Chu Xuehai's matter, the key is the traders.Because of the discovery of the red dot on the back of his head, he knew that he had been hit by rouge ink, and he relied on a trader to prove the real murderer.Whoever goes to the chicken and sheep dealers every day to buy fresh chicken gold and black sheep armor is the murderer.If Wu Yiyi was also killed by Rouge Mo, then during the medication, these two drugs must also be used, so the key is these two witnesses.Even they guessed it, and the emperor and Princess Peace and others naturally guessed it.So someone will definitely be sent over and threaten those two witnesses.Chu Yunpan went out this time, just to get rid of those two.Chu Yunpan took Yu Han and Yu Yang out of Chu's house and got into a pony carriage, Chu Yunpan said, "Where is it?"
”"Black Hu Alley in the west of the city."
Yu Yang, who was driving outside, said, and with a gentle flick of the reins, the carriage drove out.The weather was not good on both days, and the clouds in the sky were dark and dull, both day and night, obscuring the moon.The small carriage walked down the street, looking lonely, only the wind lamp on the side was clearly extinguished in the wind.The car had been walking for a good three quarters of an hour before finally stopping.This is the most impoverished west of the capital, this piece of courtyard is small and broken, because of poverty, in order to save lamp oil, the lights are out early and go to sleep.Naturally, this is not Black Hu Alley, but an alley not far from Black Hu Alley.Chu Yun climbed out of the car, went out of this area with Yu Yang, and quietly came to Heihu Alley, far away, I saw that the rows of small courtyards were all unlit, but only the small courtyard in the middle was still lit.Chu Yunpan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was here.With a hook of his lips, he jumped up to the wall in three or two clicks, and gently stepped on the tiled roof with the lights on, and there was already a person lying on his stomach in the room where the lights were on."
Is it all here?"
Chu Yunpan said in a low voice."
Hmm."
The man turned around, but it was Chu Feiyang.Chu Yunpan squinted, and also lay down, and the two moved away a tile, only to see that it was the hall of this courtyard, with a table of eight immortals in the middle, and three men were sitting around it.In the middle is an old man in gray in his sixties, and two men in coarse cloth clothes in their forties, one thin and one fat, on both sides.The fat man stared at his eyes: "The two uncles and the eldest brother, are you also ......" glanced at the two timidly.The old man and the thin man looked at each other and nodded.The fat man didn't know if they were the same as himself, but in the evening, two mysterious men suddenly came, caught him alive, and brought him to this courtyard.Then came the old man and the thin man.The fat man said: "I am a chicken seller in the city." ”The thin man said, "I am a sheep seller." ”The old man nodded: "I, I am ...... too" The three of them glanced at each other, and then their faces changed.They are the people who live at the bottom, and they are either doing small business on weekdays, or eating and drinking with their neighbors, and who doesn't talk about the strange things in the capital.They don't know how many times they have talked about the Lord of Gülen.Yesterday, there was big news, saying that her maid poisoned the little son of the Chu family, using a strange poison that even the doctor didn't understand, and was finally diagnosed by chance.But the conviction relied on the conclusive confessions of the two chicken and sheep sellers, and finally found the poison from the maid's house, disguised as makeup powder.At that time, many vendors were called into the house, and when these people returned, they spread it as a special experience.But when they heard this, their faces changed.Because they remembered that before this, there was also such a beautiful maid who came to look for chicken gold or black sheep armor.Before they could react, early this morning, Mrs.
Wu went to make trouble.On weekdays, they don't talk much about this, but where did they think that today's legendary anecdotes actually involve them.The fat man squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Needless to say, it must be the county lord who murdered his husband, hehe......"
"Shhhh ”The thin man hurriedly put his middle finger on his lips, and the old man was also frightened and changed his face: "Don't say it again." ”That's the county lord!
Moreover, they have been brought here, it must be ......
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the three people in the room were startled, and then there was a "squeak", the door was opened, and a majestic old man in his sixties walked in.The old man is holding a whisk, his face is white and beardless, quite feminine, and he knows that he is not an idle person by looking at his clothes and bearing.He was followed by a little eunuch, looking at them and shouting: "When you see Gonggong Cai, don't you kowtow quickly." ”The three words "Gonggong Cai" exploded in their ears, living in the capital, these three words were like thunder.Gonggong Cai is a first-class celebrity around the emperor!"
Ah......"
The three of them trembled, their bodies were weak in fright, and they knelt down with a plop, the old man was the oldest, and he was naturally bolder: "See ......
See Father-in-law......
Father-in-law Chitose. ”The remaining two were so frightened that they couldn't even make a sound.Their sincere and frightened reaction made Cai Jie very satisfied, and he gently shook off the dust and stepped forward: "The miscellaneous family came here today, can you guess what happened?"
