Chapter Seventy-One: Layer by Layer

Chun Yuji and Qihua returned to the manor, it was already the dead of night, and the two crept into the house, without lighting the lamp, and whispered by the moonlight.

Qihua suddenly gasped and said mysteriously, "I have figured out who that strange man is." ”

"Ma Gui." Chun Yu said lightly.

Qi Hua was stunned: "How did you think it was Ma Gui?" ”

Chun Yu said: "Do you remember, when we asked about buying ice silk, Na Ma Gui said, 'I heard that the daughter of the Qin family came back from the dead, it is really a strange news'." You recall that when we came to the county seat, no one knew about Ruoyun's death. If the cloud comes back from the dead, only the people in the manor know. Qin Jian felt that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and specially took care of everyone not to mention this matter again. Ma Gui, an outsider, how did he know? ”

Qi Hua followed his words and continued: "He is familiar with the little lady, and the little lady bought ice from him, perhaps to contact him and instruct him to murder Ruoyun and Qin Jian. ”

Chun Yu nodded in agreement, but raised another question: "How could Ma Gui be familiar with the little lady, why did he listen to her words and kill people." ”

"Money, give money." Qihua glanced at him, his eyes were full of disdain, and he felt that this question was very stupid, and he didn't have to answer it.

Chun Yuji didn't care, frowning and thinking about something. Qihua saw that he was cute and cute, and laughed in his heart, and said, "What are you still thinking?" Chun Yu didn't seem to hear her question, and only cared about his own thoughts. After a while, Qihua suddenly shouted: "That's not right. ”

Chun Yuji woke up in shock, raised his face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You think, Ma Gui is a merchant, and the little lady buys ice silk from him, even if she is seen, it doesn't matter, why bother to murder Ruoyun. The strange man should be someone else, and the little lady should deliberately hide it. Qihua said hurriedly.

Chun Yuji was aroused by her curiosity: "You can talk about it." ”

"The little lady is not reluctant to marry Qin Jian, she has resentment, or adultery. The strange man may be an adulterer, and he ran to the manor to find her, and happened to be bumped into by Ruoyun. The little lady was afraid that her adultery would be exposed, so she went to find Ma Gui to be the murderer. After Qihua finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Chun Yuji, waiting for him to respond.

Chun Yu thought for a while: "There is some truth in saying this, and it can also explain why he murdered the owner of Qin Zhuang later." He glanced at her and said casually: "You are a girl, but you know a lot about the world." ”

Qihua was immediately embarrassed by what he said, and snorted: "Isn't this analyzing the murder case?" Before long, she let out an "ah" sound, stood up suddenly, stretched out her hand and pointed at Chun Yuji, with an angry face: "How can you say this about me." ”

Chun Yu was stunned by her roar, and when he thought about it, he also felt that what he said was a bit frivolous, so he made an apology with both hands.

Qihua pointed his finger at him, turned his face sideways and smiled quietly, and after a while, he snorted and sat down.

Chun Yu smiled and said, "What you said is not bad. However, the strange man is nowhere to be found, and we can only keep an eye on Ma Gui at the moment. If Ma Gui tells the truth, then the truth will be revealed. He sighed again, looked lonely, and said, "What is the matter with such a sin?" ”

Qihua said: "Ruoyun came back after being rescued by you, they were afraid that Qin Jian would find out about the adultery, so they colluded to murder Qin Jian and blamed Ruoyun." In this way, the wealth of the Qin family's manor will all belong to their mother and son, and the adulterer and Ma Gui will also be rewarded. ”

At this time, there was a midnight knock from Que Lou, and Chun Yu said: "Let's go to Ma Gui tomorrow." It's late at night, so let's rest. ”

Qi Hua smiled and didn't speak. Chun Yuji was shocked to realize that the two were in the same room, scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, stood up and said, "You sleep, I'll go outside the door and watch." ”

Qi Hua said angrily: "It's dark outside, and it's cold at night, so how can I get sick." ”

Chun Yuji stood at the door, looked out and into the house, and looked hesitantly.

Qihua was secretly amused, and said with a straight face: "What is there to see." What does it matter that you sleep yours and I sleep mine? ”

Chun Yu was embarrassed a few times, no longer stubborn, and lay down at the door.

