Chapter 21 Tell You a Little Story (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Li Tai, the Demon Detective Division, was ordered to come to Zhongfu to reconnoiter the demons."
The head saw Li Tai's official uniform of the Demon Detective Division, and hurriedly said: "I am the housekeeper of the Zhong Mansion in Xia Zhongjiu, and I have seen an adult. My lord has been waiting for a long time. ”
With a squeak, the door of the house was pushed open, and I saw the whole body of the human head, tall, powerful, and with that square face, I could see it even if I couldn't fight.
Zhong Jiu respectfully opened the door and saluted with his fists: "The master has already commanded, if there is an adult from the Demon Investigation Division who comes, he can go straight to the inner hall." ”
"Let's go, then."
"Your Excellency, please!"
Zhong Jiu bent down and respectfully asked, and after Li Tai walked into the Zhong Mansion, he walked half a step faster than Li Tai again and again, and said, "My lord, I have been walking along this stone road. ”
When I first entered the door, it was a yard, which was much larger than Li Tai's, and there were many peach blossoms planted, probably just raining, peach blossom petals everywhere, and four or five people were cleaning the petals scattered all over the place.
There is also a lotus pond a little before leaving, it is summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom beautifully, and there is a small pavilion in the lotus pond.
There were two women sitting opposite each other chatting in the small pavilion, and the lady who was sitting on the stone road saw the figures of Zhong Jiu and Li Tai, frowned, and said a few words to the other side.
Then he got up and left the pavilion to greet him, and Zhong Jiu saw the woman bending down and saluting respectfully, "I have seen the third lady." ”
The third lady seems to be the concubine of the Zhong family, but she should be a more favored concubine, and looking at the jewelry on her body, it is enough for him to buy more than ten Shelei talismans.
Li Tai looked at this third lady, her face was charming, young, and her face was full of collagen, it seems that this Master Zhong is also an unswerving person, he likes young when he is young, and he likes young when he is old, but he is no different from him.
"Who is this?"
The third lady glanced at Li Tai's appearance and figure, as well as the more prominent white lines on her eyebrows, and a hint of charm flashed in her eyes, but she quickly restrained her expression and asked with a smile.
"Lord of the Demon Detective Division, Lord Li Tai Lee. I came here for the crying in the middle of the night. ”
Zhong Jiu didn't have to hide it, in fact, many people in the mansion had heard the woman's cry in the middle of the night, and some people from the Demon Investigation Division came to inspect it, but they didn't find any clues.
But I don't know if this adult can do it.
"The concubine has seen Master Li."
The third lady put her hands on her waist and bowed slightly.
Li Tai smiled, glanced at the third lady's body, nodded and said, "I've seen the third lady." By the way, do you have foxes in your house? ”
"That's not true, the old man doesn't like hair very much, and if it is stained a little, it will be red and swollen. Therefore, it is forbidden to raise raccoon slaves, dogs, foxes, and other things in the house. I wonder what the adults have discovered? ”
Before the third lady could answer, Zhong Jiu next to him had already answered, and asked with some doubts.
"No, let's go. Third lady, see you later. ”
Li Tai bent down slightly, crossed the third lady, looked at the beautiful voice of the pavilion, and bowed his head to greet him.
Zhong Jiu hurriedly retired from the third lady and followed behind Li Tai, when he heard Li Tai ask, "Who is the one who stayed in the pavilion wearing blue clothes?" ”
"That's the second lady's cousin, but she has the best relationship with the third lady, and she always comes to find the third lady together, and then admires the flowers in the pavilion, drinks tea and chats or something. Is there something wrong, Lord Lee? ”
"No, but I have a question, and I will ask Steward Zhong to answer one or two."
"Your Excellency asked."
"This lotus pond is beautiful, who designed it."
"The eldest lady personally did the surgery, and I heard that she also invited a few feng shui masters to come and see it to gather wealth."
"Really? I didn't expect your eldest lady to have such skills. ”
"The eldest lady and the old man have a deep relationship, but unfortunately the eldest lady has already passed away, and then married the second lady and the third lady one after another.
However, the location of the main room is still left to the eldest lady. ”
Zhong Jiu said a few more words, but explained the relationship between the Zhong Mansion now.
"By the way, doesn't your lord have any heirs? How is it missing. ”
"The problem of the heir is my lord's heart disease, and I can't say the specific reason."
Zhong Jiu answered Li Tai's questions, but some of them were vague.
Li Tai didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "It's interesting, let's go see your master first." ”
He didn't expect to see Tsing Yi here, he seems to have been a little at odds with Tsing Yi recently.
I can't see any clues with the 'demon detection method', so it's no wonder that I dare to appear outside in public.
If it weren't for the fact that the demons and demons that Li Tai encountered one after another were all wearing green clothes, he probably wouldn't have noticed these things.
However, some questions should be asked to Master Zhong.
Zhong Jiu led Li Tai to the living room of the inner hall, a handsome middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous brocade and with a jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand was already waiting here, and when he saw Zhong Jiu and Li Tai, he quickly stood up and greeted him and said, "Lord Li, look up for a long time!" ”
"Master Zhong, it's only the first time we've met, and I'm just a nobody, so why don't you look up to me for a long time. It's Master Zhong, I've only admired it for a long time! ”
Li Tai hugged his fists, after all, Fu Rui Kong, he was the first time he had seen it in reality.
"Lord Li is young and handsome, and the nobody is only temporary, and he will soon be famous in Ansan."
The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and the first meeting to praise each other is also part of interpersonal communication.
Master Zhong Zhongzhong, one of the wealthy local businessmen in Anshan County, most of the herbal medicine trading in Anshan County passed through the hands of the Zhong Mansion, compared to the nouveau riche in the Chen Mansion, it is a little bit more reasonable, and it stands to reason that the Zhong Mansion must have raised a few monks.
I still haven't found any problems, and I'm afraid this thing is still a bit difficult.
"How about I tell a story to Master Zhong?" As soon as Li Tai sat down, he spoke.
"Please."
Zhong Zhong showed a hint of interest, and his eyes motioned for Zhong Jiu to leave the inner hall.
Li Tai said with a smile: "This story is called Painted Skin, and it is about a woman who was picked up from the street by a person who was a fox demon.
This fox demon can wear the skin of a beauty and turn into a human form, she relied on her beauty to get away the original main room of the person, and after she took the position, she began to use the cover of that person to kill people and take the heart to practice.
Finally, does Master Zhong know what the result will be? ”
The gong in Li Tai's hand stabbed the ground, making a loud 'bang', so that Zhong who didn't know what to think about came back to his senses, and when he heard Li Tai selling Guanzi, he also followed Li Tai's inquiry, and said, "What is the result?" ”
"All dead, the men and women are all dead, and they died miserably!"
Zhong Zhong was stunned, the expression on his face stiffened for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and smiled: "It seems that Master Li doesn't know how to tell a story, this story is lackluster." ”
"It's true that I didn't have a talent for storytelling since I was a child. If Master Zhong doesn't like to listen to me, I won't talk about it, after all, the story is realistic and interesting. ”
"Alright, the small talk is over. But can you ask Master Zhong to take me two items that the two ladies have used? ”
"This, if the adults don't give me a detailed explanation, then Rong Zhong will be difficult to obey."
