"I still don't know your name?"
"Your subordinate will fight for it."
"You need me for something?"
Xu Zheng scratched his head and replied embarrassedly, "I heard that Lord Xiao Jiang is very good at judging people, but he saw that Lord Wu cheated in the imperial examination the first time he met him."
This was just an excuse, the real reason was that Xu Zheng had heard about Xin Sheng's thoughts. But His Majesty had ordered that it could not be spread outside.
Therefore, he came up with this excuse.
Jiang Yueyang pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly. She didn't know how to read faces.
"so?"
"So I would like to ask Lord Xiao Jiang to help look at a person and see if he is a thief."
Jiang Yueyang really didn't expect things to turn out like this, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"No...not possible?" Xu Zheng asked cautiously.
"Uh..." Jiang Yueyang looked embarrassed, "Actually, I can't read faces. I said that that day purely to throw dirty water on the fat guy. Who knew it would work out like that."
Xu Zheng: If I hadn't known about the inner voice, I would have believed it. By the way, is it so open to throw dirty water on someone?
Although everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion was working, they also pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the two.
People who are far away can’t hear it, and I wish I could have a pair of sharp ears.
"Is that so? Then I won't bother you anymore, Master Xiao Jiang."
Xu Zheng made a disappointed expression, but in fact he was thinking about how to reveal the information to Jiang Yueyang without leaving any trace, so that he could know whether that person was...
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueyang called him when he turned around.
"Master Xu, although I can't read faces, I can analyze it for you. If you don't mind, you can tell me about it."
Xu Zheng immediately said, "I don't mind, I don't mind. It is my honor that Lord Xiao Jiang can give me analysis."
Xu Zheng moved a chair and placed it next to the table, then sat upright.
"In the past month or so, every time I went home, I found something missing from my house, but the next day, the missing things reappeared at home. In addition, I also found that my mother often left early and came back late, and she was particularly happy. When I asked her where she had been, she would not tell me.
So, two days ago, I went out and returned home, and then I saw my mother going out with a package. I followed her and found that my mother went to the back door of a wealthy family to meet a servant and gave him the package. "
Jiang Yueyang looked at Xu Zheng meaningfully, "That servant is... a man?"
Xu Zheng nodded, then realized something and quickly explained, "Master Xiao Jiang, it's not what you think."
Jiang Yueyang pulled the corner of his mouth and analyzed: "According to what you said, I don't think that man is a thief. The things lost from your home should be given to him by your mother. For some reason, the man didn't want to accept those things, so he returned them."
Xu Zheng thought so too. What he really wanted to know was what kind of relationship existed between his mother and the servant.
So, he pursed his lips and asked, "Master Xiao Jiang, can you guess who that servant is?"
"Why doesn't Lord Xu ask your mother directly?"
[Host, why are you asking this question when you already know the answer? ] The system said.
Xu Zheng couldn't help but get excited when he heard the inner voice, but he didn't forget to reply: "I haven't figured out how to start yet."
Jiang Yueyang flatly denied the system's words, "How could I have that?"
The system snorted, [Who are you kidding? The host clearly saw the worry in Master Xu's heart. ]
[I think that it is better to ask for the truth rather than to trouble myself. After all, whether you ask or not, the facts are there. ]
The people in Wenyuan Pavilion nodded silently. This is true. No matter how unwilling you are to face it, the fact is the fact. It doesn't mean that the fact does not exist if you don't face it.
That would only be deceiving yourself.
The system nodded in agreement, [In fact, not all facts are difficult to accept. ]
[Hmm~ It sounds like you know the inside story. ]
[The truth was right in front of Lord Xu, but he was too worried to notice anything else.]
Jiang Yueyang was an impatient person, and upon hearing this, he couldn't wait to ask: [Hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense. ]
[If Master Xu looks carefully, he will find that he actually looks a lot like that servant.]
Everyone present widened their eyes slightly. What this meant was...
Xu Zhengze was immediately cleared up. If the servant really thought the same as he did, then all of his mother's behavior could be explained.
The only thing that is puzzling is why that person became a slave, why...
At this moment, Jiang Yueyang suddenly realized that he seemed to have left Xu Zheng alone for a long time, and hurriedly said, "Master Xu, if you can't ask your mother, you might as well ask that servant. But if you have any concerns, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After hearing Xu Zheng's thoughts, his mind suddenly became clear. As long as his mother and that man were innocent, he could accept anything!
"I'll ask when I get home."
Jiang Yueyang smiled at him.
Xu Zheng bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiao Jiang, for your analysis. I would like to express my gratitude."
"We are all colleagues, no need to be polite."
"Yes, yes, then I will be busy now?"
Jiang Yueyang nodded and watched him happily return to his seat.
Then, she saw several colleagues coming over to talk to Xu Zheng. Their voices were so low that she couldn't hear what they were saying.
But she didn't care much about it. She cared more about the identity of the slave.
[Xiaogua, is that servant Mr. Xu's brother? ]
The system responded affirmatively.
[Then how did he become a slave? Lord Xu seems to be unaware that he has a brother. ]
Over there, Xu Zheng hushed to his colleagues surrounding him, signaling them to be quiet.
Everyone was very cooperative; they also wanted to know.
So, while pretending to work, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
[Lord Xu's family fled to the capital city due to famine. Before that, Lord Xu's mother had a child, but the child was lost accidentally. It was only a month ago that the servant met Lord Xu's mother by chance, and the mother and child recognized each other.]
【Then why didn’t they tell Lord Xu. 】
[Because the servant knew that his brother had become an official, and he was now a lowly slave, he was afraid that if others knew about it, it would affect Lord Xu's career.]
For officials, reputation is very important. Having a slave brother will have some influence, the most obvious of which is being pointed at by others.
Look, the expressions of several people changed.
Jiang Yueyang: [A hero is not judged by his origin. A few hundred years ago, it was not certain who was more noble than who. Moreover, I heard from my father that General Zhenguo was also a slave in the past, but he was also worshipped by the people. I wonder what Lord Xu will choose? ]
Everyone pondered...
