Chapter 415 - Busy again
When Chi Zhongtian came in, War Eagle had just finished eating. When he looked up and saw Chi Zhongtian, he put down his bowl and said, "Young Master."
Chi Zhongtian took a look and said with a smile: "Why are you hiding in the house and eating by yourself? There must be something good that you want to enjoy to yourself."
War Eagle chuckled and said, "There's nothing delicious, just ordinary stuff. Don't tell me, the cook in this villa is pretty good at it!"
Chi Zhongtian said: "Look what you said, it's good. I invited it from the Marquis' Mansion."
"Haha, let's put it this way, we are enjoying the courtesy of the Marquis."
The two chatted casually for a while, and Chi Zhongtian said: "Manager, I think something is wrong."
After hearing this, War Eagle put down the bowl, went to the door to look, and then came back and said, "Don't talk yet, I'm just going to talk to you."
"Oh? Do you think something is wrong?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
War Eagle said: "There may be a traitor in your villa."
Hearing this, Chi Zhongtian clapped his hands and said, "Yes! I think so too!"
"Think about it, we held a banquet and invited some people. Why did Broken Water come early and late, just when Marquis Chengqi and Magistrate Hu were both there? Shuangxue ran out angrily, then
The place is so desolate, even the frost and snow are there unintentionally, so why did the water break appear so coincidentally?"
At this time, Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked: "You also know that the water is cut off?"
War Eagle smiled mysteriously, and then said: "I had guessed it a long time ago. When I saw that Shuangxue was hit by a sword in the back, I thought that the water was cut off."
"He is the manager after all! His brain is very useful!" Chi Zhongtian said with a thumbs up.
War Eagle waved his hands and said: "I'm thinking, you have to think of a way. There must be someone in this villa who is in constant contact with Duanshui, so she can know every move we make."
After War Eagle finished speaking, Chi Zhongtian nodded, and then said: "I thought so too, so I came here to tell you that you will stay in the villa for the past few days while I go out to do something."
War Eagle said: "You can go ahead and rest assured in the villa."
"I won't talk to Shuangxue. I asked Ziyu and Wu Yang to guard her. When she wakes up, go and tell her." After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he left the house.
After leaving the house, Chi Zhongtian thought for a while, then came to the study and called Uncle Liu.
After Uncle Liu arrived, Chi Zhongtian didn't say much and asked directly: "Uncle Liu, who among the people in our house often goes out?"
Uncle Liu thought for a while and then said: "The ones who go out often are me and two people who are responsible for purchasing."
"Where are the others?"
"Other people don't go out very much, because there are more and more people in the house now, and they are very busy every day. Our current handymen are not enough. I am planning to talk to you about hiring some more servants.
Yeah." Uncle Liu said with a smile.
Chi Zhongtian waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this for now. The people you just mentioned who go shopping, where do they usually go?"
"I usually go to Shezhou City, and sometimes I also go to nearby villages, because it's cheaper to buy some vegetables directly from farmers," Liu Bo said.
"In this case, you go and call the two buyers and tell them that I have something to do with them," Chi Zhongtian said.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll call them."
Soon, two people in charge of purchasing came in.
Chi Zhongtian was no stranger to these two people. He had seen their faces but didn't know their names.
These two people had never spoken to Chi Zhongtian before, and they were a little nervous for a while.
Chi Zhongtian sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you for a few words. I haven't spoken to you for such a long time."
The two men smiled and said nothing.
"What are your names?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
At this time, one of the thin men said: "Reporting to the young master, the little one is called Shitou. My mother said that the day she gave birth to me, she stepped on a stone when she went out, so she called me Shitou."
Chi Zhongtian smiled and nodded: "What about you?"
"Sir, the younger one's name is Sun Wu. I have four older brothers, and I am the youngest." The other elder, who was slightly fatter, said.
"Where do you two usually go shopping?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
Shitou said: "I usually go to nearby villages to buy some fresh vegetables. I rarely go to the city."
Sun Wuze said: "When I usually go to the city, I mainly buy wine and meat. Occasionally, I also bring some daily necessities."
"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Go ahead and talk to you another day." After saying that, Chi Zhongtian sent them away.
After the two people left, Chi Zhongtian changed his clothes and slipped out quietly.
Two hours later, there were gradually fewer pedestrians on the street, and Chi Zhongtian quietly walked out from the back door of Chengqi Hou Mansion.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, Chi Zhongtian returned to the villa, called all the servants together, and then said: "Everyone, I will have a few banquets in a few days, and it will be very grand. I have asked the young lady to go to Jixi.
The village is collecting wild fruits, so you should hurry up and prepare. Sun Wu and Shitou, you go to Uncle Liu immediately, send some more silver coins, and buy some good things in the city. In addition, I will go to the Huilan Restaurant in the city.
I have already said hello to Shopkeeper Liu there and asked him to get me some jars of good wine. However, the journey is a bit far and it will take a while to deliver it. After you two go there, live there directly. I told Shopkeeper Liu
Okay, as soon as the wine arrives, you will send it back as soon as possible and put it in the wine cellar, do you understand?"
Sun Wu and Shitou hurriedly said: "Sir, we have all written it down."
"The rest of you, hurry up and clean up the villa. Wipe down what needs to be wiped clean. I see that the paint has fallen off in some places, so I have to patch them up. If anyone fails to do a good job, I will be embarrassed. I will
Angry! Do you understand?"
Chi Zhongtian's majestic tone made all the servants a little scared. They had the impression that Chi Zhongtian was usually very kind, so why was it so different today.
After making arrangements, Chi Zhongtian left the villa without knowing where he went.
On the second day, everyone started to get busy.
War Eagle stood in the middle of the yard, constantly arranging here and there. According to Chi Zhongtian's request, he bought a few more buckets of red paint and repainted many places.
Ao Shuangxue was still resting in bed. Although the sword wound on her back was not fatal, it was still a nuisance. Because she was afraid of back pain, Ao Shuangxue could only sleep on her side or lying on her stomach. After a night, she seemed to be incapable of sleeping.
