Chapter 344: Inducement
"Yes...... It was this man who gave Poor Dao five hundred taels of silver, and let Poor Dao say that......"
Fourth Uncle Luo's eyes loomed with murderous intent looming, and he touched the knife on his waist, and Second Master Luo scolded loudly: "Shameless thief, for a few hundred taels of silver, he actually said those words that lost his conscience, Da Lang, you can't spare this thief and Taoist!" β
Luo Tianhuo waved his hand, and the two of them took the Taoist priest out, leaving only the master of the four rooms.
"Three uncles, don't be in a hurry first, you have to talk about it after the trial is over." He kicked the half-beaten guy on the ground, "Now say it, spare your life, this son will talk about it." β
The little guy half-raised his head, and his appearance was extremely miserable.
"If you don't say it, it's nothing, just ask others, one more is not more, and less is not much less than you." Luo Tianhui's tone was light, as if it was not a person on the ground, but an ant.
"Yes...... It's Aunt Hu! β
"Say it again!" Fourth Uncle Luo suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the little girl's collar.
The little guy was stretched out of breath and struggled desperately.
"Fourth brother, you're about to strangle people to death, what else do you say?" Second Master Luo gloated.
"It was Aunt Hu who gave the little silver and let the little one say so." Taking advantage of the opportunity for Fourth Uncle Luo to let go, the little guy said.
"Since this is a matter in the fourth brother's room, how to deal with it, fourth brother, you can get an idea." Tian was kind and authentic.
Second Master Luo sneered: "Fourth brother, it's not that the second brother said, your aunt's heart is too big, this hand is too long, and now she dares to take advantage of the old lady's illness to calculate her younger brother and sister, and she doesn't know what she will do in the future." In my opinion, I sent her away as soon as possible! β
That Aunt Hu, whose appearance is just ordinary, can also win the heart of the fourth brother, which is really strange.
It's like his sister-in-law, who has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and is also well-behaved.
Fourth Uncle Luo closed his eyes. opened it again: "Second brother, don't worry, it's really the Hu family's mistake, and the younger brother will not be spared!" β
He looked at Luo Tianhuo with a sinking face: "Da Lang, I'll bring the Hu family here, and I'll have a clear relationship with this little guy." β
"Fourth brother, it's all like this, what are you talking about? That's your concubine, come and talk to a little girl, and it's also your person who loses it. β
"Catching thieves and catching stolen goods, Hu Shi made a big mistake. You can't just send it away without knowing it. Fourth Uncle Luo's tone trembled a little, his face had regained his composure, and he turned around and walked out.
"Fourth uncle, you haven't finished asking yet, don't be impatient for a while." After Luo Tianhuo finished speaking, he clapped his hands.
Another man was pressed in, an old servant with gray hair.
The little guy instantly gained strength and shouted in horror: "Grandfatherβ"
The old servant's hair was scattered, describing the wolf bèi. hissed: "Dog, what the hell did you do wrong, cough cough cough cough-"
He coughed violently, and Luo Tianhuo waved his hand to send him to the next room.
"How. If you don't tell the truth, your grandfather will suffer for you. β
The little guy gasped: "Shizi, you, you can't." The little grandfather has been serving the old man since he was young, and now he is too old to withstand any toss. β
"Hit." Luo Tianhuo spat out a word. There were screams from next door.
Zhen Miao bit her lip and glanced at Luo Tianhuo with some unacceptability.
Luo Tianhuo was stunned, staring at the little guy expressionlessly, his tone was slow, and his voice was clear, like ice beads smashing on people's hearts: "I just want to hear the truth, I don't want to listen to nonsense." I'll give you another chance, and I'll leave you with your life to give your grandfather a pension, if you don't say it, then you can go underground and be filial to your grandfather, by the way, and your grandmother who is sick in bed! β
The little girl's body trembled, her eyes widened, she looked at Luo Tianhuo in horror, and then collapsed to the ground.
It turns out that the prince has long been clear!
He has no parents since he was a child, he grew up with his grandparents and grandparents, and running errands for that one is just to get more silver and save his grandmother's life.
"I ...... I say...... It's the second son......"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was suffocated, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Then the second master Luo shouted angrily: "Nonsense! β
He raised his foot and kicked it in the heart of the little guy.
The little guy was kicked and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.
He was still angry, kicked again, and was stopped by Luo Tianhui.
Second Master Luo was angry: "Da Lang, this slave slandered your brother, and you still stopped me?" β
Luo Tianhui's tone was cold: "Second uncle, let's listen to him finish speaking." β
The little guy held his upper body and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth: "Shiziye, the little one didn't lie this time, it was really the second son's explanation, he took one hundred taels of silver to the little one, and also took an old ginseng, and asked the little one to condition his grandmother's body." β
Luo Tianhuo motioned for the guards to take the little guy down, and after a while, two more people came in.
One of them is the account room of the pharmacy in the outer courtyard, and the other is the maid red bean in the Tian family's courtyard.
The red beans are tied up with five flowers, and there is a sweat towel stuffed in the mouth.
As soon as Tian saw the red bean, his face turned white.
