Chapter 7: The Second Dead
The old housekeeper of the Liang family ran in in a panic, and before he could stand still, he began to shout, "Master, the second young master of our family, he has an accident..."
Hearing that the second young master of the Liang family, Liang Boqi, had an accident, Gu Changqing had a bad premonition in his heart, but the old man of the Liang family, Liang Xuan, asked calmly, "What can happen to the second young master?" Did you beat someone, or did you lose money in the gambling house? As for you being so alarmed. ”
"Master, our second young master....." The old housekeeper paused, turned his head and couldn't bear to look at Master Liang again, and said, "It's dead." ”
"Dead?" Master Liang was not sad, but smiled and said, "What's the matter, where did you find the second young master and die?" ”
The old housekeeper looked at the old man's appearance, and he was really anxious, "Master, you misunderstood, it's not that you found where the second young master went, it's that the second young master is really dead." The body was in our cloth shop. ”
Master Liang, who was calm just now, looked unbelieving at this time, "You... You're saying my boji is dead? ”
The old housekeeper couldn't bear to nod his head, but the truth came out, and it was useless to hide it.
When Master Liang heard the truth, he laughed, and the laughter was so loud that the big ones scared the birds in the treetops away, but soon, Master Liang fell down at a speed that people could see.
After settling Master Liang down, the old housekeeper took Gu Changqing to their cloth shop.
The Liang family's cloth shop is one of the signboards of Yong'an City, with high quality and much cheaper prices than cloth from other places. Even if the store is not in the most crowded place, or even a little remote, it still can't stop the popularity of their home.
When Gu Changqing arrived at the scene, the door of the Liang family's cloth shop had been besieged by the Liang family's own people, blocking all those who came to buy cloth for unknown reasons, and the explanation given was that the store was stolen yesterday, and if you want to buy something, you will come back another day.
This is also common sense, after all, if you open your door to do business, if you let people know that there have been dead people here, I am afraid that the business of this store and even the entire Liang family will be affected in the future.
Gu Changqing walked through the crowd step by step under the leadership of the old housekeeper, and some of the people outside knew Gu Changqing, thinking that he was here, maybe the theft of the store was indeed true, and from time to time, the crowd disbanded on its own.
The storefront of the entire Liang Jiabu store is actually very large, and it looks like it should be one of the two storefronts, with a total of two floors, and Liang Boqi's body is on the second floor.
Originally, the first floor was used to come in and sell goods, and the second floor was used to negotiate between big sales, but since this business became popular, the second floor has also been changed to sell goods, leaving only a small room for the boss to rest.
And the direct boss of this Liang family's shop is Liang Boqi, and it is also Liang Boqi's own first business, when Liang Boqi had just performed the gift of a weak crown, in order to test his son, Boss Liang only gave him a hundred taels of silver to let him go out to do business. Master Liang's idea was originally to let Liang Boqi know that it is not easy to do business, and it is even more difficult to make money, but in the end, Liang Boqi made a lot of money, and finally established this cloth shop.
Later, when Boss Liang's health deteriorated, he was relieved to hand over many of the Liang family's shops to Liang Boqi, but this cloth shop was still the one that Liang Boqi valued the most and the only one that proved himself.
And he, in the end, died in the place where he values the most, which has to be said that life is funny everywhere.

Liang Boqi is 23 years old this year, and he is in charge of most of the Liang family's business, and this morning, Xiao Er, who came to open the door, saw that he had hanged himself on the beam on the second floor of the Liang family's cloth shop.
Gu Changqing simply looked around at the environment on the second floor, there was no difference between the same floor, and then went to check Liang Boqi's body, although the body of the deceased had been put down, but the deadly rope hanging from the beam was still dangling to remind people of his existence.
Did Liang Boqi hang himself? This is the first feeling for everyone present, but why did Liang Boqi commit suicide? Could it be that he really killed that Qu Manyin? So that he can't bear the remorse in his heart and commits suicide in fear of sin?
But Gu Changqing felt that something was wrong, so he continued to ask, "You haven't seen the second young master of your family alive for a few days?" ”
"It's been about five or six days. He came to the store once that day, explained some things and left, and never saw him again, and he never went back to his family. The old butler replied.
"Did you notice anything wrong with him the day you saw him?"
"No, in fact, I can't say it, the second young master of my family is very cold, and he is the same to everyone, and he never says much except for business matters?"
"Oh?" Gu Changqing raised his head, "So, you don't know that the second young master of your family has a woman?" ”
"Women?" The old housekeeper was stunned, "We haven't really heard anything about this, but man, isn't this normal?" ”
"But that woman is also dead, do you think it's normal?" Gu Changqing's voice was as cold as moonlight, and the old housekeeper shivered when he heard it.
"But... This," the old housekeeper hesitated for a long time before he said, "Master Gu, do you mean that the second young master of our family and that woman are both martyred?" ”
Gu Changqing stood up from the side of the corpse, "What do you mean by double martyrdom?" He killed the woman, and the second young master of your family also killed him. How to go about martyrdom? ”
"But this.." The old housekeeper pointed to the second young master lying on the ground, and looked up at the thick hemp rope on the beam, "But didn't the second young master of our family commit suicide?" This hanging rope is still here, and when our people first saw it, he hung on it. ”
"Does the poison that killed you have to be the poison you drank?" Gu Changqing stared at the old housekeeper's eyes tightly, "If someone hangs on the beam, must it be hung by himself?" ”
The old housekeeper shook his head tremblingly and said, "But who will kill the second young master of our family?" Although he is weak in life, he really has no grudges? Although the second young master, as the son of a large family, like many people, likes to relax after doing business, the only difference between him is that he never bullies others. The second young master of our family said that being a person is the same as doing business, it is not advisable to have too many grievances, and if you can get along with each other, you will never set up an enemy, so that when you can't do it, there will be fewer people to step on your head. How could he provoke someone to kill him? ”
"So, your young master has never had a grudge against others?"
The old housekeeper shook his head, "It's not really, our young master and some people are indeed at odds in business, and there have been some quarrels, but this is not enough to kill?" ”
"Didn't you say that the second young master of your family doesn't like to talk to you about his own things, maybe he provoked someone, don't you know?"
