Chapter Forty-Seven: A Storm in Yutan (3)
Yutan ordered to tie up the purchase of Mama, this Mama saw that the general situation was not good, and took the pair of cards to reason with the second lady, Cui Mo smiled, "You don't know anything about this mama, and the second lady will let you shout in front of you." ”
Mama Qin had already commanded a rough mother-in-law to knock this grandma down, the faces of these stewards all changed, and some people ran out to hug the grievances, Yutan ignored them, and called a few mothers' names in a row, these rough mothers-in-law got the order and got excited, stepped forward to tie up a few housekeepers and grandmothers who were proud of their martial arts, more than ten people struggled, they were all gagged and speechless, Mama Liang just slipped quietly to the gate, and was caught by the people waiting outside.
The remaining dozen or so people in the hall looked at each other, and Yutan smiled, "These grandmothers, you are not responsible for purchasing, and there is no false reporting of accounts, but it is difficult to say, you are still in charge of errands now, if you want to continue to manage, go back and straighten out the things in your hands first, and when I free my hands, I will check the accounts one by one, and make up for any shortfalls, otherwise you will have no face when I find out something." ”
He also said, "There is also Mama Liu, who is in charge of antiques, and Mama Zhang, who is in charge of gold and silver utensils, first wronged the two of you, and lived in the house for two days, and when you find out that you have no deficit, I will naturally let you go home." ”
The faces of these two grandmothers changed miserably, and they had already been pushed out by a rough mother-in-law, and there was a lot of coaxing here, Guo Xincheng's family came in and replied, "Second Miss, these people are all imprisoned in a subordinate room first, just wait for the second miss to show off." ”
"Then ask Mama Guo to send someone to escort these people's families to the Zhuangzi first, distribute them rice and grain, and wait until their incriminating evidence is ascertained."
Mama Guo said yes, and then whispered, "Second Miss, it's hard outside." My family found a secret cellar in Wu Guigui's house, buried a lot of gold and silver, that old ghost didn't dare to be self-conscious, let me go back to the second lady and say, the main family had better go out and take care of it personally. ”
Yutan also felt a little surprised, so he had to let someone prepare a sedan chair and check it out in person.
The errands in the courtyard were handed over to Mama Qin, and Caidie took Yu Niangzi and others to check the accounts without mentioning it, Yutan took a sedan chair out of the second door and went to the next room. The first generation of Anguo Gong contributed to Sheji, when the knight opened the mansion, Anguo Gongfu occupied a whole street and alley, and there was a bungalow behind the mansion, which was the place where the people in the house lived, not to mention Yutan here, even Li Houye had never been there, Yutan sat in the sedan chair and felt that the road outside was a little bumpy.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the second lady is here." A few small servants opened the way in front to disperse the onlookers, but these words attracted more curious people who wanted to see what the second lady looked like.
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of a family, Yutan got off the sedan chair, Cuimo hurriedly lowered her head and came over, this girl followed behind the sedan chair, and was pointed at along the way, and now she was uncomfortable.
Guo Xincheng greeted him, "Oh, my second miss, the old slave had to alarm the second miss, it's really a sin, but the old slave doesn't dare to call the shots." ”
Yutan nodded slightly, and stepped into this small courtyard, this courtyard is obviously better than other people's homes, even the eaves are a cut higher, and there is a shadow wall in front of it, which is exquisite.
Guo Xincheng said that the cellar is under the Buddhist shrine in the Buddha hall, buried in the time is not long, the green bricks on the ground leave a trace, Guo Xincheng saw it at a glance, then commanded his subordinates to dig out, who knew that he dug out two large boxes of gold ingots, as well as several incense burners, as well as fragments of gold and silver soft and other things, Guo Xincheng was almost blinded, and he was afraid that he would not be able to say it clearly later, so he hurriedly asked his wife to send a message to the house.
Yutan looked at the two large boxes of gold and silver, and was secretly surprised in his heart, an old servant who has accumulated years, no matter how much he is greedy for ink, he can't accumulate these, not to mention that he has just been buried in the soil, there are many of them that cannot be said, and it is no wonder that Guo Xincheng does not dare to be self-dictatorated.
"Master Hou is training in the western suburbs these days, and the old slave can't pass on the words, so he has no choice but to invite the second lady to come out and be the master." Guo Xincheng was sincerely frightened, "Second Miss, the old slave didn't expect to dig up so much, and many people saw it at that time, and it had already spread the word." ”
Yutan also had a headache, "What does Steward Guo mean?" ”
"Second Miss, the old slave said something inappropriate," Guo Xincheng obviously hesitated, "According to the old slave, these soft ones are of unknown origin, and they don't seem to be available in the house, so I'm afraid, I'm afraid that they are stolen goods from improper origins, and even the house will be implicated." ”
Yutan also knew that what he said made sense, so he gritted his teeth, "Steward Guo, let's report to the official, you first put a seal on these two boxes, you and I both signed and drew on them, and sent Wu Guigui to the government for interrogation, we don't even ask a word." ”
"The second young lady is wise, the old slave will do it."
Guo Xincheng breathed a sigh of relief, the origin of these two boxes was not correct, so they could only be sent to the government, otherwise if something happened in the future, it would be difficult for the Hou Mansion to explain.
There was a seal on the box, Yutan and Steward Guo signed, and the door of the old Wu family was sealed, and the seal was also affixed, along with the doors of the other families, Yutan took a sedan chair and returned home, Guo Xincheng was busy reporting to the official without mentioning it.
This time Yutan's plan has also been disrupted, now we must first clean up a clue, fortunately, Caidie, Yu Niangzi are capable, first check the deficit of those compradors, and then check the antique booklets, and then check one item after another, there are really a lot of vases porcelain antique calligraphy and paintings are not on the number, there are also a lot of fakes of the top jar here, the kind that can be found at a glance, the gold and silver utensils are not much stronger, and the big guys who are not commonly used have lost several.
Yutan was busy for two days, busy checking the old accounts, setting up new accounts, and then appointing new people, and finally just sorted out a clue, the old lady is also going back to the house, early in the morning a servant came to pass the word, saying that the old lady arrived home at the right time.
Yutan had no choice but to take someone to the front of the house to wait, and after waiting in the gatehouse for a long time, a mother-in-law ran back in front of her, "Second Miss, the old lady is coming back soon." ”
Yutan hurriedly took a dry maid and mother-in-law to wait at the gate, and after a while, the old lady's carriage finally arrived, Yutan personally lifted the sedan curtain, helped the old lady to get out of the car, and sat in a small sedan chair, carried by a few big-footed mothers-in-law into the second door.
An old lady rushed over and cried loudly, "The old lady and slave are wronged! ”
The old lady was startled, her old man had always been merciful, and she was busy stopping the sedan chair, and the old lady in front of her felt familiar in a trance, "Which one are you?" What are the grievances? ”
"The old slave is on the second door at night, the old slave's sister Liang Mama is the old lady's side, she has always done things for the old lady, how do you know that she offended the second lady, and rubbed my sister's family into the village in the countryside, and the poor my child went to his aunt's house to play, and was also rubbed away, the old slave said that the earth should not be called every day, and only begged the second lady to let my child go, but he is only nine years old this year, and he doesn't understand anything."
The old lady looked at Yutan.
