Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 124 Maintenance
"Little lady is familiar with Feng Butou from Jinan?"

"Extremely familiar. Brother Feng has always taken care of him. I don't know what to call this head arrester? When I return to Jinan, I will definitely mention to Brother Feng that the two head arresters are impartially enforcing the law today."

"Don't dare to dare," the head catcher cupped his hands, but said with a smile: "My surname is Wu, the young lady only said that Wu San greeted catcher Feng and said hello..."

The shopkeeper Huang on one side jumped anxiously, but was slapped aside by Wu Tuntou.

Seeing that shopkeeper Huang was taken away, Gu Sixiao was relieved.

Steward Zhang squeezed over from the crowd, patted his chest and said: "It's really dangerous. Fortunately, there is someone for the young lady. Otherwise, if she is really taken into the yamen, I'm afraid that someone surnamed Huang will bite her indiscriminately. Even if the villain gave it to the Two quick bucks won't work either."

Nodding her head, Gu Sixiao didn't dare to stay longer, "I'll leave now, shopkeeper Huang has done nothing wrong, and he will be released soon after entering the yamen. I have to take advantage of his lack of arrangements at this moment, so I can act .”

Not much else to say, Gu Sixiao got into the car and headed straight to Jinan, and didn't stop for dinner.

At nightfall, when passing through another small town, Gu Sixiao wanted to go again, but the driver quit.

"Little lady, if you go any further, there will be no place to rest your feet. If you live in the wilderness and encounter bandits, I'll be a man, but what can you two girls do? I think it's better to stay here." Let's rest in town!"

Although he was anxious and knew what the coachman said was right, Gu Sixiao had no choice but to stay in the small town to rest, but he didn't sleep well all night, and at dawn he called everyone to rush on the road.

Hurry up slowly, and finally arrived at Jinan Mansion in the afternoon.They lined up at the gate of the city to enter the city, and when they turned their eyes, they saw a fast horse galloping from the official road.

With her eyes fixed, Gu Sixiao was taken aback.

Why was Shopkeeper Huang released? !
It seemed that he hadn't slept all night. The shopkeeper Huang was in a state of distress, his eyes were bloodshot, he stopped his horse, and looked over coldly, his face was ferocious, and the fierce eyes seemed to swallow Gu Sixiao alive.

Xiaodie trembled with fright, but Gu Sixiao was extremely calm.

"I've already arrived in Jinan Mansion. I'll have to see what tricks he can do."

Shopkeeper Huang's horse was fast, and when Gu Sixiao and others arrived at the shop, they saw the horse at the door.

Gu Sixiao was not nervous, got out of the car and went straight into the lobby.

"Ah, Miss Gu is back..." The waiters in the hall greeted one after another.

Gu Sixiao nodded with a smile and responded one by one, and then asked: "Is the shopkeeper Huang from Qingshui County here?"

"Well, I just saw him dragging Guanshi Li to the back."

To plot?

Gu Sixiao sneered and went upstairs directly.

Xiaoyu from the elegant room greeted her, "Miss Gu, the young master has not come back after going out to meet guests! Look, why don't you sit in the elegant room first."

Nodding in agreement, Gu Sixiao entered the elegant room, drank tea and ate snacks, but was also leisurely.

After a while, her head twitched little by little.

Xiaoyu turned her head to see her gradually slipping down the table and fell on the couch, and hurriedly called her: "Little lady, little lady..."

After calling several times, but getting no response, she let out a sigh of relief, turned around and went to look through Gu Sixiao's bag.

When Xiaoyu was flipping through the bag, Gu Sixiao slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xiaoyu's back quietly. It was not until Xiaoyu flipped through it that she suddenly said, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

Startled, Xiaoyu turned around abruptly, still patting her mouth, "Little lady, aren't you asleep?"

"I didn't drink this tea at all, so how could I fall asleep?" Gu Sixiao sneered, picked up the teapot, and tried it with his hands.

"I just went upstairs, and you invited me in for tea, and the temperature of the tea is just right enough for you to drink. May I ask, how did you prepare the refreshments before I went upstairs? Do you have the art of foresight? Or did someone tell you earlier?"

"I, I..." Unable to answer, Xiaoyu turned around and wanted to run, but was grabbed by Gu Sixiao.

Holding Xiaoyu's wrist, Gu Sixiao yelled and asked, "Say, who told you to do this? Shopkeeper Huang?! Or Li Chongyang!?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, little lady, you misunderstood, really misunderstood, how could I put medicine in the tea?"

"Did I say that medicine was put in the tea? I'm guilty of being a thief!" Gu Sixiao sneered, and approached her, "Xiaoyu, you poisoned me by poisoning me, and then rummaged through my package. Do you want to kill me? Tell me, who told me to do that?" What did you do? If you confess honestly, I can spare you once more. If you don’t confess, I will immediately call the arrester to catch you. When you are in prison, if you want to confess without suffering, it will not work. !"

"Little lady, don't, don't do that..." Xiaoyu fell to the ground in fright, hugged Gu Sixiao's thigh and begged for mercy, "I, I have no other choice..."

Gu Sixiao narrowed her eyes and was waiting for Xiaoyu to explain, but suddenly someone said outside the door: "Little lady, don't force her, I made her do it."

"Li Chongyang!" Gu Sixiao raised his eyebrows, thinking that he is waiting for you!Sure enough, he gave himself away!
Pushing the door open, Li Chongyang smiled at Xiaoyu and said softly, "Go, it's none of your business."

