Brocade clothing

Chapter 177
Chu Qing waited until the ninth day.

Tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon is the day of execution, but there is still nothing.

Do you really want to give up?

But she was not reconciled, she endured it, since she had persisted for nine days, she should persist until the last moment.

She didn't believe it, fish really don't take the bait?

The opponent played such a big game of chess just to save his own life, can he really hold back from taking a look at his downfall?
Almost at dusk, when the prison visits were about to pass, another prison visitor came slowly.

When Chu Qing heard the voice, she thought it was Qiao Yu who came to bring her food. She raised her eyes and saw two yamen servants leading a person slowly walking over. The sight in the cell was a little dark, and she didn't see it clearly at first. The face of the other party, as the other party got closer and closer, Chu Qing quietly looked at the other party's face, and suddenly lost her voice.

The visitor held a lunch box in his hand and handed over some money to the yamen guard, and then stood still outside the cell after seeing that the yamen guard had retired.

Seeing Chu Qing looking over, her eye circles turned red first, she squatted down, put down the lunch box, and tightly grasped the fence with both hands: "My lord, I made you suffer."

Chu Qing stared at the other party in a daze: "No problem, you...why are you here?"

The visitor lowered his eyes, and his eyes were filled with the sadness of the other party's imminent death: "I went back to Longmen Town to bury my father a few days ago, and I didn't expect to hear about such things when I came back, son, why are you... don't say no I told you, I was late!"

He opened the meal box, took out two cups of white jade wine and two porcelain cups inside, filled two cups of wine, and passed one cup over.

Chu Qing didn't answer.

The visitor patted himself on the head: "I almost forgot, son, you are still injured and cannot drink."

Chu Qing suddenly came back to her senses, and reached out to take it: "No problem, my injury is already healed."

She drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, it was mellow and full-bodied, but she only felt the bitterness in her mouth, and the words she had heard before quickly passed through her mind.

Raising a snake man and a snake warrior——When we passed each other, there was a scent of sandalwood on the opponent's body...

The shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion—ah, I remembered, he seems to be wearing something, it seems to be green, it looks like a wine gourd...

The person in front of me—my biological mother is a bar girl...

……

Scene after scene, she was puzzled at first, but suddenly this time, she suddenly understood completely.

If there was really one person who both hated and appreciated her, it was the person in front of her.

Why didn't she think of it?

She smiled softly at the person opposite: "Liu Shui, what kind of wine is this? It smells so good. I haven't drunk it anywhere else."

The person who came was Liu Shui, the new Patriarch of the Liu Family, and smiled with the corners of his lips pursed: "It's just Auntie's fault. However, she shouldn't be Auntie now. I helped her recover her identity, and she will be equal to the mistress in the future."

Chu Qing nodded: "That's pretty good."

In such a short period of time, the Liu family was taken over and over again. Even when he was in Longmen Town, he would monitor the main courtyard from time to time. Otherwise, how could she have known about Uncle Zhong from the other party?Then tripped up the former head of the Liu family in Longmen Town?How did you get Zhao Kuiwu?

Others may not know, but if he really speculates carefully, it seems that all this began to happen step by step after he knew about Uncle Zhong.

She only thought that it was impossible for the other party to know that she was the mastermind behind Liu Deqian's crime, but she never thought that maybe the other party knew about it a long time ago, and he used the kindness of knowledge to help him win the Liu family as a reward to thank Dade, but at the same time, he kept a low profile just for the sake of To avenge his father, all of this... After being sorted out, it turned out to be so simple, but I was so stupid that I was deceived by the other party's appearance of pure gratitude, and I actually believed it, thinking that the other party would never know that I was the one who killed his biological father murderer.

Chu Qing let out a long breath: "Tomorrow is the execution day, and I don't think there will be a chance in the future. I will have another drink with you, so you can go, so as not to hurt you."

There was a trace of sadness in Liu Shui's eyes: "Master... I'm sorry..."

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Why do you apologize?"

Liu Shui: "I came to see you so late, I can't do anything for you, I'm really sorry..."

Chu Qing: "..." If she just listened to this sincere voice and looked at the other party's apology, Chu Qing might not doubt it at all.

But now that I think about it, maybe since the first case, when he was in Manchunyuan, he started to plot against her, didn't he?

He took him to the Manchun Courtyard, but the concubine of a restaurant girl doesn't know how to drink?Passed out after two drinks?How can this be?

No wonder when she heard that Liu Shui's biological mother was a restaurant girl when she went to the Liu family's Seventh Day Festival, she always felt that something was weird, so it was here...

She took a deep breath: "It's okay, it's getting late, you can go back, but leave these glasses of wine to me."

Liu Shui responded repeatedly, and finally said a few more words of comfort, and left in a hurry.

Chu Qing looked at his figure and frowned. From the first case to the last one, she had overlooked so many important points. In the Manchun Courtyard that night, Liu Shui had no evidence except her, but it was Because the other party was drunk, those few girls first decided that the other party had no motive for being drunk and lethargic, so they were not suspected.

