Wang Liu glanced at the servant and said nothing.
He just looked at Li Jiaxu who said nothing, looking at him with anger in his eyes, and the word haggard written all over his face.
Ye Qing, who was also looking at Li Jiaxu, clearly found out.
Except for Li, at the moment when Wang Liu said that the prefect ordered the investigation to be carried out, he put his flat hand on the armrest with some force, subconsciously grasped the armrest, and then quickly let go.
If he is really angry, he must be holding on to the armrest and not letting go.
However, his expression and breathing were normal, except for the momentary strangeness in his hands.
Ye Qing sighed in his heart: "As expected of an old fox."
After a few breaths.
Wang Liu put on a bitter smile, took a step forward and said, "Executive member Li, I can't help it. Liu Weikang is in trouble. All the cases he handled before have been reviewed by the prefect."
"This incident in your house has also been seen by the prefect. After all, it involves human lives and is of great importance. I have no choice but to bother you. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, the sullenness on Li Jiaxu's face disappeared, he sighed helplessly, and then he said to the servant: "Go down and prepare some tea."
"Yes Yes!"
The servant who was granted amnesty immediately clasped his fists, bowed, and left quickly.
Li Jiaxu continued: "Wang Liu, right? Sit down."
Then he glanced at Ye Qing, who was wearing ordinary clothes, and continued to look at Wang Liu without paying any attention.
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Wang Liu sat down.
Li Jiaxu stroked his beard, frowned slightly on his haggard face and asked:
"Tell me, how do you want to check?"
Wang Liu, who was sitting on the Huanghuali chair, moved his buttocks and said with a flattering smile:
"It's not how I want to check, but how you want me to check, Mr. Li."
While speaking, Wang Liu raised his right hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger, his face full of greed.
A kind smile appeared on Li Yuanwai's face, but Ye Qing saw a hint of contempt in his eyes.
He waved his hand and said politely: "I am not a member of the government, so how can I interfere in the investigation of the case?"
"It's true that the prince took the trouble to make this trip for the sake of my family. I'm very grateful. I bought some Nanyang Cabernet some time ago. It's very beautiful. When the prince is done with his work, I can take some with me. A member of the family."
Wang Liu, who was overjoyed, immediately stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, "Oh, I'm so embarrassed."
"Don't worry, I will investigate this case carefully. After reporting it to the government office, no one will bother Mr. Li again."
"Well, that's very good!" Li Jiaxu nodded with satisfaction, and then lamented: "Oh, pity me, I take so much care of her sister, but I didn't expect that beast to be jealous of her brother and commit such a murderous act. Evil things, my heart..."
Bang bang!
Li Jiaxu was heartbroken and beat himself hard on the heart.
The words were told to Wang Liu, and they were also meant to be recorded in the file as so-called 'facts' later!
Wang Liu hurriedly comforted him: "Mr. Li, I feel sorry for you. This person has passed away, but the living are like this. You must protect your body."
Before Li Jiaqi could say anything, Wang Liuchao said to Ye Qing: "Take my badge and ask the servants in the house. Every confession will be recorded in the book. Don't be negligent and do it quickly."
"Yes, Wang Li."
Ye Qing hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed. After receiving the Wang Liu Waist Card, he was about to turn around and leave.
"By the way, besides Mr. Li, please find someone you can trust to follow this guy."
Li Jiaxu's eyes flashed, he glanced at Wang Liu approvingly, and said to Ye Qing: "The official is still thoughtful. My house is quite big. If there is no one to take it with me, it will be bad if I accidentally get lost."
"Little brother, please go out and ask our butler Han Qi to guide you."
"Yes, I'm going to look for Butler Han right now." Ye Qing flattered Li Jiaxu, clasping his fists and bowing, and left quickly.
Li Jiaxu looked at Ye Qing's back and asked: "Wang Li, this little brother looks extraordinary, who is he?"
Wang Liu laughed and said casually: "He is the descendant of an old official in the execution room. That man is about to retire, and I want him to take over."
"This is not Liu Weikang's fault. There are too many cases to be reviewed. This murder case is a big one. The old official asked him to come over to help. Firstly, he wanted to get some credit for him in advance. Secondly, he wanted to build a good relationship with the other officials in the execution room. To avoid being squeezed out in the torture chamber in a few years."
The next moment, Wang Liu grinned and said: "He is really good-looking and honest. He will do whatever you ask him to do. He is quite obedient, so we can safely bring him to your house to learn more."
honest? obedient?
Li Jiaxu felt relieved, and then sighed:
"Hey, my poor son is too honest. When I think of my poor son, I feel so sad..."
Li Jiaxu, who was in great grief, grabbed the mourning clothes on his chest.
Hearing this, Wang Liu comforted Li Jiaxu again. At this time, the servant also came up with tea.
The two chatted one after another.
Wang Liu's main focus was to flatter him non-stop, while Li Jiaxu asked jokingly what happened in the government office.
Ye Qing walked out of the main hall and saw a middle-aged man with a goatee standing not far away.
The black brocade silk on his body was different from that of the servant, and there was a jade pendant hanging on his waist, which was extremely eye-catching.
Ye Qing took the waist card, quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists, bowed, and said timidly:
"Commander Li asked me to go find Butler Han. I wonder if you are free to show us the way."
"I am the housekeeper Han Qi." Han Qi took a look at Ye Qing, who had a gentle smile and looked harmless, but showed cowardice, and asked: "Why did the master want you to find me?"
Ye Qing clasped his fists and bowed again, showed Wang Liu's waist card, and said respectfully: "I met Butler Han, and the official Wang asked me to ask about those people involved in the case in the house, and record their confessions again. , let you take me with you so that I don’t get lost.”
Hearing this, Han Qi was relieved, but he did not look down on Ye Qing like a servant. Instead, he humbly bowed his hands to Ye Qing and said: "Then little brother, come with me."
"Thank you, Butler Han!"
Han Qi's humility made Ye Qing salute in a panic.
The shy and cowardly young man who didn't understand anything made Han Qi relax his vigilance towards Ye Qing.
The Li Mansion is truly as big as the servants and Li Jiaxu said.
Each of the six houses occupies a huge area and has a well-renovated garden, which is filled with rockeries and rocks and planted with lush flowers, plants and trees, which dazzles people's eyes and even obscures their sight.
Moreover, the corridors of each courtyard were half-built, and the rest of the way had to go through lush gardens.
If one is not good, he will really get lost.
This made Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Good guy, I was thinking that if I couldn't get into this yard when investigating a case, I would sneak in over the wall at night."
"If I really do that, I probably won't be able to walk two steps into the yard, and I will have to doubt my life."
However, the next moment, Ye Qing frowned.
He followed Han Qi through the Sanjin Courtyard, but he didn't see a single servant along the way.
Looking back at the time he entered Li's Mansion, he had met three people.
Member Li, Li Jiaxu, butler Han Qi, and the servant who opened the door and led the way.
Ye Qing rubbed his fingers and thought: "Is this to hide everyone to avoid contact with outsiders, so many people talk and say things they shouldn't?"
As if to confirm his conjecture.
After stepping into a relatively simple courtyard.
More than a dozen maids appeared in his eyes.
The pretty and charming maids were dressed in uniform pink cotton clothes, which made their faces look pink, making them look even more agile.
However, he looked frightened and looked haggard, which made people feel pitiful.
They were sitting on the lawn with sprouting green buds. The moment they saw Han Qi appear, they all stood up quickly and bowed to Han Qi in fear and awe.
"I've met Butler Han."
Then they all blinked their smart eyes and looked curiously at the handsome Ye Qing who was standing behind Han Qi.
