"Last night, wasn't it Yue Ziyun's mother, Mrs. Yue." The jailer shrugged.

Gu Qi: ......

"Otherwise, who would come to see a death row inmate."

Gu Qi reluctantly asked, "Other than that, are there any other people?" ”

"Nope." The jailer shook his head.

"Then tell me about the situation." Gu Qi stuffed a few taels of silver into his hand again, squeezing his eyebrows.

"Okay then." The jailer smiled.

"It was night, probably just after the end of the day, Mrs. Yue brought the maid over and took a lot of things, I remember that the maid should have taken a food box, and the maid took a futon, and she was in prison and tossed so much, thinking that she was enjoying it." The jailer looked angry, "After they went in, they came out again after a while, and left directly." ”

"That's it?" Gu Qi asked.

"It's up to the individual, what else can I do." The jailer didn't understand.

It seems that there is no problem, except for Mrs. Yue, no other women came to visit the prison, so they guessed wrong?

No, in addition to Mrs. Yue, there is also a maid and a maid, that maid is completely in line with their guesses, the maid is a person in Yue's mansion, so it is natural to know Yue Ziran, and also know Yue Ziyun, and with the identity of the maid, going to visit the prison with Mrs. Yue will not attract attention at all, nor will it make people suspicious.

"Let's go meet the maid for a while."

"The maid?" Hui Qi wrinkled his nose, "You mean to suspect that the maid is the murderer?" ”

"It's just possible."

As soon as Gu Qi finished speaking, Hui Qi almost jumped up, "Amazing!" The love between the young master and the maid! Regardless of the difficulties in the world and the obstacles of identity, they resolutely wanted to be together, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and a big bully appeared! This big bully bullied men and women, and wanted to rob the maid, but the maid resisted to the death, but killed someone by mistake, but he didn't expect the young master to stand up resolutely and choose to protect the life of his beloved woman with his own life! ”

“……”

Gu Qi and Xu Yihua were both speechless.

"Hui Qi." Xu Yihua said, "You usually don't gossip with those long-tongued women, understand?" ”

"Oh."

It was not too early, the street was bustling, Gu Qi asked people about the location of the Yue family's mansion, and several people hurried over.

There was not much time left for them, because Yue Ziyun admitted that he had killed people and buried the corpse, so Zhong Weiyuan directly gave an order to behead him at noon tomorrow to show the public.

If Yue Ziyun is innocent, then they must find out the truth of the matter before noon tomorrow and find out the real murderer.

The Yue family's mansion is now plain, with white silk flowers tied inside and outside the door, and people in and out of the house are wearing white flowers on their heads, wearing linen, and their faces are sad with their heads down.

"Stop, who are you!" The two guards who were still guarding the gate reached out and stopped the three.

"This eldest brother, please tell Mrs. Yue, we have something to see her." Xu Yihua said gently.

"Madame, I don't have time right now." The nurse was impatient, "Madame is sad now, how can I have time to see you." ”

Xu Yihua was not annoyed, and still said gently: "We are the ones who found the body of the second son yesterday, and we are bothering the eldest brother to let us in." ”

"That'...... Well, you guys wait for me. After speaking, he turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he came out again and said, "Come in with me." ”

Entering the house, the sadness inside is even stronger, and a dark coffin is placed in the middle of the hall, which is a fine pineapple wood, carved before and after, faintly revealing a sense of luxury.

"Gu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi, Huiqi Little Master."

A servant came out of the inner hall with a gloomy face, but he bowed respectfully to the three of them.

As soon as he heard the other party call himself a little master, Hui Qi's heart was like a happy flower, he was very happy, and while pleasing to the eyes, he also had a good impression of Mrs. Yue. is worthy of Yue Ziyun's family, and even the subordinates in the family are so educated.

"Madame is not feeling well, it is inconvenient to come out to meet guests, and I invite the three of them to enter the inner hall with the villain."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Qi nodded, and the three of them followed the little maid into the inner hall.

In the inner hall, Mrs. Yue was sitting on the main seat, wearing plain clothes to completely bring out her weakness, but what surprised Gu Qi and them was the other party's eyes, which were covered by a white cloth, and the position of the eyes was faintly black.

"Ah, Mrs. Yue, your eyes!" Hui Qi is still young, he can't hide the words in his mouth, and he pops out directly when he wants to say something.

Gu Qi quietly knocked on her head, Hui Qi reacted, and immediately realized that he couldn't ask nonsense, so he quickly covered his mouth in fright.

Mrs. Yue bit her lip lightly, as if she was enduring sadness, and she also held a white handkerchief in her hand, which was used to wipe the potion that flowed down the corners of her eyes: "Lang Zhong said that I was too sad, and if I cried again, this eye would be ruined, so I decocted the medicine and used it to apply to my eyes." ”

"Please also ask Mrs. Yue to mourn the change." Xu Yihua said.

