Chapter 56: Murder
The green-shirted girl was able to find this place, apparently after some inquiry. It's just that I talked to Qin Qu last night, and today this maid came over and said that Miss Qin had an accident? Could it be that Miss Qin was still harassed on the way back last night?
"You say slowly, what's wrong with Miss Qin?" Su Lian asked calmly.
"Alas, Master Su, this matter is urgent, there is no way to say it slowly, you better come with me quickly, it will be too late to ......" The green-shirted girl beckoned to Su Lian anxiously, and said: "Miss Qin was taken away by the people of the government, saying that there was a murder......
This green-shirted pretty woman was in a hurry, walked to Su Lian's side, pulled up his sleeves and was about to pull away.
Hearing her tell the murder, Su Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No, is it related to me?" That guy last night, we shot in a measured way, and we didn't kill him......"
"Master Su, the slave came to you in the hope that you could help Miss Qin...... Miss Qin kept telling the slave maid last night that Su Gongzi was a talented and unfathomable person...... "The green-shirted pretty maid was about to cry when she said it, and continued: "There are not many people that the slave can find, and when I was in a hurry, I thought of Su Gongzi." Su Gongzi is very capable, no matter what, Su Gongzi and Miss Qin were together last night, and they can also go to the government to testify...... Su Gongzi, slave beg......" The green-shirted maid spoke incoherently, and said so loudly that she bowed to Su Lian.
"Hey, you don't have to be so ......" Su Lian helped her up and said, "I will help with Miss Qin's affairs, don't worry...... But you also have to explain the cause and effect of the incident......"
"Thank you, Master Su!" The green-shirted girl breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why don't we talk while we walk......
"It's okay......" Su Lian agreed, and asked Guo Zheng to stay and talk to Ma Xiuying, and then followed the green-shirted girl with Zheng Shou.
It turned out that after Qin Qu went back last night, he was also safe, and nothing happened. It's just that as soon as she went out early this morning, she was surrounded by a group of officials, saying that four people died last night, and Qin Qu was suspected of committing a major crime and needed to be brought back for questioning. After that, he couldn't help but say it, and escorted Qin Qu to the county office.
Hearing that four people had died, Su Lian was surprised in his heart, he remembered that there were exactly four generals who stopped Qin Qu last night. Could it be that all four of them are dead? When asked about this maid named Xiaoqing, she also shook her head and didn't know the details. If it was true that those four people died, Qin Qu would indeed not be able to escape the suspicion, but when and how those four people died, these details need to be clarified.
Su Lian secretly thought to himself, several people had already taken Qin Qu's carriage and arrived at the county office. Xizi Town belongs to Lu'an County, and the Yamen of Lu'an County is located in the east of Xizi Town, five miles away from Donghai Restaurant.
After Cheng Mo jumped off the frame, Su Lian, Zheng Shou and Xiaoqing got out of the car and saw that there were already many people surrounded outside the gate of the yamen. After all, it was a big case of four people who died, and the people involved were the freshly baked Oiran of the Pink Moon Building, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Looking at the plaque with the words "Lu'an County Government" on the gate and a big drum under the door, Su Lian remembered his own affairs in his heart at this moment. I don't know if the Qizhou County Government is back to normal? More than half a month has passed, will the government send a wanted document for his portrait? Although he thought so, Su Lian was not nervous at this moment, and only smiled bitterly: What he is going to do now is a hundred times more dangerous than being wanted by the government? And what are you afraid of?
A few people pushed through the crowd and walked inside. Su Lian asked Xiaoqing, the county here is called Zhou Shou, he has been in office for less than a year, he is sleek and sophisticated, but he has no background, so although the town and county under his jurisdiction are rich, first, the county is full of powerful people, and the rich gentry have their own backstage, and secondly, the county will generally not be in office for more than two years, whether it is fault or not, it will be transferred within two years. Therefore, Zhou Shou needs to maneuver left and right here, not to mention that he is quite uncomfortable, and he can't get any oil and water.
If what Xiaoqing said is true, then this Zhou Shou must also know that Qin Qu is a person from Fanyue Tower. Although Su Lian didn't know who was behind Fan Yue Lou, he should at least be a figure that the county didn't dare to offend easily. Zhou Shou is a smart person, and he also understands the way of being an official, he now dares to openly take away the Oiran of the Pink Moon Building in broad daylight, needless to say, he must have been instructed by someone behind him, and the person who instructed him is not small.
Thinking of this, Su Lian's mind came to mind that Magjila, who had failed to compete in the Pink Moon Building yesterday and sent people to harass Qin Qu, and the son of Wanhu Da Thorn Buhua on Anfeng Road, who had been sitting with him yesterday and had not made a sound, did not spend it. Either of these two people can make this county prince have to bow down. It seems that it is not easy to solve this matter.
A few people stepped into the gate of the county government, and they didn't go far before they heard someone calling behind them.
