Chapter 888: Falling out is faster than turning over a book

Li Shui glanced at Xiao Lezi and found that his body was already shaking a little.

Li Shui coughed quickly to remind Li Xin and Zhao Teng.

Li Xin wondered: "Can't this kid drink a pot?"

Zhao Teng snorted: "I think it was a lie, but now it's revealed."

Xiao Lezi's consciousness was already a little unclear, and he seemed to be mumbling some nonsense.

Li Shui nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

Xiao Lezi closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "Xiao Lezi."

Li Shui continued to ask: "Did you see anyone the night before Butler Wang died?"

Xiao Lezi frowned, as if fighting against his subconscious, but finally said: "I've seen it."

The three of them were shocked, and there was finally some new progress.

Zhao Teng held his stomach and asked quickly: "Who is it?"

Xiao Lezi said: "Xiao Cui."

Li Shui frowned: "Xiao Cui?"

Zhao Teng thought for a while and said, "I remember, there is a maid named Xiaocui who works for the Wu family in the backyard of Qi Mansion."

Li Shui thought to himself: It's the Wu family again. Lord Qi's only child died inexplicably after getting married. Not long ago, the Wu family was pregnant with Lord Qi's child and made a fuss about it.

Now before Butler Wang died, Xiao Lezi met Wu's maid again.

Li Shui was well aware of the rules of the Qi Mansion. It was forbidden for servants to meet underground, let alone in the middle of the night.

Mr. Qi is familiar with poetry and books, and he is very particular about etiquette. Although he does not do well, it does not prevent him from disciplining his servants.

Xiao Lezi has been in Qi Mansion for a long time, so it is impossible that he does not know this rule.

Knowing that he would be severely punished if he was found out, he still met in private and even in the middle of the night. It is conceivable that the content of the conversation would be very important.

Zhao Teng continued to ask: "What did you all say?"

Xiao Lezi said in a daze: "Steward Wang wanted to take me with him, so he went to find Xiaocui without knowing it. Xiaocui told me to take the opportunity to go out to clean the toilet and not go back, so that Butler Wang wouldn't blame me.

.”

Li Shui nodded and thought: Xiao Cui is Wu's maid. Xiao Lezi was able to find Xiao Cui in the middle of the night and call her out. This must not be an easy matter, and the two of them must have met more than once.

As a maid in this deep house, Xiaocui is so scheming, it seems not simple.

Zhao Teng continued to ask: "Has Butler Wang been unusual after you returned?"

Xiao Lezi said: "No, I just said a few words because I thought I was taking too long."

Zhao Teng asked: "Have you ever gone back after cleaning the toilet?"

Xiao Lezi said: "No, I fell asleep in the corner."

Zhao Teng glanced at Li Shui. It seemed that Xiao Lezi had told the truth except that he had not told the truth about meeting Xiao Cui.

Zhao Teng said: "Could it be Xiao Cui who poisoned me?"

Li Shui whispered: "It's very possible, but even if it is really Xiaocui, he is not so bold as a maid. There must be someone behind it."

Zhao Teng stared and said, "You mean Ouspensky?"

Li Shui narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Li Shui is now very light, complicated, and uncomfortable.

Some time ago, Mr. Qi portrayed Ou as a model of crazy love in the newspaper, and Ou's act of keeping filial piety was praised by His Majesty, but now something like this has happened.

If it was really Wu Shi who was behind this, it would be a huge reversal. Not only would it slap Li Shui in the face, but it would also make His Majesty so embarrassed that he would not be able to come to power.

Li Shui was so angry that his teeth were itching, how could this Ousmane cause such trouble?

When Zhao Teng saw Li Shui's reaction at first, he thought Li Shui was thinking about the case. When he analyzed that Wu might be involved behind the scenes, Li Shui's frown deepened.

Zhao Teng has now come to his senses. The darker Li Shui's brows are, the happier Zhao Teng feels.

Because at the beginning, he strongly recommended the punishment of Mr. Qi and Wu Shi, but was spared by Li Shuijian. Now if it was really Wu Shi behind the scenes, Li Shui would be severely slapped in the face.

The more Zhao Teng thought about it, the happier he became: Huaiguzi, Huaiguzi, you also get slapped in the face sometimes. Although you come a little late, you are here anyway.

There is also Mr. Qi, who thinks of himself as a great scholar every day because he has read two books, and is arrogant and arrogant.

It doesn't matter if you don't have me, Zhao Teng, in your eyes. If you don't have Qin Lu in your eyes, and if you don't have His Majesty in your eyes, then life will be boring.

Li Xin took a sip of tea and asked while Xiao Lezi was still dizzy: "What is your relationship with Xiao Cui?"

Xiao Lezi's brows deepened as he said, "I, I..."

Before Xiao Lezi could finish speaking, he threw himself on the table.

Zhao Teng burst out laughing, and Li Xin looked at Zhao Teng's stupidity in confusion.

Zhao Teng said to Li Shui: "Master Huai, you saved a person who shouldn't have been saved. Let's not talk about whether Master Qi has ever been grateful to you. Just because he deceived the emperor and ignored the Qin law, he must be punished."

"And you, Mr. Huai, will naturally be suspected of covering up."

Li Xin and others looked at Zhao Teng. Just now, Zhao Teng was holding his stomach weakly. Now he is so angry that he wants to punish Brother Huai. Why does this person fall out faster than my sister-in-law, Dr. Chunyu, can flip through a book?

Li Shui smiled and said: "Master Zhao is really impatient. Just knowing that Xiao Lezi and Xiao Cui complained, he has to punish this crime and that crime."

"Since you are familiar with the laws of Qin, let me ask you which law you rely on. If you tell me, then I can report to your majesty that you have committed the crime of defaming loyalty."

Zhao Teng sneered and said, "Huaiguzi, you are really good at making excuses."

Li Shui smiled slightly and said: "Brother Zhao's praise, I'm just speaking with facts."

Zhao Teng said: "Facts speak for themselves. Okay, I am arresting Xiaocui. When I find out the truth, you won't be able to escape either."

Li Shui was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was eager for quick success and too eager to handle the case: "Whatever."

Zhao Teng flicked his sleeves and walked out the door.

Li Shui shouted to the craftsman outside the door: "The discount is limited to one hour. It has been exceeded for a long time now. Cancel the discount!"

Zhao Teng turned to glare at Li Shui: "When was there a time limit?"

Li Shui took a sip of tea and said, "It was just stipulated."

Zhao Teng angrily walked towards the gate of Shangjun Courtyard. Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by the craftsman.

The craftsman said: "Sir, did you not pay the fee when you entered the door? You need to make up for it now."

Zhao Teng stared and said, "You didn't ask for it when I came in. Besides, if you asked for money when I came in, I wouldn't have gone in."

The craftsman was embarrassed and said: "When I entered the door, I saw the banished immortal talking to the adults, so I didn't have the nerve to come forward and disturb him."

Zhao Teng turned to his servant and said, "Write it down in the account and send it back later."

The craftsman said in a low voice: "Sir, everything else is fine. The entrance fee must be paid in person. You can send someone to deliver it as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to get out."

Zhao Teng said: "Wangwang, have you found out who I am?"

Seeing that the old man in front of him had such a bad temper, the craftsman said: "Sir, I have met people with worse tempers than you, but in the end they just gave me the money and left."

Zhao Teng blushed angrily and kicked the servant next to him: "Why don't you go back and get it!"
