Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 298 A Strange Death (2)
"Is what girl Qing Ge said just now true? Master Zhu, do you have the contract signed between you and Qi's mother with you at this time? And shopkeeper Wan, what has Qi's mother pawned in your pawn shop all these years? Tell me clearly."

Both of them lowered their heads respectfully, and Zhu Xiao took the first to take out a piece of paper with handwriting on his body: "Returning to the old lady, this is the contract that the villain sold his yard to Mama Qi at that time. It is very clear that the villain’s house was voluntarily sold to Qi Chunmei in Qin Wu’s 17th year for 3000 taels of silver, and there is Qi’s mother’s autograph on it! Please take a look at it.”

Zhu Xiao lifted up a piece of paper in his hand and handed it to Si Yan who came forward, Si Yan turned around and handed it to the old lady, who read it carefully in her hand, her face was gone. In spite of the anger, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but it was this smile that made Qi's mother completely paralyzed on the ground after seeing it.

She knows the old lady too well, and she will turn back when she is extremely angry. She must be extremely angry at this time to show such a smile.

"Boss Wan, tell me what exactly Mama Qi has pawned in your pawn shop all these years?" Xia Qingge glanced at Mama Qi who was on the ground, and then looked at Wan Yunshan who was on the side.

"Miss Hui, Mama Qi has pawned a total of 180 things in this pawnshop over the years, among which are pearls, jadeite, agate, jade, porcelain, and high-quality colored glaze."

Xia Qingge nodded: "It seems that a lot of things in our warehouse should have been replaced now. Qi's mother's ability to guard herself is much better than that of Jiang Nanny in my yard. She has stolen twice in her life. It happened to be discovered by Mama Qi every time, is it a coincidence?" After she finished this sarcasm, all the servants outside the door more or less understood that it seemed that Jiang Mama stole the porcelain. Things are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface.

Qi's mother's eyes flickered for a moment, not daring to look at Xia Qingge's Shunzi, who smiled even deeper.

At this time, the old lady was full of anger at being betrayed by Qi's mother. She stared at Qi's mother: "Tell me, who is the instigator behind you?"

"Old madam, old slave—this old slave is really wronged. The eldest lady deliberately found someone to frame this old slave." At this time, Qi's mother still had the appearance of being beaten to death and refusing to admit it.

"Old Madam—Old Madam, please be kind!" At this moment, a man in his forties hurried in and knelt down beside Qi's mother: "Old Madam, this servant always speaks bluntly, and accidentally provokes you. It's common to get angry, and that day when Missy's nunnery stole something and you kicked her out of the mansion, Madam, it's reasonable for Missy to complain in her heart, and the slaves can understand it, but now It’s really unreasonable for the eldest lady to drag the two of them from the road to correct the slave. I beg the old lady to forgive the slave for the sake of the slave’s dedication to the Duke’s Mansion all these years!”

At this moment, the man kneeling on the ground is none other than Qi's mother's man, Zhang Dafu, the chief steward of the mansion.

"What's going on with this matter, I'll find out." The old lady's expression didn't ease at all at this time, even though Guanshi Zhang and Mother Qi tried their best to defend, but the veracity was already settled in her heart.

"Guan Zhang just came at the right time. Even if you don't come, I'm afraid I will send someone to invite you over later." Xia Qingge glanced at Zhang Dafu lightly, and then said: "What the second uncle said just now is good. How could the women in the inner courtyard have any relationship with Liu Wancai? I found this account here is evidence of the relationship between Zhang Guanshi and Liu Wancai. The investigation is very clear, if Guanshi Zhang is interested, why don't we invite the mother from Wanxiang Pavilion to come and tell me clearly and clearly?"

She was very glad that she asked Jing Ming to ask Wan Tianlin to help with this matter last night. What was even more surprising was that the Wantong pawnshop that Qi's mother often went to was also owned by Wanjia, and Wan Yunshan, who was standing here now, It is the housekeeper of Wanjia.

And what she asked Jing Hong to do was to find out who the former owner of the courtyard that Qi's mother bought was, so that even if Qi's mother was eloquent, she would never be able to defend herself.

Sure enough, Wan Tianlin did not disappoint her. Not only did he send Wan Yunshan to correct Qi's mother, but he also handed over to her the evidence letters and accounts of the collusion between Liu Wancai and Zhang Dafu over the years, and his intervention to help her. It is undoubtedly a timely rain.

Hearing Xia Qingge's words, Guanshi Zhang's expression changed greatly just now. His sallow complexion flashed with panic at this moment, and he glanced at Xia Ziheng who was sitting beside him. Sitting in place with an expression.

"Girl Qingge, take out that account. I have to investigate this matter thoroughly today. If the two of them really did the act of being a seller and begging for glory, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Mrs. Xia stared fixedly at Zhang Dafu and Mrs. Qi who were kneeling on the ground. At this moment, both of them seemed to know that they might not be able to escape this catastrophe. Mrs. Qi crawled towards Mrs. Xia first: "Old man People, this old slave is wrong, this old slave shouldn’t be greedy, but old lady, you have to trust this old slave, this old slave is absolutely loyal to you, this old slave just listened to Zhang Dafu’s deception, this old slave really just I have been greedy for a little money, and other things really have nothing to do with the old slave—woo——Old lady—you must trust the old slave.” Qi’s mother knelt beside Mrs. Xia, kowtowed continuously, and on her forehead She had already touched a blood-red mark, but in comparison, the fear of death made her panic even more.

"You—how can you say that?" Zhang Dafu seemed to never have thought that Qi's mother would betray him at such a critical moment, and ruthlessly pushed him out.

"What I said is true—it's you—it's you and—" Qi's mother raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Ziheng. , everyone unconsciously stretched out their hands to block their eyes, and within a few seconds, a very sharp dagger was shot at Qi's mother's forehead.

"Plop!" There was a sound of a heavy object falling, and everyone's heart visibly thumped, and then they looked towards the ground together, only to see that Qi's mother's face was blurred with blood at this time, and there was deep pain in her round eyes besides pain. In deep despair, she lay crookedly at Mrs. Xia's feet. There was silence in the room at this moment, as if everyone hadn't recovered. At this moment, Zhang Dafu, who was kneeling in the center, also fell to the ground with a plop. I don't know who it was: "Ah!" It was only then that everyone came back to their senses.

Xia Qingge looked indifferently at the three corpses that fell in front of him. Half an hour ago, these three people were still warm and soulful people, but at this moment, they were just corpses that could not rest in peace.
