Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 211 Framing
Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at Shi Zhongkui, seeing that he was always smiling.

Only then did she feel relieved and joked Lin Daiyu said, "Oh, now that I have my brother as a backer, my words are even more irritating. I just don't know if you, a younger sister, dare to trouble your brother."

Daiyu suddenly stopped talking.

It wasn't that she had nothing to say back, but that she was worried that Shi Zhongkui felt that she was sharp-tongued.

Shi Zhongkui hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Second Sister-in-law should let Sister Lin go.

And it's almost noon, so let's take a look at the house first.

If you think it's not good, you can go to other houses to have a look, lest the good place be picked up by others. "

When everyone saw Shi Zhongkui speak, how could they refute him.

Shi Zhongkui waved to an old eunuch standing next to the second entrants, four middle-aged nuns and twelve maids dressed as maids.

A group of people immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground to pay their respects.

The old eunuch at the head laughed and said, "The servant Ji Guangxiang, who was a steward in the Yumajian before, was chosen by Xia Shouzhong, the Xia supervisor and Liu Yuangong, to serve the county magistrate."

Daiyu, who had never been in contact with a eunuch before, immediately became a little at a loss and looked at Shi Zhongkui.

Seeing Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, Eunuch Ji is an expert in Taoism.

If it wasn't for my elder brother's promise to communicate with each other on matters of Taoism, it would be difficult for the prince and princess to invite him out of the palace.

In the future, if you don't understand anything in various Taoist scriptures, besides asking me, you may also ask Eunuch Ji for advice. "

"Duke Liu Yuan praised our family," Ji Guangxiang said with a smile, "Slaves are so insignificant that they are not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of Duke Liu Yuan.

Moreover, the county lord has great blessings. If you are just learning Taoism, you can get a glimpse of the door, and being able to serve the county lord is a blessing that has been cultivated by slaves for several generations. "

Lin Daiyu was even more curious now.

Daiyu covered half of her face with a handkerchief, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, apart from being an expert in Taoism, this old man should have other abilities, right?"

Shi Zhongkui laughed and praised 'smart'.

Then he looked at Ji Guangxiang and said, "Grandpa Ji, since my sister is curious, why don't you show it first?"

Since Shi Zhongkui said so, of course Ji Guangxiang is willing to show his skills in front of his new master. If he can gain the attention of Daiyu and Shi Zhongkui in the future, he might reward him with a way of Taoism.

If he can become a true cultivator, his decades of obsession with cultivation will not be in vain.

He bowed his hands to Lin Daiyu and Shi Zhongkui, and apologized again.

Only then did he stand up and look around, his eyes fixed on a jujube tree.

The hand hid in the wide sleeve, and when it was exposed again, a slingshot that was one size larger appeared in the hand.

Aiming at the jujube tree in the yard, he shot three times in a row, breaking three branches.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu stared blankly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the slingshot is just a child's toy, but in the hands of this old eunuch, it has become a sharp weapon that can kill people.

And being able to play with the slingshot so well, does that mean that the old eunuch might be good at bows and arrows?

Also, this old eunuch is a horse censor, so he must know kung fu with swords and swords.

Everyone immediately understood that Shi Zhongkui was a close bodyguard for Daiyu.

Not to mention three or five scoundrels, if a dozen or so elite soldiers are not paying attention, they will be shot and killed by him as soon as they meet each other.

Daiyu also knew what Shi Zhongkui meant, so she hurriedly bowed her knees and said, "Little sister, thank you brother."

"Small matter", Shi Zhongkui laughed, "My sister will cultivate to the third level of Qi training in the future, and I will pass on your palm thunder, diamond talisman, and divine movement talisman to my brother.

When meeting an opponent at that time, use the palm thunder from a long distance, and protect yourself with the Vajra Talisman at close range.If you can't win, then use the magic talisman to hide and go away, come back to me, and fight back for you. "

Daiyu pursed her lips into a smile, and immediately felt that it would be nice to have a brother-in-law.

Wang Xifeng and the others hurriedly said that they were overjoyed, and they felt envious.

Xichun, who was indifferent since childhood, even took Lin Daiyu's hand directly, begging her to teach herself after she learned it.

Daiyu looked at Shi Zhongkui hurriedly, if he didn't agree, she wouldn't dare to pass on this secret method indiscriminately.

Shi Zhongkui waved his hand, "You can decide for yourself, but the law should not be passed on lightly."

Daiyu hurriedly saluted and agreed.

Xichun, Tanchun, and Shi Xiangyun all looked overjoyed.

Since Daiyu made her own decision, it means that the second brother-in-law did not refuse.

Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, became depressed for some reason.

But Shi Zhongkui knew at a glance that this kid used to be the center of all the sisters.

Now that no one is around, of course I feel lost.

And the more disappointed, the more Jia Baoyu felt that after returning home, he had to practice hard.

