Chapter 144: The Secret of Chief Ning Da
This was originally a family ugly, but since it was so big and the county order was here, Sun Yuanwai couldn't save the face of the county order, so he could only respond: "Then it's annoying Lord Chen." ”
Lord Chen took the upper seat, condescending, with cold eyebrows, looking at the low Hua Lanxiang and Aunt Niu, and said coldly: "This longevity bag, except for the two of you, is there really no one else to handle it?" ”
Hua Lanxiang took the lead in shaking her head and replied: "I made this longevity bag by myself, I have been busy for most of the day, without anyone's hands, I made it one by one, and after steaming, I handed it over to Aunt Niu to put it in a pot and serve it." ”
The aunt Niu was also wronged, and she was dumb and ate coptis: "I, I took the shou bao from her, I was so hungry that I panicked, and I stole one before serving it, how could I be poisoned!" It's all my food! ”
"Aunt Niu, are you sure it's all your dishes, I remember that you also went to the small kitchen in the middle, did you finish serving the dishes at that time?" Hua Manxi interjected, "Did you go get the poison at that time!" ”
Aunt Niu's expression changed suddenly, and finally she said, "I didn't!" Where do I have any poison! ”
"Then what are you doing in the kitchenette?" Lord Chen's face sank, "If you don't tell the truth, you will be dealt with according to the contempt court, and you will be on the twenty boards first!" ”
After twenty boards, does she still have a life? Aunt Niu's expression suddenly turned pale, and then she said in a weak voice: "I asked my second Niu to give me a trip, I stole two crabs and went to the small kitchen to hide them, if you don't believe it, you can go to the small kitchen to search and see, and hide them in the water tank." ”
"Dead mother-in-law! You-" Niu Er categorically didn't expect that this Aunt Niu would confess herself, and her face suddenly became angry, and she was about to step forward and beat Aunt Niu, "I haven't helped you serve food!" Don't talk nonsense! ”
At this time, the doctor suddenly hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down in front of Lord Chen, shook his head and said, "Lord Chen, the middle is arsenic and frost, it's hopeless, it's dead!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun both shook their bodies, and the whole person fell softly on the chair.
He's dead? Wang Shishi is actually dead? Then how did they explain to Wang's house?
"The person who poisoned must be Niu Er, search his body and house to see if there is arsenic or frost!" Sun Yuanwai was the first to react and said to Lord Chen.
Lord Chen waved his hand and asked the official messenger to step forward, and several officials detained Niu Er, who categorically didn't expect Wang Shishi to die, and immediately shouted injustice: "Wronged, my lord, wronged, Mr. Ning clearly let me take laxatives!" How did it become arsenic, frost! I didn't have arsenic or frost! I'm just trying to teach this damn girl a lesson! ”
Niu Er pointed to Huamanxi and pleaded loudly.
"Chief Ning Da?" Sun Yuanwai was stunned, why did this get to the head of Ning Da again?
"Yes, yes, it's the medicine that Mr. Ning asked me to do, and he said that something would happen to this birthday banquet, so that this dead girl could not redeem her mother's contract!" Niu Er defended himself again and again, "Although my Niu Er has a small belly and chicken intestines, but he doesn't dare to do things that hurt the heavens and reason, he said that it is a laxative, definitely not arsenic or frost!" If it's arsenic and frost, I don't dare to give me ten guts! ”
"Manager Ning!" Sun Yuanwai yelled, "Chief Ning is in charge!" ”
The people below hurriedly went to look for it, but found that Manager Ning's house was already empty, so they hurriedly came to report: "Oh no, master, Manager Ning has run away!" ”
"Ran away?" The Niu Er was completely paralyzed on the ground, and cried, "He deducted the monthly money of our workers, and put it on for two or three years, and took it to put the money in print, saying that it was doubled for us!" He ran away, what will happen to our hard-earned money? ”
"Printing money? Two or three years? Sun Yuanwai was completely mad, and almost didn't go limp, "You are all pig's heads, he asked you to let it go, you just let it go!" ”
"Master, we don't want to, but the monthly money is in his hand, and he issued it, so we have to follow it! If he doesn't let go, he'll have to find an excuse to deduct it, and there's nothing we can do—" Aunt Niu also howled.
When the subordinates below saw Niu Er taking the lead in talking about this, they all knelt down and begged Sun Yuanwai to get their hard-earned money back!
Sun Yuan only knew that his chief manager had reached the point of covering the sky with one hand, and he was so angry that he was trembling.
"Then why did this Manager Ning poison Miss Wang on Shoubao?" Master Chen listened to the secrets of the freshman year, but he still didn't forget his original intention, and suddenly asked.
"That's because-" Hua Lanxiang, who had been kneeling low, suddenly spoke up and cried, "That's because he wants me to fill the house for him, I heard that my daughter climbed up to Wang's Mansion and wanted to redeem my contract, he persecuted me several times, but I didn't comply, so he wanted to frame me, let the master and Wangfu form a bond, so that I could redeem the contract-"
Hua Lanxiang, an unmarried and pregnant woman, was already so ashamed that she had no face to see people when she said such things, and she kept crying, crying constantly -
"A little manager, he dares to rob people from my Wangfu, I really think that my Wangfu is a vegetarian!" A delicate but confident voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone to gasp in horror.
