"Master, wake up, master, wake up......" Qingmei whispered a meter away from Qi Yan's bed.

Qi Yan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no trace of the meaning of just waking up in his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Qingmei hurriedly took two steps back, bent and replied, "Mr. He has an urgent matter to find you." ”

"Manager He, did you react so quickly?" Qi Yan muttered to himself for a moment, then got up and said, "Please ask Manager He to the living room, and I will go to see him." ”

"Yes. Qingmei retreated, and Qingsong stayed to serve Qi Yun and put on his clothes.

Not long after Mr. He sat down, he saw Mr. Qi walking in quickly, Mr. He immediately got up and saluted, and in the process of Qi Yan's walking, he bowed his head in return, sat on the top seat, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chief Manager He immediately replied: "Tao Ranju has been attacked by thieves. ”

'Sure enough!' Qi Yan's heart sank: "Although the immortal master has changed from fake to real, my other plans have not changed, treat the immortal master with the highest courtesy and respect, and sure enough, someone will do something to the immortal master immediately!"

Qi Yan's original plan was to find an "immortal master" as a bait and throw it out, and then pretend to have solved the sneak, sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and fish out the mastermind behind the scenes who was hiding in the mansion and stirring up the wind and clouds to be unfavorable to him.

Tao Ranju is located next to the back garden of Qifu where people come and go and it is easy to escape and hide, and its bamboo house defense is so weak that it is basically equal to nothing, which is very convenient for others to do.

It's just that...... Now the situation has changed, and both "sneaky" and "immortal master" have changed from fake to real.

But those preparations have been prepared for a long time, and how can they be changed at a moment's notice?

For this reason, he specially sent two guards from the inner palace who knew martial arts, just to prevent accidents, so as to evil the "immortal master".

With a fluke mentality, I hope that if the plan is successful, I can find the mastermind behind the scenes before alarming the "Immortal Master" and completely solve the matter, killing two birds with one stone.

If the plan does not succeed, then there is no mastermind behind it, and it is not man-made but sneaky at work.

"Can you alarm the Immortal Master?" Qi Yan asked.

Manager He was stunned for a moment, although he had heard that Master Qi valued this "Immortal Master" very much, but with his understanding of Master Qi, how could he really attach importance to that kind of charlatan?

He always thought that it was all a bureau made by Master Qi, who was plotting someone.

But now, Master Qi doesn't ask about the case, but first asks "Did you alarm the immortal master", which is different from what he thought, could it be that Master Qi really values that "immortal master"?

No matter what he thought in his heart, Manager He was answering Master Qi's question with a serious face: "I've been alarmed." ”

'Alarmed?!' Master Qi's brows furrowed, he wanted to have the best of both worlds, but he didn't expect it......

'Am I being too greedy?'

"What is the attitude of the Immortal Master?"

Mr. He's heart became more and more sure that the immortal master was really very favored by Master Qi, and he didn't ask about the thief, but asked about the immortal master three times in a row.

Where did Manager He pay attention to what the immortal master who was suspected of being a charlatan was doing in Tao Ranju just now?!

Trying to recall the memories of the "Immortal Master", he replied cautiously: "The Immortal Master has been lying quietly on the bed from beginning to end, indifferent to our affairs. ”

Qi Yan nodded, thinking of the immortal master's immortal sword in his heart......

Immortal Master, that's a real Immortal Master!

How could an immortal master be concerned about the mundane things of us mortals?

This thief is just an ant, fly and insect to him, if he doesn't provoke him, he will naturally disdain it, but if he provokes him, he is likely to kill him with a sword.

Although the immortal master may not care about this, he must apologize to the immortal master tomorrow and maintain a good relationship with the immortal master.

Since it had happened, Qi Yan was not angry, he just wanted to remedy it as much as possible.

'The immortal master wants to check the information in the library of the Qi Mansion, and he will live in the Qi Mansion for a period of time, and there is always a way to make up for it. ’

'And, thank you and apologize, it's all human relations, and sometimes bad things can turn into good things, don't they?'

After communicating these, Qi Yan will no longer hold on to it.

"Did the thief catch him red-handed?"

Qi Yan no longer asked about the immortal master, and began to ask about the thief, and directly asked the key points as soon as he asked.

If the thief was not caught red-handed, how many people were to blame for this! The first to bear the brunt of this was Chief He, who was in charge of the guards.

This is Qi Mansion!

Qi Mansion in Jishui County!

Manager He immediately got up and bowed apologetically: "No, when the subordinates went down, the thieves had already escaped, so ......"

Qi Yan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Mr. He quietly, saying nothing, not doing anything, but Mr. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and his body shivered involuntarily.

"Inner thief or outer thief?" Qi Yan finally spoke, asking softly.

This second question is another very critical question!

Obviously, the old man has long guessed about this matter.

Mr. He has been following Qi Yun for more than ten years, and immediately understood that this was his last chance, if the answer was inappropriate......

"Thief!" replied immediately.

Fortunately, Manager He had already investigated it before he came, and he already had the answer in his heart, otherwise...... This time it was really miserable.

After listening to Manager He's answer, Qi Yan nodded and said softly: "Sure enough!"

