Chapter 413: Be a housekeeper
Zhang Gui slumped on the ground and didn't speak, and Li Yun said sharply: "Just now it was just to scare and scare you, if you are still stubborn, then it will be the pain of flesh and skin!" There are hundreds of punishments in prison, can you be confident that you can bear them? ”
Now, I'm afraid it won't work if I want to deny it, Zhang Gui is not really that hard-headed, and he said weakly after a while: "The thing was put into the dish by the villain." ”
finally admitted it, Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Who instructed you?" And how did you do it, from the real recruitment! ”
It turned out that this Zhang Gui was just a gambler doing small business, the important thing is that he was not from Changling at all, but Sui Yuanren, a neighbor of Changling, and someone took the initiative to find him and said that he could lend him money, but he first borrowed a few hundred taels, and then lost, mortgaged the shop, and still lost all the money to repay the debt.
As a result, the man told him to come to Changling to do something, he could write it off, and he could give him an additional five hundred taels, and he really had no other way, so he followed, knowing that he was going to do this kind of thing, he was still a little hesitant, but the man said that the business of Manxiangju was too good, and he just wanted to teach him a lesson, and there would be no big deal.
He also went to the pharmacy to ask, and the doctor said that although these two things can't be eaten together, they won't be particularly serious if they eat them, and he thinks that there are so many people in the restaurant, as long as he doesn't admit it, do it carefully, others won't know, and he should come down.
His apprenticeship gave him a good cover, the chef cooked, and he prepared other things on the side, including a large bowl with hairy blood, he had to lay the lettuce in the bowl in advance, and it was at this time that he had the opportunity to put He Shou Wu powder under the lettuce, and the chef would never be able to see it out of the pot!
"That's all? Do you have any accomplices in the restaurant? ”
Zhang Gui hurriedly shook his head: "No!" The villain really doesn't know anything else! The man is very generous and looks very ordinary, if he wants to do this kind of thing, he must be afraid that something will go wrong and find out about him, so he has never said anything about his identity, and the villain will not agree if he is not desperate. ”
"Do you think the official will believe it?" Li Yun shouted: "Come on, hit the twenty boards!" ”
Hu Man looked at the depression and pressed him on the bench, although he shouted that he was wronged, Hu Man still didn't open his mouth to plead, he did this kind of thing, and it was natural to be punished, after all, more than seventy people were guilty because of him, and maybe he really didn't tell the truth and didn't know.
The screams echoed in the lobby, and when the twenty boards were finished, blood had already been printed on his pants, Hu Man didn't look over, he suppressed and removed the bench, he lay on the ground, Li Yun leaned forward: "Don't say it yet?" ”
Zhang Gui's face was pale and he gasped: "Adult, small, I really don't know, but the little one knows what he looks like!" I beg you to stop fighting! ”
Seeing that he didn't look like a lie, Li Yun looked at Wu Zhan on the side, Wu Zhan nodded, and Li Yun said: "It's late today, take him back to prison, and try him again tomorrow!" ”
After taking him down, Li Yun asked, "What do you think?" ”
Wu Zhan's fingers moved a few times: "This person's hand is strong, what does Master Li think?" ”
"General." Li Yun shrugged: "This ghost is indeed scary, but if it is really a well-trained person, he will not blurt out this kind of thing impulsively, and he is still a soft bone." ”
"That's it, if Master Li instructs him to do something bad, will he rest assured to tell him all about his plans and identity?"
Li Yun understood: "What the lord said is that the lower officials didn't expect this layer, indeed... The man seemed to want one to execute, and he didn't care what would happen to this person in the end, but he didn't bother less, and went to Sui Yuan to find someone. ”
"Probably just to make it difficult for people to check his background!" Wu Zhan crossed his hands: "It seems that it is difficult to make any other progress, let him describe the person he saw tomorrow, and he can only try to see if he can find it." ”
Li Yun said that he understood, it was really late, Hu Man came out of the yamen, and happened to see Liu Zheng, who had already cleaned up, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much today, of course, you helped us as a victim, and I don't want to go, so do you have any requirements?" I'll see if I can help? ”
Liu Zheng paused: "Really?" ”
"Absolutely."
He thought for a while: "I, half-baked at the level of study, after my father and mother died, the business was closed due to poor management, and now I don't know what to do......"
It turns out that I didn't make a living... Hu Man looked at it, a very kind young man, and touched the martial arts: "Is there still a shortage of people in our house?" ”
"Except for the housekeeper who didn't find a suitable one, it's basically all together!"
Hu Man turned his head to look at him: "That's the case, I just have a restaurant, and there is a lack of a housekeeper in the house, which one do you want to be?" Restaurant...... Only recruit cooks and guys, guys are too tired, and cooks need skills, I'm afraid it's not easy to do. ”
"Is it okay to be a housekeeper? May I? Liu Zheng hurriedly asked.
"I'm nothing, do you think you can?"
Liu Zheng nodded fiercely: "No problem!" Although I don't have a housekeeper at home, I know what a housekeeper should do, and I will get started as soon as possible! "It's not bad for a down-and-out person to be a housekeeper in a second-class official's house, and generally such an errand requires connections!
