Brocade clothing

Chapter 60
The sound of the three of them booing made Li Tianxiao's expression darker and displeased, but facing Chu Qing's quiet profile, he somehow didn't want to get angry and disturb him, so he could only bear it silently.

Yu Kufeng was in the shape of a quail the whole time, afraid that he would say something wrong again and offend the emperor.

Chu Qing felt that it was almost done, and began to really get into the topic: "Since we are going to test the memory of several of you, let's talk about what happened 25 years ago, do the three of you still remember?"

"25 years ago? It's so far away." Aunt You and the three were surprised.

Chu Qing smiled: "Let's see who remembers it first, this..." She took out three ingots of silver and put them on the table one by one, "But the premise can be said, if you want the truth, if you let me know that you lied to me , then I don't agree." Chu Qing's eyes darkened, and the sharp cold light deterred the three of them, and they stopped laughing a little.

"Naturally, the slave family dare not deceive the young master, it's just that it's been too long, and I really can't think clearly."

"Then let's not talk about 25 years ago." This Yancheng is no different from the two small towns we were looking for earlier. Even if something happens here, it will not cause too much trouble. Notice.There are too many people, and there are too many murders that happen every day. They are not particularly special, even if no one really cares about them.

"What do you want to say?" The three were puzzled.

"Tell me about the things that happened from 25 years ago to now that are still fresh in your memory." Chu Qing expanded the scope, and the three of them began to think seriously.

"It's still fresh in my memory! I remember one thing! The massacre of the Ge family 18 years ago!" Aunt You suddenly shouted, very excited!
"The slave family also knows about this and knows about it!" The other two also quickly shouted.

Chu Qing didn't expect to get any good news at first, but when he heard this, his eyebrows moved, and even Li Tianxiao looked at the three of them.

"The tragedy of the Ge family? What should I say?" Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to the three of them again.

"If you say that the Ge family is a good family, when nothing happened more than ten years ago, they were well-known good people in Yancheng. There are more than a dozen shops in Yancheng. It's a pity that overnight, the entire Ge family None of the more than 100 members of the family were spared, they were all killed, and then burned. At that time, it was a murder case that had been rumored for several months after dinner in Yancheng. It is a pity that the murderer was not found in the end. It's not broken." Aunt You said with emotion.

"What, didn't you say that there is still an old housekeeper alive, because he went home to visit his relatives at that time, so he escaped by chance, and was later taken away by the government and interrogated for a long time!"

"I believe this, who saw it? It's been so many years... Who remembers clearly..."

"There are also rumors that there are descendants of the Ge family who are still alive and want to come back for revenge. Do you believe it?"

"..."

The three of them quarreled first, which gave Chu Qing a headache.

She looked at Li Tianxiao, is this the Ge family they are looking for?

If not, it would be difficult to check in the wrong direction; but if it is probably even more difficult to check, if they are all dead, the people who knew where the corpses were hidden back then would probably die too, how to check?
Chu Qing also had a headache. I don't know if the so-called only surviving old housekeeper is true.

"Stop first." Chu Qing interrupted the three people who were arguing: "Where does the Ge family you are talking about live?"

"Ah, son, are you going? It's become an abandoned courtyard. Because too many people died and there was so much resentment, no one dared to live in it. Later, a businessman bought it cheaply. After repairing it, no one dared to buy it. , Later, after someone bought it, they said that the house is haunted, and no one dared to approach it." Aunt Feng secretly said.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Qing learned the exact location from Aunt Feng, and one of them gave another ingot of silver, and let the three of them leave.

After waiting for the three of them to leave happily, Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you were really good at it?" Li Tianxiao narrowed his eyes and said quietly.

"Brother Li, you are joking again. Are you saying that the Ge family that was exterminated is what we are looking for?" The one who exterminated the family is definitely not the one who hid the corpse. After all, if it is true, why did the other two families not exterminate? ?And there is a seven-year difference between 25 years ago and 18 years ago.

"I don't know if it is, let's go and have a look first." Left and right, they couldn't find any other useful clues.

"Well, let's go and see first. If the so-called old housekeeper is really not dead, it's a clue." Chu Qing stood up, planning to leave.

"Killer——killer—" Suddenly, a scream suddenly broke the string and bamboo orchestra of Chunxiang Pavilion, and after a moment of silence, swarms of people clamored as if a pot had exploded.

"Kill?" Chu Qing frowned, and quickly opened the door to go out.

"You go back and let Yu Gufeng go and have a look." Li Tianxiao stopped Chu Qing and turned his head to look at Yu Gufeng.

Yu Kuifeng raised his sword and rushed out.

Chu Qing didn't wait, and followed Li Tianxiao along.

By the time they got outside the wing where the accident happened, they had already surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and they couldn't squeeze in at all.

Chu Qing thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "The corpse is cheated!"

With a "wow", everyone took three steps back!
Chu Qing easily led Li Tianxiao and the stunned Yu Gufeng in.

Everyone reacted and began to accuse Chu Qing one after another: "How can you lie to people? I don't know that people scare people to death..."

