Chapter 42 The Old Lady Rides the Crane West

No more gossip! Let's say that Master Long withdrew from his parents' east building, returned to Qin Keqing's room, told Qin Keqing the secret of the great world that his parents had just said, and discussed how to act.

Long Ye and Qin Keqing agreed that Zhao Shuxian hated Long Ye very much because of Jiang Cuilian and Lei Tianen. Therefore, it is best not to let Zhao Shuxian know about this matter for the time being-first quietly move the sleeping cabinet with the "golden jade clothes" to Qin Keqing's room, and then tell Zhao Shuxian depending on the situation.

The next night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and the Liuhe was quiet. At about eleven o'clock, a few dark shadows in the Dragon Mansion quietly came to the back east building. The leader of the dragon gently knocked on the door knocker, and the door of the building opened silently, and several black shadows rushed in. In a few moments, several black shadows lifted out two heavy behemoths and slowly moved forward the building.

A few black shadows carried the two behemoths into the front building, settled them in place, and walked out of the door and scattered.

Qianshu Niuqiao's "Spirit Monster Record: Guo Han" cloud: Xu Guanqi (Weaver Girl) clothes are seamless, Han asked, and said: "Tianyi is not needlework." Later, this passage was condensed into the idiom "seamless", which means that things are natural, perfect, and there are no flaws to be found.

Today, Long Ye found a few henchmen, quietly went to his parents, and moved the sleeping cabinet with the 'golden jade clothes' to Qin Keqing's room. I thought it was seamless, and God didn't know it; But I was still "awakened" by the "ghost"!

After Liu Kefan, the captain of the Longfu Nursing Hospital, "blew" with Jiang Cuilian, he had a love affair with Zhao Shuxian's personal maid Lan Xinmei. But the "temperature" of their relationship is not high - Lan Xinmei thinks that Liu Kefan is not romantic and has no love mood; Liu Kefan thinks that Lan Xinmei does not have the warmth that a girl should have, but is more than arrogant. Therefore, their romance is not passionate.

In the evening of that day, in order to please Lan Xinmei, Liu Kefan sincerely went to the Jiangzhou Theater to watch the black-and-white movie "One Night**" at the Jiangzhou Theater in the evening. During dinner, Lan Xinmei asked her master, Zhao Shuxian, for leave to watch a movie; Zhao Shuxian knew that she was dating Liu Kefan, so she was allowed to take a leave.

As soon as Lan Xinmei finished dinner, she dressed up and came to the door of Jiangzhou Theater to wait for Liu Kefan, but she didn't see Liu Kefan's arrival in the autumn water; Until half of the screening, there was no shadow of Liu Kefan.

Lan Xinmei, who was originally unkind to Liu Kefan, returned to Longfu angrily, wanting to ask Liu Kefan Xingshi for guilt; But Liu Kefan's dormitory was closed, and Lan Xinmei searched around the house a few times but couldn't find it, so she was so angry that she went back to her dormitory.

The next day, Liu Kefan, who knew that he was ashamed of missing the appointment, found Lan Xinmei and took the initiative to apologize to Lan Xinmei.

"Xin Mei! Yesterday I ......"

"What are you? Which bad woman did you go on a date yesterday? "There must be a master, there must be a servant, Lan Xinmei, under the influence of Zhao Shuxian, also developed a kind of arrogant and unreasonable bad temper - Liu Kefan was slapped on the head before he finished speaking.

"Xin Mei! How do you talk like that? ”

"If I don't speak like that, how can I speak? You ask me to watch a movie, but you don't go, but you go to a tryst with a bad woman; I waited at the door of the theater for half the night, and you weren't allowed to say it? ”

"Where do I go to a tryst with some bad woman, I don't leave the Dragon Mansion twenty-four hours a day, and I rarely come into contact with outsiders; In this world, apart from your girlfriend, I don't have a second friend of the opposite sex! ”

"And where did you die last night? I waited for half the night. ”

"I ...... I yesterday. Liu Kefan wanted to speak and stopped.

"I said you went to a tryst with a bad woman, and you still don't admit it, you have nothing to say!" Lan Xinmei saw Liu Kefan talking and slurred, thinking that the crooked attack was correct - the original "oblique words" were really right.

