I can enlighten everything

Chapter 8 The Night Trial
"Master, wake up, master, wake up..." Qing Mei softly called one meter away from Qi Shi's bed.

Qi Shi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no trace of waking up in his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Qingmei quickly took two steps back, bowed her body and replied: "Boss He is in urgent need of you."

"Director He? Did you react so quickly?" Qi Li muttered to himself for a moment, then got up and said, "Director He, please come to the living room, I'll go see him right away."

"Yes." Qingmei retreated, and Qingsong stayed behind to help Qi Li put on his clothes.

Not long after Manager He sat down, he saw Mr. Qi walking in quickly. Manager He immediately stood up and saluted. While Qi Chi was walking, he nodded in return, sat on the upper seat, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Director He immediately replied, "Tao Ranju has been attacked by thieves."

'really! Qi Xi's heart sank: "Although the fairy master has changed from a fake to a real one, my other plans have not changed. I treat the fairy master with the highest courtesy and respect. Sure enough, someone will attack the fairy master immediately!" '

Qi Zhi's original plan was to find a "fairy master" to throw out as bait, and then pretend to have solved the sneaky thing, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and fish out the behind-the-scenes man who is hiding in the mansion and stirring up the situation to his advantage.

Tao Ranju is located next to the back garden of the Qi Mansion, where people come and go and it is easy to escape and hide. Its bamboo house defense is so weak that it is almost non-existent, so it is very convenient for others to do it.

It's just...the situation has changed now, "Sneaky" and "Xianshi" have changed from fake to real.

But those preparations have been prepared a long time ago, how can they be changed in a short time?
For this reason, I specially sent two inner palace guards who are capable of martial arts, just to prevent accidents from happening, so that they would hate the "immortal master".

With a fluke mentality, I hope that if the plan is successful, the mastermind behind the scenes can be found before the "immortal teacher" is alarmed, and the matter can be completely resolved, killing two birds with one stone.

If the plan does not succeed, it means that there is no mastermind behind the scenes, and it is not man-made but sneaky.

"Did it alarm the immortal master?" Qi Xi asked.

Director He was stunned for a moment. Although he had heard that Master Qi valued this "immortal master", but based on his understanding of Master Qi, how could he really value that kind of charlatan?
He always thought that Master Qi was setting up a game to plot against someone.

But now, Mr. Qi doesn't ask about the case, but first asks "whether the immortal master has been alarmed", which is different from what he thought. Could it be that Mr. Qi really values ​​that "immortal master"?
No matter what he thought in his heart, Director He answered Master Qi's question with a serious face: "It's already alarmed."

'Surprised? ! Master Qi frowned. He wanted to have the best of both worlds, but he didn't expect...

'Am I too greedy? '

"What is the attitude of the immortal master?"

Mr. He became more and more sure that the immortal master really liked Mr. Qi very much, so he didn't ask about the thief, but asked about the immortal master three times in a row.

Where did Director He pay attention to what the immortal master who was suspected of being a charlatan in Tao Ranju was doing? !

Trying hard to recall the memory of "Xianshi", carefully replied: "Xianshi has been lying quietly on the bed from the beginning to the end, indifferent to the things I wait for."

Qi Xi nodded, thinking of the fairy sword of the fairy master...

Immortal teacher, that is a real immortal teacher!

How could the immortal master care about ordinary things like us mortals?
To him, this thief is just an ant and a fly. If he is not provoked, he will naturally disdain him, but if he is provoked, it is very likely that he will be killed with a single sword.

Although the immortal master may not care about these things, he must apologize to the immortal master tomorrow and maintain the relationship with the immortal master.

Now that it had happened, Qi Shi didn't feel annoyed, but just wanted to remedy it as much as possible.

'The immortal master will live in Qi Mansion for a period of time if he wants to check information in the Library Pavilion of Qi Mansion. There is always a way to make up for it. '

'Besides, thanks and apologies, it's all about human relationships, sometimes bad things can turn into good things, isn't it? '

After communicating these things, Qi Shi no longer held on to it.

"The thief was caught on the spot?"

Qi Zhi stopped asking about the fairy master, and started asking about the thief, and asked the key points directly.

How many people are responsible for not catching the thief on the spot!The first one to bear the brunt was Manager He who was in charge of guarding.

This is Qi Mansion!

Qi Mansion in Jishui County!
Manager He immediately got up and bowed apologetically, "No, the thief had already escaped when the subordinates went down, so..."

Qi Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at Director He quietly, without saying or doing anything, but Director He was so frightened that he sweated profusely, and his body shivered involuntarily.

"The thief inside or the thief outside?" Qi Chi finally spoke, and asked softly.

This second question is another very crucial question!
Obviously, the master had already guessed about this matter.

Manager He has been with Qi Zhi for more than ten years, and immediately understands that this is his last chance, if the answer is inappropriate...

"Internal thief!" Director He replied immediately.

Fortunately, Director He had already made a thorough investigation before he came, and he already had the answer in his heart, otherwise... this time it would be really miserable.

