CHAPTER XXXIV

Seeing that the man had lost all his money, he had no intention of leaving.

Li Yan nodded at Luo Minghe, who quickly stepped forward and put his arm on the man's shoulder.

The man turned his head to look at Luo Minghe, frowned, and asked cautiously, "You...... Is there something wrong? ”

"Well, there's something I need you to help with."

The man turned his head to look at the table, where everyone had finished placing their bets. The most important thing is that he has no money on him, and the person in front of him is not wearing a vulgar thing, he may be able to make a fortune.

"There's a lot of people here, let's go out and talk."

"Let's go."

The two walked out of the gambling house like this, and Liyan followed behind the two of them.

When they arrived in the uninhabited alley, the man said flatteringly: "Childe, what do you want me to do?" ”

Luo Minghe raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Zhao Qing." The man replied.

"Chengnan Qiao's family, do you know?"

Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "How can you not know this, Master Qiao is a rich man." ”

"Then, what about the second miss of the Qiao family?"

"Look at what you said, Miss Qiao Er lives in the courtyard of the deep house, how can I see her?"

Luo Minghe raised his eyebrows and said, "Did I say you've seen her?" ”

"I ...... I'm ......" Zhao Qing smiled at Luo Minghe, turned around and ran.

He saw that Liyan was a girl, so he rushed straight over. It wasn't until he was knocked to the ground by Liyan that he finally realized that he might be in great trouble.

"I didn't do anything, you can't do this to me, I ...... I'm going to report to the police. ”

Li Yan looked at him condescendingly, and said indifferently: "We are trying to send you to the government, and you have saved us a lot of trouble by doing this." ”

At this time, Luo Minghe also walked to his side.

"Now, it's time to explain, right?"

Zhao Qing laughed at the two of them twice, "What are you talking about, I don't know." ”

"No, only when you see Miss Qiao Er will you be willing to speak."

Hearing this, Zhao Qing's face turned slightly pale, and he whispered, "Second Miss has already left, why are you here?" ”

"You know the rumors out there." Loming River Channel.

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it."

Luo Minghe thought for a while and asked, "The money He Feng gave you has not been spent, right?" ”

Zhao Qing looked at Luo Minghe with a long mouth, and said stiffly: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Luo Minghe looked at him and sneered, "Although your face is more ordinary, there is not only one person who has seen you, there will always be people who recognize you, don't you say?" Then, he turned to Liyan and said, "I think we should stop talking nonsense with him, just hand him over to the people of the yamen, and when you get inside, you don't believe that he still doesn't open his mouth." ”

Zhao Qing swallowed nervously, and when he saw Luo Minghe reaching out to grab him, he hurriedly said, "I said, I said." ”

Things are not complicated, when he was telling fortunes on the street, He Feng led people to find him. He took out fifty taels of silver and said that he would let him go to Qiao's house, and told Master Qiao that he needed to go to the old mansion for a few days before the second lady got married. After the deed is done, he will give him another fifty taels.

He thought about it carefully and felt that the money was too easy to make, so he happily agreed. Because He Feng told him not to let the Qiao family find out his identity, he made a fake beard and glued it.

After that, he went to Qiao's house and told Master Qiao everything He Feng had explained. For this, Master Qiao also gave him a sum of money.

After Miss Qiao Er moved into the old mansion, He Feng gave him the rest of the money.

At that time, he thought that Miss Qiao Er liked He Feng, and he did it to make it easier for the two of them...... Meet. It's just that within a few days, he heard the news that Miss Qiao Er eloped with the servants at home. Originally, he also thought that this news was fake, but everyone spread it with noses and eyes, as if they had seen Miss Qiao Er elope with someone.

And after that, he also saw He Feng on the street, so he also believed the news that Qiao Ziyu eloped with someone.

"Since you two already know about He Gongzi giving me money, you should ask him, these things were arranged by him, where Miss Qiao Er and the servant are, he must know." He lowered his voice and said, "I don't really understand what he thinks, my cousin helped my cousin escape from marriage, this is really ......"

Li Yan stretched out his hand to stop Qiao Ziyu, who wanted to attack Zhao Qing.

In Zhao Qing's opinion, Liyan suddenly stretched out his hand, so frightened that he thought she was going to beat him, and he didn't dare to say the rest of the words.

Liyan stopped Qiao Ziyu with his eyes.

