The banquet is over, and everything returns to normal.Anping was fine. After taking two doses of medicine and resting overnight, he still appeared in front of Pei Yi the next day.

He just couldn't hide it when he saw the same thing in good condition, and was slightly taken aback.

Originally, he was well-informed, but he didn't know how the same guy found out. After that, Anping went to the stables to check, and saw that Ling Yun was still lively and arrogant, but it was an old horse that hadn't been used for a long time. The entire stable smelled bad.

After the incident, Anping still had a smile on his face as before, and Xie Yanwen was far away from his friends. This was his tactic, the one who wins over the active one, and he never forgot to draw the disaster to the high-spirited one.

At the same time, he also pays more attention to his own words and deeds, so as not to be caught by others.However, trouble came sooner than he imagined.

He was listening to a lecture in the school that day, and through the glass window, he saw Li Mingxiu leading a few people here.

A group of people did not enter the door, as if they were looking at some flowers and trees in the yard, but their eyes kept drifting towards the school. A man who was unfamiliar stood with Li Mingxiu and pointed for a long time, as if talking about sitting in the school. several people.Afterwards, his eyes stopped on him, and he nodded a few times. Li Mingxiu stared silently for a moment, and led the people out of the yard.

At the same time, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt that something was going to happen.Sure enough, before he returned to his room after class, a few young and strong servants came over and surrounded him, and the leader said, "Master Li ordered, and at the same time, we will collude with outsiders and sell my brother's things privately. Temporarily hold him in the south chamber of the inverted seat, and then he will be interrogated carefully by Master Li later."

Several people couldn't help but push and push him to the inverted south room at the corner door.

The so-called upside-down south house is a formal house facing south. It was born facing south, with extremely poor lighting, and no one cleaned it on weekdays.The dust was stained with a little gloomy sunlight, and the whole room seemed to be filled with a layer of gold dust, and there was a choking smell everywhere.

The detainees refused to reveal anything except the crimes they committed, and they left in a hurry.

Sitting on the dusty chair at the same time, he was bored thinking about the person he met today.There is a pair of triangular eyes embedded in a pentagonal face, which is a bit treacherous and shrewd. The moment he saw himself, the look on the man's face was like a cat that only saw a mouse.

Of course he didn't recognize that person, but he also knew that he must have some status to be able to enter the room and stand with Li Mingxiu. He must be a businessman who came to Pei's house to discuss business.

Then the rhetoric of framing is very correct. He colludes with outside businessmen, planning to take advantage of Pei Yi's inattention and privately take out his things, or his study, or inconspicuous valuables to resell.Li Mingxiu just happened to know that he was short of money and was waiting to use it urgently. From the motive point of view, he did have a reason to take the risk.

This is undoubtedly Anping's handwriting. His mother has been in the mansion for so many years. She is considered a decent lady in charge. It is not difficult to find a few businessmen from outside. It is not difficult to find someone to frame him and make him indisputable. It's not over until Pei Yi drives away.

Pei Yi is really sweet. If Anping didn't tell lies, Pei Jin didn't get married until the age of 22. If there were hidden diseases or secrets, then Pei Yi would become the only heir of the Pei family. If you curry favor with him, the future will be natural. The benefits continue.

Therefore, how could Anping mother and son let an outsider take this vacancy for nothing.

In fact, if he lost his job of serving Pei Yi, he wouldn't feel much distressed.The big deal is to be an ordinary boy. Although the money is small, you can still do other part-time jobs. Anyway, you are young and powerful, so why not do it?I just don't know how the Pei family will deal with him. If he is kicked out, his reputation will be bad now, and he may not be able to find work outside.

And he is not considered a good citizen, so I don't know if those tailor shops and clothing shops are willing to take someone like him.

I thought about it for a while, but fortunately he was optimistic by nature. When Li Mingxiu came to see him, he saw that he didn't look decadent at all, and he was able to stand up to greet him immediately with a smile on his face. I couldn't help being a little surprised, and then I think this kid is really big-hearted.

"Master Li," Tong Ze not only got up, but also poured water, "There is no good tea to serve, a glass of plain water, you can moisten your throat first."

Li Mingxiu looked at him with a smile of interest, "Oh, after moistening your throat?"

"It's better to interrogate the younger one slowly." The same raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Let's explain it to the younger one first. I saw the person who accused me today, and if he said that he didn't recognize him, Master Li might not believe it. But I will Stupid, it is not possible to find a businessman who has contacts with the family to sell private goods. If you really want to resell things, you can go to the black market outside-not to mention whether the incident will be able to withstand investigation in the future, you have to find a place where no one knows Selling, it is reasonable to die without proof."

Li Mingxiu nodded, "That makes sense. Right now there are witnesses, but no physical evidence. After all, there is no shortage of things in my brother's room. But it may also be that you haven't found a suitable opportunity. You need money, and you can't hide it. Say you are in a hurry Asking for money, anyone who hears it thinks it is very possible."

