Escape after crossing

At this time, the back door of the government office opened and an old nanny came out. Seeing Jiang Ziluo just walking to the door, she started to ask.

"Are you the little girl that Granny Liu mentioned? Why didn't Granny Liu come with you?"

Jiang Ziluo was still a little confused, just looking at the person who was talking. Seeing that Jiang Ziluo didn't answer, he hurriedly spoke again.

"Hey, don't just stand there, you'll be busy later. If I didn't need help today, I wouldn't be looking for that old lady Liu."

The old nanny didn't give Jiang Ziluo a chance to speak. She pulled him in and closed the back door.

"Come with me. This old lady Liu is really capable today. She even knows how to dress you neatly and cleanly." The old lady said as she walked and looked at Jiang Ziluo.

"I'm the manager of the maids in the backyard. You can just call me Madam Cui. The prefect's wife is going to host a banquet for her friends today, and there are not enough people in the kitchen. You can help out in the kitchen.

Don't run around, you've done a good job, I won't treat you badly when you leave. Remember, this is the government office, everyone here today is a government official, don't run around, or you'll offend someone."

Jiang Ziluo was wearing women's clothes today, but they were just ordinary clothes that people would wear in the countryside, except there was no pudding.

Jiang Ziluo followed Mother Cui, listened to what she said, and looked around to see what the government mansion looked like during the day.

After Mother Cui finished speaking and didn't hear Jiang Ziluo's reply, she turned around to look at Jiang Ziluo and found that Jiang Ziluo was looking around, so she said impatiently.

"Did you remember what I just said? Don't cause trouble for me, did you hear me?"

"Yes." Jiang Ziluo stopped looking around and answered Mother Cui.

Following Mother Cui, we walked to the kitchen. Mother Cui handed Jiang Ziluo over to the kitchen manager and left.

"What's your name?" The housekeeper saw that Jiang Ziluo was quite good-looking and was dressed neatly and tidily, but the material of his clothes was just ordinary material.

I thought that he was a poor guy and was just here to help. As long as he did the job efficiently and didn't cause any trouble, that would be fine.

"My name is Qing Girl." Jiang Ziluo thought for a moment. Just now, Mother Cui called her Qing Girl.

"Well, Qing girl, follow Mrs. Wang to pick and wash vegetables. Mrs. Wang, work quickly and cleanly. Qing girl will follow you."

The housekeeper said to the person picking vegetables. Jiang Ziluo took a look at this old woman Wang, who was holding a bunch of green vegetables in her rough hands, and heard what the housekeeper said.

Mrs. Wang stood up hurriedly and said with a smile, "Oh, yes, yes." After the housekeeper said that, she left and said to the servants who were working on the side.

"Work more efficiently and carefully. We have guests today, so don't be so careless. Pay attention. Plucking the chicken feathers cleanly, and clean the gills of the fish. Don't break the gallbladder. You guys who are cutting the meat..."

I saw the mother in charge walking and muttering. She would hit the children fiercely if she saw something wrong.

"Grandma Wang, how many vegetables do you want to pick?" Jiang Ziluo asked Grandma Wang in a low voice when he saw the housekeeper walking away.

"Not much. I picked all the vegetables over there, washed them, packed them separately, and put them on the shelf over there so that others can find them when they need them."

Jiang Ziluo followed Mrs. Wang's words and looked at the vegetable basket. Haha, it really was a vegetable basket, big enough to hide Jiang Ziluo's vegetable basket.

Just as Jiang Ziluo was sighing at the large number of dishes, several maids gathered together and gossiped. At first, their voices were not loud, so Jiang Ziluo could not hear clearly.

So Jiang Ziluo calmed down and listened carefully. He didn't know if he was really listening carefully or if the old women were just speaking too loudly.

Jiang Ziluo actually heard it clearly. Those old women heard about Wu Shijie's murder from the people who were doing the shopping.

The old people serving in the mansion all knew the relationship between Wu Shijie and Wu Shiyong. Several of them speculated whether the prefect would arrest Wu Shijie.

Jiang Ziluo didn't care about this matter. She was just curious. Something was lost in this mansion, but no one seemed to know about it? Could it be that they haven't found it yet?

This shouldn't be the case. It's understandable that the silver and banknotes were not found, but it shouldn't be the case that the jewelry and head ornaments were not found, right?

