Chapter 74 The Butcher Jia Ren
"It seems that Steward Ge didn't lie to us this time. Following these addresses, we may be able to find all the corpses soon." Chu Qing thought for a while, and couldn't help but remind Li Tianxiao: "Brother Li, wait for this matter." Now, what you promised me, can you start to fulfill it?"

However, Li Tianxiao's attention was not on Chu Qing's words. His eyes were attracted by Chu Qing's movement of wiping his hands. Inexplicably bad.Chu Qing heard that he had been silent for a while, so she couldn't help but ask again, Li Tianxiao finally came back to his senses, and said, "Promise you?"

Chu Qing thought he had forgotten, and frowned and said, "Brother Li, are you planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" She had already helped him find most of the bones, and the rest of the bones had already been seen. She had tried her best, but her master Doesn't he plan to take care of the matter?If Chu Qing hadn't been in such a hurry, she would have found that Li Tianxiao just didn't listen carefully, so she asked casually.As a result, Chu Qing's words also annoyed Li Tianxiao, and his expression turned cold: "I am in your heart, is it such a villain who doesn't keep his promise?"

Chu Qing heard what he said so seriously, and knew that she had said something wrong, but although she was calm, she was always thinking about Master's death, and finally waited until Li Tianxiao's matter was almost resolved, so she wanted to act quickly Go and investigate the matter of Master's death so that Master can be cleared of suspicion.She also felt that she was too anxious and wanted to apologize, but just as she started, Li Tianxiao had already stood up, flicked his sleeves, and left just like that, leaving only one sentence: "What I say always counts. talk."

Chu Qing was confused, and asked Yu Gufeng who was also confused: "Brother Li, what's wrong? You are so angry today?"

It stands to reason that he found the corpse, shouldn't he be very happy?Why did she feel that Li Tianxiao's temper was becoming more and more unpredictable?

Yu Kufeng rubbed his head. In fact, he didn't understand. In other words, my master's mood has not been very good these few days: "This... probably because I thought of Madam's death, so I feel sad." Li Tianxiao thought over and over again, There is only one reason, but the imperial concubine and empress have passed away for so many years, and the master has known it for a long time, so why are you suddenly in a bad mood right now?It's so strange.

Chu Qing didn't doubt it much, and it made sense after thinking about it, so Yu Zufeng was relieved.But what she didn't expect was that Li Tianxiao actually started to fight her coldly. When she was looking for Jia Wenqing, she asked Yu Kufeng twice, but Li Tianxiao avoided him. , but turning around from time to time and occasionally catching Li Tianxiao's gaze, I felt even more strange. Thinking about whether Li Tianxiao was in a bad mood, I didn't think his reactions were abnormal.

Jia Wenqing was a well-known barrister in Yancheng ten years ago, but because he was framed by someone, he won a lawsuit for a villain, resulting in the death of a good guy, so he retired in a rage.With Cao Jiuye around, and Yu Gufeng's own influence, it was not difficult to find Jia Wenqing, but when Chu Qing knew Jia Wenqing's whereabouts at the moment, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Young Master Yu, are you sure you're not joking?"

Yu Gufeng said, "Are you kidding me? Then Jia Wenqing is quite a miracle, but under pressure, he gave up writing and went to martial arts..."

The "martial arts" that Yu Kui talked about is not martial arts martial arts, but...

Chu Qing and the others stood at the entrance of the alley, looking not far away in disbelief. The muscular, naked-chested brawny man wielding a machete was exactly the same as the gentle and smooth-talking man described by his master. Jia Wenqing, a frail scholar, was completely different. Chu Qing felt her scalp tingling. Seeing Jia Wenqing, who had become a butcher, now changed his name to Jia Ren, chopping meat for others with a crisp and neat action, she fell silent.

Although it is said that it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes when an official does not make decisions for the people, but he is not going to become a butcher in a fit of anger, right?

"Young Master Chu, what should we do now?" Yu Zufeng was at a loss, how could he tell a butcher, you help me fight another lawsuit?He wondered if Jia Butcher still remembered those official things?Whether he can win or not is an open question. Thinking about the fact that the delicate little oiran may not be able to clear up the suspicion, he doesn't know what to say.

Chu Qing thought for a while, and walked forward alone. When she reached the meat stall, Butcher Jia didn't raise her head: "How much?"

Chu Qingdao: "One catty of thin and weak is one catty of fat, thin and weak don't need a little fat, fat and fat don't need a little lean meat, a catty is a catty, I don't want a tael more."

Not far away, Yu Gufeng and Li Tianxiao overheard: "..." Why can't Mr. Chu think about it so much?Is this to find fault or to ask for help?

Unexpectedly, Butcher Jia was so calm, he just glanced at Chu Qing, and his hands didn't listen to his movements, so he wrapped everything she wanted in lotus leaves and piled it up in front of her: "Sixty arts."

