Brocade clothing

Chapter 94
"In this mansion, who else does Qi Yiniang make friends with?" Chu Qing asked.

Ruizhu wiped away her tears, thought carefully, shook her head and said: "The eighteen aunts who married the young master, including the wife, are mainly divided into two types, one is forcibly taken away by the young master; The other type is to marry in voluntarily for the sake of prosperity and wealth. Those who are robbed and married are like wives, not very enthusiastic, and they are unwilling to make friends with such a small family like the wife. The wife seeks an official position for her natal brother. The second one is like the Seventeenth Aunt, who looks down on Madam even more, so these years, Madam has been in the garden...except for slaves, there is almost no one who can talk to her." Ruizhu said, I don't know what came to mind, a flash of anxiety flashed across his expression, he quickly raised his head to look at Chu Qing, and said anxiously: "My lord, could it be... this murderer is really avenging Madam?"

Chu Qing smiled: "Before there is no factual evidence, these are just inferences. Now the matter of your wife is over, and after the name is rectified, you can come back to the mansion and live a good life." Chu Qing's pupils shrank Shrinking, she was sure that she had read correctly just now. When she said the words "really avenging my wife", this Ruizhu didn't know what to think, and there was a flash of uneasiness and worry in her expression. , but was still captured by Chu Qing.

Chu Qing didn't say much, and let Ruizhu go down, and Housekeeper Xiao came back soon, looking at Chu Qing, who probably got an order, and asked, "Young Master Yu, did you find out?"

Chu Qing said: "Not at all."

Butler Xiao said, "But it has something to do with Ruizhu...?"

Chu Qing took a look at Steward Xiao and said with a smile, "Of course it's irrelevant. I believe Steward Xiao has checked it out. Ruizhu has never left Zhuangzi in the past six months."

Butler Xiao responded, "Then... I don't know who the murderer is?"

The corner of Chu Qing's mouth raised: "It will naturally appear when it should appear? There is no rush for this matter. I will leave the rest to Butler Xiao. I will come back tomorrow, but today, the butler will take this The eighteen aunts, when and how the eldest and young wives entered the mansion, and the situation of the family members were sorted out and reported to me. I believe that in order for Mr. Xiao to find the murderer as soon as possible, Housekeeper Xiao will not lie to me, ok? "At the end, Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, the deep meaning in his eyebrows made Butler Xiao tremble, and smiled: "What are you talking about, Master, how could this old slave deceive you."

Chu Qing also ignored Housekeeper Xiao, went straight out of Xiao's mansion, and went back to Beizhen Fusi, and greeted him with a witty phrase: "Young master, is there anything to gain?" At the same time, he handed over a cup of tea.

Chu Qing gulped it down, nodded and shook his head again: "I don't know if it counts as a harvest. I'll go find Brother Zhong, don't run around for a few days, and when this matter is resolved, I'll find a reason and give it to you." Make another identity change."

Because of Xiao Haocheng's incident, Qiao Yu was targeted by the Xiao family. Even if this matter will not have anything to do with Qiao Yu in the future, once word of her appearance spreads, it may be easy to cause trouble.What's more, it is even more dangerous to follow her.

Miaoyu also knew Chu Qing's concerns, and nodded: "Yes, Miaoyu understands."

Chu Qing went to find Zhong Xuan, but as soon as he walked to the entrance of the yard, he saw Zhong Xuan coming in with a stack of things, and saw Chu Qing stunned: "You just came back, I have something to do with you."

Chu Qing said: "It's just that, I have something to do with Brother Zhong."

Zhong Xuan smiled, and hid the rice paper he was holding behind his back, "Success, you talk first. I'll give you a surprise after you finish."

Chu lightly pursed her lips and said, "What surprise? Someone came from Qingshui Town, right? The identities of the refugee couple have been confirmed?"

Zhong Xuan said in surprise: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

Chu Qing said: "Who are they?"

Zhong Xuan was not in a hurry at this time: "I'll talk about this later, and I can't explain a sentence or two clearly. First, tell me what you are looking for me for? Is the case of the Xiao family settled?"

Chu Qing welcomed Zhong Xuan into the inner hall, served tea for the two of them with witty words, and then retreated, Chu Qing said: "No, but there are some signs. I want Brother Zhong to help me find a quick and worthy Someone you trust, help me sneak into Xiao's house and stare at someone."

Zhong Xuan thought about it: "Okay, tell me, who are you staring at?"

Chu Qingdao: "Rui Zhu, the personal maid of the eldest son Qi Yiniang who passed away half a year ago. She came out of the Zhuangzi and will stay in the mansion for two days. You can find someone to help me keep an eye on who she mainly meets. It’s about getting in touch with people, and what exactly they did.”

Zhong Xuan said: "You doubt her?"

Chu shook his head lightly: "She is not suspected, but I think she will know something."

