141. Sweeping monk
141. Sweeping monk
Chu Xujun received the message and rushed to the middle hall.
She saw a few beautiful bamboo seedlings outside, and thought to herself, Wei Ling still remembered to bring food to Guoguo, and thought that there should be nothing important to come over today.
settled down, faded his shoes, and entered the house, and Wei Ling, who was tall and tall, turned around and saluted her.
Chu Qiu, who came out early to receive him, said, "Mi, you're here. The general said that after he interrogated the Cheng family, he needed to take one more person from the Chu family."
Wei Ling nodded at today's fiancée: "It's called Xie Ao, it's the Chu family's bookkeeper."
Chu Xujun was stunned, the sweeping monk in the account room?
Wei Ling saw that the girl's expression was different, originally he hadn't heard her mention the Chu family, thinking that she was just an ordinary accomplice, seeing his fiancée's expression, he asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?"
Chu Qiu: "General, I don't know about this matter, so let me talk about it. There is only one man in the account room in the inner courtyard of our Chu family, and that is this old man named Xie Ao. He is old, and he is an old friend of his father, and it is also the origin of the previous generation that he will stay in the Chu family.
This, rashly let people take him away, we will be ashamed of our last words to our late father. I wonder if Cheng said what Xie Ao did?"
Wei Ling: "Cheng admitted that she resold the things in the Chu family's treasury, and on several occasions Xie Ao carried and introduced them to her, and Xie Ao also had a share in the money she earned." c
At this moment, Hua Liancheng's voice came from outside: "Impossible. Xie Ao is an old friend of Jun Gong, and he said that he had a favor but did not repay it, so he did not dare to leave. It is impossible for such a trustworthy and grateful person to collude with the Cheng family."
Hua Liancheng watched Dong Fu and Lu Qinqin rush over after being picked up by the sedan chair of King Zhen's Mansion from the northwest corner.
Dong Fu still has a small sedan chair to sit on, but Lu Qinqin, the little widow who wants to follow, can only walk next to the sedan chair.
Originally, Lu Qinqin also wanted the Chu family to arrange a carriage before she was willing to go, but it was the matchmaker from the Zhenwang Mansion who said: "This dusk has come, don't miss the hour." Madame, do you love to go?"
Lu Qinqin gave up.
Dong Fu on the side was even talking about her going to see Xufeng Gongzi again.
Hua Liancheng didn't want to watch and listen again, so he hurriedly ordered someone to close the door in the northwest corner, rushed to the middle hall, used a cup of soy milk first, and took a breath.
Chu Xujun wanted to know the story of the bookkeeper for a long time, and when she saw Wei Ling in embarrassment, she said, "Why don't I take Mr. Xie and go with the general."
Cheng's intentions are obvious, she waited in prison for a day, knowing that Chu Qiu would not make a move, and Chu Jie was likely to be left in the Chu family by Hua Liancheng.
She could only pull the Chu family alone to save herself.
Wei Ling is Chu Xujun's fiancé, he is meticulous in his work, and even the news of the arrest of Mrs. Chu Jiazhong has not been leaked along the way.
Wei Ling will definitely not come to the door to bring people.
It just so happened that the Cheng family knew that there was another person, and the Chu family would not ignore him, and that was Xie Ao, who was not very familiar in the account room.
This person has a special status in the Chu family, and when the Cheng family is in charge of the Chu family, he has always only treated him as if he did not exist, and Chu Qiu will take care of the rest.
As the daughter of Mrs. Chu's benefactor, and the door of the Chu family that only entered by means, Cheng specially checked Xie Ao and knew that this was Mrs. Chu's gracious person.
It was only after understanding Xie Ao's matter that Cheng firmly proposed to blackmail Mrs. Chu with "kindness", an old man who is so interested in kindness, will not easily refuse the only request of his life-saving benefactor.
And now, this Xie Ao is the key to the Chu family's move for the Cheng family.
