The cannon fodder of quick travel is not sad

Chapter 1030 She Knows a Secret 16
In the study.

Lord Hou of Qingyuan had no choice but to admit his cowardice after his posturing was useless, drooping his head in despondency, secretly glanced at the expressionless yamen servant, and then at the rows of soldiers outside, he was lying.

"Master Ben doesn't know, Master Ben doesn't know anything!"

snort!
Wisdom is stupid.

The yamen servant holding the knife hilt had a cold face, "I haven't asked anything yet, Gu Houye, don't you want to go to the yamen?"

Gu Hou Ye's eyes widened, and he pointed at him with trembling fingers, "You...how dare you! This Marquis is not one of those little people with no power or influence!"

"You dare to be rough on me, believe it or not, I will sue you!"

"Hey, be afraid!"

"I can't help it, I am so strong!"

The yamen servant still had no expression on his face, just like a dummy.

"Since Lord Marquis won't cooperate, then-"

"Come on, take it away!"

Lord Gu: ...

It wasn't until two soldiers grabbed his shoulders that he realized it, and howled in horror, "You dare! I'm the Marquis of Qingyuan!"

"Master Hou? Ha."

The yamen servant sneered, "Don't worry, you will be gone soon."

"And the entire Qingyuanhou Mansion..."

"I advise you to be honest, so as not to go to jail like Lord Hou. If you are lucky, maybe the emperor is kind and spares your life."

bad luck……

The pupils of the men in the study suddenly dilated, the emperor, the emperor?
"I confess, I will say anything, please don't arrest me, don't arrest me!"

want to live!

When he spoke, others followed suit and rushed to follow suit.

The yamen servant is very satisfied.

"About the sixth girl, Gu Wanxi, tell me one by one, the more detailed the better."

The man swallowed and began to speak.

"... There are many girls in the family, she is not the prettiest, her mouth is not sweet, her temper is also cowardly, she belongs to the type that does not attract attention."

"The Hou family is the last generation. In fact, it has long been unable to make ends meet. It has been reduced to living by selling dowries in pawns."

"man?"

"Who in the capital doesn't know that the women of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion are strong but the men are weak, and the wealth has been concealed for generations. The men's ambitions have long been smoothed away by pleasure."

"Cowardly, incompetent."

"I know! But it's too difficult to change. It's not as simple as eating, drinking and having fun."

"Anyway, with the old lady here, we won't starve to death."

"I remember that it should be April two years ago. According to the usual practice in previous years, I went to Jinlong Temple to pray for blessings. The old lady caught a cold and didn't go there. The eldest lady led the wives and girls in the mansion."

"Miss Six didn't go either on the pretext of taking care of the old lady."

"Since that day, the old lady has valued her."

"Later, I..." He looked at the yamen servant, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and continued, "Master Hou likes to drink, but he can't drink well. Once when he was drunk, he said that the old lady doted on Miss Six. It's because she has a thousand-year-old ginseng in her hand."

"Ginseng?"

"But Miss Six's aunt is just the daughter of a schoolteacher, and her family is poor. If there is ginseng, can she be a concubine?"

"However, it's been a long time since the mansion has heard of pawning things."

"The key dishes are okay."

"Men's monthly payment has increased by 20 taels, and drinking flower wine can afford good-looking girls."

"We don't know where Miss Six's ginseng came from. The old lady even hid it from the Marquis. No, maybe Miss Six didn't tell her."

Gone.

Another person reminded in a low voice, "Hey, there's that thing, have you forgotten?"

The officer frowned.

The man quickly put on a smile: "Although we don't know where Miss Liu's ginseng comes from, we do know her other secret."

Yamen servant: "What is it?"

The man hecked twice, "The men in the mansion are ignorant and incompetent. They hang out in various brothels, taverns and teahouses in the capital on weekdays, drinking flower wine, listening to ditties and watching operas. There is nothing a man should enjoy."

"Nothing to do."

"It's easy to see some of the dark sides that are unknown."

"I saw the sixth girl and Lu Qingzhu, the son-in-law of the Shouwang Mansion, entered the same room one after another. Well, it was in the Magnolia Tea House. It's just that I was timid and not as tough as Mr. Situ, so I didn't dare to go straight there. .”

"Many people know about this!"

"If you don't believe me, ask them, the old lady, the maids in the house..."

……

Just like what the man said, none of the female relatives in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion knew where Gu Wanxi's ginseng came from, even her aunt.

"Just ginseng."

"As long as Wanxi is thinking about the Gu family, it doesn't matter how she came here."

"If she doesn't want to tell, no one can ask."

"Wanxi said she picked it up in the rockery."

……

All kinds of unreliable.

"Who is Miss Six's personal maid?" In a yard, a female yamen servant asked in a calm voice.

No one answered.

After some threats, someone said.

The maid Gu Wanxi trusted the most was named Pearl, she was round and cute, sweet-mouthed, and clever, and she was always around Miss Liu.

Yep.

I also went out today.

"Although Zhuzhu knows about the sixth girl most clearly, the servants are not blind, deaf or stupid, they also know a little bit."

When she said this, many maidservants echoed in low voices.

"Isn't it? Miss Liu often talks to herself in the room alone."

"Sixth girl's things used to be taken care of by slaves. She was not favored, and she had to use her monthly money to subsidize Aunt Zhang. She was reluctant to buy even simple earrings. The house was cleaner than her face, let alone ginseng. Not even a whisker."

"That night, the slave had a stomachache. When she got up to go to the toilet, she saw a purple light coming from the sixth girl's room."

"When the servants were keeping watch at night, when they woke up in the middle of the night, they occasionally saw that the sixth girl was not on the bed."

"Every time I take a bath, the towel next to the tub is always dry, and the petals in the water are also put in. There is not a drop of water on the ground, and the slaves are guarding outside the door. I have never heard the sound of rushing water. .”

"Miss Six is ​​getting more and more beautiful, her face is as smooth as an egg that has been peeled off its shell."

"There was a man's voice in Miss Six's room."

……

All of this points to one problem: Gu Wanxi, the sixth girl from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, has a secret. Not surprisingly, it is a huge secret.

Don't think the maid is stupid.

One must be cautious when observing words and expressions, these slaves who have been sold under the face of their masters since childhood are no worse than an unfavored concubine.

Gu Wanxi thought that she had done an extremely concealed job, but she had already exposed her flaws.

As for why the slaves didn't explain to the old lady, no one would believe what they said.

Now people can do their jobs well.

However, the main reason is-

"forget."

"That's right, I suddenly remembered it today."

"Me too."

"Miss Six must have practiced sorcery."

……

Gu Wanxi's former good sisters were also interrogated one by one.

It matters a lot.

Even though they felt humiliated, even the elders in the family were helpless.

I hate it!

How could I have a handkerchief with a concubine?
