Chapter Forty-Seven: Qiu Qi Suddenly Visits
CHAPTER XLVII
Regarding the special secret of the aged osmanthus brew they drank at the banquet in the Song Mansion, Chu Jing just smiled lightly and did not explain.
Deng Si'er couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked repeatedly on the way back to the academy, but he didn't get a positive answer from Chu Jing, but Chu Jing's mysterious expression, which made Deng Si'er even more itchy.
"Okay, Uncle Jing doesn't tell us, he must have his own intentions, so don't chase him like this."
Although Zuo Zhi was also very curious in his heart, what Chu Jing found in the jar of osmanthus brew, but Chu Jing was reluctant to elaborate at this time, so there was no need to ask, and when the time came, Chu Jing would definitely explain it to the two of them.
Deng Si'er saw that Zuo Idiot had said this, so he obediently stepped aside and pouted, and walked towards the academy behind Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing.
Deng Si'er looked around the street while walking, and when he walked through the gate of Tuzhou City and County, he suddenly saw a large group of people surrounded by a large group of people in front of the notice board outside the gate of the county government.
"Hey! Why do you see so many people over there? Deng Si'er strangely put down a sentence and ran towards the notice board.
Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing were walking in front, and when they heard Deng Si'er's voice, they immediately turned around to look, and saw that Deng Si'er had already run towards the notice board outside the county yamen, so they followed him closely, and the master walked quickly towards the notice board.
Deng Si'er ran to the bulletin board and squeezed from the crowd, squeezing and squeezing, and Deng Si'er, who was thin and flexible, squeezed to the innermost part of the crowd, he tilted his head and looked at a notice posted on the bulletin board.
While looking at it, I wondered, what was written in it that attracted so many ordinary people to stop and watch?
Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing stood at the outermost end of the crowd, seeing that Deng Si'er had already squeezed in, and Deng Si'er's head could be seen shaking from time to time, but the two of them didn't want to squeeze in, so they stood outside and waited for Deng Si'er to come out.
It didn't take long for Deng Si'er to wave at them and squeeze out of the crowd again.
"There are too many people in Huhu, but they can squeeze me to death." As soon as Deng Si'er stood in front of Chu Jing and Zuo Jing, he began to complain that there were many people, and Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing were helpless for a while.
"What's wrong? Why so many people? ”
Zuo Idiot rarely saw so many people surrounded by the notice board in front of the official mansion in the capital, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Deng Si'er looked up at Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing, straightened up and smoothed out, before saying with surprise on his face:
"Do you know that water bandit who kills people and overkills goods, and does all kinds of evil, Dou Ba? Good guy, he was arrested by the government in Tuzhou! I saw that the notice said that he would be cut off the day after tomorrow! ”
"Dou Ba? He was actually caught by the government? Chu Jing was also a rare surprise.
"Yes, yes! I've heard others say that that Dou Ba is simply black-hearted, not to mention murder and robbery, he even dared to rob the government's grain ship, which was the rations for the relief of the victims the year before last! It's really lawless. ”
When Deng Si'er said this, he was also the same as those people who were not next to the notice board, pointing to the vicious portrait of Dou Ba on the notice board, and abusing and accusing.
Zuo Idiot frowned secretly when he heard this, this Dou Ba, Zuo Idiot is no stranger. The year before last, there was a great drought in the north of Xining, and the grain harvest was small, so the imperial court was sympathetic to the victims and issued a large amount of money and grain relief, but was robbed by this Dou Ba on the way.
This incident alarmed the entire Xining Dynasty, the emperor was furious, and the people of the world were also discussing, and the court used a lot of soldiers and horses to clear it, but unexpectedly Dou Ba escaped and lost his trace.
Dou Ba, how could he suddenly be caught by the Tuzhou Mansion?
"Hey! Don't say it, this Song Yuqiu became the governor of Tuzhou, and he still has some deeds, like Dou Ba, a traitor deserves to be beheaded and shown to the public! Song Yuqiu can be regarded as able to export evil anger for the people! ”
Deng Si'er came to the spirit at this time, and spoke vigorously, but Deng Si'er's words were not wrong, not to mention that there were so many people around who were also discussing, Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing simply didn't care.
When the three of them continued to return to the academy, Chu Jing glanced at the notice board that had already been dispersed by some of the people.
From the gap in the crowd, Chu Jing clearly saw the portrait of Dou Ba posted on the notice board.
Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er walked side by side, Deng Si'er was still talking about Dou Ba endlessly, and neither of them saw Chu Jing's subtle movements.
It wasn't until he entered the gate of the academy that Deng Si'er began to quiet down.
"Huh? Isn't that Qiu Qi? What is he doing in our courtyard? ”
When the three of them walked into the courtyard, they saw Qiu Qi sitting on the small table in the courtyard, looking in a trance, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
When Qiu Qi heard the noise, he immediately turned his head to look over, and when he saw that it was Deng Si'er and they were back, he immediately stood up and walked towards the three of them.
"I take the liberty to come and disturb, and I ask the three of you to bear with me."
"It's okay, it's okay, why are you here? Waited, right? Deng Si'er has always had a good impression of Qiu Qi, and said with a smile that he didn't mind at all.
Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing also smiled and nodded.
But Qiu Qi was standing in front of them, hesitating.
"Young Master Qiu, if you have anything to say, you might as well talk about it in the house." After Zuo Zhi finished speaking, he bypassed Qiu Qi and went to open the door.
"Okay." Qiu Qi nodded, and followed Zuo Idiot towards the house.
Deng Si'er turned his head and glanced at Chu Jing in confusion, and asked:
"Qiu Qi, what's wrong?"
Chu Jing also shook his head and said:
"I don't know, look what he says."
When Deng Si'er and Chu Jing also entered Zuo's house, they closed the door. The three of them all looked at Qiu Qi, who wanted to speak and stopped, and did not speak.
"I want to come and go, I should still come to you, I know you're looking into the case, so"
As he was talking, Qiu Qi suddenly stopped and untied the clothes on his right shoulder.
The three of them were all shocked when they saw it clearly.
"What's going on? How did you get hurt?! Deng Si'er looked at the thick bandage on Qiu Qi's right shoulder oozing bright red blood, and with a low snort, he was about to step forward to check.
Qiu Qi raised his left hand to block Deng Si'er, closed his shirt and said:
"The wound has been treated, it's just a skin injury, it's not a big deal, it will heal after a period of rest, as for the cause of the injury"
Qiu Qi glanced at the three people in front of him as he spoke, and finally said:
"High Chisalei"
Thousands of miles away?!
The three of them were stunned again, how could it be Gao Qianli? Isn't Gao Qianli dead?
Qiu Qi looked at the obviously mistaken expressions of the three people in front of him, and explained:
"It's not Gao Qianli, the reason why I was injured was because I cleaned the room where I wanted to go to Gao Qianli the day before yesterday to remember, but I met a gangster in his room."
"You were cut in the shoulder by the gangster?" Deng Si'er asked.
Qiu Qi nodded, and said:
"I thought he was just a thief, but I saw him rummaging around the room, as if looking for something, and there was nothing left in the room. I think something is wrong, but there is no evidence, and the government will not pay attention to it, so I thought of coming to you. ”
I see
Qiu Qi felt a lot more at ease after saying the matter, sat for a while, and then got up and left under a few words of advice from Deng Si'er and Chu Jing.
As soon as Qiu Qi left, the faces of the three people in the room immediately sank.
Gao Qianli, but he is the leader of the entire potion shady transaction in the academy!
What was that man looking for when he sneaked into Gao Qianli's room?
