Chapter 374 Dirty Water (2)

The name Yujinge is familiar to most people in Kyoto. Although the name sounds quite elegant, it is actually just a pawnshop business, and it is a relatively low-grade pawnshop.

This kind of pawn shop will naturally store some shady things, such as things stolen from the mansion by servants of some aristocratic families.

"Shopkeeper Lu is really knowledgeable. He actually knows Shui'er's real name and recognizes her as a member of Zuo Xiangfu." After listening to Lu Zhihang's narration, Huang Ge slightly curled her lips, and said with a smile that was not a smile.

Although it was no secret in the whole of Kyoto that the servants of the aristocratic family stole the things of the masters and sold them, but no servant was so stupid as to not only report his real name but also the mansion where he served.

"Of course he doesn't know Shui'er and he doesn't know that these things belong to my Prime Minister's house, but it's because Mrs. Ding discovered Shui'er's theft recently and ordered someone to investigate it. All the stolen things were sold to Yujing Pavilion. The painter in the Fuzhong gave Shui'er's portrait to shopkeeper Lu, and he naturally knew everything." Just as Huang Ge's voice fell, Bai Hui immediately took it over .
"Yes, yes, that girl has been seen dozens of times over the years, and I have already remembered her appearance in my mind. At that time, the person from the Prime Minister's Mansion brought the portrait and I couldn't recognize it. There is absolutely no mistake." Hearing what Bai Hui said, Lu Zhihang immediately nodded heavily, and agreed with him very positively.

Looking at the reaction of the two of them, Huang Ge knew that they had already made a confession, glanced at Xiao Qingzi who was kneeling next to Lu Zhihang, and instead of asking Lu Zhihang any more questions, he raised his eyebrows and pointed at him.

"What about this one?"

"The slave, Xiao Qingzi, is the doorkeeper of the prime minister's mansion. The eldest lady should have seen the slave before." Seeing Huang Ge's eyes falling on him, Xiao Qingzi immediately bowed to Huang Ge and said respectfully. .

Huang Ge tried hard to think about it, and after tracing Bai Zhi's memory, she managed to find some memories about Xiao Qingzi. This person is indeed a little close to Shui'er on weekdays, because Bai Zhi was often beaten back then, and Shui'er had to sneak away Going out of the mansion to ask Uncle Seven to come in to treat Bai Zhi's injuries, Xiaoqingzi saw that Shui'er was pitiful and often gave her convenience, and the two of them became acquainted after coming and going, but they were far away from the relationship between the two hearts.

"You said that Shui'er had an affair with you, is there any evidence?" Seeing that Pei Ze didn't take the initiative to ask questions, Huang Ge asked the questions in his heart one by one.

"The fact that Shui'er is familiar with the slave is well known in the house, but Shui'er was afraid that the eldest lady would ask her to take responsibility after she found out about it, so she never told the eldest lady about it." Xiao Qingzi answered Huang Ge almost without thinking. The reasons given are also reasonable.

After all, both of them are low-level servants in the mansion, if there is no master to act as a matchmaker, it is adultery and it is a taboo in the mansion.Shui'er was afraid that Huang Ge would punish her for this and did not hide it, which is reasonable.

It's just... If it's really an affair, how can it be known to everyone in Zuo Xiang's mansion.

However, Huang Ge didn't ask this question yet, she wanted to see what else Xiao Qingzi could say later.

"Since you and Shui'er communicated with each other, is there any token to prove it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qingzi looked at Huang Ge with a puzzled expression, and then whispered after hesitating for a while.

"We who are low-class slaves don't have any valuable objects as tokens in our daily life. We can find a home for each of us, and we will be satisfied if we have a few children in the future who will not suffer from hunger and cold."
