Nan Ke didn't know what the good brother of Captain Zhou was thinking;

But Captain Zhou’s good brother’s wife was really too enthusiastic.

The expected ambush or other plot did not happen. Captain Zhou went in for a while, then came out and called Nan Ke again.

When Nan Ke stepped into this ordinary house, the Zhang woman had wiped the dining table, and two wooden chairs were arranged on both sides of the table. After Captain Zhou entered, he sat down on one of the wooden chairs and took off his hat.

Nan Ke walked in and sat on another wooden chair. After a while, the woman Zhang came from the kitchen, held a pot and two bowls in her hand, put one on one side, and poured tea.

This house is very ordinary, and the Zhang woman is also dressed up by ordinary women. Therefore, this pot of tea is naturally ordinary tea leaves, but when she looks at the Zhang woman standing next to her, she looks at the tea.

Nan Ke suddenly felt something was wrong. He didn't think that the Zhang woman had a private possession, but that the woman seemed to be too eager to treat both of them.

He subconsciously glanced at Captain Zhou and glanced at the Zhang woman. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Nan Ke pursed his lips and suddenly felt that the atmosphere became a little subtle.

In fact, Nan Ke didn't know much about Captain Zhou, that is, he knew that he was staying in the capital as a captain, and his family was very clean, so he should be the most ordinary family. As for other information, such as whether Captain Zhou was married or whether his parents were alive, he didn't know anything about it.

Now it seems that in addition to some work skills this week, the captain should have potential that he has not discovered in other aspects.

Finally, Captain Zhou broke the silence.

"When will your brother come?"

The Zhang woman laughed again when she heard this, looked up at the sunlight outside the window, "It should be soon, it's soon..."

Before he could finish his words, footsteps were heard outside.

A man in his thirties and wearing a blue short shirt walked in from outside. His face looked similar to that of the Zhang woman, but his physique was a little shorter, only a little taller than the Zhang woman.

"sister."

The man subconsciously shouted when he entered the door, then glanced inside, and paused when he saw Nan Ke. When he landed on Captain Zhou, he immediately said in surprise:

"Brother Zhou!"

Captain Zhou was stunned for a moment. He had some impression of the man in front of him. The man was named Chen Jia. He injured someone after a fight a few years ago. He came forward to help mediate and exempted the punishment.

"Um."

Captain Zhou responded. Although Chen Jia didn't expect anything, since he had come, he asked directly:

"I heard you work in Deng's house?"

Chen Jia glanced at his sister, nodded when he saw him, and said, "Yes, I got into the Deng family two years ago. Yesterday, I heard from my sister that Brother Zhou asked me to help me pay attention to some things, so I was careful and asked around.

"What did you ask?"

Captain Zhou asked casually.

"The eldest son rarely goes out in the past two or three days." Chen Jia is a servant of the Deng family, and the 'big son' he said is the eldest son Deng.

"Well, this is normal," Captain Zhou nodded.

If the eldest son of the Deng family is a little worried, he will not dare to go out at will. First, the news is too loud outside, and second, Nan Ke and Captain Zhou are still missing, so Captain Zhou is not afraid.

But for Nan Ke, a madman who dares to directly kill the officials in the city, he cannot be afraid of him.

After Chen Jia said that, he looked at his sister again. After all, he was so eager to inquire about the news and rushed over so quickly, all for his sister.

A few years ago, Captain Zhou did help him, but that matter is small, and it is not a big deal. Besides, it has been so many years, even if you are grateful, most of it has long since dispersed.

Now he relies on the Deng family to live, one is old and the other is now raised. If his sister had not given instructions for a long time, he would not have been willing to come and take this muddy water.

Captain Zhou didn't care much about whether Chen Jianen could find out anything, but the Zhang woman had been looking forward to it for a long time. She had been standing by her side without saying anything just to wait for her younger brother.

Now seeing Chen Jia say something and disappear afterwards, he immediately walked over and pinched Chen Jia's arm, "What's going on? You want to inquire about the news and inquire about it all night, just like that?"

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts!"

Chen Jia gasped and tried hard to break it apart before he spread the hand of Zhang's woman, rubbed her arm and said:

"Although the Deng family has many servants, there are many errands. How can anyone have time to stare at the master all day long? If this is discovered, it will be thrown out by someone?"

After saying that, Chen Jia looked up and smiled at Captain Zhou. After all, he was the captain of the city. Although he was missing now, for those servants, he was still a character after all. So he continued:

"Brother Zhou, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really..."

"There is really nothing strange?" The Zhang woman interrupted again.

"Hiss!" Chen Jia raised his hand and clenched his head, squinted his eyes and thought hard, "The eldest son is not really weird except for going out less..."

