Chapter 191 The Secret
Although this place is not the ancestral home of Youhai, before dawn, all the men in the Chi family bathed incense and worshiped their ancestors. Before the chickens could call out, they used a sumptuous meal, set off firecrackers, and then paid New Year's greetings.
The people in the Chi family's house knew what happened in the palace yesterday and were a little depressed. They knew that the face of the Chi family's ancestors would not be as good as they would, and they dispersed early.
Chi Shi woke up and couldn't sleep, so he rode the jar alone and walked out the door.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were the sound of firecrackers everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of fireworks. However, at this moment, there were no people in the street market, and they were empty, and only occasionally they would meet guards patrolling the city.
"Chi Junzhu, why did you come out so early?"
Chi Shi listened, and when he turned around, he looked at the leader of the cavalry and turned his horse to walk towards her. When she looked carefully, she was quite surprised, "Brother Tao turned out to be in the army?"
Tao Xun turned over and got off the horse. After coming out of the Tao family, his spirit changed. His waist was straight and he looked particularly majestic.
"Now in the peaceful and prosperous era, we are just patrolling the city, catching a few robbers and robbers to make a living. Chi Junji investigates the case in the future. If you want to find someone or something, just come to find me. Brother Tao doesn't have the ability next to you, and he is very familiar with the corners of the capital."
Chi Shi's eyes moved, "That's just right for you to show me a way. Do you know where the Ma Censor's Mansion is?"
Last night, she met the young man Ma Changchuan Jingzhao Mansion complained. She always felt uneasy. She had nothing to do today and wanted to go to the nearby area to inquire.
Tao Xun frowned and waved to the soldiers waiting for him, signaling them to leave first.
He pulled Chi Shi aside and lowered his voice, "Do you know something happened in Ma's Censor's Mansion last night?"
Chi Shi was stunned and shook his head, "What's wrong?"
Tao Xun's voice was a little lower, "Last night when we were patrolling the city, a young man rushed out of the Ma Jingshi's house. I looked at it, it should be Ma Changchuan. As soon as he saw us, he became anxious and angry and said that his sister was lost."
"It's natural that a young lady disappeared during the New Year. However, before we can confirm, Ma Censor Liu rushed out and grabbed Ma Changchuan's ear, saying that he didn't learn well, and he was shocked all day long."
"I also said that Ma Xiaoma and Ma Changchuan are twins with one child and have a good relationship. This year, he sent Ma Xiaoma to his grandfather's house. Ma Changchuan was unhappy and was making trouble at home! He did not lose his people at all."
"If the victim doesn't sue, we won't pay attention to it."
Chi Shi's brows were locked tightly, "How did Brother Tao know that Mrs. Ma was telling a lie?"
Tao Xun sighed, "I have seen a lot of human feelings in the capital. Ma Xiaochuan was obviously anxious and scared, and even spoke in tears. Something must have happened to Ma Xiaoma."
"Madam Ma is easier to understand. It is difficult for women these days. Whether the young lady is kidnapped or playful, it is all a matter of bad reputation. The Censor Ma pays great attention to the reputation of women. Women with the surname Ma are not allowed to be concubines or remarry..."
"Even if their daughter-in-law is a widow, she will not be able to go out again."
Tao Xun said, paused, thought for a while, and said, "Chi Corps, although I don't know what happened to Ma Xiaoma, if it is related to reputation, then Ma Ma doesn't want to make a statement, it is normal for him to say it."
"If you investigate this matter, you have to be very cautious."
At this time, women's reputation is more and more famous than the sky. Most people are flirted with it, so they will swallow their anger and dare not speak out. After all, if others know it, it will not only be a shame, but also a life.
Chi Shi nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that he knew something, Tao Xun didn't interfere much, he raised his hand and pointed, "The Ma Yunshi's family lives in the third alley heading north on Changming Street. The first one he entered is. I still have to go back and exchange defenses with the next team of brothers patrolling the city."
"Thank you, Brother Tao. I can go by myself."
"Well, if there is anything, come and find me." Tao Xun said, turning over and chasing the person in front of him.
Chi Shi watched him go away and touched the donkey's head, "Jing, go."
Changming Street is a wide main street. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. All the shops are closed, and it becomes particularly quiet. Through the street market, the Ma Jingshi's home will soon arrive.
Chi Shi turned over and got off the donkey. Just as he was thinking of looking for someone to inquire, he heard Zhou Xian's voice, "Ashi, I knew you would come."
Chi Shixun looked over, and a carriage was parked next to the alley, with the curtains lifted open, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.
"Why do you have you everywhere? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't you have to go to the palace? That's right, now with Guan Yi, one more you are not more, one less you are not less."
Zhou Xian touched his nose. Today he was holding a paper fan with four big words "vulgar and auspiciousness" written on it, making some of the Kings of Chu who were like banished immortals feel like New Year's atmosphere.
Before he could speak, he saw the corner door of the Ma family opened with a bang. An old woman poked her head out and looked around. Seeing that no acquaintance was going out, she waved to the inside.
After a while, a coffin was quietly lifted out of it.
The woman put on a hat and waved, "Go ahead quickly, don't delay things."
The coffin was only halfway through, and someone grabbed it. Ma Changchuan's roar came out, "Don't bury it! Don't bury it! I'm going to report to the official and tear the dog thief who killed my sister to pieces!"
"Changchuan, Changchuan, my mother begs you, stop making trouble, okay? Let your sister go away peacefully, and it will be a disaster to live. If you are so loud, people will hear you, even if she dies, she will die with her eyes!"
"Just think that my mother begged you. If you do this again, your father will definitely tie you up and beat you to death!"
Chi Shi heard a bang, and Ma Changchuan didn't know what he did. The coffin fell heavily to the ground. Several sedan chairmen carrying the coffin were shocked and jumped away quickly. If the coffin hit the foot, it would not be broken.
"Face! Face! Is face bigger than human life? If the dog thief doesn't catch it for a day, there will be someone, like my sister! My brother is useless, I wish I could die with A sister!"
"But if we don't go, there will be another brother who will be in pain like me! My mother, my face cannot be eaten! Today, my father will sweep my Ma Changchuan out, and I will report this official!"
"If Jingzhao Mansion doesn't care, then I will go to the King of Chu Mansion. Your Highness the King of Chu will definitely take care of it!"
Zhou Xian listened, shook the fan in his hand, and led the pool into the alley, "I care."
