Chapter 152: Mid-Levels Restaurant
Li Yuanwai wiped his tears and spoke sharply
"The woman is miserable, and at this time, the housekeeper must be in front of the guests." After speaking, he added, "These days, if there is no housekeeper, I am afraid that the house would have been in chaos." ”
Huaiyu and Zhao Yan exchanged a tacit look.
Housekeeper, even if he has an old relationship with the master, but if he doesn't have a little means, he won't be in the position of housekeeper for a long time.
"The house is a big business, and everything is really complicated, but just now I came from outside, and I saw that the house was in order, and there was no clutter." Huaiyu pondered, "In this way, all this is the credit of this butler. It's just that I don't know who the housekeeper's surname is, and what is the old relationship between Li Yuanwai and the housekeeper? ”
What kind of old relationship made Li Yuanwai so relieved to hand over all the affairs of the house to an outsider?
Hearing Huaiyu's question, Li Yuanwai's cloudy eyes showed some imperceptible embarrassment, although he quickly raised his eyebrows to cover the past, but he was still discovered by Huaiyu.
Huaiyu didn't urge, but only sat down with Zhao Yan calmly and sipping tea.
Seeing the two of them waiting for him so silently, Li Yuanwai coughed a few times and said briefly: "The housekeeper's surname is Lin, and he is a playmate who grew up with me. ”
Li Yuanwai was so reluctant, and Huaiyu was inconvenient to ask more, so he only let Yang Huance be patient and wait for the arrival of this housekeeper.
After a while, the maid brought the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, and a middle-aged man who looked very young walked in.
Huaiyu originally thought that the person who could run such a big Li Mansion must be a spirited old man with powerful methods, but when he saw this Li Steward at first glance, Huaiyu overturned his original opinion.
The butler, dressed in a cyan robe, with a slender and slightly thin figure, with a gentle smile on his white face, walked up to Zhao Yan lightly and elegantly and saluted.
"Minlin to the ru, meet the son."
Zhao Yan also took a closer look at the person in front of him, and the housekeeper Li Yuanwai was his playmate from bottom to adulthood, but at this moment, it seemed that the two had different temperaments.
Li Yuanwai is a little rich, with some cheesy of a rich family, but this Steward Lin is gentle and elegant, and he doesn't have the greasy blessing of being in charge of a mansion and holding a lot of power
Zhao Yan raised his right hand slightly, and pointed at Yang Huance, who was looking at Steward Lin: "I don't know if Steward Lin can recognize this brother in front of him?" ”
Steward Lin looked at Yang Duwei, only glanced at it, and said, "Isn't this Yang Duwei, who doesn't know anyone in Anqing?" Shizi is making fun of the people. ”
"That being the case, does Steward Lin still remember that on the third day of the third month of March, Zeng Dao Mansion proposed to Yang Duwei?"
"Yes." Steward Lin said coldly, "At that time, Yang Duwei kindly entertained the people, if it weren't for what happened later, the people would probably still be remembered to this day." ”
Yang Duwei stepped forward angrily, and clamped Steward Lin's thin shoulders with both hands: "You open your dog eyes and take a good look at me, how have I ever received you?" ”
"But after more than a month, Yang Duwei's temperament has become irritable. As the saying goes, 'buying and selling does not become benevolent and righteous', Yang Duwei's face became too fast. ”
Funny, right? Yang Duwei angrily blew up and said: "Master, I have always had this temper, can it be that you can't swallow your anger and let you wronged me?" On the third day of the third month of the third month, I went out of the city early in the morning, and the brothers in the government can testify, how can I have the spare time to entertain you? ”
"Then what I saw that day was a ghost?"
Steward Lin was also angry, turned around and said to Li Yuanwai: "Master, I swear with my life, I went to the mansion that day, and I did have a good conversation with Yang Duwei, but I really didn't expect him to release such words later, which made the third sister sad, and only then did he bring out the things that followed." ”
"What's next?" Huaiyu couldn't help but say loudly, "What happened next?" Please also ask Li Yuanwai not to hide anything. ”
Li Yuanwai already had seven or eight points at this time, believing that it was not Yang Duwei who killed his daughter, so he no longer had a gun and a stick.
"Female Zilie, after listening to the words from the government, where can I stand it? The second word is inconvenient to go to the mansion, to find Yang Duwei for justice, it happened that I met Yang Duwei who was drinking in the Mid-Levels Restaurant halfway, the two don't know what was in it, the woman has been depressed since she came back, and I Yang Duwei wants to kill her. ”
Li Yuanwai went to the sad place, took the handkerchief handed by Steward Lin to wipe his tears, and continued: "I was also careless, thinking that the woman was just angry and talking to me. I never thought that the woman was really ......"
Mid-levels Restaurant?
This restaurant is just outside the mansion, and Li Sanjie wants to go to the mansion to find Yang Duwei, and she must indeed pass through.
However, in those days, Yang Huance was indeed as he said, leaving early and returning late every day, and the time in the government was only a handful.
It is impossible for Li Nianqi to meet him in the Mid-Levels Restaurant, and it is even more impossible for Steward Lin to have a gathering with him in the mansion.
Huaiyu frowned and pondered, why is this murder case more and more weird?
Zhao Yan couldn't see Huaiyu's face look embarrassed, so he stood up, walked up to Steward Lin, and asked:
"Steward Lin, did you enter the mansion that day?"
"Indeed."
"Who's the witness?"
Steward Lin looked at Yang Duwei, and when he saw that the other party didn't know him, his heart sank, and he said slowly:
"When the people didn't bring a single person, they went to the government office alone, and when I entered through the west corner gate of the government office, a young guard brought me to Yang Duwei, and the guard withdrew after serving tea. If anyone proves it, except for Yang Duwei, it is the guard. ”
He bowed deeply to Zhao Yan.
"I also hope that the son of the world will be clear, the people seen by the people of the day are indeed the same as Yang Duwei."
Zhao Yan didn't answer, only patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.
However, Huaiyu listened to Steward Lin's words, and suddenly felt strange in his heart.
It stands to reason that the people who serve tea and water in the government should not be the work of the guards, and there are girls specially purchased by Xunyanlou, but because Gu Jiajun first arrived in Anqing, the things outside and inside have not been taken care of, and there are some places that have not been taken care of.
Besides, Gu Jiajun has always been very arrogant, serving tea and sending water and other things, he has always been able to do it himself, so he did it himself.
It's just that since it was a door-to-door proposal, Steward Lin didn't leave the good gate, but deliberately detoured to the West Corner Gate, which seemed a little sneaky.
However, this kind of thing is related to the reputation of other people's daughters' families, and if you don't go through the main gate, you have to pass.
Huaiyu thought of this, and asked: "As far as I know, although the west corner gate of the mansion is not as guarded by guards as the gate, there has always been no shortage of door fights, and Steward Lin has never met anyone else?" ”
Hearing this, Steward Lin pondered for a moment before he spoke: "That day is also strange, as soon as the people arrived outside the West Corner Gate, they saw a guard coming out of it, as if they knew that I would come, and brought me into Fuzheng."
