Zhou Ma and Zhou Yijun reacted immediately.

Someone sent a message to Mrs. Ma!

When Zhou Shigong escorted Zhang Pinggui, he acted so carefully and secretively, stuffed people into the carriage directly at the gate of the main courtyard, and did not let any idle people approach, and even sent someone to the west courtyard to keep an eye on Mrs. Ma, and the latter could even know the news of Zhang Pinggui's tie-up. Who the hell is that inner ghost?!

Haitang helped Zhou Ma's analysis: "Mrs. Ma just said that Zhang Pinggui was tied up when he came to the main courtyard to ask his aunt and grandmother for peace. If she had heard this from the messenger, and had not made an excuse herself, then the messenger should not have been a servant of the longhouse. ”

Zhou Jinpu's family and the servants around them all knew very well that Zhang Pinggui was coerced by Zhou Jinpu in a daze, and the so-called "please be safe" was impossible to talk about at all.

Zhou Yijun also said: "The old lady also said that it was my grandmother who ordered someone to tie Zhang Pinggui up...... It is estimated that the person who reported the news didn't know the ins and outs of the matter at all, but he saw that Zhang Pinggui was tied up, and he didn't know that it was his grandfather who ordered the person to be tied up. In this way, the messengers should not be the butlers and guards summoned by my grandfather. ”

Haitang felt that this conclusion was a bit hasty: "The people who assisted in escorting Zhang Pinggui to the Zhenguo Mansion have not come back yet, and it is impossible for them to go to the West Courtyard to report the news." However, if they told their accomplice about the matter, and the accomplice went to the West Courtyard to report the news, Mrs. Ma did not have time to see this accomplice until she sent Zhou Jinpu's family away, and she could also get the news. ”

Zhou Yijun thoughtfully: "This is also ...... If some of the guards could only say a word or two to their accomplices in a hurry, and did not have time to go into too much detail, it was reasonable for the old lady to have a wrong understanding of the truth. ”

Zhou Ma said: "It doesn't matter if that person is asking someone else to pass the word, if he dares to betray the Lord, he will not be allowed to do so!" When the master comes back, I must tell him about it, so that the master can thoroughly investigate the ghosts around him! ”

Zhou Yijun thought about it, and leaned over to Zhou Ma's side and whispered an idea: "Grandmother, why don't you go and inquire first, and see who has sent a message to the West Courtyard, and where has this person met with the housekeepers or guards before." So, when your grandfather comes back and asks, you have something to say, don't you? Grandfather has always ignored the housework, even if he wants to inquire after the old man knows, he will entrust it to his henchmen. But these henchmen ...... Who knows if it's reliable? It's better for grandparents to go out on their own! ”

Zhou Ma felt that his granddaughter's words were very reasonable: "Not bad. Eben should have shared his worries for the master, instead of telling him about the matter, and then let him worry about it himself. ”

Don't look at Zhou Ma's being bullied by her stepmother-in-law and stepson's family in the third room of the Zhou family, she has been married for more than 30 years, and she has also learned some house fighting skills when she was at home, and knows how to gain a foothold in the deep house compound. She couldn't get the power of housekeeping, but she didn't gather her own manpower. Even if these people can't help her seize power, they can still give her the news and let her avoid the big pit dug by her stepmother-in-law.

She immediately sent the silk out, but after half an hour, the latter came back with the news she had just heard.

When Mrs. Ma sent Zhou Jinpu away, she said that when his deceased mother married Zhuangzi Zhuang Tou a few years ago, he could go and ask Zhuangtou if he was really greedy for money, and the Tu family would not help her lie.

Zhou Jinpu was skeptical, but now that he had entered Layue, it was not a few days before Zhuangtou went to Chang'an to report the account, he could wait patiently for a while, and he also believed that Zhuangtou would definitely be biased towards himself. He also discussed with his wife that no matter what the outcome was, they would have to keep all the dowry of their deceased mother in their own hands, and they could no longer entrust others to take care of it.

