Brocade clothing

Chapter 42
Surprise flashed across Li Tianxiao's eyes, his thin lips pursed, but he didn't say much: "Yes."

Chu Qing had seen his taciturnity before, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Continued: "Since even Lu Gui has been murdered secretly, let alone Mr. Lu who is not in good health. So, nine times out of ten, the water in the Lu family is very muddy." She secretly turned her head to face Li Tianxiao said that he was seven or eight steps away from the old butler who was leading the way, and he was sure that the other party could not hear him.

Li Tianxiao also looked at the old butler, and found that the other party's footsteps were very steady, at least he was someone who knew martial arts, he didn't know how strong his martial arts were, but at least he had a good foundation.

"Why do you insist on going to the autopsy at night?" Li Tianxiao asked.

"I'm pretending to be a magic stick now. Naturally, I have to look a little more like it, so that I can have an atmosphere at night." What's more, ghosts and ghosts tend to show their original shape at night, so it's better for her to observe secretly.

The old housekeeper took them to the Jade Garden.

"Although this place hasn't been cleaned for a long time, it's a bit old, but it's the closest to the main courtyard, and it's also convenient for Mr. Chu to find the master. If there's something you don't want to live in, the two gentlemen just talk about it." The old housekeeper said.

"It's easy to say, I don't think there's anything to see, it's just going through the motions, Chu has something to do tomorrow, so I'm going to leave." Chu Qing covered her lips and yawned, saying this deliberately, in case the old housekeeper is a murderer , she probably won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"It's not easy for Mr. Chu to help." The old butler spoke tightly and did not mention Mr. Lu's matter at all.

"Well, this Lu Mansion may leave casually?" Chu Qing asked while rubbing his chin.

"The master said, except for the back house, you can do anything else." The old butler blessed himself.

"It's easy to say, I will definitely not go to the backyard, no." Chu Qing watched the old housekeeper leave, then closed the courtyard door, walked to one of the rooms, lit candles, and waited for the light to come on.He quickly opened another room, dragged Li Tianxiao to another room, and lit a candle.

"What are you doing?" Li Tianxiao watched her move with a frown.

"Playing with mystery, so that I don't know if I'm killed at night." Since Li Tianxiao knows martial arts, it's better to make do with him for one night.

"I thought you were not afraid of death." Li Tianxiao sat down at the table calmly.

Chu Qingdao: "How is it possible not to be afraid of death? It's just life and death, and it's not that I can't die if I don't want to die. But I don't want to die until the master's injustice is over." She took off a brocade quilt from the bed, It was spread out on two chairs joined together, and it was planned to nest here temporarily before midnight.

This Young Master Li doesn't seem to be the material for suffering, he definitely doesn't know how to sleep on a stool, and she doesn't want to share the same bed with him, so it's better for her to suffer a little.

Li Tianxiao glanced at the bed, but did not move: "The bed, you sleep."

Chu Qing was surprised: "When did you become so kind?"

Li Tianxiao narrowed his eyes: "..."

Chu Qing quickly changed her words: "Slip of mouth. Mr. Li, you really don't sleep?"

Li Tianxiao said: "Don't sleep, dirty."

Chu Qing silently looked at the dusty bed: "..." This was his main reason, right?When Chu Qing followed the lame Zhang Xue during the autopsy, they slept on the ground casually, and some dust was nothing, just wiped it clean.After she cleaned up calmly, just as the sun was setting, she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

With Li Tianxiao as the bodyguard, there is absolutely no need to worry about being killed.

Li Tianxiao sat straight on the chair. The Lu family's inner room was very small, and the bed was only three or four steps away from the table, so Li Tianxiao could clearly see Chu Qing's sleeping face.He looked at it for a while, and couldn't help raising his hand to touch the place that Chu Qing had held before, his brows were further frowned, but there was a hint of doubt in his deep eyes.

At a quarter to midnight, Chu Qing woke up on time, got out of bed and opened the door. The old butler was already standing there, dressed in a black robe, almost blending into the night.

This Lu family is really evil.

Li Tianxiao followed Chu Qing without saying a word, and went to the mourning hall.

Because Lu Gui didn't believe that Lu Cinian died suddenly, he kept putting him in the coffin and didn't bury him. It was almost May and the weather was getting hotter. When Chu Qing stepped into the mourning hall, he could smell the stench of corpses.She was used to smelling it, but she didn't feel it. She turned her head and clearly saw that Li Tianxiao wanted to hold back, but in the end, he couldn't hold back, and his brows were tightly frowned.Chu Qing had never seen him like this before, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Li Tianxiao glanced at her quietly, squinted his eyes and said, "You are the first one who dares to laugh... mine."

Chu lightly shrugged: "Then there will definitely be a second one. Life is so long and it hasn't come to an end. Who knows what unexpected things will happen in the future."

Li Tianxiao looked at her thoughtfully, and when he saw Lu Gui approaching, he put his mind away and looked over expressionlessly.Lu Gui was taken aback by his eyes. He paused when he was rushing towards Chu Qing, but changed to wailing: "My lord, you are finally here. The old man has everything ready, can we start now?"

