Half an hour later, Justin and Mingyue Qingyun arrived at the room where Ruth, the food delivery maid, was being held.

Seeing Ruth's frightened eyes, Justin said gently, "Are you responsible for the diet during Qinghe's retreat?"

Ruth replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes." ”

Justin frowned and looked at the other party and said, "If you don't want your family to bury you, just relax for me." You're so scared, are you the murderer?"

Ruth was frightened, straightened up and said, "No, I didn't hurt Miss. ”

Justin said, "Then answer well." Seeing Ruth slowly quiet down, he continued to ask, "Where do you usually live?"

Ruth replied in a trembling voice, "We usually live in the arena, and this is the case these days. ”

Justin asked, "Which of the seven of you has been out these days?"

Ruth thought for a moment and replied, "I went out to Rio once, saying that I came back to buy some flowers and plants, but then I didn't buy anything. ”

Justin secretly jotted down Rio's name, and then continued to ask, "How do you deliver food to Qinghe on weekdays?"

Ruth replied cautiously, "After the food is prepared in the kitchen, I will carry it to the second door of the secret room. ”

Justin asked, "Who else has been in?"

Ruth secretly glanced at Mingyue Qingyun, and then said carefully: "Since the young lady lives with the adults, she doesn't come back often. Everyone is a little casual, and they just wander around and play on weekdays when they have nothing to do. After the retreat, everyone was very attentive to each other, and they were very careful in their work these days. It's just that I had some stomach pain when I delivered food a few days ago, so I asked Ji Si to help me deliver food once. ”

Justin asked, "Have you delivered food on time for the past two days?"

After a long time, she said, "Five days ago, I went to deliver food. Seeing that the food at the door was not moving, I felt a little strange in my heart. I didn't dare to ask, so I brought the untouched food back to the kitchen. I went to deliver food again that day and still didn't see Miss Qinghe to eat, I thought Miss Qinghe was breaking through, so I didn't dare to speak out. ”

Justin asked, "Later, did you go to deliver food again?"

Ruth was stunned and said, "I thought Miss Qinghe would come out after breaking through." I didn't expect her to never come out. ”

Justin asked, "What did you do with Miss's untouched meals?"

Ruth thought for a moment and said, "Poured into the bucket of swill." ”

Justin was surprised and asked, "You actually threw away the untouched food?"

It's no wonder that Justin was surprised, before the Thorn Collar developed, he was able to eat coarse grain bread and occasionally some fine grain pastries. Justin didn't like to eat or eat leftovers, and the servants in the castle rushed to eat it. Who let the lord's family have no surplus food!

Now, the Thorn Collar has developed, and the standard of living of the attendants has risen. Justin no longer worries about food, and naturally focuses on studying magic and swordsmanship, and there are mostly Jia Fang and Jia Fei waiting around him. Almost no longer pays attention to the diet of the slaves.

In fact, the minions of the Thorn Lord's castle have long since stopped eating leftovers. Whether it is Jia Ling or Jia Fang and Jia Fei, they are in charge of the life of the castle and naturally have to take into account the face of the lord.

Justin's consciousness was still stuck in the thorn collar of the hard times, so he would naturally be surprised.

Ruth was stunned and replied, "That's how leftovers are handled in the arena!"

Beside Justin, Mingyue Qingyun added, "There is no problem with that. ”

Recalling the eventful years of lack of food and clothing in the past, Justin couldn't help but sigh. Lo and behold, yourself as a lord. The past life was not as good as the slaves here. Can you not be desperately enterprising!

Justin perked up and asked, "Has anyone behaved strangely these days?"

Ruth thought for a moment and said, "Everyone is normal, I don't see anything out of the ordinary. ”

Justin asked, "Think about it again. This is important for you to clear your name!"

Ruth thought about it a little nervously, shook her head, and said, "I really can't remember." ”

Justin and Mingyue Qingyun went out of the house together, and then let the guards guard it. Justin asked, "Can the second son hear anything wrong?"

Mingyue Qingyun thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Now my heart is very messy, and I feel that there are no omissions or mistakes in general. ”

Justin sighed and said, "Of all these slaves, she is the most suspicious. But I really can't find a breakthrough at the moment!" As he spoke, he and Mingyue Qingyun came to the second detention room again.

Walking into the house, Justin saw a bewitching Ruth, he looked at Mingyue Qingyun questioningly, "This is?"

Mingyue Qingyun said: "Jiafu is the steward among the slaves, and is usually responsible for purchasing various daily necessities and silver expenses. ”

Justin looked at Jiafu and asked, "Since you are the head of Qinghe here." I think you also know that no matter what goes wrong with Qinghe, it will be difficult for you to escape the blame. Now I'll give you three minutes to tell me everything you know. ”

Jiafu silver teeth bit her lip lightly, showing a mature and charming attitude, and because she was pushed by the attendant a few times just now, her clothes were a little messy, and her eyes were misty, looking very pitiful.

When Mingyue Qingyun saw this scene, she was very dissatisfied in her heart, and she snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Jiafu looked at Mingyue Qingyun and said, "Second son, Jiafu really didn't harm Miss Qinghe?"

Justin saw Jiafu Pear Blossom's aggrieved and pitiful posture, and laughed secretly in his heart, this set is not of much use to himself, let alone the "second son" of Xibei goods.

Sure enough, Mingyue Qingyun looked at Jiafu in disgust and said, "Put away your tricks." What did I tell you when I asked you to be in charge of Qinghe, I won't dislike your background, just because Qinghe has a simple temperament, and all aspects of the relationship need you to maintain and coordinate. But at the critical juncture of Qing He's advancement, what did you do? Qing He doesn't know how to do this?"

Faced with the accusation of Mingyue Qingyun splitting her head and covering her face, Jiafu didn't dare to come out, and stood there with her eyebrows pleasing to her eyes, her face red and white for a while.

Seeing Jiafu's silent expression, Justin asked gently, "Who has sent food to Qinghe in the past few days?"

Jiafu replied respectfully: "Usually Ruth goes to deliver it, as for whether she asks someone else to deliver it on her behalf, I don't know." ”

Justin thought for a moment and asked, "Qinghe has never been an eventful person, are you so busy with so many slaves?"

Jiafu replied in a panic: "Miss Qinghe is very kind, sometimes the slaves will not be punished if they are found to be lazy, so the management is relatively loose. (To be continued.) )
