"Mama Mi." Li Kuan and his men called out from the kitchen.

The old woman chased after him. She smelled the stench of blood in the air, looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and replied dryly, "Young, Young Master."

The voice from the kitchen was light and indifferent. "Bring some water in."

The old woman was suddenly more frightened, her body shaking like a sieve, her eyes straining to peer into the room.

There was no sound from inside. It was as if the "Aunt Mi" was not inside.

"Mama Mi." Li Kuan's urging voice came from the kitchen.

The old woman did not dare to delay any longer. Carrying the water in her hand, she walked in tremblingly.

The old woman didn't even dare to raise her head as she entered the kitchen. Her head was lowered and her gaze was fixed on the tip of her shoes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a person standing in front of the kitchen counter.

The old woman poured water into the large pot in the kitchen, dropped a ladle, and turned to leave.

However, Li Kuan called out to her, "Light it up."

The old woman gritted her teeth, her hands numb as she picked up the firewood, and slowly poked them into the stove.

There was a brief silence in the kitchen as Li Kuan did not say another word.

After half an incense stick of time, the old woman felt footsteps behind her, and then she was covered by a shadow.

Almost instinctively, the old woman opened her mouth, "Young Master, two people came to you today. One of them came from the front and said that it was you who did this and wanted to ask you something. The other one, a bailiff from the yamen, is in the courtyard.

The shadow behind her seemed to have been frozen in place. After a long while, the old woman heard Li Kuan say, "You go out first."

As if pardoned by an amnesty, the old woman threw down the firewood, burrowed her head, and scurried out of the kitchen.

When they walked out of the courtyard and saw the man in white clothes under the moonlight, the old woman calmed down. She ran over and tugged on the young master's sleeve, "I can smell it, I really can smell it. It's all the smell of blood, Sir, you are a member of the yamen, you … You can't let something happen to me! "

The man in white patted the old woman and said, "Do you know who he is? Should I wait for him here?"

The old woman hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes. If not, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out." He then looked in the direction of the room and said with a shaky voice, "Aunt Mi, she …"

"Go take a look."

The old woman shook her head in fear. "I, I won't go …" "I'm not going …"

"There's a difference between males and females. Could it be that I'm going?"

The old lady dared not do so. She hid behind the young master and said, "She is not a clean woman. Her body smells like a man. You are a bailiff, so seeing her is equivalent to saving her!"

The man in white laughed, "If you look down on her so much, why do you serve her?"

The old woman did not say anything. She hid behind the young master, not sticking her head out.

"Then I'll go take a look." The man in white sighed and moved over.

The old woman pressed up against him.

Just as they were about to open the door and enter the room, Li Kuan, who was already dressed neatly, walked out. He raised his eyebrows and asked the unfamiliar man, "Did you come from the yamen?"

The young master in white stood still and looked at him, giving him a gentleman's salute. "Greetings, young master Li."

Li Kuang sized him up, "Mister, you look unfamiliar. May I know who you are from the yamen? "How do I address you?"

"I only care about some paperwork. My surname is Liu." After the man in white finished his brief narration, his eyes started to wander around Li Kuan.

Li Kuan's eyelids moved as he said: "The county's too troublesome. Four people had died in succession. I heard that County Commander Song borrowed a boy from another county to help solve the case. His surname is Liu, and it shouldn't be you, right?"

The man in white shook his head. "That's my son."

Li Kuan's eyes were subtle as he paused for a moment: "My family's old servant said that what happened to my rented place on the mountain? What kind of documents do you want me to sign?"

The white-clothed gongzi, who was also Liu Wei, nodded and said, "An extremely thick and big tree fell down, and smashed into a wooden house on the mountain not far away. The wooden house was smashed into a hole, and we found out that the house belonged to Young Master Li as well."

Li Kuan said, "I think so. After renting out the land, I didn't go there and only sent my men to check it out. I remember there was a wooden house on the mountain.

Liu Wei lowered his head, "That may not be true. There are signs that the wooden house and boat have both been used recently."

Li Kuan looked surprised: "Really? That is to say, someone stole onto my mountain, lived in a wooden house, and even used a small boat? "Tsk, this kind of remote place is the most insecure. Tomorrow, I will order some people to put up a rope net and make it clear that the 40 mu of land is owned by my Li Clan. Don't let any cats and dogs think that it is a public hill and take advantage of my Li Clan."

Liu Wei suddenly started to admire Li Kuan: "Young Master Li, you mean that the wooden house and boat are not for you to use?"

Li Kuan smiled, "Sir, you must be joking. I am the dignified Li family's young master. Why would I go live in a log cabin in the mountains?"

Liu Wei nodded her head, then turned to look at the door of the house: "Inside, I heard that you're Young Master Li's beloved concubine, calling me Aunt Mi?"

Li Kuan stood in front of the door blocking it, and said, "It's just an outer room. The main wife loves to cause trouble, so we temporarily do not let her know." "Teacher is someone from the yamen, so you shouldn't go out and randomly spread some gossip, right?"

"Of course not." Liu Wei said in an amiable tone, "However, why did I hear that this Madame Mi is not surnamed Mi? She has the same surname as the Sun family's second young mistress. "

Li Kuan looked at Mummy Mi who was hiding behind Liu Wei, and laughed: "Those are just rumors, Sir, you don't have to take all the rumors seriously, my Li family and Sun family are big families in Western Jin County, and there are many people who want to frame our two families. I, the dignified Li family's young master, would not go and find the Sun family's young mistress, if I were to commit adultery, wouldn't we be burning our two families' relationship? I'm not that stupid. "

Liu Wei stared at him: "I also didn't say that you and the Sun family's second young mistress are related."

Li Kuan chuckled again. "Let's talk about signing the documents. What kind of documents did you want me to sign?"
