One hundred and seventy seventh record: flexion and extension
Not long after Zhao Chonghuan saw Ge'er off, he had just sat in the pavilion in front of Changfeng Pavilion for a while when he saw Atao leading a group of people coming from a distance.
Walking in front of Atao was a slender middle-aged man in ultramarine trousers, leading six young men and maids, each carrying exquisite food boxes, and followed by four black-armored guards.
, quite the momentum of Pingzhang Mansion.
Atao, with a fawning smile on his face, nodded and followed the man, saying some funny words as he walked, but the middle-aged man just had no expression on his face, raised his head high, and walked quickly towards Changfeng Pavilion.
.
Zhao Chonghuan saw clearly the person approaching slowly. He had light eyebrows and narrow eyes, wrinkles between his eyebrows, drooped mouth corners, shrewd face, sinister eyes, arrogant look, and the aura of walking like a person with real power in Jipingzhang Mansion.
.
She looked back at Xie Changhuai on the side with slight surprise. The latter smiled at her and said in a low voice: "This person is the housekeeper of Pingzhang Mansion, his surname is Liu. If Pingzhang is said to have power over everything, then this person is Quan Qingping."
Zhang Fu! He can be considered a figure in the entire Lin'an Mansion!"
"It is said that the brother of a beautiful concubine in the Jia family was suspected of being a thief, and it was he who ordered the brother to be burned to death!"
Zhao Chonghuan had heard this terrible story, and her eyes turned cold. It turned out that this person was still a ruthless person.
But then she thought: "It seems that nothing in Pingzhang Mansion can escape the eyes of Butler Liu!"
Xie Changhuai nodded: "Perhaps there are some secret things in this mansion, and he knows better than Master Pingzhang! However," he raised the corners of his eyes, "it's probably not easy to ask him something!"
Zhao Chonghuan's distant eyebrows were raised slightly, his eyes flashed with intelligence, and he said in a low voice: "If this case really requires his confession, it won't be difficult for me. I have plenty of means for this kind of thing!"
Xie Changhuai smiled.
In fact, he had known about her past for a long time, but he was very happy to see her looking so confident and calm.
His girl is not a boudoir who is as weak as a willow branch and as delicate as a peach blossom, but someone who is as good as him!
"Be careful not to use your inner strength rashly!" he warned earnestly.
She nodded.
While the two of them were whispering, Butler Liu had already led a group of people up to them.
Atao cleverly rushed out first and saluted: "Young Master Changhuai, Master Xiao Chai, this is our Butler Liu of the Jia Mansion!"
Zhao Chonghuan stood up politely.
Li Sicheng and the others, who had heard about this person, also stopped what they were doing with some caution.
Although it was Jia Pingzhang who sent people to report the case, they did not have the opportunity to meet Lord Pingzhang in person. Now that a famous person was in front of Lord Pingzhang, they inevitably had to be careful.
Butler Liu's eyes did not fall on anyone else. He only bowed and saluted Xie Changhuai, who was sitting still. "I heard that Mr. Changhuai is also here, so I specially prepared some food and tea for him."
!" As he said this, he motioned to the waiters to bring the food boxes one by one.
Soon, the stone table in the pavilion was filled with all kinds of pastries and food, which looked unique and exquisite, not inferior to the precious products of Chunfeng Tower.
Zhao Chonghuan inexplicably thought of Liang Xifan and his mother, the number one chef in Pingzhang Mansion. Just looking at the appearance of these snacks, he knew that he would not be able to make it into the academic committee of the Pingzhang Mansion without any real talent as a chef.
Seeing the servants setting out the food, Butler Liu waved his hand and the servants quickly retreated, showing the qualities of a Pingzhang Mansion servant.
"My husband is extremely angry when something like this happens in our house. We need everyone to work together to find the murderer as soon as possible and restore peace to our Jia family!"
Xie Changhuai's eyebrows were warm, and he smiled lightly and said: "Steward Liu, how polite you are! Xie is just a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment now. Today, he is just learning and observing with Master Siqing. It is not Xie's turn to intervene in the case. He has to rely on He Siqing for this matter.
With the great efforts of Li Sicheng and others! When the real culprit is apprehended and sentenced to death, Xie can contribute a little!" He moved a lot of weight, looking humble like a young man.
Zhao Chonghuan glanced at Li Sicheng with some sympathy.
Li Sicheng was called by name and quickly saluted.
Butler Liu glanced at the other party lightly and said, "However, my Pingzhang Mansion is no better than other small households. You must be careful when investigating the case and don't offend the nobles in the house!"
Zhao Chonghuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
"As for the arrest of the murderer, everyone must have real evidence. Don't arrest random people to make money in order to close the case as soon as possible to please the old husband. If you anger the old husband, the consequences are not something that your little Dali Temple can bear!"
When Butler Liu said these words, his brows were raised and his lines were sparse. His face was respectful, but his words were arrogant, and he didn't care about the reputation of the people in Dali Temple at all.
Although Li Sicheng and others were threatened, they could only return the favor respectfully.
For a humble person, being able to stretch and bend is a necessary skill.
"Tonight we are going to hold an incense banquet. Please pack up before lunch. These guards will take you out of the house! You only have an hour and a half!
Well, even the time and the monitor have been kept!
After the demonstration, Butler Liu saluted Xie Changhuai and led a group of people away again.
The people in Dali Temple looked at each other in shock. They dared not speak out in anger, but they could only speed up the process of collecting evidence.
Li Sicheng suddenly ran to Zhao Chonghuan, a little embarrassed: "Brother Zhao, you also know that we have not made any breakthroughs in our investigation. It is too urgent to leave at noon! Since you were personally invited by Jia Yanei, if you find anything, can you
Is it also connected to Dali Temple?"
Zhao Chonghuan nodded: "That's natural! As for other circumstances of the deceased..."
"Of course, of course, I will let you know if I find anything else!" Li Sicheng immediately understood.
Later, when everyone was faced with a table of exquisite snacks, they didn't have much appetite. They just ate some cakes and drank a cup of tea, and then they all hurried to work.
Zhao Chonghuan ate a lot from being stared at by Xie Changhuai. She felt that she was being treated more politely by her own Five Zang Temple today.
While they were having refreshments, He Yansou came to the Qili Lotus Pond with a few members of his staff. His expression was also not good, and he thought he was not treated well by Lord Pingzhang.
As soon as he entered the pavilion, he sat down anxiously with some frustration.
"Master He, why are you like this?" Xie Changhuai asked in a low voice.
He Yansou raised his head and looked at the four guards standing outside the pavilion. His expression flickered, but he still couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Master Pingzhang has given Dali Temple seven days to solve the case! Moreover, I don't know what happened. The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.
Someone actually dared to break into Jia’s quiet room!"
"No wonder their guards couldn't see it for a while!" Xie Changhuai nodded lightly.
"The person who broke into the quiet room is a master, and he comes and goes without a trace!" He Yansou shook his head angrily, "But he even got us under surveillance!"
"That's it!" Xie Changhuai suddenly realized, "Butler Liu's attitude just now was not very good!"
"Alas!" He Yansou sighed, "It takes seven days to solve the case, and the Jia Mansion is only allowed to search for two hours a day. Master Pingzhang is going to force me to death in Dali Temple!"
Xie Changhuai raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at Zhao Chonghuan and said in a low voice: "Master He can cooperate with Zhao Xiaochai. After all, she was privately invited by Jia Yanei, and she is not a person from Dali Temple!"
Chapter completed!
