Standing in front of the Shangshu Mansion again, Xiao Changyang's mood was completely different from yesterday.
Just looking up at the plaque made him feel his ribs starting to hurt again.
"Sorry, I'm late." Yan Guan hurried over with a pen and paper.
Xiao Changyang glanced at him, but in the end said nothing, and went in with his own guards. Compared to yesterday, his momentum was much restrained today.
Yan Guan: "At four o'clock on the second day, Xiao Changyang was injured to investigate the case, but he still looked at the plaque of Shangshu Mansion for a long time. '
As soon as he entered the door this time, he saw Lin sitting upright in front of the hall and Yu Shixu, who looked relatively gentle.
Not seeing the person who beat him yesterday, Xiao Changyang breathed a sigh of relief.
These two people seem to be easy to talk to, so today should go smoothly, right? Although he thought so, he was actually not sure.
"Without further ado, let's get started." Xiao Changyang looked at Mrs. Lin and said with a serious face: "Madam, please call everyone in the house. I want to finish the things that I didn't test yesterday."
The little white beast in the guard's hand looked very excited, jumping back and forth in the golden cage. This abnormal behavior made Xiao Changyang more convinced that there was something fishy in the Shangshu Mansion.
He asked the guard to release Xiaotuanzi and scanned everyone in the hall sharply, trying to see some clues on their faces.
However, he was disappointed. Everyone looked at the white dumplings in his hand curiously as if they had seen something new, and from time to time they whispered to the people next to them.
Xiao Changyang could even hear their conversation:
"What is that? It's round."
"I don't know. I really want to touch these new gadgets from abroad..."
"Come on, come on, look, the man came over with the ball right away. Didn't you listen to what he said just now? Each of us can touch it."
Xiao Changyang's face turned dark, he was here to investigate the case! Can these people respect him?
This time he didn't dare to pick anyone anymore and started to walk directly to the first person in the front row.
"Hold out your hands," he said grimly.
It was a young maid, her face turned red with excitement, she held her hands together and stretched them out carefully.
Xiao Changyang put the dumpling on and saw that the dumpling had no reaction. The fur on his body was soft and lay motionless on the little girl's hand.
"Change to the next one," he said to his guard.
The guard stepped forward, took the dumpling from the little maid's hand, and walked towards the next person.
The little maid looked at the little dumpling with reluctant eyes, and whispered weakly: "Ah... just let it go for a little while?"
The person next to her had excited eyes, rubbed his hands excitedly, and muttered: "It's my turn...it's my turn..."
Xiao Changyang's forehead was throbbing with veins. No, what on earth did they think they were doing? Playing games?
Yan Guan stood by and held down his hands that were about to touch him, and wrote in his notebook: "Xiao Changyang had a friendly interaction with everyone in the Shangshu Mansion and conducted a gift-giving ceremony." '
Fortunately, Xiao Changyang was not curious to see what was recorded in this book, otherwise he would have been angry.
Just like that, the little dumpling was rolled in the hands of all the servants, but there was still no movement.
Xiao Changyang's face became more and more solemn. He looked at the more than a hundred people present, and was very suspicious that someone was being hidden.
After the servants have been inspected, it is time to inspect the master.
Xiao Changyang's guard took the dumplings and looked back at him, asking which one to start with.
Mainly because the young master's beating yesterday was still fresh in his mind, so the guards didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of becoming the next person to be beaten.
Xiao Changyang's eyes fell on the girl wearing light clothes and with a delicate face.
This one looks more honest, just her.
Bai Wanrou was caught off guard and was hit. She nervously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
"Miss, please extend your hand," the guard said seriously.
"Oh, okay."
Bai Wanrou stretched out her slender hands and looked at the hairy dumpling nervously.
The guard put the dumplings on, and the next second, her eyes widened slightly in surprise.
So soft, warm and cute! I really want to pinch it!
Thinking so, she did the same, pinching once or twice with her fingers...
Xiao Changyang's eyes widened and he shouted quickly, "Take the spirit beast back quickly, next one!"
The little hand rolled over Lin's and Yu Shixu's hands. Its soft and cute appearance easily captured Lin's heart. For some reason, the little beast nuzzled happily into Lin's palm.
Xiao Changyang suddenly became energetic, strode over in three or two steps, and looked at Mrs. Lin with scrutiny and suspicion.
"Why did it sit on your hand for so long?"
Something was wrong, something was obviously wrong.
The little medicine beast only reacts after smelling the same medicine, which means... these hands have come across the medicine that caused the girl's disfigurement.
Xiao Changyang's expression changed, and a thought emerged in his heart that this was indeed the case.
Just when he was about to tell the guards to take it down, he saw the medicine beast turn over again and licked the palm of Lin's hand happily.
The little beast's heart: It smells delicious, hehehe...
Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows in surprise, pursed her lips and smiled, "I just steamed a drawer of pastries for Juan Juan this morning. Did this little guy smell it?"
The guard asked at a loss, "Is this... considered a reaction or no reaction?"
Xiao Changyang: "..."
His face was a little red, but fortunately his skin tone was so heavy that it wasn't obvious when he pressed it down.
"Give it something to eat."
The guard took out some dried grass and fed it to Xiaotuanzi. After making sure that it was full, he carried it to Yu Quezhi's side.
Juan Juan was held in his arms by his second brother, tilting his head and looking at the little hair ball, extremely curious about this little thing.
She stretched out her chubby little hand and poked it, making a small pit in its fur.
The fur ball looked very happy, rubbing Curly's fingers affectionately, and making a pleasant sound of "嘤嘘" in his mouth.
This little guy who is not yet enlightened will instinctively move closer to people or things he feels comfortable with.
Seeing this happy scene of everyone making Xiao Changyang feel sour.
Xiao Changyang: I almost thought I was raising this medicine beast for you.
Seeing that everyone had been passed through, but the medicine beast still didn't respond, he was no longer calm.
"Let me remind you, if you cover up or hide the murderer, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Xiao Changyang said these words with great momentum, his majestic and scrutinizing gaze sweeping over everyone present inch by inch.
His guards had been following him since childhood, so they knew he was really angry when they saw him like this. They were all so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.
The servants of Shangshu Mansion were silenced for two seconds by his voice. Then, as if nothing had happened, everyone looked away and did whatever they needed to do, completely ignoring him.
