Red catch quickly gets teased

"You are Xiao Yue's maidservant, Qiu Yue"

Hong Qingrui asked with a frown after looking at Qiuyue.

She looked really embarrassed.

Qiuyue bowed to the two with tears in her eyes, "Yes."

Lan Doumi glanced at Qiuyue's clean hands, pointed to the other side and said, "Sit down and talk."

Qiuyue was in pain all over, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she heard this. She sat down after seeing that Hong Qingrui had no objection.

"Mom, why didn't I hear what they said?"

Feng Xiang wondered after listening for a long time.

Mother Feng, who had already held the child in her hands, didn't care, "What are you afraid of, who wouldn't beat your husband and wife? Besides, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework. Even if the government joins in on our Feng family's affairs, the government can't do it." What's the matter!"

After hearing this, Feng Xiang immediately became less nervous, "Mother, you are right."

Mother Feng smiled.

Lan Doumi leaned against the door frame and stared at the two people who were behind his back. He cleared his cough, and Feng's mother and Feng Xiang trembled in fright.

"Officer, officer."

Feng's mother, who was very reasonable just now, became a quail.

Lan Doumi held a straight face, and he pointed to the main room, "We found out that Qiuyue was related to Xiaoyue's death, and now we are going to bring him back to the Yamen for interrogation, Feng Xiang, as Qiuyue's bedside person, you also Let's walk around."

The Feng family's mother and son were shocked when they heard this, and Feng Xiang felt it was impossible.

"Just Qiuyue's temperament? She doesn't even dare to kill chickens, and she is also bullied in Yihonglou. Will such a person commit a murder?"

Lan Doumi glanced at each other up and down.

"You know her quite well."

When Feng Xiang heard this, his expression was a little complicated.

Lan Doumi pointed to their room, "Then do you know what Qiuyue put under the bed?"

Feng's mother held the child with a questioning expression on her face, and Feng Xiang looked at Lan Doumi.

"No matter how weak-tempered this person is, he will have a cruel day. If we don't come, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Mother Feng was shocked. She stuffed the sleeping child into Feng Xiang's hands, turned around and ran into the house. After hearing what Lan Doumi said, Feng Xiang was full of disbelief. He forgot that he was still holding the child in his arms. The child almost fell to the ground when he let go, but fortunately, Lan Doumi snatched the child back quickly, but he was surprised and burst into tears at this moment.

Mother Feng shook her legs, and took out two scimitars and a pack of guns from the room.

"Son, she is determined to harm you!"

Feng Xiang looked at the things in Feng's mother's hand, his eyes were full of fear.

"I took you away, you..."

Hong Qingrui locked Qiuyue's hand with a chain and went out of the main room. He looked at Feng Xiang as if thinking about how to deal with him.

Feng Xiang cleverly knelt down in front of Hong Qingrui.

"My lord, my lord! The villain really doesn't know about this. The villain just ransom her out and doesn't know what she did in Yihong Tower! You look at these, lord!" Feng Xiang pointed at Feng Xiang. "If you hadn't come here today, my Feng Xiang's life would have been killed by this poisonous woman! My lord, the villain is innocent!"

Feng Xiang, who was involved in this matter, had long forgotten that when Xiao Yue died, Qiuyue was locked in his room by him, unable to go anywhere.

"Officer! This matter has nothing to do with my son!"

When Feng's mother heard that she was going to take away her son, she didn't care about being afraid. She stepped forward and knelt down. Seeing that Hong Qingrui hadn't moved, she even pointed to the door of the main room, saying that if they dared to take Feng Xiang away, she would He bumped his head to death in front of the opponent.

Hong Qingrui and Lan Doumi looked at each other.

Lan Doumi sighed, "That's right, then let's take Qiuyue away and ask for clarification. As for you, Feng Xiang, you haven't gotten rid of the suspicion yet. If we come to interrogate you some other day, but you run away, this is absconding in fear of crime. Whether you are guilty or not, you will be implicated."

