Chapter 96 The Savior
Chu Qing couldn't help being happy: "I didn't say that, so tell me, why did Young Master Xiao become Aunt Nineteen's lifesaver?" Those sons and sisters of the younger generation have learned a lot, saying that he has the intention of saving people, but she absolutely doesn't believe it.Or, did she really miss it?This Xiao Haocheng is still an enthusiast at heart?
When Housekeeper Xiao mentioned this matter, he relished it: "Master Yu, you don't know that, this is the charm of my eldest son! It's just a pity that my eldest son was assassinated by someone, it's really hateful!"

Chu Qing propped her chin with one hand, and looked lazily at Butler Xiao: "Butler, you don't have to be emotional, let's talk about it, how did your young master know this nineteenth aunt?"

Butler Xiao also seemed to think that the matter of Aunt Nineteen should be commendable, and also worthy of being praised as his young master. Hearing that Chu Qing was very interested, he said happily: "Young Master Yu, don't you know?" , my young master is really Aunt Nineteen’s savior. If it wasn’t for my young master, Aunt Nineteen would have been sold into that kiln by her uncle and aunt. With her body, she might have... ..." Butler Xiao thought of that scene at the time, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but it's strange to say that his young master likes to watch the excitement and not care about it, but at that time, his own young master just took care of it An idle affair.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Chu Qing sat up straight and looked at Butler Xiao: "Isn't this nineteenth aunt an innocent girl from Zengjia Village? How could she be reduced to the point of being sold?" Logically speaking, only Only a maidservant who has been sold can be sold by her master's family, even uncles and aunts are not eligible.

Housekeeper Xiao said: "The nineteenth aunt's uncle is a gambler. He lost his money in a bet and was reluctant to sell his own girl. Wouldn't he sell the orphan girl left behind by his own brother? Tsk tsk, that would be miserable. , Mr. Yu, you didn't see that scene at that time, and it happened that the eldest young master..." Butler Xiao didn't know what to think of, and at the end, he suddenly fell silent and refused to speak any more.

Chu Qing glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Why didn't Housekeeper Xiao say anything?"

Butler Xiao lowered his head: "The deceased is the greatest, it's not good..."

"It's nothing, it's just the two of us now. No matter what you said, Steward Xiao, I just pretended I didn't hear it. How about it? You know that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xiao are in such a rush now that the murderer can't be found in one day." , those of us down here don't feel comfortable all day..." Chu smiled softly, but the laughter made Butler Xiao feel terrified.

"But...But Aunt Nineteen doesn't look like..."

"I didn't say there was something wrong with the Nineteenth Aunt. Isn't this checking one by one now? In case any clues are accidentally missed, this responsibility... must not only be me, but even you, Housekeeper Xiao, can't afford it, right? "Chu Qing stood up, walked around behind Steward Xiao very slowly, and finally stood still in front of Steward Xiao: "Or, Steward Xiao, are you actually hiding me on purpose? Huh?" The final sound scared Steward Xiao A trembling, quickly shook his head and said: "It's absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing, if you want to hear, Mr. Yu, then I'll tell you. Actually, it's nothing special, and the young master knows it. ...I like to listen to storytelling and drink wine. Naturally, to listen to books, I go to the tea house, which is the place where the young master was killed before, and to drink wine, I go to Cuiyuexuan, which is...the brothel. At that time The young master happened to be drinking flower wine in the brothel, and met someone who came to sell Nineteen Auntie, Nineteen Aunt refused, so she started yelling outside Cuiyuexuan, struggling, and bit a lot of people. Man, so angry that the old bustard found a thug to teach Nineteen Auntie, of course, Nineteen Aunt was not Nineteen Aunt at that time... The young master has always been a spectator, and when he heard something interesting, he naturally went over Yes, Nineteenth Aunt was weak at that time, and she was beaten so badly that she couldn't move on the ground in a puddle of blood. But later on, I don't know how this Nineteenth Aunt was so strong. He grabbed the hem of the young master's lower garment, opened his eyes, his forehead was smeared with blood, and his body was also covered with blood, so scared that the young master almost kicked him to death. Later, he didn't know what the young master thought, saved people."

When Butler Xiao said this, he was very emotional. He seemed to feel that Xiao Haocheng had finally done a good deed, but the good deed did not save him from this disaster. He was actually killed by someone. Butler Xiao couldn't help it. She wiped away her tears, but unfortunately, from Chu Qing's point of view, she didn't see any tears on his face at all: "Housekeeper Xiao, you can hear clearly."