At the same time, he sneered, "It seems that the small one can only admit it?"

"There are witnesses, and they can tell your surname and name, and what you look like. You know, my wife has always hated people with dirty hands and feet."

"What about Mr. Li, even if you have doubts in your heart, you still have to put the blame on the little one? You're new here, how many buyers and sellers do you know?" Tong smiled, and said with a slightly serious face, "It's not pleasant to say that. , the youngest one was chosen by Master Li himself, and if he was framed like this, he would be beaten in the face of Master Li."

This is sincere, but it does not mean to provoke or threaten at all.

Li Mingxiu praised him in his heart. This kid is a talent. He doesn't panic when he changes. He knows that there is probably no way to get rid of the crime. He can also calmly drag himself into the water. He beat a snake to seven inches, so he had to help him. After all, this matter concerns his own face. .

Li Mingxiu smiled, "If I don't want to protect you, why should I come here to see you? It's just an errand for my brother, you can't do it in the future. My wife won't keep a criminal, and Xiao brother can't ask for some People with flaws in character, even I can't do anything about it."

After getting the clear instructions, Tong turned to the next best thing, "I understand, I don't want anything else, I just hope that Master Li can do small errands, as much as he wants, young and young, he can do any job."

Li Mingxiu shook his head and sighed softly, "It's not wrong to drive you out, but the low-level handyman, even if he does a lot, the monthly money is limited, after all, it's better to be by my brother's side." After a pause, he frowned and asked, "Are you careful?" Think about it, is there any other clues to find, who is trying to kill you?"

Isn't this clear at a glance? At the same time, he took out the forage of that day from his pocket, and explained the reasons for that day in detail.

"It's a pity," Li Mingxiu shook his head and sighed again, "This is not a clear proof, you and I know it well. It's because they did a thorough job and even found witnesses."

Speaking of this, Tong Ze felt unwilling, "With such a person by his side, Master Li is not afraid that he will use my brother as a raft, and sooner or later he will harm my brother?"

Li Mingxiu smiled wryly, "I have to be different. I have never had a hand in the affairs of the wife's room. Anping's mother has been with the wife for more than ten years, and Jiantian is by her side to serve. People always talk about feelings. .”

The same is helpless, "I understand, I just ask Master Li to be more careful in the future. Brother Xiao is still young, sensible but simple-minded. I sincerely hope that he can grow up healthy and happy."

Li Mingxiu nodded, his eyes were a little moved, "It's hard for you to still think about him like this. I knew that you were a benevolent kid when you saved Xie Yanwen that day."

He stood up and left a burden behind, "Don't waste your good craftsmanship, this is my kid's clothes, if you do it, I'll just pay you for it."

At the same time, he smiled, said thank you, and watched Li Mingxiu go out with his hands behind his back.Since he didn't say when he will be interrogated again, or when he can be released, he should just do the work first.

Unexpectedly, there would be a result two days later, the same group of people who escorted him in before greeted him out in person, and when they opened the door, it was Pei Yi who saw it first.

Pei Yi opened his hands and said in a nasal voice, "The same, come back with me."

At the same time, he was stunned for a moment, could it be that Li Mingxiu really cleaned up Anping's mother and son?Taking two steps forward, he smelled the dust on his clothes, he didn't have the nerve to hug Pei Yi, squatted down and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few days, my brother seems to have lost weight, maybe you miss me?"

Pei Yi smiled, took his hand, and jumped up and down, "Anyway, I'm fine now, just eat two more dishes with me for lunch, let's go, let's talk as we walk."

Along the way, he just listened to Pei Yi's eloquence, and Tong Ze figured it out, but he didn't expect the process to be like this.

First, Anping went to his wife to intercede. Of course, Pei Yi didn’t think there was any difference in the rhetoric he used, but it sounded like a strong overtone—he said that he was reliable, but he was short of money. For this, he would rather work hard for the whole family Clothes work, getting up early and working late at night, makes people lose weight. If you are trustworthy and willing to endure hardships, you will not have those crooked thoughts.

On the bright side, he didn't add insult to injury, and he seemed quite righteous, and he had picked himself out, but every word and every word implied that Tong had sufficient motives for committing the crime.

Then, it was Xie Yanwen who begged the second grandma Xu's.At the same time, upon first hearing it, Xie Yanwen couldn't help but slander Xie Yanwen for being foolish. Then Mrs. Xu found a book boy for her son, and she had a good plan, so how could she take the initiative to stand up for a servant.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xu didn't intervene, or didn't intervene directly. In the end, the case went round and round, and it actually fell on the uncle Pei Quan.

On that day, Pei Quan went to the upper room in person, and admitted that he was short of money recently, and wanted to sell some items in his room privately.Because of this, he was a bit ashamed, so he didn't find someone close to him to do it. Instead, he saw that the guy around Brother Xiao was smart and strict enough, so he searched for a long time before choosing.Give him some benefits, let him keep things secret, and tell the seller that it is the young master's stuff. If it is found out in the future, anyway, there are a lot of things in Pei Yi's house, so it will be fine.