Chu Qing nodded and said, "It's time to start."

Lu Gui let go of his heart: "My lord, please please."

After Chu Qing whirled around the coffin for a few times, she took the joss stick and lit it, muttering something, a group of servants and maidservants stood around, Chu Qing just pretended not to see it.Sprinkled the fragrant rice, swept the paper money, and then walked to the coffin jar, and looked at Lu Cinian in the coffin.

This Lu Ci Nian was about 23, five feet three inches in length, thin, pale, with blue brows at the moment, because he stayed for a long time, corpse spots had appeared, it looked a little scary, not to mention the smell of corpses.

She had ginger slices in her mouth in advance, but she was not afraid of corpses. In order to confuse people hiding in the dark, she was just cheating money. , Lu Cinian did not die suddenly, but died of poisoning.

But it is so obvious, judging by the work of the county government, why can't it be verified?

Chu Qing withdrew her hand, took the incense candle and walked around the coffin jar a few times before saying: "Master Lu, your son was indeed murdered by someone."

Lu Gui immediately threw himself on the coffin and cried loudly: "Son, as a father, I know that you were killed by someone. Don't worry, as a father, I will avenge you!" Lu Gui immediately turned his head and hugged Chu Light legs, as if grasping the last straw: "Young Master Chu, you must find the murderer who killed Nian'er..."

Chu Qing said: "Master Lu, aren't you embarrassing Chu? It's the Yamen's business to track down the murderer."

"But the yamen must have colluded with the murderer, Mr. Chu, no matter how much money you spend, as long as you open your mouth, Lu will never say anything." Lu Gui said.

"Actually, if Chu didn't seal the needle, it would count. Besides knowing a little about medical skills, Chu also knows divination. It's a pity that Chu really has urgent matters to deal with, and I really can't afford to delay. Master Lu still invites Gao Ming." Let's go." Chu Qing said, dragging her feet out of Lu Gui's arms, and was about to go out.

Lu Gui roared: "Young Master Chu, are you really unwilling to help?"

Chu Qing said: "It's not that we don't want to help, it's that there are really important things. If this important thing is over, we can consider it."

Lu Guidao: "The old man helped the young master with that matter, and the young master helped the old man find out the murderer."

Chu Qing said: "Master Lu doesn't know what's going on, how can he help? Besides, the matter of Chu is not trivial, and it should not be explained by outsiders."

Seeing that there was room for relaxation, Lu Gui glanced at the butler, and immediately everyone in the lobby was driven away, leaving only Lu Gui, Chu Qing, Li Tianxiao, and the old butler.

Chu lightly shook his head and said, "Chu needs a more secluded place."

Chu Qing doesn't believe that such a huge Lu family really doesn't have a study room, no dark room or anything like that.

"A hidden place?" Lu Gui thought for a while, his eyes lit up: "Young Master Chu, come with me."

Chu Qingxiao followed a few steps, and then looked at the old housekeeper with a smile that was not a smile: "Master Lu trusts the old housekeeper quite a bit, and this dark room does not hide it from the old housekeeper." The subtext is that his trust is his business , but what she wanted to say, she didn't want outsiders to know.Lu Gui didn't understand, but since the old butler was able to manage the huge Lu family, he naturally understood, and he was also a man of insight, so he stepped back after being blessed.

Chu Qing followed Lu Gui into the dark room, which was not so much a dark room, but rather a small hidden Buddhist hall, where they lit the incense burner and enshrined portraits.But the portrait was covered by the veil, Chu Qing didn't see the face clearly, only vaguely knew it was a woman.

"Master Lu is enshrining who?" Chu Qing asked.

"One... nobleman, nobleman, hahaha, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the death of the dog, Mr. Chu can really help this old man find out the murderer?" Lu Gui seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, desperately unwilling to let go , laughing and begging Bai Lai to find out the murderer who dared to kill his Nian'er.

"Naturally. But before that, Chu needs to make a deal with Master Lu. Master Lu probably won't mind." Chu Qing moved forward slowly, first giving Lu Gui hope, but at this critical point, he avoided it. Instead of mentioning Lu Cinian's matter, mention her purpose instead.Next, it depends on how much effort Lu Gui is willing to put into his son.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. As long as Mr. Chu, you can help me find the murderer, it doesn't matter if it's money or status, I'll have nothing to say." Lu Gui patted his chest and promised.

"Master Lu, you can rest assured, Chu doesn't care about money, Chu cares about... her." Chu Qing turned around abruptly, pointing at the portrait enshrined by Lu Gui.

Lu Gui was taken aback by Chu Qing, and he didn't recover for a long time: "This, Mr. Chu, did you make a mistake?" What is his intention?How could it be his nobleman?
"Chu naturally knows what he is talking about. Now that he has said it, Chu will not hide it from Master Lu. This time, Chu was entrusted to find a corpse, and this corpse was 25 years old. Before, it was buried by a noble lady." Chu Qing didn't know the identity of the woman Li Tianxiao was talking about, but she also knew that the other party's status was not low. I'm not afraid that Lu Gui will associate with that lady again.