Chu Qing shook her head and said, "No hurry. Cut another two catties of thigh bones for me, and don't need any meat in the bones." Chu Qing's gesture of finding fault was too obvious. There were many people around who wanted to buy meat. Looking at this posture, the speed I took a few steps back, only watching but not buying, for fear of being hurt by the fish in the pond.

Butcher Jia glanced at Chu Qing again, but his hands still didn't stop. A boning knife was out of play. He picked up a bone and began to peel the meat. When the flesh and bone were separated, it was really a white piece. Bones, click everything, throw it on the scale, just two catties, pick it up, and put it next to the meat: "35 Wen."

Chu Qing looked at Jia Tufu and smiled, "No hurry, no hurry."

The onlookers didn't dare to show their atmosphere, and continued to watch at a distance.

Butcher Jia stabbed the boning knife into the case: "Say."

Chu Qing pointed to a big pig's head behind him, and said, "I still want to buy this."

Butcher Jia took off the pig's head and slammed it on the desk with a bang. He was about to pack it, but only heard Chu Qing Youyou continue: "Don't worry, the pig's head only needs bones and not meat. If the pig's skull is intact, please trouble me and pick it up." gone."

Everyone gasped: "..."

Forget about the meat and bones, how do you pick the pig's head?
Jia Tufu froze, raised his head slowly, squinted his eyes to look at Chu Qing carefully, pressed the desk with one hand, and held the handle of the sharp knife with the other: "You can do what you want."

The crowd seemed to have opened a gap, and began to shout at one another: "That's right, Mrs. Jia Tu is so good, she has always been a child without being bullied, and she has never been short-changed. Aren't you making trouble for others?" How do you pick the pig’s head? It’s still intact, is this here to find fault?”

Another person said: "It doesn't look like it at all, the young man is white and clean, but why is his heart so poisonous?"

Not far away, Yu Gufeng worriedly said: "Master, do you want to go up and help?" Mr. Chu is so small, isn't he going up to fight?
Li Tianxiao kept his eyes on Chu Qing, heard it, and shook his head: "Wait a minute." He believed in Chu Qing, and believed that since he did this, there must be a reason for him to do so.

Chu Qing turned a blind eye to the voices behind her, and just looked at Butcher Jia: "I'll come? But you're a butcher, so what if I do it myself? Will you give me a waiver?"

Jia Wenqing narrowed her eyes: "Yes."

Chu Qing knew that he had taken the bait, and bent the corner of her mouth: "After that, I come every day, will I be free every day?"

Jia Wenqing said, "Yes."

Chu smiled lightly.

She chose on the desk, picked up several boning knives of different lengths, tried them one by one, and then slowly pulled the pig's head over. The next moment, a stunned scene happened. The knife technique was extremely fast, and the speed of deboning was almost invisible. In the blink of an eye, when they shook their heads and looked again, they found that a pig's head that was originally good had been separated into two parts, which were really intact. Partially, the meat and bones are separated.

For a while, the surrounding area was extremely quiet, and the next moment, there was a burst of applause.

Someone cheered and said, "Little master is good at craftsmanship, when will we open a butcher shop, we will all go to buy meat from you!"

Everyone echoed: "That's right, just this pattern is enough to feast our eyes, we will buy it too!"

Chu Qing: "..."

Yu Kuifeng was stunned not far away, and when he heard what everyone said, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Li Tianxiao glanced at him, covered his mouth and was stunned. Thinking of him going to slaughter pigs and sell meat with his upper body naked, I feel that the sense of disobedience is too strong.

The deep meaning in Jia Wenqing's eyes became stronger, he looked at Chu Qing thoughtfully, and then at her hands, his cold expression finally changed: "The skill is good, but the strength is not enough." Take it away, take the things directly to cover the things on the desk, and go out directly: "I won't do business today, let's all go back." After walking a few steps, seeing Chu Qing still standing where he was, he tilted his head: " Still not following?"

Chu Qing knew that Jia Wenqing should have seen from his technique that he had passed on to his master, so he followed, and before leaving, he gestured to Li Tianxiao.

Yu Gufeng worried: "Master, should we follow? Will Mr. Chu be in danger?"

Li Tianxiao's eyes were deep, and he said, "No need, he has his own way." Their passing may disrupt his plan.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it couldn't help him and made him feel even more depressed.

Chu Qing followed Jia Wenqing back to the small courtyard behind his butcher shop, hooked up two low stools, kicked one to Chu Qing, and sat down carelessly: "Where's the lame Zhang? Came to Yancheng? Handling a case?" He hasn't seen Lame Zhang for more than ten years, but he has been exchanging letters, so he knows that Lame Zhang has accepted an apprentice, but he didn't come first. It's grown so big.

Chu Qing sat down on the low stool, and when she heard Jia Wenqing's words, she lowered her eyes, and a look of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Master is dead."
