Chapter 16: Arrest

Cui's face was a little unsightly, whether it was the British government or other families, they would not allow such a thing to happen.

She has been in charge of the affairs of the Guogong Mansion for so many years, and she has heard the twists and turns of this backyard even if she has not passed by. What does a gardener do when he goes to Xi's house without permission? Also go to the inner courtyard from the side door! Could it be that this Xi family is secretly spying on the British government!

"I don't know which gardener Sister Heng's steward is?"

Ji Zhun pretended to think, and then said: "I knew that he was in charge of the flowers and trees in my grandfather's study, and it seemed to be called six." ”

After hearing this, Cui's face sank a little more, and she faintly felt that this matter was sloppy.

Ji Zhun saw that the goal was achieved, so he got up and said goodbye, and went out of the Ming Pavilion, Ji Zhun signaled to Zhaoyue with his eyes, Zhaoyue followed in a few steps, Ji Zhun whispered to Zhaoyue: "You have been staring at the point recently, once your uncle asks Nagong Liuzi to ask, let me know as soon as possible." It's not that she doesn't trust her uncle, it's just that she has to deal with this matter well, so that her uncle doesn't know the inside story.

Cui thought for a long time after Ji Zhun left, she thought at first that she was the servant who took care of the flower room in the inner courtyard, but she didn't think that it was actually a person from the outer courtyard, or the person in charge of the vicinity of Grandpa Guo's study, Grandpa Guo's study has always been an important place, and there are many important military aircraft documents such as military armament. No, she had to talk to the old lady about it.

British Library.

"Did the Tilt tell you this?" Grandpa Guo sat on the Taishi chair in the bright room.

"Yes, father, it was the steward on Sister Heng's shop who saw it with his own eyes, this kind of thing will happen, and it is also unfavorable for the daughter-in-law's housekeeper." Cui Shi sat on the chair next to him, a little cramped and uneasy.

The British prince waved his hand, "If people have different hearts, it is not something you can control." You go and call the Dump first, I have something to ask her. ”

Cui Shi stepped back as he was told.

When the time came, the British justice turned his back to her, fiddling with the files on the shelves. Ji Zhun stepped forward and saluted.

The British Duke turned around, walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, "Let's sit sideways." ”

Ji Zhun thanked his grandfather and sat down in the circle chair on the side.

"Grandfather came to ask you, but what did you tell your uncle about the gardener?" The British Duke stared at Ji Zhun with a smile.

"It turns out that my grandfather came to me because of this, and I told my uncle and aunt about it."

"Oh...... The steward in your shop really has a good memory, and he even remembers exactly what the gardener looks like and where he is on an errand. The British duke's smile was even bigger, and his eyes had already seen through Ji Zhun.

"Ah Zhun also sees that he has a good memory......" That being said, Ji Zhun knew that his little tricks would definitely not be able to hide from his grandfather.

"Humph! You're still playing tricks here. "The beard of the English male is curled up and up.

Ji Zhun sighed secretly, Jiang is still old and spicy, fortunately, she didn't plan to hide it, this matter will have to go through her grandfather sooner or later.

Seeing her compromise, the British public said, "Tell me, what do you know?" ”

Ji Zhun hid and asked Li Ruicheng to monitor all the servants, only saying that it was the people in the shop, and he did see that Gong Liuzi was sneaky, and he knocked on the door and entered the Xi Mansion, and he stayed for three incense sticks before he came out, and after coming out, he went to the restaurant and other places, and made a generous move.

The people below felt that it was inappropriate, so they came to report her, but she thought that her uncle had always been good at running the house, and it was the gardener who had betrayed the master, so she turned a corner and reminded her uncle.

"That's all?" The British public asked.

"Grandfather Mingjian, granddaughter has mastered these things now."

"And what are your plans for this?"

"I think this person is misbehaving, and he should investigate it."

The British Duke stretched out his hand and stroked the bookcase, his eyes were aimed at Ji Zhun, and after a while, he said, "Okay, then according to what you say, I will leave it to you and your uncle to deal with first." ”

After Ji Zhun left the study, he went to Cui Shi to explain the matter.

Cui's was about to take Ji Zhun to the outer courtyard to ask Gong Liuzi, but was stopped by Ji Zhun.

waited until the lights were turned off in each courtyard, and Ji Zhuncai and Cui met at the Hanging Flower Gate. When the mother-in-law who guarded the second gate saw this uncle and niece, she went to the outer courtyard in the middle of the night, and although she was suspicious in her heart, she still opened the door neatly.

