Ju Muer was not happy about being disturbed, she pointed in the direction of the chair and said, "Second Lord, give me that chair."
"What do you want a chair for?"
"If I'm bored, I'll talk to it. I'll name it 'Second Son'."
Long Er was stunned for a while, and finally realized that he was being teased again!
Second Master Long was upset, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left without humming.
This ignorant woman!
Who said he was stingy? Look at her, she is so stingy!
If he treats her well again, he will be, be, be the second son!
Long Er left with a gloomy face, making the two maids who came in with the tray startled and suspicious, where had they ever seen the second master get along with the girl's family like this—
At first I asked a girl to tell him whether her hair was stinky or not, and she curled her lips and wrinkled her face, but after a while she talked and laughed, the food and medicine were slow to take, and the second master lost his temper, but they hurriedly brought the things. Yes, just for a while, the second master is upset with the girl again.
Second Master, what's the matter? What is the relationship with this girl
All the maids belonged to Nanny Yu, so the little maid decided to report to her later.
When Nanny Yu received the message to take a peek at Ju Muer, Long Er had already arrived at the government office. He sent someone to say hello to Mr. Fu Yin, and then he went to visit the shopkeeper Lu in the prison.
Lu Sixian was very excited when he saw Long Er. Long Er reassures him not to worry, saying that the matter has taken shape and he will be acquitted. With the guarantee from the second master, Lu Sixian felt more at ease. Long Er asked him to recall the scene of that day in detail, and Lu Sixian recounted the situation again.
Long Er asked, "When you arrived, were there any lanterns on the porch, and were there lights in the house?"
"Nothing, it's pitch black, but the door is open. I went out at night to look for people, and I had a lantern in my hand, so I saw it when I got there."
Long Er nodded, and asked some more details about his meeting with Zhu Fu to discuss the shop, and Lu Sixian answered them all seriously. Then Long Er comforted him a few words, telling him to wait a little longer, saying that the truth would come to light soon.
After seeing Lu Sixian, Long Er went to pay a visit to Governor Qiu Ruoming. Qiu Ruoming went out to investigate the case that day, and just came back when he heard Long Er begging to see him, so he asked.
The two met and exchanged a few pleasantries, and then the topic went straight to the case. Long Er reported to Qiu Ruoming exactly what Ju Muer had told him, and said that she is currently ill and weak, so it is inconvenient to come to see her, and she will come to tell what she knows when she is better.
Qiu Ruoming was taken aback when he heard this, and he even didn't believe it. He never thought that a blind woman could calmly observe her surroundings and write down everything when encountering such a dangerous situation. This is probably more than what a discerning person can write down.
Qiu Ruoming fell silent, wondering if this was a nonsense made up by Long Er for Bao Lu Sixian.
Long Er understood what Qiu Ruoming was thinking, and to be honest, if he hadn't followed Ju Muer's advice over and over again, he wouldn't have believed that she could be so smart.
"My lord, although this girl is blind, she is indeed very intelligent. Long has known her for a while, and dares to guarantee her in this matter. If your lord has any doubts, wait until she is in better health, and you can take care of her." Try her again."
Qiu Ruoming thought for a while, then nodded. Long Er said again: "Miss Yiju said that the smell of sesame oil on Zhu Chen's body is very similar to that of the murderer. I saw it in the yamen hall last night, when Zhu Chen came in and saw Zhu Fu's corpse, he jumped on it. Crying bitterly, she didn't throw herself on him, but threw herself beside him. If the husband and wife are deeply in love, this behavior is a bit strange. Besides, when the adults interrogated the shopkeeper Lu, she insisted that the shopkeeper Lu was the murderer, and let the adults make the decision. When she was a girl, she claimed that the girl was a murderer, so she went up to beat her, although she couldn't tell her what she was doing, but it was a bit strange."
Qiu Ruoming couldn't help but look at Long Er a few more times. Although this Second Master Long has a bad reputation, he has some observation skills. What he said is indeed something that he feels is not quite right. So today he went to the residence of Zhu Fu's two buddies, and went to investigate the Zhu Chen family. He only asked around, but he still didn't find anything suspicious. I wanted to talk about it and study it carefully, but I didn't expect Long Er to come to deliver clues.
Sesame oil smell
On Pingyang Street where Zhu's Mansion is located, there really is a sesame oil shop.
Qiu Ruoming immediately dispatched police officers in disguise to make unannounced visits to the sesame oil shop and Zhu's residence. Talked to Long Er again, and asked him to bring Ju Mu'er over for questioning as soon as possible.
Long Er readily agreed, took his leave and left.
With the clues about this case, Long Er heaved a sigh of relief. He first went to the tea shop, inspected the situation in each shop, and saw that everyone was doing things in a safe manner, and then turned back to the Dragon Mansion.
