Listening to the meaning of the words of the third girl of the Gu family, he wanted him to deal with it impartially, but what kind of impartial handling method was to be used, Master Chen still wanted to ask clearly.

Master Chen was still sitting on the chair, looked at Gu Yutang, and said, "The third girl wants to let the old man deal with it impartially, so how to deal with it impartially, the old girl also asks the third girl to say it clearly!" Do you want Lao Yu to send the red aunt and the pink girl to the yamen together? ”

Gu Yutang instructed Da Han to stay outside, listening to a few swallow chirpings under the eaves outside, and golden light shone in through the cracks in the window lattice, hitting Gu Yutang's bun, making Gu Yutang's face covered with a faint halo.

Gu Yutang's eyes became brighter and more moving, and he quietly looked at the black-eyed Master Chen in front of him, and said: "Master, Taohong is the maid who serves Aunt Hong, and the maid who serves her closely commits the crime of theft, how can the master not know?"

Besides, as far as I know, Taohong's deed of sale is still in the hands of Aunt Hong. This peach has committed a crime, and if she enters the county office, she will naturally go to the county office. ”

What Gu Yutang said is indeed true, there is indeed such a rule in the Daming Law. Peach Hong is Aunt Hong's maid who serves her closely, so her maid committed a crime, and the master didn't know it, and she had to be punished together.

What's more, this matter is inseparable from Aunt Hong, if she enters the county office, the county magistrate will investigate it, and the twists and turns will be clear at a glance.

And today's Pengpuzhi County is a person who has not touched a case for a long time, and when he encounters such a theft case, and there are so many people involved in the middle, I am afraid that he will pay attention to the trial.

But Aunt Hong has already made money to him, and asked him to send the girl to the county office, and now if she takes the girl to the county office, I am afraid that the matter of coming out to take the job without permission will be found out.

When the time comes, the magistrate will blame him, his iron rice bowl for so many years, but if he doesn't, it's gone!

Master Chen thought about it secretly in his heart, but he still thought that it was important to keep his iron rice bowl, as for whether the truth of this matter could be revealed in the end, then he would not do his business, as for whether Aunt Hong would finally sit in the county government prison, and he would not do his business.

Brushing his extremely long beard, Master Chen's black eyes rolled a few times, looked at Gu Yutang in front of him, and replied lightly.

"Third girl, what you said is indeed true. But whether you want to send the peach maid to the county government, this is still your family's business, and it has nothing to do with old decay.

Lao Yu is just a criminal master invited by Aunt Hong of your mansion to investigate the case, as for how to punish this real murderer in the end, it is not within the scope of Lao Yu's ability. ”

Gu Yutang listened to what Master Chen said so much, and was shocked that Master Chen wanted to withdraw from this case?

However, since he accepted Aunt Hong's silver and got on Aunt Hong's thief ship, he and Aunt Hong were grasshoppers on the same rope, so it was not so easy to get out.

But since he wants to get out, it's better to hand over Aunt Hong to him to deal with, with Aunt Hong's temperament, he won't let him go so easily.

Gu Yutang made up his mind in his heart, smiled faintly, and said: "Master is really joking, since Mrs. invited Master here, she values Master's ability to investigate the case, but how to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes in the end, we still need Master to help us think of ideas." ”

Hearing Gu Yutang say this, Master Chen immediately said: "According to the third girl's intelligence and ability, how can this kind of thing be the turn of old decay?" The three girls' rhetoric in the front hall before, but even the old decay can't say anything about you.

Don't be modest with the three girls, didn't the three girls say that there were many omissions in this case? Then the old man invited the third girl to find out what were the omissions in your words?"

Master Chen has something to say, and he wants her to investigate this case and completely pick herself out. It was he who said that there were many omissions in this case, since Gu Yutang said that there were many omissions, let Gu Yutang personally investigate and see what those omissions were?

After Master Chen left, Gu Yutang hurriedly had breakfast, and then instructed Da Han and Dong Solstice to bring Mr. Lecture from Gu's private school.

In the past two days, the government was busy preparing things for Chinese New Year's Eve, and the private school also had a holiday, and Feng Lao'an gave Mr. Lector half a month's vacation to let him go home for the New Year and reunite with his family.

When Mr. Lecture was about to board the carriage, Gu Yutang ordered the winter solstice and the great cold, so he invited him over, planning to ask him a few things, some things about Taohong's younger siblings.

Two bamboo chairs have been placed in the small flower hall in the east wing, and after Da Han and the winter solstice invited Mr. Lecture in, Gu Yutang let Mr. Lecture sit on the bamboo chair, and Gu Yutang personally asked him a few words.

