Chapter 667 Late (Happy New Year everyone)

Zhuang Rou asked Qin Qiu to guard the gate, but she walked to the entrance of the alley, trying to bring a passerby over to the yamen to report the case.

Suddenly, at the entrance of a brightly lit brothel in front of me, the young man who was leading the way was being pulled by two gorgeous women, trying to recruit him in.

"Brother, you have been watching at the door for a long time, and then come in and sit down." The women laughed.

"No, I just had stones in my shoes, so I stopped for a while." The boy quickly explained. He did hesitate for a while, so he stopped at the entrance of the brothel. But thinking that the money was hard-earned, and that little money was gone after entering this gold-selling nest.

He resisted the desire in his heart and was about to leave, but he was discovered by these sharp-eyed girls.

When the women heard his explanation, they even giggled, "Young man is really heartless but not brave. Let me help you."

"No, I really want to leave. There is still something to do at home. Good sisters, let me go." The boy smiled bitterly.

Just as he was saying good things to the brothel women and asking them to let him go quickly, a voice came from behind, "So you are still here, just in time, I have something to ask you to do."

The women in the brothel stopped and looked at the person who came together. If the girl in the next building came to grab the business, she would have to deal with her well.

The boy also turned his head and saw that it was Zhuang Rou. He quickly shook off the hands that were holding him, bowed and said, "Neighbor, I wonder what else can I do to get a villain?"

Seeing that the person coming was not a girl, the young man gave another big gift. The women in the brothel quickly took two steps back and looked at Zhuang Rou, who was wearing men's clothing, thinking that she was a man from the martial arts world.

Zhuang Rou didn't look at the brothel women, but just said to the boy: "Brother, please go to the yamen and tell them that there was a murder case in Qushuangxiang, and all the people in the house were killed. After leading them over, I will give you ten taels of silver."

"Ah?" The boy looked up at her in amazement, "Murder!"

"Yes, all the people in the house are dead. Please run away." Zhuang Rou was speechless. Why was she so unlucky? She still encountered such a thing when she was in the house. She was afraid she couldn't sleep tonight.

The boy then realized, and opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Is the noble man talking about that house?"

He never expected that a murder occurred in the place he had just been to. The originally quiet alley of Naqushuang Lane suddenly became terrifying, making him stand upright.

Zhuang Rou nodded, "Yes, go quickly, I'll wait at the door."

"Go right now!" The boy quickly ran towards the direction where the yamen was.

Seeing him running to report to the official, Zhuang Rou was about to go back when she suddenly found the brothel women staring at her with curious and excited eyes, as if she wanted to inquire about new things.

She said, "If you want to see, you can come to Qushuang Lane to see. Everyone's heads were cut down and hung at the gate like lanterns. The eyes were dug out and thrown away. A red candle was placed in the sockets as lanterns. It was so scary."

"Ah!" When the brothel women heard this, they screamed in fear and ran back to the brothel. How dare they see such a terrible thing?

She was scared away when she saw everyone, so she turned back to Qushuang Lane.

"Oh, I also said that after entering the house, I would ask the servants to prepare hot water to take a shower, and then cook some late-night snacks such as ginseng and chicken soup to eat." Zhuang Rou sat in the carriage and said a little aggrievedly.

Qin Qiu was no longer surprised. After causing trouble, things would only come one after another like a tide, and the waves were higher and higher.

It’s just that I eat ginseng chicken soup in the middle of the night. What kind of play is this singing?

He looked at Zhuang Rou sitting in the carriage with her knees hugging her knees, and he couldn't help but want to despise her. He was obviously a murderous madman, but he still had to pretend to be cute when he was ordinary.

"Why do you want to drink ginseng chicken soup at night? If you can't sleep at night, people with weak and kidney deficiency will drink it to shake the vigor. I think you have enough yang energy, so you may have to grow a beard if you drink it again." Qin Qiu said.

Zhuang Rou was stunned and looked up at him in surprise. If she remembered correctly, she had seen Chu Xia drink this kind of soup, and she had snatched it to drink it herself.

She blinked her eyes a few times and asked uncertainly: "Did no one drink it except kidney deficiency?"

"..." Qin Qiu didn't know why she looked guilty. She couldn't have robbed other people's ginseng chicken soup all day before.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Yes, yes, it should be used by those exhausted people to replenish qi. But for those who don't use their brains, they can only replenish their beards."

After hearing his words, Zhuang Rou sighed relaxed, "That's good. I thought the little prince was in his early twenties and had kidney deficiency. It's right to think about it. He was full of conspiracies and tricks all day long, so he naturally had to make up for it."

It turned out that the little lover who was worried about her was really not ashamed at all. He was only worried about this before he got married.

Qin Qiu was afraid that she would extend this problem to herself, so he quickly changed the topic, "Who do you think did it, Nangong?"

"I don't know, but the Nangong family can't escape this. I didn't even enter the gate, and the people inside were killed. You said it seemed that they were killed last night. At that time, the house deed and the body sale deed were still in the Nangong family, so the deceased could not be considered my people, but theirs." Zhuang Rou thought for a while and said.

