Chapter 81 The first clue

It was getting late at this time, and in the hazy dark blue twilight, Jin Xi couldn't distinguish the labyrinth-like paths in the garden of Hongbin Building.Followed closely behind Qin Xiao, almost reaching out to grab his belt, for fear of missing him by mistake.Qin Xiao turned his head and glanced at Jin Xi, who was running and bouncing, and urged her to go quickly, but his own pace slowed down a bit.

I don't know how many times I have been to Qin Xiaohong Binlou, and I know this garden well.He led Jinxi away from the guy who delivered the wine and food, and turned around to the tall wall made of blue bricks.Pushing aside the weeds taller than a person in the corner, he said to Jinxi, "Drill through."

Jin Xi took a look with his head, and was suddenly furious, "You actually let me go through a dog hole?"

"Why don't you crawl over there!" Qin Xiao curled his lips, not thinking that there was anything wrong with letting Jinxi go into the dog's hole, but instead he had the expression of a dog biting Lu Dongbin.

Looking up at the two-foot-high brick wall, Jin Xi bent down resignedly, before her body touched the ground, Qin Xiao grabbed her by the belt and lifted her up.Jin Xi glared at Qin Xiao, not knowing what he was going to do again, Qin Xiao didn't say a word, and stretched out his hand to untie his blue cloak embroidered with gold-edged Ganoderma lucidum patterns, wrapped Jin Xi tightly, and then pushed her towards the dog's cave , lowered his voice and shouted: "Hurry up!"

The half cloak that Qin Xiao wore when riding a horse dragged down to her feet, and there was still the smell of Qin Xiao's body temperature and the smell of the horse and slight sweat on it.Knowing that he was afraid that he would dirty his clothes, he couldn't explain it when he returned home.Jin Xi was moved, but at the same time a little surprised, never thought that Qin Xiao would still be so careful.

But as soon as she lay down on the ground and went into the hole, she heard Qin Xiao giggling behind her and said, "Why don't you take out the things hidden in your waist first, so that such a thick waist won't get stuck in the hole!" The emotion Xi had just gushed out was instantly wiped out, and he secretly cursed that God had no eyes, why didn't he strike the bastard to death with lightning.

Get angry, be angry, and now you still have to ask this bastard.Jin Xi took out the magic weapon of turning a deaf ear again, and crawled forward with hands and feet.Unexpectedly, the courtyard wall of the Hongbin Building is two or three feet thick, and the hole gets smaller as it goes to the front, and it almost gets stuck inside as Qin Xiao said.Jin Xi secretly scolded the pervert at the head of Hongbinlou, why didn't he build the city wall and make it so thick?
With great difficulty, she got out of the washbasin-sized dog hole, pushed aside the wooden plank covering the hole, and faced a narrow alley.On both sides are a few crooked, dilapidated houses, half-collapsed and almost drowned by garbage, obviously unoccupied.

Jin Xi bent down and asked Qin Xiao at the other end of the dog hole, "No one, come here quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Xiao jumped down from the wall with a chic posture, and he did a somersault as if showing off when he landed, and stood firmly in front of Jin Xi. "Is the young master a dog hole?"

Looking at the angry expression on his face, Jin Xi really wanted to kick him to death, but at this moment, he still wanted something from him, so he turned his face away and pretended not to see it, "How can we go?" The voice was a little loud A few night birds perched on the broken roof were frightened, flapped their wings and flew away, making Jinxi tremble with fright.

Qin Xiao covered her mouth and dragged her to the corner for fear that she would cry out.Listening intently to the movements around him, he didn't realize that he had also covered Jin Xi's nose.Jin Xi's eyes turned white, but Qin Xiao had no intention of letting go.Feeling that she was about to suffocate to death, Jin Xi bit his palm hard.

Qin Xiao grinned in pain and didn't let go. He really didn't hear anything else, so he pushed Jinxi away, shook his hands and gasped, pointed at Jinxi's nose and cursed: "You belong to a dog!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." I didn't expect that I couldn't control my strength for a while, and bit Qin Xiao's hand to bleed. Jin Xi apologized, and quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to Qin Xiao, "You Wrap it quickly, don't get infected."

I don't know what Jin Xi meant by infection, but Qin Xiao could hear concern and apology from her tone of voice.His expression softened a little, and he stretched his hand forward, the meaning was self-evident.I don't know if it's a habit of being used by Qin Xiao, or because I feel ashamed, but Jin Xi doesn't feel disgusted at all with his arrogant attitude at this time.Fold the handkerchief to the width of Qin Xiao's palm, and wrap his wound carefully.The handkerchief was too long, and Qin Xiao was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Qin Xiao to reach out, so Jin Xi tied the excess part with a bow on the back of his hand.

Qin Xiao looked at the bow on the back of his hand, and his brows were frowned. Does this girl treat him like a little girl?Jin Xi didn't realize that a bow knot had hurt Qin Xiao's self-esteem as a man, and he couldn't help nagging while fastening the knot, "Go back and wipe it with wine, don't get wet, and finally find a doctor to have a look, don't think it's a small Don't take the injury to heart. A small injury can kill a person."

If someone whispered in his ear, he would turn around and leave even if he didn't kick his foot away, but seeing Jin Xi's pink mouth opening and closing talking to himself, Qin Xiao felt a strange feeling in his heart for some reason. He didn't even notice the warm feeling, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

Coming out of the alley, there were more and more pedestrians on the road. Although they were all rushing home, no one paid attention to the two half-sized children by the side of the road. Qin Xiao still ordered Jinxi to wrap the cloak tightly.In fact, he didn't need to say, Jin Xi also quietly pulled down the hood twice, if she was seen with Qin Xiao, she would be in big trouble!
Turning into another alley, Qin Xiao stepped into a family that was having a funeral.This family seems to be in a reasonable family situation, and the yards of the two entrances are cleaned very clean.He also went directly into the mourning hall without any communication. There were several monks who were chanting scriptures in the mourning hall. The middle-aged man who was watching him was a little surprised when he came in. He waved away everyone in the mourning hall, and then stepped forward to Qin Xiao. Shi Li, "Zhang Chun met the young master, why are you here? Didn't you agree to send him away?"

