Chapter 429: Peeling Back the Cocoon (5)
Li Ziyu didn't answer why she came back so late, but just smiled and said to them, "Why are you waiting outside?" ”
Chunbai said to Li Ziyu admiringly: "Miss Cousin, you are so amazing!" Can you bring the minions over as well? The minions really can't live without you! ”
Bingyun glared at Chunbai and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You just look at the watch, Miss is easy to talk to, so there is no big or small, no rules. ”
Chunbai stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Li Ziyu turned to Chai Bin and said, "Uncle Chai, go back, I'm afraid Aunt Chai and the children are also worried about you now." You'll come here early tomorrow morning, so let's go out into the streets. I don't know if today's Zhao Kunkui is scared or not, and the matter of buying a house must be hurried. ”
Chai Bin knew that Li Ziyu wanted to go back, and wanted to buy the house before leaving. After all, no one will come to Yidu again if they are fine, and after the house is completed, Yidu will have a place to live after the young masters.
"Yes! Miss, you rest earlier, the slave will retire" Chai Bin agreed, bowed and bowed, turned around and walked away quickly.
Li Ziyu carefully looked at Bingyun and Chunbai up and down a few times, and saw that they were really undamaged, so she turned around and inserted the courtyard door carefully. As he walked into the courtyard, he commanded, "Bingyun, prepare the hot water, I want to wash up." ”
"Miss, sit on the stove when the hot water is ready." Bingyun said, walked a few steps to the front, and slipped up the kettle on the stove in the front yard and entered the house.
When Li Ziyu entered the house, in the bathroom on the first floor, Bingyun had already poured the mixed hot water into the bath bucket, and the clean cloth towels, soaphorns, and flower petals were all prepared. Li Ziyu simply took a hot bath. After a day of fatigue, I went upstairs to rest.
The next day, Li Ziyu got up early. After moving his hands and feet in the yard, he went to the old lady's yard and had breakfast with the old lady.
As soon as he finished breakfast, Chai Bin came over. Because he was a man, he couldn't go into the inner courtyard casually, so the mother-in-law who guarded the door let him in after receiving the old lady's instructions. However, Chai Bin did not enter the main courtyard. Instead, they waited at the gate of the main courtyard.
Li Ziyu told her grandmother that she was going to see the house on the street today, and although the old lady was worried, she also knew Li Ziyu's determination to buy a house, so she reluctantly agreed. But. Today, she was also afraid of a repeat of yesterday's incident, so she sent her eldest son Fan Qilin to follow her personally, and she was a little relieved.
Fan Qilin didn't sleep all night last night, and was called over by his mother early this morning. When I heard that I was accompanying Li Ziyu to buy a house. immediately agreed, and ordered the sturdy guards in the mansion, and followed yesterday's route all the way to Zhao Kunkui's house.
Today, Fan Qilin did not ride a horse, but sat in a carriage with Li Ziyu. Li Ziyu was still in his own carriage yesterday, and before leaving, Chai Bin carefully inspected the vehicle and horses, and went out when everything was fine. In the carriage, Fan Qilin told her in detail about the situation provided by the servants in the house and the memories of the soul last night.
Not only did Fan Qilin not sleep all night last night, but Fan Qiming, Fan Qiliang and Fan Jingshu all didn't sleep all night. They interrogated the servants of the house one by one. Let them carefully recall who had seen her and where they had been on this day. What did they say to whom, and so on. Not to mention, there was a slave on duty in Qi Yunxuan who said a situation that attracted everyone's attention.
He said that he had seen Yi Ling and Jing Yuexuan, that is, a small guy in the courtyard of the second master, in contact, and he couldn't hear what they said from a distance. And the little guy in the yard of the second old man is Fan Xiaobao, a little guy who specializes in feeding pigeons.
This situation made Fan Qiming angry, he had asked this little guy just now, and he kept saying that he had never seen anyone, and no one had touched the pigeons. But when he looked for this little guy at the scene, he found that he didn't come at all.
Fan Qiming was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, he clearly ordered that all the minions in the courtyard must come to Mingyue Hall and have something to ask. He also watched this Fan Xiaobao enter the Mingyue Hall with his own eyes, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye? It's also so weird! He immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and he must find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
After layers of inquiry, it was finally confirmed that Fan Xiaobao said that he went to the toilet and never came back. And a lot of servants in the house are concentrated here, and when I inquired, I found that at the same time, there was also the fourth lady's dowry maid who stammered.
Fu stammered as soon as he spoke, and the people in the house almost forgot his name, everyone called him Fu stammer, and he responded with a smile every time, not angry. At this time, everyone found out that after Fu stammered and Fan Xiaobao went to the toilet together, they didn't come back.
Fan Qilin had an ominous premonition at that time, and felt that these two people might have been more than lucky. So, he ordered the secret guards in the mansion to search in the mansion immediately, and they must find these two people.
In fact, the Dark Guard didn't have much trouble finding the two of them, because the first thing they were looking for was a latrine. As a result, when they went to the latrine, they found that both of them had died in the latrine.
After an inquest by an experienced secret guard in the palace, it was found that Fan Xiaobao was suffocated to death by Fu Stammering from behind with a handkerchief soaked in poison, and Fu Stammering died of poisoning. It seems that all the clues have been broken here, but within a day, Li Ziyu was assassinated, then Fan Chen died for no reason, Yiling hanged himself, and the two little guys also died at the same time. The Fan family has never made such a big mistake in its history, nor has it lost such a big face. The people behind the scenes obviously didn't take the Fan family seriously, so they would kill one after another. This is simply a naked provocation to the Fan family! For this reason, Fan Jingshu issued a series of instructions, requiring the secret guards in the palace to not only supervise the minions in each courtyard, but also the masters in each courtyard, and monitor them all, and not let go of any clues.
Especially the fourth old man Fan Qiliang, the dead maids and servants are all minions in their own yards, and they are obviously the most suspicious in their yards. Especially since he just got a position from Qipin in Zhongshu Province, if this news spreads, then his future will be completely over. So, he gathered all the minions in the courtyard and interrogated them for a night, but nothing came of it.
The third master, Fan Qifeng, was in charge of the general affairs of the house, involving the minions in the shop and Zhuangzi, so he also participated, and the minions under him were also carefully passed, and he didn't sleep all night.
After a round of trial, there was nothing of value, and the father and son were both angry and angry. They stayed up all night in the study and felt that such a fanfare had already startled the snake, so the next step should be to slow down the pace and let the people behind the scenes slowly expose themselves. For this reason, they worked out a plan to lure the snake out of the hole overnight, but this plan required Li Ziyu's cooperation to be implemented.
After hearing this, Li Ziyu probably had an object of suspicion in her heart, but she wouldn't say it. Maybe everyone is focused on that person in their hearts, in order to stabilize the person behind the scenes, or to catch the master of the people behind the scenes, so they slowly laid out. Because now almost all the clues are concentrated on one person, unfortunately there is not enough evidence to prove.
