Chapter 285: The Gossip of Dongyang Temple (II)
Shen Yun couldn't help but pay attention to the movement on the side of Dongyang Courtyard. Hearing this, he intended to stay and watch the development of events. Unexpectedly, the next day, early in the morning, the porter came over to communicate: "Steward Shen, there is a young man named Zhao Xuan outside, who claims to be your neighbor, saying that he is looking for you in an emergency." β
The neighbors of the three streets were attached to Shen Yun and did not cross the Ming Road in Xianfu. Outside, they're still neighbors.
Shen Yun knew that Zhao Xuan was not in a hurry and would not find Tiger Yuetang.
Could it be that there was movement from the Immortal Mansion or Master Zhang's side? He hurriedly went to the mountain gate.
Zhao Xuan stood beside the carriage and was looking forward to the mountain gate. Seeing Shen Yun's figure, he hurriedly greeted him: "Master Shen, there is something, I have to ask you for a favor." β
Shen Yun knew that he was talking about excuses, nodded and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly." β
Zhao Xuan responded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please: "It's cold outside, you go and sit in the car." β
The two got into the car one after another.
After the carriage moved, Zhao Xuan lowered his voice and said quickly: "The second child of the Chen family has been poisoned." β
Shen Yun was slightly stunned: "When did it happen?"
"Last night. Zhao Xuan said, "It's arsenic." Master Zhang's book is that there are people among the immortal rune soldiers guarding the city gate. At night, they swept the bodies with broken grass and threw them directly at mass graves outside the city. My people were afraid of the scheme, and they kept watch in the dark until dawn before they dared to come close to check. β
"These days, what has Master Zhang not moved?" Shen Yun asked with a slight groan.
Zhao Xuan shook his head: "He is no different from usual. After a pause, some hesitation, "It's just ......"
"Just what?"
Yesterday afternoon, when he returned home, he saw that some snow had not been swept up on the steps of the gate, and he was furious, and snatched the whip from the coachman's hand, and whipped the two little men on duty in the porter's room. Zhao Xuan said, "My people have been staring at their house for so long, and it is the first time that he has personally beaten the servants of the house on the street." Seeing that the situation was extremely angry in the yamen, he took those two little guys out of anger. β
Shen Yun's mind turned quickly - he was angry in the yamen during the day, and at night, he ordered the second child of the Chen family to be poisoned...... Also, on the side of Tiger Leaping Hall, the hall master suddenly paid attention to the whereabouts of Liu Yishan's master and apprentice...... Could it be that the eldest master of the Xianfu Mansion did not contact Steward Qin for a long time and canceled the arrest plan? All the plans were empty, and the second child of the Chen family had already become a waste of chess, so Zhang Zhushu did not do anything, and directly poisoned people to kill them in order to extinguish his mouth?
As things stand, it is highly likely that this will be the case. Shen Yun clenched his fist in his sleeve, and said in his heart: I'm afraid that Master Zhang will not give up, and if he can't make a plan, he will have another plan.
"On the Tiger Leap Hall side, there was also a new situation yesterday. It is estimated that the previous plan of the Great Master of Xianfu to arrest the rebels has failed. He said.
"No wonder the second child of the Chen family was poisoned. Zhao Xuan suddenly realized, and wrinkled his brows in disgust, "Master Zhang is not the kind of person who gives up easily. This time, he failed to frame the lord, and he didn't know what bad water he was going to hold back. β
"So, keep an eye on him. Shen Yun admonished.
He knew that Steward Qin and Liu Yishan were both dead, and it was very likely that they would attract the Jade Secret Envoy. However, he is not worried at all: first, he did a clean job of Liu Yishan's death. Now only God and Earth know, and he himself knows. Besides, the small valley was filled with ice and snow, even if it was a jade secret envoy, I believe that nothing could be found; second, on the surface, he was recommended by Lord Ning Duwei to join Liu Yishan. Before, although there were rumors in Tiger Leaping Hall, saying that he was a related household of Liu Yishan, Liu Yishan also avoided the rumors with practical actions. Those rumors have long since dispersed.
Therefore, as long as he does not show his feet, no one will suspect him about the death of Liu Yishan and Steward Qin.
