I only heard the voice of Miss Pan outside, and she also revealed a little anxious: "I really have something urgent to find you, and I hope to see you soon!" ”

Chu Jiao waved her hand towards the red sleeves, and the red sleeves hurriedly led Miss Pan into the carriage.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I don't have any friends, and I don't know who to turn to for this kind of thing, I know that you are a person with a clear mind, so I came to ask you for this matter, I want to say that my brother's death is not so simple, so I want to ask you to help me find out the truth and give my brother a safe life."

"How can I help you? I am not from the Pan family, and now that the Pan family and the Chu family are no longer related, I have no reason to enter and leave the Pan family. ”

Hearing Chu Jiao say this, Miss Pan seemed to be even more anxious, grabbed Chu Jiao's hand, and then there were tears in her eyes: "I know that you are a reasonable person, please help me." ”

"Okay, you want me to help you tell me, what do you know?"

Miss Pan seemed to be a little nervous, and seemed to have made a very important decision, she took out something from her sleeve, it was a blood-stained hairpin, which looked like something from the Chu family.

Chu Jiao stretched out her hand to take it and looked at the hairpin covered with blood, she looked up at Miss Pan.

Miss Pan's eyes were nervous: "Here's the thing, that day I sewed clothes for my brother and wanted to send them to my brother, and when I entered my brother's sister-in-law's courtyard, I heard a noisy sound, I was afraid that the couple was talking about themselves, so I stood at the door and didn't dare to go in, but I also listened with my ears pricked up."

Listening to the two arguing about something, my brother's body was actually weak, and after a while I heard a painful sound inside, and I hurriedly pushed open the door but my brother pretended to be fine.

This made me even more worried, and from then on I was in a state of panic, until one day I heard the news of my brother's death, and I didn't believe it, so I went back and forth outside the courtyard to find this hairpin.

I looked at the women's objects on the left and right, and they must have something to do with the woman, and the quarrel that day, I realized that my brother and sister-in-law were not as affectionate as the next person's mouth.

I explained this to my father and mother, but my father and mother said that I was messing around, I really don't understand that this is clearly an obvious thing, why should my father and mother help hide it, since then I have been confined by my mother and not allowed to go out, my brother is about to be buried, I really can't bear the truth to be covered up like this, I want to ask you to help me. ”

Miss Pan's words were sincere, Chu Jiao couldn't tell the truth from the false, so she could only comfort her first: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth about this matter, but I still have one more important thing now, I have to go back to the house to deal with it first, why don't you go back with me and wait for me to deal with it before I go to Pan's house with you." ”

After listening to this, Miss Pan's eyes really lit up, and she stopped talking and only followed Chu Jiao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chu Zhennan listened to Chu Jiao explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, the shock in his heart was inevitable, if this was just a matter of the Chu family, Chu Zhennan said that it could be solved privately, but now it is a matter of the Pan family, no matter what, they always ask for the truth of the facts.

Unexpectedly, my father quickly agreed that this matter must be reported to the official.

The matter was reported to the imperial court, and the criminal department immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.

When the crowd rushed into Pan's house, the old man and his wife of the Pan family were still a little confused.

When he saw Miss Pan hiding behind Chu Jiao, a strange color appeared in Master Pan's eyes.

"My son just died, and there is no one here to report to the police! You must be mistaken, my son has been buried, is it possible that my son will die and not rest in peace? Mrs. Pan said and looked at Chu Jiao, her eyes were quite ruthless?

"Second Miss Chu, I don't understand what I have in mind for doing this, where is our Pan family sorry for your Chu family?"

In the face of Mrs. Pan's vigour, the Criminal Department is only responsible for investigating the case and does not give her face.

The person in charge of investigating the case this time is Zuo Shilang Yonghui of the Criminal Department.

"Madame, this public security is in charge of investigating this case, and please don't embarrass me."

After Yonghui finished speaking, he didn't give Mrs. Pan face at all, and went directly to the place where Pan Gongzi once lived to investigate and see if there were any clues.

When Miss Pan returned home, she was very afraid that the people in her family would be angry, so she brought Chu Jiao over, which could be regarded as emboldening herself.

Chu Jiao found a very strange thing, the entire Pan family is a scholarly family, it stands to reason that there should be no money, and there should be a few famous calligraphy and paintings plus antiques, which should be left by the ancestors.

However, Chu Jiao found that the people of the Pan family were very extravagant, and the entire main hall was magnificent just now, even if it was wrapped in white cloth, you could still see the true face inside.

