The person Qing Shu saved was none other than Mrs. Xiao's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhu's son, Zhu Qianying's second brother, Zhu Zhiheng. Speaking of Zhu Zhiheng, when it comes to the Zhu family, the relationship between the members of the family is intricate and complicated. Such a person will naturally have many contradictions.

Previously, when Qingshu was invited by Zhu Qianying to go to Zhu's mansion as a guest, it happened to be when Zhu Zhiheng received family law. Although Qing Shu didn't see this matter in person, and he didn't gossip about it, there was no shortage of people in the world who chewed the root of their tongues for a short time.

At the time of the marriage of the daughter in the Xiao Mansion, where relatives and friends gather in the Xiao Mansion and the guests come and go, where will there be less well-informed people and people with good deeds. How Zhu Zhiheng is subject to family law and how Master Zhu looks down on his son Zhu Zhiheng Many people whispered to each other. In this way, Qing Shu also heard some of it more or less. plus a Yu Yun who moved forward when he saw something, it was difficult for Qingshu to know those rumors.

When Master Zhu was angry, he refused to ask his son for a doctor. After receiving the letter, Lord Xiao invited the doctor to go over to see the injury of his cousin Zhu Zhiheng, and scolded Master Zhu bitterly. Even this matter was not hidden from someone with a heart, and was shaken out. Qing Shu heard about it, but he didn't know.

It's just that Zhu Zhiheng, who was supposed to be recuperating in Zhu's Mansion, suddenly appeared in a big pit on the side of the road in the wild, covered in blood. He was subjected to family law, tortured with a cane, and had a terrible injury to his buttocks, but he should not have been covered in blood, let alone a knife wound to his chest. This is the reason why Xiao Huan pointed out that the injured person was Zhu Zhiheng, and Qing Shu felt that things were strange.

Luo San checked the scene, and Zhu Zhiheng, who was seriously injured and unconscious, did not escape to the pit by himself, but was thrown into the pit by others. The reason is simple.

If Zhu Zhiheng escaped into the pit by himself, he would definitely leave traces of blood along the route he escaped. But in fact, there were no such bloodstains, only large and coagulated blood stains in the large pit where he had laid. In addition, there are rut marks and horseshoe prints on the official road on the edge of the big pit, as well as a few drops of blood that are not very obvious. These few drops of blood on the official road should have been left by someone when they threw Zhu Zhiheng into the pit.

According to the freezing of Cheng Dù and Zhu Zhiheng's bodies with blood stains in the pit, Luo San guessed that the time when Zhu Zhiheng was thrown into the pit was roughly about the end of the day before dawn to the end of the day. Fortunately, Qingshu and the others hurried away early today, and they went out of the county seat of Dexian County one after the other with Xiao Zhi, who was married. Fortunately, Zhu Zhiheng woke up, and happened to crawl out of the pit when Qingshu's carriage passed by and called for help. Otherwise, if it drags on for another half an hour or an hour, Zhu Zhiheng will freeze to death even if he will not bleed to death.

Zhu Zhiheng, who was supposed to be recuperating in the house, appeared on the side of the road and lost most of his life. This is intriguing. Before that, Lord Xiao happened to hand over a letter of request to Qing Shu. What was written in the letter was that he hoped that Qingshu could help him and recommend Zhu Zhiheng to Zhou Boyan. Lord Xiao does not ask Zhu Zhiheng to be reused by Zhou Boyan, does not ask Zhu Zhiheng to soar, only asks Zhu Zhiheng to stay away from the county seat for a year and a half. Of course, it's better to learn something outside. Lord Xiao is very good at begging people, and the words in the letter are sincere, and he explains that he does not force it. Qing Shu was convenient and agreed to help him, and he was very grateful. Qing Shu refused this, but he was still very grateful. He asked Qingshu to think about it and not rush to reply.

These two things come together, and things become even more intriguing. Qing Shu guessed. Lord Xiao seemed to have expected that Zhu Zhiheng would be in danger, so he wanted to keep Zhu Zhiheng out of the county for a while. Lord Xiao would choose Zhou Boyan, perhaps considering Zhou Boyan's identity and power, and felt that Zhu Zhiheng was the safest to take refuge in Zhou Boyan. In short, there should be a lot of twists and turns here. Therefore, Qingshu insisted on Zhu Zhiheng's refusal to return to the county seat, and when Zhu Zhiheng was unwilling to let Mrs. Xiao know her whereabouts, she sent Luo San back to the county seat.

