Master in charge of the case: Our county magistrate has a black belly

Chapter 43

Xiang Shi hurriedly put away the ledger on the table, "He won't know anything, I have to be careful."

The butler quickly ran to the door and opened it, "Lord Lu, please don't be surprised if you miss something." The butler said respectfully.

"It's okay." Lu Yu waved his hands and looked at the fat butler. .

"Dog thing." The butler kicked the two young men at the door to the side, "I don't know Mount Tai with eyes." Turning around, he greeted Lu Yu with a smile, "Master Lu, please."

"En." Lu Yu walked ahead and entered the Xiang Mansion.

Lu Yu saw that Xiang Shi's house was all made of wood, and there were not many pieces of porcelain, so he didn't look very wealthy.

"Master Lu, please sit down, come and serve tea." The butler said courteously.

A few people sat down, and a few maidservants began to serve tea. Han Quce took a sip of the tea and smiled. This tea... tsk tsk.
"Yo... this is Master Lu." Xiang Yuanwai walked over from the back hall and bowed to Lu Yu.

"Member Xiang is exempt from courtesy." Lu Yuxu gave him a hand.

Han Quce looked carefully at Xiang Yuanwai, this Yuanwai was really not easy.

"Member Xiang, do you know why we are here?" Lu Yu picked up the teacup and pretended to taste the tea.

"This...I don't know...my lord, I have always obeyed the law, and I have never done anything bad." Xiang Yuanwai looked very innocent.

"Did you know about the recent arson case?"

"Yes, I heard that the weather was dry, and the candle caught fire when it accidentally fell down."

"Well, but it's actually a murder case."

"Ah. Killing, this..."

"The murder suspect has been found."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"However, the suspect seems to say he knows you."

"Know me...this..." Member Xiang's eyes dodged a little. "There are so many people who know me."

"That's right, but I heard he said that these gold bars belong to your family?" Lu Yu asked directly, without tact.

"I. Yes. It belongs to my family. This is my life savings." Xiang Shi wiped the sweat off his face.

"There are quite a lot, but why haven't I heard of your report?"

"I, I, I... are planning to report the crime."

"It's just that our master believes that no one will steal in this good county, so let us search carefully at home. The master plans to report the crime today, but you will come to the door." Xiang Steward said while helping Xiang Yuanwai.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Member Xiang nodded, "Master Lu came here, and I am far away from welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's okay." Lu Yu couldn't understand his hypocrisy, and had to ignore him, "I took the liberty to come here, but I think the gold bars are too large, and it's better to return them to the original owner. Xia Yan." Lu Yu Greeting Xia Yan, Xia Yan spread out thirty gold bars in front of Xiang Xiang.

"Then I would like to thank you, sir." Member Xiang thanked him with his hands clasped.

"By the way, I also heard Wang Bing talk about selling people." Lu Yu crossed his legs and drank tea.

"Population?" Member Wai trembled as he touched the gold bars.

"I heard that he made a fortune with you outside the staff, and I want to join in."

"How can there be such a thing? The adults are joking, and the villains don't know Wang Bing."

"Then how does he know that you have gold at home?" Han Quce asked with a smile.

"Wang Bing might have come to our Xiang residence by stealing. He happened to see these thirty gold bars, so he stole them." Xiang Yuanwai answered satisfactorily, "By the way, who are these?" Xiang Yuanwai changed the subject.

"I am the master of this county, Han Quce." Han Quce nodded his head as a greeting.
