The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

In August of the 14th year of Hongwu, Cui Miao and Shen Qing went back to Fengyang together. When they passed by Jinan Mansion, it was already sunset. The two found an inn in Jinan Mansion to stay overnight. After eating and drinking, Cui Miao took a bath in the room. Unknowingly fell asleep, but was saved from a difficult situation.

Cui Miao took advantage of the time when the masked man was too busy to take care of himself, put on his jacket, and kicked the dagger in his hand away. The masked man regained his strength, rolled on the spot and opened the distance between the two of them, looking at Cui Miao's eyes Surprised for a moment, he opened the window and wanted to jump down, but Cui Miao quickly grabbed his ankle, pulled him in with force, and fell hard to the ground.

Cui Miao's saber was unsheathed at the same time, and it touched the masked man's throat, and asked coldly, "Who are you and why did you kill me?"

The door was pushed open vigorously, Shen Qing who heard the movement hurried in, saw the scene in the room, his expression was startled, he saw Cui Miao's hair loose, half-wet underwear stuck to his body, covering his whole body The outline is outlined, the chest is half open, and the fair skin is looming.Shen Qing's throat moved, he swallowed subconsciously, and forced himself to look away, looking at the masked man lying on the ground, but saw the masked man staring at Cui Miao, his cold eyes became even colder, and he came to Cui Miao's body He stepped forward, blocked him behind him, and kicked the masked man on the neck. The man passed out without even groaning.

Cui Miao was taken aback, looked at Shen Qing in confusion, and asked, "Brother Shen, why is this?"

Shen Qing replied flatly: "It's possible that he will play tricks again, it's better to control it first."

Cui Miao thought about it, and thought it was right. She bent down and wanted to tie the masked man up with a belt, but Shen Qing grabbed her and said in doubt, "Brother Shen?"

Shen Qing glanced away, and said: "You tidy up yourself first, leave this to me."

Cui Miao looked at herself, and couldn't help but blush, and she was glad that she was wearing underwear in the shower, otherwise, this half day would have been just walking a bird.He smiled shyly and said, "Then please, Brother Shen, I'll go to your room to change clothes."

Seeing Cui Miao leaving the door with her clothes in her arms, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, pinched her hot ears, her cold eyes were filled with emotion, and it took a while before she calmed down.Taking out the torch and lighting the oil lamp, Shen Qing glanced at the belt that fell beside Cui Miao, bent down to pick it up, folded it carefully and put it on the bed, then tore off the masked man's belt to tie his hands and feet together.

As soon as the tying was finished, Cui Miao walked in. Although her clothes were neatly dressed, her hair was still scattered behind her head.Shen Qing frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Da Lang, come and sit."

Cui Miao was a little puzzled, but still acted according to her words, just sat down, before asking what was going on, she felt that her hair was being picked up carefully, and Shen Qing actually took a cloth towel to wipe his hair.

Cui Miao quickly turned her head and said uncomfortably, "Brother Shen, I'll do it myself."

Shen Qing didn't make a sound, nor did he stop his movements. Cui Miao had no choice but to understand Shen Qing's temperament, so he got up to fight with him, so he had to let him go, thinking in his heart: "Isn't it just to help dry your hair, buddy? What's the matter here?"

A quarter of an hour later, when Cui Miao was drowsy, Shen Qing stopped her movements. Cui Miao looked at Shen Qing with sleepy eyes, and asked casually, "Are you all right? Thank you, Big Brother Shen."

"Da Lang go to sleep in my room, leave this to me, it's not too late for us to ask tomorrow."

Cui Miao shook her head, yawned, and said, "No need, Brother Shen, go to sleep. He's tied up like this. He'll be fine. Let's interrogate tomorrow."

Shen Qing was silent for a while, looked at Cui Miao with heavy eyes, and said: "Either you go to sleep in my room, or we go together, just happened to have time to sleep with Da Lang, Qing misses it very much."

"Brother Shen, I will trouble you here, go to bed early, good night."

Although they are buddies, it's awkward for two big men to squeeze into the same bed.

Seeing Cui Miao who seemed to be running away, Shen Qing's eyes darkened, he sighed a long time, went to the door and fastened the door again, pulled off the masked man's veil, a strange face appeared in front of Shen Qing.The man is about 30 years old, with a very ordinary appearance, the kind that is thrown into the crowd and is difficult to spot at a glance.

Shen Qing frowned, but didn't intend to delve into it, turned around and came to the bed, closed his clothes and lay down on it.

Early the next morning, Cui Miao got up and called the waiter to call the shopkeeper up. The shopkeeper was unknown, so when he came to the room, he was startled, and the eyes he looked at Cui Miao and the two suddenly changed. .

Cui Miao hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, we stayed overnight yesterday. We didn't want thieves to break into the room in the middle of the night. They would kill anyone they saw. I came to ask you, do you know this person?"

The shopkeeper said in astonishment: "A thief? How is that possible? Fulaiju has been in business for more than ten years, and nothing like this has ever happened."

"Whether it happened before or not, a thief did enter my room last night." Cui Miao said, looking at the dagger beside the bed, and said, "Here, that is the murder weapon of the thief, and he broke the bed. Say, do you know this person?"

