Chapter 100 Gao's House

Gao's House, the most mysterious house in Beijing.

The area is half of Shi Mansion, although there is still a big gap, but Shi Mansion is one of the best mansions in Beijing, only Zhao Mingde's private mansion can compare with Shi Mansion. Man Rong just moved into Gao Mansion, and she has not been to many places. She only marked the rooms she has been to.

In addition, she also wrote down the tasks assigned to them by the housekeeper.

Manrong went to take care of the flowers.

"Flowers, watering, fertilizing, moving them back inside when it's raining or windy... it's really about raising flowers."

Su Yan had a complicated expression, "Manrong is only responsible for five pots of flowers."

Liang Yi sighed, "It's so hard."

Su Yan: “…”

Liang Yi said confidently: "I just need to be taken care of every day, but they have to take care of the flowers. Isn't that hard? I will have to arrange more rest days for them in the future."

Su Yan: “…”

Stupid but kind.

Su Yan asked: "Why don't you just dismiss them and take care of yourself?"

Liang Yi looked at Su Yan in a daze.

Su Yan couldn't bear to torment him any further.

Liang Yi whispered: "I seem to hear someone say I'm stupid again..."

Su Yan: "It's fake, don't believe her, the little prince is the smartest!"

Liang Yi: “…”

To be honest, Liang Yi didn't quite believe it.

"But what you said makes sense. I don't think I need so many people to take care of me, like putting on clothes..."

Liang Yi reflected on himself, while Su Yan continued to study Gao's house.

The housekeeper assigned Manrong very few tasks, but Manrong had just arrived and might need some adaptation time.

Su Yan and Man Rong agreed on the time and place for their next meeting.

Man Rong asked from the other side of the fence: "Do you need help finding that girl?"

Su Yan once mentioned Xue Yaoyu.

She replied: "Just take care of yourself and don't worry about anything else."

After Man Rong left, Liang Yi asked, "It would be more convenient for her to inquire, why not ask her for help?"

Su Yan said: "If Xue Yaoyu is really in danger, Manrong is alone in Gao's house, and she will be in danger if she rashly asks about it."

Liang Yi: “…”

He began to reflect sadly again, why didn't he think of protecting Manrong's safety? !

The royal family, it’s all their fault!

Su Yan and Man Rong agreed to meet again in two days.

Liang Yi asked: "What should we do next? Wait for Manrong to find clues?"

Su Yan said: "Let's go meet an old friend."

Liang Yi: “?”

Does Su Yan have old friends in Beijing?

After a stick of incense, Liang Yi met Su Yan's old friend.

He walked forward in surprise and asked, "Tui'er, have you showered and changed clothes too?"

My hair is finally not messy anymore, and I can smell the scent of soapberries.

Shi Er: “…”

He dismissed his subordinates and glared at Liang Yi.

Liang Yi was even angrier than him. He asked Su Yan, "When did you and Tui'er become friends?!"

It sounds like they have a closer relationship than that!

Shi Er said angrily: "Your Highness, can you please speak properly?!"

He moves his legs one after another, what do he want to do!

Liang Yishen said gently, "I was worried that you would be even more annoyed if I called you by your full name, so I gave you a nickname."

Shi Er asked doubtfully, "What's the full name?"

"Doglegs——"

If Liang Yi didn't still have a status, Su Yan believed that Shi Er would immediately cut him into pieces. Even if he couldn't kill him, he would still bite off a piece of his flesh.

Fortunately, both sides are people of status, so even if they really want to fight to the death with the other side, they cannot really do it.

Su Yan had many questions to ask, and couldn't help complaining about the two of them: They were just fighting and making noises, and they were not as steady as a three-year-old child. What was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, what was His Royal Highness -

The two of them stopped abruptly, straightened their clothes, and returned to their original positions.

Shi Er secretly looked at Su Yan. Wasn’t he scolding him just now?

Liang Yi: Hehe, someone is scolding my legs, and he’s doing a good job.

Su Yan tried to salute Shi Er.

Shi Er stopped him, "You and I are friends, you can speak frankly."

Su Yan's etiquette was so ugly that he couldn't bear to watch it.

Su Yan said, "Minister Shi, I have something important to ask of you. As you know, I am a coroner of low status."

Shi Er said nothing.

She is indeed of humble status, but the people around her are not.

How could ordinary people dare to look down on her after seeing how Liang Yi and Shi Yangui treated her?

Su Yan seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "I never like to rely on others. I am still young, and I will do what I can do myself."

Liang Yi thought about their conversation just now and seemed to have been hinted at.

Su Yan continued, "I want to find a job. Your Highness is too out of touch with the world and doesn't understand these things. I don't have any other friends in the capital, so I have no choice but to ask the Minister if there are any good jobs in the capital."

Shi Er was trying to figure out what Su Yan meant by this. He didn't believe that Su Yan really wanted to get a job.

