"Master, no one has interacted with the eldest lady in the house recently, and nothing unusual has happened. Do you think we should continue to observe?"
In the study, a slave only reported in a low voice what he had seen in the past few days.
However, Zhu Yuewu obviously didn't want to hear this. He looked at the slave with a cold face, and then looked at the group of cronies who had been following him for so many years.
To be honest, he really didn't want to treat these people as a bunch of trash, but this time he clearly told himself that he had raised a bunch of trash for so many years.
Can you believe that a group of guards were supposed to guard the master, but in the end they couldn't even recognize their master, and even beat him up because they couldn't recognize his master?
Can you believe that a group of followers allowed their master to be kidnapped, and that a group of losers couldn't find their master after searching all night, and now they only made their master lie in the wilderness all night?
So with this group of losers as a foil, now he can only think that the spy who has been placed in the outer courtyard of the east chamber can't believe it.
At that moment, he just said with a cold face, "Are you sure this is what you saw? Do you dare to say that there is really nothing wrong with her, Lu Fanghui?"
The spy felt a little innocent when he heard his master's words. He only whispered, "Master, I really can't find anything wrong with her. If you don't believe me, you can send someone else to follow her. In this way, you will know whether what I say is true or false.”
The spy's original intention in saying this was to show how innocent he was, but to Zhu Yuewu's ears, these words sounded like an insult to himself.
Therefore, he immediately said angrily, "Do you think I dare not? Since you can't find anything wrong with her, then get out of here! I don't want to keep useless trash here!"
Hearing Zhu Yuewu's anger, the attendant immediately did not dare to say a word, and the other people who were called in together naturally did not dare to say a word. They were all like quails, but they seemed to be afraid of being killed because of themselves. It attracted Zhu Yuewu's attention.
It's a pity that they are crowded in Zhu Yuewu's room. Everyone is so big. How could Zhu Yuewu not see their existence?
Therefore, when Zhu Yuewu realized that there was still such a group of trash in his room, he immediately said to the group of people, "And you? You'd better get out of here!"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, everyone was even more angry and did not dare to speak out.
Finally, the spy who was questioned just now thought of a very important thing.
"Master, I remembered! I remembered something very important."
After hearing what the spy said, Zhu Yuewu stopped getting angry this time. He just said coldly to the spy, "Say."
Then the spy immediately told Zhu Yuewu what he had seen.
"Master, although it is true that no one entered Miss Lu's room, and there were no suspicious people coming and going, my servant also discovered something unusual."
After hearing what the man said, Zhu Yuewu immediately said, "Go on."
"The young master should also know that there are always four servants in Miss Lu's house. Except for Xiao Man who was asked to stay in her house by the young master, she also has three servants."
"But starting yesterday, the servant suddenly discovered that there were only two people left in her room. The two people besides Liu Ping'an were Yue'e. There was also a maid named Ji Xiang among them. I haven't seen her from morning to today. .”
When he said this, the spy did not really regard this news as anything very important.
After all, he has always been at the outermost edge of the East Chamber. He actually doesn't know the situation in the inner courtyard, so he can't guarantee that Jixiang must not be in this house if he doesn't appear.
He couldn't even guarantee that his information was accurate.
But nothing is more important now than dealing with Zhu Yuewu.
After all, he also heard about Zhu Yuewu’s experience yesterday.
, this second young master is not an easy person to talk to. Those losers made the second young master so angry. He didn't want to be the target of his anger, and he couldn't bear the second young master's anger.
Therefore, he casually said something now. It would be serious to wait for the second young master to express his bad temper. As for whether the second young master will be angry with him afterwards, that will be a matter later.
Although the spy only regarded this matter as a delaying strategy to prevent Zhu Yuewu's wrath.
However, his words still made Zhu Yuewu feel a glimmer of hope, and a look of interest immediately appeared in his eyes.
"You mean there's someone missing from her room? Where did that person go?"
It can be seen that Zhu Yuewu is obviously interested in this.
For a moment, the spy didn't know what to do. After all, he just said it casually. Because he felt it was of no value, he didn't even continue to inquire whether the girl was there.
Now that the young master is asking this, how dare he let Zhu Yuewu have any higher expectations for this matter.
