Xu Yunchu didn't expect to ask such a thing, thinking why Su Fengnuan didn't stay in the Guozhang's mansion, but left. I must have already guessed that since the butler of the Guozhang's mansion committed the crime, it must have involved something that the inner house can't talk about, right
He looked at the butler with a gloomy face, and asked in a deep voice, "So, you are also the one who made the psychedelic incense for the plum blossoms in Xu Lingyi's yard?"
The butler shook his head, "It wasn't made by this old slave. How could this old slave have the ability to find a psychedelic fragrance that even the young master can't recognize? It's just that this old slave has been careful since he was a child. , as the big steward of the mansion, the old slave can't hide it from the old slave. Naturally, the old slave knows about any changes in the young lady's yard. This year's plum blossoms have not bloomed since winter, but a few days ago, they suddenly bloomed overnight. , blooming very enchantingly, which is different from previous years. The old slave checked it privately and knew that there was something wrong with the plum blossoms."
Xu Yunchu said, "Do you know what's wrong with that plum blossom? Can it kill me?"
The housekeeper said, "Of course this old slave doesn't know whether it can kill your son, so I broke a bunch of plum blossoms, took them out of the house, and secretly searched the black market on the rivers and lakes to ask someone, and said that the plum blossoms were mixed with extremely powerful Psychedelic incense. If people inhale too much, it will not only create hallucinations, but also cause people to die. So, after the accident happened to the young lady, the old slave put it in the young master's study again with the help of Yun Ni."
Xu Yunchu said, "Aren't you curious about the origin of this psychedelic fragrance?"
The housekeeper said, "I know Miss is doing some crazy things in order to seek Ye Shizi of Prince Rong'an's house. This old slave doesn't care about what Miss wants to do. This old slave just wants to kill Young Master and avenge Madam."
Xu Yunchu looked into his eyes and said, "You're lying."
The housekeeper immediately said, "Since the old slave was captured by the young master, he is already dying, so why would he lie?"
Xu Yunchu said, "You are the one who helped Xu Lingyi open the secret channel, right?"
The housekeeper immediately denied, "It's not an old slave."
Xu Yunchu said to him, "People's eyes are the most deceiving. Your eyes are telling me that you are lying. You like my mother because I exposed her and she committed suicide. It is true that you hate me. But for Xu Yunchu About Lingyi, you are telling a lie, but it is also true."
The butler looked at Xu Yunchu, and was speechless for a moment.
The head of the country was furious, "Dog, why don't you invite it!"
Xu Yunchu said, "Since you like my mother, you must be very concerned about her affairs. So, back then, when she secretly dug a secret passage in her yard, she couldn't hide it from you. Of course you know about the secret passage. I After your mother died, it was you who used Xu Lingyi to give her Hate Chunfeng, which harmed Ye Chang, and at the same time dragged the manor of the country into the water. She went to the palace banquet, and you calculated the time, opened the secret channel mechanism, and borrowed You want to hurt me, don't you?"
The butler didn't speak.
Xu Yunchu said to him, "I have been thoroughly investigating who is using Xu Lingyi behind the scenes, but there is no clue, because I have never doubted you. As the housekeeper of the mansion and the son of the mansion, you are here Under my nose, I did not doubt your loyalty."
The head of the state was furious again, "Dog thing, the head of the state's mansion raises you like a white-eyed wolf, tell the truth, who do you cooperate with to murder the head of the state's mansion?"
The housekeeper suddenly became agitated, "Yes, I did it all. It is the miss's willingness to let the miss take the hate spring wind to seduce Ye Shizi. Since she cooperates, I can just kill the son to avenge the wife. Why not do it?"
The abbot stepped forward, "I'm going to cut you!"
Xu Yunchu stretched out his hand to hold the abbot's arm, and said to him, "Grandpa, calm down!"
The head of the country immediately said, "How can I appease my anger? This bastard, who eats, wears, and uses the clothes of the head of the house, actually wants to kill you for a woman. It's really a wolf."
The steward said, "I'm not for other women, but for my uncle and wife, who is also a member of the husband's mansion."
The head of the country suddenly became furious, "What kind of person is she from the house of the head of the country, she is a broom star! If she hadn't died early, I would have killed him too."
The housekeeper immediately said, "It's fine if the master cuts me, I'll go down to serve my wife."
The head of the state was so angry that he wanted to do it again.
Xu Yunchu grabbed him and said calmly, "Grandpa, calm down, he's lying."
"Lying again?" The head of the country stopped immediately.
Xu Yunchu looked at the steward and said, "You were born and raised in the manor of the country. I know what you are capable of. It is impossible for you to do such a meticulous thing, and when I asked you, you admitted It's too fast, so there must be someone behind it." The words fell, and said, "Concubine Yue is dead, and my mother is dead. But the people behind must know that you like my mother, so they found you. Xu Lingyi did it for Ye Chang, and you wanted to kill me, so he used them all."