If you found that something was missing, shouldn't you look for it everywhere? Why is this mansion hosting a dinner party today?

This made Jiang Ziluo a little confused. Could it be that the wife of the prefect didn't care about that at all? Did she regard money as dirt?

While I was thinking, someone interrupted me. "Hurry up and wash the vegetables you picked. One person picks and one person washes. You guys are wasting time like this."

"Okay, I'll wash it right away. I'll wash it right away."

"Hurry up, hurry up, you've been dawdling all day."

Jiang Ziluo really experienced how a servant feels. When Mrs. Wang saw that the servant had left, she said to Jiang Ziluo.

"Qing girl, there is a water tank in the yard and a clean wooden basin over there. Wash these vegetables carefully and I will pick them."

As Mrs. Wang spoke, she pointed something out to Jiang Ziluo. Where was it?

Jiang Ziluo also listened carefully. After Wang Po finished speaking, he stood up and took the vegetables in the wooden basin and went out to the yard. After putting it down, he came back in and took out a clean wooden basin.

Jiang Ziluo scooped water from the water tank and washed the vegetables carefully. She thought that this would not work, she could not get any information, so she had to think of a way to go out for a walk and get some information.

After Jiang Ziluo washed a pot of vegetables, he took it to the kitchen, found Wang Po and said to her.

"Grandma Wang, where is the toilet? I, I need to pee urgently."

Seeing Jiang Ziluo's anxious look, Mrs. Wang did not doubt it and said, "Go out of the yard, turn right, and then turn right again at the intersection, and you will see it."

"Oh, okay, thank you, mother-in-law." Jiang Ziluo thanked her and walked out in a hurry. After leaving the yard, Jiang Ziluo walked to another yard.

I walked carefully, looking around to remember the road and direction. Maybe because of the banquet today, everything was clean.

Occasionally seeing servants cleaning, Jiang Ziluo would imitate them, lower his head and walk away quickly.

Just as Jiang Ziluo was looking around, a well-dressed maid saw Jiang Ziluo looking this way and that.

"Hey, what about you? Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ziluo glanced at the maid, lowered his head, and said timidly, "Sister, I'm new here. I just went to the toilet and couldn't find my way back."

Hearing that she was new, the maid didn't make things difficult for Jiang Ziluo. "Where are you going? I'll show you the way. Don't go any further. That's where we'll entertain guests today."

"Yes, sister. I want to go to the kitchen. Please show me the way."

Jiang Ziluo knew the way, so he didn't listen carefully, but secretly looked in the direction the maid had just gone, trying to see something.

After being shown the way, Jiang Ziluo thanked him and left. It was not that Jiang Ziluo gave up, but the person who showed her the way kept looking at her, and there was nothing she could do if she didn't leave!

When Jiang Ziluo could no longer see the maid, he stopped. He looked back and saw that there was no one there. The maid also left, so Jiang Ziluo came out again.

Knowing that that direction was for the reception, Jiang Ziluo changed his route and walked on the other side. Unexpectedly, this time he arrived at the laundry room.

Several maids who were washing clothes together came together and said, "Sister Xiaoju, this morning when I went to the Madam's to get dirty clothes, I heard the Madam and the fat nanny beside her say that they wanted to investigate secretly.

The master didn't let anyone know and told Fat Mo to pay more attention to the people who came in and out of Madam's room in the next two days. Sister Xiaoju, do you think Madam has lost something?"

"It looks like something was lost, but I don't know why they're checking secretly? We should be careful recently."

"Well, Sister Xiaoju, what did you say the Madam lost? And who stole it?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it's not us who took it. Don't worry too much. Just do our job well."

After listening to this, Jiang Ziluo left. Now that he knew the information he wanted, he didn't need to stay here any longer.

He avoided people, came to the wall and climbed over it. Jiang Ziluo did not stay outside and went straight back to Huajianfu.

At this time, Leng Chenming had also returned and was sitting in a private room on the second floor, eating. Not long after he started eating, Xuanyi came back again.

Leng Chenming knew that Xuan Yi would be back soon, and as soon as he came back, Shopkeeper Zhang told him about Jiang Ziluo's visit.

When Xuanyi came back, Doctor Ju told Xuanyi that Wu Shiyong left before he could tell him that Doctor Hu was missing.

Leng Chenming found out, so he asked Xuan San to find out the news and asked Xuan Yi to go to eat. Just after dinner, Jiang Ziluo came back.
