From Xi was slightly surprised, stared at Qu Zaichen and said seriously: "But I don't want to beg you, you have your own good and evil right and wrong in your heart, everything is clear in front of you, you do what you want, win or lose in the future, the ups and downs of the curve, you will not regret it, if I beg you to change the decision for our three sisters and brothers, there will be unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory things in the future, don't you want to blame me?" It's better for you to make your decisions and we will do our creation. ”

Qu Zaichen stared at Congxi for a moment, then turned his head to look at Mrs. Qu and said calmly: "Grandmother, I still say the same thing, my wife who is marrying Ming Media is forced to run away to save her life, what face does Zaichen have to survive?" Grandmother don't worry about the affairs of the Song family, I will protect the Congxi, and I will protect the Qu family. ”

Congxi looked at Qu Zaichen and breathed a sigh of relief, and Qu Zaichen was even more depressed when he saw Congxi's expression.

Mrs. Qu looked at Qu Zaichen and said: "Since you have made a decision, I will not stop you, you should be more careful in the future, Congxi is right, the revenge of killing the son and killing the brother is not a small grudge, the Song family will not give up, the Song family and their in-laws, you should pay more attention, lest they do any conspiracy, in Fan, Yunxian, officialdom, it is more convenient for you to understand, if you notice that the Song family and their in-laws have abnormal behavior, inform Zaichen in time." ”

Qu Zaifan said: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will pay more attention, Zaichen, I know that you have always acted thoughtfully, what you need me to do, you can speak at any time." ”

Qu Zaichen nodded: "I know, thank you big brother." ”

Yun Xian stared at Congxi and said: "It seems that you are indeed scared, the weather is cool today, you are sweating, I thought you were just wearing too many clothes, I told you just now, this world is pressing for you, are you as for?" ”

Congxi: "I'm afraid of death, if my grandmother doesn't believe me, my little life can't withstand a few slashes from the Song family, and I'm not a god, so I can't escape life and death." ”

Yun Xian: "It's not that you can't transcend life and death, but you're afraid that you won't be able to protect your younger brother and Miss Lan, right?" You can act according to your own creation, they don't also have their own creation, just do what you want, do your best, why bother with your heart? ”

Congxi: "The truth is easy to understand, but it is easy to talk about other people's things, but it is difficult to do your own things." However, thank you Yun Gongzi for your advice, I will try my best. ”

In the afternoon, from Xi and Lan Chu went to Tianxuefang together, just halfway through, from Xi heard someone call his name, turned his head to look, and found that the name of the person who called himself was Shui Han, who used to be a dancing girl in Tianxuefang, two years ago was redeemed by the shopkeeper of a tea shop, married the shopkeeper as his wife, from Xi remembered that Shui Han's husband seemed to be named Sun Meng, Shui Han's face was sad, his clothes were plain, and there was almost no ornament on his body, and he saw Shui Han and said with a smile: "Sister Shui, I haven't seen you for a while, Sister Shui is okay?" ”

Shui Han's face was a little hidden, his eyes were helpless and anxious, and he looked at Congxi and hesitated: "No. Not particularly good from Xi to me. I want to ask you something, can you help me? ”

Congxi was puzzled: "What's the matter, Sister Shui, you say, I will do my best to help you?" ”

Shui Han said: "My tea shop is not far from the next street, and there are no people in the store now, shall we go to the store and say okay?" ”

Congxi nodded, and Lan Chu walked to the next street with Shui Han, and the three of them came to Shui Han's tea shop together, and looked around from Xi, the store was not big, there were only seven or eight tables, the tables and stools looked a little old, and there were really no customers in the store, Shui Han led from Xi and Lan Chu to a square table in the middle and said, "You do it first, I'll make tea." ”

Congxi nodded, Shui Han turned around and walked away quickly.

