The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly froze.

The second steward of the treasury spat black blood from his mouth, and after convulsions for a moment, he was silent again.

The two guards knelt down in fear.

In addition to shock and anger, Le Shaoyuan's eyes were covered with coldness.

Li covered Lexi's eyes with one hand and his mouth with the other, and forcibly suppressed the frightened screams in his throat.

"Drag it away!" Le Shaoyuan stared at the corpse of the second steward of the treasury, and after a while, he gave a loud order.

The look of yin on his face made everyone in the courtyard hang their heads, for fear of being targeted by the angry Le Shaoyuan. Especially those who have just escaped a terrible punishment, they don't even dare to breathe.

The guards were frightened by Le Shaoyuan's anger, and dragged the person away quickly and neatly.

Only then did Li let go of the hand that was covering Le Xi's eyes.

The second master and the third master glanced at each other, and their faces were all suspicious.

The second master came to Le Shaoyuan and gave a salute and said, "Big brother, this is ......"

Le Shaoyuan had a gloomy face and waved his hand: "A manager who committed a crime committed suicide in fear of sin." ”

The third old man looked at the black blood stains on the stone slab and frowned: "But what did the treasury find out?" I just met Xu San and said that there was a lot of involvement, so I came over with my second brother. ”

"Well, the money and everything in the public are greedy for ink, and if it is discovered later, I am afraid that the Bofu will become an empty shell. Almost all the stewards were implicated, especially those who had followed their fathers. Le Shaoyuan gave a brief overview, and he didn't want to elaborate on the rest, and he didn't know how to elaborate.

He originally wanted Xu San to find out whether the mud came from the Lancui Courtyard or the well in the outer courtyard, and took the exact evidence to make him speechless before interrogating.

See if you can pry useful information out of his mouth.

Who knows, this man actually committed suicide in front of him!

The black blood is most likely poison...... It is possible that the clue to the first counterattack is completely broken.

The second and third masters saw that Le Shaoyuan was in a bad mood, so they didn't ask any more questions, chatting about others.

But a few words later. Le Shaoyuan said that he would sort out how much money he had lost in the public middle school, and then discuss the follow-up with them. The two knew that they were driving people away, so they didn't stay any longer, so they gave up and left.

Xu San came back at this time. Between the eyebrows is a heavy color.

When he came, he saw the corpse of the second steward of the treasury who had been dragged down.

"Master, this mud is the flower mud of Lancui Courtyard, what special varieties of flowers do the big girls want to plant in the future, and they are specially bought. That's the only place in the house! Xu San whispered to Le Shaoyuan.

This was expected by Le Shaoyuan. There was a hint of excitement on his face.

"Le Qi!" Le Shaoyuan called.

The old butler, who had been standing in the sun, was apprehensive and self-reproachful, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "What does the uncle command?" ”

Le Shaoyuan glanced at him, "Give you a chance to atone for your sins, and deal with today's affairs!" I will leave a few guards and Madame's men to help you, and then you will deliver the new keys to the treasury and the new account books to Madame. If there are any further errors or omissions in the verification......"

"If there is another omission, the old slave will come to see you!" Le Qi's eyes turned red instantly, but he didn't expect Le Shaoyuan to kick him out of the house, but to give him another chance.

Le Shaoyuan nodded, he was not a person who couldn't tell right from wrong. The examination just now is also very clear.

Le Qi has been, but it is only a negligence, the key to the treasury has left his body and has been copied by someone.

If the Fuzhong is so bad, it will inevitably be a turmoil in the hearts of the people, and it is also necessary to have an old man who still has some prestige to press the field.

After the order was completed, Le Shaoyuan led Le Xi's mother and daughter out of the compound where the treasury was located and returned to Ronghui Courtyard.

This is the first time Lexi has seen a living person die in front of his eyes.

Although Li covered her eyes, the scene where the steward spat black blood was real.

There was fear in her heart. But this fear comes more from this metaphor for the fight to the death.

Le Xi's hand held by Li Shi was a little colder.

Li Shi noticed it, looked at her worriedly, and held her hand a little tighter. "Xiaoxi, don't be afraid. Daddy and mom are here! ”

Feeling the temperature coming from Li's hand, Le Xi gathered his mind and smiled.

Le Shaoyuan also looked at it at this time, and there was the same worry in his eyes.

"Daddy, mom, Xiaoxi is not afraid, but a little surprised." Shake Lee's hand back. The smile on Le Xi's face was natural, and his big eyes shone with strength. "I'm fine, really!"

Le Xi's reaffirmation made the couple feel relieved and pity, how they didn't understand that she still had the strength to force herself.

At this time, the spirit rhino who followed everyone cried a few times, and flew in a circle around Lexi.

With a small head, he looks like a majestic guard.

Lexi understood and was amused to laugh. "Yes, yes, there are little things you protect me, I'm not afraid! It's thanks to you this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been so quick to find out who was hiding. ”

Saying that, doubts flashed in Le Xi's heart again, this spirit rhino is a little too godly, how did it know that the person in charge was the one who came into contact with Le Yan?!

Could it be, by such a coincidence, that it wandered around at night and bumped into it?!

This is a monster!!

Le Xi couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, and once the couple was reminded, they remembered that Lingxi was the hero this time. It's also quite strange to look at it.

However, Le Xi looked at Lingxi, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Daddy, that person went to see Le Yan yesterday, maybe to give her something. Perhaps, Le Yanna still has clues! ”

The guards had been keeping an eye on the courtyard, and they must have known every move inside, and even if they had any codes, they would be able to match them. Let the guards pretend to be the second stewards and test Le Yan!

Le Shaoyuan understood, and felt that this was a good method, but the next moment he hesitated: "What if Le Yan sees through it and doesn't speak?!" ”

Le Yan's temperament, they have more or less figured it out, and they will never get anything valuable from it with hard ones. Because now, Le Yan also knows that there will be no worse situation than her at this time!

Not to mention, maybe it can make them have some scruples, and she will also seize the opportunity to put forward conditions.

Le Xi's expression was indifferent, and he still had the confidence to strategize: "I'll follow, don't worry, Daddy, I can definitely make Le Yan tell the truth!" ”

I don't know what medicine Le Xi gourd sells, but seeing that she is determined, Le Shaoyuan lowered his head and thought about it, and responded.

Back at Ronghui Courtyard, after a hasty lunch, Le Shaoyuan went to the outer study again and called the guards who monitored Lancui Courtyard last night. Details of the actions proposed by Merchant Fortune.

And Le Xi was holding a red brocade box embroidered with ruyi patterns, a little stunned.

This is what Lu Yu Tuole Shaoyuan handed over, and in the brocade box, there are two items that Le Xi is familiar with, and there is also a letter...... (To be continued.) )