"If it weren't for me, but someone else, this matter would probably be escaped by the Nangong family, and it would be able to turn big things into small things until it was small things. But now it's up to me, they have to turn things into something if they don't want to come forward."

"You wish this matter had something to do with the Nangong family." Qin Qiu saw through her thoughts at a glance.

Zhuang Rou laughed twice, "No, this is not the case, I want to relax for a few days."

Qin Qiu gave her a blank look and said, "If you believe you, you will have a ghost."

The two were sitting in the carriage chatting. The government officials did not wait, but saw a few sneaky people at the entrance of the alley. They looked around for a while and then walked over.

Judging from their dress, they seemed to be friends from the surrounding shops. When they approached, they leaned their heads to look at the gate, with a painful and nervous expression. They squinted their eyes and plucked their courage to look at it. They saw that there were lanterns hanging at the gate instead of human heads, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuang Rou was really convinced by these people, and she even came to watch the fun. She suddenly said, "Why, is the murderer coming back to check the scene?"

The people were startled by her and quickly waved their hands and said, "No, we just heard from a few sisters that there was a murder here, and everyone was a neighbor, so we came to take a look."

"If you are not the one you killed, just take a step aside, otherwise you will be arrested and punished if you find your footprints. Zhuang Rou reminded that it is not her nonsense, but that this is very likely to happen.

When the few people heard this, they quickly stepped back and leaned against the wall opposite, looked at the vermilion gate of the house in front, and swallowed, "Are you two from this family? What happened inside?"

Zhuang Rou looked at them and asked, "Who are you? Which shop's guys, I like to join in the fun."

"The villain is from Lichunyuan. The guest heard that a murder occurred here, so he insisted that the villain come and inquire about it." One person said.

The other person was the pavilion in the teahouse next door. He also came to inquire about the news, but not because the customers wanted to hear it, but because their boss wanted to know it, which would add fresh topics to the storytellers in the store.

The remaining two people said, "We are Huayan Building separated by a wall. Someone just found out that someone in the house seemed to be lying in the yard and did not move for a long time, so the boss sent us to see if something happened."

"Huayan Tower? You are next door." Zhuang Rou was stunned. Isn't that the branch of Jile Sect in Laixiang City?

"Yes, my boss had seen the house empty for a long time, and only servants were inside and out. He felt it was too wasteful. He was about to talk to the owner of the house and bought the house, but unexpectedly this happened." The two men said a pity.

If a murder occurs inside, it will be unlucky. Even if you buy it and re-treat it, who will dare to come after hearing it?

Zhuang Rou smiled at them, "This house has been my place since this afternoon. If your boss wants to buy it, you can come to me directly to talk to me."

"But you see, this house will not be able to live in a short time. Why don't you go back and talk to your boss and let me live in your Huayan Building. Don't worry, I will pay for the room and the meal." She said seriously.

The two were stunned. Their Huayan Tower was a brothel. Is it bad for a woman to move in?

Zhuang Rou looked back at the house with regret, "I dare not live in the house anymore, so I can only sell it."

"Please wait for a while. The villain cannot make the decision on this matter. The villain will go back and report to the boss immediately." When the friend of Hua Yanlou heard that she was interested in selling a house, he quickly said.

"Okay." Zhuang Rou nodded, and the two buddies quickly walked out of the alley.

Although there is a back door in the alley, it has been locked for many years. Without the consent of the Nangong family, they would not dare to use the back door to enter and exit.

The other two families did not leave, squatting in the corner waiting for the government to come, and only after inquiring about the matter was clear before going back to hand in the work.

Zhuang Rou didn't drive them away, but she waited for a long time and no one from the government came. This was a murder case. She didn't believe that the local officials dared not to come to handle the case!

When she was angry and couldn't help but want to find the government to smash them, a group of people wearing official uniforms finally appeared at the entrance of the alley.

The boy who went to report the case ran over first, looking aggrieved, "Neither, villain went to report to the official, but it was too late. I waited for a long time before someone came."

"I understand. This is the reward for you. Let's go back and rest first." Zhuang Rou took out ten taels of silver for him. If an official does not want to work, such a young man would be lucky if he didn't eat the bill.

The boy took the money and thanked him and left quickly. He didn't want to have anything to do with the government anymore.

The official who came was wearing a divine uniform with a look of displeasure. When he arrived at the door, he shouted at Zhuang Rou: "Who reported the case? Where is the dead body?"

Zhuang Rou looked at him and said coldly: "I reported the case. My official is the prince-in-law Zhuang Rou. He has just arrived in Laixiang City today. Someone gave this house to me in the afternoon. When I came here in the evening, I found that someone died inside."

"..." Dian Shi looked at her blankly. After finally finding who Zhuang Rou was in his mind, he suddenly felt weak and leaned against the yamen runner next to him. The yamen runner was so scared that he quickly supported him.

Dian Shi came to his senses and held the yamen runner next to him and hurriedly said, "I don't know that Lord Zhuang is here and I have missed the opportunity to welcome you. Please include it more!"

Zhuang Rou gave him a big eye, "I said, you officials, why are you looking for death all day long? Work for me quickly!"