That's right, the person who came was Wang Shishi, who was already dead!
"Miss Wang, you, aren't you, aren't you dead?" The old lady and Sun Yuan were dumbfounded, and the guests below were even more frightened.
"Just such a little manager, who wants to kill me, when the dozen or so guards my father gave me are vegetarians?" Wang Shishi smiled slightly, stepped forward, and the two guards behind her followed closely, and the person escorted was Manager Ning, who had escaped from the five flower ties.
"Ning Da, you eat things inside and out! It's in vain that the old man trusts you so much! You did such a thing! Sun Yuan was furious, and stepped forward and kicked the heart of Chief Naning.
Chief Naning didn't squeak, only stared at Hua Manxi.
Hua Manxi felt his hatred, stepped forward, and said to Mr. Ning: "What, Mr. Ning, I am very unconvinced when I lose it in the hands of my little girl?" You don't know how to lose? ”
As soon as she said this, everyone was even more stunned, but Hua Manxi looked at Manager Ning calmly, and said unhurriedly: "You bullied my mother, I naturally want to get it back from you." You may not know that more than half a month ago, I overheard your conversation with Niu Er in the backyard, and at that time I suspected that you were not clean. ”
Manager Ning sneered, looked at Hua Manxi with disdain, Hua Manxi was not annoyed, and continued to say slowly: "I took over the old lady's birthday banquet, Niu Er was not convinced, you heard that I was going to redeem my mother's contract after the birthday banquet, and you also jumped off the wall in a hurry, but I watched it strictly in the kitchen, and you had no chance to do it at all, so you threatened Niu Er with the monthly money taken away by Niu Er's family, and asked him to find a way to poison Miss Wang's food and destroy the relationship between Sun Mansion and Wang Mansion." ”
"It's a pity that you don't know, I paid attention to your every move, I would have already replaced the longevity bag you let Niu Er poison, Miss Wang was not poisoned at all, the reason why the doctor misled everyone was because he was afraid that Niu Er and his wife would be greedy for money and refused to confess to you, but if it involves life, what is money? harmed people's lives, Niu Er naturally couldn't afford it, so he confessed you. ”
"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Master Chen couldn't help but applaud, "You are a little cook, you are so thoughtful, you are the most important, and you dug him out without the slightest effort, which is really admirable to this official!" Master Chen clapped his hands and praised.
"My lord's reputation, if it weren't for Miss Wang's invitation to come over and sit in town, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control it, thank you for today's events." Hua Manxi said politely.
"Ning Da, intending to kill his life, deducting workers' wages, despising the government system, and privately releasing money from the seal are all big crimes, come and take him down!" Master Chen ordered.
After the chief manager of Naning was escorted down, Wang Shishi gave another 1,000 taels of silver and ransomed Hua Lanxiang's contract from Sun's mansion.
Leaving the noisy Sun Mansion, Hua Lanxiang still couldn't believe that she had escaped from the clutches of Manager Ning, and she was surprised and unbelievable for a while.
Wang Shishi arranged a separate yard for Hua Manxi, and such a courtesy made Hua Lanxiang even more flattered.
"Manxi, how long did you promise Miss Wang to be a cook, and she was so good to you? You won't be selling yourself to Wang's house, will you? "Both the orchid and the little leaf have a sense of unreality coming from hell to heaven.
"How can I talk to Miss Wang about some business, and after this business is negotiated, we will go back to Peach Blossom Village, and we won't live here for too long." Hua Manxi said.
"Talking about business? You're a girl, what business do you know? Hua Lanxiang is still not at ease, "Besides, Wang Mansion is not an ordinary family, this Miss Wang can invite the county magistrate to move, do you think, Wang Mansion is not as good as Sun Mansion." ”
"Come on, mother, I do things in a measured way, I also have money, from now on you don't need to be a subordinate to help cook, just enjoy the blessings, my dowry I myself have ready, if you want to remarry, I will let my aunt arrange a family affair for you, what do you think?" Hua Manxi smiled and said mischievously.
"Good little girl! How dare you joke that your mother is here! It's incredible! Hua Lanxiang was so embarrassed by her words that her face was flushed, and she stepped forward to screw her ears to teach her a lesson.
"Little Yezi, save me, save me!" Hua Manxi hurriedly pounced, hid behind Xiao Yezi, and shouted loudly.
"Auntie, aunt-" Xiao Yezi was not easy to offend at both ends, so he could only act as a peacemaker in the middle, and persuaded him to make peace, "I think it makes sense, Manxi is reasonable, you are still so young and beautiful, it is not a problem to remarry, and we are not allowed to remarry in Nanyang, right-"
"Okay, you guys, the two little girls actually taught me a lesson-" Hua Lanxiang was angry and ashamed, and the three of them made a mess, and they couldn't be happy.
That night, Hua Manxi had a rare restful sleep, but when he woke up, he found a familiar pigeon parked on the windowsill.
This, isn't this a dove of light clouds?
