The couple looked at each other and laughed together.

"I'm done tomorrow, I'll go see my aunt too," Xie Zhiyun said, "At the very least, someone can talk to my aunt and make my aunt happy." ”

Wei Ji shook his head: "No need, my aunt said that she would close the door for a few days, and she didn't want to see anyone." ”

Xie Zhiyun sighed again.

After talking about Shen Wenchun's matter, Xie Zhiyun felt a little more relaxed, and then asked Wei Ji half-jokingly: "I heard my mother say that you have a marriage contract before, are you unhappy?" ”

The hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly.

"Happy?" There was only confusion in his eyes.

Xie Zhiyun squinted his eyes, and looked at him left: "Today's braised pork is really fragrant, the taste is just right, with a hint of sweetness, it is Lang Huan's method." ”

Wei Ji looked at her lightly, not saying or laughing, as if he wanted to see through Xie Zhiyun's heart.

"Look at what I'm doing, aren't you hungry too?" Xie Zhiyun immediately stopped talking about the topic of Fang Cai.

Wei Ji looked at her fixedly, it was rare to be blessed to his heart, he still stared at Xie Zhiyun, but the words he said made Xie Zhiyun's heart tremble.

"It turns out that Madame will also be jealous for me."

Xie Zhiyun's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Who's jealous?"

The Halberd couldn't help but laugh.

"Ma'am, I already smell sour."

Xie Zhiyun didn't look at him, he ate his own food, just pretending that he hadn't said what he had just said.

"Eat more vegetables, eat more vegetables." The halberd was attentive to her with vegetables.

"Madam, I'm glad you can be jealous of me." Wei Ji looked at Xie Zhiyun with a smile, "It makes me happier than anything today." ”

Xie Zhiyun suddenly felt a little moved.

She heard her heart pounding, and immediately afterward, uncontrollable words began to speak from her mouth.

"Why are you happy?"

The hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and then smiled calmly.

"Because, I am occasionally jealous for Madame."

The halberd looked at her meaningfully: "I hope Nian Nian only looks at me, thinks of me, and thinks about me." ”

Xie Zhiyun felt that his face was even redder.

She lowered her head, almost burying her face in the bowl, but her heart was sweet, sweeter than the sweet braised pork.

After eating, the chief steward arrived early.

He came in the rain, and most of his clothes were wet, but he didn't care about his embarrassment, and knelt down as soon as he came.

Wei Cang was not at home, Wei Ji and Xie Zhiyun met him directly in the vestibule study.

The chief butler is over forty years old, because he looks a little old in the Zhuangzi all day, and when he kneels like this, the halberd is naturally not allowed.

Xie Zhiyun threw Xiao Zhong a look, asked him to help the big butler get up, and asked him to sit down and talk.

"Little grandfather, young lady, the original young lady asked the little one to come back tomorrow, but the little one checked the roots of these two people, and he still couldn't sit still, so he rushed to the house in advance."

Outside there was lightning and thunder, and the rain was pouring down, Xie Zhiyun asked him to come tomorrow, originally because he was afraid that something would happen to him on the road, so he comforted him: "It's a good thing that you came early, if you find anything, tell me about it." ”

The chief steward wiped the water off his face with a handkerchief, and then said, "That Peng Ertou was originally a homeless person. ”

"Two years ago, when the war in Yezhou subsided, and people were needed everywhere, he and his brother went all the way to the gate of Zhuangzi, saying that they wanted to exchange labor for rations."

"He looks good, he is also smart, and he knows a few words, the homeless people had no identity at that time, and the two brothers were poor and white, and the identity documents on their bodies had long been lost, so I took them in."

In the war years, there were countless such people.

There is no way to check the identity in detail.

Xie Zhiyun and the guard glanced at each other, and both of them knew it.

Even if you have to be on guard, it is a foreigner who is on guard against the accents of Daqi and Beiliang, and the locals near Yezhou can hear it as soon as you hear the accent.

It is impossible for outsiders to imitate the exact same.

Moreover, during the war, many government offices were burned down, and even if you had to trouble checking the identity documents, there was nowhere to check them.

Xie Zhiyun said: "I have spoken to them, they all have local accents, and the farthest is Taixing or Xichuan, even if they are born in Daqi or Beiliang, they can't have such an accent without ten or eight years of practice." ”

The chief butler said with a bitter face: "That's right, I also told them about the early years at that time, and they were all able to answer, and they looked like locals." ”

Wei Ji lowered his eyebrows: "Locals can also become traitors, for many people, the Suguo Mansion is just a temporary jurisdiction over the eight states. ”

The big butler's heart trembled, and he was about to tremble immediately.

However, Xie Zhiyun's attitude was calm and comforted him: "Big housekeeper, you go on." ”

The chief housekeeper took a few breaths, and then said: "Alas, the Peng brothers have always been very diligent, and they are also quick to work, and Peng Ertou is even more eloquent, so in just two years, he was promoted to steward, and his brother is a little wooden, he only knows how to work, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays." ”

Xie Zhiyun nodded and let him continue.

The chief steward said: "They usually dispatch the veterans, arrange how they go to work, and are on duty at night, and they can write the list of workers clearly every time, and they have a good relationship with the veterans." ”

"After the incident, the little one flipped through the list of accounts on the Zhuangzi and found no problems."

Xie Zhiyun sighed: "It is impossible for them to have a problem, if there is a problem, you will definitely find it, or those veterans can also find out." ”

"They have been lurking for the past two years, maybe it's for the recent," Xie Zhiyun said, "They must have done something two months ago, so that Ruan Niangzi found out, and then they wanted to kill her." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the halberd, and the halberd said: "That's right, they killed Ruan Niangzi this time, it is impossible to leave no traces, as long as they leave traces, they can't escape, so what must they do after killing Ruan Niangzi, and then leave Yezhou directly and completely defect." ”

"In the past two months, they may have planned to continue to stay in Yezhou, but Ruan Niangzi has been unmoved, just not taking the bait, so they have to make this decision."

Xie Zhiyun and Wei Ji said this, and looked at the big butler together.

The big butler was immediately trembling when he was looked at by the two pairs of eyes.

"Little grandfather, young lady, about this, the little one has found a clue."

He took out a piece of wheat straw from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Zhong, who asked him to present it to the two of them.

"I noticed that there was an extra straw of this kind in their house, and when I smelled it closely, it smelled of fire oil."

Wei Ji and Xie Zhiyun leaned in to smell it, and they did smell the smell of fire oil.

Speaking of this, the face of the big butler also turned cold.

He gritted his teeth and said, "This oil looks like they saved little by little when they were on duty at night, and then applied it to the dry wheat stalks, and piled up little by little in the house, and no one would care." ”

"They want to burn down the Zhuangzi and the rice fields that are about to ripen."
