Chapter 904 I can’t help but burst into tears

Author: Rensu

In Shangjun Courtyard, Li Shui and Li Xin returned to the house.

Li Xin asked: "Your Majesty has entrusted you with the case of the steward of Qi Mansion. Are you sure about it?"

Li Shui took a sip of tea and said nothing.

Li Xin thought that Li Shui didn't have any ideas, so he sighed and said, "Oh, there are no clues in this case."

"Otherwise, Zhao Teng would have gone to His Majesty to take credit."

"If there is no way out, I will send people to tie up all the servants in Qi Mansion and interrogate them one by one. There will always be some clues."

Li Shui smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't be anxious, who says I'm not sure."

Li Xin frowned and said in disbelief: "You haven't said anything yet, and I still worry about this matter."

Li Shui smiled and said: "Brother Li, don't you know what I am doing? If I am not sure, I will not accept your Majesty's commission."

Li Xin thought for a while and smiled: "That's right, you never do anything to suffer a loss."

Li Shui took a sip of tea and said, "You can't say that. When working for His Majesty, you don't have to worry about what you will suffer. The important thing is not to work for a long time, but the credit belongs to others. You made a dowry for others."

Li Xin thought for a while and nodded.

Li Xin said: "So you didn't pay much attention to Qi's case before."

Li Shui said: "The more I thought about the Qi Mansion case, the more I felt it was not simple, so I didn't jump to conclusions easily."

"But before he had time to discuss it with Zhao Teng, he took people to meet with His Majesty."

Li Xin said: "I don't know what happened to Zhao Teng recently, and he is getting more and more anxious."

Li Shui nodded: "He has failed in front of His Majesty one after another and failed to do things well. Of course he is panicking. If he can't achieve anything, I'm afraid Your Majesty will also ignore him."

Li Xin nodded: "That's true."

"It's no wonder that just what happened to Qi Mansion is enough to bring Zhao Teng bad luck."

Li Shui said slowly: "It seems that we are going to move Yali Daily, which will have a huge influence on Qi Mansion."

Li Xin drank a cup of muscle-strengthening and blood-activating tea and said, "What are you going to do about the housekeeper of Qi Mansion?"

Li Shui thought for a while and said, "We already have some clues about this matter."

Li Xin frowned and asked, "It seems that Brother Huai, you are not idle in private either."

Li Shui smiled and shouted to the craftsman outside the door: "Bring me the sales details of the shop."

The craftsman lowered his head and responded, then presented the detailed information he had taken to Li Shui.

Li Shui handed one of the books to Li Xin.

Li Xin frowned and turned over his head, wondering: "This is the sales list, what do you want me to do?"

Li Shui smiled and took the notebook over, knowing that Li Xin didn't like reading things with these words.

Li Shui said: "Steward Wang of the Qi Mansion died of an overdose of borneol, and the sales record of borneol was also found in this sales list."

Li Xin asked curiously: "Have you discovered all this? You might as well kill me if you let me see such a thick sales list."

"Is there any record of who bought it?"

Li Shui put down the detailed notebook and said with a smile: "Yes, it's Xiao Cui from Qi Mansion."

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Xiaocui bought borneol, then poisoned Butler Wang at night and made him take it?"

Li Shui said: "This is the initial idea. We still need to interrogate Xiaocui to know everything."

"Xiao Cuiruo is just a maid, she would not dare to do such a thing."

Li Xin whispered: "Do you suspect that there is someone behind the scenes? Ouspensky?"

Li Shui thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure yet."

"Besides, the shop selling borneol is the property of Shangjun Courtyard, so it will inevitably be discussed. We still need to find out."

Li Xin said: "Then when will we go to interrogate Xiaocui?"

Li Shui said: "Don't worry, Wu Shi was in a trance today and was just taken home by Mr. Qi."

"If we go to the house to get someone at this time, Xiaocui will definitely not cooperate."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Zhao Teng has just touched his upper and lower lips and convicted Wu Shi and Lu Yi. He will be fine after accepting the fine. He is very relaxed."

Li Shui smiled and said: "He wants to relax and watch our jokes, how is that possible?"

Li Xin said helplessly: "Now that Your Majesty has assigned you both, what else can you do?"

Li Shui said: "When we first came back, I sent someone to see Zhao Teng."

"Ask him to help investigate Xiaocui's origins."

Li Xin frowned and said, "Is he willing? According to His Majesty's wishes, nothing will happen to him."

Li Shui put down his tea cup and said, "Originally, there was nothing wrong with him, but he just wanted to pay a fine as a penalty, and actually asked Mr. Qi to pay the interest in installments."

"If His Majesty knew about this, would you think about it and could you spare him?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "Brother Huai, you are still the tallest. Just because of this, he has to get some snacks to investigate."

Li Shui said: "There is no way, who can make his virtuous wife more powerful? Mr. Zhao has to be afraid if he wants to save some private money."

After saying that, Li Xin and Li Shui both laughed.

Qi Mansion, the Wu family's residence in the backyard.

Wu Shi has been crying since she came back and was lying on the bed. Mr. Qi sat next to him and felt very distressed.

Mr. Qi said: "In order to support your family, you have spent all your efforts running the tavern. It's really hard on you."

Wu Shi said slowly: "I just didn't expect that the money I earned would be lost before I could keep it warm."

"It's all like a dream, it came and went so quickly."

Mr. Qi said: "Lu Yi reminded you at that time that this wine violates the patent law and will not last long."

"Since you are mentally prepared from the beginning, don't be too sad."

Wu said: "I just think it's a pity. I wanted to take the initiative to accuse Huaiguzi of deliberately throwing dirty water in front of His Majesty, in order to get His Majesty's warning to Huaiguzi."

"I knew that His Majesty favored Huaiguzi, but I didn't expect that he would be so favored. Huaiguzi ignored this matter in just a few words and talked about other things."

Mr. Qi sighed and said, "Why do you need to use your reputation to compete with Huaiguzi? His behavior has always been shameless and does not follow common sense."

Wu held Master Qi's hand and said, "Now that the tavern has been closed, our source of income has been almost cut off, and Lu Yi has also been abducted by Huaiguzi."

Mr. Qi comforted him: "Don't be sad, it will get better. You can take care of it with peace of mind, and I will take care of the rest."

Mr. Qi looked out the window and whispered: "At worst, I will ask Huaiguzi for help, and he will probably give me some thin noodles."

Wu Shi couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this. She knew that Mr. Qi in front of her loved face most, and would not say such words unless she had no other choice.

Wu looked at Mr. Qi and said affectionately: "Let's get married when I get better."

Mr. Qi couldn't help but burst into tears and nodded vigorously.

In the past two days, Xiao Cui has been busy serving Wu, but Xiao Cui's mind seems not to be here.

Wu asked: "Xiao Cui, are you worried about something? Why are you so frowning all the time?"