”The three of them were trembling, they were people who showed up to do business, they were all shrewd, and they knew the reason when they guessed, but the three of them were so shocked that they didn't dare to make a sound, if they said it wrong, what should they do if they kill their heads?
Cai Jie snorted lightly: "Did you hear about the little son of the Chu family yesterday?"
Have you heard of Mrs.
Wu's trouble with the Chu family today?
”The three of them had pale faces, only nodded tremblingly, and the gray-clothed old man said, "Yes." ”"Good."
Cai Jie's eyelids raised slightly, looking down at them, "But ah, the emperor believes in the county lord and thinks that the county lord can't produce such a vicious maid, don't you say?"
”The word "emperor" frightened the three of them, where did they dare to deny it, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes......"
Cai Jie nodded and sighed: "The county lord grew up under the watchful eyes of the miscellaneous family, so gentle and kind, this is something that everyone knows."
Among the grandchildren, the emperor also loves the county lord the most, if anyone dares to wronged the county lord, the emperor will definitely kill that person's head. ”The three of them trembled physically and mentally with fright, and nodded like pounded garlic.Cai Jie lowered his head to look at their reactions, but was amused: "So, half a month ago, someone asked you to buy some messy things for a long time?"
”"Nope!
No!
”The three of them shook their heads desperately.Speaking of which, even fools know the purpose of Cai Jie's trip - that is, to get them to give false testimony on behalf of the Lord of Gülen.As the most critical witnesses in this case, they will definitely be summoned to court, as long as they deny that Bang Xin has bought chicken gold and black sheep armor, then Bang Xin is innocent, and the Lord of Gülen can also save his reputation.Cai Jie knew that the three of them didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he smiled: "Sure enough, they are all honest people, and the emperor is very happy to have people like you."
Rest here tonight, and you will go to church early tomorrow morning, and then someone will come to pick you up. ”"Yes......"
The three of them shuddered.Cai Jie turned to leave, and the three of them were so frightened that they suddenly collapsed to the ground.After a long while, they came back to their senses, and the thin man said with a pale face, "I know that's the case." ”The old man in gray nodded: "Let's be honest, just don't talk nonsense." ”They are all ordinary people, how dare they fight with the imperial power.Then the door creaked again, and it was pushed open, and the three of them got up again with a grunt, and were about to kneel upright.No, but it was a young man in coarse cloth who came in, holding a few quilts in his hands, and threw them on: "You guys are here tonight to make do with it." ”I took out another food box, opened it, and saw a box of delicate flower-shaped snacks in it, as well as three chicken legs and a pot of wine, put it on the table, and said: "This is what my father-in-law has surprised you. ”After saying that, he turned around and went out, and with a "bang", the carved wooden door was thrown shut.The three of them were frightened, where did they still have an appetite, but the snacks on the table were fragrant, and they were made in the shape of very delicate roses, they were all rough people, how could they have ever seen such exquisiteness.And there was wine on the table, and the three of them were really scared enough, so they all walked over and ate and drank something to be shocked.The thin man poured the wine, but the fat man picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's delicious!"
Delicious!
”The old man in gray took the chicken legs, but stuffed the snacks into his pocket, ready to keep them for his grandson.After the three of them finished eating and drinking, they spread their bunks on the ground and slept next to their kimonos.The three of them slept in a daze, and they didn't know what time it was, when suddenly a spirit was stirring, and the fat man actually woke up.It's dark, and although there is no moonlight tonight, there are courtyard lights outside the yard, so I can see something vaguely.There was a whining wind outside, and the fat man's face changed, could it be- he didn't dare to think about it, he only closed his eyes tightly, and hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover himself, but the quilt was too short, and he showed his feet when he pulled his face.There was a "pop", and suddenly there was a sound outside.The fat man opened his eyes, only to see a white ghost figure with loose hair standing at the outer door, with one hand patted on the carved pane, looking at him with dead fish eyes."
Whew-" The fat man's eyes widened, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore, and screamed, "Here it is again!"
Not again!
Ghosts!
Ghosts!
Oh my God—" The fat man howled, and the thin man and the old man couldn't hold it back, their eyes widened, and when they saw the ghost figure outside, their faces turned blue with fright: "Ahhh"My mother-" The fat man snorted and cried.But the room was small, surrounded by walls, and there was nowhere to hide, "Don't come here—" The thin man and the old man were so frightened that they pushed the fat man out and shrank behind him.The fat man has the heart to die, this ghost, it's not the first time he's seen it, just seven or eight days ago, he looked for him every night.Hell, he was about to pee, these two people were even more immoral than him, pushing him in front, and the two shrank behind him!
Although he is fat enough to stand in the way of the two of them......
But you shouldn't bully fat people like this!
