On the carriage that came to pick up the buckwheat, in addition to Ah Gua, there was also a thin and tall young man, Ah Gua introduced: "Girl, this is Xiao Gao, Shao Zhanshi just recruited him, and now we are following Huyan Shao Zhanshi." ”

Xiao Gao didn't get out of the car, sat on the wheel and nodded to Hua Qiao, which was regarded as a greeting. Hua Qiao didn't care, and got into the carriage with Can'er.

The carriage went all the way north to the Taiping Gate.

"Girl, it's not peaceful over there at the Taiping Gate, there are some three religions and nine streams inside and out, plus there is a death row outside the city wall, ghosts cry wolves day and night, what are we going to do there?" Agua asked curiously.

When he came out today, the adult asked him to bring Xiao Gao, and he knew that the girl must not have gone shopping on the long street.

"The girl wants to see where my mother lived when she was a child. Brother Gua, you just need to catch the car, so many words. People say that men are domineering when they don't talk much! ”

Puff...... Xiao Gao next to him smiled domineeringly.

Can'er came to Taipingmen with Li's mother, and Li's mother also told Can'er in detail about the place where the entire yard was slaughtered.

For the magnates, the Taiping Gate was an unlucky place, and it was only when the city was besieged, the only gate outside the city walls that did not have a moat, would be important. Without the attention of the government, more than ten years have passed, and the streets and alleys here are still the same.

Hua Qiao walked into the alley with Can'er, Xiao Gao followed them from a distance, his arms clasped to his chest, along with his old saber. Soon, Can'er found the yard in the depths of the alley.

It was a mixed courtyard where four or five families lived.

"Who are you looking for?"

Hua Qiao was probing her brain to look into the yard, and a lady took a ruyi pat, patted the quilt in the yard, and asked when she saw them.

"Auntie, I want to ask, is there a sister-in-law living here, her name is Liu Yunniang." Flower buckwheat still wants to try.

"Liu Yunniang? There is no such person. Is it rented a house? Sometimes tenants change quickly, and people don't know each other. ”

"Oh, thank you then. How long has the aunt lived here? ”

"My family has been living here for 10 years."

"It's only been ten years......" Hua Qiao was slightly disappointed, and the eldest lady saw that there was nothing wrong, so she turned around and went into the house.

"Less...... Young master, my mother said that this place was vacant for a long time before it was re-sold, and it is estimated that the people who came later did not know that there was such a thing. Can'er said carefully.

Hua Qiao nodded, and was about to turn around and go out, when there was a thunderclap in the courtyard, and two packages were thrown out of the house, and then a woman and a child of seven or eight years old were pushed out.

"If you can't pay the rent, get out of the way, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's business!" A short, stocky middle-aged man crossed his waist like a shrew, and the door frame was almost out of his frame.

The woman picked up the package on the floor, turned back and spat at the door, and pulled the child out, muttering as she went, "What's the big deal!" If it weren't for the dead man's wealth, if it weren't for the lack of money, we wouldn't be living in this unfortunate place! ”

"This sister-in-law ......" Hua Qiao hurriedly stopped her.

The woman took the child in her arms, looked at them warily and asked, "What is the matter?" I don't sell children. ”

"I didn't want to buy your child, I just wanted to ask you about something." Hua Qiao smiled and took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve pocket, stuffed it into the woman's hand, and asked, "What did my sister-in-law just say about the dead man's wealth he made?" ”

"Oh, that's what happened." The woman first stuffed the broken silver into her sleeve pocket, and then said with a smile:

"I've heard that, too. This boss is next to the Taiping Gate to open a restaurant, more than ten years ago this yard was slaughtered by officers and soldiers, several families living in it are all dead, that one, is a widow's property, the widow was helping in his shop cook, people died, the house was swallowed by this black-hearted boss......"

"What kind of tongue to chew, I'll kill you!" I don't know when the man went out, holding a bamboo broom, and was about to hit them with his head and face.

But before the others arrived, they couldn't move, and Xiao Gao bounced over like a shadow, and with a "poof" sword came out of its sheath and rested on the neck of the short and fat man.

Seeing this, the woman was half frightened to death, and ran away without looking back.

"Escort him back to his room."

Xiao Gao's sword used a little strength, and the man obediently followed the sword to his room.

The sun was too bright outside, but it was dark inside, and there was a table under the window, a small bed against the wall, and an old wooden box, all the belongings of this room.

Hua Qiao said: "I'm not here today to investigate how your property came from, I just want to ask you, why were all the people in this yard killed?" ”

"Ouch my young master, oh no, my aunt! How do I know that? If you knew, I was beheaded back then, how can you still see me today? When the man heard this, he was not here to ask for property, so he was slightly relieved.

Xiao Gao took the sword back from the scabbard and walked out, the man was secretly relieved, moving his neck, but saw Xiao Gao pick up a stick from the yard to dry clothes and come in, without saying a word, a stick hit the man's calf.

The man rolled to the ground in pain with an "oops", and he shouted angrily: "You dare to hit me? I'm going to report to the police and accuse you of lynching!" ”

Xiao Gao didn't care about him, and hit him on the ass with a stick.

"Oops! Help, kill someone! The man howled.

"Sue the officer? What about the evidence? Xiao Gao said coldly.

"Evidence?" The man scooped out his trouser legs, revealing his aching calves. It's weird, it's obviously painful, but there is not even a trace on the calf. Now he knows that he has met a master, this style of play is the "ghost sorrow" in the yamen!

Rotten flesh is not rotten skin, and broken menstruation continues to bone.

"Now you can say it, right?" Although Hua Qiao couldn't understand what was going on, she saw the fear in the man's eyes.

"The original owner of this house is a widow, Yongle six years, she helped in the kitchen of my store, one day she came to say, quit her job and don't do it, I asked her if she was a man? She said no, and picked up a woman who had fainted on the side of the road, who was still holding a newborn child......"

"What's the woman's name?" Hua Qiao asked.

"I don't know this, except that she had two ingots of gold, and gave the widow one ingot, a whole ten taels! But it was the inner treasury silver, the things in the palace, there was no source, no one dared to accept it, and the widow did not dare to use it, so she brought it to me and begged me for help...... I poured some wine and got her ...... On the bed, let her give me the gold for safekeeping......"

Xiao Gao hit him in the leg with a stick again.

"Why do you still fight when I said it......"

"You cheat people for money and seek real estate, is it wrong to beat you?" Hua Qiao felt that Xiao Gao was simply a roundworm in her stomach, which was too relieving!

Then the woman ran away with the child, and a group of officers and soldiers came and killed the whole courtyard. The widow's deed was already with me, so I took the sheep with me......"

Hua Qiao knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she walked out of the hut with her hands behind her back and her feet.

Can'er watched from behind:

Why does this girl's action look like my family......
