Chapter 217: Windfall
It is not difficult to find the blind man to verify, just spend a few copper plates to make him reassemble the eight characters, and then set a few sentences. After all, in the west of the city, the most lively after-dinner conversation is the poisoning and murder of Chai Laoyu. Even though Sun Blind claims to be a half-immortal and dresses up as a master every day, he is actually not exempt from vulgarity.
Next, Xu Chu and the others went to find Song Cheng's family again. Song Cheng, as the head of the Song family's Zhuangzi, has a leisurely life in his daily life, and he has a lot of oil and water, so he naturally lives a rich life. It's just that at this time, Song Cheng's family is also gloomy and bleak, and it is very lonely.
It's not that someone deliberately fell into the well like the Chai family, but that Song Cheng killed Song Deqing's wife, and she is also the wife of the main family. In this way, even if you are good friends with him, you will avoid it for the sake of being suspicious of the master's family.
Compared with the daughters of the previous two families, Song Cheng's eldest daughter Song Hui is really beautiful. The skin is white and beautiful, the eyebrows are affectionate but not a trace of pretentiousness, and he has completely inherited the best genes of his father. Rao is Xu Chu, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was really a beautiful woman.
When Song Hui saw that the living person was coming to ask questions, her face immediately turned pale, and her expression was in a trance and frightened. And his mother seemed to be trying her best to restrain her emotions, and reluctantly said a few polite words to Xu Chu. After that, all the questions were asked.
Xu Chu and the others found nothing in Song Cheng's house, so they could only wander outside the Zhuangzi. When I walked to the ridge, I could hear the gossip of the croppers who had changed the ditch on the edge of the ridge. She glanced at it boredly, but overheard a sentence "The master often comes to the Zhuangzi, isn't it just for the beautiful daughter of the Zhuangtou family"......
She immediately glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and slowed down with each other.
"Go, go, what's the matter, something happened to Song Zhuangtou, and the sister-in-law of the Song family with the child may not be difficult. If this word gets out, won't it force the two of them to death? ”
"Bah, you're upright, there are a few people in our Zhuangzi who don't know the old man's thoughts. Let me tell you, just you, look at Song Tou's mother-in-law pitiful, if she is really pitiful, how can a man kill the eldest master's daughter-in-law and not be implicated and driven out of Zhuangzi? ”
"That's what I said, then Song Tou's mother-in-law didn't do anything wrong, what's the matter if she was kicked out."
While a few people were talking, they saw a man shouting for a man to go back to eat, and a mother-in-law came over with an apron. Xu heard that the more those people talked, the more unpleasant they became, the mother-in-law crossed her waist and scolded: "One by one, the idle ones have nothing to do, and the girls who are not married to the good arrangers are not afraid of being offended......"
It can be seen that the mother-in-law is a powerful master, and such a scolding made several men laugh and laugh haha. No one dared to mention the stubble between the eldest master and Song Hui again, but he didn't say it, his eyes were full of meaning.
When he got to the carriage again, Xu Chu took out the codex again, bit the pen and analyzed: "These three murderers have more and more things in common, one of them is that there is a daughter of the right age to be married in the family. Second, the family is not wealthy, but they are all related to Song Deqing's family, and the three murderers all know Song Deqing. Third, most of the murderers loved their daughters, and they had planned a mysterious family affair for their daughters before their deaths. Fourth......"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help frowning, thought for a moment and said, "The eight characters that Chai Laoyu put together for his daughter are Song Deqing's at all. Not only that, but that pot of peony can only be obtained by people from the Song Mansion. And even though Song Deqing was expelled from the Song Mansion, it would be reasonable to enter the mansion in the name of visiting the old lady and the old lady, and then looking for a pot of flowers and plants. ”
She was engrossed in analyzing with Xiao Qinglang today, when she suddenly heard the neighing of the horses, and then saw Wei Guang scolding: "Who are you, what is the matter with rushing into the carriage?" ”
When you are in the capital, there are often ladies to attract the attention of the prince. It's a pity that the prince has never been a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, don't say stop, even if he hits, he will only coldly drop a sentence that is not afraid of death, and then calmly order the coachman to drive the carriage away.
Now, the same drama is repeated, and Wei Guang naturally will not have a good face.
What's more, this place is also remote, and if it is designed by someone with ulterior motives, or if it is an assassination puzzle set up by this, it will be a big mistake. Thinking of this, he frowned slightly and looked at both sides of the lane, and the secret guards hidden in the top of the trees and camouflaged enough to blend with the withered grass also quietly tensed their bodies, ready to attack and only give the enemy a fatal blow.
