Chapter 138: This Person
"Sister-in-law, are these... all true?" Shan Xi felt that this account book was even more outrageous than the sketchbook.
Besides, are all these things really done by a single butler?
Butler Shan doesn't look like this kind of person on a normal day?! Shan Xi recalled the appearance of Butler Shan in his mind, and then thought about what was written in the account book, and found that he couldn't connect the two together.
Although I am reluctant to destroy Shan Xi's fragile heart, she has experienced the test of life and death, so it is not impossible for her to experience the test of humanity again.
"It's all real. These account books are physical evidence, and I also found some witnesses."
Although the old lady's heart no longer hurt, she still felt uncomfortable.
''Where are the Shanguan family members now?''
"I have arrested them." Song Qingci continued, "Not only Butler Shan, but I have arrested all the people involved in this matter."
After spending so much time planning and acting, if she still let the person escape, she would be too useless. She would never dare to say that she was from Lingxiao again.
"Grandma, are you going to interrogate him personally?" Song Qingci saw what the old lady was thinking and spoke directly for her.
Sure enough, the old lady nodded and said, "Bring the person up here. I want to ask him in person."
This housekeeper Shan is also an old man in the mansion. He followed the old general at first, but later the general went to the border town and kept him there.
He was also given great power and was made the steward of the general's mansion.
But who could have thought that such a person could do so many things silently over the years.
"Okay, grandma, I'll have them brought up right away. But you must take care of yourself and don't get angry. There's no need to get angry with these people. Whatever a person wants to do is his own choice, and it has nothing to do with anyone or anything. There's no need to get angry about other people's affairs."
After hearing what Song Qingci said, the old lady felt a lot more relieved.
People are like this most of the time. They understand the truth, but they just can't convince themselves. But if someone else says the same thing, the effect may be very different.
Yinxing soon returned with Butler Shan and those people in the mansion who were in cahoots with Butler Shan.
Lou also came with them, and she was holding a few booklets in her hands.
Before Lou had the chance to greet the old lady, the people who were brought here all knelt down the moment they saw the old lady.
They kept kowtowed and said they were innocent. They said they didn't know how they had offended the young lady and were arrested for no reason. They hoped that the old lady could help them and clear their name.
They all worked for the General's Mansion. If they were arrested like this, many things would be delayed.
For a moment, the entire Jing'an Hall was noisy and noisy.
Seeing this, Lou didn't know how to continue the greeting. She just nodded to Song Qingci and the others as a greeting and sat down at a seat nearby.
"Enough!" the old lady slammed the table and shouted.
In an instant, all the sounds stopped. Jing'an Hall fell silent.
Butler Shan was kneeling at the front. He was the only one who had not said a word since he first came in. He was just kneeling with no extra expression on his face.
The old lady looked around and finally landed on Butler Shan. She asked, "Do you have anything to say today?"
As for the other people, the old lady was only familiar with their faces, and for some she couldn't even remember their names, but Shan Huairen was an old man in the general's mansion.
If something happened in this house, she would suspect anyone except him.
Over the years, no matter what happened outside, the general's mansion had always been peaceful. A large part of the reason was because of Butler Shan.
The adult males in the general's mansion are not in the mansion all year round, so the butler represents the male side to a certain extent.
Butler Shan then raised his head and looked at the old lady. For the first time, he showed a look of shame on his face. Soon, he lowered his head again and slowly uttered four words, "Nothing to say."
"Okay." The old lady pointed at the account books and said, "Do you plead guilty?!"
Butler Shan nodded and said, "I plead guilty."
When the others heard that Butler Shan confessed so easily, they all panicked.
They all work behind Butler Shan. If Butler Shan doesn't try to explain himself, what should they do?
"Confess? Confess what?!" Bao Er was the first to lose his temper. He started yelling. He pushed Shan Guanjia from behind, almost knocking him sideways.
"We didn't do anything, why should we plead guilty? This young lady had us arrested for no reason. I don't accept it! Besides, this housekeeper's affair has nothing to do with us. Even if he pleads guilty, what does it have to do with us? We know nothing."
Bao Er said this, not only including himself, but also dragging everyone else into it. He is indeed a cunning person.
Bao Er is a small steward who is in charge of the concierge in the General's Mansion. He has been working in the General's Mansion for more than ten years.
His full name is Bao Zhuzi, and he is the second child in his family, so everyone is used to calling him Bao Er. He was originally a refugee, whom the old general met on his way back to Beijing to report on his work.
The whole family suffered, leaving only him and his wife.
The old general felt sorry for him and took him back to the general's mansion.
The couple both worked in the general's mansion. Bao Er was very quick on his feet and had a sharp tongue, so he was assigned to the gatehouse. He worked there for more than ten years. He gradually became a small steward of the gatehouse from a gate boy.
His wife was also assigned to work in the kitchen in the inner courtyard.
At first I was doing odd jobs, and later I gradually became a little steward in the kitchen.
Normally, although the couple worked in the general's mansion, they lived in different places. In order to make it easier for them to work, one of them stayed in the inner courtyard and the other in the outer courtyard.
The couple can only see each other and talk during the mid-month break.
So the only person brought this time was Bao Er. After investigation, it turned out that his wife knew nothing about his affairs.
"You didn't do anything?" Song Qingci looked at Bao Er and smiled meaningfully.
She stood up, walked to the pile of account books and began to search through them.
But after a while she pulled out a half-new booklet and quickly flipped through several pages, and finally found what she wanted.
He threw it directly in front of Bao Er, "Do you want to take a look at this first?!"
