Brocade clothing

Chapter 226

Chu Qing went back to the government office, and as expected, Ying Yatou did not find any useful information, but someone came to identify the dozens of corpses, but it was only one, the master recorded it, and came to find Chu light.

Chu Qing flipped through it and frowned: "Did you disappear in July two years ago?"

The master book said: "Yes, it is the young lady of the Xu family on Qianjie Street. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. She is pampered. I heard that she was only twenty-eight years old. When she disappeared, she was accompanied by a maid. Later, both the maid and the young lady disappeared and never came back. , I heard that they searched for a long time, but they couldn't find anyone. Finally, they reported the case, but nothing happened. The family felt uncomfortable, so they moved to a nearby place to live. They just arrived when they got the news, and it was confirmed that one of the corpses was At that time, the maid who accompanied Miss Xu's family, because the maid had already died, they didn't know where the lady went at that time, they only heard that she was going to buy rouge, and then disappeared."

Chu Qing hummed, and waved her hand: "Calculate the specific time and see if there are still people looking for it in the past few days."

The master book nodded: "Yes, my lord."

At night, as soon as Chu Qing walked out of the study, she saw Ying Zhenxing waiting outside, she looked over suspiciously: "Yantou Ying, what's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, are you going to Yinyue Tower?" Ying Zhenxing asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Sir, may I go with you?" Ying Zhenxing tightened his grip on the saber at his waist.

Chu Qing was taken aback for a moment, at first she thought that Ying Zhenxing also wanted to go to the brothel, but thinking about Ying Yatou, who has always been an upright person, he had never heard that the other party was interested in the place of fireworks, and then he understood that Ying Zhenxing Thinking about it, he smiled: "Ying Yatou is afraid that something will happen to me? Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. Many people in this capital know you. If you ask you to follow me, it will be easy to expose the target. I will go alone. But." Chu Qing didn't want to involve another person, what's more, this Yinyue Tower is not safe, and what she has to do is to lure snakes out of the hole, and there will be more people.

"But..." Ying Zhenxing was still worried, especially when his eyes fell on her delicate face, her skin was as creamy and white as jade, her lips were red and her teeth were white. Ever since he knew that those ruthless people wanted the human skin of a young girl, he was worried about Chu Qing something will happen.

"Don't worry, if Ying Yatou is worried, then wait outside the alley of Yinyue Tower, just don't expose the target, the surrounding area of ​​Yinyue Tower...is not peaceful. No matter what you see later, just wait If you don’t see it, as long as I am not in danger, don’t show up. I might go to an inn, but I did. After you go in, you can leave on your own.” After all, Chu Qing compromised, fearing that Ying Yatou He is not at ease staying here like this, this Ying Yatou is indeed a role model for Yamen servants.

Chu Qing went to Yinyue Tower alone this time, and still ordered Hongyu. When Hongyu moved away from the screen and saw Chu Qing, she was obviously surprised, and then surprise flashed in her eyes: "My lord, it's you. Are you not ...Did you say you want to leave?"

Chu Qing looked at Hongyu affectionately from the bottom of her eyes, and saw that the other party's face turned red: "Why, Miss Hongyu, don't you welcome me?"

Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward with her pipa in her arms, shook her head and said, "How could it be? It's... the slave family was too surprised. I originally thought that the young master had left the capital... it was the slave family who said something wrong, and the slave family respected the young master."

Chu smiled lightly: "I heard that you have to pay for the toast? Yesterday, it was Brother Fang's treat. He has already left the capital first. Some shipments are late. I will stay a few more days. I hope Miss Hongyu Don't feel bored because I come too often." As Chu Qing said, he took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and put it on the grid, and the grid immediately fell, and the silver disappeared quickly.

Hongyu's pink face was dripping with blood, and she took a light look at Chu Qing: "I'd like to toast you." However, her eyes were fixed on Chu Qing's handsome face, and she liked it so much that she almost Standing close to Chu Qing, Chu Qing stretched out her arms, wrapped her waist and brought her into her arms, Hongyu struggled lightly, then was stopped, sitting on Chu Qing's lap, giving her She poured a glass of wine and fed it to Chu Qing shyly.

Chu Qing drank it all in one gulp, lifted her chin, and rubbed her fingertips gently: "How about Miss Hongyu singing a song for me?"