"Hey...... I...... I ...... yesterday," Liu Kefan seemed to have something unspeakable.

"Don't be yesterday, yesterday, don't quibble if you don't have words, you must have gone to a tryst with a bad woman yesterday." Lan Xinmei can't be said - Liu Kefan can't say the reason for the no-show, so he must be doing something bad.

"That'...... Then I'll tell you the truth! Last night I ...... I'm in trouble with Master Long. In order to convince Lan Xinmei that he didn't go to a tryst with a bad woman, Liu Kefan had to reveal a little bit about what Long Ye was not allowed to say.

"Where did you have something to do with Master Long last night? What's the matter with you, Long Ye? Why can't you say something about where you are in Master Long? Lan Xinmei didn't necessarily think that Liu Kefan's failure was a tryst with a bad woman, she was just messing around, bullying Liu Kefan, and making Liu Kefan admit his mistake and make compensation; Unexpectedly, Liu Kefan said something that really made her doubtful.

"This ...... This is too important to say! Liu Kefan really didn't dare to tell the truth.

"You can't tell what you're doing with Master Long, so it means that you still have a tryst with a bad woman." Lan Xinmei, who was suspicious, wanted to use the agitation method to find out the truth about Liu Kefan's place with Long Ye, so that he could tell Zhao Shuxian and ask for credit from his master.

"Xin Mei! Master Long has instructed that this matter must not be told to anyone. Believe me, I really didn't do anything bad! ”

"You really didn't do anything bad, so why can't you say what you did at Long Ye?" Liu Kefan's dare not speak made Lan Xinmei's suspicion and curiosity even heavier, and she wanted to find out what was going on.

"Hey...... Xinmei! Then I tell you, you must not say it to anyone! In order to confirm that he did not go to a tryst with a bad woman, Liu Kefan wanted to say what he couldn't say!

For some reason, telling what you can't say and asking the listener not to say it is a common unwise move in people's lives – an unwise act that often leads to unintended and serious consequences.

"Tell me something, I will never tell anyone!" Lan Xinmei pretended to agree.

"Last night, as soon as I had dinner, I was called to his study by Master Long. When I got there, the housekeeper Feng Changwen, the gatekeeper Li Hu, and Ma Long were already in Master Long's study. Everyone played in the Long Ye's study until more than eleven o'clock, and then went to the old lady's room together, and carried the two sleeping cabinets where the old lady slept to the room of the ** milk Qin Keqing, and then everyone dispersed. In order to convince Lan Xinmei that he Liu Kefan did not do anything bad, and also to let Lan Xinmei forgive him for breaking the appointment, Liu Kefan had no choice but to tell the secret of Master Long.

"Master Long asked you to carry the sleeping cabinet where the old lady slept to the room of the ** milk, why do you carry it at night and not during the day?"

"I don't know about that! Others don't seem to know, and Master Long doesn't allow everyone to ask. ”

"That'...... Could there be anything important in the sleeping cupboard? Lan Xinmei said thoughtfully.

"I don't know."

"Whoa! Do you carry those two sleeping cabinets heavy? Lan Xinmei asked again.

"Heavy! How can a sleeping cabinet not be heavy? It's hard for the two of us to lift it! ”

"Then let me ask you, is this sleeping cabinet heavier than the average sleeping cabinet?"

"How do I know that! I didn't lift the other sleeping cabinets. Besides, the weight of the sleeping cabinet is different due to different materials! Liu Kefan said honestly.

"Hmm...... Good! I believe that you did something for Lord Long last night, so I won't blame you! But don't take it as an example, if there is anything in the future, you must say hello in advance, and you are no longer allowed to play no-show! Although Lan Xinmei didn't find out the details of the matter, he finally learned valuable information and could ask his master for credit.

