Vol 4 Chapter 83: The man in black (one more)

Xu Yunchu did not expect to ask such a thing, wondering why Su Fengnuan did not stay in the Guozhang Mansion, but left. I must have guessed that since it was the housekeeper of the Guozhangfu who committed the crime, it must have involved something that the inner house could not be said?
He looked at the housekeeper with a dark expression, and asked in a deep voice, "In this way, you did the psychedelic fragrance for plum blossoms in Xu Lingyi's yard?"
The butler shook his head, "It's not made by the old slave. How can the old slave get the psychedelic incense that even the son can't recognize? But the old slave has been careful since he was a child. As the housekeeper of the house, the old slave naturally cannot hide from the old slave. The old slave naturally knows what has changed in the lady’s yard. This year’s plum blossoms have not bloomed after the winter. The other day, they suddenly opened overnight. It was very enchanting and different from previous years. The old slave checked it in private and knew that there was a problem with Meihua."
Xu Yunchu said, "Do you know what's wrong with that plum blossom? Can it kill me?"
The steward said, "Naturally, the old slave didn't know if he could harm the son's life, so he folded a bunch of plum blossoms, took out the house, and secretly searched for people in the black market on the rivers and lakes, saying that the plum blossoms were extremely mixed. Psychedelic incense. If people inhale too much, it will not only be illusion, but also make people die. So, after the lady's accident, the old slave put it in the master's study again by Yun Ni's hand."
Xu Yunchu said, "Are you not curious about the origin of this psychedelic fragrance?"
The steward said, "I know that the young lady is doing some crazy things in order to plot Ye Shizi in the Rong'an Palace. The old slave doesn't care about what the young lady wants to do. The old slave only wants to kill the son and avenge her."
Xu Yunchu looked into his eyes and said, "You are lying."
The steward immediately said, "Since the old slave was arrested by the son, he is already a dying person, why should he lie?"
Xu Yunchu said, "You are the one who helped Xu Lingyi open the secret path of the agency, right?"
The butler immediately denied, "It's not an old slave."
Xu Yunchu said to him, "Human eyes are the least deceptive. Your eyes are telling me that you are lying. You like my mother because I expose her and she committed suicide. It is true that you hate me. But for Xu It is true that you lie about the matter of Lingyi."
The housekeeper looked at Xu Yunchu, and was speechless for a while.
The head of the country was furious, "Dog things, it's not true to attract them!"
Xu Yunchu said, "Since you like my mother, you must be extremely concerned about her affairs. Therefore, when she dug a secret road in her yard back then, she naturally couldn't hide it from you. You naturally know the secret road. I After the mother died, you used Xu Lingyi to give her the hate spring breeze and harm Ye Chang. At the same time, you pulled the Guozhang's mansion into the water. She went to the palace banquet, and you calculated the time, opened the secret path mechanism, and borrowed This wants to harm me. Isn't it?"
The butler did not speak.
Xu Yunchu said to him, "I have been thoroughly investigating who is behind the use of Xu Lingyi, but there is no clue, because I have never doubted you. As the steward of the governor’s mansion, and the son of the family, you are here. Under my nose, I didn't doubt your loyalty."
The governor was furious again, "Dog stuff, the governor’s mansion raises you as a white-eyed wolf. Tell the truth, with whom are you conspiring to murder the governor’s mansion?"
The housekeeper suddenly became excited, "Yes, it was all made by me. The lady was willing to let the lady seduce Ye Shizi with the hate spring breeze. Since she cooperated, I just happened to be able to kill the son to avenge the lady, why not?"
The head of the country stepped forward, "I'm going to kill you!"
Xu Yunchu stretched out his hand to hold the head of the state's arm and said to him, "Grandpa calm down!"
The governor suddenly said, "How can I calm down my anger, this dog, eaten by the governor's mansion, dressed in the governor's mansion, and used the governor's mansion, is actually killing you for a woman. It's a horrible thing."
The steward said, "I'm not for other women, but for the uncle of the country. She is also a member of the government office."
The head of the country suddenly jumped into a rage, "She is a member of the head of the country, she is a broom star! If she hadn't died early, I would have to kill him."
The butler suddenly said, "It's okay if the master cuts me, I will go down to wait for my wife in the nine springs."
The head of the country was so angry that he wanted to do it again.
Xu Yunchu grabbed him with a calm voice and said, "Grandpa, calm down, he is lying."
"Lying again?" The head of the country stopped his hand immediately.
Xu Yunchu looked at the butler and said, "You were born in the mansion of the governor, and you grew up in the mansion of the governor. I know what your skills are. You can't do such a careful thing, and when I ask you, you admit it. It's too fast, so there must be someone behind." The words fell, and said, "Concubine Yue is dead, and my mother is dead. But the person behind must know that you like my mother, so I found you. Xu Lingyi is for it. Ye Chang, and you were trying to kill me. So, he used it all."