Chu Xujun wants to understand things, how can Hua Liancheng and Chu Qiu not understand?
Hua Liancheng glared at his daughter: "The engagement banquet hasn't been held yet, so you're in such a hurry to help your fiancé?"
Chu Qiu was very grateful to Chu Xujun: "Mi, you are willing to come forward, the second uncle is very grateful."
If it weren't for Chu Xujun taking the initiative, then he would have followed Xie Ao over to see the wicked woman, thinking that she had deceived him for twenty years and attacked the Feng family, Chu Qiu's heart was disgusted.
Chu Qiu was still afraid that Sister-in-law Qiu would stop him, so he hurriedly said, "Old Mr. Xie is old and has a bad temper, general
Bear more bears with you."
Hua Liancheng glanced at Chu Qiu, and estimated that Chu Ji and Chu Jie were not optimistic about the affairs of Shanyue Academy, Chu Qiu's heart was still a little pimple.
That's it, anyway, I'm going to go, so let my daughter be busy, this is also a good time for her to take charge of the family and further establish her authority.
Hua Liancheng straightened her daughter's clothes: "General, take care of her, she is not in good health, don't get damp when she goes."
Wei Ling: "Flower Girl-kun, don't worry."
Chu Qiu was also very positive: "I'll go and tell Xie Ao in person."
After so long, Chu Xujun finally saw the true face of the "sweeping monk".
But the old gentleman came out, wearing a curtain longer than his body, he couldn't see anything, and his tone was very bad: "Then Cheng's nonsense, whoever comes, will take the old man away." After Mrs. Chu left, the Chu family became more and more disagreeable, is there still half of the famous family back then? If the old lady is still here, I'll see who can take me away today."
Chu Qiu followed behind Xie Ao, his face was very embarrassed, and he apologized to Wei Ling: "Please forgive Mr. Xie for the sake of Mr. Xie's poor health."
Wei Ling: "Mr. Xie, what Cheng is accusing us of requires you to confront her in prison. For the sake of the innocence of the Chu family, I hope the old gentleman will forgive me."
Xie Ao in the black curtain did not move.
Chu Xujun smiled and said, "Mr. Bookkeeper, I haven't seen you for so long, and I'm still so angry. Didn't you say you like my soy milk? I've made ice cheese recently, and it's delicious, so let's use it in the wagon, how about it?"
"Ice cheese, sounds like it's perfect for summer. Then the old man will go this way."
It was not easy to coax the old gentleman into the carriage.
Chu Xujun turned her head and saw that Wei Ling was not moving, she said, "There are also generals, but the little girl has no drink, and she can't do without Wei Ling, don't worry."
Hua Liancheng said coldly on the side: "Since it is the saltpeter that General Wei searched, no matter what you say, you have to invite the general to drink."
Wei Ling hurriedly set off with Chu Xujun.
After Hua Liancheng finished speaking, he looked up at his son Chu Wen not far away, and looked at the man in Xuanyi with enthusiasm.
If Chu Xia just likes Hongying***'s temperament, then I'm afraid that this stupid son who is obsessed with martial arts really wants to practice martial arts with Wei Ling.
Zhongzhou big camp?
In that place, there is Zhao Xin, the prince of the Zhen Wangfu, or goodbye.
The matter of Shanyue Academy is not completely over, and it is time for Hua Liancheng to find another way for the children.
**********
Zhongzhou, the prison.
Wei Ling: "Why don't you go in, I'll make sure that the old man comes out safe and sound."
Come here, just visit the ancient prison cell, Chu Xujun: "I also happened to meet the second uncle."
Xie Ao: "Do you want to go? It's dark......
None of the three delicious berry cheeses made the sweeping monk speak with any less momentum.
Mrs. Chu probably was afraid that this old gentleman would offend too many people, so he gave him a room to stay in.
Soon, Chu Xujun regretted it, this ancient prison cell, there is really nothing to visit.
