Chapter 66

Shen Kong came forward and knocked on the door. Soon, the door was opened.

A young man poked his head out from the inside and saw that it was Shen Kong. When he turned his eyes, he saw that the eagle in his cage was alive.

After he said "wait", he retracted his head and closed the door. He went to report to Zhao Li.

After a small amount of incense, the back door opens again, and Zhao Li takes the lead to step out, followed by dozens of Yipin servants who are not weak in martial arts.

"I've seen housekeeper Zhao."

Xia Jin two people endure the disgust of the bottom of their hearts, salute and say hello to him.

Zhao Li's right hand kept turning two spherical jades. With a proud look, he stepped forward, looked across the cage for a while, and nodded with satisfaction

"Yes, from my housekeeper's point of view, this is a good eagle..."

At this point, Zhao Li glanced at Zhao Li, his eyes fell back on the eagle, and asked casually:

"Shen Kong, how much are you going to charge for this eagle?"

"Ha ha... Housekeeper Zhao is very serious. This is my niece Liu Xinlan from Anxian county. If housekeeper Zhao can find a job for her in the house, I will be very grateful if I can show my face in the future."

Shen Kong's clasping fists, from words to looks, are all flattering.

Zhao Li didn't see the problem, and Shen Kong had no problem with his past performance, so he dispelled his doubts.

He turned his eyes to Xia Jin, who was a little black but had delicate features. After looking up and down several times, he nodded

"I'm barely qualified to enter the mansion... I'll give you this honor!"

Zhao Li has a look of charity.

Shen Kong and Xia Jin are "flattered" and "thank you" repeatedly, which makes him happy.

He directly ordered a family behind him to take Xia Jin in.

……

In this way, at the cost of an eagle, Xia Jin successfully borrowed the name of Liu Xinlan to enter the Yongzhou Marquis's residence.

After entering the mansion, Zhao Li tries to find out whether she can read, but Xia Jin conceals her.

After that, she was arranged to be a maid who served tea and poured water in the accounting room.

There are three gentlemen in the accounting room of Yongzhou Houfu. One manages the daily expenses of Houfu, and the other two are responsible for receiving and giving gifts respectively.

Zhao Li is also a person who knows the accounts. At the beginning of each month, the three accountants summarize the accounts of the previous month, and then give them to him to check and report to Zhou Boyi.

After the account book came to Zhao Li's hands, he would make some small moves every time.

For example, the accounts of those who had improper dealings with Zhou Boyi should be excerpted in case there was any accident in the future, so as to protect his life.

Xia Jin is favored by the God of luck. Xia Jin, who sneaks into the Houfu, holds a stack of daily expenses account books and follows the three accounting rooms. She goes through the hall and corridor in the Houfu backyard and arrives outside Zhao Li's room after half burning incense.

When the account book arrives, Xia Jin has no chance to stay. It happens that there is no water in Zhao Li's teapot, and her maid is sent to work. He orders Xia Jin to make tea for him.

When Xia Jin came back with a pot of tea, she deliberately pushed the door in without knocking. Zhao Li didn't notice until she went around the screen.

"Presumptuous, you little maid, who let you in?"

Zhao Lizheng extracts some of the problem accounts to his private account book.

See Xia Jin come in the door, the beginning of the guilty, he was angry, stare round eyes.

"Zhao... Housekeeper, calm down. I'm the maid who delivers tea to you."

Xia Jin "scared" to kneel down, dropped the tray in her hand, the teapot on it was broken instantly, boiling hot water splashed a little on her body.

See Xia Jin look panic, the wording is not quite in line with the maid's words, Zhao Li think of this woman just yesterday into the house, inevitably do not know the rules.

"Hum... Get out of here if you don't clean up?"

If normal, he will not consider these, will directly to the life of Xia Jin.

However, at this time, what he did was guilty, and he had no courage to take risks.

"Yes, yes..."

Xia Jin "flustered" will pick up the broken porcelain, hand cut many holes, very painful, but she can only endure.

……

Before leaving Zhao Li's room, she finally looked at the objects in the room and found a picture hanging on the wall at the end of the bed. It seemed that there was something wrong with the position.

She wrote it down silently and planned to explore it later.

After Zhao Li came out of the room, Xia Jin followed the memory of her arrival and came back. When she passed a garden arch, she accidentally met Lu Qing, who led the inspection team.

Four eyes relative moment, Xia Jin think this is an opportunity, heart a horizontal, foot a twist then toward the ground.

"Ouch..."

At the moment when the voice of surprise fell, she also fell heavily on the ground.

"Girl, are you all right?"

Lu Qing recognized Xia Jin. Although she was surprised, she quickly responded and helped her.

"Lost fragrance?"

Knowing that there are many masters in Hou's mansion, Xia Jin dare not speak out loud, and her words are extremely simple.

After saying these two words, he increased the volume to thank Lu Qing.

When Lu Qing replies, she hands her a piece of fragrance as long as an adult's index finger without any trace.

Xia Jin took it and hid it in her sleeve. She lowered her voice again

"There is something wrong with the portrait at the end of the bed in Zhao Li's room."

If she fails, it's up to them.

……

The day goes by, the night comes and grows deeper

Four minutes in a day is the most exhausting time for the human body.

Yongzhou Marquis's house is heavily guarded and full of secret guards. Xia Jin can only take action at this moment.

Sleeping in the room of six maidservants, Xia Jin quietly gets up, puts on her clothes and goes out carefully.

Because she had figured out the route of action in the daytime, she avoided all the bodyguards on patrol. Combined with her experience in handling cases for many years, she avoided the secret guards hiding in the dark and successfully sneaked outside Zhao Li's room.

After blowing the fragrance into the room through the window, she covered her mouth and nose with a wet cloth prepared in advance, then opened the latch with a dagger and quietly pushed the door in.

Zhao Li, who has been enchanted by fragrance, sleeps like a dead pig at the moment. He has no idea what happened.

Xia Jin goes to the end of the bed, blows the fire fold, and observes the picture hanging on the wall by the light of the fire.

However, she looked for a long time and still got nothing.

Xia Jin's eyebrows are tightly wrinkled. Such an interesting landscape painting, hanging at the end of the bed, is not only eccentric in position, but also does not match the brilliant and luxurious style of the whole house

She reached out to take the picture off and knocked on the wall behind it, but she still didn't find the problem.

"Leave it to me."

Is about to give up, behind suddenly came a dumb male voice.

Although familiar, but also surprised Xia Jin a jump.

If it had not been for Xiao Yiyuan's foresight to cover her mouth, she would have cried out.

With his action, familiar breath lingers in the nose, Xia Jin's chest thumping frequency, slowly calm down.

The tension of one person's action before also slowly dissipated.

Seeing that she calmed down, Xiao Yiyuan released his hand that covered her little mouth, took a fire fold from her hand, and went forward to check whether there was anything strange on the wall.
