Walking out of the cottage, Lin Jingzhi turned around, carefully closed the door, and nodded at Aunt Yu who was standing outside the door. They walked into the wing room next to them, one in front and one behind.
Before entering the room, he waved his hand and signaled the maid behind him not to follow in.
In the wing room, there was an old man in his fifties, wearing blue clothes, sitting upright on a chair. When he saw the two of them coming in, he quickly stood up and took two steps forward, and knelt on the ground with a thump, "Old Nu Chai."
Fang, please pay tribute to the second master.”
Chai Van was the chief supervisor of the other courtyard outside the city. He didn't know Aunt Yu and didn't know what to call her, so he only asked Lin Jingzhi for peace.
Lin Jingzhi had a calm face and did not let Chai Fang get up. Instead, he wiped his body and walked to the inside, lifted up the hem of his clothes, and sat upright on the chair. Aunt Yu followed closely, and was about to stand on his
Behind him, he received the look of Lin Jingzhi calling. After hesitating for a moment, he sat beside him.
When Chai Fang knew that such a big thing had happened, the master must have been extremely annoyed and did not dare to raise his head. He moved his legs a few times, turned around and still knelt there.
Lin Jingzhi stared at Chai Fang for a while, then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of warm tea, picked it up, blew it, and covered the cup and fiddled with the tea leaves on the water surface, drinking slowly.
He didn't say anything, so he could only hear the crisp sound of the cup lid and the teacup colliding in the room.
The sound was not loud, but every thrust seemed to match Chai Fang's heartbeat. After a while, Chai Fang, who was kneeling on the ground, was forced to sweat on his forehead by the invisible pressure around him, and his tight fist was wet.
With a "bang", Lin Jingzhi put the teacup on the table, which scared Chai Fang instinctively shivered.
Seeing Chai Fang's frightened look, Lin Jingzhi knew that the temperature was almost the same, so he asked, "Are you the butler of the West Courtyard of the City?"
"Yes, I am the butler of the West Courtyard of the City." Chai Fang kowtowed and replied quickly.
"Was the Third Master kidnapped last night?" Lin Jingzhi asked again.
Chai Fang did not dare to look up and replied, "Yes, after the villain kidnapped the third master, he left a letter in the room, and the Lin family could not tell him to report to the official." After that, Chai Fang took out one from his sleeve
The letter paper was raised high above the head.
Lin Jingzhi was stunned when he heard this, showing a little surprise. Could it be that he had guessed wrongly? It was not Wang Meng, the mastermind behind the robbery of Lin Lizhi? Generally, only those who tied the meat tickets would leave letters and threaten the victim's relatives not to report it.
Officials, otherwise they will tear up the votes.
A look of surprise flashed across his handsome face. Lin Jingzhi did not go forward to receive the letter, but suddenly lowered his voice a little, with a hint of chill, "Since the third master was slapped last night
If someone is kidnapped, why don’t you come here to report early in the morning?”
"Back... back to the second master, old... I'm at Chen Shimao and I only learned the news from the maids in the other courtyard, and then... I quickly reported it to the old lady." Chai Fang's grip
After Baba said that, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.
"My master was kidnapped at night, and you, a slave, didn't hear the news until the next morning. Chai Fang, you, a slave, are really qualified." Lin Jingzhi suppressed the anger in his heart.
He said word by word.
"I know I'm wrong, please ask the second master to be kind to you, please ask the second master to be kind to you." In the villa, Chai Fang had known that he would be punished for a long time. He was so scared that he kept kowtowing and smashing on the ground.
There was a 'bang, bang' sound.
After Chai Fang kowtowed for more than ten times, he was already scared. Lin Jingzhi spoke slowly, "It's over, what's the use of kowtowing? Why don't you tell me what you know quickly, we're fine.
Find the third master as soon as possible.”
"Yes." Chai Fang didn't care about the pain of kowtowing and kowtowing. He touched the ground with his forehead and replied anxiously: "Last night, the third master was taken to supper and was taken... No, so he followed the servant back to his room to rest.
The next morning, the maid went to find the third master to get up and eat. The third master disappeared, and the servant who was following the third master on weekdays was cut into his throat with a knife, and he was so angry that he died of anger.
