Zhuang Rou asked Qin Qiu to guard the gate, and she walked to the mouth of the alley, wanting to pull a passer-by over to the yamen to report the case.

Suddenly, I saw the door of a brightly lit green building in front of me, and the little brother who led the way just now was being pulled by two flowery women, trying to recruit him in.

"Little brother, you've been watching at the door for a long time, so come in and sit down." The women grinned.

"No, I just had stones in my shoes, so I paused." The kid hurriedly explained that he did hesitate, so he stopped at the door of the Qinglou. But thinking that silver is not easy to come by, and that bit of silver enters this gold nest, it will be gone.

He resisted the desire/desire in his heart and was about to leave, but he didn't want to be discovered by these sharp-eyed girls.

When the women heard his explanation, they giggled even more, "Little brother really has a thief's heart and no thief's guts, let my sister help you." ”

"No, I really have to go, there is something at home, good sisters, just let me go." The kid smiled bitterly.

Just as he was saying good things to the women in the Qinglou, just begging them to let him go quickly, a voice came from behind him, "It turns out that you are still here, just right, I have something for you to do." ”

The women in the Qinglou stopped and looked at the person who came, if the girl in the next building came to steal the business, then she would have to be cleaned up.

The kid also turned his head, and when he saw that it was Zhuang Rou, he quickly shook off the hands that were holding him, and bowed and said, "Nobleman, I don't know what else is the use of villains?" ”

Seeing that the person who came was not a girl, the young man made a big salute again, and the women in the Qinglou hurriedly took two steps back, and took a good look at Zhuang Rou, who was wearing men's clothes, thinking that she was from the rivers and lakes.

Zhuang Rou didn't look at the women in the Qinglou, but just said to the kid: "Little brother, please go to the government and tell them that there was a murder case in Qushuang Lane, and all the people in the house were killed." And when I have brought them here, I will give you ten taels of silver. ”

"Huh?" The kid looked up at her dumbfounded, "Murder!" ”

"That's right, all the people in the house are dead, please trouble the little brother to run errands." Zhuang Rou was a little speechless, why was she so unlucky, she still encountered this kind of thing in the house, and she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep tonight.

Only then did the kid react, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Is that the house you are talking about?" ”

He never expected that there would be a murder in the place he had just been. The originally quiet alley of Qu Shuang Alley suddenly became terrifying, making his hair stand on end.

Zhuang Rou nodded, "Yes, you go quickly, I'll wait at the door." ”

"The villain will go now!" The boy hurried in the direction where the yamen was.

Seeing him run to report to the official, Zhuang Rou was about to go back, when he suddenly found that the Qinglou women were staring at him with curious and excited eyes, looking like they wanted to inquire about something new.

She said, "If you want to see it, you can go to Qushuang Lane to see that the heads have been cut off and hung at the gate like lanterns." The eyes were gouged out and thrown away, and red candlelight lanterns were placed in the eye sockets, and the red light was terrifying. ”

"Yikes!" When the Qinglou women heard this, they screamed in fright and ran back to the Qinglou, where did they dare to see such a terrible thing.

Seeing that everyone was scared away, she turned around and went back to Qushuang Lane.

"Well, I also said that when I entered the house, I asked my subordinates to prepare hot water for a bath, and then cook some ginseng and chicken soup or something for supper." Zhuang Rou sat in the carriage and said with some grievances.

Qin Qiu was already surprised, after provoking trouble, things would only come over one after another like a tidal wave, and wave after wave.

It's just eating ginseng and chicken soup on a big night, which play is this singing?

He watched Zhuang Rou sitting in the carriage with his knees crossed, and he couldn't help but want to despise her, obviously he was a murderous madman, but he still had to pretend to be cute in ordinary times.

"Why would you want to drink ginseng chicken soup at night? After drinking that kind of thing, I can't sleep at night, and people with weak bodies and kidneys will drink it to shake the male wind. I think your yang energy is enough, and I'm afraid you'll grow a beard if you drink it again. Qin Qiu said.

Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, and looked up at him in surprise, if she remembered correctly, she had seen Chu Xia drink this kind of soup, and she had even grabbed it and drank it herself.

She blinked her eyes a few times and asked uncertainly, "Except for kidney deficiency, no one usually drinks it?" ”

"......" Qin Qiu didn't know why she looked like a thief, it couldn't be that she had robbed other people's ginseng and chicken soup all day long to drink.

He tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a hesitant look: "Yes, yes, it should be used by the kind of exhausted person to replenish qi." But for the kind of woman who doesn't use her brains very much, she will only make up her beard. ”

Hearing his words, Zhuang Rou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I thought that the little county king was only in his early twenties, and he actually had kidney deficiency." It's right to think about it, his mind is full of tricks and tricks all day long, so he naturally has to make up for it. ”

It turned out to be a little lover who was worried about her, and she was really not ashamed at all, and she was only worried about this before she got married.

Qin Qiu was afraid that she would extend this question to herself, so she quickly changed the topic, "Who do you think did it, Nangong?" ”

"I don't know, but the Nangong family can't hide from this, but I didn't even enter the gate, and the people inside were killed. You said that it looks like he was killed last night, and the deed of sale was still in Nangong's house at that time, so the deceased cannot be regarded as my person, but theirs. Zhuang Rou thought for a while and said.

