Chapter 69: A Thousand Clues

Seeing this, Chun Yu asked, "What's wrong?" Qihua pointed to the back of the man who had just passed, and said in a trembling voice: "I saw a scar on the corner of the man's eye. ”

"Ma Gui?"

Qihua was noncommittal, and immediately nodded again. The two hurriedly chased after each other, and Chun Yuji shouted eagerly: "This brother, please stay, brother, please stay." ”

The man stopped when he heard the sound, turned to look at Chun Yuji, and asked, "Did you call me?" ”

Chun Yu said: "Brother is Ma Gui? ”

The man nodded and asked suspiciously, "Are you looking for me?" We don't know each other. ”

Chun Yu smiled slightly and said, "Can you take a step to speak?" He looked around and pointed not far away: "It's good to go to the street pavilion over there and talk." Ma Gui promised.

The three of them entered the street pavilion, Chun Yuji took out the ice silk, did not speak, and handed it to Ma Gui.

Ma Gui took it and stroked it, looked at it carefully, raised his head and said, "This is sold from me." Puzzled, he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Chun Yuji observed Ma Gui's expression on the side just now, and felt that this person was not unusual. was thinking about it, Ma Gui suddenly asked, he didn't react for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he had to look at Qihua as if asking for help.

Qihua was secretly amused, thinking to himself that he usually talked about one set of things, but why he couldn't open his mouth at a critical moment. She had no choice but to say it herself: "That's the case, we want to go to the Western Regions to do business, and I heard that this kind of silk scarf sells well there, so we want to buy some goods." The shop here says you have the goods. ”

Ma Gui looked them up and down, and said with a smile: "You two can't go to the Western Regions. ”

Qihua listened and was curious: "Why can't I go?" ”

Ma Gui said: "Your body is too weak, the Western Desert is very desolate, you can't walk for a few days before you have to lie down." ”

Qihua was not happy, pouted and wanted to speak again, but Chun Yu turned to block her a few times, and said: "What Brother Ma said is that we just have this idea, and we haven't figured out how to go yet." ”

Ma Gui stared at the two with a smile and didn't talk. Chun Yuji said sincerely: "Whether or not to go to the Western Regions has not yet been decided, but we do want to buy some of this silk scarf." ”

Ma Gui unconsciously took the silk scarf and went around in his hand, and after a while, he said in an apologetic tone: "This is the ice silk from Qidi, I haven't bought much, and I've already bought it." ”

Chun Yu immediately asked, "Then who did you sell to?" Suddenly, he noticed that Ma Gui was looking at him with strange eyes, and said, "I thought, if anyone has bought too much, they can give me some." ”

Ma Gui thought for a moment and said, "Most of them were bought by merchants who did customs transactions. Locals don't buy much, I remember the Qin family manor bought a few. ”

"Are you not mistaken?"

"How can this be mistaken, the Qin family is a wealthy family here. It was Madame's personal maid who came out to buy it, and it seemed to be called Xiaoyan. She said that the daughter of the Qin family also likes it, so she wants to buy a few more. I heard that the daughter of the Qin family came back from the dead, which is really a strange news. ”

Ma Gui chattered and talked about it. Chun Yu didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "Thank you, Brother Ma." Let's take our leave. ”

Chun Yu was in a hurry for a few steps, and Qihua trotted to follow, complaining: "Why are you walking so fast?" ”

Chun Yu said: "Let's hurry back to the Qin family manor and discuss with Uncle Tan first." If the whereabouts of the silk scarf can be found, the murderer may be among them. ”

It was already afternoon when they returned to the Qin family's manor, and they hurriedly went to see Uncle Tan, and told them about finding Ma Gui, and that Xiao Yan, the little lady's personal maid, had bought ice silk from him.

Uncle Tan pondered for a while and said, "I'll go and call Xiaoyan here, we can ask her." After a while, Uncle Tan came over with the little goose.

Xiao Yan looked nervous and kept staring at Uncle Tan. Uncle Tan said, "What do you see me doing?" When they ask, you just tell the truth. ”

Xiao Yan said timidly: "What do you want to ask, hurry up and ask." Madame and the young man are taking a nap and will call me when they wake up. ”

Chun Yu nodded a few times and asked, "Have you ever bought ice silk?" ”

Xiao Yan looked puzzled, and Chun Yu took out the ice silk a few times, and she suddenly realized: "This white silk scarf, I bought it with my wife." ”

Chun Yuji asked again: "I have bought a few pieces, what is the use of?" Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "I've bought three or four, but I haven't seen my wife use them." ”

Chun Yu said: "Are these silk scarves still there?" Xiaoyan said: "I packed up my wife's clothes a few days ago, and I saw that there was another one. ”

"Has this silk scarf ever been given to Ruoyun?"

Xiao Yan pursed her lips and said, "Madam has no relationship with Ruoyun, so she won't send anything to her." ”

Uncle Tan's face twitched, and he glared at her fiercely, and she trembled with fright.

Chun Yuji asked again: "Who does that lady have more contact with on weekdays?" ”

Xiaoyan said: "Madame has a quiet temperament, except for the main man, she does not interact with people. If there is something to do on weekdays, we are also asked to do it. ”

Chun Yuji then asked, "Do you know where the missing silk scarf went?" Little Goose shook her head.

Chun Yuji wanted to ask again, but at this time, a handmaiden came panting, and when she saw Xiao Yan, she breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to rest for a while, and said, "Xiao Yan, why are you here, Madame woke up and sent us to look for you everywhere." ”

Xiao Yan jumped up in a panic, didn't answer, and ran away with a smoke.

Chun Yuji shook his head helplessly, and suddenly a spirit was stirred and said, "That's not right." Ma Gui said that the handmaid went to buy it, and Xiaoyan said that she accompanied the little lady to buy it. Who bought it? ”

Qihua didn't think there was anything strange about it, and said: "Maybe Ma Gui doesn't recognize the little lady, and thinks that she is also a handmaiden." Besides, is there any point in finding out who bought it? ”

Chun Yu thought about it for a few moments and muttered, "It's really meaningless." ”

Qihua was amused by his naivety, and was about to make a joke, when he caught a glimpse of Uncle Tan's serious and thoughtful expression, he restrained his playfulness and said, "Xiaoyan was called away by Mrs., and it is inconvenient for us to go directly to Mrs. ”

Chun Yuji was also at a loss at this time, looking at Uncle Tan.

Uncle Tan didn't say anything, got up and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and sighed: "I don't know what happened to Ruoyun." Then he turned and left.

Chun Yu and Qi Hua looked at each other, and after a while, the two of them stood up together, and Chun Yu said: "Go and see Ruoyun." ”

Qihua also said: "Go and see Ruoyun." ”

Chun Yu said: "She's in the county prison." ”

Qihua also said: "Yes, she is in the county prison." ”

Chun Yu sat down again after a few plops, with a depressed expression: "The county prison is not something that can be entered if you want to. ”

"Isn't the county prison just a place where you can go in if you want to?" Qihua felt funny when he looked like this, so he joked.

"I'm serious." Chun Yu is a few serious ways.

"How can I not speak seriously." Qihua laughed and said, "Don't you still want to rob the prison." ”

Chun Yu said that he was robbing the prison a few times ago, but he was momentarily angry, and he didn't think about how to do it, and he looked embarrassed at this time.

Qihua raised his hand to cover his mouth and held back a smile, and asked, "Do you want to see Ruoyun or not?" ”

Chun Yuji was nervous, and he didn't dare to talk any more, so he quickly got up and went out.

Qihua smiled secretly, stuck out his tongue, and followed.
