Brocade clothing

Chapter 98
Just when Jun Hao was going to tell Li Tianxiao not to think about anything else, and to act first, a voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have urgent and confidential documents."

Li Tianxiao glanced at Jun Hao, Jun Hao responded, and hid behind the screen with Lang Feng. On the imperial case, this just retreated with the guards.Only Li Tianxiao and the others were left in the imperial study room again. Jun Hao and Lang Feng came out and looked at the secret letter covered with red mud: "Master, this seems to be left to look for..." Jun Hao and Lang Feng They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Li Tianxiao also realized something. He clenched his slender fingers a little bit, but he didn't open the package. After waiting for a long time, he took a deep breath and opened it slowly. After reading clearly what was written on it, he read it many times. The always calm and calm Mou Ren could not help flashing a touch of emotion. After a long time, he stood up suddenly and walked out of the imperial study room.

Jun Hao asked Lang Feng to follow, then picked up the letter and glanced at it. After reading it, he couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes: Have you finally found it all?Lord, this time, there is no need to worry about the future anymore!
On the other side, Yu Kuifeng came out of the imperial study and hurried out. He had already inquired. Jiaojiao held a banquet at Mingyue Pavilion at noon today to welcome General Chi. If you can pretend to meet by chance, you will naturally meet Jiaojiao.Yu Kuifeng held back the turmoil in his heart, and walked out of the palace, but before he reached the gate of the palace, he saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walking towards him from a distance. He was full of hostility, and he looked like a tough guy with a lot of blood on his hands.The person who came was the mighty General Chi Mai, who guarded southern borders and was known far and near as a mighty tiger. He was very loyal to the country and had always been loyal and cautious to the emperor.This General Chi is the most famous and talked about by people, probably the former servant Zhao Kuiwu was the recommender of Chi Mai, but the person who exposed the corruption case of Zhao Kuiwu embezzling the army's salary and food to delay the military situation was also Chi Mai.

At that time, General Chi could be said to be the one standing on the cusp of the limelight. Some people in the court thought he was ungrateful, while others thought he was loyal to the country and not confused by personal affections. This really explained the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness since ancient times.

Yu Gufeng obeyed this loyal general for the country, not to mention that he was the father of his sweetheart, seeing Chimai approaching, Yu Gufeng's body froze, staring blankly at Chimai striding away Come over, followed by two very tall lieutenants, also with the same aura as General Chi, the three of them walked over with great momentum.

Yu Gufeng waited for Chi Mai to approach before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Chi, General Chi!"

Chi Mai stopped, took a closer look, and recognized Yu Kufeng: "So it's Nephew Yu Xian, who came to accompany the emperor again?"

Yu Kuifeng blushed: "Yes, yes... Is General Chi going to the imperial study to see the emperor?"

Chi Mai smiled and said: "Yes." Yu Gufeng chatted with Chi Mai again, thinking that General Chi has entered the palace at this moment, I am afraid that the reception banquet at Mingyue Pavilion will also be ruined, so it is better to follow Chi Mai first General, if you still meet Jiaojiao after leaving the palace, Yu Zhufeng said: "It happens that my nephew forgot to tell the emperor something, so I will accompany General Chi to the imperial study, the emperor was still there just now."

Chi Mai thought about it: "That's fine, I just went out to Mingyue Pavilion for dinner with the old man later, and that child Jiaojiao insisted on hosting some welcome banquet, she was just fooling around."

This is exactly what Yu Gufeng wanted, and he responded repeatedly: "Yes, then my nephew would rather be respectful than obedient."

Chi Mai laughed heartily, suddenly remembered something, and looked at the lieutenant at the side: "Ah Leftover, you haven't been back to the capital for several years, have you? I heard that your hometown is in the Zengjia Village below? Go back and have a look, too. Don't follow the old man, it's enough to have Xiangping here."

Chi Mai has always had two capable lieutenants, one named Xiangping and the other... Zeng Gouzeng.Yu Kuifeng thought of the legendary lieutenant general who was especially good at fighting and had an ugly name, so he couldn't help but follow General Chi's line of sight, and sure enough, he met a strong man, more than eight feet tall, with a It's tendon meat, tiger eyes wide open, full of momentum, after hearing General Chi's words, a touch of embarrassment and embarrassment flashed across his face, he scratched the back of his head, and said gratefully: "Hey, thank you General for your compassion, I really haven't returned for many years , my subordinates, go quickly."

Chi Mai smiled: "I'll give you a few more days off, go back and spend time with your family. I'm afraid I'll be back in southern Xinjiang in a few days. I don't know when I'll see you next time." A few words from Chi Mai , obviously mentioned the point of Deputy General Zeng, his tiger eyes turned red, and he nodded. The other deputy general named Chu Xiangping also comforted Zeng Gousheng, "Don't worry, the general will have me here, the big deal is next time." When you meet my hometown, you can help me guard it." After Deputy General Chu said this, Zeng Gouzeng's mood calmed down a lot, and he probably really missed his relatives, so he left in a hurry.