As soon as Lan Xinmei returned to the West Building, she told her master Zhao Shuxian everything about Liu Kefan's words. After Zhao Shuxian heard this, she also felt that something was strange, but she couldn't figure out the secret of the sleeping cabinet for a while, so she had to tell her cousin and Long Zhengyi's biological father Zhao Tong about the situation. Zhao Tong couldn't guess the truth for a while, but it was estimated to be a very important and valuable thing. At the same time, Zhao Shuxian and Zhao Tong both believe that no matter what treasure the Long family has, it should be owned by Long Zhengyi, the eldest son of the long house; At least one copy of Long Zhengyi; How did you get it to Qin Keqing's room? No way! Be sure to figure things out, and get the baby out when necessary - Zhao Tong asked Zhao Shuxian to pay close attention to Long Zaitian's behavior, words and deeds, and then slowly figure it out.

The wind is cold, and the weather is cold. On the seventh day of the 11th month of the 10th year of the Republic of China, the old lady Long Qingyun did not survive the invasion of the severe cold, and his heart stopped beating at the age of 71.

Long Qingyun stopped breathing, Li Xiangjun cried to death, and he wanted to follow him. Long Zaitian, Qin Keqing, Zhao Shuxian and good neighbor friend Xu Qian repeatedly persuaded her to mourn and be lenient, and she endured her grief.

The body of the old lady Long Qingyun was parked in the lobby of the East Building after being cleaned and changed by Fu. All the relatives and friends of the Long family, officials from Jiangzhou's political, military, and police circles, as well as leading figures in the educational, medical, medical, and industrial and commercial circles, all came to mourn with tin foil, dead tickets, wreaths, scarves and other memorial ceremonies. Even some poor people who had received the favor of the Long family also bought yellow money to mourn and mourn.

Including Xiao Hanguang, the former governor of Jiangzhou, Zhou Fengchi, the former prefect, Zheng Boxiong, the commander of the Jiangzhou garrison (Zheng Boxiong has just replaced the former commander of the garrison, Li Jianwu), Ding Yaozu, president of the Chamber of Commerce, He Bingxian, president of the Jiangzhou Court, and Dai Jifeng, the principal of Beichen School, all kowtowed to the body. The former prefect Xiao Hanguang, Master Zhou, President Ding, President Dai, Dean He, Commander Zheng and others all inscribed highly praised couplets on the huge banners.

The inscription of Commander Zheng Boxiong is:

A generation of scholars is selfless and fearless

Septuagenarian life is full of sound

The inscription of the Governor of Xiao is:

Outstanding political achievements, beautiful celebrities for centuries

Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and merit will be famous through the ages

Dean Ho Bingxian's inscription is:

Vigorously achieve great things

Mercy and mercy for all peoples

Principal Dai Jifeng's inscription is:

The old lady dragon can sing, cry and respect

Erudite and elegant Confucianism has been passed down from generation to generation

Long Qingyun's body was parked for three days before being buried. The coffin was made of a whole section of cedar wood, divided into two layers of outer coffin and inner coffin, and it took eight carpenters a whole day to complete it (according to local customs, the coffin must be made within one day), and painted several layers of black paint overnight that day. And on the head of the coffin stall pasted "first test the spirit of Mr. Longgong Qingyun" twelve golden words on gold paper.

In addition to Long Qingyun's usual favorite clothes in the coffin, there are many beloved utensils as burial companions. The corpses and artifacts were piled with "ingots" and tickets folded into tin foil.

Everything was at a stop, and the invited shaver cut off the hair of his daughter-in-law Long Zaitian, Zhao Shuxian, Qin Keqing, daughter Long Yifang, son-in-law Shen Lin, grandson (Long Tianen has not yet recognized his ancestors) Long Zhengyi, Long Tianci, Long Tianwei, Long Tiangang (Long Tianen has not yet recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors), granddaughter Long Fengyi, and grandson-in-law He Wenxuan's hair and handed them over to Fu. Fu Zhong wrapped the hair with the hemp thread torn from the filial son and wrapped it around the nails of the coffin lid. I could only hear Fu Zhong shouting, "Cover the coffin!" Suddenly, Li Xiangjun, Long Zaitian, Long Yifang and others pounced on the coffin again to see the old lady's remains for the last time.

In the cry of crying for heaven and earth, in the consolation of "festival mourning" and "take care", the final cover is nailed. With the sound of the hammer of the axe and the sound of the filial son's hand slapping the coffin lid, the heavy coffin was tightly sealed.

