350 shake the pot

Seeing Su Qingluan's left "next work", the right one "not as good as pigs and dogs", and what kind of "crooked neck tree" and the like, they simply stepped on their faces into the mud, but Zhang Ma and Steward Xie couldn't say a word for a while.

The two of them didn't even dare to be angry at Su Qingluan, to be precise, the person behind Su Qingluan.

Although these two people are not good-looking, they are not stupid. Since they reported the names of those people like Su Qingluan reported the names of the dishes, Steward Xie knew that this little girl was not making things up. And Zhang's mother is even more human, the person who went to do the work was Steward Xie's subordinate, she knew by looking at Steward Xie's expression that Su Qingluan was not simply bluffing.

What's more, Su Qingluan explained in detail the appearance and characteristics of the master's envoy, which was completely in line with the little steward under him, which made people gasp even more.

If it's just to drive away a few ruffians and hooligans, people with a little bit of family resources in this era will invite a few caretakers, so it's not surprising.

But being able to take care of the home may not be able to be tortured and interrogated - after all, the ruffians have been doing a lot of things about stealing, playing slippery pits, and abducting and deceiving people all year round, and if they don't have any special experience, they are likely to be fooled.

This means that the person behind Su Qingluan is not ordinary.

Steward Xie and Mama Zhang both regretted it a little - they only thought that Su Qingluan was a little girl in the countryside who didn't know the height of the sky, so they casually arrested their family members and scared them, and then gave them a little more silver.

As a result, instead of swinging the stick, he kicked the iron plate on his side.

For a while, the atmosphere in the air was unilaterally stagnant, Su Qingluan was leisurely on this side, as if he was sitting in his own home, and on the other side, Zhang Ma and Steward Xie didn't say a word, and the servants who were serving around them lowered their heads like quails, and they didn't even dare to breathe, lest they make any noise and be angry.

Compared with Zhang's mother, Steward Xie is far more thick-skinned from both the physical level and the spiritual level, so although he has been made angry by Su Qingluan's yin and yang, his face has been adjusted in just a few breaths, and he is the kind and fat Maitreya again.

Su Qingluan was amazed in his heart: Look, the thickness of this face is not comparable to ordinary people, and it is also very admirable in a sense.

Although this kind of "admiration" is very contemptible.

She had a long time to see how the smiling Steward Xie could quibble and exonerate—though she felt that the greatest possibility was to shift the blame to her subordinates.

Sure enough, Steward Xie immediately seemed to have just found out, and exclaimed at the empty coffee table in front of Su Qingluan: "Eh, Mrs. Su has been sitting here for so long, and we haven't served tea and refreshments yet, it's really rude!" ”

As he spoke, he told the people below to prepare immediately.

Su Qingluan glanced at Steward Xie with the kind of "I'll see how you want to perform" eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, I was almost kidnapped, so it's not bad for this little rudeness." ”

"You laughed," Steward Xie even moved out of the honorific title, and the kind feeling of being condescending in seclusion turned into flattery, "There must be some misunderstanding in this, the people you said, Mother Zhang and I really don't know!" ”

Hehe, it seems that I still want to pretend to be stupid and shirk responsibility, this is not simple?

"It doesn't matter, I just need to hand over those ruffians to the county office, our county lord here is the lord of Qingtian, he will definitely help me interrogate it clearly - after all, these land hooligans have a good memory, and they all promise that if that person stands in front of them, he will definitely be able to recognize him."

In these years, the movement of people in each area is very limited, and every time they cross the city gate, even if they just go from the countryside to the town, they have to check their identities - just like Su Qingluan's family has to do every day.

Because of such a strict and cumbersome household registration check, usually a person who has a regular job in one place is rarely able to move to another.

So if you want to find someone, after providing a profile for a portrait, post it in an area that the person frequents, and there is a good chance that you will find the person - unless he immediately absconds to another area.

However, with the means of transportation in this era, it is also very difficult, and even if there is this possibility, it is a small servant can do it.

…… If he can really do it, it is not good to do something directly, it is better than being a person in a mansion in Xie Mansion.

Thinking so, Su Qingluan smiled again: "I can't guarantee anything else, but I'm still very good at drawing portraits of people - it just so happens that the pen I use is also on my body, is Steward Xie interested in letting me draw one?" ”

Steward Xie, where is that leisure? Because he also remembered that the local county lord was a well-known hard bone - this is one of the important reasons why he has passed the age but still hasn't been promoted.

Such a hard bone, even Xie Xuanfan himself would feel a headache when he saw it, let alone Xie in charge of them. If it's really so troublesome that you need to see an official, it's not easy to clean up.

Otherwise......

A fierce light flashed in Steward Xie's smiling eyes: Otherwise, I would have done that subordinate......

He was thinking about killing people, but Su Qingluan was also thinking, it was estimated that these two people were going to put all the responsibility on their subordinates, but how could she let these people succeed?

It's not that her mother's heart is attacking or anything, that subordinate can come up with such a way to "complete the task", which shows that the person himself is not a good person, so she doesn't care very much about whether the other party lives or dies.

However, the key problem is that the instigator behind the scenes is sitting in front of him, and both sides know it, but there is no direct evidence.

Of course, Su Qingluan could ask Mu Xingzhi to let him arrest that subordinate directly and let him identify Steward Xie or Mama Zhang, but in that case, it is estimated that the business will not be able to be done.

It's not interesting to catch small shrimps, but the lesson still has to be given, so Su Qingluan smiled: "After all, I'm not a bad person, and I don't mean to kill them all - after all, we still have to do business together, right?" ”

When Mama Zhang and Steward Xie heard this, they were like hearing fairy music. The two of them are so colorless, to put it bluntly, although they have a certain relationship with the people behind Su Qingluan, the biggest reason is that they are afraid that they will not be able to complete the task assigned by Xie Xuanfan, and this time it will be difficult to explain.

When the time comes, it will be a trivial matter if he will no longer be used, Xie Xuanfan himself is a ruthless character who can imprison his father and seize power, if he disrupts his plan, I don't know what kind of punishment will be imposed.

So when he heard Su Qingluan say that there was still hope for cooperation, Steward Xie's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded busily: "Su Niangzi, you are magnanimous, I am far from waiting!" ”

Zhang's mother also nodded again and again: "This time we are not using people properly, I hope that Mrs. Su will forgive her sins!" ”

Su Qingluan said with a smile: "Doing business together, where is there so serious as 'forgiveness'?" As long as you agree to a few 'small' requests, I will think that there will be no serious consequences for today's affairs, and I will not do anything else - just send the bad man to the government. ”
