When Sanqi heard this, he stretched out his hand to take it in a daze.

At the same time, the onlookers on the shore of the bridge also scattered, but in a few moments, only a few people remained on the side of the bridge. Su Yu didn't look at Ruosheng anymore, and led the people forward.

Ruosheng breathed a sigh of relief, after such an incident, she didn't dare to sit down against the bridge railing at will, and thought that someone had been sent to the gambling house to meet Wu Liang, and it would not be a matter of time before the fish was hooked, so she had no intention of continuing to stay, so she said to Hu Qiuniang: "Let's go back first." ”

Now that we have arrived in Pingzhou, many things are not in a hurry.

However, on the way back to the house, she kept thinking that the person she saw when she left the capital that day was indeed Su Yu, but why did he come to Wanghu Town so coincidentally? She thought, entered the door, looked up at the camellia on the side of the path, and suddenly her steps stopped.

She didn't even remember that Su Yu served in the Criminal Department, and it was rumored that he was a very powerful person, and this time there were murders in Pingzhou again and again, and it was very likely that the upper authorities sent him to investigate the case.

Thinking of this, Ruosheng's complexion changed slightly.

Hu Qiuniang watched from the side, and asked worriedly, "Girl, but where did you bump into it before?" ”

Ruosheng came back to his senses, shook his head, and then suddenly turned his head to look at her, frowned, and said, "Those murders in Pingzhou all happened in Wanghu Town?" ”

"This ......" Hu Qiuniang paused, her face changed rapidly, and after a moment, she changed to a relaxed smile, "It's been rumored all over the place, but where it happened and who died, not many people know." ”

Ruosheng's eyes flashed slightly, "This is it." ”

If not, how could she pause.

Hu Qiuniang listened to her gradually affirmative tone, and she also knew that she was exposed, so she could only sigh softly and said: "The news sent back by the people outside is indeed Wanghu Town. ”

Ruosheng was not surprised: "There is only one Wanghu Town." In less than two months, there were five homicides? ”

"yes." Hu Qiuniang has seen a big scene, but she has heard of such a thing. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Ruosheng was silent for a moment, and then continued to raise his feet and move forward. Secretly, my aunt was very confident in her courage, and she was not afraid that she would run back to the capital for a while after knowing these things, and she didn't care whether Lao Shizi had experienced it or not.

She walked slowly back to the house, lifted the curtain and entered, and saw the green banana making the bed.

The windows were wide open, and the wind outside blew in gusts of air, bringing with it the coolness of the afternoon. Pingzhou is slightly colder than Beijing. The sun seemed to set a little earlier. Ruosheng only stood by the window for a while, and then he felt cold on his body, and he couldn't help but close the window.

Before she left home, Zhu specially told her to bring two thicker clothes, which can be seen to be useful.

When it was time to hold the lamp, the green banana had already taken out the thickest body and let her put it on.

She was wrapped like early spring, so she didn't bother to go out, so she only asked the kitchen to send someone to bring food up and put it on the kang table.

Just a few simple dishes are served on small plates and brushed on the kang table. She didn't have to be waited by anyone, she picked up the chopsticks and pulled down half a bowl of rice. It's rare to go out, maybe it's a lot of movement. She had a great appetite and used a lot of it in one go.

The green banana was afraid that she would accumulate food on the side, but he didn't dare to persuade her, so he asked, "Girl, do you want to prepare some snacks at night?" ”

The implication is to use less for now, and if you are hungry at night, you can continue to use snacks.

If he understood it, he smiled: "That's it." Tomorrow you have to go out early in the morning, so you don't have to prepare food at night. ”

The voice fell. There was a soft knock on the door outside, "Tuk Tuk-"

Hu Qiuniang went to open the door. After a while, he came in and said, "Girl, the person who went to the gambling house today has returned." ”

"Oh?" If he was interested, he put down his chopsticks, asked people to remove the dishes, and walked out with his shoes down, "Let people go downstairs and wait." ”

There happens to be a small building in this house, two floors up and down, not high, and the place is not big, but Ruosheng feels that he lives in a high house, has a wide view, and is in a happy mood, so he prepares the room upstairs as a bedroom. As for the downstairs, it is used to meet people and do errands.

It's just that the house is higher, and the wind seems to be stronger.

As soon as he walked to the bottom of the porch, a cold night wind hit his face, and people were shocked in an instant.

Ruosheng covered his face and looked sideways, the stars in the sky were unusually bright, twinkling and flashing, as if someone was staring at him, and he rubbed his cheek hard, and then let go of his hand and took a deep breath and continued to walk up the stairs.

Then, go downstairs and enter the door again.

The people waiting inside got up to greet them, and saluted with the words "three girls", and then said excitedly: "Then Wu Liang, it is really as the girl expected, and he has taken the bait." ”

Ruosheng sat down and asked, "How much did you borrow?" ”

"Back to the girl, a total of two hundred taels."

