Just after a while, an old mother-like person came over, she saw Shi Qi choosing vegetables alone, sat down on the ground and said, "The children of the poor have long been in charge, and the little boy will do these things, which family are you?" Shi Qi said: "I helped the vegetable master deliver the toilet, and when I brushed the toilet, I found that there were many and big fish in the pool, so I wanted to go fishing after coming back, but the vegetable master said that there were dead people, and the fish were not delicious." I wonder how long people have been dead? Is there still an impact? But the vegetable chef didn't tell me, so I worked here for a while, and I wanted to find someone to ask. ”

The old woman looked left and right and said, "Don't say you have only brushed the toilet, we are different from them, this is a decent job." If you say you're just coming from the pool, you won't be able to get on the lunch table today. You can't go to the pond you said, I heard that since the dead ghost drowned in, there have been some things going on in the house, and now no one dares to talk about the pond, and the lord wants to use the sewage from the toilet to spoil the filth there. ”

Shi Qi asked, "Does anyone in the mansion know the process of that person's drowning?" Not that he was careless? The old woman said, "You are still young, and a person may be careless by the edge of the pond in your own house for many years?" Besides, if a man can't swim, he will die if he goes down, or when the weather is just autumn, and it is not too cold, and the discerning person knows it all. The old mother also told Shi Qi that after the man drowned, the original Steward Li actually broke his leg inexplicably on a rainy night, and now he can't walk normally, everyone said that he let the water ghost take off half of his leg. Now the housekeeper is also surnamed Li, and he and the old housekeeper are uncles and nephews, and I heard that only they participated.

What the old mother said was not a secret in the Lu Mansion for a long time, the old mother pretended to have nothing to do and went straight to take the dishes away, so that Shi Qishao inquired about the gossip in the house, and warned him again not to go to the pond to fish. Shi Qi wanted to go back and report to Lord Yang, but he thought about it again, the Lu family was Lord Ouyang's second wife's mother's family, if it was just hearsay, without any real evidence, Lord Yang would not be able to open a court.

Thinking of this, Shi Qi brought a tray from the dining place, on which two cutlery were placed, and he began to pay attention to the housekeeper's residence, without looking at it, he knew that the housekeeper of a government was busier than a county official. Not only is there someone in the house to ask for instructions, he has to make a decision, and how to arrange the reception of the master is also a major matter, and the inventory of various gifts, the collection of land rent, and the dispatch of long-term and short-term workers must be worried about by the housekeeper. Shi Qi understood that the rich man's family is also a small society, which not only has strict hierarchies and a clear division of labor, but also has normal promotions, punishments, and rewards.

Shi Qi finally found the old Li who was not good at legs, he sat outside the door basking in the sun, judging from his complexion, the master treated him well, he should be a person with a bit of status in the house, and there were two young students waiting around him. Shi Qi came to the front and said, "You two go into the house, I have something to ask Steward Li." The two little students seemed surprised, but also amused, and asked, "Where did you run out of the child?" Do you know who's in front of you? Shi Qi suddenly put down the tray and said sharply: "I don't understand what I said?" Get in? Which one I am is none of your business, I know the former butler in front of me. ”

The two looked into the distance, there were figures walking around, they were used to bullying others in front of Steward Li, and now when they saw a child talking to them so seriously, one of them went up and punched. Steward Li was also worried that he had broken the child, he hadn't had time to ask who the child was, he was different from the little students, and the housekeeper for many years let him know that he could enter the mansion and talk to him like this, and he would not generally make something out of nothing. When he was about to scold and stop it, the descendant who started it even hummed and let Shi Qi stop it, and sat on the ground by the door, with a painful look on his face.

Steward Li asked, "May I ask which house is the son from?" Why is it difficult for a small person? I'm a disabled person who can't go down to the ground to give gifts, and if there's anything wrong with you, please point it out. "Steward Li has seen the world, and he can restrain his subordinates with one move, and he is a child, so how thick his skills should he be. Shi Qi said: "I let them in, but they don't listen, I'm not the son of any house, I just need you to answer me a few questions." He pointed to the man who was sitting on the ground, and said to the man who was still standing, "If you dare to disturb, he will be your fate." ”

Steward Li could only agree, and Shi Qi asked, "How did you get your master's pond?" How did the previous owner of the pond drown? Steward Li looked at Shi Qi, unlike Jiang Wenzhi's son, he knew that the Jiang family was the prefect before, and he had concerns when he asked him to do it, a party member can't just do it, no matter what, he will have a few friends, if he retaliates, it is not a trivial matter, no matter how thin he is, he is a camel. But behind his master is Lord Ouyang, the son of the prime minister, and now the patrol of the eight mansions on the ground, not to mention the owner of a pond, even Lord Jiang is still in the prefect, and he doesn't have the courage to go to the Lu Mansion to mess around.

