After Shi said a few words to Liu Jialu in the study, he returned to the room, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Although he knew that he shouldn't startle the snake now, after thinking about it again, he decided to make an example of the chicken.

"Magnolia," Shi sat on the couch in the outer room for a long time, and whispered to Yulan.

Yulan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What does the old lady command?" ”

"You go and hand over the front and back gatehouses of the mansion, as well as the people on duty in the master's study, I have something to ask." Shi straightened up and said.

"Yes!" Yulan was about to go out in response, only to hear Shi say again: "Don't alarm the young ladies in the family." ”

"Yes, old lady." After Yulan went out, her tense feelings couldn't help but relax.

Today is her on duty, Shi and Liu Jialu have always been gloomy, she is guarding Shi and being careful every step, for fear that something will implicate her, you know, they are not easy to get along with.

She did not instruct others, but ran to the front and back gatehouses herself to inform everyone.

The master changed the other two people on duty in the front, and left a little girl next to Shi at the back door to guard, and called Shi the front and rear gatekeepers on duty and those who were not on duty.

Immediately afterwards, the person who was on duty in the study yesterday was also called.

Although she tried her best not to alarm others, but last night's big event, who would not know, today Shi called the people on duty in the back of the shoulder and the study, and those who were a little thoughtful could guess that this was because of yesterday's incident, and it was rare to deal with people, and I don't know who was unlucky.

For a while, the people of Liufu couldn't help but panic, for fear that yesterday's incident would implicate them.

Naturally, there was no duty yesterday, and those who were on duty yesterday were frightened.

Seven or eight people were called out to Shi's courtyard. They did not enter the room together, but one by one.

However, what made them strange was that Shi only inquired about yesterday's scene in detail one by one, and did not deal with any person.

As long as you answer the questions honestly, you don't even have a word of harshness.

About an hour later. Everyone was asked, only to see Yulan come out of it and say, "Go back, go back and work on an errand, and if there is anything, I will naturally pass it on to you." ”

Everyone came tremblingly, but they didn't expect the thunder to be heavy and the rain to be small. No one was convicted, and they were all sent back.

But just after sending them away, Shi ordered someone to tie up the two minions who approached the study yesterday.

One is Zhang'er next to Aunt Jiang, and the other is Ruyi, a little girl walking outside the second gate.

After Shi tied up the two, he didn't ask a word. The first man ordered one person to beat twenty boards.

After the two were beaten and split the flesh, they were dragged to Shi's side.

"Do you know why you were fined today?" Shi Shi looked at the two people who were prostrate on the ground and were beaten, and said coldly.

The two of them moved their bodies with difficulty, and Zhang'er shook his head first and panted slightly: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Shi glanced at Zhang'er and snorted coldly, "What did you all do yesterday?" I can't find it out after looking at it? ”

After thinking about it, Zhang'er said in a trembling voice: "The old lady spares her life!" The slave said that no matter what the old lady wanted to know, the slave and maid knew everything. ”

After Shi Shi heard this. The corners of his mouth raised, and he couldn't help but sneer.

Zhang'er took a deep breath and said, "Yesterday." The slave maid listened to the aunt's instructions, went to inquire about the situation of the three young ladies coming in, and after returning to the aunt, the aunt did not say anything, and in the afternoon, she asked the slave and maid to inquire about the affairs of the eldest son. The slave maid used the excuse to describe the appearance of the shoes, except for the second door, and by the way, inquired about the recent situation of the eldest son. When I went back, I told my aunt and other things. The slave and maid did not know. ”

After hearing this, Shi Shi was angry, patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Why did the Jiang family inquire about the young lady and young master in the family, and what did she want to do?" ”

"The aunt didn't tell the slave maid, and the slave didn't dare to ask." Seeing that Shi was angry, Zhang'er was scared again, and hurriedly explained.

"Then what news did you hear for Aunt Jiang?" Shi asked again.

"The third lady is set to go to the temple to incense the day after tomorrow, the second lady embroiders things in the room every day, these days I made a rich purse, and I also made all kinds of flowers hanging on the fan, the eldest lady writes and reads in the room every day, and there is nothing unspeakable." After listening to Shi's words, Zhang'er replied after a little deliberation.

Sure enough, after listening to her words, Shi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What about the eldest young master?"

Zhang'er listened to Shi's question about Liu Feng, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "When the eldest young master is fine, he practices in the courtyard, and occasionally goes out to run errands, but the slave maid didn't inquire about what the eldest young master went out to do. ”

"You're already superb!" Shi Shi said sarcastically.