So he immediately said, "I don't know that, I just observed this phenomenon. As for whether the girl is in the courtyard, I actually can't tell. After all, I am not from the inner courtyard." "
However, Zhu Yuewu was obviously not interested in his verbose nonsense. He just said to the spy immediately, "Okay! Stop talking nonsense. Now that you have found this clue, hurry up and give it to me." Ask to see if her maid is still in her room, and the most important thing is, you must ask me clearly, if she is not here, then why is she not here, and what is she? Where did she go? Did she go out alone or with others? Does she have any other information? "
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's nonsense, the spy could only say yes.
Then the spy left in a hurry.
Zhu Yuewu didn't care much about the spy's departure.
And precisely because of this news about him, his anger towards the other two groups became much lighter.
But those who deserve punishment must still be punished. After all, if it weren't for this group of trash, he wouldn't have been in such a mess yesterday, and maybe he wouldn't have failed the mission.
So after he sent the spy away, he just looked at the guard and the two groups of followers with a cold face.
"I don't want to explain any more to you. I only want to say one thing to you. You have lost this month's monthly salary, and I will reduce the monthly salary in half in half. After all, I don't support idle people here, unless You will make meritorious service next time. Otherwise, this monthly salary will only be given to you."
After saying this, Zhu Yuewu then said, "If you have any objections to my punishment, just get out of here. I don't need waste here!"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, although many people frowned when they heard that their monthly salary was reduced by half. But they were just a bunch of blind idlers. If it weren't for Zhu Yuewu, they would have been living on the streets, so it was better than nothing.
Although everyone was very reluctant, they still did not dare to say anything in front of Zhu Yuewu. Some of them even took the initiative and said to Zhu Yuewu, "Master, how dare we have any opinions? We were really stupid yesterday. Don't worry." , with the lessons learned yesterday, we will never dare to make the same mistake as yesterday again. So please calm down, as long as we have a mission, we will still follow you, young master!"
After hearing what the man said, Zhu Yuewu just said coldly, "Okay, I understand, you can go down."
Although it sounded like Zhu Yuewu still didn't appreciate their kindness, he did not continue to scold him, which meant that Zhu Yuewu had actually lost most of his anger.
Knowing that Zhu Yuewu was no longer angry, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
The spy on the other side also hurried to the outer courtyard of the east chamber after leaving Zhu Yuewu's place.
At this time, a group of slaves in the outer courtyard were busy cleaning the bamboo forest, while others were busy cleaning the yard and decorating it with lanterns.
People were busy and full of joy.
It seems that the entire east wing clearly looks like something good is about to happen.
When the spy returned to the outer courtyard, there happened to be a steward who was just arranging personnel. He just shouted loudly, "Which of you is willing to go to the inner courtyard to do some heavy work and move some things?"
After hearing what the steward said, it was obvious that no one was willing to take the initiative.
After all, there were not many men in the inner courtyard, and most of the work involved was heavy and physical work. Moreover, the group of girls in the inner courtyard looked down upon them and only treated people as slaves, even though they themselves were also slaves.
Who would want to do it if they couldn't paddle and were looked down upon by others? So when they heard the steward's words, the people who were already working immediately pretended to work harder, and everyone almost ignored the steward's words. .
The manager became a little angry when he saw this group of people, but he couldn't find fault with these people, so he could only suppress his anger and said, "Okay, since you don't say anything, then I will pick the people myself." .”
However, just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly raised his hand high and said, "Boss, I happen to have no work to do. I am willing to go in and help my sisters."
After hearing the man's words, the steward couldn't help but look at the man with satisfaction, and then found out that the other person was the spy. The steward just said, "I'm very pleased that you can take the initiative to go there, but I also have to treat the ugly man." I’ve told you before, don’t even think about going in with any crooked ideas, otherwise you’ll be caught and I won’t be able to protect you.”
It turns out that this spy has always had a bad reputation. He usually likes to be lazy, and he also likes to tease little girls. In addition, his hands and feet are not very clean, so the manager is also afraid that this boy will cause something new.
When the spy heard the steward's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Steward, where did you think of me? Don't I also want to work well?"