According to the will of the old lady Li Xiangjun, the coffin of the old lady Long Qingyun was parked in the hall for 7749 days before it was buried in the ground. The glorious life of Long Qingyun, a generation of erudite and elegant scholars and a well-known benefactor, came to an end with a little regret.

After that, the old lady assigned the carpenter to make a large tablet, and wrote "The spiritual seat of Mr. Qingyun of Longgong first" in the official script

And wrote the four big characters of "chasing the distance in the end" at the end of the day. Wrap the head of the brand with red silk cloth and enshrine it in the west head of the cabinet of the gods.

death, no one wants to accept it; But death is the common end of everyone, the common destination of mortals and greats, the best invention of life, which cleans away the old to make way for the new.

According to the rules and customs of Jiangzhou City, "the first seven", "two seven", and "three seven" are filial piety dragons "burning" in the sky, that is, memorial practices; Long Ye complied one by one.

"Four-seven" should be the nephew "burned". But the four generations of the Long family have been passed down alone, and Long Qingyun has no nephew, so "Four Seven" is still a filial son Long Zaitian.

"Five-seven" is the daughter and son-in-law "burned". Long Zaitian's sister Long Yifang and brother-in-law Shen Lin made "five sevens" for the old lady.

"Six or seven" is still a filial dragon in the sky.

The twenty-fifth day of the lunar month of the year of Xinyou is the day when the old lady Long Qingyun burns the "end seven". That night, twelve great monks, including Elder Huiming of Dongyue Palace, whom Long had invited early in the morning, came to the east tower of Longfu to set off flames and do things for the old lady, so as to surpass the undead.

Every time the monks finished reciting a scripture, they asked the descendants of the Long family to burn paper and kowtow, and it was also a five-body kowtow. After reciting more than a dozen scriptures, the descendants of the Long family have to burn the paper more than a dozen times and kowtow to the ground more than a dozen times.

In the middle of the night, Qin Keqing, who was dizzy from kowtowing, accidentally slipped the shawl on his shoulder onto the brazier that burned paper. Long Zaitian, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly pulled down the shawl from Qin Keqing's shoulder, although the clothes were not in the way, the shawl had already burned a corner.

Qin Keqing's shawl was burned, and her personal maid Zhang Caidie didn't need to be instructed, she said to Qin Keqing, and went to the front building to get a new shawl for the master.

The wind hunts, and the sky is like ink. Zhang Caidie was walking forward, and suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps behind her; And the footsteps seemed to follow her pace, either quickly or slowly.

Who is it? There are many high-level martial arts nurseries in this Dragon Mansion, and ordinary people dare not easily enter the Dragon Mansion to commit crimes. Could it be someone from the house? What are the people in the house doing after me? Could it be him? Thinking of this, Zhang Caidie suddenly turned around and asked, "Who?" ”

As Zhang Caidie broke off, a figure flashed out from behind the tree and stammered, "Cai...... Butterfly picking! You...... Don't be afraid! Be...... It's me. ”

When you hear it, you know who it is. As soon as Zhang Caidie heard the familiar stuttering sound, she knew that it was Ke Jin, the second chef in the room, and knew in her heart that this person was coming; Therefore, he said with a sullen face:

"Ke Jin, this black light is blinding, what are you doing behind me? I thought it was a thief! ”

This Ke Jin is a bit of a speech disorder" - stuttering. In the history of our country, there are many people who stutter, and it is not uncommon for celebrities to stutter. But most have a "compensatory response". The so-called "compensatory response" means that words can't do it, and other efforts can be done.

For example, the famous Han Fei is stuttering, but his articles are world-famous. In "Historical Records: The Biography of Lao Tzu Han Fei", it is said that Han Fei: "For stuttering, you can't talk about it, but you are good at compiling books." ”

The same is true of Sima Xiangru, the Western Han Dynasty poet. "Historical Records: The Biography of Sima Xiangru" contains Xiangru: "Clumsy and good at writing." There are also Zhou Chang, who repeatedly admonished Liu Bang, Er Kuan, a scholar in the Han Dynasty, Yang Xiong, a great writer, He Xiu in the Later Han Dynasty, Fan Ye, Zhiyu, Pan Yue, Guo Huang, etc. in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, who are all stutterers.

