"My master suddenly disappeared. I was so panicked that I asked Xiaochuan to invite you. You are a capable person. After listening to your analysis, I finally have an idea in my mind." Liu Wanshi spoke softly, but her voice was a little hoarse. His face was pale and pale, and his eyes were swollen from crying. "We are both sons of the Hou Mansion. My father died doing errands for the Hou Mansion, which is considered a worthy death. I know that the Hou Mansion will not treat me poorly, but in my heart..." Liu Wanshi couldn't continue, lowered her head, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. The maid Xiujuan who married Liu Xiaochuan is now the housekeeper, taking care of everything inside and out. When I saw Liu Wanshi crying again, I cried with her. "The Hou's Mansion has told us to hold the funeral first. We don't need to save any money. The Hou's Mansion will bear all expenses. We have already sent two envelopes of silver in the morning. If it is not enough, we will go to the accounting office to withdraw it. Brother Chen, you are outside. I'm on duty, and I'm well-informed. Xiaochuan hasn't been out much, so I don't know much about things outside. I'm going to bother you a lot. Thank you very much for being a steward. Chen Guanlou coughed lightly, "Don't be too sad, and be sure to take care of your health. I'll go and inquire about it, and I'll come back and tell you when I have news. If you have information channels, you can also find someone to ask." Xiujuan said: "We women, the news we can get are mostly about trivial matters in the inner house. The men are doing things outside, we really have no way to start, and they won't tell us. Xiaochuan is just a helper, not in the official position of the Hou Mansion. I have been working as an errand, and I am not familiar with everyone in the Tonghou Mansion. I have no choice but to go to Brother Chen. You have a wide range of people and everyone is willing to give you face. You can do better than Xiaochuan. I have no choice but to beg you shamelessly.” "Didn't the other stewards who are familiar with Steward Liu come to express their condolences?" Chen Guanlou asked a lot. When Liu Wanshi heard this, he immediately sighed, "I'm here, but it seems that everyone has been given a silence order, and everyone doesn't know anything about it. Brother Lou, this matter is really going to trouble you."
Chen Guanlou frowned slightly, looked at the helpless Liu Wanshi and nodded, "Okay, I'll try my best." No one knows better than the concierge who is in the Hou Mansion, who is not in the Hou Mansion, and how long they have been away. Chen Guanlou invited Chen Guanxiang, the concierge of the Hou Mansion, to the restaurant for dinner and to inquire about the news. Chen Guanxiang arrived at the appointment on time, and as soon as he sat down, he said, "You want to know how Manager Liu died, right?" Chen Guanlou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang has a burning gaze. No wonder the concierge of the Hou Mansion can't live without you." He poured tea and wine, and invited the other party to drink and eat. Chen Guanxiang was soft-spoken, and without waiting for Chen Guanlou to ask, he said directly: "Steward Liu left the house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year last month. I don't know what he was doing specifically. There were three other stewards who were out in those days, and they haven't come back yet. I don’t know what the situation is? That’s all I know.” "Three?" "Yes, three!" "Are all the warriors raised by the Marquis Mansion here?" Chen Guanlou asked while pouring wine. "I don't know about this. The warrior has another residence and basically has no contact with the Hou Mansion. Only the chief steward knows the situation. If you have any dealings with the chief steward, you can ask the chief steward." "The butler is busy, so how can he trouble the butler for a trivial matter. Brother Xiang, you have solved my big problem. I'd like to toast you." Chen Guanxiang drank wine and asked what he was curious about, "Why are you doing errands for the Liu family? Is it possible that you have a crush on Liu Wanshi?" "No way." "Haha!" Chen Guanxiang didn't believe it. "We are brothers. You can hide your thoughts from others, but you can't hide them from me. As soon as I looked at you, I knew that you were of the same kind. It's better to be a woman, especially someone like Liu Wan Such a charming woman. If I had the chance, I would also like to kiss Fangze. But his half-adopted son, Liu Xiaochuan, is like a wild dog, biting anyone you want. It’s not easy.” "Brother Xiang, a woman's reputation is the most important. It doesn't matter if you tease me. There's no need to tease other people. Come, come, have a drink." "You really don't want to?" Chen Guanxiang made up his mind not to give up, so he identified the topic of Liu Wanshi, "If you don't want to, then I will take action." "How do you start?" Chen Guanlou was unhappy, "You have a wife and children, and you live a restless life. You think about everything all day long. Why, you still want to raise an extramarital wife! A woman like Liu Wan, Can you afford it?" Chen Guanxiang sneered, "You said you didn't think about it, but you are so anxious. I just said it casually."
"Stop talking! Tell me the truth, how did Manager Liu die?" "Anyway, he definitely didn't die at the hands of one of his own. It was probably due to bad luck. He met a gangster who killed and silenced him. He was unlucky." Chen Guanxiang drank a gulp of wine. "Liu Wan doesn't have a man now. Those who are staring at her must be They will appear one after another. If you are interested, take action as soon as possible. If you are famous for your name, Liu Wan, others will not dare to mess around. " Chen Guanlou did not express his position. Chen Guanxiang asked curiously: "You think she is too old? She is only about ten years older than you. Only when you are older do you know how to love others." "You talk nonsense all day long." Chen Guanlou sneered, "Am I short of women? Can I afford it? Manager Liu helped me back then. If he hadn't passed the message to Tianlao, I wouldn't have gained what I have today. I am a person who repays kindness and is not as dirty as you think." Chen Guanxiang was not happy, "You are so serious. Others don't know who you are, Chen Guanlou, but I understand. I have been working as a concierge in the Hou Mansion for many years, and I dare not say anything else. I have really practiced a pair of moves. See People know it right. You are both responsible and upright, you are really shameless." Chen Guanlou immediately rolled his eyes and said, "There are a few people in this world who are not shameless. You are almost the same as me, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother." "But I'm more open-minded than you." Chen Guanxiang chuckled, "I want women, and I never hide them. You just read too much, and you always pay attention to that, the so-called sentiment." "If you don't talk about romance and only think about things in bed, you are called a beast." Chen Guanlou said sarcastically, "When you go to a brothel, the brothel lady will try hard to create an atmosphere for you. Do you know what atmosphere is? Do you think everyone spends money to go to a brothel just for sex? So you are just a country bumpkin, but you are still working as a concierge in the Hou Mansion." Chen Guanxiang turned blue with anger, "I have a wife at home, so I am much better than you, a bachelor." "Having a wife is of no use. If I want a wife, the women who want to marry me can line up from the west gate to the east gate. Do you have one?" I can't drink this wine anymore. "If you can, marry one back." "Why should I listen to you? Even if I am fifty years old, I can still marry a beautiful woman who is twenty-eight years old. Can you do that?" Killer! Chen Guanxiang was so angry that he walked away, not being as knowledgeable as Chen Guanlou, a bastard. When someone is asking for help, he is Brother Xiang, and when there is no need, he turns his back on others. Next time he drinks from Chen Guanlou, he will be a bastard.
