"And then?" Qin Zhong listened attentively and asked.

"Later, someone found a body in a river valley." The old ghost took a sip of wine.

"Whose corpse?" Qin Zhong frowned and asked.

"yes, the Deployment Division wants to know too." The old ghost whetted his appetite.

"Say it, say it." Qin was in a hurry.

It was a strange corpse, dressed in Han Chinese clothing, but it was clearly not his. Because the corpse was tall, and the clothes were obviously much smaller, it was extremely ill-fitting to wear on his body. The man was scarred, old and new. However, after the post-mortem examination, it was said that the person had frozen to death.

Liu Liang investigated for several months, using a lot of manpower and material resources, but did not find out who this person was. Within a radius of 100 miles, no one knew the deceased. The Iron Harrier had long since receded, the alarm was lifted, and no one cared about a strange deceased. It was as if all traces were buried in the thick snow, and this public case became an unsolved case.

However, Liu Liang's months of tracking were not without gains.

In a small village near Changwu Town, someone had seen the deceased. Because the deceased was tall and carried a little girl of seven or eight years old, he broke into the village just to beg for a hot meal, so he has a deep memory. Following this clue, which is not a clue, Liu Liang has not given up and has been tracking down for several years.

Even, Liu Liang used the secret spy lurking in Western Xia to track down from the source. He has always vaguely felt that there is a huge secret hidden in it, especially the rumors of the Bow and Arrow Courtyard at the beginning, as well as the Iron Harrier crossing the border to chase and kill, all of which made Liu Liang believe that once this secret is solved, it will definitely be shocked.

The effort was not in vain, and Liu Liang finally found out that the deceased had followed a group of refugees from Lingzhou over Hengshan and fled into the Great Song Dynasty. These refugees are all Han Chinese, and they have no choice but to flee their homes due to the exploitation of the party members, and want to return to the Great Song Dynasty to seek their family's life. Liu Liang found one of them and got an important clue.

The deceased's surname was Li, and he took a little girl with him, and he was silent all the way and rarely talked to anyone.

This man surnamed Li obviously doesn't know how to take children. The little girl was sick and crooked, and her face was sallow. Suddenly, one evening, he started to have a fever. In these days, cold and fever can kill people. What's more, on the way to escape, it was impossible to find a Lang Zhong to prescribe medicine. The eight-foot-tall man was anxious to wipe his tears, but there was nothing he could do.

Among the refugees, there was a Cui family and a couple who seemed to know some medical skills, and came over to help reduce the child's fever. As a day and a night passed, the child's fever subsided, and the man surnamed Li was grateful to Dade.

Subsequently, this group of refugees entered the Song realm, parted ways, and went their separate ways.

It wasn't until this spring that Liu Liang finally found Shayuan Prison. That's why Liu Zihao kidnapped the Cui family and killed the Cui family. Liu Liang suspected that the man surnamed Li and the Cui family had an intersection, but he didn't know what secrets the man surnamed Li was hiding. Whether the Cui family and his wife know about it is all speculation.

This is the guilt of Huaibi, even if it is speculation, Cui Jiazi did not escape the scourge of killing.

A family that has no quarrel with the world is so silently ruined.

Liu Zihao's methods were ruthless, tossing for a long time, and he didn't ask for the result. In desperation, he could only kidnap the Cui family and Xiao Nizi and go back to explain to the uncle. But he never imagined that he would kill a Qin Chong halfway, which not only ruined a big thing, but also put him in prison by the way.

Under the obscenity of the old ghost, Liu Zihao knows everything and says everything.

"It turns out that it's nothing." Qin Zhong was very disappointed, the so-called mysterious diagram was just speculation.

"Maybe there is, maybe not." The old ghost said in a long tone, "God knows. ”

"Old ghost, I've caught a few more people." Qin Zhong rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Cavalry." ”

"Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from? "This time, it's the old ghost's turn to be amazed.

"Weizhou." Qin Zhong approached the old ghost and said mysteriously, "Are you going to be interrogated again?" ”

"No." The old ghost put his hand behind him, hummed a little tune, and walked away.

