The flower girl squatted under the restaurant again, the pure white gardenia was fragrant, and it was blown in the upstairs wing room with the wind and then rolled out, taking away the momentary stagnation in the room.

Steward Zhou's stiff face pulled a smirk, wiped the thin sweat on his forehead, lowered his eyes and said, "What kind of human trafficking, Master Yun really knows how to laugh, I don't understand." ”

Yunqi smiled coldly, and looked at him lightly, not sharp, but there was a kind of ridicule that people couldn't ignore, "I guess, why Panlongzhai Black Five, Golden Snake Gate Huang often has close contacts with the Zhou family, and he is like a brother to the second son of the Zhou family." ”

Steward Zhou's eyes flickered, and he raised his head hesitantly.

Yun Qi's eyelids lifted, squinted at him, and said, "What are these two people, Steward Zhou won't know it, right?" Your Zhou family has a lot to do with bandits, it's hard not to be suspicious. ”

"This ...... Panlongzhai and Golden Snake Gate are local bandits, and our lord is weak but he doesn't dare to offend, not in the same stream. ”

"Coincidentally." Yun Qi knocked on the table with the jade bone fan in his hand, knocking on Steward Zhou's heart, with a taste of play: "Hei Wu and Huang Changyou suddenly disappeared with a few of their right-hand men, leaving an empty shelf in Panlong Village and Golden Snake Gate, giving His Royal Highness the Prince a chance to eradicate the evil and evil, you see, it was such a coincidence that the account books left by Hei Wu and Huang Changyou were found." ”

The corners of his lips are slightly hooked like crimson, his peach blossom eyes are sparkling, and he laughs with the charm of upside down beings, "Shang County, female, two; Chiya County, one daughter and one son; Lu Min County, boy, one person ......"

Steward Zhou was like a pins and needles in the place he reported quietly, his expression kept changing, and finally he couldn't sit still, he stood up suddenly, and said with a tangled face: "It's not about the master, it's all done by Zhou Yao." ”

Lu Anran wiped off the pastry crumbs from his fingers, withdrew his gaze from Yunqi, and asked, "Who is Zhou Yao?" ”

"It's the second young master of our family." After Steward Zhou answered, he specially explained, "But the master has expelled him from the house before his death, and we are not allowed to call the second young master." ”

If Zhou Ting is deeply valued by Zhou Hou, although he has not made achievements in his studies, he has a very good set of business, is sleek and principled, and has the relationship between Xue Tai, given time, the Zhou family is not afraid of not being famous.

Partial birth of a Zhou Yao, he has shown a treacherous character since he was a child, and he is a little ambitious, and when he grew up, he was even more dissatisfied with his father handing over the business to Zhou Ting, and he met Black Five and Huang Changyou by chance, so he walked on the side door.

"The second young master is actually very smart, even more clever than the eldest young master, but the old master saw from the beginning that he was too smart and impetuous, resulting in being a man and not being down-to-earth, so he finally decided to hand over most of the business to the eldest young master, and only let the second young master do some small things such as collecting rent."

Zhou Yao was unwilling and wanted to prove that he was the best one in the Zhou family, trying to impress everyone.

"What he and Hei Wu did together, the lord didn't know from beginning to end, and when the lord vaguely realized that something was wrong, he ordered the second young master to go to the official mansion to surrender, who knew that Hei Wu and Huang Chang suddenly disappeared."

Steward Zhou tightened his brows, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "That day, a big dispute broke out between the master and the second young master, and the father and son broke off the relationship because of this, I don't know the specific content, but after that day, the master said that he would go to the ancestral hall to ask for a genealogy, and cross out the name of the second young master from the family tree." ”

Removing the name from the family tree means expelling the family and no longer being a member of the Zhou family.

"But then the old man fell seriously ill, and the matter was put on hold, and after more than half a year, someone found that the second young master died outside, and the old man saw the body of the second young master, and he fell ill again, and after this time, no one in the Zhou Mansion mentioned the second young master."

Steward Zhou hung his head, only looking at his side face, full of embarrassment and sadness, "Who would have thought that only how many days have passed, a good home, and it will be gone." ”

"Zhou Hou drove Zhou Yao out," Yun Qi leaned over and squinted slightly, "and then use that dirty silver to start a business and pave the way for the Zhou family?" ”

Steward Zhou's tense body froze, and his eyes dodged: "This ...... I'm a subordinate, and I really don't know what happened to my master's family. ”

Lu Anran raised his eyes, his eyes were penetrating, and Qingyin said coldly: "Your master really doesn't know, but he still made a play for the world to see." ”

Steward Zhou didn't expect her to speak so directly, and her expression was sluggish for a moment.

Now that the Zhou family is full of deaths, the girl said this...... What's the point? Steward Zhou smiled bitterly.

Yunqi stretched out a finger and shook it, "The Zhou family is dead, but the Zhou family, oh no, as you said Zhou Yao did, the women and children who were mutilated by Zhou Yao, how innocent they are, and how innocent their families are." ”

Steward Zhou was cramped and uneasy, and it was difficult to speak for a while.

Putting this topic aside, Yun Qi asked again: "What about the Zhou family's profit?" Don't say that Zhou Hou doesn't know. ”

Steward Zhou: "I, I'm just a subordinate......"

"I don't know, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion is too good?"