It was at that time that she was sure that the other party was really drunk, and she didn't classify the other party as a murderer at all.

After all, the other party didn't know Tianxiang before, so why is it necessary to kill the other party?

When she heard the snake man talking about sandalwood, she thought it was a monk. It turned out that she had checked the wrong way from the beginning.

There is sandalwood scent on his body, but he is not necessarily a monk. At that time, the former head of the Liu family had just died, and the seven-day ceremony, as the new head of the family, he must be in the mourning hall every day, and it is understandable that he has sandalwood on his body.

But she didn't expect this... It's just that she never doubted him at all.

She was careless... She deserved to be designed to this point.

Chu Qing took a deep breath and rubbed the center of her brows, but now even if she knew that the other party was the murderer, there was no evidence, and before that, she needed to make sure whether her thoughts were right.

Then the only thing that can be proven... is a thing.

Chu Qing squinted her eyes, and her eyes darkened.

When Chu Qing came to deliver dinner, she asked her to go back and tell Zhong Xuan to check something, as soon as possible that night, as soon as possible.

Chu Qing asked Zhong Xuan to do two things.

The first thing is to take this drink to check on Liu Shui's biological mother.

The second thing is the wine gourd jade pendant.Since it is a wine gourd, it must not have been given to him by the previous head of the Liu family. Besides, Liu Shui is not favored as a concubine, so it can only be given by his biological mother. If it is symbolic, there must be something involved. Or an heirloom.Find that restaurant and find a way to figure out what the wine gourd looks like.

The third thing is to take the portrait and go to the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion for verification.

If it turns out that the wine gourd was indeed worn by the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion when he saw the murderer on the day when Qin Sizong saw him, then Liu Shui must be the murderer without a doubt.

When Zhong Xuan heard the witty words, he did not stop at all.Tomorrow is the day of execution, and he was so anxious that he was about to discuss with someone to rob the prisoner. Suddenly he heard that the person actually appeared, and he was someone he had seen once or twice. After being overwhelmed, I didn't dare to wait any longer and went to do it immediately.

He understood what Chu Qing meant, if he took the liberty to inquire about Liu Shui's biological mother, it would easily arouse the other party's suspicion.

But if you use this wine, say how many years it was treasured, and only inquire about the wine, then you will naturally find the parents of Liu Shui's biological mother. Many people have seen it.

It's just that the sky is completely dark now, and at noon tomorrow, there will only be one night and one day.

Zhong Xuan was really afraid that he would not be able to find out. Chu Qing probably guessed that he would be anxious, and specially asked him not to be anxious with the witty words. If she was not sure at the last moment, she would have proved her innocence in the execution ground by then.

Although Zhong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, he still didn't dare to relax. In fact, the situation they were facing at the moment was very embarrassing.

Time is too short, even if it is confirmed that Liu Shui is the murderer.

But they didn't have any evidence. This man was too smart. He didn't know what method he used. He had been in Longmen Town for the past few days, so he would have evidence of his alibi. It was too difficult to prove that he was the murderer.

If it wasn't necessary, he still didn't want Chu Qing to bluntly say that he was a woman, because there was an uncertain factor here, and that was Li Tianxiao.They were not sure whether Li Tianxiao would be dissatisfied with Chu Qing because of this reason.

The emperor's heart is the most difficult to guess, one mistake, it may be lost forever.

Chu Qing didn't know Zhong Xuan's worry, but the matter had reached this point, it was useless to worry any more.

Now, instead, she has calmed down. Thinking of how she coaxed Li Tianxiao to promise not to kill her no matter what the situation was, she wondered why she said such stupid things.

Zhong Xuan didn't sleep almost all night, so he rushed to Longmen Town overnight and found out the jade wine gourd.

It's just that when he got the news that he got the appearance of the jade gourd, it was already two hours before three quarters in the afternoon, and it would take half a day to travel from Longmen Town to the capital, even at a fast pace.

Zhong Xuan hurried on almost non-stop along the way, and finally arrived half an hour before three quarters in the afternoon.

He almost rushed into the Treasure Pavilion, but he only saw a few servants cleaning the Treasure Pavilion, and he didn't see the shopkeeper at all.

Zhong Xuan was so anxious that he almost went crazy: "Where is your shopkeeper?"

The boy was almost dumbfounded by Zhong Xuan's grip on his clothes: "Ah... ah? Our shopkeeper... went, went to other places to buy goods." These days, because of Qin Si's disappearance and subsequent tragic death, the Zhenbao Pavilion It was called indifference, and the shopkeeper figured that this would not work, so he planned to change industries. No, he went to other places for inspection two days ago.

Zhong Xuan's eyes darkened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "When will he come back?"

The boy was grabbed by Zhong Xuan, like a quail: "Just, just now, I just don't know why I haven't come back..."

Zhong Xuan asked directly: "He said he didn't say which way to come back?"

The boy told the way, Zhong Xuan let go of him, quickly walked out of the Zhenbao Pavilion, turned over, got on the horse, and galloped in that direction.
