Start Six Maids

"What changes in Shi Yue, Shi Liang is the one who knows best!"

Chapter 454

In the small courtyard, Shi Liang was busy chopping firewood, cooking pots, and boiling water.

Gululu...

In the old tin kettle, there was steaming steam.

Seeing that the water had boiled, Shi Liang quickly withdrew the firewood from the stove and poured a ladle of cold water to extinguish it.

"call···"

"It's hot!"

Shi Liang tentatively touched the handle of the kettle, then grinned from being burned.

After waiting for several breaths, Shi Liang reckoned that the temperature of the kettle was not that hot anymore.

He quickly picked up the handle of the kettle with his hand, and ran to Chu Ci and the others in a hurry.

boom!

Putting the kettle on the ground, Shi Liang pinched his earlobe and jumped up.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chu Ci smiled and looked at Shi Liang.

"hey-hey···"

Shi Liang scratched his head with a dry smile, and said, "I'm afraid you'll wait too long."

"By the way, I'm going to get the bowl."

Shi Liang turned around and went back to the house and took out a water bowl.

Whoa!

When steaming water was poured into the bowl, Shi Liang had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

Guests come to drink tea from other people's homes, but they can only drink water.

"Lord Chu, the family is poor, why don't you just drink some water to quench your thirst?"

Shi Liang carefully placed the bowl in front of Chu Ci.

Chu Ci chuckled, picked up the bowl and took a sip indifferently.

Shi Liang stood quietly by the side, looking at Chu Ci and the others with a cautious expression, for fear of any dissatisfaction.

Chu Ci put down the water bowl and said with a smile, "Shi Liang, sit down too."

"This is your home, why are you so nervous?"

"En." Shi Liangliang nodded, and then found a stone pier to sit down on.

Di Gongming had been silently looking at Shi Liang, seeing that Shi Liang relaxed, his eyes flashed.

"Shi Liang, can I ask you a few questions?"

Shi Liang looked at Di Gongming in surprise, nodded subconsciously and said, "Of course, what do you want to ask?"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "Tell me about your family situation."

Shi Liang scratched his head, wondering why Di Gongming cared about this.

"Father and mother left when my sister and I were very young, and my sister and I grew up eating all kinds of food from the neighbor's house..."

"When I'm older, I'll go to the city to find odd jobs in exchange for some rice and noodles for food, while my sister does laundry and cooking at home..."

"The situation at home is much better now, and I can earn money outside, and I usually buy some things to give to my neighbors, as a repayment for the kindness of my upbringing."

Shi Liang sat on the stone bench with half of his buttocks, his back straight.

Looking at Di Gongming, he stated his past life word by word.

Di Gongming didn't interrupt, but nodded slightly from time to time while stroking his beard.

After Shi Liang finished speaking, Di Gongming spoke slowly.

"Shi Liang, you must have a good relationship with your sister, right?"

"Of course!"

Shi Liang replied with bright eyes, "My sister is my closest relative!"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "Then you should know your sister very well?"

Shi Liang nodded heavily, his face filled with pride.

"I have been dependent on my younger sister since I was a child, so I am very familiar with it."

"Then..." Di Gongming pondered for a while and said, "Then, have you noticed anything unusual about your sister after she came back from the Dutong Mansion?"

"I···"

Shi Liang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

The light in his eyes and the smile on his face also all subsided.

After a while, the voice finally squeezed out from Shi Liang's throat.

"no!"

"My sister doesn't have any abnormalities!"

The movements in Di Gongming's hands stopped.

It could be seen that Shi Liang had definitely lied.

"Shi Liang."

Di Gongming looked deeply at Shi Liang, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you can tell the truth!"

"This is not only good for you, but also good for your sister!"

Shi Liang's small face instantly turned pale when he heard this.

"Me." Shi Liang opened his mouth, his face full of embarrassment.

Shi Liang lowered his head slightly, clenched his fists, and his body trembled slightly due to excessive force.

Seeing this, Di Gongming frowned slightly.

Looking at Shi Liang's situation, I'm afraid he won't tell the truth.