Hu Man made his own decisions: "Okay! Then go when you are well recuperated! ”
"I'm fine, I'll go tomorrow!" Liu Zheng scratched his head again: "That, I, I want to ask about the salary...... he himself is really short of money, he hasn't been to Manxiangju for a long time since the shop closed down, but he is very hungry for the food there, and one of his former playmates invited him to go that day, and he ran into this incident.
"What do you think of ten taels a month?" Hu Man still knows a little about the market now, like such a big house, there are a lot of trivial things, and the housekeeper's salary is five or six taels, unlike the work in the restaurant, two or three taels are enough, not to mention that Liu Zheng helped her, and her price is higher.
Liu Zheng had no scruples now: "Thank you, Lord and Mrs. Wu!" I'll go tomorrow! ”
After saying goodbye to him, the two got into the carriage, Hu Man was already sleepy, leaning on Wu Zhan's shoulder and falling asleep, Wu Zhan turned his head to look, gently put her down, pillowed on his lap, and patted her hand naturally on her back.
Too tired, she is tired, and he is also tired, he feels that he should speed up his pace, let the end of the change, the beginning of the beginning, Yuan Jian...... If he really did so much secretly, he didn't believe that there would be no clue for him to find out!
When he arrived at the door of the house, Wu Zhan didn't call Hu Man, and hugged her directly, but Hu Man was very shallow and woke up by himself, and his voice was still a little coquettish that he didn't usually have: "Hmm... Is it there? ”
Wu Zhan didn't put her down: "Hmm." Carrying her back to the attic, in the house, Huan'er fell asleep on the table, guarding Wu Yue in the crib.
Hu Man came down and rubbed his eyes, and patted it gently: "Huan'er? Ring! ”
Huan'er woke up and hurriedly stood up: "My lord, madam, you are back!" ”
"Well, it's hard work, go back and rest!"
"Wait a minute." Wu Zhan called out to her: "Stay a little longer!" I spent half a day in prison, and I went downstairs to take a shower before going to sleep. ”
Hu Man shrugged his shoulders, and Huan'er smiled: "Okay, I'll guard Miss." ”
The two went to the bath downstairs, and Hu Man went down to sit on the steps in the water and exhaled: "I can finally prove my innocence, but the business of the restaurant will definitely be affected." ”
Wu Zhan registered his clothes and walked down step by step: "Don't worry, it's only temporary, after all, it's not the restaurant that deliberately wants to hurt people, I believe most people still understand." ”
"But we also have negligence, the people behind the scenes can't be found, and it is impossible to rely on Zhang Gui, this money can only be out of us." Hu Man calculated: "Seventy people, how can one person get ten taels, that is, seven hundred taels." ”
"If you lose, you will pay!" Wu Zhan came over and hugged her waist: "Don't think about this, you've been tired enough lately, why don't you relax?" ”
Hu Man felt his big hand slide down in the water, and grabbed it: "Are you sure this is called relaxation?" ”
Wu Zhan lowered his head and took a bite on her neck: "I'm sure it will make you sleep more soundly!" ”
There are still a lot of crooked reasoning, but it's been too tense lately, and it's true that the two haven't had the heart to make love for a long time, and he has already stood up majestically, presumably ...... She couldn't escape, so Hu Man simply let him serve.
Wu Zhan's figure for so long still made Hu Man unable to take his eyes off, and her weak and boneless hands couldn't help but touch his hard abdominal muscles.
By the time the two of them finished tossing, it was really late at night, Hu Man was wearing a middle coat, his legs were a little weak and went upstairs, a step back from Wu Zhan, seeing Huan'er's smile with deep meaning, Hu Man turned around and glanced at Wu Zhan.
Wu Zhan coughed lightly: "Okay, you go back!" ”
Hu Man went over to take a look at Xiao Wuyue, the little girl was sleeping soundly with her mouth pouted! Wu Zhan covered her with a small quilt: "Sleep!" I'll be busy tomorrow. ”
"Will you enter the palace tomorrow?" Hu Man got into the quilt and yawned and asked.
"No, no." Wu Zhan turned off the lights and hugged her: "Although the matter of life history has been clarified, no one is entangled for the time being, but the previous ban is still there." ”
"That's fine, I can rest."
"I can't rest." Wu Zhan said: "If you really wait in peace, I don't know how much this kind of will come." ”
Hu Man turned to face him: "You're going to start checking?" ”
"Well, as we said before!" Wu Zhan took a deep breath: "If it is really related to them, then the new and old accounts will be counted together!" ”
"Don't forget to pull the third prince." Hu Man nestled into his arms again: "Anyway, there is a common enemy, such a good help, don't use it in vain!" ”
Wu Zhan smiled: "He also looked for me." Wu Zhan sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect the hostility from the beginning to the end...... I think it's better for him to be the emperor. ”
Hu Man replied in a daze: "Yes, this means that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" ”
Wu Zhan thought about it, it seemed to make sense, and when he looked down, she was already asleep, so she smiled and fell asleep.