Luo San is Luo San, he didn't return empty-handed, and brought back a lot of news.

One of them is about Zhufu. got up early, Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Qianying went to visit Zhu Zhiheng, but found that the door was wide open, the maid who was waiting for Zhu Zhiheng was lying on the ground and was unconscious, and Zhu Zhiheng, who was supposed to be recuperating in bed, was nowhere to be found. Zhu's mansion was in chaos, and the top and bottom began to look for Zhu Zhiheng. Mrs. Zhu has cried and fainted several times, and Zhu Qianying has also cried into tears.

Lord Xiao got the letter, and sent messengers and officers and soldiers to look for people everywhere, and began to interrogate the people of Zhu's house. Zhu Zhiheng was beaten and his skin was open, and he couldn't leave the bed at all, so he could only be taken away by the gangsters. How did the gangsters get into the Zhu Mansion? And how do you get people away without alarming anyone? Obviously, there are thieves in the Zhu Mansion.

Second. Luo San was mixed in the crowd of people who gathered near Zhu's Mansion to watch the excitement, observing quietly, looking at the surrounding Qiē in his eyes, refusing to let go of any clues. Finally, he spotted two suspicious figures in the crowd watching the excitement. As the two left, he followed them all the way.

These two people are obviously not ordinary people and act very carefully. They pretended to be strangers who didn't know each other, and walked one after the other for a while, and then went separately. Even so, they couldn't get rid of Luo San. Luo San followed one person closely, walked through the alleys and alleys, and finally tracked him to a ruined temple outside the county seat. Not to mention the two who were separated here, there were three other men hiding in the ruined temple. These five people are obviously a group, and they are not good people. The man who seemed to be the leader took out fifty taels of silver, and one of them divided ten taels of silver, and made an appointment to meet them at the same hour in the ruined temple five days later, and then they each departed.

Luo San heard it clearly, and the man who seemed to be the leader said that he would take the remaining silver taels after five days, and everyone would go their separate ways after dividing them, and no one would be allowed to return to the county seat for five or six years. The five of them left separately, and Luo San followed the man who seemed to be the leader, and finally followed him back to a secret prostitute in the county seat. He was sure that this man was the nephew of the owner of the secret prostitute, and after hiding in the place for the next few days, he quietly left. He turned around and found Lord Xiao of Xiao Zhi County, and avoided being told about Zhu Zhiheng's situation, what Zhu Zhiheng said, and the fact that the suspicious person was hiding in the secret prostitute.

Lord Xiao got the news of the missing Zhu Zhiheng and thanked Qing Shu for saving him. He also said that he would pretend not to know Zhu Zhiheng's whereabouts, and continue to investigate and continue to search until he found the perpetrator and the person behind the scenes. Before that, I hope that Qingshu can hide Zhu Zhiheng and let Zhu Zhiheng recuperate in secret. If there is any progress, he will send his henchmen over to inform Qing Shu.

After the matter was settled, Luo San said goodbye to Lord Xiao and prepared to go back to his life. Walking on the street, he suddenly saw Miss Zhu Zhu Qianying hurriedly running over with the maid, and ran into the alley next to him. He was puzzled, but he didn't want to pay attention, and planned to continue on his way.

"Zhu Zhisheng, stop there, did your mother hurt my second brother?" The hysterical voice of the young woman came from the small alley.

"Stinky woman, if you dare to talk nonsense, this young master will definitely tear your stinky mouth. Go back, if you dare to follow, I will sell you to the kiln ......" The young man's voice went from clear to indistinct, and he should be moving.

The young woman seemed to be saying something else, but she couldn't hear it either.

Luo San looked at the sky, then looked around, and walked into the alley. Two beggars, one old and one young, huddled in the alley and saw him holding up a broken bowl and begging. He saw that the two beggars were dressed in tattered and dirty clothes, but they were obviously thick, and the broken shoes on their feet were actually cotton. The beggars in the entire Dexian County are the only beggars of the beggars who wear thick clothes in winter. He crouched down and drew half of the beggars' logo on the ground. The two beggars' eyes lit up, and they immediately shook their fingers to complete the other half of the sign.