After entering the mansion, he handed the horse over to the concierge. He wanted to see if the stinky blind girl was asleep, but before he entered the courtyard, he saw Feng Wu pulling his five-year-old eldest daughter Bao'er very fast. Joyfully ran in that direction.
"Quick, quick, before your second uncle comes back."
Long Er's head was smoking, and he already thought of what was going on. He followed behind their mother and daughter, watching them happily meet up with Madam Yu who had been peeking out of Ju Muer's window long ago.
"Mommy, mommy, we just came back. What's the situation now?" Feng Wu took Bao'er and squatted out of the window.
Nanny Yu waved her hand, and the maid next to her quickly handed over two small benches. Nanny Yu pulled Feng Wu and Bao'er to sit down: "She's asleep."
Feng Wu stretched her neck and looked into the window: "Asleep? Then what are we doing here?"
"Watch it. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for a long time during the day. I can take a look when I wake up. Maybe I can chat with her to see what's going on. The second master actually brought the serious girl back It’s a big deal to stay at home.”
"Serious girl? Do you mean that you have brought someone who is not serious before?" Feng Wu's eyes lit up, and she asked with a spirit of discovery, "Nurse, tell me what happened? You bumped into me? Then what, this girl in front of me It’s not considered an overnight stay, it’s only when it’s day and night, isn’t it?”
Long Er really couldn't listen anymore. He emerged from behind the tree and coughed heavily.
The maid, Nanny, Feng Wu, and Bao'er all looked at him. The girl's face was obviously shocked. Nanny and Feng Wu looked at each other, and began to say that the weather is so nice today, it's really suitable to sit in the yard and chat Yunyun. Only Bao'er jumped over and hugged Long Er's leg with her usual expression, and called sweetly: "Second Uncle."
Long Er picked up Bao'er and lifted it up, Bao'er giggled. Long Er carried her to Mama Yu, sighed inwardly, and said, "Mama, what do you mean by 'bringing a decent girl home to stay overnight'? I have never brought a girl back to stay overnight, okay?"
Aunt Yu looked embarrassed: "That's what I want to say. The second master has never brought a girl back to stay overnight, and he finally brought one back. She is actually a decent girl."
Long Er's face couldn't help twitching, he put Bao'er on the ground, and sighed: "Mommy, the weather is so good, you and Fengfeng should take the child. Where's Xiao Qiao'er? That child is too small. You can't leave without adults, let's go."
Long Qiao is the second child of Long San and Feng Wu. She just knew how to call her parents, and on weekdays, Nanny Yu loves to tease her the most. But at this moment, Nanny Yu looked at Ju Mu'er's room again with great reluctance. Long Er sighed: "Nurse, I can't find the list you gave me last time when I should get married next year. Please help me choose a date."
Nanny Yu took a deep breath, opened her mouth wide in shock, and stammered stupidly: "This... is this... a marriage or a marriage?"
Now Long Er really couldn't hold his face anymore. Feng Wu hurried to save the scene: "Mama is overjoyed, she wants to confirm, is it the second uncle you are going to marry a wife, or are you asking for someone else's family?"
Nanny Yu nodded quickly, yes, that's what she meant. She stared at Long Er eagerly, with that expectant expression, as if if the second master said that he was asking for someone else, she would spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"I will marry, she will marry." Long Er said while pointing to Ju Mu'er's room.
Nanny Yu almost shed tears on the spot, this is really exciting news. She went around incoherently: "I have to tell Mrs. Madam. Ah, no, I'd better pick a date first, and I still have a lot of things to prepare. Ah, I'd better wait here for a while, and the girl will wake me up later. Good to see."
Long Er couldn't help but raised his voice: "Mommy!"
Yu Momo was startled, and finally calmed down: "Alright, I'll pick a date first, and then I'll take the date to tell Mrs. Master that when this girl wakes up, I'll come and see her again."
Long Er nodded and waved his hand. Anyway, Nanny Yu should take Feng Wu and Bao'er away quickly.
Nanny Yu did not disappoint him this time, she happily dragged Feng Wu and Bao'er away. Long Er just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Yu Yuma running back like flying, and asked: "Second Master, Second Master, what's the girl's name?"
"Ju Muer."
"Okay, okay, the name is really nice, I'll go and talk to Mrs. Master." Madam Yu finished and ran away again.
Long Er caressed his forehead, Nanny Yu's body is really healthy, seeing that quick movement makes people happy and worried at the same time.
Nanny Yu left, Feng Wu left, and Bao'er left, and the surroundings became quiet now. Long Er glared at the maid guarding the door, and the maid tremblingly reported, saying that Miss Ju drank medicine, ate a bowl of porridge, and then slept till now.
