After Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang finished speaking, they turned around and were about to leave, when suddenly, Di Renjie stopped!

Li Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Di Renjie thought about it and said: "Yuan Fang, you said that this new lady Begonia is obviously no longer in this Mingyue Tower, why is there still a bright light in this room?" ”

Li Yuanfang looked back at the Mingyue Building in the other garden, nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, my lord, this new lady is missing, the building has become a vacant room, and the lights are still lit, could it be that the owner of the Tang Village is here?" ”

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's ask the owner of Tang Zhuang tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, Di Renjie continued to walk forward, Li Yuanfang followed, and the two came to the backyard of the villa, the backyard is the room of the villa and the rooms of the servants, at this time most of the servants have rested, only a few handymen in the room are still working!

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang saw a familiar figure, pointed over and said, "My lord, look, isn't that Zhou An?" ”

Di Renjie looked in the direction of Li Yuanfang's finger, and sure enough, he saw Zhou An chopping firewood!

Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang, raised his hand, and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”

Li Yuanfang nodded, followed Di Renjie to Zhou An's back, Zhou An didn't notice that someone was coming, and he was doing his own work, only to see him holding a long-handled axe, and there was a piece of wood more than a foot long and calf-thick on the elm pier in front of him, Zhou An raised the axe in his hand and chopped it down hard, the wood split in half in response, Zhou An picked up half of it, and stood on the elm pier, and it was an axe down, and the action was skillful, like flowing water!

When Zhou An was about to pick up the other half of the wood, he suddenly found that there were two people standing behind him, Zhou An was startled, turned around with an axe, and suddenly saw that it was Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, and hurriedly threw down the axe in his hand, immediately knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "The little one doesn't know that it is the big man, I think it is a bad man, so I refuse with an axe, please forgive the big man!" ”

Di Renjie stepped forward to help Zhou An and said, "Zhou An, don't worry, don't worry, we're just idle, walk around, you don't have to be nervous!" ”

Zhou An slowly stood up and stood in place with his head bowed in fear!

Di Renjie asked, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" ”

Zhou An bowed and said: "Back to the eldest master, the little ones are used to it, they rest at the end of the day every day, and they get up when they get out, and they have developed a habit for so many years, and they can't sleep if they go to bed too early, so they will do more."

Live, anyway, sooner or later, it's all the villain's work! ”

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Well, this Tang Zhuang owner hired you, but you picked up a big bargain!" Hahaha! ”

Zhou An laughed a little shyly, rubbed his hands, and seemed to be still a little nervous!

Di Renjie didn't say anything more, walked straight to the back door of the villa, opened the door and looked at it, turned to Zhou An and asked, "Zhou An, according to what you said, did you see Tang Gongzi and Mrs. Xin going out through this gate that day?" ”

Zhou An nodded and said, "Master Hui, this is the door!" ”

Di Renjie stepped out of the back door, because there was no lantern at the back door, so there was only a little glimmer of light cast from the courtyard, and it was pitch black in the distance!

Di Renjie pointed to the distance and asked, "Zhou An, where does this road in front of the door lead?" ”

Zhou An bowed down and said: "If you go back to the eldest master, this road will enter the mountain to the north, and you can go around to the main gate of the villa to the south!" ”

"Oh, that's right!" Di Renjie nodded and continued to ask, "Where did the carriage you saw Tang Gongzi and the new lady on that day going?" ”

Zhou An replied: "It's to the north, in the direction of the mountain!" ”

Di Renjie was slightly stunned, couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "The direction of entering the mountain? What did they do in the mountains? ”

Because Di Renjie's voice was very soft, Zhou An didn't hear it clearly, and bowed down and asked, "Master, what did you just say?" ”

Di Renjie smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's nothing, okay, you go get busy!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou An answered, walked to the pile of firewood, picked up the axe, and continued to chop firewood!

Di Renjie turned around and returned to the courtyard, and walked towards the room, there were also handymen working in the room, seeing Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang walking in, they all knew Di Renjie's prominent identity, and hurriedly put down the work in their hands and bowed to Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang!

Di Renjie smiled and said: "You don't have to be formal, you are busy, I am just passing through here, I am a little thirsty, and I want to ask for a bowl of water to drink!" ”

A handyman bowed down a little embarrassed and said: "My lord, you are our lord's honored guest, we only have this big bowl for dinner in this room, and there is no good tea, this ......"

Di Renjie smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just get a bowl with me to hold some water!" ”

"Hey!" The handyman answered, hurriedly took a clean big bowl, poured a bowl of water, and respectfully served it to Di Renjie!

Di Renjie took the bowl,

took a sip and said approvingly: "Well, this water is still a little sweet!" ”

Seeing that Di Renjie was so approachable, several handymen gradually relaxed, not as nervous as they were just now!

The handyman poured another bowl of water for Li Yuanfang, Li Yuanfang smiled and thanked him and took it, the two drank the water, turned around and walked out of the room, and returned along the way they came!

The two did not go back to the room, but came to the east wing courtyard of the villa, only to stop, Di Renjie walked to the courtyard gate of the east wing, saw that the courtyard door was closed, tried to push it, and the courtyard door opened suddenly!

Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang, Li Yuanfang was also slightly stunned, Di Renjie said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look!" ”

Enter the East Chamber, it is also a unique courtyard, although it is winter, the grass and trees are withered, but it can still be seen that if the spring is infinite, the courtyard is rich in grass and trees, there is a unique style, between the grass and trees, rockeries and strange stones stand in a forest, echoing with the buildings in this courtyard, complementing each other!

Unlike Mingyue Tower, Tang Gongzi's study has no light except for two lanterns at the door! Di Renjie stepped forward and pushed open the door on the first floor of the study, the room was dark, Li Yuanfang hurriedly took out the fire fold from his arms, and after blowing it, he came to the table by the faint light, lit the oil lamp on the table, and the room became much brighter!

Looking around the whole room, the furnishings in the room are simple, a round table, a few round stools, against the window is a bunk of couches, there is a small square table on the couch, there is a chessboard on the square table, the chess pieces are black and white, like an endgame, not finished, the other side of the room is a row of bookcases, there are all kinds of books of different old and new, and some bamboo slips that look old, should be read more frequently, the edge of the bamboo slips has been a little shiny!

Leaning against the north wall is the staircase upstairs, Di Renjie raised his hand and said, "Let's go, Yuan Fang, let's go up and have a look!" ”

Li Yuanfang nodded, reached out and took down a candle in the corner, lit it, walked in front with the candle, and went up the stairs!

Coming to the second floor, compared to the first floor, the second floor is much more messy, a wide bookcase, the four treasures of the study room are complete, but on the bookcase, the ground is scattered with all kinds of paper full of words, there are a lot of wine jars in a corner of the second floor, and on the table next to the wine jar, there are wine jugs and wine glasses!

Di Renjie picked up a piece of paper on the ground, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yuan Fang, it seems that these are Tang Gongzi's drunken works?" Although the writing is a little immature, it can be seen that Tang Gongzi is still full of wealth and full of poetry and books! ”
