Chapter 45: The Old Butler's Blessing
The old housekeeper's blessing was like a madness, looking up to the sky and shouting wildly, but it meant something word by word.
Shen Yi frowned, his eyes thoughtful, but he sat in the chair and had no intention of obstructing him.
Previously, the old housekeeper blessed and said that the Zhu family had no capable descendants, everyone understood that it was for Zhu Tianxiang, thinking that the Zhu family had always despised the two sons, and the old housekeeper was understandable that he was worried about his master's family, but then the old housekeeper kept saying that Zhu Tianwei died unexpectedly, and it seemed that the spearhead was directed at Bai Qingfeng.
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions were embarrassed, they didn't understand the reason, they wanted to come forward to speak and persuade them, but they didn't wish their families, they were afraid that it would be inappropriate, but if they didn't say it, they didn't know what to do with the old housekeeper looking for death and life.
The corners of Bai Qingfeng's eyes trembled, his lips were closed, and his complexion was even more ugly than Zhu Tianxiang. He endured and endured, and finally slapped the tea table hard, stood up, and shouted: "Shut up, what are you talking nonsense? ”
Everyone in the Zhu family knows that Bai Qingfeng has a close relationship with Zhu Tianwei, the owner of the old village, and has always regarded Bai Qingfeng as the owner. Now Zhu Tianwei and his wife are dead, Zhu Tianxiang is the new master, can not convince the public, the old housekeeper blessing has always been regarded as half of the master by the people below. Although Bai Qingfeng was furious and ordered to drag the blessing out, but all the family members, you look at me, I look at you, you want to move but it is inconvenient to move, you don't dare not move, the atmosphere is embarrassing for a while, and I don't know what to do.
The old housekeeper blessed Bai Qingfeng's drinking order, and even more tears, shouting to the sky: "Owner, you have a spirit in the sky, can you see and hear......? The old slave has long been bitterly persuaded him, let's wish the family a great cause and a deep foundation, as long as we do our duty, why can't we glorify our ancestors? Why do you just listen to slander and do those shady deeds, and in the end you give your life in vain, but what a good brother and good friend you are cheaper!"
Hearing this, Bai Qingfeng's face suddenly turned black with anger, his right palm was raised, and he slapped it heavily on the tea table next to the chair, only to hear a click, and the leg of the tea table made of solid wood was broken, and it had been broken into broken wood and scattered all over the ground.
Shen Yi looked at the broken wood chips on the ground, then at Bai Qingfeng, and thought: "This master of the white village seems to care about nothing on the surface, but he actually has such profound skills. ”
He originally came to deal with a big robbery case, and he has been in and out of this Rainy Fog Mountain for a few days, and he feels that the Rain Fog Mountain, which is as calm as a fairyland, really hides a lot of mysterious things.
Bai Qingfeng shattered the tea table with one palm, and everyone in the mourning hall changed their faces abruptly, frightened and uneasy, and even the crying old butler's blessing stopped their voices.
Bai Qingfeng withdrew his palm, his face became almost expressionless again, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Drag the blessing back to the room!"
A few young and strong family members did not dare to slack off, went up to pick up blessings, and helped him leave.
The old housekeeper blessed and did not resist, but when he passed by Shen Yi, he took a deep look, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated, closed his mouth again, turned his eyes away, and stared at Bai Qingfeng fiercely, as if he had seen an enemy for several lifetimes.
Although Bai Qingfeng was majestic and controlled the situation, he was not happy, and his eyes flickered. He didn't say goodbye to Shen Yi and the others, waved his sleeves, strode out of the mourning hall, and returned to the village alone.
Bai Xinyu's face changed greatly, he sat motionless in the chair, and muttered to himself, "What's wrong with the eldest brother?
She has suffered a series of accidents recently, although she has always been calm, but she can't help but panic, her eyes turned, looking at everyone, as if she wanted to ask for help and comfort, but she met Sheng Donglai's eyes, and saw that his eyes were full of care and affection, and her heart moved, although she added an inexplicable emotion, but she also settled down a little, but she pretended not to pay attention to her face, and still treated Sheng Donglai coldly and indifferently.
The old housekeeper Blessing does not live in the side courtyard with other servants, but lives next to Zhu Tianwei's study, which also shows his status in Zhujiazhuang. But why did such an old servant who was dedicated to Zhujiazhuang make a big fuss in the mourning hall during the day and say those inexplicable words to Zhu Tianwei's spiritual position?