Cui Shi and Ji Zhun only brought two henchmen, and as soon as they arrived at the outer courtyard, Ji Zhun asked Zhaoyue to quietly invite the nursing home.

Cui Shi stopped Ji Zhun, "Sister Heng, he's just a gardener, so he won't be in such a fight, right?" ”

Ji Zhun smiled and didn't explain much, "Uncle, just to be on the safe side." ”

Cui didn't ask more, just as she was a teenager and liked to do a lot of things.

The guards of the Guogong Mansion are all veterans who have retired from the barracks, and they know whether to arrest people or recruit them in the middle of the night, so they understand the reason.

A few people tiptoed and sneaked into the back room where Gong Liuzi was. Ji Zhun and Cui Shiyin were secretly observing, and after a while, they saw several nursing homes carrying a quilt rolled out, and there was no sound during the whole process.

Gong Liuzi was carried directly into an abandoned firewood house, which was located in a remote courtyard of the British Mansion, and no one usually came.

After everything was done, it was already the second watch, and Ji Zhun had no intention of interrogating him overnight, so he only left a few nursing homes.

"Give a good beating first, don't beat it to death, and ask questions tomorrow." After Ji Zhun explained a few words, he and Cui went back to the inner courtyard.

Ji Zhun was lying on the stepping bed, looking a little tired, with a thousand thoughts in his mind, thinking of Xi Nianyao and her hypocrisy, and then thinking of Shen Chenghuai's death, in these marquee-like pictures, she gradually fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was just dark, Ji Zhun got up and began to put on his robe, and Qiyun, who was guarding outside the door, heard movement in the house, and knew that it was the young lady who woke up, so he hurriedly got up and came in to help Ji Zhun pick up.

"Why doesn't Miss sleep more? Are you still worried about that? ”

"I can't sleep, I'm going to take a look" Ji Zhun stretched out his hand and straightened the ties of his robe, "What time is it?" Is there anyone walking around outside? ”

"It's already early, there should be a mother-in-law outside the courtyard to sprinkle and sweep, and the big and small kitchens have already begun to be busy, so it's time to try that person now."

Ji Zhun raised his eyes to look at the little round face of Qiyun, and said with a smile: "That's just right." ”

"Summoned the moon to sleep, right?"

Qiyun nodded, "She originally wanted to stay on duty for the night, so I sent her back to rest." ”

"That's good, let her have a good rest, she has been following me recently, and she hasn't rested much." The master and servant talked quietly.

Ji Zhun is a two-girl girl, urging the clouds thoroughly, and calling the moon is bold, she is very pleased.

The master and servant both cleaned up, and did not alarm others, and went directly to the firewood room in the outer courtyard.

Gong Liuzi was woken up by someone splashing cold water, he was inexplicably caught in the firewood room last night, and he was gagged with rags, beaten for most of the night, and now he has no good meat on his body. The person who beat him didn't say a word to him, which made him feel furious.

The cold water was dripping down his forehead, and the freshly scabbed wound on his body was soaked like this, and he gasped immediately in pain, but only inhaled the smell of a rancid rag.

"Squeak~squeak!" Gong Liuzi heard the sound of the door closing, and he looked up.

Opposite him was a circle chair, on which sat a woman, who was against the light and could not see clearly, but he only saw that the woman was wearing a royal blue makeup and collared jacket.

The morning light is always white, wrapped in the unique smell of the morning, like smoke and fog, light but irresistible through the simple window lattice. Shining on the royal blue makeup collared long jacket, the surroundings became more and more cold.

Gong Liuzi couldn't help but shudder, he also saw clearly by a little light at this time, this woman was the eldest lady who asked him to see the flower tree the day before yesterday!

Gong Liuzi was relieved when he saw that it was her. At first, he thought that the matter of his messenger had been exposed, but now it was the eldest lady who came to interrogate him, he had already heard of Ji Zhun's tyrannical character, and he was arrested and beaten, probably for the sake of the flower tree.

Thinking of this, he sat up with a rolling belt, took two steps forward on his knees, and began to kowtow to Ji Zhun, but because his hands were tied behind his back, the whole person staggered.

Ji Zhun put his hands in his sleeves, with a usual light smile on his face, and said softly: "I advise you to save some effort, do this kind of thing of betraying the Lord and seeking glory, you think that a few kowtows can solve it." ”