Now.”
"Don't tell me that you only know this!" Lin Jingzhi said coldly.
"Second...Second Master, I really only know so much." Chai Fang was shocked by the cold air in this voice.
"Bang!" Lin Jingyi slapped the table beside him, shaking the teacup to Lao Gao. The man suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "What you said is nonsense, nothing is useless!"
From Chai Fang's words, Lin Jingzhi was already sure that Lin Lizhi's life in the other courtyard must be very difficult, but he didn't know that this was the old lady Lin's instructions and asked them to take Lin Lizhi.
It was a bit tighter, but Chai Fangnu was bullying the master in front of him, so he did not deal with him immediately.
"Second Master, before I came, I searched all the corners of the other courtyard, and gathered all the servants to ask them one by one. No one noticed that there was anything unusual last night." Chai Fang knelt down
He kowtowed a few more times on the ground, then remembered something and said:
"Aunt Zhen has been living in a different courtyard. She didn't hear any abnormal sound last night."
Aunt Zhen is Lin Lizhi's biological mother, and she didn't even hear any trouble. It seemed that Chai Fang could not ask any useful information from the mouth of her.
"Go out, we will go to the west courtyard of the city together later!" Lin Jingzhi waved his hand and blasted Chai Fang out of the hut.
Seeing Chai Fang put the letter on the table, he rolled out of the house and closed the door, Aunt Yu said, "Second Master, don't worry, the maid and concubine heard it from Butler Chai."
Several useful messages.”
"Oh? Tell me out quickly." Lin Jingzhi felt a headache and hurriedly said when he heard this.
Aunt Yu rarely considerately helped Lin Jingzhi add a cup of warm tea, slowing down the pace, signaling Lin Jingzhi to be too anxious, and then he replied: "Second Master, Butler Chai said that Lin Lizhi was kidnapped last night.
, and no one heard the abnormal noise, what does this mean? This means that those bad guys are proficient in martial arts and have good skills!"
Lin Jingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly to agree.
Aunt Yu had heard of Lin Lizhi's name and knew that this person was a rascal, so she didn't call him the third master, she just called him his name.
Also said: "In addition to being very skilled, those people should also be very familiar with the West Courtyard of the City. Otherwise, how could they go straight to Lin Lizhi's room after entering the wall and kill only one person who often follows Lin Lizhi on weekdays
The servant around you?"
"Yes, that's right!" Lin Jingyi slapped his thighs, stood up, and walked anxiously in the middle of the hut. He just saw that Old Lady Lin was hit and was so angry that he was too anxious.
I couldn't hear anything. After hearing Aunt Yu's reminder, I suddenly realized.
"Let's go, let's go to the West Courtyard now to see if we can find out the detailed work!" Since the evil people are very familiar with the West Courtyard and will not even go the wrong way at night, then they must have bribed a servant of the Lin family.
Come to be an insider, and as long as they find that insider, they can naturally find out who the sage is behind the scenes.
When Aunt Yu saw that the scholar's husband had figured it out, she nodded, but did not take action immediately. Instead, she picked up the teacup and walked up to him and signaled him to drink a cup of tea to relieve the fire.
First, he nodded to Aunt Yu, then Lin Jingzhi took the tea, opened his mouth and drank it all, "Let's go, I won't make the same mistake again."
No matter what you do, only by keeping a normal mind can you avoid making mistakes. If you don’t believe it, you can look for the people around you to see if the more irritable and impatient people are, the less you can do anything big.
Put down the teacup in his hand and picked up the letter. Lin Jingzhi didn't even read it, so he stuffed it into his arms. The two walked out of the wing room one after another, and attracted a servant to send a message to the guards, asking them to lead the horse to the gate.
, and Chai Fang followed closely behind the two of them.
However, before the two of them had taken a few steps, they saw a little maid running towards them. The little maid was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Maybe she ran a little anxiously, and her chest was so tired that she was swelling sharply. She was panting.
His face was also a little red. When he came close, he quickly bowed his knees and said anxiously: "Second Master, there is a distinguished guest coming!" dd
