Chapter 309
When the two heard the second half of the sentence, their faces turned pale with fright, and then looked at Liang Yu's embarrassed and gloomy gaze, without any doubt about what the other said, and immediately dared not think of fooling: "Of course not, I dare not hide it! I dare not !"

Liang Yu wiped her face, covered the embarrassment in her eyes, turned around and looked at Chu Qing: "Mrs. Xiao, the rest... will be left to you."

Chu Qing knew what the other party meant, he had done this villain, and he had done what he thought he could do, but investigating cases and finding clues was not something he was good at, so she could only rely on her.

Chu Qing raised a little respect for Liang Yu again. After all, there are not many people in this world who can know how to repay him. Back then, Mrs. Xu was kind to him in nurturing him. Now Mrs. Xu was murdered by her relatives, so she can avenge her after death Yes, but he is the only one.

Chu Qing didn't believe that the sons of Xu's family really didn't know the slightest bit. After all, although Xu's mouth could not speak at that time, the pain in his body could not be hidden from everyone, but they turned a blind eye to it, and even acquiesced in this situation. It makes people dare not think deeply.

Those two also looked at this lady strangely, and looked at each other, but because of Liang Yu's previous warning, they didn't dare to play tricks, so they could only bite the bullet and say: "This lady... you, you want what do you know?"

Chu Qing looked at one of them: "You said earlier downstairs that there are relatives in your family who work in Xu's family?"

The man nodded quickly: "Yes, he was just cleaning. At that time, there was a shortage of people in the mansion, so he was chosen to carry the coffin for Mrs. Xu, but he was also curious at the time. After all, Mrs. Xu died very hard. It's too weird, and... Rumor has it that he was tortured to death by a voodoo doll. My cousin is a courageous one, so he couldn't hold back, and took another look. As a result, this one...nearly died of fright. Then Mrs. Xu's eyes are wide open, it's always scary."

At that moment, the man remembered what his cousin said at that time, and he also had lingering fears, "At that time, my cousin was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he fell ill for a while when he came back, and then he was replaced. He hasn't gone back to work yet. Do you want him or not?"

It was a pity that the man said this. After all, the Xu family was a big family, paid high wages, and treated the servants harshly. They were quite good customers.

Chu Qing said: "Did your cousin say that there was any unusual situation at that time?"

"An ordinary situation? It seems to be nothing... My cousin didn't say anything." The man shook his head, his brows were deeply furrowed, and after careful consideration, he still didn't think of anything.

Chu Qing added more tea for him: "Think about it carefully, do you have much contact with your cousin on weekdays?"

"A lot, why not? Our two families live opposite each other and we can see each other every day. My cousin is a big talker and doesn't hide things in his heart. Especially this kind of big family. If there is something interesting, he will tell me. Yes." When the man said this, he felt a little complacent, and from the corner of his eye he couldn't help but glance at Liang Yu's silver note, the 1000 taels of silver note, if he could get it, it would guarantee that he wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life.

Master Liang is really generous.

Chu Qing continued to ask: "It doesn't have to be after Mrs. Xu's death, it may also be a month, or within two or three months of Xu's family."

The Xu family was killed suddenly, and Mo Niang was used as a scapegoat. This case was definitely not prepared in a day or two, and the witch doll, no matter how you look at it, it took at least two or three months to prepare. It takes longer.

"What happened within two or three months..." The man didn't seem to have a good memory, "Then, let me think about it, Ma'am, there are too many things to do every day, and it's really hard to imagine such a sudden and long-term event." .”

Chu Qing nodded: "No hurry." She turned her head to look at another person who was eager to try, "Who are you setting up a stall outside Xu's mansion?"

The man was tall and thin. Hearing this, he smiled flatteringly at Chu Qing: "It's my uncle. He knows a few strokes, so he made a lot of calligraphy and paintings and sold them in Xu's house. It happened to be opposite, so Xu He knows all the people who come in and out of the front door of the house."

Chu Qing nodded: "You said earlier that the Xu family invited a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts around the first seven days. I wonder which Taoist priest they invited?"

The man said: "This lady, you are asking the right person. They are two Taoist priests in the Beiwen Temple. They say it is a Beiwen Temple, but it is actually a ruined temple. There are only two Taoist priests in it. They gave such a Name, those two Taoist priests have no skills, they are just cheating and abducting. Many people in Qingzhou have been deceived by them, but what I didn't expect was that such a big Xu family would believe such a thing... But speaking of it, several A month ago, my uncle said that he had seen these two Taoist priests at the gate of Xu's house."

Chu Qing's pupils brightened, "A few months ago? How long was it? Did something happen at that time? Why did you suddenly invite a Taoist priest?"

