Chapter 43: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Steward Huang couldn't deny it at this time, so he knelt down directly at Xu Zhen'er and cried: "Miss, I'm sorry for you!" ”

"How could it be you? You have been with my father for half your life, why are you the one? Xu Zhen'er couldn't believe it, she wouldn't suspect Steward Huang no matter what, she and her younger brother were all raised by Steward Huang, how could it be?!

Steward Huang also cried bitterly at this time, and said: "Miss, they are all my unfortunate sons, who owe money outside, and hide from me to borrow money from the Hu family, but the more the money is repaid, the black-hearted Hu master said that as long as I help him do this, he will write it off, otherwise he will want my son's life!" I can't help it, that day I used sweat medicine to stun the young master, and then used a dung truck to let my son transport the young master out, hiding all the subordinates and the private armor of the house, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I'm sorry master! Steward Huang kept kowtowing on the stone slab, and blood flowed from his head.

Xu Zhen'er was so sad that she hated this house slave who ate inside and out, she knew Hu Shoucai's black-hearted methods, and also saw Steward Huang's sincere repentance, her heart softened, so she said: "As long as you tell me where my brother is, I will give you a sum of money, let you take your son away from home, live your own life, and when this matter is resolved, you can come back." ”

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, young master, he is in the Cheng Mansion of Lei County!" Steward Huang kowtowed and said honestly, at this time, there was no need for him to hide anything. Originally, they would not be able to survive if they left the Xu Mansion, but now Xu Zhen'er is willing to give them a sum of money, then they can buy a few acres of meager money to live, and they can also survive in the future. And the magnanimous Miss Xu may let them come back, his heart is extremely guilty, and he kowtows desperately.

After knowing that Xu Dingwang was in Lei Mansion, Xu Zhen'er wanted to go to Lei Mansion to save people non-stop, but was stopped by Qin Yiming, so many of them killed them directly, and the people in Lei Mansion were afraid that they would be on guard, and it would be bad to quietly transfer people at that time, and it might not be possible to say that there were many private armor in Lei Mansion, it was too chaotic these years, and it was normal for rich people to raise a few families.

Thunder House.

"Master, Master Sun sent someone to send a letter over, saying that there are important matters in the yamen that need to be discussed with the master, so let the master go over now." The housekeeper of the Lei Mansion knocked on the door carefully.

"It's really annoying, today I finally look forward to the old man's sleeping slave's room, why did this Lord Sun let the old man go to the yamen at this time, can't he wait until tomorrow?" A concubine complained, muttering a little mouth, very unhappy.

Lord Lei looked at this little fox spirit, and touched his withered paws on the twin peaks twice, which made the little concubine's heart ripple, and she couldn't stop being coquettish, and said: "This Lord Sun has never called me to go to the yamen so late, hey, young people are young people, and they are anxious, but it's a good thing to be motivated, but I can't afford to toss this old bone!" Lord Lei complained while getting up and getting dressed, and the little vixen immediately got up to serve Lei Xiancheng.

Before leaving, Lei Xiancheng also solemnly instructed: "Let the family take care of the door, especially the people in the wing, you must watch carefully, don't let people run away for me!" ”

Lei Xiancheng was still not at ease, there was a timed ** at home, he showed a fierce color and explained: "If you have to kill people for me as a last resort, don't let people find out." ”

"Yes, don't worry, sir!" The old butler nodded vigorously.

Master Lei went out of the Lei Mansion, got on the big sedan chair and left.

"Young Master, Master Lei is gone, we can act!" The little monkey said.

After Qin Yiming watched the sedan chair walk away, he ordered: "Da Niu, you take the family of the Xu Mansion to surround the yard for me, and even the dog cave must be guarded, little monkey, you take the guards to the Lei Mansion to search." ”

"Yes!" The big cow and the little monkey took the order and took action separately.

Master Lei came to the yamen, and Sun Shirui was sitting in the inner hall waiting.

"Master Sun, why did you call the lower officials over so late?" Lei Xiancheng asked straight to the point, his face was still a little tired, and he yawned.

Sun Shirui was not in a hurry, looked at the dancing oil lamp, and said: "Lord Lei, please look, this oil lamp must be cut off after being lit for a long time, otherwise the flame will not be bright enough!" Sun Shirui said as he used scissors to cut off the wick.

Lei Xiancheng looked at Sun Shirui's movements, listened to Sun Shirui's words, and didn't know what it meant.

"Lord Sun called the lower officials over so late, just to see how Lord Sun cut the wick?" Master Lei smiled and found a chair to sit down.

Sun Shirui's expression was serious, and he continued: "Today I understand what it means to be dark under the lamp, Lord Lei, please see, although this oil lamp can illuminate the whole house, but the part under this lamp, it really can't shine any light!" ”

"Master Sun, what is the matter with calling me over tonight? It's not for the old man to play, if so, the old man still has things to deal with at home, so he won't accompany him! Lei Xiancheng lost his patience, looked unhappy, glanced at Sun Shirui, and then turned his head with a snort.

"Oh? Still have something to do on the big night? Let's see something unpleasant! Sun Shirui mocked in a secret voice.

"Sun Shirui, don't rely on your Lao Tzu being a big official in the capital to spew blood and slander people at will!" Lei Xiancheng was angry, and his heart was beating a drum, what does it mean to be dark under the lamp? What do you mean by something unseemly? Could it be that the surname Sun found something.

Sun Shirui was not in a hurry, continued to sit steadily, stared at Lei Xiancheng with his eyes, and said: "A few days ago, I was actually kidnapped by thieves in the prefect's yamen, I didn't understand it at the time, this is too ridiculous, but now I understand, it's not surprising at all, because there are people in our official mansion who collude with foreign thieves and profiteers!" It's simply a conspiracy and a disregard for human life. ”

"You...... What are you talking nonsense? Lei Xiancheng was shocked, if his own things were known to Sun Shirui, then he would be finished, but he was very careful in everything, he could be sure that there was no evidence, Er Mazi kidnapped Sun Shirui, he just added a fire in the middle, this charge was deducted on his head, he would never admit it.

"You colluded with Hu Shoucai, as well as Er Mazi and others from Yingshanzhai to try to kill the official and kidnap Miss Xu, but unfortunately it didn't succeed, the two of us were rescued by Qin Qianhu, but you were unwilling to tie up the son of the Xu family, but is there such a thing?" Sun Shirui's eyes suddenly widened with anger, his face was hideous, and he was frightened, he never thought that Sun Shirui, who was originally elegant and graceful, would become so terrifying!

"Nope! No! You... What evidence do you have? Lei Xiancheng flatly denied it, and he didn't admit it.

"When the temple was broken before, the thief mentioned you, but because there was no evidence, the official did not make a difficulty, but you did not repent and kidnapped the son of the Xu family again, how can you quibble this time!" Sun Shirui sat back, looked at the wick, suddenly calmed down again, and said lightly.
