Listening to Uncle De's questioning, the servants and maids below also became bold and began to murmur.
"That's right, Yan Qi is just an outsider, we are the Peng family's own, why should he dictate to us."
"Uncle De's words make sense. Even if the mole is found, Uncle De should be the one to do it. After all, Uncle De is the big housekeeper."
"Yan Qi takes himself too seriously. Is the feeling of giving orders that good?"
…
Yan Qi listened to everyone's slander and was not in a hurry. He said slowly: "It seems that you are not convinced that I interfere in the affairs of the Peng family."
Uncle De said righteously: "It's not that I'm not convinced, but that there is a more suitable candidate."
Yan Qidao: "Who is more suitable? Uncle De, don't you want to recommend yourself?"
Uncle De spoke righteously: "I have been the housekeeper of the Peng family for more than ten years. It is quite normal for me to take charge of the affairs of the Peng family. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
Peng Hu on the other side also muttered in embarrassment: "Mr. Yan, Uncle De is very good and very responsible. I think it's quite appropriate for Uncle De to be in charge of affairs."
Yan Qi glared at Peng Hu.
"Yes, yes, just pretend I didn't say anything." Peng Hu suppressed his words.
The servants were talking a lot.
"Uncle De is a highly respected person, so he is indeed suitable."
"Listen to Uncle De."
"Compared with Mr. Yan and Uncle De, Uncle De is naturally more appropriate."
…
Uncle De listened to everyone's remarks and looked at Yan Qi: "Mr. Yan, did you hear that? I think it's better for me to host it."
Yan Qi chuckled: "I'm not busy, I'm not busy. Let me ask you a few words first. Who do you think is the biggest in this Peng family, except Mr. Peng?"
Everyone replied in unison: "Of course it's the mistress."
Yan Qi smiled: "Then let me ask you again, who is the mistress?"
"Wan Niang!"
"Can you listen to Wan Niang's words?"
"Of course I want to listen."
"very good!"
Yan Qi bowed her hands to Wan Niang: "Wan Niang, please say something."
Wan Niang Niao Na stood up and said to everyone: "You are all old people of the Peng family, and you are concerned about the life and death of the master. Now, the master has been killed and his life is at stake. However, the murderer cannot be found. How can we not make people worry? "
"Mr. Yan is smart and decisive. He is also my friend. He has the ability and responsibility to help me find the murderer. Moreover, when I was dying, I also entrusted the important task to Mr. Yan. Therefore, you must cooperate with Mr. Yan unconditionally now to find the murderer." Uncover the real murderer of the master."
When everyone heard Wan Niang recommending Yan Qi, they had nothing to say.
Although Wan Niang has only been here a few days, she has become the wife of Heaven and Earth with Lord Peng. The wife is the mistress. How dare everyone not listen to her words. "
Uncle De said: "Since the mistress has spoken, we just obey. However, I am very puzzled as to why Mr. Yan targeted us old people. What is the basis for this? Could it be that we loyal old people would Framing the master? This is not looking for trouble, so what is it? "
Yan Qi looked at Uncle De: "I invited Taoist Master Hai Wang to come here today and spent a lot of money out of sincerity. Do you know why? Is it just to prepare a dojo for Master Peng in advance?"
Uncle De frowned: "What's that for?"
Everyone also looked terrified.
Yan Qidao: "To tell you the truth, I asked Taoist Master Haiwang to come to Peng's house to ask him to catch the murderer who framed Mr. Peng. Haha, Taoist Master Haiwang is a Taoist mage with profound magical power. This investigation has already Tell me without a doubt that the murderer is hiding in Peng Mansion."
When everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all horrified.
Uncle De said loudly: "Master Yan, your talk is pure nonsense. Isn't it disturbing the morale of the army?"
Yan Qi looked at Uncle De: "Where is the nonsense?"
Uncle De said: "If Taoist Master Haiwang says something casually, we will take it seriously? Who knows if Taoist Master Haiwang is a liar?"
Yan Qi stared at Uncle De: "Then are you sure that Master Haiwang is a liar? What evidence do you have?"
"This..." Uncle De was speechless.
Yan Qi said again: "Taoist Master Haiwang is a master of Taoism. Even the government offices will ask Taoist Haiwang to come forward to cast spells. But I don't understand. Why does Uncle De think that Taoist Haiwang is a liar?"
Uncle De said: "What I mean is that what Master Haiwang said may not be correct. Maybe he just said it casually..."
Yan Qidao: "Then let's just assume that Master Haiwang didn't say it before? He is a Taoist master, how can he talk nonsense? Everyone, do you think Master Haiwang's words are not worthy of attention?"
Everyone also knows the reputation of Master Neptune.
"You can't say that. Master Neptune is quite powerful."
"Principal Poseidon is very moral. You should pay attention to what he says. It may not necessarily be true, but you should not take it lightly."
…
Yan Qi smiled and looked at Uncle De: "Listen, everyone agrees to take Taoist Master Haiwang's words seriously. What else does Uncle De have to say?"
Uncle De snorted: "You people actually believe in those mysterious things. It's just a trick of Master Haiwang to defraud money. Only a fool would believe it. In short, Mr. Yan, you can doubt as much as you like, but I won't believe it." .I am leaving."
Uncle De turned around and was about to go out.
However, the door is locked.
Uncle De asked Peng Hu: "Bring the key quickly."
Peng Hu got used to Uncle De's words and hurriedly looked for the key.
Yan Qi gave Peng Hu a hard look.
Peng Hu scratched his head, looked at Yan Qi, then at Uncle De, and then smiled: "Uncle De, just listen to Mr. Yan first, just for a while, just for a while."
"you……"
Uncle De came back angrily and glared at Yan Qi: "How could you do this to me? I am the old housekeeper of the Peng family. When the master is good, he would not be so disrespectful to me. Give me the key, I want to go out, I I won’t accompany you to make random suspicions.”
Yan Qi stared at Uncle De, put the key on the table, and sneered: "I put my words here. If anyone doesn't listen to me today and insists on coming out, he will be the murderer of Mr. Peng."
Uncle De was shocked: "Yan Qi, you..."
Yan Qi looked at Uncle De calmly: "If you insist on leaving, just go. You have such a tyrannical attitude and go against everyone else. If you are not the murderer, who will believe it? Just go, I think you dare Don’t you dare to walk out of this door?”
Uncle De suddenly withered.
Looking at the key lying there quietly, he wanted to reach out and grab it several times, but gritted his teeth, went back and sat down, and glared at Yan Qi: "You really made me lose my temper. You are so good, but you doubt one of your own. Tell me. , how on earth are you going to track down the murderer?"
Yan Qi pointed to the incense burner on the table: "This is the incense burner left to me by Master Haiwang. Do you know what kind of incense burner this is?"
"What incense burner?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.
The incense burner of Master Neptune must not be that simple, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that he has lost his reputation as Taoist Priest Poseidon?
