Chapter 53: Childe
Chang Niangzi needed to prepare utensils a little later, and when she walked into the house, Qing Huan had already adapted to the environment in the house.
Chang Niangzi nodded to Qing Huan and began to examine the corpse in front of her.
"From the lower jaw to the forehead, there is a visible scar, not only the entire face has been removed, but also the nose bone and cheeks have been damaged."
Xu Qinghuan said: "This is someone deliberately ruining his appearance. ”
Chang Niangzi continued: "The hands and feet were also cut off, these are all post-mortem scars, and there is a deep wound on the left chest...... Looks like ......"
"It's an arrow wound," Sun Chong presented the feather arrow in his hand to Chang Niangzi, "This is the feather arrow used by the government office." ”
Chang Niangzi pinched the arrow and looked at it carefully, then nodded.
Sun Chong said: "The prefect came to Fengxiang on the way to meet the spies, the guards around him and the spies fought, the spies were injured by the arrow and were rescued, the adults arrived in Fengxiang and encountered the case of the Cao family, the adults were afraid of delaying the case, put all the people on the case, only sent a few people to secretly look for the injured spies, and only found the body yesterday." ”
Chang Niangzi said: "The wound on the back is the fatal mark. ”
"That's right," Sun Chong said, "the spy didn't die if he was hit by an arrow, but the man who took him saw that he was too injured to escape the killer, cut off his face, hands and feet, and threw his body in the woods." ”
Chang Niangzi covered the body with a coarse cloth again.
Xu Qing'an, who was already smoked and was about to faint, escorted Xu Qinghuan out of the house as if he had been amnestied.
Standing in the courtyard and taking a few long breaths, Xu Qing'an said: "These people even treat their companions like this, it can be seen that they are ruthless," he said and looked at Xu Qinghuan worriedly, "It's a long way from Fengxiang to the capital, otherwise I'll let people go back to Beijing and bring more people over, and it's not too late for us to set off."
What if it's really those rebels...... They're going to do it to you. ”
Sun Chong nodded: "My lord is exactly what he meant, someone is watching in secret, I am afraid that there will be danger along the way, the eldest lady stays in Fengxiang, at least there is someone in the palace to take care of it." ”
Sun Chong has some truth in what he said, taking his mother along the way, safety is the most important.
Xu Qinghuan said: "I'll go back and tell my mother to make a decision." ”
Sun Chong said: "That's the best. ”
Xu Qinghuan left in the car, and Zhou Yue walked out of the corner of the courtyard and came to Sun Chong's side: "Fortunately, Miss Xu is willing to listen to persuasion, otherwise I will hesitate to protect them or not, don't help, they have a mistake, I can't help but blame myself, help them, and they don't know good people's hearts." ”
Sun Chong patted Zhou Yue on the shoulder: "Even if the Zhou family and the Xu family are related, Miss Xu is a female dependent after all, how much you have to care about the defense of men and women, you don't have to care too much." ”
Zhou Yue couldn't say if she was bitter, where was the defense of men and women, and she disliked him as an unwanted object at all.
Zhou Yue returned to the house, and Li Xu was looking at the autopsy document in his hand.
Zhou Yue said: "Jiulang, what should we do?" Whether you go or leave you, I will follow you. ”
Li Xu didn't raise his head: "Pack your bags, we'll be on the road tomorrow." ”
Zhou Yue couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so he couldn't go with the Xu family, Miss Xu...... And also...... Chang Niangzi can only see you again in the future.
"She'll be gone, too." Li Xu saw through Zhou Yue's thoughts.
Zhou Yue was surprised: "Why." ”
Li Xu raised his head, and his gaze became far-reaching: "Because if it were me, I would choose this way." ”
……
Xu Qinghuan returned to Xu's house and was about to go to see her mother.
"Miss, Miss Zhao is here."
Xu Qing walked a few steps happily and saw Zhao Muwei.
Zhao Muwei is two years older than her, slightly taller, less graceful and more heroic and cool between her eyebrows, but this is just the appearance, Mu Wei is much gentler than her, after the Marquis of Guangping handed over the military power in the previous life, Mu Wei married to the south, and has been living a smooth life with her husband and children.
Mu Wei said: "If you don't have the courage to choose that Li Xu, I don't want to live too hard, just be rich and safe." ”
It can be seen that Guangping Hou loves Muwei from the bottom of his heart and knows his daughter very well, otherwise he would not be able to choose such a family business.
"I don't know that my mother came to Xu's house," Zhao Muwei said here and paused slightly, "It's probably because I persuaded my mother not to marry this family business, and my mother was annoyed with me in her heart, so I arranged it like this." ”
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing: "You don't want me to be your sister-in-law?" ”
Zhao Muwei said: "Naturally, but my brother's mind is not at home, he is only willing to fight outside like his father, how my mother has survived all these years, I can see clearly, I don't want to live such a life, how can I drag you over." ”
In the end, Mu Wei understood her, Xu Qinghuan smiled and said: "The virtuous lady of Mrs. Guangping is difficult for others to reach, and the Marquis of Guangping wants to say goodbye to the prince like this, I'm afraid I will be disappointed." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Muwei's eyes flashed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
"Until now, you still refuse to say a bad word about her, but you are really her good daughter."
