The son is responsible

Chapter 23 Chapter 23

The entrance of the Qin family wine shop was full of people, because Jiang Yong, the owner of Xiyuelou, came to marry Miss Qin early in the morning. The old man Qin was so happy that he had someone write a sign and hang it on the eye-catching pointing out that today's drinks are free of money, and those who come to congratulate People have a share.When the guests saw this brand, some were curious, some were greedy for cheap, and some happened to ask someone to drink, and they stayed for a few more drinks after seeing the sign.For a while, the entrance of the wine shop was full of people.

Xue Muji let his secret guard occupy the table early, his small body squeezed in, and dragged his brother in by the way.

"Young master, are you here to drink?" Xue Muji turned his face, and the woman handed the teapot to the table. She had a good figure, her face was covered by a light veil, and she must have been Miss Qin.

"I don't want tea, I want wine." Xue Muji has never drunk since he was reborn, the Xue family treats him as a child, one headache after another, he has no time to enjoy Pingjiang fine wine.He is in a particularly good mood today, but his spirit is particularly bad. The reason is that his brother next to him said a word last night.

"I never blamed you."

Then he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.

Fortunately, there is wine to refresh myself.

Sure enough, Miss Qin said, "What do little children do drinking? What about your adults?"

Xue Muji yawned, "I'll be here later."

He looked left and right for Mo Zikang, wondering why this person woke up later than him.

A drinker who was acquainted with Miss Qin's family next to him asked, "The little boss is finally getting married?"

"You might as well make a gamble and block me this time, can you marry me?" Xue Muji heard a faint sense of loss behind the tulle on Miss Qin's face. He still understood women's thoughts better in his previous life. Yes, this Miss Qin definitely has someone in her heart, and she is not at all interested in the marriage proposal of Xiyuelou.

When Miss Qin left, Xue Muji was laying on the table to sleep for a while, but Mo Zikang unexpectedly crawled out from under the table.

"When did you come?" Xue Muji lifted the tablecloth to look, and there was nothing underneath.

"I've been here a long time ago. You're not here. I don't dare to see those members of the Qin family, so I hid and waited for you." Mo Zikang turned his back to the door, "When I came, I heard that the scar on Miss Qin's face He was caught by a ghost. It was said that there was something ominous attached to his body, which sucked human blood, and was designed to subdue the male body. That guy Jiang Yong also heard it, and I don’t know where he ran away in fright, and he hasn’t seen anyone yet.”

There was no such groundless talk before yesterday. It seems that Ms. Qin really does not want to get married. Knowing that the boss of Xiyuelou believes in ghosts and gods, she deliberately released such a statement.

Xue Muji smiled faintly, seeing that there was a real gamble on the table next to him, and there were still more people betting on the side that could get married.He snapped his fingers, and the silver ingot must have suddenly appeared at the corner of the table, and the other two people beside the table were no strangers to it.

"Brother, which side do you want to bet on?" Xue Muji pushed the money over, meaning that Xue Huaijiu would decide, Xue Huaijiu naturally refused to accept it, Xue Muji had already thought about it.He held his head and explained, "I gave you a lot of things, so you can give me one too. It will be my birthday in a few days, so remember to give me a gift. I know you have no money now, but money It is earned, there are many ways to make money, and there is one in front of you."

He pointed to the gambling table next to him, "If you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine."

Mo Zikang said, "I want to play too. I bet that Ms. Qin can get married. Marriage is a major event, and the orders of parents must not be violated. The old man Qin yelled so loudly that no one didn't know that Boss Jiang came to propose marriage. If he regrets, Where do you put your face?"

You said such righteous words, didn't you kowtow and hang yourself against the orders of your parents and insisted not to marry Princess Sulian?

Xue Mu was very funny and said, "Brother, what do you think?"

Mo Zikang took out two ingots and threw them on Cheng's side, Xue Huaijiu put the silver on the other side.

Sure enough, he is the future Minister of Dali Temple, who has amazing judgment ability at a young age.It is surprisingly consistent with him, and does not go with the common people in the world.Miss Qin is a very thoughtful woman, he didn't believe that Miss Qin would ignore those worldly etiquettes and marry himself to a strange man in a muddleheaded way.

Hearing the noise at the door, no one cared at the beginning of the period because there were so many voices, but someone hurriedly shouted, "Old man Qin, the people from the yamen are here and say they are looking for you."

A path was opened in front of the restaurant, and three people came, wearing the official uniforms of Pingjiang Yamen.

Xue Muji admired Ms. Qin even more. Not only did she bribe individual customers, but she spread rumors that she was haunted by ghosts and spirits, and even called the government yamen to destroy the marriage.

The leading yamen official looked serious. He didn't understand why there were so many people in the restaurant. He came to ask about the case.Just now outside the door, many people thought he was here for a drink and shouted to line up. He had to show his official papers to come in.

He asked Boss Qin, "Is the old house at the end corner of Anyang Lane owned by your family?"

