And watched the housekeeper compromise, step by step.

After Gu Chenghan put the sword down, the housekeeper also began to elaborate.

The housekeeper said that he had discovered this place by accident, and he had never seen it before, and he had discussed it with the old lady tonight, so he was ready to quietly take away all the gold and silver, but he didn't want to meet Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian.

"You said you didn't know before, butler, did you really eat dry rice when we were adults?" Zhen Chutian looked at the housekeeper with a sneer.

I don't think the ghosts will believe it.

For Zhen Chutian, he originally thought that a woman was a little easier to deal with, but what he saw was more determined eyes than Gu Chenghan.

Even though he has been with the prime minister for many years and has seen countless difficult people, now he admits that he has met even more difficult people.

"You can choose not to say it, anyway, Tiandu Mansion has a way for you to speak, and there is no need to continue to hide the matter between you and the old lady." Zhen Chutian looked at the housekeeper threateningly and continued.

"Lord Zhen, you, how can you do this."

"Well, who gets all this? And what I hid before, let's talk about it now. ”

Knowing that now is not the time to cover up, it has reached this point, and there is no room for maneuvering.

Gu Chenghan is also a ruthless person, this time the long sword against his neck did not leave him unharmed, although it was only a light stroke, it still hurt very much.

"Ah......h

"Say."

"My lord, these are all grandpa's, they were brought back from the capital, and the lord was afraid that these gold, silver and jewelry would be discovered, so he resigned and came to Lizhou.

The lord is a very suspicious person, since these gold, silver and jewelry were included in his own bag, he has always been afraid that others will come and snatch it, so when the lady inadvertently knew about this, the lord did not believe in the lady at all, if it were not for the sake of face, he might have divorced his wife a long time ago. ”

The housekeeper was helpless when he talked about the old lady, and there was some distress in his tone.

"So you are afraid that the prime minister will make the first move, so you will make the first move and kill the prime minister?"

"No, no, we didn't, we really thought about leaving with these gold, silver and jewelry, but at this time, the master died, so we didn't dare to act rashly." The housekeeper explained desperately, for fear that Gu Chenghan would not believe it.

But when things have developed to this point, how can Zhen Chutian and them believe him so easily?

Yu Linglong and the others guarded the coffin, and then carefully counted the gold and silver inside before going directly to the old lady's courtyard.

The old lady waited left and right and saw that she didn't wait for the housekeeper, but Gu Chenghan came over, in fact, she guessed that something must have happened.

"Master Gu, why are you here at this hour?" The old lady tried her best to keep herself in a calm posture.

Gu Chenghan didn't speak, just raised his chin and looked at Zhen Chutian.

Zhen Chutian came to him willingly, and said to the old lady, "Old lady, the housekeeper has admitted to killing the prime minister." ”

"What, no, this can't be?" The old lady had been sitting, and when she heard this, she got up sharply.

The eyes are a little evasive, but more puzzled.

Could it really be that they killed the prime minister, they just knew about jewelry?

Zhen Chutian could understand everyone's micro-expressions, and naturally she could see the old lady's expressions.

Xiu Mei looked at Gu Chenghan tightly.

didn't speak, but they could see the other party's thoughts.

"Lord Gu, Lord Zhen, the housekeeper will not be the murderer who killed the master, do you know the secret of the coffin?" The old lady knew that it was time to tell the truth, otherwise innocent people would die.

"Old lady, tell us what you know." Seeing that things were getting more and more complicated, Gu Chenghan's heart was tightly gripped.

The old lady's flabby eyes were dim at this time, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Chenghan's eyes, but she seemed to have made up her mind to tell the truth.

It all started more than a decade ago.

"At that time, everyone said that the old man was incorruptible, but I found out that something was wrong, and saw that the old man always went to the backyard of the yard, and went all night, and every once in a while, and then I felt strange and went with him.

I didn't expect that the lord would hide so much gold, silver and jewelry, and later I asked the housekeeper to investigate the lord for me, and then I learned that the lord was insatiable and collected a lot of money in the court.

By chance, the old man knew that I knew about it, and from what time on, he began to disbelieve me, and always kept it a secret from me, and I couldn't even go in and out of the backyard of the house by myself.

Of course, it's not just me, no one is allowed to enter the backyard, and then somehow, the old man came back from the court, and suddenly said that he wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and he hurriedly seemed to have something very wrong, and I didn't dare to ask, so I came back with the master.

After coming back, the master became even more aggressive, and you all know what happened after that. ”

After that, the old lady's face was full of tears.

The indescribable sadness made her look very haggard.

