Chapter 614: Listen to the corner
Chapter 614
Qingqian, that is, the corpse that had been soaked in water for half an hour, finally after the arrival of the fourth master, was moved out of the room by three or five little eunuchs, and the door panel that had just been removed from the wing room once again became a simple stretcher for the corpse.

The two experienced servants who came from Dali Temple to temporarily catch Zhuang Ding, under the supervision of the fourth master, directly did a simple examination of Qingqian's corpse in the improvised pergola.
The results of the examination showed that there were obvious marks and scratches on Qingqian's neck and throat, which was obviously suffocated to death, and in the cracks of his fingernails, dander was indeed found, and it is believed that some of the murderers were scratched when Qingqian was struggling, so as long as everyone in the house is gathered together and examined by experienced people, it can be found who the murderer is.
However, this is not possible.
If the child who died today is the descendant of Aixinjue Luo, that is, the child of the fourth master, then this arrangement is naturally justified, but the one who died was a little palace maid who climbed the bed with her back to the master, and she didn't even have a serious reputation, that is, the fourth master wanted to find out about it, and it was not easy to give such an order, after all, just for a slave who died in the house, he would inevitably give people the excuse that he was not stable and attack him in front of the old man Kangxi, so the fourth master could only helplessly send a sum of silver to the two as a reward, and ordered the two to keep their mouths, so they suppressed the matter, and ordered someone to prepare a red seal of one hundred taels of silver, so he ordered someone to send Qingqian's body out of the house and hand it over to Qingqian's family.
That's the reality.
If it weren't for Erfu who asked him to invite him to come over before he came, the fourth master wouldn't even invite him, at most, he would let Chen Fu do it, and after a careful inspection, he would have removed Qingqian's body, so as not to stay in the mansion.
After arranging Qingqian's affairs and sending Su Peisheng to run in person, the relieved fourth master finally noticed a few red lacquer and gold cages and Erfu's outfit under the corridor, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely: "What are you doing here? Why did all those things move outside?"
"Of course I'm going to go to the garden as agreed, didn't you have people prepare the sedan car and wait for the departure early this morning!" Erph tilted her neck, smiled very casually, and said softly.
All right!
If it weren't for the trouble, then today would be a day for the family to go to the Old Summer Palace to relax and escape the summer, but after accidents again and again, even if Erfu mentions this now, she always feels weird in her heart, if it weren't for seeing that the fourth master still treats her as before, she also has an illusion of being assigned, but instead of being upset in the house for those rumors that she doesn't know what to say, she might as well go to the garden quietly!
"Let's go back in a few days!"
As Erfu expected, the fourth master retreated again, but Erfu didn't want to drag it out again and again!
The Old Summer Palace!
Don't look at how many times she has been there, and the current garden is not as magnificent and magnificent as the Old Summer Palace of the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, but Erfu still likes the Jiangnan garden style of small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and buildings, and every time she goes, she feels relaxed, especially this time, everyone doesn't go, only she and a few children go, if the fourth master also goes, it will simply fly up happily.
It's just that it is estimated that the fourth master will not be able to go.
Thinking of this, Erfu glanced at the fourth master with some pity, smiled and sent Yaoqin to the housekeeper to urge the arrangement of the carriage and horses, and if it was delayed any longer, it would be dark when they arrived at the garden.
"I can't listen to you this time.
My yard is being rebuilt, there is a mess everywhere, it is Qingqian that little girl who died today, if something happens again tomorrow, I am a very life-sparing person, I still take the child to live in the garden for a few days.
It just so happens that the weather is just right now, the Changchun Immortal Pavilion is ready, even Xiaowen and Xiaoman have already followed Zhao Dezhu to take care of it first, I can't just leave the two big palace maids out and leave them in the mansion by myself!" After speaking, Erfu looked like he had to go, and smiled playfully.
Every smile she has now is forcing herself, don't see that Qian is dead, but that piercing scarlet is still deeply imprinted in Erfu's mind, and she will think of it when she sees the fourth master.
