Chapter 27 Happy Buddha (5)
Master Liu looked at the girls in the hall and asked, "Can the girl who served Mr. Li last night be among them?"
"Yes, that's it, isn't it?" The madam pointed at Su Qingmo with a smile. Su Qingmo's face turned pale, but the other girls were just like her, so there was nothing to arouse suspicion.
On the contrary, Master Liu's face turned green when he saw Su Qingmo. He was a frequent visitor to her place. He really didn't know how to cross-examine her for a moment, so he quickly changed the subject: "Why is it that the oiran is not the only one among these girls?"
"Hey, Master, if you want to see the oiran girl, you can't do it now." The Madam smiled meaningfully and whispered, "Miss and Master are still resting."
"Knock on the door and tell me that I am investigating the case." Master Liu said this without even thinking.
When the Madam heard this, she hesitated: "This..." She knew that Mr. Liu was serious. Although he had a backing, distant water could not save the immediate fire. It was not a wise move to offend some people rashly.
When Master Liu saw that the madam was not moving, he shouted angrily: "Hurry up and go!"
"Hey." The madam sighed, holding up the hem of her skirt, and was about to walk upstairs. At this time, a handsome young man in rich clothes stood at the top of the stairs, holding a paper fan in his hand and asked with a smile: "Master, what are you going to do?" Find me?"
"King..." Mr. Liu's face turned pale now. The person in front of him was a noble man who was rare to meet in ten years. He really wanted to chop off his subordinate's head. No one informed him that such an important person came to his jurisdiction. So he fell to his knees with a plop. "My lord, forgive me."
"Get up, you don't have to be so polite. My visit this time is also a private matter. Since you are investigating the case, you don't need to pay me such a big courtesy." The young master smiled and climbed down the stairs and walked in front of Master Liu.
When the master saw the prince, not only was he three inches shorter, but Master Liu's legs were weak and he could not stand up. When he thought about whether his words had been heard by the prince, Master Liu began to feel uneasy in his heart: "Damn it, I don't know the prince." If I have offended you in person, I hope you will forgive me."
"Get up, I'm interested in hearing what case you made that caused so much trouble in the Red Mansion?" The prince sat down on the chair with a cheerful expression on his face.
After the old bustard found out that the young master was the prince, he was overjoyed to have the prince's support, but he was afraid that there would be trouble, so he hurriedly poured tea for the prince himself: "Your Majesty, please have tea."
"Yes." The prince nodded, feeling a little thirsty.
When Mr. Liu heard the prince's question, he had to answer directly: "To answer the prince's question, Mr. Li came to Manhong Mansion yesterday and his descendants disappeared. He is nowhere to be found. There is no one to take care of things in the mansion, so I brought people to Manhonglou." Red Mansion Inquiry.”
"Is there such a thing?" The prince was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Have you found anything now?"
"My lord, I have no clue." Master Liu lowered his head and knelt on the ground, still refusing to get up.
The prince shook his head and made a move: "If a person is missing, of course the person you want to find is the last person who saw him."
"Thank you for the advice, Your Majesty. I'm stupid, so I'll do it right away."
"Then tell me who was the last person to see Mr. Li?"
"Yes..." Master Liu was sweating profusely. Su Qingmo was the last person to see Master Li. If this case was related to Su Qingmo, would the prince then suspect that he wanted to be the master and murdered Li? Sir, he really didn't want to say it was Su Qingmo, but too many people knew about it and couldn't hide it, so he had to answer truthfully: "It's Su Qingmo from Manhonglou."