"Hanshu Yang Xiong's Biography": "Male stuttering can't be dramatic, silent and deep thinking." ”

"Jin Shu Guo Huang Biography": "Huang is good at scriptures, erudite and talented, and he is good at speech, and his words are the crown of the middle." ”

Feng Youlan, a famous professor at Tsinghua University, also stutters. Although he was not comfortable with his lectures, the students listened with relish and were easy to accept.

King George VI (Elizabeth's husband) also stuttered and never healed it throughout his life.

Vice President of the United States, Joseph Biden, stuttered since he was a child, until he entered the political arena and memorized poetry every day, before he got better.

This compensatory response in humans is not only in the "realm of stuttering", but is also widespread in other areas. For example, if a blind person has no vision, his hearing is particularly good; Deaf people who have no hearing have very good eyesight. As said in "Wenzi Shangde": "The turtle has no ears and its eyes cannot be hidden, and it is good at understanding; Blind and deaf, good at hearing. That's exactly what I mean.

However, Ke Jin, who stutters, has no "compensatory reaction" - he has neither advanced culture nor other abilities; And he is honest and honest. Therefore, they helped him introduce several women, but they were unsuccessful. Seeing that he was approaching his years and had never started a family, Ke Jin fell in love with the second wife Qin Keqing's personal maid Zhang Caidie wishfully.

"Mining...... Butterfly picking! I bought a brooch and wanted to ...... I want to give it to you. "Ke Jin's courtship method, although it is very vulgar, but the heart is real.

"Whoever wants your brooch, you can take it back and put it on your mother!" Ke Jin secretly fell in love with Zhang Caidie, but Zhang Caidie didn't like Ke Jin at all.

"Mining...... Butterfly picking! I...... I just wanted to give you a ...... A brooch, nothing else...... Other thoughts. This Ke Jin already had a stutter, and being scolded by Zhang Caidie made him even more nervous and stammered.

"No matter what you think, I won't ask for your brooch, you can go." Zhang Caidie said, and then accelerated his pace and walked forward.

"You...... Look at me...... I've already bought it, you...... Just take it! ”

"As I said, I won't ask for your brooch anyway." Zhang Caidie said angrily.

"This ......" the honest Ke Jin is out of line.

While the two were talking, they had already reached the front building. Zhang Caidie stopped and solemnly declared:

"Ke Jin! This is the residence of Master Long, I will go upstairs to get a shawl for the second wife, you hurry back, you are not allowed to step into the door of the building for half a step. ”

"This ...... Be! I...... I don't go upstairs, I ...... I'll be waiting for you downstairs here. ”

"I don't want you to wait, you go back quickly."

"Good, good! I...... I don't wait! I don't wait! You...... Hurry up and get up! Ke Jin said that he was not waiting, but his feet did not move.

Zhang Caidie didn't want to say anything more to Ke Jin, so she turned around and walked up the steps quickly.

Zhang Caidie came to the door of the building, pushed the door into the house and turned on the lights, went upstairs to open the door lock of the room, took a shawl and was about to come out; But I saw that the bedding on the sleeping cabinet where Long Ye and ** Grandma Qin Keqing slept was very messy, and then I saw that the pillow was also turned over - this must have been moved.

Although Zhang Caidie didn't know what treasures were in the sleeping cabinet, she knew that since this sleeping cabinet was moved, Long Ye and Qin Keqing had not slept on the big and good "three drops of water" mahogany bed, and had been sleeping on this sleeping cabinet, so she guessed that there must be something very important in the sleeping cabinet - the bedding and pillows on the sleeping cabinet were turned over today, which means that someone had come to the room; And this man must have come for something in the sleeping cupboardβ€”huh! Ke Jin was a fake thief just now, and now he is really a thief?

The loyal Zhang Caidie thought of this, so he looked around, but saw that there seemed to be a figure behind the tent on the right side of the bed; Zhang Caidie, who didn't expect to deal with it with wisdom, shouted: "Who? ”

A little woman's shout did not have much deterrent power, and the figure behind the tent did not react.

Zhang Caidie didn't react when she saw the tent, and then shouted: "Who are you?" If you don't come out again, I'll call someone! ”

There was still no response behind the tent.

