Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 8
"Come on, go and catch the butler."

"Order."

The general gave an order, and several soldiers who accompanied him back from the battlefield acted quickly.

The butler was in his room in the front yard, packing up his belongings and preparing to leave.

He is cowardly, he wanted to run away since he knew the general was going home, but he was temporarily appeased by Da Cui.

Da Cui conspired with him to poison the general, but he didn't agree with it.Not with a good heart, but with no guts.

When the personal soldiers broke in, the butler was held down as soon as he put the burden on his back.

The butler was escorted to the courtyard.

He didn't know the situation at the moment, at first he thought that the matter with Da Cui was exposed, but seeing Da Cui standing behind the general in good condition, he was a little confused.

The soldiers handed the butler's baggage to the general: "The butler was about to go out when the subordinates left. This is his baggage."

The general tore away the bundle, revealing a pile of strings of money.

Da Cui winked frequently at the butler from behind, but unfortunately the butler lowered his head and didn't see it, which made Da Cui throw all his hatred and affection to the blind man.

The general asked, "Are you running away with money?"

"Misunderstanding, my lord." The housekeeper kowtowed again and again, but he didn't know where to excuse himself, and he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing soon.

The general threw the burden on the ground and glared at the butler.

"Tian Mo, you are the son of a family. Your father was loyal and good-natured all his life, so he released you from slavery and was promoted to be a housekeeper, but he didn't want you to steal from the master!"

The word "stolen" was like a brick falling from the sky and hit the butler on the head, making him dizzy for a while.

"My lord, my lord, my slave, my slave" the steward kowtowed and begged for mercy, and shouted out in a daze, "it's all the madam who seduced the slave, and the slave is bewitched by the madam."

The housekeeper yelled out what was in his heart in a moment of urgency, but it was unexpected by everyone in the courtyard.Everyone was too late to react and stood there in a daze.

Immediately, Cui Panpan endured the pain and laughed wildly in his heart, but looked at Da Cui with a sad expression on his face.She also didn't expect the truth to be yelled out of one of the parties so easily.

The general was the most surprised. He turned his head to look at Mrs. Da Cui with an unbelievable expression on his face, which made people more horrified than angry.

Da Cui took a few steps back under the general's gaze with a pale face, and her selfish nature broke out again under the panic, pointing at Cui Panpan and the housekeeper and shouting.

"You have heard what the concubine said. She is the one who has an affair with the concubine, not me. Hit, beat me, beat this concubine to death, and this concubine, kill this concubine." Beat the two sluts to death!"

However, no one in the courtyard listened to her, not even the servants around her dared to move.

The housekeeper knew that Da Cui was a cruel person, so he hurriedly climbed to the general's feet, kowtowed and cried: "My lord, I made a mistake. I shouldn't be fooled by my wife. I beg my lord to look after my father."

How could the general hear the housekeeper's begging for mercy, but he just looked around at everyone present with a livid face, and his gaze swept across the faces of Da Cui, Cui Panpan, the housekeeper and all the servants, and finally fell on Da Cui's faceless face. Bloody face.

The general laughed back angrily.

Afterwards, the entire Tianfu was in a state of chaos, and all the servants in the family were taken down by the soldiers, and no one escaped interrogation.Among them, the housekeeper and the servants around Da Cui were the focus of the interrogation.

In this way, no scandal can be hidden, and the truth will be revealed.

Cui Panpan and Chun'er seemed to have been forgotten, they were the only two left in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

The general glanced at them silently when he left, but at that time he was upset, he only wanted to find out the truth, and he no longer cared about Cui Panpan's master and servant.

Cui Panpan's master and servant helped each other back to the bedroom, and then gave each other medicine.

Unlike Cui Panpan's composure, Chun'er was still a little at a loss.

"Lady, what's going on now? Did the general let us go?"

Cui Panpan asked Chun'er to bring the pastries to fill his stomach, and comforted Chun'er while eating: "The general has brought his own soldiers to investigate the truth, and he will soon understand that I did not harm him, but saved him."

Chun'er leaned on the side of the couch in a daze, Cui Panpan handed her the cake, and she obediently ate it.

Although Chun'er doesn't look very smart, Cui Panpan is very satisfied with her loyalty.

When the master and servant were beaten just now, Cui Panpan was really worried that Chun'er couldn't bear it and told the truth, but fortunately Chun'er persisted.

Cui Panpan secretly thought about what to do next.

