Chapter 60: Into the Heart
"Both, you're done today. Here's a little money, give the two of you a drink. When Tang Fu was about to send them to the gate, he took out a bag of silver in his arms.
"It's an honor for the little ones to do things for the Hou Mansion, how can you ask for this!" The slightly more clever official hurriedly shirked it, and the other official didn't say anything.
"You are here in the dust, as the master's family, you should be left to eat a hot meal, but now that this happens, it is inconvenient in the house, so I can only wronged you!" I have to say that it is not unreasonable for Tang Fu to be able to mix left and right in the Tang Mansion, this is absolutely beautiful.
The little ones accepted it, "can do the errand of the government at the grassroots level, and all of them are also good people."
"Today's matter is still expected to be kept secret by the two of you, it must be that the eldest lady is Yun Ying's unmarried daughter, and she is so young at such a young age...... Poor man, too! Tang Fu's words were to the point, and he believed that a wise person would understand what he meant.
"Please also rest assured that Steward Tang, the little ones know what to do." They still understand the truth of taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others.
"Then I won't send the two, there are still a lot of things to be busy in the house." Tang Fu made a gesture of please to them.
"Steward Tang is a busy man, and it's inconvenient for the small ones to bother." The reason why the two officials were so polite to Tang Fu was because of the face of the Hou Mansion. There must be seven officials in front of the prime minister, and it is not something that these little people can offend.
As soon as the two officials came out of the Hou Mansion, they were seen by someone with a heart, and that person with a heart was the person sent by Cheng Yu to monitor the movements of the Hou Mansion.
After he returned from that small courtyard last time, he just wanted to find a chance to retaliate against her, but found that the person was missing. He asked people to go to the Hou Mansion to inquire about the situation, but the people in the Hou Mansion seemed to deliberately avoid this question. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so he has an extra eye to let people pay attention to the movements of the Hou Mansion.
As for why he did this, even he couldn't tell. Maybe it's because I've been tricked by her, so I'm unwilling, maybe it's because of other reasons.
The two officials had just found an inn to stay in, and planned to rest for a day before going back. Before they could get some rest, there was a knock on the door.
They don't dare to get angry, this must be Chang'an City, and a random little person is not something they can offend.
"Who are you?" The person who came was Cheng Yu.
"May I ask who this lord is?" One of the clever officials looked at Cheng Yu, who was full of official authority, and asked with some uncertainty.
"You don't need to know who I am, as long as you explain the situation that you should explain, I will not embarrass you." In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Cheng Yu did not report to his home.
"The little ones are the officials of Xiatai County, and they are here on business." They kept an eye on it, they just took the hush money from others, and they couldn't sell them with a turn of face.
"Business trip, huh...... Without an order from the imperial court, all public officials are not allowed to leave their places at will. The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth hooked up a sneer, and his eyes looked straight at them with cold eyes.
"My lord spare my life" The two officials fell to their knees in fright, and the other party could tell the order of the imperial court, and it must be an official. Coupled with the tough tone of the other party's speech, all kinds of performances are not something they can offend.
"Say it! I'm still the same sentence, you can leave after explaining the matter. "Two little servants, just a few words of scare, it is enough for them to choke.
The two officials glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and told them what they meant, as for the things that Steward Tang explained, they could only silently say sorry to him in their hearts.
If they don't explain things clearly, they will definitely not be able to get out of this Chang'an City. They know better than anyone how many unjustly killed ghosts there are in prison.
"What do you say? She's dead...... "After the two officials explained the ins and outs of the matter, Cheng Yu sat there stupidly, incredulous at what they said, how could that dead woman die?
"It is indeed the household registration of the eldest lady of the Yihou Mansion, and those clothes are also proved to be hers. As for the corpses, they were eaten by the beasts until they were reduced to minced flesh and bones, so ......" the speakers kept an eye on them, and brushed aside the part of their dereliction of duty that they were unwilling to do.
"Enough...... Cheng Yu couldn't listen anymore, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of miserable situation it was like for that smiling face to be gnawed by a fierce beast.
Cheng Yu, who was depressed, left the inn, he felt worthless for Tang Shiyu, pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years, but he didn't expect to lose his life in the end.
He touched his chest, and there was a muffled ache there. It turned out that something was wrong with him during this time, that dead woman had already entered here.
The two officials faced each other, feeling that the adult who had just left was a little strange.
"The more you know, the faster you die, you won't know this truth!" The person who spoke was Cheng Yu's entourage Qingjian, and I saw him with his arms around his chest and looking coldly at the two officials.
"The little ones don't know anything" Both of them were a little pale, and they felt that Chang'an City was too dangerous. They decided that as long as the big Buddha in front of them was gone, they quickly packed up their bags and left, and they would never stay here again.
"Hmph, don't make me think that the dead are the safest!" Qingjian, who sneered, did not look like an official's entourage, but like a murderous executioner.
"The adults spare their lives, and the little ones pack up their things and leave here, and they swear that they will never come here again." The two of them raised two fingers and swore at the Heavenly Gambling Curse, and it wasn't until Qingjian nodded that they felt like they had saved their lives.
The reason why Qingjian did this was nothing more than to keep his master's reputation. One must be an official of the previous dynasty, and the other is an unmarried daughter in the backyard, no matter how you look at it, the two will not have any relationship.
The master of his family heard the news of the other party's death but was so out of shape that he would have eyes to find the problem. He doesn't care who the other party is, and what the relationship is with his master, he doesn't allow any dirty things to be detained on his master.
Tang Shiyu, who was far away with the official, didn't know that the news of his death had spread to Chang'an City. I don't know how the news of her death will affect others.
She was in a good mood and found two more pork stalls to provide her with pig water. It's a pity that the business of those two is not as good as Butcher Chen, and the two families together have more than Butcher Chen's family.
She thought it would take some troubles, but she didn't expect that people would happily agree, but the price was two pennies more than that of Butcher Chen. She can also understand this, she must not have bought meat from others.
Then she went to buy a few big wooden barrels and big wooden basins and the like, and made more and more braised meat, and she had to prepare a little more.
She went to buy a few more ingredients, she planned to buy these things today, and those things tomorrow, in short, the ingredients she bought were different every day to confuse the public.
