Chapter 272: Jingzhong (5)

Hearing Zhiqi say this, Zhen Xuan had a number in his heart.

The fire was extinguished, and she didn't want to keep the mother-in-law of the Pei family for more, so she gave the big seal and asked them to go back.

But the treasury can't be left without hands to watch now, in case the fire rekindles and they don't find out, it will be bad, so Zhen Xuan left Gao's mother there.

Two rough envoys and two second-class women entered the flower hall. The mother-in-law is better, after all, she is old and has seen some things, and she is quite calm, Musk Yue and Huaixiang are pale, obviously they have not eased up, and after asking for peace, they will stand behind them with their hands down and remain silent.

Zhen Xuan asked Mrs. Xie a few words.

Seeing that there were three men in the hall, Mrs. Xie was a little embarrassed, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The slave is guarding the West Chamber, and I have some stomach pain today for some reason, and I ran away two or three times in the middle." The two were still peaceful, and the slaves and maids kept the door open, and they were so active, and when they walked away, they locked their door. The last time the slave came back, it was already smoking, and she was a little stunned at that time, afraid that the fire would burn the West Chamber, so she let people out first, and then went to the front to call people, and when she walked to the garden, she met the chess girl and Fang's mother. ”

What Mrs. Xie said was correct with what Fang Xianyu's family said, but she went to the toilet at that time, and she didn't know exactly what it burned.

Luo Pozi, Musk Yue, and Huai Xiang rushed over later, and they didn't know the details.

Seeing this, Xia Yiqing only told everyone to disperse, and there was no extra word.

Xia Yiqing went to the backyard first, Zhen Xuan comforted Fang Huaide a few words, and then went back with him.

The master is gone, and the mother-in-law and maids are following. Only the three members of the Fang family were left in the flower hall.

Fang Huaide sat on the chair and didn't get up. Fang Xianyu knelt not far away from him. He was so violent that he raised his cane and struck his son on the back.

Fang Xianyu was about to get up, and almost called this unsuspecting knock down, but thanks to the strength left in his father's hands, he cracked his teeth and sighed a few times, and said, "Dad, what is this doing." ”

Fang Xianyu's family hurried over to rub Fang Xianyu's back.

Fang Huaide glared at his son and daughter-in-law, and snorted: "If there is no use, I will go out for a while." That's what you've done! How did it go out of the water? It's cloudy these days, and it's not dry! Even if the weather is dry and dry, we as slaves have to worry about 10,000 things, and we can't damage our masters. Good to you, the storerooms are burned down! Looking back, it's not enough for me to lose my life! ”

Fang Xianyu made a bitter face, regardless of the pain in his back, and went over to give Fang Huaide a good breath: "My father, we are serious about doing things, but this is an unforeseen situation." It's good to burn up, and we're not the dragon king who opens his mouth to come with water. I've tried my best to save it. ”

Fang Xianyu's family said: "Dad, that's it." But Dad, we do have something wrong, I really didn't expect to go to the water, so I was stupid and didn't know what to do, so the less the fire, the bigger the bigger, if we can be smarter, we can also make the master lose less......"

Fang Xianyu listened to his daughter-in-law's words, and nodded violently: "Dad, you are right, it is the son who is useless, and he did not save the fire early." ”

The son and daughter-in-law said this, and Fang Huaide had nothing to say, so he sighed and said, "The master should be punished no matter what, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

What the Fang family said, Zhen Xuan didn't know.

In the afternoon, this fire caused a person to turn on his back, up and down and now hungry, Zhen Xuan asked Luo Pozi to take Huaixiang to prepare for food first. The west chamber burned, and the two maids had no place to live, and the five chambers smelled burnt, and the east chamber was also uninhabitable, so they had to move to the west chamber of the three chambers, and still asked Mrs. Xie to watch.

Xie Pozi was thinking about things, and she didn't hear clearly when Zhiqi told her things, and when Zhiqi said it again, she suddenly woke up.

Zhiqi nodded forward, and said, "Mom, let's go ahead and watch, the meal will be ready in a while, and I will ask Huaixiang to send it over." ”

Mrs. Xie answered absentmindedly twice.

When she arrived at the West Chamber, Mrs. Xie was not particular and sat on the verandah outside the door. Candles were lit in the room, and the figures could be seen shaking, and the two maids leaned their heads to know what Suo Suo was talking about.

Mrs. Xie didn't want to listen, and pondered the events of the afternoon back and forth, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Waiting for Huaixiang to come over with the food box, Xie Pozi gritted her teeth and said, "The girl will help me guard for a while, I want to find the chess girl." ”

Huaixiang urged Xie Pozi to open the door, stuffed the food box to the person inside, and said, "Then you can hurry up, I still have other things to do." ”

When the maid heard this, she rushed to the door: "We want to see grandma." ”

Mrs. Xie glared at them: "The two girls don't want to make trouble. ”

"What's the matter!" The melon-faced one rolled his eyes and said, "We saw it." ”

"See? What do you see? Mrs. Xie was puzzled.

Melon Seed smiled: "Of course I saw how the fire burned." ”

Xie Pozi's face sank, glanced at Huaixiang, pushed the two maids back to the house, and locked the door: "Girls, let's eat first, and then go to grandma to talk back when you are full." ”

Mrs. Xie brought the key with her, and said to Huaixiang: "Girl, if these two hooves are not honest, you shout loudly, and I will come when I go." ”

Xie Pozi went to the outside of the main house and said to Musk Yue, who was guarding the door.

