A Chronicle of the Growth of the General Manager in the Qing Dynasty

On the first day Nian entered the mansion, he defeated the Niuhulu clan, but was arranged by Sifujin to have a nanny by his side. Only pay attention to the poisoning of Hongli.

The very modern interrogation method provided by Mrs. Niu Hulu was indeed very useful. On the third day, the man finally couldn't hold on and agreed to confess. As soon as the fourth master heard the news, he put down the notebook in his hand and took They went to interrogation together.

The place where the interrogation was carried out was the place where Su Wen killed people for the first time. When Su Wen walked in again, he didn't have the fear of the past. Maybe it was because he had killed people himself. familiar feeling.The fourth master was also greeted by Yi who was in charge of the place. After Yi saluted the fourth master, he nodded at Su Peisheng. Obviously, the two were very familiar with each other. When he saw Su Wen on the side, he raised his eyebrows and showed With an expression of wanting to laugh but not knowing how to laugh, Su Wen almost laughed out loud, and also returned a kind smile.

When they entered, the man had already been brought out. Su Wen hurriedly took a chair and waited for the fourth master to sit down. After the fourth master sat down, he did not speak. They all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. The prisoner seemed to have been tortured too badly by the secret room, and he was a little dazed. After a while, he heard fourth master say: "Come on, master, listen."

"The slave's name is Xiaoshan, and he is in charge of the procurement. Last year, the slave once completed the procurement. There was nothing to do, so..."

Xiao Shan seemed hesitant to speak, and Su Peisheng understood Fourth Master's mind best, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Shan kowtowed and said, "I went to that place to relieve myself." As soon as he said that, even Su Wen understood that it was a place like a brothel.

"The servant drank a few more glasses when he was happy that night, and he became a little dizzy, and then he was pushed by everyone to gamble with others. Who knew that when he woke up the next day, the servant found that he still owed others several hundred taels Well, even if the servant has been purchasing for his whole life, he can’t afford to pay back the few hundred taels. At this moment, the man said, let the servant come to him to get the goods when purchasing in the future, so as to repay the debt. The servant has nowhere to go I believed it, and as the number of times increased, I became acquainted with him. Who would have thought that the man turned his face and used the servant's family to threaten the servant to do things for them. The servant had no choice but to obey his words, but he never What order, the slave thought that he had forgotten about the slave, but just when the slave was relieved, the man gave the slave an order to send the dishes prepared by the prince to him on the day the prince married Fujin In elder brother Hongli's kitchen, the servants did it."

The fourth master drank the hot tea prepared by Yi, but didn't respond. Su Wen was a little bored listening to it. It's too common for Xiaoshan to be threatened and then do something, but that person must not be found now.

Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "Let's deal with it."

As soon as Xiao Shan heard that his heart and soul were gone, he hurriedly shouted: "The slave still knows, there is someone in the mansion who works for him..."

Yi stopped, and Fourth Master put down the teacup and said, "Is there anyone else in the house? Tell me!"

"The slave has been doing procurement for so many years, and he is very clear about those things that are incompatible. Once the person gives it to the slave, the slave will know that something big will happen. The slave will spare his life, so I want to find a time to change these two things. , and replaced it with a less toxic one, but when the slave was about to change, he was discovered by a guard, who did not expect that the guard was guarding the slave, so the slave had no choice but to do it."

"Who is that guard? Can you identify it?"

"The servant doesn't know the guard's name, but the servant knows that the guard is in charge of guarding the front yard. After arguing with him, the servant accidentally grabbed an iron ring from his hand. The iron ring Originally, the slave thought it was useless and wanted to throw it away, but then he kept it."

After hearing Xiao Shan's confession, Fourth Master was silent for a long time. He didn't expect that person to be in his front yard. Thinking of this, Fourth Master was startled and asked, "Where is the iron ring now?"

"Under the bed in the slave's room."

Su Wen looked at Xiao Shan's eyes begging for his life, and turned his head. Since all this has been done, how could the fourth master's narrow-mindedness and harshness let him go? Just keep it for now."

On Xiao Shan's face was the rejoicing of the rest of his life. After the group left, the fourth master said, "Su Wen, now go to that Xiao Shan's room and get the iron ring."

Su Wen got the order and went to the backyard. At this time, the sky had already darkened. Su Wen knew that Fourth Master was very angry now, so he walked quickly. When he arrived at Xiaoshan's room, Su Wen opened the door and went in, lighting the candles. Huo, found that the room in the hill was very messy, went under the bed without thinking, and groped for it, and finally found it in a corner under the bed, Su Wen held it in his hand and looked at it.

This iron ring is not so much an iron ring as it is a ring. It is obviously a ring worn on the finger. Su Wen touched it a few times and found that there seemed to be words on the inside of the ring, so he looked at it in the bright place of the candle. After a few glances, there are two names engraved on it, one is called Lu Yi, the other is called Lin Wei, Su Wen is secretly startled, this is a serious matter, this ring is definitely a thing of love, thinking of this, I think of myself The private meeting of Lu Yi that I saw by accident, it is difficult to say that the guard is the person Xiao Shan said.

