Start Six Maids

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and said aloud, "When the two guests entered the city, did you see lanterns hanging in every house in the city?"

Chu Ci nodded and said, "I see, I'm also curious, does every family in the city have happy events?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said aloud, "How is this possible!"

"There is only one family in the city that has a happy event, and that is Mr. Song's family!"

"Master Song's son is getting married tonight, so lanterns are hung in front of every house to celebrate!"

Chu Ci pondered, "Then I'm even more curious, why does Master Song want to hold a wedding at night?"

The shopkeeper turned his head to look left and right, and said in a low voice, "Because Master Song's son is dead, this wedding is a ghost marriage!"

"That's why the wedding is held at midnight!"

Dark marriage?

A strange color flashed in Chu Ci's eyes.

The living have their weddings during the day, and the dead have their weddings at night!

Chu Ci has also heard of this ghost marriage. If someone dies without being married, the elders in the family will find someone who has also died without marriage and hold a ghost marriage for the two.

"So it is!"

Chu Ci looked at the shopkeeper, and asked aloud, "Shopkeeper, how is Master Song?"

The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up when he heard the words, and said, "Master Song is really a great man!"

"Let's say that this Song Family Town was established with the funds of Master Song. We are all under the protection of Master Song!"

"but···"

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and then said, "Master Song is a good man, but his old son got sick and died!"

"Master Song doesn't want his son Quan to be unaccompanied, that's why we have today's ghost marriage."

Chapter 235: The Murder of the Family!

After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Chu Ci learned that the old man Song's house in Songjia Town was holding a ghost wedding.

"This old man Song is also pitiful."

The drunken Taoist shook his head and sighed softly, "The old man has a son, but the white-haired man gives the black-haired man, hey..."

Chu Ci patted the drunken Taoist on the shoulder, and said aloud, "Life and death depend on fate and wealth."

"Don't think so much, go to bed early, we have to hurry tomorrow."

The drunk Taoist nodded slightly, opened the door and walked in.

Chu Ci's room was opposite the Zui Taoist. When he opened the door and walked into the room, Chu Ci looked around.

The room is small, only one bed, one table, and one chair, but fortunately, the environment is clean and tidy.

The bedding on the bed is also brand new.

Chu Ci leaned back on the bed, and immediately smelled the sunshine from the quilt.

"Well···"

Chu Ci took off his clothes, pulled the quilt over his body, and fell into a deep sleep.

···

"Is this the inn?"

"Yes! I saw them go to Mr. Guo's inn!"

"Go, don't let them get away!"

Chu Ci was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and there was a faint noise in his ears.

boom!

There was the sound of someone kicking open the wooden door of the room.

Chu Ci suddenly sat up from the bed, and quickly put on his clothes.

Opening the door, Chu Ci saw a group of people rushing into the drunk Taoist's room and grabbed the yawning drunk Taoist out.

"There is still this room, don't let him escape!"

Someone in the crowd saw Chu Ci and immediately shouted.

Swish!

Two Kong Wu's powerful guards took a step forward and stretched out their arms to grab Chu Ci.

"Humph!"

Chu Ci let out a cold snort, revealing the aura of a seventh-rank martial arts expert.

pedal pedal...

The two guards were startled, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"You, what do you want to do?!"

When Chu Ci heard the guard's question, he immediately laughed.

"Trespassing the guest room and arresting people wantonly, who gave you the power!"

The officer opened his mouth when he heard the words, and said dryly, "Yes, it's Lord Guardian!"

"The guardian said that you are suspects and will take you to the government office for interrogation."

Chu Ci frowned slightly, and looked up at the drunk Taoist who was tied up and not yet fully awake.

"Let him go!"

The guard looked at Chu Ci in a daze, and finally nodded and gave in under Chu Ci's cold gaze.

"Let him go, anyway, we have a lot of people, and they can't escape!"

The guard waved his hand and ordered someone to untie the rope on the drunk Taoist.

The drunken Taoist rubbed his red arm that was strangled by the rope, walked up to Chu Ci and asked in a low voice, "Boy, what's going on?"

"The two of us were arrested for committing a crime?"

Chu Ci shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know, go to the government office to see the situation first."

Under the strict monitoring of the guards, Chu Ci and Zui Taoist came to the government office of Songjia Town.

Song Family Town was funded and established by Master Song, but the mansion and guard were built and held by the Longyan Empire.

The guard is nominally the biggest official of Songjia Town, and he is in charge of a series of civil, criminal, planning, production and other issues in Songjia Town.

