Chapter 184: Acting in pairs
Of course, comparing it with the maid's clothes confirms this.
took the fabric and left the scene of the crime, and went directly to the old lady.
But as soon as she arrived at the old lady's yard, she was stopped by the housekeeper, "Lord Gu, Lord Zhen, why is this maid dead again?" ”
The housekeeper looked uncomfortable, sighing as if he had aged a lot.
"Housekeeper, there is such a big thing in the house, why don't you see the old lady? This maid ......"
"Lord Zhen, this maid is Madame's favorite maid, I heard that she died, Madame was heartbroken, and she just fell asleep." Zhen Chutian was interrupted by the housekeeper as soon as he mentioned the maid.
These words sounded and said correctly, but Zhen Chutian noticed that he was tired.
"Oh, is it? That lady has to take care of her body, this is the prime minister first, and then the son-in-law, I think the lady's body bones should really be protected. Zhen Chutian looked at the housekeeper thoughtfully.
The meaning of making a mystery is too heavy, and the housekeeper was in a fog by Zhen Chutian's words, and he didn't know what she meant by what she said.
But Zhen Chutian didn't give the housekeeper too much time to think about it, bowed down and said goodbye and left the house directly.
Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhen Chutian grabbed the little guy who came out of the attachment, "Where are the costumes of the old lady in your mansion made?" ”
The little guy was suddenly pulled by someone, first stunned, and then looked at Zhen Chutian.
Although he was just a small servant, he also knew that Zhen Chutian and the others were the Beijing officials who came to investigate the case of the old man's death, so he became a lot more cautious in his words.
"Adults, small ones don't know."
The little guy's dodging eyes betrayed him, and he thought he was hiding it well.
Zhen Chutian didn't hesitate for a moment to take out some broken silver from his arms, "Little brother, we have no other intentions, we just think that Madame's clothes and fabrics are very good, and we want to find a piece of cloth and make some clothes or something." ”
The little servant was forcibly stuffed with some silver, and with Zhen Chutian's harmless words, he relented, "My wife's clothes are all purchased from the best tailor shop in Lizhou, and the ready-to-wear clothes are also made there, just over the west wing in the city." ”
"Okay, thank you, little brother."
Getting the answer he wanted, Zhen Chutian left with Gu Chenghan with a smile on his face.
Along the way, the two of them didn't say much, each thinking about the doubts in their hearts, and when they were about to get to the shop, the two opened their mouths in unison, "You say ......"
With such a heart, Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian even more differently, "Please." ”
"Master Gu, that little respectful might as well obey your fate." Zhen Chutian smiled in return, and then said seriously: "The maid's death must be related to Mrs., if this fabric is Mrs., then you have to force yourself into the hospital." ”
With such an idea in his heart, Zhen Chutian felt that he still had to talk to Gu Chenghan, let him know, and let him support him.
"That's natural, now that the case has entered a dead end, there is such a breakthrough, I naturally won't let it go." knew that Zhen Chutian was worried about his relationship with the prime minister, and it was he who looked at her with a fixed gaze.
"Yes."
The two of them entered the tailor's shop one after the other.
"Two, do you want ready-to-wear or fabric? The clothes in our shop are definitely the best in the whole of Laizhou. The shopkeeper saw Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan come in, and began to sell enthusiastically.
"This fabric belongs to your shop, and I am very rare." Zhen Chutian behaved like a little lady.
"The girl really has a vision, this fabric is really only available in our shop, only two pieces were bought by the prime minister's wife, and there will only be one left."
This fabric is the best fabric in the shop, and if it is sold, Xiao Er will naturally be happy.
"Madame Prime Minister? Her ready-to-wear is also good, is she wearing this fabric alone? Zhen Chutian pretended to ask casually.
Xiao Er bowed down and followed behind Zhen Chutian, seeing that she had been fiddling with those fabrics, thinking that she was not a big family and could buy a lot of fabrics, so she simply explained more carefully.
"Yes, this fabric is very good, and the prime minister's wife's concubine is not in Lizhou, so she is naturally the only one who wears this dress, and the ready-to-wear clothes made that time are also made according to the size of the lady."
This confirms that the fabric can only belong to the Prime Minister's wife.
"Well, I'll take a look at it then."
After speaking, he directly pulled Gu Chenghan out of the shop.
In her previous life, if she went to the store to buy clothes and liked them, but the price was not accepted, she would choose to slip away, in Zhen Chutian's consumption concept, as long as she hesitated, she didn't really like it, so there was no need to waste it.
Gu Chenghan didn't even react to what was going on, so he was pulled out.
When the two of them stopped in a secluded place and looked at Zhen Chutian's smiling eyes, Gu Chenghan said, "Why do you want to run, just buy the fabric." ”
"That fabric is obviously suitable for the prime minister's wife's age, and I don't like that at my age." explained casually, and then turned the topic away and talked about the prime minister's wife.
"Go ahead, I'll ask myself." A trace of certainty flashed on Gu Chenghan's handsome face, and he didn't know whether to give himself faith or give Zhen Chutian confidence.
When the two of them returned to the house, it was already an hour later, and the housekeeper was pacing back and forth in the front hall, worrying for some reason, when he saw Zhen Chutian, he stepped forward quickly, "Lord Gu, Lord Zhen, you are back." ”
Seeing that the housekeeper was so flustered, Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Butler, I didn't see you so flustered in the past, what happened, even you are so uncalm?" Gu Chenghan looked at the housekeeper jokingly, and his tone of voice was also light, in order to let him relax his vigilance.