Su Wen guessed in his heart, walked towards the front yard non-stop, and presented the ring up after meeting the fourth master. The fourth master groped for a long time, but there was no expression on his face, but both Su Wen and Su Peisheng knew , this is the precursor of fourth master's real anger, and it is true, fourth master is now thinking about the color of the hat on his head.

"Su Wen, go and bring this man named Lin Wei to the Lord. Su Peisheng, bring Lu Yi here too."

Su Wen hurriedly looked for the guard, but Su Wen did not guess wrong, the guard was the one he had guessed, Lin Wei narrowed his eyes when he saw Su Wen coming, Su Wen said: "Guard Lin, the master told you to go one trip."

Su Wen led Lin Wei to the study room. At this moment, he met Su Peisheng and Lu Yi who were walking from the other side. When the fourth master came out, Lin Wei suddenly stepped forward to grab the fourth master. Su Wen saw him from the corner of his eye. Lin Wei hurriedly blocked Su Wen's movement, and Lin Wei only had time to grab Su Wen. He tightened his arm around Su Wen's neck and shouted: "Back, back..."

Fourth Master was also shocked by what happened in front of him. He didn't expect this guard to be so bold, daring to rob him. He glanced at Su Wen who was caught, and felt a little satisfied. Luyi already knew that the matter was over. Su Peisheng responded Even faster, he grabbed Lu Yi with one hand, and the fourth master said: "It's useless for you to struggle now, the man in your hand is nothing more than a slave, if he dies, he will die, but you can't escape. "

Lin Wei looked at Lu Yi, whose tears kept flowing, and the guards around him rushed up. He knew that he was done, so he smiled at Lu Yi, pushed Su Wen towards Fourth Master, and threw himself at the guard holding the knife In the past, by the time everyone reacted, the person was already dead.

Su Wen only felt dizzy, and didn't realize that he was in Fourth Master's arms. When Su Wen rushed over, Fourth Master had no time to escape, and just hugged him. He only felt that the person in his arms was very thin. After Wen left, he still felt the smell of saponin on the tip of his nose, which was completely different from the smell of powder on other eunuchs, which made him a little distracted for a moment.

Su Wen bowed his head and retreated to the side, not daring to look at Fourth Master. He always felt that his performance today was enough to be missed by Fourth Master's narrow-mindedness. Maybe one day he would be unlucky again. Fourth Master stabilized his mind and looked at the already Lu Yi, who was a little crazy, said: "Su Peisheng, bring her in, and everyone else should leave."

The guards dragged Lin Wei's body down, Su Peisheng dragged Lu Yi into the study, the fourth master stepped forward, grabbed Lu Yi's chin with his hand and said, "Tell me, who are you from?"

There were no tears in Lu Yi's eyes, she laughed out loud, looking extraordinarily gloomy in this night, "Who am I, you ask? I was given to you by Concubine De, who do you think I am? !"

The fourth master suddenly let go of her chin, walked to the desk, took the handkerchief Su Wen handed over, wiped his hands and said, "Don't fool me, Concubine De is my mother-in-law, it can't be hers." .”

Luyi stood up with difficulty, and said with a smile: "My lord, you are really deceiving yourself. When brother Honghui had an accident, you should have been interrogated, but you didn't want to hear it. Why, didn't you never think about it in your heart?" Suspected?"

The fourth master lowered his face, stared straight at Luyi, and didn't respond. Luyi seemed to feel that it wasn't enough, and said, "Brother Honghui's illness, brother Hongyun's death, Niu Hulu's accident, etc. Brother Hongli was poisoned, all these are the intentions of the Concubine De, and the servants also follow the orders."

Su Peisheng got fourth master's intention, stepped forward and slapped Lu Yi twice, Lu Yi was slapped and shook her body a few times, still smiling, fourth master didn't ask any more questions, but Lu Yi obviously didn't want to let him go , said: "You know? I actually don't want to come to this mansion at all. Although I was persecuted by my stepmother and forced into the palace, I have been quiet all the time. I just want to leave the palace when I reach the age." gone."

When Luyi said this, she didn't care about Si Ye's expression, and said with a happy face: "I have someone I like, we have always loved each other, and we once swore to be together forever, and he was transferred to the fourth elder brother's mansion When I was working as a guard, I was also full of joy, just thinking that I would be released from the palace in a short time, and then we would get married and live together."

Su Wen looked at Fourth Master, Fourth Master was holding hands tightly, the veins on his hands were swollen, he was worried that Fourth Master would explode, but Luyi's tone changed and said: "Just when we are all full of expectations, That woman, Concubine De, ruined my life. After she learned that you had returned from the battlefield, she found me and said that she wanted to reward me to you. I wanted to shirk it, but Concubine De took my money My family and him came to threaten me, and just like that, I was forced to enter the mansion. Because I got the order from Concubine De, I tried every means to seduce you, and finally became your woman, but do you know? I still feel that I am already dirty , It's dirty, I don't dare to think about him again."

