Chapter 477
When Mrs. Mei said this, her throat choked and she could no longer speak.
Song Guanzhou took Mrs. Mei's arm and said with a low laugh, "If someone is smart, they would know that it is the villain who has evil intentions, without us saying more."
"If anyone goes to Second Aunt to murmur, goes to Sister-in-law to be sarcastic, or even worse, goes to Sister Shuyu to insult her, I ask if everyone has no words to say. Just tell her that you are wrong, our girl was framed by someone. If anyone dares to say more, then these maids, servants, and guards in front of you are all idle people, right?"
Qi Yueniang's mouth twitched, and she spoke several times before saying, "Hitting people..., hitting people is not good."
Ouch!
Song Guanzhou got so angry that he stood up and pointed at the maids standing in front of him, "Are you all eating for free? The master has his dignity, do you also have to stand there like a clay Buddha? When you meet someone who can't talk like this, you will slap her in the face. Of course--"
She paused and spoke a little weaker.
"As long as the other party can speak human language, there is no need to treat them barbarically."
The matchmaker and Zheng Zhuo were dragged in again. This time, the two dared not talk nonsense and told the whole story from beginning to end. Song Guanzhou was in control of the whole situation and asked the same question over and over again until everything was consistent. Then he asked, "Where did the hairpin come from?"
Zheng Zhuo was about to say that he picked it up, but immediately changed his words.
"Madam, it was bought by a student... a student."
He kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Song Guanzhou showed no mercy, "Your uncle also said that you were the one who planned everything, and it was you who had evil intentions and dragged him into the water. Think carefully about how to end this matter."
"Student, no, I, this bastard, will kowtow to the girl and beg the old lady and the young lady to forgive me, this bastard. My old mother gave birth to seven sisters before she had me..."
When she said this, she cried so hard that tears and snot flew everywhere.
He was obviously a good-looking young man, but he went astray. Now he is in a difficult situation and his life is in danger. He regrets it very much.
A good man was now sitting on the ground, his skin torn and flesh bruised, and he also implicated his uncle.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I felt, and I actually burst into tears.
Song Guanzhou was upset. He had just heard two sounds when Aru blocked his mouth again. "You are so brave. Why didn't you cry when you insulted my girl's reputation?"
The matchmaker forced herself to kowtow, but Song Guanzhou stopped her. "You two were born with mouths, but you use them to humiliate others. You should receive retribution for what you have done."
Alu stepped forward and bowed, "Young Madam, then this..."
Song Guanzhou stroked his eyebrows and said disapprovingly, "You can ask Tu Da what to do. After all, he is an eighth-rank military officer, so he is definitely not a fool."
Alu and Linxi called for someone to come, and took Tu Da and his men to a desolate place. The matchmaker wanted to cry but had no tears, and was so hurt that she dared not speak, and could only groan.
"My dear, please forgive me. I know I am wrong."
A'lu disagreed. He and the second housekeeper of the second house stood in front of the three people and the servants kneeling under the eaves of the corridor, "Master Tu, my young mistress said that you should think about how to clear the stigma of my daughter."
While the interrogation was going on, Song Guanzhou stretched his body in the main hall and took Mrs. Mei's arm. "How the matter is resolved depends on whether Tu Da wants to have a future and past. If he is not satisfied, we will detain the three of them today. Si Lang will be on duty tonight and let him handle it."
Hearing Pei An take action, Mrs. Mei felt inexplicably relieved.
She took Qi Yueniang and Song Guanzhou's slender hands and thanked them sincerely, "Today, I'm lucky that you two came to help me. I was really angry. Feng'er and I lost our sense of propriety. There was no man in the room. There were only old and young women and children. We had never seen such a scoundrel."
A sixteen-year-old bastard came up to them. He was so weak that he couldn't move his hands or feet when he heard what had happened. One moment he wanted to report to the police, the next he wanted to beat them up. He was young and had no experience in handling matters, and he seemed even more panicked than his wife and sister-in-law.
When Qi Yueniang heard her second aunt praising her, she quickly waved her hand.
"Luckily I brought the heroine here. Guan Zhou is brave and smart. If she hadn't been holding the fort today, I would have been in chaos."
Gu Miaofeng sighed, "Guan Zhou's character is just like that of a gentleman. He remained calm when he killed the three thieves. Even a timid person like me can't help but admire him."
There is no need for commercial mutual promotion.
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "I've always been rude, but I'm not unreasonable. This incident today is not your fault. Rich and powerful families have always had little devils and evil people plotting against them. Since they dared to come, don't blame me for being rude. Aunts and sisters-in-law, don't be soft-hearted. If Brother Hua Silang came, I'm afraid he would be beaten to death immediately."
This is how the era is.
People are divided into different classes.
For those with titles, murder and arson are just part of the punishment, but for those of the lower class, not to mention murder, even if they attempt to murder their master, they will be sentenced to death.
This is still a clear way out. If there is no clear way out, you can bribe the government coroner and even if a few maids and servants died, you can still get away with it.
Song Guanzhou was familiar with the Dalong Criminal Law and sighed after reading it.
I never thought it would work today and even scared Tu Da.
But - the reason why she used force to suppress the thieves was only because of the power and status of the government. She was sure that no matter how she beat the thieves today, the government would be able to deal with the aftermath.
Besides, with this power and manpower, why bother to sit down and argue with unreasonable bad guys?
"Second Aunt, why don't we take this opportunity to go to Sister Shuyu's place? If she has any concerns, I can talk to her about it."
Mrs. Mei was naturally more than happy to receive it.
Pulling Song Guanzhou, he said, "My daughter is very straightforward, and my nephew from her mother's side is also impatient. He actually wrote a letter to cancel the engagement privately. After Shuyu read it, she has been crying since yesterday."
Gu Miaofeng sighed, "Now that I hear it, I feel that Erlang's behavior is understandable. Otherwise, when I received the letter yesterday, I felt dizzy. Not only my sister couldn't bear it, but even I, as her sister-in-law, was so angry that I was shaking."
Mrs. Mei hugged Gu Miaofeng and sighed, "Good child, you are her biological sister-in-law, so you should be on the side of your biological sister."
"I heard that Uncle Mei is also a prefect, and he is wise and sensible. Now that the truth is out, and he has written a letter to explain it clearly, there will be no problem."
Mrs. Mei could only nod her head.
Little did they know that Hongxiu had gone back and forth several times, and had told Pei Shuyu and the three girls the general idea, "The fourth young master's wife is very powerful. Not only did that unruly little beast tremble with fear, but even the maids and servants in our house, and even those usually arrogant guards and servants, dared not breathe in front of her."
Pei Shuyu's face was filled with disbelief. "Since my fourth sister-in-law is so frail, I thought it was just a rumor. I never thought..."
"My dear girl, you have forgotten that the Fourth Young Master's wife has killed someone."
Wow! Yes!
