How to work

Chapter 84

Lu Li didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Ever since the Chengdu Mansion heard the news from their parents and wanted to come to Xingyuan, everything they encountered was bad.Drunken and mischievous, Zhao Zhu left. The boat sailed to the bank and met the funeral procession. When Bai Mingtao died in Xingyuan, he finally managed to get in. Mrs. Bai met another accident, as if the heavens deliberately punished him.

He is ready to fight a tough battle, even if the twists and turns are difficult to deal with, he still has to plan and advance slowly. Unexpectedly, by chance, he saved Mrs. Bai and gained Bai Xu's trust!

Feeling overjoyed, Lu Li subconsciously looked at Shen Wansha.Along the way, this little friend has paid a lot for him, and finally saw the opportunity!

Shen Wansha also clenched his small fists and blinked at Lu Li, his clear eyes were full of unconcealed surprise: There is nowhere to be found after breaking through the iron shoes, there is another village in the dark, little Lizi, the opportunity has come, hurry up!

Uh, that doesn't seem to be the case?Shen Wansha scratched his head, forget it, he doesn't need scientific examinations, he just likes to read crooked books, and it doesn't matter if he can't remember battles clearly, that's what he means!Shen Wansha rolled his eyes, and stood solemnly beside Lu Li with his hands folded.There is no need to say what is in his heart, as long as he maintains a mysterious, luxurious and wealthy image that everyone admires and admires.

Lu Li looked back, smiled lightly and nodded towards Bo Xu, "Lu will live up to his trust!"

Lu Li and Shen Wansha looked at each other for a short period of time, and they only occasionally collided with each other, and almost no one noticed it, except Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu pressed his fingers on his palm, making a clicking sound.

But after being separated for more than a month, I have no status at all!When the little white-eyed wolf was pleasantly surprised and elated, he was the first to look at the kid surnamed Shen!What's so good about a boy surnamed Shen, but with a little money, can he keep you safe?Can I escort you?Can you clean up the mess if something goes wrong?Whose brand did you come out to pretend to be a fake tiger!

Obviously I was very happy to see myself appearing just now, but I forgot it in a blink of an eye!

Zhao Zhu's eyes swept over Lu Li, and then towards Shen Wansha.

Shen Wansha didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Zhu at all, he just thought that his little friend was so handsome, he could almost shine!That confident smile, that little canine teeth that are full of wisdom, that indomitable aura, is obviously about the same age as me, why is it so annoying, I really want to take it home and raise it!

Thinking of dressing Lu Li in golden light and putting on ten or eight gold collars for him, Shen Wansha thought the picture was so beautiful, but unfortunately Lu Li's aesthetics was distorted by his poor aunt named Feng. Definitely don't like it, it's really embarrassing.

Lu Li seemed to have noticed Shen Wansha's gaze, and blinked at him quietly.

Shen Wansha winked back.

The interaction between the two teenagers is innocent and lovely, especially harmonious!

Zhao Zhu's eyes were crazy, and he sneered in his heart, considering whether to lock up the little white-eyed wolf with heavy chains, so that he only had eyes for himself...

"No!" When the atmosphere was just right, the tall fat woman suddenly interrupted, "Brother Xu! Death is the big deal, and peace is in the soil. Your father's death in the government office has said it's okay. Why are you so paranoid? Why are you so paranoid?" Bewitched by a boy of unknown origin! Your mother is heartbroken like this, and your father has not been buried for a long time. Do you want the Bai family to be laughed at and ignorant of filial piety! How do you arrange such a family!"

"Auntie be careful! My father died miserably, and my mother was murdered for no reason. My aunt temporarily took care of the mansion, but this mansion has become a vegetable garden, where thieves come and go. If I don't find out the cause of my father's death and find out the murderer Who is the mother, that is the greatest unfilial piety!"

Bai Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was soft, "Auntie just wants to share the family wealth left by my father. Although uncle is the eldest son, the Bai family has separated, and all the wealth in the house was earned by my father for my mother and brothers. , has nothing to do with others. My father died, and my aunt sincerely helped me with the funeral. I am grateful in my heart, and my aunt's thanking ceremony will definitely be missing, but if my aunt deliberately prevents bad things, or has something bad Thinking, bullying my mother is seriously ill and my brother is young, so that my father can't rest in peace, don't blame my nephew for being ruthless!"

The woman was still talking, when she suddenly felt pain in her side ribs, as if she was hit by something, her eyes were round and she couldn't speak, her expression and movements were as if she had been caught with a guilty conscience.