"The villain will not escape! The villain will not escape!"

Landoumi nodded in satisfaction, "As for this child..."

"The child needs milk, take it with you!"

Before Feng's mother could speak, Feng Xiang made a decision on the child's whereabouts.

After Lan Doumi and the others left with Qiuyue mother and son, Feng's mother pulled herself together and poked Feng Xiang on the forehead.

"That's your son, you let them take him away with just one word?"

"I'm afraid that the poisonous woman will come back if the child is with us. If she does something, I will be finished."

Feng Xiang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"You said what you did to redeem her back then!"

Mother Feng was very distressed.

"Feng Niang? What's the matter with you?"

A woman leaned out from the gate of the courtyard, looked at the two and asked.

"I watched Qiuyue being chained away, did she commit a crime?"

Another woman poked her head out and asked.

"Let's go! We're doing well! Go away!"

Mother Feng drove him away cursing.

In order to hurry, Hong Qingrui found a carriage when he arrived in the town. He rode a horse, and Lan Doumi, Qiuyue and the child were in the carriage. Along the way, Qiuyue also told Lan Doumi everything she knew.

Xiao Yue has a bad temper. Before Qiuyue served her, there were more than 20 maids beaten to death by Xiao Yue. These maids were all slaves and sold to the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard. Yihong Courtyard only needs people with some cards They can beat them.

It's not easy for the girls in the brothel. They are forced by the bustards to pick up customers they don't want to pick up, and are abused by men with special hobbies. After years of exhaustion, the girls and the brothels in the brothel more or less follow suit. Some, when they vent/vent their anger, the servant girls under their hands are the first to suffer.

And Xiao Yue is the most poisonous one.

"I was sold in by my father," Qiuyue said with a blank expression when she mentioned this matter, "It is thanks to my father's last little conscience that I can live until now. He didn't sell me out, he just let me work in Yihong Courtyard." Work, I took ten years’ wages in advance.”

So no matter how much Xiao Yue abused Qiuyue, she didn't dare to kill her.

After all, Xiao Yue and the others are also slaves, but their bond is in the hands of the bustard. As long as they can make money for the bustard, the bustard will turn a blind eye to their methods.

"Actually," Qiuyue swallowed at the end, she hugged the child tightly in her hand, and whispered to Lan Doumi.

"Actually, Xiao Yue's death reminded me of one thing."

This incident was also Xiao Yue's sin.

One of the maids who died in Xiao Yue's hands was named Cuiping. That maid was only 14 years old, but she was fair-looking and had two dimples when she laughed. Compared with other maids sold by poor families, she looked like a She was a rich girl, and people in the building often gathered together to speculate that the Cuiping must have been tricked into the building by human traffickers and sold.

Because she really doesn't look like a poor girl.

Because Cuiping is good-looking, the old bustard has been kept by her side all the time. People in the building guessed that it must be cultivated, so that she can replace the old Zhuhuang's top card in the future.

And Xiao Yue happened to be the top card.

Every time she sees a customer molesting Cuiping, the bustard will come out with a smile to beat the muddy water, and then push Cuiping away. This is to keep Cuiping's innocence. When she turns 16 years old in the future, well, Sell ​​it for a good price, just like Xiao Yue.

Sometimes when I meet some customers who have money and have bad tempers, they lose their temper in the building if they don’t get Cuiping. shield.

Seeing that Cuiping looks more and more beautiful, Xiao Yue's heart is getting more and more flustered.

One morning, Xiao Yue saw herself in the bronze mirror and felt that she was getting older. She began to be afraid, afraid that the bustard would trample her under her feet because of Cuiping.

For this reason, she designed to frame Cuiping for taking her own things, which were given to Xiao Yue by a guest from the capital after spending the night with her. The old bustard said that he would come to see Xiao Yue next time, and asked the old bustard to treat Xiao Yue better, and even gave the old bustard a silver ticket of 1000 taels.

