Brocade clothing

Chapter 64

Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao came out from the gambling house, Li Tianxiao asked Chu Qing: "Do you think Cao Jiuye's words are credible?"

Chu Qingdao: "Five points believable." She felt that this Cao Jiuye must have concealed something, and he didn't tell her completely. Zhu Yuanwai was probably involved, but he was not an important person, but such a person, Already dead, how to proceed?
"Do you want to investigate? He is already dead, how should we investigate?" Li Tianxiao asked.

Chu Qing also had a headache: "...I don't know, go back to Steward Ge and see if he knows this Zhu Yuanwai." Since there is something involved, it should be an acquaintance, otherwise, a stranger, no matter what It won't be suddenly involved in the extermination case of more than 100 people.

Butler Ge broke the courtyard.

Yu Zufeng was pressing Ge Shitou to weave the frame, and if he was slower, he would be whipped a few times by Yu Zufeng with a small whip, and Ge Shitou would howl and weave quickly, and if he made a mistake, he would be beaten again.This Ge Shitou is the gangster who robbed them earlier, that is, Steward Ge's son. At first, Steward Ge took a few days off to visit the countryside because of the boy's illness. Avoiding his enemies, he hid in such a place with anonymity, and thought that one day he could avenge the master, but he neglected to discipline Ge Shitou. When he came to his senses, Ge Shitou had already grown crooked.

Seeing Chu Qing and Chu Qing, Steward Ge's chaotic eyes lit up: "You two young masters, what did you find out?"

"Let's go in and talk."

Steward Ge glanced at his troubled son, nodded, and led Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao into the room. After reaching the only tile-roofed house that was considered a room, he hurriedly said, "Young Master Chu?"

"I found some clues. I don't know if Butler Ge knows about Zhu Yuanwai from the Zhu family at the end of the east street?"

"Zhu Dachang?" Steward Ge was startled.

"His real name is this?"

"No, no, it's called Zhu Chang. It's just because he was a butcher more than ten years ago, specializing in selling meat and some pig offal, so over time, he was called Zhu Dachang. It's also a homophony of Chang." Steward Ge still treated this person Impressive: "When nothing happened in the mansion, there were several restaurants in Yancheng. Zhu Dachang often delivered meat to the restaurants, and I helped the master manage these shops, so I got to know each other over time, but I'm not familiar with them. What's the matter?" Steward Ge asked.

Chu Qing frowned and said: "We went to the gambling house today and asked Master Cao Jiu. He only told us that the family extermination case 18 years ago was related to Zhu Yuanwai, that is, the Zhu Chang you mentioned, butler."

"What?! Master's death has something to do with him! This murderer!" Steward Ge was so angry that he stood up, trembling with anger.

"Housekeeper, please calm down, this matter is still uncertain, but he knows some inside information..." Chu Qing said.

Steward Ge slowly calmed down: "Since that's the case, the young master is going to find Zhu Dachang...Zhu Chang to inquire?"

Chu lightly shook his head and said, "I can't find out."

"what happened?"

"Zhu Chang is dead." Chu Qing paused, and added: "Two days ago, he died in the Chunxiang Pavilion. Now the body is still in the government office, and there is no way to touch it." If it is true that this matter is related to Zhu Chang, It is estimated that Zhu Chang would not tell others about such a big matter. Now that Zhu Chang is dead, isn't this line broken?The line Cao Jiuye told him was equivalent to not having it.

Butler Ge obviously didn't expect this to happen, and he squatted on the chair weakly: "Dead? How could he die? Then the enmity of the master's family can no longer be found out?"

Chu Qing shook her head and said, "Not necessarily." Before the end of the matter, Chu Qing didn't like to draw conclusions prematurely. What's more, after hearing that Zhu Dachang was a butcher more than ten years ago, Chu Qing felt that this matter had something to do with Zhu Chang Can't get rid of the relationship.In the country she lived in, no one could be a butcher, either they were poor or extremely vicious, and they could only become a butcher if they couldn't make it through.Because butchers are related to killing, the ancients were afraid that too much killing would shorten their lives and harm their virtues, so under normal circumstances, they would never become butchers.

So Zhu Yuanwai should be classified as poor and destitute, but such a person is now a well-known member of Yancheng, and this is not something that can be done with just money.

When he came out of Steward Ge's house, Yu Kuifeng was still unsatisfied: "Master, from now on, I will leave all the training to my subordinates, and my subordinates promise to complete the task satisfactorily."

Li Tianxiao glanced at him, hummed expressionlessly, and then turned to the young man who frowned in thought: "Troublesome?"

Chu sighed softly: "Yes, I was thinking, why did Miss Miaoyu kill Zhu Yuanwai?"

"Kill?" Li Tianxiao caught the word: "Isn't it self-defense?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "No."

"How do you know?"

