Chapter 116
Chu Qing followed Li Tianxiao back to the imperial study from the secret path.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, a personal guard came to report: "Your Majesty, Zhong Baihu has brought a letter, specifying that it should be handed over to Mr. Chu."

"Zhong Xuan?" Li Tianxiao took the letter and looked at Chu lightly.

With a wave of his hand, the guards stepped back.

Chu Qing stretched out her hand: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from your subordinates."

Li Tianxiao looked at the four words "Brother's Dear Brother" on the cover, and felt an inexplicable feeling of discomfort in his heart.

He forced it down, tilted his head, and handed the letter to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing stretched out her hand to take it, then opened it to read it, and when she finished reading it, her pupils brightened slightly.

Li Tianxiao was stabbed by the light in her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "What did he say?"

Chu Qing thought for a while, folded the letter and put it away again: "Mrs. Liu sent the housekeeper to Beizhen Fusi earlier, and indicated that she wanted to see me."

"Madam Liu?" Li Tianxiao frowned, "Are you going?"

"Why don't you go?" Zhong Xuan said in the letter that Mrs. Liu sent Butler Liu to say that she hadn't thanked her for the previous incident.

Especially when I heard that because of solving the case, General Chi's lieutenant was offended and almost lost his life, so he planned to invite her to Liu's mansion as a guest to calm her down.

Chu Qing knew that Mrs. Liu was trying to win her over. Since Master's case was related to Liu Guojiu, she must investigate clearly.

So what if Liu Guojiu's official position is high?

All beings are born equal, so why should Master's life be inferior to Uncle Liu Guo's?
Why did Uncle Liu Guo kill Master if he wanted to?
Li Tianxiao took a deep breath, knowing that she probably hadn't given up on revenge: "People from the Liu family, you can't afford to offend them, you will just lose your life for nothing."

"So what?" Chu Qing raised her eyes, her eyes were sharp and stubborn, "I still say the same thing, since the emperor refuses to help me, then don't stop him!"

Li Tianxiao: "..."

He wanted to say something else, but the other party's Chu Qing's eyes were stubborn.

Dejectedly, she sat back on the dragon chair: "You are so reckless, you will kill yourself sooner or later."

Chu Qing: "At least I have tried my best. If I don't try, I will never feel at ease in my life."

Li Tianxiao was silent for a long time before he said hoarsely, "When are you going?"

Chu Qingdao: "Brother Zhong pushed me to go to other places for business in the past two days, and at noon the next day, I will go to Liu's residence to pay a visit."

At that time, I don't know if I will meet Uncle Liu. If Mrs. Liu can introduce her to Uncle Liu by the way, then it will be easier for her to find out the truth about Master's death, and then she may be able to find evidence of Uncle Liu's crime. Thus bringing down Uncle Liu Guo.

Li Tianxiao was afraid that Chu Qing would suffer: "I'm afraid some hidden guards will follow you."

"No, it's easy to be exposed when there are too many people." She didn't want to reveal her hole cards before she got ready.

"You're taking a risk!" Li Tianxiao patted the case, his phoenix eyes darkened because of worry.

Chu Qing said nothing: "..."

Otherwise, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, Li Tianxiao would be so angry that she would pull her out and chop her up.

Probably because she lived and died with Li Tianxiao, and she has not changed her role to Li Tianxiao until now, so she is not afraid, so she is fearless.

Li Tianxiao finally compromised, and sent Chu Qing out of the palace through the secret path, but before leaving the palace, she had to go back to the palace before asking her to lock the gate of the palace.

Chu Qing thought that he was afraid that if she ran away, there would be problems with Yu Zhufeng's affairs, so she complied.

Early the next morning, Chu Qing went back to Beizhen Fusi first, and greeted the familiar Jin Yiwei who passed by.

"Brother Chu, have you been sent out to handle a special case again?"

"Yeah, so is Brother Zhong. I've already had a rest, and I ran out again, and I'm exhausted." Chu Qing explained in a few words, concealing where he was going, but no one would investigate.

There are so many special cases in Beizhen Fusi every year. Since they are special, they are naturally not humane.

Zhong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chu: "You're back, I've been worrying about me for the past few days, and I'm afraid that something will happen to you!"

The punchline was on the sidelines, and my eyes were red from crying.

Miao Yu comforted her carefully before she let Miao Yu go outside to guard.

"Brother Zhong, this time you have been implicated, and Brother Shi has also been implicated."

"What nonsense are you talking about? As long as you're fine, I'm alone, so... Bah! Look at my mouth!" Zhong Xuan got used to it, and slapped himself: "As for Shi Changfeng, he...is me I'm sorry for him, will he be okay with this matter?"

Chu lightly shook his head: "Brother Shi will be fine, but the Liu family may arrest his mother."

"What?" Zhong Xuan stood up violently.

Chu Qing comforted: "Brother Zhong doesn't have to worry, I have already reported this matter to the emperor, and he has already found someone to replace him, so Aunt Shi is fine. Adding an official." It can be regarded as Li Tianxiao's way of making up for it.

Zhong Xuan felt relieved and leaned over: "Brother Chu, how did you know the emperor?"

That night when he heard about the accident, he was terrified, and then the emperor's personal guards came, good guy, he almost thought it was a bluff.

Chu Qing lowered her eyes, covering the darkness in her eyes: "Brother Zhong, do you still remember the Brother Li you met by chance?"

