009 Coral Jade Mountain(3)
Su Zhong ordered someone to mention that person, and then said to Su Mu: "Master, if you want to say that you also know this person, he is a distant relative of the fifth aunt who has not been in contact for a long time. ”
"Oh? There are such things. ”
As soon as the two finished speaking, they saw the little guy walk in with a white-faced scholar in his twenties.
As soon as the scholar entered the room, he fell to his knees with a pop, trembling all over.
"Who are you? For will be in my Su Province? "The eldest lady made a preemptive strike, since there is one person who can carry the bag, then why not push the boat with the water.
"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng, it's Xu Feng, a distant relative of the fifth aunt, I came to Sufu today in the hope that the fifth aunt can lend Xiaosheng some silver taels, so that I can have a good life." Xu Feng keeps calling himself a little student, but his current appearance is the face of a thief who has been caught, and there is nothing to speak of.
Su Zhong bowed slightly to Su Mu, and asked, "Since you have a legitimate reason to come to my Su Mansion, why is there no record of your entry to the mansion at the concierge?" Who opened the door for you? ”
Xu Feng's body was stunned for a while, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is the maid Huanyu next to the fourth lady who opened the door for Xiaosheng." ”
Huanyu's face turned red with anger when she heard this nonsense, and she just wanted to reason with this person, but was interrupted by Su Yi.
"Since you claim to be a distant relative of the fifth aunt, then I will call you cousin, I don't know, when and where did my maid open the door for you? Let's have a relative, you have to tell the truth, so that you can know if you have anything to do with this matter, if you have the slightest lie, I'm afraid, this Su Mansion is in, but you can't get out. Whether it is in his current or previous memories, Su Yi has no impression of this Xu Feng, it seems that there is such a distant relative, but he has not been in contact for many years, and now, he suddenly appeared again, and he can only say that there is something strange about this matter.
"Cousin, don't scare your cousin, my cousin is a scholar, timid, can't stand the fright, two days ago, I brought a letter to you, saying that this year's New Year family is poor, want to borrow some silver taels, better for a year, in order not to attract more people's attention, you said that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Mansion is relatively busy, no one will notice whether an outsider enters the mansion, so, you let your maid open the back door, Xiaosheng just came in." Xu Feng said matter-of-factly.
It's just that there are too many loopholes in his words, Su Yi has closed his doors since he fell into the water, and Su Mu and the eldest lady have also exempted her from asking for peace every day, just ask, how can such a weak woman write to a foreign man privately, if she really wants to help this person named Xu Feng, she can let Huanyu take the money and send it to the outside of the house, there is no need to come to the house to cause trouble.
Su Yi smiled meaningfully and asked, "Cousin of the Xu family, you said that the maid in my yard opened the back door for you, but the one standing behind me?" ”
Xu Feng slowly raised his head, tilted his head slightly to look at Huanyu behind Su Yi, and after some memories and thoughts, he shook his head, "It's not this sister, it's another sister who opened the door for me." ”
"And do you know her name?" Su Yi continued to ask.
"She said her name was Huanyu."
When everyone heard this, they probably knew that someone must have pretended to be Huanyu to lead this person named Xu Feng into Su Mansion, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to frame the blame for the fourth lady of Su Mansion.
"This is strange, since you don't know this maid next to me, but you know her name, it can only be said that someone has set a trap waiting for you to drill into it." Su Yi is also very tired from tossing now, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to simply wipe Lao Hei's ass, and it actually involved another thing.
"In my Su Mansion, this kind of thing happened, investigate thoroughly, we must investigate thoroughly." Su Mu said angrily.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Mansion was not peaceful, after the family banquet, they should have gone back to each courtyard, but everyone was left in the hall, Su Mu even let his three brothers come over, and after everyone heard about this matter, they also felt that there was a house thief was an extremely terrifying thing, if this matter was not investigated, no one would know how Su Mansion was raided in the future.
"Big brother, since this Xu Gongzi said that there were letters before, why don't you take the letters over and compare the handwriting, so that this impostor will also surface." Su Qiang, the second master of the Su family, proposed.
Su Mu nodded, and asked the people to compare the letters they found from Xu Feng, but the result surprised him and the eldest lady.
"Master, this handwriting looks like the third lady's, but only six or seven points are similar, presumably the person who wrote the letter deliberately imitated it, but the writing level is really limited, so I only learned six or seven points." After Su Zhongyu finished reporting, he handed the letter to Su Mu. After Su Mu took it, he didn't open it, but handed it over directly to the eldest lady.
"Li'er, can a girl know how to read?" Su Mu asked with a cold face, today's good Chinese New Year's Eve, because of such an incident, the whole family is uneasy, find this person, must be severely punished.
"Yes, but there is only one person who can write words so similar to Miss Three, and that is Su Rong who serves by Miss Three." Su Zhong replied.
Su Mu waved his hand and asked Su Rong to come up, when she brought people, she was waiting beside the third lady, although Su Li obstructed without knowing what she was doing, but this was her father's intention, she finally watched Su Rong being taken away, and when she was waiting in the back hall, she was simply anxious.
"Su Rong, do you know this son?" Su Zhong asked.
Su Rong came into the house and saw that the house was full of masters, and Xu Feng, who she secretly put in today, knelt there humbly, like a puddle of mud under her feet, soft as boneless.
"The slave maid recognized that he was a distant relative of the fifth aunt, and when he came to the house before, he met him twice by chance." Su Rong said that it was very unrelated to himself, and even on Chinese New Year's Eve, why such a foreigner was here, did not show half surprise and doubt.
"Today, have you ever seen Xu Gongzi?" Su Zhong asked.
"No, I didn't."
Xu Feng, who was kneeling on the side, was already scared when he heard this, and at this moment he felt that he had fallen into a cliff, he raised his head, looked at Su Rong, pointed at her nose and scolded: "You cheap, why are you still telling lies?" If you hadn't opened the back door for me today, how would Xiaosheng have come into the house? You said, the house is very busy today, let Xiaosheng go to Miss Fourth alone to borrow the silver taels, you brought Xiaosheng outside the courtyard of Miss Four, why don't you admit it? ”
"This son, I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person, the slave is from the third lady's yard, how can she help the fourth lady attract guests? Even if the fourth miss needs someone to attract customers, that is what the big girl Huanyu next to the fourth miss should do. Su Rong responded very calmly, she had already thought about dozens of possible situations in this matter, so she was able to deal with these current inquiries very comfortably.
"You still don't admit it?" Although Xu Feng already knew that he had been tricked at this moment, he just passively accepted such a charge, even if the fish died and the net was broken, he had to return his innocence, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Su Zhong, "Steward Su, this cheap maid, when she turned around and left today, she accidentally pulled down this handkerchief, Xiao Sheng wanted to catch up with her and return her, but as soon as she turned around, she disappeared, Xiao Sheng thought, anyway, she will definitely meet at the fourth lady, so I kept it, I want to see the fourth lady and then return it to this slave, and now, it is just right to be used as evidence. ”
"There are a lot of things today, the slave and maid are very busy, and this handkerchief was also lost early in the morning, but it was picked up by Xu Gongzi."