Xiao Yue cried and said that the young master would lose his temper with herself if he didn't see this thing next time, and maybe it would hurt the people in the building.

After hearing this, the bustard thought about it all night, and then handed over Cuiping to Xiao Yue.

The old bustard thought that Xiao Yue would just hit Cuiping, after all, everyone in the mind building where she kept Cuiping in front of her knew that no matter how courageous Xiao Yue was, she would not dare to attack her future cash cow. Days later, Cuiping died in the dungeon.

"Cuiping is wearing clothes, her exposed hands, feet, face, and neck are all intact, only her body has been skinned."

The person who discovered this was the old bustard. She thought how could she die after a beating, so the moment she saw the corpse, she tore off Cuiping's clothes, and the skinless flesh and blood were directly exposed on everyone's chest. before.

The old bustard vomited on the spot, and she ran to Xiao Yue's room to question her, but Xiao Yue smiled and took out a box, and then opened it in front of the old bustard, inside was the human skin peeled off from Cuiping's body .

I don't know what the old bustard said to Xiao Yue, but since that day, the old bustard told the people in the building to shut up, and no one should mention Cuiping.

"I am the one who served Xiao Yue after Cuiping. Xiao Yue likes to drink when she is alone, and she will talk about it when she is drunk."

Qiuyue thought of the wild laughter on Xiao Yue's face, and felt chills all over her body at this moment.

"Did she do it?"

Lan Doumi asked, and after asking, Lan Doumi felt stupid again, if it was Xiao Yue's hands, how could she die.

"No, she said that for this matter, she secretly posted to accompany a person for a month. That person likes to be skinned. Xiao Yue deliberately mentioned that there was a slave girl in the dungeon when the other person was half drunk, and said that this girl It's very cheap, even if you die, a small stone falls into the deep lake, and it can't make any ripples. The other party took out something on a whim and entered the dungeon with Xiao Yue, and then..."

"What's that man's name?"

Qiuyue shook her head, "I don't know. Xiao Yue never mentions his name. I've met him a few times. Every time that person comes, he goes through the back door. The bustard doesn't know that he entered Xiao Yue's house." Every time Xiao Yue receives him, I will tell the madam that she is not feeling well and will not accept guests."

"What is that man like?"

"He's a man in his fifties, and he's dressed quite richly. Every time he comes, Xiao Yue will send me away, and he won't let me in until the next morning."

Lan Doumi thought for a while, "What will he bring with him when he comes?"

"A small box."

After thinking about it carefully, Qiuyue raised her hand and made a gesture. The child in her arms snorted because of her movement, and she was so frightened that she quickly hugged the child and coaxed it softly.

The guy with the little suitcase...

This made Lan Doumi think of Lang Zhong.

Reminiscent of what Wang Yuzuo said, Lan Doumi felt more like it.

He looked up at Qiuyue, pointing at the bruises on her face, he didn't understand, "Then Feng Xiang redeemed you, why did he treat you like this?"

Ten years' wages, minus two years, there are still eight years, plus the price added by the bustard, no matter what, it will cost more than ten taels of silver. Then Feng Xiang is a poor scholar, and he managed to save enough money to treat her like this, Lan Dou Mi doesn't feel right.

Qiuyue raised her hand and touched her cheek, and said with a wry smile, "Me? I did it on my own."

Qiuyue and Feng Xiang met each other while urinating.

Because Qiuyue's uncle is from Feng Xiang's village, Qiuyue is good-looking and hardworking. Since she turned fifteen, there have been many people coming in to ask for marriage, and Feng Xiang is one of them.

Compared with other peasants, Qiuyue naturally has a different affection for Feng Xiang, a poor scholar, but Qiuyue's father has a high vision, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry a poor scholar, because there is no benefit at all.