"A pheasant?" Qin Zhong chased after the old ghost and began to seduce with delicious food.

"No."

"Two?"

"No."

"Old ghost, don't go too far."

..........

When Qin Chong returned home from the barracks, it was already midnight. The whole mansion was dark and dreary, and there was no sound at all. Qin Zhong didn't call the door, but jumped up to the wall and climbed over the wall with a little force. Returned to his small courtyard lightly, but suddenly found that there was a person squatting in front of the door, holding his head and falling asleep.

Qin Zhong looked at it intently, and immediately rolled his eyes. The person who is sleeping is his personal servant. This guy hasn't been seen for a few days, but he doesn't know when he came back.

"Three-filled, three-filled." Qin Zhong screamed twice, but San'er didn't wake up. Seeing this, Qin Chong hummed twice and curled his fingers, shining on Sansa'er's head, which was a crisp brain.

"Ah, who? Who is it? The three full children were in pain and jumped up in a daze.

"Three full children, how well did you sleep?" Qin Chong is yin and yang, and he jokes about three full children.

"Huh? Third Young Master, you're back. Seeing Qin Chong clearly, Sanfeng was in tears, and reached out to hug Qin Chong's arm. Qin Chong shook off with a disgusted expression and walked towards the house. I touched the fire on the table, lit it with a wave, and lit the oil lamp. A cloud of orange light slowly spreads out.

"Young Master, why did you come back?" Sanyuer laughed and came over again.

If you ask in this world, who has been with Qin Zhong the longest? Undoubtedly, it is a three-satiety child. Sanfeng was a street child, and when he was four or five years old, he was picked up by Qin Chong's mother, Jiang. After growing up for a few more years, he made a personal entourage to Qin Chong. Sanyuer and Qin Chong are of similar age, and the two can be said to have played since childhood, and they are inseparable.

Sansatou was not originally called Sansatie, and people have serious names. When Qin Chong was a child, he found that Sansa'er was very afraid of hunger, and he devoured his meals, and licked the bottom of the bowl cleanly. Sansatie's biggest dream is to have three full meals a day. Qin Zhong laughed at him, so he gave him the nickname of Sansatouer.

After so many years, everyone called him Sanshenger, but no one remembered his original name.

"Tell me, where have you died in the past few days?" Qin Chong had an angry expression on his face.

"You don't know?" Sanfeng'er was very aggrieved and said, "I was locked up in the firewood room, and the young master didn't save me." ”

"Huh? Shut down the firewood room? Qin Chong's momentum collapsed. I found out that I was wrong and blamed Sansa'er, and I became embarrassed when I got started. Since he woke up, Qin Chong didn't stop for a moment, and he had already forgotten about Sansa'er.

"The second lady is still kind-hearted and saved me." San'er pouted at Qin Chong.

"Alright, alright." Qin Zhong rubbed Sansheng'er's head and said, "A big man sheds tears at every turn. I don't know, I thought Sansa'er was a little lady. ”

"You're a little lady." Sanfeng'er muttered in a low voice, and peeked at Qin Zhong again. Of course, Qin Chong didn't dare to hear this, otherwise this guy with black hands might not know how to place him. However, after Qin Chong's trouble, the little grievance in Sanfeng'er's heart has long since dissipated.

"Young Master, are your injuries okay?" Sanmaoer remembered Qin Chong's injury, Qin Chong was struck by lightning that day and fainted on the spot, but Sanmaoer found a cart and dragged Qin Chong home. The injuries on Qin Chong's body, Sanfang'er is the clearest, the blood is red, from the shoulder to the abdomen, almost didn't split the person.

"It's much better." Qin Zhong stroked his chest lightly, still a little painful. I thought it was a battle today, and the wound was torn again, and I had to bandage it again.

"Have you eaten?" Qin Chong suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Nope." Sansheng'er lowered his head, Aunt Liu was in charge, and his life was worse than Qin Chong's.

