Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Su Lin.

After Qiao Wu suddenly disappeared in Mingshan, Ruan Qing immediately sent secret guards to look for him.

As a result, they searched for several miles but could not find any trace of him. It was not until the afternoon of the second day that his body was found in a wilderness outside the city.

When Prefect Su had the body brought back to the yamen, in addition to sending someone to notify Ruan Qing, he also notified Old Madam Qiao, Ms. Tang, and Qiao Wu's wife, Ms. Qian.

When Tang and Qian heard the news, they couldn't believe it at all and thought that Governor Su was deliberately trying to scare them.

When they hurriedly brought Qiao Wu's two children to the yamen, and saw the familiar corpse lying quietly on the wooden frame, they suddenly felt a black screen before their eyes, and they rushed over and started crying and wailing.

Ruan Qing did not come, but asked Queqi to accompany Qiao Jun to the government office.

They arrived at the government office a little later than Tang and Qian.

"It's you. It must be you, the scoundrel who killed my son."

Tang and Qian, who were crying their hearts out, saw Qiao Jun and immediately turned around and rushed towards her as if they had seen their mortal enemy.

"Lord Su, are the people of Su Lin accustomed to slandering others without any basis?" Queqi stopped them one by one with his hands and looked at Governor Su with a frown.

"You..." When Tang saw that the person who stopped him was a young and beautiful girl, he opened his mouth and wanted to curse.

But before he could even utter a single curse word, Que Qi blocked it back with a cold face:

"Madam Qiao, I am not a junior of your family, but a legitimate military officer with a high rank. If you dare to say a single dirty word to me, I don't mind knocking out all your teeth."

Tang was frightened by her cold eyes, and the word "bitch" was stuck on her lips and she couldn't utter it. Qian was also frightened and closed her mouth.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Come, pull Ms. Tang and Ms. Qian apart." Prefect Su pressed his forehead with a wry smile and ordered the bailiff to pull Ms. Qian and Ms. Tang apart.

After spending a few days together, he has realized that the people around the Queen Mother all have very strong personalities.

If others don't provoke them, they won't cause trouble.

But if anyone wants to act tough in front of them out of boredom, he is only asking for trouble.

In recent years, Tang has relied on the abilities of his sons and has been used to acting arrogantly. He suffered a great loss in front of the princess a few days ago, and he didn't expect that he would not have such a good memory.

He really did a lot of evil things. When he wanted to die, no one could stop him.

"Sir, I am not slandering Qiao Yun. My son was fine when he went up the mountain with you yesterday.

As a result, everyone was gone after climbing the mountain, and Qiao Jun's hatred for us was obvious to everyone.

Apart from her, who else would attack my son? I hope the governor will handle the case impartially and make the decision for my son."

Tang had no idea what Magistrate Su was complaining about. After being pulled away, she slowly regained her senses. She calmed down before speaking again.

"Maybe he was silenced by someone? Grandmother, doesn't you know that your good son hired assassins to ambush in the mountains, trying to kill me and the prefect to silence us?"

Qiao Jun replied with a cold expression.

"Are you talking nonsense?" Tang and Qian turned to look at her at the same time and scolded her.

"She is not talking nonsense, it is true. Fortunately, I brought a lot of people with me and repelled the assassin.

Qiao Wu ran away during the melee.

I also suspect that he realized that things were going nowhere and wanted to run away, but I don’t know what happened later and he was killed.

In addition, the autopsy results of Qiao Yun’s parents have come out, and they were strangled to death.

Qiao Wu and Qiao Si had been to Xuzhou at that time. When faced with their brother and sister-in-law who were clearly strangled to death, they insisted that they had died of illness.

Based on this, we can judge that even if the death of Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Sima was not caused by your two sons, they are definitely responsible.

Now Qiao Wu is dead, but Qiao Si has not yet been brought to justice. I have sent people to arrest him.

And that house, you must return it to Qiao Yun and his sister as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I will send people to forcibly drive them away." Magistrate Su said with a stern face.

"No, it's impossible. How could this happen?" Tang and Qian's faces turned pale.

Especially Tang, she was completely dazed, as if she had lost her soul.

She had lived a glorious life for most of her life, so why did everything change when the Queen Mother came to Su Lin?

Three sons, one died, and the other became a wanted criminal?

I wonder if the remaining official in Yuhang will be implicated. What sin has she committed?

Qiao Wu's two children were also crying and hiccuping, but Qiao Jun who was standing next to them did not have any sympathy or mercy. Her thin and pretty face was filled with indifference.

My grandmother and fifth uncle brought their own misfortunes upon themselves; their siblings and parents were truly innocent.

Ruan Qing, who is in Ruyi Inn, is currently inquiring about a man named Zhou Yue.

After hearing the news of Qiao Wu's death, the first thought that came to her mind was that there was indeed someone else behind the fake Chai Qiong.

Otherwise, Qiao Wu would not have been silenced so quickly.

Who is this person? Could it be Zhou Yue mentioned by the fake Chai Qiong?

She summoned Yang San and Wang Zhisheng and asked them if they knew a man named Zhou Yue in the city.

They both shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had never heard of the name Zhou Yue.

When Queqi Qiao Jun returned from the government office, the news he brought back was that he had never heard of Zhou Yue.

It was a name that no one, from the prefect and the grain transport commissioner to the constable and yamen runners, had ever heard of.

If this person was in Sulin City, it would mean that he was an unknown little person.

Sulin is the most prosperous and largest city in Jiangnan, with a population of nearly one million.

Looking for an unknown person in a city with a population of nearly one million is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just when Ruan Qing was wondering whether he should try to interrogate the fake Chai Qiong, a new clue emerged.

On August 13, Prefect Su sent someone to inform that the Qiao family's ancestral home had been vacated and that Qiao Jun and his sister could take it over at any time.

Ruan Qing was bored, so he went out with her. Halfway through the journey, he found that countless people were rushing towards the street ahead.

Ruan Qing was curious, so he asked Queqi to go and see what was happening ahead.

After a while, Queqi came back.

"What happened on that street?" Ruan Qing asked.

"Yaoyuefang has put up a banner that reads: On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Master Daishan will come to our Yaoyue Tower in person to do makeup and draw eyebrows for Miss Qianyue." Queqi said with a strange look on his face.

"Who is Master Daishan?" Ruan Qing asked curiously.

"He is a famous talent, his surname is Zhou, he is good at writing poetry, and he is good at making up women, especially drawing dark eyebrows.

It is said that if a girl with only 50% pretty face had a pair of eyebrows drawn on her eyebrows, she would immediately become 80% pretty face and be known as Master Daishan.

All the prostitutes in Sulin's brothels regard Master Daishan as their faith." Queqi's expression became more and more strange.

"His last name is Zhou? What's his name?" Ruan Qing's heart moved when he heard it.
