"So what are you going to do now? If you don't show up, your dad will be in a hurry. Moreover, if the Taiwei really wants to kill you, aren't you afraid that he will hurt your family and force you to appear? ”

"That's why I'm looking for you! You can at least give me a foolproof plan so that I can go home with peace of mind! ”

He said this as a matter of course, with an attitude that if you don't help me, I won't leave.

Qu Youying's forehead was bruised, and she knew that he was stalking, so she called Xiaoshu.

"Xiaoshu, you go and talk to Jing Candle and tell him that Xie Xiaoer is here with me and ask him to come here."

"No way!"

Xie Xiaoer covered Qu Youying's mouth and shook his head at Xiaoshu desperately, "Jing Zhu will definitely beat me up." ”

"I'm afraid if he beats you, aren't you afraid if I beat you?"

Qu Youying was angry and pushed him away, and beat him angrily regardless of his image.

Xiaoshu looked at the two masters, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Miss, Miss Qianxi is back, why don't you take the second son there, wait for the Taiwei to stay first, and explore the situation in Xie Mansion?" ”

His words made Xie Xiaoer's eyes light up, and he rushed to his side and hooked up with him.

"That's the best idea for you."

In the face of his sinister laughter, Qu Youying's hand hurt from beating people and went straight back.

"What a fart, you're not thinking about a thousand rhinos yet."

Qian Xi is the pavilion master of the Purple Pavilion, and he has been studying spices in retreat some time ago, and he only appeared in the past few days, and he is also the first beauty in Xiangling Town.

Because he was as famous as Xie Xiaoer, Xie Xiaoer came to find fault with her at the beginning, and fell in love with her at first sight.

But Lang intended to be ruthless with his concubine, so that he would be injured all these years.

However, every time he was injured, it was Qu Youying who was unlucky.

Whoever calls them good sisters always has to be comforted and comforted.

Qu Youying yawned, moved the bones of her sore back, and stretched her waist.

"Then you go first! I'm going to sleep, don't send it. ”

She tilted her head and walked into the room, but her mind kept thinking about it, but her mind couldn't think of anything.

She had no choice but to give up and go straight to sleep.

It wasn't until night that she was woken up by Yun Shu.

"Miss, today Xie Mansion held a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Tai Lieutenant, and invited a lot of people with heads and faces, including our Qu Mansion."

"So?"

Qu Youying turned over with the quilt in her arms, her eyelids were still very heavy and she couldn't open them.

"Originally, the master took the second room and the second lady there. But the lieutenant suddenly called you by name and wanted to meet you. ”

"Me?"

When Qu Youying heard this, she sobered up a lot.

She opened her eyes and stared at Yun Shu to confirm.

"Did you hear that right?"

"No, I even gave you an invitation!"

Yun Shu handed the post up, Qu Youying took it and opened it, and her name was clearly written on it.

However, in the identity column, the word "仵作" was indicated.

This makes Qu Youying even more strange.

It stands to reason that this profession is very low in the yamen, and it deals with the dead all year round, so many high-ranking officials and nobles will be taboo.

But the captain rashly invited her?

"I don't seem to know the captain, why should I go?"

"Maybe it's the young lady who is famous. You must know that the cases of the Wang family and the Lin family, Miss is in the limelight. The streets and alleys are still talking! Xu is also passed on to the ears of Taiwei, for you, a female servant, curious! ”

"Is that so?"

Although in terms of time, it is almost like this.

But in the past few days, the town should have uploaded more of the hundreds of dry bones in the forest outside the city.

She suddenly remembered what Xie Xiaoer said during the day, and there was a vague suspicion in her heart.

"Maybe it's meant to be bones?"

She thought for a while, then asked Yun Shu to bathe and dress herself, and then left for the Xie Mansion for a banquet.

Xie Fu is the capital of the south of the Yangtze River and is located in Xiangling Town, which is also part of the reason why Xiangling Town is so wealthy.

Tonight, for Taiwei to catch the wind and wash the dust, Xie Fu invited a lot of people, inside and out, very lively.

Qu Youying stood in front of the door, looking left and right, but she didn't see Xie Xiaoer.

"Isn't he really not coming back?"

"Who won't come?"

With a hand on Qu Youying's shoulder, Mu Jingzhu walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Is it Bi'an?" ”

Qu Youying was excited, wondering whether to tell him about Xie Bi'an.

But I'm afraid to say it, Xie Bi'an will suffer more than just a beating from Mu Jingzhu.

So she thought it was better to take it a long time.

So with a slight smile, she pulled down Mu Jingzhu's hand, "Why are you here so late?" ”

Mu Jingzhu was very dissatisfied with her pulling herself away, and when she wasn't paying attention, he clasped her five fingers and strode inside.

"To wait for you, of course."

He walked very fast, Qu Youying wanted to tell him to slow down, and it was too late to say a few words.

Because I went late, when I arrived at the flower hall, countless pairs of eyes inside suddenly looked at the door.

Qu Youying felt very embarrassed, although she was the eldest lady of Qufu, she basically didn't like to go to banquets and the like, so this kind of scene was rarely contacted.

So much so that she was a little timid, and her body slightly approached Mu Jingzhu's side.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mu Jingzhu knew her thoughts, tightened her hand, and walked in without saying a word.

"Tai Lieutenant, Uncle Xie, Jing Zhu is late, and now he will punish himself with three cups to compensate for it."

He decisively took the wine and the wine glass, and poured himself three glasses of wine, decisive and bold.

