A maid who looks like an ordinary girl on weekdays can actually do martial arts, and she's pretty good at it.
Otherwise, how could he defeat the enemy with one move and show such killing intent?
The speed was so fast that no one expected it.
By the time he reacted, the fifth old man's wails had already spread throughout the flower hall.
Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang were shocked and ran over immediately.
He said anxiously.
"What do you want to do? Why don't you let my grandfather go quickly?"
"It's so outrageous that a little maid dares to cause trouble in the Duke's mansion. Beating the fifth old master is a death penalty. Are you tired of living?"
The two of them said that they were about to step forward to hold Li Zhu's hand, but they were surrounded by the Dongyuan boys who rushed in from outside.
Seeing a promising situation, he suddenly felt like a turtle in a urn. No matter how loud Shang Yuan's voice was, he died down at this moment.
Pulling his son Shang Wulang, he took a step back, looked at Du Jingyi with fear and said.
"What do you want to do?"
Du Jingyi smiled, then sat down, and then said calmly.
"Look what Uncle Fourth said, didn't you come to talk to me early in the morning? Why did it become what I wanted to do again?"
"Just keep talking, why are you moving your hands?"
Wulang's wife was also frightened, but she still replied with a stiff neck.
Unexpectedly, Du Jingyi smiled and looked at her with a lot more threats.
"What the fifth sister-in-law said is true. Just keep talking, why do you use any hands? But just now I saw the fifth uncle rushing towards me and trying to beat me up. I, the maid, was afraid and that's why I succeeded, wasn't I?"
"You! Who said grandfather was going to beat you? He obviously wanted to come closer and talk to you."
Shang Wulang opened his mouth and began to quibble.
Even if we don't discuss Qi Er's matter today, we still have to confirm that Du Jingyi allowed his servant to injure his master.
In this way, they can be considered to have the leverage in their own hands, so that they can get the jobs they want.
It's a pity that Du Jingyi had good intentions in his mind, but it was Du Jingyi who couldn't stand his opponent.
She picked up a cup of tea at her hand and smelled it, then said with disgust.
"This tea is not good. Why does it smell like mold?"
He didn't take what Shang Goro said.
When Shang Wulang saw that she was ignoring him, he was filled with anger.
But the grandfather on the ground was still howling, and there were young men and women standing all around.
If these few people want to be hostile to so many people, they are afraid that they will fall into the tiger's mouth.
Therefore, we will not easily start another war.
Seeing that Shang Wulang only dared to hum and say some words, but did not dare to take any substantive actions.
Du Jingyi already had a rough idea in his mind.
It seems that these five old masters are not very important in their eyes.
Since they are all scattered, why bother pretending to be united?
So, after thinking about it, I decided to defeat them one by one.
The hardest bone to bite is naturally the madman, Mr. Wu.
But madmen also have weaknesses. For example, the one he cares about most is Shang Goro.
After all, this is the only child and grandson of their fifth family.
Even if Wulang's wife is pregnant, who can tell whether it is a son or a daughter before she gets pregnant?
Therefore, Du Jingyi pointed all his fingers at Shang Wulang.
Then he said slowly.
"In the twelfth year of Xian De, Qi Er's manager relied on his distant relationship with his fifth uncle and grandmother to work as an errand in the Duke's mansion. At first, he was just a boy on the second door, running errands."
"But in just three years, he turned from a young boy into a steward. It is said that he was recommended to the position because he was considerate in his work and won the favor of his fifth cousin. But I asked Aunt Dou, in the tenth year of Xian De
From two to fifteen years ago, when my mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu, was still in charge of the house, I didn't hear that Manager Qi had any great abilities."
She spoke calmly, but it made Shang Wulang feel nervous.
Qi Er was able to become a steward from a young boy. Naturally, he got this position because he participated in some shady things and made great contributions to the fifth house.
I thought that after so many years, this matter would have been forgotten.
But I didn't expect that Du Jingyi would find out today.
She had only been in the government for three years, how could she possibly know that!
Could it be that someone snitched on you?
The panic that flashed through the eyes of the people in the fifth house was all clearly seen by Du Jingyi.
There was a slight smile on her lips, and she continued with a hint of sarcasm.
"Mother Dou, I remember you mentioned to me that when Mrs. Wei succeeded to the throne of the Duke's wife, she was in the 16th year of her reign, right?"
"Mrs. Madam, yes."
"Then the second person in charge of Qi is really a talented person. He stepped on my mother-in-law and delegated power. During the free time when Mrs. Wei took over, he was promoted very fast. He didn't have to let outsiders know, and they thought he had done something shameful.
How can human beings be so lucky?"
Du Jingyi spoke like the judges in the playbook deciding cases.
Every word fell into the hearts of the people in Wufang like a slap in the face.
They were so shocked that they were frightened and frightened.
Especially the fourth lady, Mrs. Ni, was visibly panicked.
If you look carefully, the beads of sweat are almost on your bun.
You can tell at first glance that there must be something fishy inside.
Not long after Du Jingyi finished speaking, even the fifth old man who was struggling on the ground did not dare to say a word.
It's easier to talk about other things. If that matter is really dug out, it would be impossible for the people in the fifth house to gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion.
Therefore, he also felt guilty.
Butler He and Aunt Dou were so sharp-eyed that they immediately saw the flaw.
My mind was racing through what happened back then, but no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't think of any flaws.
Those who have experienced it personally don’t know, so how did the young lady know the secret?
The two of them were even more confused.
Shang Yuan has the most suspicious personality.
Everyone in the room fell silent when Du Jingyi said a few words.
He also felt very scared.
But the more times like this, the more calm you need to be.
This happened ten years ago. Not to mention the evidence, even the only witness, Manager Qi, was dead.
So, what if it is found out?
Can they all be sent to the authorities for investigation?
He didn't believe it.
So, this was the tone of the bet, Shang Yu'an stood up and said calmly.
"I don't understand what Rokuro's wife said. Today we are here just to ask why Rokuro is so ruthless and even kills someone. After all, we are also officials and we have laws.
Yes, it would be too cruel to kill a servant indiscriminately like this."
