When Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi came to the martial manor again, what they saw was the scene of countless servants leaving with their burdens.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yutian immediately understood that they should all be dismissed.

After all, the only male owner of the family has died, and this huge family business is impossible for Mrs. Wu to support alone.

Therefore, dismissing the servants is also a method.

Although, Chen Yutian doesn't think that this is the best way to deal with things.

The two of them watched the servants leave in twos and threes with their burdens on their backs, or their faces were full of joy or sadness, and all the living beings appeared in front of them.

Chen Yutian couldn't help but sigh.

When I walked into the manor, I saw the only few servants sweeping the floor with brooms, but apparently, they didn't have much energy, just pretended to sweep and did things perfunctorily.

There were even a few people who looked at the servants who had been sent home, showing envious eyes.

But he didn't realize that the object of his envy was now with a bitter face and a sad brow, and walked out of the door as if a great calamity was coming.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yutian sighed even heavier.

Xuan Xi also shook his head helplessly.

Although it was the first time she had come, looking at the layout and scale of the manor, as well as the hordes of servants who had been dismissed, she could tell how lively and prosperous this manor had been before.

And now, all the prosperity has become a thing of the past.

What is left behind is the twilight full of eyes.

With a different mood, the two came to the atrium.

As soon as Fang entered the door, he saw a person who looked like a butler, who was teaching a few lazy servants, and his expression was very angry.

Chen Yutian stepped forward.

"This housekeeper is polite, and the Kowloon Mansion is responsible for investigating the murder of the lord of your mansion, and I have something to inquire with Mrs. Zun, I don't know if Mrs. Zun can do it?"

When the housekeeper heard that he was the person in charge of investigating the murder of the master, his eyes lit up!

"Yes, my wife is resting in this inner garden at the moment, please wait a while, and I will find someone to inform my wife." ”

"Then there's work. Chen Yutian arched his hand slightly with the jade fracture fan, and looked around quietly with his eyes silent.

The butler sent a maid who was in charge of serving tea to report.

Chen Yutian looked at her back as she hurriedly ran to the inner garden, his eyes condensed slightly, and then asked the housekeeper, "By the way, butler, when we came in, we saw many servants of your mansion walking outside as if they had been dismissed, what is going on?"

At the mention of this, the housekeeper sighed helplessly.

"Alas...... Don't mention it...... Because my wife decided to move back to the capital after the master's case was over, and because of the death of the master, some people in the whole manor were disheartened, and my wife also felt that there was no need for so many servants, so I decided to dismiss some of them first, and then dismiss all the ...... when I moved out of this place."

"I see. Chen Yutian nodded slightly.

Xuan Xi was a little curious, and asked, "It turns out that you also have a house in the capital?"

The butler nodded and said, "Yes." It was a place that the old man bought when he was young, and it was close to his wife's maiden home, so it was very convenient to go home to visit relatives...... I think Madame wants to move back in, probably because of this......"

At the end, he sighed.

Chen Yutian naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to these things, but from the butler's words, he found something that interested him extremely much.

"Madame's maiden family?"

"Yes, Madame's maiden family is in the capital, and she is also a native of Beijing, but her fortune is shallow, and she has not been married to the master for a few years, so she will be widowed. ”

The butler's words were slightly filled with a hint of regret.

But Chen Yutian grasped the most critical point from his words.

He subconsciously glanced at Xuan Xi.

Xuan Xi obviously also discovered what he had discovered, nodded at it slightly, and then asked: "You said that your wife has only been married to the master for a few years, but isn't your master already in the age of knowing the destiny of heaven? ”

The butler nodded and said, "Yes...... The lord is much older than the lady, which is why the lady's family has always opposed the marriage, but the lord finally moved the lady's parents and made them agree to the marriage. Speaking of which, it was only a few years ago. ”

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi glanced at each other again.

"However, I'm very curious, how did you, the housekeeper, know so clearly about these secret matters between your lord and wife?"

Hearing Chen Yutian's question, the housekeeper smiled slightly and said: "Don't hide it from the two, the old man was originally a servant of the lady's mother's family, and after marrying here with the lady, he became the housekeeper here, so he knows a little about the things of the year, but it makes the two of them laugh." ”

At this time, he obviously realized that he had slipped out to outsiders, so he stopped talking.

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi also knew enough information from him, so they didn't communicate with him again.

After a while, the maid in charge of the report returned.

"Please move to the inner garden, the lady is waiting in the flower hall at the moment. ”

......

......

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi followed the maid to the flower hall in the inner garden.

It is said to be a flower hall, but the decoration here is no worse than the hall in the atrium, and it is more quiet and elegant than the hall, which is commendable.

Although the flower hall is not large, every table and chair is made of fine pear blossom wood, exuding a burst of wood fragrance at the same time, it also makes people can't help but feel relaxed.

Around, there are several large paintings hanging on the walls, faintly exuding a light scent of ink from them.

The woody aroma mixed with the ink fragrance intertwines the air, creating an intoxicating aroma that makes people feel calm when they smell it.

Seeing this, Chen Yutian couldn't help but be taken aback!

The decoration here, whether it is the ink on the big painting, or the fine pear blossom wood, is the most precious thing in the world, and it has always been expensive, even if it is a dignitary in the capital, it may not be able to use it all.

And this small flower hall has all been gathered.

"How rich is this Wu Chengtian who can use such luxurious decorations at will, and where does his money come from?"

Looking around, Chen Yutian's eyes showed a deep groan.

Then, his gaze stopped on the main seat of the flower hall, the graceful and luxurious shadow.