Butler Xiao said: "After the nineteenth aunt was rescued, she found out about the mansion of the young master, and she guarded outside the mansion every day. Whenever she saw the young master, she would send something to the young master. How could the young master be treated like this?" Chased after, this time twice, I thought it was quite interesting, so I gave it to my subordinates, but it was all rewarded to the followers below. I thought Nineteen Auntie would just give it away occasionally, but I didn't expect that this insistence would be half-hearted For many months, the Eldest Young Master used to rob civilian girls by force... Bah, the Eldest Young Master used to bring civilian daughters home..." Butler Xiao saw that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed his words, "So wait for Nineteenth Aunt to say something wrong. When he was not married, the young master waved his hand and took the nineteenth aunt. However, it is strange to say that the young master also likes to look at him, but the young master seldom rests with the nineteenth aunt. , it’s really evil.”

Chu Qing lowered her eyes and thought quietly: "How did Steward Xiao know about these things?"

Butler Xiao said: "This is not what Defushou who is next to the young master said. They are happy to spread this good news. The young master saw a lot of people praising it, so he didn't hide it. This is a lot to say, and naturally everyone knows the details." It's all clear..."

Chu Qing supported her chin with one hand and waved her hand: "Okay, I understand. Please trouble housekeeper Xiao to bring Defushou here."

Steward Xiao's heart skipped a beat: "Young Master Yu, it's not true..."

Chu Qingle: "Steward Xiao, didn't you say it yourself? The nineteenth lady has only been in the mansion for a month, so if the murderer really wanted to avenge Qi Yiniang, what is the reason? Qi Yiniang has no reason to know a country girl. girl?"

Butler Xiao also thought about it: "That's right, look at me, I'm thinking wildly again." Butler Xiao was a little afraid of Mr. Yu's eyes, as if he could read people's hearts. They have worked in Gaomen's mansion for many years. There wasn't any blood in it, and I didn't think it was anything at first, but when I met the eyes of Mr. Yu, I felt uncomfortable all over, as if the next moment, everything in my heart would be seen through, that feeling , but quite bad.

Defushou was brought here soon, because Xiao Haocheng died when they were on duty. These days, they couldn't eat well and sleep well, and they were so thin that they almost lost their shape. Seeing Chu Qing , He knelt down with a puff: "Master Yu, help me! Please tell the old lady, we are really not accomplices, and we don't know why the young master died suddenly..."

Chu Qing said: "You guys get up first."

"Can……"

"Huh?" Chu Qing glanced at them intimidatingly, and then began to apply pressure. The two of them trembled in fright, and they dared not go forward. They just got up obediently and stood with their waists bowed, trembling with fear. : "You don't have to be afraid. I know you are wronged. Isn't this the murderer who is being investigated? If the murderer is found, you will naturally be innocent. When the time comes, I will help you speak a few words, like the old lady begging for money." Two deeds of prostitution are still acceptable." Chu Qing looked at the two of them and looked up suddenly with surprise in his eyes, and continued: "Of course, if you have concealed something and I can't find the murderer, it's not only me, but even you are afraid ...After all, Young Master Xiao died under your noses, even if it had nothing to do with you, you will be buried with him. In this mansion, it should be easy to kill one or two people, right? "

Defushou was so frightened that he immediately wanted to kneel down again, but when Chu Qingliang took a look, the two of them immediately didn't dare to kneel indiscriminately, but kept nodding their heads: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, the two of us must know everything. There is no end to it, and I guarantee that there is nothing to say, and there will be no second words!"

Chu Qing said: "Let's talk about it first, how did the seventh aunt die?"

The faces of the two turned pale: "No... Didn't you say that you already know, it was the Seventeenth Aunt who... framed the Seventh Aunt, and the Eldest Young Master didn't know people, so I accidentally killed the Seventh Aunt, this matter... Ten Didn't Qi Yiniang's maid have already said it?" The two wrung their hands, their eyes dodged, not daring to meet Chu Qing's eyes.

Chu Qing sneered and said nothing, the two of them were so frightened that their legs went limp: "Young Master Yu!"

"If you don't want to tell the truth, then leave."

"Sir, don't be angry! Let's talk! Let's talk!" As soon as the two of them gritted their teeth, the eldest sons on the left and right were gone. They couldn't give up their lives. After thinking about it, they said, "Ah, actually ... The young master also felt that what Aunt Seventeen said might not be true, but... At that time, Aunt Seventeen had been pestering the young master, and the young master was very interested in Aunt Seventeen at that time, so I thought It's just a few boards, so I have the right to be a Pomeranian, and I will find out later, if I really wronged Qi Yiniang, I just need to coax her, but I didn't expect... Qi Yiniang was pregnant at that time , did not say in advance, if this board is beaten down, people will be gone soon, and two lives will be lost. The young master also regretted it at the time, but he is the young master, so he has to save face anyway, just treat it as a I don't know, but later, I scolded Aunt Seventeen in front of us, and then this matter... just let it go." The two looked at each other and began to cry: "Young Master Yu, we also know about this matter It's our young master who did something wrong, but... but young master is dead, and we people don't dare to say anything at all, if young master says one thing, we definitely dare not say two things!"