In case even Xichun and the others surpassed him in the future, he would really be ashamed to appear in front of the sisters again.
-
The four nuns and the twelve maids are nothing to introduce, and those who have been in the palace are the best at observing words and feelings.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui really loves Daiyu as a righteous sister, how dare he not serve Daiyu wholeheartedly.

After Ji Guangxiang personally took everyone around the house, Daiyu felt satisfied.

Although it is much smaller than the two prefectures of Ningrong, not even a quarter of it.

But the house is not only exquisite, but also has Jiangnan-style small bridges, flowing water, rockery and pavilions, which remind Daiyu of her childhood in the south.

Although it is unavoidable to think of her parents and her younger brother who died young, the Jiangnan water town in her memory evokes many happy memories for Daiyu.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to choose this place as his residence.

With Daiyu nodding her head, the matter is settled.

Afterwards, of course, he went back to Jia's mansion first, and at the same time as the most prepared, he also chose an auspicious day to move.

Ji Guangxiang and the four nuns, of course, followed Daiyu back to Jia's house.

Now, not to mention that Jia Baoyu has no chance to approach Daiyu at any time, even Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others feel that they don't want it, but they have to follow the words of the four nuns and respect each other.

As a result, Daiyu was full of reluctance, but also had to think about moving there as soon as possible.

After finishing the matter of Daiyu's house, Shi Zhongkui just waited for her to pick her up when she moved.

But early the next morning, Shi Zhongkui finished his breakfast under the service of Baochai, Yingchun and his four wives.

I went to the temporary classroom to teach Jia Lan, Shi Taiji, Yu Huaiji, Xue Bian, Jia Yun and Jia Quan to read.

Seeing the housekeeper Yu Shun running in with a worried face, he whispered eagerly in his ear, "Master, the Embroidered Clothes Guard and the Long Guard guard came to the door together, saying that they have something to ask the master."

Shi Zhongkui was taken aback for a moment, thinking in his heart that there must be no good for the Long Guard to come to the door.

Standing up, let Xue Biao and Jia Yun take the responsibility of taking the four little ones to review, walked out of the classroom and called Ri Youshen over.

"Go and find out what happened."

"Yes, my lord."

Shi Zhongkui was not in a hurry, he just stood under the eaves and waited.

Don't think it's the people from Embroidered Yiwei and Long Jianwei who came to the door together, but Shi Zhongkui knew that Embroidered Yiwei not only didn't come to trouble his confidant, but came to watch Long Jinwei so that they wouldn't frame him.

Otherwise, instead of coming to the door to ask questions and letting Yu Shun enter the second door to report, he would just barge in.

And since the two groups restrict each other, then I don't have to worry.

At least he has to wait for the report from the Riyoushen, knowing what happened, even if the Riyoushen and Chenghuang can't find out, it can be regarded as a kind of intelligence.

Not long after, when Ri Youshenfei came back, he was accompanied by the chief secretary of the underworld dressed as a civil servant.

"My lord, this is Master Zeng Zhongfu."

Zeng Zhongfu hurriedly saluted and said, "Shangxian, the little god just checked the account books of the souls detained by the Yin Division yesterday and the day before yesterday, and found that Liu Guixun, who was reprimanded by the adults the day before yesterday, had not yet reached the end of his life, but was arrested by the ecstasy." Infernal Division.

I planned to report it to the magistrate of the underworld, but if my lord wants to intervene, then I will first imprison the soul of eunuch Liu in the underworld. "

As soon as Shi Zhongkui heard the words "I planned to report it", he knew that Master Zeng was asking for credit for himself.

But this is not the time to be stingy, and this news is really useful to me.

Not only did he know the general reason, but he could also interrogate the soul of Eunuch Liu.

He took out a ball of merit from the space farm, and flung it at Master Zeng under his somewhat impatient gaze.

Zeng Zhongfu hurriedly swallowed the merits, bowed his hands with a brighter smile and saluted, "Thank you Shangxian, if Shangxian wants to interrogate that eunuch Liu himself, I will go back and report to Lord Chenghuang."

Of course Shi Zhongkui would not let go of this opportunity, "Ask me, who killed him and why."

"Yes, the little god takes orders." Zeng Zhongfu smiled and cupped his hands and took three steps back before disappearing invisibly.

Shi Zhongkui thought for a while, and said to Ri You Shen, "Go to the house of Eunuch Liu and look for it."

"Yes, my lord."

When Ri Youshen left, Shi Zhongkui stood there and thought for a while, it was nothing more than someone using the day before yesterday to injure Eunuch Liu to frame himself or the Jia family.

Soon I had a solution in my mind, and then I calmly walked towards the door.

After going out the second door, I saw a dozen or so embroidered clothes guards and dragon guards divided into left and right, and each hand was pressed on the handle of the knife, staring at each other.

Shi Zhongkui smiled, it seemed that the emperor already had the intention of competing with the Supreme Emperor.