The government office is not far from the inn, only less than a few hundred meters away.

Chu Ci and Zui Taoist walked into the hall of the government office and saw the guard sitting behind the desk.

Xu Zhengxian has served as the guardian of Songjia Town for more than ten years, and the government affairs he handles on weekdays are nothing more than trivial and trivial matters.

The worst thing is that the husband and wife quarrel, and the neighbors fight over the fields.

It was the first time Xu Zhengxian encountered such a murder case involving more than ten people in one house, so he was extra cautious.

Xu Zheng first looked at Chu Ci and Zui Taoist in the hall, raised his hand to pick up the gavel on the desk and patted it.

boom!

"Did the two of you enter Songjia Town last night?"

When Chu Ci heard Xu Zhengxian's question, he nodded and said, "Yes, I entered Songjia Town last night at [-]:[-] pm."

Xu Zhengxian sat up slightly, staring at Chu Ci firmly, as if doing so would bring a sense of oppression to Chu Ci.

"Then you stayed in the inn last night?"

Chu Ci nodded and said, "Of course!"

Xu Zhengxian continued to ask, "What are you doing at the inn?"

Chu Ci shrugged and said with a smile, "Sleep, otherwise what else can I do?"

Xu Zhengxian narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who can prove it?"

"Eh..." Chu Ci opened his mouth and said helplessly, "No one can prove it."

Chu Ci looked at Xu Zhengxian and asked curiously, "Lord Guardian, I want to ask a question."

"What happened that made you call us to the government office for interrogation?"

Xu Zhengxian was silent for a moment, and then said out loud, "All fifteen members of Song Tingfeng's family were silenced last night!"

"I have reason to suspect that you two foreigners did it!"

"Heh!" Chu Ci sneered when he heard the words, "Does my lord decide the case by feeling?"

"What evidence is there that we killed people?"

Xu Zhengxian stared deeply at Chu Ci and the drunk Taoist who was yawning beside him.

"Song Tingfeng has lived in Songjia Town for more than [-] years, and this Songjia Town was rebuilt and built by him!"

"Songjia Town's hundreds of families, large and small, have all received Song Tingfeng's favor, and they dare not hurt him for no reason, and even wiped out Song Tingfeng's entire family!"

Chu Ci chuckled, "So the murderer can only be us as foreigners!"

Looking at Xu Zhengxian, the smile on Chu Ci's face faded, "Master Zhenshou, if you want to convict us, please show us the evidence first!"

Chu Ci didn't want to make a fuss, otherwise, how refreshing would it be to drag the drunk Taoist away?

But if Xu Zheng first reported this matter to the higher authorities, how embarrassing would Chu Ci be when he saw the Empress?

Xu Zhengxian was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Of course I must talk about the evidence to decide the case!"

"The two of you are currently the most suspected suspects. We will temporarily put them in custody until the truth of the case is revealed. If the two of you are innocent, this officer will personally apologize!"

Chapter 236 Let me solve the case!

Songjia town prison.

It's called a prison, but it's just a well-guarded house.

Chu Ci and Zui Taoist were all locked in a room, and there were guards outside to prevent them from coming out.

"Fortunately, Pindao took the wine gourd before he came."

The drunk Taoist leaned against the wall, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine.

Looking at Chu Ci, the drunken Taoist suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, the first time Pindao met you was also in prison, right?"

Chu Ci turned to look at the drunken Taoist, and said with a smile, "At that time, the Taoist priest was very embarrassed."

"Ha ha···"

The drunk Taoist laughed for a while and asked, "Boy, what shall we do next?"

"Do you really want to stay in this cell and wait until the guards solve the case?"

Chu Ci shook his head and said with a smile, "How is it possible?"

"We don't have time to spend here!"

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard lightly, and asked curiously, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Direct jailbreak?"

Chu Ci's face darkened when he heard this, "Prison escape?"

"Then when I see Your Majesty in the future, won't I be laughed at by her?"

The drunk Taoist chuckled, "Then it will... wait!"

The drunk Taoist looked at Chu Ci suspiciously, "Boy, I am very curious, what is the relationship between you and the Empress?"

"That day in the prison in Shengjing City, it was the empress who took you out. Now, according to what you said, do you know the empress very well?"

"Cough!" Chu Ci coughed lightly, and said, "My confidant, does my confidant understand?"

The drunk Taoist looked at Chu Ci in surprise, the meaning of what he said just now did not seem to be the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
