Chapter 3 The Concierge and the Maiden
Although Zhuang Youjie does not often go in and out of the Shen Mansion, he has still been here a few times as a future son-in-law, if the porter has been in this position, it is impossible to admit the future uncle wrong.
"Oh, young master, you look at me who doesn't know anything," the porter patted his head, "Wang Shun contracted typhoid fever a few days ago, and went home on leave to recuperate. ”
The person named Wang Shun in his mouth was the porter who had been serving in the Shen family in the past.
Liang Yuanque listened to this on the sidelines and silently remembered the name.
"Oh." Zhuang Youjie listened to the words of the porter and nodded.
As he was talking, the porter had already led them to the entrance of the hall, and the middle-aged man sitting in the right seat should be Master Shen, he was stunned when he saw Zhuang Youjie, and then wiped his tears and welcomed him out.
"Virtuous nephew, your sister Lan, she ......" Before the words came out, Master Shen couldn't cry.
Ah, it's really grief-stricken, Liang Yuanque thought to himself as he looked at Master Shen's appearance.
Zhuang Youjie hurriedly carried him into the hall and sat down, "Uncle Shen, I already know, you mourn, Sister Lan has gone, you can't cry and break your body, otherwise won't it make Sister Lan restless?" ”
Master Shen still hid his face and wept, and he was able to contain his emotions under Zhuang Youjie's persuasion, and only then did he notice Liang Yuanque, who was looking around at this time as he walked into the hall together.
Master Shen Xu was blurry because he was still crying just now, he pointed to Liang Yuanque and asked Zhuang Youjie, "Virtuous nephew, who is this girl?" ”
Before Zhuang Youjie, who was asked, opened his mouth to answer, Liang Yuanque spoke first, and his speech was very simple and straightforward, "Master Shen, I am a man." ”
Master Shen was stunned for a moment, and Zhuang Youjie explained embarrassedly, "Uncle, this is the master I invited, he is here to arrest the murderer and avenge Sister Lan." ”
Master Shen squinted his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, and saw that this person was dressed as a Jianghu person, and he was very young, so he couldn't help but be suspicious, "This little brother, are you here to arrest someone?" How sure are you? ”
"There are twenty yellow croakers," Liang Yuanque looked at Master Shen's brocade clothes and added with a smile: "It's a big yellow croaker." ”
When Master Shen said this, he was even more confused, and Zhuang Youjie found another opportunity to interject, "Uncle, I promised him that if he could catch the murderer, he would pay him twenty yellow croaker." ”
Xu was out of trust in Zhuang Youjie's guarantee, or perhaps he was disappointed in the group of rice buckets in the police station and had to try everything, Master Shen chose to believe in the young man in front of him.
"If you can really catch the murderer of my daughter, I'll give you thirty big yellow croaker!"
"Refreshing," Liang Yuan was about to blossom, "I like to trade with people like you!" ”
After getting Master Shen's permission, Liang Yuanque threw himself into work non-stop.
Master Shen summoned Shen Yuelan's personal maid Swift before her death, and asked her to take Liang Zhuang and the others to Miss Lan's boudoir before her death, that is, the scene of the crime to investigate.
Swift is a petite girl, she seems to be very timid, trembling along the way, I don't know if she is afraid of Zhuang Youjie or Liang Yuanque, or if returning to Miss's boudoir is a very frightening thing.
Liang Yuanque took a quick step, his body was almost the same as the swift leading the way in front of him, and he didn't miss the expression on the swift's face.
Fear, fear on the surface, and panic that is about to be impossible to hide.
When a dead person is killed, it is right to be afraid, but what is the reason for panicking?
Swift led them to the door of an elegantly decorated room, bowed her head and whispered, "Two young masters, this is the eldest lady's bedroom." ”
Liang Yuanque glanced at Zhuang Youjie, as if he was seeking verification.
Sure enough, Zhuang Youjie noticed that something was wrong and asked Yuyan, "Why did Sister Lan change the room?" ”
Although he has met Miss Lan very rarely, he has been to the Shen family before, and he also knows where Shen Yuelan lives.
"Small, Miss has been happy and quiet for a long time, and in order to avoid the noise, she moved here last autumn."
The panic on Swift's face was about to surface up.
Liang Yuanque recorded all her expressions, but did not mention it on her face, but raised her chin at the bedroom door and said to Swift, "Open the door." ”
Swift still looked timid, but obediently pushed the door open, and screamed as soon as she opened it.
Zhuang Youjie heard the exclamation and hurriedly looked at it, only to see a blue and white figure floating in the dim room.
"Ahh He couldn't control his screams, and he fell backwards again and again.
Fortunately, Liang Yuanque supported him behind him, so he didn't fall crooked, and the two looked into the room together, only to see that the figure was gradually drifting towards the door.
"What's that?" Zhuang Youjie gritted his back molars and said.
"Miss Lan's fragrant soul is back?" Liang Yuanque said it casually in his ear, but it was so exciting that the cold hairs on his body exploded.
Although he kept reassuring himself in his heart and said, that was Sister Lan, the people I knew before, but there were few people who were not afraid of ghosts.
The pale figure floated over, if it weren't for someone behind him to support him, Zhuang Youjie was afraid that he was about to vomit, and the figure gradually drifted from the darkness into the light, and everyone could see that it was a young woman in a light-colored dress.
Seeing the woman's face clearly, Zhuang Youjie and Yuyan both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two, Second Miss, why are you here?" Swift asked tremblingly.
The woman in front of her is naturally not Shen Yuelan's unjust soul, but her younger sister Shen Yuexin, the second lady.
"Who is this?" Shen Yuexin ignored the swift's question, but stared straight at Zhuang Youjie and Liang Yuanque behind him.
"Second Miss, this is Young Master Zhuang." Swift was puzzled.
Of course, Zhuang Youjie knew that Shen Yuexin wanted to ask not himself, so he opened his mouth to introduce her, "This is Mr. Liang, I invited to handle the case." “
After he finished speaking, Liang Yuanque nodded at her and said hello, "I've seen Second Miss." ”
"I don't need to!" No one expected Shen Yuexin's reaction to be so loud, and she screamed loudly, "Where did you come from, stinky liar!" It's just worrying about our family's wealth! ”
Aha? Liang Yuanque thought to himself, is my intention to be greedy for money so obvious now? Looks like I'll have to take it when I want to do it later.
Shen Yuexin said, and stepped forward to push Liang Yuanque, Zhuang Youjie subconsciously helped him block, but was vigorously pushed to the ground, and Liang Yuanque stretched out his hand and firmly grabbed Shen Yuexin's right hand waved in the air, and inadvertently saw a red and swollen scar on the side of her white and tender thumb.
Because her attention was drawn to Shen Yuexin's fingers, she didn't guard against her raised left hand and slapped him steadily in the face.
"Get out! Get lost! Shen Yuexin was still going crazy, and Swift pounced on her and grabbed her.
"Miss, Liang, Young Master Liang is really here to investigate the case! The lord has allowed it! Swift pulled her and said.
At the same time, Shen Yuexin, who was crazy, actually glanced at Yuyan for a short time.
I don't know if it's because of suspicion, Liang Yuanque felt like they were exchanging glances.
Yuyan's words did not persuade Shen Yuexin, she stopped at the door of the room and glared at Liang Yuanque, "My sister's boudoir can't let men in!" This is the rule for every big family! ”
Liang Yuanque was not used to her, so he directly stepped forward and pushed her away, "Pull you down, your sister is gone." ”
