Because of Yu Fugui's excessive drinking, he was a little unstable on his feet after several attacks, and naturally lost his momentum.

In addition, at this moment, he was being restrained by Xiao Qinglang's right hand, and his cold gaze couldn't help but look at him like ashes, which made him lose his ability to shout in an instant, and he could only dry up when he opened his mouth: "Presumptuous, your adults don't dare to do this when they see me, you ......"

Before his words fell, he felt a piercing pain spread through the right half of his body, and then he made a few oops. The cold sweat on the door of the head rippled down, but when the eyes met the cold eyes of the other party, the fire was extinguished.

Xiao Qinglang sneered, and with a force in his hand, he directly pressed the person to the ground, "Obstructing the official to handle the case, this crime is more than a small merchant you can't afford." ”

The housekeeper on the side didn't expect his master to be controlled when he came up, and immediately stepped forward with an anxious expression to support his master. It wasn't until he felt that the strength in his hand couldn't be used at all, so he hesitated and said respectfully: "Son's subordinates are merciful, and my lord is also worried about the affairs behind his wife, so he is confused." ”

The person in front of him was dressed differently from the several yamen officials he had seen, and he thought that he had some background. I heard that Huang County's order was rewarded by the Criminal Department, isn't this the adult who came to the capital for a private visit?

Thinking of this, the housekeeper Yu didn't dare to make a mistake, looked at Xiao Qinglang's eyes full of coldness, and said in a panic: "Son, I don't know, my lord has really been sad for his wife these days." Others say that my lord is a rich man, and he brings red willows and green flowers to his home every day, but who knows the bitterness in his heart. The lord cherishes the lady in his heart, and he ...... for the sake of the lady."

As soon as his words said the key point, Yu Fugui said impatiently: "Yu Zhong, shut up for me." After that, he squinted at Xu Chu and his party, and snorted coldly, "My wife is past the first seven, since you said that she was victimized, then find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise...... Otherwise, I'm going to make you look good. ”

Although he said it fiercely, it couldn't help but make people see some clues from the expression of his neck. Coupled with the unfinished words of the housekeeper, it naturally became more and more suspicious.

What are they hiding, and what Yu Fugui wants to hide. Even if he is not the murderer, he must know some inside information, or the case itself is related to him.

"I don't know where Master Yu was when Mrs. Yu had an accident?"

Yu Fugui didn't want to cooperate with the investigation of any case, his face was ugly, but because he was looked at by Xiao Qinglang and the officials who were eyeing him, he had to reluctantly say: "At that time, I drank too much wine with the same person and rested in the room. ”

"I heard that before Mrs. Yu's accident that day, you had an argument with her, and you broke something by mistake?"

"I had a few words with Qiu Niang, but I didn't deliberately kill her. No one in the house knows, Qiu Niang and I quarrel almost every day, if I really mean to harm her, why bother to raise her carefully? Yu Fugui saw Xu Chu asking about breaking the vase, and couldn't help but get excited, and his red eyes and forehead burst into Qingjing, "I only shouted a few words, and then went to the main room full of anger." If it weren't for Xiaocui's crying later, I don't know what happened. ”

As for the matter of dropping the vase, although he didn't remember it very clearly, he vaguely remembered that Qiu Niang, who had never said a word at that time, suddenly reached out and smashed it on the ground. Afterward......

He had a headache, drank alcohol for many days, and reversed black and white day and night, which had already made him lose energy. Now that I'm angry, it's uncomfortable.

Xu Chu saw that it was difficult to ask any useful words, so his eyes swept over the depressed Yu Fugui and said: "I'll disturb Master Yu today, if I think of something in the future, I will also bother to send someone to inform the yamen." ”

In view of Yu Fugui's attitude, Xiao Qinglang and his entourage had no intention of greeting him again, so they only said a few words and got up to leave.

Originally, they intended to see Zhang's mother in Xiaocui's mouth again, after all, she had also appeared on the day of Zhang's accident. It's a pity that she went to Zhuangzi early this morning to see her son, so she was not in the house.

Xu Chu seemed to be unintentionally puzzled: "Zhang's mother also has a son who also works at home?" ”

"Yes, she is also a miserable person, she was a descendant of the Zhang family on the side before, and she served by the side of the lady in the early years. It's just that her wife is not treated well by her husband's family, she is often treated harshly, and because she is married far away, she has no one to rely on, and then she died of depression, and she was also sold because she offended the new lady. At that time, the lady had not yet lived in the Buddhist hall, and occasionally went out, and happened to meet that day, so I asked if there was a shortage of people in the house. It just so happened that there was a lack of a rough woman in the kitchen, so she came to our house. Butler Yu was also full of emotion when he talked about what happened at the beginning, "It is said that she was widowed at an early age, and she only had a sick son, and she came out to work for her son at an early age." But her son is really indescribable, the master and I met once, and I was almost scared. But that kid is also very high-minded, and he has even thought about Xiao Cui......"