So Elof thought, instead of so hard and patient, it would be better to let her go out and think about it by herself, maybe she would be able to forget about it after living outside for a few days, although Elof also had no hope for this slight possibility, but it was better than seeing each other, this was what she really thought.
That's what she thought, and she said it so bluntly, so straightforward that the fourth master's face was a little red, and then looked at the pair of children next to him who were blinking and doing ignorance, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Then you should pay more attention to safety when you go out, and don't leave anyone around you, especially let Qingdai follow you all the time, she is very good. The fourth master, who was a little reluctant, took Erfu to the side and took two steps, avoiding a pair of children's curious eyes, and explained in a low voice, although the Old Summer Palace is a royal garden, but in the end it is in the suburbs of Beijing, not as good as the security in the inner city, Erfu led a few children over, he was really not at ease, but he didn't want to follow at this time, because he had noticed Erfu's dodging and avoidance of him, he thought, maybe let Erfu spend some days outside, it's okay for them!
The reluctant fourth master personally sent Erfu and his party to the main courtyard to bid farewell to the Wulanala clan, and personally sent Erfu to the carriage out of the mansion, counted the palace maids and guards who followed the past to serve, and finally called Zhang Bao from the front yard and stuffed him into Erfu's entourage list, "This time you let you go with you to ensure the safety of Fang Fujin, those people under your hands have great skills, the master knows it, if you can't protect the safety of Fang Fujin and Little Brother and Xiao Gege, then you don't have to come back!"
In order to make Zhang Bao understand his responsibility, the fourth master knocked unceremoniously.
The group of people inked at the door of the weeping flowers for a while, and the Erfu and his party each boarded the carriage, and two columns of guards wearing armor and straddled fat and strong jujube horses, and came out from the side gate of the fourth master's mansion.
At the same time, two embarrassed little palace maids sat on a black horse and slipped out of the house through the back door.
"Sister Qingzhi, do we really want to chase the master to the Old Summer Palace?" Nianqiu, whose hair was scattered, hugged Qingzhi's slender waist tightly, and asked in a trembling voice.
It turned out that Qingzhi woke up after being moved to a side room.
It's just that after she woke up, she didn't make a big noise, and she didn't rush out of the door of the room, but quietly listened to the conversation of the past palace maids in the room, and after learning that Qingqian was dead, and Fang Fujin was also personally sent out of the weeping flower door by the fourth master, she woke up Nianqiu, who was also asleep, and the two slipped out of the back door of the west courtyard after a little discussion, directly found the stable, stole a horse, and slipped out of the fourth master's mansion.
This stealing is definitely not an adjective, but really stealing, she didn't notify the eunuch in the stable who was responsible for taking care of the horses, nor did she alarm anyone, she directly pulled the soulless Nianqiu, and took a little of her own silver to dot the mother-in-law guarding the back door and slipped away silently.
Of course, she chased Erfu not to avenge Qingqian.
Qingzhi understands Erfu, she believes that her master is not a ruthless person, so the cause of Qingqian's death must be related to the Fujin in the main courtyard, she wants to seek justice for Qingqian, and the only thing in this house that can help her is the side Fujin of the West Courtyard.
Don't ask her why she thinks so, that's what she thinks.
In Qing Zhi's opinion, the side Fu Jin Erfu in the West Courtyard is a very naïve person, or a person who lives very really, in Erfu's world, black is black, white is white, right is right, wrong is wrong, it has nothing to do with identity, maybe others will think that Qingqian is a little palace maid who dies when she dies, but Qingzhi believes that Erfu will take every life as the same, even if this dead person has betrayed her.
I have to say, don't look at Qingzhi didn't see through Qingqian, but really saw through Erfu.
Don't look at Erfu when she left the house, she didn't express any opinion on the fourth master's disposal of Qingqian, in fact, she disagreed with it in her heart, in her opinion, life is worthy of respect, and Qingqian is wrong, and the wrong person will not die, but the fourth master didn't check it and let people send Qingqian's body out of the house, which Erfu couldn't understand, but she also understood that the fourth master didn't want to protect anyone, or that this was the general trend, so she didn't express her opinion.
