Chapter 112
The carriage drove to the gate of Biezhuang, but there was no one to greet him outside.

Xie Chen asked Yinhuan to find a spare key in the other villa in the mansion ahead of time, and now seeing this, he signaled Yinhuan to open the door.

"Let's put the things at the door, and the money will be recorded in the account according to the old rules." Hearing the sound of the door, a voice came from inside.

Xie Chen didn't answer, and walked in with the silver ring.

A woman was lying on a chair in the yard basking in the sun, while the others were also idle playing leaf cards.

Xie Chen couldn't let go of his footsteps, everyone stopped their movements and looked at Xie Chen.

The woman reacted faster than the others, seeing that Xie Chen was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary demeanor, the gold hairpin on his head alone was enough to cover their regular silver for several years.

"A distinguished guest comes to the door, forgive me for my stupid eyes, I don't know who you are?" the woman asked with a smile, her posture was extremely low.

Seeing the situation, Yinhuan took a step forward, and explained Xie Chen's identity: "This is the eldest lady of the prime minister's residence, what are you still doing sitting around, why don't you come quickly to salute?"

When she walked in with Xie Chen and saw this scene just now, she felt a little annoyed in her heart, the house gave them money as usual, it would be better if they didn't do anything, and they even regarded this house as their own home.

Xie Chen was not as angry as Yinhuan, she had seen this kind of evil servant a lot in her previous life, not to mention she had also seen some clues from the account books of the Xie Mansion a few days ago.

The four or five servant girls who were playing cards stood up quickly to salute, and one of them stumbled and fell to the ground in a panic.

The woman lying on the chair had a flattering smile on her face, and her eyes were so narrow that it was impossible to see the expression in her eyes.

"Miss is here. The servant is an old man in this village. It is good for the lady to call me Mrs. Ye." One sentence explained his identity.

Although Prime Minister Xie transferred away Aunt Jing's relatives from the Biezhuang, he didn't care about it. He casually let the old man who has worked here for decades take care of it temporarily, presumably this is Mrs. Ye.

Xie Chen thought of this and said: "I came suddenly, without prior notice, but disturbed your game."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Mrs. Ye's face when she said this, and the others also lowered their heads, feeling guilty.

In the past, when Aunt Jing's distant relatives were in charge of things here, they were loose. Now even if they leave, Mrs. Ye is easy to talk to, let alone work, sometimes they stay here before they leave at night. up.

"It's the servant's negligence. I thought they had finished their work, so I didn't care about it." Mrs. Ye admitted her mistake to Xie Chen, and her tone was still sincere.

The others also lowered their heads at the side, Xie Chen didn't say anything more when he saw this.

Seeing the situation, Mrs. Ye said with a flattering smile, "Miss, why are you here today?"

It was because Xie's mansion couldn't think of this Zhuangzi all year round, so they dared to be so leisurely, but they didn't know how Xie Chen came back today.

"Passing by on the way, I heard from my grandmother that the scenery here is beautiful, so I wanted to take a look." Xie Chen said casually.

It is true that this Zhuangzi was bought because of the unique scenery next to it. It is not bad for Xie Chen to say so.

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Ye echoed Xie Chen and said, "Miss is right."

Xie Chen didn't continue to follow Mrs. Ye's words, just walked around the yard casually, and then went into the back room.

Zhuangzi is not big, and there are only two yards, front and back, and each yard has four or five rooms, and there are not many things in it.

Xie Chen walked into the room in the front yard, picked up the teacup on the cabinet, and dusted his hands.

The face of Mrs. Ye who was following Xie Chen changed, she didn't expect Xie Chen to watch so carefully, and she didn't know who was drinking here and put the teacup on it.

"Is this what you said you finished the job?" Xie Chen didn't look back, and asked calmly in front of him.

Granny Ye couldn't hold back her words in the back, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

Fortunately, Xie Chen didn't ask too much, and the purpose of coming today is not to punish these evil servants.

Xie Chen finished shopping around the front yard and took a closer look, but he didn't find anything special, and it was no different from other Zhuangzi.

There is a distance between the back yard and the front yard, and there is a small bamboo forest between the two yards.

The dirt road in the bamboo forest is paved with gray bricks, probably to prevent slippery roads in rainy days and make people feel better.

Xie Chen passed through the bamboo forest and came to the gate of the backyard, only to find that the gate was locked.

Grandma Ye also saw it, and explained: "The backyard was requisitioned by my aunt's relatives in the house before, and they all lived in it. They probably took it with them when they left."

It seems that Aunt Jing's relatives are not polite, they really regard this place as their home.

"I see, you go get the key and come here." Xie Chen didn't say anything more.

Granny Ye heaved a sigh of relief, and was afraid that Xie Chen would continue to ask questions. In fact, except for those in charge who used to regard this place as home, they sometimes found it troublesome to live here, and only then did they get used to locking the door.

After hearing Xie Chen's arrangement, Mrs. Ye went to the front to find someone to get the key, and Xie Chen walked around where she was.

Looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, Xie Chen felt that the person who built this village was a bit elegant.

Thinking about it, he walked a few steps into the bamboo forest, without stepping on the stone slab, Xie Chen walked inside on the dirt road.

There is nothing inside here, but in summer, it is cooler in the bamboo forest than outside.

After staying for a while, Xie Chen heard the voice of Mrs. Ye walking in.

He turned around and was about to go out, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a faint bloodstain on the bamboo.

Xie Chen's eyes changed, and there really is a secret hidden here.

"Miss, this servant opened the door." After saying this, Mrs. Ye pushed the door of the backyard open.

Seeing this, Xie Chen didn't rush in, but instead said to Mrs. Ye: "I'm a little hungry, take Yinhuan and go to the street ahead to buy me some snacks."

Yinhuan has been following Xie Chen for a long time, and after hearing the words, she knew what Miss meant, and she should be dragging this lady Ye.

Grandma Ye didn't dare to say anything, and left with Yinhuan.

Apart from letting Yinhuan hold Pozi Ye, Xie Chen has other considerations. If Jin Zhi stays by her side, at least she can protect herself. She is afraid that something will happen if Yinhuan stays here.

Although the backyard was open, Xie Chen didn't rush in, but walked into the bamboo forest again.

Except for the blood stain on the bamboo just now, the other bamboos were also slightly stained.

Thanks to the absence of rain in the past few days, the traces remained on it.

Xie Chen followed the direction of the bloodstains to the bamboo forest, and came to a place that was no different from other places. There was no bloodstain on the bamboo in front.

Xie Chen looked at the ground under his feet, thinking that there must be something wrong here.

Jin Zhi followed behind Xie Chen, followed Xie Chen's eyes to look at the ground, "Miss, do you want to dig?"

Xie Chen shook his head. It would be too loud if the person behind him digs things up every time he comes, there must be other ways.

Thinking about it, Xie Chen squatted down, knocked on the ground, and made a crisp sound.

is empty.