The hands held by the fourth master were already bleeding, Su Wen gave Su Peisheng a wink, Su Peisheng hurriedly pulled Lu Yi, trying to pull her down, but the fourth master said: "Let her talk, grandpa." To know everything."

Luyi squinted her eyes and said: "Although he and I are in this mansion, we haven't met once, but Concubine De has been sending me orders, I have to do it, I don't understand, De How could the concubine be so cruel that she let me assassinate brother Honghui? I don’t know who the person I came into contact with was, but I still carried it out. Brother Honghui had an accident in the end, but he was rescued unexpectedly At that time, I realized that Concubine De had arranged many people in this mansion, and I was not the only one. Later, I finally met him, and our meeting this time was extremely painful. The concubine sent to the mansion, we are actually just pawns, in fact, it is not the concubine De who hurt Hongli elder brother this time, but the fourteenth elder brother."

Hearing this, Fourth Master's already numb heart trembled again, and he said, "Brother Fourteen? Are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm a dying person, so why lie anymore, the person who came into contact with Xiaoshan outside the mansion is the disciple of the Fourteenth Brother, Fourth Master, I have said everything without a trace of reservation, I hope you are here After giving me death, you can bury me and Lin Wei together, he has been waiting for me for so many years, it should be together."

Fourth master didn't answer, Su Peisheng hurriedly pulled him down, and came back after a while, Su Wen knew that Lu Yi was gone, fourth master staggered a few steps and sat on the chair, but felt uncomfortable.

In fact, he already believed in the investigation when Honghui had an accident, and he was very confident in the results of his investigation, but he was still deceiving himself in his heart, hoping that all this was framed by others, no Er Niang instigated him, and he looked at Er Niang's performance with cold eyes. Er Niang still loved Hong Hui very much, and was very considerate of him. She even tried her best to arrange Hong Hui's marriage, but why did she do this in secret? Woolen cloth?And Shisi, this younger brother, he has actually been paying attention to him secretly all the time. After all, this is his own younger brother. Although he is very strict with Shishi, it's just that he doesn't know how to get along with him. Si wants to harm his own children, did he unknowingly betray his relatives?

Su Peisheng went out of the study and was talking with someone. Su Wen glanced at it, and soon Su Peisheng came back. The fourth master asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, the person who came into contact with Xiao Shan is indeed from the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion, and that Lin Wei is actually a man from the Defei Empress from the beginning to the end. It's unknown, this Lin Wei is still good, although he is silent but very generous, so he gets along well with other guards, but..."

"Just what? Keep talking!"

Su Peisheng saw that the fourth master was already angry, so he hurriedly said in a low voice: "It's just that Lin Wei is not like Luyi Gege said, he was actually married before he was assigned to the mansion for less than a year, and the other party is still The daughter of a scholar, and two concubines, now I have two sons and two daughters."

Su Wen closed his eyes, feeling a little sad for Luyi. She came to the mansion because of this man. Even if she became Fourth Master's woman, she still kept this man in her heart, and even begged Fourth Master when she died. I could bury her with this man, but in the end, this man used to live a very carefree life. He had a wife, a concubine and children, and he had everything he needed. Once a woman fell in love, she couldn't extricate herself Yes, it often ends in tragedy in the end, and even himself is folded in, but the man is still watching coldly, and maybe laughing at the woman's behavior in his heart.

Su Peisheng winked at Su Wen, Su Wen hurriedly took the medicine, stepped forward to apply the medicine to Fourth Master's hand, Su Wen held Fourth Master's hand in one hand, and wiped the ointment with the other, Fourth Master looked down and applied it to himself seriously Su Wen, who took the medicine, only felt that his heart had calmed down. Let go of Er Niang and younger brother, and he will not care about it anymore, and will not force it anymore.

When Su Wen applied the medicine to Fourth Master, his movements were still very light. He always felt that the injury on Fourth Master's hand was actually very painful. It was the first time that Fourth Master looked at Su Wen's face so closely, and suddenly felt that, This Su Wen is really like Shisan said, white and fat, even his cheeks are fleshy, and there is an urge to be pinched, and when his hand touches Su Wen's, he feels It was rare for him to think of the feeling he felt during the epidemic, a little warm and a little comfortable. Just when the fourth master was immersed in comfort, he suddenly remembered the scene that he encountered unexpectedly in the uterus. Suddenly startled, he hurriedly pushed Su Wen away. Su Wen was concentrating on applying the medicine, but was pushed and fell to the ground, feeling aggrieved. He glanced at Fourth Master, and now he was administering medicine for him. Why do you treat yourself like this.

Fourth Master didn't know what he was afraid of, and he couldn't help but think about that scene. When he recovered, Su Wen had already been pushed to the ground by himself. Looking at Su Wen with aggrieved eyes, Fourth Master Dazed for a moment, he turned his eyes away in embarrassment, got up and said, "Su Peisheng, clean up...go to...Nian Shi's place."

Su Peisheng gave Su Wen a sympathetic look, and then left with the fourth master. Su Wen was stunned and hurriedly got up and tidied up, thinking that the fourth master would be resting in Nian's room tonight, and Su Peisheng would be by his side to serve him. He turned and went back to his room.
