Chapter 7 Going to Be an Undercover Agent

When Cheng Ruoxi and Zhou Yuncheng arrived in the prison, Master Zhou had already arrived.The person who received them was actually Zhao Li, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, who had just taken office. This gave Zhou Yuncheng a more intuitive understanding of the status of business in this era, and it also made her look at the status of the Zhou family in Luojing City with new admiration.

"Master Zhou, Mrs. Zhou," Zhao Li said to the group of people, "The long-term worker Zhou Li was found hanging himself in his cell when he was distributing breakfast this morning. He should have committed suicide last night."

"Are you sure it was suicide?" Zhou Yuncheng asked.

"Who is this?" Zhao Li asked, looking at Zhou Yuncheng who spoke suddenly.

"This is my daughter, Zhou Yuncheng." Master Zhou introduced.

"Oh, this is the famous Second Miss of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuncheng. I was the one to be rude." Zhao Li's tone sounded weird, but he continued, "It's definitely a suicide. The body has already been examined by someone. He did die of asphyxiation, and there were no other wounds on his body."

"So before this, have you interrogated, and did he say anything?" Zhou Yuncheng asked.

"Miss Zhou, we interrogated him last night," Zhao Li replied, "He said he didn't know that the wooden beam broke because it was artificially cut in half, which caused his nephew to be crushed to death. He insisted that he did He came to this mansion to sue the Zhou family because he believed that the quality of the wood was defective."

"It hasn't been proved yet, but relying on my own wishful judgment, you dare to go beyond Prince Jing's mansion and sue my Zhou family directly?" Cheng Ruoxi said in a deep voice, "This Zhou Changgong is also very brave."

Zhao Li was taken aback by Cheng Ruoxi's sudden burst of aura, and thought to himself: I have always heard that Mrs. Zhou is a hero among women, but looking at it this way, she really has an extraordinary aura, and her words are as intimidating as a man's.

But Zhao Li has seen the big world, so he wouldn't be intimidated by such a sentence, and slowly said: "Mrs. Zhou, it was Zhou Changgong's nephew who died at that time. He cared deeply and did things beyond his control. It is also possible to do things within a certain range.”

"Listen to Fu Yin." Cheng Ruoxi looked straight into Zhao Li's eyes and said, "This matter has been settled, Zhou Changgong really didn't know about it?"

"It's not that we want to make a conclusion," Zhao Li said in a calm manner, "It's his death. We want to continue to investigate, but there is no clue."

"But." Before Cheng Ruoxi finished speaking, Master Zhou interrupted:
"Madam, since Fu Yin said so, then let it be." After speaking, he turned his head and gave Cheng Ruoxi a wink, then turned to Zhao Li and said, "Master Fu Yin, how do you plan to reply to Prince Jing's residence?"

"I have already sent someone to answer the question at Prince Jing's Mansion," Zhao Li said, "Of course I told the truth. Once Zhou Changgong died, the line was cut off. We can only judge that he sued the Zhou family impulsively. After learning the truth, knowing that he could not bear the consequences, he hanged himself in prison."

"Then who is the real culprit who sawed the wooden beam?" Zhou Yuncheng asked.

"Of course we should continue to investigate this, but" Zhao Li thought for a while and said, "Because the place where the accident happened was in Prince Jing's Mansion, the two people who died were long-term workers of Prince Jing's Mansion, and they both signed contracts of sale. If Prince Jing's Mansion doesn't want to Check again, then"

"What about Prince Jing's Mansion?" Master Zhou continued to ask.

"This is the cut-off document signed by Prince Jing's mansion." Zhao Li took out the document he had prepared, showed it to Master Zhou, and said, "If there are no other questions, please ask Master Zhou to also write the cut-off document." Sign and mark."

"Wouldn't it be impossible to find it?" Cheng Ruoxi thought for a while and said to Master Zhou, "Is it really the murderer?"

"Ma'am, don't be in a hurry. Didn't the governor tell you that, if conditions permit, he will continue to investigate." Master Zhou said: "If Prince Jing's residence thinks this is a better way to deal with it, then let's do it first."

After speaking, Master Zhou signed the cut book, and then stamped the seal he carried with him.

After leaving the Jingzhao Mansion, Cheng Ruoxi said: "Zhou Wen, just sign it like this, and we won't be able to find out who wants to slander us. In the future, don't everyone think that our Zhou family is so easy to handle, and anyone dares to step on it."

That's right, in private, Mileage Ruoxi seldom calls Master, but always by his first name.

"It's been so long, why don't you restrain your temper at all. Why don't you investigate? On the contrary, we signed the contract and let that person relax his vigilance and investigate better. Besides, there is no need to directly confront Prince Jing's mansion now. , I just read it, and the signature is real."

