Brocade clothing

Chapter 77
Zhong Xuan noticed Chu Qing when he came into Beizhen Fusi, but he was discussing a difficult case at that time, but he didn't say hello. , there is a beautiful lady in his room, raising eyebrows, the rare and calm man actually made a joke: "Go out and bring back a lady?"

Qiao Yu blushed when she heard Zhong Xuan's words.He hid in the room and refused to come out no matter what.

Chu Qing couldn't help but sighed and said, "Brother Zhong, are you kidding me again? The punchline is about the victim's family in a case I solved in Yancheng. Because she is homeless, she can't stay in Yancheng." Going down, I thought that if she followed me, at least... I could learn something. If one day I really die, at least the mantle of Master can be passed on. Burning incense." Chu Qing's voice was a bit lonely, she was not sure if she could avenge Master, if one day, even she was enlightened, who else could restore Master's innocence and find the murderer who murdered him.

Zhong Xuan restrained his joking words, stretched out his hand and patted Chu Qing's shoulder: "How can you be so depressed at such a young age, even... isn't there me? Can't I help you?"

Chu Qing wiped her face and smiled, wondering if Li Tianxiao's previous emotions had affected her, she was so depressed.She was already good at emotional balance, so she quickly settled her mind: "I won't talk about this, but I'm afraid I will disturb Brother Zhong again in the past few days. I will find a house to live out soon, and the delay will not be a few days."

"What are you talking about? You can live as long as you want. This Beizhen Fusi still lacks a place for you to rest?" Zhong Xuan didn't want Chu Qing to live outside, he was afraid that those people would If you recognize him, I'm afraid his life will be in danger.

Chu Qing shook her head: "This is a government office after all, and all the people who come in and out are doing business for the government. I will start investigating Master's case later, and it may involve a lot, which is inconvenient." It's also easy It was revealed that she was trying her best not to implicate Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan had already helped her a lot, if he was implicated again, she would feel uneasy.

Chu Qing finally persuaded Zhong Xuan, and quickly changed the subject by the way: "I saw that Jin Yiwei's brothers went in and out, so this is another case?"

Zhong Xuan nodded: "In these days, there have been many cases of missing children in several towns under the jurisdiction of Kyoto. The top and bottom have been investigated, but there is no clue. The adults of Qianhu were furious, so they put pressure on us. The case will be solved within a month, but fortunately there is no such rush this time, but I have no clue and nothing to do."

Chu Qingdao: "If it's useful..." But before she finished speaking, Zhong Xuan waved her hand: "It's not that you are really asked to solve the case, we can still deal with these, it's really imminent, don't you Said that I also asked to come to you. Now you should concentrate on investigating your affairs, and your master's affairs are the most important thing." Chu Qing is not hypocritical, since Zhong Xuan said so, she also agreed up.Before Zhong Xuan left, Chu Qing thought of the familiar maidservant from the Zhao family whom she had seen before, and knew that Zhong Xuan had always been familiar with what happened in the capital, so she asked a few questions.

"The Zhao family?" Zhong Xuan was stunned for a moment, "Which Zhao family?"

"It's the former Minister of the Ministry of War. Later, he returned to Qingshui Town and became a master outside the staff. He is called Master Zhao. Brother Zhong, let me think about it. By the way, his real name is Zhao Kuiwu." Chu Qing heard that Master mentioned it. Master Zhao heard that he has a background, but he doesn't know who is behind it.

"It's him, then you read that right, he did return to the capital from Qingshui Town a month or two ago, and he heard that he bought a big house, and it is said that he planned to settle down, but in the past two months Come on, he's quite honest, and I haven't heard much about his comings and goings." Zhong Xuan said.

Hearing this, Chu Qing thought that maybe Mr. Zhao didn't want to stay in Qingshui Town anymore, so she didn't ask any more questions.She planned to go to Liu's house again when she was free, to think of a way to see if she could sneak into Liu's house, but she didn't believe that this Liu's house could really be so impregnable?

So early the next morning, Chu Qing rented a carriage with witty words, and drove it to the street of Liu's house. Because the carriages were all about the same size, letting the carriage pass outside Liu's house a few more times would not cause trouble. Too much attention.Since the Liu family in Qingshui Town entered the capital, they have lived in their own Liu's mansion. .

It's just something that Chu Qing didn't expect, when passing a place, there was an accident on the way. The carriage was driving well, but suddenly two crazy refugees jumped out from the corner and disturbed the carriage. After the horse was startled, She went mad and started to run wildly after kicking her knees. Chu Qing didn't pay attention at first, the carriage suddenly bumped up and down violently, and then began to run crookedly, and there was an exclamation from outside.Chu Qing's complexion changed, she asked Qiao Yu to protect herself, raised the curtain, and saw the horse galloping forward like crazy, the coachman couldn't hold it no matter what, his face turned pale with fright!

