Brocade clothing

Chapter 40 Sudden death
Xiao Er quickly shook his head and said: "This, this is not allowed, this is against the rules."

"There's nothing that doesn't conform to the rules. We're new here, and we don't know much about the rules of Yuxiang Township. If we mess up something or someone, we won't be in a good mood." Chu Qing said, facing Yu Gu Feng looked over and raised his chin.Although Yu Kuifeng was unwilling, he still took out a small piece of broken silver and stuffed it directly into Chu Qing's hand. Chu Qing took it, but Li Tianxiao, who saw this scene clearly, looked at Yu Zuo before. Feng held Chu Qing's hand, frowned, and felt an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling in his heart, which even he himself didn't understand why.

Chu Qing slapped the broken silver on the table, and smiled meaningfully at Xiaoer.Xiao Er has never seen such a big handwriting before, seeing that this is more than one or two, he immediately swallowed his saliva, looked around, saw that no one noticed this at the moment, and quickly said: "You don't have to worry, sir. Yuxiang Township is very simple and honest, so it won't be said that it offends anyone. However, these few days, the masters still avoid people from the Lu family, just don't offend the Lu family."

"The Lu family?" Chu Qing personally poured Xiaoer a glass of wine, "I don't know what the Lu family said?"

"The matter has to start three days ago. The only seedling of the Lu family, Mr. Lu, died suddenly three days ago. Mr. Lu was furious. He insisted on saying that he was killed, but the clerk in the yamen found out that he died suddenly. Therefore, Mr. Lu was so angry that his nerves were a little abnormal, and he took people to the street every day to arrest suspicious people, saying that he was the murderer of his son." Xiao Er whispered.

"Arrest people casually? Does the Yamen not care?" Chu Qing asked.

"How dare you." Xiaoer's voice became lower and lower, and he said secretly: "This Lu family is the richest man in Yuxiang Town, and nearly one-third of the shops in this Yuxiang Town are owned by Lu's family. What's more, I heard that the Lu family With the help of noble people, it is beyond words, this Lu family has been rampant in this fishing town for so many years, who would dare to provoke it."

"Noble man?" Chu Qing grasped the key point and said, "I wonder who this noble man is?"

"How do you know, the Lu family used to be a shabby household, but since more than 20 years ago, with the help of the nobles, the Lu family has made a fuss. It is unstoppable. Even the county master dare not provoke the Lu family. This time the Lu family is out. No one dares to discuss such a big matter. If it weren't for the young masters who are newcomers and afraid of offending the Lu family, this would be..." Xiaoer rubbed his hands and stared at the broken silver.

Chu Qing smiled, and pushed the broken silver towards Xiaoer: "Your brother has been delayed for so long, buy some wine to moisten your throat."

Xiao Er hurriedly held the broken silver in his palm, nodded and bowed repeatedly, "Masters, use it first, and you can tell me if you have anything to do!"

When Xiaoer left, Chu Qing looked at Yu Gufeng: "How many people did Mr. Yu bring here?"

Yu Gufeng glanced at her, "Four, what?"

Chu Qingdao: "Send someone to investigate the Lu family and find out when the Lu family made their fortune. It shouldn't be difficult to find out." After all, the Lu family is so famous now, people are afraid of being famous, let alone being strong. When they made their fortune, the few members of the family can probably be found out by inquiries.

Yu Gufeng looked at Li Tianxiao, who nodded, and Yu Gufeng went out immediately.

Li Tianxiao looked at Chu Qing: "Do you suspect that this nobleman from the Lu family is the one I mentioned?"

Chu Qing shrugged: "I'm not sure, I'll check first. If it happened to be 25 years ago, then it's probably close to ten." As long as it is confirmed that it is related to the Lu family, then you can find all the places where the corpses are hidden step by step. .Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, opened her stomach and began to eat.

Li Tianxiao looked at her thoughtfully: "But if it's just that the person is only relying on the Lu family, the Lu family didn't intervene?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "Even if they didn't intervene, the Lu family still knows something inside. Since the deceased is your father, the person who killed her must also live in the capital, right?"

Li Tianxiao hummed.

Chu Qingdao: "It's so far away from the capital, and it's not easy for us to find it. People who are not familiar with the place, if she wants to find a specific location, she must rely on the people here, but she would not choose the rich people back then, because The mouth may not be strict enough, so it is easy to bribe only this kind of shabby household, greedy for petty gains, so even if you don't know where the corpse is hidden, someone from the Lu family once led the way." As long as you grasp this point, there is a breakthrough, are you still afraid? Can't find the key point?
Li Tianxiao's eyes flashed brightly, he nodded seriously, and said appreciatively, "You're right."

Yu Kuifeng happened to hear this scene when he came back, and looked at Chu Qing in surprise: What kind of magical power does this little brother Chu have? This is a rare compliment from the emperor.

Yu Kuifeng sat back on his seat again, and said, "Someone has already asked someone to inquire, and I believe the results will come out soon. What are we going to do next?"

Chu Qing pointed to the dozen or so dishes in front of him: "Eat."

Yu Kuifeng: "..."

