The janitor's face became very ugly, and he said, "I dare not call him the name of the Duke of the State, but this little official is right, but the little official should respect the Duke of the State if you... that's better!"

Fu Guibao snorted, looked at Helanmin's back, and said, "Compared with me, it's only half a pound!" After that, he shook his sleeves and was about to walk into the mansion.

The janitor thought to himself: "Has he been a lord? Is there a little Duke in Beijing? I haven't heard of him before!"

Li Rizhi also entered the mansion and said to the janitor: "I am the person assigned by Xu Xiang to solve your case. Go and call the person in charge of the mansion to come and talk. I want to check the population in the mansion."

The janitor was stunned. Obviously, he had never thought that the government would send people to the mansion to check the population. The officials in the past gave Helan family a lot of face, so they never sent anyone. However, he thought that as soon as Helanmin left, officials came to check the situation.

Li Rizhi walked through the yard and went straight into the main hall and sat down in the middle. This behavior was very rude, but there was no need to be polite. Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai sat on both sides of him.

Cheng Zizai said, "Xiaojie, you just said that he is a magnificent person. He is just a lord. You are just a foreigner. How can you compare this?"

Fu Guibao said: "I'm talking about appearance!"

A man walked quickly outside the main hall. He looked like he was about forty years old, wearing a dark blue satin robe and a kind face. He seemed to be a housekeeper or something.

The man stood outside the threshold of the main hall, bowed and said, "I have seen three officials. The villain is the housekeeper of the mansion. It would be fine if the official is called the villain Helanfu. I don't know what the official is coming, and how the villain needs to cooperate."

This person is not very decent in speaking, but he is not short of etiquette. He probably feels unhappy. After all, if a few people come to someone's family and say they want to check the population, they will not feel happy.

Li Rizhi had Xu Jingzong's handwriting, so he didn't need to care about the mood of a housekeeper. He took out the handwriting and said to Helanfu: "Go and summon all the people in your family here, including the female family. I have something to ask them one by one, so go!"

After pausing, he said again: "Or you can delay the time and then send someone to come back to Helan Minzhi and ask Helan Minzhi to ask Xu Xiang for an explanation. Of course, he will ask for an explanation, but I still have to check the population in your mansion."

Helanfu's face turned red, as if he was drunk. He was thinking that way in his heart just now, and he wanted to move Helan Minzhi as a reinforcement, but he was told by Li Rizhi, which also shows that Li Rizhi is not afraid of Helan Minzhi.

Helanfu couldn't figure out what Li Rizhi came from, so he didn't dare to resist, so he had to agree and go back and call someone.

Three people sat in the hall, and Fu Guibao said dissatisfiedly: "I don't even bring the tea pot, this family doesn't understand the way of treating guests!"

Cheng Zizai said, "They are not in the mood to pour you tea now. Even if they pour it for you, do you dare to drink it? Are you not afraid of them spitting into the tea!"

Fu Guibao nodded and said, "It makes sense, you actually made me not thirsty at all!"

Li Rizhi smiled and said, "If you think about the other person's saliva, you can quench your thirst. It's similar to quenching thirst with Plum. Then what do you think of not being hungry?"

"I can't tell you this anymore. I'm afraid you won't be hungry..."

While we were talking, there were a lot of people coming from the backyard, including forty or fifty people, both men, women, and young and old. The leader was a young woman of twenty-one or two years old. She looked very beautiful, but she had a bit of dust. Behind this beautiful woman, there were six or seven women of about seventeen or eighteen to twenty years old, all of whom were very beautiful, and there was even a blond haired and blue-eyed bearded woman inside.

Behind these young and beautiful women were the servants of the Helan family. These servants had a look of fear on their faces. Of course, the young and beautiful women in front also had the same expression on their faces.

Li Rizhi could understand their feelings. The male owner was poisoned to death and the female owner was taken to prison as a murderer. Then the fate of these people in the future must be uneasy.

Fu Guibao whispered softly and said in a low voice: "Look, there is actually a Hu woman who looks good, and she looks like a good person at first glance."

Li Rizhi also looked at the Hu woman. She was indeed very beautiful, with golden hair, two big blue eyes, white skin, and tall body. There are many Hu women like Chang'an, which is not uncommon, but most of them are female slaves. Although this Hu woman is dressed beautifully, she looks like she hides behind others, probably she is also a female slave. She is just regarded as a concubine by Helan Anwen, so she has a higher status.

Such a large group of people were waiting outside the main hall, and only the leading woman crossed the threshold, walked in, and saluted to the three people in the hall with graceful postures, as if she had practiced such a gesture of salutation for thousands of times, perfect.

After the leading woman saluted, she said, "Miangmao Juxiang has seen three officials. I wonder what it takes to do when the officials come to the humble house?"

The woman named Juxiang's voice is very charming, coquettish and glutinous. She speaks slowly and has a pronounced ending sound, which sounds quite tempting, as if the sound of her speaking has been practiced thousands of times. She claims that she has no imperial decree, but she is not a female slave, so she acts smart and calls herself a civilian woman.

Li Rizhi frowned. This chrysanthemum is so cute. Helan Anwen is old again. Can her body support her? Even if she is not poisoned to death, she will be exhausted in less than two years!

But Fu Guibao, who was beside him, became excited and said, "Your name is Juxiang, it's really fragrant. You look like a good person and a good woman!" This is not solemn.

Following this praise, Juxiang bowed again and said, "Thank you for the praise of the officials!" While saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Fu Guibao.

Fu Guibao was overjoyed and was about to make a few more jokes, but he saw Li Rizhi glaring at him, so he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.

Li Rizhi glared at him, then turned his head and said to Kusuka: "Who are you in charge of Helan?"

Juxiang said: "The civilian woman is the first concubine taken by the master. The wife is not in the mansion, so the civilian woman will be temporarily in charge of the mansion!"

"Who are there people with the same identity as you?"

Juxiang pointed to the seven or eight women behind her and signaled that they were all.

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "Helan Anwen is too ignorant of maintenance. He has taken so many concubines and is older. Maybe it is not because he was poisoned to death, but because of some hidden disease attacks, and some external factors, he died!"

He asked, "Then you are the second wife. I asked you, "Did you escape from the mansion during the period when your master was killed and your wife was taken away?"

Juxiang shook her head and said, "No one escaped, they are all here. Everyone in this mansion, including the civilian women, has a contract. Where can I escape?"

The Tang Dynasty punished the fugitive slaves extremely severely. If Helan Anwen's death really had nothing to do with the people in the mansion, then there was no need for them to escape.

Li Rizhi pointed to the women behind Ju and said, "Come up one by one, I have something to ask."