"What's going on?" Chu Qing was so tossed that she could barely speak.

"Young master... I'm really sorry. Two refugees popped up suddenly just now, and I was startled... Seeing that this is probably unstoppable, if it doesn't work later, the two of you should find a softer place to jump into the carriage. ..." As soon as the coachman finished speaking, he saw a child holding a toy suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the middle of the road, and he didn't even hide when he saw the horse rushing towards him!

"Get out of the way!" Chu Qing's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted out!
The coachman was about to cry too, and tried his best to pull the reins, but the horse seemed to be crazy.

Chu Qing's face changed greatly in anxiety: "I'll help you, drive the carriage to one side, don't hurt the child!" She planned to go forward to help the coachman pull the reins, but before she could make a move, suddenly the child in front of her , was carried away by someone with an arm around his waist, his figure was as fast as lightning, and his unrestrained demeanor attracted the crowd on both sides of the street to breathe a sigh of relief.Before Chu Qing had a good look at the man, a tall and strong man suddenly fell from their carriage. He pulled the rein with his arm, the muscles on his arm protruded, and he grabbed the horse abruptly.

The moment the horse was pulled, it let out a long neighing sound, its front hooves were raised high, and the bumpy carriage staggered again. Chu Qing supported the wall of the carriage, turned to look at Miaoyu, and saw Miaoyu holding the window of the carriage , but he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked at the man who was still holding the rein with lingering fear: "Brother Zhong, thank you!"

Zhong Xuan was sure that the horse would not be crazy anymore, so he turned his head to look at Chu Qing: "It's too dangerous for you to go out!"

"Brother Zhong is worried, why are you here?" Her eyes fell on Zhong Xuan's Baihu uniform, could it be that she came out to handle the case?
"Just passing by while handling the case." Zhong Xuan looked at the man who quickly took the child away.I didn't notice it before, but when I glanced over, I found that the other party was looking in their direction with a dark face, but his demeanor was extraordinary and extravagant, but now I don't know if he felt that he almost trampled on the child, and his face was quite bad.Two attendants also appeared beside him, and took the child out of his arms. The child was obviously frightened before, and now he burst into tears.

Chu Qing followed Zhong Xuan's line of sight, and also saw the man before, met his face, and was taken aback: Well, this is also an acquaintance!

"Brother Li?"

"You know him?" Zhong Xuan asked in surprise, he helped Chu Qing get out of the carriage, and then helped Miao Yu down, Miao Yu bent over and saluted, then stood beside Chu Qing, patted his heart, She began to tidy up the messy skirts and the hair accessories on her head. She was afraid that Chu Qing's identity would be exposed if her hair was messed up, so she was extra cautious and patient.

Chu Qing came back to her senses: "I know, some old friends." She didn't elaborate, but stopped walking towards Li Tianxiao because of the witty words, and comforted the witty words a few times in a warm voice, lest she might be scared, the witty words are shallow Shaking his head, even looking up, he smiled at her.

But this scene fell into Li Tianxiao's eyes, his pupils became darker and sharper, but he didn't say a word, Zhong Xuan walked over and thanked him: "Thank you for your help earlier, my lord, otherwise I'm afraid I will mess with you." It's a life lawsuit."

Li Tianxiao said unceremoniously: "Let the person who should be thanked come and thank you!"

Zhong Xuan was slightly stunned, squinted his eyes, and looked at the man carefully. The man wore a mask, and his eyes were extremely sharp. In this capital where every inch of land is stored, if you don't pay attention, you will meet dignitaries. Zhong Xuan's mood sank, not knowing what Chu Qing meant Has your old friend ever offended him?

Chu Qing walked over quickly, but Li Tianxiao had already left: "Brother Li!" Chu Qing called out from behind, but Li Tianxiao walked even faster instead.

"Do you have old grudges with him?" Zhong Xuan followed her and asked behind her.

"No." What's going on with Big Brother Li, it's been strange since the way back to Beijing, but thanks to him today, otherwise, the child's life would really be lost. "Forget it, thank you next time we meet." The horse she was riding on was frightened, fearing that she would have to go to the yamen to record it and need to explain it.When she turned around, she saw that the child's mother had rushed over with a pale face, was supported by someone, and almost knelt there. Fortunately, the child ran over crying, and she hugged her. Just hugged my head and cried.

Beside her, Zhong Xuan's people came over with the two refugees who had caused the horse's shock earlier.

The two refugees were all in tatters, their expressions were in a trance, and they were still muttering, but it was easy to see that they were a man and a woman, but their ages could not be discerned, their faces were unkempt, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Holding a rag doll tightly, pressing it firmly in her arms, she tilted her head from time to time and murmured: "Child...child..."