Xiaoyu got up, wiped her eyes, and looked at Li Chongyang worriedly when she exited the door, obviously worried about him.

Gu Sixiao couldn't help but sneered, "Guanshi Li is really good at it. Not only did my third sister be upset for you, but even this Xiaoyu is so dedicated to you, she is really a confidante everywhere!"

With a light cough, Li Chongyang didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in her words, but said softly: "Little lady, I know what happened just now, the little lady must be very angry, and Chongyang was too reckless to say it, and did something wrong."

"What did you do wrong? Li Guanshi still knows that he has done something wrong?"

Li Chongyang sighed, "I am too emotional, and this is the biggest mistake. Before the shopkeeper Huang found me, he knelt down and begged me, saying that he was fascinated by ghosts and made false accounts, so that now he has committed an irreparable big crime." wrong."

"I was angry and hated when I heard it, but little lady, shopkeeper Huang is an old courtier of Xue Ji. He has made contributions and endured hardships for Xue Ji, and there are young and old in his family. We can't really be so cruel. Watch him eat A lawsuit, right? I also thought that I had a close personal relationship with him, so I wanted to make this big thing into a small one, and make it small..."

"So Manager Li asked someone to drug me to steal the ledger?" Gu Sixiao sneered, "It's a pity that I don't have the ledger, so you're disappointed, Li Guanshi."

"What are you talking about, little lady? I'm just happy that the little lady's prudence saved me from making such a big mistake. Why don't we go to see Wanhua together and tell her about this, and see if we really want to Let the shopkeeper Huang be sent to the officials for strict punishment, or let him be dealt with lightly!?"

"I don't care if Manager Li arranges this for me. I will naturally show the account book to my sister. It's you, Manager Li. You know what you think and what you want to do. Don't take me for a fool!"

Li Chongyang smiled, just looked at her silently, as if he was looking at an ignorant and rude child.

"Where is Shopkeeper Huang now?!" Gu Sixiao squinted her eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that Li Chongyang didn't speak, but just smiled, Gu Sixiao immediately felt bad.

Not talking to Li Chongyang, she ran out of the private room, went downstairs to ask Xue Wanhua's whereabouts, and went straight to the "Fugui Restaurant".

But after all, she was still a step behind. When she arrived at the elegant room of the restaurant, she saw the shopkeeper Huang kneeling on the ground, crying with Xue Wanhua all over his face. While saying that he was deceived by lard, he raised his hand and slapped himself. , so sincere, so painful, as if I was so ashamed that I could jump downstairs as soon as I turned around.

Then Li Chongyang is really good at calculating.After failing to steal the account book, the back foot caught her and asked the shopkeeper Huang to come to Xue Wanhua to surrender. With the Xue family's family style, no matter how serious the incident was, it would be nothing more than a report to the official.

"Hua'er is back!" Looking up to see Gu Sixiao, Xue Wanhua smiled and nodded, signaling her to sit down.

"I've heard from shopkeeper Huang, this trip is thanks to you."

"It's all thanks to the little lady's earnest words that the little one came to realize that he had made a huge mistake, so he came to surrender to the Young Master's family."

Gu Sixiao raised her eyebrows and almost laughed out loud, "Sister Wanhua, this shopkeeper Huang is really good at talking, how have I ever persuaded him? It's just that I accidentally found a few books and wanted to give them to him. Elder sister just take a look. However, since shopkeeper Huang has said it himself, my account book is only a supplementary evidence."

"Treasurer Huang," Xue Wanhua called in a low voice, and said in a deep voice, "You are an old courtier of Xue Ji. When my father was in charge, he had already used you heavily. To think that you would do such a thing..."

His eyes flickered, and Gu Sixiao suddenly interjected: "Sister, shopkeeper Huang didn't do this alone, and someone else colluded with him!"

Xue Wanhua turned to look at her. Before she could speak, shopkeeper Huang had rushed over, "I did it all by myself, no one colluded with me!"

"No one colluded with you? No one colluded with you. How come no one found out that you had made fake accounts for so many years? No one colluded. Then how could Manager Li order someone to put medicine in my tea and try to steal it back? Ledger? No collusion, how could you be so coincidental that you confessed to your sister at this time? If there is really no collusion, why did you go to Li Guanshi first when you arrived in Jinan?!"

"I, I..." Gu Sixiao forced her to ask a few words, her eyes flickered, and she was speechless.

At this moment, a cough came from outside the door.

Shopkeeper Huang cheered up immediately, and almost hugged Xue Wanhua and shouted, "Young master, it's really all my fault!"

He yelled at this side, and Li Chongyang also spoke up outside, "I was also at fault."

Pushing the door open, he said in a deep voice: "Wanhua, I did this wrong. I shouldn't be selfish and want to help shopkeeper Huang just out of friendship."

Turning to Gu Sixiao, he said apologetically, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have wanted to steal the account book, but now I know that the little lady had such a deep misunderstanding about me. I just want to help shopkeeper Huang, out of kindness , I really didn’t collude with him to corrupt ink.”

"Wanhua, you know me best, who I am, you know best, you should know that I won't do such a thing."

"You," Xue Wanhua was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You call me Wanhua..."

Li Chongyang's eyes flickered, and before she realized it, she had already said in a low voice: "Since I was in charge, you said that you want to establish prestige for me, and you haven't called me by my name in front of people for several years..."