Long Er glanced at her. The servant girl knew that the master was reprimanding her for tipping off Nanny Yu, so she couldn't help but tremble even more. Fortunately, Long Er didn't say anything, turned around and entered the house.
Inside the room, Ju Muer was sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt. Long Er touched her forehead, but it wasn't hot anymore, her little face was flushed from sleep, and there were some sweat marks on her neck, it must be that she was sweating from covering her during sleep, and the heat subsided.
Long Er looked at the bandage on her head again, but saw no blood stains, thinking that the bleeding from the wound had stopped. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, maybe the injury didn't hurt so much.
Long Er moved the chair to the side of the bed and sat with her for a while, seeing that she really didn't wake up, he felt a little lucky. Aunt Yu and the others were so loud just now, they didn't wake her up? That's good too, lest she hear something about him bringing the girl back and start thinking wildly.
Long Er sat quietly for a while, then remembered that the chair he was sitting on was called "Second Son", and unconsciously became angry with Ju Mu'er again. If he pokes her face, this bad girl will make him angry.
Ju Muer was poked in the face and didn't respond. Long Er poked again, she pouted and frowned, scratched the poked place, turned over and continued to sleep.
Long Er pursed his lips tightly, feeling unhappy again, can't he wake up like this? He is here to watch her sleep, he is the number one idiot. He decided to leave her alone, he still had a lot of work to do in the library.
Thinking about it this way, Long Er really left. He told the maid to watch over the door and not allow anyone to disturb the girl's rest. When the girl woke up, she had to come and notify him first. Don't let him find out that someone knew the girl woke up earlier than him and disturbed her.
The maid was caught once before, and she was already afraid in her heart, so she quickly responded seriously, even saying that she would never dare again.
Long Er returned to the library with satisfaction. According to the habit, when he was at home, he would have a snack every afternoon. The servant asked what he meant, and then brought up a cage of fresh shrimp dumplings. Long Er ate, but thought that if the sleepy guy woke up, would he be hungry too? Just eating some porridge is not enough. He sent someone to tell the kitchen to steam some dim sum for preparation.
Long Er finished eating and read some files, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to report that Ju Muer had woken up, which made Long Er really want to go and see for himself, but he didn't want the servants to think that he was Take her seriously. He just wanted to act like he didn't care about her at all, so it's better to wait for someone to report.
After waiting for a long time, Li Ke came back.
Li Ke was ordered to take all the spies to investigate the case of shopkeeper Lu, and he brought back a message about the Zhu Chen family that Long Er asked them to keep an eye on. They didn't find anything at first, because Mrs. Zhu and Chen stayed behind closed doors after returning from the yamen, and no one was seen. The spies were bored, but they saw a yamen arrester wearing a commoner coat and going to the sesame oil shop to borrow oil to inquire.
There was nothing wrong at first, but the catcher had just chatted a few words, a guy came to buy sesame oil, but he recognized the catcher, so he asked the catcher if he was on duty today, why did he come to buy sesame oil? Identity exposed.
The policeman said a few words and left, but the spies found that the owner of the sesame oil shop seemed to be panicking. After waiting for a long time, the boss left the shop to the assistant, changed his clothes, ran out from the back door of the shop, and went to look for Mrs. Zhu Chen.
Li Ke knew that there must be a mystery here, so he sent a spy to report to the police quietly, and he led people into Zhu's house, secretly listening to what the two said.
The owner of the sesame oil shop is Ren Baoqing, a strong man in his thirties. When Zhu Chen saw him coming, he was shocked. The two sneaked into the house.
Ren Baoqing said: "Did you talk to the yamen? They all went to me today."
Zhu Chen jumped up in fright: "What? How come? What did the Yamen ask you?"
"Before I had time to ask, a customer recognized that it was a policeman. But if they didn't know something, why would they come to me in disguise to inquire? No, no, we'd better get out of here quickly."
"How do I get here? Mr. Fu Yin told me that he would come to me for questioning at any time. Doesn't my leaving make them suspicious?"
"Then I'll go on my own. Now that the rumors are so tight, they will definitely find me after they investigate like this. I don't care about you anymore."
When Li Ke heard this, he understood seven or eight points in his heart. After that, the two kept arguing about how to go and how to escape, and there was no proposal. Ren Baoqing said that if Mrs. Zhu Chen could not make up his mind, he would leave by himself, right away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Ke dived out quickly. When the spies came leading the arrester, Li Ke told him what he had heard, and the arrester felt that it was not too late, so he hurried back to the government office to get the arrest warrant, and he was about to pack his luggage at home and prepare to abscond The two of them caught up.
Long Er was overjoyed when he heard Li Ke's report: "In this way, the real culprit has been caught, and shopkeeper Lu will be released soon."