Luo San was sure that these two were members of the beggar gang, so he gave them some broken silver, and asked them to recruit their companions to keep an eye on the young master and young lady who had just passed by. He also instructed to go down to investigate the details of the Zhu family and pass on the news back to Kangxi Town as much as possible. Then, he returned to Kangxi Town without stopping for a moment and returned to Qingshu.

Luo San does things, Qingshu can rest assured.

Luo San was conscientious, and finally did not forget to remind Qing Shu, "Miss, do you think Lord Xiao is credible?" ”

Qing Shu was puzzled, "Say whatever you want to say, just say it." I'm listening! ”

Luo San said, "Lord Xiao knows when Miss will set off, and Lord Xiao also knows which way Miss will go. Zhu Gongzi happened to appear on the way of the young lady's trip, and he was injured, and he would not die immediately, and there was still enough time for treatment. Not only that, Zhu Gongzi refused to return to the county seat after being rescued. Although these do not prove anything, they are indeed doubts that cannot be ignored. ”

Qing Shu thought about it and understood what Luo San meant. If someone really wanted to harm Zhu Zhiheng, why didn't they kill Zhu Zhiheng completely? It is possible for a criminal to commit a crime and throw the body into a large pit on the side of the road that is not easy to be found; Throwing people who are not dead in it and waiting for someone to save them is too much to say. It really doesn't make sense that the prisoners have to take great pains to take people out of Zhufu overnight, and then take them out of the city and throw them on the side of the road.

Qing Shu suddenly felt a headache, "In your opinion, if a qiē is really arranged by Lord Xiao, then what is Lord Xiao's plan?" He is a ruler, and I am a citizen. If he wants power, I am just an ordinary person, and he has no power in his hands and has found the wrong person. If he is said to be rich, his wealth is much richer than mine. "After all, she trusts Lord Xiao.

Luo Sanruyu's face had a smile on her face, "Miss, don't forget, behind you is a young man." It was only when he thought of Yan Gongzi that he became suspicious of Zhu Zhiheng's matter.

"He ......" Qing Shu only said one word and stopped talking. If it is Zhou Boyan, there are many things to do. However, she didn't want to doubt Lord Xiao in her heart, so she made a bitter face, "Maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

Luo San couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this. "Miss don't have to worry, maybe her subordinates are too careful. Tomorrow, the subordinates will go to the county seat again, and they will definitely find out the matter. "Miss rarely trusts Master Xiao, and it is rare to become friends with Miss Xiao. He also hoped that it was a coincidence, and he also hoped that no one would calculate Miss. In this way, the young lady can happily continue to communicate with the Xiao family.

With a little doting smile on Shang Luosan, Qing Shu was a little embarrassed, "Are you laughing at me?" Ever since she learned Luo San's identity and knew that Luo San was Luo Xiaorong's third uncle, she always felt that Luo San sometimes gave her the feeling of being an elder who loved her.

Luo San straightened his face, "The subordinates don't dare." Please allow your subordinates to go to the county seat again tomorrow. ”

Qing Shu nodded, and agreed.

Luo San said goodbye, and when he was about to walk to the door, he turned back. He took out a letter and placed it on the table. He retreated in Qing Shu's puzzled gaze and retreated straight to the door, then he looked at Qing Shu with a smile in his eyes and said, "This letter can relieve Miss's lovesickness." ”

Qing Shu didn't react for a while, and there was a question mark in his eyes.

Luo San had already stepped out of the door, and he didn't forget to say three words out loud, "Solve lovesickness."

Suddenly, Qing Shu's angry shout came from the study, "Guard Luo, punish thirty laps." ”

Escort Luo had already fled.

Qing Shu held Zhou Boyan's handwritten letter in her hand, and was angry at Luo San for making fun of her.

Xiaojuan ran in from outside, "Miss, what's wrong?" Did you just say that you were going to punish the Luo guards for running thirty laps? ”

Qing Shu grabbed the letter in his hand and said, "You remember, when Guard Luo comes back, you will keep an eye on him and let him complete this punishment." ”

Xiaojuan didn't know what was inside, but she still agreed crisply.

Qing Shu left the study, returned to his residence, and couldn't wait to open the letter and read it. Zhou Boyan has been away for a long time, and she is naturally happy to finally receive a letter from him today.
