"Chen Xiaobei, you bastard, do you still want to regret it?" A shout suddenly came from the door.
Hearing this shout, everyone quickly looked towards the door, and it was Liu Rumei's personal maid Xiao Qing who came. Xiao Qing rushed to Chen Xiaobei angrily, with her hands on her hips.
"Chen Xiaobei, the emperor has granted me a marriage, do you want to resist? Where do you want my young lady to put her face? Do you want to make my young lady angry to death?"
Liu Kai's face darkened, "Xiao Qing, please don't be rude to me."
Xiaoqing looked at Chen Xiaobei to see everyone present, "My young lady said that since the emperor granted marriage, he is willing to serve Chen Xiaobei for the rest of his life. I was originally sent to deliver a message to Chen Xiaobei. He I wanted to accompany Chen Xiaobei to escort Huang Ying's coffin back to Hetou Village, but I didn't expect to meet such a heartless person like you..."
Being scolded by Xiaoqing, Chen Xiaobei was speechless.
At this moment, he was speechless and couldn't explain clearly. It would be better to just shut up.
On the other hand, Cui Hongyu couldn't stand it anymore. She took a step forward and said to Xiao Qing without being humble or condescending, "Escorting Huang Ying is our housework, so I won't bother Miss Liu. You go back and tell Miss Liu. An Xin is waiting at home until I know. Brother Bei just came to propose marriage."
After saying this, Shen Ziyan and the Lotus Cult Leader beside him came to their senses instantly and stepped forward to help.
"Yes, yes, you go back and tell Miss Liu to wait at home. This is our housework, so we won't bother her."
When Liu Kai saw Xiao Qing, his face flushed with anxiety. He stood up again and clasped his fists at everyone, "Logically speaking, I'm just a servant. I shouldn't talk about these things. But since the emperor has granted marriage, then Miss Liu and You are all a family, and since we are a family, there is no need to distinguish between you and me."
It seemed reasonable to say so. Everyone's eyes naturally turned to Chen Xiaobei, and Chen Xiaobei had to make the decision on everything.
Chen Xiaobei did not speak in a hurry. He paused and then looked at Liu Kai, "Old housekeeper, please go back and tell Miss Liu so that she can settle the old Marquis first, and we will talk about the rest slowly."
After listening to his words, Liu Kai had a bitter look on his face, "I'm afraid I don't know yet, but the emperor has issued an imperial edict, asking my Marquis to go to Xiangguo Temple to become a monk and not to see pilgrims again."
After hearing this, everyone at the scene looked at me and I looked at you. Obviously no one expected that the emperor would be so cruel.
Cutting off his hair and becoming a monk meant that all the glory Liu Xiangnan had was gone. If Liu Rumei was given a marriage to a mountain villager, the Liu family would fall apart. In addition, Liu Yuanwen was just a weak scholar, and the Liu family, which was once a very popular minister, disappeared.
After hearing these words, Chen Xiaobei also sighed for a while. He didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel, but thinking about it, it was his suggestion to Liu Kai to cut off his hair and become a monk. Now it seems that he was a bit prescient by mistake.
"Okay, if that's the case, then go back and tell Miss Liu to get ready. We will return to Hetou Village tomorrow."
Before Liu Kai could speak, the Lotus Cult Leader next to him spoke first, "No, we can't leave yet tomorrow."
Everyone looked at him in surprise, and the Lotus Leader continued, "If the murderer is not found, I will not leave Wannian City for a day. If you want to leave, you can leave."
Chen Xiaobei stepped forward and whispered, "Senior Sister, this matter must not be made public. Even if we want to track down the murderer, we must keep a low profile. There is no such thing as a big fanfare."
Shen Ziyan was advising in a low voice, "Yes, senior sister, Chen Xiaobei is right, we should be more cautious, otherwise the murderer would have been scared away if we heard the news."
At this time, Liu Kai took over the conversation and said, "What the leader said makes sense. I wonder what I can do to help?"
The Lotus Master did not shy away from this, and waved to the disciple Jasmine next to him, who immediately took the pair of shoes over.
"These are the shoes worn by the murderer. Please help me take a look."
Liu Kai took the shoes and looked at them, he frowned and said. "This is an ordinary pair of shoes, but it can be seen that the wear and tear is not serious. I have not wanted to buy it for a long time. I think it is better to send someone to search for it in every shoe store to see if they can find similar shoes."
Hearing these words, the eyes of the Lotus Cult Leader lit up, and she gave a thumbs up to Liu Kai, "What the old housekeeper said makes sense, I will send someone to look for him right now."
Unexpectedly, Liu Kai turned his head and looked at Liu Tie and Liu Ce, "Although my Liu family has lost power, it is still somewhat thin in the capital. Leave this matter to us."
The Lotus Master wanted to speak again, but Chen Xiaobei stopped him, "Sister, let Butler Liu do it. After all, they are more familiar with the capital. If we find any clues, it will not be too late for us to pursue them."
Liu Kai separated a pair of shoes and gave one to each of Liu Tie and Liu Ce.
"You two take the shoes and go look for them separately. You must find out which shoe store these are from."
After sending the two of them out, Liu Kai clasped his fists again and said, "Uncle, this inn is too crowded and there is no room for so many people. Do you want to rest at our house?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "We are all mourners, so we won't go to Liu's house. Just go back and take good care of Miss Liu."
After all the hard talk, Liu Kai was finally persuaded to leave.
After Liu Kai left, Shen Ziyan stepped forward and bowed to Chen Xiaobei.
"Senior sister and I were too impulsive just now, and I really can't help it."
After that, he looked at the leader of the Lotus. The leader of the Lotus was a face-saving person. Naturally, she couldn't apologize to Chen Xiaobei in front of so many gang members, but he still gave in because of his kindness.
"It's all my fault for not asking the question clearly. No one should mention this matter again."
After speaking, he looked at Chen Xiaobei and said, "I don't think it's better than this. Tomorrow you escort my junior sister back to Hetou Village. I will stay to find out the truth and avenge my junior sister."
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and nodded slightly, "That's fine, just follow what you said, but you must not be impulsive and think more carefully when things happen."
Soon, the sun was in the west and the day was over.
Liu Kai is here again.
Behind him followed a dozen servants, each carrying two food boxes in their hands.
This is to deliver food to Chen Xiaobei and the others.
"Uncle, you have been tired for a long day. Let's eat something first."
Before Chen Xiaobei could speak, the Lotus Cult Master next to him rushed up first and asked impatiently, "Old housekeeper, can you find any clues about the shoes?"
Liu Kai looked around and said, "I did some research. I will explain it to the leader later."
How can Master Lotus wait? She took Liu Kai's arm and dragged her into the room, "Oh, tell me now. Let's go to the room to talk."
This action made Liu Kai's face turn red. He hurriedly took a step back and broke away from the leader of Lotus. "Master, don't be anxious. Let me put the food on the table for my uncle."
