The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 507 Double Ninth Day [Six]

At first, Mrs. Mei also thought that Mrs. Mei had listened to her grandson's plan, so in order to protect the Mei family, she committed suicide by taking poison.

But soon she found that apart from the bowl of soup, there was also a piece missing from the mung bean cake and pumpkin cake on the table.

It can't be that the old lady didn't want to be a starving ghost, and she ate two pieces of pastry before taking poison to kill herself, right?
So there is only one truth.

That is, the old lady didn't hear the quarrel between the daughter-in-law and the grandson at all. She just woke up and felt hungry. When she got up to eat, she also drank the bowl of medicinal soup, but she never thought that it was mixed with poison.

After thinking this through, Mrs. Mei's mood became more and more chaotic. To her, the whole incident was like an absurd nightmare from which she could never wake up!

First, the pillar of the family was sent to Zhao Prison, and then the son was imprisoned in the woodshed by himself, and now the old lady has become an unjust dead ghost in a daze...

For a moment, Mrs. Mei really didn't know how to face all this.

But at least she understood that although the old lady still died by accident, her son's messy plan could never be carried out!

Because once things get serious, there will be no way to escape the autopsy. At that time, the real cause of the old lady's death will be revealed to the world. Not only will the goal of rescuing her husband not be achieved, but her son's life will be lost in vain.

Therefore, Mabelson's self-righteous plan was a dead end from the beginning.

If the poisonous killing was changed to intentionally make the old lady die of a serious illness, maybe it can be concealed from the sky...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Mei suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly said to the mother-in-law who was dying on the bed, "Don't blame it, don't blame it, my daughter-in-law has absolutely no intention of harming your old man!"

Granny Mei's body naturally wouldn't react in the slightest.

But Mrs. Mei still felt a little uneasy, so she walked outside quickly, hesitated for a while, and then raised her voice to order the maid outside the door to find the housekeeper.

Not long after the housekeeper arrived, Mrs. Mei wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "It's true that misfortunes never come singly. The master is in prison, and Bao Sen... Now even the old lady is traveling westward."

"what?!"

The butler was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "How did the old lady die?"

"This……"

Mrs. Mei pretended to be hesitant, and then pressed her voice for a long while and said: "The old lady was frightened early in the morning, just now Baosen went crazy and told the old lady about the master's imprisonment, old lady If you can't accept it for a while, then..."

As he spoke, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"How could this be?!"

The housekeeper was still extremely shocked, but his eyes showed suspicion.

As soon as the master was imprisoned, the young master suddenly lost his mind and was locked in the woodshed by his wife. How could he, as a housekeeper, not care?

In fact, before Mrs. Mei heard about him, he was knocking around in the woodshed, asking what happened to the young master.

Although I haven't had time to ask clearly, the young master's speech and behavior are obviously not like someone who has lost his mind - after all, the housekeeper has little experience, and he doesn't know that people who seem to be sober are often the most insane.

"Although Baosen didn't do it on purpose, let's see if it gets out..."

Mrs. Mei didn't know that he was suspicious, and still sighed according to the script she had prepared: "So what I mean is, don't make a fuss about the old lady's affairs—fortunately, the coffin has already been prepared. Let's close the door and mourn quietly."

"This……"

The housekeeper showed embarrassment: "I will find out when the master comes back, but I'm afraid..."

Even though Mei Hanlin's character was flawed in every way, he couldn't find any flaws along the way of filial piety. If he knew that his mother's funeral was so hasty, he would definitely be furious.

Mrs. Mei said resolutely: "Even if the master knows, he won't say anything. It's better to mourn in a low-key manner than to let Baosen be charged with killing his grandmother, right?"

The butler had no choice but to obediently agree, but the doubts in his heart were even stronger. The old lady would die. Even if the young master was not careful, the greater responsibility was obviously on the thieves who harassed her in the morning and the dragon guard who came to arrest her.

But from what my wife said, it seems that the young master is fully responsible?
Because of these doubts, after he assigned the manpower to handle the funeral, he did not rush back to report to Mrs. Mei, but went directly to the firewood room where Mei Baosen was imprisoned.

After hesitating in front of the door for a while, he finally couldn't hold back and pushed the door open and walked in.

Although Mrs. Mei's order was to tie up and gag Mei Baosen, but after all, Mei Baosen is the only heir of the Mei family, and he is a treasure that the old lady keeps in her mouth for fear of melting. Strapped to a woodshed for the night?
Therefore, instead of being tied up, they brought tables, chairs, benches and beds, served them with delicious food and drink, but just stopped them from going out.

