Old man Cao's cloudy eyes rolled dryly, and he explained: "The whole county knows that the government is searching for a lame old lady, and my shop is close to Cuihong Courtyard, and countless people have come to ask me about the lame old lady. ”

"I don't think so, right?"

"How not." Old man Cao fiddled with the rice bowl to hide his unnatural emotions, "This crutch is mine, I occasionally have leg pain, and I will take it down." ”

Chu Cheng took the cane in her hand and touched it, and sneered: "This kind of camphor wood is not available to ordinary people. Do you run such a grain and oil shop, do you earn ten taels or fifty taels a day? ”

What she said was obviously sarcasm, ten taels of silver was enough for a person like him for three or four years!

How do you know that the old man Cao insisted: "Yes, my family has high profits, and I can earn seven or eight taels a day, is it strange to buy a good crutch?" ”

Chu Cheng laughed angrily, and knocked the cane on the rice jar, which was very harsh.

"You're a grain and oil shop! It's not Emerald Temple! I haven't heard of a small grain and oil shop that makes so much money every day! Chu Cheng glanced at him sideways, and stretched out her right hand, "Bring your account book!" ”

Old Man Cao's tone was a little disordered: "Everyone who does business knows that the account book is a secret thing, how can it be handed over to you?" ”

Chu Cheng pointed to Zhao Er beside him: "The official wants to check, but you still don't give it?" ”

“…… Forgiveness. ”

Old man Cao stiffened his neck and made up his mind not to hand it over.

Zhao Er also saw that something was wrong, and he asked Chu Hui: "Madam, why don't I tie him up?" ”

When the old man Cao heard this, he hurriedly roared: "I'm in poor health, if you knock me and touch me, I want you to not be able to eat and walk around!" ”

Chu Ji didn't want him to overreact to death, she instructed Zhao Er: "I'm guarding here, you go to the county government to call Lin Boqin and them over, and say that the murderer has been found." Zhao Er nodded and immediately ran to the county office.

Old man Cao reacted and stared at his cloudy eyes: "What do you mean by this?" I'm an old man, can I still assassinate a big official? ”

Who knew that Chu Cheng hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled badly: "I don't care if you are a murderer or not, you can't let Lord Lin and Xiao Daxia die, right?" I think you're almost alive at your age, so it's better to go out and suffer for them! ”

"You!"

Old man Cao didn't expect Chu Cheng to have this idea, obviously listening to the voice and seeing the silhouette was a delicate woman, but the words he said couldn't help but make people shudder.

"You're slandering!"

"Who told you not to tell who this crutch is?"

Old man Cao was very embarrassed, he was about to refute, and suddenly found that there was no one around early in the morning, just Chu Cheng and him. The other party's voice was crisp, and when he heard it, he was a soft and delicate woman, and his eyes rolled and he thought about it.

"Okay, I'll tell you, the guy is actually in the backyard, but you can't say I'm the murderer."

Chu Cheng smiled: "This is nature, lead the way." ”

Old man Cao lifted a curtain from the backyard of the shop and led the way in front. There were only a few rooms in the backyard of the shop, Chu Cheng looked at it and asked, "Where is it?" Call it out and I'll see. ”

Old man Cao raised his hand and pointed: "It's in the room in front, he may be sleeping, you can just push the door and go in." ”

Chu Cheng pretended to be ignorant, walked forward and pushed the door, Old Man Cao saw the opportunity, picked up a fire brick on the ground, and slapped it on Chu Hui's head-

However, the expected result did not appear, and this woman, who looked soft and weak, turned slightly sideways, which could be avoided.

Old man Cao was stunned, could it be that his eyes were not good and he lost his head?

Chu Ji didn't turn around, Old Man Cao's movements seemed to be a hundred times slower in her eyes, and she was not afraid of a sneak attack by someone who didn't know martial arts.

Chu Ji sneered and pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was dim, there was no lamp, there were three incense sticks lit on the desk, a spiritual tablet was placed, and a portrait was hung on the wall.

The portrait was a young man, Chu Cheng was stunned, and only felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember the name of who it was.

Old man Cao originally planned to knock Chu Cheng unconscious, but he didn't expect that it would be useless to sneak attack again, Chu Cheng had already entered the house, and he hurriedly said: "Get out quickly, this is not a place where you can come in!" ”

Chu Cheng turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "What?" Didn't you say the murderer was here? ”

"I was wrong."

Old man Cao really didn't blink his eyes when he lied, and he didn't feel ashamed of himself for a while.

Chu Ji glanced at the name on the spiritual seat, Cao Feihua? I don't know.

But why does it sound familiar?

Seeing her looking at the portrait intently, Old Man Cao was immediately furious, and stepped forward to block Chu Cheng's sight: "If you don't leave, I'm going to be polite." ”

When Chu Cheng went out, he went down with a brick and beat Chu Cheng to death, and then he ran away with the silver to keep it from being found.

Chu Cheng took the cane, glanced at the old man Cao, and found that he looked a little similar to the person in the portrait.

Suddenly, Chu Cheng finally thought of who the person on the portrait was!

The second shop of the black shop inn!

At that time, she and Lin Boqin were kidnapped, and she quietly stabbed this person to death with a chopstick. Later, Xiao Xuan appeared and killed another burly man, and the second sister of Chun cut off her own feet and saved them......

Yes, Second Sister Chun!

Isn't she a cripple if she killed her left foot?

The face can change, and it can be easily done with a little time and tools.

When Chu Cheng fled the capital before, she also disguised herself as Li Siniang's maid Zi Tao.

Without any doubt, Chu Cheng is sure that the lame old lady is the second sister of Chun!