Zhang Caidie saw that the man neither came out nor echoed, so he let go of his voice and shouted downstairs: "Ke Jin......"

It's too late, it's too soon! When Zhang Caidie just shouted out the word "Ke", he saw a masked man jumping out from behind the tent; When Zhang Caidie shouted the word "enter" again, a bright dagger was inserted into her chest, and then she stabbed her twice, completely ending Zhang Caidie's life.

At the same time as the masked man assassinated Zhang Caidie, Zhang Caidie also made a dying resistance - she not only scratched the masked man's face, but also pulled a pinch of peach buttons from the masked man's shirt.

Ke Jin, who was waiting for Zhang Caidie downstairs, was playing with the brooch, and suddenly heard Zhang Caidie calling him urgently, and there was a doubt in his heart: She didn't allow me to go upstairs before, why did she call me upstairs now? Don't...... Ke didn't have time to think about it, so he strode into the door and prepared to run to the second floor. As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he saw a thin black shadow flying down from the upper floor, and bumped into him; The black shadow slapped at him, and then flashed out of the door and disappeared!

Ke Jin was slapped by the thief and almost fell down the stairs; When he came to his senses, he hurriedly went upstairs to visit Zhang Caidie, but saw that Zhang Caidie had fallen in a pool of blood......

Qin Keqing, who was still burning paper and kowtowing, saw that Zhang Caidie, who went to get the shawl, had not come for a long time, and was suspicious, so he told Long Ye about it. Long Ye guessed that Zhang Caidie might be in the thatched house or something else, so he persuaded Qin Keqing not to worry, maybe he would come in a while.

After a while, Zhang Caidie still didn't come with a shawl, and Long Ye was also suspicious, so he asked Liu Kefan, the captain of the nursing home, to go to the front to take a look.

Liu Kefan came to the front building and saw the door open; was about to go upstairs to inspect, but saw Ke Jin, the second chef in the room, coming down from upstairs in a panic, and kept exclaiming:

"Come on...... Someone's coming! Save...... Help me! ……”

Liu Kefan was shocked when he heard Ke Jin shouting for help, he grabbed Ke Jin's shirt and asked:

"Ke Jin! How did you end up here? Who wants your life? Where is Zhang Caidie? Liu Kefan thought that someone was chasing Ke Jin.

"No...... It's not that anyone wants to ...... If you want my life, ...... It's Zhang Caidie, who was ...... Killed...... Killed ......," Ke Jin stammered.

"Zhang Caidie was killed? Really? Who killed it? Liu Kefan asked loudly.

"Yes...... Be...... Yes...... There is a thief...... The thief ran away......" Ke Jin gestured with his hand vigorously, but he couldn't tell the situation.

Liu Kefan pulled Ke in to Long Ye's room and shouted "Zhang Caidie" a few times inside, but no one answered; walked into the room to take a look, but saw Zhang Caidie lying in a pool of blood and already dying.

Liu Kefan hurriedly shouted to someone! Some nurses heard Captain Liu's shout, so they came to ask what was going on. Liu Kefan asked the nursing home to be optimistic about the scene, and he took Ke Jin to the "Thinking Room" and tied Ke Jin with a rope; Then he rushed back to the East Building and reported the whole situation to Long Ye.

When Long Ye heard this, he was also surprised; However, in order not to affect the progress of the rituals, he did not make a statement for a while. He estimated that the murderer had gone away, so he ordered Liu Kefan to send people to strengthen the protection of the scene, and carefully search the inside and outside of the house, inside and outside the courtyard, to see if there were any clues.

The ritual did not end until more than eleven o'clock in the night, and Master Long sent Elder Huiming and the monks away, and told Qin Keqing a simple situation, telling her not to be afraid; and sent her to the old lady's room, saying only that he was with the old lady; Let two maids wait, send two guards to protect, and hurried to the front building.

As soon as Long Ye entered the room, he saw that the bedding and pillows on the sleeping cabinet had been turned over, and then he looked at other things intact; I know that the thieves are here for the contents of the sleeping cupboard. Long Ye stepped forward, and saw Zhang Caidie lying in a pool of blood on the right side of the sleeping cabinet; After a closer inspection, it is basically determined that it was stabbed by a sharp knife - could this be Ke Jin's doing? He works in the kitchen, and getting a sharp knife is no problem.

