Chapter 239: A Tooth for a Tooth
The two of them talked with each other, and of course, Xu Chu didn't forget to look at the file that he hadn't finished reading yesterday. Xiao Qinglang, on the other hand, took the book written by Xu Chu and flipped it carefully.
In the midst of the bustling flow of people, the inconspicuous carriage walked forward, through the market, all the way to the Song Mansion, which was not far away. The warm sunlight outside shone through the gaps in his clothes, falling on Xiao Qinglang's cuffs embroidered with dark lines, and the looming lines looked like a streamer at this time, as if illusory.
On both sides of the street, the hooks and fences are staggered, prosperous and lively, full of the liveliness belonging to the people. All living beings, live and work in peace and contentment, live in peace and joy. For them, it is probably the happiest thing to have their own place.
And the person in front of him, who has experienced countless darkness and assassinations, is also using his ability to protect the peace of the people.
"After going to Liu's Mansion, the female dependents and the men should be entertained separately. I don't know about it, but I asked Aunt Chu last night, and Aunt Chu said that the so-called lady and lady held a garden party, most of which were touting each other or sarcastic to each other. When you first arrived here, you are not from a wealthy official family, so you have to be ridiculed and ridiculed......" Xiao Qinglang's gaze fell on her calm face, and she paused for a moment as if she wanted to say something.
Xu Chu glanced at him hesitantly, nodded indifferently and said, "I will pay attention and try not to conflict with them." ”
Xiao Qinglang was not relieved by her words, but told with a solemn expression: "There is no need to back down, if someone is really looking for your bad luck, you can just return a tooth for a tooth." I will let people protect you in the dark, not to mention killing all sides, at least you can still do it with your whole body. ”
Xu Chu was slightly stunned, but suddenly remembered the words she had sighed when she was looking at a file before, when the man was angry for his wife. Suddenly, she understood what Xiao Qinglang meant.
Although he didn't understand what he said, it was enough for her to feel different.
She nodded with a smile and said, "It's just some boudoir women, so it shouldn't be a big kill." ”
In her heart, even if she has scheming or some means, at most she is just slandering and stealing, or ridiculing her background. If it's too much, at most it's a common episode in TV dramas, such as using some unstable drugs and then finding a man, slandering her for fornicating with others, and ruining her reputation......
If you really kill someone, you have to be vicious to do it.
However, thinking of ruining the reputation, Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qinglang meaningfully. If that Zhang Fu'er really used this method, he didn't have to think about it, he must be coveting the man in front of him.
However, Xiao Qinglang was not as optimistic as her, he sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "If they are all like you, or just some boudoir central means, then naturally don't worry too much." But you must know that among the few people who are good friends with Zhang Fu'er, there are many ...... who have human lives on their hands."
With that, he handed over a few files that had already been opened.
"These are the few people who are used as guns by Zhang Fu'er every day, and the most important of them are the daughters of the Qiu family and the daughters of the Zhen family. In today's Hongmen banquet, these two people will inevitably make it difficult for you. ”
Xu Chu stretched out his hand and took the file, opened it slightly, and then said in astonishment: "This Miss Qiu is like this...... Cold-blooded? She was only eight years old at the time. Can you watch your childhood playmates starve to death for fun? ”
The fact that there is an independent dossier, and even an autopsy sheet, is enough to show that the deceased was not a child of the family and was not a servant of a death contract. But why is Miss Qiu still at large and has not repented at all?
Xu Chu took out the autopsy sheet and found that the tragic condition of the deceased was recorded in detail on it. At that time, the deceased should have wanted to save himself, but unfortunately he did not succeed, and broke his leg, and finally had to die helplessly.
And the ins and outs of this matter are also very detailed and clear, that is, Miss Qiu looked down on the young lady who came with her parents from Zhuangzi, and then coaxed people to an abandoned room and locked them. Later, she pretended not to know and returned to the house, and let the girl's father and mother go crazy to find her.
Afterwards, although she was also frightened, she admitted it in public. But in the end, it was saved by the Qiu family with gold and silver.
Because the deceased's father and mother were willing to reconcile and no longer pursue the complaint, the government also withdrew the case.
"Pity a good girl." Xu Chu sighed and sighed.
In fact, this is the most helpless point of the law, even if the rich and noble families commit crimes, they can also use money to smooth out the crimes. This is especially true in cases where the murderer is a child, and it is almost never seen that a child who has not been able to reach the child has been severely punished for his own mistakes.
Except, of course, in cases where the person who made the mistake is a subordinate. Even if they are not taken into custody by the government, the main family will often sell them or lynch them.
After reading the dossier in her hand, Xu Chu also had a general understanding of Zhang Fuer and the people around her. Just as she put away the sighing files, the carriage slowly stopped.