Thinking of this, Steward Li said: "Don't listen to that crazy woman's nonsense, her man is drowned, and it has nothing to do with us, there are too many people in the house, and it is not easy to manage things, I must have offended many people, and I can understand that they created some rumors for me." Later, when my leg was injured, they had more excuses, and blamed me for being strict with them, which was retribution, but it was not that I did bad things, it was that I was too responsible. Shi Qi asked, "Do you also know that killing people is a bad thing?" If you don't suffer from flesh and skin, you won't tell the truth. ”

Shi Qi said as he dragged Steward Li into the back room, and dragged the subordinate who had been standing on the side in, and the two of them couldn't even see what technique he used, so they only felt a shock in their bodies and entered the room. Before Steward Li could attack, Shi Qi was able to nail Steward Li's hand to the chair with a bamboo point. He was about to shout, but at the same time, his mouth was stuffed with the rag that Shi Qi had brought from the dining room. Ten fingers are connected to the heart, not to mention that for a person whose leg has been injured, the hand is even more important to him.

Shi Qi said: "Want to say it now? There's no chance, I don't have to let you say it. He pointed to the subordinate who was now looking at him in surprise and asked, "The blood he is shedding now is what you may be about to bleed, if you scream, I can also make you speechless forever before you shout, it's not that Steward Li can't speak for the time being." Got it? It's forever, shouting without a tongue, don't you believe what I say? The man nodded desperately, Shi Qi found a chair for himself, looked at the person lying on the ground outside the door, and ordered the other one to stand and drag that person in.

Shi Qixiang said to the able-bodied man: "You don't need to look into the distance, it's useless to see how many people come, I will kill you before I leave, you have a choice, either bleed here like Steward Li, or listen to my words and say what I want to hear." I want to know, how did the owner of the puddle field, the man surnamed Jiang, who is now going to sue everywhere, die? If you can destroy him, why do you let his women cause trouble for you everywhere, and you can destroy them together? ”

The man looked at Steward Li on the ground and said, "I really don't know about this, you can't harm me, if I know, I will say it, I also listened to them, they said that this thing may have been done by Steward Li, and his leg was taken away by that dead ghost." Steward Li, you can't hate me, I can't help it, I don't want to suffer from flesh and skin. As he spoke, he wanted to kowtow to Steward Li and plead guilty, staring at Shi Qi with both eyes, as if he was not lying, Shi Qi sneered: "If you don't see the coffin, you don't shed tears, you tell everything you know, I know that Steward Li may make you uncomfortable after I leave, but if you tell a lie, you will be uncomfortable now." ”

The man looked at Steward Li, who had fainted from the pain, and the guy said, "I heard that on a rainy day, the man of the Jiang woman went to the pond to see the water situation, and he was afraid that the water would flood the field." Master Lu asked Steward Li to take two or three intimate subordinates to the edge of the man's pond, saying that he wanted to pick up the fish that flooded up in the big water, but the man of the Jiang woman did not dare to offend and did not stop him. They knocked the man unconscious with a stick while he was not looking, threw him into the pool, and returned, leaving a man with a long stick to keep watch on the side for an hour to prevent him from waking up and going ashore after entering the water. Shi Qi listened, it was a little more complete than before, yes, just because he had a good field and a good pond, it became the reason for his death.

Then he told Shi Qi why they didn't get rid of Jiang Wenzhi because Jiang Wenzhi kept saying everywhere that her man was harmed by the Lu family, and if she died because of this, it would really make people suspect the Lu family's conspiracy. They are not afraid of Jiang Wenzhi's complaint now, listening to Steward Li, Lu Yuanwai originally wanted to get rid of the roots, but he didn't know why Lord Ouyang knew about this, he wanted to use the opportunity of this woman's complaint to see his Ouyang Yanzhao's influence, which officials were obedient, and which officials would hit him with the muzzle of the gun, and he just shuffled the cards. Of course, as a subordinate of the house, he only listened to what Steward Li said occasionally after drinking, and he must be accurate.