"Prince Jing's Mansion means that we will suffer from being dumb?" Cheng Ruoxi was dissatisfied.

"Yun'er, why did you care so much about whether Zhou Changgong hanged himself?" Master Zhou suddenly changed the subject and asked Zhou Yuncheng.

"Because I heard it at Prince Jing's Mansion today"

Zhou Yuncheng recounted the conversation between men and women that he heard in Prince Jing's mansion.

"So this time, Prince Jing's mansion is framing us?" Cheng Ruoxi felt a little unbelievable after hearing this: "Zhou Wen, you and Prince Jing have always been on good terms, that's why you decided on Luo Tian and Yun'er's marriage. Why did they do this?"

"I also considered this possibility, so I signed the cut-off document just now." Master Zhou said: "But it's too early to draw conclusions, you don't know who the female voice Yun'er heard today is, right? "

"Well, it sounds like a young girl." Zhou Yuncheng replied.

"Could it be Miss Luo from their family?" Zhou Wen asked, "You have dealt with her before."

"I" Zhou Yuncheng couldn't figure out how to answer the question for a moment.

"Just that one time," Cheng Ruoxi said, "It's reasonable that Yun'er doesn't quite recognize her voice."

"Indeed." Zhou Wen continued: "Yun'er, there is something that only you can do now."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuncheng asked.

"Last time you cracked the wooden beam and thought it was cut off," Zhou Wen said, "Now Prince Jing's Mansion recognizes your ability quite a bit, so you won't have a problem going to Prince Jing's Mansion often by checking the quality."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yuncheng answered.

"You find a way to stay there more, and look for any clues. Especially, the female voice you heard today." Master Zhou said his request.

"Okay, Dad." In fact, even if Master Zhou didn't say it, Zhou Yuncheng planned it that way.

"Be careful." Master Zhou left after saying this.

"Yun'er," Cheng Ruoxi turned to Zhou Yuncheng when she saw Zhou Wen left, "Zhou Wen may be suspicious, after all, your temperament is too different from the previous Zhou Yuncheng."

"Then what should I do, should I be more horizontal?" Zhou Yuncheng said.

"That's not necessary," Cheng Ruoxi said, "If it's not possible, I can only tell him the truth."

"Can he accept it?" Zhou Yuncheng said.

"It's his own daughter after all, although she doesn't have much affection," Cheng Ruoxi sighed, which is why she didn't tell Zhou Wen in the first place.She glanced at Zhou Yuncheng, and then said: "But he knows my real identity and has seen other traversers, so it shouldn't be too difficult."

"He knows everything?" Zhou Yuncheng was surprised now, she didn't expect Cheng Ruoxi to have reached such a level.

"Do you think I just randomly found someone to marry?" Cheng Ruoxi smiled, and then said: "Okay, let's talk about this matter when the time is right. The important thing now is the immediate matter."

"Well, do you have any other clues? If we want to investigate by ourselves, can we still only start with Zhou Changgong?" Zhou Yuncheng said.

"Yes, in fact, we have received information earlier today," Cheng Ruoxi said, "It is that Zhou Changgong suddenly purchased a large amount of land in the outskirts of the city."

"A large amount? That means someone gave him money?" Zhou Yuncheng said, "From this point of view, Prince Jing's residence is too suspicious."

"Yes, so although Zhou Wen didn't say it clearly just now," Cheng Ruoxi said, "Now if you can find some clues in Prince Jing's Mansion, it will be too important to us."

"Understood," Zhou Yuncheng said, "I think I have a way, how to appear in Prince Jing's mansion for a long time without being suspected."

"Oh? What method?" This time it was Cheng Ruoxi's turn to feel unexpected: "Material quality control?"

"This kind of reason is actually hard to hold for a long time," Zhou Yuncheng said: "Every time I enter a batch of materials, it will take a long time. There is no reason to go to guard every day."

"Then what method do you think?" Cheng Ruoxi thought to herself: If you are so professional, tell me that I don't quite understand it.

"Help them redesign the garden." Zhou Yuncheng said: "If I design the garden for them, it will be logical to stay there all the time to see if it achieves the effect I want. I can also give guidance on the spot, they won't , I can talk about it.”

"This is a good idea," Cheng Ruoxi said thoughtfully, "but how are you going to convince Prince Jing?"

"It's our job to take care of the owner's father." Zhou Yuncheng laughed.

Cheng Ruoxi didn't know what to do.

However, what Zhou Yuncheng didn't expect was that she thought of so many plans and countless renderings in her mind, and then thought of a lot of rhetoric. Can come in handy.

Because of all this, Luo Tian saved her.
