestral hall, which means telling others that they are dealing with family affairs. Even if the old lady sued the emperor, she couldn't come up with any evidence to say that Concubine Li set up a private torture hall because they were dealing with family affairs.

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Mo Yu looked down at the Yuan clan on the ground again, and said coldly: "Tell me honestly, how did you know that Master Ji was raising women and illegitimate daughters outside?" You've figured it out this time, maybe after you've answered well, everyone can go back to sleep right away. If your answer still doesn't satisfy me, then this time, it's not the gold hairpin on your head that I've eliminated. ”

Ji Feicui roared on the side: "Are you a threat? ”

"No, I'm never a threat." Mo Yu picked up the long sword on the table again, pressed it against the root of her ear, and said with a smile: "I will only act with it." Say. ”

A sudden roar made Yuan Shi jump, and the cold feeling coming from the root of her ears made her dare not breathe. "I ...... I learned from the butler. ”

"Oh, how did you get him to tell you willingly?"

"One day the housekeeper went to deliver something to you again, and when he came back, he was stopped by me, and I asked the housekeeper what was going on, but the housekeeper was reluctant to say it at first. Later, I said that I would not tell anyone, and I would not embarrass you mother and daughter, and I also took out my own softness and asked him to bring it to you the next time I went, which is true. The housekeeper thought that I was the mistress of the Ji Mansion and had the right to know about it, so he told me one by one. ”

Mo Yu nodded and said, "Oh, the housekeeper, is that so?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"How old was I then? Hey, don't say it yet, don't talk either, Yuan, you are not allowed to look back, butler, you are not allowed to look up. How old you are, you can stretch out as many fingers, I think my age at that time, your fingers should be enough! Come, one, two, three, fingers up. ”

Everyone's eyes in the ancestral hall were focused on the two of them, the Yuan family and the housekeeper slowly raised their hands, Mo Yu moved his body, approached Ji Jade, came behind her, his fingers lightly touched a little behind her, looked at their fingers and smiled: "Haha, put it down!" As I expected, one said it was five years old, the other said it was seven, and what a world of difference! I'll give you another chance, if you all forget how old you are, my sword doesn't have eyes. ”

Only Ji Zhongting could see it clearly, Mo Yu was behind Ji Feiyu just now, and clicked on her dumb hole.

As Mo Yu expected, Yuan changed the number of hands in her hands, which was originally seven fingers raised in both hands, turning into one palm. Steward Ji was smart, knowing Moyu's intentions, he still had the numbers in his hand. The voices of everyone in doubt sounded in the hall, "Why is it the same the first time, but the second time is different?" ”

Mo Yu roared, "What's the noise? Then he looked at the Yuan family in front of him and smiled: "Oh, it's the same this time." Yuan, you are so smart, and I am so proud of you. ”

Mo Yu paced in front of Steward Ji, the tip of the sword knocked on the ground intentionally or unintentionally, and said condescendingly: "Steward Ji, do you remember that before Moyu got married, he gave you a glass of wine?" ”

"The old slave remembers."

"Then you know, drinking too much alcohol is easy to get into trouble. The night you were on Wuyan Mountain, you drank a little too much wine and said some things that shouldn't be said, do you still have an impression? ”

When Steward Ji heard this, his forehead almost touched the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "The old slave drank too much and collided with Niangniang, and asked Niangniang to forgive me." ”

"I don't forgive you, I don't know yet, but do you remember the advice I gave you on Mount Wuyan?"

What is the suggestion, is it...... Steward Ji looked up at Moyu in disbelief, his lips were already purple, and said, "Niangniang, you ...... Mother's life! ”

"Cut, what do I want your life to do, your life is worthless. Still, I have a crush on your son's life. Say, "If your unborn grandson will know that he has a father who is a eunuch, will your children and grandchildren be able to hold up their heads?" ”

The old housekeeper kowtowed and shouted with a crying voice: "Niangniang spare her life, the dog is innocent, and the child is innocent!" ”

"Then my mother is guilty?" The sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire ancestral hall, shaking everyone's brains. Mo Yu usually speaks softly, how can she have so much strength? "Say, how did you tell her about me and my mother's existence?"

But seeing that the old butler didn't dare to say it, Mo Yu said coldly: "Let me tell you, ten years ago, when you first ascended to the position of the great butler of the Ji Mansion, your power was not as great as it is now, and your position was not stable. Yuan told you that if you don't tell her the truth, you don't want to sit in the position of the big butler, right? You don't have to deny it, in the month after my mother's death, Ji Shoufu, who was the second housekeeper at the time, fell off the cliff and died, Ji Zhongwang fell into the pool and died, Ji Gongxuan hanged himself, and within a month, the three people who were more powerful than you died, Steward Ji, don't tell me that the death of these people has nothing to do with you, of course, you don't have that much ability. ”