"Then why did he stay at home all day?" asked the Zhang woman.

"What are you doing?" Chen Jia pursed her lips, glanced at her sister, and grinned, "What else can those rich young men do? You can't go out to drink wine. Of course, you can only find a woman from outside to come back."

Gossip is human nature. Although as servants, they should not inquire about the private lives of their masters, they are all people with ears and mouths. Even if you don’t inquire, you can still listen to something vaguely.

The servants dare not speak out about the kind of thing that sells the interests of the owner, but the kind of gossip of the owner, especially the gossip of the young master, is really no taboo.

woman?

Nan Ke, who was wandering beside him, came to his senses and looked at Captain Zhou, and happened to see the other party looking at him.

‘Ask.’

Nan Keebe had a mouth shape. In such an occasion, it was more appropriate for Captain Zhou to ask questions than to speak by himself.

Captain Zhou nodded slightly, turned around to face Chen Jia and said:

"What kind of woman?"

Before, he had an unnecessary thought, but now he heard the keywords and Captain Zhou immediately took it seriously.

"What kind of woman can you be?"

Chen Jia showed an expression of "every man knows" on her face, and she was embarrassed to say it too straightforwardly.

"Tell me carefully." Captain Zhou leaned forward and leaned forward.

When the woman of Zhang saw Captain Zhou's serious expression, she immediately coughed twice and covered her mouth, "Oh, I got cold after the blowing wind last night. I'll go outside to bask in the sun and warm it up. You talk, you talk."

As he said that, the Zhang woman instructed Chen Jia again: "Say whatever you have and tell me clearly what you know. What does that woman look like, name, and height, short, fat and thin!"

“…”

Chen Jia shrugged her face, and when the Zhang woman went out, she breathed a sigh of relief. She loosened her whole body and didn't pull the bench. She just leaned against the wall and found a clean piece of land to sit.

"Brother Zhou, look at my sister. She has been married for so many years and looks like a yaksha. My brother-in-law has suffered over the years."

Chen Jia sighed and used his fingers to snatch his chin.

"I just heard a few words about that woman. I never came out after entering the eldest son's house. I am a servant. How could I know if the eldest son's woman looks good and has a plump figure?"

Captain Zhou stood up, walked to Chen Jia, squatted down, and looked down condescendingly.

"..." The smile on Chen Jia's face stuttered.

Although Captain Zhou is not a big shot, he is still a constable. He has done a lot of trials over the years, and he has accumulated some momentum.

Perhaps it is useless to be lazy like Nan Ke, but for a serious ordinary person like Chen Jia, Captain Zhou is so stern, and Chen Jia really dares not use the words to make excuses with a smile.

"Tell me, what's going on with that woman?" Captain Zhou asked.

Chen Jia swallowed, "I, I've heard a few words."

"Say as much as you know." Captain Zhou knocked on the ground.

"Just last night, a person who was familiar with me was in charge of managing meals and talked to me about it, saying that although the eldest son would go to the master's wife to have lunch at noon and evening, he would always specifically ask the kitchen to send a copy into his yard.

Last night, the kitchen was a little busy, so he delivered the meal to the eldest son's yard by himself. It seemed that he saw a woman from the crack in the door. She was very handsome and probably not from the Deng family."

Captain Zhou's eyes lit up and continued to ask, "Would that person tell you anything else?"

“What else can there be?”

"For example, when did that woman come into the Deng family, but she also saw a baby?"

"Baby?" Chen Jia was stunned and said in surprise: "Can the eldest son have an illegitimate child outside?"

"Yes, or not!" Captain Zhou growled.

Chen Jia shrank his neck, "It should be, it shouldn't be."

Captain Zhou frowned and asked again: "When did you start delivering food?"

Chen Jia thought about it again and replied: "It seems to be two days ago?"

Captain Zhou nodded and sat back in his previous position with a calm face.

Seeing this, Chen Jia stood up from the ground and bowed, saying, "Brother Zhou, I have to rush to work in the Deng family. If I have nothing else to ask, I will leave first?"

"Go."

Captain Zhou waved his hand, but he didn't stop him. A servant of Deng had already given him enough surprise. If he forced himself to stay and ask, he shouldn't be able to ask any questions.

Taking advantage of Chen Jia's absence and the Zhang woman had not yet come in, Captain Zhou looked at Nan Ke and said:

"That woman, I think she is probably the concubine of the head of the Li family."

Nan Ke tapped the table with his fingers twice and said, "It should be a big difference in time, but I really didn't expect that he was so brave!"

Such a key witness dared to keep a living, and stayed by his side. Isn’t this afraid of being stabbed to death by someone with a knife?

Captain Zhou cleared his throat and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there have been rumors about the old man of the Deng family."
