Li Haitang was more grateful than ever for Si Mingtang's decision to stay, and was also glad that Zhuge Yi did not insist on letting Si Mingtang go to Jiangnan City together.According to Mo Shenghuan, Wang's two dowry maids have confirmed that one of them has betrayed, and it is unknown whether the other is loyal.The treacherous maid can betray her master once, and there will be no more loyalty constraints.Strike while the iron is hot, Li Haitang sent the shadow guard to quietly tie up the two dowry maids of the Wang family, and the lure does not achieve severe punishment, there is always a way to tell the truth.Si Mingtang found that the little girl was getting more and more interesting, compared to the stubborn resistance that she had been forced to make, now she took the initiative to attack was more eye-opening, and couldn't help but wonder if she was really only thirteen years old?
Thinking about the scene when I was thirteen years old, it seems that there is less passion for young maniacs, and it is as plain as a pool of stagnant water."
Alas!
It would have been nice if you had appeared a few years earlier. ”Si Mingtang sighed sincerely.Li Haitang smiled, although he didn't understand, she understood his thoughts.She took the initiative to pull Si Mingtang's sleeve and said, "Fate is destined, I am destined to appear at that time, and I am destined to meet Brother Mingtang at this time."
I didn't know what fate was before, but after going through ups and downs, I knew it deeply. ”Si Mingtang said sincerely: "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you." ”Li Haitang smiled but said nothing, and when she saw Qingluo coming with a solemn face, she knew that the shadow guard sent to Su Mansion to kidnap people had returned, and it didn't seem to be going well."
Little master, Mrs.
Su's dowry maid is here.The shadow guard also brought news from Su Mansion and asked the little master to move to the dungeon, and Abel was also there. ”"Hmm.If Abel doesn't come, I'll invite him too. ”Li Haitang invited Si Mingtang, "If Brother Mingtang is interested, come together." ”"Of course."
Si Mingtang smiled gently, and her sleeves were pulled by her and taken to the corner of the back house.The entrance to the dungeon of Tangfu is set up in a well, and when you shake the wheel on the well, a flower garden behind the well moves instantly, revealing the stone steps of the dungeon.Li Haitang never knew that there was a dungeon in Tang Mansion, and the entrance was so exquisitely designed.This is her usual way to the back kitchen, where she occasionally stops to water and fertilize the flowers, unaware that there is a dungeon buried under the garden.Ah Bo led Li Haitang and Si Mingtang down the stone steps together.The dark tunnel was not long, and at the end of dozens of stone steps was an open field, with a cell on the left and right, and a torture cell in between.When the two shadow guards saw Abel coming, they bowed silently.Abel explained to Haitang: "The two shadow guards sent by the little master are responsible for luring away the people of Su Mansion, and they are my guards. ”Li Haitang knew that Zhuge Yi treated Abel very favorably, and although Abel was his confidant and old servant, he had his own guards, business, and grange.He did not have a deed of sale, and he was also a friend and servant with Zhuge Yi."
Abel doesn't have to explain.""
Thank you little master for your trust."
Abel is neither humble nor arrogant, he is Zhuge Yi's old servant, and he can not obey Haitang's orders.Although she kept saying that she would regain the property that originally belonged to the Yu family for him, he did not dare to hope for it.He knows her temperament too well, and the Su family will end up like the Wu family in Liangping City, one is to choose to surrender to Zhuge Yi, and the other is to destroy the whole clan.Old lady Wu surrendered to Zhuge Yi in order to protect the Wu clan, was he really willing?
If the life of his daughter Mrs.
Su was not in the hands of Li Haitang, how could Mrs.
Wu, who had been in business all her life, bow down to him?
Unconsciously, Ah Bo looked at the delicate and innocent Begonia with deep eyes, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: if she was born a man, she would be the second living dead.Li Haitang looked at the women who were locked in two cells, the same age as the Wang family, and they should have been with each other since childhood."
Abel, bring the servant girl who betrayed her master, and I will see how it is to forget your righteousness.""
Yes."
Abel looked at a shadow guard and said, "Didn't you hear the little master's orders?"
Bring it out. ”The shadow guard nodded, walked to the cell on the left, and took out the woman with half of her face with a bruised face, and escorted her to Begonia.Li Haitang invited Si Mingtang and Ah Bo to sit on the small bench in the torture room, tilted her little head to look at the woman, and said, "Who beat her?"
”"Mrs.
Su."
Abel glanced at it coldly, and said disdainfully: "If it were the master of our family, I would have let her go to Huangquan Road a long time ago." ”"Don't scare her, Master, don't ignore her."
Li Haitang lifted the little feet of the golden lotus, and the embroidered shoes just stepped on one of the fingers of the maidservant, and pretended to be pitiful and said: "The Wang family is really vicious, even if you are unrighteous, she should also remember the master-servant relationship for many years." ”"Little owner of the valley house, what do you want to do with me?
Kill me to vent the young lady's anger?
still threaten me like Su Miaoqing and let me betray the young lady. ”The maidservant endured the pain on her face, stubbornly holding her head high and glaring at Begonia.She knew that it would be difficult to turn back if she made a mistake, and since her master had abandoned her, she wanted to find a future for herself.Li Haitang took back the little feet of the golden lotus, took out three silver tickets, and said, "This is three hundred taels of silver, enough for you to leave Xianhua City to find a place to settle down." ”"I want a thousand taels."
The lion-handmaiden opened her mouth.Li Haitang sneered: "You are really greedy." ”"Who is selfless when it comes to living for profit?"
The maidservant replied confidently, she said that everyone in the world has selfish desires, and Begonia thought it was normal for people and did not refute it."
Good.Although you are unkind, you can be honest with yourself, and you can be regarded as a person who dares to be a person.I believe in you, and I will give you a thousand taels of silver. ”Li Haitang took out a few silver tickets from his arms and said, "But you have to understand that the news you gave me is worth this price." ”The maidservant hesitated for a moment and said, "If the little proprietor wants to know anything, just ask, as long as I know." ”"Acquaintance."
Li Haitang gave a thumbs up and admired, and scolded this woman's ancestors for a hundred generations in her heart."
I don't ask the Wang family, I only ask the Su family.Tell me in detail what you know about the Su family, and then talk about it after you think about it, I want to listen to the truth. ”"The Su family has a lot of secrets, I am the young lady's companion, and what I know is also the secret of recent years.As for the Su family's secrets from decades ago, or earlier, the little proprietor can tie up the old housekeeper for interrogation.He is the old lady's henchman, and he is the one who really controls the Su Mansion.Sometimes the lord and the lady are afraid of him, not to mention the old men of the Su clan. ”"Oh, only the third master is not afraid of the old butler.The old lady, the old housekeeper, the old man and the lords and sons of the various provinces are all afraid of the three masters. ”"Who is he?"
Li Haitang asked Abo.Ah Bo replied: "Old Lady Su's third cousin is a person who acts quite like the first generation of the Su family.It's a pity that he has no intention of competing for the position of head of the family, and likes to be at ease. ”Li Haitang nodded and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on it." ”Ah Bo didn't ask, and sent a shadow guard out to give orders.Si Mingtang was puzzled, but it was not good to ask here.Li Haitang got up and said to Abel: "Annoyed Uncle is hard.Brother Mingtang and I went to see if Brother Huan woke up, and came to look for me after Abel finished asking. ”"Yes."
Ah Bo motioned for the shadow guard to torture the maidservant, and he personally sent Haitang and Si Mingtang out of the dungeon.() Glory to the end
