The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 158 Chaotic Night [Part [-]]

But he said that Xiuju returned home with the silver in his hands, and told the cause and effect, and as expected, Yingchun was annoyed.

"How can you be so aggressive?!"

Then Yingchun stomped her feet and complained: "After all, the status has not been determined, it's nothing for you to beg him for a few words, but why did you accept his money? If this gets out, how can I live?!"

Xiuju murmured: "It's my uncle..."

"What uncle?!"

"Uncle Jiao insisted on forcing it on me, what can I do?"

"He gave it to you, so you took it?"

"Otherwise what else can you get?"

"You just pay him back!"

"Why is Uncle Jiao willing to ask for it?"

"He doesn't want it, but you want it?"

Yingchun has always been a temperless person, but now she is rarely aggressive. At first, Xiuju was a little apprehensive, but after a few quarrels, she became angry.

He thought to himself that he was also solving problems for the girl, so he went to the door regardless of decency, but now she has complained all the way, isn't this good intentions being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs?
So she put the gold and silver on the dressing table with a 'clang', and retorted with a pout: "There is no name or surname written on this silver. We used the scattered flowers, and just said it was saved earlier. Who is in the way of liver pain?!"

After a pause, she asked again: "Young lady doesn't want to tear her face apart, and she also refuses to use the money that Gu... Uncle Jiao gave, is she going to endure it like this?!"

Unexpectedly, Yingchun nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with being patient."

She sent Xiuju there to find out Jiao Shun's intentions, now that she has received the reward, she only hopes to get out as soon as possible, and has nothing else to ask for.

With that said, Jia Yingchun stretched out her hands to hold up the gold and silver, handed them to Xiuju and said, "It's better to return the silver quickly."

After thinking for a while, he confessed: "Be sure to tell Uncle Jiao, don't let him have any misunderstandings."

Xiu Ju looked at the silver in embarrassment, and was hesitating whether to take it or not, when Si Qi suddenly stepped forward and snatched it, and said decisively: "No need to return it! Since the girl refuses to use it, let me spend it! What happens in the end, I am the only one who will take care of it.”

Saying that, without giving Yingchun a chance to refute, she went outside with the silver.

"you……"

Yingchun took two steps forward, then pointed outside and said to Xiuju, "How dare she..."

Halfway through, she suddenly lowered her arms and said dejectedly: "Come on, she can take it if she wants to. I just pretend I've never seen these pickles before!"

This is actually acquiescing to Siqi's practice, and cut off with her in advance.

Xiuju flattened her mouth when she heard this, and followed out silently, showing her attitude with actions.

This is Jia Yingchun, and if the young lady next to her is replaced, she might shout "reverse, rebellious" at this time, and set a strict rule for the two of them.

But Yingchun didn't bother to think about it, and turned out the Taishang Induction chapter on her own, saying, "There is no way to misfortune, but people call on themselves; good and evil are repaid like shadows", but Jiao Shun's images are all in his head, For a moment, someone in Jiao's imagination became his future blessing.

…………

"Ah!"

Jiao Shun was rushing home covering the inner wall when suddenly his nose moved and he sneezed loudly.

He rubbed his nose and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who was thinking about him, so he brazenly gave himself the title of "Public Lover", and Shi Shiran returned home.

Because it was the seventh day, Jiao Shun wanted to take Xiang Ling and Yu Chuan'er to wash and rest early.

Who would have thought that just after spelling the word "Chuan" on the bed, they could hear the sound of gongs in the distance.

Jiao Shun stood up with a frown, and listened intently for a moment. He could tell that the noise was coming from another courtyard, and wondered to himself, could it be that the other courtyard had recruited thieves, or was the water gone?

The former is fine, if the latter...

Thinking of this, he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, intending to go to check out—of course, it was just to check out from a distance, after all, he didn't have the consciousness to risk his life to protect the property of Rongguo Mansion.

When they got outside, they saw Laiwang and his wife were already poking around at the gate of the courtyard.

"Father, mother."

Jiao Shun stepped forward to say hello, and tiptoed to look inside the inner wall, and saw that although half of the sky was glowing red inside, it didn't look like there was water, but more like a lot of torches were lit.

It really is a thief!

Jiao Shun came to a conclusion, and turned around to discuss with his own father.

Considering this matter, even if he doesn't alarm Uncle Jiao, he must inform the chief manager. Instead of waiting for someone to come here, it is better to go around to the front yard to find out the news. If there is a risk, naturally they can only stay in the front yard and 'make decisions'.

Laiwang originally wanted to go by himself.

But Jiao Shun was really worried, so he walked around to the front yard with him.

When I found the main entrance of the other courtyard, there were already many stewards and long-term attendants guarding here, and Laiwang called the familiar ones to ask carefully, and only then did I understand what was going on.