At this time, the woman who fell to the ground hurriedly raised her head, Xu was frightened by Wei Guang's cold face, and immediately kowtowed and cried silently: "Song Hui, the daughter of the people, is the eldest daughter of Song Cheng. The people's daughter wants to cry out for her father, who has worked in Zhuangzi for more than 20 years and has never made a mistake, how can he suddenly be found out by his wife for embezzling silver taels? ”
"Besides, even if it is an audit, Madame will never come to Zhuangzi. How could it be that as soon as there was a problem with her father's accounts, she personally brought someone here, and went to her father's appointment alone? Her eyes were red and swollen, and she slammed her forehead to the ground, letting the gravel scratch her flesh.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Qinglang's cold voice came out of his clothes, "Since you think that Song Cheng has a grievance, why didn't you mention it when you were in Zhuangzi just now?" ”
Song Hui burst into tears, choked up and said: "Daddy doesn't dare to complain for the sake of my reputation, and my mother doesn't want my father to be sentenced to death in vain, and wants to keep the reputation of the people's daughter." ”
"Since the eldest lord returned to the old mansion a few years ago, he often came to Zhuangzi, and even treated his father very kindly. It is also because of this that the folk girl and the eldest master are also familiar with each other, and even ...... It is even privately committed for life. He also once sighed several times when he was having wine with his father, if it weren't for the old wife at home, he would definitely tie the knot with the people's daughter. ”
"Daddy didn't agree with this, he didn't agree with the people's daughter as a concubine, and wanted to ask for the grace of the eldest lord and wanted to match the people's daughter to the helper on the Zhuangzi. But...... But the folk girl deceived her father, saying that she had already had a relationship with the eldest master, and he would not marry. By the time she said this, she had already stopped crying and regretted it. If she didn't love herself enough, how could she fall into the lies woven by the eldest master with sweet words? And Daddy, how could he risk killing his head for no reason and kill someone?
"My father is not a very vicious person, if it weren't for the marriage of the people's daughter, he would never do this."
Although the causes and consequences are not detailed, they also generally let Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu sort out the ins and outs. It also made the conjecture in their hearts more and more affirmative.
"Do you suspect that Song Deqing is guilty of instigation?"
Now, Song Hui, who is full of remorse, can no longer care about her reputation and face. She is not stupid, as early as the beginning of her father's accident, she inquired many times, and she also went to find Song Deqing.
At the beginning, Song Deqing turned her face ruthlessly, and she comforted herself that it was her father who did something wrong and ruined his family, so he should hate himself.
But as time passed, she gradually remembered many things from the past. And those are not the ambiguity and sweetness between her and Song Deqing, but the love of her father and mother, and the mother who is now washing her face with tears day and night.
In this way, she began to blame herself. If it weren't for his insistence on going his own way to go with the eldest master, but marrying an honest man according to his father's wishes, how could he have come to such a situation at this time?
Therefore, when Xiao Qinglang came to ask Xu Chu for questioning today, she had thousands of emotions, and finally they all converged into the idea of wanting to clear the stigma for her father.
In fact, she didn't know if it was useless, but in a desperate situation with no way to ask for help, only Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, who suddenly appeared, were her only hope.
Xu Chu glanced at her a few times, and then asked solemnly: "If one day, the government retries your father's murder case, are you willing to testify in court?" ”
Song Hui was slightly stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she suddenly felt a surprise in her heart. She nodded hurriedly, and said in a solemn but difficult tone: "The folk girl can." ”
After leaving Zhuangzi, Xu Chu couldn't return to his senses for a long time. And she was still thoughtful at first, but at this time, she completely wanted to talk and stopped.
Xiao Qinglang glanced at her, saw her ugly face, and sighed in his heart. After thinking for a while, he lowered his eyes and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and unfolded it layer by layer, then took out a piece of ginger candy and handed it to Xu Chu's mouth.
Xu Chu's lips opened slightly, and he subconsciously used his tongue to roll away the things sent to his mouth. The spicy but sweet flavor diffused in her mouth, and finally stretched down her esophagus in her stomach, so that it dispelled the little chill in her heart.
She chewed the ginger candy in her mouth with a gulp, looked at Xiao Qinglang suspiciously, and asked, "Childe actually carried candy with him?" But do you usually have dizziness and uncomfortable anemia? ”
She originally wanted to ask if she would have low blood sugar, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly thought that there was no low blood sugar at this time, so she changed her words when she came to her mouth.
Xiao Qinglang smiled slightly, raised his hand to wipe off the moisture on her lips, and said slowly: "Aunt Chu once diagnosed your pulse, saying that you are cold and prone to pain on your body, and you can often eat ginger candy on weekdays. In this way, you can dispel the cold and relieve the menstruation, and when the menstrual period comes, you can also suffer less sins. ”
He said it extremely naturally, as if thinking about Xu Chu had become an instinct.
On the contrary, it was Xu Chu, who originally looked at Xiao Qinglang with wide eyes and stunned, planning to make fun of him. Unexpectedly, what he saw was the banter and serious flirtation in his eyes. So, as if she had suddenly understood something, she blushed.
A big man is always thinking about her menstrual affairs, is it really good?
When the group returned to Jinzhou City, it was already noon. Although there was no warm sunshine, the cool wind also made Xu Chu, whose cheeks were hot, a little comfortable.
Just when a few people arrived at the gluttonous building, they saw Wei Guang bring a guard to the private room.
