Brocade clothing

Chapter 364
The yamen servants who stayed behind were frightened by this sentence, "Sir, absolutely not. With the nature of that family, if the coffin is opened for an autopsy without their permission, I am afraid there will be endless troubles, and it will definitely be of no benefit to your lord." It's one thing to help Mr. Zheng, but it's not appropriate if Mr. Zheng affects his official career.

"Don't worry, I'm not doing an autopsy. You don't have to use a knife for an autopsy. You can also use your eyes and hands." Chu Qing squinted, and the cold light in his eyes made the servants around him tremble.

However, just in case, some yamen servants went to close the door, and the remaining two yamen servants lifted the lid of the coffin, revealing the girl who was dying inside.

She was still wearing extremely embarrassing clothes. It has been two days since she died. She has not been tidied and cleaned at all. It was completely black and purple, and looked extremely terrifying.

The two yamen servants looked over and trembled in fright: "This... This family is too cruel, at least it is my own daughter, at least it should be tidied up, even if it is a change of clean clothes. ah."

"It's not miserable, how can they achieve the effect they want." Chu Qing's eyes fell on the girl's eyes, sighed, raised her hand, put it on the other's eyes, and touched them lightly.

When he raised his hand again, the opponent's eyes had already been closed, instead of opening them frighteningly, he looked a little more delicate.

Chu Qing glanced at the scars on her neck very lightly. There were no two crossed lines, but a single trace. She had indeed committed suicide.

But the other party is beautiful and young, what exactly happened to make her get rid of everything by killing herself?
Also, Zheng Rongman said earlier that the other party was extremely willing not to marry him, and Chu Qing guessed that the other party had a sweetheart.

It's just that such a person hasn't appeared since the other party's death, so... She helped Xu Yue tidy up her clothes, and ordered back: "Stay back."

The two yamen servants immediately turned around without asking why.

Chu Qing took off Xu Yue's clothes, and after careful inspection, there was nothing unusual.

She frowned, feeling as if she had encountered a bottleneck, took a deep breath, and then went down slowly, but when she reached the bottom of her stomach, Chu Qing's hand stopped suddenly, and her eyes widened suddenly.

She checked it again as if she didn't believe it, her breath was suffocated, and she gritted her teeth. After a long while, she slowly tidied up Xu Yue's clothes.

After Chu Qing tidied it up, she took a few steps back, her eyes full of sorrow, making the servant uneasy and said: "My lord, but what did you find out?"

Chu Qing hummed: "The deceased...should have been pregnant."

"What?!" The yamen servant probably didn't expect this, and suddenly raised his head, startled.

Chu Qing's face was calm: "Don't talk about this matter for the time being, it will affect the reputation of the other party, take a look and bring a stable woman over, and then tell Liu Da and the others to investigate by yourself, especially the little sister who has a good relationship with Xu Yue , to inquire about them, and... to find out secretly, who the child might be."

Several yamen servants also knew that the key point of the matter was probably here, and immediately said: "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."

Not long after, Mrs. Wen was found. After such an investigation, it turned out that the deceased had been pregnant for three months, and then the government servant came back in the middle of the night to report: "My lord, we found out some things, but it was related to Xu Liang. There is a big discrepancy between what Shi said."

"Oh? What's going on?" Chu Qing asked.

"This Mrs. Xu Liang said that after the neighbors in the neighborhood knew about Mr. Zheng, their cold words made Xu Yue unable to live, but what we found out was the other side."

"What is it?"

"The reputation of the Xu family is not very good around, but because the little girl of the Xu family can endure hardships, she can get by, but this little girl has actually engaged in a baby marriage." The yamen servant said slowly, "It was only half a year ago. It was canceled suddenly."

"Do you know who the other party is?" Chu Qing asked.

"I know, the other party is their neighbor, but because the other party's father encountered a shipwreck when he went to sea to receive the goods half a year ago, all the goods were submerged at that time, and the man went bankrupt and paid for it. He was penniless at the time. At that time, Xu Liang After she found out, she didn't say hello to Xu Yue, and took her clansmen to retire. At that time, the man's mother was seriously ill because of his father's affairs and was bedridden. Later, Xu Liang made such a fuss and directly angered her. He became even more seriously ill, and in a fit of anger, the man tore up the marriage contract of the year, which was regarded as the dissolution of the engagement. And the man's mother did not survive, and died of illness three months ago, and the man left the capital within a few days. I don't know where I am."

At this time, the yamen servant couldn't help but let out a long sigh, this Xu Liang family is really evil enough.

"So it's like this... No wonder she doesn't want to marry Master Zheng." Chu Qing said.

"I heard that Miss Xu had a marriage contract with that man since she was a child. They are childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship. If it weren't for the troubles among Xu Liang, they probably wouldn't..." It's just a pity for such a young couple, the woman's The mother forced the man's mother to death, which is probably impossible in this life.

