Chapter 983 Key Historical Nodes (Part 2)
“Steward Liu, what’s going on?”
Zhu Ping’an slowly came to Steward Liu’s side and raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending He asked softly out of curiosity.
"Master Xiao Zhu." Manager Liu saluted Zhu Ping'an, and then said with a look of shame, "Hey, Mr. Liu's management is not good, and he didn't come up with such a thing, so that Xiao Zhu The adults are laughing.”
Then Manager Liu recounted the whole story.
The incident originated from the day before yesterday. The mansion rewarded each of the new maids with a piece of silk cloth. Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng, the new maids, all received a piece of silk cloth from the storehouse. Among them, Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng received a piece of silk cloth. The cloth is all in peach pattern, and the other silk cloths received by the maid are in other patterns.
Six maids, including Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng, were in the same room, and the silk cloths they received were all locked in cabinets 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 took measurements for the maids to make clothes. The maids made an appointment to ask Si Yiku to make extra outfits with the rewarded silk cloth. When they opened the cabinet to get the silk cloth, everyone found that only one piece of peach pattern silk cloth was left in the cabinet, and the other piece was missing.
The lock is intact and there is no sign of the cabinet being pried, so there is only one possibility - someone opened the cabinet with a key and took away a piece of peach pattern silk cloth.
Both Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng said that the remaining piece of silk cloth belonged to them, and accused the other party of using the key to open the cabinet and stealing the other piece of peach pattern silk cloth. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and argued endlessly, and several supporters testified for them.
Finally, the trouble came to Manager Liu.
That’s when the scene in front of me happened.
“Hey, the silk cloth they received was of peach pattern, and the cabinet only had two keys, which happened to be kept by the two of them. The lock was intact, and there were no signs of the cabinet being broken into. It could have been one of them with the key. I opened the cabinet and took away the silk cloth. However, I asked the guards at the second door and the main gate, but no one had ever gone out with the silk cloth."
Manager Liu frowned. He frowned, shook his head with a grimace, and was helpless.
"Oh, that's right." Zhu Pingan nodded slowly.
"Manager Liu, I'm here"
At this moment, a woman's voice came from the door of the west courtyard, and then an old woman walked out quickly.
After seeing Zhu Pingan, the old woman apologized and bowed. Zhu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.
"Just now, according to your instructions, Manager Liu, I went to their room and searched their luggage boxes, but I couldn't find the missing piece of silk." The old lady came to Manager Liu. , whispered.
The stolen goods were not found, and another effort failed.
After hearing the old mama's reply, Manager Liu frowned even more. How could this case be resolved?
"Master Zhu."
At this time, an official passed by and went outside the mansion. He greeted Zhu Ping'an as he passed by.
"Manager Liu, this case must be settled quickly. There are so many people coming and going here, so the impact is bad."
After the official left, Zhu Ping'an took the opportunity to remind Liu The steward said.
"Master Xiao Zhu, I also want to close the case, but how can I resolve this case?" Manager Liu's face wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he shook his head and poured a bunch of bitter water on Zhu Ping'an, "The silk cloths they both received are all peach blossoms. tattoo, and only the two of them have the key to the cabinet in the room, and everyone has testified for them.”
Every road to solving the case has been blocked. In the view of Manager Liu, this silk cloth case has no clue. The solution is going to be a headless case.
To be honest
The maids present also had the same opinion as Manager Liu, feeling that this was going to be another confusing case.
“It’s actually not difficult.”
Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his lips slightly, showed a confident smile, and said softly to Manager Liu.
What?
It’s not difficult, Master Zhu said it’s not difficult.
Hearing this, Manager Liu opened his mouth in surprise, and then looked at Zhu Pingan with joy.
Master Xiao Zhu is Master Xiao Zhu. So many of us racked our brains all afternoon and couldn’t find anything, but Master Xiao Zhu found a solution after listening to me. No wonder Master Xiao Zhu became so young at such a young age. He has become a fifth-grade official.
At this moment, Zhu Ping'an's image was extremely high in the eyes of Manager Liu.
The maids present also looked up at Zhu Ping'an curiously. They all reflected on themselves. It's true that a person is beyond his appearance. This Master Xiao Zhu looked simple and honest, but he didn't expect to be so powerful. . In their eyes, at this moment Zhu Pingan seemed to have transformed into Zhuge Liang with a feather fan and scarf.
"Please give me your advice, Mr. Xiao Zhu." Manager Liu hurriedly bowed to Zhu Ping'an and asked for advice.
"Haha, since we can't solve the problem, we might as well change our thinking and get rid of the person who asked the question. Then the problem will disappear." Zhu Pingan squinted his eyes and replied with a smile.
Huh?
When Manager Liu, who was full of expectations, heard this, he was stunned by Zhu Ping'an's method.
Solve the person who asked the question? !
The maids present were frightened and looked at Zhu Pingan tremblingly like a group of rabbits.
"Haha, just kidding." Zhu Pingan laughed.
"Master Xiao Zhu." Manager Liu looked at Zhu Ping'an dumbfounded.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, clasped his hands on his chest, looked around everyone, paused for a moment each at the innocent maid Zhang Xiyue and the charming maid Li Caifeng, and said slowly: "Since you all said this The silk cloth is yours, and there are people who testify for you, and no one sees you stealing the silk cloth. In addition, it is not ruled out that a third person took your keys while you were not paying attention, opened the cabinet and stole the silk cloth. There is no suspicion of guilt. I think this is good. Manager Liu, could you please find someone to take this silk cloth from you? Cut it in the middle and divide it into two. You two each have half of the silk fabric. Is that okay?
Hearing this, Manager Liu was stunned for a moment, with a feeling of disappointment in his heart. He thought Zhu Pingan would come up with a way to enlighten him, but he didn't expect it to be such a harmonious method. It was too big and a little disappointing, but after thinking for a while, Manager Liu nodded again.
This is indeed feasible, and it is a good way to solve the problem when you are desperate.
Hmm.
Calm down the trouble.
The more Steward Liu thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible, so he followed Zhu Ping'an's instructions and had someone cut the silk cloth into two pieces with scissors, giving half to the pure maid Zhang Xiyue and the other half to the charming maid Li Caifeng.
So, the case was closed.
Zhang Xiyue and Li Caifeng had no choice but to go back with half of the silk cloth each. The maids rolled their eyes on the way back. They thought it was Zhuge Liang, but they only guessed the beginning correctly and turned out to be just a pig. !
"The case is finally over, thank you Mr. Xiao Zhu." Manager Liu thanked Zhu Ping'an after the maids left.
"Done?"
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh.
“Huh?”
Manager Liu was stunned again, what do you mean, what’s wrong with Mr. Zhu?
"Manager Liu, separate them and arrange them to work in different places, and then let people observe them secretly. The sad and angry one is the owner of the silk cloth, and the happy one is captured."
Zhu Ping'an patted Manager Liu on the shoulder, said lightly, then turned and walked away, hiding his merit and fame.
Guanshi Liu was shocked when he heard this.
Instant
Eight of enlightenment.
He turned around suddenly, and then only saw Zhu Ping'an's retreating back. Under the light of his eyes, he looked so majestic and unpredictable. (End of chapter)
