On the way back, Zhao Jing abandoned his mount and climbed into Qi Yunshu's carriage.

In view of the scene that had just happened at the gate of the Qi family's courtyard, Qi Yunshu was still a little panicked when she thought about it, and when she saw Zhao Jing coming in the carriage, she quietly moved to the corner of the carriage, leaned her face against the wall of the carriage, and kept her head shut without saying a word.

Zhao Jing wanted to say something, to comfort her or hug her, but seeing Qi Yunshu's obvious rejection of people thousands of miles away, he temporarily stopped his thoughts, and added his lips and was speechless for a while.

After a while, he did a good job of psychological construction, and opened his mouth to say: "Lady just ...... me"

Before the words were uttered, an exclamation was heard outside the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, and the magpie came in anxiously: "Master, master, the tree is outside!" ”

Qi Yunshu looked in the direction of the magpie's finger, and saw that they had already walked to the door of the Hanging Pot Hall.

Behind the arm-thick pillar was a short, thin body poking its head into the fence.

There is Qi Yunshu There is a row of railings built by Qi Yunshu in order to facilitate the patients queuing up to see a doctor, and let people build a row of railings, which can be sat reliably, and the little son of the tree hides there, if it is not for the sharp eyes of the magpie, I am afraid that I will miss it.

Qi Yunshu hurriedly beckoned people to his side: "Shushu, why did you come here?" ”

Shushu's family of three was brought to the capital by Zhao Jing as a witness and Liu Pingzhong and his party, and initially opened a room in the inn for them in order to settle them, and later handed over the case to the criminal department after the case was handed over clearly.

Qi Yunshu originally wanted to wait until the Criminal Department sentenced the case according to the emperor's intentions, and asked Zhao Jing to inquire about their situation, but she didn't expect Shushu to remember what she told him, and then found the Hanging Pot Hall.

"Sister, sister...... I've finally found you! As soon as Shushu saw Qi Yunshu in the carriage, he immediately pounced, pulled her sleeve and tears flowed down!

"Shushu, what's wrong with you?" Qi Yunshu panicked in her heart, although Shushu is not tall, he is not a crying bag, how much grievance he has suffered, crying like this!

Qi Yunshu casually handed him a silk handkerchief and asked him to wipe his tears.

Shushu took it, but instead of wiping his tears with a silk handkerchief, he sucked his nose hard and sucked back the snot and tears, and then hummed and said:

"Sister, sister, someone is going to kill us, someone is going to kill us!" He was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, and his speech was intermittent.

Qi Yunshu's heart jumped and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"No, I don't know, I don't know who it is! They were all dressed in black, I didn't see it clearly, I just knew about it...... I'll run away! ”

"You escaped, what about your mother and sister Yingying?" Qi Yunshu thought of the mother and daughter who were handed over with Shushu.

"Sister, don't worry, they are hiding, hiding in a very safe place!" The voice of the family tree tree became normal, and with the consciousness of being a man, he straightened his back and told his discovery in a slightly immature voice.

It turned out that they were arranged by the people of the Criminal Department to live in an ordinary post house on Huining Street, and at first their life there was quite peaceful, and the family lived together every day, and they didn't have to do anything to eat and drink, and occasionally they could talk to the Chuzhou villagers who came with them to testify.

But slowly the tree found that the people in the post house were gradually decreasing, a few days ago was still playing together together Wang Lao 1 two family of the big brother turned his head and disappeared the next day, and then there were two families missing intermittently, someone asked, the people in the post house said that they checked out and left.

Some temporarily retreated and did not want to testify, and some found relatives in the capital to defect to the past......

Everyone basically believed this, but Shushu didn't believe it, because Second Brother Wang had already told him that his sister died at their hands, and he must stay to testify to avenge her, and their family didn't have any relatives in the capital!

Since then, the tree has quietly kept an eye on it, and when he got up in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, he accidentally found that a man in black sneaked in and poured the medicine of Zhang Laosan's family who lived downstairs and quietly stuffed it into a sack and carried it out!

This is the real reason why their Chuzhou fellow villagers have disappeared one after another!

Shushu was very smart, and after knowing this, he persuaded his mother and sister to escape from the post house while the guards were not paying attention, and hid outside for a day, but he really had no choice but to think of coming to Qi Yunshu.

For the past two days, I had no money on my body, so I had to sleep on the streets, tired and hungry, panicked and afraid, even if I was a strong person, I had to be worn out by this ruthless life!

But just when Shushu was about to despair, he suddenly found Qi Yunshu, which made him suddenly ignite hope, and he couldn't bear the bitterness and grievances in his heart, so he cried uncontrollably!

"It's okay now, you don't have a place to go for the time being, just follow me!" After Qi Yunshu knew the ins and outs of the matter, it was naturally impossible to watch them wander the streets again.

"No matter who did it, I'm afraid it's all related to the Chuzhou case!" Zhao Jing had been listening to Shushu very carefully before, and at this time, when it was time to talk to Qi Yunshu, he hurriedly followed this topic.

Qi Yunshu thought the same way, but now she thinks that the most urgent thing is to settle Shushu's family, and notify the Criminal Department in time to protect the safety of witnesses.

With Zhao Jingzai, he naturally didn't know how to work Qi Yunshu, so he took all the errands on himself very simply, and only let Qi Yunshu settle down in Shushu.