Mrs. Yue smiled miserably: "My children are dead, what do I still do." ”

"Isn't Yue Ziyun still there?" Gu Qi asked.

"Still?" Mrs. Yue smiled again, but became more and more sad, "It's just that it's still there, and ...... tomorrow."

"Madam, Lang Zhong said you can't cry anymore." A woman beside Mrs. Yue, who was also wearing plain clothes, mourned and persuaded, "Please also take care of your body." ”

"Mrs. Yue." Gu Qi said slowly, "I want to ask Madame, do you think Yue Ziyun will be the murderer of his younger brother?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Mrs. Yue said very surely, she paused, and hesitated, "Actually, what kind of character is Ran'er, I, the mother, know best, if he is killed, although I am surprised and sad, but I am not surprised, but Yun'er, he will never kill!" ”

Xu Yihua said: "To be honest, we are here for this matter today. ”

Gu Qi said: "Yes, if the eldest prince didn't kill his younger brother, then the murderer is someone else." ”

"Ahh Mrs. Yue covered her mouth and exclaimed, her face couldn't help but burst out with some joy, and she said hopefully, "Then my son can be released?" ”

"Not yet." Gu Qi had to break Mrs. Yue's hope, "He has already been convicted, unless we find out the real murderer." ”

"Who the hell is the real murderer!" Mrs. Yue stood up excitedly and wanted to move to the source of the sound, but the maid beside her hurriedly reached out to support her.

Gu Qi shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Mrs. Yue's face darkened suddenly, she sat back in her chair and bit her lip: "Isn't that ...... Isn't it...... My son ...... tomorrow."

"Mrs. Yue, if we look for the murderer now, we still have a glimmer of hope, if we give up now and do nothing, there will be no hope for so long, so I hope that Mrs. can cooperate with our questioning and find out the murderer."

"If you ask, I will fully cooperate." Mrs. Yue nodded again and again.

"Did you visit Master Yue in prison yesterday?"

"Yes."

"Who did you bring along?"

"Jia Ling and Liansheng."

Mrs. Yue pointed to the two beside her.

The three of them followed her hand and looked over.

Jia Ling is the maid who persuaded her to pay attention to her body before, she has beautiful eyebrows, she looks like she is only two years old, her eyes are slightly red, and she is wearing a plain long skirt with a bit of agility.

And that Liansheng is the little guy who led him to the back hall in the courtyard, with good facial features, although he is not short, but he is a little thin.

"I was worried that Yun'er would not have a good time in prison at night, so I asked them to bring food and mattresses to my son." Mrs. Yue sighed.

"They are all people who serve the eldest prince?" Gu Qi asked.

Mrs. Yue nodded: "Exactly, they have followed Yun'er since they were children. ”

Gu Qi stood up, paced in front of the two, and swept his gaze over Jia Ling: "Miss Jia Ling, I want to ask you, what is your relationship with the second son on weekdays?" ”

"No, it's not good." Jia Ling glanced at Mrs. Yue and said in a low voice.

"Why not?" Gu Qi asked.

"Second son...... On weekdays, he likes light maids in the house, and few maids in the house will like him. ”

"That's true." Mrs. Yue said gloomily.

"Then what is your relationship with the eldest prince?" Gu Qi then asked.

Jia Ling said: "I have been accused of serving the eldest son since I was a child, and my relationship is naturally very good. And the eldest prince is kind and treats his subordinates well, never holding a stand, and people up and down the house like him. ”

"What else?"

"What is your relationship beyond that?" Gu Qi didn't have the slightest intention of hiding it, and asked directly.

"You ......" a shy flush appeared on Jia Ling's face, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"There's a cloud word embroidered on your purse." Gu Qi pointed to her purse, "And your handkerchief is also embroidered with auspicious clouds, not flowers like ordinary women, mandarin ducks." ”

"I ...... I ......" Jia Ling bit her lip and was overwhelmed.

"Please be honest with you." Gu Qi condensed his gaze, and the gaze that was like a substance shot directly into Jia Ling's heart like a sharp sword.

"I just...... Childe he didn't know...... I'm just delusional......" Jia Ling said this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she remembered that her son-in-law was going to be beheaded tomorrow.

"On the day the eldest prince came home, did you ever go out of the city?" Gu Qi asked.

Jia Ling was stunned for a moment, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "Do you doubt me...... Not me! ”

"We didn't say you were the murderer, we just asked, you don't have to worry, just tell the truth." Xu Yihua comforted softly.

"I didn't go out of town...... But that day, because Childe was coming back, I went to the street to buy things for Childe. Jia Ling said.

"How long have you been out of the house?"

"About two hours." Jia Ling looked at Liansheng in a panic, "Liansheng knows this, there were too many things that day, I really couldn't get it, I happened to meet Liansheng who went out to look for me, and he helped me carry things in." ”

Lian Sheng nodded hurriedly: "That day it was indeed so. ”

Two hours, if you are fast, it is barely enough to go back and forth.