After all, Wanghu Town is just a town, and if you can borrow two hundred taels as soon as you make a move, you are already a person with extremely rich money.

Ruosheng bowed his head, smiled, and then asked, "What about the IOU?" ”

"I wrote it and pressed my handprint, so Wu Liang was dizzy, and he didn't even look at it and signed it."

"Forgive him for seeing it in vain." Ruosheng sneered, spread his hand, and raised his white jade-like palm to the person who stood at the bottom and replied, "Bring the IOU and show me." ”

"Yes." With the voice, a piece of paper was put in Hu Qiuniang's hand, and then handed to Ruosheng through Hu Qiuniang.

A light and fluttery one, with little weight.

Ruosheng looked down carefully, Wu Liang's handwriting was not as sloppy as she expected, but quite skilled, only the ink around him was dripping, and he must have been extremely anxious and anxious when writing.

She ordered slowly, "Go and sharpen the ink." ”

Everyone did not doubt him, and immediately went to prepare pen and ink and sent it up. After a short period of ink, she picked a pen and dipped it in the inkstone, and wrote another IOU without thinking.

The two IOUs were almost identical, except for the previous one, which said two hundred taels.

And on the one written after his death, it is clearly written that he borrowed two thousand taels!

Hu Qiuniang saw it next to her, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Girl, what is this for?" ”

Ruosheng said: "For a gambler, it's only two hundred taels, so he must not be afraid, but two thousand taels, even if he wants to, then he has to think about it carefully, the left and right are used to bluff people, why not scare more?" ”

"But the signature on the top ......" Hu Qiuniang hesitated, and saw Ruosheng suddenly turn the two IOUs up and down.

Immediately afterwards, she copied the IOU written later, according to Wu Liang's upside-down signature on another IOU borrowing two hundred taels.

The people below looked at it and were all confused.

Only Hu Qiuniang was the closest, and she saw it most clearly, and at the same time she was even more surprised.

I saw Ruosheng write a few strokes, put the pen dripping ink in his hand on the pen stand, and poured the two IOUs back again, and the two signatures on them were exactly the same!

Hu Qiuniang took a breath and looked at it again, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the signatures on the two IOUs were exactly the same.

She looked at Ruosheng in surprise, she didn't expect her own girl to make such a move.

At this time, the people below also saw it clearly and were surprised.

Ruosheng only said indifferently: "Ming'er went to Wu Liang's house early in the morning to ask for debts." ”

"Girl, are you going too?" Hu Qiuniang asked.

"Naturally, I'm going, and I'll call me up when I let the green banana go."

Hu Qiuniang was stunned, and the people in the house gradually retreated.

But early the next morning, before the hour came, he didn't wait for the green banana to call, and if he was born, he woke up first. She lay there, watching the light rain pass through the azure cicada wing veil on the window, slightly distracted. The biological mother of the bird slave was originally a dancing girl, and although she later became Wu Liang's concubine, she was despised when she was favored, and she died if she was not favored.

Coupled with the woman's disgust, it is very likely that a broken mat will be lost away.

She could barely remember what happened after her biological mother died, and many of the things she later speculated on herself.

Ruosheng sighed, took his gaze back from the window screen, put his hands back, and sat up straight slowly.

Hearing the sound, Hu Qiuniang and Lujiao, who were resting on the couch in the house, also immediately opened their eyes and woke up. Both of them looked at her, and when they saw that she was already getting up, they couldn't help but be frightened, and they hurriedly put on their clothes and got up.

After a period of chaos, Ruosheng ate two vegetarian buns with a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, then changed his shoes and prepared to go out.

The carriage was already waiting outside the door, and it was Lao Wu who drove the car.

Lao Wu is the oldest in this group, and the one who followed Ruosheng out was naturally him.

Ruosheng glanced at him before he got into the carriage.

He grinned, "Girl, be careful. ”

Ruosheng also smiled and greeted him: "Old Wu, I look good today." ”

"The girl laughs, what kind of spirit do you talk about when you're small." He held the reins of the horse, his eyes rolling.

Ruosheng smiled, did not continue to speak, and turned to get into the carriage. As soon as the curtain fell, there was no smile on her face. When Hu Qiuniang and Lujiao also got into the carriage, the expression on her face relaxed a little.

"Drive-"

The car spun around and sped off along the long street.

Ruosheng leaned against the window and looked out, everywhere he saw was green grass and red flowers, and the air in Wanghu Town was filled with all kinds of rich and fragrant aromas.

How can there be one death after another in such a place?

She bit her lip and looked away to the other side.

The carriage had reached the trail and was soon unable to enter.

Wu Liang's family lives in a remote place, and the narrow road can only walk people, not drive. Ruosheng didn't plan to go in, so he only asked the carriage to stop outside, and then instructed Lao Wu to go to Wu Liang's house with the guards who went to the gambling house yesterday, and directly asked Wu Liang's daughter-in-law for silver.

If she says no, then she drags them out and them to the wagon. (To be continued) R655
