205 Where to Go (16 The Butler Appears)
Without Mrs. Gao's control, the three of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was much duller.
After eating, Xiaoyun came to serve tea again and said, "Master, the cook is home, the kitchen key is here, and the master wants to call me with supper at night." ”
Kochi nodded to indicate that he knew, thought about it and asked, "Has Uncle Sheng eaten?"
"The housekeeper has eaten, and now he is resting in the room."
After dinner, Gao County ordered Liansheng and the two to leave the house, and said as he walked: "It's not safe outside now, it's just that the lady has an accident, and it's not convenient to leave the adults to rest in the house." ”
"Gao County is polite, there are many guards around this official, don't worry."
When the two walked out of the county office, it was already the moment of the lights of ten thousand homes. Liansheng took Xu Yan and walked a few steps, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Yan: "Do you want to play a game?" ”
"Games? Okay, okay, what's it? ”
"Good boy, let's go get ready first."
Late at night, a woman walks alone down the street. She carried a burden on her arm, walked slowly, her abdomen bulged slightly, she stopped walking, and kept asking passers-by what she met.
Behind her, a dark figure followed. The pregnant woman walked for a while, turned into a crowded alley, suddenly turned around and looked back, and then walked a few steps quickly, she seemed to have noticed that someone was following her. The black shadow suddenly ran forward, and was about to smash it on the pregnant woman's head with something in his hand, only to see the pregnant woman suddenly turn around and kick hard, right in the abdomen of the black shadow, the black shadow staggered back two steps, and before he could react, he was already trampled under the feet of the pregnant woman.
"Master, come on. Caught! ”
Xu Yan shouted proudly.
Liansheng came over with two brocade guards carrying lanterns.
"Hmph, let my aunt and grandmother see where you are sacred, and you still want to imitate and commit crimes."
When they approached, Xu Yan let go of her feet and grabbed the man's collar.
Under the light, an old face was tangled in pain.
"As expected. Steward Gaosheng, you are really loyal to your young master. ”
Lian Sheng squatted down, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You didn't kill anyone yesterday, and you continue to commit crimes today." It's just that you don't know. The real murderer kills people regularly, and he will not commit crimes so frequently, and the so-called haste is not enough, and you are in a hurry to exonerate your wife. Instead, he leaked himself. ”
The old butler was a little badly injured. Hold your stomach and can't stop **. The voice was weak: "I did it all by myself, and it has nothing to do with my young master." ”
In the middle of the night, Kochi Prefecture was woken up. Hurriedly got up, Liansheng was already waiting outside the study.
"I heard that since Madame left, Lord Gao has been living in the study?"
"Seeing things and thinking about people, I can't help but be sad to see the one left by the lady." Lord Gao's expression was gloomy: "I don't know what happened when the lord woke up the lower official late at night?" ”
"The person who imitated the crime has been caught, and I specially asked Lord Gao to interrogate him together."
"Caught? Who is it? Gao Xianling saw that Liansheng's expression was cold, and he suddenly panicked: "Could it be Xiaoying?" Did you find her? ”
"It's not Xiaoying, but it's also someone you know."
Gao Xianling was startled when he saw the old housekeeper being brought to him: "Uncle Sheng, why are you?" You ......"
The old housekeeper burst into tears: "Young master, the old slave can't stand you, the old slave wanted to help the young master, but he didn't expect it to be like this." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, but he touched the wound in his abdomen, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"You hit him?"
Gao Xian Ling hurriedly went to check on the old housekeeper's injuries.
"To be precise, Xu Yan is just defending herself, I'm afraid that the kick that attacked the pregnant woman last night will be heavier."
"How so? Uncle Sheng, why are you doing such a thing? ”
"Young Master, I'm ......"
The old housekeeper lay on the ground and cried: "I don't want you to be dismissed like this, the Gao family is still counting on the young master to shine in the court." ”
"Old housekeeper, you pretended to be Xiaoying to commit the crime, you want people to think that it was not Mrs. Gao who killed people, but Mrs. Gao who killed people and Mrs. County Ling's dowry maid who killed people, and the blow to Gao County Order will be smaller, right?"