Shi Qi didn't know much about the officialdom shuffle, but he had some clues, took out a little water from the washbasin on the side, let go of Steward Li's hand, and after pouring it, Steward Li woke up. Shi Qi asked Steward Li: "If you don't leave, you go backwards, now you want to talk about it?" I know it all, not to mention that you can't escape from prison, so take care of your leg injury, right? Steward Li asked, "Are you Lord Yang's person?" Do you know the origin of the Lu family? Can such a deep poplar flow down? It's not that I'm in prison, it's that you, a child, don't want to be an adult man, and you haven't tasted the smell of an adult man, so you have become an underage ghost. You have great ability, a good man can fight three punches, but can you block thirty punches? You are against the pillars of a country, and just now you said that I have a choice, but then you will only have a dead end, no choice. Poor boy Gong for many years, suddenly became a little ghost. ”

Shi Qi sneered, he didn't directly admit that he was Yang Sutian's person, he said: "The Jiang family is not only Jiang Wenzhi, I don't know any Lord Yang, if any Lord Yang is willing to take on such a case, I can try it." I know that you are a wreck now, and I am not afraid of offending me and suffering again, do you think that I can't let you see the unjust soul that drowned you in the rain now? Injustice has always had a head, and there will be a master of debt, but belated justice has lost its meaning and is no longer justice. I killed you now, and the unjustly killed person can't be resurrected, not to mention that you must have more than one murder, but I will find a way to find out how many things you still have, I can't kill you alone, and be happy with a group of people in your family. ”

When Steward Li heard this, he sweated, and he asked, "Are you a descendant of the Jiang family?" I know that she has several younger brothers, and if she wants to come, if she wants to start a family successfully, the child should be as old as you. Lord Lu didn't listen to me, it was a mistake to cut the grass and keep the roots, he didn't know the truth that a spark can start a prairie fire. You are a child, my family has nothing to do with this matter, I have no enmity with him in the past, and I did not occupy his water and land, if you want to find someone to take revenge, you can't choose me, I am just a poor person, you have to really have the ability, find our master. "Now, Steward Li doesn't want to die, he only has to find a tall person to top, he knows that no one can shake the big tree of Ouyang. However, if you want the life of an old man surnamed Li, it is too easy, he may not even die as well as that water ghost, and his woman will not be able to cry out for him everywhere.

Shi Qi is clear now, but he has nothing to do with the Jiang family, he thought of Jiang Xianglian's parting eyes, and he didn't want to revisit him. Besides, there is no point in embarrassing the surname Li here, Lord Yang only asks for clues, and he has now found the most difficult content, but the master is really in court, and they may not be able to say these words. As long as it is under the sun, this group of contemporary magnates will no longer be as afraid as they are now, and their backing is a real mountain, with an insurmountable height.

With Shi Qi's current strength, it is impossible for him to take an adult to the high wall of Lu Mansion, and even if he goes up, it is easy to be found that it is difficult to go too far. Shi Qi thought for a while and said: "If you run away and the monk can't run away from the temple, I will come over again, there is one more thing, otherwise be careful to nail your other hand down." Tell me, where did you send Jiang Wenzhi's girl? Or are you just in the house? After hearing this, Steward Li smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you this, she is now in Ouyang Xiangye's mansion, and you have the ability to go there to find it." After saying that, a strange light appeared in his eyes, yes, when the prime minister is his back, he does not dare to say anything about the affairs of the prime minister's house.

After Shi Qi figured it all out, he didn't bother them anymore, turned around and went up the high wall, and disappeared into the bordered field. Steward Li immediately asked his subordinates to find his nephew and told the current housekeeper that the Jiang family's people had come to the door, and the Lu Mansion should strengthen its vigilance. His nephew, now Steward Li, asked, "Do you want to tell the master?" Let him have points in his heart and be prepared, in case Lord Yang really mentions him to open the hall, he can deal with it calmly. The old housekeeper who was not very sharp said: "The family is the master, with Lord Ouyang as a backer, he will not be guarded, let's take care of our own family's affairs, let the family be careful in the near future, and send a few more family members to follow." ”