Boss Qin quickly replied, "Yes, that's the oldest wine cellar in my house, and it hasn't been idle for a long time. What's the matter?"

"There is a dry well in that house, and there is a pair of bones under the dry well. Boss Qin, you need to go to the Yamen with me. This matter has alarmed the Pingjiang Hou Mansion. I'm afraid you will have to explain it."

The old man Qin was surprised for a moment, but he didn't ask any other questions. He gave some instructions to the waiter next to him, and prepared to go out with the official.

The guests present were discussing a lot, although the visitor only briefly mentioned it, but the seriousness alarmed the dignitaries and officials.

Xue Muji suddenly realized that he was in the dry well that day, and the thing that separated him from the pain was a bone.No wonder, Ye Anwei covered his eyes to prevent him from seeing.

In the past few days, his father left early and returned late, and visited Pingjiang Yamen every day, probably for this matter.

Pingjiang is rich and prosperous, and there is an inexplicably extra skeleton, so everyone is naturally curious.Xue Muji carefully recalled that time, it was indeed a dry well, the yard was desolate, no one lived in it for many years, and the bones in the well were most likely abandoned by people.Pingjiang's family is rich, so there is no possibility that they can't afford the coffin and throw it in a pit. Besides, if someone is missing, they will definitely report to the police to find them. Therefore, he judged that the owner of this bone should not be a native of Pingjiang. .

Mo Zikang heard it too, but he was thinking differently from ordinary people. He tugged on Xue Muji's sleeve, "Could it be that lunatic who looks like General Yue? What is that man going to do to Miss Qin when he's crazy? Miss Qin fought and killed him?"

Although it was quite bizarre, but Xue Muji thought about it, what Mo Zikang said really made sense.If he was right, the Pingjiang Marquis's crime would be serious. Although the two countries do not fight, generals like generals are still the key protection objects of all countries.

"Let's go and have a look, don't we know?"

"No, there are elder brothers in the Pingjiang Yamen, and they recognize me." Mo Zikang was afraid of their secret work in Xiliang.

Xue Muji had forgotten that this person came here secretly.He snapped his fingers, and Fufeng Fuyun came out from under the table.

Xue Muji is really strange, just now when he lifted the tablecloth, it was clear that no one was there, when did these two hidden guards sneak in?

The two hidden guards naturally knew what the master wanted to ask, and they also listened to the brother who followed the master to check the bones.

"The news from Pingjiang Yali said that the owner of the bones died 14 years ago. He was 20 years old when he died. The cause of death was fighting with others many times. In the end, his chest and lungs were pierced by a sharp weapon. He was seriously injured and died of blood. "

At 20 years old, counting from the time of death, he is definitely not General Yue.Xue Muji heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered, "Follow Old Man Qin and see what else he has to say."

At this time, Miss Qin said, "Father, what's the matter?"

The old man Qin sighed, and said, "It's okay, my daughter, just take care of the house and entertain me. I'll follow the official mission and I'll be back."

Miss Qin looked at the official's outfit, worried, and asked, "Master, my father is old and his legs and feet are not flexible. What happened? Can I go to the Yamen with you?"

The old man Qin poked the ground with his cane, and refused to say, "You don't know about this matter, and you can't tell why. I'll go back as soon as I go, and pretend it's okay." After speaking, the old man Qin felt tight in his chest, probably because his daughter The good news of finally being able to get married was so exciting, the roots of his old illnesses broke out, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Miss Qin supported the old man Qin, "Father, you tell me the matter, I'll go to the government office, how can you make my daughter feel at ease?"

Old man Qin thinks about it, no matter what, he will have to tell his daughter about this matter eventually.He talked about the old things more than ten years ago.At that time, his wife was still alive and went back to her natal home with her daughter, leaving him at home alone.Early in the morning, he heard a dog barking outside the door. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the gate of the yard, and saw a strange young man covered in blood.It was cold winter at that time, and the young man was covered with a layer of snow, as if he had been lying in front of their door for a long time.

The old man Qin was startled, tried the young man's breath, and he was already out of breath.He was terrified, but fortunately there was no one in the morning, and it snowed all night, covering the young man's footprints and blood under the snow, otherwise, he would have been suspected of being a murderer.In order to save trouble, he carried the young man's body to the abandoned wine cellar yard of their house, threw it down the dry well, and shoveled some soil to scatter it down.

After doing all that, he felt very guilty. For a year, he asked everyone if they were missing, and all he got were negative answers.Old man Qin has done such a bad thing in his whole life. He kept it from his family and friends. As time passed, he gradually forgot about it.When he saw the official, he remembered that he had dealt with such a dead man secretly.

"Father never told you and your mother about it, lest you worry about it." The old man Qin didn't know who the young man was, and said to his daughter, "You go to the yamen, and you must explain clearly. Daddy didn't kill that person, but that person died. In front of my house. If you see the young man’s family, say sorry on behalf of father, because father is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, delaying his burial for many years, it’s okay to pay some money.”
