I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Yu Qiuzhi's face became a little ugly. He turned to Superintendent Lu and said sternly: "Prince Superintendent, don't blame me. My lord is also eager to solve the case..."

However, Lu Jiancheng was very well-mannered, with a smile on his face and no hint of displeasure.

"Your Majesty only gave Mr. Huo three days, but Lv came at an untimely time. It's just that this matter is not big at all, but it is not small at all. Without Mr. Huo's approval, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."

Yu Yicheng's heart suddenly moved. Lu Jiancheng is in charge of Shang Shanjian, a close minister who can see His Majesty every day and can talk to him. He dreams of establishing friendship with such a person.

"To be honest with you, Lord Supervisor, Lord Huo is busy investigating the case and chasing down the culprit, and has temporarily handed over all other matters in this city to the official. If you don't mind the low-key words of the official, why don't you tell me about the difficult matter. Maybe a lower official can do his best?"

"Oh?" Lu Jiancheng glanced at him with a smile but not a smile: "In my opinion, Mr. Yu is a capable person who dares to take on things."

Yu Qiuzhi's face turned red with excitement. "If you have anything to do, Supervisor, just give me your orders. Whatever Yu can do, I will definitely do it for you!"

After the banquet, Bai Zhentang went to see his son again. Seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, he felt really mixed emotions in his heart. The block that had accumulated in his heart for the past two months had disappeared inexplicably. At this moment, he was in an extremely excited mood and was not even half sleepy. He simply returned to the study to prepare to deal with some backlogged things.

"Master." Bai Jin, his personal attendant, had been waiting here for a long time and handed over a secret letter: "The letter was sent over there last night, but you have been busy..."

Bai Zhentang frowned, and instinctively felt a trace of annoyance in his heart, but did not take it immediately.

"What I asked you to convey, did you pass it on?"

Bai Jin lowered his head: "Master, it's better to think about it again. The words of the old master before he left are still in my ears. It's better not to mention the words like breaking up the whole family again, right?"

This means that nothing has been said yet.

Bai Zhentang looked at his submissive look, and all the depression that had just dissipated came back: "They helped Aweng a lot when he became rich, but the offerings sent by the Bai family over the years have not been enough. The total amount is more than ten times the capital, which can be regarded as repayment with a spring of water."

"But our Bai family is doing serious business after all. We can no longer follow the shady people without any reservations like before." He said seriously:

"This year's offerings have been paid in full, and this is the last time that my Bai family will repay their kindness. We will walk our own path in the future, so we won't bother him to worry about it."

Bai Jin raised his head, straightened his shoulders and back, and his whole aura suddenly changed.

"It seems that Master Bai has already made up his mind, so I won't persuade you any more." The light in his eyes was flowing, as bright as a flame, but there was also a ruthlessness in it.

Bai Jin has stayed in the Bai family for more than ten years and has won Bai Zhentang's trust, but he has never seen this side of him.

"Bai Jin, what are you doing?"

Bai Jin's voice became extremely cold and hard: "Now that the Bai family has made a choice, I will go back and tell the master on my own. Just because we have been together day and night for so many years, I would like to advise the Bai family: Domestic dogs are No matter how tall or big it grows, once it is abandoned by its owner, it is still a lost dog, and there is no other way out except starving to death or being cooked."

After saying this, he did not look at Bai Zhentang's gray and ugly face, and turned around and left without any hesitation.

After he left, Bai Zhentang sat quietly for a long time, his mood still not calming down.

My lord is just a wanderer. Even if he was kind to the Bai family, he has not repaid him enough in the past ten years. Who knew that Mr. Jieyou, who was always willing to give up money and save money, was actually a leech lying on the Bai family's head sucking blood?

After Lang'er recovers from his illness, he still has to talk about his marriage to Captain Chang Ling. Even if he hires a concubine from his family, she is getting married to an official with a thousand stones. Even if Mr. Jieyou wants to use the ranger to cause trouble, Mr. Xu will never stand idly by, but the betrothal gift is extra special. Just use your heart.

As he was thinking this, his eyes suddenly glanced at the secret letter left by Bai Jin. His heart moved, and he reached out to take it out and read it.

Guanxuexuan is not a small place. In the backyard, there is a pool of hundreds of square meters built with white marble, which is filled with hot air.

When Luo Qianhuai took a closer look, she realized that it was heated spring water, mixed with milk and fragrant dew, and was specially used for bathing as a distinguished guest.

Although it was a bit extravagant, Luo Qianhuai took advantage of his drunkenness and happily soaked for a while. When he got out of the water, he was already very sleepy and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was suddenly woken up by a system sound.

"It has been detected that the current time is the best time to discover the truth. Start discovering the truth now. Oops! Since the host's current ability is not enough to complete it independently, this system will enforce it!"

Luo Qianhuai almost forgot about the "Discovering the Truth" he got in the last lottery, but he didn't expect that the system remembered it very clearly. It's just that she is still a guest of the Bai family, and she is wearing a moonlight white lake silk pajamas. It is too conspicuous when she walks out like this.

"System, can I stop checking it? Can you calm down a little bit every day?"

"Use the shortcut system to reach the peak of life! Thank you for your trust and support in the shortcut system version 1.2!"

Luo Qianhuai: "...System, you win."

It's quiet at night. There were almost no people in the huge Bai family courtyard. Occasionally, there were a few servants on night duty, all of whom yawned lazily, but no one raised their head to look at the roof.

Luo Qianhuai walked quickly on the roof ridge with light steps, quickly passed through the main courtyard, entered a courtyard in the northwest corner, and stopped in front of the main door of the main house.

Everything was quiet, originally only the sound of the wind filled my ears, but now there was the sound of two more people talking.

Their voices were actually very soft, and they did not wake up the sleeping maid sitting outside the dormitory, but they could not escape Luo Qianhuai's ears, which were blessed by the system.

"Husband, please don't lie to me. Hasn't Brother Lang already entered the gate of hell? This iron plate is nailed down, how can there be any change?" The speaker was a woman, and her voice sounded young. But he still pinched his throat and made a sweet sound, which made Luo Qianhuai's scalp tingle.

But the man next to her seemed to be used to it. "Why did I lie to you? My brother invited the famous Dr. Mei this time, and he also brought a young lady with him. It is said that his skin is like gelatin, and his beauty is heavenly... Ouch, this is so good, you Why are you pinching me?"

"This huge family property is going to be wasted, and I am extremely worried about my husband - but how about you, are you still in the mood to pay attention to those little goblins?"

The little fairy Luo Qianhuai was silent. She didn't expect that the night talk duo in the White House could be involved in her.

The system raised his hand to push the door, and the door opened silently. It's just that the room is very wide and the bedroom is in the inner room, so the two people didn't notice it at all.