Qihua stared at his back, his heart was also warm, and he slept in the compartment with a smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Chun Yuji discussed with Hua to find Ma Gui first. Qihua hesitated a little and said: "Even if we find Ma Gui, we can't come up with evidence, if he blindly denies it, we are helpless." ”

Chun couldn't think of any other way for a while.

Qihua suddenly had a flash of inspiration, suddenly became excited, straightened up, and said solemnly: "Let's go directly to the county magistrate Zhou Budo, tell him about these situations, and arrest Ma Gui in the name of the government, and force him to tell the truth." ”

Chun Yu turned his face a few times, looked at her intently, and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Qihua pushed him and said, "Okay?" ”

Chun Yuji hesitated and said, "If it is an ordinary case, it is not impossible to do this. However, Zhou Budo believes that it is Ruoyun who killed his father, and if you find a Ma Gui, he may not believe it. ”

Qihua seemed to be deflated, his body softened, and he said listlessly: "That's good." We have to rush to Chang'an, and we must not delay the hour. ”

Chun Yuji thought for a while, and said: "Okay, according to what you said, let's find Ma Gui first and send him to the official mansion, if the interrogation results out, we can clear Ruoyun's grievances, which is the best policy." If you can't find Ma Gui, then wait until it gets dark, go to the county prison and rescue Ruoyun and take her to Chang'an. However, in this case, Ruoyun will be wanted by the government, and her grievances will not be cleared. This can only be calculated. ”

Qihua sighed: "If that's the case, I have to rescue Ruoyun first, what will happen in the future, let it go." ”

The two went out of the house and happened to meet Uncle Tan. Seeing the two of them going out in a hurry, Uncle Tan stepped forward to stop him and asked eagerly, "Did you see Ruoyun yesterday?" ”

Chun Yu said: "I saw Ruoyun." ”

"Ruoyun is good?" Uncle Tan asked again.

Chun Yu said: "She's okay, we told her that we will save her from prison." ”

Uncle Tan hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Chun Yu said: "Let's go find Ma Gui again." He explained his thoughts in detail again, thinking that Ma Gui was implicated in a series of strange things that happened in the Qin Mansion, but no evidence of his collusion with the little lady had been found at the moment, and the government might not accept it. He also said that Qihua suspected that the little lady might have an adulterer.

When Uncle Tan heard the word "adulterer", his face changed suddenly, and he instantly regained his calm, and said: "If this is the case, then Ma Gui and the little lady must be colluding for money." ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "The little lady will not have many copper coins around her, and if she gives Ma Gui money, it must be gold, silver, jewelry, or silk and satin. Such possessions are well documented. If Ma Gui has the property of the Qin Mansion by his side, then it can be confirmed that he is involved in the murder of the Qin Mansion. ”

Qihua was overjoyed and said, "Uncle Tan is really powerful." ”

Uncle Tan was not optimistic, he was still worried about Ruoyun's safety, and said with a worried expression: "If you can't find the real murderer, what will Ruoyun do?" ”

"We're going to rob the prison. Rescue Ruoyun and take her away to fly. Chun Yuji's expression was grim.

Uncle Tan was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were staring at Chun Yuji.

Chun Yu didn't dodge a few times, and the two looked at each other silently. Uncle Tan looked solemn and arched his hand: "When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, the so-called chivalrous man is a gentleman." Shame on the contemptible. ”

Chun Yu returned the courtesy and said: "Don't dare, Xiaosheng just can't bear to be wronged again." ”

After he rescued Ruoyun from the barren mountain tomb and sent her back to the Qin family's manor, he learned that she had a sad life, so he felt empathy and pity, and regarded her as his own relative.

Uncle Tan stepped forward, put his hands on his shoulders, shook vigorously, and did not speak, his eyes were full of tears.

Qihua looked up at the sky and said, "We still have to rush to Chang'an, we really can't afford to delay." Therefore the matter of Ruoyun must be decided today. No matter what the outcome, we have to rescue Ruoyun. ”

Chun Yuji and Uncle Tan nodded together, and Uncle Tan said, "There are two Lao." Chun Yu bowed a few times and returned the salute.

Uncle Tan left in a hurry, Qihua looked at his back and muttered: "You care so much about Ruoyun, why don't you go with us, we are not familiar with life." ”

Chun Yu said: "Uncle Tan is the housekeeper here, and he can't do without it." Let's go. ”
