After arriving in Ezhou, Bai Haohong came to teahouses and restaurants to inquire about Qi Run's daily routine, but the locals said that Qi Run was a loser, and Qi's shopkeeper was really pitiful and gave birth to such a son. Bai Haohong went to the yamen again, found Qi Zhutou, and asked about Qi Run's case.

Bai Haohong and Qi Zhutou came to Qi's house, Qi Zhutou told the Qi shopkeeper that Qi Run was killed in the capital, and after the Qi shopkeeper heard it, he fainted on the spot, and the Qi family was in chaos and cried. The shopkeeper Qi was carried into the bedroom, and Qi Zhutou said: "Lord Bai, I want to wait for the shopkeeper Qi to wake up and persuade him to leave again, you go back to the post station to rest first." ”

Bai Haohong left the Qi family alone, and as soon as he walked to the door, an old servant of the Qi family chased him out and shouted to Bai Haohong: "Lord Bai, please stay!" ”

Bai Haohong asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"My young master died unjustly! Be sure to find out the real culprit! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's true that my young master likes to mess with flowers, but I know that he is kind-hearted and will not commit rape and murder. Jod mistakenly thought that the young master had killed his sister, so he took revenge and killed him, you say, did the young master die unjustly. ”

"Can you tell us more about that?"

So the old servant recalled......

On the day of the accident, after Qi Run escaped from Qiao's house, he hid in his house and refused to say anything. Soon, Qi Zhutou came with a few catchers, and he asked when he entered the door: "Shopkeeper Qi, is Qi Run here?" ”

Shopkeeper Qi glanced at the old servant, and the old servant immediately understood what Shopkeeper Qi meant: take Qi Run to hide in the field. In the past, as long as Qi Run was in trouble, the old servant took Qi Run to leave home temporarily, and when the shopkeeper Qi spent money to settle things, everything was calm, and Qi Run came back. Therefore, this time, as usual, after the old servant saw the look of the shopkeeper Qi, he immediately quietly took Qi Run away. Qi Zhutou took the silver of Qi's shopkeeper, pretended to go around Qi's house, and then returned to the yamen to report: Qi Run had already fled.

The next day, the old servant returned to Qi's house and said to Qi's shopkeeper, "Master, the young master is settled." ”

Shopkeeper Qi replied with a heavy heart: "Got it." ”

"Master, listen to the young master, this time it's really none of his business. The young master also said that he went in response to the appointment, but after entering the house, he found that Miss Qiao was dead on the bed, the young master screamed in fright, and froze for a moment. ”

"It doesn't matter if the bunny's words are true or not. I have already said to Qi Zhutou: The dog definitely did not kill anyone! However, Qi Zhutou replied: "Old Man Qiao has witnessed Young Master Qi committing the crime, and unless the real murderer is caught, he will not be able to clear his name." ’

"However, according to the young master, Old Man Qiao only came in after hearing his screams, how could he witness the crime?"

"Alas," Shopkeeper Qi sighed and said, "The little rabbit cub is usually frivolous and has caused a lot of trouble, and the world thinks he is a shameless person, who will believe that he is innocent?" It seems that before the real culprit is caught, the little rabbit cub will not be able to go home. You go and inform Steward Qi and ask him to arrange for the little rabbit cub to live in the capital for a long time. ”

"Why live in the capital? It's too far away from Ezhou. ”

"There are many people in the capital, and they are inconspicuous in the capital; Small county towns are different, if you have an extra face, you will immediately attract the attention of others. ”

After listening to the old servant's memories, Bai Haohong asked, "Qi Run is dead, who will the Qi family's property be given to?" ”

"It should be Steward Qi, he is a relative of the master, the master trusts him the most, and now the Qi family is also in charge of him. Oh, by the way, Qi Zhutou is also a relative of the master, and he is also very good to the master, and it is estimated that he can also get a share. ”

Bai Haohong left Qi's house and went to Qiao's house again, found Old Man Qiao, and after identifying himself, Bai Haohong asked: "There are some details I want to confirm, on the night of the accident, you went to your daughter's house after hearing the scream, right?" ”

"Not bad."

"Is it Qiao Bi's shouting?"

Old Man Qiao thought for a moment and said, "No, it's a man's exclamation." ”

Bai Haohong pondered: "It seems that Qi Run is indeed not a murderer, and the testimony of the old servant of the Qi family is true." Bai Haohong asked again: "On the day of the accident, did anyone else come to your house?" ”

"Steward Qi came to me to chat for a while, and he was very polite that day. I was still a little strange at the time, the Qi family is also a big family, how could Steward Qi be so polite to me. ”

"Does Steward Qi come often?"

"I've never been here, and that was the first time I've been here."

A few days later, the shopkeeper Qi transported Qi Run's body back to Ezhou, and also brought back a pregnant woman. When the shopkeeper Qi invited relatives and friends, he pointed to the pregnant woman and introduced it to everyone: "This is Qi Huang, the daughter-in-law of the dog married in the capital, and she is pregnant. God willing, my Qi family has a queen, and the Qi family's recipes have an heir! ”

After Qi Huang finished saluting everyone present, the shopkeeper Qi continued: "I am going to send my daughter-in-law to Shu Peng Villa for recuperation, you also know that the owner and wife of Shu Peng Villa are my old friends, they are not only strong in martial arts, but also famous in the world for their medical skills, I plan to let my future grandchildren worship their husband and wife as teachers." ”

After another two days, Steward Qi took a few family members and Yahuan to escort Qi Huang's family to Shupeng Villa. In the evening, they found a big inn, and after the housekeeper settled the Qi Huang family, they went back to the room to rest.

In the middle of the night, a man in black used a dagger to open the door latch and sneaked into Qi Huang's room, he walked to the head of the bed, ready to light Qi Huang's dumb hole first, and then kill the killer. But at this moment, Qi Huang suddenly made a move and hit the soft hemp hole of the man in black, and the man in black suddenly couldn't move.

Qi Huang lit the oil lamp, came to the killer, ripped off his mask, and said, "It turned out to be you, Qi Zhutou." ”

What's going on? It turned out that Bai Haohong analyzed that the purpose of the real murderer framing Qi Run was probably for the Qi family's property and ancestral recipes, after Qi Run's death, the beneficiaries were Qi Steward and Qi Zhutou, and it is difficult to determine which of the two of them is the real murderer. Therefore, Bai Haohong thought of a way to force the real murderer to show up as soon as possible, he told the shopkeeper Qi his idea, and the shopkeeper Qi expressed his willingness to cooperate with the action.

The specific action plan is: let Xu Feiyan pretend to be the daughter-in-law of the Qi family who is pregnant, and the shopkeeper Qi takes her daughter-in-law home from the capital, and announces to relatives and friends that she wants her daughter-in-law to live in Shupeng Villa. Due to the heavily guarded Shu Peng Villa and the strong martial arts of the owner, once the daughter-in-law of the Qi family lives in, it will be difficult for the real murderer to attack her, so the murderer will definitely do it on the road.

Why did Xu Feiyan choose to pretend to be his daughter-in-law? Because Bai Haohong considered: Zhan Xue is a female catcher, and she is likely to be recognized, while Xu Feiyan is alone, although her fame is not small, but not many people know her.

After Xu Feiyan returned to the capital, he was very popular with everyone in Dali Temple, and Zhan Peng said to Xu Feiyan with a smile: "Lord Yu said, he is looking forward to talents like you entering Dali Temple." ”