The man said: "Speaking of which, it is the third son of the Xu family, the third son of the Xu family. I heard that he was ill, but the eldest brother of the Xu family is fine. He thought that he was suffering from bad luck, so he invited these two Taoist priests to come over to the third son of the Xu family. Look, my lord, in the end, I don't know how to anger the old lady of the Xu family. I heard that the two Taoist priests were kicked out at that time. suffered."

Chu Qing frowned: "You said, Mrs. Xu drove these two Taoist priests out?"

"exactly."

"Why are you sure it's Mrs. Xu, can't someone else drive it out?"

"Oh, this must be Mrs. Xu. At that time, Mrs. Xu scolded all the way to the door, pointing at the noses of the two Taoist priests and making them go away. Many people have seen it. If you don't believe Madam, you can go out and ask." The man thought that Chu Qing didn't believe him, so he patted his chest to assure him.

When he said this, the person before him also thought of something: "Yes, yes, when it comes to this, I also remembered it. For several months, I heard that the boss of the Xu family had a fight with the second child, and it was quite fierce. .”

"A few months ago? Specifically how many months, you think about it carefully." Chu Qing somehow felt that this was crucial.

The man frowned and thought hard, then stood up abruptly: "I remembered...it was a few days before August [-]th last year, that's right, it was August [-]th, when the Xu family returned A lot of mooncakes were given out, because they are high-quality mooncakes, if you go to buy them yourself, it will cost one tael or six, which is very expensive, and my cousin even showed it off, just two days before that."

"When you said that, I also remembered that the two Taoist priests were kicked out after August [-]th. At that time, we had just passed the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seemed that the third child of the Xu family was around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Sick, the Taoist priest who was invited later..." Chu Qing lowered her eyes, was it Mid-Autumn Festival last year?It's been so long, it's been more than half a year.

Chu Qing looked at the first person again, "Do you still remember what happened between the boss of the Xu family and the second child?"

The man thought for a while, "The cousin was drunk at the time, so he just mentioned it. The two masters didn't see the cousin. There came a sentence, "You are crazy to do this, mother will be mad", and then, the boss of the Xu family slapped him. The second son of the Xu family was so angry that he ran away. It was a little far away, and the two quarreled fiercely, and even the second child of the Xu family pushed the eldest. The cousin was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to get too close."

Chu Qing slowly sat aside, always feeling in her head that there seems to be a key point in these messy things, if she can find it, then it is likely to be able to make a difference.

Those two seemed to be frightened by Chu Qing's serious expression, and they looked at Chu Qing anxiously: "Madam, we have told you everything we know, can you let us go?"

Chu Qing said: "When you go back, just pretend that you haven't seen us, do you know? After this matter is over, Master Liang will give you the bank notes. If anyone of you thinks of any clues, tell us If we are useful, I will continue to add money to you."

The eyes of the two of them lit up instantly.

Chu Qing added: "The premise is...it is useful to us, I hope you don't just use things to fool us."

The two nodded again and again: "Don't dare."

Chu Qing looked at the first person, and continued: "Is your cousin cured?"

The man shook his head: "Not yet, he was frightened."

Chu Qing nodded and looked at Tianyi: "Follow him and draw a picture of his cousin."

Tianyi's eyes lit up, that's right, Miss Chu's disguise technique is very powerful, they can use this person's cousin status to sneak into the Xu family, maybe they can find out a lot of things.

After Tianyi left with his people, Yao Zongping hurriedly asked, "But what did you find?"

Chu Qing said: "The news is too messy, we need to think again."

Li Tianxiao took the rice paper from the side, several people formed a group, Chu Qing took a wolf hair brush, and began to analyze what the two people said before: "Let's talk about before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the Xu family The boss and the second child had an inexplicable quarrel, and the second child of the Xu family said, "You're crazy and mother will go crazy if you do this." The key point is, what did the eldest brother of the Xu family do that might make Xu's mad? Is it business or Private matters? Mrs. Xu has already handed over the family to the eldest and second child. Then, the official business affairs should not make her mad, so it is a private matter. What is the private matter that Mrs. Xu cares about? Let's continue to watch, and then the Mid-Autumn Festival , the eldest son of the Xu family is ill, so does this illness have anything to do with the previous quarrel? Then, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest brother of the Xu family invited two Taoist priests, but these two Taoist priests made Xu family ignore people's jokes, and unexpectedly He was so angry that he drove people to the door and kicked them out. Then, what did these two Taoist priests do so that Mrs. Xu would not hesitate to come and drive them out in person instead of letting the servants?"

After Chu Qing's analysis, several people understood it, but they didn't know the few questions Chu Qing asked.

Chu Qing looked at Liang Yu who was frowning and thinking: "Master Liang, what is the temperament of the eldest and second son of the Xu family?"