The couple went their separate ways, Zhao Jing rode to the Criminal Department to find the principal to remind him of the matter, and Qi Yunshu found Hu Shi and Yingying, mother and daughter, who lived in the City God Temple, under the leadership of Shushu, and took them to the Zhiwei Sauce Shop and settled in the backyard where they had lived before.

This courtyard has been vacant since Qi Yancai and Liu Sanyuan moved away, occasionally when the shopkeeper Liu checked the accounts in the shop too late, he would rest in one of the wings for a night, and at other times there was only an old man and a grandmother guarding the door to do some cleaning and tidying up the yard, but it was a rare quiet place.

"This is ......" Hu Shi looked at the small but excellently manicured yard, and hesitated.

Qi Yunshu was afraid that she would have a burden in her heart and comforted: "This is the yard of a good friend of mine, as long as you live here and don't go out casually, you will be very safe!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Hu took the sisters and brothers to Qi Yunshu for a long time, and said that she was the noble person of their family, a reborn parent, and helped them again and again, she was really a living bodhisattva......

Hu Shi's words were so good that he couldn't wait to put all the good words on her head, Qi Yunshu helplessly stroked her forehead, and hurriedly changed the topic and told them again: "Right now, the bad guys are hiding in the dark, you must not go out, if there is anything you want to buy, just look for Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua!" ”

Shushu and Yingying agreed simply, and there was a little hesitation between Hu's eyebrows.

"Our baggage is still in the inn, and there are coils and clothes in it, if you don't take it, ......"

Of course, Qi Yunshu disagreed, persuaded her to ask Aunt Hua to buy anything, and she had already kept the money!

Hu thought for a while, and a pair of children were persuading her, so she reluctantly agreed.

Qi Yunshu returned home with peace of mind.

The husband and wife finished their own things and returned to Zhao's mansion at dusk, and they told each other that Zhao Jing said that there was a slight problem with the Criminal Department!

"The squire of the Criminal Department guessed that someone inside them had leaked the residence of the witnesses, and now he has ordered his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance, and he has also set up a net in the post house, if those people dare to come again, they will definitely be wiped out!" Zhao Jingdao.

Qi Yunshu was a little worried about the missing crowd.

Zhao Jing comforted: "It is speculated that their lives should not be in danger, after all, they don't know much, there is no need to cause trouble, they just disappear for a while, and they will appear after the case is tried!" "It's also possible that he will be sent back to Chuzhou directly!

"Who will do this?" Qi Yunshu was very curious about who would dare to do such a thing in the capital!

"The Son of Heaven dares to do his own thing, he must be from an extraordinary background and has a lot of power, and the Chuzhou case originally involves a wide range, so it's hard to say who it is!" Zhao Jing has several candidates in his heart, but the case has been investigated clearly when he is in his hands, and the first evil has been arrested, and now he has been transferred to the Criminal Department.

No matter how tightly he bites it, he is overstepping his authority, so he can't say much about the rest, just saying that the Criminal Department is full of talents, and he will be able to find out soon!

Qi Yunshu sighed, that's all!

Originally, the couple didn't plan to reach out to the case again, but they didn't expect that something happened the next day that Qi Yunshu had to get involved.

Hu is dead!

On the afternoon of the second day after moving into the sauce shop, he died in a small alley two streets away from the inn.

When Qi Yunshu heard about it, she was settling accounts in the house, and Su Zhi knew that she had sent someone over as soon as she came back, and she rarely calmed down and took a look.

Before he had time to rejoice in the high profits set in it, he was smashed by the news of the murder of the Hu family brought by Zhao Yu.

"Prepare the car, I'm going there!" She's going to see for herself.

"I can't look at it, some people passing by have reported to the official, and now the people of Shuntian Mansion Yin have passed, and I am afraid that people will have left long ago before rushing over at this time!

Besides, her death is so miserable, you really don't need to ......" Zhao Yu has seen it with his own eyes, and even a ruthless person like him feels uncomfortable, let alone Qi Yunshu and a weak woman!

"The carriage is too slow, it's really too late, then prepare the horse!" Qi Yunshu didn't say anything more, got up and rushed out.

The half-hour drive shortened Qi Yunshu by half, and arrived at the place where Hu died before the Shuntian Mansion's errands.

Her death was horrific, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, her upper half was bitten by the wind, her body was bleeding, and it was impossible to tell from the tooth marks whether it was a man or a wild dog.

There were traces of being convicted of a crime in the two retreats, and there was a burden piled up beside him, and all the valuable things in it were gone, only some shabby clothes with patches and a piece of oily blue furoshiki.

Her eyes were wide open, her hands were clawed, and she clutched the bluestone slab on the ground tightly, picking so hard that even the nails of her thumb were pulled out.

"Ah......" Qi Yunshu's heart swelled with great grief and sadness, and tears slipped down disobediently.

Hu's death was too miserable and pitiful.

"Who did it, who did it?" Qi Yunshu vigorously suppressed the urge to cry and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.

Zhao Yu shook his head: "There are no witnesses, some people speculate that it may have been done by the ruffians in the nearby market, for the purpose of robbing money and lust!" ”

The looted baggage on the ground and the body of Hu's half-fruit speak volumes.

Qi Yunshu let tears blur her eyes: "No, I don't believe it, go check, go check!" She couldn't accept that Hu, who was alive and well yesterday, suddenly became such a lifeless corpse, and died so undignified......
