After Mu Qing finished speaking, he walked out to the door of the mansion with the support of Youdong.

Although his back is very lonely and lonely, it is also extremely determined.

……

Inside the inn.

Ishikawa and Xiao Yan got up early, and just as they were about to have breakfast, they sent someone to invite Mu Qing.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Youdong walking in with Mu Qing struggling, and the two of them looked at Mu Qing's injured leg together, which was okay, but he hadn't seen him for two or three days, and he actually became an injured person, dragging a broken leg back.

Both of them stepped forward, took Mu Qing from Youdong's hand, gently supported him, and after sitting on the chair, they all asked, "How did you hurt your leg?" ”

The latter looked at the eager eyes of the two of them, and replied lightly: "It's okay, just a little skin injury." ”

"Just a little skin trauma, a little skin trauma so that you can't even walk, do you want Youdong to escort you back?" Ishikawa immediately retorted mercilessly, he was really worried about Mu Qing's wounds, and he didn't stop talking and talking, so he wanted to check his injuries, but the latter gently blocked them with his hands.

Xiao Yan knew that Mu Qing would not tell the truth, so he frowned and looked at Youdong, who was already worried about Mu Qing, and immediately blurted out: "Master's horse lost its front hooves and threw him off the horse." ”

"What?" Ishikawa turned around sharply, and his tone became stern, "Then why didn't you say it earlier, the injury can be serious, and besides, the master is injured, why don't you bring him back for medical treatment as soon as possible." ”

"It's because I fell and injured myself that I couldn't come back immediately, and the doctor has taken care of me for the past two days?" Youdong argued quietly.

After Ishikawa heard this, after getting angry again, he suddenly remembered something again, and said to himself: "Oh, that's right, he has been living in the doctor's mansion for the past two days, so it is naturally the best arrangement." However, is the injury healed now? ”

Ishikawa still had to ask questions with concern, but Xiao Yan gave him a look, and then looked at Mu Qing, who had a heavy and sullen face, and had to shut up.

And what about Mu Qing? After Ishikawa finished his ramblings, he looked at the two of them calmly, although he didn't speak, the two of them also understood the meaning in his eyes: The hour has not yet arrived, why did you two get up so early?

Finally, fixing his eyes on Ishikawa, Ishikawa straightened up and said, "Master, we were talking about going to you later?" Youbei just passed the news. ”

Ishikawa's habit is like this, he often talks half and leaves half of it, which satisfies people's appetites, but Mu Qing's eyebrows frowned, and he hurriedly told Mu Qingdao the news that Youbei brought back: "Fujin said that she recognized the white hosta, which belonged to Mrs. Su of Sufu." Fujin Niangniang also asked why this hairpin was in Youbei's hands. ”

"Mrs. Su, it's the wife of Su Shilang of the Ministry of Rites!" In this way, Mu Qing completely remembered that the white hosta was indeed Mrs. Su's, and he couldn't help but think of that scene again.

On that day, it was Yu Fujin's birthday, and Mrs. Su came to the palace to celebrate her birthday, just because she did not wear flowers and branches like other ladies, but dressed elegantly, and only had a chic white hosta hairpin on her black hair, which was elegant and dignified, so Mu Qingcai remembered her and remembered this hairpin.

However, how could Mrs. Su's hairpin be in Yu Qiukong's hands?

Mu Qing thought about it again, and suddenly realized that he looked up at Xiao Yan, who might have thought of a place with him, and the two looked at each other, shocked and inexplicable.

The inference of Yu Qiukong in his heart has been vaguely formed, if it is really as he and the two of them expected, the women's clothes and accessories on the top of the mountain can be explained very reasonably, the only thing that cannot be explained is why he kidnapped Qin Huaiyu and did those vicious and strange actions to him?

The two of them thought deeply, from Qin Huaiyu's case to Miss Yun's case, criss-crossed, perhaps, there were many cases similar to Miss Yun, all of which happened quietly.

And some dignitaries and dignitaries, for some reason, adopted a silent way to secretly hide the matter.

And this layer is too deep and too thin, Ishikawa didn't expect it at all, and when he heard that there was another Mrs. Su's hairpin, he only felt weird, the strange circle about this Yu Qiukong seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more people involved with him, and they were all high-powered dignitaries.

So, the three of them all have their own hearts, and they only hope that Youdong can find more information with the jewelry, so that they can find a breakthrough, and they can find a breakthrough for Yu Qiukong in one fell swoop.

The three of them were sitting sullenly, thinking about their next move, when a person rushed in at the door in a hurry and panic, because he was in a hurry and panic, and when he crossed the threshold, he was almost knocked down by the threshold.

"Shi Zhutou, it's not good, the official is coming to arrest the eldest brother."

The person who rushed in hurriedly was Qin Huaijue, and as soon as he entered the door, he didn't care about almost wrestling, so he yelled at Ishikawa.

The latter didn't hear too clearly for a while, and even if he did, he couldn't believe it, so he stood up and asked the comer: "What the hell, why did you arrest your eldest brother?" ”

Huai Jue breathed a sigh of relief, still panting and explaining impatiently: "It was the arrest of the Yamen of Qingshan County, a neighboring county, who came to my house early in the morning and said that someone went to the county government to sue my brother, saying that he was suspected of a life lawsuit and attempted to insult a young girl, so he should be arrested." ”

As soon as Huai Jue's words fell, the other three stood up in shock, unable to believe what the former said.

