Chapter 225: Don't Confess
The girl was stunned at first, and then looked at Zhen Chutian with a puzzled expression, "Childe, why did you ask about the Zhang family, could you be from the government, and you came here for us to rob the Zhang family in the first place?" ”
The girl was very vigilant, and finally survived, if she was arrested again because of the original robbery, it would not be worth the loss.
Zhen Chutian shook his head instantly, and said with a smile: "Of course not, I'm just curious about the Zhang family, their family owed our family a lot of silver at the beginning, and I came to ask for it today, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be there." ”
After speaking, Zhen Chutian still looked depressed.
Seeing her like this, the girl really believed her words, so she vigilantly pulled her into the courtyard, "Childe, what do you want to know?" ”
"Looks like you know?" The girl's action speaks for itself.
"Well, I still know a little bit."
"Who is the man who died in that house?" Zhen Chutian is unambiguous and straight to the point.
The girl's body trembled slightly, she never expected that Zhen Chutian would ask such a question directly about the corpse.
Although the famine has killed many people, as a woman, she has seen such a scene and has been recalled again, how can she not be afraid.
Zhen Chutian saw fear in her eyes, even bloody, as if the corpse had been seen to her.
"Girl, you know who it is, you've seen it too, haven't you?" Zhen Chutian asked nervously and aggressively.
"Childe, the people of Second Master Zhang's family are gone, and I have nothing to say." The girl looked at Zhen Chutian with determination.
Seeing that she had no intention of concealing it, a smile flashed on Zhen Chutian's face, "Thank you, girl." ”
"I know that there is a maid who died in the family of Second Master Zhang, and that maid is better than me in the past, so I know about her, she seems to know the secret of the Zhang family, a secret that no one knows.
Originally, she planned to do some odd jobs with me after finishing that month's salary, but I didn't wait for her to meet on the second day, I went to Zhang's house to look for her, but they told me she was gone. ”
"How long has it been? Why is it that when I talk about corpses, you are sure that it is her? Zhen Chutian doesn't think there is any connection between the two?
The girl saw the doubts in Zhen Chutian's eyes, so she followed up and explained: "Son, don't worry, I will naturally tell you like this if I am sure." ”
With such firm words, Zhen Chutian was naturally convinced, and then smiled and motioned for her to continue.
"I couldn't see her that day, I knew something was wrong, I sneaked into Zhang's house at night, I saw her in Zhang's cellar, she had a knife stuck in her body, there was blood all around, I knew it must be that secret, I didn't dare to say it, I ran away at that time."
At this point, the girl couldn't cry anymore, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked full of chagrin when she lowered her head.
"Girl, don't blame yourself so much, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place." Zhen Chutian is not good at comforting people, but seeing her crying so uncomfortably, she is also a little unbearable.
"Childe, if you really want to investigate, please be sure to avenge her grievances, I beg you." The girl began to kowtow to Zhen Chutian.
"Okay, you get up, don't worry, I won't let her die in vain." Zhen Chutian helped the girl up and asked for some details, and then left, looking for Gu Chenghan.
Heaven is still good to Zhen Chutian, as soon as he went out, he met a person who could answer questions, and he didn't know what happened to Gu Chenghan.
Running quickly to the entrance of the town, I just happened to see Gu Chenghan rushing here.
The two met at the entrance of the town.
"How?" Gu Chenghan seemed to be more impatient than Zhen Chutian.
"Coincidentally, I met a girl who is the maid's best friend, know one or two, my lord's side?" Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan breathlessly.
Seeing the smile on Gu Chenghan's face, he knew that he had also gained a lot here.
"My lord, don't sell it, let's hear it." Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan with a shy face.
Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian with his hand, and then nodded thoughtfully: "I didn't find anything related to the corpse, but I found an old news about the Zhang family." ”
"What old news." Now Zhen Chutian feels that they seem to know about the affairs of Second Master Zhang's family, and this can still make Gu Chenghan so excited about the old news, which really aroused her interest.
Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian in a tricky way, but he refused to open his mouth for a long time.
Yes, Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan with some urgency.
When Gu Chenghan saw Zhen Chutian like this, he didn't want to say it sooner.
When the two of them left the town, they could only be described by the words "people are not living", although Zhen Chutian is not a soft-hearted person, but she is not a hard-hearted person, seeing this scene, her face was a little more sad.
Gu Chenghan was on the side, and Zhen Chutian followed closely.
Out of the town is a wasteland, at this time Zhen Chutian's heart calmed down a little, Gu Chenghan slowed down, "Do you remember how the eldest lady of the Zhang family died?" ”
"Remember that Xiaohua said that she died of illness, didn't you?" Xiaohua didn't need to lie, but what she said might just be that the Zhang family wanted outsiders to know, and maybe she didn't know the real interest.
"The eldest lady has a good relationship, and the eldest son is not the biological son of the second master Zhang." Gu Chenghan's words were like a thunderbolt, and Zhen Chutian didn't react for a while.
"Is this big family so complicated?" Zhen Chutian came back to his senses and only said this sentence.