They didn't come early, but they weren't too late, and the carriages in front of Liu's Mansion were already lined up at this time. There are even some who have long been arranged in the backyard or sent home to wait.
Even though Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu have some reputations, they are just businessmen and maidservants in the final analysis. The most is the magic stick that makes people spend money to eliminate disasters. Therefore, although the two got out of the car, not many people really came to greet them.
However, a few people who came with Tang Rucai bowed their hands to Xiao Qinglang with a smile on their faces and chatted a few words.
After the invitation was issued, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu were specially introduced to the house by the Liu family's housekeeper. However, as Xiao Qinglang expected, not long after entering the mansion, a maid led Xu Chu to the backyard.
The corners of Xiao Qinglang's mouth were slightly hooked, and he glanced at the housekeeper in front of him, as if he didn't see the subordinate who ran away in a hurry.
On the other hand, it was said that Xu Chu was led all the way into the Zijin courtyard, saying that the courtyard was actually just a nickname. This garden is not small, the rockeries are scattered, and the promenade is twists and turns, but it is not half cool because there is no pond.
Further in, on the left and right sides are the purple bamboo forest, beautiful and elegant, surrounded by the deep attic, but let this place have a little more artistic conception.
When she arrived, there were bursts of laughter and frolicking in the attic, and the sound of women chasing each other could be faintly heard.
However, all the laughter came to an abrupt end the moment Xu Chu appeared.
At this time, Xu Chu also saw the people who came today. Although I don't recognize it completely, I can probably match the name. In addition to the maidservants, the remaining dozen or so are all young ladies with exquisite makeup.
She swept her eyes over the people present, but found that unlike those gathered around Zhang Fu'er, there were three or two disdainful women. The one who is the leader of them is dressed in a cyan Confucian skirt, but he has a real demeanor.
"Hey, this is the ghost-hunting female half-fairy?" A woman with a goose egg face in yellow beside Zhang Fu'er suddenly spoke up, looked Xu Chu up and down, and then said, "I said Sister Fu, what did you invite her to do on your birthday?" It's not too unlucky, I heard that she is the best at exorcism, this kind of person is very yin. ”
After Zhang Fu'er saw the bright and beautiful Xu Chu under the costume, she was not angry, and suddenly heard that someone was squeezing Xu Chu with the same hatred for herself. Naturally, she looked better on her face.
"The younger sister of the Qiu family is going to talk nonsense, Miss Chu should have come with Zhou Gongzi." After speaking, she looked at Xu Chu with a smile and said, "The younger sister of the Qiu family is the most upright, and she has always said something like this. Miss Chu, don't be surprised, if this makes the girl feel embarrassed, I will apologize to you on behalf of my sister. ”
Without waiting for Xu Chu to speak, the woman in yellow snorted coldly and said, "Sister Fu'er is really easy to be deceived, who doesn't know that the old man participates in the banquet, and he has always only brought a long entourage of servants. I've never heard of a son-in-law who will bring a maid dressed like a flower to a banquet. I knew that she thought she was capable, and she would bewitch her son-in-law with her son-in-law. If you don't know, you may have to wonder if she has other intentions and wants to climb the high branches of Liu's mansion. ”
Zhang Fu'er patted the woman's forehead and whispered reproach: "Sister Qiu, be cautious." ”
Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhang Fu'er, who had not moved, without a trace of emotion, and only said lightly: "It's okay, I have never been like people with bad brains." ”
"Who do you say has a bad brain!" The woman in yellow had a proud expression, her pretty face instantly flushed, and she glared at Xu Chu and said sharply, "Am I not right, as a woman, you show up, and now you have to coax Gongzi Zhou to bring you to the banquet." Not to mention this, as far as I know, you and Li Tongzuo went to the autopsy room several times in private, what happened at that time, who knows? Maybe it's to get some benefit, and give yourself to a man to play with. The daughter of a good family, who would be so shameless? ”
As soon as she said this, all the young ladies present looked at each other with a hard look on their faces, and their eyes at Xu Chu were a little more vaguely disgusted.
But Xu Chu didn't care at all, she found a chair with the software and sat down, and took a sip of hot tea by herself. After a long time, he looked at the woman who was staring at him, and sneered: "Say that you have no brains, you are really brainless." Don't say where you came from these words, just say that you know that I am good at exorcism, but I am still so presumptuous, don't you worry about the possession of starving ghosts behind you? ”
The woman in yellow was still arrogant, but when she heard the word starving ghost, she instantly became excited. So much so that she felt a chill in her back.
However, Xu Chu didn't intend to let her go easily, she said coldly: "That ghost is still young, it looks like it should be a girl, no more than six years old, one leg is still broken, and she looks very miserable......"