Although Musk Yue was a little suspicious, she didn't embarrass her and called her out.

Xie Pozi pulled the chess to the corner, looked east and west, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, so she whispered to the chess: "Girl, I don't think there's something wrong with that fire." It stands to reason that it didn't burn much when we found it, and although we panicked and delayed the time, didn't we still pour buckets of water on it later? But the fire burned more and more, and it could not be extinguished at all. Girl, there is no light in the storeroom, how can it burn? ”

What is said in the first place is not the point, but the second sentence is the key. There was no fire in the storeroom, and it was cloudy, so it shouldn't have burned at the end of the day.

There was a chill behind the chess, and there was a plan in my heart: "Mom didn't say it before, did she take care of the few in front of you?" ”

Xie Pozi nodded: "We are all from Yongzhou, and there is no reason to do this." This kind of thing is not without precedent, and it has happened to many people...... That's right, girl. The two hooves said they saw it. I don't know if they're telling the truth. It's still locked. ”

Holding the head of the chess, his heart is transparent: "I will tell my grandfather and grandma, those two, wait for grandma's orders." ”

After Xie Pozi finished speaking, she was also relieved and went back.

After playing chess, he blew the wind for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and entered the main house.

Zhen Xuan and Xia Yiqing had just finished eating. Aya is cleaning up.

Seeing Zhiqi coming in, Zhen Xuan called Tao Aya to his side and said, "You two will go to the warehouse tomorrow to lose out." ”

After speaking, she glanced at Xia Yiqing.

Xia Yiqing didn't see any joy or anger on her face, as if nothing had happened at all.

After thinking about it, Zhen Xuan sat down beside him and said in a low voice: "This kind of thing happened just when I was about to plate the warehouse......

Xia Yiqing glanced at Zhen Xuan, folded his hands, and said half-loudly: "Without evidence, I can't move him." ”

Zhen Xuan listened to this. I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, both she and Xia Yiqing knew that this fire was not so simple. The storeroom is no ordinary place. There is no open flame, there is no reason to burn suddenly, but this matter is still at this juncture.

It's just that Fang Huaide is not an ordinary steward, he is an old man, Mrs. Zheng has always believed in the Fang family, if there is no substantial evidence, even Xia Yiqing will not be able to move him.

It's not that they don't understand, but they just think they understand.

Zhen Xuan lowered his eyes and said, "Steward Fang doesn't look like a bastard. ”

Xia Yiqing also agreed with this, but said: "It's always a family, who can push it away if something happens?" If it is too big, give them a decent one and send it to be raised elsewhere, if the deviation is very large, I will tell my grandmother to go. ”

If this kind of thing happens, the master is also embarrassed, so can't you tell the slaves about the stolen things they do? Don't talk about the hardships, but you can't have a bad reputation for treating the elderly, so you will be dismissed and sent to support in the name of pension.

And Mrs. Zheng, it is naturally best not to pass it on to her. The old lady is old, if an ordinary person does this kind of thing, she will be angry and punished, and it will be over, it is because it is the Fang family brought from her mother's family that she trusts very much, and it will be extremely sad when this kind of thing happens.

If the deviation is small, you can tell Mrs. Zheng that Fang Huaide is old, and his mother-in-law is paralyzed on the bed again, so she shouldn't let them work anymore, but the deviation is large, and this matter can't be hidden.

Zhen Xuan understood what Xia Yiqing meant and responded.

Although the voices of the two of them were low, they could still be heard by the attendants in the room.

Zhiqi also heard it, what Xie Pozi thought, the masters have already thought of, so she doesn't need to mention it again. It's just that the two maids said that they saw this, and she pondered for a while, but she still opened her mouth.

Zhen Xuan looked at Xia Yiqing, and when he saw him frowning, he said his thoughts: "I can't rely on them to make evidence in just a few words, but I just listen to an explanation." ”

Xia Yiqing agreed.

Zhiqi went to bring people in, Zhen Xuan sat in the east room and waited, and Xia Yiqing went to the inner room.

The two maids came in front and back, and when they saw that there was only one master in it, disappointment flashed across their faces, and they saluted.

This is the first time Zhen Xuan has carefully looked at these two maids.

The taller one with a melon seed face is called Red Sleeves, and the shorter one with a round face is called Tian Xiang, and the names are all taken by Zhang Pei, and Zhen Xuan has not changed them.

Zhen Xuan asked.

Red Sleeves blinked and said, "The slave and Tian Xiang have discussed, grandma, when we say it, you will let us go directly, right?" ”

is so straightforward, and it is surprising to say this kind of thing.

Tian Xiang nodded in response, and said: "We were originally daughters of a good family, but Lord Zhang told our family that after signing the deed of sale, he could send us to the prince's mansion, although he was a slave, but as long as he could give birth to a son and a half daughter, it would not be a simple sentence for His Royal Highness to get rid of slavery in the future." However, it's different now, we called Mr. Zhang to deceive, grandma doesn't want to see us, and wastes manpower to look at us, it's boring for us to stay, it's better to go our own way, grandma, don't you say? (To be continued......)
