Chapter 65

"Childe Gu's clothes have been found. Fortunately, the servant went early and the servants in the house are preparing to burn them."

The young man took out a purse and jade bracelet from his sleeve, put them on his hands and said, "the clothes are dirty and dilapidated. The servant has looked for them carefully. There is only this jade bracelet and purse in the clothes. There is nothing else. Look, childe Gu. What you want to find, but these two?"

"Yes, that's what I'm looking for. Thank you."

Lin Qingqian took the purse and jade bracelet to Gu Changgeng. The young man bent down and saluted and said, "the slave retired first. Mr. Gu and miss three will call the slave again if they have something to say."

After the boy retired, Lin Qingqian looked at Gu Changgeng with a puzzled look.

Before she could ask the question in her heart, Gu Changgeng said, "I almost lost it. Fortunately, the boy just came back."

"Brother Changgeng, this purse and bracelet are very heavy for you..."

Gu Changgeng handed the jade bracelet to Lin Qingqian. "On the day I left the house, I went to Qingcheng square and redeemed the bracelet you mortgaged in Qingcheng square. Take it. Don't mortgage or lose it at will. This is the relic left by your mother. It should be very important."

Lin Qingqian suddenly remembered that the jade bracelet was left to the original body by the fifth lady. She had not seen it carefully before. After she mortgaged it out, she forgot that Gu Changgeng had deliberately redeemed it.

Lin Qingqian put on the jade bracelet and said, "thank you, brother Changgeng."

Gu Changgeng coughed with an unnatural look: "you don't have to thank me. This bracelet was meant to help me repair the jade pendant. I should help you redeem it."

"But if I hadn't forced brother Chang Geng out of the house and you wanted to redeem the bracelet for me, you wouldn't have been seriously injured by thieves and almost..."

Lin Qingqian's guilt is true at the moment.

She was not the original body. This bracelet was insignificant to her, but it almost killed him.

"Don't think about it. If you hadn't tried to stop the two thieves several times, I'm afraid I would have died and become the soul under their sword."

Thinking of Lin Qingqian's firm look that day and coming back to save him without fear of danger, Gu Changgeng felt warm in his heart.

"But..."

Before all the words were heard, a little boy's voice came from outside the door: "son of the world, Lord Jiang."

The door of the wing room was pushed open, and Shen Fei led a man in official clothes in his early thirties.

"Miss three, you're here. It happens that Lord Jiang doesn't have to go to the prime minister's house again."

Seeing Lin Qingqian's puzzled eyes looking at the man, Shen Fei smiled and said, "this is Jiang Chongqing, the minister in charge of the Ministry of punishment. He was ordered by the emperor to judge the assassination of Childe Gu."

Jiang Chongqing bowed forward and said, "Mr. Gu, miss three, I have been ordered by the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly. Recently, the thief has been caught. I came to ask for some details."

Gu Changgeng and Lin Qingqian looked at each other, got up and blessed their bodies, and said, "Lord Jiang, I will tell you all I know."

Jiang Chongqing nodded, took out two portraits from his sleeves, spread them out in front of the two people, and said, "this is the portrait of two thieves that I ordered the painter to draw. Please look, childe Gu and miss three. The person in this portrait is the thief who killed with a sword that day?"

Gu Changgeng and Lin Qingqian looked at the portrait carefully and recognized at a glance that they were the two men in black who were pursued and killed that day. They had rough faces, fierce eyes and a look of ferocity.

Lin Qingqian nodded and said, "yes, it was these two who chased me and brother Changgeng that day."

Jiang Chongqing said, "I know. The case can be closed. I will go to the palace and report the details of the case to the emperor."

Lin Qingqian shouted to Jiang Chongqing, "Lord Jiang, please wait."

"Miss three, but there's something else to say?"

"Yes, since the thief has been arrested, has the thief ever explained who ordered them to hurt brother Changgeng's life?"

"This..."

Jiang Chongqing paused, thought for a moment, and said, "during the trial, the two confessed and no one instructed them. The two families were poor. When they saw that childe Gu was well-dressed and alone, they had a bad intention and wanted to rob some silver. They followed childe Gu all the time. Later, they saw that the third young lady was only carrying a servant girl. They were even more open to money and decided to start."

Lin Qingqian and Gu Changgeng frowned at the same time.

Such words can never be true. Gu Changgeng wore ordinary clothes that day. In addition, the two men in black made deadly moves. They never asked a word about money from beginning to end. It seemed that they wanted to take people's lives.

Seeing that they were silent, Shen Fei asked suspiciously, "but is there anything wrong?"

Lin Qingqian gently shook his head, "it's just a little strange. If they just want to rob money, they're too heavy. It's like... They just want to take people's lives."

"The two thieves explained that they had been unable to succeed all the time. They were anxious for fear of being caught by the guards in the city. They wanted to do it all the time, and the attack was heavier."

"Oh, I see." Lin Qingqian pretended to be enlightened and asked, "what will the two thieves do after the criminal Department has decided?"

Jiang Chongqing said, "the two thieves knew they could not escape the death penalty. Early this morning, they committed suicide in prison."

Lin Qingqian frowned tighter.

Commit suicide?

Aren't the people behind us afraid to find out what to do and kill people?

Jiang Chongqing naturally has doubts, but the man is dead and the clue has been broken. The emperor ordered to find out the truth quickly. He can only hastily close the case as soon as possible.

Shen Fei saw that Jiang Chongqing was in a hurry to leave. He said, "Lord Jiang is in a hurry to enter the palace and face the saint. My son will not leave you for tea. Please give me a gift to Lord Jiang."

"Well, thank you, Shizi Shen."

When they left the wing room, Lin Qingqian looked at Gu Changgeng with a dark look and asked, "brother Changgeng, do you think those two people are really murdering for money?"

Gu Changgeng pulled the corners of his mouth, and the irony flashed through his eyes, so fast that Lin Qingqian didn't find it.

He said: "Lord Jiang has a clear understanding of the situation. He has been interrogated. He must be right."

"But..." Lin Qingqian thought and swallowed his words.

Even if they insist that the other party is not murdering for money, now there is no proof of death, and what results can be found out.

Lin Qingqian was a little upset with a breath in his chest.

Gu Changgeng restrained his emotions, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly said, "if you encounter danger again in the future, remember, protecting yourself is the most important."

Lin Qingqian was stunned, "ah?" "Elder brother Chang Geng said I went back that day?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the carelessness of those two people, you... The consequences would be unimaginable."

Lin Qingqian blinked his black and white eyes for a moment, then muttered, "but I can't leave brother Changgeng alone. I don't want you to have anything..."

Gu Changgeng tightened his thin lips.

At this moment, he wanted to reach out and touch Lin Qingqian's head, but there was no action. Shen Fei sent Jiang Chongqing back.

Shen Fei said with a smile, "miss three, it's time to have lunch. My son asked someone to prepare lunch. How about having lunch together today?"