"You send him to the government."

Zhao Qing's eyes widened and he looked at Liyan with a look of disbelief, "I told you everything I know, why did you send me to the official mansion?" ”

"Second Miss Qiao, if she dies, she died in a well in the Qiao family's old mansion." Luo Minghe said coldly: "You say, should you go to the official mansion?" ”

Zhao Qing looked at the two of them with a frightened expression, "This ...... That's not true, is it? ”

"The corpse should have been brought to Yizhuang by now, if you want to see it, I can take you to see it."

Zhao Qing was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he muttered, "I, I didn't want to hurt her." ”

Qiao Ziyu looked at him coldly, although he didn't kill himself, he was also part of this murder plan.

"The government is now investigating who killed her, since you said you don't want to harm her, then tell the government everything you know, so that they can find out the real culprit." After a pause, Luo Minghe said again: "This Miss Qiao died unjustly, you don't know about it, and when her soul finds you, then you can ...... Finished. ”

At this time, Qiao Ziyu blew in the direction of Zhao Qing.

The cold air went straight to his heart and lungs, Zhao Qing shivered, he looked around, and muttered: "Second Miss, don't worry, I will go to the government mansion and tell them all about it immediately." You, go to them, but don't look for me, I don't know anything. ”

Luo Minghe asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll take her to meet Mrs. Joe."

"Okay, when I send him over, I'll go to Qiao's Mansion to find you."

After Luo Minghe took Zhao Qing away, Liyan also took Qiao Ziyu to Qiao's mansion.

Feeling timid, Qiao Ziyu's mood was also a little apprehensive.

After walking for a while, she told Liyan that she had thought about going to see her mother. However, every time she followed Qiao Ziye to the door of the house, she couldn't get in anymore. After a few attempts, she gave up.

"With me, it'll be fine."

Liyan thought about entering through the main gate openly, but after knowing that the people from the yamen had come, she gave up this idea.

"My mother, I already know." Qiao Ziyu whispered.

Li Yan didn't speak, it was a corpse found in the courtyard of Qiao's house, so he naturally had to inform the owner. Besides, she'll always know.

"Are you going to come back later?" Liyan asked softly.

Qiao Ziyu closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she had calmed down. Thirty-nine

"I thought, go now."

Seeing that she had made a decision, she didn't say anything more.

With Qiao Ziyu leading the way for her, Liyan arrived at the Green Garden, Mrs. Qiao's residence, unimpeded.

However, Qiao Ziyu did not find Mrs. Qiao inside.

Li Yan frowned, could it be that they were still in Yizhuang and didn't come back.

Qiao Ziyu was stunned for a moment and said, "I know where my mother is." ”

Subsequently, Liyan followed Qiao Ziyu to Yulan Pavilion, which was Qiao Ziyu's boudoir.

When I arrived at the Magnolia Pavilion, I heard the sound inside. What Qiao Ziyu said is not wrong, Mrs. Qiao is indeed here.

There was a grandmother and four maids standing in the courtyard, all of whom were Mrs. Qiao's dowry.

Liyan swaggered into the courtyard like this, and the moment the five people saw her, they were collectively stunned.

"I'm not here to cause trouble, I just want to see Mrs. Qiao, I have something to tell her, it's about Miss Qiao Er."

Mama An had been with Madame Qiao for the longest time, and had seen many big scenes, and she quickly calmed down.

"Wait a minute, the girl will report to the lady."

Liyan nodded lightly in agreement.

The remaining four people stayed in the courtyard and stared at Liyan, several of them had a wary look in their eyes, and they were a little curious, they really wanted to know how the girl in front of them came to them without alarming the guards of the palace.

Although curious, they also strictly followed the rules and did not ask the question.

In the house, Mama An told Mrs. Qiao what she had said to her, word for word.

Mrs. Qiao's hair was crooked, and her eyes were red and swollen, and she had only cried at first sight. She has always dressed exquisitely, but at this moment, she seems to be ten years old in an instant.

"Mama, bring her in." She said in a hoarse voice.

"Madam, she doesn't ...... from a good background"

Mrs. Qiao said with tears in her eyes: "However, she said that there is news of Yu'er." Maybe, maybe, my Yu'er isn't dead yet. What they found...... How could it be my jade? ”

Mama An looked at Mrs. Qiao with a distressed face, and turned away helplessly in her urging.