"Su Gongzi ......" The people who came chased after them called out, quite anxious.
Su Lian looked back, but it was Li Bairoom. The murder case of the four people, involving the Oiran of the Pink Moon Building, has spread all over in a short period of time, and it is not surprising that Li Baimu heard about it. The matter involved Qin Qu, and he immediately rushed over in a hurry, and just saw Su Lian, who had stepped into the county office, and chased after him.
"Brother Li, are you here for Miss Qin's business?" Su Lian was not polite, and asked directly.
"That's nature. Miss Qin's business is my business......" Li Baimu said in a big way, glancing at Xiaoqing following Su Lian's side, and asked strangely: "Su Gongzi, is this ......?"
Su Lian saw the way he looked at Xiaoqing and then at himself, knowing that he was confused, so he said, "This matter is a long story, in short, I am also here for Miss Qin's business." Brother Li, you came just in time, it's easy to discuss with one more person......"
Li Bairoom knew that this was not the time to talk, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Su Lian inside. Since getting acquainted with Li Baimur, Zheng Shou has already introduced the situation of the Li family in Xizi Town to him, and at this time, Li Baimuro came over, and Su Lian was a little more sure about rescuing Qin Qu.
At this time, the case of four people being tried in the lobby was being heard, and the county Cheng Zhou Shou was sitting on the desk, with four officials on each side, holding board sticks, and the momentum was bluffing. Qin Qu stood in the center of the lobby, receiving Zhou Shou's routine questioning. Zhou Shou also knew the power of Fan Yuelou, but because of his feelings, he neither let Qin Qu kneel down, nor did he hand and cuff her anklets. Even so, Qin Qu was pale and haggard, when had she ever been wronged by such a prisoner, standing under the stage without saying a word, with tears in her eyes.
"Miss......" Xiaoqing saw Qin Qu, a terrible shout, tears flowed, and she was about to rush into the lobby, but was stopped by the officials.
Qin Qu turned around and saw Xiaoqing's face full of tears, his heart was aggrieved, and he sobbed and cried: "Xiaoqing ......", he was already choked up, and his heart was sour.
She saw Su Lian behind Xiaoqing at a glance, and called "...... Su Gongzi" again, but she didn't hold back, tears came out of her eyes, don't look over.
"Miss Qin, don't be afraid, with me, no one dares to hurt you......" Li Baimu saw Qin Qu's haggard appearance, and immediately shouted.
"Thank you Gongzi Li for your assistance, it is inconvenient for the slave family to see the ceremony at the moment, and I ask Gongzi Li to forgive me......" Qin Qu suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded, without looking back, his tone was restrained.
Su Lian sighed and said, "Miss Qin, how are you now?" Have they ever wronged you? ”
Although this woman is delicate and intelligent, and her mind is meticulous, she has never experienced such humiliation, and she must have mixed feelings at this moment.
Qin Qu didn't reply to his words, but his shoulders trembled slightly, obviously sad in his heart, and he sobbed secretly. After a long while, she took a deep breath and said, "Master Su, Qin Qu's color is ugly at the moment, and I can't see you, please ...... Gongzi Su" After speaking, she choked up and stopped. She knew that her face was haggard at this time, her makeup was untidy, and she didn't dare to turn back and talk to Su Lian and them.
"Miss Qin, don't worry...... You'll be fine......" Li Baimu shouted again.
He had a loud voice and shouted loudly, which made Zhou Shou, who was sitting on the stage, a little unable to sit still, and slapped the hall in shock, and shouted: "Who is in the hall?" Shouting so loudly and disturbing the public ......"
"Zhou Shou, if you dare to hurt half of Miss Qin's hair, I will dismantle your yamen......" Li Baimu roared anxiously, not taking Zhou Shou seriously at all.
Zhou Shou was shocked again, and shouted: "Come on, let this unrelated person be bombarded by Lord Ben......" Although he knew that it was Li Bairoom, the second son of the Li family, but at this moment, he had someone to support him, and he was a lot more confident, besides, Li Bairoom was only the second child of the Li family, and his eldest brother was the head of the Li family.
Two officials with sticks came over to make a gesture to get rid of people. Li Baimu glared at him and shouted, "You dare to ......." The two officials stared wide-eyed, and they didn't dare to really make a move on Li Baimu, after all, they were soft-spoken, and they lived on someone else's territory. At one time, the two officials are neither advancing nor retreating.
"Brother Li, don't be impatient. In order to save Miss Qin, it is not appropriate for us to confront the government at this time, and make things bigger again......" Su Lian persuaded and glanced at Li Baimu again.
Li Baimu listened to Su Lian's reasoning, saw his eyes, knew that he had his own ideas, glared at the two officials again, and then took two steps back and stood still.
"Lord Zhou, Xiaomin Su Lian asks to see you!" Su Lian said loudly to Zhou Shou.
