Chapter 17 Are you trying to confuse everyone?

At dusk, the spectators on the deck presumably began to disperse, and there were scattered footsteps in the corridor.

Xue Yu spread out the map and glanced at it, then saluted Shen Qingling, and said: "I will first thank Mrs. Shen on behalf of my father and His Highness who is far away in Bianjing. I wonder if Mrs. Shen can help me with anything? But said No problem."

If Xue Yu is smart, that's where he's smart.

He was curious about Shen Qingling's purpose and wanted to explore Shen Qingling's details, but he insisted on waiting until the last moment before he asked for his words of thanks.Even if Shen Qingling knew that he was asking this question to find out, the disgust would be much lighter.

"Mr. Xue Lang doesn't need to be too polite. The granary is a burden on people's livelihood. If Mr. Xue can find out as soon as possible, it will be for the benefit of the people in the world." Shen Qingling said perfunctorily.

Thinking that Li Yu might have the same experience, Shen Qingling felt a little queasy in her heart. Li Yu is a prince, if he makes a move, Shen Qingling will not escape no matter how capable she is.

You can't have too many entanglements with Xue Yu——

Shen Qingling thought so, looked at Xue Yu as usual, and said: "My servant hasn't seen me for a long time, and I'm afraid I'm going to look for Boss Mo later. If Mr. Xue Lang has nothing to do, I really have to go back."

This time Xue Yu didn't stop him anymore, and after another salute, he sent Shen Qingling out of the door.

Someone had just died on board, but there was no smell of blood in the corridor, and there was no panic when watching the speech and behavior of the guests. I think that Yi Feng was really thorough in doing things, and he didn't miss any tricks.

Walking out of Xue Yu's room and turning left, Shao Congzheng folded his arms, leaning against the pillar of the porch in a daze.Seeing Shen Qingling approaching, he quickly spit out the hay in his mouth, then walked over quickly, gestured to Shen Qingling with the fingers in the sleeve.

six.

"Go back and talk." Shen Qingling hissed calmly, holding Shao Cong's clothes by the hand, and leading him to her room.

At that time, Pingniang and Uncle Fu were facing each other, they opened the door and they were discussing something, Shaoying and Yingxiu stood behind them, nodding their heads from time to time and echoing a few words.

Seeing Shen Qingling open the door, Yingxiu hurriedly cleaned her hands and hurriedly followed.It's just that she didn't follow Shen Qingling and Shao Cong into the house, but guarded the door, standing straight.

Ping Niang also wanted to move.

Uncle Fu quickly grabbed her, pointed to the blueprint on the table with the other hand, and said, "The second lady is getting older and has her own ideas. If she doesn't say it now, it's because the time has not come. Why are you so anxious? Why don't you hurry up and finalize the plan?" Come down, so that when we arrive in Yangzhou, we can immediately have a place to stay."

What was placed on the table were the drawings of courtyards inside and outside Yangzhou City that were recently intended to be sold. There were about twenty sheets gathered together, all of which Uncle Fu managed to get from the boatman, and the price was not cheap.

According to Uncle Fu, they don't have enough money, so they should go to the outskirts of the city to live first, and then make other plans, but Pingniang thinks that the outskirts of the city are cheaper, but they lack a lot of daily life.

Shaoying was pulled over by Uncle Fu. As an outsider, he can't tell what's good and what's not. He just echoes from the sidelines, and occasionally provides some useful information from the perspective of a bodyguard.

Shen Qingling's room was extremely quiet.

One of them is half-bent and drawing, while the other is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, spinning around in place.

"you--"

As soon as Shao Cong opened his mouth, he met Shen Qingling's cold eyes, so he could only swallow back what he was going to say, and waited for her to finish the task at hand.

This painting took half an hour.

"Let's talk." Shen Qingling held up the newly drawn map and blew it, her gaze turned gentle, and she asked softly: "Six what? There are six people related to Xiao Qiyue on board?"

"Six people." Shao Cong thought for a while and continued: "I followed your instructions and turned around a few times below, and found a few people sneaking around, as if they were waiting for someone, so I kept my eyes open and mingled with them. Watch their actions in the crowd."

At the beginning, these people were still patient, but when Shao Cong found a roll of straw mats with a bloody smell from the upper cabin, those people panicked, whispering and scratching their heads from time to time.

Later, when Xiao Qiyue went down the stairs, one of the more stable men plucked up his courage and went quietly to find Xiao Qiyue.After that, about half an hour later, the man came back with a happy face, talked with the others for a while, and then scattered.

From Shao Cong's words, the time should be after Xiao Qiyue's murder.

"The one in the upper cabin died." She drew a cross on the room of the man surnamed Wu, and explained: "The murderer is indeed Xiao Qiyue, but the panicked people below may be related to Xiao Qiyue." Qi Yue has nothing to do with it."

Shao Cong was stunned when he heard that, raised his hand and scratched his head, and asked in puzzlement: "It's irrelevant? Then why are they so panicked? Why did Xiao Qiyue kill this person?"

The map redrawn by Shen Qingling's hand is much smaller than the original one, but the general orientation is good, and the names are written one by one based on memory, so it is very suitable for detailed explanation at this time.

As for the details of the goods in the bottom warehouse, Shen Qingling doesn't want to take care of it now, and can't take care of it.

Helping solve Xiao Qiyue is the only thing she can do at the moment. As for whether the people under Xiao Qiyue have colluded with the officials in the court, and whether they have secretly sold new food, that is for the court to investigate. nothing to do.

"The dead man you saw was working for Xiao Qiyue. He has been secretly purchasing food for Xiao Qiyue." Shen Qingling rested her chin on one hand and tapped on the table with the other hand, saying: "But he will The food purchased was ambiguous and offended Xiao Qiyue, so Xiao Qiyue ordered him to liquidate him directly and peeled off his skin. And the men in the lower cabin should be with him, because they knew he was liquidated, That's why you panic."

Shen Qingling didn't want to go into details about the bloody matter, so she said again: "Leaving aside these people, apart from the people at the lower level, I'm still not sure if there is anyone at the upper level who has anything to do with Xiao Qiyue...so , What do you think are currently feasible methods?"

She wanted to try to guide Shao Cong to think.

But Shao Cong obviously didn't think too much about it, so he just said ah, frowned and said, "Then why don't you catch Xiao Qiyue first, didn't you ask Liu Xiuwen for the drug? You just got lost."

This method cannot be said to be wrong.

Shen Qingling sighed, closed her eyes and picked the medicine powder held by the yellow paper beside her, and explained: "Those people below, you just kill them and throw them into the river, this medicine bag...you give it to me One person, let him lie down in the canteen dinner half an hour later."

Shao Cong's eyes widened suddenly, and he stammered, "You, are you going to fascinate everyone?"

Soon, he shook his head again and said, "But you don't have enough medicine powder, do you?"
