117 Hair and Fall (two chapters in one)
Dong said expressionlessly, "I advise you to admit it as soon as possible if you really do it, don't wait until later, there will be no chance." ”
"There really aren't slaves." Yang Cuijiao looked at Dong pitifully and said, her face full of expectation, expecting her to pity her and help her.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Dong's mouth, "Lord Huaiyuan, can you give me the person who reported it?" ”
Huai Yuan nodded and said, "Da Huai." ”
Dahuai Dao is back stepped forward to Shi Lidao, "Old lady." ”
"You're the whistleblower?" Dong asked.
"Yes, the villain is a whistleblower and used to be a family member of Shifu." Dahuai said.
"Ever?" Dong was very puzzled by what he said.
"Dahuai used to be a family member in Shifu, but later because of a quarrel between his father and mother, I asked him to stop his father, but my father drove him away in a fit of rage." Shi Yuechan hurriedly said.
"Did I ask you?" Dong asked rhetorically.
Shi Yuechan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "My granddaughter knows it's wrong. ”
Dong didn't pay attention to her anymore, and looked at Dahuai again, "How can you still know about Shifu and report it when you leave?" ”
"Because the villain is grateful for the favor of the eldest lady, he doesn't want to leave Shifu, although he can't come to Shifu after being driven away, but I've been paying attention to Shifu's movements, and I want to wait for Shifu to need me again before coming back, and I also found a knock on the change in Qingshi Lane for this purpose." Dahuai said.
Hearing this, Dong Shi carefully looked at this person, this person was burly and honest, spoke straightforwardly and had straight eyes, and what he said did not seem to be a lie.
Dong glanced at Cui's mother. Cui's mother left the lobby and went out, and after instructing the little maid to inquire if what Dahuai said was true, the little maid left, and Cui's mother returned to her original position.
"Then you tell me what happened, why you reported it, and how you reported it." Dong said.
"I was just about to collect the change this morning, and I passed by Shifu and saw someone sneaking out of Shifu, so I arrested people and sent them to the government, and it happened that the people who kidnapped the eldest lady before were in the prefect's mansion, and they recognized at a glance that the person was the one who paid them the silver to ask them to kidnap the eldest lady." Dahuai said truthfully.
Huai Yuan heard this. Said. "I happened to be in the prefect's mansion recently, and I was also investigating the case of kidnapping in Shifu before, but the robbers recruited but couldn't find the murderer, so I went to the prefect's mansion early this morning to handle the case. As a result, I met Dahuai and sent someone over. I had planned to take this person into custody first and find out where this person came from. I was afraid that she would be unfavorable to Shifu, but she didn't expect that she would be recognized by those robbers after being locked in the cell. ”
"After talking about it for a long time, who is the murderer? Where is it? Dong asked.
"Bring them up." Huai Yuan said.
The voice fell. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman with an ordinary appearance, dressed in the clothes of a maid from the Naishi Mansion, was escorted in.
"That's you! Did you buy a murderer to kidnap my Yuechan? Dong shouted sharply.
Dong spoke loudly, and he couldn't tell that he was already an old man in his prime, and her unique domineering spirit was overwhelming, it was not an ordinary woman, it was a temperament that would accumulate after precipitation.
The little maid's body was already shaking, she seemed to be tough enough to raise her head and glance at Dong, the next moment she saw Dong's majestic face and quickly lowered her head, but the corner of her eyes was on Yang Cuijiao, who was also kneeling on the side.
Yang Cuijiao only felt that the little girl's eyes were very piercing, she was hot and wanted to slap her and ask her not to look at her, but she didn't dare to look at her at all, for fear that if she glanced over there, she would be seen.
Yang Cuijiao's body was tense at this moment, her face was pale, and she looked like she was a thief.
Dong Shi already understood, her eyes sank, and said, "Say! Who are you? Why do you want to buy a murderer to kidnap the eldest lady? ”
"Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave didn't want to kidnap the eldest lady. The little maid denied, "The slave has been wronged. ”
Dong looked at Huai Yuan, "This little girl said it wasn't her." ”
Huai Yuan pursed his thin lips and smiled, "Come on, bring those robbers up." ”
After a while, a group of five people were escorted to the lobby, two were pretending to be Taoist priests that day, two were pretending to be guards, and a tall, thin and slender man with a figure of fifteen was pretending to be fifteen that day.
The pedestrian came up.
Shi Yuechan's face was cold.
Yang Cuijiao's face was as white as paper.
The little maid's body trembled like a sieve.
Dong's face also turned cold, and asked, "You kidnapped my Shifu eldest lady that day, right?" ”
A few people didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Next to him, Chu Yi presented the confessions of several people, and Cui's mother took it and sent it to Dong's hands.
