MTL - Enter the Room-Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Only the dead keep secrets forever.
But some things are the bottom line of being a human being.
Someone broke in, Song Jiyun originally thought, let Zheng Quan take him down, tie him up blindfolded, throw him into the cellar of the farm under her name, shut him up for a few days, and take him away quietly after her business is done. Let them go to Nanchang Mansion or Jiujiang, and this matter will be over.
Even if this person is found in the future, she doesn't show up, Zheng Quan is a servant, and there is always a way to evade it.
But now, this method can no longer be used.
She mused, "Send him to my yard for now!"
Zheng Quan was taken aback, and said: "It's possible? Men and women can't kiss each other. He is also a master. What if he goes crazy and hurts you?"
Song Jiyun said: "Besides my place, where else do you think is suitable?"
Since her father passed away, all kinds of ghosts and monsters have appeared, and the servants are not as honest as before.
Zheng Quan scratched his head and said, "I'll listen to Miss."
Missy is much smarter than him. All he knew was to throw a few dead branches under the eaves to prevent people from eavesdropping. The eldest lady had long thought of the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind, and arranged for people to hide in the dark.
Song Jiyun asked Zheng Quan to gag the strange man, **** the hemp rope, and said: "He is very skilled in martial arts, don't let him break free and run away, and don't let him have a chance to yell. We don't know who he is yet. Woolen cloth!"
Zheng Quan said "Hmm", and followed Song Jiyun's instructions to find the hemp rope.
It's just that he had just tied the man up, when there was an approaching noise outside, and hearing that sound, a large group of people were running towards this side.
Xiang Zan, who was placed outside to let the wind out, ran in with a panicked expression, and said, "Miss, it's Steward Lin, and he brought a lot of people here."
Steward Lin was originally a small steward in charge of flowers and trees in the second room. The old man came to help with the funeral. After this person flattered the old man, he became a little arrogant, self-righteous, and didn't take other people seriously.
Zheng Quan listened impatiently, and asked Song Jiyun: "What should I do?"
Song Jiyun also frowned.
In order to let Zheng Quan go out quietly today, she also found something to do for those who watched the long room or the third room winking, but unexpectedly, they did not trap them.
Sneaking away from the back of the study?
I'm afraid these people will become more and more complacent, pretending to be a tiger, and not taking Erfang seriously.
Song Jiyun sneered.

But when Steward Lin led people into the study excitedly, he saw the door of the study was wide open, and in the middle of the study was a large box about half a person's height, carved with pineapple wood and green pine, covered with copper corners, surrounded by Zheng Quan and the young lady. The little maid, Xiangzan, was loading books there.
Xiang Hairpin also said to Zheng Quan: "Be careful! These are the things that the Second Master liked most during his lifetime."
Silly big Zheng Quan was ordered by a little maid who was less than ten years old, and he nodded foolishly.
Manager Lin looked down on Zheng Quan even more.
He pointed to the messy yard and asked Xiangzan: "What's the matter? It was planed by a dog! The second master is still alive, and you little hoofs are starting to lose your mind!"
Xiang Zan gave him a blank look, as if he didn't see him, and continued to pack things in the study with Zheng Quan back and forth.
Boss Lin was so angry that his face turned blue, and he was about to give up a few steps forward, but when he looked up, he saw Song Jiyun sitting in the corner of the study.
"Miss, miss!" He thought of the servant who was sold by the second master to the whole family because of offending Song Jiyun, and under the prestige, his speech was a little knotted, "You, why are you here? I, I just heard something, and I'm afraid there will be someone Irrelevant people ran in to follow things, so they came here to take a look."
Song Jiyun nodded, and said: "You came just in time. This box is quite big, and the things are a bit heavy. Help me and Zheng Quan to carry this box to my yard."
Steward Lin subconsciously replied "Yes", and then realized that it was no longer the time for the second master to be in charge, so he straightened his back and said, "Miss, it's not that I don't want to help you with this matter, but I still care about it." Is it something about the warehouse in the funeral? I can’t leave right now. I think it’s better to talk to the old man and ask the old man to send two healthy servants to help you carry the boxes.”
As for whether this box can be moved to her yard as the young lady wishes, it depends on whether the old lady agrees.
Song Jiyun nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
Guard Lin was overjoyed, and heard Song Jiyun say: "Whoever takes over the job, you will be taken care of by the family. Since you don't want to be under my supervision, and don't want to take over my job, I won't force you."
"Zheng Quan!" She said loudly, "Drag him to the yard for me, and beat him with fifty sticks first."
Zheng Quan had long hated these wall grasses, how could he hear such words.
He immediately went forward and cut Steward Lin backwards, tied him up, and beat him with a stick.
Boss Lin couldn't believe it, and when he came back to his senses, he yelled, "Miss, please spare me!"
Song Jiyun didn't even look at him, and walked to the steps of the study.
The servants and servants who followed Steward Lin backed up a few steps in fright.
Song Jiyun looked at these familiar or unfamiliar faces, his expression was colder than ice: "A dog knows who to feed it, and it will guard the door for whom. Since it is not as good as a dog, what can I do with him?"
No one dared to look at her.
Behind her came Guanshi Lin's miserable cry.
There is also the servant of the long room, who moves quietly and wants to run.
Song Jiyun sneered, and said: "Zheng Quan, remember to stay in charge of the forest. You can throw him in front of my uncle and ask my uncle, can I carry this box?"
*
Song Jiyun's uncle, Song Daliang, looked at Guanshi Lin, who was limp under his feet, with only one breath left, and was so angry that he overturned the table of wine and food.
Soup and water splashed everywhere.
He pointed at Zheng Quan furiously, and said: "What is she going to do? Threatening me? Does she still know the status of the elders?"
Zheng Quan followed Song Jiyun's instructions, squeezed his hands "cracking" and said with a sullen face: "Miss just asked me to ask you, can the box be moved?"
Song Daliang looked at Zheng Quan's big fan-like hands, and then at the personless Steward Lin, couldn't help but flinch, and said sternly, "What if I don't let her?"
"That's nothing!" Zheng Quan said: "Miss said, since there are so many people in the family and none of them can work, then sell all the current people and bring back some who can work."
"What does she mean?" Song Daliang was stunned.
The deeds of prostitution of the servants of the second house are all in the hands of the second house, so it’s okay to sell her, he just happens to fill in the servants of the long house.
But the second child is very cunning, he didn't figure out how much property he had when he was alive, not to mention that he is gone now, and the seal has not been found, if the people who usually serve the second child are gone, what will happen to him? Who did he turn to inquire about the second child?
Don't suppress Song Jiyun's arrogance... He couldn't swallow this breath.
Song Daliang walked back and forth in the house several times with his hands behind his back, constantly enlightening himself in his heart, "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of no firewood", "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge", and finally recovered. After expressing the anger in his heart, he said to Zheng Quan: "Go and tell her, don't make an example!"
Zheng Quan thanked him, but did not leave immediately.
Song Daliang looked at him in surprise.
Zheng Quandao: "Miss said that she still needs four people who carry boxes. Let the old man send four strong people over there."
"What?" Song Daliang was furious.
He muttered about it in the room for a long time, and then with a sullen face, he angrily sent four healthy servants to follow Zheng Quan to the study.