But it turned out that there was not a thief inside, but a craftsman named "Wooden Man Zhang", who tried to escape by climbing over the wall in the dark, but was bumped into by the night watchman, who questioned him because he was behaving suspiciously. After a few words, who would have thought that the wooden man Zhang would move his weapon and stab the steward who was watching the night on the spot.

Hearing this, Jiao Shun interjected and asked, "The wooden figurine Zhang is from the civil engineering team?"

"It's from the engraving team."

Engraving group...

Maybe some precious wood was stolen, or some treasure was found in the stone - many of the old stones in Rongguo Mansion were transported from southern Yunnan, and if they were not in order, they would be a piece of rough jadeite. Woolen cloth.

Since he was just a scab and not a robber with open flames, Jiao Shun and his son asked that there were no serious managers in charge of other courtyards, so they selected a few big-bodied ones, and rushed inside.

Far away from the work shed where the accident happened, I heard someone scolding in a crying voice: "Let go of me, let me go quickly! If I don't go back, my mother-in-law and aunt will die!"

What's the fuss about?
Jiao Shun exchanged glances with his old man before walking into the brightly lit work shed.

Seeing that the inside and outside of the house were surrounded by three floors, the left and right attendants were smart, so they yelled at the back: "Uncle Jiao and the chief manager have arrived!"

Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads in unison, seeing that it was indeed Jiao Shun and his son who had arrived, they hurriedly pushed and shoved to make way for a passage.

Even though the wooden man Zhang was bound by five flowers just now, he curled up on the ground and struggled endlessly, but when he heard that Uncle Jiao had arrived, he suddenly became quiet, and he didn't even dare to lift his head again.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun became even more surprised, and leaned down slightly and asked, "Just now you shouted to save your mother-in-law, but you didn't know what happened? Could it be that your daughter-in-law is seriously ill and left unattended? If there is something wrong Hidden information, you just say it, and I will make the decision for you!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing Jiao Shun's question, the wooden man Zhang stuck his head in his arms desperately.

A craftsman who was familiar with him next to him jokingly shouted: "My lord, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. Where did he get a wife when he is a bachelor? I think he probably takes the lump of wood as his wife!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and several people spoke up to testify one after another, proving that the wooden man Zhang, a bachelor, had never married a wife.

Could it be that he wants his wife crazy?
But if he was really crazy, why did he suddenly become silent when he heard that he was coming, with another look of panic?

Because Jiao Shun was suspicious, he clicked on the one that was given, and asked the whole story of the matter.

But it turned out that the wooden man Zhang was hired to repair the garden three days ago, he had already signed the contract, but he heard that he would live and eat in the Rongguo Mansion, so he went crazy and wanted to leave.

Ask him what's going on at home, but he won't reveal anything, just being rude.

However, Jia Qin, who was in charge of the carver, was also kind-hearted and dark-faced. Seeing that the wooden man was making a lot of trouble, he whipped him on the spot and set him up as a model, saying that only when everyone went back would he be able to do so. It's his turn!

The wooden man Zhang has been honest for two days. He didn't want to make a scene again tonight, and stabbed the steward who watched the night.

"Who is watching the night today?"

Hearing this person mention the stabbed steward, Jiao Shun remembered to express condolences to the wounded.

"It's the new Manager Wu."

Immediately someone beside him pointed to the corner and said, "It wasn't his turn to be on duty, but today he was replaced for some reason, and this unlucky thing happened."

When the servants and craftsmen in one direction dispersed, they saw a man with an obscene appearance, hugging his thigh and moaning in the corner.

Jiao Shun was about to step forward to ask a few words, but when he didn't want to, he heard a woman crying outside: "Brother, brother, where are you?!"

The wretched man regained his energy immediately, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Sister, I'm here, I'm here!"

Yingsheng actually broke into a woman from outside, but it was Qingwen, Baoyu's favored maidservant.

In this way, the so-called Guanshi Wu should be her cousin Wu Gui.

But isn't this Wu Gui working as a clerk in Tian Xingjian's shop?

"Uncle Jiao, come to the manager."

Just when she was puzzled, Qingwen also saw Jiao Shun and Laiwang, saluted in a hurry, and threw herself in front of Wu Gui, looking up and down with concern: "Brother, where are you hurt?!"

Wu Gui almost burst into tears, sobbing, "I, I was stabbed in the leg by him."

Qingwen hurriedly checked the wound on his leg.

Jiao Shun also leaned over to have a look, and saw that although the wound was deep but not that big, he asked the servant who was standing by: "Have you ever sent someone to call for a doctor?"

"Sent, sent, but it's the middle of the night, I'm afraid it will take a while before I can invite you."

"That's good."

Jiao Shun nodded, and was planning to leave Wu Gui to Qingwen's care, and then ask the wooden man Zhang a few words.

