Chapter 73: Chatting
Alas, Zhen Guogong let out a long sigh, as the old saying goes, if you do it, you will leave traces, this Zhen Guogong expressed his belief, so he has been tracking down the assassination of his son, and today he finally found out a little, but the person died when he caught up.
Now what makes Zhenguogong's heart stuffed is his son and asks again, what did he say? said that his subordinates were useless, and finally made a breakthrough, and the clue was broken again!
"Alas, just look at your black face and know that there is no progress, forget it, I don't expect you to do anything, don't check it if you can't find it." Li Dongyang waved his hands generously, with an expression that you are really incompetent.
Zhen Guogong stuffed a stone in his heart, and wanted to tell his son that he was really capable, but the problem was that the other party was too cunning, and it was difficult to make progress by erasing all the clues.
"Don't be discouraged, let's have some wine and supper together." Li Dongyang is a good son, and he will stop the bleeding after being stabbed, and Zhen Guogong doesn't know what to do to react well.
"By the way, did the little maid who caught it in the morning interrogate?" Li Dongyang asked suddenly, and the big butler who came in with the food box slipped under his feet, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Shizi, I'm sorry, the maid committed suicide."
"Oh, in my judgment, the Xie family has been in the mansion for so many years, it is impossible to have no backhand." Li Dongyang had a clear expression, and he didn't blame the big housekeeper for this.
This made the chief butler blame himself even more, feeling that Xie's hand was stretched too long, he had already guarded against Xie's hand, but he didn't expect that people would still get a leak in the defense.
"Who did the maid have contact with before she died?" Zhen Guogong asked, originally he didn't care about the affairs of the backyard, but his son wanted him to manage the backyard, so he naturally had to take care of it.
"There was no contact with anyone, just hit the wall and died shortly after the guard was replaced, and I suspect the problem is with the guards, but they really didn't get close to the cell."
The big housekeeper's face blamed himself even deeper, Li Dongyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "Since it appeared on the guards, it's better to do it, search the bodies of the guards and see if there are anything that doesn't belong to them." ”
The chief housekeeper was puzzled, and Li Dongyang continued: "If you want to threaten a person, you can't just use verbal blows, you can also threaten the people he cares about the most, and at this time, only one item can work." ”
"Well, my son's analysis is right, go check." Zhen Guogong nodded, with a proud face, almost boasting that his son was the smartest child in the world.
The big housekeeper's eyes lit up, it was true, the maid must have been threatened, the big housekeeper left in a hurry, Li Dongyang took the chopsticks and said, "Hurry up and eat, I have to go to ask for peace after eating." ”
Poof, Zhen Guogong looked up at the sky, well, I'll go and say hello after eating, the time is just right, anyway, it's not over today, everything is within the specified time frame.
"Don't rush, eat slowly."
Zhen Guogong was happy, but some people were unhappy, Xie sat in the hall and waited for Li Dongyang to come to ask for peace, but he didn't expect that the left couldn't wait, the right didn't arrive, and seeing that the time was not early, there was still no figure.
sent someone to inquire about Li Dongyang's news, and the maid told Xie that Li Dongyang was at Zhenguogong's, which made Xie not even dare to urge him, and if he dared to urge, he would definitely be accused by Zhenguogong.
Originally, Li Dongyang wanted to take the opportunity to poison her, but now it's good, it has become Li Dongyang torturing her! Xie Shi got angry when he thought about it, looked at Mother Wang, gritted her teeth and said, "Is the poison ready?" ”
Mother Wang nodded, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, and asked, "Madam, is this good?" If it's not good if it's discovered, Mingxin Yuan is about to have results. ”
"I can't wait that long, I want him to die, I can't wait for a moment."
Xie twisted his handkerchief, his face was distorted, and his already ugly face was even more hideous, and Wang's mother sighed in her heart and didn't dare to persuade again.
Stepping on the night, Li Dongyang walked towards the Peony Garden with a smile and a brisk pace full of wine, followed by stones and ink bamboos, silently lighting a pillar of incense for Xie's family.
In the Peony Courtyard, the maid who guarded the door saw Li Dongyang coming from a distance, and quickly retracted her head and ran towards the hall to tell her wife the good news.
Along the way, accepting the attention of the maid, Li Dongyang came to the hall slowly, looked at Xie Shi who was sitting on it, and arched his hand: "Stepmother is fine, a little maid died today." ”
Xie pursed his lips tightly and took a deep breath, this knife can't hurt her, the little maid should be ready to die after being discovered, it's not that she is ruthless, it's that the maid's life is not worth anything.
"Yang'er is here, sit, since you came back, we haven't had a good chat yet." Xie squeezed out a smile and gritted his back molars to speak.
Li Dongyang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, this is something, sat down according to his words, and said with a smile: "Do we have anything to talk about?" ”
Mother Wang came in with tea, the corners of her mouth twitched, feeling that Shizi had a choking rhythm when he spoke, even if he didn't agree, he always had to live on his face, people like Shizi who didn't like it on their faces were really too rare.
"Lord Shizi, please drink tea." Mother Wang put down the cup and invited Li Dongyang to drink tea.
Li Dongyang smiled, suspecting that there was knowledge in the cup, Xie Shi didn't look like a kind-hearted person, she would be kind enough to invite herself to drink tea, thinking that Li Dongyang picked up the cup and opened the lid to sniff, frowning slightly.
"Good tea." Li Dongyang blew the tea leaves, looked at Xie Shi, and asked, "Stepmother, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”
The word stepmother is really prickly, Xie doesn't like to hear it at all, but she can't help but listen, who let this be the heart of Zhen Guogong.
"Yang'er is also sixteen, I don't know if I can get married?" Xie asked casually, and was overjoyed when he saw Li Dongyang open his mouth to drink tea.
Li Dongyang snapped the lid of the cup, put on a serious and thoughtful look, and did not drink the tea in his mouth, Xie regretted that he opened his mouth, and he knew that he would wait for this bastard to drink the tea before asking.
"I've never been married." Li Dongyang thought about it seriously, and felt that it was better to reply honestly, I heard that the Duke of Yasukuni had prepared a little daughter-in-law for himself, and if he said that he didn't remember, wouldn't he be in the way of others.
"Really?" Xie Shi replied lightly, seeing Li Dongyang pick up the cup again, his eyes flashed with anticipation, Baba waited for Li Dongyang to drink it, but saw Li Dongyang put down the cup again.
"I've already told my father about my marriage, and I'm up to me to make my own decisions, so I don't have to worry about my stepmother." Li Dongyang smiled and quietly mended the knife.
Hehe, Xie Shi gritted his teeth and sneered, she really likes to worry about it, she just wants this bastard to drink the water in the cup!
After finishing speaking, Li Dongyang stared at Xie Shi with a cup, with an expression of I will chat with you, and you continue to talk, Xie Shi's heart was congested, and he didn't know what to talk to Li Dongyang.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Li Dongyang drinking tea, Xie said, "Let's drink some tea." ”
