Chapter 46: The Betrayal Steward

Two days later, Sun Rong and his wife resigned from Sun Shaozu, resigned from Yingchun, and left Sun's mansion.

Aunt Chen quietly sent Sun Rong's family to the corner gate, with some reluctance in her eyes. Sun Rong's family knelt down and held Aunt Chen's hand: "Auntie, after we leave, please take care of your aunt." Madame is a powerful person, please be careful in everything. ”

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Chen nodded, and asked Xiangshe to send Sun Rong's family out. When I came back with the little girl, I was even more panicked.

Madam! It's all damn Mrs. who forced Sun Rong and his wife away! Otherwise, even if this housekeeping is managed by his wife, he has the ability to get the housekeeping back. It's good now, Sun Rong and his wife are gone, how can anyone help her.

Aunt Chen gritted her silver teeth and went back to her yard.

Sun Rong's father-in-law's house had already been ordered to buy a buyer, and Sun Rong was waiting for people to carry the boxes into the carriage, and he was eager to put on his wings and leave Kyoto as soon as possible.

The boxes were placed, and Sun Rong led a few people to the city gate in a carriage.

In the carriage, Sun Rong couldn't help but scold Sun Rong's family: "Useless mother-in-law, she can't even hide a lady, and she almost provoked us." It's really known to the master, we have been busy all these years. Originally, I wanted to get another three years and five years of him, but now I can only stop it, and it would be good to keep the current silver. ”

Sun Rong's family was scolded and muttered quietly: "Where did I think that Mrs. would be so powerful, if you don't care about everything like the master, we won't end up today." ”

Sun Rong scolded his mother-in-law again: "Aren't you in the inner courtyard every day, don't you know that Mrs. is a powerful person?!" What do you have to do in a month? Take a straw stick to poke the tiger's nose and eye, Madame doesn't clean you up, which one to clean up? It's all bad for you stupid! ”

Sun Rong's family was so scolded that they didn't dare to say anything anymore. After a good day, Sun Rongjia asked timidly: "You say, why did Madame let us go so easily?" ”

Sun Rong narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light: "Madam is a real understanding person." What about the mirror in her heart, even if she tells the master, the master will believe her? She walks on the front foot, and I hide my father-in-law and them on the back foot? When the time comes, Madame will say that the house is ours, who can prove it? Even if Mrs. takes you and your father-in-law, and I get the letter, won't I get out of the house? Hmph, Madame did this, but she also understood her position in the master's heart. ”

Sun Rong's family finally showed a smile: "In the end, it's still your idea, we have kept the silver over the years, and we can return home." ”

Sun Rong listened to what his mother-in-law said, and thought of the boxes in the carriage behind, and gradually showed a smile on his face.

Returning home, yes, if you go back, you will be a rich man!

Several carriages marched to the gate of the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate stopped the group and said that they would routinely inspect the carriages.

When Sun Rong heard the sound, he immediately got out of the carriage, stepped forward and bowed to the leading guard, with a smile on his face: "Official, the little one is going to move back to his hometown, so he has more things." ”

The guard ignored Sun Rong and walked towards the carriage behind. Sun Rong hurriedly stepped forward, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and stuffed it into the guard's hand: "Official, please drink some water and wine from the officials guarding the city." ”

The guard weighed the weight of the silver and smiled slightly: "You are a good person, but you still have to do business as usual." As he spoke, he stuffed the silver back into Sun Rong's hand.

Sun Rong was still happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, and when he saw that the guards had stuffed the silver back, his heart beat a drum. Is there less silver? It shouldn't be, ten taels of silver, how much money are there for the guards.

Sun Rong was not good at attacking, and continued to laugh and said: "This official, I am the butler of Sun Shaozu, the commander of the military department, and I am grateful to the master for letting me out, and I also ask the official to make it convenient." ”

The guards looked Sun Rong up and down: "It turned out to be Lord Sun's butler." Then we'll have to look it all the more carefully. Since it was released, there was no need for so many carriages and horses. As he spoke, he asked someone to open the box and call someone to inspect it carefully.

Sun Rong's face turned gray, how could he listen to the guard's words, as if he had planned it a long time ago, and he had to check himself? Could it be......

After a while, the soldiers in the back came forward and reported: "There are three thousand taels of silver in the chest in the back." ”

When the guard heard this, his face immediately sank, and he ordered the soldiers to tie them all up.

Sun Shaozu was in the yamen, and when he saw the people from Shuntianfu, he came to invite him. Sun Shaozu took people to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

Lord Wang, the Tongzhi of Shuntian Mansion, welcomed Sun Shaozu in, and when he arrived in the small hall, Lord Wang sent people around him to say to Sun Shaozu: "Brother Sun, your housekeeper is really inappropriate. ”

Sun Shaozu frowned and did not speak.

Lord Wang said again: "Brother Sun, not to mention the softness in Sun Rong's carriage box, there are three thousand taels of silver in a single pattern. ”

Sun Shaozu was particularly surprised when he heard this, since Sun Rong suddenly resigned, he was a little suspicious of Sun Rong, so he asked Shuntianfu to help him block Sun Rong and investigate it strictly. Unexpectedly, Sun Rong actually carried so much money on his back, and it was not soft.

Seeing that Sun Shaozu's face changed slightly, Lord Wang said again: "I already asked just now, and Sun Rong also recruited, this is the silver tael that he has deducted from Sun Mansion for many years. ”

Sun Shaozu's face was pale, and he first hugged his fist at Lord Wang: "Thank you Brother Wang for your help, and I want to ask Brother Wang, where is Sun Rong now?" ”

Lord Wang smiled: "Hold it in the back, I think this is Brother Sun's housework, and Brother Sun is also inconvenienced when it makes trouble." I will hand them over to Brother Sun in a moment, and ask Brother Sun to bring back the three thousand pieces of silver and fine softness. ”

Sun Shaozu understood that Lord Wang was speaking politely, not because he was inconvenient, but because Lord Wang saved him some face, and it was inconvenient to say it directly. If this matter really makes a fuss, he will be embarrassed in Kyoto. Deceived by a minion, where is his face still there?!

Sun Shaozu got up and refused to accept the silver, but Lord Wang insisted on refusing to ask for it, Sun Shaozu had no choice but to hug his fists again, thank him in his mouth, accept the silver, take people, and escort Sun Rong and a few people back to Sun's mansion.

When they returned to Sun's mansion, several subordinates saw Sun Shaozu's face sinking like water and escorted Sun Rong back to the small study, and the subordinates were all careful. It seems that there is something strange about this.

Sun Shaozu sat on the chair and looked at Sun Rong and his wife who were tied to their knees. Sun Shaozu's eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "Sun Rong, let me ask you, how do I treat you if you have been with me for so many years?" ”

Sun Rong trembled, where did he dare to reply.

For the first time, Sun Shaozu felt like a fool, how much he trusted Sun Rong and his wife, letting them manage the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard was equivalent to handing over the entire Sun Mansion to their husband and wife. And they even reciprocated their trust. Sun Shaozu's eyes were about to burst into flames, he was deceived by his housekeeper to take away the money, and he went to the Shuntian Mansion, where did he have face? !
