Chapter 639 639. Dabai Goes Out (45)

Lu Lizhang didn't know what he thought of, he took a step back guiltily, looked at the beautiful and calm face of the princess, and fled out of the attic a little bit.

The princess sighed and walked into the attic.

Back then, the princess, Lu Lizhang, and Fan Changtu, the younger brother of General Fan, were very good friends, and the three grew up together.

The concubine and Fan Changtu secretly fell in love and liked each other. When they were discussing marriage, a war broke out and Fan Changtu was forced to embark on a journey. The war was fierce. Fan Changtu was seriously injured and was unconscious. It took half a year to recover.

General Fan knew about Fan Changtu's relationship with the princess, so he immediately wrote a letter to the princess to inform Fan Changtu of his condition.

But this letter was accidentally seen by Lu Lizhang. After reading it, he burned the letter and lied that Fan Changtu had died in battle.

The concubine's heart was ashamed, and she later married Lu Lizhang. After Fan Changtu learned of this, he married a woman at the border in grief, and settled his family at the border. Over the years, he only returned to Beijing a few times.

The princess didn't know about this until now.

……

Above the night, the sky is full of stars.

General's House.

In the kitchen, Tang Jinghong scooped up the dumplings in the pot and put them on a plate, and brought them to Chu Qingzhi, "I made them specially for you, try them."

Chu Qingzhi smelled it, and it smelled so good, "Aren't you good at making dumplings?"

"I just learned it." Tang Jinghong grabbed a plate for himself, but was snatched away by Lu Yichen who suddenly appeared, "Since you met Qing Zhi, you will become a chef."

Tang Jinghong had no choice but to fetch dumplings from another plate, "Can't you do it yourself?"

Lu Yichen sat down at the table, "As the feared Third Master Lu, when did you see me take food by myself?"

"Do I need to feed you then?"

Lu Yichen offered Tang Jinghong the chopsticks he just got with both hands, "If you don't find it troublesome, I don't mind."

Tang Jinghong took the chopsticks and handed them to Chu Qingzhi, "Keep an inch."

Lu Yichen went to get two pairs of chopsticks again, and handed Tang Jinghong a pair, "Brother's advantage is not to be taken for nothing!"

Tang Jinghong said, "Do you want to be stabbed?"

Lu Yichen said, "If you eat a plate of dumplings, you won't have to block the knife, right?"

Tang Jinghong said, "I got news that Lu Lizhang has a batch of sulfur that will be handed over at Xishan tomorrow. I want to know who will be next."

It turned out to be waiting for him here, "Leave this matter to me."

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi, and asked with concern, "How is the investigation of the Ning Mansion going?"

"The matter of cotton seeds and sachets has been investigated." Chu Qingzhi said, "By the way, there is one more thing I didn't tell you, Yu Ting's father and mother were probably killed by someone."

Tang Jinghong frowned, "Killed to death?"

"Hmm..." Chu Qingzhi told Tang Jinghong what Xu Hehua told her, and then said, "Tomorrow, I plan to visit the place where Yu Ting's parents had an accident, to determine whether it was an accident or man-made."

Tang Jinghong said, "I'll go with you."

Chu Qingzhi said, "No, I'm going to let Third Brother and Li Hua go with me, you are busy with your business."

"Then be careful."

"Ah."

……

Chu Mansion.

After breakfast, Li Qingyu called Chu Qingzhi to stop, "Qingzhi, parents have decided to go home."

"When will mother leave?"

Li Qingyu was worried about her family and wanted to go back a long time ago, "I'll be leaving in a while, I've packed everything."

Chu Qingzhi didn't stop her. After half a month of coming out, it was already their limit, "Then I'll send you out of the city, and I happen to be leaving the city too."

"Okay, I'll go get something right away."

As soon as the things were loaded into the carriage, they set off. Before leaving the city, everyone went to say goodbye to Chu Qingyue.

Chu Qingyue was reluctant to part with her family, so she followed her off and returned after a long journey.

Only Chu Qingzhi, Chu Xujin, Ge Lihua, Chu Qingning, and Wu Yaqing remained in the capital.

……

Chu Qingzhi brought Chu Xujin, Ge Lihua, and Xu Hehua to the mountain road where Ning Yuting's parents had an accident.

Chu Qingzhi said to Xu Hehua, "Please describe the scene at that time."

Even if Xu Hehua lost her mind, she would never forget that dangerous scene.

She looked up at the hillside, moved her body, walked to the position where she jumped, and said, "The carriage was driving at this position, and I saw a boulder rolling down, and I jumped to the side, and the carriage continued to drive forward. ..."

After she told her story, she walked towards a boulder, "It's the carriage that this stone hit."

Then he pointed to a wounded tree next to him, "This is the scar from the carriage."

Finally, she pointed to the front right direction on the hillside, "The man ran down from the clump of wild mountain chrysanthemums."

"Let's go up and have a look." Chu Qingzhi flew up the hillside.

Chu Xujin looked at Ge Lihua as if begging for help, and Ge Lihua took Chu Xujin's hand and flew him up the hillside.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the handshake of the two, and smiled. Is this the result of cultivation?

"It's unlikely that such a large stone was transported from other places. It should have been on this hillside..." Before she finished speaking, she saw a big pit. She looked at the boulder, the size of the pit and the size of the boulder. The size of the pit is very consistent, and this pit should be where the boulder was originally located.

Chu Xujin jumped into the pit, the edge was already as high as his waist, "Assuming the boulder rolled down by itself, the pit is so big, how much rain would it take to loosen the soil?"

Ge Lihua said, "At least there must be conditions for a mudslide to occur, but at that time it only rained heavily for a few hours..."

Chu Xujin looked around and said, "So if the assumption is not true, it must be man-made."

Chu Qingzhi said, "Yes."

Chu Xujin worried, "Fifth Sister, it has been more than a year, and there are not many clues left at the scene. It is too difficult to investigate this matter."

Chu Qingzhi didn't speak, it was definitely impossible to go through normal channels, so...he had to take an unconventional route.

Several soldiers came over on fast horses. The leading soldier dismounted and clasped his fists and said, "Miss Qingzhi, a headless body was found in the Ruanjiang River. My lord would like to ask the girl to assist in the investigation."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Let's go and have a look."

……

Ruan Jianghe.

Many spectators gathered by the river, and among the crowd, a headless corpse lay flat on the river bank.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." Si Bing opened the way, and Chu Qingzhi came to the corpse.

Ren Buqing saluted, "Miss Qing Zhi, please."

Chu Qingzhi said, "You're welcome." Then came the main topic, "Have you confirmed the identity of the deceased?"

"Without a head, there is no way to be sure." Ren Buqing was a little helpless, "I haven't received any reports of missing persons recently, so it's really hard to confirm."

Chu Qingzhi said to Chu Xujin, "Third brother, go and bring Dabai here."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chu Xujin trotted away.
