Brocade clothing

Chapter 1 Rainy Night Autopsy
The sky was as dark as ink, the rain was torrential, and the dark clouds like thick ink covered the night sky tightly, without a single ray of light.

"This ghost weather!"

Hearing the wind blowing the doors and windows, Chu Qing, who had always been accustomed to disguise herself as a man, came out of the room, but was shivered severely by the cold wind with rain, and couldn't help but curse. .

It's been seven years since she came to ancient times, and she hasn't fully gotten used to the way of life here. Every time it rains like this, she will be extremely bored!
Unfortunately, it's not what it used to be.

Before she could recover, there was a sudden and chaotic sound outside the courtyard.

Chu Qing pricked up her ears reflexively, and said to herself: "It's a rainy day, won't something happen again?"

"Chu Qing, Chu Qing! Are you at home?"

It's Xiaoman's voice!

Xiaoman is a boy of sixteen or seventeen who lives next door to her house. After crossing from Chuqing, besides the master, Xiaoman keeps nagging in her ear every day.

The knocking on the door was still going on, and there was a tendency to knock harder and harder. If the knocking continued like this, Chu Qing felt that the broken courtyard door that had been in disrepair for a long time would definitely die in the line of duty.

"Here we come!" She casually picked up the oil-paper umbrella under the window and opened it, and walked over quickly.

Outside the courtyard, Chu Qing's childhood sweetheart and neighbor Xiao Man were lying on the gap in the courtyard door and looking into the courtyard. When they saw Chu Qing coming out, they immediately raised their voices.

"Gentlemen, look, I said that there are people in the room." Xiaoman turned his head to look at the people beside him, and said with a bit of complacency on his fair face.

"What's the matter?" Chu Qing opened the door, checked the door panel by the way, and made sure it was not broken, so he was relieved.He raised his head to look at Xiaoman, only to realize that Xiaoman had brought many people with him.

"Good thing, great thing!" Xiao Man grabbed her wrist, dragged her aside involuntarily, and whispered in her ear, "Aunt Mei from the Zhao Mansion is dead!"

Seeing Xiaoman's beaming expression, Chu Qing couldn't help but have black lines all over her head.

"Aunt Mei?" She quickly ran through the name in her mind, making sure that this person had nothing to do with her and Xiao Mandu, and she was even more confused, "She died, why are you so happy? "

Could it be that Xiaoman has a grudge against that aunt?
"Are you stupid?" Xiao Man looked at her with resentment, then, "Now the steward of the Zhao Mansion has personally come to invite you to bury the corpse! Don't you still want to repair the house? The reward given by the Zhao Mansion There must be a lot."

"Ask me to... bury the corpse!?"

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at the people brought by Xiaoman.

Seeing Chu Qing's face, the few people outside couldn't help being stunned.

In the heavy rain, the little brother holding the umbrella has a slender figure, crow temples and snowy muscles. He is wearing the most ordinary green clothes, but he has an extraordinary and refined temperament, which makes people's eyes shine.

There are men in the world who are so handsome!

But this little brother's tone of voice is really incompatible with his handsome appearance.

"That..." The man in the lead came back to his senses first, and immediately said, "Something happened in our house, I would like to invite you to examine the corpse."

While speaking, Chu Qing had already seen their clothes clearly.

The fabric of their clothes is not bad, but it is the style of the servants of the rich family.

On this rainy day, Chu Qing didn't want to go out at first, and when she saw that she was not from the government, she became even more impatient.

"My master has been away for a few days, and the case of the county government has not been checked yet. I'm sorry to let you go for nothing." Chu Qing politely rejected them, saying that he was about to close the courtyard door .

The matter in the nobleman's backyard, and this kind of private work that bypasses the county government and comes directly to them, can't be accepted.

Unexpectedly, the leading housekeeper was very alert, seeing that she was about to close the door, he stretched out his arm quickly and pushed the door open a crack.

"Master Zhang is not here, please ask brother Chu to go!"

Chu Qing closed the door with great strength, the butler's arm was caught in the crack of the door, and his voice changed in tune due to the pain.

Looking at the twitching arm in the crack of the door, Chu Qing showed no mercy, instead, she increased her strength and pushed the door panel tighter again.

"The deceased is a woman?" Her voice did not have the slightest guilt of harming others, but a little calm.

"Yes... yes..." The butler almost burst out these words from between his teeth. He had no choice but to ask for help, not even daring to beg for mercy.

"Since you are a woman, you can check it out yourself. Why did you come to me?"

According to the normal process, if there is a woman's dead body that needs to be examined, the inconvenient thing is to find a stable woman to do it for her. How could she be found?
The butler's arm was clamped tighter and tighter. At this moment, the pain was terribly painful. A big man, his voice was crying: "This matter... because there is something hidden in it, our master sent a message, please go! "

Chu Qing sneered, what kind of hidden secrets can a rich family have, it is nothing more than dirty things, she doesn't want to get into this kind of muddy water, and she didn't come to ancient times to study and do good things.