Yu Gufeng saw this scene in his eyes, and admired General Chi even more. He was so considerate and benevolent to his subordinates. The subordinates are really kind, and the young people admire them."

Chi Mai smiled brightly: "You are not a bad young man. Ah Ling has been with the old man in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years. A few years ago, there was a plague in his village, and many people died. Now there is only one younger sister. With his uncle and aunt, he didn't get the chance to go back, and he has been sending money back in the past few years, this time it happened to be in time, so I will give him a few more vacations."

Yu Gufeng deliberately chatted with Chi Mai for a few words, so as to enhance the relationship, "Is this Vice General Zeng from Zengjia Village?" Yu Gufeng quickly deduced from the time that three or four years ago, several villages below the capital were in trouble After the plague, it took a long time to find out that it was caused by sick cows, and many people died at that time, so when Chi Mai said, he thought of the surname of Deputy General Zeng, and he thought of Zengjia Village.

Chi Mai did not expect Yu Kuifeng to understand the sufferings of the people in such detail. It can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort. He has always known that the emperor is a wise king, and he is willing to follow. The people around the emperor, especially the son of the prime minister, It is a rare man of benevolence and righteousness. You may only have heard of it before, but you have rarely seen it. Now you can't help touching your chin and admiring a few words.Yu Gufeng was praised so flutteringly that he followed Chi Mai back to the imperial study.

Early the next morning, when Chu Qing was about to go to Xiao's house, the person Zhong Xuan sent out to monitor Qi Yiniang's handmaiden, Ruizhu, came to the news. Sure enough, as Chu Qing expected, this Ruizhu finally couldn't help but went to meet someone. This person is none other than Nineteenth Aunt Zeng Cuihua.Chu Qing took the results and sat in the gazebo. The clear and bright eyes of the nineteenth aunt flashed in her mind. She couldn't figure out why she would be willing to die for the seventh aunt's death even though she had nothing to do with the nineteenth aunt. He didn't hesitate to marry into Xiao's family, and even gave up so many thoughts, just to plot to murder Seventeenth Aunt and Xiao Haocheng?Chu Qing didn't think Nineteenth Aunt met Xiao Haocheng just when she was betrayed, how could it be such a coincidence?

"What's the matter?" Zhong Xuan worked on the case all night, and when he came back, he saw Chu Qing holding a few pieces of rice paper in a daze, and went over to ask.

"No, the person sent to Xiao's house to monitor Ruizhu has returned, and this is the result." Chu Qing sighed.

"Is she really Nineteenth Aunt?" Zhong Xuan felt confident when he saw her appearance.

"Well, I just don't understand why Aunt Nineteen would take such a big risk to avenge Aunt Seven?" One is Aunt Xiao, and the other is a country girl. Why can't they meet together?This is what Chu Qing doesn't understand the most so far.However, Chu Qing also knew that there was one person who probably knew the ins and outs, and that person was Rui Zhu.

"But no matter what the reason, Nineteenth Aunt still planned to kill Xiao Haocheng and Seventeenth Aunt, didn't she? Xiao Chu, do you still remember what I told you yesterday?" Zhong Xuan said, acting on emotion is a taboo.

Chu Qing shook his head and said: "Brother Zhong, don't worry, I know what to do." She also knew very well that once Nineteenth Auntie found out about the murder of Xiao Haocheng and Seventeenth Auntie, she would be judged according to the law. Beheading, I am afraid that even the Xiao family will not let her go.She just couldn't bear it. Such a young girl, now at her best age, was carrying a grudge, and she didn't hesitate to risk her life to marry into the Xiao family, waiting for an opportunity, just for revenge.It was precisely because Chu Qing knew that the little girl might not be saved that she felt even more regretful and uncomfortable.But she also knows that her duty is to find the murderer, but love and law are beyond her control.

Chu Qing went to Xiao's house, this time she seemed to have decided something, when Steward Xiao hesitated again and asked whether Chu Qing had found the murderer, Chu Qing said to Steward Xiao: "Send someone to invite Liu Madam, Lord Zhen, the old lady came over and said, I want to tell the murderer on the spot." This is probably the only thing she can do for the little girl, Lord Zhen is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, follow the procedure, at least this little girl The girl can live for a while longer, let's see if there is a turning point.

Although Housekeeper Xiao was puzzled, he did so, and soon everyone gathered. In the courtyard of the main courtyard, a bunch of people gathered. Chu Qing originally wanted to find Ruizhu and Nineteenth Aunt first, but she Afraid to scare the snake away, Rui Zhu is a benevolent person, if she doesn't want to cause Nineteen Auntie to commit suicide, on the contrary, she will cost her life in vain.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xiao sat at the head, Mr. Zhen sat beside him rubbing the sweat on his forehead, and from time to time, he glanced at Chu Qing, who was calm and tight, wondering what the hell is going on with Mr. Yu's investigation?Suddenly calling them over rashly, but without saying a word, he was really anxious.

Chu Qing looked at the group of aunts and servants, and finally glanced at Aunt Nineteen inadvertently. The latter looked innocent, but after a closer look, she could still feel the skin at the corners of her mouth was slightly stiff. If you look at it, you can't see clearly.
