Zhang whispered to Mrs. Hou, then walked to the fan next to the floor cover, and asked through the fan: "Changling, you went out of the mansion three days ago, where did you go?" Who assigned you there? What kind of errand did you receive? Tell me more about it. ”

Changling knelt on the terrazzo ground in the west room, and his heart was worried for a while, but he didn't dare not reply, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "If you go back to the eldest lady, the slave received an errand assigned by the porter Xu Steward that day, and went to Xingpingbo's mansion to send a poster. ”

"That's what you said before," Zhang's voice was gentle, "but it's just that I don't think it's right when you are up to now." You went to Xingpingbo's Mansion to deliver a poster, how did it take an hour? ”

Changling swallowed, but his voice was still a little tight: "Because the weather is too hot, the slave found a teahouse and sat for a while. ”

Zhang laughed.

"You're doing a good job," she said with a little more sarcasm in her voice, "the master told you to deliver a post, and you went to drink tea halfway through." You said you went to a teahouse, which teahouse was it? Where is it located? ”

As soon as she asked, Changling was silent. There was silence inside and outside the floor cover.

"Are you deaf? The master is asking questions about this. The shouts of the servants rang out in the west room.

Zhang waited for a while, and when he saw that Changling still didn't reply, he smiled again: "What? Can't answer? Did you forget or didn't tell the truth at all? ”

In the west room, there was another shouting and scolding of the servant: "Is the dog slave dumb? Hurry back to the words of the eldest lady. ”

"Minions...... Minion ......" Changling stammered, but he couldn't answer the next words.

He did go to a nearby place halfway through. But if that was to happen......

Changling's heart trembled, and he swallowed another mouthful of saliva.

"It seems that you won't tell the truth if you don't torture a little."

In the bright room of Rong Xuan Hall, Zhang's demeanor was very relaxed, "Come on, first slap your mouth for thirty, and if you don't reply, you will hit ten more boards." Again, ask a few people to search his house. Maybe we'll be able to find stolen goods. ”

"Yes." The servants answered in unison.

Changling almost collapsed to the ground.

The eldest lady sent someone to search his house, and it seems that he will not be able to escape this time. That being the case, it is better to ......

"The eldest lady spares her life, said the servant. The minion said. Changling howled violently. It startled the people in the bright room.

The corners of Zheng's eyes widened a little. glanced in the direction of Fu Jun.

Fu Jun put the teacup on the table.

The so-called touch is imminent. If no one touches this matter, it will be fine, and Fu Jun's arrangement will not be useful. But once someone triggers it, it creates a domino effect.

Until then. There's no one who can control what happens.

"The slave tells the truth and begs the eldest lady to spare her life." Changling was still wailing, and the half-sized male duck's throat was pulling people's eardrums.

Zhang frowned: "Howl again, slap your mouth first." ”

She didn't speak loudly, but she immediately choked Changling's voice in her throat.

Changling choked for a moment before he said in a trembling voice: "Back to the eldest lady's words, slave ...... The slave went to Suzaku Street halfway that day, and walked around......" Changling stammered.

Zhang laughed lightly: "It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." After that, she said sharply: "Come on, slap your mouth!" ”

"Yes." The servants answered, and one of them took out the bamboo board that had been prepared long ago.

At this moment, Changling suddenly burst out with a howl:

"The eldest lady spares her life, the slave went to Tianqizhai on the order of the fourth girl that day!"

His hoarse voice broke through the bamboo curtains and fans of the western house, and almost half of the people in the courtyard heard it.

Zhang was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Since it is an errand for the four girls, why didn't Fang Cai say it earlier?" ”

"It's the fourth girl who doesn't call the slave what he said. So the minions did not dare to say. After the first sentence came out, the next words were much easier, Changling took a breath, "The fourth girl asked the slave to go to Mr. Wu, the account office of Tianqi Zhai, to deliver a silver ticket on a monthly basis, and explained that it was okay as usual." ”

Changling's trembling voice echoed in the room, and everyone's expressions became a little subtle.

"Silver ticket? What silver ticket? What's going on with Mr. Wu? Fu Jun's faint voice sounded, and it didn't sound like an upheaval or fluctuation, "Why don't I remember when I asked someone to go to Tianqizhai?" ”

Zheng pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers.

Fang just accidentally spilled some tea on it.

Things started early, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. However, Fu Jun's reaction did not surprise her.

That's not bad either.

Because it was an unexpected launch, it had nothing to do with her. It was the Zhang family who provoked the trouble.

Zheng handed the veil to Xingfang beside him, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing a little worry about his stepdaughter.

That's all she needs to do. She wants to see how that cheap girl can get back from today's situation?

"The minions are wronged!" Changling wailed again, "Fourth girl, don't disown it. You asked the slave to find Mr. Wu to send a silver ticket every month, and said that at the end of the year, the general customs will take the silver back. ”

Fu Jun was silent.

It's not good for her to confront a guy face to face.

The corners of Mrs. Hou's eyes were already narrowed, and she asked Fu Jun gently: "Four girls, what's going on?" ”

Fu Jun stood up, her expression showing a little grievance: "Grandmother, my granddaughter really doesn't know what this little guy is talking about. The granddaughter never asked him to go to Tianqizhai. There are any silver tickets and silver tickets, and my granddaughter has never heard of them. ”

"Tianqi Zhai?" Mrs. Hou seemed to hear the name for the first time, "Where is that?" ”

"If you go back to your grandmother, it's a shop in her granddaughter's name, which sells crowns, hats, and scarves." Fu Jun spoke respectfully.

"Yo, Tianqi Zhai is actually under the name of the fourth girl? I've known this for the first time. Cui's voice sounded very well, "The market of that shop is very good, and the business is booming, it turns out that it is opened by four girls." Her tone was relaxed, and as she spoke, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhang's expression was gentle, he took two steps in front of Mrs. Hou, and whispered, "Old lady, look at this...... Do you want to send everyone else out? ”

"No need." Fu Jun raised his voice slightly, but his tone was still light, "Since Changling kept saying that he went to the shop under my name, and he still obeyed my orders, then call the shopkeeper of Tianqi Zhai and the bookkeeper to come over for questioning." I don't believe in the nonsense of this little guy. ”

Everyone could hear the anger under Fu Jun's flat tone.

Cui's eyes narrowed.

It's rare to see Fu Jun so angry, it looks like he has either been wronged or bluffed.

Zhang looked at Mrs. Hou respectfully, waiting for her to speak.

Mrs. Hou's brows furrowed slightly, as if she was a little hesitant.

"Slave Wronged ......"

"Don't gag him yet!" Before Changling's wailing was over, Zheng suddenly spoke.

Her face was flushed, her breasts were heaving, and she looked very angry. After saying that, she turned to Mrs. Hou with an apologetic expression: "Please forgive the old lady for her trespassing, I really can't make this slave full of nonsense." (To be continued.) )
