"Get up," Mr. Liu Er called to Manager Jin, "I ask you, why did you do this? What good will it do to you?"

"Who instigated you?" Mrs. Liu San asked next, "Don't hide it. This is a crime of beheading. If you don't tell, you will be sent to the official and your head will fall to the ground."

Manager Jin's arms were tied, and he struggled to get up and kneel on the ground. His eyes were bruised, and his face was bruised and swollen, so it was hard to tell what was wrong with his face. Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu San followed one after another.

When I asked him something, he didn't answer immediately.

"This slave, why don't you say anything to me?" Mr. Liu San said, "It's obvious that he is a naughty man. He was dragged out and beaten a few times, and then he became honest and willing to speak."

"You slave, why don't you tell me quickly?" Liu Yujiang said.

"...No one ordered it, it was the slave who did it himself." Steward Jin lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.

"The second master wants to adopt a stepchild, but what does it have to do with you, a slave? You actually want to commit such an illegal act of beheading?" Master Liu San asked. The words that steward Jin said that no one could support, the people present were afraid that

No one believes it. Because it doesn’t make sense at all. If it weren’t for profit, who would do such a thankless thing.

Manager Jin remained silent for a while.

"Why didn't you say anything? Do you really want to get slapped?" Liu Yujiang asked again.

When interrogating Manager Jin, Liu Yujiang seemed to be more anxious than anyone else in the room.

"I didn't know that I wanted to behead him, but I was just trying to scare him, and I didn't do anything to the child." Manager Jin seemed to think for a moment, and then he spoke again, "The second master adopted a son, and the slaves didn't dare to say anything. But the slaves

I’m not convinced either.”

As Manager Jin spoke, he raised his head and tried to open his heavy eyelids.

"If you have such good men in your family, why would you adopt a boy who has been out of the fifth server? What kind of good family is that? Who doesn't know that the older brother is a good-for-nothing? How can that child be better?

...In the future, I will not only tarnish the reputation of the second master, but also drag down the reputation of the Liu family...Although I am a slave, for the sake of my master, I can't stand it..."

Liu Ruosi almost laughed angrily after hearing this. This slave actually said such nonsense, which was really unexpected. Come to think of it, he must have heard these words said by others. Liu Ruosi moved aside

, glanced at Liu Yujiang. Is this an excuse for him to oppose Liu Yuwen's adoption? In his eyes, is he the only one who can be the heir of Mr. Liu Er?

This is really unreasonable.

"I have never seen such an arrogant slave. He deceives his master so much and doesn't put his master in his eyes. Come on, give him a thumbs up." Liu Ruosi said.

Mrs. Liu San immediately called the woman who was in charge of torture in the yard and dragged Manager Jin out. Then she brought the other two servants up and interrogated them one by one. However, these two people did not ask questions like Manager Jin did.

They were willing to say anything. But these two people only knew that Manager Jin came to them, promised them money, and led them to do this thing. The rest, they didn't know anything else.

"My slave is in charge of things like Manager Jin. I dare not disobey Manager Jin's orders. Master, please forgive me, Madam."

Everyone asked again to confirm that these two people did not know anything more.

The person behind this seemed to have only ordered Manager Jin. He did it very neatly and was obviously very experienced. As long as Manager Jin bites him to death and refuses to spit, he will not be able to find out the person behind it.

This method has a bit of a shadow of the last poisonous horse grass incident. Only that time, the murderer escaped, but this time, he was caught.

After finishing the beating outside, Manager Jin pushed the person in again. Everyone asked again, but Manager Jin kept his mouth tight and kept saying the same thing as before.

"I think the beating was too light," Master Liu San said.

Mr. Liu has been silent. Mr. Liu Er is not good at such things, but Mr. Liu has been an official for several years and has some rules and experience in dealing with such matters. Under severe punishment, he is not afraid of not speaking.

Mr. Liu San told the seriousness of the matter to Manager Jin again, but Manager Jin did not change his story.

"Drag him out, get on the big board, and beat him until he asks." Mr. Liu San simply ordered.

Someone came up and dragged Manager Jin out. Then, the sound of crackling boards was heard outside. Mrs. Liu Er frowned.

"My wife can't bear this, I asked them to take the people away." Liu Yujiang said diligently, and hurriedly went out without waiting for anyone to say anything. After a while, the sound of the board was no longer heard.

Then, Liu Yujiang was brought back.

"Dalang, you can't be soft-hearted towards this slave." Master Liu San said.

"This servant seems to be very close to the uncle." Mrs. Liu San said, her expression and tone were quite meaningful.

"...I also take care of some things. Normally, the servants still respect me. But I don't get close to them. They are just slaves. The third wife treats the people around her well, but I can't say whether being close to them is too flattering and demeaning to them.

