The beam of a classroom in the school fell and killed six children and a teacher. The official office www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion has already come to investigate, and if you are not careful, the reputation of the Hou Mansion is very likely to be harmed. Li Chengqi has just left, and such a big thing happened at home, which can be said to be a big problem for Shen Yan and Li Chengmao.

"Mrs. Ohira, what's wrong?" Zhong Ce saw that Shen Yan's expression was wrong, and he hurriedly asked tentatively.

Shen Yan thought about it, simply told him what happened in the school, and then asked him: "Now in the yamen, are there any acquaintances you know?" ”

Zhong Ce shook his head, "In the past two years in Ning'an City, the Hou Mansion has never happened like this, I am in Yamen, and I really have no acquaintances." "He's clearly lying.

"Steward Zhong, you have disappointed me so much." Shen Yan thought that when this matter passed, she must find a way to replace him, since he refused to be used by her, it would be a stumbling block in the Hou Mansion, and there was only the fate of being moved.

"It's me who is incompetent." Although Zhong Ce looked guilty, he had an attitude of watching how she ended up.

"Xiyu, let's go to the school." Shen Yan got up coldly and went out with Xiyu. Walking outside, she gave Xiyu another task: "Go and invite Steward Feng to the school." Steward Feng has been with my father for so many years, and he must know a few people in the officialdom, I am only worried about ......" She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No matter, you just go and invite her." ”

"I'll go." Xiyu said that he flew away.

Shen Yan came to the school alone and saw the bodies of the six children. Among them, one had a different head, two were blurred and unrecognizable, and three were cut off by the waist...... The scene was particularly terrifying. Shen Yan looked at it. Immediately skimmed his face and couldn't bear to look at it directly. However, the death of six children. It was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

When Li Chengmao heard that she was coming, he hurried over. He wanted to stop her. She was not allowed to see the children's miserable condition, but when he hurried there, it was too late. "Sister-in-law......" he called softly, "let's go out and talk." ”

Shen Yan held back her tears and walked out with him, and when she raised her eyes to look at him again, her eyes were already full of crystal things, "How could it be...... How could the beams fall suddenly? ”

"The beam was eaten by termites and broke." Li Chengmao's words were dumbfounded, for those unfortunate children. He was very heavy and remorseful.

"How can there be termites? How can there be termites next to the classroom beams that don't bite? Shen Yan was puzzled, but she was very excited, and her tone was almost full of resentment. She is a mother who knows what it means to have children, even though they are orphans without parents...... Those kids. Like her child, she was so sad.

"Blame me for not doing a good job...... I didn't expect that. Li Chengmao became even more apologetic.

At this time, Lian Ying and Zhili ran out. They went straight to Shen Yan and hugged her waist. Crying: "We're so scared of ......"

Shen Yan's tears finally burst out of her eyes at this moment. She stroked Lian Ying and Zhili's heads and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." It's okay, it won't be in the future. ”

"Mrs. Ohira." Lian Ying raised his eyes and called, and then looked around at the timid Dao. "Someone is going to kill me and Zhili, can we stay with you?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan and Li Chengmao glanced at each other. Shen Yan squatted down, frowned and asked Lian Ying: "Who wants to kill you?" ”

Lian Ying shook his head, "He covered his face, we can't see clearly." ”

"Why did I kill you? How do you know? Li Chengqi asked.

"At the beginning of the month, Zhili and I saw someone climb onto the roof of the classroom and put something on it, and he found it." Lian Ying said.

Zhili nodded and added: "It's all because Lian Ying was careless, he didn't sneeze early, and he had to sneeze at that time before we were discovered." Luckily I took him to run fast, otherwise we would have seen Hades long ago. Many days later, we all saw a man in black wandering around the school, just afraid that he was looking for me to win with Lian Ying. ”

The words of the two children undoubtedly provided important clues to Li Chengmao and Shen Yan. Otherwise, if this is regarded as an accident, the Hou Mansion will find someone to bear the blame. The school was run by Li Chengmao, and at that time, Li Chengmao, the son of the Li family, was afraid that he would have to eat a lot of swearing.

Soon, they brought Lian Ying and Zhili to Lin Zhutou, who was sent by the Yamen to investigate the matter, and asked the two children to explain in detail what they had seen. Lin Zhutou listened, and really smelled an unusual smell at the broken part of the beam.

"Termites don't get into a newly built house, let alone a beam. It must be the smell that attracts termites that makes this happen. Shen Yan said and asked: "Lin Zhutou, you must help the Hou Mansion arrest the harmful person, return the Hou Mansion to justice, and let the heroic spirits of the six children let go of the resentment in their hearts and die happily." ”

"Mrs. Ohira rest assured." Lin Zhutou said respectfully, "I must find out about this matter, but there are some things in the future, which may still require the cooperation of the Hou Mansion, especially these two children, and I hope that Mrs. Daping and the second master can give it enough convenience." ”

"That's for sure." Li Chengmao hurriedly said, "Everything is hard to catch the head." ”

"It should." Lin Zhutou smiled at Shen Yan as he spoke, "When Shen Zhizhou was alive, he promoted me a lot, and now that Mrs. Daping is in trouble, I will definitely do my best to solve your problems." ”

It turned out that he was a person who had been taken care of by Shen Yan's father, Shen Shichong. Hearing this, Shen Yan's heart relaxed a lot.

