Chapter 32 An Accidental Success
Jiu Ye immediately said: "It's true, Fourth Brother, we just happened to see that this woman is good-looking and mute, and you just happen to have that fetish..."
"Hmm?" The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes.
Jiu Ye swallowed his saliva: "It's not a habit, it's just, a coincidence..."
Tenth Master: "Fourth Brother, we were really wrong. Can't we just not go to the disaster relief?"
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and said, "You can go to disaster relief if you want to, and not go if you want to?"
The Tenth Master was about to cry. He pursed his lips and looked at the Fourth Master: "Fourth Brother, what do you say? We'll listen to you."
The Fourth Master thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins. After midnight today, you two will secretly come to my house and go out with me to do some work."
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master were both stunned: "What business?"
The Fourth Master said with a sluggish face: "Don't you want to go to the disaster relief together? Let me see what you can do."
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master looked at each other, wondering what happened to the Fourth Brother?
He just looked like he wanted to kill them both, but now he wants to take them out to provide disaster relief?
In fact, this time going out to provide disaster relief was a matter of great importance. The emperor took a long time to choose someone and finally decided on my fourth brother.
The other brothers were also watching, like the eldest brother, the eighth brother, the third brother, and the fifth brother, all were waiting.
Originally, they came to Fourth Brother with the mentality of giving it a try, but they didn't expect that Fourth Brother was really willing to take them with him.
Jiu Ye carefully looked at Si Ye's expression, as if he was afraid that Si Ye would say something that he couldn't fulfill in the next second.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes at them and asked, "Why don't you two want to go?"
"I want to go, I want to go!"
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master nodded vigorously.
Fourth Master: "Since you are willing to do this, I can take you to try it first. Come over in the evening. Remember, no one else is allowed to know.
After hearing this, Master Jiu and Master Shi nodded happily.
Then the Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "Go back now."
I didn’t get enough rest yesterday. I’m very tired and want to sleep for a while.
Remembering something, the Fourth Master pointed at the mute girl kneeling on the ground with a look of annoyance: "Take this person away too."
Jiu Ye glanced at Si Ye cautiously and said, "Fourth Brother, how about you accept it?"
If you think about it carefully, there is no reason for Fourth Brother to help them.
Could it be that it was because the mute girl gave the right gift?
The Fourth Master glared at him and stretched out his arm to hit him. The Ninth Master was so scared that he immediately jumped several steps away.
"Who bought this person?" asked the Fourth Master in a deep voice.
"The money he spent!"
“He made me buy it!”
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master were pointing at each other, but no one was willing to stand up.
Seeing that the Fourth Master's face was not looking good, the Tenth Master took a step forward with a sad face: "Fourth Brother, it was me who spent the money..."
The Fourth Master nodded: "As long as someone recognizes him, you can take him in."
Then he waved his hand, rather impatiently: "Hurry up and go."
After going out, Master Jiu and Master Shi each wiped their sweat.
Today was so thrilling.
The Ninth Master glanced at the mute girl behind him again and bumped into the Tenth Master: "What does Fourth Brother mean? Does he want you to stay in the backyard as a concubine?"
Master Shi scratched his forehead and said, "That's what you mean, right?"
Jiu Ye was also confused and had no idea what Fourth Brother was up to.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Whatever Fourth Brother says is what it is. I'll just do as he says, as long as we can go to the disaster relief together."
The mute girl following behind them couldn't help but look back several times.
Today her thoughts really went through many twists and turns.
She thought that if two handsome young men bought her, she would have a good life in the future.
Who knew that these two people would actually send him to someone to be tortured.
She thought he was an old man, but she didn't expect him to be tall and handsome.
He even punished the two young masters.
Thinking of becoming a concubine of such a man in the future, she was naturally willing.
Unexpectedly, that man didn't want her.
However, after all, I have found a home. This young man is also good-looking. If there were no comparison, I would naturally be happy. But now I feel a little lost.
As for the Fourth Master, after seeing off the Ninth and Tenth Masters, he lay down on the bed and took a nap.
When he got up again, Su Peisheng had already arranged the meal.
After serving the Fourth Master a meal, Su Peisheng finally approached him cautiously and tremblingly took out the confession from his arms: "Master, I accidentally got a confession from the steward who embezzled money before."
"Manager?" The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Master, I am guilty. I did not tell you during the private interrogation, but this confession is a bit strange.
The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.
The last time you went hunting with Master Qi, he accidentally injured his leg. I'm afraid this wasn't an accident, but a man-made one."
The Fourth Master's expression was stern: "Show it to me!"
As he finished reading the confession, the Fourth Master's face gradually became gloomy.
After a long while, the Fourth Master said in a deep voice, "The way you eat is a little too ugly."
Su Peisheng frowned as well. "Master, do you suspect that the Prince of Dazhi is involved? But why would the Prince of Zhi want to harm the Seventh Master?"
"Will he go after the Seventh Brother?" The Fourth Master sneered, "Nine out of ten times, he's going after me."
"You did a good job on this matter, and there is a reward."
The Fourth Master suddenly looked at Su Peisheng in confusion: "Why did you think of interrogating that steward?"
Su Peisheng replied cautiously, "Master, it was you who said to hang this man up, water him, and give him medicine...
Unexpectedly, the effect was exceptionally good, and soon he confessed, saying that he had tampered with Qi Ye's horse."
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, a small face appeared in his mind, and he suddenly shook his head and laughed: "It turned out to be a lucky coincidence."
Su Peisheng was listening nearby, and he finally felt relieved.
Because he misunderstood, not only was he not punished, but he was praised and rewarded by his master.
This is the first time in more than ten years of following my master.
The Fourth Master took the confession and looked at it carefully. Suddenly he realized something was wrong and stood up suddenly.
"Let's go to Old Seven's house."
He always felt a little uneasy.
If he was really coming for me, how could he just let it go so easily?
“Ouch~”
At the gate of the Seventh Master's mansion, the Fourth Master grabbed the reins and dismounted.
"Fourth brother, how come you have time to come here today?"
The Seventh Master was supported by a servant and limped out to greet the Fourth Master.
He was wearing a moon-white robe today, looking very refined, not like a prince, but more like a scholar.
When he saw the Fourth Master, a smile appeared on his face.
The Fourth Master took two quick steps to help him up and glanced at his feet: "Is the injury so serious?"
Qi Ye glanced at it nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing serious. It will be fine in two days."
Then he said happily: "Fourth brother, you came at the right time. I have made a new trick recently. It is just right for you to help me take a look and give me some advice."
The Fourth Master nodded slightly and followed him into the house.