Ishikawa rushed forward, grabbed Huai Jue's arm, looked at him sideways, and habitually began to go through the process of catching heads, "When did the case be committed, who is the plaintiff, there can be witnesses and physical evidence." ”

Huaijue's hand was dragged by Ishikawa, but he still looked directly at the latter's eyes and said: "It was handed over by the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion, saying that it was a case committed on February 13, and it also showed that the human and material evidence was complete, so the magistrate immediately ordered the arrest to arrest the eldest brother." ”

After hearing this, Ishikawa was immediately stunned, and thought about the day of February 13, which was when Qin Huaiyu was trapped by that Yu Qiukong, and the day before he was found, which means that there is no one who can prove the alibi for him, which is indeed more tricky.

"Then have they caught your eldest brother now?" Xiao Yan asked with concern.

"No, they didn't know that the eldest brother was now in the Shen Mansion, but they had already issued a general order to arrest my brother in the whole city, so I ran over and asked the three masters for help to find a way to save my eldest brother." Huai Jue was so anxious that he almost knelt down with the other three.

If Qin Huaiyu committed a murder, the three people in the house would never believe it.

Yes, Qin Huaiyu has been missing for more than ten days, where is he and what has he done these days? There is no one to testify to him.

But when I thought about finding him in that Juanniang's house, looking at his dying, hopeless and helpless expression, it was impossible to believe that he would commit a murderous crime.

But that Fan Fu insisted that he did it, and also presented human and material evidence, so there must be a big mystery in it.

Mu Qingwang looked at Huai Jue, who was anxious, and was calm and calm, "Fanfu, did they say which Fanfu it is?" ”

"I said it, I said it was the mansion of Lord Fan."

"It's really his house." Hearing that it was the mansion of the Category Lord, even Mu Qing couldn't help but be moved.

"What is the origin of this Master Fan?" Seeing Mu Qing's reaction like this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but have great curiosity about this Fan Mansion.

"It's the house of the Cabinet University Scholar Fan, and he only returned to his hometown last year."

When Ishikawa first heard the reputation of the scholar, he was really shocked, and he didn't know what evil he had hit recently, and the people involved in these cases were important members of the imperial court at every turn.

Not to mention the prince and young master of Yunfu, the scholar of Fan Mansion, and the Su Shilang family mentioned earlier, this is all fatal, and he is a first-class and second-grade court minister at every turn.

Although Scholar Fan has returned to his hometown, he has always been highly respected and has many followers, so Qin Huaiyu is probably in big trouble now.

Ishikawa was worried, Mu Qing was very sober and rational, and comforted Huaijue: "Don't worry, the pure ones are self-purifying, what your eldest brother has not done, naturally it will not be in vain." Also, you go to the Shen Mansion quickly and take your brother to the Yamen to surrender, and we will arrive later, and we will definitely return your brother's innocence. ”

Mu Qing thought very thoughtfully, now Qin Huaiyu is a key criminal, and he can't avoid arrest, but should surrender and defend himself.

If he had been hiding in the Shen Mansion to avoid arrest, he was afraid that it would not only be of no benefit to himself, but would also affect the Shen Mansion. Therefore, he ordered Huaijue to take his brother to the yamen to return to the case.

However, Huai Jue didn't understand his thoughtful concerns for a while, and did not respond immediately, but hesitated and refused to leave.

Xiao Yan saw his worries and concerns, so he explained to him: "If you hide your brother's whereabouts, the government will think that he has absconded in fear of crime, and it will even more confirm his crime." Now go to the yamen generously and tell him about the experience of the past dozens of days, they have witnesses and physical evidence, then you also have that person's evidence and physical evidence, which can prove your brother's innocence. ”

"Do we have any physical evidence?" Huaiyu repeated in disbelief.

"Of course there is, the three of us are human witnesses, and as for the physical evidence, it is the poison on your brother's body, which can indirectly prove his innocence." Xiao Yan explained in detail.

"Yes, that's right, I'll go back and take my eldest brother to the yamen to bring the case to justice." As if he saw hope again, Huai Jue was no longer as flustered when he left.

After Huai Jue left, Mu Qing glanced at Xiao Yan slightly, "What do you think?" ”

The latter smiled slightly: "I think that Yu Qiukong's fox tail has finally revealed a little, and I have a vague feeling in my heart, as if I know why he kidnapped Qin Huaiyu and why he did those mysterious things to him." ”

"Can you two stop playing dumb riddles, I don't understand what you hide like this." Ishikawa was annoyed.

"This is just a preliminary idea, it has not been confirmed yet, when we go to the yamen and come back, it will be almost there, and I will talk to you in detail when the time comes." This time, Xiao Yan did not quarrel with Ishikawa, but explained seriously.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, seeing Mu Qing struggling to get up, he hurriedly held him down with one hand and said, "It's enough for just the two of us to go, you can rest at home." ”

Mu Qing's face was reluctant and uneasy, and Xiao Yan said again: "I'm doing things, aren't you still at ease?" ”