It's just a trick of good fortune, just when Qiuyue was about to make a promise to another Yinshi family, Qiuyue's young mother was pregnant, which made Qiuyue's father very happy.

One day, Qiuyue's father met a fortune teller, and the fortune teller pointed to Qiuyue and said that once the marriage between her and her husband's family was settled, then Miss Qiuyue and the child in her belly would die, and Qiuyue's face would be beautiful. Alright, it's sister Yao's life to commit many peach blossoms!

After hearing this, Father Qiuyue felt that it was a good thing for Qiuyue to enter the kiln. Several girls in the village had entered the kiln, and they could bring back a lot of money every month to support their family, so Father Qiuyue ignored Qiuyue's pleadings. , sent it to Yihong Building.

Qiuyue stayed in Yihonglou for two years. In the past two years, Qiuyue saw all the incidents. She didn't want to go out because she knew that her father would not come to redeem her.

Feng Xiang came here frequently, and every time he would look at Qiuyue eagerly before leaving, and every time he left, he would swear that he would definitely redeem Qiuyue.

Speaking of this, Qiuyue's tears fell down.

"He said this to me very seriously, but I don't believe it. I know the situation of his family. How did he get so much money? It was just at that time..."

A boy in the building showed his love to Qiuyue. He didn't sell himself to enter the building. He did odd jobs in Yihonglou. He was shrewd and down-to-earth. He had saved some money and was able to redeem Qiuyue, even if Xiaoyue did not let her go, he could still redeem him first, and then told the procuress that they would still serve people in Yihonglou after they got married.

"I'm heartbroken," Qiuyue said hoarsely, "What if I go out? I can't go back to the village. Once I go back, I will either be married off or sold into another brothel by my father, so I I answered that person."

Just when the two were about to redeem themselves, Feng Xiang, who didn't know how to get the news, ran over to find Qiuyue.

He said that if he gave him another day of work, he would be able to make up enough money.

Qiuyue neither agreed nor refused.

One day later, Feng Xiang secretly finds the old bustard and redeems Qiuyue.

Just like that, Qiuyue was taken away by Feng Xiang, and the boy was not in the building before leaving.

Only after the boy came back did he realize that Qiuyue had been redeemed, and he was both happy and angry.

The joy is that Qiuyue is free, but the anger is that Qiuyue betrayed him and ran away with other men.

So on the day when Qiuyue and Feng Xiang got married, the servant broke into their house, pointed at Qiuyue and scolded them, and since that incident, everyone in the village knew that Qiuyue had stayed in the kiln and played with the servant's feelings , Also made fun of Feng Xiang who didn't know.

Only then did Qiuyue know that Feng Xiang had polished off her scholarly integrity in order to collect money, and suffered a lot of grievances.

"Later, Feng Xiang changed."

Qiuyue lowered her eyes.

"But I don't blame him, it's my own fault."

The scimitar under the bed was for killing Feng Xiang, because Feng Xiang didn't care about himself, but he shouldn't treat the child like that. As for the sex, Qiuyue left it for herself and the child.

Landoumi really didn't know how to answer after listening.

Saying Qiuyue is right, she is indeed hiding her selfishness, hanging two men, saying that she is wrong, and she doesn't know whether she is more wrong or more right.

After arriving at the yamen, Qiuyue was placed by Lan Doumi in the side courtyard where Wu Wei and others lived. Qiuyue had to testify as to who the 50-year-old man with the suitcase was.

After listening to Lan Doumi's words, Hong Qingrui looked up at the sky.

"It looks like a doctor."

After Sun Butou heard the news, he immediately began to investigate the doctors in Anhe County, but either they were not the right age, or they never visited brothels, and they were very clean. Qiuyue secretly looked at several of them, and shook her head and said no.

"Boss! Brother Hong!"

Keep an eye on Xiaohong's money and back.

"How is it? Does anyone have a problem?"

Hong Qingrui asked.

