Chapter 92: Gone
Ning Xiang followed Jiang Yueyue and trotted all the way to the edge of the lotus pond, and the master and servant were dumbfounded.
It is said that no matter how the two guards send it, it is impossible to pass by this lotus pond, and the cleaner is not far away, and he can run over immediately when he hears the movement.
Even so, the two guards died quietly, and the people around them did not hear any unusual movement except for the sound of water.
Ning Xiang only felt a tightness in his chest, how strong must the martial arts of the person who came to be in order to retreat after doing all this?
"Can anyone see Chunying?" Jiang Yueyue looked around and found that except for a few small people who went into the water to fish for corpses, the rest of the people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the situation in this pool.
Hearing Jiang Yueyue's question, everyone began to look at each other, but none of them stood up and said that they saw Aunt Chun's figure.
Jiang Yueyue also felt that this thing was terrifying, but in a back and forth, why did this person disappear?
"Xiang'er, you go and ask your father to come over."
In fact, Jiang Yueyue's first reaction was Xiao Qian, but after all, this was his own family matter, and calling Xiao Qian to come was estimated to cause more trouble, so he urged Ning Xiang to find Jiang Zhizhou.
Ning Xiang was extremely reluctant to go to Jiang Zhizhou alone, so she persuaded her: "Aunt Chun is a person in the back house, and it is said that she should report to Mrs. first." ”
"You're right." Jiang Yueyue compared the way her father and mother handled things in her heart, and felt that finding her mother first at this time could indeed avoid a lot of trouble.
Ning Xiang didn't wait for Jiang Yueyue to give an order, so she hurriedly ran away, for fear that she would regret it.
But when I arrived at Madame Jiang's courtyard, I found that the silence in this courtyard was a little terrifying, and the more I walked inside, the more gloomy I felt.
When she entered the inner room and saw Ling'er, who she hadn't seen for a long time, Ning Xiang's heart was relieved.
"Sister Ling'er, I'm tired of reporting it, the eldest lady has something to ask Mrs. over."
Who knew that Ling'er opened her mouth and didn't speak, but pushed Ning Xiang out one by one, until she reached the outside of the house, then she looked back, knowing that no one was eavesdropping, so she leaned into Ning Xiang's ear and said, "Madame went out early in the morning, not here." ”
"Madame is out?" Ning Xiang frowned, "What about Mama Pei?" ”
"Didn't Mama Pei go to the account room every day to look at Aunt Chun's accounts? I have to reconcile the accounts today, but I am afraid that I will be busier. Ling'er didn't know what was going on outside, and she knew everything about Ning Xiang.
Ning Xiang was even more puzzled, neither of them were there, and two of them died in the account room, and one was lost. Why is this getting more and more confusing?
"But what's the matter?" Ling'er saw that Ning Xiang was embarrassed, so she asked.
Ning Xiang reacted in an instant, and hurriedly took Ling'er's hand: "Sister, we have known each other since childhood, you are like a sister to me, and now what I say, you have to remember." ”
"You say it's what it is." Ling'er saw Ning Xiang's serious expression, and couldn't help but get nervous.
"Only you know what I've been here, if you don't say it, no one will know, you can't reveal it, you can't talk to anyone, you can save my life."
"This..."Ling'er had received instructions from Madame Jiang that anyone who came to her in her absence should report it to her.
Xu is Ning Xiang's eyes are too hot, and Ling'er has always treated Ning Xiang as a relative, Ling'er gritted her teeth and agreed: "I won't say it, but you have to explain it to me well when you go back." ”
"It happened suddenly, and I'll tell you more about it later." Ning Xiang dropped these words, and ran away like another gust of wind.
It seems that this trip will not work if you don't invite Jiang Zhizhou. Ning Xiang secretly hated in her heart, why didn't she figure out the twists and turns at that time?
At this time, Jiang Zhizhou was already on his way back to his home, after all, it was almost time to eat, and he had always been accompanied by Aunt Bai at this time.
So when Ning Xiang and Jiang Zhizhou's car met, they were a little settled.
Jiang Zhizhou was sitting in the carriage with Aunt Bai, and the carriage was moving forward slowly, and Ning Xiang had no trouble stopping the carriage.
"Master, Ning Xiang has something important to report!"
When Jiang Zhizhou heard Ning Xiang's voice, his bones were crisped by three points, and he hurriedly stopped the car, opened the curtain and looked outside, and sure enough, he saw a delicate little girl standing next to the car, with a pair of wet eyes, and his whole person was fluttering.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhizhou tried very hard to make a gentle appearance, but it made Aunt Bai on the side bite a mouthful of silver teeth, but she didn't dare to speak out casually.
"Back to the master, the two guards guarding the account room in the mansion died in the lotus pond, and Aunt Chun is nowhere to be found."
Ning Xiang deliberately implicated this matter on Aunt Chun, so as to show that she didn't know the inside story.
As soon as Jiang Zhizhou heard this, he instantly became anxious, the back of the account room was his private treasury, and he had been in Zhuozhou for several years, and the bribes and taxes he had obtained were all locked there. What's more, there are a bunch of black-hearted bad debts.
"Quick, go home!" Jiang Zhizhou immediately retracted his attention and took his attention back from Ning Xiang.
Ning Xiang saw that the driver jumped out of the car and followed beside him, and the two horses drove side by side, which only made the carriage go a little faster than before, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.
Ning Xiang trotted all the way over and was much faster than this carriage, but if Jiang Zhizhou got out of the car and walked by himself, it would probably be more difficult.
Speaking of which, the time of driving this car is just right, and the arrival at the gate of the house is just earlier than the time for lunch, so the driver must have tried his best.
Jiang Zhizhou got out of the car in a hurry, didn't even care about Aunt Bai behind him, and ran all the way to the account room. Ning Xiang originally wanted to lead people to the lotus pond, but when she saw Jiang Zhizhou in such a hurry, she didn't speak.
When she arrived outside the account room, she was really in a mess, the door was open, and the account books inside were turned into a mess, Ning Xiang lowered her head weakly, these were all turned over by her and Jiang Yueyue.
Jiang Zhizhou ordered no one to follow, and walked to the inner room by himself, and after a while, he came out with an angry face: "A group of rice buckets, even an account room can't be seen well!" ”
He was fat himself, and when he roared, he shook the mountains, which frightened everyone present to the point that his legs and stomachs were weak, and he quickly knelt down.
Mrs. Jiang got the letter out of nowhere, and suddenly appeared at this moment, with Mama Pei behind her, and also walked in: "The master is back, it's all messed up over there!" ”
Ning Xiang knelt with everyone, and when she saw Mrs. Jiang appear, she set her eyes on Ling'er, who was also looking at Ning Xiang, and when she saw her, she shook her head slightly, which meant that she didn't tell Mrs. Jiang that Ning Xiang had come to look for her.
"Madame, what a good thing this is!" When Jiang Zhizhou saw Mrs. Jiang coming, the anger on his face turned into sadness, and he cried and patted his thigh, "Three hundred thousand taels of silver!" It's all gone! ”
