Chapter 75: Playing such a childish game
The girl knelt down and raised her head to beg for mercy: "Eunuch Li, this is not stolen money."
She was the kitchen girl who discovered Li Gege had committed suicide that day.
Xiao Lizi shook the weight in his hand: "It looks like a lot. Then tell me where you got all these silver coins. Did you steal them through gambling?"
"Of course it is, of course it is a reward from the master."
"Then it seems that you are doing a better job in the kitchen than I am. This bag is equivalent to three years of my salary. Why don't we exchange it? Tell me, what kind of good job is this?"
The girl lowered her head and shook her body, unable to speak.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Someone, let her talk."
"No, no, Eunuch Li, my servant said..."
Baotang Courtyard.
Lu Pheasant and Yinzhen sat on the stone table under the swing, eating each piece of the pumpkin on the plate, and listened to Eunuch Li reporting back one by one.
"The kitchen girl's name was Erba. Once she went out with a shop owner and was attracted by a man. The man said he was willing to marry her, redeem her body, and go away with her. But he still lacked some money on hand.
Therefore, Li Gege found her and asked her to do a favor. He happened to find her committing suicide when he came over that day, and then called someone outside to save her, so that he could give her a large sum of money.
The death contract was signed on 28th. The man lied and claimed to be the young master. He was having trouble with his family, so he was momentarily embarrassed. In order to run away with the man and live a good life, he agreed. "
Scams from ancient times to the present are inseparable from the same routine, but there are always people who fall for it.
And people who actually succeed in committing suicide are not easily saved.
Li is naturally a pretender of the United People.
Yinzhen: "Can you capture this liar?"
Xiao Lizi: "As soon as I get back to my master, I have already been escorted to the Yin Office of Jingzhao Mansion."
Lu Pheasant put down the silver note: "So, it wasn't she who pricked Li Gege's hand? Li Gege was locked up in the back room. According to Erba's own words, it was the first time that she came to deliver food on her behalf unintentionally. Who could help them? Did she explain the connection between them?"
Yinzhen: "Let's take a guess, is it the girl next to Li Gege, or the girl from Huxinting who was originally responsible for delivering meals to her?"
Lu Pheasant glanced at Brother Si, at this time, are you still playing such a childish game?
After thinking about it, Lu Pheasant finally said, "Why can't it be Li Gege himself?"
Yinzhen: "It may have been Li Gege's idea to pretend to be crazy. But pricking her hands and then using chicken and duck blood to pretend to be a tragic death doesn't seem like her method."
Lu Pheasant: "Master, I still understand Li Gege."
Yinzhen coughed.
Xiao Fujin was so jealous in front of her servants that she was not afraid that if the news spread, her reputation would be even worse.
Think about it, before marrying him, Ulanara was famous for being quiet and gentle.
Now, in just a few months, she has become a notorious tigress in the capital.
His fault was that he was sorry for Xiao Fujin.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen took Lu Zhi's hand and said, "I think it's both."
Lu Pheasant was confused and didn't pay attention to the movements of his hands: "This person was so cruel, it seemed that he had hatred for Li Gege. But since he hated her and had such an opportunity, why didn't he kill her on the spot instead of letting her succeed? Back to the west wing. If she is the maid next to Li Gege, why do you hate her? The girl in the kitchen has no other identity. "
It was so natural for Xiao Fujin to talk about someone being resentful of Mr. Li. Thinking that he had never known people before, Yinzhen's face turned bright and he just said: "If one ghost comes out, maybe the other one can't help but jump out on his own. "
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Master, Fujin, it was slave lard that deceived my heart. I believed the villain's words for a moment and helped Li Gege. I also ask master to forgive slave this time."
The person was escorted in by Xiao Yingzi, and it turned out to be one of the people the two of them were discussing just now. It was the girl who was temporarily responsible for delivering meals.
"What's going on, honestly?"
"Originally, my servant was just obediently delivering food to Li Gege. That day, Yan'er, the eldest girl next to Li Gege, found me and said that as long as I was willing to do them a favor, Li Gege would help arrange for my little nephew to study in the Li family's private school. I want to Thinking that... this matter would only be harmful to Li Gege, he... agreed. Who knew that they were actually putting on a show to deceive the master and Fujin.
If the master, Fujin, and slaves knew that things would turn out like this, they would never agree to it. "
Xiao Yingzi: "Tell me the truth, what kind of help did Li Gege and Yan'er ask you to do?"
"They said that as long as the servants go in and tidy up the house after calling people on February 8th, it will be fine."
"What did you pack?"
"It's a wooden bucket filled with chicken blood and duck blood and some cloth." The girl cried with tears in her eyes. "This slave is guilty. This slave is guilty. Master, please punish me."
Lu Pheasant: "So, has Li Gege arranged a private school for your nephew now?"
The girl looked stunned for a moment.
Yinzhen then said: "Take...forget it, so as not to dirty Fujin's place. Take him to the backyard room."
When the group arrived at the wing, they happened to bump into Mrs. Wu carrying a small bag of luggage out.
Mrs. Li scolded from behind: "Thank you very much for Wu Gege moving my position so early."
Wu ignored her.
When he saw the person coming from the front, he saluted quickly: "Greetings to Master, Fujin."
Lu Pheasant glanced at her, but she was wise and knew how to protect herself, so she waved her hand.
Wu turned around, bent over, and slowly withdrew.
As soon as he arrived at Mrs. Liu's house, he said, "I guess there will be results today."
"Really? Then we..."
Wu shook his head: "Did you forget that string of eighteen pieces last time so quickly? I have to go to you, remember to tell me when you come back."
"Hmph, I'm not going."
Mrs. Li was overheard and her expression turned pale without any embarrassment. She approached Si Age and said, "Master, you are here. You left early this morning and didn't even ask me to get up."
Yinzhen took a step back, and Su Peisheng stood sideways in front of him.
"Where is Yan'er?"
The maid in pink clothes behind Mrs. Li came forward and knelt down to salute: "Yan'er wishes my master and Fujin my regards."
Su Peisheng said: "Now the maid is accusing you of cheating on your superiors and cheating on your subordinates, and acting improperly. Do you agree?"
Yan'er lowered her head and said in a calm voice: "I don't dare! I don't recognize you! Please confront her face to face."
The girl came forward and seemed to have never seen such a battle before. She was shaking even more than before. She said: "Yan'er! You asked me to help clean up the fake blood so that Li Gege could commit suicide." Lies, are you going to deny them now in front of my master and Fujin?"
Yan'er: "Return to Master and Fujin's words, let this servant argue. That day Li Gege made a mistake and was reflecting on it in the lake pavilion, this cheap servant deliberately violated Li Gege. Yan'er really couldn't stand it, so she scolded her. Unexpectedly, She held a grudge and treated Li Gege more harshly.
Yan'er had no choice but to observe a few things. Now that Yan'er knew what she was doing, she was the first to complain. Master, Fujin, and Yan'er are not just saying what they say without proof, this servant has evidence. "