I don't want to rush in a few people from outside again, and Baoyu and Xiren are the first ones.

Baoyu only had Qingwen in his eyes, until he confirmed that she was fine, then he found that Jiao Shun was also there, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Why is Uncle Jiao here?"

Jiao Shun said righteously: "I just lay down at home, and I heard that there is a lot of trouble here, so I naturally want to come and have a look."

Baoyu bent her waist a few more times when she heard the words, and was about to say some words of gratitude when Qingwen turned her head to look at the wooden man Zhang, gritted her teeth and shouted: "What are you waiting for the murderer to keep? Why don't you send it to me quickly?" Shuntian Mansion strictly enforces it!"

"exactly!"

Baoyu didn't care about other things immediately, and echoed repeatedly: "Since you stabbed someone, you should send it to Shuntian Mansion for strict punishment!"

Of course Qingwen's words didn't count, but as soon as the darling of the family spoke, five or six people immediately rushed forward, and hurriedly lifted the wooden figurine Zhang out and walked away.

"and many more!"

Jiao Shun quickly stopped them, and said in a deep voice: "I always feel that something is wrong with his reaction just now, you might as well take him home first, and see what's strange about his house."

Those people peeked at Baoyu and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so they responded unevenly.

Wait for this group of people to go in a hurry.

Someone outside came back to report again. It turned out that the person who sent the report to Wu's house was shut down and almost knocked on the gate of his house, but no one responded. Obviously Wu Gui's daughter-in-law, many young girls, was not at home.

After hearing this, Qingwen's lungs almost exploded.

Especially when she saw people around who were gloating and mocking, she felt even more ashamed, so she stood up and stomped her feet and said, "Where can she go at this time? Please assign me a few people, I will dig the ground three feet She's here!"

Baoyu has always favored her, not to mention that since Wu Gui was injured on duty, it was justified to find his wife earlier, so he selected a few servants at random, and handed over the servants who came with him to Qingwen.

Qingwen asked Xiren to help her take care of her brother, and then led him out of the house with a murderous look.

Looking at that posture, it is obvious that finding someone is fake, but catching rape is real!

Jiao Shun didn't care about these bad things—as long as he wasn't the one who was caught—he simply explained it, and then took Baoyu to report to Jia Zheng.

When he arrived at Jia Zheng's house, and when he got up from Aunt Zhao's bed, Jiao Shun just started talking, when he didn't want to, he heard another commotion outside, as if someone came to report the news.

Called in to ask, but for some reason, Lian's second master had a conflict with Qingwen.

As soon as Jia Zheng heard the name, he thought of the seductive maid whom he had seen a few days ago, and said with a cold face: "You are such a good maid, you are now arguing with the master!"

Baoyu seemed like a scared quail, and wanted to defend Qingwen a few words, saying that she was not such a person—but considering that she often contradicted herself on weekdays, she couldn't say this.

Jia Zheng became more and more annoyed when he saw that he was obsequious and hesitant to talk, and called Jin Chuan'er to tell him, "Go, call me Brother Lian and Qingwen, who's name is Qingwen, I'd rather Look at how arrogant this Diao girl is!"

Then, taking advantage of the situation, he scolded Baoyu a few more words, and then asked Jiao Shun what happened.

Jiao Shun hurriedly told Jia Zheng what he had just heard, and finally added: "My nephew saw that the craftsman was really suspicious, and kept clamoring to go home, so he ordered someone to arrest him first. Go back and see what's strange about his house."

"My nephew is really as careful as a hair."

Jia Zheng casually praised Jiao Shun, and was about to inquire about the condition of the wounded, when someone rushed in to report, saying that someone who had gone to Muren Zhang's house sent a letter and found a man tied up in the cellar of his house. woman!

What is even more unbelievable is that this woman is actually a 'lost' smart child in Shuiyue Nunnery!
"what?!"

Baoyu exclaimed suddenly, and blurted out: "How could she be in a craftsman's house?!"

Seeing Jia Zheng's displeased eyes, Baoyu hastily explained: "That Zhizhi'er often came to our house with her master when she was young, so she is no stranger to her son."

As he said that, he actually became sad, not because of Zhizhi'er, but thinking of Qin Zhong who died of illness—it was not because Zhizhi'er came to the door and angered Qin Zhong's father to death, Qin Zhong would not have been ill Sorry to die.

Although Jia Zheng didn't know what was going on in Baoyu's mind, but when he saw his distraught posture, and then looked at Jiao Shun next to him, who was calm and thoughtful, the thoughts that came to him before surfaced again.

Before I left Beijing, I really should entrust Baoyu to Brother Shun to discipline me!

The night is getting darker.

Rongguo Mansion is getting more and more lively...
