The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Qu Mingyue was awakened by loud shouts.

Before she got up in a daze, she heard Jiu'er knock on the door, and then opened the door to come in.

"What's the matter, did you leave so early?" Qu Mingyue yawned big.The oil lamp on the table was still shining faintly, and from the window paper, there was only faint morning light.Even if the transportation in ancient times was underdeveloped, they didn't have to wear stars and moons to travel like this, did they?

Qu Mingyue feels that looking up now, in the ancient sky without air pollution, you can definitely see the stars all over the sky clearly.

But Jiu'er shook his head.

When questioning Jiu'er, Qu Mingyue was also getting dressed, and Jiu'er was silently helping.The speed is still very fast.In addition, Jiu'er will not force her to wear a complicated bun now, so when Qu Mingyue stepped out of the room, not too long passed.

It's just that the news that he got in such a short period of time made Qu Mingyue feel horrified. Yesterday, the Qiao family was still having a wedding.Today, the whole family was completely dead.

When Qu Mingyue went downstairs, she saw some government servants and policemen sitting or standing in the hall. The one sitting at the table was about 40 years old and had a short beard.The eyes were slightly red and bloodshot, and it could be seen that he had not rested well.

But his face was very solemn, and he was asking the guests in this inn about yesterday's situation.

The Qiao's banquet is a three-day feast, and it doesn't stick to the gift, so even the guests staying at the inn, as long as there is no emergency, they all went to join in the fun yesterday.Therefore, this has virtually increased the pressure on officials to handle cases.

Everyone who was there at the beginning could be the murderer.

At this moment, all the tables in the hall were requisitioned by the officials, and there were nine officials sitting there. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstones in front of the tables, obviously registering everyone's information one by one.

Just as Qu Mingyue finished looking at the situation in the lobby, Qu Dongyan called her from five steps away.Over there, a government servant was registering a fur dealer.

Qu Mingyue walked over quickly and asked him what was going on now.

"Brother Feng and I have already registered, the only thing left is you and Jiu'er." Qu Dongyan introduced the basic situation, and then told Qu Mingyue what he heard at the moment, "I heard that the old man of Qiao's family last night The wife, the old lady, and the bride and groom are all dead. Oh, I heard that only the concubine who entered the door at the same time, that is, the younger sister of the other bride, is still alive."

Qu Mingyue also saw the end of yesterday's marriage, and it was not until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, that it was worthy of the end.Of course, after watching the wedding, Qu Mingyue simply ate something and left, instead of staying so late.

There were two brides in yesterday's wedding, and the Qiao family's Young Master Sun also enjoyed the blessing of everyone.According to the rules, he got married last night in his wife's wing, and he could only go to the side room the next day.

But this happy young master Qiao was extremely unfortunate.I heard that the servant girl found her dead together with his wife this morning. One fell on the bed and the other died on the ground.His face was dark and his lips were black and purple.Black blood flowed from the seven orifices.

The scene was horrific.

The terrified servants hurriedly ran to Mrs. Laotian to decide, took them and rushed to Mrs. Mrs.'s room. Although the two of them did not bleed from their seven orifices, they were lying stiffly on the bed, but they had died for a long time. up.

The whole body is already a little stiff.

Now the maidservants and servants are not only frightened, they are already bewildered.Almost all of them are mechanical. They want to find the old man to come out and preside over the matter, but they are vague.They were not at peace. They just came to see the old lady, and the old lady looked like this, so the old lady and the old lady also...

This little bit of worry hadn't formalized yet, and when they saw the two old people on the bed who were as silent as a master and his wife, they immediately panicked.

Unexpectedly, the entire family had died at some point.

Last night was a day of great joy for the Qiao family, so it was naturally very lively.

But the old man and the old lady are old after all.It was only about three o'clock in the unitary hour, and I was ready to go to rest.After dinner, I washed up and went to bed.It was near the end of the Xu Dynasty that the master and wife ordered the officials to deal with the subsequent banquet.I went to rest first.