"I ...... The stores I bought from must still remember me! Jia Ling was about to cry.

Gu Qi made a color to Hui Qi, and Hui Qi immediately pulled Jia Ling to collect evidence.

The little bald head has been getting easier and easier to use lately.

"Mrs. Yue, I don't know what the eldest prince likes to write about on weekdays?" Gu Qi asked.

Mrs. Yue thought for a moment and said: "In addition to going to the shops to inspect and go home, he only goes to Chunyi Garden to socialize at most, and rarely goes to other places. ”

Chunyi Garden?

Gu Qi frowned slightly, this must be a place like the Qinglou Red Courtyard that can be inferred from the name, if he has a good relationship there, it is normal, it seems that he will also start to check over there.

When Hui Qi and Jia Ling came back together, they told Gu Qi that the other party really didn't lie, she did not go out of the city gate that day, but bought things on the street. In this big shop in Zhaoyuan County, there are few people who don't know Jia Ling next to Yue Ziyun, and it is easy to help the other party prove it.

Gu Qi touched his chin, in this way, Jia Ling's clue is broken, this large group of people have been busy for so long, and they have done useless work.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Yue, the three of them returned to the yamen, Zhong Weiyuan was dealing with official business, and it was inconvenient for them to go to disturb, just wait for the evening, Chunyiyuan opened the door, so that they could go in to inquire about the news.

If he borrowed the officials of the county government, he would probably be able to find out soon, but Gu Qi always had a faint sense of crisis, he was worried that he would be burned and eventually implicate the people around him.

When you're done dealing with this side of things, leave immediately.

As soon as it was dark, Hui Qi couldn't wait to pull the two of them to run towards Chunyi Garden.

Why is it that every time I go to a new place, the case is always related to the Qinglou.

Xu Yihua thought about this question silently.

As soon as he entered, Gu Qi didn't see what was going on inside, but he saw a lot of flowers in front of him, and in a trance, he was pulled by someone who didn't know who he was, and the tip of his nose smelled of sticky fat powder.

"Ouch, three masters, look at the eyes, do you want your mother to introduce you to a few girls who can serve people for the first time?"

"Ha Qiu - Ha Qiu - Ha Qiu Ha Qiu!" Gu Qi sneezed several times in a row, frightening his mother Sang to hide far away.

Seeing that Gu Qi was no longer sneezing, his mother Sang smiled and twisted her waist again: "This master, what kind of girl do you like, this Chunyi Garden, there are all ~"

"We're not looking for a girl today." Xu Yihua's side was also surrounded by flowers, his face was blue, and he looked at Gu Qi who was tired of his mother Sang, desperately squeezing this side.

Huiqi ......

Touching the girls' bodies with a look of enjoyment.

Mother Sang was finally squeezed over by Xu Yihua, who was finally squeezed over, and finally stood firm, and she was not angry, looking at the two people who were leaning together, she rolled her eyes and smiled: "Don't look for a girl?" ”

"Don't look for it." Gu Qi pulled the handkerchief from Xu Yihua's arms and covered his nose.

No wonder Yue Ziyun and Yue Ziran want to go to Jiangcheng to find a girl, this Qinglou in Zhaoyuan County is really not the same grade as Jiangcheng.

"Hehe, I see, I see."

Gu Qi looked at Hui Qi, who was sticking his head into the chest of a girl in yellow, and said to his mother: "Find two girls for her to serve, we don't want girls." ”

"Okay, mom understands." Mother Sang looked at the two of them with strange eyes, "Two uncles, please sit down, I'll come when I go." ”

Sitting down, Gu Qi was still a little frightened, this Chunyiyuan's combat power was too strong, it was impossible to guard against it, he looked at Xu Yihua, and the other party's face was not very good.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qi said suspiciously.

Xu Yihua sat down, held a teacup in his hand, and took a sip fiercely: "I'm fine." ”

Reaching out and pouring himself a glass of water, Gu Qi tasted it lightly, and suddenly his face changed, he glanced at Xu Yihua, who found nothing, and couldn't help but whistle.

Xu Yihua glanced at him.

Gu Nian pointed to the teacup in his hand: "There is an aphrodisiac/medicine in it." ”

"Huh?!" Xu Yihua was so frightened that he shook his hand and threw the teacup out at once.

The other party's reaction made Gu Qi seriously doubt that when he was in Jiangcheng before, he fell from the second floor and broke his brain.

Just thinking of this, I suddenly heard a sticky laugh behind me: "Second master, look at what your mother has brought you?" ”

Before Gu Qi and Xu Yihua looked back, they felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, and two soft and boneless arms wrapped around their necks, blowing softly in their ears: "Master, will I serve you?" ”

"It's okay if the second master doesn't look for a girl today~" Mama Sang's voice was still sweet and greasy, "My little one here is also famous~"

Gu Qi and Xu Yihua's bodies stiffened suddenly. 166 Reading Network
