“……… Young master, that's the way it is, Lian'er... Lian'er is sorry for the young master, and even more sorry for the young lady! ”

In the study, Lian'er told Li Zexuan everything that happened in the West Market yesterday, and at the end, her tears began to flow out desperately.

Li Zexuan said in a serious voice: "Okay! Don't cry! Listen to what you mean, Lian'er, you haven't told that person the secret recipe for making bean sprouts? ”

Lian'er shook her head and said, "No... No! At that time, Lian'er felt sorry for the young master and the young lady, and wanted to listen to the woman's words and ask her to help find a doctor to cure my mother's illness. ”

"They didn't stop you?"

Li Zexuan asked again.

Lian'er raised her head and replied, "No... Oh! No, when Lian'er wanted to leave at first, two men wanted to stop Lian'er, but they were scolded by the woman! But then Lian'er was upset by the woman's words, but they didn't stop it! The master, the old lady, the young master and the young lady are usually so good to Lian'er, but Lian'er is not mentally strong and almost betrays the young master! Ask the young master to send Lian'er to the government to punish the crime! ”

Han Yuxi hurriedly pleaded with Li Zexuan: "Xianggong, Lian'er hasn't leaked her secrets yet, don't punish her!" Besides, the reason why she is greedy is only out of filial piety to her mother! Don't send her to the official, okay? ”

"Woohoo! Young lady, don't say it, Lian'er is not qualified to let you intercede, Lian'er should die! ”

Lian'er slammed her head on the ground and cried bitterly.

Han Yuxi lent her money yesterday and asked her to buy medicine for her mother, but she wanted to betray the Li family for a moment, from last night to this morning, the more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself, and finally saw Li Zexuan come back from Yunshan, she finally mustered up the courage to come and "turn herself in"!

Li Zexuan patted his wife's shoulder, looked at Lian'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Okay!" Get up! If you can rein in the precipice, what reason do I have to punish you? Get up! ”

"But... Master! ”

"That's it! You don't have to say it anymore! If you get up, you will get up, won't you even listen to me? ”

Lian'er wanted to say something, but Li Zexuan reprimanded with a wrenched face.

Lian'er didn't dare to say more, and quickly got up from the ground.

Han Yuxi's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Xianggong!" ”

Li Zexuan waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Although you haven't beaten Lian'er, you should also be punished!" I can not expel you, but you must do something for me to make up for your mistakes! Can you say yes? ”

Lian'er said with a happy face: "Lian'er agrees!" As long as the young master doesn't drive Lian'er out and asks Lian'er to do anything, Lian'er will agree! ”

Han Yuxi looked puzzled, but Li Zexuan smiled, and then whispered: "In this way, I listened to what you just said, that woman obviously wants to put a long line to catch a big fish!" If you go to the West Market again tomorrow, tell the woman that you have already thought of it, and you can give them the secret recipe........."

Lian'er covered her small mouth in surprise, shook her head desperately and said, "No! No! Even if she dies, Lian'er will not betray the young master! ”

This stupid girl thought that Li Zexuan was deliberately testing her!

Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Stupid girl! Young master, I let you do this, naturally I have a reason! Just do it, young master, I have my own tricks! You can give them the secret recipe, but they have to give you a thousand at a time, and if they don't agree, then you say you'll sell the secret recipe to someone else, you know? ”

Lian'er saw that Li Zexuan said in a good way, not like he was bluffing her, so she relaxed a little, but after hearing Li Zexuan open her mouth is a thousand guan, she still couldn't help but say: "Young master, if you ask them for a thousand guan, I'm afraid they won't agree, right?" ”

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, this secret recipe is definitely worth a thousand yuan!" If they are not willing to pay you so much money at once, you can say that our house has recently been strictly investigated, young master, I have already sent several spies to the official mansion, and you plan to leave the country immediately after taking this money, so that they must pay it all at once! That way, they should believe you! ”

After hearing this, Lian'er felt that what Li Zexuan said was very reasonable, so she said, "That...... That young master, Lian'er will tell her like this tomorrow! When the time comes, Lian'er will bring back the money and hand it over to the young master! ”

Li Zexuan smiled: "Haha! Don't worry, if you do it well, I will be rewarded by then, young master! ”

"Lian'er doesn't ask for rewards, she just wants to be able to make up for her mistakes! Young master, young lady, that Lian'er went first! ”

Lian'er wiped her tears and left.

In the study, Han Yuxi looked at Li Zexuan, and finally asked the question in her heart: "Xianggong, the concubine doesn't understand why you asked Lian'er to deliberately leak the secret recipe?" ”

Li Zexuan touched his wife's long hair and said with a smile: "Hehe! The husband has his own tricks! Lady, you see, it's okay! ”

Seeing that Li Zexuan was selling Guanzi, Han Yuxi didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, but she said worriedly: "But there is a loophole in the words that Xianggong just taught Lian'er!" If those people go to the government to check and find that our family has not transferred their subordinates to the government recently, then wouldn't what Lian'er said be exposed? ”

Li Zexuan's eyes turned cold and said, "Who said that we didn't send the maid to the official mansion?" Get it before dark today! ”

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and then tasted the meaning of Li Zexuan's words, and his face couldn't help but be cold, "Xianggong, you mean ......?"

"Hmmm! That's right! There is more than one traitor in our house! ”

……………………………

After Lian'er's matter was dealt with, Li Zexuan waited for two more family members and three maids to take the initiative to "turn themselves in" and "surrender" in the afternoon, and Li Zexuan explained to them the same as he had told Lian'er before.

But according to the clues provided by Pang Feiji, there are a total of twelve family maids in the mansion who have recently colluded with the outside world, that is to say, there are still six people who are lucky and want to hide from the world!!

At the moment (5:15 p.m.), in the study, Li Zexuan was half-leaning on the Taishi chair, and he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but he suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice to Pang Feiji, who was below: "Do it, arrest people!" ”

Pang Feiji's spirits perked up, and he was finally going back to his old job, he bowed down and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Yes!" Master Hou! ”

With that, he strode out the door!

After a while, the Li Mansion suddenly jumped up and down.

"Where is Zhao Si?"

"Feed the horses in the backyard!"

"Let's go! Go to the backyard! ”

"That's Zhao Si!"

"Up! Grab me! ”

"Oops! Brother Pang, what are you arresting me for? ”

"Humph! Then you have to ask yourself! You take a good look at him, and the rest of the people will follow me to arrest Han Xiaoyang! ”
