"I know that you only followed me sixteen years ago, and there are many things that are difficult to investigate, but the only person I can trust in the house is you, Brother Lai, you try to help me check, and if you have any news, you have to report it to me immediately." Fu Chenghai patted Lai Steward's shoulder and said pleadingly.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do it. Steward Lai said solemnly.

"Well, the key to the treasury is in your place, if you need anything, you can get it yourself, you can use it first and report to me. "The storeroom will be open to him for emergency use. "Go and take Mama Lai back, and tomorrow I want her to help me light up the Ming family's property." ”

"Thank you, sir. Steward Lai bowed to Fu Chenghai gratefully, and then left, and when he got outside, he didn't forget to tell the little servant to go to the kitchen and bring some food to the study.

When he was left alone in the study, Fu Chenghai didn't want to see the Chu family, for fear that he couldn't help but beat her to death, so let's get together for one night in the study, and tomorrow I will deal with the Chu family's affairs.

Besides, Chu's complexion was not good when he got up the next day, and he had dark circles under his eyes, so let the maid puff on some powder to cover it.

At this time, the maid who went out to inquire about the news came in.

"How is it, when did the master leave the courtyard, and where did he go?" Chu Shi glanced at the big maid and asked.

"Mrs. Hui, the master left the courtyard when he was almost there, and then went to the courtyard of the eldest lady, and came out to the study after half an hour. Spend the night in the study. ”

"What about the other courtyard, is there any movement?" Chu couldn't figure out what Fu Chenghai knew, so he picked the hairpin's hand.

"About three o'clock in the morning, Steward Lai went to the other courtyard to pick up Mama Lai. The big girl stood up with her hands down and replied.

Chu Shi frowned, is it okay to take Mama Lai out? Then why didn't the old man go back to the yard to rest, and the matter of the property, he still wanted to beg the old man to leave no time to add more dowry.

Since Mama Lai is fine, then this matter should have nothing to do with her, and when the old man comes back from the yamen in the afternoon, he wants to talk about the flawless marriage, Chu thought in his heart.

"By the way, Ling Xiang, I didn't see her in the morning. Chu asked, taking a fancy to the golden hairpin that had always been ruby, and motioned to the maid who combed her hair to wear this for a while.

"I was approached by the steward. The maid next to me returned.

Chu didn't think much about it, thinking that he had brought Ling Xiang over to take care of Mama Lai, after all, he stayed in another courtyard for two nights, and it was easy to get sick from the cold.

Wuge went around the house after breakfast, and since she got the news from the bird, she found that animals play a big role, so she decided to go around the house to see if she could meet any more small animals who knew some events and help her solve the case.

She sent the people she followed away, not to mention in this family, even in the entire Yan Kingdom, no one could do anything to her, and she still had a secret weapon.

Wuge went from being full of joy to being depressed, she found that she couldn't communicate with these animals, she didn't even let go of ants, and it seemed that communicating with the was just an accident.

In addition, it is winter, and many animals have spent the winter, and there are no animals in the house to continue to try, and as she walked, she came to the door of the large kitchen yard, where there were two cages of chickens.

"Woo, people don't want to be eaten. ”

Wuge's footsteps, which were about to walk past the gate of the courtyard, paused, she heard the crow of the chicken, and her heart was happy, and she met an animal that could understand again, Wuge raised her feet and walked to the chicken coop.

"Are you talking?" asked Wuge as he bent down.

"It's me, it's me, help. "Little beauty, help", "Beauty save me." ”

The chickens in the coop cooped and cried out for help when they heard someone come to talk to them.

The people in the kitchen hurriedly walked out when they heard the voice, and when they saw the eldest lady standing outside, they took two steps and bowed and said with a smile, "Eldest Miss, why did you come here, there is a lot of smoke here, if you need to talk to the maids if you have anything." ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, looking at her clothes and style, and she was supposed to be the steward of the kitchen.

Wuge stood up and looked at the person who came, and smiled slightly, "It's nothing to do, just pass by and come in and take a look, you go and get busy, I'll take a look at these chickens here." ”

The kitchen steward had no choice but to nod and leave, and let her go in and say anything she needed directly.

Waiting for the others to leave, Wuge lifted his dress and simply squatted down, "Where did you come from, chicken, what you said is so strange, little beauty, what is this name, uncle?"

"We are all from Daliang Mountain, and some of our partners have been sent here to be eaten, woo, I don't want to be eaten. The chicken that was the first to speak cooed.

"I'll never grab anything to eat again, beauty, let me go. The chicken next to him fluttered its fat wings and said pitifully.

Wuge wanted to make sure he could hear them at first, but now he thinks these chickens are interesting, beauty, uncle, this is not a good name, the reason why they say this must be learned through regular contact. The brothel shouldn't be opened in the mountains, and why do all the shopping in the house come back from Daliang Mountain to buy chickens.