I have the third wife." Liu Yujiang said, but he responded to the third wife in a meaningful way, neither softly nor hard.

"Go and see if you are willing to say it." Mr. Liu San said to a boy at the door.

Just as the boy was about to leave, he saw another boy hurriedly coming from outside, knelt down at the door, and reported inside.

"...I'm out of breath..."

"What?" Mr. Liu San stood up. In this moment, the man who hit someone with a stick in the house beat him to death. "But he was breathless. Let's go and take a look and splash him awake."

A few boys ran outside and when they came back, they all shook their heads and said that Manager Jin was really dead.

Mr. Liu San frowned. This time he went out in person. When he came back, his brows furrowed even more. Mrs. Liu San rushed to greet her and asked what was going on.

"He is dead." Mr. Liu San said.

"How is that possible?" Mrs. Liu San asked in surprise.

Mr. Liu San did not speak, but looked up at Liu Yujiang. Liu Yujiang also looked surprised.

"Why did you kill someone?"

Mr. Liu San's eyes were a little cold and stern.

Manager Jin was beaten to death, which meant that we could no longer find out who was behind the scenes. Even if we had suspicions, without this important witness, it would be in vain. Now, we can only find out who was behind the scenes.

Put the matter aside and deal with the aftermath first.

Although he was a slave in the family, if he was really beaten to death, it would be a bit troublesome if he didn't handle it well. The person was beaten on the order of Master Liu San, so Master Liu San took on the responsibility.

"If he did such a thing, it wouldn't be in vain to kill him." Mr. Liu Er said, because it was about matters in his house, so Mr. Liu Er spoke first to prevent Mr. Liu San from being embarrassed. "That's it.

It doesn't matter if you meet an official."

When Mr. Liu Er said this, he set the tone for the aftermath.

Mr. Liu San sent people to the Yamen to handle the relevant matters. As for Manager Jin, they had to bury them hastily. Manager Jin had no family members in the mansion and was alone. This matter was quite clean.

But because something like this happened and someone died, Mr. Liu Er couldn't be completely happy. The matter was almost settled at this point, but everyone stayed with Mr. Liu Er.

Master Liu Er naturally knows the reason.

"The old lady is urging me on the adoption, and it really shouldn't be delayed any longer, so..." Master Liu Er bowed his hands to Master Liu and Master Liu San.

"Uncle, Third Uncle," Liu Ruosi stood up and blessed Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu Third. "What happened now makes my father feel bad. Later, he will naturally tell the uncle and the third uncle.

clear."

"That's the truth." Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu San both stood up, said a few words to comfort Mr. Liu, and together with Mrs. Liu San, they all left.

Rong Chenghan did not leave.

In any case, Liu Yubo and Grandma Madam have no obstacles to adopt Liu Yuwen.

"After weighing the money, let them go." Liu Ruosi discussed with Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er.

Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er both nodded.

…

Outside the capital, on the official road going south, a small mule cart was walking slowly. In the mule cart, it was Liu Yubo and Grandma Ma, and there were several bulging dicks sitting under the two people's buttocks.

The big parcel is exactly the three thousand taels of silver that I just received from Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er.

Liu Yubo's expression was a little strange. He kept touching the packages in his hands and hugged another package simply in his arms. Grandma Ma was sitting cross-legged, but she was crying. She was crying for her children.

.

The two people didn't know at this time that their child had been rescued. Because of Liu Ruosi's instructions, no one in the Liu family told them the news.

Liu Yubo seemed to be annoyed by Madam/Grandma’s crying.

"Why cry? The child is gone. Can you cry back? You can do it again later." It seems that with this money, Liu Yubo has the courage to reprimand the Martha/grandma who he has always been afraid of.

"...I'm pregnant in ten months...you heartless..." Grandma scolded me.

"...That's still my brother's. From now on, I'll sell it to others..."

The two people were tangled up in confusion when they heard the sound of horse hooves on the official road. After a while, they arrived and the mule cart was forced to stop.

"Get off the car..." I heard someone coming outside.

After hearing this voice, Liu Yubo and Madam/Grandma's faces turned pale. Although they had not heard this voice much, it was deeply engraved in their minds. To them, this voice was comparable to ten

Temple Yama is the voice urging death.

The two of them trembled into a ball, and the bag of silver in Liu Yubo's arms also rolled down.

As expected, they couldn't take away this money! At this moment, Liu Yubo and Grandma Ma fell into bottomless despair. They no longer had any thoughts of wealth and glory. They just wanted to survive.

"You haven't come out yet, I won't wait until I invite you." A big hand like a basket opened the car curtain, and then Liu Yubo and Madam Madam rolled out of the car like two balls of mud.