Late at night, the whole Zhujiazhuang is quiet, shrouded in darkness, the rise and fall of this industry is also similar to the rise and fall of a person, who can predict the success or failure?
Shen Yi walked alone on the dark corridor, looking at the lush trees and flowers on the side of the road, as well as the pavilions and pavilions hidden in the night. All of this is silently scattered in all corners of the manor, some of which have existed for a hundred years, as if they are watching the rise and fall of this world with cold eyes, or just waiting for their demise without regrets, like a camellia tree by the porch, but a few days ago it was prosperous, but now it has decayed and withered, scattered in the mud.
He stopped suddenly, held the pillar with one hand, closed his eyes tightly, and before he could reach out to cover his mouth, he coughed repeatedly. Every cough. It all has a headache, and the pain seems to be cracking. He felt hot and weak, and it seemed that he had not eaten a good meal or drunk a glass of water all day. He was too busy, his body was busy, and his mind was even busier, so he didn't have time to eat, drink, rest, or pay attention to whether he was hungry and thirsty.
It took him a long time to calm down the chaotic internal force and stop coughing. He opened his eyes and walked on. Walking silently all the way, watching silently, his heart aroused infinite emotion and melancholy. Life is short, prosperous in an instant, like passing water in a blink of an eye, with the firmness of his will, the tenacity of his faith, thinking back to the ups and downs of the past ten years, he can't help but feel a little confused and confused.
The light in the old housekeeper's blessing room is still on, and he can be seen walking back and forth on the window.
Shen Yiqu tapped his fingers on the door a few times.
The figure walking around the window immediately stopped, as if the people inside were listening attentively, speculating about who would knock on the door.
Shen Yi knocked on the door twice more and said softly, "Old housekeeper, it's me, Shen Yi." ”
Even outside the door, you can clearly hear the people inside breathe a sigh of relief, and then the door opens, revealing the old butler's blessed dark face. There were more wrinkles on his face, although his complexion was not good, his spirit was calm, and he seemed to be the shrewd, capable and well-informed old man who greeted Shen Yi at the door, not the person who was sad and angry in the mourning hall during the day.
When he saw Shen Yi, he smiled, opened the door, took two steps back sideways, invited Shen Yi to enter the door, and said, "Shen Daxia, you can come, if you don't come again, I'm afraid it won't be too late." ”
"Why is it too late?Is someone threatening you?" Shen Yi looked around as he walked into the room, the room was simply furnished, and there was no one else except the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper didn't invite Shen Yi to sit down, grabbed two steps, knelt on his knees, grabbed the corner of Shen Yi's clothes, and said, "Shen Daxia, please be the master of the old slave." ”
Shen Yi stretched out his hand to pick him up and comforted: "If you have any grievances, just say it." ”
The old housekeeper stood up, looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "If the old slave heard correctly, Shen Daxia suddenly came to Zhujiazhuang, he must have come for another purpose, right?"
Shen Yi looked at his eyes that were proficient in the human world, and groaned slightly, he already understood. This old housekeeper's blessing is Zhu Tianwei's confidant, if Zhu Tianwei has any abnormal behavior, the people who can hide it from the whole village will not hide it from him.
Shen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I came here to verify it because I had some clues about the big robbery." ”
The blessing followed and asked, "Can the old slave ask Shen Daxia, where did he get the clue?"
Shen Yi said: "One of the clues is that it is said to be the abandoned servant of the Zhu family, who entrusted someone to sell jewelry, and was captured by the Nanjin County Ya, and found that the jewelry sold was the treasure of Li Fushen's family, which was destroyed three months ago. ”
The old housekeeper's eyes lit up, as if everything had been expected by him, and then asked: "Remember that on the day Shen Daxia came to the village, he once mentioned that this abandoned servant of the Zhu family was called Zhu Li?"
Shen Yi said: "But the owner of Zhu Zhuang didn't remember that the Zhu family had such a servant named Zhu Li.
The old housekeeper blessed and immediately said, "Shen Daxia has personally interrogated this Zhu Li?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Before Shen arrived at the Nanjin County Office, Zhu Li was killed in prison. ”
The blessing said, "How did you die?"
Shen Yi looked at him without blinking, and said slowly: "This Zhu Li died under the sword of a black-clothed killer the night before I arrived. He paused, and then continued: "It is said that this black-clothed killer is like a god, he is ruthless, kills with a sword, and comes and goes quickly. ”