After Dong looked at it, he looked up at them again, "Look at the people present, are there any people who bought the murderer for you to kidnap Miss Shifu?" ”
"That's her!" The tall and thin man who pretended to be fifteen pointed at the little maid and said, "She bought the murder to let us do it to the eldest lady." ”
"No...... No...... It's not ......" The little girl stammered and said no, but she couldn't say the last word 'I'.
"Humph! How dare you quibble! Dong shouted, "At this moment, the human and material evidence is gathered, why don't you hurry up and recruit from the truth?" ”
The little maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.
Mother Qin stood up and said, "Old lady." ”
Seeing that it was her, Dong's tone softened a little, "Mother Qin has something to say?" ”
"The slave knows who this girl is." Qin's mother said.
"Who is it?" Dong said, "You say. ”
Mother Qin said, "This person is a maid under the second lady, her name is Mu Xiang, and her name is in the roster of Shifu, you can check it." ”
"Bring the roster!" Dong said.
After a while, the roster was brought up, and the little guy sent by Cui's mother also came back and brought the same people in Qingshi Alley.
While looking at the records of Mu Xiang on the roster, Dong asked, "Is this one called Dahuai you knocking together?" ”
"Yes! Dahuai was working there after being kicked out of Shifu a few days ago. The man said.
Dong had already finished reading the roster and looked up at the little girl called Mu Xiang. "Tell me, who instructed you?"
Where did Mu Xiang dare to say, the corner of her eyes swept to Yang Cuijiao, and she only hoped that she could save herself.
Yang Cuijiao suddenly became angry, "Why are you dead girl doing such a thing?" ”
She scolded, "You dares to buy a murderer to kidnap the eldest lady, so bold!" ”
Mu Xiang had already frightened the six gods without a master, and she was scolded by Yang Cuijiao like this at this time, she could only say, "It's not a slave...... Not a slave! ”
Dong saw that Yang Cuijiao was actually shouting and shouted. "Is there a place for you to speak,?"
Yang Cuijiao was stunned.
Before she could react. Dong shouted again, "Someone, take this cheap maid and stuff a rag in your mouth." ”
Cui's mother said yes and asked the maid to go over.
A few maids grabbed Yang Cuijiao and then stuffed the handkerchief into her mouth. Yang Cuijiao's constant struggle was useless, and she couldn't speak.
Dong looked at Mu Xiang again. "You say who instructed you. I will spare you from death! ”
Hearing this, Mu Xiang looked at Yang Cuijiao who was restrained again.
Seeing this, Yang Cuijiao stared at her, as if to say. If you dare to say it, I'll skin you.
Mu Xiang didn't dare to look at her anymore, but she didn't know whether to tell the truth.
"If you say, I can spare you from death and absolve you of your capital crimes." Huai Yuan said suddenly.
"Speak quickly!" Dong said again.
Mu Xiang gritted her teeth, and she said, "Yes...... It was the second lady who instructed the slave maid. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Yang Cuijiao didn't know how to get rid of the rag in her mouth, and said angrily, "You, don't lie to me!" ”
Mu Xiang hurriedly said, "What the slave said is true...... The slave maid had something given by the second lady in her hand, and she asked the slave maid to take it as far away as possible. ”
Magu threw the things she had found from Muxiang in the morning on the ground.
Mu Xiang hurriedly took out the jewelry and silver taels in the baggage.
Those jewelry are recorded in the treasury of Shifu, and the bottom of those silver sides is engraved with the seal of the Yuan family, which is indeed the property in Shifu.
"That's what you stole it, I didn't expect you to not only do this kind of thing but also steal!" Yang Cuijiao was beaten to death and said, "Yuan Fu, old lady, don't believe her, she wants to harm the slave maid......"
Dong's eyes crossed the maids, and the maids plugged Yang Cuijiao's mouth again.
Cui's mother presented the physical evidence taken out by Mu Xiang to Dong.
After Dong took it in his hand and looked at it, he said, "This is indeed the property of Shifu. ”
"But...... What you said can only prove that this maid is not good for Yuechan. And these belongings are most likely stolen by this girl! Ishihara Fu suddenly said aloud, "Cuijiao has nothing to do with this matter, maybe this maid framed Cuijiao in order to get rid of suspicion?" ”
Yang Cuijiao heard what Ishihara Fu said over there, and tears of emotion flowed, and she also nodded sharply in agreement with what Ishihara Fu said.