She didn't speak, Bai Xu was the eldest son in the family, and when Bai Mingtao passed away, his words were naturally the loudest. Lu Li was entrusted by him, so it was logical to find out the cause of Bai Mingtao's death.

Bai Xu sent out all the irrelevant people, and asked Cheng's mother to take Lu Li and the three of them to another room and wait until the doctor came to see Mrs. Bai's condition, prescribed a prescription and decocted the medicine, and then took care of everything. Clothes, ready to go to Lu Li.

At this time, Lu Li already had a general understanding of the situation in Bai Mingtao's house from Cheng's mother.

The ancestors of the Bai family belonged to a large Hejian family with many branches. Bai Mingtao's branch is a collateral line, which has declined because no one has been an official for several generations.Bai Mingtao has two older brothers who were born of his father's first wife, and he and his younger sister are born of his second wife.Unlike his two elder brothers, Bai Mingtao was born intelligent, and he didn't let his family worry about his education. He studied and managed his own business and became an official. Father Bai was very relieved.

But the younger brother became an official, and he was getting better and better every day, but the older brothers still dealt with mud legs, and married a careless daughter-in-law, so there were more conflicts.Bai's father had a clear mind and advocated dividing the family for the three brothers when he was alive. Because of this, Bai Mingtao was unhindered all the way and his official career was prosperous.

After Bai's father left, Bai Mingtao's eldest brother and sister-in-law tried every means to send their daughter to Bai Mingtao's house, under the pretext that he was brought up by his family so that they could talk about marriage in the future, and they often visited the house on the grounds of seeing their daughter. Last year, they even moved the whole family to Xingyuan Mansion. , Try every means to seek benefits.

Now that Bai Mingtao died unexpectedly, Bai Xu had just been admitted as a scholar, and he was delayed by at least three years because of his filial piety, so it was uncertain what would happen afterwards, but Bai Mingtao's elder brother and sister-in-law put their ideas on the Bai family's wealth. Want to get some points for myself.

The fat woman who made a fuss in Mrs. Bai's room just now is Bai Mingtao's sister-in-law Zhu Shi.The first guests were greeted by Bai Mingtao's elder brother Bai Minghai and the housekeeper Guan Shan.Guan Shan has been with Bai Mingtao for seven years, and Bai Mingtao attaches great importance to him. He helps out both internally and externally, and is very loyal. When he steps in, Bai Xu feels a little relieved.

Bai Xu was Bai Mingtao's eldest son, and the five-year-old boy standing in the mourning hall was his younger brother Bai Yu, both of whom were born to Mrs. Bai.Mrs. Bai is two years older than Bai Mingtao. When she was young, she accidentally lost two babies. She has been in poor health. She was very old when she gave birth to these two children. The son has not grown up and cannot support the family. This is also one of the reasons why she was bullied by the big house .

Bai Mingtao also has a concubine, which was specially arranged for him by his first wife and childless. This concubine's surname is Fang. If the reason were to be blamed on Mrs. Bai, the two were at odds.Aunt Fang has two daughters and a son. The daughters are Xu Duo, who is 15 years old, and Xu Guo, who is [-] years old. The son was born in Dongyue last year. It is less than a week old now. Bai Mingtao named him Xu Rang.

Because Xu Rang was too young, only the two brothers Bai Xu and Bai Yu, Xu Duo and Xu Guo, and Xu Fang, the daughter of Bai Minghai who lived in Bai Mingtao's house, knelt in the inner hall to welcome the guests.

Lu Li listened quietly, not forgetting to observe Cheng's mother's expression.Seeing that the resentment in her eyes was very obvious when she talked about Aunt Fang, she asked, "This Aunt Fang... is not easy to get along with?"

"It's not just difficult to get along with, it's a headache! Except for her eldest daughter, the two children were all obtained by scheming and getting drunk. If it weren't for the sake of her giving birth to the Bai family, the master would I can't stand her anymore!" Cheng's mother's eyes were sharp, "Especially after Mrs. Zhu came over frequently, she actually talked to her in particular, and the two of them were always whispering in secret. The madam has been in poor health for the past two years, so the master Assign some things to Aunt Fang to take care of, and let her not be so idle, who knows that it's okay if she doesn't care about things, as long as she takes care of things, things happen!"

