Chapter 193: The overall situation is important
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Xie Zhan's eyes, "Housekeeper...... Bought by the daughter of Taichang Siqing. ”
He didn't dare to look at Mingxiu's expression for a while, and took advantage of the gap between drinking tea to look at the past seemingly casually.
I was worried that Mingxiu would be angry because of this, but she didn't react, and Xie Zhan was uncomfortable.
Mingxiu thought for a while before remembering who he was talking about, "Taichang Siqing...... Is that Miss Shu? The one who has an old grudge against Mi Niang? ”
There are more aristocratic ladies in the capital who are not used to Zhen Miniang, but Mingxiu is only impressed by Shu Wenqi.
Not only because she and Zhen Miniang quarreled in front of Mingxiu, but also because when she was in the palace, Shu Wenqi was embarrassed by her openly and secretly.
In fact, Mingxiu didn't see Shu Wenqi's embarrassment too much on the spot, and only remembered this stubble after going back.
Sure enough, as long as she is not embarrassed, it is someone else who is embarrassed.
Xie Zhan nodded, looking at her expectantly.
Got it now, right?
Mingxiu was still full of doubts, "I remember...... Taichang Siqing is your subordinate, right? His daughter plots against you? ”
What is this operation?
Could it be that Taichang Siqing is selling dog meat with a sheep's head here in Xie Zhan?
Really unenlightened?
Xie Zhan carefully observed Mingxiu for a while, and when he saw that she was really confused, he couldn't help but cry and laugh a little in his heart.
"Miss Shu has a covetous heart for this king, does Taichang Siqing know about this...... The king doesn't know very well. ”
Although he has eyeliner in various mansions, he still can't get news of this kind of secret matter without specifically inquiring about it.
Taichang Siqing's mouth is very tight, this used to be where Xie Zhan praised him, and now......
Xie Zhan picked out and said, Mingxiu only understood a little.
She skimmed over with a little disgust, "It turned out that you were a troublesome thing by attracting bees and butterflies." ”
After thinking about it, Mingxiu felt that something was wrong.
Shu Wenqi has no reason to buy the housekeeper to kill Imperial Doctor Li, right? What's in it for her?
What's more, it was the housekeeper who had a grudge against Imperial Doctor Li instead of Shu Wenqi, which didn't make sense.
couldn't figure it out, so Mingxiu informed Xie Zhan of the doubts in his heart.
"Shu Wenqi didn't buy the housekeeper because of this." What kind of magical understanding is this, Xie Zhan shook his head, "Imperial Doctor Li was killed, and Shu Wenqi was also behind him, but this is just a means for her to buy off the housekeeper." ”
In order to threaten the housekeeper to have to use it for her.
As for what the butler is going to do......
With the internal response of the housekeeper, wouldn't it be much easier for Shu Wenqi to get close to Xie Zhan in the future?
Listening to his detailed explanation, Mingxiu finally understood.
She looked at Xie Zhan narrowly, "The dignified regent palace, you can actually let a daughter of Taichang Siqing intervene in it, should I say that you are too confident, or did you secretly open the back door for her?" ”
If Xie Zhan didn't notice it at all, Mingxiu didn't believe it.
How many guards are there around him, but he didn't pay special attention to the housekeeper, Shu Wenqi was close to the housekeeper, and it was more or less impossible not to notice it at all.
But Xie Zhan had never mentioned it before.
Why?
Mingxiu suspected that this person deliberately turned a blind eye.
How many Shu Wenqi is also a noble girl, and she is also beautiful, at least much stronger than Mingxiu.
Even if he didn't like it, being loved by such a woman, Xie Zhan was somewhat complacent in his heart.
looked at him with a smile, Mingxiu's eyes seemed to see through the appearance of what he was thinking.
made Xie Zhan a little uncomfortable.
He coughed lightly and said, "Recently, Master Shu has often come and gone to my house to discuss matters, and his daughter will come to pick up her father from time to time, so ......"