Don't say it, it doesn't mean that she agrees, it's just a kind of helplessness, after all, she is a little awkward when she sees the fourth master now, so she went to the Old Summer Palace in such a hurry, and even the fourth master took the initiative to keep people, and she found all kinds of reasons to excuse herself.
Nianqiu was originally a third-class little palace maid, and she didn't even have the qualifications to enter the upper room to Erfu, but she was suddenly pulled out of the house by Qingzhi like this, she was almost scared to death, not to mention, if she couldn't catch up with Erfu on the road, she would have to go to the Old Summer Palace.
If she could, she wished she had never been to Qingqian's side on an errand.
"Okay, the left and right have come out, you regret it now, don't tremble, you have to think about it, Qingqian is dead, the two of us survived by luck, but who knows if the person who did it will come to kill him uneasily, don't forget, before you fell unconscious, you saw half of that person's face!" In order not to let Nianqiu retreat, Qingzhi unceremoniously threatened.
Speaking of which, it was really Nianqiu's bad luck, originally Qingzhi asked her to take her clothes and send them to Huan to wash, but she dropped the waist card she was wearing in the clean room, and only remembered halfway through, she was busy rushing back, just happened to have a meeting with the person who got off the killer, and was knocked out directly at the door of the clean room, and she was still in a coma, and vaguely saw half of the face that was exposed when the man's hat was blown up, which scared her to death, so when Qingzhi said that she was going to find Fang Fujin outside the house, she hurriedly agreed, but as soon as she came out, she was afraid of wolves, afraid of the tiger, it really made Qingzhi helpless to the extreme, if it wasn't for the identification of people, Nianqiu, a coward, was indispensable, and Qingzhi really didn't want to take Nianqiu with her.
Nian Qiu was frightened by Qing Zhi, and he didn't tremble, he bit his lower lip tightly, his little face was as white as paper, and he grabbed Qing Zhi's waist tightly with both hands, and he didn't care if Qing Zhi could see it, he nodded again and again: "You're right, we must go to Fang Fujin, only Fang Fujin can protect us!"
"Don't talk too much, the wall has ears, this city is full of people, are you afraid that people won't pay attention to us!" Qing Zhi sighed speechlessly when she heard this, grabbed the side of the horse's reins with one hand, clamped the horse's belly with her legs, and rode the horse flexibly to a deserted path, and reminded in a cold voice, "Let me tell you, this inner city is better, there are few people coming and going, this outer city is crowded with people, people are crowded, people are by, if you can't keep your mouth shut, then we will have to be arrested back to the house even if we even go out of the city, you have to remember the identities of the two of us!" After speaking, Qingzhi didn't care whether Nianqiu understood it or not, so she clamped the horse's belly again, drove the horse, and quickly left the alley where she stayed, and ran straight to the outer city.
I have to say that sometimes it's the real fate that makes people.
Or they all said that the wall has ears, just when Qing Zhi thought she had chosen a hidden alley to talk to Nian Qiu, in a small door about a zhang away behind her, two pale gatekeepers heard her words just right, and it was a shame that Qing Zhi didn't reveal anything terrible in her words, otherwise she would really have to respond to her words.
This is the back door of the Ulanala clan's mother's house.
The two gatekeepers were carrying a bucket of rancidity swill, intending to open the small door and pour the swill into the big bucket next to the door, when they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, so they stopped, just leaning against the very thin black lacquered wooden door and listening, until the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, one of the more courageous and gossipy gatekeepers quickly opened the door, poked her head out of the door, and silently watched Qingzhi's back.
"What are you looking at, if you don't hurry up and pour this thing out, it really stinks!" the other doorkeeper unhappily covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and gently kicked the legs of the woman watching the excitement with her toes, and urged in a low voice.
The busy man who watched the excitement took back his head, looked around a little sneakily, and whispered mysteriously: "I looked at the person who was sitting right away just now, he was dressed a little like the head of the palace, do you think it will be ......?"
As she spoke, she made a holy gesture and winked at her companion.