Steward Zhou's orange-peel-like wrinkled cheeks twitched, his cloudy eyes flashed, and he said: "Lord Yun, the people of the Zhou Mansion are gone, what's the point of saying this, I can't be any master alone, I just want to find the murderer for the master, and I can have an explanation when I see the Zhou family after death." ”

"Isn't it just going to sort out the case with you now and find out the murderer who is most likely to kill the Zhou family?"

"However, it was the Yaksha who destroyed the door, and Lord Yun asked this...... It has nothing to do with the Nakshatras. ”

"Really?" Yun raised his eyebrows, "Do you investigate the case or do I investigate the case?" The first thing to do in the investigation of the case is to find out the ins and outs, grasp all the clues, and then peel back the cocoon, you plan to provoke our ability to handle the case of the Criminal Division? ”

"Xiaomin doesn't dare."

"Okay, if you ask, you will answer, saying so much, it is because you don't want to do your best to find out the truth for the Zhou family."

Lu Anran admired Yunqi's ability to argue unreasonably, not to mention that the Zhou family was acting improperly, Steward Zhou already had a ghost in his heart, how could he let it go easily if he put Yunqi in his hand.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Steward Zhou to be defeated, "I, I know that the master originally had an account book in his hand, and after the Zhou family had an accident, I found it in the study, and I originally wanted the account book to be buried with the master, but Yizhuang caught fire and burned down." ”

Yunqi pointed at Steward Zhou and said with a smile: "You are really a loyal servant." ”

No wonder the Zhou family couldn't find any evidence related to the account books, and the steward who dared to love Zhou had already cleaned up the accident in the Zhou family, and it was he who underestimated this old servant.

Steward Zhou was unashamed and said, "The Zhou family is gone, and everything else is not important." Of course, he won't keep things that are bad for the Zhou family.

Seeing Steward Zhou leave with a basket in his left hand and a food box in his right hand, Lu Anran and Yun Qi had a new understanding of this old servant in their hearts.

Previously, they only thought that he was just an ordinary old and loyal servant, but now they found that Steward Zhou was more hidden than they thought.

Lu Anran looked at Yunqi, "Do you still suspect Steward Zhou of murdering for money?" ”

Yun Qi sighed: "There is a master family like this, it is understandable that the subordinates are bad." ”

The two got out of the restaurant, and Lu Anran knocked on the ground with a cane in his hand, moving very slowly.

Yunqi walked a few steps and waited, then looked back and thought, "Should I make you a four-wheeled vehicle?" ”

"It's not that serious, it's just that you can't use gravity, and it's okay to walk a few steps once in a while."

After passing by the flower girl, Yun Qichong raised his chin and asked with his eyes, 'Do you want more?' ’

Lu Anran shook her head, she is not a flower cherisher, she happened to fall into memories last time, and she didn't really want a bouquet.

Yunqi teased her, "For other women, the most beautiful things in the world are nothing more than flowers and jewelry, and you have to show off your otherworldliness if you disdain it like this." ”

"The son of the world is wrong." Lu Anran calmly retorted, "The air, the blue sky, and the white clouds are all the most beautiful things in the world, and not all good things must be had." ”

"But I still think you're different." The two walked to the carriage, there were people coming and going on the street, this small world, only the two of them, Yunqi smiled lightly, "Do you know what this means?" ”

Lu Anran looked at his handsome face, his peach blossom eyes were as black as ink, as if he contained old wine, he would be intoxicated when he looked at it, his heartbeat seemed to stop beating suddenly, and he seemed to beat wildly a few times, but on the surface, there was nothing abnormal from her calm eyebrows.

"There are thousands of beautiful things in the world, such as sunrise and sunset, stars and seas." He stared at her, his gaze like a tangible net, tightly bound, not sparing a single thing, "The world in your eyes is also you in the eyes of the world." ”

—

The carriage was moving, and the two sat on one side, and the atmosphere was silent.

Lu Anran thought a lot, about herself, about Yunqi, before she thought it through, she chose the safest topic.

"You don't have the account books of Hei Mist and Huang Chang in your hand, why didn't Steward Zhou suspect it."

Yunqi just casually read a few county governments, and the number of people and addresses were all nonsense, and Lu Anran was still worried that Steward Zhou would be suspicious, but he didn't expect to succeed.

With a slight glance, Yunqi knew that Lu Anran was deliberately interrupting, and he didn't dismantle her, but said: "This is natural, he has a ghost in his heart, whether he admits it or not, this matter can't be avoided." ”

Lu Anran put this matter in his mind, and said tentatively: "If he catches your loophole, it means that he knows, maybe he has seen the account book, but he pulled out Zhou Yao along with you, either he has not seen the account book but knows about it, or in fact, this is also his purpose." ”

Since I knew about the pickled things behind the Zhou Mansion, it was not easy to look at Steward Zhou.

"There is only one old housekeeper left in the Zhou Mansion?" Yun Qi said lightly and mockingly: "Is there really such a coincidence? ”

Lu Anran opened the carriage curtain and looked out, the scenery flashed with the horses running, and faintly saw a paper lantern fluttering in the wind in front of a shop, "Steward Zhou seems to often go to the same incense and candle shop." ”

On the day of the fire in Yizhuang, it was also because Steward Zhou went to the incense candle shop and did not rush back in time.

Yun Qi stared, and a confident smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "I have let Mo Yan secretly watch." ”

The two returned to the courtyard, and met Zi Sangjin waiting at the door with a personal spoon, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned, I have something to say to the two of you, please come with me." ”