Because there were too many times, the guards in the house were a little lax about Shu Wenqi, and they definitely had nothing to do with Xie Zhan's attitude.
"Lord Shu often comes?" Mingxiu raised her eyebrows, and the meaning of narrowness in her eyes was even worse.
Rubbing his eyebrows a little helplessly, Xie Zhan thought, it would be impossible not to make it clear to her this time.
It's easy to restore the relationship with Mingxiu, if she feels uncomfortable because of this incident, it's really not worth it.
"There have been many cases of missing women and children in the capital recently, and you have also heard that such cases are within the scope of Taichang Siqing's duties, so he often comes to my house to report the progress of the case."
"Is Taichang Siqing's scope of responsibility?"
Mingxiu frowned and was very puzzled, in her impression, Taichang Siqing seemed to be the clerk who managed the sacrifice, right? Have such real power?
She was puzzled, and Xie Zhan was even more puzzled, "Taichang Siqing is in charge of the prison, is there anything wrong?" "Throughout the ages, the desert has been like this.
How do you look at Mingxiu's appearance, it seems very unbelievable?
After looking at Xie Zhan for a while, and realizing that he was not joking, Mingxiu suddenly realized that the place she was in now was not a certain dynasty in history in her impression, and it was logical that the duties of officials were different.
She doesn't know much about the appointment and dismissal of official positions in the desert, and she is too often Siqing...... In the desert, it should be the same as the Dali Siqing in her impression, right?
Xie Zhan was still waiting for her to answer, and Mingxiu suddenly reacted, "It's okay, even so, Shu Wenqi has a lot of communication with the housekeeper in your house, so you really don't know anything?" ”
didn't get a positive answer from her, and Xie Zhan was not in a hurry.
looked at her with a smile, one day, she would have no reservations about him.
"Miss Shu came to the door, and it was natural for the housekeeper to receive her, who would think about it?"
Not everyone is qualified to let Xie Zhan go to receive him personally, and when he is unwilling to come forward, it is normal to let the housekeeper act as an agent.
Shu Wenqi is not qualified to let him come forward in person, and no one will think much about communicating with the housekeeper.
Even Xie Zhan is the same.
Who knew that the normal intersection could also allow Shu Wenqi to buy off the housekeeper.
I have to say that this woman really has a bit of skill, not as Mingxiu thought, in vain.
Mingxiu raised her eyebrows noncommittally, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not.
"And what are you going to do with it now?"
"We have to determine whether Taichang Siqing is involved in this matter first."
If Lord Shu intervened, Xie Zhan would definitely not tolerate him being reused under his own hands, but if it had nothing to do with him, although Xie Zhan was angry at Shu Wenqi's actions, he would not be angry with Lord Shu because of this.
He has always been clear about things, and there may have been things of sitting together, but a Shu Wenqi would not make Xie Zhan lose his mind.
Mingxiu nodded, this is Xie Zhan's own business, she has no need to take care of it, "What about the housekeeper?" ”
She witnessed the murder of Imperial Physician Li and always wanted to know the fate of the murderer.
Seeing Mingxiu's dislike for the housekeeper, Xie Zhan was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Maybe you have to wait until things are clear before you move him." ”
If you act rashly, you may be startled.
Shu Wenqi doesn't have much ability, even if she moves the housekeeper, she may not have the ability to sweep the tail.
But Master Shu is different, he has been in officialdom for many years, he is an old fox, if he intervenes and makes him aware of it, it is inevitable that he will not break his tail to survive, and it will have a great impact on Xie Zhan's thorough investigation.
At this time, the best solution is to stand still on the surface.
But when he said it to Mingxiu, Xie Zhan was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart.
Carefully scrutinizing her face, fearing that she would be angry because of it.
But Myeong-so's reaction was unexpectedly flat.
"Aren't you worried that the people under your command are chilled by this?"