Then he asked, "Is there anyone suspicious?"

Mr. He knew that he had passed more than half of this level.

"Yes, I suspect it's one of the eight attendants who came from the villa to start with the green characters. ”

"According to Qinghe's description and the traces of the scene, I confirm that the light kung fu footwork used is "Shen Xing Bu", although "Shen Xing Bu" is very common in the rivers and lakes, but Qi's "Shen Xing Bu" has been specially improved, and it is very easy to identify. There are only eight people from the villa who know Qi's unique "Divine Walking Steps". ”

According to Qinghe's description and traces at the scene, it can be confirmed that he is a man, and there are only four suspects left. After his subordinates took people to visit the whereabouts of these four suspects, they found that Qing Bai, the attendant of the eldest young master, and Qing Song, the attendant who served beside the master, had at least two of them testifying that they were not at the scene at the time of the crime. The current suspects are fixed on the second young master's personal attendant Qingfeng and Tao Ranju's Qingzhu on duty. ”

Speaking of this, Manager He said with some hesitation: "It's just...... It's just that both of them seem to be undermotivated. ”

"The subordinates learned through the servant on the kitchen side that Qingzhu had some unpleasantness with the immortal master because of the bathing, but Qingzhu was waiting in Taoranju, and if he wanted to steal, he could steal it secretly at any time, and there was no reason to pick three watches to run in night clothes to steal. ”

Stealing and burglary, it seems that the process and result are the same, but they are two completely different crimes. And the difficulty of operation, the latter is obviously much higher than the former, and Qingzhu has no reason to abandon the former and choose the latter.

"Qingfeng, only the second young master said that Qingfeng had never left, but there was no other witness, but ...... Qing Feng has no intersection with the Immortal Master, and he has no motive to steal......"

Manager He didn't dare to say anything about the second young master, so he could only talk to Qingfeng. In fact, what is the meaning in it, the lord naturally knows. But some things have to be like this, if you see through it and don't say it, you can only understand it, not say it.

"So ......," said Mr. He, who paused appropriately.

Qingfeng is the personal attendant of the heir of the Qi Mansion, and Qingzhu is the personal attendant of the master's side. Both of them are from the mysterious mountain villa, and they are the true henchmen of the Qi Mansion, and their status in the master's heart is naturally not comparable to that of these guards recruited from outside.

Qingzhu and Qingfeng, Mr. He didn't want to offend any of them, even if he was forced by the pressure of the master, he had to put his investigation and analysis together, and in the end, he left a word, didn't say it to death, and did not do it to death, leaving room for it.

Qi Yan frowned after hearing this......

Qingfeng ...... Qi Zhang? How could the mastermind behind the scenes be Qi Zhang? He was the heir of the Qi Mansion! At the beginning of the year, I had already begun to hand over some of the forces to him, and he didn't have to do anything, the Qi Mansion was naturally his, so how could he be the mastermind behind the scenes?

Thinking that before going to bed, Qi Zhen reprimanded Qi Zhang heavily for the first time because of the matter of the immortal master, so Qi Zhang held a grudge and sent Qingfeng to steal to take revenge, which was also said in the past.

In this way, did the mastermind behind the scenes not do it tonight? Or, is it just sneaky, am I suspicious, there is no such thing as a so-called mastermind behind the scenes? After experiencing the matter of the immortal master slaying the ghost, Qi Yan is more inclined to the latter.

'Whether or not there is a mastermind behind it, it doesn't matter now, the most important thing now is the immortal master!'

Since this matter has already alarmed the immortal master, then it can't be good. It's just that in this way, Qingfeng's punishment can't be light! As for Qi Zhang's feelings, Qi Feng can't take care of it anymore, so it should be regarded as a punishment for his misbehavior during this time.

As for Qingzhu, hmph, he dared to snub the immortal master, and he really ate the gall of a bear heart and a leopard!

"Before going to bed, Zhang'er was reprimanded by me because of the immortal master. ”

After hearing this, Manager He immediately understood, if this was the case, then Qingfeng's motive would be enough!

This matter is now clear, and there is no doubt that the thief is Qingfeng.

Obviously, Qi Yan also thinks so, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

Qi Yan didn't even try Qingfeng and Qingzhu, and he didn't say that he would find any other human and physical evidence, so that the evidence was conclusive, and he didn't give the two a chance to argue, so he directly made a verdict based on his heart.

"Qingfeng, hit thirty boards and send them back to the villa. Qingzhu, play the top ten boards, and after asking for the forgiveness of the immortal master, you can stay, otherwise you can send it back to the villa. ”

Sent back to the lodge?!The punishment is so severe?!

Although Chief He didn't know what would happen to the attendants and maids who made mistakes and started with blue characters to be sent back to the villa, he had seen those people several times when they heard that they were beaten with a board, but when they heard the despair in their eyes when they were about to be sent back to the villa, he knew that returning to the villa was definitely a very terrible punishment for them.

Walking out of the living room, Mr. He had a feeling of the rest of his life.

"It seems that the attitude towards the 'immortal master' has to be changed. This is also a master who cannot be easily offended!"
