Mr. Zhao didn't understand the meaning of this at first, but soon he knew what Chu Qing meant.

Axe, saw, chisel... Listening to Chu Qing's repeated reports on the tools he needed, Mr. Zhao's face became paler and paler.

Just now, he saw Chu Qing taking a child with his own eyes, but at this moment he didn't dare to look at the situation in the room again. He turned around and went down the steps, stood in the yard, and heard the sound of chisel sawings coming from time to time in the west wing room.

I can't imagine what's going on in the room.

After about a meal, Chu Qing finally came out.

Mr. Zhao looked in the voice, and the women hanging on the tree even raised their heads, looking at Chu Qing with mercy, as if waiting for the final judgment.

Chu Qing only looked at Mr. Zhao, his expression was as indifferent as water.

"The deceased is a woman, five feet and two inches long, about twenty-two to twenty-five years old, and is nine months pregnant. She died last night between the middle of Hai and the beginning of Chou. She was wearing white silk, bamboo leaves, and stands in the middle of the collar,

Wearing an emerald orchid hairpin on the head, the body is full and slender, the skin is fair, there is a red mole of bean size on the outside of the Zhongguan point of the left arm. The hair is thick and shiny, the teeth are complete, there is no obvious external trauma all over the body, and no abnormalities are seen between the mouth and nose.

There were no signs of poisoning in the gastrointestinal and blood, and no organic lesions were found in the internal organs. The possibility of asphyxiation, poisoning and death from illness was ruled out..."

The series of professional terms made everyone in the room confused, but everyone understood the last sentence.

Several concubines kneeling on the ground suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a woman in pink and green clothes took the lead in crying: "Master, did you hear it? It's really not the poison we made..."

Mr. Zhao didn't seem to hear their aggrieved cry. His scarlet eyes were staring at the small swaddle on the kang by the window. His face turned from blue to white, and then from white to blue. It took him a while to control his voice.

Sheng asked, "Then how did she die?"

Chu Qing paused and continued: "The deceased's heart was covered with red rose-colored blood spots, myocardial fibers were lacerated, and there were a lot of signs of bleeding inside and outside the ventricle. This is the real cause of her death."

Myocardial tear? A lot of bleeding?

Mr. Zhao slowly turned to Chu Qing, with unconcealed shock in his eyes: "You mean, someone beat her and suffered internal injuries?"

After all, he has been an official and has a good understanding ability, but his guess is still very different from the facts.

Fortunately, Chu Qing had already gotten used to this situation. She patiently explained as much as possible: "In a specific situation, the adrenal glands will suddenly release a large amount of catecholamines, which will prompt the heartbeat to suddenly accelerate and blood pressure will increase.

The oxygen consumption of myocardial metabolism increases dramatically. Excessively rapid blood circulation hits the heart like a flood, causing myocardial fibers to tear, heart bleeding, leading to cardiac arrest and death."

Looking at the room full of people with ducks on their faces listening to thunder, Chu Qing took a deep breath.

"In short, she died of fright."

Fright! What kind of fright is it that scares a person to death?!

After reaching this conclusion, Mr. Zhao's face turned blue and white, and a sharp anger gradually condensed in his eyes.

"How could Mei Niang be scared to death? What's going on?"

Facing the angry Mr. Zhao, everyone was suddenly silent. But Chu Qing, who was shrouded in the glaring eyes of Mr. Zhao, still looked calm and gentle.

She threw the blood-stained cloth in her hand to the ground and said lightly: "I am only responsible for burying the body. If you want to find the murderer, you should go and look for the constable."

It was not until noon that Chu Qing walked out of Zhao's mansion.

Xiaoman was already impatient when he was waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, his eyes lit up. He was about to pounce on her, and he saw the blood on her body and stopped immediately.

"All done?" Although she didn't dare to get close, she didn't delay her asking questions like a cannon, "The people in the mansion don't have trouble for you, right? Are you tired after being busy for a long time? Yes, how much did Mr. Zhao give you

tips?"

Looking at his excited look, Chu Qing frowned and stopped: "Xiaoman, remember not to pull me into the water next time something like this."

Chu Qing felt a trembling when he thought of Mr. Zhao. Thinking about what Mr. Zhao said just now, Aunt Mei was often poisoned by concubines in the yard, his expression and tone were abnormal, which always made people feel that Aunt Mei was not his woman.

"Hey, Chu Qing, you can't be like this!" Xiaoman looked around and lowered his voice, looking at her with anticipation, "The Zhao family is a wealthy family. Even if you don't have a tael of silver, you can still do it.

Eight hundred dollars, you and Master Zhang can't make that much money even if you are two years old in the county government."

