Volume 1 The First Journey to the Lake Chapter 117 Ming Hui is missing
Chi Qiu is not the kind of person who looks at the next woman differently and doesn't care about life or death, although Wang Minghui and Li Yuan hooked up, in the river, a woman who committed this kind of thing will not make waves if she is beaten to death by her husband, thinking of Wang Minghui's boldness in drinking wine, Chi Qiu can't help but worry: "You won't think that Li Guangyuan hurt Wang Minghui and run away." β
Li Yuan sighed: "If that's the case, it's me who hurt her." Li Yuan grabbed Chi Qiu's hand: "You help me go to Li's house and have a look." β
Chi Qiu nodded.
"When you go to the city tomorrow, you will say that I mean it, and I want a chase and escape order."
"Chase and escape order?"
Li Yuan explained: "With this order, when you go to Li Guangyuan's family's Tiger Roar Town, you can let the town soldiers go with you to catch him back." β
"It's so big, it's not going to happen." This is looking for someone, it is completely the meaning of catching fugitive slaves, Li Guangyuan is also a scholar, after the defeat of the family, he committed himself to Li Yuan, whose status is also not high, as a waiter, in name as a waiter, but in fact it is a slave in the form of a buyout, but some families in order to support the faΓ§ade will not be too harsh on these down-and-out scholars, generally make mistakes, and even help cover up, and now Li Yuan actually sent troops to pursue Li Guangyuan, which is equivalent to stepping on the last trace of face of the Li family into the mud.
"If not, what reason is there to chase him back? You must know that this is not a simple attendant leaving without telling you, but asking you to bring Wang Minghui back, only with the chase and escape order, you have such power, otherwise even if Li Guangyuan comes back with you, his family can still dispose of Wang Minghui. Li Yuan sighed: "I'm afraid that even if I go tomorrow morning, I may not be in time." β
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room was suffocating, Li Guangyuan's behavior was too strange, and it must be a big deal to run away overnight, maybe Li Guangyuan had already disposed of Wang Minghui and absconded.
Chi Qiu comforted Li Yuan, and went to Li Yuan's courtyard again, the courtyard was neatly cleaned up, according to Li Yuan's description, Wang Minghui was taken away by Li Guangyuan after sending Xiaoyu to the Jietang last night and came back to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Chi Qiu estimated the time, and Wang Minghui was taken away by Xianggong at least after ten o'clock.
There were no traces of a fight in the Li couple's room, and the related items were not taken away, Chi Qiu opened a few cabinets and drawers, most of the items were neat, according to the gap placed, the two left, and some delicate or important items were still taken away. And there is a hairpin in the corner of the quilt, which is engraved with the king character of dragon flying and phoenix dancing. I think it was accidentally dropped by Wang Minghui, and the two didn't find it when they cleaned it up.
Chi Qiu checked Li Yuan's room again, and there was no trace of rummaging, Li Yuan explained the location of several places where the money was placed, Chi Qiu saw it, the money was there, it seemed that the two did not defect for money.
At this time, a figure walked in from outside, and glanced at Chi Qiu in surprise: "What are you doing here?" β
Chi Qiu was startled, because of the reflection, he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came: "Who?" β
"Qi Xiaofei."
Chi Qiu borrowed the candle flame and walked straight to her: "Startle me, it turns out to be Doctor Qi, why are you here?" β
Qi Xiaofei glanced at him up and down, and said bluntly: "It seems that I should ask you this, why are you sneaky in Li Lang's official courtyard, rummaging for something?" β
Chi Qiu knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
After listening to Qi Xiaofei, she was relieved: "I was passing by, and I saw a candle in the courtyard, and I thought I had entered the thief." β
Chi Qiu muttered in a low voice: "How can a thief be scared half to death." β
Under the candlelight, Chi Qiu's face was cute, and Qi Xiaofei couldn't help but smile. "Since it's okay, I'll go first."
"Where are you going?"
"What? Do you still want to interrogate me? Qi Xiaofei saw Chi Qiu several times, he was investigating the case, or assisting Ding Feiyan and the small county lord to investigate the case, even today, he was helping Li Yuan investigate the case, and couldn't help but joke.
"Okay, don't bury me, what kind of case to investigate, a case of Wang's murder, a case of Jiang Lao's corpse, including today, the case of the disappearance of the Li family and his wife, I don't have a clue, that is, I just help them blindly." Chi Qiu spread his hands, this stall almost broke things, only to cheer up, Chi Qiu instinctively held the hairpin in his right hand as a weapon, just wanted to see the person who came, picked up the candlestick lighting with his left hand, he has the habit of lighting with electric lights for many years, when he was a prince, most of the time it was also brightly lit or the maid was responsible for lighting, he rarely held the candlestick himself.
With a crooked hand, the candle inevitably fell to the ground, and the room was pitch black.
After a long period of chaos, the bright light broke through the dark night again, the warmth of Fang Cai came from the back of Chi Qiu's hand, the men and women who were blind in the black light were alone in the same room, and they groped for the candles rolling on the ground together, naturally they had to touch it a little, as for where to touch, Chi Qiu and Qi Xiaofei both chose not to pursue it again.
Qi Xiaofei said, "I have to go back." β
Chi Qiu let out an "oh", sighed, got up and followed, trying to let the candlelight shine on the beautiful woman's path.
In the end, it is a person who is old and yellow, since in this case, a man can actually maintain a cautious and polite manner, Qi Xiaofei is a little disappointed in her heart, and it is not that she is a shameless widow, in fact, she has guarded her daughter for many years and lived alone, clean and self-conscious, but her professional habits, often secretly observe the small expressions of young men and women when they meet, plus she is a doctor, although she is a gynecology doctor, usually more related to "production", the level of Chinese medicine should still have, Especially for the first time in childbirth, the fear is inexplicable, and the shame is to say in detail, the really good "stable woman" must be very accurate to the mother's micro-expression, and it is not just a matter of shouting two words of "hard" to solve the problem.
With her professional habits, she will think of a lot more or less, especially Chi Qiu, who is nearly thirty years old, don't look at her daughters are in their teens, in fact, Qi Xiaofei herself is only twenty-five or sixteen.
As soon as the night breeze blew, Qi Xiaofei's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad, in the early years, she wanted to give a hammer to those who wanted to see her jokes, she raised the child alone, and later saw that it was too difficult for a woman to live in the world, but she was worried that the man she was looking for was not good for her daughter, so she found it, but she introduced it to other widows when she saw some men, and she was so far alone. In order to provide a good environment for her daughter and allow her to participate in the township school, she is not only a stable woman outside, but also a doctor, and also an errand as a matchmaker, and a father and mother at home, fighting wits and courage with her growing daughter.
Qi Xiaofei smiled bitterly, and shook her head, now her appearance is not as beautiful as the first flower, and her figure is not as good as Aunt Ge, but she is still inexplicably expecting people to have ideas? I'm worried about finding a man, I'm crazy.
Leaving Li Yuan's small courtyard, seeing that Chi Qiu was still following her, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered: "Okay, I'll go back." β
Chi Qiu asked, "Where are you going?" β
"Go home!" Seeing that Chi Qiu didn't believe it, Qi Xiaofei added: "Go back to the city." β
"Huh?" It's already nine o'clock, and it's already curfew in the city, so how can she go home? Chi Qiu was a little puzzled, he thought that Qi Xiaofei was just going back to his room in Pufu Hall, thinking that the night was dark, he might as well give her a while, but he didn't expect her to enter the city.