The shopkeeper looked at the thief who was still unconscious by the bed, looked carefully, and said: "This person seems to have a nice face, he seems to have seen it somewhere before, but he just can't remember it for a while."

Cui Miao nodded and said, "If that's the case, then report it to the officials. Based on the situation last night, he killed more than made money. You can't afford to be involved in a murder case."

The shopkeeper went out with a sad face, Cui Miao was right, he was just a small businessman, he couldn't afford to offend anyone, it was better to report to the official.

After a cup of tea, a team of officials walked in. They were dressed in casual clothes, wore badges to identify their waists, and carried iron rulers and ropes.The leader was a 40-year-old man. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Where is the thief? Who are you?"

Cui Miao took out the tooth card, showed it in front of everyone, and said: "Cui Miao, a hundred households of Yanshan Guard, he is my elder brother."

To avoid complications, Cui Miao did not disclose Shen Qing's identity.

"It turned out to be Cui Baihu, the villain Li Cheng has met the adults." All the servants saluted quickly.

Cui Miao waved her hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite. Li Cheng, you are all locals. Can you recognize this person?"

Li Cheng looked at the thief on the ground, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "My lord, this villain really knows him. His name is Sun Xiu, and he is a policeman from Pingyin County. When he was handling a case, the villain once met him." There has been cooperation. I don't know why he would trouble the adults?"

Cui Miao frowned, looked at Shen Qing, and said, "Sun Xiu? I have never met him before, why did he want to harm me?"

Shen Qing thoughtfully, looked at Li Cheng, and asked, "Do you know Sun Xiu?"

Li Cheng said honestly: "The villain knows Sun Xiu somewhat, but he doesn't know much."

Shen Qing then asked: "Who else is in his family, and what do they do for a living?"

"My parents are still here, they are married and have children. There is also a brother who seems to be a sergeant. The whole family are honest people with their own duties. Why do they do such things now?"

"Sergeant? Do you know where and what his name is?"

Li Cheng said embarrassingly: "I don't know about this villain. Sun Xiu never mentioned it. I don't have a deep friendship with him, so I didn't ask too much."

Cui Miao said with a smile: "If you want to know who he is, wouldn't it be more direct to ask me?"

Cui Miao picked up the teapot on the table, tilted the spout, and the already cold tea poured out, pouring directly on Sun Xiu's face.The stimulation of the cold water, coupled with the water rushing down his head and face, made his breathing difficult, and he was woken up immediately.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Sun Xiu kept coughing, slowly regained consciousness, and opened her eyes to look at everyone.

Seeing that he was awake, Cui Miao squatted down and asked straightforwardly: "Sun Xiu, you and I have never met before, why did you kill me?"

Sun Xiu snorted coldly, turned her head away, and had no intention of answering.

Shen Qing patted Cui Miao and signaled him to get out of the way, Cui Miao didn't hesitate, stood up and made way for him.Shen Qing looked at Sun Xiu indifferently, and asked, "What's your relationship with Sun Ping?"

Sun Xiu was startled, subconsciously looked at Shen Qing, and then said: "Since it is clear, why bother to ask more questions, if you want to kill, you will do as you please, but it's a pity that I failed to avenge my second brother."

Cui Miao was startled when she heard the words, then she frowned and asked, "Are you Sun Ping's elder brother?"

Sun Xiu looked at Cui Miao with hatred, and said angrily: "It's because of you, a traitor, that my second brother was unjustly killed. I only hate that God has no eyes, and I failed to kill you!"

Cui Miao frowned more and more tightly, and her face sank, and said: "Sun Ping's death is related to me, but his death was not wronged at all, let alone framed. He killed two people in one night. , witnesses and material evidence are all there, so why talk about injustice, and how can you frame it?"

Sun Xiu asked questioningly: "Killing two people in a row? Impossible, my second brother is kind-hearted by nature, how could he kill innocent people, it must be framed by you, a traitor!"

"The evidence is convincing. At that time, Sun Ping himself admitted that he killed two people in a row. Dozens of people were present at the time, so you can inquire as you like." Cui Miao said righteously: "I, Cui Miao, behaved well and sat well. thing."

Sun Xiu stared at Cui Miao closely, and saw that he looked calm and did not seem to be lying at all, and began to hesitate in his heart. He murmured, "Impossible, how could my second brother commit murder? Didn't he say that? of,,,,,,"

Cui Miao's eyes turned cold, and she said, "Who is he? You can call him here, and I would like to confront him face to face."

Sun Xiu didn't answer, but struggled.

Shen Qing said flatly: "Murdering an official ordered by the court, as a fast arrester, you should know what will happen."

Sun Xiu's body froze, fear appeared in her eyes for the first time, and it spread rapidly.

Seeing this, Cui Miao said in a timely manner: "If you are willing to tell the truth about the matter, for the sake of not hurting me, I promise to let you live."

Sun Xiu looked at Cui Miao and asked uncertainly, "You, are you serious?"

Cui Miao replied affirmatively: "Of course it is true!"

The hesitation on Sun Xiu's face disappeared, and she said, "Okay, let me tell."

Cui Miao looked at Li Cheng and said with a smile: "Everyone, please go back, I don't plan to pursue this case."