After they finished the meal, the result has already been passed on: It is confirmed that the Lu family did have the capital suddenly 25 years ago, and then made the family business so big, but it is a pity that although Lu Gui There are four wives and concubines, but only the eldest lady gave birth to a single seedling. However, Mr. Lu has been sick since he was a child, and his health is not good. He just married a woman a few years ago. It was a sudden death.

Yu Kuifeng told Chu Qing the result, and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Chu Qing stood up: "Go to Lu's house."

"What are you doing at Lu's house?" Yu Gufeng was very surprised.

"Of course I went to Lu's house to solve the case." Chu Qing said.

"You suspect that Mr. Lu did not die suddenly?" But she has never met Mr. Lu before, so how does she know?

"I don't know, I won't know until it's over." Chu Qing said.

"If you go there like this, if Mr. Lu really died suddenly, wouldn't it be just for Lu Gui to arrest you when you go over?" , or endured it.

"Even if it's not, it doesn't affect me getting the answer I want." Since Mr. Lu's death can make Master Lu almost nervous, it is enough to imagine how important this Mr. Lu is to Lu Gui. As long as you grasp this point, it will not be difficult for Lu Gui Open your mouth, as long as Lu Gui opens your mouth, it will be considered an opening for them to find the corpse.

But before that, they still need to dress up.

After Chu Qing had her meal, she went back to the upper room on the second floor.Chu Qing, Li Tianxiao, and Yu Zhufeng sat at the same table, Chu Qing said: "Too many people go to the Lu's house, you two, who will accompany me to Lu's house?"

Yu Kuifeng said: "Of course I'm going. I don't know if it's dangerous to go to Lu's house this time. How can I let you go?"

Li Tianxiao glanced at him, "I'll go."

"But..." Yu Gufeng immediately wanted to object, but he met Li Tianxiao's deep pupils and lowered his head: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Chu Qing was surprised at how obedient Young Master Yu was, but she was only surprised for a while, and didn't guess too much about their identities. The more she knew, the less good it would be for her.

"Since you have made up your mind, please trouble Mr. Yu to find two pieces of men's clothes of medium size, and buy them according to the size of Mr. Li and me." Chu Qing said.

"Why should it be medium, can't it go like this?" Yu Kufeng asked puzzled.

"...Mr. Yu, which one have you seen wearing silk and satin? A set of clothes cost a hundred taels of silver?" Although she didn't understand, what Mr. Li was wearing looked inconspicuous, but it was ice cicada silk. It's fine if the Lu family doesn't know the goods, and those who know the goods will recognize them directly.If it reaches the ears of the person whom they are afraid to let know, all that she has done will be in vain again.She doesn't want to do any more useless work.

Li Tianxiao heard the deep meaning in Chu Qing's words, and glanced at Yu Zufeng.Yu Zufeng opened his mouth to persuade him with words, but finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.Just as Yu Gufeng was about to leave, Chu Qing stopped him again and gave some instructions in a low voice.Surprise flashed across Yu Kuifeng's eyes, he glanced at Li Tianxiao, nodded silently and left.

Half an hour later, the Xianghe Teahouse outside Lu's house.

Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao sat on the second floor, looking at the vermilion gate of the Lu family from afar.

Li Tianxiao asked, "Why don't you go in now?"

Chu lightly shook his head and said, "Not yet."

"Before Yu Gufeng left, what did you tell him?" Li Tianxiao sipped his tea lazily, his expression indifferent, but rarely full of curiosity about what she was about to do.It's like for this person, starting from Qingshui Town, his eyes seem to fall too much on him, wondering what else surprises him.

"It's nothing, just let him blackmail Lu Gui once." Chu Qing said slowly.

"Huh? The reason." Li Tianxiao stopped drinking tea.

"Of course I need to let Lu Gui notice me, otherwise, if I say I can solve the case, he will definitely believe it?" Even if he believed it, he must have some reservations, and she wanted Lu Gui to beg her to help him solve the case, so that they would take the initiative, Lu Gui Only by being passive can she control the situation.

Li Tianxiao looked at him thoughtfully, not in a hurry, waiting to see what he would do next.

Not long after Chu Qing waited, the door of Lu's house opened, and the leader of the middle-aged man rushed out with a dozen thugs with a fierce look on his face. According to the people who had contact with his son that day, he would have to tie him up. Come over and inquire to see if they have harmed their son.

The pain of losing his son made Lu Gui's nerves go a little crazy, and when he saw someone looking towards Lu's mansion, he waved his hands: "Catch him, old man!"

The man just glanced curiously as he passed by, struggling and screaming: "What are you arresting me for?! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill someone!" Lu Gui's actions in the past few days have made everyone in Yuxiang Town feel like a war.

"It didn't hurt my son, why did you see the old man trembling and frightened, with a guilty conscience?" Lu Gui stared angrily.

At this time, a carriage passed by, and the man struggled to get away, and rushed towards the carriage.

The horse was startled, and the young master in the carriage rolled over and fell straight out, his eyes were closed, his face was blue, and he looked as if he had passed away.