Long Ye asked Liu Kefan to bring Ke Jin, at this time Ke Jin had already relieved himself, he saw Long Ye, and shouted incessantly that he was wronged.

"Dragon...... Lord Long! I...... I didn't kill the butterfly! I...... I was wronged! ”

"Ke Jin! It's been three watches in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the front building? Long Ye asked in a fierce voice.

"Lord Long! I...... I see the chapter...... Zhang Caidie came out to replace ...... Get a shawl for ** milk, I ...... I'll just come out and ...... Ready to send a chest ...... Brooch to the ...... Zhang Caidie's. Ke Jin said, and took out the brooch from his clothes pocket and showed it to Long Ye as proof.

"You sent the brooch to Zhang Caidie, why didn't you send it during the day, but you sent it at night?" Long Ye had also heard Qin Keqing say that Ke Jin, the second chef in the kitchen, was a little interesting to Zhang Caidie, but Zhang Caidie didn't like him. Could it be that Ke Jin was in a hurry to kill someone? Therefore, Long Ye continued to ask with a straight face.

"During the day she ...... She ...... inch Not an inch away from ** milk, not ...... It's not easy to send, and I'm afraid of ...... I'm afraid that people will see me laughing at me, so I just look at it...... Look for this opportunity in the evening. ”

"So the two of you went upstairs together?"

"I didn't ...... No! I'll send a brooch to Zhang...... Zhang Caidie, she doesn't want it, I'll ...... with her Ran to the door of the building together, she didn't allow me to go upstairs, she ...... She went up alone, and I ...... I was waiting for her at the door. ”

"When was that Zhang Caidie killed? Who killed it? "Master Long also knows that Ke Jin is honest and will not lie; Even if Zhang Caidie didn't agree to him, he wouldn't have the heart to kill. As a result, the tone softened a little.

Chapter ...... Zhang Caidie went upstairs, I ...... I was waiting for her downstairs, and after a while, I heard the chapter...... Zhang Caidie called me Ke Jin, but the word 'enter' is not finished...... Completely shouted, there was no sound. I...... I think it's ...... It's strange - she wouldn't let me go upstairs before, and now ...... And now they call me again, and they call me ...... What do you want me to do? Be...... Are you calling me upstairs? Still...... Or what? I...... I didn't have time to think about it, so I ...... So he ran upstairs, but he ...... But I saw you on the stairs...... I saw a man dressed in black, from ...... Coming down from the upper floors, ...... He slapped me in the palm and rushed out the door! Long Ye's tone softened a little, and Ke Jin's stuttering was better, and he spoke more neatly.

"And what do you see that man look like?" Seeing that Ke Jin spoke so smoothly and realistically, Long Ye felt a little believed in his heart, so his tone was even more relaxed.

"That'...... The man was dressed in a black night suit and had a ...... face His face was also covered with a black cloth, so that he could not see the long ...... What he looks like, but his body is very thin. ”

"The guy was wearing a black night suit? Face also covered with a black cloth? Skinny and small? Long Ye chewed on what Ke Jin said, and seemed to have an understanding; Then he turned around and looked at Zhang Caidie carefully, only to see that Zhang Caidie was still holding something tightly on his right hand. Long Ye broke off Zhang Caidie's right finger and saw that it was a pinch of black double-row peach buttons, and there was still a trace of flesh and skin in the tip of his left fingernail.

Long Ye thought in his heart, this black double-row plate peach button seemed to have been seen somewhere...... Oh! That's right! This kind of black peach button is only available to the subordinates of the "Tiandaotang" Snow Leopard.

However, all the official members of the "Tiandao Hall" Snow Leopard are all white inside and black outside; And the black clothes on the outside are all cardigans with peach buttons.

In order to show the rank, this black cardigan is distinguished by texture and peach buttons: the general minion cardigan is a black cloth single-row peach button, the team leader's first-level cardigan is a black cloth double-row peach button, the captain's first-level cardigan is a black cloth three-row peach button, and the high-level personnel wear a black satin shirt, and the buttons are also three-row peach buttons made of black satin.

