Chen Mufeng didn't expect that he would be able to feel pain without being injured when he hit someone. He walked slowly on the road and moved to a house for a while. Zhuang Rou was following him, not even helping him.

I met a few times on the way. Although they were curious, they did not dare to ask casually. They just bent down to greet him, shouted "Young Master Jiu" and were sent away.

This is where the two housekeepers and some servants with status live. Chen Mufeng walked to one of the courtyards and stopped, held the wall beside the door and said, "Sister Zhuang, I think I'd better go find you after I'm injured for a few days. This will drag you down too much."

"Puff, okay." Zhuang Rou laughed out loud. This guy's muscles didn't seem to be resistant to the beating.

He said a little embarrassedly: "This is Li Zhongxin's yard, and he should be in the yard now."

"Impossible. He asked me to go to the yamen in the afternoon. Now the city gate is closed and cannot be returned. There is no one inside, otherwise I wouldn't have come."

Chen Mufeng looked at her in surprise. Didn’t he come over to ask questions, but came over to search the house with someone on his back?

Zhuang Rou had no explanation at all, so she walked up and pushed the door open. When she heard the sound of the door, a little maid ran out of the small room near the door, "Butler Li, are you back?"

When she looked up, she found that a girl was coming in. She was stunned. Seeing that Master Jiu was holding him at the door, she quickly made a blessing, "Master Jiu, Butler Li hasn't come back yet."

"You're not up to you, go back to your room to rest. I'll wait for him in the house." Chen Mufeng sent her away with a word.

The little maid looked at him curiously, and nodded inexplicably, but she still obediently. She returned to her hut, but was very curious about what the young master brought a girl here tonight.

Zhuang Rou walked like a cat, silently came to the main house, and pushed the door open with his hand. This was very safe in the Shangshu Mansion. There was a maid in the yard watching it, and the important things were locked by themselves, so the door was generally not locked except for sleeping.

She lit the light when she entered the room. Chen Mufeng walked in slowly. He immediately gritted his teeth and ran to the inner room quickly. He lay on the bed, and suddenly let out a painful and comfortable hum, "It's so sour, I want to apply medicinal wine."

"When I leave later, you can find a few servants to carry them back and wipe them." Zhuang Rou had no sympathy at all, and raised the candlestick to look around Li Zhongxin's house.

In an ordinary suite, there is a bed, cabinet, a screen and a toilet in the inner room. There is more furniture in the outer room, but there is an ordinary table, chairs, and benches. There is a desk with a lot of books on the shelf next to it. It looks like a person who loves reading.

She walked to the desk and flipped it casually, and found that the books he read were very complicated, but there were many names, biographies and historical books. No wonder she felt very elegant.

After taking a few casual glances, Zhuang Rou set up the candlesticks and started rummaging through the boxes. She didn't know what to look for, but she looked for it first, and asked while looking for it: "Jiu Young Master, how did Li Zhongxin come to the mansion?"

Chen Mufeng lay comfortably on Li Zhongxin's bed and replied casually: "What else can I do? It's sent by human teeth. I heard that my family was sold for food because of disaster. I was only seven years old when I came."

"Wait, he was only seven years old when he entered the mansion, but he was your book boy. How old are you now?" Zhuang Rou suddenly stopped and looked at him in confusion. Li Zhongxin is in his thirties, can he still be a book boy for him?

"I am seventeen this year. Li Zhongxin is indeed my book boy. That's because he asked my father for me when I was five years old. At that time, he was my father's follower and had a good job. He said he wanted to study, so he asked for a long time. Seeing that he was so kind, my father was so kind, although he was a little older, he could serve me, so he arranged for me to be a book boy." Chen Mufeng quickly explained to himself that although he was tall and big, he was also a handsome young man and did not want to be said to be old.

Zhuang Rou didn't find anything in the wardrobe, so she came to the bedside in the inner room. There were cabinets on the bed, which were specially used to store valuable and valuable things. No matter how powerful a person stealing things was, as long as he couldn't unlock the lock, he wouldn't be able to carry the entire bed away.

She opened the two drawers beside the bed and looked at them. There were some broken silver and copper coins inside, and some handkerchiefs and purses and other things that the girl gave her. It didn't seem like a big deal and the chain didn't even come on.

Zhuang Rou looked up into the bed and found that there were two small drawers at the head of the bed inside, which were locked. There were also such small drawers at the head of her own bed at home, but there was no valuable stuff in it. One put some money on his usual monthly money, and the other one puts candy and snacks, so she could grab them when she was bored in the bed.

So she stepped onto the bed, stepped over Chen Mufeng, who was squatting there, and carefully looked at the two small locks.

Chen Mufeng snorted a few times, turned over hard, looked at her and said, "If the lock is broken, he will be discovered when he comes back. What should you do?"

Zhuang Rou glanced at him and smiled and said, "Learn to learn."

Then she took out a flat and wide ear-clearing spoon from her waist, fumbled it for a while, and pulled out a small hook. In Chen Mufeng's surprised gaze, she put the ear-clearing hook into the lock's mouth and tamped it.

After a while, the lock sounded softly and was opened.

"Wow, Sister Zhuang, you can still unlock the lock!" A young master like Chen Mufeng had never seen such despicable methods. He was so fussy that he stared at the ear-clearing spoon and wanted to take it over and see it.

Zhuang Rou said disapprovingly: "It's not a powerful method. In fact, it can be opened with branches, but it's just a bit troublesome. In the past few days, I went to find the roots to facilitate the case. It's indeed much more convenient."