"But why..." Chu Qing frowned. In this case, why is Xu Yue still pregnant? "What's that man's name?"

"It's Qin Sheng. But the other party left three months ago, I don't know where he went, and I'm afraid he won't be able to find him for a while." The yamen servant said.

"After Master Zheng canceled this marriage proposal, has Mrs. Xu Liang made any marriage proposals for her?" Chu Qing asked.

"My lord, don't tell me...there really is. But this Xu Liang family is really... the family she married to, is the second son of a wealthy family, but this second son is an incomprehensible person who has been lingering on Liuxiang all year round. , there are seven or eight roommates in the mansion, and there are also two concubines, who are not good. But this Xu Liang seems to be very anxious, so he directly negotiated and agreed. He heard about it in a few days I'm going to be hired, but I didn't expect... this little girl Xu committed suicide directly, and the family over there will just die." The yamen servant told the news he had inquired about.

It's just that the more you probe into the bottom of your heart, the colder it becomes, which is quite unbelievable.

Chu Qing didn't speak for a long time, rubbing the center of her brows: "Think of a way to invite that family to come over and be a witness tomorrow."

"But... but such a mess, the family may not agree..."

"Just as I said, Xu Yue's death will never involve them." Chu Qing said slowly.

With Chu Qing's guarantee, the yamen servants went over to invite them, probably because Chu Qing was famous these days, and they didn't want to offend such a prisoner, so they really sent a message saying that they would definitely be there.

In the early morning of the next day, the gongs and drums outside the office of the Tixing Mansion were noisy, and the curious people gathered around.

This capital city is not small, but it is not big.In addition, the person Xu Liang reported was an official of the sixth grade, so the news yesterday seemed to have grown wings and flew very fast.

So when they heard that there was going to be an interrogation, they immediately surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

Because Zheng Rongman had an official position, he stood aside and did not kneel down.

Xu Liang and the others knelt down neatly, but whispered tears while kneeling, which made the people who didn't know the truth feel sympathetic and looked at Zheng Rongman as if he was a bully.

Zheng Rongman lowered his eyes and kept silent.

"My lord, you are the master of Qingtian, you must make the decision for us!" Xu Liang cried out, choked up, and almost passed out.

Being hugged by Xu Feng, a mother and daughter cried miserably, and the common people were filled with righteous indignation when they saw Zheng Rongman's eyes.

Not to mention that there is a coffin on the side of the lobby.

Chu Qing didn't speak, but just patted the exclamation wood.

Yatou shouted: "Bring the Nie family up here."

Following this sound, Xu Liang and the others paused, as if being strangled by the neck, they immediately became hoarse.

They probably couldn't figure out why the Nie family was involved in this matter?Is it the Nie family they know?

But no matter what they thought or how their faces changed, after a while, the yamen servant brought two people forward, one was Mr. Nie and the other was Mrs. Nie.

The two of them kneeled down neatly behind Xu Liangshi and the others.

Seeing that Madam Nie's face changed, Xu Liang's lips trembled: "You...how do you..."

Madam Nie glared at her and gritted her teeth: "Old Xu family, you have done us a disservice."

It's so unlucky that he died before the appointment was made. Although not many people knew about it when the marriage was discussed, some relatives knew about it after all. It turned out to be a good thing, and he committed suicide before the appointment?
I don't know, but I thought what happened to their second child?
When Xu Liang wanted to say something, he heard the exclamation sound, and suddenly, the entire lobby was silent.

Chu Qing looked down at the hall: "Mr. Xu Liang, I want to ask you, who do you want to sue?"

Xu Liang gritted his teeth, always feeling that things might change, "The woman... sued Zheng Liupinsi Cheng... Zheng Rongman, Mr. Zheng, he, he..." Xu Liang shivered, and said a few words He can't even finish the following words.

Chu Qingdao: "This officer will help you finish the sentence... You have to sue Zheng Liupin Temple Prime Minister Zheng for breaking the contract and breaking promises, forcing people to commit suicide. You don't deserve to be an official!"

Xu Liang bit the bullet and nodded: "Yes..."

"Before that, I'm afraid I want to remind you that if you slander the court officials casually, you will be imprisoned for the light ones and exiled for the serious ones. You can think clearly." Chu Qing wanted to give the other party one last chance, Xu Liang's face turned pale , but lucky enough to think that adults may not know, even if they know, if they make a fuss, someone will believe it.At worst, let's say that Lord Yu is also in the same boat as Lord Zheng and slanders them.

"My lord, the women know that what the women say is true." Xu Liang gritted his teeth and said.

"In that case, I'm going to ask. Since you want to sue Mr. Zheng for breaching the contract and forcing him to commit suicide, but as far as I know, Miss Xu committed suicide by herself. It seems that you are discussing It happened a long time after the kiss." Chu Qing asked.