Zhong Xuan thought for a while, and a tall man wearing a mask flashed in his mind: "What?"

Chu Qing: "He is the current emperor, Li Tianxiao."

Zhong Xuan was dumbfounded, and took a breath: "He, he, he is the emperor?!"

Zhong Xuan has never met the emperor. Although he is a member of Zhong Baihu, he has no place to enter the palace to have an audience with him.

He actually...

But how did Chu Qing know the emperor?
Chu Qing: "It's a long story, so I won't tell you. Madam Liu, do you have any doubts?"

Zhong Xuan shook his head: "No doubt, it's just...Xiao Chu, are you really going to Liu's house? That's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den."

Chu Qing's eyes were firm: "If you don't enter the tiger's den... how can you get a tiger cub?"

Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, she will go for it!
One hour before noon, Liu's carriage stopped outside Beizhen Fusi.

Butler Liu came to pick up Chu Qing in person.

Chu Qing wore a green robe, her brows and eyes were high-spirited, envious of many Jin Yiwei.

After Chu Qing said hello one by one, she deliberately showed her complacency, which was specially played for Butler Liu.

If she didn't like the Liu family, how could she be recruited by Mrs. Liu?

Chu Qing soon arrived at Liu's mansion, and was led towards the main hall by Butler Liu, but when she passed by a place, she heard crackling and cursing.

The main hall is next to the main courtyard, and that's where the sound came from.

The topographical map of Liu Mansion that Zhong Xuan found for her flashed through Chu Qing's mind, and she roughly identified the location.

It was confirmed that it was the house where Liu Deqian lived.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched mockingly. I'm afraid Liu Deqian's spirit, tortured by the rumors in the market these two days, is about to collapse?
What was supposed to be a sure thing, happened to be an accident.

Mrs. Yu defended her son, and it was rumored that someone Liu planned to frame him.

Who this Liu is is almost tacit.

Butler Liu also looked over and found that Chu Qing had seen it, but the other party just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Butler Liu was very satisfied, and felt that Madam had discernment and knew what to ask and what not to ask.

When Chu Qing arrived in the lobby, Mrs. Liu was already sitting at the main seat.

Seeing her, he stood up personally: "Young Master Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

Chu Qing bent down and saluted: "Tofu, it's not bad. Mrs. Lao Liu misses it."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, and Steward Liu retreated with a group of maidservants and servants, leaving only two confidantes by her side.

Mrs. Liu personally poured a cup of tea for Chu Qing: "I heard that Mr. Yu was almost assassinated earlier? After I heard that, I was really worried for a long time."

Chu Qing thanked: "It's just a reckless man, nothing to be afraid of."

Mrs. Liu chuckled: "I heard that he is General Chi's lieutenant general, Mr. Yu is not afraid?"

Chu Qing: "The man acts aboveboard, what are you afraid of him?" However, there was still a bit of dissatisfaction and resentment in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself, but Mrs. Liu still caught it.

Mrs. Liu had the bottom line in her heart. She thought that Yu Xiaoman was prudent and smart, so she was afraid that she would not be able to win over her.

But looking at it now, he is still young and impulsive.

"But I am extremely disturbed. Zeng Gousheng heard that he was born in a bad family and refused to accept discipline. If he really wanted to kill the young master, I would really have a bad conscience." Madam Liu frightened Chu Qing with a few words. Fan, expressed his concern again.

If Chu Qing really believed it, she would be very grateful to Mrs. Liu, but she had already grasped Mrs. Liu's thoughts out of ten: "This..."

Chu Qing's hands holding the cup trembled, she took a quick sip, and then put it down.

This scene caught Madam Liu's eyes: "Young master Yu doesn't know that there are many secrets in the court, if that Zeng dog left to speak ill of you in front of General Chi, I'm afraid Zhong Baihu... can't save you. .”

Chu Qing panicked: "It's not that serious, is it?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head slightly: "Yes."

Chu Qing stood up all of a sudden, "panic" said: "Then what should I do? He is a reckless man, and I can't beat him."

Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea: "Actually, this matter is not difficult."

Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "Madam's meaning..."

Mrs. Liu: "That Zeng Gousheng is General Chi, and General Chi still sells the master a little bit of face. If the son becomes the master's staff and often goes in and out of Liu's residence, then General Chi will naturally not embarrass the master."

Chu Qing became excited: "But...but my position is low, is it really okay? Will it cause trouble for the Duke?"

Mrs. Liu said: "My lord, you are being polite. You have helped my natal family a lot, and the master will give me this face."

Chu Qing immediately expressed his loyalty: "The Xiaosheng thanked Madam first, Madam is so kind and virtuous, Xiaosheng will never forget it!"

Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea in satisfaction: "I won't talk about these things today, I was just trying to scare you, and it's time for dinner, so you can stay in the mansion for dinner, just in time to introduce you to Master Yu."

Chu Qing couldn't get what he wanted, and made a big gift: "Madam, it's hard work."

Mrs. Liu is rarely happy, she has observed it, Yu Xiaoman is cautious and meticulous, it is a good knife, used well, it will be of great benefit to her.

As for Uncle Liu Guo, she didn't care at all.

Thinking of the trouble he made for her, and that child, Mrs. Liu narrowed her eyes, and a flash of resentment flashed in her eyes.

I thought I got rid of it, but I didn't expect that the little beast was still alive.
