Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 179 Dead (seeking tickets)

Speaking of the other side.

After Gu Qingjue and the others came out of Gu's house, they first asked Sanqi to go to the town to buy horses. After buying the horses, they met Gu Qingjue and Zeng Shengji in the suburbs.

The three hurried all the way to the northwest, and arrived at the boundary of Mingguang County three days later.

The further north we went, the weather gradually became colder. Originally, we had to rely on the dry food prepared by Su Yixin to satisfy our hunger.

But because Zeng Shengji had a huge appetite, and they didn't have a storage bag, the dry food they brought was limited. The main reason was that Su Yixin didn't know that Zeng Shengji would go to the academy with him. I have almost eaten, and I must go to the city to replenish dry food today.

The three of them entered Mingguang County when it was getting dark, and found an inn called Fulai to settle down.

"Xiao Er, I want three guest rooms."

"Okay, sir please!"

Most of the inns in the Song Dynasty only provided accommodation, while the Fulai Inn provided both accommodation and food. With such a large scale, it may be located in a traffic fortress with Mingguang County, with a large number of people coming and going. The first floor is a place for eating. The floor is where you stay.

Xiaoer led the three of them up to the second floor, and pointed to the three rooms on the far left: "The three guest officers, these are the three rooms."

I slept in the open air for several days, although it was cold and there was no bad smell on my body, but the smell was not much better. I asked for hot water, freshened up, and then went downstairs to eat.

While eating, many people ran past the door, followed by the people in the inn.

They were passing by, not interested in what happened outside, and concentrated on eating.

About a quarter of an hour later, people who ran out from the inn to watch the excitement came back one after another.
Sanqi got up with good eyesight, and asked a 21-year-old man who was sitting at the window eating, dressed in a yellow dan-colored round-neck brocade robe: "Brother, what happened in front of you just now? "

"Little brother, your accent sounds like a foreigner, right?"

Sanqi nodded: "Well, follow my son out to see the world, just now I heard someone said that someone drowned?"

The man's name was Tan Tingbao, and he was sitting at a window of the inn.A native of Mingguang County, Lai Fu Lai Inn was originally just for eating. While waiting for the food, he happened to be able to see the movement on the wooden bridge not far away. When he saw people running over, he also went to join in the fun. You want to share what you know with someone.

Seeing that Sanqi was still young, he reckoned that he was just curious and asked casually, so he told what he knew.

"No, it was not someone else who died, but the little girl of the county magistrate's family. This county magistrate came to Mingguang County a year ago to take up his post. He is a very good official. God, why didn't he open his eyes and let his little girl give it to him?" drowned in the river."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a man of the same age at the other table, wearing a wolf smoke-colored round neck intertwined and embroidered with flying bird patterns, came over and said in a low voice: "I think the matter is not simple. I was very close just now. The woman's hand There are still traces of being tied up with ropes. Although it is very shallow, I have good eyesight since I was a child, so I can still see it very clearly."

"Didn't they all say drowned?"

The man in the wolf smoke-colored brocade robe with a round collar looked like you didn't understand, looked at the man in the yellow monochromatic brocade robe and Sanqi, lowered his head slightly, and said, "How can it be possible that the drowned hand There are traces of being tied up, obviously killed and thrown into the river."

This table is adjacent to the table of Gu Qingjue and Zeng Shengji. With their skills, even though their voices are low, they can still hear their conversation clearly.

As the man in the wolf-colored brocade robe said, the woman who fell into the water and died had traces of rope binding on her hands, so the possibility of homicide was extremely high.

However, the one who died was the daughter of the county magistrate, if there is something real, as long as he is not blind, his work can definitely detect it.

I thought this news was explosive, but I didn't expect the man in wolf smoke to say even more explosive news: "I heard that the little girl from the county magistrate's family fell in love with a scholar who passed by here two months ago for the exam. , I wanted to follow the scholar to my death, and I really eloped with the scholar later."

The man in the yellow brocade robe said in surprise, "You know about such a private matter?"

"That is!"

Gu Qingjue held the chopsticks in his right hand, and rubbed the index finger and thumb of his left hand slowly.

The man in the wolf smoke-colored brocade robe has average appearance and average height, but the material of his clothes is very good, and the jade pendant he wears on his waist is of good quality. Besides, this Fulai Inn, I just heard it from the side. Although the food is more expensive, the taste is better than that of a serious restaurant.

Therefore, some of the family members with good status are willing to come to the Fulai Inn for dinner. Their status naturally has a channel to know the news.

What the man in the wolf-colored brocade robe said was probably true.

At least that scholar did exist.

However, these are just the analysis in Gu Qingjue's mind. His current identity is a student studying in Chongyang Academy, and he is not yet qualified to intervene in this matter.

"According to your theory, the one who killed Miss Qiu must be that scholar!"

"pretty close."

Having said that, the voice gradually weakened. When the food was served, everyone went to cook.

Sanqi also returned to his seat and had a good meal. The three of them were about to go upstairs to rest. When they were going up the stairs, the table sitting at the top of the stairs was also discussing this matter, and mentioned the magistrate of Mingguang County Qiu Hong.

Zeng Shengji paused, looked back at the man who was talking, and walked over in a few steps.

The big tall man stood there, and the people who were talking couldn't help but stop talking. Zeng Shengji asked blankly, "What did you say the name of the magistrate?"

"what?"

One of them let out a bewildered "ah".

Zeng Shengji stared at him: "What's the name of the county magistrate who was demoted here from Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Qiu...Qiu Hong!"

Hearing this, Zeng Shengji clenched his fingers tightly and creaked.

The few people who were scared to eat hurriedly took out some broken silver from their purses, and ran out of the inn in a panic.

When I walked to the door, I didn't forget to complain: This person is sick.

Gu Qingjue walked to Zeng Shengji's side, and said softly, "Master, what's the matter, let's go back to the room first."

"Ah."

Zeng Shengji also knew that he had lost his composure, so he turned around and went upstairs, followed by Gu Qingjue, and entered Zeng Shengji's room.

After sitting for a while, Zeng Shengji said: "I don't remember many things about the capital, but I can remember the name Qiu Hong. He used to be my best friend, but for some reason, he was relegated to this place." Little Mingguang County."

"Master, do you want to meet this Qiu Hong?"

"Ah."

Zeng Shengji took a deep breath: "If it's really him, maybe he will know what happened in Zeng's residence."

He didn't bother to investigate what happened in Kyoto.

But since it happened by chance, I always have to check it out.