When Zhou Mashi heard this, he couldn't help but say: "These two stupid children, the Tu family now has to look at the old lady's face, how can they say bad things about her?!" If they were really good for Zhou Jinpu, they would have said it a long time ago! ”

Zhou Yijun whispered to Zhou Ma's idea: "Grandmother, why don't you find a way to give a message to the Tu family?" As long as the Tu family knows that the old lady has lost power, and standing on her side, they will offend the entire Zhou family, and they will not dare to make another mistake! ”

Zhou Mashi hesitated: "The Tu family used to say bad things about his family in his early years, and he never dealt with his family, how can he talk?" asked Zhou Jinpu to know, but he misunderstood that he was deliberately sowing discord. ”

Haitang remembered Uncle Ma, he had always had private contacts with the Tu family, but he didn't seem to have informed Zhou Ma about this. But it doesn't matter, she can give a message to Uncle Ma for Zhou Ma.

The vignette came to an end for the time being, and Cai Juan continued to report the follow-up.

Mrs. Ma was noncommittal about the plans of Zhou Jinpu and his wife, and quickly sent them away. After she went back to the house, many housekeepers and mothers came to comfort and please her, the west courtyard has been very lively, and when there are fewer people, Mrs. Ma rushed to the main courtyard angrily to question her daughter-in-law.

The last person to go to see Mrs. Ma was said to be the servant woman in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the second gate, and her husband was on an errand in the gatehouse in the front yard. In other words, it is likely that her husband was on duty today, and he witnessed the carriage escorting Zhang Pinggui driving out of the gate, and most likely saw his face.

Zhou Mashi was immediately annoyed: "The people in the gatehouse in the front yard have just changed. The old man didn't want the old lady to see the outsiders anymore, so Tete arranged for his henchmen to go over. I didn't expect that there would be a ghost in the hands of the newly arranged person?! ”

Haitang said: "But isn't the carriage very tightly covered? My aunt and grandfather and my brother were also in the car, how could the people in the front yard be so sharp-eyed and see Zhang Pinggui in the carriage being tied up? ”

Zhou Mashi was stunned, and thought about it: "Could it be that there was a wind blowing the curtain at that time?" ”

Begonia didn't think that Hai Jiao, in the middle of the carriage, would carelessly leave such a big flaw. She began to think about the problem from a different angle: "The fourth general of the Zhenguo Mansion personally brought people to escort the car, such a big battle, if the person who reported the news was really in the gatehouse, how could he not tell Mrs. Ma?" In that case, she would know that Zhang Pinggui was escorted away by the heavy soldiers of the Zhenguo Mansion, how could she believe the lies made up by her aunt and grandmother? I won't rush over to question my aunt and grandmother. Because that means that Zhang Pinggui is exposed, and if she wants to protect this person again, she will get into trouble. ”

Zhou Ma and Zhou Yijun showed a sudden look in unison: "That's right! ”

Therefore, when the inner ghost reported the news, he did not see General Thursday and his party, otherwise there was no reason for him or her to skip this group of people and not mention it to Mrs. Ma.

It follows from this that the servant who delivered the message could not have received information from her husband. She got the letter in the back house, and she didn't meet with General Thursday and his party.

So, did she see Zhang Pinggui herself, or did she learn about it from others?

Cai Juan Cailuo is very sure that the sprinkling and cleaning work around the main courtyard today was completed as early as the morning. It was impossible for the servant woman in charge of the sweeping to come near at the time of the incident. She should only be responsible for reporting, not the real ghost.

So who is the inner ghost? Did he or she see Zhang Pinggui when he was tied up in the main courtyard? Perhaps it was when Zhou Shigong left, and the highest status in the house at that time was Zhou Ma's, so Mrs. Ma thought that it was Zhou Ma's who ordered someone to tie Zhang Pinggui up.

But Caijuan remembered very well that when Zhou Jinpu's family came to make trouble, she sent away the idle people in the main courtyard, and when Zhou Jinpu turned his head and went to the west courtyard, she sent a few people to follow to see the excitement, and the courtyard was basically empty.

Cairo also said that the three servants in the backyard were able to testify to each other, and no one had left.

So...... After Zhang Pinggui was tied up, before the general appeared on Thursday, who else would be the inner ghost among the servants in the main courtyard?

Is it the housekeeper who drove the car, or the guard who carried Zhang Pinggui into the car? Or someone else?

Zhou Mashi took a deep breath: "Check again!" Check out who among the people who went out with the old man today, and talked to the servant woman who reported the news! ”