Congxi and Lan Chu sat down at the square table, and Congxi casually picked up the recipes on the table and glanced at them, which were basically small dishes of more than ten yuan, and the wine was also bad wine. After a while, Shui Han returned with a tray, a wine pot and three tea cups on it, Shui Han put the tea cup on the table, and said while pouring tea: "There is no good tea in the store, you will quench your thirst, right?" ”

Congxi smiled and said: "When did Sister Water become so polite, Sister Water gave me a lot of tea before, have I ever disliked tea?" ”

Shui Han smiled reluctantly and said: "Today is different from the past, you are already the second young lady of Qufu, naturally you are one step rich, and you will not use those coarse leaves and inferior tea before, right?" ”

Congxi smiled: "Even if I climb high and forget my roots, but I have been married to Qufu for two months, and my habits have not changed so quickly, Sister Shui, I am ungrateful and light before I am unbearable to powerful, don't be restrained and don't be polite, you just said that you have something to find me?" ”

Shui Han's expression turned gloomy, it seemed that it was difficult to speak, he took a sip of tea slowly, hesitating how to speak, Shui Han saw Congxi and Lan Chu staring at him and said: "Look at me, the guests haven't drunk tea yet, I drank it myself, and you also drink tea." ”

Congxi knew what Shui Han said, and it should be difficult for her to speak, so he used tea to relieve her panic. I was afraid that Shui Han really misunderstood that she disliked the poor tea, so she took two sips of the teacup and said: "This tea is good, not worse than that of Qufu, in order to entertain us, Sister Shui found out the tea leaves at the bottom of the pressure box, right?" ”

Lan Chu heard Congxi's praise, and also picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Shui Han smiled slightly, his face softened, and then he took a deep breath, as if he had used all his strength, before he spoke: "Congxi, I do have an urgent matter to ask you for help today, according to our relationship, it may be a bit excessive, but I really..."

Shui Han's body shook for a moment, and then he fell on the table and fainted.

Congxi, Lan Chu was shocked and changed color, and hurriedly got up to inspect, Congxi just stood up, and also felt a dizziness in his head, and fell to the side, Lan Chu was busy supporting Congxi, but he also felt a dizziness, and his body was suddenly weak, and he fell to the ground with his arms.

Qufu Youyun Garden, Luo Yi knocked on the door and walked into Qu Zaichen's study, Qu Zaichen was sitting at the desk, Luo Yi put the two scrolls on the desk, looked at Qu Zaichen and said: "Childe, this is Song Gaoyuan's autopsy list, it is clearly written that Song Gaoyuan was stabbed in a total of eighteen knives, and the wounds were of different depths, nine of which were stabbed in the chest, and the eighteen wounds were made by the same sharp weapon, and the size of the wound should be a dagger, this Miao Juanniang is ruthless enough." ”

Qu Zaichen picked up the autopsy grid and looked at it, and then thought for a while: "What about the clothes?" ”

Luo Yi: "According to our investigation, the night Miao Juanniang killed Song Gaoyuan, the clothes worn by the Song family were not worn again on the second day, and I didn't see the laundry lady washing the clothes for them that night, I took advantage of the Song family's unpreparedness, sneaked into Song Gaozhong and Song Gaoqing's room to check, and didn't look for the clothes they wore that night, if it wasn't that night I saw it wrong, or they disposed of the clothes, by the way, there were ashes left in the charcoal basin in their room, and the clothes may have been burned by them, maybe they felt that the clothes were stained with Song Gaoyuan's blood, and it was not good to wear them again, So burned, that's normal, right? ”

Qu Zaichen: "Do you have any other news?" ”

Luo Yi: "The people who followed Feng Qian sent back the news, saying that Feng Qian did go all the way to the east, and it was indeed like returning to the capital, in addition, the Song family discussed that on the night that Miao Juanniang assassinated Song Gaoyuan, Song Gaoqiu and Feng Qian had a quarrel, and Song Gaoqiu was angry and separated from Feng Qian, and Feng Qian was angry and left the Song Mansion overnight. ”

Qu Zaichen pondered: "This news should be deliberately released by the Song family, explaining to outsiders the reason why Feng Qian left the Song Mansion overnight and returned to Beijing. ”

Luo Yi: "Didn't Gongzi know Feng Qian, or can we directly ask him why he left the Song family in a hurry?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "I only know him, I don't know each other, even if he and Song Gaoqiu have been separated and the Song family has not fallen, he will not casually tell the secrets of the Song family." I don't need to ask him, I can probably guess the reason why Feng Qian broke off the relationship with the Song family, or let the Song family die down from now on and no longer be embarrassed. By the way, where is Miao Juanniang's body now, do you want to confirm one more thing? ”