The butler fell silent again.
Xu Yunchu said to him, "My mother's death was caused by me exposing her. She died because of it. But even if I didn't expose her, Ye Shizi would have found her. She committed the crime of collaborating with the imperial concubine Yue and betraying the country, and she will definitely die. "After the words fell, he said, "Although you have covered your head with lard, you probably didn't have the idea of killing me at the beginning. Although my mother and I have a shallow relationship, I am also born of her after all. Over the years, I should do my best. There is nothing missing from my filial piety. You must have been bewitched by someone later, so you came up with the idea of killing me."
The housekeeper looked at Xu Yunchu in surprise.
Xu Yunchu sighed, and said to him, "If you are really an evil person who is harmful to my heart, my grandfather, father, and I, three generations, cannot let you stay by my side forever." After finishing speaking, he said, "What do you say?" Come on, I'll leave you with a whole body."
A whole corpse is the greatest consolation to the dead. Without a whole corpse, death cannot be reborn.
"Are you going to tell me or not!" the head of the state was furious.
The steward was silent for a moment, seeing the state-father's expression of wanting to cut him, and said, "Since the young master has guessed it all, then I will say it. The young master really left my whole body?"
Xu Yunchu said, "I will do what I say."
The housekeeper heard the words, "I don't know who that person is either."
The head of the state was furious, "It's a bunch of nonsense!"
The housekeeper looked at Guo Zhang and said, "Master, you don't have to believe what I said, but what I said is indeed true. Every time that man came to Guo Zhang's mansion from the secret road, he would cover his face with black clothes and not even show his eyes."
"How did he come to the Guozhang's mansion without showing his eyes?" The Guozhang naturally didn't believe it.
The steward said, "He is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he walks silently. When this old slave saw him for the first time, he was shocked enough."
The head of the state said, "Who is he? You don't even know his name, so you believe him?"
The housekeeper looked at the father-in-law and said, "After Madam died, the old slave didn't want to live anymore. Why didn't he believe him? Anyway, the old slave also wanted to die, so it's all right to take his wages with him before he dies."
The head of the country scolded again, "You bloody bastard!"
Xu Yunchu asked, "Then you can always tell whether he is tall, short, fat or thin."
The housekeeper said, "That man is neither fat nor thin, he is shorter than you, young master, and his voice is rough. The rest, this old slave doesn't know."
Xu Yunchu asked, "What about the clothes? Even if you are wearing black clothes to cover your face, what kind of fabric is it? You have been the housekeeper of the head of the country for many years, and you are always careful, so it is not difficult to know."
The steward said, "That man is wearing ordinary linen, and the shoes on his feet are flat shoes that are commonly used in households, not boots worn by wealthy people. His hands are always in the sleeves. The old servant has seen him three times, but he has not seen his hands. The rest Yes, the old slave doesn't know."
"When did he first look for you?" Xu Yunchu asked again.
The steward said, "Young master was in Yanbei."
Xu Yunchu asked again, "What about the second and third time?"
The butler said, "The second time, Master invited Doctor Meng to visit the lady. The third time was the day before, when the lady came back from the plum blossom viewing in Xuemei Ridge in the suburbs."
Xu Yunchu said, "Where did you meet him?"
The butler said, "The first time was in my own room, the second and third time I was called to her room by the lady."
Xu Yunchu asked again, "Did he look for you first, or Xu Lingyi first?"
The housekeeper said, "It seems that the young lady was the first one to look for. It should be after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and after you went to Yanbei, young master, you looked for the young lady, and after that, you looked for me."
Xu Yunchu said, "Did he find other people in the mansion?"
The butler shook his head, "No more! In his opinion, the two of us are enough for the Master's Mansion."
Xu Yunchu said, "That's enough." Then he asked, "When does he come every time?"
The butler said, "The first time I came late at night, the second and third day were just at night." After finishing speaking, he said, "Otherwise, the old slave would not dare to enter Miss's yard when it was too late."
Xu Yunchu said again, "Although he speaks in a rough voice, he has an accent, but is it a Beijing accent?"
The butler was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the accent of the middle generation of Beijing."
Xu Yunchu finished asking what should be asked, and said to him, "Although I promised to give you a whole body, I didn't say I will give it to you now, you should live for a while." After saying that, he ordered to Fuying, "Take him to the dungeon. .”
Fu Ying replied yes, and escorted the housekeeper to the dungeon.
Seeing that the butler was taken away, the head of the state hated him so much that he asked Xu Yunchu, "You have asked so many questions, but do you know who is behind that?"
Xu Yunchu shook his head, and said to the father-in-law, "Although I don't know who it is, I know that it must be someone who was closely related to my mother and Concubine Yue. Starting tomorrow, my grandson will start to thoroughly investigate the affairs of their lives, and I must thoroughly investigate everything. Clearly, sooner or later we will know who it is."
