Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Weakness of the Torture Steward
The criminal housekeeper was in a very bad mood during this time, and since the last time he was pointed out by Zhen Qian in person for accepting bribes, the criminal family's discipline of him has become stricter, and he always has to bring another person with him when he goes out to buy, this is not surveillance, and what is it, plus Wang Qun's hint with the businessmen that time, now those businessmen are more cautious in doing things, and they are unwilling to give up the entire Zhen family's business because of the criminal housekeeper.
Seeing that his money was getting tighter and tighter, the criminal steward began to worry a little, if he didn't find a new way to make money, not only himself, but even the outer room would not be able to support him.
As soon as he thought of the outer room he was raising outside, the criminal housekeeper had an indescribable excitement, compared to the wife in the Zhen family, there was a kind of uncomfortable torment in his heart, the fundamental reason was that one was determined by the criminal family, and the other was that he met it unintentionally outside, seeing that the outer room was small and exquisite, which made people love, he helped the outer room to pay off dozens of debts and then put it outside to raise it, and every time he sneaked and had a tryst with the outer room, he was excited and irrepressible.
As soon as he walked in the door, the outer room and his son, who had gone out to greet him in the past, did not appear, and he was shocked, and hurriedly pushed open the door, his pupils almost jumped, and he shouted: "You...... How are you in ...... Over here? ”
In the outer room of the criminal housekeeper on the left side of the room, he sat on the bed with the child in his arms, with a frightened expression on his face, and when he saw the criminal housekeeper appear at the door, he almost cried.
On the right side of the room, there were two people sitting and standing, the person standing lowered his eyes as if he had woken up from a dream without even moving his head, and the man on the stool was shaking a folding fan in his hand, his expression was calm and elegant, wasn't it Zhen Qian, who the criminal steward hated in his heart?
"Butler, this is not hospitality", Zhen Qian chuckled and said, "Did I, an uninvited guest, disturb your life?" ”
The criminal butler calmed down his mood for a while, and after a short period of shock, he said with a bitter face: "There! Da Lang is really a good means, I don't know if he suddenly appeared here today, but there is something to do with me? "The last time the outer room suddenly appeared at the back door of Zhen's mansion, the criminal housekeeper already knew that Zhen Qian had mastered his whereabouts, even if he transferred the outer room at that time, so he calmly admitted the fact that he had a concubine outside in front of the Xing family, and after getting the approval of the criminal family, he would no longer be afraid of Zhen Qian.
"That's nature", Zhen Qian pointed to another stool in front of him and said, "Prison steward, please sit down, there are indeed some things you want to ask about when you come here today, I don't know if it's the reason to talk to me privately?" ”
As long as he hugged the thigh of the criminal family, the criminal housekeeper was really not afraid of the eldest son of the Zhen family, so he waved his hand towards the frightened outer room, let him out, and sat down in front of Zhen Qian with a big grin.
Zhen Qian also waved his hand to Wang Peng behind him, and when he saw him walk out of the door, he closed the door and said: "Butler Criminal, let's open the skylight and speak brightly, don't think that with the Xing family to help you support you, you can be unscrupulous in the Zhen family, as long as I write a letter to my father, I will immediately be kicked out of the Zhen family and sent to the county government prison, so I hope you don't provoke me!" ”
The criminal housekeeper chuckled in his heart, he didn't know that what Zhen Qian said would really happen, but there was no softening on his face, "You want to blackmail me?" ”
"It's not a threat, it's a warning!" Zhen Qian closed the folding fan in his hand, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it in front of the torture butler, "Let's see what this is first, and then think about how to talk to me?" ”
The torture butler picked up the piece of paper from the ground, and after only one glance, his face turned pale with fright, and his body trembled uncontrollably, and even his voice became emphasized: "This...... No way? I have obviously burned the ......", the paper in the hands of the criminal steward was one of the pages of the account book that had been destroyed, and now it appeared in the hands of the criminal steward, how could the criminal steward not be shocked and afraid.
"Are you wondering why the ledger is still there?"
The criminal butler opened his mouth and recalled the back and forth of burning the ledger in the middle of the night, but he still didn't find anything wrong, but now the words on this piece of paper are indeed his own, how can he admit that he is wrong?
"This is a forgery, you don't want to blackmail me!"
"Blackmail you!" Zhen Qian chuckled faintly and said: "If you say something like this, I don't know how convincing it is in the court, don't think that it will be okay to deceive the Xing clan with your words, do you think the Xing clan will protect you at that time?" ”
Since he sent someone to monitor the criminal housekeeper, Zhen Qian naturally had already set his eyes on the account book in the hands of the criminal housekeeper, and stole the account book when the criminal housekeeper was out, and asked Song Yi to copy a copy vividly, the criminal housekeeper burned the fake account book that night, and the reason why he didn't take out the account book in front of the criminal family was naturally not that he wanted to keep the criminal housekeeper, but that he felt that it was not necessary for the time being.
After making an appointment with Wang Qun for three days, he returned to Zhen's house, but he didn't expect Wang Qun to suddenly send back the news that the patriarch was still in Zhen's house and didn't leave, which made Zhen Qian want to go back to Zhen's house to find out the news, and then the plan to visit the patriarch fell through, so he had to choose to come to the outer room of the criminal housekeeper to wait for the rabbit to find out the news.
The criminal housekeeper who pretended to be calm just now suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant, and the matter of raising the outer room had been ventilated with the Xing family, and it was said that it was his own concubine, although it was raised outside, it was difficult to take it out to blackmail himself, as for the account book, it was also concealed by himself and the criminal family, and the criminal family did not want to be accused of lax discipline, but now that the account book appeared in Zhen Qian's hands, the situation immediately took a sharp turn.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and the criminal housekeeper is not a person without eyes, at this time, seeing Zhen Qian grabbing his seven inches, he can still be tough there, since he can lower his eyebrows in front of the Xing clan, it is naturally not difficult to pretend to be obedient in front of Zhen Qian, and then thinking of Zhen Qian's sudden appearance in his outer room, he already feels that Zhen Qian is probably not here to find trouble this time.
"Da Lang, the kid has no eyes, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about a slave like me, what do you have to say, the kid must go to the soup and go to the fire for Da Lang You have done it?"
Zhen Qian smiled, he knew that the criminal steward's face was low and high, and he saw that the wind made the rudder first-class, and he didn't bother to talk to such a villain, so he said: "I came today, just to ask you, the patriarch suddenly came to Zhen's house, what did he say to the Xing family, you tell me 1510, don't have the slightest concealment, and the attitude of the Xing family, what do you think in your heart, as long as you say it honestly, I can return the account book to you, but if you play with me carefully, don't blame me for being polite!" ”