Wei Shi made Gu Chenghan laugh.
Gu Chenghan shook his head helplessly, and raised his head, "What about you?" ”
"The maid knew the secret of the Zhang family, she was killed, the girl I met did see her body, it was in the cellar, but it was not sealed at that time, she saw two figures when she entered the cellar, but she didn't see who it was.
Everyone in the Zhang family has their own ghosts, and they are not serious people, and the hookup between the maid and the servant is not clear, and the same is true between the master and the servant. ”
Telling all the words of the girl and her to Gu Chenghan, Zhen Chutian also relaxed a lot.
After seeing the scene of the famine and the discomfort of the hungry people, the two of them were eager to go back, and they must inform the imperial court of these things, so that the officials who suppressed the disaster relief funds could arrive earlier, and maybe they could save more hungry people.
Hurried overnight, and the two arrived at the yamen in the early morning.
The White Dragon Envoy and the others were still investigating according to the previous agreement, and they couldn't believe it when they saw that the two of them were a little disgraced early in the morning.
Yu Linglong rubbed her eyes, and after confirming that it was Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan, she ran over quickly, "My lord, you are back." ”
Unloading the horse looked at Gu Chenghan with a smile on his face.
Yu Linglong's smile made Zhen Chutian couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Zhen Chutian pursing her lips and smiling, Yu Linglong was a little embarrassed by her laughter, and looked at her sideways, "What is Zhen laughing at?" ”
"No, Brother Yu, I didn't laugh at you." Although she said this, Zhen Chutian's smiling face betrayed her.
"Zhen, you said, why are you laughing?" Yu Linglong's twisting strength is up.
Seeing Yu Linglong's anxious look, Zhen Chutian raised his hand and surrendered, "Okay, okay, Brother Yu, what are you in a hurry, I'll just say it." ”
Gu Chenghan stood on the side from beginning to end, didn't do anything, just watched, but there was a smile on his face.
Although the White Dragon Envoy stood on the side of Yu Linglong, he didn't know why he always asked Zhen Chutian why he was smiling.
It seems normal for her to laugh, huh?
However, the White Dragon Envoy saw the smile on Gu Chenghan's face, as if he had discovered some new continent, and pointed at Gu Chenghan, "My lord, are you smiling?" ”
"Nonsense, the official is tired." The White Dragon Envoy's words made the smile on Gu Chenghan's face disappear in an instant, and then he walked in with his hands in his hands.
The white dragon envoy smiled like a child, watched Gu Chenghan go in, and poked Yu Linglong's arm, "Linglong, I found that the adults went out and came back a little differently. ”
Zhen Chutian saw that Yu Linglong didn't entangle herself, so she also followed in, but the smile on her face was gone.
The two of them went in, and Yu Linglong glanced at the white dragon envoy, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Look, I know that there is something wrong with the two of them." ”
"Yu Linglong, this official has given you too little work, right?"
Leng Buling's words made Yu Linglong shake her head in fright, "My lord, I was wrong. ”
Gu Chenghan's ears are really good.
Zhen Chutian didn't know what Yu Linglong said, but Gu Chenghan heard it even farther away.
After entering the yamen, the prefect went out to greet him.
"Lord Gu, how is it, are the hungry people okay now?" The prefect frowned, looking worried to death.
Gu Chenghan didn't speak, just frowned slightly, Zhen Chutian followed closely and bowed to the prefect, "The situation is not objective, send a letter to the imperial court now, and ask the official who escorted the disaster relief money to arrive within three days." ”
After listening to Zhen Chutian's words, how dare the prefect slack off, human life matters, "Yes." ”
replied, and without waiting for Gu Chenghan to speak, he went directly to do something.
Yu Linglong and the others also came in at this time, and Gu Chenghan sat in the main hall, "Let's talk about the Zhang family." ”
"Send this to Song Jiang first." Yu Linglong was just about to speak, and Gu Chenghan remembered the maid's corpse.
Yu Linglong saw Gu Chenghan pointing to the sack in her hand, she wanted to ask just now, but she didn't have time yet?
"My lord, what is this?" Yu Linglong pointed to the sack in her hand.
"Corpses."
"What? Brought it all the way? Yu Linglong smacked his tongue and looked at Gu Chenghan, he thought he had heard it wrong.
"Send it to Song Jiang first, let him see, the White Dragon Envoy will talk about the situation in the past few days." Gu Chenghan didn't bother to explain so much, so he beckoned Yu Linglong to pass.
Knowing Gu Chenghan's temperament, Yu Linglong went directly.
After Yu Linglong went out, the White Dragon Envoy informed Gu Chenghan of what he had found out in the past few days.
In fact, they didn't find any useful clues, and the third lady didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
However, they found out that the third lady did leave the house on the night of the second miss's death, and what she did has not yet been found, and there is no progress on the corpse's side, and the people on the second master's side seem to have a lot of peace.
If there is anything, it should be Master Zhang's side, his son-in-law caused a lot of trouble, a yellow flower girl was pregnant and found the Zhang family, but this Zhang Gongzi was blamed on the stupid son of the second master Zhang.