"She wants to ask that person a few words." Qin Xiao pointed at Jin Xi, and Jin Xi couldn't hide his head and show his tail anymore. He took off his hood and looked up at Zhang Chun. There were several scars criss-crossing across Zhang Chun's face. It's so ruined that you can't see it.At this moment, dressed in sackcloth and wearing a tall filial hat, he looked like Bai Wuchang, and Jin Xi almost screamed.Unexpectedly, the burly Zhang Chun was even more frightened than she was. He took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes widened, and he said in a startled voice: "Feng..."

Apparently Zhang Chun usually had excellent concentration, he blurted out a single word in a sudden shock, and then tried his best to regain his composure. He cupped his hands at Chao Jinxi and walked out of the mourning hall, closing the door of the mourning hall behind him.

Although the door was closed, there were still two windows half-closed. The fires of the incense candles in the room were extinguished by the draft, and the paper streamers hanging on the wall rustled. The goosebumps on the upper and lower sides were raised layer by layer, and they didn't dare to look at the black-painted coffin in the middle of the mourning hall.Not caring about men and women, he put his arms around Qin Xiao's arm and asked tremblingly, "What does he mean by that phoenix?"

Qin Xiao didn't know what that meant. When Shen Chunlin took refuge in Fujian and Guangdong, he accidentally rescued this man. This man followed Shen Chunlin all the way, claiming to be Zhang Chun, but no one knew his origin.If Shen Chunlin hadn't been under surveillance and only had Zhang Chun's rough medical skills in his hands, he wouldn't have let Zhang Chun know about his hidden trouble. "I'll ask for you later. If you have anything to say, tell Niu Shuanzhu first."

Jin Xi looked around, she and Qin Xiao were the only ones in the mourning hall, and there was no sign of Niu Shuanzhu.Qin Xiao pulled his arm out of her hand and jumped onto the altar where the coffin was parked.Seeing him push open the coffin lid, Jin Xi felt like crying, "Are you crazy, you want me to talk to a dead man?"

Qin Xiao glared at her, bent down to help a person out of the coffin, Jin Xi stared dumbfounded at Niu Shuanzhu's whole body wrapped like zongzi being helped out of the coffin by Qin Xiao, he couldn't laugh or cry.Only Qin Xiao would think of hiding a living person in a coffin and offering it in the mourning hall.

"Miss Six, I dare to swear to the sky that I have no intention of harming you. I don't know why the horse was shocked..." Seeing Jin Xi, Niu Shuanzhu's legs gave way, and he fell off the altar and climbed onto Jin Xi's bed. Followed by a vigorous kowtow.

"I know it has nothing to do with you!" The white cloth wrapped around Niu Shuanzhu's stomach was slightly stained with blood, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. Jin Xi was afraid that he would die from too much excitement, so she hurriedly helped him up.

However, Niu Shuanzhu was afraid that Jinxi would just be perfunctory to her, regardless of the open wound on his stomach, he wished to tell all he knew in one breath, "The villain has eaten bad food these days, and he has not been on errand. Zhu Yong came to find the villain, Said that the mansion was not enough, so he asked the villain to take the girl out, but the villain didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, the horse on the way suddenly went crazy, and ran away with the girl. The villain was afraid of losing the girl, so he chased after the car, Seeing that the horse had gone crazy, as soon as the car stopped, a man jumped out of nowhere, got into the car and snatched the girl, and then left. Just as the villain was about to call someone, someone hit the villain with a brick from behind, and the villain jumped out. Passed out. When the villain woke up, it turned out to be on a funeral post outside the city. The people who plotted against the villain thought that the villain was dead, so the villain saved his life.

Later, the villain heard that this man threw the girl in front of Baihualou... This matter really has nothing to do with the villain! "

"Have you seen what that person looks like?" Putting together the fragmentary details, Jin Xi felt that the truth was getting closer and closer to her, but the most important part in the middle was hidden in the fog and she couldn't see clearly.

Niu Shuanzhu shook his head, thought for a long time, but suddenly said: "However, when the man ran, he leaned to the right, as if there was something wrong with his right foot, and his back looked like Xie Momo's youngest son, but the villain didn't see his face. I don’t dare to speculate about matters related to the sky.”

Jin Xi frowned. If the second lady really wanted to ruin her reputation, she could just send a nanny to lead her and pretend to be lost. Why bother putting her hand under the eldest lady's nose, playing tricks to startle her horse and kill people to silence her.

"What symptoms does the horse pulling the cart have when it goes crazy?" Qin Xiao interrupted suddenly, and Niu Shuanzhu thought about it carefully for a moment, as if he had found some important clue, he suddenly raised his voice, "The horse first foamed at the mouth and snorted non-stop, and then I was shocked..."

"Someone fed the lantern plant to the horse!" Qin Xiao and Niu Shuanzhu almost said in unison, and Jin Xi looked at them in confusion, not knowing what the lantern plant was.Seeing this, Qin Xiao explained: "The lantern grass looks a lot like alfalfa. If you eat it, it will make people go crazy. The forage for horses in the army is most afraid of being mixed with this kind of grass. Back then..."

Qin Xiao's voice suddenly darkened, and Jin Xi had a keen intuition that what he said had something to do with Uncle Qing Yuan, but he didn't know what he was referring to.There was no way to persuade him, so he patted his arm lightly to show comfort.
