Su Yu was keenly aware that the atmosphere suddenly became tense at this moment.
It was as if everyone in the yard, except the three of them, was tense at this moment.
"What's going on?"
Su Yu frowned slightly, and his heart trembled slightly.
"Little guy..."
Ji Longcheng's mind was entirely focused on the little guy in front of him, and he didn't notice any changes at all. He stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.
The panic in Wang Liang's eyes even turned into a look of pleading at this moment. This scene did not escape Su Yu's eyes, making him more and more confused.
Could it be that Ji Longcheng would still be unfavorable to his only remaining seedling?
Just when Ji Longcheng put his arms around the child's waist and was about to take the child from the handyman's hand, Xu Kun on the side said: "You three adults, the sun is going to set soon, why don't you three go in early?"
Let's search, the three adults can finish their work early."
When Ji Longcheng heard this, he couldn't help but take back his hand and said with a smile: "Okay then."
"Everyone is waiting in the yard. No one is allowed to move while the three officers are searching."
After saying that, Ji Longcheng took Su Yu and the two of them and walked straight to the backyard, searching each room in turn.
After searching all the rooms, the three of them walked to the front yard.
"My lords, have you finished the search?" Xu Kun came up to us and said with a smile.
"Well, the search has been completed." Ji Longcheng said.
Su Yu stood behind Ji Longcheng and glanced at everyone in the front yard one by one.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong.
The structure of this family is a male master, a real wife, seven concubines, a housekeeper, nine maids, five servants, two kitchens, and a child...
Su Yu looked at all this calmly, and his heart suddenly thumped.
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
How could a real wife and seven concubines have nine maids?
On this day, more than two hundred households were searched. Almost every household on Chonghua Street hired a maid to serve them, but there were almost no cases where a lady hired two maids.
Each wife or concubine has only one maid to serve her. What the maid has to do every day is to serve the wife to boil water for washing, serve tea and water, starch clothes, etc. One maid is more than enough for these tasks.
After all, they are not a royal family or a family of officials. The ordinary people who settled in Tai'an City only have a little money in their hands.
Many people buy houses and settle in Tai'an City after making money, but they are still very cautious about hiring people to work.
After all, one more person is not just as simple as an extra pair of chopsticks, but also requires payment of wages and three meals a day.
For example, an ordinary handyman's monthly salary is about two taels of silver, while a maid's salary is one tael of silver.
The family in front of us has a total of nine maids, five servants, two kitchens, and a housekeeper.
In one month, the salary alone is nearly forty taels of silver, plus three meals a day... it is already a very considerable expenditure.
Looking back at the current world, labor expenses for a month are almost 100,000 yuan.
Even if you earn a million a month, you don’t have such a big expense, right?
What puzzled Su Yu was that there was only one wife and seven concubines in this household. How could there be nine maids?
What is this ninth maid responsible for?
Aren't the other eight maids who each serve the wife enough?
Su Yu looked calmly at the maid standing at the back of the crowd.
Different from other maids, her face looked a little sallow, but her neck was very fair. She was wearing a piece of clothes that didn't fit well, and she had freckles on her face. She was holding the hem of the clothes with her hands, and she looked a little nervous.
As if she noticed someone was watching her, she looked up and happened to see Su Yu who was sizing her up. Her eyes immediately became a little panicked and she immediately lowered her head.
But the look when she raised her head and looked at Su Yu made Su Yu's mind feel like there was a thunderous explosion.
Qiulan!
Su Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he recognized the maid.
That maid is apparently one of the people the entire Zhenwu Division and Wu family are looking for, Qiulan!
At this time, she had gone through a disguise, completely covering up her good looks, but Su Yu still recognized her at a glance.
Especially the impressive size of her breasts made Su Yu confirm her identity.
When Wu Chen threw her out of the Jiaofang Division yesterday, Qiulan only wore a thin gauze dress. Her pair of jade hands could not block the majestic waves, which made many onlookers look straight at her.
Although he has never met Gu Yuanjie, he saw Qiulan with his own eyes at the gate of Jiaofangsi at noon yesterday.
At that time, Qiulan was thrown out of the Jiaofang Department by the fourth son of the Wu family. Su Yu saw Chu Chu's pitiful and helpless look, about to cry.
At this moment, he finally solved the doubts in his heart and understood why the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant when everyone in the courtyard went to hug the young child in Jilongcheng.
Because the middle-aged man holding Wang Liang's youngest son is most likely the Gu Yuanjie who is being searched for by countless people.
If the prediction is correct, he should have kidnapped Wang Liang's youngest son as a threat, and then hid in his house with Qiulan.
Wang Liang's third son died young, and now he has a son, but he is too precious. He is deeply afraid that something will happen to his precious son, so naturally he does not dare to do anything rashly.
This also explains the nervousness shown by everyone in the yard when Ji Longcheng went to pick up the toddler.
Because everyone was worried that after Ji Longcheng took away the hostages, Gu Yuanjie would suddenly kill him.
This was a ruthless man who dared to chop all the four young masters of the Wu family into sticks, and he had already put his own life at risk.
But they were all alive and well, so naturally they were not willing to be buried with Gu Yuanjie.
Su Yu's heart was beating fast, and then he calmly withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't notice anything.
Gu Yuanjie is a Bronze Skin Realm warrior. It would be easy to kill the three of them.
"What a coincidence. I found Gu Yuanjie's hiding place in the last household..."
Su Yu's heart was pounding.
If he could, he didn't want to meet this ruthless man who turned his beauty around in anger.
Once Gu Yuanjie discovers that his traces are exposed, knowing that he will die, will he recruit a few people to support him?
Su Yu forced himself not to look at Gu Yuanjie, who was holding the toddler, because he was afraid that a look in his eyes would let the other person know that his identity had been discovered.
Once Gu Yuanjie found out that his identity was exposed, in order to prevent the three of them from spreading the news, he would definitely choose to kill the three of them instantly, and then leave with Qiulan before Lin Canglan discovered it.
According to Su Yu's guess, the reason why Gu Yuanjie targeted this family was because he knew that the family had weaknesses that he could exploit and threaten.
Su Yu even had a vague guess that maybe Wang Liang was once Qiulan's guest, and then Qiulan learned about Wang Liang's family structure and informed Gu Yuanjie of all this, and then she got into trouble.
Otherwise, it would be unexplainable that Gu Yuanjie and Qiulan just happened to find Wang Liang. There were so many families in Tai'an City, so why did they find Wang Liang?
There are not so many coincidences in this world.
Of course, these are just Su Yu's speculations and have not been confirmed.
Ji Longcheng looked at Wang Liang and said with a smile: "Sorry for disturbing you. I'll say goodbye."
"Haha, three adults, walk slowly."
When the three of them were finally sent away, Wang Liang felt a sense of relief.
"Let's go."
Ji Longcheng waved, and Chen Beijiang and Su Yu followed closely and left the Wang family.
Everyone from Wang Liang's family to Su Yu who discovered Gu Yuanjie breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
It wasn't until he was far away from Wang's house that Su Yu's nerves relaxed.
The feeling of being on the verge of death is not pleasant.
At the same time, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Do you want to inform the Zhenwu Division or the Wu Family about this matter and get the reward of the thousand yuan crystals?