However, under Li Tianxiao's gloomy gaze, everyone fell silent for no reason.

This young man looks handsome, but why is he so intimidating?

Chu Qing immediately looked into the room, and saw that it was an antique boudoir, with incense burners placed at the two corners next to the door, and the lingering fragrance wafted up. It smells good.

A lot of tables and chairs were overturned and destroyed. A beautiful woman walked on the ground under the edge of the bed, her clothes were messy, there were palm prints on her face, blood on the corner of her mouth, obvious fingerprints on her neck, trembling all over, and her eyes were dull.She was holding a dagger tightly in both hands, and blood flowed all over her hands. On the ground beside her lay a middle-aged man, his eyes were bulging, and the clothes on his chest were stained red with blood. He had obviously been dead for a long time. .

Chu Qing didn't go over, just stood there and watched.

Almost at the same time, there was the sound of messy footsteps, and then the old bustard I saw earlier rushed in: "Hey, hell, what did you do?"

"Get out of the way! The government handles the case! The idlers avoid it!" Soon a yamen servant came over and drove everyone away. They were isolated, and some gangsters carried boxes on their backs to go in for an autopsy.A head catcher came forward to inquire, but the woman's voice was very low, and she couldn't hear clearly. Afterwards, the bustard brought the woman inside, changed into a set of clothes, and was dragged away by the yamen servants.

Chu Qing heard the people beside him discussing.

"Is this the girl with witty words? She is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity. Why can't she think about killing people?"

"Why can't you think about it? Zhu Yuanwai must have gone crazy again! You don't know that a few days ago, a concubine died in his house!"

"Didn't you say you died by accident?"

"Do you believe it? You haven't seen it. I heard that when it was salvaged from the well, it had no human form. It was obviously beaten to death. I heard that Zhu Yuanwai has violent tendencies and will go crazy from time to time. ...Look at the tables, chairs, and stools, Zhu Yuanwai must have gone crazy again, you didn't see the face and neck of Miaoyu girl, tsk tsk, it's so miserable..."

"Isn't the punchline girl self-defense?"

"I don't know, it depends on how the adults judge? But I can't see, there is someone in Zhu Yuanwai, otherwise, he killed so many concubines in his house, how could he not be arrested until now?"

"..."

The voice of the pilgrims came, and Chu Qing noticed that the old bustard was wiping away tears, wiped his face, and began to greet the guests with a forced smile, and sent all the guests out. Having fun, they all left one after another.

Chu Qing took a last look at Hua Kui's boudoir, and left with Li Tianxiao and the other three.

"Why didn't you rush over to do the autopsy?" Li Tianxiao and Chu Qing were in front, and Yu Gufeng was behind, Li Tianxiao asked Chu Qing.

"Isn't someone from the government here? We're not here for the autopsy this time, but for the hidden corpses." She also saw that Mr. Li obviously did the investigation without telling others. What's more, she is also hiding from people now. With the matter of Master and the fact that she was almost killed before, she has learned to be good and dare not stand out rashly.

"Aren't you afraid of injustice?"

"..." Chu smiled lightly, but said nothing.

"Is there any doubt?"

"This is the matter of the Yancheng government office. Let's go to the old site of Ge's house tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the three of them went to the old address of Ge's house that Aunt Feng had mentioned.

The old site has been refurbished, and it looks very new, but the vermilion gate is covered with a layer of dust, the gate is locked and rusted, obviously no one has lived in it for a long time.

However, if you look closely, you can still see traces of smoky gray on the corners of the outer wall, which have been preserved even after so many years.

"Sirs, do you want to inspect the house?" A peddler next to the old house saw Chu Qing and others standing outside the old house for a long time, and asked.

Chu Qing guessed that this is probably what the owner of the old house has specially ordered. Those who come to see the house should come to inquire about it, and then inform them. It can be seen that this old house is indeed not easy to sell, and no one will accept it.

"I want to see the house, can you take us in to have a look?" Chu Qingzheng couldn't find a suitable reason to go in, and it just so happened that the small businessman gave a reason.

"Okay, ok, ah, my son has good eyesight. This house is big and spacious, and it's cheap. It's definitely not a loss. I have the key here, so I'm going to open the house for the three gentlemen." The small peddler was afraid that the three would leave. , hurried back to his small shop, took out a bunch of keys, and hurried to open the door.

Chu lightly pursed her lips for a laugh, and continued with what he boasted earlier, "Unfortunately, it's haunted, it's a haunted house."

Li Tianxiao said: "Do you really believe in ghosts?"

Chu Qing naturally didn't believe it, but wanted to tease him: "Believe it, why don't you believe it, after all, more than 100 people have died, once the resentment accumulates, and this house is so big, when the wind blows at night, there may be white shadows floating around Go for your life."

Yu Kuifeng's body froze, Jun's face turned pale: "Isn't it?"

Li Tianxiao raised his eyebrows, he didn't believe Chu Qing's words at all, there was no fear in her eyes.

Chu Qing showed her small white teeth: "Of course it's fake."

Yu Kuifeng: "..."