"Let's go." Qin Chong stood up, grabbed Sanfeng'er and walked out.

Sanfeng'er grinned, and suddenly came to his senses. What Qin is going to do, he knows very well. The two of them grew up and ran to the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal food, but not once or twice. The two of them were familiar with the road, and after a while, they quietly touched the kitchen. It's strange that it's so late in the day, and the kitchen is still lit.

The two crept to the door and peeked inside. I saw a middle-aged woman sitting in front of the stove, in her thirties, with soft eyebrows, quietly looking at the fire. As if hearing the movement, the woman glanced at the door and said with a smile, "You two thieves, why don't you come in quickly?" ”

"Hehe, Aunt Yun." Qin Chong smirked, stepped over in a few steps, squatted beside the woman, hugged the woman's arm, and called Aunt Yun affectionately. "Aunt Yun is waiting for the two of us to come?"

The woman's name is Ah Yun, and she was originally Qin Chong's mother's dowry girl. When the Jiang family was there, Ah Yun assisted the housekeeper, and everyone had to be polite when they saw it. Five years ago, Jiang died of illness, Aunt Liu was in charge, and Ah Yun's treatment plummeted, and he was driven to the kitchen to do chores. In just five years, Ah Yun seems to have aged ten years.

"There's hot rice in the pot, I'll serve you rice." Ah Yun stood up and lifted the cage drawer.

"And chickens?" Sanfeng screamed with joy, stared at the half chicken in the pot, and swallowed his saliva. Ah Yun was quick with his hands and feet, and brought out the steaming dishes and placed them on the table. Qin Chong and the others are hungry, you fight for me, and they are very happy to eat. Ah Yun didn't say anything, and sat on the side and watched with a smile.

Looking at it, his eyes were red, he hurriedly covered his mouth, and turned his head to look away.

She thought of the deceased Jiang family, the sister who was as gentle as water.

Thinking of Jiang's deathbed entrustment, Ah Yun's tears burst out of his eyes, and he got up and walked out of the kitchen quickly.

"What's wrong?" San'er asked Qin Zhong in a low voice.

Qin Chong didn't speak, he shook his head slowly, looking at the chicken leg in his hand, but he couldn't eat it anymore. In Qin Chong's memory, he met Aunt Yun silently crying more than once. Even Qin Chong could guess that Aunt Yun's tears must be for him. Because in Aunt Yun's eyes, he could see his mother's appearance.

It's just that Qin Chong in the past had not opened his mind and ignored Aunt Yun's feelings for him.

"Have you eaten enough? Go back to sleep when you're full. Qin Zhong said sullenly.

Qin Chong stopped making a sound, snorted and picked up the rice in the bowl, got up and walked out of the kitchen. As soon as San'er saw Qin Chong leaving, he hurriedly stood up and chased after him, turned around and came back after half a while, reached out and grabbed two buns, and ran after Qin Chong while eating. I just ran two steps, and then I froze.

Outside the kitchen, Aunt Yun stood with her back under the tree. Qin Zhong stood behind Aunt Yun and watched silently.

"There's something you need to know." Aunt Yun turned around and looked at Qin Zhong and said.

"Aunt Yun, please speak." Qin Zhong said respectfully.

"Tomorrow, Aunt Liu will marry the second lady." Aunt Yun said.

"Marriage? What kind of pro is set? Qin Chong was stunned.

"I heard that it is the second son of the Qiu family, a salt merchant, and he will hide the matter of marriage tomorrow from the second lady."

"Salt merchant Qiu's family?" In Qin Chong's mind, a strange ugly face immediately popped up. On that day, in front of the Xiaoqi camp, he met a salt merchant from the Qiu family, what is Qiu? Familiar with the eldest brother Qin Xiao. Qin Chong couldn't remember the person's name for a while, but that face was unique, but it was still fresh in his memory.

"Aunt Liu is going to sell the second miss." Aunt Yun's words were full of anger.

"She dares." Qin Chong only felt a wave of anger, and rushed straight to the top door.
