Chapter 335: Keep People
After the Jiankang city lord euphemistically expressed the hope that the guests who came from outside the city would play in Jiankang City for a few more days, the city lord's mansion would cover their expenses, and some of the city lords who had planned to make friends with Jiankang naturally opened their mouths to echo and express their gratitude, but there were also many husbands and wives who came together, and the big families had different things to deal with every day, and one or two days might be nothing, once the time passed, who knew what problems would arise at home.
Someone asked out loud, the city lord's tone was still tactful, and he said that there would be a result in a day or two at most, and the people below had different expressions, only Hong Funny felt a little strange, the current matter is nothing more than two situations, one is that the monster commits the crime, and the other is that the monster borrows the person to commit the crime, according to the other party's method of disposing of the corpse, the latter is more likely, and it is relatively better to investigate, after all, in the current situation, investigating the whereabouts of a mortal is much simpler than investigating the whereabouts of a monster.
The body was found in the City Lord's Mansion again, and the last place where Tu An appeared before he disappeared was also outside the wall of the City Lord's Mansion, and according to the breath found by Hong Tuo, he also acted in the City Lord's Mansion, and there was a period of breath in the middle that disappeared, and that time should be the time when he was killed, and it was obvious that the other party was moving in the City Lord's Mansion. The breath of disappearing breath is in the east courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, in addition to the courtyard of the young master and young lady, there are also many small courtyard rooms for guests to stay in, assuming that the Jiankang City Lord's family has no murderer, according to the strict rules of the City Lord's Mansion, it is quite difficult for people outside the City Lord's Mansion to bring people in and kill them, and the decent people in the City Lord's Mansion and the distinguished guests who live in the City Lord's Mansion are another matter.
Kang Nian said that he heard a faint cry for help in the middle of the night yesterday, indicating that the other party should have deceived people to lock them up somewhere during the day, and only started to start cutting new ones at night, and Lu Bai came to the city lord's mansion to meet him yesterday, and then there was such an enchantment in the sky above the city lord's mansion, so the person who harmed people must not have used mana, of course, if he was at the level of Wu Gui, he would not be afraid of Lu Bai's enchantment, but he needed to use the hands of mortals to kill people, which means that its own strength is not strong, otherwise it will not even be able to deal with a corpse.
Hong Tuo was very suspicious that the mortal who was controlled by the monster was a person in the City Lord's Mansion, and he was a person who was very familiar with the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise he would not have known that there was a dry well in such a place.
In this way, the first thing Hong Tuo thought of was the subordinate of the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, who could achieve the position of steward, indicating that he had worked in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, and secondly, such a person was more likely to come into contact with Yan'an, and it was not suspicious, even if he went out in the middle of the night, he could also use the excuse of business.
Then, as the owner of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord of Jiankang must know that ordinary people can't blend into his mansion, and it is obvious that the murderer is in the City Lord's Mansion, so why does he want to leave all the guests who come to the banquet in Jiankang City, you must know that many of them are relatives who live in the city temporarily, except for the hour or two of the banquet, it is impossible to contact the City Lord's Mansion.
During Hong Tang's contemplation, the city lord of Jiankang said some beautiful scenes, and began to arrange for his subordinates to prepare for the banquet, because the male and female seats were arranged in different places, and Ah Lu needed to go to another place to eat with the female dependents, Wu Gui wanted to give two words, and the words turned into a light smile on his lips: "That's it, just be happy." ”
Ah Lu gave him a white look: "Don't worry, I won't lose your face." ”
Wu Gui said "um" softly, and watched Ah Sheng take Ah Lu to the place where the women's seat was.
Hong Lu looked at it coldly and didn't speak, and when Ah Lu turned around the corridor and couldn't see his back, Wu Gui withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the Jiankang City Lord who came from the other side.
The city lord of Jiankang personally invited Wu Gui, Wu Gui first refused with a sad face, and only under the hospitality of the city lord of Jiankang did he say many times that he would "disturb" and "trouble" and so on, and should be invited by the lord of Jiankang.
Although some people are dissatisfied with the attitude of the Jiankang City Lord who is so tough and leaves them, they still have to do the face work that should be done, and it is also peaceful and joyful in the staggered fundraising.
After the meal, Wu Gui looked at the women's seat and saw that there were female relatives coming out one after another, but he didn't wait for Ah Lu to come out, and he was not very anxious on his face, so he just stood in place and waited.
There were many owners who knew her who came to say hello, Wu Gui dealt with the past one by one, and one or two of them had the meaning of marriage, Wu Gui only smiled and didn't say anything, only waiting for Hong Tuo to refuse, Hong Tuo was unambiguous, anyway, it was Wu Gui's favor, he didn't bother to deal with it.
After a while, the servants of the city lord's mansion came in small steps, saying that the city lord arranged to serve them, why are there no servants around them, this problem Jiankang city lord has been "concerned" at the beginning, Wu Gui Zhidao has always been out to play and does not like to bring slaves, he is a big man, what can not be done by himself, it will not hurt to bring some to take care of his wife and children when he has a wife and children in the future, and the city lord of Jiankang who is confused treats him more and more differently, Hong Tuo is only silent on the side, for fear that he can't help but expose this man's lies.
Wu Gui asked the subordinate to wait for a while, and occasionally looked at the female dependent, who was also clever, and quipped: "Gongzi and Mrs. Ling are really in love, and they don't want to be separated for a moment." ”
Hong teased when he heard this, turned his face to look away, and saw that talking was the basic skill of being a slave, so he wouldn't take it to heart.
Wu Gui didn't answer this, but said: "A person worthy of being the city lord, his words are so clever and pleasing, I don't know what errand the little brother is doing in the city lord's mansion?"
The man smiled: "The servant Kang'an is in charge of the guest room in the east, and he is a small steward." ”
Wu Gui asked: "I don't know who the head of the City Lord's Mansion is?" ”
Kang An smiled politely and respectfully: "Childe, where is this, you are a guest, just mention what you want, Steward Yuan is busy, and most of the housekeeping in the backyard is not very careful." ”
"Who's in charge of the backyard?"
Kang An still smiled: "The backyard is divided into several stewards, and the east wing where the son is located is the place under the jurisdiction of the slave, and the son has nothing to do with the slave to ......."
Wu Gui lowered his eyes and showed a standard business smile: "In this way, it will be troublesome for the little brother." ”
Kang An is very good at talking, with an expression of honor: "Childe is polite, it is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve Childe." ”
Such an obvious compliment said that Hong teased a chill, pretending to enjoy the scenery, and his eyes suddenly fell on Ah Lu, who was walking out of the corridor, but there was a woman next to her, who was actually the fourth lady of the city lord's mansion, Kang Qing.
Why did Kang Qing and Ah Lu walk together, and both of them were smiling and talking very harmoniously, and Ah Sheng, who was following the two, stared at Kang Nian with a dissatisfied face.
Not only did Hong Au feel strange, but even Wu Gui showed a little surprise when he saw this scene, but he reined in quickly.