This red bean is her former henchman Zhu Yan's sister-in-law, since Zhu Yan was burned out of her hair and lost her face, she collapsed, last year she sent her to marry, and Hongdou entered the yard at that time.
It's a pity to think about Zhu Yan, she gives this girl a little bit of decency, and at the beginning of the year, she was mentioned as a second-class maid, which is already rare among those maids who have worked hard.
Could it be that this matter is really related to Erlang?
As soon as the account room came in, he honestly spread out the account book, pointed to one place and said, "This is the old ginseng that Xinyuan has received for most of the past six months." β
Luo Tianhuo took the account book and handed it to Second Master Luo to see: "Second uncle, you see, since the second aunt was not in good health at the beginning of the year, she received an old ginseng from the pharmacy every month, but she received an extra one a few days ago. β
The account room glanced at the red beans and said, "I heard from the apprentice of the pharmacy that it was Xinyuan's sister who came to receive it at that time, saying that the eldest girl was gone, and the second lady couldn't stand it, and her health was not very good, so she received one more." However, the apprentice's wife was sick and went back on leave. β
"What does this have to do with Erlang?" Second Master Luo still didn't believe that among the five children, the eldest son who was the most proud of him would have something to do with the inner house.
Luo Tianhuo waved his hand to let the two go out and looked at Tian.
Tian's face was white, his lips trembled slightly, and he forced himself to calm out a sentence: "Yes, I asked Hongdou to get it, and when I learned the news that Yuan Niang was gone, I really couldn't hold it." β
Luo Tianhuo smiled: "Is it really the second aunt who asked the red beans to get it?" β
Zhen Miao watched coldly, her heart moved slightly, and she always felt that Shizi's question was a little strange.
Tian was anxious to cover up for Erlang, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I still remember that after the red beans came back that day, I saw her sweating, and I specially rewarded her with a silver ring." β
Tian's words were for Hongdou, implying that as long as Hongdou followed her words, she would be indispensable in the future.
This woman's mind is tortuous enough.
Luo Tianhuo sneered in his heart, but his face was faint, his eyes wandered, and he glanced at the red beans, and then said: "The words of the second aunt made my nephew even more confused." β
He instructed the guard, "Bring them in." β
The bead curtain sounded, and a woman dressed as a maid appeared, Tian looked at it fixedly, and said in a lost voice: "Little peach? β
"What's going on?" She looked at Xiao Tao and then at the red bean, and became more and more puzzled.
Xiao Tao knelt down and said a word: "The old ginseng was collected by the servant, and after he brought it back, he handed it over to the second son." β
", Hugh is talking nonsense!" Tian raised his hand and gave Xiao Tao a slap.
Xiao Tao covered her face and choked up: "Madam, there is no way to do it, the prince of the world can't hide it after checking it." β
"Da Lang, I am your second aunt, would you rather believe the words of this than my words? I sent the red beans to get the old ginseng. β
Luo Tianhuo raised his eyebrows: "Can the second aunt recall what time of day she sent Hongdou?" β
Tian was slightly stunned, and his mind turned sharply.
Erlang has always been careful, if it is true that he received an extra old ginseng under his own guaise, then the time to send someone to receive the old ginseng should be the same as the usual time to send someone to collect it.
She was heartbroken and said: "There is a rule for receiving things, and naturally it is the hour when I go to receive things." β
Luo Tianhuo flipped through the account books left by the pharmacy account room and said with a smile: "I remember it, I received it every time, and this time is no exception." β
Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
But he heard Luo Tianhui's tone change and said: "But at this hour, the red bean girl should be a guest, right?" β
He waved his hand, and the guard took away the sweat towel in Hongdou's mouth, and Hongdou knelt down and cried bitterly: "Madam, that morning, the maid's sister came over and talked to the maid for most of the day, and the maid left her to eat, and the mother-in-law who was guarding the door at that time and the kitchen knew it." It's the servant who can't stand you, you spare the servant. β
There are many people in the Guogong Mansion, and there are always some family members and relatives who are not in the house, and occasionally something is found, like Hongdou, a second-class maid in the courtyard of the lady, how can there be no face, not to mention that Zhu Yan was originally released by the big girl.
The blood on Tian's face faded, and he said hatefully: "Cheap girl! β
Red Bean trembled on the ground, sobbing blindly.
Luo Tianhuo curled the corners of his mouth, there are no red beans, there are soybeans, mung beans, black beans, there are so many people in Xinyuan, there is always one who can't go to the pharmacy that day, he just wants the Tian family to tell this person personally, so that the lie is vulnerable.
"Go and ask the second son and the third son to come over."
Zhen Miao glanced at Luo Tianhuo deeply, then lowered her head and stroked the corners of her clothes, her heart sank.
What does Shiko want Saburo to come over?
Thinking of Erlang's behavior of pouring dirty water on people without changing his face, she vaguely understood.
I'm afraid the prince wants Saburo to see Erlang's true face more clearly, and then the brothers completely turn against each other, right?
Knowing that Luo Tianhui was not wrong to do this, Zhen Miao still felt some unspeakable melancholy in her heart, just like what he said when he answered his second uncle.
After a while, Jiro and Saburo came in one after another. (To be continued......)