A cold voice came, and Zhao Muwei's face stiffened and immediately turned around and said, "Second brother is talking nonsense." ”
Second Master Zhao stepped forward with a gloomy face and handed the brocade box in his hand to Zhao Muwei, Xu Qinghuan recognized that this was the one that was delivered to her that day.
Inside is a beaded hairpin.
Zhao Muwei said: "This ...... Isn't this the one my grandmother gave to my mother? The thief entered the door that day and stole it, could it be that the second brother found the thief? ”
"Guess where I found this hairpin?" Second Master Zhao said in a deep voice.
Zhao Muwei shook his head.
"Mother Yu next to her mother hid in the Zhuangzi."
Zhao Muwei was surprised: "Mother Yu actually colluded with thieves." ”
Second Master Zhao looked at Xu Qinghuan silently.
"The second master is not suspicious of Mother Yu," Xu Qinghuan said at the right time, "The second master thinks that these things were hidden by Mrs. Guangping Hou's subordinates. ”
Zhao Muwei's eyes widened: "How can you doubt your mother." ”
Second Master Zhao's eyes were deeper: "Because before this, I saw someone entering and leaving my mother's house, I didn't make a sound, I kept staring at the movement in my mother's room, and finally one day I found the whereabouts of that person again, so I called the nursing home to arrest someone, but unfortunately so many people didn't catch him."
I told my grandmother about it, and she called my mother to ask ......"
Zhao Muwei said: "So that day, the family opened the cage and took stock of the softness, and my mother found that something was missing in the house, and everyone knew that there was a thief in the house." ”
Second Master Zhao said: "That's not a thief at all, that person is here to find his mother." ”
Zhao Muwei said: "Second brother, don't be so arbitrary, this matter is not trivial, in case you wronged someone......"
"She has been hiding at home for so many years, and she always shows her tail," Zhao Erye said, "I will definitely catch her." ”
Zhao Muwei panicked in her heart, her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't know what to do.
"Miss Xu," Second Master Zhao said, "I want to say a word to you alone." ”
Zhao Muwei was waiting on the side, and Second Master Zhao bowed down to Xu Qinghuan: "I asked people to send a letter to the eldest lady that day, because I wanted the eldest lady to see me, but now I think about it, I am in a hurry, and I am here to apologize to the eldest lady." ”
"Do you want to talk about something related to the prince?" Xu Qinghuan was reluctant to go around in circles.
Second Master Zhao was stunned for a moment: "I can't hide it from the eldest lady," he paused as he said, "I probably know why my father said goodbye to the Xu family." ”
This is exactly what Qing Huan wants to know.
Second Master Zhao said: "Because I told my father that the person who sneaked into my mother's room that day...... It was my brother. ”
……
In the courtyard of the Marquis of Guangping's mansion, Mrs. Marquis Guangping was carefully sewing the boots in her hand.
"Madam," Yu's mother stepped forward, "we have to leave tomorrow, so you should settle in earlier." ”
"Don't worry," Mrs. Guangping put her boots in front of her eyes and looked at them again, "Do you look pretty?" ”
Yu's mother didn't know why her eyes were a little sour: "Madame's needlework is impeccable." ”
Mrs. Guangping Hou said: "Mom always talks to me. ”
Mother Yu lowered her head for a long time and seemed to have made up her mind: "Madam, what is the trouble of this, you know that Master Hou's illness is not cured, and his time is running out...... Why would you do it at this time......"
Mrs. Guangping Hou raised her head and stretched the corners of her frowning brows: "That's why I want to do this." ”
Her graceful silhouette is reflected in the window.
……
Xu Qinghuan made up his mind to enter Beijing with the daughters of the Hou family of Guangping.
Both families are nobles, although they are ready to travel lightly, the convoy is still mighty, attracting people to come and watch.
The carriage and horses walked all day and finally stopped at the inn.
"What kind of day is this," said the official of the inn, "and a prince has just arrived...... Luckily, there are plenty of rooms in the inn, but it's just ...... You have to be wronged by the subordinates who accompany you. ”
"It's okay," said Mrs. An Yihou, "it is inevitable that you will suffer some hardships outside, and this is the best." ”
Xu Qinghuan got out of the car, and sure enough, he saw a Qinggai carriage parked not far away.
"Mother, I'll help you into the house to rest first."
After serving Mrs. An Yihou, Xu Qinghuan walked out of the house.
"I don't know which family's son, it's really a big show," Xu Qing'an said, "His entourage is riding one in a thousand good horses." ”
Xu Qingan couldn't help rubbing his palms as he spoke: "I don't know if he is willing to sell a horse to me." ”
"Brother can go and ask," Xu Qinghuan said and beckoned to Zhang Zhenren, "Zhenren, I want to ask you to do a fortune for me." ”
Zhang Zhenren had a flattered look on his face, but he didn't expect the female doll to take the initiative to talk to him one day: "What does the female doll want to count?" ”
"I have someone in mind," Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "The real person will help me calculate, whether he catches me first, or I catch him first." ”
