Wen Qian hurriedly found his eldest brother before the lock. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The housekeeper Ji Zhong was checking the accounts when he heard a knock on the door and said "Come in".

Wen Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked left and right, and didn't see anyone else before he panicked and said, "Big brother, something strange happened."

Ji Zhong looked up at him, raised his chin and motioned for him to sit, and said, "What's so flustered?"

Wen Qian was in the mood to sit down and speak slowly, walked up to him and whispered, "There is a wanted notice posted on West Street today, and the person on it is actually my family Qingyun, you say it's not weird."

Ji Zhong was surprised: "What? What do you say" he suspected that his ear had misheard.

"The portrait of my family Qingyun is on the wanted warrant, it says that it is a murder, a crime committed in Jizhou Mansion, and it is also said that it is a demon who is haunted, I asked her, she has not been out of the house for a month, how can she have anything to do with her, this is really ridiculous", Wen Qian looked anxious and resentful in his heart.

Ji Zhong looked at him strangely and shook his head in confusion: "How is this possible"!

He thought the same as Wen Qian, his first thought was that someone wanted to frame them, and then he thought that even if someone was looking for trouble with them, there was no need to start with a little girl.

Wen Qian walked back and forth nervously, and analyzed, "It's the Lishu people who can't retaliate, it stands to reason that anyone can retaliate, how can it be Qingyun, I really can't figure it out."

Ji Zhong pondered for a while, knowing that he would not make such a joke.

After guessing all kinds of possibilities in his heart, Shen shook his head with a face: "No, it's not them, don't guess here, you have to go to the yamen immediately to ask for clarification, you can know so quickly that others can too, maybe it will spread tomorrow, and then it will become a big trouble."

"Yes, yes, I just came to ask the eldest brother for an idea, I know that the eldest brother has a relationship with the yamen, and I came to ask the eldest brother." Wen Qian pinned his hopes on his eldest brother, you must know that this wanted warrant is not a trivial matter, it is to kill the head, and then it will affect the family, which is really wronged.

Ji Zhong waved his hand, put away the accounts on the table, and said, "Why are you and my brother talking about this, it's only serious to figure things out quickly."

He took out the key casually, crouched down and opened the hidden compartment under the table, took out a few silver tickets from it, and stuffed them into his arms.

Seeing that he was thinking so thoughtfully, Wen Qian patted his head and said, "Look at me, I even forgot about taking the silver, and I will not let the eldest brother break the bank."

"I'm talking about this later, you go with me first to ask things clearly."

。 Ji Zhong knew that this matter was probably not so simple, and secretly wondered if it was for him, if he had a reputation for wantonly conniving at his family's misdeeds, wouldn't his position as a housekeeper be in jeopardy.

Ji Zhong's face was calm, he called his eldest son, and after such and such advice, he and Wen Qian took advantage of the night to leave the house.

However, the Ji Mansion family has a large number of people, and the Qingyun family is very eye-catching in the Ji Mansion, and there are not a few people who know her.

Ji Zhong and the others deliberately went to the place where the notice was posted, and after confirming that the person on it was Qingyun, they immediately found Master Wang in the official mansion.

Invite people to the flower building, and ask about the arrival after three rounds of drinking.

The master was secretly surprised in his heart, and said tentatively, "How can Steward Ji care about such a trivial matter."

Ji Zhong poured him wine, his face was calm and did not seem to be in a hurry, and he said slowly: "Dissatisfied master, the person on the portrait knows below, she is under everyone's noses all day long, she really became a murderer somehow, there must be some misunderstanding in the middle, there must be a villain doing it."

The master glanced at him in surprise, stroked his beard and asked, "I don't know what the relationship between that person and Steward Ji is."

Ji Zhong and Wen Qian glanced at each other, got up and arched their hands, and said in a sincere tone: "Dissatisfied with Brother Wang, the person painted on the portrait is very similar to my niece, how can there be such a person who looks the same in this world, how can my niece not be wronged."

The master hurriedly got up and returned the salute, bowed a few times, and then said, "There is such a thing"?

Wen Qian sighed, his face was full of sorrow: "We don't know what to do, and we also ask the master to be the master of my little girl, wouldn't this look the same be wronged, not to mention how can you afford the crime of murder."

The master will be suspicious in his heart, this matter is really incredible, and the matter of the wanted warrant makes people suspicious, according to the news that it is a young boy, who knows the magic and is strong in martial arts. This is not credible, at the time he also guessed that he had offended some big family, and now it seems to be even more incomprehensible, this season's housekeeper is also a character, how could his niece be so wanted, could it be that he offended some great character?

He suppressed his doubts in his heart and told the news he knew: "The wanted warrant was sent by the Jizhou Mansion, and the Zhang family, a big household in the Jizhou Mansion, also inserted a foot in it, and the portrait was specially painted by them, and the silver reward was also issued by them.

He had already denied his statement in his heart, he knew that the Zhang family was just a rich family, how could they dare to fight with the Ji family's big housekeeper, I am afraid that there is another hidden reason.

Ji Zhong went through the people who knew the surname Zhang in his mind, and asked uncertainly: "But what about Jizhou Mansion, the tea merchant Zhang's family"?

"That's right, it's this person", the master was not surprised at all that Ji Zhong recognized that family, a big merchant in Jiangnan Province, there were few who didn't want to hug the Ji family's thighs, and the Ji family's two words, they broke their legs.

When Wen Qian heard this information, he bowed to the master, and hurriedly found someone when he left the flower building, and asked people to go to Jizhou Mansion overnight with a post printed with the mark of the Ji family.

Ji Zhong invited the master to sit down and pour wine with him, and said, "Please also ask Brother Wang to help me in the next favor."

With a smiling face, the master touched the wine glass with him, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said thoughtfully, "If you have something to say, you will do your best."

The matter is basically solved, Ji Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, although Qingyun is just a niece, but this matter can be big or small, at the big it is because of the reputation of the Ji family, and at the small level, it is a woman's name.

The Ji family is a master of poetry, books and etiquette, how can he allow his subordinates to tarnish his reputation, and he can't bear to see his niece's reputation ruined.

"Can the wanted notice be taken down first, and when the people from Jizhou Mansion come, everything will be revealed."

The master agreed, he had been in Yangzhou for many years, and he had a lot of dealings with Ji Zhong during this period, and he naturally had no reason to ask him to do something, not to mention that Ji Zhong owed him a personal favor, and he would have the opportunity to repay him in the future.
