Chapter 185: Showing the Horse's Feet
The white dragon envoy rolled up his sleeves, "It's not those maids, their mouths are very hard, all of them are like stones, they can't pry their mouths open at all, and they don't know that they have something to do with the murder." ”
"Where's Jade Linglong?" Gu Chenghan took a look, but he didn't see this jade Linglong, those sharp-toothed girls, it should be said that they couldn't be jade Linglong.
However, the stupid white dragon envoy is not their opponent.
"Just got in." The white dragon envoy turned around and Gu Chenghan entered the firewood room.
A few maids only saw her before the little maid died, and it was not necessarily the real murderer, so there was no big punishment to serve, and they left them directly in the firewood room, and asked them to tell all the scenes of the last meeting with the deceased, but these maids seemed to be deliberately opposed, either forgetting or crying, in short, no one was good to speak.
In this way, the white dragon made this angry go back and forth.
But Yu Linglong is different, his clever mouth, few people in this world can talk about him.
As soon as I walked in, I heard a maid struggling, as if she was forced to do her part, and knelt on the ground with a pop, "My lord, the slave really doesn't know anything, it's the housekeeper, the housekeeper asked us to do this, if we don't do it, the housekeeper will drive us away, we are all children of poor families, living on this job, if it's gone, we don't even know where to go." ”
After that, the maid began to cry loudly, Xu knew that she would be unable to escape the fate of being kicked out if she said it, but she really couldn't resist Yu Linglong's mouth that could break the sky.
Zhen Chutian walked in quickly, holding the sword in both hands, half-pulling his body against the door, so comfortable.
Yu Linglong didn't expect the maid to cry so miserably, so when she saw Zhen Chutian, she looked at her.
Although the two of them never spoke, the meaning between their eyebrows was already very obvious.
Yu Linglong won't coax the girl, he thinks that Zhen Chutian's being a girl should be very easy for her, right?
Seeing what he meant, Gu Chenghan couldn't help laughing, "What do you want?" Zhen will not. ”
interrupted the eye contact between Yu Linglong and Zhen Chutian, and strode to the maid, "If you explain clearly to this official, maybe this official can save you." ”
When the maid heard Gu Chenghan's words, she wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked around at the sisters who were kneeling on the ground with her.
These people were dodging their eyes, but in the end, somehow they seemed to have reached an agreement, and they told Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian one after another.
After listening to the maid's words, Zhen Chutian walked out of the house quickly.
"Chu Tian......" Gu Chenghan frowned and chased out.
After Zhen Chutian was dragged by Gu Chenghan, his expression was a little flustered, "My lord, the maid must have known the relationship between the housekeeper and his wife, so he was killed, and now of course she is directly exposed." ”
Seeing Zhen Chutian's smile so bright, Gu Chenghan nodded slightly, no longer blocked, and went to the housekeeper with her.
At this time, the housekeeper was the most lax, and in his opinion, Gu Chenghan and the others would definitely be messed up by the maid, so they naturally wouldn't take care of him.
The housekeeper who was eating wine didn't expect Gu Chenghan to come, and the wine cup in his hand fell directly to the ground without holding it steadily.
The wine cup just landed at Zhen Chutian's feet, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Housekeeper, how can you have the leisure to eat here today?" ”
Zhen Chutian's words were like a cold wind in winter, biting towards him.
The housekeeper's body couldn't help but tremble, but he quickly forced himself to calm down, "Lord Gu, Lord Zhen, why are you here?" ”
"What, you don't want to see us?" Zhen Chutian looked at the housekeeper with burning eyes, and his eyes were sharper than before.
It was the first time the housekeeper had seen a woman with such a terrible look in her eyes.
Gu Chenghan nodded very cooperatively, then gently fanned it with a folding fan, then sat down, picked up the wine jug and sniffed, and closed his eyes in enjoyment, "This wine is good." ”
"Yes, Master Gu, this is the concubine of Lizhou, the most famous wine in the local area." The housekeeper looked at Gu Chenghan with some embarrassment and replied.
"No wonder it tastes familiar." Gu Chenghan sniffed again.
At this time, Gu Chenghan's indifferent appearance made the housekeeper even more uneasy.
At this time, they came to him naturally not idle, but after coming for a while, but without talking about the topic, can the housekeeper not be apprehensive?
"Two, what is this?"
"Butler, what's in it for you to threaten those maids?" Zhen Chutian looked at the housekeeper with interest.
Facing Zhen Chutian's cold eyes, the housekeeper suddenly lost his senses, "Lord Zhen, what do you mean by this, the old slave hasn't done anything!" ”
"You didn't do anything, what are you excited about?" Zhen Chutian looked at the housekeeper unhurriedly, and when he saw his eyes dodging, he continued: "That maid has confessed, isn't it the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, each of them has the ability to reach the sky, and can say good words in advance, and don't let us see it?" ”
At this time, Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan with a flattering face.