"Oh? Thinking about Xiaocui? Can you see this? Xu Chu raised his eyebrows lightly and chuckled, "Didn't he do something abrupt?" ”

"But that's it, that day, the old man and I saw him sneakily in the main courtyard, and he said something to Xiaocui with excitement, and Xiaocui's face was bloodless and almost fainted." Butler Yu is speechless, he has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen someone like that, saying that a toad wants to eat swan meat is exalting him. "Later, Xiaocui said that he wanted to be good with Xiaocui, and because of that, the old man was angry and drove people directly to Zhuangzi......"

Steward Yu's words were not exhausted, if it weren't for Zhang's mother's honesty, she would have to drive the mother and son out.

"And what is her son's name? It's the first time I've heard of someone who makes people feel so scared to see it. Speaking of gossip, Xu Chu was much less serious and cold-hearted when he checked the scene before. This also made the housekeeper feel a lot more relaxed, at least he would no longer worry about what kind of nobleman this was in the capital, and then settle the accounts afterwards and trouble his own master.

"The big name seems to be called Zhang Yuanheng, I heard that I still met a name that was given by the first show."

"With your mother's surname?"

"Yes, it was said that he lost his father at an early age, and no one accepted him in his father's family, so he changed his mother's surname."

This kind of thing is extremely common in the market, especially in the countryside, and orphans and widows who have no one to support them will often occupy their fields and houses, and even more will be forced to remarry. The family with a son is better, there is hope, and some land can be saved. But if there is only a daughter, it will probably be divided between relatives and neighbors because of the bad habit of "eating out of households".

By the time he left Yu's house, it was already noon, and there was already a carriage sent by Huang County's order waiting outside Yu's house. And Huang County, who was not wearing official uniforms, was also pacing back and forth on the side of the carriage like ants on a hot pot at this time, and from time to time he glanced at the gate of Yu's house from afar.

It wasn't until he saw Xiao Qinglang and his entourage appear that he sighed and sighed that he suddenly became happy.

Originally, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chuyu had been delayed at home for most of the day, and they wanted to take advantage of the lunch time to take a break and go to Zhang's house to investigate. However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and before the two of them could follow the flow of people to the street, they saw that Huang Xianling had already rubbed his hands and came over.

"Gongzi Zhou, Miss Xu, this official has prepared a thin wine in the county office, and the two of you must not refuse." Huang Xianling smiled shyly, "There is also the road guide record of Liu Jiaxing's family back then, but the strange thing is that there is no Liu Jiaxing himself, only his father and mother went to Ningbo." Later, within half a year, his father's identity and household registration disappeared......"

The identity and household registration have been cancelled, and there is no record in the yamen?

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu's expressions became solemn, after the death of the legal person in this dynasty, it was reported to the official government for inspection, and after confirming that it was correct, the deceased person was cancelled, and the deceased's file was destroyed after it was reported to the state government. If the father of the Liu family no longer has a household registration, it means that he died only half a year after arriving in Ningbo.

"Later, the old wife of the Liu family sold herself to the local area to be an old mother, and there was no news in the future." Huang County's order is staggering, a good family with a lot of family background, just fell apart and died.

This is also normal, if it is a death deed to sell herself as a slave, then everything she will have in the future will be attached to the master's family, just like an object. And the government will no longer open another path or register her whereabouts. If there is an incident, she will find it from her master's house.

Xu Chu's expression condensed slightly, Liu Jiaxing was nowhere to be found, the father of the Liu family was seriously ill and then died, and the old wife was sold into slavery and disappeared.

And the Yu family's mother Zhang and her son Zhang Yuanheng do not seem to be abnormal, and their origins and whereabouts are clear. And if the two of them are the old wife of the Liu family and Liu Jiaxing, not to mention Zhang and Xiaocui, I am afraid that Zhang Xiucai and Yu Fugui can recognize each other, how can they let the two of them work at home safely?

For a while, Xu Chu couldn't figure it out, she subconsciously looked at Xiao Qinglang and expressed her own questions. This made Xiao Qinglang smile purely, shook his head and said: "The world is impermanent, although the change of appearance is too unbelievable, but it may not be impossible." Moreover, it is not impossible that Xu and the others are really innocent. Let's take note of this matter for the time being, and check it out tomorrow when Zhang's mother comes back. ”

"Can you find out why Liu's father and mother went to Ningbo in the first place? Who reminded the two to go south? Xu Chu pondered for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"It's been so long that there's no way to find out."

While speaking, Xiao Qinglang, Xu Chu and Huang Xianling had already stepped into the carriage.

The cars rushed by, and the noise outside was difficult to understand. The leaky cold wind blew in through the cracks, scattering the broken hair on her forehead, which made her inexplicably a little more feminine in addition to her coldness.