"Can you tell me about Daliang Mountain, what are the people like there, is there anything special?" Wuge asked after thinking for a while.

"It's a man, taller and stronger than you, darker than you, uglier than you. The hen cooed.

"You're talking about uncle, she's asking about beauties, but beauties aren't as good-looking as you, you're the best-looking, really." The hen who spoke first cooed, and had a strong desire to survive.

"Yes, you look the best, have a sweet mouth and are comfortable to touch. "Another chicken cooing with a strong desire to survive.

"Yes, yes, we love you the most, and we want to die on you. "This is also a survival chicken.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Wu Ge hurriedly interrupted them with a black line in his head, otherwise he didn't know what would be said later. What are you talking about, why don't these chickens learn well, speechless.

"Don't talk about this, is there anything else special, such as whether there are any strangers in the past, what do they live on, do they farm and sell poultry?" Wuge asked with a deliberately straight face.

The ten hens cooed quietly and remembered, not daring to talk nonsense, for fear that this little beauty would be angry.

"There should be sheep to Daliang Mountain, I once heard Zhang Ye say that this time I got a few fat sheep, and I can make a fortune. A hen said.

"I also remembered that there are dogs on the mountain, and I once heard Zhang Ye say that there are only a few earth dogs, which is not enough for a plate. The one next to him hurriedly said.

"There are so many animals in the mountains, why do you only sell us? "A pessimistic hen.

"That's it, that's it," and then the two cages of chickens began to crow one after another, and that was called a sad one.

"Okay, okay, I'll find a way to get you here, I don't know if I can save you. Wuge's head hurt from their crying, and he hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, thank you, little beauty. The chickens that were the most active and answered the most questions about Wusong said very excitedly.

Wuge ignored them anymore and went to the big kitchen to find the steward, asking for the three chickens in the cage to be taken out and put in her yard.

Although the steward did not understand what the eldest lady was doing, he did not say anything, and according to her request, he took out the three hens that looked very excited and put them alone in a small chicken coop, and then sent someone to the yard of the eldest lady.

"Thank you, Beauty. The chicken left with the man, and the sound remained. There is no song to support their foreheads, and when they go back, they must be told that they must change their names, or they will eat them.

"I want to ask, who is responsible for buying these chickens?" Wuge asked the steward who was standing aside.

"Miss Hui, it is Manager Cai who is responsible for the procurement of the kitchen. ”

Wuge thanked her and left the yard. I think that there is a problem with this Daliang Mountain, it should be a bandit's nest, and there is also a problem with that Cai steward, so I want Fu Chenghai to check it.

Fu Chenghai, who had asked for leave in the morning, returned home and asked Mama Lai to go to the Chu family to bring all the account books and keys, and sort them out and hand them over to Wuge in the next two days.

Wuge, who promised to accompany Fu Chenghai to dinner, met the little guy who came to invite her to the front yard for lunch on the way back, and it happened that she also needed Fu Chenghai to help her check Daliang Mountain, so she followed.

Seeing his daughter walking in in a bright red dress, Fu Chenghai frowned slightly, "Why don't you wear more, what if you catch a cold?" Hurry up and let people in to warm up.

"Why don't you take the maid out, and I can get you a dress or something. He glanced behind her and continued to chatter.

"Didn't you say that I'm not cold, didn't I give you tea yesterday?" Wuge said helplessly, didn't she see her face flushed, it didn't look like it was cold at all.

Fu Chenghai pursed his lips and didn't speak, only then did he remember how extraordinary his daughter was, when he wanted to do something for his child, his daughter didn't need it anymore, and he felt bitter.

Looking at Fu Chenghai looking at himself pitifully, Wu Ge's heart softened, "Okay, hurry up, I need your help." ”

Fu Chenghai walked into the inner hall with full blood, and it was warm inside.

"What do you need Daddy to do?" looked at her daughter hopefully, finally having her own use.

"Is there a Daliang Mountain in Yanzhou, what do the people on the mountain do, and why do the purchasing stewards in the government buy things from there?" Wuge said after a while.

"Buying something from Daliang Mountain? That's a very rampant banditry. Fu Chenghai frowned, how could the house buy things from.

"Since you say so, there must be something, and I'll find out here. Although he didn't ask, his daughter's words were not untargeted, thinking about the names of the two people he told him yesterday, as well as the cause of Mei Niang's death, he knew that his daughter was not simple.

"I suggest that you better straighten out the people in your family and see what has become of them, and how many people you can trust?" Wuge pouted in disgust, saying that wives and virtuous husbands are less troublesome, which is really a famous saying.

was educated by his daughter, Fu Chenghai's old face was slightly red, but what her daughter said was also right, "I will deal with the Chu family today, and let Mama Lai straighten out the subordinates tomorrow." ”