Not long after, Xiyu came with Steward Feng. As soon as Steward Feng came, Lin Zhutou stepped forward to greet him in a friendly manner. On the way, Steward Feng probably listened to what happened to Xiyu, and when he saw that it was Lin Zhutou who was investigating the matter, he pulled him aside and gave him some advice.

Immediately, he came to Shen Yan and greeted her and Li Chengmao. After that, she said directly to Shen Yan: "In addition to Lin Zhutou in the yamen, I am familiar with it, and the new Zhizhou Zhuang Xi was also the master's guest. In this matter, the young lady and the second master can only rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan was even more relieved. She thought for a while and said, "Steward Feng, I asked Xiyu to summon you, there is another matter." ”

"Miss just say." Steward Feng said.

"I want to ask you to help in the Hou Mansion and be the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion." Shen Yan said.

Don't say that Steward Feng felt sudden when he heard this, even Li Chengmao felt sudden when he heard this. He immediately asked Shen Yan: "Sister-in-law is going to dismiss Steward Zhong?" I'm afraid that the eldest lady won't agree. ”

Shen Yan sneered, "I know that Steward Zhong was a member of the Li family when the old marquis was young, even if he has no merit and hard work, the old lady will not agree to dismiss him." Since he refuses to do things for me, and I can't dismiss him, it's all right for me to hire another butler. ”

"Two butlers?" Steward Feng was shocked by her bold approach.

Li Chengmao suddenly said, "Two housekeepers, why not?" There has never been any rule that a large family is allowed to have only one housekeeper. ”

He knew that it would be flexible, and Shen Yan was very pleased.

When she returned to the Hou Mansion from the school, she brought Lian Ying and Zhili, and Steward Feng with her. When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, she took them straight to Fushoutang. As soon as she entered Fushoutang, she unexpectedly saw that her son Li Han was being amused by Jiao's family. When the nurse saw her, she hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "The old lady misses the eldest son, so she asked me to send him over." ”

Shen Yan thought about it and said with a smile: "It's okay." Since the old lady likes Han'er, she will bring Han'er over more in the future. ”

Seeing that she didn't have a look of resentment, the nurse was relieved and retreated.

From the moment she entered the house, Jiao didn't look at her squarely. But she didn't care, just stepped forward to explain her intentions. Hearing that she wanted to take the two children with her for the time being, and wanted to invite Steward Feng to the Hou Mansion to do things, Jiao's Fang looked at her, "Have you decided?" Now that you've decided, don't consult with me. If you consult with me, then I will tell you that I will not agree to hire a butler. In the Ning'an Hou Mansion, it is impossible to have two housekeepers. ”

"Steward Feng's monthly salary will be deducted from my monthly salary." Shen Yan knew that she couldn't persuade this old lady, so she didn't work in vain. After saying this, he motioned for the two children and Steward Feng to go with him.

Li Chengmao wanted to help say a few words to persuade Jiao's family, but he didn't expect Shen Yan to be so decisive. Jiao didn't expect that she thought she would argue with herself for a few words, and then she took the opportunity to embarrass her and make her unable to get off the stage, and the moment she turned to leave, she regretted that she said the previous sentence.

And just when she was angry, Li Han smiled innocently at her. This smile made her laugh no matter how angry she was. She pinched his face and said with a smile: "You bad thing, you know that your mother made grandma angry, so you coaxed grandma, didn't you?" Bad. ”

Outside Fushoutang, Steward Feng said to Shen Yan: "Miss, I don't want the salary, when the master was alive, the reward given to me was enough for my two lifetimes." In the Hou Mansion, as long as she can help Miss, Miss just has to say it. ”

Shen Yan smiled gratefully, only feeling that in this world, it was enough to have a few people who treated themselves so sincerely.

The matter of the school was quickly convicted of the masked man in black that Lian Ying and Zhili had seen, Li Chengmao stayed out of the matter, and the Hou Mansion was also calm.

However, a few days after the incident, a holy decree came from the capital, removing Zhizhou Zhuang Xi from his official position, and at the same time, the new Zhizhou arrived.

The new Zhizhou's name is Gu Yuan, and he is Gu Chongzhi's cousin. He has no talent and no virtue, he doesn't know a few words, and he can do the post of Shangzhizhou, all of which was given by Gu Chongzhi, who was the prime minister at the time.

What made Shen Yan and Li Chengmao headache was that he didn't take office early or late, and as soon as he arrived, he still held on to the case in the school. He insisted that the Hou Mansion cut corners when building the school, and it was at this time that there was such a big murder. He also said righteously: "Even if the Ning'an Hou Mansion has a gold medal for avoiding death, I will make your crimes public." (To be continued.) )
