Datang traitor

"Why do you say it's two women?" Zhou Xiaolu didn't understand.

"You are mother and daughter, and you were the first to discover your mother's body. I guess your room is very close to your mother, but you didn't hear anything that night, right?" Qin Yuan asked.

Zhou Xiaolu nodded.

Qin Yuan explained: "In the backyard of the deep house, it was still late at night, and your mother was alone in the room. Someone with disheveled hair came to see her. Not only did she not panic, but she could also be coaxed to eat poisonous things. It should only be possible. It was a woman she knew well.

The mattress is neat, which means that your mother was not struggling with poisoning on the couch, but someone bypassed the screen and transported the body to the bed.If it was just a woman transporting the corpse, she would definitely drag it because of her limited strength. The dragged clothes would have signs of wear and tear, would be sticky and dirty, and would also cause your mother's hair to be messy.But when you looked carefully at that time, you didn't see these things on the corpse, so I speculate that two or more people transported the corpse. "

"I thought this matter had nothing to do with my grandfather, but now it seems that I may have wronged him."

Zhou Xiaolu suddenly remembered something and said to Qin Yuan.

"Could it be my second aunt? That afternoon, my second aunt ran over to quarrel with my aunt. At first my aunt let her go and ignored her. Instead, she got even more angry and called me a goblin by the way. I didn’t know how to scald it, and said that my mother and I were freaks. My mother was really angry because she heard her scolding me, she dropped the cup, and the second aunt left later.”

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded to indicate the possibility.Qin Yuan asked Zhou Xiaolu to find a way to bring her second aunt here.They can make a surprise attack and let his second aunt come to watch the scene again, and if they are guilty, they will definitely show it.

Zhou Xiaolu nodded, and immediately ran out to find someone, but she came back in a blink of an eye, her face was calm but her eyes were fixed on Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan and Zhou Xiaolu have been together for a long time, and they understand each other somewhat, this look represents Zhou Xiaolu's 'shock'.Qin Yuan hurriedly asked Zhou Xiaolu what happened.

"My second aunt died." Zhou Xiaolu said to Qin Yuan, "My second aunt and uncle both died, on the same day."

Qin Yuan remembered that Old Master Zhou had said that his second son and sixth son were both dead.Qin Yuan hadn't wondered why Mr. Zhou's two sons died one after another in just a few months.Now I didn't expect that it was not only the son, but also the daughter-in-law.

"What about your sixth aunt?" Qin Yuan asked.

"It's almost the same. It's just one day away from my sixth uncle's death. It is said that he contracted a sudden violent illness. The sixth uncle and six aunts died suddenly, and the second uncle and second aunt waited for four or five days before going." Zhou Xiaolu Keep staring at Qin Yuan, "Brother Qin, this is too strange, isn't it?"

Qin Yuan remained silent.

"Come on, let's go out to eat and call your third brother." Qin Yuan walked out first.

Zhou Xiaolu called Zhou Zhoulang, and the two accompanied Qin Yuan to the best restaurant in Shangluo County.

Qin Yuan asked them what dishes they would like to eat, Zhang Sanlang and Zhou Xiaolu politely asked Qin Yuan to decide.

"I'll give you another chance to order." Qin Yuan said.

Zhang Sanlang politely asked Qin Yuan to make the decision, Zhou Xiaolu didn't care what to eat and followed Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan asked them to wait a while, went to the kitchen, and then came back.

Not long after, the shopkeeper personally brought the waiter to serve the dishes.

Sweet and sour cabbage, fried cabbage, cold cabbage, chestnut cabbage, cabbage and mutton ball soup, fried cabbage and box, mushroom roasted cabbage...

The staple food is naturally pasta such as Hubing, Qin Yuan does not eat it, and specially ordered it for Zhang Sanlang and Zhou Xiaolu.

There was only an empty bowl in front of Qin Yuan, and he picked up cabbage with chopsticks to eat.If there are other things in the dish, such as cabbage and mutton balls, he will only eat cabbage.

Zhang Sanlang looked at this table of cabbage and was shocked. He was happy that he was invited to dinner by the majestic Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and at the same time he was surprised by Qin Shaoqing's preferences. It was the first time he saw someone who liked eating cabbage so much. He must love it. It's crazy, otherwise I wouldn't be in a high position, so rich and have so many choices but only choose this one dish.