As the housekeeper said before, Mrs. Wu was much younger than the old man Wu Chengtian, so although the two of them had been prepared, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw Mrs. Wu!

It's so young!

Chen Yutian looked at it in surprise, the shadow sitting on the main seat, her appearance, at most, was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she was in the best years of her life.

Although her hair has been coiled into a bun, because of this, it makes her already beautiful face even more moving, with bright eyes and bright teeth, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and Yao nose and cherry lips...... All of them were combined on her face as if they were the perfect match, as if they were the most proud work of the Creator.

What's more, her every move reveals a well-informed look, and at a glance, she knows that she is everyone's best girl.

However, how could such a well-informed lady be willing to marry a person who is nearly 20 years older than herself?

This question, like a big mountain, was in the hearts of Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi at the first sight of Mrs. Wu, and they couldn't let go of it for a long time.

"Are the two of you from Kowloon Mansion the Lord Catcher?" Mrs. Wu looked at the two of them and spoke.

Chen Yutian nodded, arched his hand slightly at Mrs. Wu, and said, "Exactly, I waited for the two of you to come this time, because I want to ask Mrs. you." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu hurriedly stood up from the chair, with a hint of excitement, and said, "My lord, it doesn't hurt to ask, as long as it is related to the master's case, the concubine will definitely know everything." ”

Chen Yutian hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Madam is polite...... I just heard outside below that Madame only married my lord a few years ago, right?"

Mrs. Wu nodded, sat down again, and said, "Yes, it has only been five years since the concubine married her deceased husband. ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and asked again: "I see...... I don't know if Madame still remembers what he did when she met Master Wu back then, and who is it?"

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she frowned and thought for a while, and replied: "It seems that he has just moved here from Yangzhou at that time, and the business seems to have just started in the capital, which is also one of the reasons why he was troubled by my father and mother when he went to my house to propose marriage." ”

Xuan Xi thought to herself, maybe the age gap between you is the real reason why your father is in trouble......

"But what are you asking for?"

Madame Wu glanced at the two of them with a slight suspicion.

Chen Yutian hurriedly explained: "Madame, don't misunderstand, it's all because when we were investigating the case of the martial master, we found that it was likely to be related to an experience when he was young, so we came here to ask Madame about it, I don't know if Madame knows about the old man's youth?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu glanced at the two of them in disbelief, and after knowing that she was sure that what they said was true, she frowned and thought about it, and sighed.

"I'm sorry...... I don't know anything about my old man's youth, and he never told me anything like that...... If he doesn't say, I naturally won't ask more. ”

"I see, but we were abrupt...... In that case, we will not bother Madame, and we will take our leave. ”

Chen Yutian stood up and sighed slightly.

The answer was expected, but it was still a bit disappointing......

However, just as the two of them got up and were about to leave the flower hall, Mrs. Wu suddenly opened her mouth and stopped them: "Slow down, two!"

"I wonder if there's anything else going on with Madame?"

Mrs. Wu hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said: "Although I don't know about the old man when he was young, I have seen him often write something in the study alone, and every time I go in, he will quickly put it away like a thief, I think...... Maybe those things can answer your questions. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi glanced at each other, and they both found an obvious look of surprise in each other's eyes!

"Then ask Madame for help to take that thing out. "Tatsu Yu Heavenly Dao.

Mrs. Wu shook her head slightly, and said, "I can't take it out, because I don't know where the things that the master wrote are, the only thing I know is that it should still be hidden in the master's study, and everything depends on the luck of the two." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi were both surprised!

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a helpless wry smile, which slowly emerged from their eyes......

"Two adults, please come with your concubine......"

After saying that, Mrs. Wu Lianbu moved lightly, and walked out of the flower hall first, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi looked at each other, and then followed.

In a moment, the three of them had already arrived at Wu Chengtian's study.

This is also the scene of the first headless murder!

"This is the deceased husband's study, please ...... two" Mrs. Wu directly opened the door of the study.

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi glanced at each other again, and then walked into the room.

This study is not large, only a quarter of the size of the flower hall in Fangcai, and the decoration is very simple, compared with the flower hall, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

Moreover, there are not many books in this study.

Although Chen Yutian came to this study for the first time, after all, this is the scene of Wu Chengtian's death, and there are already detailed records on the file, so he is no stranger to this place, and even on the contrary, there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He walked slightly through every corner of the study, carefully surveying the ground beneath his feet.

After all, it is a murder scene, and before the murder is solved, all actions should be taken with caution, so as not to destroy the integrity of the scene and ignore important clues.

"Madam, where are those things you are talking about?" Chen Yutian asked casually.

But he didn't get the slightest response!

The door of the study, with a "bang", suddenly closed!

"Bad ......"

Chen Yutian suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and before he could make a move, he saw Xuan Xi's complexion suddenly change, and he saw that all around the study, on all the windows, several black shadows suddenly descended, broke through the window paper, and shot directly into the study!

The two people in the study didn't have time to think about it, Chen Yutian waved the folding fan in his hand, and directly hit the several black shadows that attacked!

Xuan Xi is also whistling in the palm wind, accurately shooting at those black shadows!

It was at this time that they discovered that these black shadows were all iron projectiles.

"Bang ......"

A dull sound suddenly sounded, and a large cloud of smoke diffused from the exploding projectile, and in an instant, the entire study was enveloped.

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi's expressions changed drastically, because they found that among these smokes, there was actually a highly poisonous existence.

But it was already too late.

When the projectile exploded, the smoke had already penetrated deep into their bodies along their snorts, and even if they held their breath at this moment, it had no effect at all.
