The investigation of Song Zhizhang was quietly going on, worried that he had accomplices, and Liu Jia didn't even tell the domestic servants. Only a few cronies investigated with her.

They were very efficient, and that night in the name of reconciliation, they counted all the parts of the person who were full of their own pockets.

Tang and Rou were not interested in the outcome of this matter.

She didn't even remember the name of the troublemaker.

This time it was only affected, and the other party's target was not her, but all the people who might expose him for stealing alcohol. If it was just because a villain had become a stumbling block on her way to making money, wouldn't she be too tired to help Liu Jia catch the mastermind behind the scenes?

In the evening of the same day, she and the young lady Dou'er planned to spend the night in the chase shop, and went to the carpenter's shop by the way, only to find that the carpenter had made a lot of wood and planned to transport it to Qingyu Village by board truck.

In this case, the three of them sat on the cart and returned to the village with a few carpenters.

……

Early the next morning.

A beggar limped to the door of the willow house with a tree branch.

The beggar was ragged and bloodied, and it was impossible to tell whether he had been bitten by a wild beast or beaten. The shape of his calves was twisted, apparently broken, and he stepped on the mud one deep and one shallow.

Walking back to the city overnight, his feet came out of the blood blisters and stuck to the footprints.

The two housekeepers sat on the side of the steps, guarding the door, eating peanuts, and chatting about "master" Liu.

"It's so nice to be a good man, and he gave us people peanuts. If it were in another house, it would be good if we weren't invited to eat whips. ”

"Isn't it, our master is the best hearted among the wealthy merchants in Yuncheng!"

"Why doesn't the lord like people to call her Mrs.? She's obviously a woman. ”

"How domineering it is to call the master, to call it the lady, I always feel that it will be a dwarf."

As the two talked, the beggar approached.

A housekeeper raised his hand to drive him away: "Where did the stinky beggar come from?" Go away, go away, this is not a temple, go away! ”

The beggar's throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and he said weakly: "I am a handyman of Fumanlou, and I have come to the owner ......."

Jia Ding looked at his torn clothes with a suspicious face, and asked, "If you are a handyman, you should work in Fumanlou at this point, how can you be a handyman?" You are not wearing the clothes that Fu Manlou issued to the miscellaneous servants. ”

The handyman let go of the branches, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the two of them, and pleaded bitterly: "I really am, I really am!" Please inform the owner, I have something very important to tell her! ”

"What's the matter?"

Inside the gate of the house, a servant woman dressed in brocade walked out of it, stepped on embroidered shoes, and came to the gate.

The two family members saluted her respectfully: "Uncle Zhou, this beggar said that he was a handyman in Fumanlou and wanted to see our host." ”

Zhou Boniang stroked her hair, snorted, glanced at the beggar with disdain, and walked back to the house: "It's sent away, how can this kind of beggar be a miscellaneous servant?" ”

She is Liu Changqing's nurse, and she also helps Liu Jia with some things in the house on weekdays.

In recent years, the Liu family's fame has become more and more famous, and many beggars have come to ask Liu Jia for money. Liu Jia would occasionally lead a team out to do business and purchase goods, and once let a beggar take advantage of a loophole, pretending to be her distant relative to eat and drink at Liu Jia's house for several days, until Liu Jia returned.

From that time on, all the beggars who came to the willow house, no matter who they were, would be sent away.

The handyman knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "I am really a handyman of Fumanlou, I want to find the owner, I can't say anything else, if I say it, I will die......"

This miscellaneous servant is bitter in his heart.

He accepted Song Zhizhang's silver and ran out of the city overnight, but on the way, he met a bandit who robbed him halfway, robbed all his silver, and pushed him down the mountain.

He almost fell to his death, and he narrowly encountered a wild beast before escaping back.

But this thing is too strange. Shouldn't robbers come in droves to rob? Why is there a robber who robs someone instead of robbing him?

In the middle of the night, it was so dark, he was walking alone on the road, how could he be targeted?

Most of this bandit is that Song Zhizhang wants to get the silver back, or he just doesn't want people to know that he stole the wine in the wine cellar, so he is looking for someone to kill him.

That's terrible, isn't it?

Worried that there are also people in the house who know Song Zhizhang, this miscellaneous servant will not tell the inside story when he is killed.

Zhou Boniang and the family had no way to interrogate, only treated him as a beggar, and finally only gave him a bowl of water and a handful of peanuts, and drove him away.

The handyman had no choice but to pick up the branches and walk in the direction of Fumanlou.

……

Tang and Gentle Hachi meet near the Willow House.

According to the agreement, I will come to Liu Jia today to report on yesterday's situation.

The young lady and Dou'er did not follow her today, but stayed in the village and had their own tasks.

Before, those wolf offal and wolf heads were all placed in the yard, I thought they were all rotten and unusable at this time, but I didn't expect a snail girl to clean them all up.

The young lady needs to make a wolf skin coat from the sun-dried wolf skin, and Dou'er needs to find this kind person who will help them clean up the yard.

If it weren't for Liu Jia to make an installment payment, she would just want to stay in the dilapidated house and watch the carpenter tear down the house and build a new house.

Today she is wearing a linen dress made by a young lady, and coincidentally, Xiaoba is also wearing an ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and the two are not recognizable at all.

Anyway, he just came to find Liu Jia, and he didn't need to wear the clothes worn by Xiao Er and the miscellaneous servants in Fuman Building.

After they meet, head to the Yanagi House.

Tang and Rou said to Xiaoba, "You will report later." ”

Although Xiaoba was a little in awe of Liu Jia and didn't even dare to look at her when he spoke, he knew that it was his turn to behave at this time.

This Tang and Rou Ke are really his lucky stars, and his monthly salary for working in the private room is ten times higher than that of the back kitchen.

He even hopes to redeem himself and return to his hometown to find his relatives.

He was very grateful to Tang and Rou, bowed and said, "If there is anything wrong, please remind Sister Rou in time!" ”

The two walked to the door of the Liu Mansion, there were a lot of peanut shells piled up on the steps, and the two family members sat on the steps, sitting or not, and there was no consciousness of the rich businessman's gatekeeper at all.

Jia Ding chewed on peanuts: "Yo, here are two more." ”

Tang Yourou frowned: "Please let me know, we are here to find the owner." ”

Jiading: "I'm really looking for the owner." You don't think you're also a handyman in Fumanlou, right? ”

Tang and Rouhe Hachi glanced at each other, a little puzzled.

Xiaoba said: "I'm a handyman in Fumanlou, not Sister Rou." ”

The family sat on the steps, chewing peanuts, throwing peanut shells to the ground, and said in a cheerful tone: "Another handyman? Go away, for no money will be given to you. ”

"We have to report something to Boss Liu, we shouldn't need to inform you, right?" Tang and Rou were a little annoyed when they saw that this Ding had such a lazy attitude, and said, "Please go and tell Boss Liu, just say that I, Tang and Rou, have arrived." ”

"Who is it?"

The door opened.

A middle-aged servant woman stepped out.