The cowardly attitude of the butler probably will be fully recruited after a few boards.Even if Da Cui wanted to deny it, the servants around her would not be able to bear to betray her.

It is a foregone conclusion that the scandal between Da Cui and the housekeeper will be exposed.

The problem was last night's poisoned booze.

All the wine was spilled by Mrs. Cui, and now there is no physical evidence to prove that the wine was poisonous, only witnesses left.

Has Da Cui discussed it with the housekeeper?If there is, it will most likely be explained by the housekeeper.If not, Cui Panpan will have to consider how to let the general know about it.

Things have progressed to this point, there is no need for Cui Panpan to keep secrets for Da Cui.

In the story of Lord Zhou’s loyal concubine, the concubine committed suicide after the death of the main wife, and Cui Panpan considered whether he should do that too.

This waited for a whole day, during which there was not even a food delivery person. Fortunately, Chun'er brought a lot of pastries from the kitchen in the morning, and they were shared between the master and the servant.

The silver charcoal in the charcoal basin had already been burnt out, and Chun'er didn't dare to go out to ask for more.

Cui Panpan dragged Chun'er to the couch, the master and the servant didn't care about the injuries on their backs, they wrapped themselves in quilts and lay down together.

it's getting dark.

Chun'er got off the couch trembling, carefully put on her cloak and went out.After a while, he entered the house with a lighted oil lamp.

Chun'er climbed onto the couch again, and soon fell asleep with a slight snoring sound.

Cui Panpan hugged the quilt and lay on the couch, staring at the bronze lamp in a daze.

Although I already know that I have traveled in an era similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, I still have the illusion of not knowing where I am when I see the bronze lamp with my own eyes.

The archaeologists do not deceive me, the bronze lamps are really colorful.

This is a bronze lamp with a bird handle, and the handle is a colorful magpie. The exquisite workmanship makes Cui Panpan dumbfounded.

In a trance, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside the house, which was very obvious in the quiet night.

Cui Panpan immediately became alert and quickly woke up Chun'er.

Many people came, but only one person entered the house.The person who entered the room called out at the door, and got Cui Panpan's permission before pushing the door open and entering the room.

The person who entered the room was Tian Meng, the captain of the general's personal army, who was also the one who led people to arrest the housekeeper during the day.

Cui Panpan glanced at the door subconsciously, guessing that the general might be outside.

The general was indeed in the courtyard outside the house, and he was accompanied by several personal soldiers.I don't know if he doesn't want to see Cui Panpan or dare not.

The sound insulation effect of houses in this era is extremely poor, and the voices in the house can be heard from the courtyard.

"Xiao Cui, the general asked me to ask you a few words, I hope you will stop messing around and answer truthfully."

"I want to ask one thing first, is it possible?"

"What's the matter?"

"How is the lady?"

"The lady is dead, and the housekeeper is gone."

Cui Panpan lowered his head, tears slid down to the ground.After that, he raised his head again. Although his eyes were red and swollen, his eyes were much calmer.

"This is the end of the matter, I don't need to hide it anymore, what does the general want to know?"

"The general asked, why did you pour wine last night?"

"There is poison in the wine. I don't want to do unrighteous things, and I can't bear to kill the general."

"General, ask again, why is Ziwu having an affair with housekeeper Tian Mo?"

"If the concubine dies, I will die. I am afraid that the thief will do bad things to the general. I would rather die with him."

"The general asked three times, why didn't you tell the general directly about the wife and the housekeeper?"

"Madam is the mistress of the family, and she told her that it was infidelity, and my concubine does not want to commit infidelity."

"The general asks you, have you ever regretted being punished for nothing?"

"I don't regret it," Cui Panpan suddenly got up and bowed down to Tian Meng, "I beg the sergeant to bring a message to the general for my concubine. After the mistress is gone, I beg to be buried with her. I beg the general to grant my concubine a life of loyalty."

Tian Meng turned around and left, telling the general what Cui Panpan said truthfully.

The general listened to Cui Panpan's answer, his face was calm and no emotion could be seen.After standing in Cui Panpan's yard for a while, he led everyone away.

After a while, some soldiers came over with food.

Cui Panpan and Chun'er's master and servant finally had a meal, but they didn't know what to eat.

Funerals seem to be very common in ancient times. The general wouldn't really agree to let her be buried with Da Cui, would he?Cui Panpan regretted adopting the idea that he came up with on the spur of the moment.