And Pan Gongzi's room is different, it is very clean and tidy, not to mention that there are no accessories, which shows that this person usually doesn't like some gorgeous and impetuous things.

Looking at Chu Jiao's puzzled gaze, Miss Pan explained: "My brother is usually like this, and he is also very thrifty. ”

"You should know that this is not what I want to ask, your family should be in business."

Miss Pan nodded directly: "The family has been doing business more than ten years ago, it should be selling cloth, I don't know a lot, I only know that over the years, the day has been making money, the situation of the family is getting better and better, and our days have also met comfortably, and my heart is often full of gratitude." ”

The cloth seller can make money every day, such a statement is not too much, but the Pan family has been doing business for more than ten years, and outsiders rarely hear about it.

"I wonder if there are any other things in your house that find you weird?"

Miss Pan was a little hesitant and twisted when she heard this: "I heard my father reprimanding my brother in the study several times, every time my brother came out, he was red-faced, and the two of them didn't negotiate, my father wanted my brother to take over the family's business but my brother refused to die, I don't understand why, maybe my brother's mind is not in the mall and wants to get famous, right?" ”

Chu Jiao felt that this matter was not so simple, she quietly left Yonghui and continued to be in charge of investigating the case here.

Chu Jiao used the relationship of the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate the business situation of the Pan family over the years.

It turned out that the Pan family's business was not too big, and there were no more than a dozen shops in total, and the daily flow of water was also clearly distinguishable, and it did not look like it could make money every day.

"Keep investigating and see if we can find any flaws in the accounts." Chu Jiao said to Xiuying

Xiuying seemed to have become Chu Jiao's right-hand man, and soon Xiuying brought new news, it turned out that the Pan family also did some other business in private, but these businesses were not visible.

Lord Chu Jiao looked at the news above, and also had some thoughts in her heart, could it be?

As soon as Chu Jiao had an idea in her heart, she wanted to confirm it, so she immediately went to Pan's house to find Mrs. Da.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just idle to talk to you this time, what I want to ask you is, can the Pan family's business support the Pan family over the years?"

"Naturally, our family has been a scholarly family for generations, although the business is also a small business, and it has never been involved too much." My eldest lady has changed her appearance, and her eyes are cold, and everything she says is not leaky.

"Let's boldly guess what kind of shady business your family has done, but Pan Gongzi is unwilling to join these people, so I persuade you not to do these things again, but your master went to quarrel with him a few times, I'm right."

The eldest lady's face was as usual: "You can eat nonsense but you can't talk nonsense, things can only be spoken with real evidence, if you talk nonsense like this, I will send you to Shuntian Mansion." ”

"If it's really like you said, then why is the Pan family so rich now, and as far as I know, the Pan family bought a few more houses a few days ago, and none of them are in the capital, is it related?"

"The less you know about some things, the better, I advise Second Miss Chu not to get involved."

When Mrs. Pan saw Chu Jiao menacing, she no longer hid her true face.

Chu Jiao smiled: "Actually, a lot of things are in front of me, think about it, if I follow the house you bought and continue to investigate, will there be any gains?" ”

Mrs. Pan's face did not change: "Please go out." ”

Watching Chu Jiao leave, Mrs. Pan hurriedly went to find Master Pan.

Redsleeves was frightened just now.

"Miss, don't say that, what if you provoked that Mrs. Pan just now, and she came to deal with us in anger?"

"That's fine, such a woman can't hide things, and when she panics, she will show her feet, just let Xiuying keep an eye on it." Chu Jiao looked ahead, and her voice was soft.

Before the sun had completely set, Mrs. Pan covered her whole body tightly, got into a dilapidated carriage, and went to a house on the outskirts of the city.

"Stop this matter for a while, don't come back and forth for the time being." Mrs. Pan said to the man.

The man was dressed in black, and his face could not be seen clearly in the light, so he only heard him laugh strangely, took a heavy bag from the eldest lady's hand, and opened it to see that it was full of gold.

He nodded as if he was extremely satisfied, and Mrs. Pan admonished: "If the matter is revealed, we will all die, understand?" ”

Regardless of whether the man understood it or not, Mrs. Pan left in a hurry.

Xiuying followed the man all the way, only to see the man walking towards the mass grave, as if looking for something, and after finding it, he turned on the fire fold, burned the thing, and then left satisfied.

Chu Jiao looked at the pile of dead people, and opened the man just now, her pupils gradually dilated, this person was the little guy next to Pan Zhou.
