Chapter 45 The Old Housekeeper's Blessing

The old housekeeper's blessing was like crazy, he looked up to the sky and yelled wildly, but he pointed out every word.

Zhan Zhao frowned, his eyes were deep in thought, but he sat in the chair and didn't intend to stop him.

Previously, the old housekeeper blessed and said that the Zhu family had no capable descendants. Everyone knew that it was aimed at Zhu Tianxiang. They thought that the Zhu family had always despised these two sons. He kept saying that Zhu Tianwei died unexpectedly, even more clearly and secretly, as if the finger was directed at Bai Qingfeng.

Everyone looked at each other with embarrassing expressions, they didn't understand the reason, they wanted to speak out to persuade them, but they didn't want to wish their family members, because they were afraid that it would be inappropriate, but if they didn't speak up, seeing how the old housekeeper was looking for life and death, he didn't know what would happen.

The corners of Bai Qingfeng's eyes twitched, his lips were tightly closed, and his complexion was uglier than Zhu Tianxiang's.He endured and endured, and finally slapped the tea table hard, stood up, and shouted: "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? Someone, quickly drag him down."

Everyone in the Zhu family knew that Bai Qingfeng had a close relationship with Zhu Tianwei, the former owner of the villa, and they always treated Bai Qingfeng as his master.Now that Zhu Tianwei and his wife are dead, Zhu Tianxiang is the new master and cannot be convinced. The old butler, Blessing, has always been regarded as half the master by the people below.Although Bai Qingfeng furiously ordered the blessing to be dragged out, the family members looked at me and I looked at you, wanting to move but unable to move, not moving but not daring to move, the atmosphere was awkward for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

Hearing Bai Qingfeng's orders, the old housekeeper blesses him even more with tears, and shouts to the sky: "Master, you have a spirit in heaven, but you can see and hear it? I wish the family had no descendants, so they were taken over by outsiders and bullied by others. Occupying the Eagle's Nest, the family business you have earned with your life over the years is about to be taken away... The old slave has long persuaded me with bitter words. We wish your family a great business and a solid foundation. As long as you operate according to your duties, Why can't you honor your ancestors? Why do you listen to slander and do those shady deeds, in the end you lost your life for nothing, but what a good brother and friend!"

Hearing this, Bai Qingfeng's face turned black with anger, he raised his right palm, and slapped it heavily on the tea table next to the chair. There was only a click, and the legs of the tea table made of solid wood were broken and shattered into pieces. Broken wood scattered all over the place.

Zhan Zhao looked at the sawdust on the ground, then at Bai Qingfeng, and thought to himself: "This Baizhai master seems to be indifferent to everything, but he has such a profound skill."

He came here to handle a major robbery case. He has been in and out of Yuwu Mountain for several days. He feels that Yuwu Mountain, which is as calm as a fairyland, really hides many mysterious things.

Bai Qingfeng shattered the tea table with his palm, and everyone in the mourning hall changed their expressions suddenly, terrified and uneasy, even the crying old housekeeper stopped his voice for blessing.

Bai Qingfeng withdrew his palm, his face became almost expressionless again, and ordered in a deep voice: "Drag the blessing back to the room!"

A few young and strong servants did not dare to neglect, they went up to help him to leave.

The old butler, Blessing, didn't resist, but when he passed by Zhan Zhao, he took a deep look, and seemed to have something to say, but hesitated, closed his mouth again, turned his eyes away, and stared at Bai Qingfeng fiercely, as if It's like seeing an enemy of several generations.

Although Bai Qingfeng showed his majesty and controlled the situation, he was not happy and his eyes flickered.He didn't bid farewell to Zhan Zhao and the others. With a flick of his sleeves, he strode out of the mourning hall and went back to Xiuhuang village alone.

Bai Xinyu's complexion changed drastically, and he sat motionless in the chair, muttering to himself, "What's wrong, big brother? Have you ever lost your composure like this before?"

Recently, she suffered a series of accidents. Although her temperament has always been calm, she couldn't help panicking. She turned her eyes and looked at everyone, as if she wanted to seek help and comfort, but she met Sheng Donglai's eyes. Seeing that his eyes were full of concern and affection, her heart moved. Although there was an inexplicable emotion added, it also calmed down a bit, but he pretended not to notice on the surface, and still treated Sheng Donglai indifferently and didn't care at all.

The old butler, Fufu, did not live in the side yard with other servants, but next to Zhu Tianwei's study, which also showed his status in Zhujiazhuang.But why does such an old servant who is dedicated to Zhujiazhuang make such a scene in the mourning hall during the day, saying those inexplicable things to Zhu Tianwei's spiritual seat?