Seeing the housekeeper go and come back, Mei Baosen quickly got up and asked, "Uncle Li, why did my mother ask you to go there?"

After gradually calming down, he couldn't help but start to get scared, for fear that his mother would make his mad rebellion known to the public in a fit of anger.

See Mei Baosen looking at himself eagerly.

The butler waved his hand and signaled the servants who were serving next to him to leave, and when there were only two masters and servants left in the room, he bowed and said, "My condolences to the young master, the old lady has gone."

"what?!"

Mei Baosen was taken aback at first, but soon after thinking that his mother had imprisoned him, he acted on his behalf, so he became excited again, thinking that his mother really still loves him!
He rubbed his hands, trying not to ask details, but inquired: "Did my mother tell you to report to the police? Or pass the news to father's classmates and friends?"

Regarding Meibaosen's unconcealed joy, the butler was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. Although he faintly sensed that there must be a big secret in it, he didn't dare to ask random questions, and just answered honestly: "Madam said, Mr. The reason why my wife passed away at this time is because you told her about the master's imprisonment in front of her old man—for the sake of your reputation, let the funeral be done quietly, so as not to make it public."

"what?!"

Mabelson was shocked again, thinking that this was completely opposite to his plan!

But since my mother killed the old lady for herself, why did she still fight against herself?
What's the point?
Mabelson was not smart at all, otherwise he would not have come up with such a stupid idea, so he was puzzled by his mother's behavior.

In the end, he bit down and said: "Don't worry about it, if you don't make this matter a big deal as soon as possible, when the master is beaten into a trick in prison, our Mei family will be ruined!"

As he said that, he pulled Steward Li's sleeve and said, "Uncle Li, hurry up and prepare a carriage, I'm going to Shuntian Mansion... No, I'm going to Dali Temple to report the crime!"

"This……"

As soon as the housekeeper hesitated, Mei Baosen turned down his face and said: "If the Mei family collapses, can you have a good end?!"

"This...young master."

The housekeeper said worriedly: "Who in the house doesn't know about Madam locking you up in the woodshed? If you really go to prepare the carriage with great fanfare, I'm afraid Madam will find out before you go out."

"Then what do you say?"

Mei Baosen let go of his sleeves, he turned around like an ant in a hot pot, passed by the table, kicked the chair down violently, and said through gritted teeth: "Then quietly prepare a ladder, and I will climb over the wall and go out to complete the assembly by myself." Right?!"

…………

at the same time.

Ni Er, who was dressed in earth gray clothes, carried a few oiled paper bags and walked quickly into the narrow alley next to Mei Mansion after seeing that there was no one around.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

Two strong men rushed up immediately.

Ni Erchong and the two nodded, then knelt down and spread out some of the oil paper wraps on the ground, revealing the sauced meat, biscuits and other things inside: "I bought random ones nearby, and the brothers first got together to fill their stomachs. When things are done, there will naturally be good wine and food waiting for us!"

The two men also squatted down one after another, grabbed them and ate them. Since they didn't dare to drink, they filled their water bags from time to time.

Ni Er accompanied them to gossip a few words, and then urged them to keep an eye on the Mei Mansion, and report immediately if there was any trouble, and then prepared to leave with the rest of the oil paper bag - he set up a total of three people around the Mei Mansion. There are two sentry posts, and now there are two sentry posts, and we have to deliver food to the last one.

"Big brother."

At this time, one of the strong men stopped him, and said hesitantly: "I, I don't want a big reward, can you send my kid to engineering school? Even if it's a school boy for our nephew!"

"When I report the matter, let me ask for you. It shouldn't be a big problem."

As Ni Er said, he patted this little brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Among us brothers, you are the most discerning - this engineering study was started by the emperor himself. When the boys come out of the engineering school, then You can also be regarded as a disciple of the Son of Heaven!"

The younger brother scratched his head and smiled innocently: "It's not that the brothers have poor eyesight, it's that there are not many such young men who have begged their wives."

Ni Er laughed, waved at him, turned his head and walked out.

Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, he was suddenly grabbed by that little brother again.

Ni Er was a little unhappy now, and was about to ask the other party if he had any other requests, but saw the younger brother made a silent gesture with a vigilant expression, and then pointed at the courtyard wall beside him.

Ni Er immediately quieted down and listened attentively.

But he heard the faint voice of talking from inside the courtyard wall, and then a section of ladder protruded from the top of the wall.

Ni Er hurriedly made a gesture, and the two brothers quickly put away the oiled paper bag on the ground, and then the three of them leaned against the wall and hid in the dark to observe.