Shi Er said, "Is the monthly salary from Jingzhao Prefecture not enough?"

Su Yan said bluntly: "I am the lowest class, how much money can Jingzhao Prefecture give me?"

Shi Er: “…”

She wasn't polite at all.

Shi Er said: "In the capital, if you want a good job with a high monthly salary..."

Shi Er first thought of Yanqing Pavilion.

As the largest brothel in the capital, the girls in Yanqing Pavilion can obviously get a lot of money.

But if he dared to say this, he believed that Liang Yi would chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

Shi Er forgot to guess Su Yan's intention for a moment and racked his brains to help her think of a "good job".

"If you only care about the monthly salary, there is actually a good place..." Shi Er said, "I know they need to find a maid almost every month."

Shi Er just remembered that Su Yan couldn't really just want a job, so he suddenly realized, "You want to ask about Gao Zhai?"

Su Yan said innocently: "I don't know, I just want to earn more money for subsidies. The salary of a coroner is too low."

Shi Er knew that Su Yan was wary of him.

There is nothing we can do about it, since he is Zhao Mingde's dog...

Bah, they have all been led astray by Liang Yi!

Shi Er glared at Liang Yi.

Liang Yi: “?”

He's sitting there obediently and distracted, why are you glaring at him?

Shi Er said, "If you want to ask about Gao's house, I really don't know much about it. The higher-ups have told us not to bother with Gao's house when investigating a case. I have never investigated Gao's house."

Shi Er's words were quite frank.

Liang Yi said, "The boss? Zhao Mingde? The Gao residence belongs to Zhao Mingde? No way, isn't it said that Mr. Gao is in some business, a merchant?"

Shi Er was speechless and said, "How many civil and military officials in the court are attached to General Manager Zhao? I can't even count the number of people who can come to say hello. Anyone who has a vested interest in General Manager Zhao is possible."

Liang Yi: "You are right, it is Zhao Mingde!"

Shi Er: “…”

Su Yan said: "If you are just living in Beijing, is it necessary to say hello in advance?"

Shi Er said truthfully: "Since someone has informed me, there is no need for me to be hard on myself. I have never checked."

Liang Yi: "So you just can't get along with the common people."

Shi Er: “…”

He forbeared and said: "I have my own difficulties."

Liang Yi spread his hands, "I understand. We still have to rely on Zhao Mingde for food."

Shi Er: “!!”

Su Yan has a headache.

When will this farce of three-year-old children fighting end?

She stopped the two of them loudly, "Minister Shi - can you tell me where Master Gao is from? If he is from the capital, he would not be so secretive. When did he come to the capital? What business is he doing? These must be kept secret from your superiors. We are in contact so frequently, I am worried that it will implicate you."

Su Yan was willing to ask Shi Er for help because he actually trusted her.

She is young and doesn't understand the ways of the world, but she is willing to believe that people are not black and white.

Judging from the current situation of Gao's house, it is not really Zhao Mingde's residence. Just as Shi Er said, perhaps Gao's house is only related to people who are dependent on Zhao Mingde.

Shi Er said: "This matter should not be made public. I will go and find out what the Gao residence is like. You must not barge in without permission."

Su Yan nodded repeatedly.

Shi Er said: "You have other questions."

Su Yan was surprised and asked: "How do you know?"

"You are just checking Mr. Gao's identity. You shouldn't come to the Ministry of Justice to find me."

Su Yan smiled and said, "I also want to ask, how many missing persons cases have been reported in Beijing recently?"

It's okay to ask Jingzhao Prefecture about this matter, but we don't know where the prefect is from, so it's easy to alert the enemy.

Shi Er was different. Su Yan knew clearly that he was Zhao Mingde's man, and Shi Er also knew it.

Shi Er said: "There have been five cases in the past month."

"What about the past three months, or the past six months?"

Shi Er said: "From the perspective of quantity, there is nothing unusual."

Su Yan asked again: "Who are the missing people? Are there any young women?"

Shi Er thought about it and said, "Young women go missing almost every month."

Liang Yi exclaimed: "Tie'er is really amazing. He knows everything clearly."

Shi Er rolled his eyes at Liang Yi and said, "The missing case is closely related to the murder case. I am the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, so I must understand it."

Just because Shi Er could blurt it out, Su Yan dared to say that he put his heart into government affairs.

Su Yan asked: "Can you show me these files as well?"

Shi Er agreed to Su Yan, but couldn't help asking, "Is there any benefit if I help you?"

Liang Yi smiled and said, "I won't call you legs anymore."

Shi Er: “?”

Liang Yi said: "I call you Brother Legs."

Shi Er: “…”

Su Yan said: "Isn't this part of Shi Shi's job?"

Shi Er: “…”

He muttered to himself, can't you just say that you treat him as a friend?
