Chapter 227: Shocking
Guo Xian wailed: "Madam, the master is gone!" β
Mrs. Su's feet, who were moving forward, stopped in mid-air, as if she was frozen, the angry face on her face disappeared in an instant, and her face was dazed, as if she had heard something and seemed to have heard nothing, as if she was in a dream. Her face was pale and confused, and she leaned over slightly and looked at Guo Xian, who was still kneeling and wailing.
"What did you say?" Her voice was weak and weak, like a bamboo leaf in the autumn wind, crumbling.
Guo Xian took away the sleeve that wiped his tears, slowed down for a while, and then sobbed and said: "Madam, a few of us went to Yiyang to find the master on the order of the housekeeper, and along the way, we divided into several roads, but none of them met the master." It was easy to get to Yiyang, and everyone couldn't find any trace of the master. Everyone felt that something was wrong, and there was no way, so they went to the official office to report the case" Speaking of this, Guo Xian cried again, and couldn't help but be heartbroken.
"What are you crying about! What the hell is going on, say it quickly! Mrs. Su's voice suddenly raised and reprimanded, and then her voice trembled and asked in a low voice.
Guo Xian was already in tears, and he couldn't breathe any longer, "We, we went to the official office, and the people in the official office said, saying, the master colluded with the thieves, and it has beenββ" Guo Xian sobbed, and the next words could not be spoken.
Collusion with bandits? How so? How could it be! Mrs. Su clenched her fists, her teeth chattered up and down, and her voice came out from between her teeth: "What is it-"
"Yes, I was beheaded and executed by the prefect!" Guo Xian seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and fell to the ground and cried bitterly. This time, it's finally finished, and I don't have to worry about how to open my mouth anymore, this way, until now, finally, I can finally cry happily, and cry out all the sadness and pain in my heart-
With this last sound, Mrs. Su's voice was as if someone had exhausted her last bit of strength, and she collapsed to the ground, and the handkerchief in her hand flew down and was swept away by the wind
And Su Yingxue, after hearing the sentence for the first time that she will never forget for the rest of her life, was like a fist hitting her heart, all at once! With every stroke, bright red blood will splatter from the heart! Her mind went blank, her eyes went blank! All the words were like a thunderbolt from the sky into the heavenly spirit cover, every word, every word she didn't want to hear in her life, straight into the top of her head! Break into her blood! Punch her bone marrow!
Why!
She shuddered.
Why!
She clenched her teeth!
Nails pierced the flesh of the palms of their hands, dripping blood falling into the dirt. This sting, this sting is so real, how real
Su Yingxue breathed heavily, tears rolled down, she raised her head, the sky was clear, and there was a white cloud floating, clouds, clouds were dizzy, the sky was spinning, Su Yingxue's eyes were dark, and she fainted to the ground.
The Su family was suddenly in a hurry, and at this moment, no one could take care of the guests who had not yet left. After a period of scramble, the mother and daughter of the Su family were carried to the back house to ask the doctor for treatment, and in this small corner, except for Guo Xian's low weak crying, it was so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of your own breathing.
Guests, look at me, I'll look at you, this news is really shocking, don't say it's the mother and daughter of the Su family, even those of them who are familiar with Su Wei are unbelievable.
Su Wei, who is respected as the capital of Yangzhou, and Su Wei, who is respected as the number one benevolent person in Yangzhou, was convicted and beheaded, and the conviction was - collusion with bandits!
Are you kidding!
There must be some misunderstanding in this! Why didn't Master Su make a clear argument for himself?
This is suspicious of people who are familiar with Su Wei.
The Su family colluded with the bandits, and Su Wei was beheaded and questioned, so wouldn't the Su family die? Collusion with bandits, that's a big crime! However, why was the Su family not questioned? Look at Guo Xian again, his clothes are in tatters, dirt dots are all over the cuffs of his trousers, his face is covered with dust, and his face is like a painting on the soil. Don't even ask! It must be that the news of the official family has not yet reached Yangzhou. The distance from Yiyang to Yangzhou is far away, this kid named Guo Xian must have rushed back with both carriages and horses!
Ah! slapped his thigh, the Su family was definitely going to be raided by the government, what kind of business are they doing, they have to get their fixed money back! It doesn't matter if it pays ten times the compensation or not, as long as you let yourself get back to your capital first, it is important to be able to clear the relationship with the Su family and save your life!
A few people thought of this, so they hurriedly stepped forward and sat down with Steward Liu, who still hadn't reacted. It's just that it doesn't matter if this pull is made, the butler who was originally like a pottery sculpture, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and someone who knew each other hurriedly stepped forward to pull those people apart and reprimanded loudly: "What are you doing!" Then he leaned over to check on the housekeeper. But seeing the butler's pale and dazed face, he came back to his senses a little at this time, but his eyes were dull, "The master is gone?" β
The person who was supporting the housekeeper on the side couldn't help but cry, but as a middle-aged man with life experience, he held back the tears in the corners of his eyes and replied in a choked voice: "Yes, the housekeeper, you have to mourn, and the affairs of the Su family have to depend on you." β
The butler turned his head to look at him and asked again, "Is the master gone?" β
Tears began to roll in the man's eyes, and he sniffed: "Yes, the person is gone, you have to mourn!" β
"How so? How could it be gone? Why? The lord is such a good person, why is this? The butler continued to ask, but did not wait for anyone's answer, more like talking to himself.
Someone on the side said impatiently: "Steward Liu, in this Su Mansion, except for the two Su family members, you are the only one who can call the shots." We don't care if the Su family is okay now," he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, "This is the proof of the fixed money I paid at the beginning, our cooperation has ended today, and I don't want you to compensate or not, just return all the fixed money to me!" β
"What are you doing!" When someone heard this, his heart was on fire, and he shouted at the man.
"What for?" The man sneered: "Su Wei has been convicted of such a big crime, why, do you still expect the Su family to be the same as before?" Hmph, the Su family will soon be raided and destroyed, those who know the current affairs, hurry up and learn from me, and clear up the relationship with the Su family, don't get involved in any messy relationship when the time comes, and you lose your life or have some prison sentence or something, don't blame Lao Han for not reminding you! As he spoke, the corner of his eye swept over everyone present like mockery and ridicule.
Sure enough, after he said this, the faces of everyone present changed and changed.
He is right, this kind of thing is not only about what business is not business, but also about human life!
Holding Steward Liu's hands, he hesitated, not knowing whether to let go or continue to hold on tightly
