Chapter 778 780. Well Calculated
"But the source we found out was indeed the old woman next to Madam Liang who leaked it out," Ming Hai said, "But I didn't ask my subordinates to withdraw. I asked them to continue to keep an eye on this old woman."
Gu Wenheng, "You've worked hard these days, but don't relax over there, keep watching."
After Minghai and the housekeeper left, Jin Qianqian said, "I have a feeling that this was definitely not done by Madam Liang."
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "Since someone wants to cause trouble, I have to cooperate.
Don't worry, since they want to drag Governor Liang into this, I will do whatever they want."
Jin Qianqian, "Do you want to go directly to Governor Liang?"
"If someone wants to see us two fight, it means they are ready to offend us.
I guess Governor Liang is unwilling to take the blame for others."
…
Liangshi certainly didn't want to take the blame, so he immediately called his wife and the old woman over.
Lay out the matter in front of Gu Wenheng and his wife.
Liang He was bewildered. Earlier in the backyard, she had been chatting enthusiastically with her niece as if it were a joke. She was just about to watch the show, waiting to see how Jin Qianqian would end up this time.
It's only been a day or two, how come it's found on me? And it's related to me?
She turned to look at the maid who came with her as a dowry, "Mrs. Dong, what is going on? I didn't ask you to do these things."
Mother Dong knelt down in front of everyone and kowtowed repeatedly, "I don't know, I really don't know, I just heard people talking about it and said a few words, but I really didn't say it first."
When Liang He saw that no one said anything, she knew that they were dissatisfied.
But this is her man, and if she doesn't make things clear today, she will have to bear all the blame.
"Then tell me who said that to you.
Otherwise, I can’t protect you and can only hand you over to the master.”
"Madam, I don't know who the other person is. I went to the cosmetics store and accidentally heard someone talk about it. I just thought it was interesting, so I told others as gossip. I really don't know.
It's the cosmetics shop at the east end of the street. I think the owner should know who it is." Mrs. Dong was anxious. If she handed herself over to the master, even if she could save her life, she would still be in trouble.
"How dare you spread it everywhere without knowing the source?" Liang He felt a tightness in his chest.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew at this moment that she was being tricked by someone else.
She wanted to believe Mrs. Dong, but the master and Lord Gu obviously didn't believe it.
At this moment, she could no longer care about being polite. She raised her foot and kicked Mrs. Dong. "Think about it carefully. It's impossible that they were in the same shop. You didn't see the person, but only heard the sound?"
“I really didn’t notice it. The other person had his back to me at that time, and when I left, he didn’t even turn his head.
Madam, I really did not lie, the owner of the cosmetics shop was there at the time."
Liang He looked at Liang Shi at this time, "Master, why don't you call the shopkeeper over to ask him? I really didn't instruct the maid to do such a thing.
You'd better ask someone to clarify, otherwise I will be wronged."
Liangshi had already asked someone to bring people over when Dong Pozi mentioned the cosmetics shop.
Fortunately, the shop was not far from his residence, and the owner of the cosmetics shop arrived soon.
Manager Xiao of the cosmetics shop was sweating profusely at this time. Besides the fact that he was brought here by running all the way, he was also nervous because he was called here suddenly.
"Bye, hello to both of you gentlemen." Shopkeeper Xiao didn't know how to greet them, so he just knelt in front of them.
Liang Shi snorted coldly, "This woman said that she heard some gossip in your shop, and now I want you to come over and confront her. If you can find the person, I will remember your merit."
Shopkeeper Xiao was groaning inwardly. He faced all kinds of people in the shop all day long. There must be dozens of them in a day, if not a hundred. How could he possibly remember them all?
He turned his head to take a look and the woman kneeling beside him looked somewhat familiar.
Liang He reminded the still dazed Dong Pozi, "Tell the shopkeeper everything about when you met the person in his shop."
Mrs. Dong came to her senses, quickly grabbed Shopkeeper Xiao's hand, and said in a hurry, "I came to your shop early in the morning on the ninth day of this month..."
After listening for a while, Shopkeeper Xiao's impression of Mrs. Dong deepened, and he slowly recalled that day, "I do remember you. You opened a shop for me at that time. As a result, the business that day was very good, and I never stopped..."
Ryoshi, "…Just tell me, do you still remember the two customers who said that?"
“After she reminded me of this, Xiao Mo actually had some impression.
There were just too many customers entering the shop, and the other party didn't buy anything, so I didn't look at them for long. So many days have passed, and I still have no impression of it in my mind. I just know that it seemed like there were these two people in the store at the same time.
As for what the other person said or what he looked like, I really don’t remember it when I was little.”
Shopkeeper Xiao also complained in his heart. He was busy with the business in the store every day, so how could he possibly remember what everyone looked like.
Not to mention that he has to take care of his business, so he doesn't have the time to listen to other people chatting.
Obviously, Governor Liang was not satisfied with his answer. "If you shield others, I will punish you."
"Sir, what I said is true. My cosmetics shop is doing pretty well. There are so many customers coming and going every day that I can't remember them all.
But the wonton stand across from me is right in front of my shop, maybe someone will remember it."
Shopkeeper Xiao said quickly, "Many customers who bought cosmetics from me would also go to his stall to eat a bowl of wontons. I wonder if the owner of that stall has any impression of him."
"Go and bring the person here. I don't believe that I can't get to the bottom of the matter today." When Liangshi heard this, he knew that this old lady Dong had fallen into someone else's trap.
Just as Gu Wenheng analyzed, if the other party is determined, it would be difficult to investigate further after finding out here.
But he just didn't believe it. Footsteps leave footprints on stones, and passing geese leave shadows. Those two people couldn't just appear out of thin air.
Obviously, the other party had made preparations long ago. Until nightfall, the people sent by Governor Liang had no news at all.
Gu Wenheng had known that this would be the result, and his coming here today was also a gesture.
“It seems that the other party is more cunning than I thought, and is trying to point all the contradictions to your house.
Sir Liang, we naturally believe that your wife would not stir up trouble without reason, but the other party fabricated such rumors, and his heart is damnable. "
Liang He, who was accompanying her, took the opportunity to prove her innocence, "Master Gu, there is no hatred between our two families, so I will naturally not target you."