The Dong family can't wait to use the family law to wake up the rebel Shi Yuanfu, even if he doesn't like the Yuan family, then he can't treat her like this, if nothing else, for the Yuan family behind her, and for Shi Yuechan's ability now, he can't drive them out of Shifu.
Dong didn't speak.
Yuan's and Shi Yuechan's faces were not good.
Ishihara said, "So, this matter is still to be discussed!" If you really want to check, you can't take Cuijiao away! ”
Yang Cuijiao nodded abruptly again.
Dong felt that what Shi Yuanfu said was right, but she didn't agree with his words, but she had her own considerations, if Yang Cuijiao was buying the murderer to let outsiders know, then what would others say about Shifu? What is going on is obvious at this moment, but there is no need to delve into it, it is better to let this little girl called Mu Xiang carry the black cauldron, and the reputation of the Baoshi family is important.
Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Even if it's not Yang Cuijiao's doing!" That's also Yang Cuijiao's poor discipline, this cheap maid dares to commit murder to the eldest lady of Shifu, let the government investigate! ”
Dong's voice fell.
Huai Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Shi Yuechan's face turned cold.
Yuan Shi pursed his lips and clenched his fists, and his body trembled slightly, "Then how is my mother going to get rid of Yang Cuijiao?" ”
Dong said, "Yang Cuijiao has repeatedly made waves in Shifu, and now she is still not disciplined and has such a thing, I think she will be sent to the farm, and she will never be allowed to leave the farm, and she will never be allowed to step into Shifu, and no one is allowed to serve her!" Let her be alone on the farm! Shi Yuexin and Shi Mo Xuan can continue to stay in the side courtyard, after all, it is the blood of the Shi family! ”
When Yang Cuijiao heard this, she couldn't speak because she was stuffed with something, so she had to cry in despair, she wanted Shi Yuechan and the Yuan family to leave Shifu, but she didn't expect that she was driven to the farm in the end! She is not reconciled! She didn't want to! She doesn't want to be driven away!
"Mother!" Ishihara still wanted to persuade something.
Dong interrupted what he was about to say, "Shut up! I've got my own measure...... Come! Escort Yang Cuijiao to the farm! ”
Cui's mother said yes and asked the maid to take Yang Cuijiao to the farm, and asked people to tell the farm, optimistic that she would not let her leave the farm.
When Yang Cuijiao was escorted away, she couldn't say a word, just cried loudly.
Shi Yuexin, who was frightened and frightened, didn't dare to say a word with tears in her eyes, until Yang Cuijiao was pulled out of the door, she suddenly woke up and chased out, crying and shouting, "Mother! Mother......"
"I'll hand over this maid to Lord Huaiyuan." Dong looked at Huaiyuan and smiled kindly, she was not afraid of the government's investigation of this matter, this maid said that the smallpox was rotten, no matter how deep the government investigated, Yang Cuijiao still had something to say about this matter, as long as Shifu did not admit that Yang Cuijiao did it, then there was no way.
"Take everyone away." Huai Yuan said.
The first one was to escort the group away.
Huai Yuan smiled and said, "Just now I entered the door, what happened when I saw the lady and the eldest lady being escorted out by Master Shi?" ”
Dong hurriedly smiled, "That's our housework, so we don't bother with it, maybe it's a quarrel between the two of you, don't you think it's good now?" Besides, they don't dare to mess around here! ”
Huai Yuan chuckled, "Uh...... I don't care about housework...... But I'll take care of this matter ...... etiquette."
Huai Yuan had something to say, Dong understood it, and she smiled, "If there is something unfair, I will definitely go to the government and let the adults decide." ”
When the words fell, Dong saw that Huai Yuan didn't plan to leave, "Your Excellency, it's better to go to the flower hall and sit down, and stay for a light meal." ”
Huai Yuan smiled, "It's okay! ”
Dong said, "Go...... Wait for Lord Huaiyuan to go to the flower hall. ”
Huai Yuan got up with a smile when he heard this, and went to the flower hall.
Dong asked, "What's going on in the morning?" ”
"Yuan Fu is going to drive me out of Shifu and send me to the farm." Yuan said directly.
Dong didn't expect the Yuan clan to say it directly, she glanced at Shi Yuechan, "You go to the flower hall to help greet Lord Huaiyuan." ”
Shi Yuechan curtsied and left the main hall with a few pothos, and she walked to the corridor and slowed down.
"What are you driving her to the farmstead?" Dong asked.
"Nothing! I just can't get along with her. Of course, Ishihara Fu will not tell the truth, in fact, he actually has his own other plan to get rid of Yuan.
"If you come again, you will go to the farm with Yang Cuijiao and me!" Dong shouted. (To be continued......)
