"Say it slowly, say it slowly, what's wrong?" The butler asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiading took a few breaths and stretched out his right hand, which had a piece of paper in his hand.
"You..... Take a look. What is written on this? ”
Chen Jinbao stretched out his hand to take the paper, only to see that there were only a few lines of words on the paper.
"Mrs. Guifu has been taken away, I hope that the whole of your mansion will not publicize this matter, if you want Mrs. to return to the house unscathed, please wait for the letter in the future."
Chen Jinbao looked at the letter and was completely stunned.
"My lord? It's ....... on it."
Chen Jinbao handed the letter to the housekeeper, who was startled when he read it.
"Ouch, sama! It's something the kidnappers left behind! ”
Chen Jinbao didn't answer the housekeeper, but asked the housekeeper: "Where did you find this letter?" ”
The family replied, "Back to my lord, the little one was found by the tree at the gate when he was sweeping the gate." This letter was not even an envelope and folded and thrown there, the small one thought it was some kind of waste paper, but when I picked it up, I saw that it was such a thing, and the small one didn't know much so that I took it to the housekeeper to see. ”
Chen Jinbao thought about it, it seemed that there was a tree outside the gate, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, there was actually a letter there.
"Your Excellency! Do you want to report this to the master? The butler asked.
Chen Jinbao shook his head.
"What's the use of you showing him, and if you show him, he still has to give it to me?"
The housekeeper nodded, and then asked, "What should I do now, my lord?" ”
Chen Jinbao took the letter from the housekeeper's hand and read the content of the letter again, his mind kept spinning.
When he was in Yamen, the Jin family ran to say that the deceased was kidnapped because he saw the arrow shot by Ma Zhuang, and he knew what was going on with that arrow, and the so-called kidnapping was just speculation. But now this thing has appeared again, could it be that the murderer in this case is a thief of the Jin family, he found the arrow shot by Ma Zhuang, and thought that God helped him forge this kidnapping letter? Well....... No, no, this is just a possibility, maybe the deceased was really taken away by someone, but the Jin family found out about this letter one step later, and this possibility is also there.
The housekeeper saw that Chen Jinbao was holding the letter and looked motionless for a long time, and shouted, "My lord? ”
Chen Jinbao came back to his senses and smiled at the housekeeper.
"It's okay sir, that ..... Please take me to the maid I mentioned earlier. ”
The butler nodded.
"My lord, this is fine, but don't you want to look at the window that was shot by the kidnappers?"
When Ma Zhuang heard this, he reached out and scratched the back of his head.
Chen Jinbao replied to the housekeeper with a smile: "Oh, don't use it first, let's talk about it when you can use it later." ”
Chen Jinbao thought to himself, when the good guy was in the yamen, I helped Ma Zhuang round up once against the county master, and now I want to round up with you again?
The housekeeper also smiled at Chen Jinbao, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me."
................
The group quickly followed the housekeeper all the way to the door of a bedroom.
"Who's in this room?" Chen Jinbao asked.
The butler replied, "Oh, this room belongs to the young master." ”
Chen Jinbao asked again: "Is that maid specially serving Young Master Jin?" ”
The butler nodded.
"That's right, my lord deserves to be called a godcatcher!"
Chen Jinbao thought to himself: "If you say that, this is the reason why the deceased hates that maid." ”
The group walked in the door and found a maid cleaning up inside, and the housekeeper shouted, "Jin Ye, these adults are looking for you." ”
The maid looked back, and stood there with her head bowed and motionless, looking as if she was very afraid of these catches.
"Come here!" The butler shouted.
Chen Jinbao raised his hand and said, "Sir, don't scare her. ”
After speaking, Chen Jinbao walked in front of the maid alone, but the maid didn't dare to raise her head.
Chen Jinbao took a closer look and found that there were still some bruises on the maid's hands, as if they had been whipped by a whip.
"Don't be afraid, girl, lift your head up."
The maid stood motionless and did not speak, and the housekeeper stepped forward when he saw this, and said to the maid: "You are obedient, the evil woman who bullied you is dead, and the lord has come this time to investigate who killed the evil woman!" ”
Chen Jinbao's eyes widened and he looked at the housekeeper, good guy, this is how you help? Doesn't that mean I doubt her?
As a result, the butler really raised her head when she said this.
Chen Jinbao scratched the back of his head, thinking to himself, the good guy family is indeed rare enough.
She ....... Is she really dead? ”
The maid asked the housekeeper in a trembling voice, Chen Jinbao really couldn't understand when he looked at this maid, there were funerals hanging white cloth and white flowers everywhere outside the house, you don't know if you dare to love it?
The butler looked at the maid and said, "Yes! She's dead! ”
Tears came out of the maid's eyes, and then she began to cry like a child.
When she cried, the housekeeper kept persuading her, and she also made the catchers in the house sigh one by one. When the maid wiped her tears with her hands, the sleeves of her shirt slipped a little, and the exposed wrists were shocking scars. Chen Jinbao now feels that the mother-in-law died unjustly at all.
"Girl, don't cry yet, I have something I want to ask you." Chen Jinbao said.
The maid held back her sobs and said, "Big, my lord, slave, ........."
Chen Jinbao raised his hand.
"Okay, okay, okay, you hold back for a while. We'll get to that later. ”
The maid tried her best to control her sobbing, and Chen Jinbao saw that she was getting better, so she asked, "Girl, are you better now?" ”
The maid nodded and said, "My lord, please forgive me, the slave and maid are really enduring, and they can't help it, that's why it's like this." ”
Chen Jinbao looked at the maid, moved with compassion in his heart, and said, "I heard something, you have indeed suffered. ”
The maid wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then said, "Sir, you don't know, that the wicked woman put the slave and maid in the firewood room a few days ago, and the slave and maid were cold and hungry at that time, and she thought to herself that if anyone could get the slave and the maid out of here, the slave and the maid would marry him. If the woman could change her bad habits and stop abusing the slave maid, the slave maid would go to the temple every month to pour 20 incense sticks. If the woman could die, the slave would become a nun as a thank you. Now, now, that woman is really dead, slave, slave....... Yes! ”
After speaking, the maid cried again, Chen Jinbao scratched his ears and cheeks beside him, you dare to cry for a long time!
"Ahem."
Chen Jinbao coughed twice, and then said: "Oh, it seems that you are a girl who is based on faith, no wonder you cry so sadly." Let me ask you, when was the last time you saw that wicked woman? ”
The maid rubbed her nose with her sleeve and replied, "Yesterday morning." My lord, that woman is very evil, she beats and scolds her when she is not used to it, and the slave maid was put in the firewood room by her a few days ago, and she usually hides when she is seen. ”
Chen Jinbao nodded.
At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums beating outside. (To be continued.) )