Everything seems to have an explanation.

Second Sister Chun was forced like that by Xiao Xu, she must be very concerned and is bound to take revenge. Second Sister Chun's martial arts skills are not as good as Xiao Xu, but she wants to take revenge, and somewhere she learned that Wu Guangbi was coming to Qingyuan County, so she thought that she could make a move to bring trouble to the east. She first pretended to be a lame old lady and sold Feng He's highly poisonous rice, which may have been taken in the grain and oil store; Second Sister Chun is charming and amorous, Xiao Lu's friend in Youzhou may still be the guest of Second Sister Chun, so it makes sense for him to bite and frame Xiao Xu.

The more Chu Cheng thought about it, the more likely it became, she simply stepped forward, pulled the placket of Old Man Cao's clothes fiercely, and asked, "Say, who are you Second Sister Chun?" ”

"I ...... I do not know! ”

Old man Cao heard the words "Second Sister Chun", and he was obviously stiff.

He struggled twice, and found that he couldn't break free, how could this delicate woman be so strong?

Before Old Man Cao could figure out the reason, Chu Cheng slapped the brick in his hand and said coldly: "Don't explain, right?" Then go to the yamen, the chili oil tiger chair, the cannon branding salt water whip, and the big punishment is served! ”

Old man Cao trembled, although his pupils were blue-gray, Chu Cheng also understood a trace of horror in his eyes.

She pulled off his shirt with a vicious voice and said, "Follow me!" ”

Old man Cao had no power to fight back, and as soon as the two of them pulled outside, they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, but it was Lin Boqin who had arrived with Hu Yuyangla.

"Li Siniang, what are you doing here?" Lin Boqin turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly greeted him.

Before Chu Cheng could speak, the old man Cao shouted at the top of his throat: "Help, adult!" Adult help! This wicked woman hurts people, and she also wronged me for being the murderer of Wu Guangbi! I'm almost seventy years old, how can I afford to hold such a heavy sword, and climb so high on the windows of the emerald red courtyard! ”

Lin Boqin was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Ji.

"Husband, I have done you a great favor today."

Chu Cheng smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming.

Lin Boqin's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and asked, "What is it?" ”

Old man Cao kept shouting, and when he heard Chu Cheng calling Lin Boqin "husband", he was like falling into an ice cave.

He wondered, how could a woman come to investigate herself for no reason, it turned out that she was the wife of Lord Lin Boqinlin!

Chu Ji threw Old Man Cao to Yang Lahu Yu and said to Lin Boqin: "The person who killed Wu Guangbi is Second Sister Chun. ”

"No wonder."

Lin Boqin glanced at the crutches in Chu Cheng's hand, and then thought about what happened in the black shop inn that day, and many doubts were solved.

Although Second Sister Chun is not as strong as Xiao Xuan's martial arts, she is not bad, even if she cuts off one of her feet, it will be easy for her to kill Wu Guangbi. And only people in the rivers and lakes like Second Sister Chun know Xiao Xuan and these rangers who walk in the rivers and lakes together, whether they are Feng He or Xiao Xu's friends in Youzhou.

Chu Cheng pointed at the old man Cao again and said, "This old thing is an accomplice, if I am not mistaken, he should be Cao Feihua's grandfather." ”

A trace of doubt appeared on Lin Boqin's handsome face: "Cao Feihua? ”

Chu Cheng let out an "oh" and explained, "Do you remember the second shopkeeper who greeted us in the black shop?" She hesitated for a moment when she said this, "It's the one who was stabbed in the center of the eyebrows by Xiao Yu with chopsticks and died." ”

In this way, Lin Boqin also remembered.

The shopkeeper still coveted Chu Cheng's beauty, and wanted to insult her at that time......

There was a touch of frost under his eyes, he nodded, and said solemnly: "The great traitor and the evil man are innocent of death." ”

Old man Cao listened to the conversation between the two, and he could still hold it back, but when he heard the words "dead and innocent", he couldn't help it anymore, his cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and he retorted loudly: "What do you know? Why do you say that he is innocent of death? The innocent ...... It's you! It's you sanctimonious people! ”

Thinking of his tragic death of his grandson, he couldn't help but cry and shouted: "Feihua is the only seedling of my Cao family, and he was killed by Xiao Xu's bastard...... Who else in the world can come to give me a pension...... My grandson......" He was shaking from crying, and his clumsy back could still see the thin and deformed bones of his spine through the jacket.

"What did I do in my last life! The forty-year-old daughter-in-law ran away, the fifty-year-old son died, and the sixty-year-old was riddled with diseases......" Old man Cao was full of grief and anger and had nowhere to vent, he smashed his fist on the rice cylinder, "The only obedient and sensible grandson, in order to earn money for me to treat the disease, followed Erchun out to run the rivers and lakes, and was killed...... Is it wrong for me to want revenge on my grandchildren? Is there still a heavenly principle?! ”

Old man Cao choked up and said: "Xiao Qi can kill my grandson, he will be imprisoned, and you will be uneven; But when my grandson is dead, who will hold my grievances for me? Finally, Erchun was willing to help...... But now...... Now I hurt her. ”

He forgot to put away the crutches used by Second Sister Chun.

He forgot!

Who would have thought that Chu Cheng would find crutches and suspicious points so coincidentally? Is there a destiny in the dark...... If so, why didn't anyone avenge his grandson!

Cao Feihua cried hoarsely, and the old and weak old man squatted on the ground, looking very pitiful.

But there is something hateful about the wretched.

Lin Boqin glanced at him coldly, and instructed Yang La and Hu Yu: "Escort the people back to the county government and interrogate them carefully." ”