Luo Yi: "Miao Juanniang has no relatives, the Song family said that they finally have some relationship with Miao Juanniang, so the Song family sent someone to bury her, and the son asked me to confirm what?" ”

Qu Zaichen was just about to speak, a few hurried knocks sounded, Luo Yi turned around to open the door, and saw the porter Uncle Sun and Jiang Dairou standing outside the door, their faces were anxious, Uncle Sun saw Luo Yi and said: "Luo Yi Gongzi, is the second son here, this Jiang girl said that the second young lady had an accident, let's hurry up and rescue?" ”

Luo Yi was surprised for a moment, and hurriedly led Uncle Sun and Jiang Dairou into the study, Qu Zaichen heard Uncle Sun's words, stood up and walked around the desk, walked over quickly, and looked directly at Jiang Dairou and said: "Miss Jiang, where did the accident happen from Xi, Tianxuefang?" What happened to her? ”

Qu Zaichen knew that Jiang Dairou was the concubine of the Chen Governor of Jinzhou, and after the Chen Governor was detained by the Criminal Department, Jiang Dairou returned to Tianxuefang and made a living from singing and dancing. Last time they used tricks to force Governor Chen to confess the crime, Qu Zaichen saw Jiang Dairou once, so Qu Zaichen thought that Congxi had an accident in Tianxuefang, so Jiang Dairou rushed to Qu's house to report the news.

Although Jiang Dairou also saw Qu Zaichen last time, it was at night, and he didn't take a closer look at Qu Zaichen's face, and last time, Jiang Dairou was still sad about the matter of Chen Zhifu, and he didn't pay much attention to Qu Zaichen. ’

Uncle Sun was stunned when he saw Jiang Dairou staring at Qu Zaichen, and hurriedly said loudly: "Miss Jiang, my second son is waiting for the girl to reply, what happened to my second young lady?" ”

Jiang Dairou came back to her senses, suddenly felt rude, and said with a shy face: "Oh, I'm sorry, Dairou was rude." Be. That's the case, there used to be a dancing girl named Shui Han in Tianxuefang, who married a wife two years ago, and she came to me a few days ago, saying that her husband owed a lot of money for gambling and asked me to borrow money, and I didn't have so much money to lend her, and she left gloomily. Today I was a little worried about Shui Han, so I went to visit her in the Sun Family Tea Shop on Xiaoqian Street, who knew that I had just walked near the Sun Family Tea Shop, and saw a carriage parked in front of the store, and a burly man carried Shui Han out of the store, put Shui Han on the carriage, and Shui Han looked unconscious. I was surprised to see another tall and thin man carrying Congxi out of the shop, and then put Congxi in the carriage, Congxi also looked unconscious, the burly man returned to the store, and a moment later, he came out with an unconscious girl, if I remember correctly, the girl behind was Miss Lan from Xi's side. And that thin and tall man I have seen in Tianxuefang, he should be the person in charge of debt collection in Jiufang Casino, those two men should go to the Sun family tea shop to collect debts from Shui Han's husband Sun Meng, if the gamblers do not pay the gambling debts, they will force the gamblers to sell their wives and daughters, and even forcibly take away the gamblers' wives and daughters and sell them themselves. Sun Meng can't pay off the gambling debts, they take away the water cold is understandable, I don't know why they will take away from Xi also, I heard that the thin man is very, before they sell the gambler's wife and daughter, they will play a humiliation first, I am worried that something will happen to them, and I hurried over to inform you. ”

Qu Zaichen asked anxiously: "Miss Jiang, do you know where they are most likely to take Congxi?" ”

Jiang Dairou: "It seems that I will first bring them back to their own gambling house, let them choose it again, and then decide who to sell." ”

Qu Zaichen looked at Uncle Sun: "Prepare three fast horses immediately." Luo Yi, go and call Yun Xian. ”

Uncle Sun and Luo Yi immediately left quickly, Qu Zaichen looked at Jiang Daiju and said, "Thank you Miss Jiang for reporting the news, in the future, Miss Jiang will be useful in the dust, and she will try her best to help in the dust." ”

Jiang Daiju said: "The second son is polite, Congxi is my friend, it is right to help her, last time Congxi helped me so much, and I thanked her." ”

Qu Zaichen nodded: "If Miss Jiang is concerned, she can wait for news in Qu Mansion." ”

Before the words fell, the person had walked out quickly.