Hongyu blushed in response, stood up reluctantly, hugged the pipa and began to play, Chu Qing asked Hongyu to sing four or five ditties in succession for the next half hour, each time she sang Just put it on once, it seems like throwing a lot of money for the beautiful woman, seeing Hongyu's pretty face flushed even more, but seeing Chu Qing's posture, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "It's not easy for the young master to make money, I will chat with the young master lets chat?"

Chu touched her little hand lightly: "Miss Hongyu is feeling sorry for me, don't worry, I just made a fortune, not to mention this small amount of money, even if it is a small amount of money, it is easy to redeem the girl..."

Hongyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what to think, just about to raise her hand to cover Chu Qing's mouth, when she heard a ding ding dongdong in the room, because she was so close, Chu Qing clearly saw Hongyu His face paled a bit.

Chu Qing pretended not to see it, and looked around curiously: "Hey, why is there a bell?"

"No, no, is there any?" Hongyu was a little absent-minded afterwards, Chu Qing saw that it was almost time, before leaving, he gave Hongyu another porcelain, this time it was a blooming rose, let Hongyu see Deqiao's face turned even redder, but she hesitated to speak before leaving, but she still couldn't speak out.

Chu Qing waited until she got out of the Yinyue Tower, and walked forward unsteadily, but she felt someone following behind her just a few steps away, she raised the corners of her mouth, and walked towards the inn that she had rented a long time ago, when she arrived at the place , went straight to the second floor, but after entering, she opened a crack in the door, and after a while, she heard someone from below asking for her identity from the shopkeeper.

When the other party heard that he was really a wealthy businessman and had rented here for a long time, he believed it and left.

Not long after, Yu Kuifeng came down from the third floor and turned into her room: "What are you doing, who is that person who inquired about you?"

This inn is Li Tianxiao's secret business, and now it is managed by Yu Gufeng. Although Chu Qing guessed it, she didn't expect that the other party would be so impatient and come to inquire for the first time. Fortunately, she was prepared: " They are not people, but those who make human skin lanterns."

Yu Kufeng originally wanted to ask back when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he immediately shrank his neck: "Don't scare me, why don't you just let someone arrest you?!"

Chu Qing squinted his eyes: "Don't you want to know who is behind this scene? Such a huge Yinyue Tower, except for a dozen murders, has not attracted much attention. Don't you find it strange?"

Yu Kuifeng chinned silently: "It's quite strange, but...is it not dangerous? If you let the emperor know that you do this kind of thing, I'm afraid..."

Chu Qing said: "The emperor knows, don't worry." After Chu Qing took off the disguise on her face, she changed back to her usual clothes, left through the secret passage, returned to her room, and left the house early the next morning After the arrangements were made, the Fuya went back to the inn, and then, according to Yu Kufeng's previous instructions, he began to use Yu Sheng's identity to go to the Zangbao Pavilion, to the rice and grain shop, to the silk and satin shop, and in several big shops. After going back and forth between them, after saying goodbye to a few shopkeepers, they returned to the inn again, looked down from the window on the second floor, and saw someone following them, and left after a while.

Two days later, Chu Qing went to Yinyue Tower again on the night of the third day, but when she wanted to see Hongyu this time, she was told that Hongyu was with other guests and asked Chu Qing to order some girls. She smiled lightly: "No need, open a box for me, I'll wait for Miss Hongyu to make an appointment." After finishing speaking, she took out a piece of silver and put it in the hand of the bustard.

The old bustard immediately smiled and asked her to take her to the wing room. Then, after Chu Qing had sat for a while, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, but the person who came in was not Hongyu, but a strong man with a hand in his hand. Holding a jug, saw Chu Qing, smiled and said: "Oh, I went wrong, I went wrong..."

Chu Qing smiled: "No problem."

But who would have thought that this person not only didn't leave, but also came in with a flagon: "Meeting is fate, big brother, come, come, brother will accompany you for a drink!" After finishing speaking, he poured two glasses regardless The wine, and handed Chu Qing a cup: "If you don't drink, you won't give brother face! Huh?"

Chu Qing looked at the drunken appearance of the other party. He was a stranger who had never seen it before. It seemed that the other party would let newcomers come every time he made a move. She smiled, took it over, lowered her head and sniffed, and felt relieved that there was no medicine. Drink it all in one gulp: "Acceptance."