"Yes, people are terrible, my young master is conscientious and conscientious as an official, and the people of Nantong are witnesses, I don't want to implicate the young master because of the young grandmother's affairs, so I want to take advantage of the fact that the adults in Beijing are still here, if the same thing happens again, I will definitely not think that this thing may not be done by my young grandmother, the young grandmother is just coerced by Xiaoying, and my young master can also be less implicated."
The old housekeeper wiped his tears when he said this: "It's the old slave who is confused, I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"
"Uncle Sheng, do you know that His Royal Highness has asked me to stay in office today and make meritorious contributions."
Gao Xianling also knelt on the ground in pain: "Xiaguan's lady and housekeeper have violated the law of the country, Xiaguan has no face to face Nantong's father, my lady is dead, the housekeeper is old and weak, Xiaguan is willing to bear all the guilt and beg the adult to be fulfilled." ”
"Young master, it's all made by old slaves, and it has nothing to do with the young master, young master, you can't be like this, you study hard in the cold window, and wait for four years before you are released, young master, you can't just give up."
The old housekeeper walked to Liansheng on his knees, with tears on his face, and kept kowtowing: "My lord, my lord, please arrest me, it has nothing to do with my young master, it's all my fault, you catch me, arrest me." ”
Lian Sheng looked at the two masters and servants who were crying bitterly, stood up and shouted, "Enough! Do you think the law of the land is child's play? Can you fight over it like this? Gao County Order, your wife and housekeeper are both guilty of serious crimes, and your guilt naturally cannot be forgiven. ”
"My lord, everything is over when people die, my young grandmother is dead, and the young master of my family must bear the responsibility for the death?" Gao Sheng was anxious when he heard that he was going to punish Gao County, and then asked loudly
"Xiaoying is nowhere to be found, Xiaoying can't be caught, there is no confession, and you can only be convicted by your inference, adult, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block Youyou's mouth, right?"
"Even if a person is dead, he is also responsible for negligence in the crimes committed by Gao County's wife and domestic slaves, not to mention that Mrs. Gao may not be dead?"
"What? Dream Butterfly didn't die? Where is she? ”
Gao Xian Ling hurriedly raised his head, and there was a trace of panic on his face that could not be concealed in his concern.
He was facing Shang Liansheng with a sarcastic face, the two eyes were intertwined, one was clear and firm, the other was panicked and dodged, and finally Gao Xian Ling was defeated, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that it is Xiaoying who died, my mother, and she...... Escaped? ”
"This is for you, Lord Gao."
Lian Sheng's tone was cold, and with a wave of his hand, two brocade guards walked over.
"Carefully search the tall man's study, and don't let go of any corner, there must be a secret door during the period."
"Yes." Jin Yiwei led the order and rushed into the study.
When Gao Xianling heard this, he vented his momentum and asked in a sneering voice: "My lord, do you suspect that I am hiding people?" ”
"Most people don't want to eat because of worry, but tall adults have a strong appetite, and they have to have supper at night, and at the same time they need people to send meals to the study to eat, I think, these meals should not be eaten alone, right?"
"My lord is really clever, Gao...... It's really a class axe, which makes people laugh. ”
Gao Xianling shook his head with a wry smile: "I just can't bear the lady, and I don't want her to continue to make mistakes, so I can only protect her in this way, I didn't expect to be recognized by adults, I really think I'm smart, in fact, in the eyes of adults, Gao is just an unconscious clown." ”
"No, it's not as you think, I actually envy your husband and wife very much, and I feel sorry for Mrs. Gao, you hide Mrs. Gao, I think it's human nature to understand, just like Yu ...... As His Royal Highness said, if you are like Wu Qi who killed his wife and begged for a general, and Dou Huaizhen who killed his wife in the Tang Dynasty to prove himself, I would look down on such a cold-blooded and ruthless person who is only dedicated to his career. After Liansheng said this, Gao Xianling burst into tears.
Jin Yiwei came over and said: "My lord, I found a cellar in the study and found a ......."
Jin Yiwei really didn't know what words to use to describe the person he found: a sparse white hair, skinny and wrinkled, and his eyes were full of cloudiness, such an old woman who looked a hundred years old, was it really Mrs. Gao who was hidden? (To be continued......)