The butler was silent again.
Xu Yunchu said to him, "My mother died because I exposed her, and she died because of it. But even if I didn't expose her, Ye Shizi also found her. She committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitor to the concubine Yue. "The words fell," said, "Although you are covered with lard, you must have no intention of killing me in the first place. Although my mother and I have a shallow family relationship, I am also born to her. Over the years, I should do my best. His filial piety is not lacking. You should have been deceived later, and then you thought of killing me."
The housekeeper looked at Xu Yunchu in surprise.
Xu Yunchu sighed and said to him, "If you are really a treacherous person who harms my heart, my grandfather, father, and me, three generations will not allow you to stay by your side." The words fell, "You said Let me leave you a whole body."
The whole body is the greatest comfort to the deceased, if there is no whole body, death can not be superlative.
"Are you going to tell me!" The head of the country was furious.
The butler was silent for a moment, looking at the head of the country looking like he could not wait to pluck him, and said, "Since the son has guessed it all, then I will say. The son really left my corpse?"
Xu Yunchu said, "I do what I say."
The butler heard the words, "I don't know who that person is."
The head of the country was furious, "Nonsense!"
The butler looked at the governor and said, "Master can disbelieve what I said, but what I said is indeed the truth. Every time that person comes to the governor's mansion from the secret road, he is covered in black and he does not even show his eyes."
"If you don't show your eyes, why did he come to the courthouse?" The chieftain naturally didn't believe it.
The steward said, "He is extremely martial arts, walking silently, and the old slave was shocked when he first saw him."
The governor said, "Who is he? Believe him without knowing his name?"
The steward looked at the head of state and said, "After Madam died, the old slave didn't want to live, why don't you believe him? Anyway, the old slave wants to die, and it's all right to carry his salary before death."
The governor scolded again, "You dog thing!"
Xu Yunchu asked, "Then whether he is tall, short, fat or thin, you can always tell."
The steward said, "The man is neither fat nor thin, he is shorter than you, and his voice is thicker. The old slave doesn't know the rest."
Xu Yunchu asked, "What about the clothes? Even if you wear black clothes to cover your face, what kind of fabric? You have been a steward of the government for many years, and it is not difficult to know."
The steward said, "The man is wearing ordinary linen, and the shoes under his feet are the flat shoes of the family, not the boots worn by the rich and the rich. His hands have been in his sleeves. The old slave saw him three times and did not see his hands. The rest. Yes, the old slave doesn't know."
"When was he first looking for you?" Xu Yunchu asked again.
The steward said, "When the son was in Yanbei."
Xu Yunchu asked again, "What about the second and third time?"
The steward said, "The second time the son asked the doctor Meng to enter the mansion to see the young lady. The third time was the day before the young lady came back from Xuemeiling in the suburbs to appreciate the plum blossoms."
Xu Yunchu said, "Where did you meet him?"
The butler said, "The first time was in my own room, and the second and third time I was called by the young lady to her room."
Xu Yunchu asked again, "Did he find you first or Xu Lingyi first?"
The steward said, "It seems that it was the young lady who was looking for first. It should be after the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. After you also went to Yanbei, the son, you looked for the young lady, and then you looked for me."
Xu Yunchu said, "Did he find the rest of the mansion?"
The butler shook his head, "No more! In his opinion, it is enough for the two of us in the government office."
Xu Yunchu said, "It is indeed enough." Then he asked, "When does he come every time?"
The steward said, "The first time came late at night, and the second and third days were just at night." When the words fell, he said, "Otherwise the old slave would not dare to enter the lady's yard when it was too late."
Xu Yunchu said again, "Although he speaks thickly, but he has a Beijing accent?"
The butler was startled, thinking for a while and saying, "It seems to be the accent of the Beijing generation."
Xu Yunchu finished asking what he should ask, and said to him, "Although I promised to give you a whole corpse, but I didn't tell you to give it to you now, you can live a few days." After the words fell, he ordered Fu Ying, "Take him to the dungeon. ."
Fu Ying responded with a yes, and took the housekeeper to the dungeon.
Seeing that the butler was taken away, the governor hated him, and asked Xu Yunchu, "You have asked so much, do you know who is behind it?"
Xu Yunchu shook his head and said to the governor, "Although I don't know who it is, I know that my mother and Concubine Yuegui must have been closely related during their lifetime. From tomorrow on, the grandson will begin to thoroughly investigate the affairs of their lives. Clearly, sooner or later you will know who it is."
