Brocade clothing

Chapter 62 Clue Interruption
Chu Qing slapped him on the back of the head, making him stagger, and wanted to get angry, but looking at Chu Qing and the other three, he forcibly endured it: "Young master, how can you hit someone so easily?"

"It's you who beat you, and you should be beaten until you can't take care of yourself, so you won't be in trouble!" Chu Qing ignored the man, and walked directly into the abandoned yard.

Walking in, I saw a lot of rattan baskets placed in the yard, almost burying the old man in the corner who was hunched over and buried in weaving rattan baskets. His back was arched all the year round, and his back was raised in a high arc. With white hair and bruises on his wrinkled hands, Chu Qing walked over and stood still in front of him.The old man's movements only paused, and he continued to weave the rattan basket: "Are you here to ask for a debt? How much money does he owe?"

Chu Qing said: "Does he often owe people money like this?" Then he was asked to ask such a 80-[-]-year-old old man to pay it back?

The old man didn't speak, he didn't know whether he had been disappointed for too long or something else, he just continued to weave the rattan basket mechanically.

"Father, just talk and let them let me go, I really don't owe any money this time..." Seeing the old man, the man tremblingly begged as if he had found a backbone.

Chu Qing thought he was noisy, so he pushed back directly: "Young Master Yu, please take him out and beat him up."

Yu Kuifeng had never seen such a sad scene before, his hands were already itchy, and he ignored the man's begging, and dragged him out. Not long after, there was the sound of violent beating.

The old man just paused, and continued to weave baskets numbly.

"Master, do you think this is yours?" Chu Qing handed over the dagger.

When the old man saw the dagger, his expression finally changed. He raised his head, and there was a vigilant light in his chaotic eyes: "Why are you asking this? It's mine! It was stolen by that naughty son!" He snatched the dagger, stuffed it under the chair, and continued weaving rattan baskets.

"Master, your previous master's surname was Ge." Chu Qing asked.

The old man was shocked, and suddenly stood up, took the dagger, and walked into the room: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Chu Qing said behind him: "Master, you are the butler of the Ge family who was exterminated 18 years ago, right?"

The old man's steps were chaotic, but he walked even faster.

Chu Qing continued: "Could it be... don't you want to know who destroyed the Ge family back then?"

Chu Qing's words made the old man stop suddenly, he turned around suddenly, his movements were too large, and he almost threw himself flying: "You, you, you, do you know something?"

Chu Qing's eyes fell on the excited eyes of the old man, and it was basically certain that the old man should really be the only surviving butler of the Ge family back then.

The old man gave Chu Qing and the others to the only stone chair in the yard, and poured tea, with an excited expression on his face, or a glimmer of hope: "My lord, do you know something?"

Chu Qing said: "I don't know yet, but if necessary, I can help you find out, sir."

"Huh?" The old man froze for a while.

"Of course, as a condition, I hope you will tell me one thing, sir." Chu Qing went straight to the point. For the old man, honesty may be the most important way to open the old man's heart now.

"What do you want to know, young master?" The old man was startled.

"An old incident 25 years ago." Chu Qing deliberately emphasized the time point of "25 years".

The old man was startled at first, but then he didn't know what to think, his expression changed: "You, what are you... You are the person sent by that nobleman?!"

Chu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he found the right one this time, and continued: "Master, just tell me, do you know where 'that thing' is hidden?" Will not hide it from him.

The old man's hands on the stone table trembled, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "...I know."

"Then can you tell me?" Chu Qing said.

The old man didn't speak, but stared straight at Chu Qing: "Sir, can you really help me find out who destroyed the Ge family?"

Chu Qing said: "I will try my best."

The old man said: "Well, as long as the young master finds the murderer, I will tell you where the things are hidden."

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said: "Okay." This was what she had planned in the first place. It might be very difficult to get something out of the old housekeeper's mouth, but if there is something to exchange, there is still room for change.Chu Qing glanced at the little gangster who was squatting in the corner, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen by Yu Zufeng: "Master, do you mind if I take him away for a few days?"

The old man's eyes were blank: "What are you going to do, young master?" Compared with the excitement before, the old man is much calmer now.

Chu Qing said: "It's nothing, my hands are itchy, I'll give you a good training." This kind of waste is a waste of food.

The old man waved his hand: "It's up to you, as long as you can help me find the murderer, let me die, and I am worthy of my wife, whatever."

"Father! Father—you can't leave me alone! I'm your own son!" The man was terrified when he heard that, but was knocked unconscious by Yu Kuifeng with a knife in his hand. Well, this trashy snack just happened to be used as a sandbag for him to practice.

Inn.

Li Tianxiao asked, "How do you want to check?"

Chu Qing shook his head: "I don't have any clue yet." If you want to know the murderer who killed the Ge family 18 years ago, then you must at least know the reason first.

It can be said that the Ge family was a well-known benevolent person in Yancheng back then. How can such a family have such a deep hatred?So much so that the whole family was wiped out.

