Chapter XXXVI Search

The next morning, the Shangguan family's mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere from the inside out, and the mansion was full of busy figures, which dazzled people.

Xu Qing stood in the pavilion in the courtyard, looking at those busy figures, not knowing what he was thinking, quite a taste of watching the clouds rolling in the sky.

At this time, Shangguan Changhong hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard, and went straight to Xu Qing with the respectful greetings of his subordinates, and he didn't have time to pay attention to those respectful underground people.

"Cousin, do you know that there were two things that shook the capital last night?" Shangguan Changhong walked up to Xu Qing and said in a low voice.

"Cousin, how did I know what would happen, I don't know anyone in the capital, but I think the robbery of Qin Xian should be counted as one, right?" Xu Qing said with a smile.

"Hehe, Qin Xian's robbery is naturally counted as one thing, as for the other thing, I won't sell it to you, that is, the two cousins of Qin Lu who had some conflicts with us in Cuiting Tower yesterday were found dead in the Qin Mansion today. Shangguan Changhong saw Xu Qing's surprised look, and he knew that this matter had nothing to do with his cousin, to be honest, he once thought that his cousin did it, and he was deeply worried about it, you must know that the Qin family is definitely not simple, even the Shangguan family must be treated carefully.

"This is called evil and evil retribution, cousin, don't look at me like that, what kind of eyes do you have? I don't have a penchant for killing people indiscriminately, although they are a little arrogant, but the crime is not to death, I didn't kill them. Xu Qing said with a smile, his tone was relaxed, he didn't need to care about the death of an insignificant person at all.

"Hehe, now it's all messed up outside, and the Qin Mansion is going around arresting the murderer, but they don't know who the murderer is at all, so anyone with a suspicious identity has to be interrogated, which makes the people's resentment boil!" Shangguan Changhong gloated, he didn't have the slightest good impression of the Qin family.

"Then no one came to the Shangguan Mansion to search, right? Qin Xian is in the Shangguan Mansion, and if he is searched, his uncle will be in big trouble. Xu Qing said with a frown.

"Don't worry, no one has dared to bring someone to my Shangguan's house to search for people!" Shangguan Changhong said confidently, today is his grandfather's birthday, and almost all the ministers of the DPRK and China will come to celebrate his birthday, who dares to come to search today.

I have to say that the Shangguan family has a deep heritage, the old man of the Shangguan family has a big birthday, and almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty come to the Shangguan family to celebrate his birthday, which is lively and lively, looking at those officials who are full of hypocritical and polite words, Xu Qing is speechless. But fortunately, no one knew him, and no one came to be polite to him, otherwise Xu Qing would have to consider whether to slip away first.

The birthday is very luxurious, the Shangguan family has been an official for generations, and the savings are naturally a lot, and the old man of the Shangguan family naturally can't be too shabby, so the birthday is impressive, and all the visitors are amazed.

"Today is my father's birthday, thank you for coming in your busy schedule, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks!" Shangguan Lin said with a smile, Shangguan Lin, who usually has a serious face, has always been smiling warmly today, and the officials naturally echoed one after another, congratulating the old man on his blessings such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan.

At this time, the housekeeper of Shangguan Mansion hurriedly walked up to Shangguan Lin and said something in his ear, Shangguan Lin, who was originally smiling, instantly became gloomy, as if a monstrous anger was about to erupt, making the officials wonder.

Shangguan Lin explained a few words to the officials and then wanted to follow the housekeeper out of the hall, but as soon as he walked to the door of the hall, two middle-aged men had already greeted him with many officials, and the momentum was violent.

"Zhao Fuyin, Qin Shangshu, what do you mean by this?" Shangguan Lin asked angrily, these two people were usually at odds with him, but they didn't expect the two of them to come over today to make trouble.

Although the court officials often oppose each other because of political disagreements, they never do too much, and today the old man of the Shangguan family is on his birthday, Qin Shangshu and Zhao Fuyin are a little excessive.

"It's... Lord Shangguan, a woman who is in slavery today was robbed, someone reported that the woman is now in the Shangguan Mansion, as an official of the imperial court, I eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries, I can only do official business, I do not intend to disturb the birthday of the old man Shangguan, and I hope that Lord Shangguan will understand. Zhao Fuyin glanced at Qin Mingren cautiously, and then said.

"Nonsense, when did my Shangguan family do such a thing? If you don't give me an explanation, I will definitely give you a copy of it!" Shangguan Lin said angrily.

"Hmph, this is to ask your precious nephew, he also met with that woman yesterday, and he must have coveted her beauty, so he snatched it. Yesterday my son had some argument with him, and today he died suddenly, and he must have done the same. I heard that your nephew is a person from the rivers and lakes, and he is really a reckless person and bold. Qin Mingren said gloomily.

"What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime? Do you have evidence?" Shangguan Lin didn't know if Xu Qing did it, but he couldn't let his nephew suffer an injustice, and what if there was no evidence, even if his nephew did it?

"Hmph, if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, if there is no evidence, how dare I come to your mansion to ask for the crime?" Qin Mingren snorted, and then clapped his palms.

At this time, a girl walked in front of everyone, she had never seen such a scene, and her body trembled a little. Shangguan Changhong knew that it was bad when he saw this woman, she was present when he arranged the room for Qin Xian yesterday, but he never thought that she would do this.

"You don't have to be afraid, just say what you see, and the official will make the decision for you!" Qin Mingren said to Yahuan.

"I saw the young master take Qin Xian out of Xu Gongzi's room with my own eyes last night, and I personally arranged the room for Qin Xian. Yahuan took a deep breath, and then said, but her head kept her head down, not daring to look at Shangguan Lin.

"Changhong, can you tell me what's going on?" Shangguan Lin's eyes shuttled through the crowd, looking for Xu Qing's figure, but he found nothing, Xu Qing was not in the hall at all.

"Hmph, did your precious nephew abscond in fear of crime?" Qin Mingren sneered.

"Father, she is completely slandering, I have never seen Qin Xian at all, it must be some ill-intentioned people who instructed her to destroy the reputation of my Shangguan family!" Shangguan Changhong pointed to the girl ring and said, snorted and continued: "As for my cousin, he has already gone back to rest because he is not used to this atmosphere, he is not guilty, why should he abscond in fear of crime?"

"Search for me!" Qin Mingren snorted.

"I'll see who dares!" Shangguan Lin said loudly, and the officials who were going to search everywhere stopped in place, not knowing what to do, neither side could they offend.

"Father, the so-called kissing is self-purifying, and the turbidity is self-turbid, we didn't do it, naturally we are not afraid of them searching, but if we can't find it, should Lord Qin give an explanation to my Shangguan family?" Shangguan Changhong stopped his father and said.

"Hmph, if I can't find it, I will apologize to the Shangguan family!" Qin Mingren said, and then ordered the officials to enter the inner courtyard to search. Shangguan Changhong followed behind and prayed vigorously: Cousin, you have to hide people well!
