After squatting the new daughter-in-law with clothes and a fork pole, Cheng Qi hurriedly dragged Cheng Yan away from the place of right and wrong, and almost ran out of the alley.

It's just that before I waited for the gate of the Guogong Mansion, I saw that the water was surrounded by the people, and there seemed to be people from the government in the crowded crowd.

Cheng Qi looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Yan was cautious and pulled her back, so that Cheng Qi would not be embraced by the crowd, and suddenly there was a shout of Xin Yi behind him, he turned around, and the man stumbled in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Qi asked first.

Xin Yi was out of breath, his lips turned white: "Miss Qi, Young Master Zongyu, something is wrong." Holding his knees and coughing repeatedly, "It was Shen Zhutou from the government who brought someone here, saying that our Guogong Mansion was harboring thieves and came to arrest them on the order of Xu Fujun, and it was Aunt Meng who asked the slaves to come to find you." ”

Cheng Qi frowned, reached out to help him pat his back: "Slow down, be careful." ”

Xin Yi was so frightened that he refused again and again: "The slave doesn't dare to let the girl serve, you two should go in with the slave through the back door first." ”

Cheng Qi and Cheng Yan followed in, and hurried to the gate of the mansion with fast steps, Aunt Meng was relieved to see them coming, and at the same time glared at Cheng Qi's so-called 'fancy dress'.

It's just that the situation is urgent at the moment, and Aunt Meng pulled Cheng Qi and asked: "There are so many people outside the gate of this mansion, you and Zong Yu didn't bump into each other." ”

Cheng Qi shook his head and asked the reason, but Cheng Dai squeezed over and said, "It's Shen Zhutou, he said that one of the thieves was in our house a few days ago. ”

Cheng Qi looked around: "What about the second uncle and the third uncle?" ”

"My grandmother was seriously ill and didn't dare to disturb." Cheng Dai said, "The second uncle and the third uncle are on the other side of the fish shop. ”

Aunt Meng couldn't do it in a hurry: "The old lady must not be disturbed, but there are Shen Zhutou's people who are outside to stop it, and the second and third masters can't come back, you say, ......" stomped on her shoes, "You said how could there be thieves hidden in our house!" ”

When Cheng Qi heard this, he already knew who Shen Zhutou was looking for.

Who else could it be.

There was a mess around, Cheng Qi looked back, and saw Cheng Lan with an expressionless face not far away, Shen Lu was not far away from him in the past, but he couldn't find a trace at this time.

She gritted her teeth, and knew that the eldest brother had caused trouble and harbored thieves, and this crime was not big or small, and it would ruin the reputation of the Guogong Mansion.

"Cheng Qi."

Cheng Yan said on the side: "Qiubai's health is not good, now the family counts me as the elder, the second and third aunts are women and can't come forward, Shen Zhutou should leave me to deal with it." ”

Cheng Qi tugged on his sleeve uneasily: "Cheng Yan, that Shen Zhutou has never been very good friends with our Guogong Mansion because of the death of his wife, and this time he also came to our long house by name, didn't you see that he specially avoided the second and third uncles." ”

"What can I do then, and now I can only bite the bullet."

Cheng Yan pushed her hand away: "I can't let him lead people to mess around like this in front of the mansion, so what has become of our Guogong Mansion." "I'll take a look." ”

Cheng Qi took a step forward: "I'll accompany you." ”

"I'm the daughter of the long house." She emphasized.

Cheng Yan looked at her peach blossom eyes, which were full of seriousness.

He nodded, and with Cheng Qi pushed aside the servants who were guarding in the threshold, and said, "I am Cheng Yan." ”

Shen Zhutou stood outside the mansion with more than a dozen catchers, he pressed the sword on his waist, and wore a maroon official uniform very majestic: "In your country's mansion, there is finally someone who dares to speak." ”

"Young Master Zongyu." He smiled and said, "The famous Young Master Zongyu. ”

Cheng Yan didn't react: "Shen Zhutou came today, I already know, but my Cheng family and Ge Yuanjun have always been friends, how could they harbor the thief who stole the Qingyu pig carving of Zhijun, presumably the head catcher made a mistake, please take all the officials back, don't miss the official business." ”

Seeing Cheng Yan so humble and not arrogant, Shen Zhutou was a little surprised, and secretly appreciated it, a successor of a foreign family dared to come out to confront him, but he had some guts.

"Young Master Zongyu."

Shen Zhutou refused to give up: "I didn't come to the door today, but I received a report from the people, saying that in your Guogong Mansion, I saw the thief on the sea fishing paperwork. ”

He took two steps forward as a temptation, but Cheng Yan's body did not move, but the servants in the mansion next to him stepped forward with their eyes and did not allow him to step into the mansion for half a step.

"Young Master Zongyu, don't be careful." He said, "XX is not aimed at your Cheng family, but things have come to this point, let's let XX take someone to search for it, so as to give your Cheng family an explanation, if the thief is not inside, it is better to go back and return to Xu Fujun." ”

"Xu Fujun?"

Cheng Qi, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "With all due respect, the head catcher came today, not on the orders of Xu Fujun." ”

Sure enough, Shen Zhutou smiled back, and Cheng Qi deduced that his thoughts were correct based on this person's micro-expression, and Shen Zhutou did bring someone privately.

First, Xu Fujun and the Cheng family are good friends, even if they take away the thieves in the mansion, they will definitely order Shen Zhutou to come to the door privately, and they will not make such a big fanfare and deliberately smear the lintel of the Cheng family.

Second, if it was on the order of Xu Fujun, with Shen Zhutou's temperament, he would definitely be full of confidence to break in and take people directly, why bother to stalemate in front of the mansion for so long, and specially chose the second uncle and the third uncle to come when he was not there, obviously because he was empty-hearted.

Third, this third involves an old story.

Seven years ago, their Cheng family's Hundred Herbs Workshop was not Zhou Laolangzhong's palm, but another doctor surnamed He, who was so happy that he insisted on going his own way, and gave the seriously ill wife of Shen Zhutou a new drug that had not yet been tested, causing his wife to die of allergic reactions, and thus formed a feud between the two families.

For so many years, Shen Zhutou couldn't shake the huge foundation of the Cheng family, so he made trouble everywhere, and did not miss any opportunity to take revenge on the Cheng family.

But there is indeed a Shen Lu in the house.

Cheng Qi is a little uncertain, if he lets Shen Zhutou go in to investigate, it will be troublesome to find out Shen Lu, but if he is not called in, he will be said to be weak and hiding important thieves.

Cheng Qi was in a dilemma.

"Grandma, Zongyu."

When the two parties couldn't balance each other, Cheng Lan pushed aside all the servants and walked out, Aunt Meng was worried and hurriedly dragged him back, but the man insisted on coming over.

In such a cold autumn weather, Cheng Lan was thinly dressed, her delicate cheeks were bloodless, and she was so troubled by today's events that she was so upset that she covered her sleeves and coughed several times.

"Big brother." Cheng Dai helped him, "You slow down." ”

Cheng Lan pushed it away and leaned over at the playful Shen Zhutou: "Head catcher, grandmother is sick in bed, don't disturb the courtyard, and let the head catcher search for the rest." ”

Aunt Meng couldn't show her face, so she just showed her head: "Young Master Qiubai!" What nonsense are you talking about! How can you call that person surnamed Shen in! ”

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

Cheng Lan stood up straight, raised his voice with difficulty, and as the eldest son of the eldest son, he gave an order: "Let them come in and search!" ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