Seeing her silently agreeing, the butler was very anxious, and said angrily to the servant behind him, "Are you guys dead? Why don't you hurry up and beg Brother Chu?"

Several young men looked at each other in blank dismay, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Brother Chu, you can do it!"

"We will never forget your great kindness!"

The voice of speaking is uneven, blunt and dry, and it sounds like it has not been rehearsed.

Thinking about it, they are servants of a rich family, and they have some face to follow the master's family. How have they ever asked someone from a lowly background?

The housekeeper who took the lead was able to bend and stretch, and he knelt down in the muddy water at the door, regardless of whether his arm was still caught in the door.

"It's about the lives of all the people in our house, so I ask Brother Chu to come anyway!"

The dilapidated door panel was loose, and the butler thought that Chu Qing had changed her mind, and was immediately overjoyed.

He stood up, took a few steps forward rubbing his liberated arms, and was about to say something nice when the door slammed shut again, almost hitting his smiling face.

"The autopsy requires a certificate issued by the county government, so come again when you get it!"

The butler stared blankly at the door panel that was almost attached to the tip of his nose, but he didn't recover for a moment.

Now that we've talked about this, is it possible that this girl is really hard-hearted?

People who have dealt with dead people all the year round are indeed not conjecturable by common sense.

Hearing the sound of Chu Qing's leaving footsteps, the housekeeper became anxious, not caring about being afraid of being heard, and hurriedly said loudly: "Our master Zhao and the county magistrate are close friends, and we will definitely not embarrass little brother Chu—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiaoman showing a happy smile, pulled Chu Qing away and walked out: "Don't be dazed, let's go! This is a fat job. If it is done well, rewards will definitely be indispensable. Yours is much better than your daily efforts to go up the mountain to collect herbs!"

Chu Qing was dragged away by Xiao Manban in a daze, while listening to Xiao Man's chatter.

Although she was a senior forensic expert in her previous life, she also followed her master to do some autopsy after she came here, and the matter of coming to the Zhao Mansion would not trouble her, but things in the backyard of such a noble family as the Zhao Manor, she The heart must not want to participate in it.

But under Xiaoman's half-dragging and half-pushing, soon, he arrived at the back door of Zhao's residence.

Apart from seeing it on TV, it was the first time for Chu Qing to walk into this kind of mansion in person.

Passing through the main gate is the second gate, and after passing through the second gate to enter the inner courtyard, Chu Qing walked away dizzy, deeply regretting that he did not take the course of ancient architectural structure back then.Just after passing the second gate, Xiao Man was stopped by servants in the compound.

After exchanging eyes with Xiaoman, Chu Qing was handed over to Mrs. Li in the backyard by the steward.

Zhao's mansion's house is one of the best big houses in Guqiao Village, even Chu Qing, who has inspected countless scenes, can't help being a little surprised.

Small bridges and flowing water, white stone railings, exquisite pavilions, and rugged rocks, if Chu Qing hadn't lived in Gushui Village for seven years, she would have thought she was living in a wealthy family in the capital.

Walking out of the back garden along the cobbled path, and bypassing several courtyards, Mrs. Li stopped in front of a small courtyard.

"... People are in the west wing, go in by yourself." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li walked away quickly as if she was avoiding something.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate, she was taken aback by the situation in front of her.

Dozens of people were kneeling in the courtyard under heavy rain. If Chu Qing hadn't gotten used to the fact that she traveled through, she would have accidentally entered the pit of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an.

Chu Qing glanced at the mother in charge, who frowned and shook her head slightly.

Chu Qing was a little puzzled as to what the dumb words meant.

Chu Qing frowned, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

The red-painted courtyard door was ajar, she tentatively pushed the door open, and before she could see the situation in the courtyard, she heard a roar like a thunderbolt.

Before she could open her mouth, she heard a crackling sound from the upper room, as if something had been smashed to pieces.

"Shut up for me!" A man's majestic roar came out, even through the sound of the torrential rain, the voice was still very ear-shattering, "I must find out the cause of Mei Niang's death, even if the body is destroyed. No hesitation! Whoever dares to persuade her, I will regard her as a murderer, drag her out and beat her to death!"

What responded to him was a sobbing woman crying.

The mother in charge brought Chu Qing to the door, and said softly, "Sir, I've done it."

"Come in for me!" The man's thick voice sounded, with obvious lingering anger.

Chu lightly patted the raindrops on the corner of his clothes, puffed out his innocent chest, and stepped over the threshold.

The situation in the main room is different from the outside, and there are also people kneeling on the floor, but the women kneeling here are obviously of a higher class than the outside, and there are all kinds of Yingying and Yanyan, all of whom are beautiful in red and willow green.

Chu Qing stepped on the silk and satin all the way, and walked to the only man in the room without looking sideways.

Perhaps because of his background as a military officer, Mr. Zhao has a very burly figure. If it weren't for the white hair on his temples and the weathered wrinkles on his face, he wouldn't be able to tell he was in his 50s.
