Chapter 22: The ugly old butler

Views:

Returning to Dongyuan, Ji Yunshu was silent, his expression tightened, making it impossible to guess.

Jing Rong followed her into the room and saw that she was holding the box in her hand and asked, "What's in the box? It makes you frown."

"It's not frowning, it's just..." She shook her head: "Forget it, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"If you know who the murderer is, why wait until tomorrow?"

"Did Wang Ye forget? The young man said that the murderer is very likely. There are two people. If they do it now, they will be shocked by the grass."

"So, you already know who one of the murderers is?"

She hesitated for a while before nodding: "It should be."

Jing Rong smiled, put her hands behind her back, stepped into the room on the right, and said without looking back, "Then the king is waiting for a good show tomorrow."

The door was knocked on.

And he didn't even ask a question, who is one of the murderers

Ji Yunshu sat in the inner hall, his slender hands clasped tightly on the box in his arms, tapped lightly, accompanied by the small chain on the box, and let out a penetrating sound...

Not long after, she got up and went out again, going directly to the mourning hall where Miss Zhou's body was parked.

There were a few girls guarding the mourning hall. Seeing Ji Yunshu coming, he raised his eyes, saluted, and continued to stay outside obediently.

The coffin parked inside is placed in the middle, the lid of the coffin has been closed, covered with a black cloth, and the black cloth is pressed with a piece of jade!

As the old saying goes, the greener the jade, the more it will ward off evil spirits!

At this time, the old butler of the Zhou family came in from outside, hunched over his waist, holding a lit candlestick in one hand, and pressing the other hand in front of his abdomen, slowly walked to Ji Yunshu and asked.

"Sir, come here so late, do you have any orders?"

Ji Yunshu shook his head slightly: "It's okay, just come and have a look."

"If Mr. needs anything, just do what he ordered. The master has explained it, so don't neglect Mr.

"No need to trouble old gentleman, I've always been used to leisure, and a life carved in gold and jade is not suitable for me." Ji Yunshu opened his lips and smiled.

The old butler nodded, and a gust of cold wind suddenly entered the door. He lifted the mourning hat on the old butler's head, and the old face was immediately exposed to the candlelight in his hands.

The dark yellow complexion, the tightly wrinkled skin, and the pair of deep sunken and dark eye sockets all reveal the word desolation, especially the scar on the left face that extends from the corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth, which should be scratched by someone with a knife , and because it was not handled carefully, the flesh of the scar turned outwards, forming an extremely ferocious red scab.

A sudden glance is really scary!

Ji Yunshu's eyes twitched slightly.

The old butler immediately lowered his head, pulled the hat back on top of his head, and bowed down: "The old slave's face is ugly, I'm afraid it will startle Mr.

"Don't get me wrong, old gentleman, there is absolutely no disrespect here, just... Seeing the injury on the old gentleman's face, it seems to be several years old." Ji Yunshu was careful when he asked.

"Yes, I accidentally scratched it a few years ago, and the scar has been on my face." The old housekeeper's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear much emotion.

Ji Yunshu's eyelids drooped a few times, and he didn't ask any more questions. The old housekeeper coughed twice and said, "It's getting late, why don't the old slave take the lantern and send the gentleman back to rest?"

She shook her head: "No, there are lights along the road, I can go by myself, it's getting late, the old gentleman and these girls should rest early."

"OK."

Stepping out of the mourning hall, Ji Yunshu's seemingly calm face was filled with a bit of worry and regret!

No one has noticed this kind of mind that arises.

That night, it started to rain lightly, and when it was about to be ugly, it started to snow gradually.

Jinjiang is located at the northernmost tip of Beiliang County. Since the beginning of winter, there will be a light snow every other day. The snow-covered Jinjiang City is like a layer of pearl powder, showing a silvery white halo.

But it was opened up by the winding bluestone road, and they were divided into countless pieces one by one.