After listening to Director He's answer, Qi Xi nodded and said softly, "Sure enough!"

Then asked: "Are there any suspects?"

Manager He knew that he had passed more than half of this level.

"Yes, I suspect it's one of the eight servants who came from the mansion at the beginning of the word Qing."

"According to Qing He's description and the traces at the scene, I confirm that the lightness footwork used by him is "God Walking Step". Although "God Walking Step" is very common in Jianghu, Qi's "God Walking Step" has been done before. The special improvement is very easy to identify. There are only eight people from the villa who know the Qi family's unique "God's Walking Steps."

"According to Qing He's description and the traces at the scene, it can be confirmed that he is a man, so there are only four suspects left. After the subordinates took people to visit the whereabouts of the four suspects, they found that the young master's attendant Qing Bai and Qingsong, the attendant who served beside the master, had at least two people to prove that he was not at the scene when the crime happened. Now the suspects are pinned on Qingfeng, the personal attendant of the second young master, and Qingzhu, who is on duty of Tao Ranju."

At this point, Director He said hesitantly: "It's just... It's just that these two people seem to have insufficient motivation."

"My subordinates learned from the servants in the kitchen that Qingzhu had some trouble with the immortal master because of the bathing matter, but Qingzhu was serving in Tao Ranju. If he wanted to steal, he could steal it secretly at any time. There was no reason to pick three Gengtian wore night clothes and ran to steal."

Secret theft and burglary seem to have the same process and result, but they are two completely different crimes.And the difficulty of operation, the latter is obviously much higher than the former, Qingzhu has no reason to abandon the former and choose the latter.

"From Qingfeng's place, only the second young master said that Qingfeng had never left, but there is no other witness, but... Qingfeng has no intersection with the immortal master, and he has no motive for stealing..."

Manager He didn't dare to speak about the Second Young Master, so he could only talk about things by grabbing Qing Feng.In fact, what is the meaning in it, the master naturally knows.But some things have to be like this, you can only see it without telling it, you can only feel it, not express it in words.

"So..." At this point, Director He stopped appropriately.

Qingfeng is the personal servant of the heir of the Qi family, and Qingzhuyuan is the personal servant of the master.Both of them come from the mysterious villa, they are the real confidantes of the Qi family, and their status in the master's heart is naturally not comparable to that of their guards recruited from outside.

Director He didn't want to offend Qingzhu and Qingfeng, even if he had to put his investigation and analysis together under the pressure of the master, in the end he left a story, didn't say anything to death, let the matter go Do absolutely, leave room.

Qi Zhi frowned after hearing this...

Qing Feng... Qi Zhang?How could the black hand behind the scenes be Qi Zhang?He is the designated heir of the Qi family!At the beginning of the year, I had already started to hand over some power to him. He didn't have to do anything. The Qi Mansion would naturally belong to him. How could he be behind the scenes?
Thinking about the first time before going to bed because of the immortal teacher, Qi Zhi reprimanded Qi Zhang severely for the first time, Qi Zhang held a grudge because of this, and sent Qingfeng to steal and take revenge, which made sense.

So, the mastermind behind the scenes didn't do anything tonight?Or, it's just sneaky, I'm paranoid, there is no so-called black hand behind the scenes? !After experiencing the incident of the immortal master beheading ghosts, Qi Zhi was more inclined to the latter.

"Whether there is a black hand behind the scenes or not, it doesn't matter now, the most important thing now is the immortal master!" '

Since this matter has alarmed the immortal master, it can't be good.Only in this way, Qing Feng's punishment cannot be lightened!As for Qi Zhang's feelings, Qi Zhi can't care anymore, so let's take it as punishment for his misbehavior during this period.

As for Qingzhu, hmph—you dare to neglect the immortal master and spoil my great affairs, you really have the guts of a bear!Naturally, small punishments and big warnings are necessary.

"Before going to bed, Zhang'er was reprimanded by me because of the fairy master."

Manager He immediately understood after hearing this, if this is the case, then Qing Feng's motives are enough!

This matter has become clear by now, the thief inside is undoubtedly Qing Feng.

Apparently Qi Zhi thought so too, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

Qi Zhi didn't even try Qingfeng and Qingzhu, and he didn't say to find any other witnesses and material evidence. The evidence was conclusive, and he didn't give them a chance to argue.

"Qingfeng, hit thirty big boards and send them back to the villa. Qingzhu, hit ten big boards. After asking the immortal master for forgiveness, you can stay, or send them back to the villa."

Send it back to the villa? !The punishment is so severe? !
Although Director He didn't know what would happen to the servants who made mistakes and started with the characters "green" when they were sent back to the villa, he had seen several times that those people's eyes were only solemn when they heard that they were being beaten, but when they heard that they were about to be sent back to the villa With the despair in their eyes, they knew that going back to the villa would be a terrible punishment for them.

Walking out of the living room, Director He felt like he was alive after a catastrophe.

"It seems that the attitude towards the 'immortal teacher' needs to be changed. This is also a master who cannot be easily offended!"