The old man and his wife who had supper fell asleep before the hour of the day.

As for the bridegroom officer, he followed his friends who usually came to celebrate and drank at the banquet until about [-]:[-] pm. He really drank a little too much, and was sent to the young lady's room by his servants when he was so drunk.At that time, the young master spoke very cohesively, but the drink with the young lady went smoothly.

After drinking the Hejin wine, the young lady asked all the maids who brought the young master to go down.

No one was guarded at the door. The officials who received the notification felt that the young lady was shy, so they just let the maidservants do the same.And on the grounds that the young lady is the master, let them do whatever they want, and come to ask his maidservant a lesson.

Because of being scolded, the maid clearly remembered the time at that time, and when it was almost midnight, the butler was instructing to clean up the leftovers on the table.

"That is to say, they all died of poisoning?" Qu Mingyue clicked her tongue. Yesterday was still a happy event, and she also said that there would be a three-day feast, but she didn't know that the night had not passed, and she was almost dead.

"Yes, it's basically like this. There's only the side room. It's said that he is still young, and he doesn't need to wait for the young master to come over, so he drank some sweet soup, ate some cakes, and went to bed early." Feng Ning suddenly interjected, Speaking of which, Qu Mingyue went downstairs just now, but she didn't see Feng Ning.

And looking at Feng Ning at this moment, Xiao Er is still following behind him, holding a pot of minced meat porridge, which is emitting a scorching aroma at the moment.

"Come over and talk while eating." Although the officials occupied almost all the tables, Feng Ning didn't have to be so particular, so he asked Xiaoer to put the porridge pot on the counter, and everyone started drinking after filling a bowl of porridge stand up.

It's not easy for the people in this inn to make good records, at least it doesn't matter if Qu Mingyue goes slowly.

Wait for the notes to be made.It was already daylight.The officials dispersed. This case was very difficult for them. There were too many people involved in the case, and none of them seemed suspicious. They simply didn't know where to start.

"In this case, there are often two possible answers, one is 'the person who is least likely to be a murderer is precisely the murderer'. The other is 'whoever is the last beneficiary is the murderer'." Noon At that time, Qu Mingyue and a few people were eating in a private room, walking all the way, but only a few steps in the aisle, you can see 20 people discussing this matter.

Qu Mingyue also unconsciously thought too much, wanting to know who is so vicious and hurts so many people.

Because the official said that until there were no more detailed clues, those involved in the case were not allowed to leave the city.This is simply house arrest in disguise, and Qu Mingyue is naturally not the only one complaining.

Especially those who still have business to do, they immediately started to howl.But the official difference is very tough.

"Hey, it's no wonder that the officials are nervous. This Qiao family has a backer. The whole family is dead at this moment. If they don't find the murderer as soon as possible, they may lose their jobs." Xiaoer came in to send Hearing the discussion of Qu Mingyue and others, and seeing that it was a private room, he couldn't help but lower his voice and gossip.

Qu Mingyue suddenly became interested, and even Qu Dongyan looked at Xiaoer with great interest, hoping to explain it to him.

Xiao Er put the dishes on the plate, touched his nose a little embarrassingly, and suddenly regretted being so talkative.But he couldn't hold back anymore. After this incident happened, they didn't know how long it would take before they could live a peaceful life again.

Although when the Qiao family was around, they sometimes felt aggrieved.

Xiao Er pondered in his heart, and didn't know how to describe this feeling.It seems to feel a little happy, but also a little afraid of the day when he may be caught as a murderer at any time.

Now those officials look like they are all murderers.Although Xiaoer knew the pressure of those officials, he was also afraid.

Xiao Er looked back at the tightly closed door, and then said, "Actually, although the Qiao family is the richest man in our county, they are not so kind to others. They have done a lot of things behind the scenes. Especially some??"