Zhou Zhoulang looked at Zhou Xiaolu, thinking that his sixth sister should be as shocked as himself, but he saw his sixth younger sister lowering her eyes, eating with chopsticks very calmly, as if the table was full of ordinary meals, nothing special.

Zhou Zhoulang looked at Qin Yuan again, he was calmer than Zhou Xiaolu, he ate in a gentle manner, but at a very fast speed.

The reaction of the two gave Zhou Zhou Lang an illusion that he was a little too fussy.

Zhou Zhoulang suppressed his shock, silently put a piece of Hubing into the bowl, and silently put a piece of mixed cabbage into his mouth.It's just raw cabbage, who hasn't eaten it before, just add some seasoning to reduce the astringent taste, just to make it refreshing.

but--

How can this cabbage be so delicious?

The shredded cabbage is very finely chopped, it tastes very crisp in the mouth, and the taste is very dense. The taste of the mixed vegetables can penetrate into the cabbage, while the cabbage itself has a refreshing and slightly sweet taste.Putting a simple bite of shredded cabbage in his mouth, he actually felt satisfied after eating it. It was better than the grilled leg of lamb that he could easily eat during the Chinese New Year.

This is simply delicious!

Try the fried cabbage again, it is very sweet.Steamed cabbage is soft but not broken, chewy and has more sweetness. With the prepared meat stuffing inside, it is fragrant and juicy after a bite. The combination of meat and vegetables is fragrant but relieves greasiness.

Delicious, delicious, all delicious!

Zhou Zhoulang couldn't control his hands at all, and the chopsticks kept reaching into the plate.

Qin Yuan was almost finished eating, turned his head to look at Zhou Zhoulang for a while, and said to him: "It's not easy to eat my food, not to mention that you beat your sixth sister before, and your sixth sister is my benefactor."

Zhou Zhoulang, who was eating vigorously, suddenly heard Qin Yuan's words, his good mood suddenly turned cold, and he dropped the chopsticks in his hand in fright.

He stood up in great panic, and faced Qin Yuan nervously.

"Qin Shaoqing, I—"

"Knowing that you have so many children in your family, why am I the only one looking for you?" Qin Yuan asked again lightly.

Zhou Zhoulang shook his head in fear.

"I still have some questions to ask, and if it's yours, I have to answer it truthfully. But if I lie a single word, I have a reason to punish you." Qin Yuan looked at Zhou Xiaolu and said, "You must have known it a long time ago, six Mother was sold to Yazi by his father. She is now my follower, and if you offended my people before, it is equivalent to offending me."

Before that, my grandfather wondered what kind of identity Six Sister was with Qin Shaoqing now.It turned out to be the kind of kindness of the master and servant, the servant saved the master.Then this is not a serious life-saving grace. To put it bluntly, the life of a domestic servant belongs to the master, and it is right to go to the savior in times of crisis.It can only be said that Qin Shaoqing is a gentleman, treats people generously, and thinks of kindness.

Since my sixth younger sister is a domestic servant with no status in Qin Shaoqing's house, the Zhou family is probably nothing in Qin Shaoqing's eyes.

Moreover, he had specifically inquired about the situation of this Qin Shaoqing before, he was a celebrity in front of the saint, and he had close contacts with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other royal family and dignitaries, he was really a big shot.Not to mention their Zhou family, no one in Shangzhou could offend him.

The more Zhou Zhou Lang made his position clearer, the more he faced Qin Yuan in fear, he hurriedly knelt down and swore that he would not dare to lie.

"When and how did your second uncle, second aunt, sixth uncle, and sixth aunt die?" Qin Yuan finished asking.

Zhou Zhoulang was stunned, hesitating whether to say or not.

Qin Yuan: "If you want your four elders to be safe underground, you'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, I will dig up the graves of your four elders in the name of disposing of the corpses of your family without authorization, and re-examine the autopsies. It's best It's really nothing, but if I find out that it was poisoned to death or other man-made reasons, all of your Zhou family will inevitably be involved!"

Zhou Zhoulang agreed in fear, and quickly told Qin Yuan what happened.