"If it weren't for me, but someone else, I'm afraid that this matter would have escaped by the Nangong family, and it would have been possible to turn a big thing into a small thing, until it was a small thing. But now that it's in my hands, they have to come forward if they don't want to. ”

"I wish this matter had something to do with the Nangong family." Qin Qiu saw through her mind at a glance.

Zhuang Rou laughed twice, "No, there is no such thing, I also want to relax for a few days." ”

Qin Qiu glanced at her, "If you believe you, you will have a ghost." ”

The two sat in the carriage and chatted, and the people from the government did not wait, but saw a few sneaky people at the mouth of the alley, and looked at the probe for a while, and then came over.

Looking at their dress, it seemed that they were guys from the surrounding shops, and when they approached, they looked at the gate, their expressions were very painful and nervous, and they squinted their eyes and looked at it bravely, and they were relieved to see that the lanterns were hanging at the gate instead of human heads.

Zhuang Rou really convinced these people, and even came over to see the excitement, she said coldly: "What, did the murderer come back to check the scene?" ”

Those people were taken aback by her, and quickly waved their hands and said, "No, we just heard from a few sisters that there was a murder here, and everyone is a neighbor, so we came to take a look." ”

"If it's not someone you killed, just step aside, otherwise you will find your footprints and arrest you if you can't solve the case." Zhuang Rou reminded that it was not her nonsense, but that this kind of thing was very likely to happen.

When a few people heard this, they quickly retreated and leaned against the opposite wall, looked at the vermilion gate of the house in front of them, and swallowed, "Are the two of you from this family?" What's going on inside? ”

Zhuang Rou looked at them and asked, "Who are you, which store guys like to join in the fun." ”

"The villain is from Lichun Courtyard, and the guest heard that there was a murder here, so he insisted that the villain come and inquire." One said.

The other person is the running hall of the teahouse next door, who also came to inquire about the news, but not because the customers wanted to hear it, but because their boss wanted to know, so that it could add fresh topics to the storyteller in the store.

The other two said: "We are a wall across the Huayan Building, just now someone upstairs found that there seemed to be someone lying in the courtyard in this house, and they didn't move for a long time, so the owner sent us over to see if something happened." ”

"Huayan Building? It's you next door. Zhuang Rou was stunned, isn't that the branch of the Bliss Sect in Laixiang City?

"Yes, my owner originally came to see that this house had been empty for a long time, only the next person came in and out, and felt that it was too wasteful, and I was trying to talk to the owner of the house and buy the house, but I didn't expect this to happen." The two said regretfully.

If there is a murder inside, it will be unlucky, even if you buy it and take care of it again, who will dare to come after hearing it.

Zhuang Rou looked at them and laughed, "This house will be mine from this afternoon, if your owner wants to buy it, you can come directly to me to talk." ”

"But you see that this house will not be able to live in it for a while, or you go back and talk to the owner, let me live in your Huayan Building. Don't worry, I'll pay for the room and food. She said seriously.

The two of them were stunned, their Huayan Building was a green building, and women were afraid that it would be okay to live in it?

Zhuang Rou looked back at the house with a look of regret, "I don't dare to live in the house anymore, so I can only sell it." ”

"Your noble, please wait a while, the villain can't be the master of this matter, and the villain will go back to report to the owner immediately." As soon as the guy from Hongyan Mansion heard that she had the intention of selling the house, he hurriedly said.

"Okay." Zhuang Rou nodded, and the two guys hurriedly walked out of the alley.

Don't look at the back door in the alley, it has also been locked for many years, and without the consent of the Nangong family, they don't dare to use the back door to enter and exit.

The guys from the other two families didn't leave, kneeling in the corner and waiting for the people from the government to come over, and only after inquiring about things clearly could they go back to the errand.

Zhuang Rou didn't drive them away, but the people from the government didn't come after waiting for a long time, this was a murder case, she didn't believe that the local officials dared not come to handle the case!

When her anger rushed up one by one, she couldn't help it, and wanted to find the official mansion to smash them, and a group of people in official uniforms finally appeared at the mouth of the alley.

The kid who went to report the case ran over first, with a look of grievance, "Nobleman, the villain went to report to the official, but it was too late, and it took a long time for someone to come." ”

"I see, this is a reward for you, let's go back and rest first." Zhuang Rou took out ten taels of silver to him, if the official doesn't want to work, this kind of ordinary person is lucky if he doesn't eat the board.

The boy took the money, thanked him, and hurried away, he didn't want to have anything to do with the government anymore.

The official who came was wearing a historical official uniform, with an unhappy face, and when he arrived at the door, he shouted at Zhuang Rou: "Who reported the case, where is the dead body?" ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him and said coldly: "The case I reported, this official is Zhuang Rou, the female captain of the horse, and I just arrived in Laixiang City today, this house was given to me by someone in the afternoon, and when I came over in the evening, I found that there were dead people inside." ”

"......" Nadian Shi looked at her stunned, and after finally finding out who Zhuang Rou was in his mind, he suddenly became weak, and leaned on the official next to him, so frightened that the official hurriedly supported him.

Dian Shi came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "The lower officials don't know that Lord Zhuang is here, and he has lost his welcome, so please include Lord Zhuang more!" ”

Zhuang Rou rolled his eyes, "I said that you officials, why are you looking for death all day long, hurry up and work for me!" ”
