Zhou Zhi asked straight to the point: "Is your master, Mr. Li, here? Has he been out during these days?"
Su Xiaolu glanced at Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi didn't seem to like to go around the bush when it came to some things.
After hearing this, the young man quickly replied: "Go back to Your Highness, my master has not seen visitors since last month. The shopkeeper has left all the business at home to take care of it. Now that there is an epidemic in the city, the master will not go out. Okay."
He said that since last month, my husband has not been out."
Mr. Li hasn't left home for almost two months.
How could a businessman be so strange?
Zhou Zhi asked again: "Your master is in business, why doesn't he go out for so long? What's the secret behind it?"
There is indeed something wrong with Mr. Li. People who are engaged in business are most likely to have little social contact. It is unbelievable that Mr. Li has not left home for more than a month.
Knowing that Mr. Li had a problem, Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and saw that she was not in a hurry and just listened to the boy's answer.
The young man listened to Zhou Zhi's question and did not hide it. He said: "There is indeed a reason why my master doesn't go out like this. It's like this. My wife is sick. In fact, I have turned down many invitations this year."
I just wanted to stay with my wife at home. My husband is very kind to her, and even spent a lot of money to get a miracle doctor for her."
"My master is kind-hearted. Now that there is an epidemic, he has asked all the servants to go home. In other houses, the servants are all on death contracts. My master is different. All the servants in the house are on living contracts, and every month the money is paid."
Not bad, my master is a well-known good man far and wide."
The boy said this, because these are not secrets, as long as he inquires, he will know, and the master's family is indeed kind, and everyone with families has gone home. He is alone, and Li House is his home.
.
Su Xiaolu asked: "Then others have gone back, why didn't you go back?"
The boy smiled and said, "Girl, I came here to escape from famine. I am the only one left in my family. Mr. Li kindly took me in. I will call this place my home. I will save some money and get a wife before I can have a family."
Now the house is clean, except for me, there is an old cook, and she is also alone, so this Li House is our home."
The Li residence in Nuo Da is now occupied by the master and two servants.
And this boy didn't look like he was sick.
Su Xiaolu asked again: "Since the servants have gone back, what are the food arrangements in the house now? Do Mr. Li and Mrs. Li need no one to serve them?"
Su Xiaolu asked this question with the intention of testing.
The boy smiled and said: "No need, my master and his wife have a deep love. My wife is sick, and I don't worry about it, so I take care of her by myself. Now that there is an epidemic, I don't want anyone to take care of me. What do we have now?"
Everything is done outside the main courtyard. We are not allowed to set foot inside the main courtyard due to the epidemic."
Speaking of Mr. Li, the young man was filled with gratitude. It was rare to find such a good master. He was easy to serve, his salary was not low, and he did not scold the servants harshly. Everyone who met him had to say "good".
Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu looked at each other, Zhou Zhi smiled at Su Xiaolu, and then said to the boy: "We want to see Mr. Li, please lead the way."
The boy was a little embarrassed. He thought it was the same if he was asked about these things. He had told everything he knew.
If it had been anyone else, he would have refused on behalf of his master, but this person was His Highness the Second Prince.
The young man had no choice but to lead Su Xiaolu and Zhou Heng into the house.
The young man secretly guessed that there was nothing else going on in Li's house. Those were the things outside Mr. Li's house, and he didn't make any mistakes. What else could he do?
But these things were not something that a servant like him could ask.
The young man took Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi outside the main courtyard. The young man shouted loudly: "Master, His Highness the Second Prince is investigating the case. Come out quickly."
After the boy shouted loudly, he said to Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu: "Your Highness, this is the main courtyard. The master and his wife live in it. You can just go in."
He is a servant, and it is Li Yuanwai's rule that he cannot enter the main courtyard. As long as Li Yuanwai does not allow it, he will not set foot in the main courtyard.
Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi stepped into the main courtyard gate.
Jin Wu followed.
The yard is clean and does not appear to be dangerous, but this is the most likely source of the disease found so far.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu beside him and said, "Xiaolu, why don't you stop wearing a mask."
Su Xiaolu nodded. She was not sure if this was the source of the disease, but in this yard, she smelled the smell of the disease. It was better to be cautious, so she took out the handkerchief and covered it with a layer of handkerchief soaked in potion.
She looked at Zhou Zhi: "You can also add another layer."
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "No, these diseases are of no use to me."
He is inherently a poisonous body, and his body is invulnerable to all poisons, including epidemics.
Su Xiaolu looked at Jin Wu behind him: "You, as a bodyguard, should have an extra level."
Zhou Zhi looked at Jin Wu: "Jin Wu, please add an extra layer."
Jin Wu was a little flattered, so he quickly added an extra layer and said, "Thank you, Master, and thank you, Miss Su."
A few people were about to walk forward when a figure emerged from the main courtyard.
The person who came was wearing a black robe, and his whole body was wrapped tightly from top to bottom.
The visitor spoke: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, is here. Please forgive me for being rude. Due to the epidemic, I asked all my servants to go back, so I was negligent. Please forgive me, Second Prince."
After Mr. Li finished speaking, he bent down to salute.
Zhou Zhi raised his hand: "Those who don't know are not guilty. You can get up and answer the question."
They wanted to find Mr. Li, but Mr. Li came out. The next step was to question and investigate.
Mr. Li stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you, Second Prince. I will definitely cooperate with the investigation."
Zhou Zhi asked: "Take us to see the main hospital first. As we walk, I heard that your wife is sick. Where is she? Is she seriously ill?"
Mr. Li came out on his own. Knowing that the royal family was investigating the case, his wife should have come out if she could get up.
Zhou Zhi looked at Mr. Li. Although he only had one pair of eyes exposed and could not see his emotions at all, he could still see a lot from these unwilling eyes.
Su Xiaolu was also observing Yuan Wai, but he was wrapped too tightly and what he could see was limited. Moreover, Yuan Wai's body seemed to be fine. He had no disease and was a healthy person.
If he had the disease, he wouldn't be able to come out and speak. But the strange thing is that he doesn't have the disease. Why is he wrapped so tightly? His whole body, except his eyes, is wrapped.
Li Yuanwai led them into the main courtyard for inspection. He said: "My wife has passed away. She didn't like to make public announcements during her lifetime, so I didn't let anyone know and let her go quietly."