"Shi Liang."

Chu Ci's voice sounded.

Chu Ci's words were very powerful to Shi Liang, Shi Liang's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head.

"My lord, I..."

Shi Liang was still hesitant, unwilling, or unwilling to tell the truth.

Chu Ci looked into Shi Liang's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Shi Liang, if you really regard Shi Yue as your younger sister, tell the truth!"

"Otherwise, in the end, the only one who regrets is yourself!"

Chu Ci's words fell on Shi Liang's head like a slap in the face.

"I see."

Shi Liang took a deep breath and glanced into the room.

"In the embroidered building in the backyard of the Dutong Mansion, I found something wrong with my sister!"

"On weekdays, as long as I call my sister, my sister will come running over."

"But my sister didn't hear my shout before, and she didn't even see my brother!"

While speaking, Shi Liang's face was full of disappointment.

Looking at Chu Ci and the others, Shi Liang smiled wryly, "Do you know that my heart was cold at that time!"

"At that moment, what I seemed to see was not my sister, but another person!"

After a moment of silence, Shi Liang continued, "After returning home, my sister became even more strange."

"My sister used to do most of the work at home."

"The family is poor, so naturally it won't be very clean, and my sister never cares about it."

"But when I came back this time, my sister felt a little disgusted by the mess at home."

"And the first time I came back was not to sleep well, but to take a bath, wash clothes, and wash the quilt cover!"

Shi Liang shook his head and said with a chuckle, "She is a poor peasant girl, so she brought so many things?"

Chu Ci's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he said aloud, "So the current Shi Yue is still the younger sister you used to be?"

Shi Liang pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Shi Liang looked at the room, and said in a deep voice, "But she is my sister, no matter what she becomes, she will always be!"

Chu Ci sighed softly, got up and said, "I'm afraid this matter is a bit troublesome."

"Master Di." Chu Ci looked at Di Gongming and said, "The Shi family still needs someone to watch over it. I'm afraid the Dutong Mansion will not let it go!"

Di Gongming nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "I will let Chongming watch here."

After pondering for a moment, Di Gongming continued, "Master Chu, do you need to ask Shi Yue himself?"

Chu Ci thought for a while, "Forget it."

"Even if you ask her, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anything."

"I will investigate this matter in a different direction!"

At this moment, Chu Ci thought of the immigrant from Xianzhu who auctioned off his employment rights at the underground auction.

Pei Lan is sunny.

Speaking of it, she seems to be related to the young lady of the Dutong Mansion family.

Di Gongming stood up and said, "Since Master Chu has ideas, I will trouble Master Chu to investigate this matter."

"I'll go back and look through the documents about Gu Xianguo."

Di Gongming looked at Li Chongming and ordered, "Chongming, you stay here first to prevent the thieves from coming again!"

Li Chongming took the command, "Yes, my lord!"

Chapter 455 Visit

Chu Ci and his party left Shi Liang's house, and first sent Di Gongming back to Wangyue Tower.

Di Gongming wanted to inquire about the documents and materials about Gu Xianguo, so he couldn't leave the Wangyue Tower, so Chu Ci asked Zui Taoist to stay, which can be regarded as a help.

Walking out of the Moon Tower, Chu Ci asked Leng Ruxue aloud.

"Ru Xue, do you still remember the person who bought the right to employ immigrants from Xianzhu Country at the underground auction?"

Leng Ruxue pondered for a moment, and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be Xiancheng who brought Tan Chenglu's family to justice!"

Chu Ci nodded and said, "Okay, let's pay a visit to Lord Tan!"

Tan Chenglu's mansion is not on Cross Street, but on a street not far from Cross Street.

Chu Ci hired a carriage, turned a few turns along the street, and came to the gate of the Tan Mansion.

"Shut up!"

The handlebar stopped the carriage and said aloud, "My lords, we have arrived."

Chu Ci jumped off the carriage and looked up at the Tan family.

On the closed door, the vermilion lacquer has peeled off a little.

Few carriages stopped in front of the gate.

It can be seen that the Tan family is not well-off, and few people come to visit.