This is quite a plausible reason, but no matter how poor Pei Quan is, he is still the master of the Pei family, why is he so short of money!

Moreover, Pei Quan has never had any contact with him, why is he willing to come forward to protect him at this time?

At the same time, a dark thought welled up in his heart. In this way, he owes Pei Quan a favor. It's over, Pei Quan's hobby will not be used on him in the future...

Turning his head to look at Pei Yi with a happy face, he naturally didn't know about his uncle's mess, and at the same time, he didn't want to frighten this innocent young man, so he had to respond with a smile, keeping his heart down.

He turned to ask Pei Yi with a smile, "So, I have to thank you later, but why is he short of money? My wife also believes this reason?"

Pei Yi knew the story inside, blinked, showed disdain, and said with a bit of pity, "You don't know, it's my aunt... she, she always takes two puffs of cigarettes, that thing costs the most money. My mother It is said that one must not touch it as a human being, but let alone seeing the money flow out like water, the body will be ruined by Taobao."

Tong Ze was surprised when he heard it, bent down and asked in a low voice, "Grandma smokes opium?"

In this era, opium smoke has become popular among the nobles. The reason why the Dayan court did not prohibit it is that the opium cream was originally monopolized by the court.Just like selling tobacco in later generations, when the imperial court sells opium, it will clearly state that this substance is harmful to the body, and it is up to you to choose whether to buy it or not.

Even the opium dens on the street are government-run. Only the rich and powerful have the power to consume them, but those who really care about themselves will never touch them.After all, opium is a big profit and tax household. The court knew it was harmful, but it was still reluctant to completely ban it.

Seeing him surprised, Pei Yi also felt sorry for him, and sighed like a little adult, "They all passed the Ming Road, my aunt is in a bad mood all day, and my uncle doesn't spend much time with her, she feels depressed , I picked up that thing. Grandma has no choice but to let her go... If you say grandma is lenient to uncle, it’s just because it’s not your own.”

These words must have been heard from other people's mouths. When he recounted, his expression was mysterious, but his eyes were ignorant.

It's better not to cause trouble for the innocent boy, but the same man changed the topic with a busy smile, and walked back with him all the way.

When I came back again, I went to the room to thank my wife first, Xue Shi only said that I was busy, and sent a confidant girl who was half warning and half comforting, and said a lot of words, nothing more than the rules of the Hou Mansion, don't be smart, Next time, no matter what the reason is, he can't be kept by the young master's side.

After half a day passed, they still didn't see Anping, and guessed that he was hiding, so he went back to the room and took a shower, before stepping into the room, Xie Yanwen came out first.

There was still a grapefruit leaf in his hand, and the same man smiled when he saw it.

"Do you still believe this? I'm not going to be a prisoner, can I?"

"Go unlucky." Xie Yanwen gave him a blank look, picked up the leaf and swept it from head to toe, wishing he could put the stem of the leaf into his neck and scratch it, and dragged him into the house after a long walk.

"Don't need another brazier?" Tong asked with a smile.

"You are just out of shape. You were almost kicked out. You don't know the severity. I don't even want to think about what life will be used in the future and what will be used to redeem your sister?"

At the same time, my heart felt hot. If I read correctly, this person is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.But he cared so much, and still held on to a reserved face, it was really a shame.

"Thank you," he didn't want to thank you, he just cupped his hands at Xie Yanwen, and then slowly sat down and asked, "Go beg Second Mistress, did she make things difficult for you?"

Xie Yanwen shook his head, pondered for a while before saying, "It's not easy for her, originally she intended to protect you for Brother Xiao, but there was no reason why she didn't want to show up. There are so many eyes on her in this house, and if there is something dirty about hands and feet in the second room, always It inevitably makes people suspect that she is trying to subsidize her mother's family, and before the results came out, rumors had already spread."

At the same time, he thought for a while and asked, "What's the matter with the uncle?" After a pause, he simply asked, "Did you go to ask for him, or did Second Mistress go to find him?"

Xie Yanwen hesitated for a moment, "It's the second grandma, I didn't go look for him."

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!" After speaking, he thought it was funny, and added, "He has a bad reputation, as I said, don't show your face in front of him in the future."

This remark touched Xie Yanwen's head again, and he took it for granted that he rolled his eyes, "Don't worry about me, you have caused so much jealousy and hatred on the cusp of the storm, and you will not restrain yourself in the future."

At the same time he chuckled, isn't that right, he wasn't supposed to be a prominent figure, but he was still being targeted, the reality is really hard to guard against.What's more, even Li Mingxiu couldn't deal with Anping mother and son, let alone him.

It seems that being close to the young master is not easy, it is better to find an opportunity to leave the business center and earn his money earnestly.