"Master Gu, don't laugh, this can be a torment for the old slave, it's Madame, Madame is sad and fainted excessively, this doctor is being treated." The butler sighed as he spoke.
It seems that the old lady is going to be sick.
However, Zhen Chutian had a hint of firmness in his eyes because of the housekeeper's words.
At first she only suspected that the old lady had something to do with the maid's death, but now she was sure of it.
"Since we live in the Prime Minister's Mansion and my wife is sick, we should go to visit, and the housekeeper will lead the way." Zhen Chutian couldn't help but make a gesture of please.
This will Zhen Chutian's eyes were firm, his eyes did not hesitate, the housekeeper wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he responded directly.
"Two adults, please come with me." The housekeeper reluctantly took the lead in front, and soon came to the courtyard where the lady was.
There were a lot of maids and maids gathered in the courtyard, and at this time, the clouds were dense, as if the sky had fallen.
The corners of Zhen Chutian's mouth rose, it seems that the prime minister's wife had a premeditated plan, in order to hide people's eyes, she took great pains.
"I don't know, I still think that Madame, is she going to go with the prime minister?" Zhen Chutian whispered in Gu Chenghan's ear.
"Be careful that they hear and kick you out, the official won't be able to protect you." Gu Chenghan is chic, dressed in red with a folding fan, and he said his leisurely at the moment.
Zhen Chutian shrugged slightly, "The adults are too worried." ”
Without saying anything else, he followed the butler into the house.
Kneeling on the ground, a few maids trembled, Zhen Chutian looked at the housekeeper puzzled, "This is?" ”
"Oh, these people were in contact with the maid before she died, and the lady was angry and called these people to come and ask questions, but they didn't ask anything, and they fainted in anger, but the doctor was watching, and it should be fine."
The butler looked inside, but it really looked like nothing had happened.
In this way, Zhen Chutian followed closely into his wife.
Coincidentally, as soon as the three of them entered, the doctor happened to get up and write a prescription for the maid.
At this time, Mrs. Lan was also waiting in front of her, beckoning the maid to help the old lady up, "Mother, how do you feel?" Is it better? ”
"If you want to be angry with these maids, you, don't just be lazy and lazy in the house now, there are so many things in the house one after another, you should also stand up to it." The old lady said as if she was about to die.
"Ahem, cough ......" Gu Chenghan coughed, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that Madame was looking at him, he bowed down, "Madam, are you feeling better?" ”
"Thank you Lord Gu for your concern, it's already okay, knowing that the maid is dead, these people will be handed over to the adult, I hope the adult can find the murderer as soon as possible and avenge my poor maid." As she spoke, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, presumably tears.
"There is Mrs. Lao, I don't know where Mrs. was when the maid died?" Gu Chenghan was not confused by Madame's words, and still asked what he thought in his heart.
The old lady didn't seem to expect Gu Chenghan to be so direct, and immediately panicked, but quickly returned to her previous demeanor, "Lord Gu, is this suspicious of me?" ”
"Routine inquiry, don't be surprised by Madame, after all, it was the maid in front of you who died, why do you have to ask?" Gu Chenghan is used to seeing power schemes, so he naturally knows this kind of human feelings well.
In three or two sentences, the lady's concerns were dispelled.
fell into deep thought, thought for a moment, and then sighed: "Last night, I went to bed early, so I let the maids disperse to rest, that is, she was still decent, how did I know that I received the news of her death early this morning." ”
After that, the tears fell in a daze.
I think the relationship between the lady and the maid is really good.
Gu Chenghan motioned to Zhen Chutian on the side to convince her, but as if she hadn't seen it, she turned her eyes away, because Gu Chenghan could only comfort herself.
After some persuasion, the lady's tears also stopped, and the housekeeper sent Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian out of the courtyard.
"This maid has been following Madame since she was a child, and since Miss Da stayed in the capital, Madame's relationship with her is even more like that of her own daughter, so her death is quite a big blow to Madame, Lord Gu, please catch the murderer as soon as possible." The housekeeper looked at Gu Chenghan with expectation.
"Why should the housekeeper be polite, this is our business." smiled at the housekeeper, helped him up, and left with Zhen Chutian.
"This housekeeper sings and harmonizes with his wife, obviously deliberately concealing it, and it is inevitable that there is no silver here." Zhen Chutian smiled indifferently, and there was a chill on that delicate little face.
Gu Chenghan has seen her like this many times, and every time someone is about to suffer at this time.
"Zhen, why don't you share it with your own official." I knew what she meant, but I still wanted to hear her say it herself.
"My lord, you have a decision in your heart, don't you? Do you still need to say it? Seeing that Gu Chenghan was deliberately embarrassed, Zhen Chutian was unhappy for a while.
"Haha, you, let's go, let's go and see if those maids know anything." The maids found by the housekeeper have already been taken away by Yu Linglong, and now it is estimated that they have asked about the same.
As soon as the two of them arrived, they happened to bump into the angry white dragon envoy, and they were full of arms, and they were just about to scold Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian, so they leaned over, "My lord, Chu Tian, you are here, you are really angry with me." ”
The White Dragon Envoy is not a person who is easily angered, and now that he looks like this, he must be really angry with the other party.
"What's wrong, this is?" Zhen Chutian asked as he walked around the White Dragon Envoy.