But Chu Qing felt that Cao Jiuye must know something.

The local snake in Yancheng wants to kill more than a hundred people in a row without causing any disturbance, unless the killer hired by the other party is a veteran and a gangster, it is inevitable that he will be involved with the gambling house.

Gamblers and Desperadoes...

But trying to pry Cao Jiuye's mouth open is as difficult as climbing the sky.

Seeing Chu Qing frowning in thought, Li Tianxiao felt an urge to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows. He pinched the cup with his fingers and exerted more strength to endure it.It's just that as he gradually increased his strength, he didn't realize that the cup in his hand was already in danger.However, Li Tianxiao's attention was not on the cup, but on Chu Qing's body. After Yu Zufeng taught the housekeeper's cheap son a lesson, he came back and saw the cracked cup, so he rushed to it: "Mr. ! Lord! Let go, if you hold it again, it will be broken, broken!"

Li Tianxiao was startled by Yu Gufeng's actions, so he woke up, turned his eyes away, and stared at Yu Gufeng: "What are you doing?"

Yu Kuifeng just snatched the cup from Li Tianxiao's hand, and as soon as he opened it, the cup shattered into shards in his palm: "Master, why didn't you notice that you were looking at Mr. Chu in a daze until he was about to get hurt? The auspicious time when I come back..."

The speaker didn't care about the listener, Li Tianxiao stood up abruptly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Kufeng was stunned: "Master?" What's wrong?Did he say something wrong?He went through what he said just now, and found that there was nothing inappropriate, why is it just nonsense?
Li Tianxiao turned his head and found that Chu Qing was also looking at him strangely. He quickly turned his gaze away and walked out quickly: "I'm going back to my room first, and I'll go to the casino tomorrow to find clues." Waiting for Li Tianxiao to reach the door , turned around and saw Yu Gufeng still staying in Chu Qing's room, frowned and said, "It's so late, why don't you come out?"

Yu Gufeng got up quickly: "Ah, it's the master."

Chu Qing looked at the two people strangely, and left again in a hurry. She didn't take it seriously, and ran through these clues in her mind again, Steward Ge, the little gangster, Cao Jiuye...all of them were in the end. Focused on the Miemen massacre 18 years ago.

Chu Qing couldn't figure it out, so she threw herself on the bed, looked at the tassels on the top of the bed, and unconsciously fell asleep.

At the same time, in the next room, Yu Gufeng was puzzled why the emperor was angry, and followed Li Tianxiao into his room uneasy, but when he closed the door and looked back, he found that the emperor was sitting at the table, looking at a place, The black eyes were empty, I don't know what I was thinking, and I was in a daze.Yu Zhufeng had never seen Li Tianxiao like this before, and even when he walked in front of Yu Zhufeng, Li Tianxiao didn't recover, and Yu Zhufeng called out very softly: "Master?"

Li Tianxiao came back to his senses and glanced at him: "It's so late, why don't you go to rest?"

Yu Kuifeng asked: "Master, do you have something on your mind? Something happened to the court?" But he didn't see Lang Feng write a letter to his master to report back?
Li Tianxiao didn't speak, but raised his eyes slightly, looking at Yu Gufeng who was standing in front of him, his gaze was right, staring straight at Yu Gufeng, making Yu Chufeng's heart flutter: "Master, master?"

Li Tianxiao stared at it for a while, and found that there was no strange emotion at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Go out, I'm going to rest."

Yu Gufeng didn't dare to stay any longer, and left quickly.

Li Tianxiao couldn't fall asleep anyway, what happened to him?
The next day, Chu Qing woke up refreshed, and the three of them went to the casino again.

Entering the casino, Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao walked to the gaming table where Cao Jiuye was standing, squeezed to the front row, Chu Qing took out a silver ticket, and pressed it on the "little".Those who were close, took a deep breath when they saw the value, 1000 taels of silver.

Cao Jiuye saw that everyone was looking at Chu Qing, but he just raised his eyelids and didn't speak, only the palm with one finger was missing, but it moved half an inch to the side.

Chu Qing pressed 1000 taels, and the others also pressed "small", and even pressed "big", and quickly changed them, and then they all yelled: "Open! Open!"

Cao Jiuye opened the dice Gu expressionlessly, and it turned out to be "little".

"Okay! I won! I won!" In the casino, the cheers from this table were particularly conspicuous, so some gamblers came to ask, and when they asked about the situation, they all turned red-eyed!Immediately, most of the people in the gambling house gathered around, and some who still remembered Chu Qing shouted: "Isn't this the little brother who won a few thousand taels last time? It's absolutely right to follow him!" "

The gamblers at the other gaming tables stopped gambling, and they all gathered in front of Cao Jiuye's gaming table, three floors inside and three floors outside, and those who couldn't see moved the tables and chairs to the battle, poking their necks look in.