It's late at night, and the whole Zhujiazhuang is quiet and shrouded in darkness. The rise and fall of this family business is similar to the rise and fall of a person. Who can predict success or failure?

Zhan Zhao walked alone on the dark corridor, looking at the lush trees and flowers beside the corridor, as well as those pavilions and pavilions hidden in the night.All of these are silently scattered in every corner of the manor, some of which have existed for a hundred years, as if watching the rise and fall of this world with cold eyes, or just waiting for their own death without complaint or regret, just like the verandah A camellia tree, which was still flourishing like a brocade a few days ago, is now decayed and withered, scattered in the mud.

He stopped suddenly, supported the pillar with one hand, closed his eyes tightly, and coughed again and again before he could cover his mouth with his hand.Every cough.Both lead to a headache, the pain seems to be cracking.Only then did he feel dry and hot all over, and his limbs were weak. It seemed that he hadn't had a good meal or drank a glass of water all day.He is too busy, his body is busy, and his mind is even busier, so he has no time to eat, drink and rest, and he has no time to pay attention to whether he is hungry, thirsty or tired.

It took him a long time to calm down the chaotic internal energy and stop coughing.He opened his eyes, stepped forward and continued to move forward.Walking all the way silently, watching silently, infinite emotion and melancholy aroused in his heart.Life is short, prosperous in an instant, and fleeting in a blink of an eye. With his firm will and tenacity of belief, he can't help but feel a little confused and confused when he thinks back on the ups and downs of the past ten years.

The old butler blesses the lights in the room to be still on, and he can be seen walking back and forth with a hunched back on the window. Anyone who has gone through these few days will find it difficult to fall asleep.

Zhan Zhao tapped on the door a few times with his fingers.

The figures walking on the window stopped immediately, as if the people inside were listening attentively, wondering who would be the one knocking on the door?

Zhan Zhao knocked on the door twice, and said softly, "Old housekeeper, it's me, Zhan Zhao."

Even outside the door, one could clearly hear the people inside sighing in relief, and then the door opened, revealing the old housekeeper blessing a dull face.There are more wrinkles on his face, although his complexion is not good, his spirit is calm, he seems to be the shrewd, capable and understanding old man who greeted Zhan Zhao at the door, not the maddened man who was in the mourning hall during the day.

When he saw Zhan Zhao, he smiled, opened the door, stepped back sideways, invited Zhan Zhao to enter, and said, "Hero Zhan, you are here. If you don't come, I'm afraid it won't be too late."

"Why is it too late? Is someone threatening you?" Zhan Zhao looked around as he walked into the room. The furnishings in the room were simple, and there was no one else except the old housekeeper.

The old butler didn't ask Zhan Zhao to sit down, he took two steps forward, knelt down on his knees with a plop, grabbed Zhan Zhao's clothes, and said, "Hero Zhan, please be the master of this old slave."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to support him, and comforted him, "If you have any grievances, just say it."

The old housekeeper stood up, looked at Zhan Zhao, and said slowly: "If the old slave heard correctly, the hero Zhan suddenly came to Zhujiazhuang, he must have come for another purpose, right?"

Zhan Zhao looked at his eyes that were proficient in the world, pondered for a moment, and understood.The old housekeeper's blessing is Zhu Tianwei's confidant, if Zhu Tianwei has any unusual behavior, if he can hide it from the whole village, he will not hide it from him.

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said, "That's right, I came here to investigate because I had some clues to a big robbery."

Blessing then asked: "Can this old slave ask Hero Zhan, where did he get the clue?"

Zhan Zhao said: "One of the clues is that it is said that the abandoned servant of Zhu's family asked someone to sell jewelry, but was caught by the Nanjin county government, and found that the jewelry sold was the treasure of Li Fushen's family that was exterminated three months ago. , Nanjin county government did not dare to be negligent, and immediately notified the Kaifeng government, and Zhan was also ordered to come here."

The eyes of the old housekeeper Fu Fu's eyes lit up, as if everything had been expected, and then asked: "Remember that Zhan Daxia once mentioned this abandoned servant of the Zhu family as Zhu Li on the day he came to the village?"

Zhan Zhao said: "However, the owner Zhu didn't remember that there was such a servant named Zhu Li in the Zhu family.

The old housekeeper blessed and said immediately: "Hero Zhan has personally interrogated Zhu Li?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, and said, "Zhan has not rushed to the Nanjin County Government, Zhu Li has been killed in prison."

Blessing said: "How did you die?"

Zhan Zhao looked at him without blinking, and said slowly: "This Zhu Li was killed by the sword of a black-clothed killer the night before I arrived." He paused, and then continued: "It is said This black-clothed killer's swordsmanship is like a god, his strikes are fierce, and he kills with a single strike, and he comes and goes quickly."