"My sixth uncle and sixth aunt were found dead on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month last year. The two of them died suddenly in the house. The one who found the body was the maid next to the sixth aunt. My father and I went to see it later. Both of them were poisoned. , died on the bed, and there was a water glass and a piece of rhubarb paper with arsenic powder on the table in the room. The matter was so important that my father immediately stopped everyone and asked my grandfather to decide.

Before this happened, the sixth uncle was dismissed by the yamen for making a mistake.The grandfather was so angry that he reprimanded the sixth uncle severely, saying that he would separate them and live alone.Uncle Six and Aunt Six were so frightened that they cried on the spot.So both my father and grandfather felt that they committed suicide because they couldn't think about it.

Because three years ago, there was already a suicide in the family, that is Liuniang's mother, my fifth aunt.If rumors about suicide go out again this time, people outside will definitely think that there is something wrong with our Zhou family, whether it is evil or bad luck.So my grandfather ordered it to go on, saying that my sixth uncle and aunt died suddenly due to illness, and the husband and wife died together because of mutual infection.After that, lime and other things were scattered around the house, and it was a long time to pretend to be fake. "

"After that, on February [-]th this year, my second uncle and aunt also died. I was not at home at the time, but my elder brother said that it was the same as last time. My second uncle was scolded by my grandfather for drinking and committing suicide. , the second uncle got a little bit more tempered, refused to accept and refuted a few words, and was beaten up by my grandfather. My grandfather also said that he would drive them out. Then at night, the second uncle and aunt committed suicide by taking poison.

We were all frightened by this incident, and so was my grandfather, but he insisted that it should not be passed on to the outside world, just like the last time we dealt with the six uncles and six aunts. They put it on hold for four or five days because of the illness, and then announced the death to the public. .

The only ones who knew about these things were the maid who found out at the time, as well as my father and grandfather. "

After Zhou Zhoulang finished speaking, he kowtowed to Qin Yuan, asking him to keep it a secret for himself, but don't tell his grandfather that he said these words, otherwise he must die a miserable death.

"Even if I don't tell you, your grandfather will know. It's better to say that I threatened you, otherwise you will attack the entire Zhou family. You have to tell me." Qin Yuan sent Zhou Zhoulang back, and it is best to tell Mrs. Zhou as soon as possible , and perhaps less beatings.

Zhou Zhoulang had no choice but to run away quickly.

Zhou Xiaolu looked indifferently at his third cousin who had left, and turned to Qin Yuan and sighed: "Brother Qin's move is so ruthless, he scared him and forced him to say anything, and he will have to be scolded and beaten again when he goes back. "

"I said that I will avenge you, but he always has to pay back the slap he slapped you." Qin Yuan explained.

Zhou Xiaolu thanked Qin Yuan lightly with words, and she saluted, expressing her gratitude clearly with gestures.

"You're welcome." Qin Yuan said to Zhou Xiaolu, "After this matter is settled, you have to talk to me about the Alien League. Regarding the matter of the Alien League, I always feel that some of your words are vague , you still have something to tell me."

"The Alien League is kind to me. Even if I betray, I will not betray completely." Zhou Xiaolu told Qin Yuan frankly that she really didn't know where the leader of the Alien League was. As for other things, it didn't matter. "There are also good people in the Alien League. They just want to live in peace. There is no need to involve them."

"There should be a contact point of the Alien League here in Shangluo County. I remember you said that you met the leader when you were helping people buy vegetables. How could it be so coincidental? Someone should have discovered your ability and reported it. Him." Qin Yuan sighed.

Zhou Xiaolu lowered her eyes and did not speak.Qin Yuan immediately realized that he was right.

Let's put this matter aside first, because Mrs. Zhou sent Zhou Zhoulang back to ask Qin Yuan and Zhou Xiaolu to go back to Zhou's house.

Qin Yuan noticed that Zhou Zhoulang's cheeks were red and swollen, so he held back a smile and asked him, "Have you been beaten?"

Zhou Zhoulang nodded, "Grandfather said that I was, was..."

"Cheated by me? Bluffed?" Qin Yuan answered.

Zhou Zhoulang looked back at Qin Yuan in surprise, and nodded slowly.

Qin Yuan: "I bluffed you. I have no evidence to prove that it was a violent death. How can I just dig your family's grave. You beat my people before, and now you are punished. We are even. But you have to remember , I wasn’t the one who really hit you, and it wasn’t me who made the mistake, it was your Zhou family who had a problem.”