Qian He shook his head, "I've been working honestly, I can't say I'm stupid, but I'm always bullied."

"Bullyed by whom?" Catcher Sun tilted his head.

"Those servants, they can talk about trivial things, tsk tsk, the curse words in that place are really powerful," Qian He said with a look of admiration, "It's better than my old lady."

"Does anyone say that about my mother?" Master Liu smiled and shook his head.

Qian He quickly slapped his mouth, "But she's too honest, so I find it weird."

Lan Doumi raised her head when she heard this, "It's strange, can this person be honest?"

Hong Qingrui started to think about it, he patted Qian He on the shoulder, "Keep staring," and then looked at Lan Doumi and Sun Butou, "Don't forget, Qiuyue was honest when she was bullied by Feng's family, The group of villagers in Qinghe Village are also very honest on the surface."

Lan Doumi's spine felt cold, and he hurriedly squeezed towards Hong Qingrui.

Rui Ge is full of yang, and stays steadfast by his side.

Catcher Sun rolled his eyes when he saw this smile, but Master Liu coughed, "Ahem, this is the yamen."

Hong Qingrui stood in front of Lan Doumi, and nodded expressionlessly.

Master Liu: ...Don't think that just because you nodded, I think you listened to me!

I searched all over Anhe County and the surrounding area, but I still couldn't find the "doctor."

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Changwen asked Sun Catcher to send some people to wander around the surrounding counties, and once they found something suspicious, they would send Qiuyue there to have a look.

Hong Qingrui and Lan Doumi came to Yihong Building again.

The bustard's eyelids twitched when he saw them.

Sure enough, as soon as Hong Qingrui spoke, the bustard's face turned blue.

"How did Cuiping die?"

The old bustler swallowed, and finally told the truth. In the end, the old bustard still scolded Xiao Yue. If it wasn't for her, he would have another cash cow now.

"Where is the body buried?"

"It's in Xiaojia Mountain on the outskirts of the city. I felt sorry for her, so I specially set up a stone tablet for her."

She said she was sorry for Cuiping, but she was actually guilty of a guilty conscience. She felt that Cuiping's death was too tragic, and she was afraid that it would be bad for her if the other party's soul would linger.

"Take us to see."

Seeing Hong Qingrui's cold face, the old bustard did not dare to refuse, and after tidying up hastily, they went to Xiaojia Mountain.

Xiaojiashan is actually a small cemetery, and most of the people buried here are those who could not find their families.

The old bustard brought Hong Qingrui and others to a small stone tablet, "No, this is it."

The stone tablet was already covered by green grass.

Lan Doumi rolled up his sleeves and tore apart the green grass in front of the stele, but he didn't want to and found a hole.

Hong Qingrui stabbed it with the tip of the knife, and the stele sank. The old bustard screamed and trembled all over.

"Cui, Cuiping are back?"

Lan Doumi rolled her eyes, "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

The old bustard swallowed, she ignored Lan Doumi's sarcasm, and moved behind Hong Qingrui secretly.

Hong Qingrui pulled Lan Doumi up, "This is an empty grave."

The body has been taken away.

Thinking of Cuiping's death, and Xiao Yue's death, Hong Qingrui had the answer in his heart.

Landoumi also seemed to understand something.

"Buddhist, is the boy in your building who liked Qiuyue still there?"

The old bustard shook her head, "Gone, the day after Qiuyue got married, she even sold her ancestral house and said she wouldn't come back."

After separating from the bustard, Lan Doumi looked at Hong Qingrui, "Is Xiao Yue's death related to that servant?"

Hong Qingrui pinched Lan Doumi's palm, her voice was soft, "It's not a murderer, but it's very likely that the murderer found out how Cuiping died through this young man."

The murderer is also very likely to find the person who peeled Cuiping's skin back then and learn this trick, and then treat him in his own way, and return all the pain that Cuiping has endured to Xiao Yue.

This is vendetta.