Mama Cheng hated her a little bit, Lu Li knew that she would tell her without asking, so she waited quietly, and sure enough, Mama Cheng bit her lips when she saw that no one spoke, "The carriage was arranged by Aunt Fang on the day the master had an accident! It must be her who killed the master, sir, please check it out!"

Lu Li ignored Cheng's mother's excitement, and only asked, "Auntie Fang will take care of the trips in the house?"

"The master only asked her to deal with some trivial matters. She volunteered to take care of the stables, and Mrs. Zhu spoke in a strange way, so the master agreed. Who knows..." Cheng's mother's eyes dimmed.

Lu Li thought for a while, "Now there is no evidence, I can't just listen to you and make a judgment, whether Mrs. Bai's death was accidental, who killed Mrs. Bai, I will try my best to find out, please ask mother rest assured."

Cheng's mother had a slight resistance to him before, and she was also a loyal protector. After seeing his ability to bring the dead back to life, her eyes became very awed, her words were very sincere, and she answered every question. She had a strong desire to find the murderer.Lu Li didn't want to embarrass his loyal servant, and his attitude was very gentle, "It's just that Mrs. Bai has encountered something strange. Some people want to kill people without knowing it. Mrs. Bai either knows something secret, or blocks the way of others, and it may happen that things happen. It's just these few days. Madam can't speak now, Mama Cheng is serving Madam personally, it would be best if she can think of something."

Mother Cheng's eyes were red, and she wiped her tears quietly, "Old Nubai has grown up for so many years, and he is a bit overwhelmed. He can't think of anything for a while, but this old slave will definitely think about it carefully, don't worry, sir."

Lu Li nodded, "The attacker has not achieved his goal, and I'm afraid there is still action. The safety of the wife is the most important thing. Mom should cheer up and serve carefully."

Mother Cheng put down her handkerchief, her eyes covered by wrinkles were full of fighting spirit, "Don't worry, sir, from today onwards, this old servant will not leave Madam one step!"

……

The two talked about some things about Baifu.Cheng's mother was very surprised. Lu Li asked about unimportant things, such as manpower arrangement, shift time, who is in charge, what kind of quarrels have the family members had recently, who won and who lost, etc. How did the guests behave? General, trivial and complicated, and so on.Although Cheng's mother didn't understand, she told the truth. She really hoped that Lu Li could find out the result as soon as possible.

While talking, the time passed quickly, and when Shen Wansha picked up the fourth cup of tea and Zhao Zhu's eyes were about to pop out, Bai Xu came.

As soon as you come, you can give a big gift, "Mr. Lao has waited for a long time, I am really ashamed, please don't blame me."

Lu Li looked at the young man in front of him, who was the same age as himself. He had experienced such a storm, his eyes were clear and his expression was firm. He was a good boy with a heart. I want you to carry it."

He helped the person up.

Bo Xu's voice was choked with sobs, "My father died tragically and my mother was murdered. My husband offered to help me. He wanted to make my father die in peace. My mother comforted me. Such a kindness is hard to repay in this life... I know gold and silver are common things, and it is hard to repay a kindness, but Now all I can take out are these vulgar things, if you don't mind..." He handed over a box, "Please accept it, sir."

The young man's expression was a little uneasy, and his eyes were a little embarrassed. He probably really felt that vulgar things were not good enough for him, but he didn't have much, and he felt uneasy if he didn't give anything. Maybe he was a little worried that he wouldn't do his best to investigate the case... …

This black lacquered box is probably filled with silver bills.

Lu Li sighed lightly, took the box, and reassured the young man, "You and my father are friends, so we don't have to be so distinguished. It's just that now is not the time to talk about old things, so you take me to see Master Bai's body first. "

"Yes," Bo Xu wanted to know about his father and Lu Li's father, but he also knew that the time was wrong. Lu Li was the coordinator, and the investigation required an autopsy first. Although it disturbed his father's long sleep, it only took a little time, and his father should be able to forgive him. .He turned around and wiped away his tears, and pointed the direction, "Brother Lu, please—"

The author has something to say: Shen Wansha: The golden little oak must be very cute and cute! ~(≧▽≦)/~Zhaixing: Only those who are covered in silver are the beauties! ←_←

Prince: With thick iron chains all over his body and white and tender skin, only my concubine Li is the most pleasing to the eye (?﹃?)

Xing Zuo: My lord, hurry up and pick up the mud! Σ(°△°|||)

Hong You: He was actually very worried that the prince would be attacked by iron chains... =___=
