Chapter Twenty-Three: Extinguishing the Mouth

In the lobby, Zhou Zhengzhi was chatting with each other: "Trapped in this Tingwei Mansion every day, His Highness must be in a panic!" ”

Yuan Rui smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay......"

Zhou Zhengzhi: "Actually, there is no progress in Hu Xiude's case at present, I don't think His Highness has to stay here all the time, as soon as there is news of Qin Daniu, the official will immediately send someone to inform His Highness?" ”

Yuan Rui said in his heart that this is not a good way, and he was about to agree, when suddenly Nie Zhen, the head of the Tingwei Mansion, rushed to announce: "No, no, it's not good!" That Qin Da Niu is not Qin Da Niu! ”

Zhou Zhengzhi shouted angrily: "Speak well!" What Qin Da Niu is not Qin Da Niu? ”

Nie Zhen replied breathlessly: "Qin Da Niu's parents, after looking at the wanted portrait, they recognized the murderous Qin Da Niu, no, it's not the real Qin Da Niu!" Rather, it's someone else! ”

Zhou Zhengzhi was shocked: "Don't bring people quickly!" ”

Qin's father and Qin's mother were quickly brought up, kneeling side by side, with a wanted portrait of "Qin Da Niu" spread in front of them. Zhou Zhengzhi pointed to the portrait with an urgent expression: "You can see clearly, is the person in the painting indeed not your son Qin Daniu?" ”

Father Qin's tone had never been so firm: "It's really not a big bull!" The big cow has small eyes, a square face, and a collapsed nose, but the person in the painting has big eyes, a round face, and a straight nose, so he is definitely not a big cow! ”

Qin Mu also added: "There is still a mole on Da Niu's forehead, and there is no one on the painting!" ”

Yuan Rui leaned closer to Zhou Zhengzhi and whispered: "Actually, we should have thought of it a long time ago, this Qin Da Niu was still a cropper half a year ago, how could he become an assassination master half a year later?" ”

Zhou Zhengzhi also shook his head and sighed: "Now that the line of Qin Daniu's parents is also broken, it is becoming more and more difficult to arrest the murderer." ”

The two of them were secretly feeling sad, and suddenly Nie Zhen's panicked voice came from afar: "Your Highness! My lord! No, it's not good! ”

When he entered, Zhou Zhengzhi yelled at him angrily: "What's wrong with you? ”

Nie Zhen was still panting: "Father-in-law Qin, father-in-law Qin is dead!" ”

On a sunny day, Yuan Rui and Zhou Zhengzhi hurried to Qin Zhi's cage and carefully checked for a long time, but found nothing. The silver needle test was not poisoning, and even the jailer did not find any clues, saying that Qin Zhi was eating well just now, but he was a little less talking today.

After working hard for many days, he woke up and started all over again, and Yuan Rui feels like this now. The murderer is not the real Qin Da Niu, Qin's father and Qin's mother are useless, and Qin Zhi, who is the only possible accomplice, also died without saying hello, could it be that this case ends here?

But Mu Shuiqing, the jailer behind Yuan Rui, was in a different mood at the moment, looking at Qin Zhi's body lying on the ground, what appeared in his mind was Mao Qingyu's squinting gaze from the corner of his eyes in Sitong City, as if he was looking at a fool.

Receiving this kind of gaze, Mu Shuiqing's intestines were full of regret, and he secretly scolded himself for being so confused, believing in Qin Zhi's nonsense of the dead eunuch, and now he deserves to be treated as a retarded person. But the matter has come to this point, even if it is hard, this scene must be completed, and we must not leave in disgrace, otherwise how will we mix in this Luoyang City in the future! After reorganizing his thoughts, Mu Shuiqing said to Mao Qingyu calmly: "Grandpa Mao, even if you don't believe in villains, you should believe in Grandpa Qin!" You're a good friend......"

Mao Qingyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Mu Shuiqing's words: "Stop, stop!" What's the best friend? My father-in-law has nothing to do with that murderer! ”

Mu Shuiqing nodded again and again: "Yes!" Be! It does not matter! It does not matter! However, Gonggong Qin said that as long as Aunt He, who was next to the Queen Mother, saw this, she would definitely be able to understand that he was wronged! Seeing that he still didn't believe it, he stomped his feet and said, "The villain is indeed idle on weekdays, but father-in-law thinks, even if the villain is boring, he doesn't dare to use your father-in-law for entertainment!" This thing looks ordinary, but it must be a hidden mystery, but the villain doesn't see it with the naked eye, and you don't bother to study it, father-in-law! As he spoke, he slowly stuffed the cloth into Mao Qingyu's palm.

Mao Qingyu picked up the cloth with two fingers in disgust, and covered his nose with the other hand: "Oops! You see, it's still painted with blood! A fishy smell! After saying that, the orchid pointed at Mu Shuiqing, "If Aunt He doesn't react after seeing this thing, you will look good then!" "I was not interested in going to the market anymore, so I went back to the palace.

How could this line be so familiar, Mu Shuiqing stayed in place, and after a while, he remembered that this was not the cruel words he had thrown to Qin Zhi at the beginning!