Then he saw Feng Ziying, who was dressed as a dragon guard, winking at him with an anxious expression on his face.

Cui Hezhong, a hundred households of Embroidered Guards, saw Shi Zhongkui approaching, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Master Shi."

"En." Shi Zhongkui nodded, looked at the leader of the Dragon Guard and said, "Does your lord have the will of a saint?"

"this,,,."

The general of the Dragon Guard arched his hands in embarrassment, "At Luo Zhengzhong of the Xialong Guard, Lord Shi will forgive me, but I am here to ask the Lord a few words for the order of Old Concubine Zhen."

Hearing this, Shi Zhongkui frowned even deeper.

Thinking about Feng Ziying's sudden wink at herself just now, she couldn't help becoming even more suspicious.

Old Concubine Zhen is indeed qualified to send someone to ask questions, after all, she is a member of the royal family, but at most she will send a eunuch to lead, and then the Dragon Guard will follow, instead of directly letting the Dragon Guard come over like now question.

Shi Zhongkui bowed his hands in salute, but did not kneel down.

Seeing this, the Dragon Guards didn't make things difficult for him.

And even if they saw the queen, many ministers would just salute, not to mention the master in front of him, but the master who had just troubled the queen one after another.

Luo Zhengzhong stood up straight and said, "The old concubine ordered to ask Mr. Shi, a bachelor's student in the Imperial Academy, if he shot and hurt Liu Dade and Eunuch Liu who was serving in front of the concubine Yuan the day before yesterday."

After hearing this, Shi Zhongkui raised his head and looked over, without asking the reason of the matter, these words were obviously a trap.

Whether you say 'yes' or 'no' is troublesome.

"Liu Dade deceived the emperor, and there is a conclusion. If the concubine has any doubts, it is better to ask the supervisor of ceremonies."

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui answered the wrong question, Luo Zhengzhong smiled instead of anger, and then Shi Zhongkui saw Feng Ziying mouthing, reminding himself of something.

She frowned and thought about it, before suddenly realizing that Feng Ziying was talking about Xue Pan.

Moreover, this case is almost the same as the case where Xue Pan beat Feng Yuan to death.

It was also after being wounded that he died a few days later.

It's just that Shi Zhongkui was very sure that the Liu Dade he injured was not in danger of life, and must have been killed by someone.

Before Luo Zhengzhong could speak with a smile on his lips, Shi Zhongkui hurriedly continued, "Then Liu Dade was indeed injured by this officer."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Zhengzhong was choked up.

"Master Shi, are you sure that Eunuch Liu was injured by you?"

"I'm sure." Shi Zhongkui also stood up straight, and said with a smile, "General, do you have any other questions to ask, if not, I will go to Dragon Head Palace and ask to see the saint."

"This...", Luo Zhengzhong was told again that he didn't know how to respond, and secretly scolded Shi Zhongkui for not playing cards according to common sense.

Moreover, when Shi Zhongkui went to Longshou Palace, he was definitely going to sue.

If I and the others follow the plan, first seize Shi Zhongkui's handle, and then make the times worse, then they will be famous.

But if there is no result, then it's not just bad luck.

Just Dai Quan, who acquiesced in Long Jianwei's attack, would have skinned himself.

Shi Zhongkui sneered, looked at Cui Hezhong of Xiuyiwei and asked, "What happened?"

Cui Hezhong didn't have such bad intentions, or he didn't dare to have bad intentions for Shi Zhongkui.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Shi, Eunuch Liu was found dead in the prison of Xiuyiwei this morning. After the inspection, he said that Eunuch Liu's bones were broken every inch of his body, and his blood was drained from his whole body. to something weird."

What is suspicious? Looking at the expressions of Cui Hezhong and other embroidered clothes guards, the outside world has already determined that eunuch Liu encountered a ghost or was killed by someone casting a spell.

And he not only knows Taoism, but also has a lot of ability, and he just had a conflict with eunuch Liu.

Shi Zhongkui shook his head with a smile and said, "If it's just these things, you probably won't come to the door. Tell me, what other clues are not good for me."

Cui Hezhong secretly thought that Duke Liu Yuan was smart, and continued, "I found a blood book in the lining of the clothes that Eunuch Liu was wearing."

Pausing for a moment, seeing that Shi Zhongkui was only frowning, Cui Hezhong continued, "The blood book said that when Eunuch Liu went to Rongguo Mansion to visit the old lady of Rongguo Mansion for Concubine Yuan, he saw the old lady of the Lai family."

Shi Zhongkui laughed after hearing this, and cursed "Idiot" under the puzzled eyes of Xiuyiwei and Longjianwei.

When Liu Dade came to the house, Nanny Lai was already pissed off, and Mother Jia was resting in bed. Moreover, Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty made the decisions together, so there was no need to report anything to the old lady from now on.
