Chapter 983 Key historical nodes (below)

"Guan Liu, what's going on?"

Zhu Pingan walked slowly to Guanshi Liu, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked softly pretending to be curious.

"Master Xiao Zhu." Steward Liu bowed to Zhu Ping'an, and then said with a face of shame, "Hey, Mr. Liu is incompetent in management. I didn't succeed in thinking of such a thing, which made Master Zhu laugh."

Then, Guanshi Liu recounted the whole story.

The incident started the day before yesterday, when the mansion uniformly rewarded each of the maids who entered the mansion with a piece of silk cloth. Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng, the new maids who entered the mansion, all received a bolt of silk cloth from the warehouse. Among them, the silk cloth received by Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng The cloth is all peach pattern, and the silk cloth received by other maids is of other patterns.

Zhang Xiyue, Li Caifeng and other six maids were divided into one room, and the silk cloth they received was also locked in the cabinet in the room. The cabinet is shared by the maids. There are two keys, one is in charge of Zhang Xiyue and the other is in charge of Li Caifeng.

At noon today, Si Yiku uniformly made clothes for the maids, and the maids agreed to use the rewarded silk cloth to make an extra suit for Si Yiku. When they opened the cabinet to get the silk cloth, everyone found that there was only one piece of peach-patterned silk cloth left in the cabinet, and the other one was missing.

The lock was intact, and the cabinet showed no signs of being picked, so there was only one possibility—someone opened the cabinet with a key and took away a bolt of peach-patterned silk cloth.

Both Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng said that the remaining piece of silk belonged to them, accusing the other party of opening the cabinet with a key and stealing another piece of peach-patterned silk. The two sides insisted on their own opinions and argued endlessly, with several supporters testifying for them.

Finally, the trouble came to Guanshi Liu.

This is how the scene in front of me happened.

"Hey, both of the silk cloths they received were peach-patterned. There were only two keys to the cabinet, which happened to be kept by them. The lock was intact and there was no sign of the cabinet being picked. It could only be between the two of them. One of them opened the cabinet with a key and took the silk cloth. However, I had someone ask the guards at the second gate and the main gate, and no one had ever taken the silk cloth out during these two days. Liu was really at a loss.”

Guanshi Liu frowned, shook his head with a bitter face, helpless.

"Oh, that's it." Zhu Ping'an nodded slowly.

"Guan Liu, old man"

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the door of the west courtyard, and then an old nun walked out quickly.

After seeing Zhu Ping'an, the old mother apologized and saluted. Zhu Pingan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

"Just now, according to your orders, Guanshi Liu, I went to their room and searched their luggage boxes upside down, but I didn't find the missing piece of silk." The old mother came to Guanshi Liu and said in a low voice.

The stolen goods were not found, and another effort failed.

After listening to the old nanny's reply, Guanshi Liu frowned even more. How can this case be resolved?

"Master Zhu."

At this time, a subordinate official passed by and went out of the mansion. He greeted Zhu Ping'an as he passed by.

"Liu Guanshi, this case needs to be concluded quickly. There are people coming and going here. It's not good to see the impact."

After the official left, Zhu Pingan took the opportunity to remind Liu Guanshi.

"Master Zhu, I also want to close the case, but how can this case be settled?" Guanshi Liu wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd, shook his head and poured a lot of bitter water on Zhu Pingan, "The silk cloths they both received were peach blossoms. It's tattooed, and only the two of them have the key to the cabinet in the room, and they both have someone to testify for them."

All roads to solve the case were blocked. From Guanshi Liu's point of view, the silk cloth case had no solution, and it was about to become a headless case.

to be frank

The maids present also had the same opinion as Guanshi Liu, thinking that this was going to become another muddled case.

"It's actually not difficult."

Zhu Ping'an slightly pulled the corners of his lips, showing a confident smile, and said softly to Liu Guanshi.

What?

It's not difficult, Mr. Zhu said it's not difficult.

When Guanshi Liu heard the words, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then looked at Zhu Pingan with joy.

Master Xiao Zhu is Master Xiao Zhu, so many of us have racked our brains for a whole noon, but Master Xiao Zhu has a solution after listening to me, no wonder Master Xiao Zhu has become a fifth-rank member at a young age Woolen cloth.

At this moment, Zhu Ping'an's image was lofty in Liu Guanshi's eyes.

The maids present also looked up at Zhu Pingan curiously, all self-criticism in their hearts, it is really not good for appearances, this little Master Zhu looks simple and honest, but he did not expect to be so powerful. In their eyes, at this moment Zhu Ping'an seemed to have transformed into Zhuge Liang with a feather fan and a scarf.

"Master Xiao Zhu, please give me some advice." Steward Liu hurriedly bowed to Zhu Pingan for advice.

"Hehe, since you can't solve the problem, you might as well change your mind and get rid of the person who asked the question, and the problem will disappear." Zhu Pingan replied with a smile and squinted his eyes.

ha?

Liu Guanshi, who was full of expectations, heard the words, and was directly stunned by Zhu Ping'an's method.

The person who solves the drop-off problem? !

The maids present were taken aback and looked at Zhu Pingan tremblingly like a group of rabbits.

"Hehe, just kidding." Zhu Pingan laughed.

"Master Xiao Zhu." Guanshi Liu looked at Zhu Ping'an dumbfounded.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, put his hands on his chest, looked around the crowd, paused at the pure maid Zhang Xiyue and the charming maid Li Caifeng, and said slowly: "Since you all said this The piece of silk is your own, and there are people who testify for you, and no one saw you stealing the silk. In addition, it is not ruled out that a third person will steal your key while you are not paying attention, open the cabinet and steal the silk. There is no suspicion, I think this is good, Liu Guanshi, please find someone to cut the silk cloth from the middle, and divide it into two parts. You two will each have half of the silk cloth, so it will be fine."

Is this okay?

Guanshi Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, feeling a sense of disappointment in his heart. He thought that Zhu Ping'an would come up with a way to enlighten himself, but he didn't expect it to be such a kind of method. The gap was too big, and he was a little disappointed. But after thinking for a while, Guanshi Liu nodded again.

This is indeed feasible, and it is a good way to solve the problem when there is no way out.

Um.

Calm things down.

The more Liu Guanshi thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, so he followed Zhu Ping'an's instructions and asked someone to cut the silk cloth into two with scissors. One half was given to the pure maid Zhang Xiyue, and the other half was given to the charming maid Li Caifeng.

So, the case is closed.

Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng had no choice but to walk back with half of the silk cloth each. All the maids rolled their eyes on the way back. They thought it was Zhuge Liang, but they only guessed the beginning correctly. It turned out to be just a pig!

"The case is finally settled, thank you, Mrs. Zhu." After the maids left, Manager Liu thanked Zhu Ping'an.

"Are you done?"

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help laughing.

"what?"

Guanshi Liu was stunned again, what do you mean, what happened to Mr. Zhu?

"Guard Liu, you separate them, arrange them to work in different places, and then let people observe them secretly. The sad and angry ones are the owners of the silk cloth, and the happy ones should be arrested."

Zhu Pingan patted Guanshi Liu on the shoulder, said something lightly, then turned and left, hiding his merit and fame.

Guanshi Liu was shocked when he heard the words.

instant

Enlightenment.

Turned around suddenly, and then only saw Zhu Ping'an's back, which was so majestic and unpredictable under the eyes.