The button on Zhang Caidie's hand is a black cloth double-row peach button, which basically shows that the thief is a team leader under the snow leopard in the "Tiandaotang".

A squad leader under the "Tiandaotang" Snow Leopard? Could that be Zhao Shuxian's cousin Zhao Tong? Well! Quite possibly! Zhao Tong is a team leader under the snow leopard in the "Tiandaotang", and he "divides labor" in this area; Moreover, their sister and brother have always held a grudge against me, Long Zaitian.

Long Ye paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the ins and outs of the incident; Suddenly, he turned around and inspected Ke Jin's cheeks and neck, and then inspected Ke Jin's clothes up and down, and then resolutely asked Liu Kefan to loosen Ke Jin's ties. But it is estimated that the thieves will come again, and the dragon master will take care of Ke Jin - once there are more thieves in the mansion, Ke Jin should get as close to him as possible and see his face clearly. Ke Jin was very grateful to see that Long Ye was so perceptive, and he relieved his doubts; immediately said clearly: If there are any more thieves in the house in the future, he must not be afraid of danger, try to get close to the thieves, find out his face, solve the case for Long Ye, and clear his name.

After Ke Jin thanked Long Ye for not killing him and left, Long Ye and Liu Kefan carefully observed the scene and analyzed the case; However, someone came to report that there were trampling marks on the flowers and plants under the old locust tree in the back garden, and there were also dirt footprints on the wall under the tree; From this, it can be inferred that the thieves used the old locust tree as a carrier to enter and exit from the wall of the back garden.

At this point, Long Ye's suspicion of Zhao Tong was even heavier; And it is estimated that it is likely that Zhao Shuxian leaked the secret of the sleeping cabinet to Zhao Tong, so Zhao Tong came to rummage through the sleeping cabinet to find something; was bumped into by Zhang Caidie, who came upstairs to get the shawl, so he killed people. But how did Zhao Shuxian know the secret of the sleeping cabinet? This matter must be investigated from the few people who carried the sleeping cabinet.

"Sir! Zhang Caidie is dead, people's lives are at stake, do you want to report this matter? Liu Kefan saw that Long Ye was silent in thought, and asked softly from the side.

"I can't report this yet. You want to! If the case is reported, those officials and police officers will definitely come to investigate and break the casserole (ask) to the end, then it will be a big trouble! ”

"That'...... What should I do? Liu Kefan asked again.

"That's it, you go and call Steward Feng, I have my own arrangements." Long Ye commanded.

Liu Kefan went to call Steward Feng, and Master Long took care of the two of them and the nursing home that protected the scene, and he must block the news, strictly keep secrets, and not let anyone know about Zhang Caidie's murder. and assigned Steward Feng to go to Zhang Caidie's house as soon as possible, invite her parents to come, and said that there was something important to discuss.

Steward Feng was ordered to go to Zhang's house to wake up Zhang Caidie's parents from their sleep, only saying that there was something important and asking the second elder to go to the Dragon Mansion immediately. Zhang's father and Zhang's mother didn't know what was going on, so they had to follow Steward Feng to the Dragon Mansion in confusion.

Master Long warmly received Zhang Caidie's parents, and after inviting the second elder to sit down and drink tea, he tactfully told Zhang's father and mother about Zhang Caidie's murder one by one, and discussed the aftermath of Zhang Caidie.

Zhang Caidie's parents heard that their daughter was killed at a young age, and they were in pain. Master Long and Steward Feng repeatedly persuaded the two elders to mourn the change, and Zhang's father and mother stopped their grief.

After Long Ye expressed his grief and apologies to Zhang Caidie's parents, he assured the second elder that he would definitely find out the murderer and avenge Zhang Caidie. At the same time, Long Ye also said that he was willing to take out two gold bars and 3,000 oceans as Zhang Caidie's funeral expenses and compensation, and asked Zhang's father and mother not to accept it.

Zhang's father and mother remembered that Long Ye and ** milk Qin Keqing usually care for Zhang Caidie, and did not say too many sad words, and after some polite excuses, they also took the gold bars and the ocean, and quietly transported Zhang Caidie's body back in the night.
