As the sky grew brighter, the moon lost its original light in the night.

"Wake up!" Twilight slapped Hatsujiu's face.

"Don't make noise...... Chu Jiu knocked off the hand that was harassing him, turned over and continued to sleep.

"If you don't wake up, just wait for someone else to catch you!"

Chu Jiu immediately sat up, "Catch me!" Who's going to catch me! She rubbed her eyes and came to her senses.

And Twilight stood up and sorted out her clothes, "Go back quickly, or the kitchen workers will come later, and see how you explain?" ”

Chu Jiu looked back and saw that there were crumbs of dim sum all over the floor, the wine jug had been knocked over on the ground, and the stove was also a mess. She was just looking for food last night, why did she make such a mess here?

They quickly left the crime scene, and they didn't go far before the kitchen worker shouted, "Holy, why is there such a mess here?" ”

"It's a mouse, right?"

"Nonsense, rats are so rampant? Someone must have stolen it! ”

……

Chu Jiu parted ways with Chao Duxue and went back to the backyard by himself.

Walking through the garden, she met the housekeeper who was sweeping the fallen leaves, and after saying hello to him, she saw a maid in a pink coat appear in front of her. The pink-clothed maid dropped a handkerchief, and Chu Jiu shouted: "Girl, you have dropped something!" But the maid went on as if she had not heard.

The housekeeper with the broom heard Chu Jiu shouting and looked up at her and the maid, only to see Chu Jiu pick up the handkerchief and follow the maid away.

Chu Jiu followed the pink-clothed maid, and suddenly she found that the maid was walking faster and faster, and finally disappeared into a courtyard.

She originally wanted to give up the pursuit, but she saw the ground flashing in front of her, she walked forward and looked, a clean dagger was lying there, she picked it up and looked left and right, thinking to herself, why are the people in this Mufeng Hall always lost?

"Ahh

Chu Jiu was shocked, and immediately ran forward, she touched the door, but found that the door was hidden, she pushed the door in, and found that this was actually the ancestral hall dedicated to the masters of the previous dynasties, and there were tablets in it. "Ladies and gentlemen, the little one just has no intention of breaking in, and has no intention of disturbing everyone......" Before she could finish speaking, a mysterious person suddenly appeared behind her and knocked her unconscious.

"Wake her up." Chu Jiu was in a daze and heard the noisy voices around him.

Suddenly, she was picked up, and a man picked up the teapot and poured tea on her face. In this way, Chu Jiu was splashed awake.

She shook the tea from her face, and when she finally tried to wipe it with her hands, she found that her hands were restrained.

At this moment, she finally came to her senses.

She looked up and found that she was set up in the front yard of Mufeng Hall, surrounded by the festive decoration of last night, but the people around her were not the happy expressions of yesterday.

"Bold thief, why did you say you killed the old hall master?" Steward Zhang beside Li Xianlin interrogated loudly.

Chu Jiu didn't understand why he questioned himself so much, and he didn't understand why he was treated like this.

Li Xianlin, the hall master of Mufeng Hall, felt that this girl was a little familiar, and he said, "Where do I seem to have seen this girl?" ”

As soon as Steward Zhang wanted to open his mouth to answer the identity of this girl, the little maid outside the door announced loudly: "Report, the lady of the hall master of Mufeng Hall has arrived." ”

Li Xianlin raised his eyes and saw that his wife Zhang Xiyu was hurrying in with his maid.

When Chu Jiu saw his own Miss and Sister Xiao Jia, he instantly shouted: "Miss, Sister Xiao Jia!" ”

They only glanced at Chu Jiu, but they still couldn't hide the worry on their faces.

Zhang Xiyu first asked her husband, "What happened here?" Early in the morning, the people in the house came here and ran here. And what did Chu Jiu do? ”

Li Xianlin knew that this girl was his wife's dowry maid. He pulled Zhang Xiyu and whispered to her, "Don't make noise first, listen to their interrogation quietly." ”

Chu Jiu nervously asked, "What happened?" What killed the old hall master? ”

"That's the case, you little girl is still quibbling, this morning the family who cleaned the ancestral hall came to the ancestral hall, and found the body of the old hall master, and you were holding a dagger on the side, who else could you kill?" Steward Zhang said indiscriminately.

"Wronged, I don't know, I was knocked unconscious when I entered the ancestral hall, and I wasn't awakened until just now!" The ninth day of the first month is called wronged.

"It seems that if you don't give something powerful, you won't recruit from the truth......" Steward Zhang felt that there was no need to punish him, this murderer would not be honest. When he was young, he was valued by the old hall master, and he served him for more than 30 years, and now he died tragically, he must find the real culprit.

"Wait!" Tu Su outside the door shouted without tears, he walked into the front hall quickly, looked around at the indignant people, and then saw that the girl who was regarded as the murderer was with tears in her eyes. "The old hall master has strong martial arts, how could he be stabbed by such a girl."

Everyone speculated: "It's because of such an inconspicuous girl that the old hall master is defenseless!" ”

Tu Su shook his head with a tearless smile, and then said righteously: "I have already reported this matter to the government just now, and when they come to conduct an autopsy and collect evidence, we will definitely be able to find the murderer of the old hall master." ”

Steward Zhang objected, "How can this work?" ”

"If there is a murder, he will not report it to the official as soon as possible, Steward Zhang only wants to convict himself and close the case with torture, is Steward Zhang the real murderer and wants to find a scapegoat!" Zhang Xiyu was very supportive of Tu Su's tearless approach, she didn't want to let Manager Zhang do anything wrong, so she said it impulsively.

"Xiyu!"

"Miss!"

Li Xianlin and Xiao Jia around them didn't expect that people who usually look weak would be so impulsive.

"This murderer is the person of the bride of the hall master!" The crowd talked.

"Xiyu, you calm down first, I believe that the people in the government will definitely return her innocence." Li Xianlin comforted Zhang Xiyu, and then ordered Xiao Jia to take her down.

Xiao Jia helped her young lady back to the room. "Xiao Jia, did you say that the ninth day of the first month will be fine?" Zhang Xiyu's eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes asked worriedly, she thought of her deceased brother when she saw the current situation of the ninth year. "Xiao Jia, I'm not telling you that I have a younger brother."

Xiao Jia listened quietly to what the young lady had to say.

"Dad used to think that if our family can produce a big official, it will be able to shine on the lintel, so he let his younger brother go to Beijing to study, but in the academy in the capital, how can a small businessman from this poor countryside be compared with a high-ranking businessman in the capital, his younger brother he is always excluded, and one day he was framed and stolen a high-ranking official's children's things, and then he couldn't stand these rumors and hanged himself, you said that if there was a person who could return his brother's innocence at that time, how good it would be!" As he spoke, Zhang Xiyu burst into tears.

Xiao Jia took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears for the young lady, and swore an oath, "Miss, don't worry, with the second son of Tu Su here, the ninth day of the first month will be fine!" ”