"Some of the smashed things in the room were deliberately smashed after Zhu Yuanwai's death." Chu Qing said: "I took a rough look earlier, and the blood of Zhu Yuanwai was absolutely far away. Where the splashing could not reach, there was blood, and it stuck to the fragments. Then, there is only one possibility, that is, after Zhu Yuanwai died, the blood was splashed, but it was not found. After that, The thing is being smashed, because the movement is too large, so it was thrown elsewhere. I have seen it, one knife is fatal, unless he can get up after he is dead, and fight for another [-] rounds to smash the thing. " Chu Qingchou.

"Why didn't you say it then?" Li Tianxiao asked.

"Not to mention, there are two reasons: first, Zhu Yuanwai is a scumbag, it is a pity to die; second, we don't want to be too conspicuous, we are here to search for hidden corpses, not to solve the case."

"How do you know that Zhu Yuanwai is a scumbag?"

"Didn't you hear what Aunt You said? A concubine died in his mansion a few days ago. She was beaten beyond recognition before she died. Either she was forced to jump into the well because she couldn't survive; or she was killed by Zhu Yuan. The expatriate beat him up and threw him in. Anyway, no matter what kind he is, he is a scum." Chu Qing frowned, absolutely hating this kind of woman beating man!

Li Tianxiao looked at her angry face, and raised the corner of his mouth: "From this point of view, he is indeed a scum, and it would not be a pity to die."

Chu Qing looked at Li Tianxiao as if discovering a new continent: "Brother Li, this is the first time I see you smiling."

Li Tianxiao's expression froze, and he turned his head, but the tips of his ears hidden under the bun were slightly red, but it was not obvious, and he quickly hid it with a low cough, and continued to ask: "What do you plan to do next?" How to do it? Do you need me to find a way to get you into the government office?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "No need, I'm going to start with Miaoyu."

Li Tianxiao said: "Huh?"

"Since Qiaoyu killed him on purpose, there must be a reason to kill him first, and find this reason first."

"What if she is just cruel because she thinks this pilgrim is difficult to serve?"

"Impossible. Aunt You said that this witty word has been in Chunxiang Pavilion since she was a child. She must be used to the pickling in the brothel. This Zhu Yuanwai is considered a gangster, but if it is a woman with a warm fragrance and nephrite jade, How could he be treated roughly like a flower of Jieyu?" This witticism can be the oiran of Chunxiang Pavilion for four years, so there must be something extraordinary, either talent or understanding of a man's mind, no matter what it is It's impossible to make men hate it.Therefore, it is impossible for such a woman who is held in the hands of others to kill someone for such a reason. Then, it must be the reason why Zhu Yuanwai had to be killed. There are more bad things about Zhu Yuanwai, if there is something that can be related to the incident 18 years ago, everything will be fine.

But when Chu Qing thought about it, she always felt that she seemed to have overlooked one thing, but she couldn't think of it now.

Li Tianxiao listened to Chu Qing's logical analysis of women, his handsome face turned cold again: "You know women very well?"

Chu Qing said "ah": "It's hard to understand, but I can guess a little bit about a woman's mind..." Is she a woman herself?But meeting Li Tianxiao's suspicious gaze, coughed lowly, and added: "In this way, after marrying a wife, I can coax my own wife, right?"

Li Tianxiao: "..." The fire in his heart suddenly burned a little bit more, and it made his whole body go wrong. He quickened his pace and walked towards the inn at high speed.

"Master?" Yu Gufeng always felt that Master was in a bad mood again, so he hurried to chase after him.

Chu Qing touched the back of her head: Did she say something wrong again?No, she is now dressed as a man, so she should marry a wife, should she still marry a man?It is estimated that Mr. Li can be frightened.

Early the next morning, Chu Qing opened the door refreshed, and saw Li Tianxiao standing in front of the railing with his back to her. Hearing the movement, he turned his head, and a complicated light flashed in his dark pupils: "Get up!" So early, where are you going?"

"Ah?" Chu Qing was stunned. He waited here early in the morning just to ask her where she was going?
"Are you going to the Chunxiang Pavilion?" Li Tianxiao pressed his thin lips tightly and asked.

"What are you going there for?" Chu Qing was puzzled, and walked around him, intending to fill her stomach first.

"Didn't you say you were going to investigate that oiran's witticism last night?" Since you were going to investigate, you would naturally go to the Chunxiang Pavilion.

"You think too much, that witty saying is still locked up in the prison of the government office, even if I want to go, I will go to the government office and not to the Chunxiang Pavilion." Chu Qing explained in a rare good mood: "Oh yes, Yu Where is the son?"

Li Tianxiao's expression changed a little bit, and when he heard this, he said, "Why are you asking him?"

Chu Qing said: "Tell him to buy a few shovels and the like."

"Huh?" Li Tianxiao was puzzled. Just as Yu Kufeng opened the door, seeing Li Tianxiao woke up so early, he hurried forward and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, Mr. Chu asked you to buy some shovels later."

Yu Gufeng breathed a sigh of relief, and was as puzzled as Li Tianxiao: "Young Master Chu, why are you buying a shovel?"
