Chapter 136 Missing Grandma Qi San
Xun Qingran brought people into Grandma Qi San's bedroom, but Grandma Qi San was missing. At the middle of the night, Grandma at the mansion was not resting in the bedroom, and her whereabouts were unknown. This was true. Xun Qingran rubbed her eyebrows.
The woman over there had already helped Aunt Yan up and was laughing with Aunt Yan.
"It's still my aunt who is loyal and capable. We called the door for a long time. The aunt came and the door opened. I asked the aunt to atone for her sins. The slave failed. Who knew that the aunt opened the door so quickly. Auntie, you didn't fall anywhere."
Aunt Yan just hung her head, closed her eyes, and said nothing, as if she had fainted. She let the woman slap her without saying anything.
Aunt Yan must have known the inside story of Grandma Qi San's disappearance. She was afraid that Xun Qingran would ask questions, so she had to pretend to be in a coma. It was just that she let the woman slap her. The meaning was expressed very clearly. No matter what, she would not wake up.
Xun Qingran turned her gaze to the little girl who was shivering in the corner of the wall.
Malt walked over, pulled the girl up, and asked, "Where have your grandma been?"
The little girl was shaking more and more, stammering, muttering, not a single useful word.
"You are the girl next to Grandma San. When I came here just now, your grandma was still sick in bed, but she disappeared after so much effort. Tell me quickly what's going on, otherwise, this law will not spare you." Xun Qingran said.
The little girl still didn't speak.
"The third grandma disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that you were killed?" Xun Qingran scared.
"Grandma San, Grandma San," the little girl trembled, but finally spoke, "No matter what I do, I don't know where Grandma San has gone."
After saying these two words, the little girl rolled her eyes and fainted. Judging from her posture, she really fainted.
"Hurry up and pass the message. Grandma San is gone. There must be something strange here. I will dig three feet into the ground and save Grandma San. "
Xun Qingran gave an order.
She originally killed her and shot her in the name of Grandma Qi San, and took the opportunity to search. She just waited for the gambling group to find the other side, so she could not tell where Grandma Qi San was going, so she had an excuse to search for this Shaoyao Pavilion.
Here, someone was sent to the backyard to spread the message, and Xun Qingran asked someone to go and invite Mrs. Qi Er to quickly. Xun Qingran wanted to catch the gambling group in Shaoyao Pavilion, but it was just to hit Grandma Qi San, but it was just to hit. Who knew that Grandma Qi San's disappearance would be very embarrassing in this situation. Xun Qingran was not good and did not want to take care of it. It was reasonable to ask Mrs. Qi Er to come.
Two groups of people entering Shaoyao Pavilion from the corner of the backyard were already heard by the old lady, so they stopped igniting all the lanterns and torches, which immediately illuminated the Shaoyao Pavilion as if it were daytime.
Xun Qingran also asked all the servants who were serving in the yard to shout, and told the mothers to watch and carefully check the whereabouts of Grandma Qi San.
As a result, all of these people shook their heads and said they didn't know.
A little girl came to report from the backyard, "Go back to grandma, I found the gambling creep. Madam Tong, Madam Song had already brought people to surround the house and asked her if she would bring the person here or if she would go over and take a look."
"Did you find the third grandma?" Xun Qingran asked.
The little girl shook her head, "I searched all the backyard, but I couldn't find the third grandma."
Xun Qingran frowned. Where can Grandma Qi San hide? Could it be that she really left Shaoyao Pavilion? No. She had just arrived at Shaoyao Pavilion for the first time, and had already quietly arranged people around her. If someone came in and out, she should know.
No matter what, first go and see how big the gambling nest was. The little girl led the way in front, and Xun Qingran led people through the moon gate and came to the backyard. She saw a few short buildings on the west side, and the people brought by Xun Qingran held lanterns and torches surrounded outside.
When Tong's family was at the door, they saw Xun Qingran coming and hurriedly came over, "Grandma, this nest was taken away by a slave. The slave took someone and didn't let anyone run out. The big head family is Po Zi Cai."
The Tong family's excited face turned red, and Xun Qingran knew that she was here to show her merit. After all, the news about the gambling group was provided by her, and she rushed to the front even if she arrested people, which was naturally a great contribution.
Xun Qingran stepped into the house, and Tong's family pointed to a pile of coarse cloth on the large kang beside the window for Xun Qingran to see, "Grandma, this group of people are really cunning. They are afraid that people will see the lights in the house, so they deliberately sealed the black cloth to the window. No wonder those who usually patrol nights don't know where they are."
Madam Song, Dong'er, Baozhu and others also came to see him.
Xun Qingran waved his hand, asked them to avoid gifts, and then looked around. The short house was opened with several rooms, with about eight or nine charcoal basins gathered inside the house, a round table on the ground, a square table on the kang, and all of them were scattered with gambling tools and silver. Seven or eight people were squatting in the corner of the house, each of which was tied up. Xun Qingran looked over and saw half of them very familiar, the manager who was doing things every day, and the other was very handsome.
An old lady brought the Grand Master's chair, and Xun Qingran sat down at the round table, reached out and scattered on the table, there were large ingots, small ingots, scattered silver, and even a few silver notes. Xun Qingran glanced at it and found that the gambling money on the two tables was enough to be seven or eight hundred taels of silver. Xun Qingran couldn't help but think to himself that the servants of the Duke's Mansion were indeed rich.