Zhao Xuanzi hugged his fists and commanded: "Yes." β
Next, Shen Yun asked Zhao Xuan that he was going home, so he took his carriage and went home togetherβoriginally, he planned to live in the library for the next few days, so that he could inquire about the movements of Dongyang Courtyard. However, as soon as he cleared his mind, he realized that he had almost made a mistake. Without relatives and no reason, he shouldn't be so concerned about the whereabouts of "Elder Jin". Anyway, there is Steward Zhang, and when he goes back to hand over, he will definitely be able to hear detailed follow-up news.
Sure enough, half a month later, Shen Yun returned to the library to hand over the errand. Steward Zhang gossiped with him again: "Those people in Dongyang Courtyard are really unlucky this time." Elder Jin and his apprentices were gone. The hall master was furious and personally sat in Dongyang Courtyard to check the accounts. Ouch, this time, there are few clean people in Dongyang Courtyard. It's only been three days, and three stewards over there have already been found to have made false accounts. β
"After the trial, the hall master realized that Elder Jin looked conscientious, but it was actually fake. He basically doesn't care about general affairs. As long as the stewards at the bottom paid enough filial piety money, he never cared about what they did. After reading the confession, the hall master was so angry that he was angry about the 'nest of snakes and rats', and sent someone to raid Dongyang Courtyard on the spot. β
"This time, the hall master was really angry. The little one heard that Elder Jin's room was not spared. In order to track down the stolen silver, the floor tiles of Dongyang Courtyard were pried open one by one. β
Shen Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly covered up: "Really found a lot of stolen silver?"
Steward Zhang pursed his lips angrily: "The people over there are all very rich." It was just an ordinary handyman, and at least more than a hundred taels of silver were found from the house. I heard that the hall master has already made up his mind, and when the accounts are cleared, he will report to the official. Now, there are no idle people waiting to enter and exit the Dongyang Courtyard. β
Shen Yun sneered in his heart: Just to recover the stolen goods, is it necessary to mobilize the people so much? It can be seen that these are all pretenses.
"The day before yesterday, the hall master also sent someone to ask the little one for the accounts of the library pavilion. Steward Zhang continued, "The little one handed over the previous accounts, and told that person the truth, the accounts of our library pavilion have always been managed by Steward Qin. He quit his errand suddenly. Elder Jin didn't say anything again, how could the little one dare to take charge of the accounts without permission? When the man heard this, he said that he wanted to go back and report to the hall master, and told the little one not to go out for the past few days. Hmph, the little body is not afraid of the shadow, just waiting for him in the library pavilion. β
Shen Yun asked, "Has the hall master sent anyone again?"
"Nope. Steward Zhang shrugged, "Yesterday afternoon, the hall master sent someone to send the accounts back, saying that there was no problem. He also said that the accounts will be managed by the small ones and you in turn for the time being. The little one has put the ledger on your desk. β
Shen Yun waved his hand: "How can I take care of any accounts? I can't understand it." Those who can work harder, or Steward Zhang should bother more. β
I really don't want to take care of things. Steward Zhang smiled: "The account book will be put there for you first." Wait for the next time when the small one is on duty, and then move away. What do you think?"
"Good. β
The next day, when Shen Yun was on duty, he saw a large handful of account books on the table, picked up one casually, and flipped through it. As a result, after only turning a few pages, I saw that there were several wrong accounts - Steward Qin was also unclean!
However, the hall master said that there was no problem with the accounts!
What does this mean!
Shen Yun twisted his eyebrows, and there was a sneer in his heart: It turns out that the hall master also knows that Steward Qin is a secret agent of the secret mansion!
Judging from the current situation, the hall master did not know that Steward Qin and Liu Yishan were dead. Perhaps, he, as well as the Grand Master of the Immortal Mansion and Master Zhang, they are all speculating that it was Steward Qin who unilaterally acted in advance and captured the "Elder Jin" who were rebels.
Still, that's fine. At least until the Jade Secret Envoy appears, the so-called capture of the rebels is temporarily over. He was finally able to clear his life.
Sure enough, the hall master quickly cut through the mess, and in just five days, he completed the affairs of Dongyang Academy. As Steward Zhang said, the stewards and miscellaneous servants in Dongyang Courtyard were all unlucky, and they were all sent to Xianfu on charges of corruption and theft.
Toyoin Temple was sealed. For the time being, the Library Pavilion will be taken over by Elder You.
