Chapter 30 Going to the Capital
Qin Qin shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the Qin family, it's just that the yamen has been preparing for the selection of the servants for the past two days, so they have neglected to monitor the Liu family. Unexpectedly, when we passed by today, we found that the Liu family had died yesterday. The whole family moved to... the capital." Qin Datou tightened his sword hand on his waist, and a look of annoyance flashed across his cold face: "Sorry, I didn't expect them to be like this." Their jurisdiction is only in Longmen Town, in this way, it will be even more difficult to catch them again.

Chu Qing's face turned pale, and the hand hanging by her side clenched a little bit, her eyes darkened for a moment, then she calmed down quickly, and wiped her face.She knew that Qin Tutou couldn't be blamed for this matter, since the Liu family sent a nanny to take the blame, they might have made this plan a long time ago.Otherwise, they wouldn't have moved away so soon.

There must have been a lot of preparations in the early stage, but they were doing it in the dark, so it was hard for them to notice it.

Chu Qing gritted her teeth and said: "It's okay, I just want to go out, and I will chase them wherever they go." But I don't know where Mr. Yu and the others want her to investigate. If it is the capital, it is best, If not, she will finish the matter first, and use their identities to investigate the Liu family.Otherwise, just relying on her status as a gangster and the shelter of the Liu family in the capital, it would be even more difficult to move her in the slightest.

Since Mr. Yu is a wealthy businessman, he must have colluded with the officialdom, but she can take advantage of it.

Qin Butou looked at her with firm eyes, and he couldn't say anything: "Xiao Chu, you just need to think about it clearly. If you leave Longmen Town, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you a little bit, but here is a letter from me many years ago." Old friend, he is currently working as a Jinyiwei in the Zhenfu Department of Kyoto. If you have any difficulties, you can go to him. He has read my letter and will give you convenience if he can help, but I am afraid that he will not be able to help you. Too many." Although Qin Tutou is only a small Butou, he is still clear about the situation in the court.

The empress dowager is a member of the Liu family, and the Liu family in the capital is her own family. With the Liu family here, Chu Qing went to investigate the Liu family. It was like plucking the beard from a tiger's head. It was hard to imagine.

Chu Qing looked at the letter handed in front of him, and said gratefully: "Chu has recorded the kindness of Catcher Qin."

Qin Butou patted her on the shoulder, feeling that Xiao Chu was really thinner, and his body was about the same as a woman's, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll be my own from now on, and you'll come back after you finish dealing with the matter there. The Yamen is always open for you."

On the fifth day when Chu Qing had agreed with the mysterious man, as soon as she walked out of the gate of the yamen, a carriage slowly stopped in front of her.

The curtain was lifted, revealing Yu Kuifeng's face: "Come up."

Chu Qing lowered her eyes and got into the carriage.Yesterday, she went to Yingfulou first, and learned from Boss Nie that the Liu family moved to the capital this time, and was supported by the Liu family in the capital, which made it even more difficult for her to check the Liu family.But after all, knowing the current location of the Liu family, it's at least a good thing that you don't have to be caught in the dark.

After being sentenced to Qiuhou Wenjuan with his wife, Chu Qing felt unspeakably disappointed, but knew that there was nothing she could do on her own, so she could only harden her heart.

Chu Qing got into the carriage, and found that from the outside, the carriage was ordinary, except that it was bigger, there was no difference. When she really went in, she found that there was a universe inside.

Small but complete.

The interior is extremely luxurious, but it is actually divided into two parts, separated by a bead curtain in the middle, and only a figure can be vaguely seen, leaning on the soft couch, and seems to be holding a book in her hand. Blocked by Yu Gufeng's figure: "Sit there." He was referring to the wooden couch on both sides of the outer room, Chu Qing didn't care, after sitting down, he said: "Where are you going?"

"The capital." Yu Kuifeng said, it is not easy for me to wait for five days, and I just don't have time to stay here anymore. In the capital, I am afraid that Brother Chu will not object.

"The capital? What you want to investigate is in the capital?" Chu Qing's eyes lit up.

"Not necessarily, but the source is there." Yu Kufeng said expressionlessly.

Chu Qing was silent for a while, and said: "I see, see you in the capital in five days."

Yu Kufeng was taken aback, and asked, "Aren't you going with us?"

"No, I'm being watched. If you follow me, I'm afraid you'll reveal your identities." Even if their identities were not revealed, she didn't want people to know that she was going to the capital.Since the Liu family was able to frame her, it meant that they knew her whereabouts like the back of their hands, and maybe they were still monitoring him now.Since they can frame themselves once, they can frame themselves a second time.

"Are you afraid that we won't be able to get rid of those people?" Yu Banfeng frowned.

"It is possible, but this is not a foolproof method." The best way is to let them give up and follow her.

"Isn't it a foolproof solution?" Yu Kufeng didn't quite understand.

"Young Master will know when the time comes. However, before we part, I need your help. I wonder if you can agree?" Since they have something to ask for, mutual benefit is also necessary.

Yu Kufeng glanced behind the bead curtain for proof: "Master?"