"Madame just got the news today, saying that the jade ...... The second lady went, and she was in a ...... mood It's not good, and I ask the girl to take care of it more. ”

"I will."

Mama Ann sent her into the house and soon went out.

At this moment, Qiao Ziyu was standing beside Mrs. Qiao, and she looked at Mrs. Qiao distressedly. Qiao Ziyu stretched out her hand to straighten the crooked hairpin for her, but she still failed.

"Sit down."

Liyan obediently sat down opposite Mrs. Qiao and looked at her quietly.

"Where's my jade?" Mrs. Joe asked with red eyes.

Li Yan glanced at Qiao Ziyu beside her, and her face couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Qiao didn't notice anything strange about Liyan, she still looked at Liyan seriously, and her eyes flashed with a light called hope. Even though she kept repeating in her mind that the person the government found was her Yu'er, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Qiao Ziyu nodded lightly at Liyan.

Li Yan took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Qiao, Second Miss is by your side now. ”

Mrs. Qiao was stunned for a moment, looked to the side, and looked directly through Qiao Ziyu to the inner room, she only saw her bed, and did not find anyone.

Liyan stretched out his index finger and flicked a drop of water into her eye.

Mrs. Qiao closed her eyes uncomfortably, and when she opened them, she was completely stunned.

Looking up at the goose-yellow dress, the familiar face appeared in front of her eyes.

Mrs. Jo covered her mouth, trying not to scream.

"Mother." Qiao Ziyu said softly.

Mrs. Qiao never closed her eyes, she didn't even dare to blink, lest if she blinked, her jade would disappear.

After a long while, Mrs. Qiao took her hand, looked at Qiao Ziyu and asked softly, "Yu'er, ...... you" Looking at her daughter with a blank face, she couldn't say any more. The little hope that I had was now completely shattered. From then on, her Yu'er will never come back, and her Yu'er is dead.

"Yu'er, my mother always knew that Yu'er wouldn't do something like that. However, my mother couldn't find out who was trying to kill you. If so, if I could have found out earlier, if you weren't, nothing would have happened. Mrs. Jo cried.

"Mother, it doesn't matter. It's not your fault, it's all mine. ”

Mrs. Jo tried to pull her hand, but it went straight through her body.

"You...... In that well, I must have been scared. It's all to blame on the mother, if the mother found out earlier......"

Looking at this situation, Liyan was already ready to knock Mrs. Qiao unconscious.

Qiao Ziyu squatted in front of Mrs. Qiao and hummed a ballad, and in her ballad, Mrs. Qiao gradually calmed down.

Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Ziyu in front of her, reached out and touched her head, this time she carefully controlled her hands and did not go directly through her hair.

Her Yu'er grew up from a little little to the present, and then, forever, stayed at the age of sixteen.

"Mother, I'm really happy to see you."

"I ......" she really didn't know what to say, and she should be happy to see her daughter.

"I'm also very happy to meet Yu'er."

Liyan didn't want to disturb the scene where their mother and daughter recognized each other, but she felt that they should get down to business first.

Fortunately, Mrs. Joe's sanity has regained somewhat.

She looked at Qiao Ziyu and asked softly, "Yu'er, tell my mother, who hurt you?" ”

Qiao Ziyu glanced at Liyan, and Liyan signaled her to tell the truth with her eyes, although it would indeed make Mrs. Qiao sad, but not letting her know the truth would make her even more sad.

Mrs. Qiao also turned her head to look at Liyan, Liyan continued to look at Qiao Ziyu without speaking, she felt that it was better for Qiao Ziyu to tell her the truth of the matter.

"It's cousin and Qiao Ziye."

Mrs. Qiao slowly turned her head to look at Qiao Ziyu, her eyes full of disbelief.

Li Yan hurriedly opened the painting in her hand and showed it to Mrs. Qiao.

"Mother, this is what we got from our cousin. I always thought that the person above me was me, and my cousin always made me think that way. She pointed to the hairpin of the person in the painting and said, "But in fact, the person in the painting is not me." ”

Mrs. Qiao was stunned on the spot, thinking of Qiao Ziye's words to comfort herself in the past, she covered her chest suddenly. It turned out that the murderer who hurt her daughter had been under the same roof with her all along. It's ridiculous that she never found out who they really are.
