The Seventh Prince was curious.

"Could it be that the bustard is sick?"

The name of the thinner girl is Chunhua.

"Oh, it's our old bustard, we've gone out of town. We don't have anyone here, so business is naturally deserted. ”

The fatter one is called Qiuyue.

"Originally, Aunt Zhou could take care of everything for her mother, but she happened to be sick again. When she is well, everything will naturally be on the right track. ”

To see the two people flickering their words is to lie.

The Seventh Prince's face changed.

"What did the bustard do when he went out of town? Approximately when will you be back? ”

The two women looked at each other, and one of them replied.

"It's time to see a sister I haven't seen in years. I don't know when I'll be back, but I guess it's going to be a long walk, after all, it's a long way to go. ”

The Seventh Prince naturally wouldn't believe their words, so he wanted to continue to get to the bottom of it, but was interrupted by Zhu Gaoxuan, who was sitting opposite.

"Seventh Grandpa, we're here to drink and have fun, as long as we have a girl with us, there's no need to worry about other things, right?"

The Seven Kings also heard the meaning of his words, and nodded with a smile.

"That's right, come on, let's do this first."

After two glasses of wine, Zhu Gaoxuan stood up, excused himself to go to the toilet, and left the front hall.

He walked back down the cloister.

During this time, two servants stopped him, and he sent him away with broken silver.

The backyard environment is much better than the front, the corridor is surrounded, there are rockeries and strange stones, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants are planted, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and it smells very good.

Zhu Gaoxuan looked around and saw a luxurious house not far in front of him.

He suspected that this was where the bustard lived.

To find out what is going on in this green building, it is natural to first check whether the old bustard is really not here.

He went around the cloister and wanted to go there and see what was going on.

But after walking a few steps, he subconsciously stopped.

Because there was a strong smell of blood in the air, he caught a trace of weirdness after a long time on the battlefield.

He searched for the source of the smell, and found a few drops of blood on the cloister, and faint traces of blood could be seen on the ground.

What's going on?

It seems that there is something wrong with this.

Could it be that someone killed someone here, and it was the bustard who was killed?

That's why those girls won't tell the truth.

But if this is the case, they should declare it directly, why deliberately hide it?

Did they kill people?

It seems that this possibility is not impossible.

Because usually this kind of bustard will ruthlessly exploit the girls in the Qinglou, and those girls will naturally protest after holding back for a long time.

Maybe you just missed and killed someone......

Zhu Gaoxuan was annoyed in his heart, and walked quickly to the outside of the house, only to find that the courtyard gate was locked.

He directly took out the dagger he was carrying with him and directly unlocked the door.

The sound of unlocking is not very loud.

But because there are no people in the backyard, it is silent, so it is also exceptionally clear.

When Zhu Gaoxuan opened the door, there was the sound of someone's footsteps behind him, and then the voice of a middle-aged woman sounded.

"Who? Who told you to come here? It's so unbelievable......"

Zhu Gaoxuan had already stepped into the door with one foot, but he had to look back at this time.

Behind her was a middle-aged woman, but because of good maintenance, the charm still exists, but for some reason, the woman's hair bun is a little loose, and there is no makeup, with two dark circles under her eyes, with a somewhat haggard appearance.

She had a fierce look on her face, and her fingers were high.

"I said, guest officer, you are here to have fun with the girls, the girls are all ahead, what are you doing here? Let's go back to the front. ”

It doesn't seem like she wants to make a big deal out of it, either.

Zhu Gaoxuan put the dagger into his sleeve.

"I'm just walking around. As a result, I felt that something was wrong around here, and I saw blood stains on the doorknob, so I wanted to go in and take a look, could someone be injured? ”

His words made the woman instantly lose her face, and she stammered a little when she spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be blood stains here? Someone's rouge must have been stamped on the handle, but this door is supposed to be locked, how did you open it? ”

Zhu Gaoxuan ignored the woman's obstruction at all, and strode in.

"The door wasn't locked when I came, probably because your men forgot about it."

"Where are your bustards? I heard that you have a Yanyun girl here, Tianxiang and the country, why haven't you seen anyone? ”

"I don't think you're dressed like a subordinate, are you Aunt Zhou?"

The woman was very angry and wanted to pull him out directly, but she was stunned because of his words.

Zhu Gaoxuan turned his head at this time and looked at the woman who was already bloodless.

"Why are you all so strange in the Qinglou? You haven't had a murder here, right? Could the dead be the bustard? So why didn't you report it? ”

If at this time, the woman no longer realizes that Zhu Gaoxuan is wrong, it will be too much to say.

Her legs went limp, and she collapsed directly to the ground.

"Who the hell are you?"

Zhu Gaoxuan leaned back on the chair at this time, raised his hand and picked up the inkstone on the table.

There was a hair sticking to the inkstone, and there were blood stains on it that had dried up.

He squinted and sniffed.

"It doesn't matter who I am, and you don't need to rush to know. But I want you to be clear, harboring a suspect is to be arrested, and it doesn't make sense for you, as the manager of this Qinglou, to do such a big thing and not report it to the official. I have the right to suspect you, the murderer. ”

The woman's face was like ashes, and she lowered her head but said nothing.

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't say anything more, put down the inkstone in his hand, and looked around again.

The room was a bit of a mess, with one woman's shoe thrown under the table and the other inside the curtain.

And in the corner, there is also a ceramic fragment.

This is clearly a sign that someone has been fighting.

In fact, there is no suspense.

Footsteps from far and near came from outside, and then two little men came through the door.

Seeing Aunt Zhou paralyzed on the ground, both of them panicked.

"Aunt Zhou, has something happened?"

The woman raised her head with difficulty at this time, but her eyes were looking at Zhu Gaoxuan.

"I wonder who the hell you are?"

Zhu Gaoxuan frowned.

"Why do you have to know who I am? Do you think that if I was just an ordinary guest, I could be killed. And if I'm prominent, you'll tell the truth. ”

The woman smiled astringently.

"Am I wrong for doing this? We are all ordinary people, we just don't want to die, and we are also forced to be helpless. ”