Chen Mufeng looked at the drawer and was happily flipping through her and asked in confusion: "Why do you have to learn to unlock the lock if you solve the case? Isn't it just a matter of being honest and honest?"

"Don't worry, when others are ready, what else do you want to check? Besides, if you check the wrong person and search for other people's things and can't find evidence, how do you explain to others? People in trouble will not drag you to the person who is in trouble for a long time." Zhuang Rou said speechlessly. If he hadn't seen that he had muscles, he could use it as a shield in the future. I really don't want such a dull young master to be a follower.

Seeing contempt in her eyes, Chen Mufeng said embarrassedly: "I haven't seen this before, just learn more in the future."

Zhuang Rou continued to flip through the drawer and whispered: "Look more and learn more in the future, and say less nonsense."

There are so many valuable things in this drawer. She found a shop deed. It was not a good place to look at the location and size, but it was already a great thing to have a small shop in any part of the capital.

In addition, there is a land deed inside, with a considerable amount of land on it. There are two house deeds left. The house in the capital is smaller, and the other one is larger but in a small place.

There are four silver ingots of fifty taels, plus some gold and silver such as gold and silver. When you look at the golden ingots, you will know that they should be rewarded by people from the Shangshu Mansion.

Zhuang Rou put the drawer back and pulled out another one. There were more patterns here, including a stack of small bills with a denomination of ten taels, which looked almost two hundred taels. There were also more than ten jade pendants and gold and silver jewelry. Although they were not particularly expensive, they could see that the workmanship was exquisite, and they should have been rewarded or obtained from others.

She turned around and looked at Chen Mufeng, who knew nothing, just stared at her, who was learning to solve the case, but seemed to prevent her from stealing, "How much does your mansion pay him in a month?"

Chen Mufeng looked at her blankly. He knew how much a second housekeeper would pay, but he was his own person. He stuttered and said, "It's probably about a hundred and twenty."

Seeing him say about 100 taels, Zhuang Rou knew that this guy didn't know. She had heard those ladies say this before. For example, the ladies' family, which was lower than the Shangshu, had only seven or eight taels of monthly money, and ten taels of 10 taels were already very rich and favored. The maid could only pay one or two taels of silver a month, and it was a family with more real power.

For the butler, there is about one or two hundred taels a year, and the butler should be more, and it should not exceed five hundred taels.

The second housekeeper is not like the big housekeeper. He has the power to manage the entire mansion and can buy it to make a living. The things found from this drawer are worth tens of thousands of taels, mainly fields and real estate.

Zhuang Rou pushed the drawer back, poked Chen Mufeng's chest with her finger and taught a lesson: "If your family gives the second housekeeper a hundred taels of silver a month, how much money will your father have to be greedy for you to support the young masters and ladies. Look at the material of your clothes and the jade pendant on your body, I realized that you are wearing two such thick gold bracelets. If you add a golden pig to hang it on your chest, isn't this a shackle?"

Chen Mufeng's chest was already hit by her, and she was so painful that she could not help but scream, "Sister Zhuang, don't do it, I can't stand it!"

"I'll give you two days to find out who sold him in. I can't miss anything you do. Even who his woman has, you have to find out what you like to eat. Of course, you have to not expose yourself. This is your first time handling a case, don't mess it up." Zhuang Rou lowered her head and stared at him and said, "If you don't be serious, who knows what stupid things will happen to this young master.

"It's so troublesome, I understand." Chen Mufeng didn't expect that handling the case would be so troublesome, but it sounds very interesting.

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open, and a woman rushed in with a shout, "Okay, Li Zhongxin, I dare to bring my little hoof back while I went to the next door for tea!"

The woman was in her twenties, wearing heavy makeup and gold flowers, and came in panting and was about to curse, but when she saw that the man was lying on the bed was not a lover of Li Zhongxin, but the Ninth Master, and then took a breath and stood in the room in a daze.

"Jiu...Jiu Young Master." She didn't expect that she would come back from the next door and see the lights in the room. It sounded like a man and a woman's voice, but she couldn't hear clearly what she said. She thought that Li Zhongxin brought someone back, but she didn't expect that she would actually encounter Mr. Jiu's affair.

Chen Mufeng didn't remember who this woman was. Anyway, it must be related to Li Zhongxin, so that was the servant in the family. His face suddenly became cold and he said, "Get out, if you dare to tell me what happened today, I will sell you!"

The woman responded in panic and ran out quickly. She fell in the yard and struggled to run away.

"My innocence..." Chen Mufeng looked at the door, not thinking that this matter could be hidden. It would definitely spread among the servants, and it would not be heard long before it would reach his mother's ears.

"Sister Zhuang, what should I do?" He hurriedly turned to ask Zhuang Rou what to do about this matter, but saw that she was locking the drawer as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Suotou was the same as before, Zhuang Rou turned around, but saw Chen Mufeng looking at him with a look of sucking shit on his face, and said in confusion, "Isn't this normal for the young master and the maid to have a private meeting in the housekeeper's room? Is there anything to worry about? I don't see how old you are. You can get married at 17. Your mother will be very happy, don't worry."

Chen Mufeng looked at her in a daze. This is normal, but she doesn’t want her reputation?

At this time, Zhuang Rou thought for a while and said, "But don't let my brother know, otherwise you will just wait for death."

"What!" Chen Mufeng opened his eyes wide. My brother-in-law is too fierce!