The murderer has been found, but Xie Zhan still didn't move him, just because of the involvement behind him.
If you say it's good, it's for the sake of the overall situation, but it's not good, Xie Zhan just has a bit of selfishness.
Put yourself in her shoes, if her boss behaves like this, Mingxiu doesn't say that she has resentment in her heart, but it is certain that she will not feel good.
And Xie Zhan doesn't seem to have such worries.
"I am their master, and although it is my duty to avenge them, it is also a time to score."
When did the life and death of the slave depend on what the master had to do?
Don't say that there are no such rules here in the desert and Xie Zhan, and there have been no such rules for thousands of years.
Xie Zhan's willingness to avenge Imperial Physician Li is already a great favor, no matter what time it is, Imperial Physician Li's family can only be grateful to Dade.
Even if he is unwilling to avenge Imperial Physician Li, his family can only bear it.
Xie Zhan can already be regarded as a good master if he can give the conditions for appeasement.
How many of the master's family members were killed, and they didn't even say a word, and the family still had to hear the news of the death of their relatives from the mouths of others.
No one felt anything was wrong.
On the contrary, it is Mingxiu's mind that will make people wonder.
What makes her feel that the subordinate is the same as the master?
Xie Zhan looked at Mingxiu with doubts, as if asking, how can you have such a mind?
At this time, Mingxiu could only keep silent.
The housekeeper came in again at this time, "Master, Miss Shu is here." ”
Seeing his familiar appearance, if it weren't for Mingxiu already knowing that the housekeeper was bought by Shu Wenqi, he would not have thought that Shu Wenqi often went in and out of Xie Zhan's study, and the relationship between the two was more than just acquaintance.
is already mentally prepared, and Mingxiu is still a little uncomfortable at this time.
"Let her wait in the main hall."
The housekeeper was stunned, seemed very surprised, and glanced at Mingxiu pointedly, "Master, Miss Shu is here to deliver the official document." ”
The implication is that the official document in Shu Wenqi's hand should be disposed of in the study, Mingxiu can enter the study, Shu Wenqi is serious about doing things, and naturally should come.
When he didn't have any doubts about the housekeeper, Xie Zhan naturally didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his remarks, and he wouldn't even look at him more, just disagree and refuse.
But now that he began to pay attention to this aspect, he suddenly realized that the difference between the butlers had been revealed at a very early stage.
"Master Shu is so impotent, the official document was actually sent by the female streamers, but he didn't put this king in his eyes?"
Looking at the housekeeper without a look, Xie Zhan knew that these words would eventually fall into the ears of Master Shu.
It stands to reason that Xie Zhan shouldn't be so careful about Lord Shu's affairs, but Lord Shu's existence is not just as simple as a Taichang Siqing.
The affairs of the DPRK and China often affect the whole body, and he cannot be left careless.
The housekeeper hurriedly knelt down, but he didn't speak for Shu Wenqi.
But if you look closely, you can see that there are fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Mingxiu couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she did it so obviously, but Xie Zhan still didn't check anything, how much confidence did she have in the people around her?
But now is not the time to laugh at Xie Zhan, Shu Wenqi is still waiting outside.
"Lord Wang, Miss Shu is here, and she is here with an official document, if you want to blame Lord Shu, it will be later, now let's go and meet Miss Shu first."
Leaving people out of the house, I don't know how many things will be caused.
Even though those people in the capital didn't dare to say anything about Xie Zhan's approach on the surface, who knew how ugly they were secretly speaking?
Xie Zhan's face was gloomy for a moment, and he didn't give Mingxiu no face in the end, "Let's go." ”
The butler hurriedly got up from the ground and gave Mingxiu a grateful look.
Until now, he still hadn't noticed it, and Xie Zhan had begun to suspect him.
After all, he is the best person who has survived many years of open and secret fighting, if Xie Zhan wants to guard against someone, he is afraid that the other party will not find out until he dies.
