Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

Lily of the Valley strode forward and kicked the old man in the chest while he was still cursing.

The man was kicked away and hit the door with a bang. The wooden door creaked and was pushed open a little.

Then there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground and the knock on the door.

"Oh, help! Someone is being beaten up or murdered! Robbers are at our door! Help, help!"

It seems that the kick just now was a little light and it didn't hurt enough.

He looked quite energetic. Shen Ruyi didn't call for a stop, so Linglan walked closer.

He kicked the door open with his foot, headed towards the yard, then changed his foot and kicked the dog in the stomach.

This thing drew a complete arc and flew more than two meters away.

With a "bang", it fell to the ground, curled up into a heap, and took a defensive posture.

Only then did he shut up, stopped shouting, and fear began to show in his eyes.

"Grandpa? Whose? Why, you're not yelling anymore? You're not being a jerk anymore? Keep going!"

Linglan looked at the dog on the ground and said, "If you can't control your big mouth, I'm going to kill you."

After hearing this, the dog immediately trembled and pretended to be dead, curling up even tighter.

"Tsk, I thought it was a very hard bone, but it's nothing special."

He is both cowardly and arrogant.

Shen Ruyi said to the last person who came in, "Close the door tightly!"

The young prince was surprised and asked in a low voice, "Little Black Charcoal, you are not planning to kill people to silence them, are you?"

After the young prince said this, the dog lying on the ground started shaking non-stop, purely out of fear.

"It's not necessary to kill people to silence them, but we still need to close the door and beat the dog."

Shen Ruyi looked around and saw that despite the commotion at the door, no one came.

interesting!

"Linglan, take people to find the account books. Sister Manju, you and Banxia and the others should start checking the accounts."

"Yes, master."

"Ok."

"Uncle Wang, take a few people with you and go find out the daily operations here first."

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

Yiren said, "I'll go with you, too. If anyone tries to stop us, I can clear the way."

"Okay!" Shen Ruyi nodded.

Then he said, "Little Prince, ask the others on your side to follow, and send someone to lock the back door or the side door or something like that."

"Okay." The young prince looked at his followers and waved his hand.

Everyone dispersed like the tide, leaving only Xiao Ningzi standing beside the young prince in a protective posture.

Shen Ruyi then approached the man pretending to be dead and said, "Come, let me introduce the situation of Meiyuan.

If you introduce yourself well, you can live. If you tell lies, you will die! "

Hearing this unhurried voice, the people on the ground started shaking completely.

Like an ostrich, he hugged his forehead with his arms, making it impossible to see his expression.

"If you're not dead, get up now. Otherwise, if you keep pretending to be dead, I will make your dream come true and you will die for real."

This bastard suddenly sat up.

With a round face and a pair of squinting mouse eyes, he doesn't look like a good person at all.

That's right, Shen Ruyi said in a clear and low voice, "Speak!"

Now he was smart and replied carefully,

"My dear, there are more than 180 people registered in Plum Garden, but many of them are not here on a daily basis.

Because usually no one comes here and they don’t need to report for duty. So they will go out to take some private jobs and earn some money.”

"Who is the person in charge here? What's his name?"

“The apparent general manager is surnamed Wu, Wu Hui, and is in charge of the entire Meiyuan.

However, the real owner of Meiyuan is Eunuch Mou, but we don’t know his specific name.

It is said that he has some connections with the nobles in the palace, and Wu Hui listens to him. "

"Who are the people who actually take care of these flowers, plants and trees? And who takes care of the birds and animals?"

"The people who really take care of these are the hired old farmers and mountain people."

"Hire?"

"Yes, sir."

"Where did these people registered in the book go?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it."

"How did you get in? How many years have you been here?"

"I have been here for almost 10 years. I got in through the relationship with Deputy Manager Cheng."

"Tell me the details, and tell me about the deputy chief steward by the way."

“My uncle accidentally met Deputy Manager Cheng, and after giving him some gifts, he was introduced to the office.

The deputy steward is called Cheng Dahu. He said that he was assigned to the position by the late emperor.

Later, Wu Hui followed the path of Princess Mougong's daughter and was parachuted down to become a manager.

Manager Wu and Manager Cheng don't get along, but Manager Cheng has been in the job for long enough and has his own network of contacts.

So neither of them can get rid of the other, so they just get along like this."

"How often do these hired people come here?"

“Those who take care of the flowers, plants and trees come here once every two weeks, but those who raise birds and animals rarely stay for long periods of time.

For the rest, you just need to come once a month and help with the cleaning. "

"What about house maintenance?"

"It's only a quarterly inspection, but it can't be repaired once a year."

"Whose accountant is this?"

"Both accountants are Wu's men."

"How many people on the list have you seen?"

"I met more than 40 people in total. It was a while ago that the manager suddenly notified me that he heard that Meiyuan had a new owner.

Let the servants clean up and welcome the arrival of the new master.

As a result, the servants waited for three days in a row, but didn’t see even an ant, so they all dispersed again.”

“How many people do you see on a daily basis?”

“There are more than 20 in total.”

"Do you know what they do for a living outside?"

"What I know is that some flowers and saplings from the Plum Garden were sold in the past.

They also bring some people in regularly to see the animals. If they see one they like, they will be taken away directly after the price is negotiated.

All the deaths reported were natural causes. Of course, they were all relatively small animals.”

"You know a lot. How do you know that?"

"That's what Manager Cheng said when he got drunk. He cursed Wu Hui and Eunuch Mou, saying they were good-for-nothings and always took Meiyuan's things to sell."

"What about Manager Cheng? Didn't he sell it himself?"

"I haven't heard of it. I don't know."

"Manager Cheng just watched others sell it? Aren't you afraid of being implicated in the future and charged with joint liability?"

"I think that Manager Cheng must have something on Manager Wu, so even though he doesn't like them, he still tolerates them."

"How did you know?"

"I once asked this question, but Manager Cheng was very vague about it. I felt something was not right, so I guessed."

"what's your name?"

"My lord, my last name is Ma Defu."

"Who is Eunuch Mou's master? Do you know?"

"This slave... doesn't know."

He stuttered when he spoke, and Shen Ruyi took a look and saw that the dog's eyes began to flicker and he was not behaving himself again.

"Are there any secret rooms or secret passages in Plum Garden? Remember to tell the truth, otherwise... hehe, I will make you die in an ugly way."

Looking around, he said, "No...I don't think so. I don't know."
