Mr. Qi had doubts. Could it be fake wine? Although I didn't taste it, when I opened the wine glass just now, it was clear that the wine had a strong aroma and was not fake.
Xiao Lezi had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that the fairy wine tasted stronger than usual, a little spicy and choking. There was no rumor that a glass of it would make people enchanted. situation.
Xiao Lezi blushed slightly and licked his lips, thinking that such an expensive thing, although Master Qi rewarded me, no, he punished me to drink it, but it cannot be wasted.
Xiao Lezi was very happy and said subconsciously: "As expected of the fairy wine, good stuff, strong enough."
Master Qi was shocked when he heard what Xiao Lezi said. He didn't even dare to drink the entire cup.
Master Qi walked up to Xiao Lezi and said, "Have you finished your glass?"
Xiaolezi nodded.
Master Qi asked: "Is there anything strange?"
Xiao Lezi thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
Mr. Qi's eyes shone: "What's strange?"
Xiao Lezi said: "My face feels a little hot, and my body feels warm."
Mr. Qi frowned and asked, "Are you feeling dizzy and uncontrollable in your thinking?"
Xiao Lezi shook his head and said: "Sir, not only is he not dizzy, he also feels very energetic. He even feels that the pain on his body has been relieved."
Xiao Lezi said so excitedly that he didn't notice Master Qi's expression as if he had eaten a fly.
One hundred thousand dollars a cup of fairy wine. Not only did I not make any mistakes, but it also made Xiao Lezi excited. Why did I think of letting Xiao Lezi drink the fairy wine?
There is nothing you can do with so much money. Without a housekeeper, you will lose money again.
Master Qi was very helpless and was thinking about what to do with Xiao Lezi, when Wu Shi walked slowly over.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Lezi exchanged glances and nodded secretly.
Wu said: "My lord, don't worry, maybe Butler Wang's little fun doesn't know about it."
"Let me ask him and I will know."
Wu looked at Xiao Lezi and said, "Steward Wang worked hard in the house for many years and was my right-hand man. Now he has died for no apparent reason, and you are the one who lived in the same house with him."
Xiao Lezi was in a panic. Although he had just drank, his life was at stake, and Xiao Lezi did not dare to make it up.
The look in Xiao Cui's eyes just now was clearly reassuring, telling him not to worry. Madam was there for everything, but why did she feel that Madam was more serious than Mr. Qi?
Wu continued: "Although you are the most suspicious, Mr. Qi is well-read in poetry and books, and he is sensible. He will not wrongly accuse a good person, let alone let a bad person go."
"If I ask you next, answer truthfully."
Xiao Lezi glanced at Xiao Cui, calmed down, and said, "Yes, madam."
Wu nodded and asked, "You said that last night when you saw Butler Wang tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he said a lot of things to you. Please tell the truth."
Xiao Lezi said: "After Butler Wang woke me up last night, he told me to run away quickly."
Mr. Qi frowned and asked: "Escape? What are you running for? Someone wants to kill him?"
Xiao Lezi nodded and said, "Butler Wang said that you deceived the Holy King, my lord. Although you have been forgiven by the emperor and you should have kept to yourself, you still wanted to hold a grand banquet to marry your wife in a high-profile manner."
"Steward Wang is deeply uneasy. He is afraid that this action will offend the emperor, bring stigma to him, and lead to the crime of ransacking the house. Therefore, he wants to escape at night to protect himself."
The more Master Qi listened, the angrier he became. Before Xiao Lezi could finish what he said, he slapped his palm on the table and cursed: "How bold, what nonsense."
"Although Steward Wang is dead, he cannot tolerate your spreading rumors and spreading dirty water."
"You and Butler Wang were the only ones in the same room last night. There was no one else around. You can say some slanderous words as much as you like."
"Come here, let me drag you down with me."
"Wait a minute." Wu said. "My lord, I'm sorry. It's not too late to hear what Xiao Yuezi has to say."
Xiao Lezi continued: "My lord, I think that Butler Wang has worked hard for many years, worked hard and kept the Qi Mansion in order, and it is all due to Butler Wang's ability."
Master Qi said: "Isn't it?"
Xiao Lezi said with tears in her eyes: "You don't know, sir. Every month when you receive the monthly payment, you have to pay a "filial piety donation" to Butler Wang. It's called clothing damage fee, but it's actually the protection fee set by Butler Wang. , This is already an unwritten rule in Qi Mansion."
Master Qi said in shock: "Is there such a thing?"
Xiao Lezi said: "Sir, do you know that Butler Wang has escaped, but who will he go to?"
Master Qi asked: "Who are you going to defect to?"
Xiao Lezi said: "It's Huai Guzi, the banished immortal who wants to defect to Shang Jun's villa."
"Steward Wang clearly knows that Huaiguzi is responsible for your humiliation, yet he is still so ungrateful."
Master Qi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xiao Lezi said: "Sir, please think about it. When people from the Internal Affairs Bureau came to investigate, Butler Wang claimed to be sick and took leave."
"Although Huaiguzi actively gave you advice before Huaiguzi came, when Huaiguzi brought people here, he excused himself from feeling unwell and did not show up." Chinese website
"Aren't you just afraid that the matter will be exposed and you will be accused of being an accomplice?"
"If you think about it, Butler Wang is not only ungrateful, but also greedy for life and afraid of death."
Mr. Qi slammed the table and stood up angrily: "This is really unreasonable."
After drinking, Xiao Lezi seemed to be emboldened. He didn't even look at the adults' faces and wanted to say something happy.
Xiao Lezi continued: "If Mr. Qi doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check out the wine shop in the northernmost part of the West Market. Although it is the property of Shangjun Courtyard, Butler Wang also has a stake in it. His intentions are clear."
Mr. Qi sighed and said to himself: "I treat you well, but you betray me like this."
Wu Shi also wanted to lick the firewood again, looked at Xiao Lezi and asked: "You said you went out on an excuse last night and didn't come back. When did you go out, why did you go out on an excuse?"
Xiao Lezi thought for a moment and said, "About when I was ugly."
"I come from a peasant family. Although I have little education, I know that the servant is loyal. Your Excellency is knowledgeable and values etiquette above all else. I have always admired him."
When they heard Xiao Lezi saying that etiquette is the most important thing, Mr. Qi and Mr. Wu looked at each other and blushed.
"And he is considerate of his servants. He treats me well and can serve you. I am grateful before it is too late. How can I judge the master with Butler Wang?"
"When I learned what Butler Wang was thinking, I was shocked and frightened. I didn't dare to contradict Butler Wang, and I couldn't go along with him, so I took the opportunity to clean the toilet and went out and slept in the corner of the courtyard for the night."
After hearing this, Wu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sir, according to the medical officer, Butler Wang's death time was probably Yin Shi. It seems that Xiao Lezi was not here at that time."
Master Qi nodded.
Wu said to the servant next to him: "Call in the handyman who cleans the yard in the morning."
After the handyman arrived, he knelt on the ground.
Wu asked: "Did you have any fun while cleaning this morning?"
The handyman nodded and said: "Back to Madam, I saw that Xiao Lezi was cleaning this morning, and suddenly Xiao Lezi walked out of the corner next to the toilet, still bleary-eyed."
"And he complained that I woke him up."
Master Qi nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a servant ran in and said in a panic: "Sir, the people from the Neishi Mansion are here."