Not long after, a figure appeared on the wall, and this person was undoubtedly Mabelson.

He glanced down, but didn't see Ni Er and the others, and muttered, "Why are you so tall?"

Then it was time to move the ladder from the yard to the outside.

But he doesn't work his limbs and doesn't distinguish grains, so how can he have the strength to drag the ladder up?

Not even with the help of a housekeeper.

In the end, Mabelson had to hold the tiles with his hands, and carefully turned his buttocks and slipped down.

Seeing this, the two strong men looked at Ni Er together.

Ni Er stared at the fine silk material on Mei Baosen's body and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and signaled to do it, and then the three of them quietly moved forward and surrounded Mei Baosen in the middle.

Mabaosen kicked with two legs, but he couldn't reach the bottom, so he had to grit his teeth and let go and fell down.

As a result, both feet landed on the ground and his footing was unstable. He staggered and saw that he was about to fall backwards. Suddenly, his left and right stretched out a hand to support him firmly.

Mei Baosen heaved a sigh of relief in shock, and was about to thank the people beside him, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, but when he wanted to speak, his mouth was covered by someone, and at the same time, a gloomy voice came from his ear: " Don't move, I will kill you if you move!"

Mei Baosen immediately froze on the spot, allowing Ni Er and the others to tie his hands behind his back, gag his mouth with oiled paper, wrap his coat around his eyes, and push him to a secluded place.

"Where are you stupid thief!"

Mei Baosen was panicking, and didn't know what kind of hands he had fallen into, so he heard someone shouting in a vicious voice: "Come to our land to ask for a living, and you don't even say hello to your third master first, you are too crazy!" some!"

If he was vigilant, he would probably have heard something was wrong at this time. After all, Maboson's outfit didn't look like a snitch.

But Mei Baosen owed the IQ first, and was frightened again. He didn't doubt the other party's identity at all. As soon as the oil paper bag was torn from his mouth, he hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I am the Mei family. My young master, no, not some stupid thief!"

In fact, Ni Er had already guessed his identity, if not, he would not have chosen to startle the snake.

But he did pretend to be disdainful and spat: "Damn! Your mother has seen the young master who climbed the wall in the middle of the night? Don't be silly with me. If you are really the young master of the Mei family, what do you want to go out in the middle of the night?"

Before Meibaosen could speak, he added: "I've heard about Mei Hanlin's imprisonment. How dare you talk about gambling, eating, drinking, and shopping in brothels—— Sixth, get things ready first." !"

"okay!"

The well-educated man who was going to send his son there immediately pulled out the dagger, then pinched Mabosen's little finger, rubbed it lightly and said, "Boy, you must think it through before you talk, otherwise What parts are missing from this body, but no one else can blame it.”

Another strong man joked with a rough voice: "Fingers are not easy to cut. In my opinion, it's better to greet the crotch. That thing has no bones, so save effort!"

Mei Baosen felt the coldness coming from his little finger, and heard that he was going to greet him in three directions. At that time, a hot current rushed out and spread quickly along the legs of his trousers.

At the same time, he yelled out: "Heroic man, spare your life, heroic man, spare your life, I am going to report to the authorities!"

"You want to report to the police?"

Ni Er's voice suddenly rose.

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with the heroes. It was my grandmother who was killed, so I rushed to the Yamen to report to the officials!"

The old lady of the Mei family is dead?
Ni Er frowned, and bribed the doctor to inquire about the news, but he went to do it himself. At that time, the doctor clearly said that the old lady of the Mei family was very good-looking, so why did she die in less than a day?

"nonsense!"

He pretended to be angry and said: "To report to the police, you still have to climb out of the house? Do you think we are three-year-old children? Sixth, give him some color..."

"Etc., etc!"

Mei Baosen was crying: "My mother refused to let me go, it was my mother who refused to let me go! I was going to go by car, but the housekeeper insisted that my mother would know... You, if you don't believe me, you can ask him! "

"Can I ask him?"

Ni Er's hearing became more and more unclear. So, the old lady of the Mei family died, and the grandson wanted to report to the government, but the daughter-in-law stopped him instead. What's the trick in this?
But when asked further, Mabelson still knew that there were some things that he must never say. He kept saying over and over again that it was his mother who refused to let him, and why he refused to let him but never mentioned it. Instead, he kept saying that he would redeem himself with money.

Without Mr. Jiao's order, Ni Er didn't dare to be cruel to Mei Baosen, so he had no choice but to ask his brothers to take care of him for the time being, while he whipped his horse and went straight to Rongguo Mansion to report the news.