Seeing Xiaoman's lustful appearance, Chu Qing glanced at him slantedly, took out a pack of heavy things from his sleeve and stuffed them into Xiaoman's arms. Xiaoman eagerly opened the bag.

"Five, fifty taels of silver!" Xiaoman's eyes suddenly widened, and he staggered and almost fell down. After calming down for a while, he shouted in disbelief, "That's great, I

I knew this was a fat man!”

He was so happy that he actually grabbed Chu Qing's hand: "With these fifty taels of silver, he is well developed. There is no need to repair a house at all. You can buy a house directly in the town!"

How have children who grew up in villages like them ever seen such a large sum of money?

After the real cause of Aunt Mei's death was found, Mr. Zhao took out fifty taels of silver to reward her. Chu Qing thought that this was the hush money given to her by Mr. Zhao.

Seeing Xiaoman's excited look, Chu Qing's heart was deep, and he always had an unknown premonition in his heart.

"So much money, have you...you have figured out how to spend it?"

"I didn't think about it." Chu Qing crossed Xiaoman and said, "You like to take this money!"

*

This day is the day when the master comes back. Early in the morning, Chu Qing got up early, cleaned the inside and outside of the yard, and picked up a few eggs from the chicken coop and put them on the kitchen stove to keep.

Making supper.

On weekdays, these eggs are kept for money, and the master is reluctant to eat them. Even if a few of them are left occasionally, they are given to Chu Qingzhe.

Seeing the sun set, Chu Lian never came back.

Chu Qing looked forward to the gate of the courtyard for a long time until the gorgeous sunset filled the sky, and only then did he see a figure appearing at the intersection of the village entrance.

She was delighted, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she saw the figure clearly. The man was wearing a green hat and a long and thin figure, and was obviously a young man.

The man stopped at the entrance of the village and said a few words to the Grandma Tian who was collecting a tea stall. Chu Qing only saw Grandma Tian pointing in the direction of her family, and the man walked towards her.

It was already dark, and when the man approached, Chu Qing saw clearly that it was a servant in green, looking like he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

The servant walked straight to Chu Qing, looked her up and down, and said coldly: "You are the apprentice of the lame Zhang?"

Hearing this sentence, Chu Qing's heart was covered with a faint cloud for some reason.

She didn't know this person, but it was obvious that this person was here to find her.

"Yes." She answered briefly, unable to help but ask, "What's the matter with me? Where is my master?"

The servant's words were like a thunderbolt, instantly exploding in Chu Qing's ears.

"Your master is in Longmen Town, hurry up and collect the body with me."

A guest died? A corpse was collected?

Chu Qing only felt that it was dark in front of her eyes, and the earth shrouded in twilight seemed to flip over. She needed to hold the door frame tightly to support herself from falling down.

"You, what did you say?" She couldn't repeat the word, but just burst out from her teeth with difficulty.

How she hoped that something was wrong with her ears, how she hoped that all this was just her nightmare, but even though her nails were deeply embedded in the decayed wooden frame, her heart was so painful that her heart was tight, the impatient face of the servant in the blue clothes was still

Unwilling to disappear from her, every mean word spoken was like a sharp sword, piercing her body without mercy.

"The lame man is dead!" The servant looked up at the sky, and became more and more patient. "Stop being slow, it's dark, follow me quickly!"

The last bit of sunset sank from the sky, and the entire Guqiao Village was shrouded in the gloomy night. There was a cold night breeze blowing from somewhere, making Chu Qing’s whole body cold.

When I spoke again, it seemed that even the sound was no longer my own.

"How is it possible? How could my master die so well? What's going on?"

The girl's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, and the servant was shocked because he suddenly heard the bad news.

When he came to his senses, his impatient tone was filled with a strong contempt.

"What are you calling? The lame man Zhang went to the noble family for an autopsy. He stole the noble family's things and ran away for fear of crime. He ended up falling into the well. If the noble person was not magnanimous and would not be investigated, even your life would not be saved! You still have the face

Called here? Are you afraid that others will not know that your master is a thief?"

The servant's voice was higher than the other, and every sentence was righteous, as if this could suppress Chu Qing's questioning.

At this time, Chu Qing had no time to care whether the neighbor would hear it. He was so angry that he was filled with grief and anger by the servant's words, and a heat surged upwards.

The master stole something? How is this possible!

Yes, they are from low-class families, poor families are untouchables, but the master has always taught her to be honest and have backbone even when she is poor. How could he steal things?

"Impossible! You are slandering! I'm going--" Chu Qinggang said this and suddenly remembered something and gritted his teeth in an instant.

This time, the master was summoned by the neighboring county government to help solve the case. Can she still go to the county government to complain about the injustice? Just a small untouchable, how could she beat the parents of a county?

Chu Qing, who thought he had already adapted to ancient life, hated this unequal feudal system so much for the first time in seven years.