Mr. Lecture's surname is Bai, and his single name is a Shao character. It is Lu Liangwei's person, because of the middle of the family, for the sake of the family's livelihood, he had to come to the second room of the Gu family to be a lecturer for many years.

Because the second room of the Gu family is the first family of Pengpu, in order to make the maids and maids who serve in the house literate, this private school was opened when the second old lady was alive. If the children in the house reach the right age, they can be sent to this private school to study and learn calligraphy.

Mr. Bai was wearing a light gray gown, his face was a little thin, and his cheekbones were a little high, which made him look a little old-fashioned and mean.

However, because Gu Yutang was in the house, he didn't dare to speak to Gu Yutang in the same tone as if he was training a student in a private school, and asked a few words peacefully.

"I don't know if the third girl specially called the maid to invite the villain to come, did she want to ask something?"

Gu Yutang saw that Mr. Bai was a little restrained, and instructed the maid to put the freshly brewed tea cup on the high table beside him, and said lightly: "I invited Mr. over, I have a few things I want to ask Mr. ”

"What the third girl wants to know, the villain must know everything, and say everything." Mr. Bai said with a solemn look, as if Gu Yutang was going to ask him something big, which startled Gu Yutang.

But this is also good, she can also hear a few words of truth from Mr. Bai's mouth.

Gu Yutang thought like this and said.

"Mr. Bai, I just want to ask you about Taohong's younger siblings. I wonder if someone has already leaked the news to you, saying that if I call someone to ask you, I want you to say that you don't know anything, so that you can keep your job in the Gu family?"

Listening to Gu Yutang's words, as Gu Yutang guessed, there was indeed a maid who was waiting by Aunt Hong's side who came to say these words to him.

Tell him that if someone comes to ask about the whereabouts of Taohong's younger siblings, they will all say that they don't know, they don't know, so that they won't be involved in those fights in the house.

He, a teacher in the house, was involved in those fights, didn't he want to ruin his job?

But since the third girl of the Gu family in front of him asked, he couldn't help but avoid answering, and still replied: "Third girl, it is indeed as you said, there are indeed people and villains who are angry. Tell the villain that if someone in the house comes to ask about the younger brothers and sisters of the peach girl who are studying in the private school, the villain will say that he doesn't know. ”

"In that case, why did Mr. Bai still tell me? Could it be that Mr. Bai is not afraid of losing this job?" Hearing what Mr. Bai said, Gu Yutang asked like this.

"I'm afraid, of course the villain is afraid. The villain has a family of five, an eighty-year-old mother, three children, and a wife who can't work.

However, since the villain has said so much to the three girls, he believes that the three girls will not spread these things and cause the villain to lose his job. Mr. Bai said this, his eyes kept rolling on Gu Yutang.

Listening to what Mr. Bai said so much, Gu Yutang felt that Mr. Bai in front of him was really a smart person.

But since he's a smart guy, he'll always answer whatever he asks, right?

"Since Mr. Bai is an interesting and intelligent person, can you tell me about Taohong's younger siblings?"

The cold wind outside was whistling, beating the dead branches outside the window. The cold wind passed through the middle hall, and there was a wail like a ghost crying wolf.

Listening to the wind outside, Mr. Bai replied slowly: "The younger brother and sister of the peach girl are indeed the students of the villain. The peach girl's family of seven or eight people all rely on the peach girl's monthly silver to live, if their family has no peach girl, I am afraid that the family has already been ruined.

Pink Girl is a good person, and the villain believes that the stolen objects in the house were never stolen by Pink Girl, and someone must have framed Pink Girl. The villain knows that the third girl has been investigating these things recently, and hopes that the third girl can return the peach girl's innocence! ”

As Mr. Bai spoke, he knelt down and begged Gu Yutang to agree.

Before he could kneel, Gu Yutang glanced at Da Han and Dong Solstice who were standing behind him, and Da Han and Dong Solstice hurriedly helped him up.

"Even Mr. Bai knows that Peach has been received from generations, how could Aunt Hong not know? I'm afraid I want Peach to bear this charge on her, right?"

Gu Yutang thought so in his heart, turned his head and glanced at Mr. Bai beside him, seeing that he was also full of sorrow, obviously he also knew that the peach was received by others.

But as long as she knows where Taohong's younger brothers and sisters are, she can let Taohong tell the truth of the facts, so that Aunt Hong's family can no longer be proud.

"Mr. Bai, Taohong's younger brothers and sisters, where are they now?" Looking at Mr. Bai, who bowed his head and was silent, Gu Yutang asked again.

"The third girl, the younger brother and sister of the peach girl, should be in the dungeon of Ruiyue Courtyard, and the one who came to pick them up that day was the water green girl who was waiting by Aunt Hong's side. The green girl was instructed by Aunt Hong that day to pick up the two of them. ”