"Good, good amount of wine!" Seeing him like this, the captain was very satisfied, "You are Jing Candle." ”

Mu Jingzhu had already said his name before, but the Taiwei asked again.

These words didn't sound in other people's ears, but Qu Youying felt a little strange.

In the midst of this wandering spirit, they had already made a polite gesture, and then the captain's gaze fell on her.

"This is—"

Taiwei squinted his eyes and carefully observed Qu Youying.

Master Xie Tianhe understood, and immediately introduced, "Taiwei, she is the only female servant in this town, and she is also the eldest daughter of Qufu. ”

"Oh?" Taiwei touched his long beard and nodded in a trance, "You are Xin Niang's daughter?" ”

Qu Youying originally looked at the Taiwei with a certain vigilance, but she never expected that the Taiwei would suddenly mention her mother.

She was suddenly startled and stunned again.

"Do you know my mother?"

"Of course I know, your mother is the only female criminal officer in this dynasty, but it's a pity, it's a shame. If she hadn't left Beijing in the first place, maybe—"

"Maybe what?"

Qu Youying was very eager.

Because in the Qu family, since her mother passed away, Qu Qingyang ordered that no one was allowed to mention her, and he didn't say a word about what happened when his mother was a criminal officer.

Now that Taiwei took the initiative to talk about it, Qu Youying vaguely felt that he might know what happened after his mother returned to the capital.

And these things are probably the most direct evidence that contributed to the death of my mother.

"Taiwei, do you know what happened to my mother in the capital? Can you tell me? ”

"Captain."

Qu Qingyang suddenly got up to interrupt the conversation between the two and pulled Qu Youying behind him.

"The little girl has been missing her mother for a long time, and she is a little out of shape, please forgive me. Today is a good day for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust, you shouldn't mention the past, come, Qu Moujing has a cup. ”

Taiwei has been fighting in the officialdom for many years, how could he not know what he meant, and immediately went down the steps he gave.

"Okay, this official also toasts you with a drink!"

The two drank to each other, thanking Tianhe for stirring up the atmosphere in time, and everyone forgot about the conversation just now.

Mu Jingzhu pulled Qu Youying into the seat, and seeing her sullen appearance, he poured her a glass of wine.

"He invited you alone, not as the daughter of the composer, and now when he mentions your mother, he wants to stop talking, how can you not know? Don't be cranky. ”

Qu Youying was originally angry that Qu Qingyang interrupted her, but now after listening to Mu Jingzhu's words, her eyes lit up.

"You mean to say he did it on purpose?"

Mu Jingzhu held the wine glass and put it in front of his thin lips, but he didn't drink it.

"I've been in officialdom for a long time, and sometimes what I say, even if it's not intentional, has a certain purpose."

Qu Youying felt very reasonable.

She only saw Taiwei for the first time tonight, but his body was really as Xie Xiaoer said, giving people an indescribable feeling.

Therefore, Qu Youying stared at the food in front of her, thought for a long time, and told Mu Jingzhu about Xie Xiaoer's experience.

This said, just as she thought before, the next day, Xie Xiaoer, who was hiding in Ziyou Pavilion and was leisurely eating, drinking and having fun, was beaten by Mu Jingzhu.

If Qu Youying hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have beaten him to cry and call his mother.

"Am I wrong? Don't fight, okay? Broke my face, how can I still chase my wife! ”

He protested, covering his face with his hands, but what he said made people want to laugh.

"You're like this, and you still want to chase your wife?"

Qu Youying expressed disdainful spit!

Xie Xiaoer pouted, and just wanted to pretend to be pitiful at Mu Jingzhu, when he saw the shadow of a thousand rhinos outside the door.

Suddenly, he got up from the ground and adjusted his appearance, although he was beaten badly, he still had to be personable.

"Qianxi, you're here."

He grinned, but Qianxi didn't see it, and his beautiful face was always cold with the feeling that no one should enter.

"I have already counted the price of the things that were broken last night, you remember to pay."

Qianxi is beautiful and cold, and he is a money-hungry person, no matter who you are, everything will be calculated clearly for you.

Anyway, Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer never dared to owe her money.

"Did he break something about you again?"

"One room, all the stuff."

Qu Youying was shocked, "So much? "That's because she knows how expensive a room in the Purple Pavilion is!" Did he get drunk and molest you? ”

"Nope." Qian Rhino came in from outside, glanced at Mu Jingzhu, and said, "Last night, someone attacked him. The opponent's martial arts are high and well-trained, and he should be a professional killer. ”

"Killer?" Qu Youying blinked, "Didn't he just discover the secret of the Taiwei, and he wouldn't hire a killer to kill someone, right?" And instead of killing him, it is better to use this excuse to completely control the Xie family. Once the Xie family is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling half of the wealth of Jiangnan! ”

"So he was attacked, it shouldn't be the hand of the captain."

"But can't be so sure, or did the captain do it on purpose?"

"So who's going to kill me?" Xie Xiaoer didn't dare to breathe, but he was very curious, "I haven't climbed any enemies along the way, just the matter of the captain, except for that, there is nothing." ”

Qu Youying held her chin and stood beside Mu Jingzhu, staring at Xie Xiaoer.

After a long time, she pulled Mu Jingzhu's sleeve, tilted her head and said, "Could it be that when he followed the captain out, he was thought to have seen something, but he didn't know?" That's why you got killed? ”

Mu Jingzhu was silent, a pair of eyes, sharp and compelling, looking at Xie Xiao's heart very weak.

But because Qianxi was here, he didn't want to look too cowardly, so he bit his teeth, stiffened his back, and held on!