Then she turned her face to Xiao Ruyi and said, "Say, what did you do yesterday?" ”

Ruyi shook his head and said, "The slave didn't do anything else except be on duty." ”

After hearing this, Shi Shi straightened up and raised his voice and said, "Oh~~ You didn't do anything more, that's why I blamed you?" Say! After saying this, she raised her voice violently and shouted, "What are you doing in the old lady's study?" There's no rummaging! ”

Ruyi heard Shi Shi ask about this, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "The slave just went to borrow money from the old lady's scholar, and came out of the study without finding him, and didn't do anything!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Shi Shi said sharply: "Come on, take him off and hit him with twenty boards, and then send him to the yamen, just say that this slave stole the master's finances and took them outside to buy, and was stolen by the master's family and was caught, please deal with the official master!" ”

After listening to Shi's shouting, several nurses walked in from outside the door, and then set up Ruyi and dragged it out, and after a while, the courtyard sounded the sound of "popping" boards.

After Zhang'er heard this, it was as if the board had fallen on her, and every time the sound of the board and the muffled moan came, she trembled.

Ruyi was beaten all over his body just now, and if he was beaten with twenty more boards, even if he couldn't kill him, this life would be wasted, and if he was sent to the government, it would be a dead end.

As long as the master provides evidence, the case will be confirmed, and the minions who are sent to the official will not end well.

After a while, there was no sound outside, and the fight was about over.

Shi picked up the tea bowl that Yulan had been dragging and took a sip of tea slowly, and then said to Zhang'er: "It is also a taboo in the house to inquire into the private affairs of other masters privately, but I think you haven't done anything to betray the master, so I will spare your life for the time being——"

After Zhang'er heard this, the heart that had been hanging back into her stomach was put back in her stomach.

I only heard Shi Shi continue: "However, our Liu family will not use a slave like you who is staring at the master every day, come and pull Zhang'er out and find a tooth woman to sell!" ”

When Zhang'er heard this, she was dumbfounded.

She easily lived a few easy days in Liufu, but she didn't expect to be sold again

After the New Year, she is already sixteen years old, and generally large families will not buy a girl as big as her, even if she is bought well, she will go to a small household, if she is unlucky, she may be sold to that kind of place, and her life will be ruined.

After Zhang'er was stunned for a moment, she slammed on the ground desperately, and kowtowed to Shi's head with a "bang...... bang: "The old lady spares the slave and maid, the slave and maid will not dare next time,"

Shi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Drag it out!" ”

After disposing of the two minions, the subordinates of the whole house couldn't help but tremble, and the people on duty were also extra careful, for fear that they would accidentally commit something and be dealt with.

After Aunt Jiang heard that Zhang'er was sold by Shi's, she was suddenly shocked, but her identity was not enough for her to come forward to question Shi's for a girl.

She doesn't have this right, let alone the guts, this dumb loss can only be eaten silently.

The news soon spread throughout the province.

After Liu Ke learned about it, he suddenly had a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

I became more and more aware that the folds lost last night were related to the survival of Liufu.

As the saying goes: "There are no eggs under the nest, is the catastrophe of Liufu coming in advance?" ”

Just when the whole Liufu was in a panic, a few days later, he received the emperor's holy decree.

And the holy decree was not for Liu Jialu, but for Liu Ke.

Liu Ke heard that there was an emperor's decree and knew that his wedding date might have come down.

When a woman receives a decree, in addition to canonization, it is a marriage decree.

Sure enough, the emperor personally issued a holy decree and ordered Liu Ke and Rong Yi to get married on May 3.

After the Liu family received the holy decree, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, although the marriage between Liu Ke and Rong Yi had been set a long time ago, but the wedding date was set too quickly.

May 3 is less than two months away, and the time for the six salutes to be pulled down is not full.

However, after receiving the emperor's decree, Liu Jialu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the emperor has made a marriage decree, at least the Liu family will not be touched before May 3.

On the third day after the Liu family received the emperor's decree, they didn't want news from the palace, so Concubine Hua asked the Shi family to bring the girls from the family into the palace.

After Shi Shi heard the words from the palace, he couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart.

Whenever she took the initiative to enter the palace to meet Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua rarely took the initiative to let people come to her.

After all, the rules in the palace are big, even if Shi is Concubine Hua's aunt and grandmother, they can't be passed on casually.

With doubts in his heart, Shi took the three sisters of Liu Ke to the palace.

After entering the palace, Shi Shi knew that it turned out that Concubine Hua had asked the emperor for a decree today, which made Shi feel even more strange.

Concubine Hua looked at Liu Ke, Liu Wan and the others on Shi's side, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Get up." ”

Shi slowly stood up, only to find that there was still a person sitting next to Concubine Hua. (To be continued)
