Chapter 235: Inquiry II
Guo Xian sobbed: "When we took a look, we found out that person was actually Steward Li!" β
Mrs. Su's hand clenched, "Steward Li?" β
Guo Xian nodded: "Yes, that person is Steward Li." A few of us were startled and called out to him. At that time, there was another person beside Steward Li, and Steward Li was very humble to him, and after the two of them said a few words, Steward Li came out. β
"Something happened to the master, why is he okay? What did he say to you? Mrs. Su asked anxiously.
Guo Xian said: "After he came out, we asked him why are you here?" Li Guan said a word in advance, and then kept gesturing at us, not letting us say that he was the master's subordinate. He said that what he said was the same as what the two officers said, but when he said it, he kept warning us, as if someone was watching him, suggesting that our business was not doing well, and that we should hurry home and wait. He also said that Master Su was unlucky, and it is estimated that the approval of the imperial court will come down soon, and Master Su's family must be unlucky, etc. Then he kept warning us to come back and report the news. Without saying a few words, the person inside began to urge, and Steward Li hurried back. Just, never came out again. After the little ones went back, they asked people everywhere about the case, and they were sure that there was one thing, saying that a southern businessman was executed more than ten days ago, but few people remembered where it was, and the little ones asked if it was Yangzhou, and they remembered it. It wasn't until this matter was decided, and I heard that it seemed that the court had not yet finished executing this matter, and it seemed that at least the house was going to be raided, and the small ones rushed back overnight. β
After saying all this, Guo Xian only felt trembling all over his body, he was afraid of being treated as a gang, and he inquired in fear, no longer had the anxiety he had at the beginning, and his heart was full of disbelief and fear.
"What about Steward Li? Didn't he come out again? β
Guo Xian said: "I don't know this little one. At that time, in order to rush to report the news, the little one set off that night, and the others stayed there to continue to inquire about the news. As for whether Steward Li has reappeared, I don't know. β
Mrs. Su's hands were clenched, and she muttered the most: "That, the corpse of the old man ......"
Guo Xian's tears rolled down again: "I heard that after the beheading, the old man's body was exploded for two days, and then he was thrown to the mass grave by the people of the official office......"
Mrs. Su only felt dizzy, and she almost fainted with a flower in front of her.
"Zhao Si, they said that they will definitely find the body of the master, madam, you have to take care." Guo Xian shouted.
Qingping handed over the tea, Lan Ruo helped Mrs. Shun, and Mrs. Su eased up a little.
And the people below followed Guo Xian's words, and some people screamed from time to time.
"Masterβ" Mrs. Su let out a sigh of relief and cried bitterly.
And the people below wept out. Lan Ruo wiped her tears and didn't know how to persuade at all. If the lady has just accepted the news of the master's death, then the news of the violent corpse on the street is difficult to accept no matter what.
"Madame should take care of herself," the housekeeper said, "At present, the overall situation is important, and when the person who framed the Su family is caught, let's avenge the master!" β
"Yes, avenge the master!" People stood up and shouted, and the crowd was excited.
"Yes, we want revenge, we must take revenge." Mrs. Su trembled and wept, clenched her hands and whispered. Although the voice was not as loud as Fang Cai, it was still firm in faith. "Fetch the stuff!"
Lan Ruo hurriedly turned around and took out a box, Mrs. Su took out the key, opened the box, and took out the contents of the box, which was a thick pile of paper.
"We want to avenge the lord, however, the judgment of the government may be coming soon. Although our Su family is facing an unknown fate, the best situation is not much better. "For such a big crime, it is a luxury to be able to leave the lives of children and grandchildren, so how can you talk about these subordinates." I will not let you be tortured. This is everyone's deed of sale," Mrs. Su divided the things in her hand into two parts and handed them to Lan Ruo and the housekeeper respectively, "Distribute it, all of you will be free from today onwards!" β
Everyone knew about this news two hours ago, but after actually seeing the deed of sale, they still couldn't believe it.
"Madame's great kindness, we will never forget it!" The people who received the things knelt down one by one and kowtowed and thanked them. As the butler and Lan Ruo's footsteps moved, more and more people knelt down. When the last one was sent down, there was only one left in the hands of the housekeeper and Lan Ruo, which was their own, and the two looked at each other and knelt at the front.
"Get up," Mrs. Su was already exhausted at this time, and her voice was even weaker, but in the silent courtyard, everyone still heard it, but no one got up, it seemed that only in this way could she express her sincere and fearful gratitude to Dade. Mrs. Su didn't pay attention to this, she already felt that she was exhausted, and she had to finish all the words, "From this day on, you are free." If someone is willing, they can come to Su Mansion to continue to work, but we will be in an employment relationship in the future, and nothing in Su Mansion will have anything to do with you. If you don't want to, you can go home, and I won't pursue it. β
This sounds familiar. Welcome the spring heart. Sure enough, both the lady and the girl have the same heart.
Mrs. Su stopped at this point, stood up with her chair in her hand, and slowly knelt down with her support.
Why is that?
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the housekeeper and Lan Ruo were anxious to help. "Madame!"
However, Mrs. Su raised her hand to stop it and said, "I'm here, I ask you for one thing. β
"Madame, please." With tears in his eyes, the butler spoke.
"On other days, if someone from the government inquires, please be able to testify for me and my lord! If so, if it is, who can help us find out the person who framed us, and help the master avenge his hatred, my Jiang family will be repaid for being a cow and a horse in the next life! When he had finished speaking, he prostrated heavily.
The steward and the others shouted, "This is what we should do, and Madame doesn't need to do it." Not only do we need to be witnesses, but we also have to find out who did it! Avenge the Lord! Even if Mrs. gives us freedom, we are still the descendants of the Su family in this life, as long as the Su family needs something, we will definitely look forward to the future and go to the soup and fire! β
"Yes, avenge the master! Don't hesitate! β
The courtyard that had been quiet for a long time was boiling again, and the vendors on the street couldn't help but look over again, today's Su Mansion was weird, and they looked at a person on the side and asked, "What happened to Su Fu today?" Quirky and weird. β
Another person booed and whispered: "You came late today, I didn't hear it, it is said that Master Su colluded with bandits in a foreign country and was killed by the government!" β
"What?"