Xun Qingran was impatient to interrogate these people and only handed them to Madam Song. Madam Song and Maldone called the people who caught aside, interrogated them carefully, and recorded the gambling money one by one.
Xun Qingran sat next to her casually. When she looked down inadvertently, she saw a piece of red color under the table with dark green tablecloths. Xun Qingran couldn't help but look carefully, but it turned out to be a corner of the pomegranate red dark patterned gray squirrel leather skirt.
Someone is hiding under the table!
Xun Qingran was about to ask someone to arrest him. When she thought of the texture of the skirt, she gave up and stood up and walked out. She just raised her foot and took it back, and she still sat on the chair, pretending that she hadn't seen anything.
The mother outside came in and reported that it was Mrs. Qi Er who was here.
Xun Qingran hurriedly got up, took Mrs. Qi Er in, and let her sit on the Grand Master's chair.
"What's going on? Didn't it mean that the third grandma is missing? Why did she catch another gambling nest?"
"Reply to my wife, that's the case." Xun Qingran asked Grandma Qi San to get sick and sent someone to find medicine. She came to visit her and asked for an imperial physician for Grandma Qi San. Grandma Qi San said she was afraid of trouble and refused.
"I was honest at that time. After returning to Ningyuanju, I thought about my third sister-in-law's appearance and couldn't feel at ease. So I sent someone to invite an imperial physician. I took someone to see my third sister-in-law first. Who knew that when I arrived at my third sister-in-law's door, I called for a long time, but no one opened the door. In the end, Aunt Yan opened the door. When I went in, I saw that there was only a little girl in the room, but my third sister-in-law was not sure where? I asked the girl, and the girl refused to speak, and finally said that she didn't know anything. This was the first time that my wife encountered such a thing. My wife was frightened and had to be suspicious. She quickly asked someone to invite her wife, and she asked people to search everywhere. Until now, she still couldn't find her third sister-in-law, but she accidentally caught the gambling nest." Xun Qingran said.
"That's the case!" said Mrs. Qi Er, "Go and invite the eldest wife."
After sending someone to invite the eldest wife, Mrs. Qi Er turned her eyes to the person tied on the ground and two gambling tables.
Xun Qingran waved to the Tong family.
The Tong family wanted to have the opportunity to offer their diligence, "Madam, look," the Tong family showed the black cloth to Mrs. Qi Er, and then explained in detail how cunning the gambler was, how big the bet in this nest, how difficult it was to catch it.
Mrs. Qi Er had eyes, so she naturally saw it in her eyes, and her face became a little more gloomy.
"We are good at treating you all the time, yellow and white, food and clothing, for fear of being wronged. In the past, we always cried poorly, but it turned out that all the money was spent here."
These people were tied up, and after hearing what Mrs. Qi said, he was busy begging for mercy. Some said, "Madam, this is my first time, please forgive me." Some said, "I'm wronged. I just passed by here and came in to take a look, and I didn't gamble."
Xun Qingran wanted to laugh when she heard this, and thought to herself, "You might as well say that you are passing by and making soy sauce."
After a while, the eldest wife came with someone, and Mrs. Qi Er talked about the matter with the eldest wife.
"How is this good? I have never encountered such a thing. I want to tell the old lady, but I am afraid that the old lady will not be able to bear it. What should I do?" Mrs. Qi Er said to the eldest lady.
"The person is indeed gone?" the eldest lady frowned.
Xun Qingran immediately asked someone to bring the little girl and Aunt Yan. The little girl had woken up and still said that she didn't know anything. Aunt Yan was even more straightforward, and she still closed her eyes and couldn't wake up no matter how she called.
"Take it out, and you will wake up after the wind blows." A woman wearing a blue wool beside the eldest lady said.
Someone dragged Aunt Yan to throw it out, but Aunt Yan still didn't respond.
"It's not possible!" A little girl knelt on the ground, "Reply to the wife, my aunt has not changed her clothes this month. She is about to go back to the wife, so she asks the doctor to see her pulse."
The eldest lady frowned and said nothing. The woman who was dragging people lightly put her hands and placed Aunt Yan on the big kang next to her.
Xun Qingran had to sigh that a woman's belly is such a omnipotent amulet. An aunt has not yet confirmed her pregnancy, but she has not changed her clothes. Perhaps no one can touch her if she is pregnant. Xun Qingran couldn't help but look at the girl. She was only in her early 10 years old and had a clever look on her face. She has been with Aunt Yan. Although the little girl is young, she is a little more scheming and has a very good mastery of her speaking art.
I couldn't ask anything from the servant's mouth, so the eldest lady ordered someone to search the Shaoyao Pavilion carefully again, but there was still nothing.
"Send someone to the front and ask the third master." The eldest lady ordered, and said to the second lady again: "It's so cold here. Second lady, let's wait for news in front."
"Okay." Mrs. Qi Er said.
Xun Qingran signaled Baozhu to take people to clean up the table, and helped Mrs. Qi Er in front of him, and several of them walked out.
Just after a bang, it turned out that several mothers were rushing to clean up the table and accidentally knocked it over.
"Oh, why is there one hidden here?" someone exclaimed.
