Chapter 437: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (5)
Bingyun and Chunbai happily hurriedly thanked him: "Slave and maid thank Miss Biao for the reward!" ”
Li Ziyu gave the two taels of silver that had been prepared to Bingyun and Chunbai respectively, and the two of them happily accepted it, it was Bingyun, and there was a faint smile on their faces.
Bingyun is a big girl, and the monthly example is two taels of silver, and Chunbai is a second-class maid, and the monthly example is one or two silver.
Bingyun is the son of a family, and the whole family is on an errand in the house. Her father, Fan Honest, is said to be clumsy, honest, and loyal, and cares for the cattle in the livestock shed in the backyard. Her mother Yulian is very delicate and transparent, and she cooks good dishes, but she is very appreciated by the old lady, and she is a little steward in the small kitchen. But even so, my brother is seventeen years old this year, and he said a family matter, but the other party's bride price is fifty taels of silver, where is there so much silver in the family? Therefore, the whole family is frugal to save this dowry, but fortunately, the whole family eats in the big kitchen of the house, and everyone's monthly silver can be saved. That's why the two pieces of silver that Li Ziyu rewarded Bingyun valued so much.
Chunbai is a slave who signed a death contract, and her family is from the south, and the whole family fled to the north because of the flood. But where is it so easy to get enough to eat? My brother has reached the age of getting married, but the family can't even make up two taels of silver. She also has two younger siblings under her, so she asked her father and mother to sell her. Although he is a slave of the death contract in the house, Chunbai is still worried about his family, leaving a small part of the monthly silver, and bringing the rest back to the family. However, the maid will also marry sooner or later? The family can't count on it, so they can only save it themselves. The one or two pieces of silver given by Li Ziyu are a lot of money. It's her monthly routine for a month, and she's so happy to die!
Li Ziyu asked Bingyun and Chunbai to watch the movement outside on the first floor, and she and Mama Jian went up to the second floor. The two sat down separately in the small study. We discussed the defense of the night.
When Li Ziyu said that she would let Mama Jian live downstairs and guard Bingyun and Chunbai, she was fiercely opposed by Mama Jian. She said, "No, the slave can't listen to Miss Watch." You can arrange the accommodation downstairs, because the minions cannot live with the master. But I can't listen to you at night. The slave and maid came to protect you, how can you protect the maid? It's past tonight. It is their destiny that they can live, and if they unfortunately die, it is also the will of God, it is all fate. So. Slaves and maids must be on the second floor. ”
Li Ziyu disagrees with Mama Jian's statement, in her opinion, slaves and maids are also a human life, how can she ignore it like this? So. The smile on his face was slightly restrained. Zhengse said: "Mama, Xiaoyu can't watch them in danger, since you don't live downstairs, then let the two of them move over tonight, the four of us are in the same room, it's easy to defend." ”
"No, the assassin must check on the first floor before going up to the second floor, and if there is no one on the first floor, he will definitely be suspicious. It is possible that the killer will withdraw, and it will not be able to achieve the effect of catching them by surprise. Mama Jane was still opposed. Carefully analyze it for Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu thought for a while and said, "No one can be sure that the first floor is where the slaves and maids live, let's take a step back and let the two of them live next door to me, and you and I live in one room, so it should be okay, right?" “
Mama Jian smiled helplessly: "Okay, since Miss Biao insists on doing this, the slave can only obey orders." ”
Li Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, she finally persuaded Mama Jian. She is really resistant to the ancient practice of taking the lives of slaves and maids seriously, and she has a deep understanding of the sentence that life is like a mustard. At this time, she was most homesick and wanted to think about everything in modern times.
My grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle all went to the court and didn't come back, so I still have to communicate some ideas with them. For example, how to arrange the outside tonight to be foolproof, how to prevent them from committing suicide in an instant. In fact, she wants to know who is behind the scenes, so deliberately dealing with her.
It was dinner time in a flash, and Li Ziyu still came to the old lady's courtyard as usual and came here to eat. My grandfather had already returned at dinner, and my eldest uncle and second uncle were also eating here tonight, so there was a warm and friendly atmosphere at the table.
After dinner, the slaves and maids who were waiting in front of him were all in a big way, and Mama Jane was outside listening to the movements outside, and the old lady rested indoors. Li Ziyu and her grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle gathered in the living room and exchanged information in a whisper. Li Ziyu told her grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle about the eldest aunt and maid she and Mama Jian found in the lower room today, as well as her own arrangements in the garden, and explained that they didn't need to take care of the interior, they just took care of the periphery.
However, Li Ziyu was not surprised to find her grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle, and immediately understood in her heart. If there was anything that my grandfather didn't know about in the house before, it was because my grandfather didn't pay enough attention to it. Then now that the situation in the house must be under control, it is not surprising to find that the maid of the eldest aunt has moved.
Fan Jingshu asked solemnly: "Are you sure they will take the bait tonight?" ”
Li Ziyu nodded and said, "Eighty percent, it is estimated that the power of the grenade has reached the ears of the people behind the scenes, and I am afraid that they have already targeted me." Do you remember what I said about the Sun family? With the ability of the Sun family, you don't need to investigate more, you will find out that Ren Xiaohang and they are currently living in my house, and if you think about it carefully, you can't hide the grenade. Especially in the current situation in Yidu, my departure from Shiyan Town is itself suspicious, and it is not surprising that the people behind the scenes know about it.
What is strange to me is the relationship between the Sun family and the people behind the scenes. It would be logical if the person behind the scenes was the second prince, after all, they were in-laws. However, are the killers really the second prince's people? If not, it's interesting, where is this? What exactly do you want to do? Why is it so important to deal with the hostile? Knowing that his identity will be exposed at present, he is so impatient to get the drawings, which is unreasonable! ”
Fan Qilin shook his head and said, "The killer has already wiped out all the traces of the five princes, and it is impossible to find them. However, through communication with the fifth prince, the killer is definitely not the second prince's person. That's what he affirms. “
Fan Jingshu pondered for a long time, and said suspiciously: "If it is not the second prince's person, then it may not be a person from the Daye Dynasty." What is strange to me is that only the Liao State has the strength to compete with the Daye Dynasty on the border of the Daye Dynasty, and the rest are small countries, so they are too late to tie up the Daye Dynasty, how can they kill themselves to provoke it? It's too easy to destroy them, half a month is enough. They didn't live enough, so how could they do that? Could it be that when I wasn't paying attention, there was some unexpected factor? “
Saying that, Fan Jingshu set his eyes on his second son Fan Qiming, as if to ask him to explain.
Fan Qiming understood what his father meant, he was in charge of the link of intelligence and secret guards, and the sources of information were all here, he shook his head at his father and said: "No, all the details of the small border country are in my head, and no small country has such a move." Unless ・・・・・・""Unless what? Fan Jingshu asked.
Fan Qilin and Li Ziyu also looked at him inquiringly, hoping that he would solve everyone's doubts.
Fan Qiming frowned and said, "Father, eldest brother, do you still remember Jiang Guo?" "Jiang Guo? You mean ・・・・・・? Fan Jingshu looked at his son with some surprise, and suddenly understood.
Fan Qilin also understood at this time, and asked with some surprise: "Could it be that a small country that has been destroyed for nearly a hundred years can still be resurrected?" ”
Fan Qiming reminded: "Don't forget, the whereabouts of the original little prince, twelve-year-old Jiang Junqing, are unknown. It is rumored that the little prince was killed by the rebels, but no one saw his body. Jiang Junwei is known for his resourcefulness and martial arts in Jiang Kingdom, how can he die so easily?
