Chapter 627: Father-in-law arrives at night
The candle flame flickered, and a small spark burst out, which looked a little weird in the suffocating Chu Mansion. Just as Lord Chu was about to speak, he suddenly saw the housekeeper running into the hall in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "Master, it's not good, Gonggong Tao is here!" ”
Lord Chu was so frightened that he slipped out of his chair and onto the ground. He hurriedly got up, turned around and was about to enter the back room, pretending not to know the news of Gonggong Tao's arrival. The same is true for others. When everyone thought of the last time Gonggong Tao went to the mansion to talk to Chu Yueli, and everyone was exposed to the sun, it was so painful that they remembered it vividly, and they couldn't forget it.
When the housekeeper saw that everyone was scattering, he also wanted to run along.
No, Gonggong Tao's voice came in from the door, and people also walked into the hall. He said, "Where is Lord Chu going?" ”
Lord Chu's legs were weak, and he almost knelt down. He barely supported his legs, turned around, and saluted Gonggong Tao, saying, "Father-in-law is auspicious." ”
Everyone in the Chu Mansion gave salutes one after another, and said in unison: "Father-in-law is auspicious." ”
Gonggong Tao smiled, and in the eyes of everyone, he sat on the main seat, looked around, and said: "I was looking for the county lord to talk, but I don't want the county lord to be in the mansion." Master Chu sit down and talk with the miscellaneous family. ”
Duoyan, Dali, Miscellaneous Words, Eight Fingers and other four people lined up behind Tao Gonggong, standing with their hands in their hands, and it was chilling to see them like that.
Lord Chu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded stubbornly, carefully put his ass on the edge of the chair, and then gave Mrs. Chu a look and motioned for them to stand down. Mrs. Chu and the others had already wanted to leave, and they were about to go out immediately.
Gonggong Tao said: "Mrs. Chu is old, don't toss, sit down." ”
Mrs. Chu really wanted to show that she was still young and beautiful, but she didn't dare. She could only smile and sit slowly in her chair. Sweat, but quietly flowing.
Chu Moxing and the others withdrew from the hall and let out a long breath.
Chu Moxing and Chu Shuyan left one after another, and after Chu Man'er went around in a circle, she came to the back window, climbed into Mrs. Chu's room, and then put her ear on the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation in the hall.
In the hall, Lord Chu ordered good tea.
The housekeeper has responded to the two battlefields, and he has to withdraw to prepare.
Tao Gong said: "You don't need to serve tea, the miscellaneous family can't get used to drinking your crude things." ”
Lord Chu said yes one after another, and motioned for the housekeeper to step back.
Gonggong Tao went straight to the point and said, "I think Lord Chu has also heard about the tragic death of Lord Qiongzhu. ”
Lord Chu's face turned pale and he froze.
Tao Gong said fairly: "I heard from the miscellaneous family, and there are rumors in the market that the county lord of Duqi and the county lord of Qiongzhu have never been on good terms. Lord Chu, is there such a thing? ”
Lord Chu immediately shook his head, quickly nodded again, and then shook his head again.
Tao Gong said fairly: "Lord Chu, where is the tongue?" ”
Only then did Lord Chu nervously speak: "Go back to ...... Back to her father-in-law, the county lord of Duqi was a little stubborn and disobedient, she relied on the emperor's grace, relied on her identity, and went in and out of Chu Mansion at will. Her business, the lower officials...... The lower officials can't ask questions, and they ...... I don't know. ”
Gonggong Tao raised his eyebrows, looked at Lord Chu, and said, "Lord Chu said this funny. Don't you know, what are the nine clans?! ”
Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu were both frightened.
Lord Chu was so nervous that he knelt on the ground and said incoherently: "No, no...... No...... Ay...... Father-in-law Mingjian...... This matter...... Nothing to do with us! Absolutely nothing to do with it! ”
Mrs. Chu also knelt on the ground and echoed inarticulately: "It doesn't matter, it definitely doesn't matter at all." Father-in-law Mingjian, father-in-law Mingjian......"
Father-in-law Tao raised his hand and motioned for the two to shut up. He said: "It's just talking, Lord Chu, Mrs. Chu, why are you so nervous?!" Come, get up, Lord Chu is an official, and a eunuch from a miscellaneous family kneels, what kind of system does it become? ”
Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu got up one after another, but their legs were so weak that they couldn't do it.
Gonggong Tao smiled at the corner of his lips and asked, "Lord Chu, do you know what happened to the county lord recently?" Was it possible to stay in Fuchu last night? ”
Lord Chu replied tremblingly: "County Lord...... The county lord recently went out on a trip, and he returned to his house yesterday and lived in the Wisteria Pavilion. As for whether she went out last night, Xia Guan doesn't know. ”
Mrs. Chu added: "She can kill two leopards, and she can also climb the wall......"
Lord Chu looked at Mrs. Chu and motioned for her to shut up.
Mrs. Chu was puzzled, but she still kept her mouth shut.
Master Chu explained: "It's all conjecture, it's all conjecture. ”
Gonggong Tao's gaze slowly crossed the faces of Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu, and said, "Recently, a lot of people have died. I heard that someone carried the corpse yesterday to make trouble? ”
Lord Chu's face turned pale in an instant. He stammered and explained, "Misunderstandings and misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. ”
Tao Gong said fairly: "Misunderstanding? The rumors are getting more and more exciting. Master Chu, you have to go out and go around. What is the use of human life to increase the blessing of oneself, what is the blood of boys and girls to practice the pill, it is really wonderful. ”
Lord Chu was so frightened that he didn't dare to talk.
Gonggong Tao stood up, so frightened that Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu also hurriedly stood up. Gonggong Tao walked up to Lord Chu, looked into his eyes, and said, "After Lord Chu entered the office, his official luck has not been good, have you ever thought about why?" ”
Lord Chu was sweating, but he didn't dare to wipe it. He cautiously replied, "Please also ask my father-in-law for advice." ”
Gonggong Tao smiled and turned to leave.
Lord Chu was inexplicable, but he felt that his hair stood on end. He slumped into his chair and felt like he was in a nightmare for a long time.
Chu Moxing and Chu Shuyan actually didn't go far. Seeing that Gonggong Tao, the plague god, had finally left, the two hurriedly came to the hall and inquired about one or two. Chu Man'er also circled around and returned to the hall.
When the three of them saw Lord Chu's appearance, their hearts almost stopped.
Lord Chu fumbled to pick up the tea bowl, trying to hide his nervousness, but unfortunately his hands kept shaking, and the tea bowl and the tea saucer collided, making a suffocating sound that made everyone more and more nervous. Lord Chu simply put down the tea bowl, raised his eyelids, and glanced at the few people left in the family, his eyes revealing a bit of despair and courage to break the boat!
Lord Chu said in an extremely old voice: "Now, it is an eventful time, and you must have heard the rumors about the county lord. It is rumored that the county lord is a demon girl who relies on absorbing the life span of others and increasing her blessings for herself! ”
Mrs. Chu immediately spoke: "Gonggong Tao asked her what was wrong with her just now, why did you stop me and not let me say?!" ”
Lord Chu glared at Mrs. Chu weakly, patted the handrail and said, "Nonsense!" Now, she is the county lord and the third lady of our Chu Mansion! Something happened to her, can we get out of it?! ”
Mrs. Chu held back and asked instead, "What should I do then?" How can I get out of the way? If this continues, our Chu Mansion will be dragged to death by her! ”
Lord Chu's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he said, "So far, I can only ...... Survive with a broken arm! ”
