"Eh, have you all heard, there is another murder in the capital!"

"How can you not hear of such a big thing, you said that it has only been a long time, and another official has died, and the capital has not been peaceful recently. ”

"But it's not, I don't know what kind of evil luck those people have committed......

……

The morning light was slightly dewed, and the people in the Baicao Hall were already busy in an orderly manner, and Su Qi listened to the conversation of several subordinates before he pushed the door out.

There was another murder? This kind of thing changed in the past, she would not deliberately pay attention to it, but when she heard that it was an official who died, she couldn't help but think of the Lord He who had a relationship in the teahouse before and finally died inexplicably, and Qing'an Hou, who she has been paying close attention to recently. Is there some kind of connection between these people?

summoned Cuiluo and asked her to go to Haosheng to inquire about matters related to the murder, and then Su Qi went out with Hongcalyx on the pretext of visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Su Qingyuan promised to let her stay, and listened to her suggestion to allow her to secretly visit the Prime Minister's Mansion, but gave her a chance to go out openly, but Su Qingyuan didn't know that she was not interested in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which symbolized glory and wealth.

"Miss, where are we going today?" Hongcao has always liked to go out, and the smile on her face did not stop after getting on the soft sedan car.

"Fu Ping Street. Su Qi spit out three words lightly, but the expression on his face was a little solemn.

She doesn't have much time, and if she doesn't find out the purpose of Su Qingyuan's visit to Beijing this time, her heart will hang high for a day. Qing'an Houfu is well guarded, even if she buys Ya Po's servants to infiltrate Qing'an Houfu, she can't get any important news for a while, so she has to start with the old man in Qing'an Houfu.

Hongcao frowned and thought for a moment before he suddenly opened his mouth: "Miss asked our people to investigate the old people who have worked in Qing'an Houfu for many years, and one of them lives in Fuping Street, and the slave remembers the information of that person, and calls him Uncle Zhou, and now he has both children and daughters, and he can care for the elderly at home with peace of mind." ”

"yes, but we didn't visit him openly this time. Su Qi muttered, only to feel full of thoughts lingering in his heart.

In the past, Su Qi had never left Jiangnan, and most of her understanding of the affairs of the powerful in the capital came from books, but she was not unaware of the truth that 'what you get on paper is shallow'. This time I must be extremely cautious in my contact with Uncle Zhou.

Fuping Street is not far away, but the kung fu master and servant of a stick of incense have already arrived at the corner of the street, and they found an excuse to get rid of the guards sent by the driver and Su Qingyuan to protect Su Qi's safety, and the two went straight to Uncle Zhou's residence.

"According to investigation, the old man rarely goes out this week, how should we get close to him......" Hongcao couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart, but when she caught a glimpse of Su Qi's indifferent look, her heart was a lot more settled. Although it seems quite difficult to do this time, she believes that with her own lady in person, the problem will be solved.

"One of Uncle Zhou's sons opened a teahouse on Fuping Street, so let's start here. Su Qi said as she motioned for the red calyx to come over with her ear, and whispered a few words in her ear, and the master and servant walked forward quickly.

Uncle Zhou's residence is extremely simple, but Su Qi always feels that this is deliberate, it seems that he doesn't want to receive too much attention.

The blue-gray low wall, the simple and heavy gate, and the two lanterns with simple patterns, looking at all this in front of him, the red calyx raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"It is said that there are both children and daughters, why is the residence so crude. The red calyx muttered in a low voice, glanced at Su Qi, and saw that Su Qi had no orders, so he knocked on the door that was very thick with the naked eye.

The door opened unhurriedly, and it was an elderly man who opened the door. The old man didn't ask questions immediately after opening the door, but just looked at the red calyx with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes.

"May I ask if this is Uncle Zhou Huazhou's house?" Hongcao opened his mouth with a smile.

The old man's eyes rolled unhurriedly a few times before he replied yes.

"That's right, a few days ago, my young lady dropped an extremely valuable jade pendant in Zhou Gongzi's teahouse, and after many inquiries, I learned that I was fortunate to be picked up by Zhou Gongzi. My young lady has a lot of inconvenience when she goes out, and today I finally got the opportunity to find the teahouse, but I was told by Zhou Gongzi that he would fall on his father Uncle Zhou, so he came to bother. "The red calyx really looks like it's a bad thing.

Su Qi put on a sad face at the right time, and should look at the old man.

"I am Zhou Hua. The old man's face did not change in the slightest, and he paused before saying, "If this is the case, it is not a difficult matter. Where did I leave that jade pendant?"

"Uncle, you are really kind-hearted! Zhou Gongzi also said that he would come to pick it up in person, but the business in the teahouse was too busy, and my young lady didn't want to trouble him too much because of this matter, so he proposed to come to your old man to find it in person. Zhou Gongzi only said that he put the jade pendant in the ...... Look at my memory, miss, do you remember where Zhou Gongzi said he put it?"

Su Qi frowned and tried his best to make a reminiscing look, but his brows became tighter and tighter, and his eyes became more and more red, "I, I can't remember it either." ”

"What can I do about this? You have a limited time to go out, and the jade pendant is your personal belonging, so you must find it back immediately, but if you go to find Zhou Gongzi now, the time will be too late, oops! How can this be good!"

"Well, you two wait here first, and I'll look for it. After the old man finished speaking, he saw that the two women outside the door were already crying.

"If Madame knew that Miss had lost the jade pendant, she would definitely break Miss's leg. The red calyx bit her lip and made a look of holding back tears, and looked at the old man pitifully.

The two pieces of flesh hanging on the old man's cheeks trembled slightly, and he seemed to be a little unbearable, "That's it, you guys also come in and look for it together, but don't mess things up." ”

"Thank you Uncle Zhou, you are really a good man!" the master and servant hurriedly saluted the old man gratefully, and then entered the house with both legs raised.

Jade pendant, naturally there is none, in the direction that the old man can't see, Su Qi and Hongcao glanced at each other, and then changed to a anxious look. To do a full set of plays, this is Su Qi's principle.

As long as you enter the house, there are more things you can do, and the red calyx followed the old man to look for it in the house, while Su Qi took a slow step and fell behind.

"Oops!"

Before the old man had even stepped into his son's room, he heard an exclamation from behind him. hurriedly turned around, but saw the woman dressed as a young lady falling to the ground, and her beautiful face was already full of fear at this time, and it was terrifyingly white!.