Gu Chenghan also cooperated, although he hadn't greeted him beforehand, but at this time, he fully understood the meaning of her words, and turned his scrutinizing gaze to the housekeeper.
Yes, who is Gu Chenghan, but the people of Tiandu Mansion, although he is just the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't hear much praise from the Prime Minister in the capital at the beginning.
Even the old prime minister is ashamed of himself as a person, how can he hide from his eyes.
Then the butler began to mess with himself.
If he didn't do this, Zhen Chutian wouldn't be able to find a breakthrough, and now she has a smile on her face.
I definitely didn't expect the housekeeper to be so vulnerable, the first time I saw him, I felt that he was quite calm, that vigorous pace, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an old man, but now it seems that it is all in foreign clothes.
Zhen Chutian couldn't help sighing in his heart, thinking that he had overestimated him.
Slowly walked up to the butler and looked up and down.
Zhen Chutian, who didn't speak, just pursed his lips and smiled, made people a little worried, and now the butler's wrinkled face was scattered with a little sweat, was he nervous, right?
"Butler, you are so nervous, and you didn't kill people!" Although Zhen Chutian said this, his eyes were full of doubt.
"Lord Zhen, you have to be responsible for what you say, I didn't kill this person."
"yes, didn't I just say that you didn't kill people? In this case, why let the maid lie, who are you shielding, what do you have to do with this matter, what ulterior secrets do you have with your wife, you have to let the maid die to be at ease. The aggressive tone, every word pierced the butler's heart.
The feeling of being out of breath made the butler unsteady, but fortunately there was a pillar on the side, so that he would not fall to the ground.
"Fu, Master Zhen, what do you mean, my wife and I are the relationship between the master and the slave, and the death of the maid has nothing to do with me."
"Even now, you still have to quibble, are you really the people of the capital who eat dry rice that day?" Gu Chenghan, who had been sitting at the table without speaking, suddenly slapped the table with half a force.
Just a moment is enough to deter people's hearts.
The housekeeper's psychological defense line completely collapsed, and he knelt on the ground, "My lord, the old slave really didn't kill her." ”
"Then let's go through it from beginning to end." Zhen Chutian saw that the housekeeper had spoken, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, sat down next to Gu Chenghan, and looked at the man kneeling on the ground.
Knowing that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, the butler sighed, as if caught in a memory.
More than ten years ago, the housekeeper and his wife grew up together, but then by chance the wife met the prime minister, the two fell in love at first sight, and it didn't take long for them to get married.
It's been decades since I said goodbye, but I didn't expect to meet again in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At that time, the prime minister in the capital can be said to be one person under 10,000 people, just at the time of the expansion of the house, this is not the previous housekeeper because of the unfavorable work, was dismissed by the prime minister, fortunately someone recommended, this is the current housekeeper.
At that time, the lady recognized the housekeeper, and naturally he also recognized the woman he had been thinking about, but the two did not recognize each other.
A few days later, the housekeeper also understood all the rules of the house in the house, and he did a good job, and he was also liked by the prime minister, who was also deeply involved in the world, so he decided to stay.
On that day, the prime minister went to the morning court, and the lady called the housekeeper to the house.
The two seem to be a lot more estranged than more than ten years ago, and the lady knows the housekeeper's heart for her, but now she is the prime minister's wife, and has a son and a daughter, she cherishes her current life very much, and simply does not want to be disturbed.
"You also know who I am now, and now it is different from the past, because I hope you don't tell the master about the things you and I know......" The lady looked at the housekeeper indifferently, and the two no longer had the intimacy they had at the beginning.
"Yes, don't worry, madam, I'm just the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion." The housekeeper was disheartened, but he kept his calm, not wanting his wife to see the clues.
After that day, the relationship between the two was also a master and servant, and they had been handled very well, but the old man suddenly returned to his hometown, his temperament changed greatly, and his wife was tormented, and the housekeeper couldn't stand it, so he came back from time to time to comfort him.
When the old man died, the housekeeper was a little unscrupulous, thinking that maybe they could be together again, but last night he mentioned it to his wife, but his wife politely refused.
Madame has only the lord in her heart, and no one else.
After the housekeeper finished speaking, his eyes were full of loss, "I was going to come out like this, but I saw the maid, and after she was found by me, she was also afraid, trembling all over her body and begging for mercy, saying that she would not tell the matter." ”
Madame remembered that she had been waiting for her, so she did not intend to pursue it, but told her to keep her mouth shut, and not to mention the matter again.
"The last time I saw the maid last night, I had just gone to bed, which did not match the time of her death, and I later went back to my yard, and a little maid saw it, and I never came out when I returned to the yard.
And although there are no maids in the courtyard on Mrs.'s side, there are many maids outside the courtyard, and it can't be Mrs., but Mrs. heard that the maid was killed, thinking that I did it, so I didn't dare to show up. ”