Returning to the prison of Tingwei's Mansion, Mu Shuiqing's mood was extremely bad, and his anger was about to gush out uncontrollably, although he was just a small jailer, but every day in front of the prisoners, he also wanted to beat and beat, scolded when he wanted to, said one thing or another, and was used to being the king and hegemon, how could he have suffered such humiliation today, and was treated like a fool. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he rushed into Qin Zhi's cage and was about to beat him: "You old thing with no hair on the top and no ball below, you dare to play with Lao Tzu like this, see if Lao Tzu doesn't repair you well today!" ”

Qin Zhi couldn't figure out the situation for a while: "Wait, wait...... Where do you start with this? ”

Mu Shuiqing said angrily: "It's not your rag piece yet!" After seeing it, Father-in-law Mao didn't react at all, but regarded Lao Tzu as crazy! ”

Qin Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this: "The adults have found Grandpa Mao?" ”

Mu Shuiqing: "Nonsense! Otherwise, how could you suffer from this bird's anger! ”

Qin Zhi further asked: "Father-in-law Mao promised to send cloth?" ”

Mu Shuiqing: "A promise is a promise, but it's just a ......"

Qin Zhi suddenly hugged Mu Shuiqing and kissed him on the face: "Thank you, my lord!" Thank you, sir! On the contrary, Mu Shuiqing was at a loss, and even forgot that he came in to teach this old eunuch a good lesson, and was hugged and kissed by a eunuch, I am afraid that no matter which man he puts on him, he will be as stunned as Mu Shuiqing.

Qin Zhi excitedly said to Mu Shuiqing: "The villain's mansion in the south of the city should have been seized by the imperial court at this moment, but it doesn't matter, the villain still has a house in Shanxinfang in the east of the city, and I don't know it outside, there are some famous calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty hidden in it, and there are many masterpieces like Zhong Xuan, Wang Xizhi, Gu Kaizhi and other famous masters, and the adults can pick them up after they get there!" After the villain goes out, there will be heavy thanks! ”

"Cut! A few calligraphy and paintings, what a big deal! Mu Shuiqing's tone was full of disdain.

However, when he followed Qin Zhi's instructions, he casually carried two calligraphy and paintings and asked a few knowledgeable people, and he no longer dared to underestimate these calligraphy and paintings. It's really as Qin Zhi said, the money that he has worked hard all his life is not as valuable as these pieces of paper! I really can't see that this dead eunuch has hidden so many treasures!

As the saying goes, if you take people short, Mu Shuiqing's attitude towards Qin Zhi has completely changed since then, respectfully as if he was serving his own parents, of course, he still puts on a commanding and unscrupulous attitude in front of people.

Several days have passed, but there is still no movement, Qin Zhi and Mu Shuiqing both seem a little anxious, and Mu Shuiqing even went to Sitong City to look for Mao Qingyu several times, but they all returned in vain.

"Father-in-law, is your piece of cloth really useful?" Mu Shuiqing asked without hesitation.

Qin Zhi's tone was not as firm as a few days ago: "It stands to reason that as long as Aunt He sees that pattern, not to mention letting the villain out, at least she will come here to visit the villain's ......"

"Maybe Father-in-law Mao hasn't found a suitable opportunity to give him things yet, Father-in-law don't worry!" Mu Shuiqing comforted.

"I hope so!" Qin Zhi still couldn't hide his worry, "My lord, if something happens to the villain, can you ask the adult to do the villain a favor......" Qin Zhi suddenly changed his words, startling Mu Shuiqing.

"Phew! Bah! Bah! Mu Shuiqing hurriedly interrupted Qin Zhi, "Father-in-law must not say such unlucky words, you still have to have faith!" ”

Qin Zhi nodded: "The villain just said that in case, the adults are willing to help?" ”

Mu Shuiqing: "I have taken so many benefits from my father-in-law, if I can help, I will definitely help!" But we have to talk about the ugly things in front of us, and if I want to lose my head, then I'd rather return all the things to my father-in-law! ”

Qin Zhi: "I hope the villain is worried." He whispered to Mu Shuiqing.

As Qin Zhi talked more and more, Mu Shuiqing's face became more and more frightened, and finally gasped: "Oh my God! Night Wolf Alliance! Father-in-law, how dare you provoke such a person? ”

Qin Zhi was also very helpless: "If it weren't for the last resort, the villain wouldn't dare to take this step!" If the villain is really killed by her, she won't think about it! In the end, it was a gritted tooth.

Mu Shuiqing was thinking about it, and was suddenly pushed by Zhou Zhengzhi: "Go!" Find two people to carry the body away! ”

Mu Shuiqing suddenly realized that he was busy calling people to go.

It was late at night, Mu Shuiqing didn't sleep, but found an iron basin at home, burned a lot of ingots into it, and said something in his mouth: "Father-in-law Qin, you go all the way!" I know that you must have been assassinated, don't worry, I will do it for you! I heard that Gonggong Mao also died inexplicably yesterday, you can get it in the spirit of heaven, remember to bless them not to come to me! ”

After two days, the more Mu Shuiqing thought about it, the more scared he became, and finally found a reason to return to his hometown with the huge amount of money he had earned from selling calligraphy and paintings. However, he did not dare to deceive the deceased, and before leaving, he secretly spread the secret that He Gu was a member of the Night Wolf Alliance through the mouths of several beggars and children.
