Chapter 53: Hidden Love

Sure enough, there is a problem!

Li Xiuran's eyes lit up. He learned about the identity of the female corpse and died even worse than that of Zhao Yuanwai. He guessed that the motive for the evil ghost's murder was probably related to the inner sect. He casually tested Li Quan, but unexpectedly he was really cheated.

This expression that is not consistent and concealed is definitely a problem!

Yang Wenxin also noticed the abnormality and shouted in a deep voice: "How many rooms are there?"

"Four rooms, there are really only four rooms."

"Then why did you say there were five rooms just now?"

"The tongue is wrong, Bei Zhi is really just a momentary tongue." Li Quan's face was sweating coldly, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Captain Li, don't be nervous. We're just asking about the situation and we won't eat you." Li Xiuran looked at him with a smile and said, "Please ask Captain Li to take us to this trip. Now I've seen it, so I won't waste Captain Li's time. You can take people back first."

"This..." Li Quan looked at Yang Wenxin hesitantly.

The latter looked cold and said, "Do you still want me to give it to you?"

"No, no, then I will leave first. If you need help from me, go to the yamen to send villains at any time." Li Quan quickly left his words and left as if he ran away.

Chi Qingwan frowned and said, "Why did you let him go? He would definitely know the situation if he spoke in a concealed manner."

"So what if you know? Do you think he dares to say it?" Li Xiuran glanced at her: "I just asked Sun Pei if he knew about Mr. Zhao's enemy. He said he didn't know, and the root was obviously in his place.

Without his orders, would Li Quan dare to speak? Since he can't ask, following him is still inappropriate, why don't he send him away?"

"Yes." Chi Qingwan suddenly realized and frowned again, "Then what should we do next?"

"It's almost noon, let's have some food first. I came here as soon as I got out of seclusion. I was really hungry."

Li Xiuran touched his stomach, then squinted his eyes slightly: "By the way, I'll ask again, what Li Quan dared not say, who is the fifth concubine of Mr. Zhao?"

After saying that, he suddenly remembered Yang Wenxin and hurriedly bowed, "What do you think, sir?"

I almost forgot that he was no longer the leader, and his boss was still by his side, but he actually made a decision without authorization. This is a big taboo, a mistake.

Yang Wenxin glanced at him, her eyes as if she was saying: You asked me what you were doing after you said it, and then said lightly: "As you said, go to have a meal first."

...

Brothels, restaurants and teahouses have been the best place to inquire about news since ancient times.

Li Xiuran and Yang Wenxin, and Chi Qingwan left Zhao Yuanwai's house, she directly found an inn.

As soon as he entered the door, the waiter warmly welcomed him: "Several guest officials, are you a top student or staying in a hotel?"

"Get a few special dishes, and then serve a pot of wine. It's faster and you'll be hungry all morning." Li Xiuran said casually.

"Okay, you can sit here first, and I'll get you there right away." The waiter shouted, led the three of them to an empty table, and also dined the table and chairs with great care.

Li Xiuran, Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan each sat down, and pretended to be nothing, asked casually: "I heard that a family massacre occurred in the county recently, and the famous big merchant Zhao Yuanwai, the county town, was killed. Have you heard of it?"

The waiter smiled and said, "How could I not have heard of such a big thing? I almost heard calluses in my ears these days."

Chi Qingwan asked, "Do you know who the murderer is?"

The waiter smiled dryly and said, "How could I know this? I heard that it seemed like an evil ghost was committing a murder. The method was so cruel. Mr. Zhao's family died miserably, so I don't know the others."

Chi Qingwan immediately looked disappointed.

Li Xiuran smiled and said, "It's such a pity that such a big boss died like this. If he were alive, how much blessing would he have to enjoy in the future?

Mr. Zhao is so rich, his life must have been very exciting before, right? Did he marry a beautiful concubine every now and then and enjoy all the blessings of all the people?"

The waiter immediately showed an envious and gossipy smile: "That's not, Mr. Zhao is so rich, and his life is much more comfortable than ours. The family is beautiful and it is probably comparable to the palace. I heard that he has to start at least a dozen dishes for every meal. The courtesan and concubine have been married many times in recent years. He just married a house a few months ago."

"laugh……"

"Is that a marriage? That's clearly snatched back." There were other customers in the inn, and he immediately sneered when he heard this.

Li Xiuran, Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan all suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they turned around and looked over at the same time.

Li Xiuran pretended to be gossipy and asked, "Is there any hidden truth in it? Can you tell me in detail?"

The man curled his lips and said, "What's the matter? Zhao Yuanwai saw that the young lady was beautiful and became lustful. He wanted to marry her home as a concubine. But the young lady's family was unwilling to do so, so he snatched it."

Chi Qingwan frowned and said, "Langlang Qiankun, he dares to steal people? Does the county government ignore it? Since that girl's family doesn't want to, she must have gone to report to the official position, right?"

"Tsk, if there is no support from the county master, do you think Mr. Zhao dares to be so lawless?" the man sneered.

"The official reported it. I heard that the young lady was the only daughter in her family. The old couple pointed at her to live. The only daughter was stolen. How could the old couple be happy? They reported to the county government that day, but Zhao Yuanwai and the county master all day long called each other brothers. The best one was to wear a pair of pants. It would be strange if the official could be useful."

"It's not just useless, it's better not to report it. Mr. Zhao heard that the old couple reported the case, so he colluded with the county master and turned around and called the old couple slander. In the end, not only did he not rescue his daughter, but he was beaten by the county government."

"The old couple is old, so how can they bear it? After a slap, they were beaten to death without half of their lives. The only daughter was taken away again and there was no one to take care of her. They all died within a few days after returning home. It's so pitiful..."

Several customers around were also interested and went to the gossip together.

"It is really lawless to collude with officials and businessmen, and to take human life into consideration. This dog official..." Chi Qingwan gritted her teeth in anger, and her face turned pale.

"Shh!"

"I dare not say this nonsense. If someone hears it and reports it to the yamen, you will be in trouble."

Someone around reminded.

Chi Qingwan slapped the table angrily: "That dog official, am I still afraid of him?"

I didn't realize that you were still a jealous person... Li Xiuran looked at her and comforted her: "Don't you finish asking, but the old couple is dead. Where is the girl who was snatched home by Mr. Zhao?"

"Dead."

"I heard that after Mr. Zhao knew that the old couple was dead, he was worried that the young lady would escape to Beijing to complain, so he simply killed her and wiped her out."

"No, right? Why did I hear that the young lady was pregnant? Mr. Zhao's first wife was worried that she would fight for her family property with her son in the future, so she poisoned her to death by drugging?"

"Hey, no matter what, people are dead anyway."
