Chapter 361: Loss

Xu Qi strode back, pointing to a few people who were controlled by the official messenger: "This is Wang Wu, this is Luo Hei...... They are all members of the Hou Mansion, I know them all! ”

The steward's face changed greatly: "Eldest son, how can you be like this!" ”

How can this unscrupulous loser do something that destroys his family.

Xu Qi sneered: "Chief steward, I am now the Xu Dalang in your mouth, not a big prince." ”

The resentment of being kicked out of the house suddenly exploded at this moment, giving him the urge to die with the Hou Mansion.

Seeing that his stepmother happily took out 5,000 taels of silver to pay off his gambling debts, he was moved.

Why is he so stupid!

The stepmother paid off the gambling debts on the front foot, and snatched it back on the back foot, if these family members were not caught by the officials, could those gangsters spare him a person who was kicked out of the house?

He's stupid, but he can't even think of something so simple.

The more Xu Qi thought about it, the more cold he became, and he trembled with anger.

is angry at the cruelty of his father and stepmother, and even more angry at his own stupidity.

The steward was drenched in cold sweat when he heard this: "Eldest prince, you can't talk nonsense, these people are not from the Hou Mansion at all!" ”

At this time, you can only bite to death and deny it, otherwise the face of the Hou Mansion will be lost.

Facing the stiff-mouthed steward of the dead duck, Xu Qi had never been so bright for a moment: "You said that they are not from the Hou Mansion, that is, I am lying?" ”

The young man looked at the onlookers and shouted, "With so many neighbors watching, isn't there any one who can recognize them?" ”

Everyone didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and soon someone hid in the crowd and shouted: "I know that Luo Hei, his mother-in-law used to grind tofu on the street, and she looks so good." ”

"I know Wang Wu......"

The steward's face became more and more ugly, and he was busy making people report to the Marquis of Changchun.

The leader smiled: "Since these robbers in broad daylight are the Hou Mansion's family members, I have to ask the Hou Ye to explain the situation." ”

The steward was half angry, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division of the Heart Dao also dared to play tricks in front of the Hou Mansion, which was really evil.

However, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he could only smile on his face.

"Let's go in and talk, it's not good to stand outside in the snow."

Of course, the leader wanted to go in and talk.

Not to mention that you can drink steaming tea after entering, it is inevitable that you will get a sum of money.

But no, Miss Luo is watching!

This is not a good performance, who will you find to reason with Miss Luo slapping him when she turns around?

The leader was bitter in his heart, and he couldn't explain it, so he had to pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring with a straight face: "It's better to make it clear outside." ”

Changchun Hou, who got the news, hurriedly walked out.

"What's going on?"

The leading officer arched his hand: "Master Hou, that's the case, our brothers were patrolling, and suddenly heard people shouting for robbery, and when I rushed over, I saw these people blocking people in the alley and robbing them." Let's take down the robbers, and when we asked, we found out that the robbers turned out to be the family members of your mansion, saying that they wanted to get back the 5,000 taels of silver tickets that were taken away by these gangsters. ”

Changchun Hou didn't know about Yang's arrangement, and at this moment he was shocked and angry, looking at those few family members.

Several family members wanted to kneel down to explain to Changchun Hou, but they were afraid that they would confirm their identities in this way, so they blushed one by one.

They didn't admit it, it was these officials who opened their mouths to talk nonsense!

It's also strange, how did these officials know that they were from the Marquis of Changchun's mansion, and they knew that the purpose of blocking those gangsters was to recover the five thousand taels of silver tickets that were taken?

What's even more strange is that these officials are obviously not very good, but they always slip under their feet when they fight, and they are taken down by the other party not long after.

Facing the pale-faced Marquis of Changchun, several family members were frightened and aggrieved, and they felt that they had no way to live.

There are many families in the Hou Mansion, and the Marquis of Changchun couldn't recognize them all, but these people are all outstanding among them, so they naturally look familiar.

Changchun Hou immediately glanced at the steward.

The steward gave a vague look.

Changchun Hou's heart sank suddenly.

It seems that what the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division said is true!

He had just dealt with the matter of his eldest son, and he thought that he would be able to clean up for a while, but he didn't expect such a moth to come out again.

The leading officer almost coughed: "Master Hou, I have just received confirmation from the neighbors that these robbers are indeed members of your family. I don't know if you know about this, if it's a servant who committed murderβ€”"

The Marquis of Changchun was excited, and his anger was immediately suppressed by fear.

This matter has already been caused in front of people, and he must not be charged with arson!

The Marquis of Changchun Mansion is dispensable in the eyes of the emperor, if someone insists on making trouble in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely not protect it.

There are so many nobles in the capital, and the emperor is probably worried that he will not be able to reduce the expenditure of the national treasury.

Changchun Hou stared coldly at the steward, and asked sharply: "What the hell is going on, you arranged the person?" ”

When the steward heard Changchunhou's words, it was like five thunderbolts, and his eyes turned black.

It's over, Master Hou wants him to take the blame!

"I'll ask you." Changchun Hou's cold voice came, and every word was like a heavy hammer, smashing into the heart of the steward.

The steward bent down with a white face, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all small and confused, and I feel sorry that so much silver is cheaper than a few gangsters, so I sent a few of them to chase back the silver tickets......"

Before he could finish speaking, the steward collapsed to the ground, and sat on the snow shivering.

Can he not carry this pot?

Apparently not.

More than a dozen members of his family were pinched in the palms of the Hou Ye and his wife, if he didn't stand up and carry this pot, he would not be the only one who died.

The steward thought like this, and cloudy tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

The tears were hot, and they smashed a small pit in the snow, and they were quickly covered by the falling snow.

Xu Qi looked at all this coldly, and his mood was happy and complicated.

Just now he was in charge of his yin and yang weirdness, but in a blink of an eye, he became a water dog, and life is really impermanent.

He couldn't help but go to see the Marquis of Changchun.

Changchun Hou didn't glance in the direction where the young man was, and said to the leader with a forced smile: "I'm really ashamed, blame me for not restraining the servant and letting him do such a ridiculous thing." Take this foolish thing away, the Hou Mansion will never protect it. ”

The leader almost nodded: "Thank you Lord Hou for your understanding, we really want to bring people back to the yamen for business." ”

It's mainly to give advice to Miss Luo.

Arresting the chief steward of the Marquis of Changchun, presumably that little aunt and grandmother should be satisfied, right?

Changchun Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is acceptable to sacrifice a steward to end this matter.

Of course, it is not a good reputation for not being strict with people, but it is much better than arsoning with servants.

"Then don't bother Master Hou. Take! ”

In front of him, the official was about to leave, and the triangular eyes couldn't help it: "Wait a minute-"

Countless eyes fell on him.

Triangle subconsciously straightened up and asked in a loud voice: "Then what about our five thousand taels of silver?" ”

Changchun Hou was stunned: "What five thousand taels of silver?" ”

Didn't those wine bags and rice bags be caught by the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and what happened to the silver?

"That's right, when your family robbed us, the box containing the silver ticket was snatched by a little beggar who fished in troubled waters. That little beggar is running fast, he must not be able to find it back, does the Hou Mansion have to make up for our losses? ”
