Just as the two of them turned around and were about to leave the courtyard, Ye Piaoling seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes carefully looked around again, and the reddest looked at the ground in the middle of the courtyard.

The original thick fallen leaves and dust were blown away by the momentum of her explosion, and the flat bluestone ground was very clean at this time. Under the sun, there is a new feeling.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jue asked.

Ye Piaoling shook his head, wanting to say something, but he was a little unsure. Then he squatted down, touched the bluestone ground with his hand, and muttered: "I remember very clearly, because of the strength of the enemy that night, although there was no too fierce battle, there were also powerful attacks. Why is the ground so flat and there is no trace at all?"

"Could it be that the people of the Sword Pavilion rescued you and came back to repair it, they will definitely deal with the traces of the battle. Qin Jue said guessingly. Generally, this kind of thing must be dealt with by someone, either the Sword Pavilion or the local manager.

Besides, after all these years, there may have been other people living here during this time.

"Trimming so carefully?" Ye Piaoling said softly, looking sideways at Qin Jue.

Qin Jue was also stunned, he didn't care too much about this problem at first. After the other party asked again, he also had doubts in his heart. There is no trace of the whole courtyard, and I am afraid that it will have to be rebuilt.

Judging from Ye Piaoling's performance, it was obvious that everything in this courtyard was exactly the same as she remembered. Who would go to great lengths to erase all traces and renovate everything all over again.

If this is the case, then there must be a certain purpose, and what is the purpose of the other party?

At that time, the Ye family was the only one left, and the other party's purpose for doing this must be related to her. Because apart from her, no one else cares about the tragedy of this ordinary family.

Ye Piaoling vaguely seemed to be about to grasp something, but he couldn't think clearly.

"You haven't been back for so many years, and you don't know anything about the situation here, so if you really want to find out, I think it's better to ask the people here. No matter what happens, no matter how well it is covered up, there will always be some clues. ”

After listening to what Qin Jue said, Ye Piaoling agreed very much, because he cared about it, he didn't expect this.

After the two left the hospital, they went door-to-door to ask. But the answers of those who asked were all about the same. Basically, the answer is that this family was destroyed overnight twenty years ago, and the rest is unknown.

Occasionally, someone talks about what follows, but it's just a few words, and it doesn't matter yet.

After continuing to ask a few people, Qin Jie's brows couldn't help frowning tightly. When Ye Piaoling was about to knock on the courtyard door of another house, Qin Jue stopped her movement.

"Do you have any sense that these people's answers are very clever?"

"It's all ingenious?" Ye Piaoling repeated, not reacting for a while. She felt that ordinary people were in awe of the vendetta between monks, and it was normal for them not to care and not ask too much. There was no doubt about the answers he received from the crowd.

Yes, their answers may sound reasonable, but they are surprisingly consistent. Qin Jue said with a deep groan. Although he himself can't say whose answer is questionable. But it was this all-reasonable answer that made him feel unreasonable.

"This phenomenon of the same answer, in detective science, would be considered a 'collusion of confessions' or someone deliberately gave them the same statement. Either way, there is only one purpose, and that is to hide the truth. ”

"Detective science, collusion?" Although Ye Piaoling didn't understand these two words, he understood the overall meaning of Qin Jie's words.

It was already noon now, and Qin Jue decided that the two of them would find a restaurant to eat first, and then think about what they could do. If it really doesn't work, you can only try to force the question.

The two of them entered a very ordinary restaurant and found an empty table to sit down. As soon as I finished ordering the meal, I heard the sound of scolding coming from the counter. The two turned their heads to look and saw the female shopkeeper behind the counter with her eyebrows upside down, stretching out her hand to point at an old man in tattered clothes and scolding.

The female shopkeeper looked to be in her thirties, with a middle-to-upper posture, and was obviously very annoyed at the moment. Facing the old man, the scolding is also ugly.

But the old man always had a playful face, and he didn't seem to care.

Qin Jue and Ye Piaoling listened for a while, and probably understood that it was the old man who repeatedly owed money for wine and food. After drinking again today, not only did he not give money, but he also had to bring another pot before leaving, which made the other party angry.

"Dead old thing, do you think that the old lady's wine is the rain in the sky, and she doesn't want money? After owing money for wine and food so many times, where do you dare to reach out and beg for wine? If you don't have wine, get out of here! When you pay back all the money you owe, you will have to buy wine. ”

"Liu Rusi, you say this again, how can I pay the money I owe? You bring the wine to me, and I will pay ,,,you all the money for the wine ,,, food another day. ,,,"

The old man was full of wine, his eyes were drunk, and he couldn't speak well, so he finally finished his words and burped with wine. Suddenly, a smell of wine sprayed on the face of the female shopkeeper, and the other party frowned, and fanned the air with his hand again and again to disperse the wine.

"No wine! If you don't leave, I'm going to shout at the guy to hit people with sticks." The female shopkeeper said angrily.

The two sides are obviously old acquaintances, and the old man didn't even eat this set when he heard the words. Directly play the scoundrel and lie down on the counter. "Life without alcohol is harder than death, I was simply beaten to death by you!"

Qin Jue smiled dumbly when he saw this scene, the degree of shamelessness of this old man was really rare. But he thought about it for a while, got up and walked forward, "I'll pay for the wine that this old man owes." ”

Qin Jie's words fell, and the old man immediately stopped making trouble. When I looked back, I saw a young man with a good appearance and a jade belt. Although he dared to mess with the female shopkeeper, he seemed a little timid to Qin Jie, a stranger who knew his identity at a glance, and stood stunned without saying a word.

Of course, the other party was willing to pay off the debt for him, which made him a little excited.

The pungent energy on the female shopkeeper's face disappeared, and she showed a modest smile and confirmed: "Childe is really willing to help him settle all his past debts?"

Qin Jue nodded, and then began to calculate the beads in one hand, flipping through the ledger page by page with one hand.

"Thirty-three taels of silver. ”

It seems that the old man has indeed been in arrears for a long time, and after Qin Jue settled the account, he asked the female shopkeeper to bring a pot of good wine and beckoned the old man to come and sit together.

The other party didn't know what Qin Jue's intentions were, so he could only sit down with a smiling face. However, looking at the fairy-like leaves floating on the other side, the old man was a little ashamed of himself, and he was very nervous.

After the old man sat down, Qin Jue poured a glass of wine for the other party and handed it over. Wen Yan said: "Don't worry about it, my husband and wife came to look for relatives." According to the address to search, the result is that the house is empty, and there is only one empty courtyard left, so I want to ask you about the situation. ”

The old man looked awake, and said immediately: "Even if the son asks, the little old man must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