"You and the housekeeper were criticized by the prime minister and distrusted, you have every reason to kill the prime minister, now go back with us." Gu Chenghan looked at the old lady mercilessly.

In fact, Zhen Chutian knew that the old lady was not the real murderer who killed the prime minister, but now they had to lure out the real murderer, and the best way was to let him take it lightly.

"It's not me, it's really not me."

"Where's the maid?" Zhen Chutian looked at the old lady aggressively.

Even if the prime minister was not killed by them, the maid must have an unclear relationship with the housekeeper.

It seems that she didn't expect Zhen Chutian to mention the maid, so the old lady was a little flustered, although she was trying her best to restrain herself, but Zhen Chutian still caught the horror in her eyes.

"The maid knew about you and the housekeeper, because she was insatiable and asked for gold, silver and jewelry, so you chose to kill people without doing anything." Gu Chenghan said the guess in his heart.

The old lady sighed and looked at Zhen Chutian, she suddenly sat there like a deflated ball, raised her eyes and looked at Gu Chenghan, "It wasn't on purpose, he really didn't kill the maid on purpose." ”

"Then let's hear about it." Gu Chenghan didn't expect the old lady to be so uncontrollable, how simple a few words, she confessed.

"I'm really tired, you want to know, the old body will tell you today." The old lady looked at Gu Chenghan dejectedly.

"Okay, there's work."

"The lord and my son were not killed by me, after all, it is my husband and my son, although the lord doubts me, but he doesn't do anything to me, I won't kill them, let me have no children, right?"

There's nothing wrong with that.

The old lady sighed, and then continued: "Soon after the old man's death, I discussed with the housekeeper that I would take away the gold, silver and jewelry when you finished investigating the case, so that we could leave this inhumane place together and go to live the life we wanted.

We're all getting old, and we just want to die in peace.

But at this time, the maid overheard our words and began to threaten us, and she also knew about the existence of gold, silver and jewelry, and at that time the housekeeper said that she could not keep it.

So that day I made an appointment with her to talk about the silver, in fact, we didn't want to kill anyone, as long as she was willing to take the silver and leave, we wouldn't do anything, but she opened her mouth to ask for all the gold, silver and jewelry, otherwise we would make our affairs and the things of the master's greed public. ”

The old lady was already crying silently at this time.

Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan were not in a hurry, so they waited for her to cry.

After the old lady cried enough, she continued: "The housekeeper just killed her by mistake, not intentionally, she was greedy, she had to do this, the housekeeper killed her by mistake, please let him go, he is old, and he does so much for me." ”

The old lady knelt on the ground and prayed.

Gu Chenghan also knelt down, "Old lady, you get up first." ”

"Murder pays for life." Zhen Chutian frowned and helped the old lady up with Gu Chenghan.

After calming down for a while, the maid was allowed to accompany the old lady, and they went directly to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper who was locked up by the yamen was a little relieved when he saw Gu Chenghan, "You all know it, right?" ”

"Yes."

"I've been hiding for so long, and you should know about it, in fact, I know that I shouldn't kill innocent people, if I had told these things earlier, maybe the matter would have ended long ago." The butler regretted his cowardice a little, but now it was too late for anything.

The maid's case is solved, but now there are more doubts waiting for us.

As soon as I finished dealing with the housekeeper's affairs, when I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I heard a woman yelling in the mansion, and that posture seemed to be bound to make something.

Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian glanced at each other, "Although the prime minister is greedy, he is also a very powerful person, how can this daughter be so brainless?" ”

Zhen Chutian wasn't mocking her, but she couldn't understand it.

When Gu Chenghan heard Zhen Chutian's words, he raised his eyes and smiled, "There are not many women like you." ”

Are you praising her?

My heart was happy for a while, but there was no expression on my face.

Quickly walked to the noisy woman, and at this time, the eldest daughter of the prime minister also saw Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian, pointed at them and scolded, "I tell you, my father is dead, you don't want to implicate my mother again, and you can't take any of the silver, since it is in this house, it is the thing of this house." ”

It seems that what she cares about is not the old lady, but what kind of gold.

Gu Chenghan sneered, "Are you sure?" What silver wilt thou keep? ”

"Of course." The big red woman looked at Gu Chenghan with a firm gaze.

Not long after the prime minister died, she was dressed so brightly, it seems that there is no weight in her father's heart.

smiled indifferently, then looked at Zhen Chutian, and asked her to deal with the prime minister's daughter.

"Okay, then it's easy to do, the old lady has already admitted that the silver was embezzled when the prime minister was in the capital, since you want it, then go to the empress in person to talk to it, and see if the empress has any other ministers in the court, and whether she will leave this silver to you."

Zhen Chutian looked at the woman firmly.