Zhong Xuandao: "Why is it so troublesome? Can't we just arrest him for interrogation?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said: "Maybe it's okay for others, but this Ruizhu is loyal, and she is afraid that she just suspects that person. That person did what she dared not do, and avenged her master. In desperation, she would rather commit suicide than reveal that person.” So it’s the most effective and quickest way to scare the snake away. "I don't trust the people in Xiao's residence, I'm afraid they will deal with Ruizhu directly." She is a coordinator, not a judge. If Ruizhu is innocent, she must not let her have trouble.

Zhong Xuan naturally heard the meaning of Chu Qing's words, and said earnestly: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you."

Chu Qing naturally trusted Zhong Xuan, and said: "Then Brother Zhong can tell me what happened to the refugee couple?"

Zhong Xuan handed the stack of rice paper that he had hidden earlier to Chu Qing and said, "Look at these first."

Chu Qingdao: "What is this?" She picked it up as she spoke, but after looking at it, she was stunned for a while, "They sold children?"

Zhong Xuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, they are a couple from a poorer village below Qingshui Town, because they couldn't afford to raise a child, so after their child was born about two months ago, they gave their child to It was sold. I originally wanted the child to find a good family, at least to prevent the child from suffering. But what I didn’t expect was that it was about a month ago. I don’t know where the couple learned that their child died. , to be so bluntly insane..."

Chu Qing frowned: "How did they come to the capital?" It's not a short distance from Qingshui Town to the capital.

Zhong Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only found out about this so far. What did you think of?"

Chu Qing only felt that something flashed through her mind just now, but it disappeared quickly. When she thought about it again, she couldn't remember it anymore, "No, did you find out who raised that child? What? dead?"

Zhong Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. The couple sold it themselves. They just wanted to go back and have a look at it from time to time, but they didn't expect that the child died in only two or three months. Are you crazy?"

Chu Qing said: "Brother Zhong, please continue to inquire and find out who it is sold to? If you have to buy a child, there are only two possibilities. The first is the family that can't have children; the second is, I'm afraid they are specialized in these businesses..."

Zhong Xuan thought of the dozens of towns below the capital that often lost their children these days, and his heart skipped a beat: "You mean, it might be related to the loss of children? Are they bought by traffickers?"

Chu Qing shook his head: "Not necessarily, because if this is the case, they can't let the child die like this." Otherwise, they are not pleasing to both sides, and how can they do things that are not beneficial?Moreover, since it is a big family, they would not hesitate to buy a child to carry on the family line, how could they not take care of it?
For some reason, she always felt that there was something very contradictory in this matter, but for a while, she couldn't figure it out.

Zhong Xuan agreed, and soon went down to do it.

The witty words came in, seeing that Chu Qing was still thinking: "Master, are you still thinking about that couple?"

Chu Qing hummed: "They sold the child as a last resort because they couldn't afford it. They were afraid that the child would suffer with them, but they didn't expect to harm the child. That's why they blamed themselves so much that they drove themselves crazy..." She couldn't say anything, rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "Come on, come with me to see that couple again."

As she walked, she went through the incident in her mind: there are a few oddities at the moment.One is, how could this couple be crazy and come to the capital all of a sudden?Second, who did they sell their children to?Third, how did they know the child was dead?

Unless, the child is sold to the nearest place, they can see and inquire about it, but in that case, they will go to that place to ask for an explanation, after all, the child died for no reason in just a few months, although it was sold to them, but After all, it is a biological child, so there is no reason not to make a fuss. Since there is going to be a fuss, and the other party is a wealthy family, Qingshui Town is not very big, so how could it not spread?

Why is that?
While Chu Qing was thinking about it, she had already arrived at the place where the refugee couple was being held. She stood outside, watching the couple hugging a rag doll, murmuring something in a low voice from time to time, but she couldn't hear clearly.

Chu Qing stood for a while, her heart was sore, her brows were tightly frowned.

Seeing that she was feeling uncomfortable, the witty words said, "Young Master, let's go back."

Chu Qing nodded, and replied: "Yeah." Just the moment she turned around, suddenly the woman holding the child found her, started to roar again, became mad, and rushed to the door, separated by The railing began to howl towards Chu: "Ah -return my child! Return to my child -ah ah ah-" His shouting, frightened the wonderful words, she dragged Chu Qing tightly arm, panicked.

As soon as the woman roared, the man also started howling: "Look...find...the capital...the capital...the child...ah—give me back my child! Give me back my child!"

Their roars immediately attracted Jin Yiwei from Beizhen Fusi, who knocked them a few times with a stick to calm them down. While he was giving way, the man was still howling the words "looking for a child" and "Beijing"...

Looking for a child?try to find?try to find……

Chu Qing took a few steps back, watching the hustle and bustle, but her mind was particularly sober. She squinted her eyes, and slowly connected various lines in her mind, and her face suddenly changed: She knows!

She finally knew why the couple came back to the capital!

Know exactly who they sold the child to!
Chu Qing stepped forward, told Jin Yiwei not to hurt them, and hurried out.