Not long after the bead curtain, a lazy voice came: "Yes."

Only then did Yu Gufeng respond: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Chu Qing was not polite to them, and said directly: "I need a new identity document and official guidance."

Yu Kuifeng didn't expect it to be such a simple matter, and nodded his head and said: "Understood, I will deliver it to your residence in the Yamen of Longmen Town tomorrow. On the fifth day, I will wait for you in the ancient Ju Pavilion in the capital, and I will inform you when the time comes." Where to find it, don't be too late."

Chu Qing didn't expect them to be so fast, she complied, and found a corner to let them put her down.She walked very slowly, stopping and asking small vendors along the way, and she saw two people following her out of the corner of her eye.

After Chu Qing strolled around, she returned to the yamen again, and waited peacefully.

Early the next morning, when she woke up, she found a new identity document and guide on the table.Just waiting for Chu Qing to open the document, seeing the new name on it, the corners of her mouth could not help twitching: "Yu Xiaochu?" Why did she choose Yu?

But these are only secondary, Chu Qing didn't get too entangled, and said goodbye to Qin Tutou, took the letter written by Qin Tutou, document and Lu Yin, hired a carriage, and left Longmen Town.When she first left Longmen Town, she still used Chu Qing's identity documents and guides, and carried a bag with only a few simple clothes in it. She temporarily handed over the master's box to Qin Butou, and let him After she leaves, find a way to transport it to an address she left in the capital.

She walked to the pier along the way, took the silver, sat on the opposite side of the capital, and went all the way south.After walking like this for half a day, Chu Qing knew that there might be people who watched her mixed into the boat, and she wasn't sure how many people the Liu family had sent, so in the middle of the night, she went to the deck alone, raised her eyes and looked into the distance. After waiting for a while, when the time was almost up, when walking back, I staggered and fell into the water.

When she fell into the water, she immediately started calling for help, shouting for help, and after calling out several times, she sank in by herself. Through the dizzy water curtain, she clearly saw several people surrounding her, she quickly dived into the water, On the bottom of the boat.

I don't know how long it took, but the noise from above quieted down. The boatman didn't want to go down the river to salvage at such a late hour.

Later, after the complete silence, Chu Qing suddenly swam to a deeper level, and silently re-drilled into the reeds, and only swam back to the way he came when the boat was far away.

Chu Qing swam until midnight until she reached the shore. She got on the shore, quickly changed the clothes hidden under the pier, and changed her makeup. This time she didn't directly paint black, but directly looked at the eyes, eyebrows, lips, and nose bridge. It's all been retouched, and when it's all in place, it looks like a different person.

This way, it's not dark and has a big beard, but it won't arouse too much suspicion.

a few days later.

Chu Qing brought her new identity document and road to the capital, and lived in an inn next to Beizhen Fusi. Because the price is fair and affordable, this small inn is full of people from all walks of life. But it is also easier to sniff out gossip.

Chu Qing paid half a month's rent and asked Xiaoer to open a room on the innermost side of the second floor for her. After dressing up again, she changed into a normal dress and went down to the second floor to let Xiaoer go up. After ordering two dishes and a pot of tea, he began to drink slowly.

She drank slowly, looked nonchalant, and sat in a corner, so she didn't attract the attention of the people in the inn.

Chu Qing listened carefully to the sounds around her, distinguishing those that were useful to her.

She sat there all afternoon and heard about three things.One is that there is a disagreement between the North and South Township Divisions, and now the two divisions are investigating a case of the disappearance of a young woman. Every ten days in the capital, a woman disappears, and the missing persons are all well-known official ladies and some wealthy businessmen. Women, there are very few women from ordinary families.

Because these people were afraid of tarnishing their reputation due to their status, they dared not make a big announcement, so it took nearly half a year before it was announced.

The reason why it can be spread is because Liu Guojiu, a girl who is a relative of the five clothes, was raised in the Liu family in the early years. Because of the similar age, she has been with the Liu family's daughter since she was a child. On the way to burn incense, this Miss Liu family actually disappeared.

The eldest lady of the Liu family has a bad temper, but she is very affectionate, so she made a big fuss. Uncle Liu Guo had a headache, so he had to put pressure on her, but never thought that this investigation would involve more than 20 missing women , completely exploded in the capital.After the incident became serious, it was heard that Li Xiaotian, Emperor Mingzong of the Ming Dynasty, was alarmed, and he was furious, and directly asked the Zhenfu Division to solve the case within two days.

The two divisions of the North and the North Zhenfu were at odds with each other. Previously, the two divisions had their own assignments. The Nanzhen Fusi was responsible for the legal and military discipline of Jinyiwei; the Beizhen Fusi was in charge of cases appointed by the emperor, and could carry out arrests and torture on their own. Prisoners do not have to go through the judiciary.

But later, the two divisions formed their own faction, and they were not pleasing to each other. With a wave of his hand, the emperor directly formed two divisions with the same duties, which improved the efficiency on the contrary.It's just that the contradiction between the two companies is getting bigger and bigger.

So this time, the two divisions held their breath, and it was up to them to solve the case first.
