In the room upstairs that originally belonged to Ying Niang in the Zuihualou, the old bustard said with a bitter face: "A few officials, I really don't know who ransomed Ying Niang. Those who do what we do, only know silver, as long as they give enough silver, everything is easy to say, who will care where he is, who is the surname? ”

Li Qing asked: "I asked you about a person, and I heard that he is a frequent visitor to your place, and he is still a good friend of Yingniang." ”

The old bustard's suspicious gaze swept over the three of them: "You guys, shouldn't you be here to investigate the case of Zhu Xin's murder?" Do you suspect that Ying Niang killed the person? Ouch, that's wronged, the night Zhu Xin was killed, Yingniang was still with other guests, and many pairs of eyes saw it. ”

The corners of Li Qing's mouth twitched: "I thought that Ying Niang had promised to be Zhu Xin's concubine, so she wouldn't accompany other guests." ”

The old bustard laughed as if he had heard a big joke, "Ouch, this little official, you don't come to a place like ours at a glance, old woman, I'll tell you a heart-wrenching word today, in a place like ours, my father doesn't kiss my mother, I don't kiss each other, and I don't kiss each other, but silver is the closest." On this day he does not give money to redeem himself, and he does not say which one is which one is which. ”

Hua Xiao thought that what the old bustard said had polluted Li Qing's ears, and didn't want Li Qing to ask, so he said directly: "You always remember the appearance of the person who ransomed Yingniang, right?" ”

The old bustard said: "Oh, I remember the appearance, it is a very tall man, with a scumbag beard, a very fierce face, and he looks like a bandit, but he is very generous."

Hua Xiao said: "I will send a painter tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will describe this person's appearance to the painter, and you must not hide it." ”

The old bustard hesitated: "That...... Official, don't you suspect that the man killed Zhu Xin? ”

Hua Xiao looked at her coldly.

The old bustard shrank for a moment and sneered: "Yes, yes, I don't ask, I don't ask anything." ”

"You go out first, we're going to have another look at this room." Li Qing said to the old bustard.

The old bustard said in a huff: "There is nothing in this room, Yingniang has cleaned up when she leaves, and I am ready to let the newcomer move in in two days. ”

Li raised his chin slightly and stared at the old bustard: "You want to obstruct official business?" ”

Cai Baofang took a step in the direction of the bustard at the right time, and his hand was also on the hilt of the sword.

The old bustard said with a bitter face: "You look slowly, look slowly, don't touch my things." ”

Li Qing took a gold leaf out and put it on the table in front of the bustard.

The old bustard's eyes lit up, and his attitude changed again: "Ouch, how embarrassing is this, cooperating with the government inspection is what we ordinary people should do." As she spoke, she grabbed the gold leaf in her hand, as if she was worried that Li Qing would regret it, and said with a smile: "Then you look slowly, I will let people, no, I will personally bring you tea." ”

"No need." Li said lightly: "We are not here to drink tea, we will leave after inspecting this room, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb us." ”

The old bustard went out with a smile.

As soon as she left, the room was quiet.

Hua Xiao glanced at Li Qing: "You give her back the reward." ”

Li chuckled: "People have told me to dig out their hearts, can't you give one a reward?" ”

"I don't think there's anything useful to be found in this room." Cai Baofang looked around, as the old bustard said, the house was very clean.

As soon as his words fell, the door that had just been closed by the bustard creaked open, and a delicate figure dressed in red and green quickly slipped in.
