Steward Liu, what’s going on?”
Zhu Pingan slowly came to Steward Liu’s side, slightly raised his eyebrows, and softly inquired in a feignedly curious voice.
“Little Lord Zhu.”Steward Liu bowed to Zhu Pingan and then said with a shameful face, “Ai, Mister Liu’s management was incompetent, I didn’t expect such a mess to happen, letting Lord Xiao Zhu see you laugh ……”
Then, Steward Liu recapitulated the beginning and end of the matter.
The matter originated from the day before yesterday, the mansion unified to the new into the mansion of the maids of honor each reward a silk cloth, Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng their new into the mansion of the maids of honor all from the treasury received a reward silk cloth, which Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng receive silk cloth are peach blossom pattern, other maids of honor to receive the silk cloth is other patterns.
Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng and the other six maids were in a room, and the silk cloths they received were locked in a cabinet in the room. The cabinet was shared by the maids and there were two keys, one held by Zhang Xiyue and one held by Li Cai Feng.
Today, at noon, the Siyi Depot uniformly measured the ladies-in-waiting to make clothes, and the ladies-in-waiting agreed to use the rewarded silk cloth to ask the Siyi Depot to make an extra one. When they opened the cupboard to get the silk cloth, they found that only one of the silk cloths with peach blossom pattern was left in the cupboard, and the other one had disappeared.
The lock was intact, and there was no sign that the cabinet had been pried open, so there was only one possibility – someone had used the key to open the cabinet and take away the peach blossom pattern silk cloth.
Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng both said that the remaining silk cloth was theirs, accusing the other party of using the key to open the cabinet and stealing the other peach blossom pattern silk cloth. Both sides argued and argued, and both had several pumps to testify on their behalf.
In the end, it came to Steward Liu.
That’s how the scene in front of us happened.
“Hey, the silk cloths that the two of them received were both peach blossom patterned, and there were only two keys to the cabinet, which happened to be kept by the two of them. The lock was intact, and the cabinet had no signs of being pried, so it could only be that one of the two of them used the key to open the cabinet and take the silk cloth. However, I let someone asked the second door and the gate guards, these two sweets have not seen someone with the silk cloth out. Mister Liu is really at a loss ……”
Steward Liu frowned and shook his head bitterly, at a loss.
“Oh, that’s so.”Zhu Pingan slowly nodded.
“Steward Liu, old me ……”
Right at this moment, a woman’s voice came from the entrance of the West Courtyard, followed by an old Sister walking out quickly.
Upon seeing Zhu Pingan, the old Sister confessed and bowed. Zhu Pingan smiled and waved his hand, signalling that there was no harm.
“Just now, I went to their rooms and searched their baggage boxes and cages as you instructed, Steward Liu, and did not find the missing silk cloth.”Old Sister came to Steward Liu’s side and said in a low voice.
The stolen goods were not searched, another effort declared a failure.
After hearing the old Sister’s reply, Steward Liu’s brows furrowed even more, how else could this case be concluded.
“Sir Zhu.”
At this time, a subordinate officer passed by from here, heading out of the mansion, and greeted Zhu Pingan as he passed by.
“Steward Liu, this case has to be closed quickly, people come and go here, how bad is it to see the impact.”
Zhu Pingan took the opportunity to remind Steward Liu after that official left.
“Little Lord Zhu, I also want to close the case, just how can this case be closed ah ……”Steward Liu had a face wrinkled into a bitter melon, shaking his head and pouring out a bunch of bitter water to Zhu Pingan, “The silk cloths that both of them received were peach blossom patterned, and only two of them had the keys to the room cabinets, and both of them had people to testify for them ……”
One way to solve the case is blocked, in the view of Steward Liu, this silk cloth case has no solution and will become a headless case.
To tell the truth.
The maids present all shared Steward Liu’s opinion as well, feeling that this was going to become another muddled case.
“It’s actually not difficult ……”
Zhu Pingan slightly tugged at the corner of his lips, revealing a smile of confidence, and said softly to Steward Liu.
What?
It’s not difficult, Lord Zhu said it’s not difficult.
When Steward Liu heard this, he first opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then looked at Zhu Pingan in delight.
Little Lord Zhu is Little Lord Zhu, so many of us have been racking our brains for a noon and are at a loss, but Little Lord Zhu just listened to me and had a solution, no wonder Little Lord Zhu has become a fifth grade officer at such a young age.
At this moment, Zhu Pingan’s image rose ten thousand feet in the eyes of Steward Liu.
The maids present also looked up curiously at Zhu Pingan, and in their hearts they all reviewed themselves, it’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover, this little Lord Zhu looks simple and thick, but he didn’t expect to be so powerful. In their eyes, at this moment, Zhu Pingan seemed to have transformed into a Zhu Geliang with a feathered fan.
“Please also ask Lord Xiao Zhu for more guidance.”Steward Liu busily bowed to Zhu Pingan and said.
“Hehe, since we can’t solve the problem, then we might as well think differently, solve the person who raised the problem, and the problem won’t be gone ……”Zhu Pingan narrowed his eyes and smiled back.
Huh?
Steward Liu, who was full of anticipation, heard this and was directly stumped into a half log by Zhu Pingan’s approach.
Resolving the person who raised the question?
The maids present were startled and looked at Zhu Pingan like a bunch of rabbits trembling.
“Hehe, just kidding.”Zhu Pingan laughed.
“Little Lord Zhu ……”Steward Liu cried and laughed as he looked towards Zhu Pingan.
“Alright, back to the topic.”Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked around the crowd, paused for a moment on each of the innocent maid Zhang Xiyue and the flirtatious maid Li Caifeng, and slowly said, “Since you all said that this silk cloth is your own, and there are people to testify on your behalf, and no one has seen you stealing the silk cloth, and in addition does not rule out that there is a third person who took advantage of your inattentiveness to steal your key andOpened the cupboard and stole the silk cloth. ……I think it’s better this way, Liu steward, please find someone to cut this silk cloth from the middle, split into two. The two of you each have half of the silk cloth, so it’s okay.”
This is fine?
Steward Liu heard the words, froze for a moment, in his heart there was a feeling of disappointment, he had thought that Zhu Pingan would propose a way to enlighten himself, but he had not thought that it would be such a way to make peace, the difference was too great, there was some disappointment, but after thinking for a moment, Steward Liu nodded his head again.
This is indeed feasible, in a desperate situation, so is not a good way to solve the problem.
Well.
To put things at rest.
The more Steward Liu thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, so according to Zhu Pingan’s instructions, he had the silk cloth split into two with scissors, half of it was given to the innocent maid Zhang Xiyue, and half of it was given to the charming maid Li Caifeng.
Thus, the case was closed.
Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng had to each take half of the silk cloth to go back, the ladies-in-waiting rolled their eyes on the way back, originally thought it was a Zhu Geliang, didn’t expect to guess the right beginning, turned out to be just a pig!
“This case is finally closed, thank you Sir Zhu.”Steward Liu thanked Zhu Pingan after the maids left.
“Finished?”
Zhu Pingan could not help but laugh.
“Huh?”
Steward Liu was flabbergasted again, what did it mean, what was wrong with Lord Zhu?
“Steward Liu you separate them and arrange them to do work in different places, then have people observe them separately and secretly, the sad and angry one is the owner of the silk cloth, the happy one will be arrested ……”
Zhu Pingan patted Steward Liu’s shoulder and said faintly, then turned around and walked away, hiding his work deeply.
Steward Liu’s body shook at the words.
Instantly
He was enlightened.
He turned around fiercely, and then only saw Zhu Pingan’s distant back, so magnificent and unpredictable under the light of the gaze.
