Chapter 51. Chapter 51.
"I don't dare." Jiang Xu's words didn't even carry too much anger, as if he was just asking plainly.However, the faint sense of oppression on his body made everyone unable to bear the fear.

The man simply knelt on the ground, and even called the slave: "Everything is the fault of the slave, please punish the Marquis."

Seeing that he wasn't telling the truth, Jiang Xu was too lazy to listen, and clapped his hands neatly: "Come here. Take it down, and you will be punished fifty times."

Fifty?The remaining three were shocked.Fifty sticks down, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die.But no one dared to intercede with him.Because they clearly felt that Jiang Xu's gaze was shifted to them.

"Come on," Jiang Xu waved to several people slowly: "Move forward."

The three tremblingly took a step forward.

"Continue." Jiang Xu was still not satisfied.

Several people had no choice but to leave.It wasn't until they were about to walk in front of Jiang Xu that he ordered: "Stop."

"You said, is that what he said?"

At such a distance, they raised their eyes and bumped into Jiang Xu's eyes.Jiang Xu's eyes were actually very calm.At first glance, it looks like a calm sea.However, they all know that this is only the surface.

In fact, under the calm, there are turbulent waves.I don't know when, a wave will hit.

With the lessons learned from the past, few people dared to hide it anymore.After all, nothing is more important than not being killed.But none of them dared to talk to Jiang Xu.Finally, the person closest to Jiang Xu replied: "Master Hou, in fact, it was his friend who came to see him, so he asked us to go with him."

"He let you go?"

Meeting his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the man lowered his head guiltily and stopped talking.

Of course he didn't ask them to go with him on his own initiative.It's just that when encountering such a thing, they will naturally boo and clamor to go together.He was also used to being teased, so he had to follow them.

Moreover, they also felt that if they just leave for a while, nothing will happen.

"Really?" Jiang Xu repeated.

At this time, a person next to him took the initiative to answer: "Yes, he was the one who encouraged us."

Jiang Xu didn't bother to ask any more, so he waved his hand and signaled them to go down.

The three of them were overjoyed, thinking that they had escaped a catastrophe.However, when they reached the door, they were erected and stripped to the place where the screams continued.

The three hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master Hou, Lord Hou, spare your life, we were instigated, Master Hou."

In the next second, without Jiang Xu's orders, someone stepped forward and gagged their mouths.The three of them could no longer make a sound, and could only watch helplessly as they got farther and farther away from the main courtyard.

"What does father think?" Jiang Xu looked at Jiang Lin who said nothing.It seemed that it was just a varnisher and a few guards who neglected their duties for a while, and all kinds of things came together to become today's "coincidence".

However, everyone knows that something that is too coincidental is not a coincidence.

Jiang Lin didn't answer, but asked the servants: "What about the servant who painted the varnish? Did you call him?"

"Here we come." One person came out and replied.Immediately, he patted the door, and a person walked in.

The man looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, and he had a kind and honest appearance.It seemed that he couldn't see clearly. After he came in, he stopped at the door first, squinted his eyes for a look, and then walked in. He knelt straight in the hall and met: "Master, Lord Marquis, madam, son, ladies."

"Do you know why I called you here?" Seemingly tired, Jiang Xu motioned to Jiang Huai, who reacted instantly and took over the task of questioning.

"This old slave knows." He kowtowed respectfully before replying: "I know that Lord Hou and his wife are going to come to the villa today, so this old slave rushed to varnish a tool in the villa the day before yesterday. The varnish dries extremely quickly, even if the weather is humid, it will definitely not take two days to dry."

Jiang Huai looked at the commander of the guards at the side, and he immediately stepped forward and replied: "My lord, the varnish dries really fast, it won't take two days."

What's more, it was available for more than two days.

"Go and have a look, but all the newly varnished stools are not dry." Jiang Xu had long intended to let Jiang Huai handle business with him, so at this time, he made a decisive decision and asked someone to check the warehouse: "By the way, the two Bring the stools that the lady stepped on. If they are not dry, then put them together in a ventilated place and see how long they last. If they are not dry..."

Jiang Huai didn't go on, but everyone present understood.If the stool that Jiang Shurou stepped on was the only one that didn't dry, it must be something tricky.

However, if the stools are not dry, can it prove that this is just an unintentional mistake?Jiang Shuyao couldn't help frowning, her immature face was solemn that didn't match her age.

Every time Jiang Shurou came to pick the grapes, she went straight to the grapes.Unlike her and Jiang Shujing, she was the only one who stepped on the stool, and they all stepped on the ladder.But something happened to the Dudu stool, it's hard not to make people suspicious, maybe someone is here for Jiang Shurou.

Soon, the guard came back with the news that "those stools are indeed not dry yet".

Everything seemed to be at an impasse.In the end, Jiang Xu fined him half a month's money and asked him to retire.

"Go and check, the varnish material this time is different from the usual one." Jiang Xu glanced at Jiang Huai appreciatively.Yes, knowing that starting with varnish, there is progress.

A guard led the order down.What they ordered was naturally the guards brought by the Hou's mansion, so don't worry about them covering up those people.

"But what do you think needs to be investigated?" Jiang Xu asked Jiang Huai after taking a sip of tea when there was no progress in the left and right matters.

Knowing that this was his father's test, Jiang Huai frowned and thought about it, but he still couldn't think of anything wrong.Jiang Shuyao coughed softly, and when Jiang Huai saw it, she pointed at herself lightly.

Jiang Huai was at a loss.YoYo?What's up with her?She... Jiang Huai tried hard to think about her characteristics.Isn't she his sister?younger sister!correct!
Jiang Huai's eyes lit up: "Come on, let's find out the identity of the 'friend' that the guard said."

Jiang Xu nodded in satisfaction, and did not forget to glance at her daughter lightly.Jiang Shuyao immediately smiled at him, pretending to be cute.

Jiang Xu shook his head, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.He never had anything to do with her.

At this time, the doctor who treated Jiang Shurou came.This doctor is an old doctor who has lived in the villa all year round, and he is familiar with Jiang Xu and the others.

Even though the screams of those guards were so intense, he just kept his eyes on and calmly stepped forward to salute.

"Master, Lord Hou, Madam, the second girl's leg is not injured, so it's not a serious problem. But, I'm afraid she won't be able to walk for a while."

Several people nodded.They had expected this.

"It's just..." The doctor hesitated: "Second Miss actually has a faint cold syndrome, and it's getting worse. If things go on like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to conceive easily."
