This morning, although it was very ordinary, a lot of things happened.
Xiao Si from Xu Mansion, who was blocked by Zhang Xuan and Bai An, was let go by the two of them that night.
But perhaps no one expected that someone noticed that the boy was missing, so he told Xu Ziyu.
However, when Xu Ziyu entered the study early in the morning, he saw the boy sleeping under the clothes rack behind the door.
Next door to the study is the bathing area, so it is normal to have a clothes rack.
The boy curled up into a small ball, huddled in his clothes. If the clothes hadn't swayed in the wind when he opened the door, he wouldn't have been able to tell that there was a person hiding in the clothes rack.
"this……"
The personal servant following Xu Ziyu also saw it and was surprised.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you drag this lazy guy out quickly?" Xu Ziyu glared at him.
"Yes, yes," the slave responded, dragged the man out and threw him against the wall.
"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on you." The young boy was confused by being dragged down. Although the fall was very painful, when he saw Xu Ziyu, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xu Ziyu pulled up a stool and sat there. When he saw that the table was very messy and had not been cleaned up, he said: "You are a dog slave. If you don't work, you just know how to be lazy. Go ahead and take him out and beat him to death."
"Yes, sir."
The servant didn't even have time to beg for mercy before he was gagged and dragged out by the servant.
Xu Ziyu was irritated as he corrected things on the table. Hearing the muffled sound of wooden boards hitting the human body outside the window, he felt a little pleasure.
The movements in his hands were much faster, and I don't know when, two people came in.
At first glance, one was the minion who was following Xu Ziyu just now, and wasn't the other the sharp-tongued little man who just walked around from Tan Sihan?
"My lord, my servant Lanzi has come to speak." The little man said as soon as he came in.
"Sir, the one outside has been beaten to death."
The slave also followed suit.
"Well, clean yourself up and don't let anyone get away with it. Throw it in a mass grave. Go now. You can give the order."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing the slave go out, Xu Ziyu put down the brush in his hand, looked at the little man and said, "Master Tan, take those two girls."
"My lord, I have already accepted it. It's just..." The little man didn't dare to say anything. After all, what he did just now wasn't very good.
"It's just nothing. You won't offend Mr. Tan, right? Mr. Zhou has repeatedly emphasized that Mr. Tan can't afford to offend him."
Xu Ziyu stared at the little man and said seriously, with a cautious look on his face.
"No, sir, it's just that Tan doesn't seem willing to accept it." The little man didn't dare to say much, so he just made an estimate.
"I'm not happy to accept it, so I have to accept it? It's just for show." Xu Ziyu said nonchalantly.
In his image, young masters from wealthy families are all very honorable, and they have to take advantage of them. What's more, this one is a nobleman from the Tian family.
"My lord, that's what you said. But, lord, if those two girls offend Mr. Qin and don't take them away quickly..., if Mr. Qin is really unwilling to take them, then..." The little man still wanted to get vaccinated.
"Don't worry, I have prepared it for you early in the morning. It is just for these noble families."
Speaking of this, Xu Ziyu felt even more relieved.
When he was doing something like this, he would naturally train someone like Girl Hei in advance, but he didn't know who to give it to from the beginning, but he also knew that it was impossible to miss someone with a high status, so he must have trained some people in advance.
.
"Then there's nothing to worry about. Sir, please feel at ease." The little man said.
Xu Ziyu waved his hand, and the little man retreated.
The boy's body was soon dumped in a mass grave. The person who dumped the body saw two men and a woman walking over from a distance. He dropped the body and went back the way he came.
The three people walked over and were stunned when they saw the blood-covered corpses that had been casually dumped next to the mass grave.
"Master, this..." Fang Wu said.
Yes, these two men and one woman are none other than Ji Xuan, Fang Wu and Zhang Xuan who returned from Zuitao Village.
The tattered coarse cloth clothes on the corpse had been scratched with a knife so that no good spot could be seen, and the blood on the buttocks and thighs had dried up.
There is no brand embedded in the ankle, indicating that the body has nothing to do with the government.
"Let's take a look." Ji Xuan sighed, stepped forward and turned the body over with his sleeves, facing up to the sky.
However, this time, everyone naturally saw that face.
"This, this isn't..." Zhang Xuan started to speak, but he didn't finish his words, but it was already self-evident. Wasn't he the young boy from the Xu Mansion whom they had blocked in the alley before?
"He was beaten to death about half an hour ago. The knife on his back was from death. It should be to cover up the word "slave", but I don't know why he was beaten to death like this." Ji Xuan sighed and put on his clothes.
They removed it bit by bit and then inspected the body.
"For the rest, we can only go back and continue the autopsy. Let's find two government officials to take them back." Ji Xuan said with some concern when seeing Zhang Xuan.
How do you know that it is not the crime of having a jade?
"Well, I have to find his slave status before his face is ruined." Zhang Xuan said somewhat uncomfortably.
With that said, he strode away.
Ji Xuan said: "Let's go. There are guards under the city gate. Let's borrow two."
"Okay," Fang Wu responded.
The atmosphere was a bit strange, but no one said anything. After all, the cause of death could be preliminarily determined, but they still didn't know why they were beaten to death...
When the two of them entered the Yamen, they saw Zhang Xuan buried in the household registration office, rummaging through each document one by one. His forehead was so wrinkled that it could pinch a fly.
Although Zhang Xuan usually looks impatient when encountering a case, why doesn't he put in his money and effort and always focus on the evidence?
For him, this matter may actually be a bit concerning.
"What are Zhang Qizhi looking for?" Painter Bai and Bai An came in one after another, and Bai An said calmly.
"Looking for death." Zhang Xuan said casually.
Ji Xuan shook her head and pulled Bai An and Fang Wu into the morgue at the back.
On the way out, he gave Painter Bai a wink,
After the intricate footsteps, the only thing left in the room was Zhang Xuan himself and the faint sound of turning books...
But not long after, the sound of turning books was mixed with the sound of footsteps.
"Are you bothering me? I told you that I'm looking for death as a slave, don't you understand?" Zhang Xuan heard the footsteps and said without even raising his head.
"Master Zhang, what's going on? I didn't mess with you, right? Who's wrong? Let me accompany you." Bai Xi was stunned, then stepped forward and knelt down and said.
