After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 299 Slums

Later, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Yu Linlang and Chi Tu came out of the charity cemetery holding umbrellas, and waved their hands to tell the old man who was looking after the charity cemetery not to see them off.

"Where does Qian Mao live?" Yu Linlang asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Gu followed closely behind the two and quickly replied, "They live on Xiliutou Street, which is a bit remote. If we go there now, the adults won't have time to go back for dinner."

Yu Linlang nodded, "Well, let's go now and buy some food on the way."

"Yes, sir." Xiao Gu hurried forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Yu Linlang and Chi Tu got into the car one after another and brushed off the raindrops that had stuck to their bodies.

The horse's hooves clattered on the wet flagstone floor, heading west.

"Sir, what are we going to Qian Mao's house for?" Xiao Gu was a little confused.

Seeing this, Chi Tu raised his hand and patted his head, "Pig, what else can you do? Of course, go find the murder weapon. I told you to observe carefully and use your brain more, but you can't see anything."

Xiao Gu shrank his head pitifully, "I am not the type to use my brain."

Yu Linlang looked through the report that Chi Tu had just written, and then compared it with the previous report from Jingzhao Prefecture, and was speechless for a long while.

"Don't look at it anymore. You won't see many flowers blooming if you look at it any more." Chi Tu took the Jingzhao Prefecture certificate from her hand, "It will only make you angry."

Xiao Gu took it and looked at it, grinning, "How come this report is written even more sloppily than mine? It even suspects that the two sides pushed and shoved each other to death, which means the cause of death is uncertain."

Who would write a report like this? It's the same as not having done any report at all!
Their family's adults are really capable. They can determine the cause of death at a glance and will summon both parties to court tomorrow!
Chi Tu raised his hand to hit him, "You still have the nerve to laugh, do you know how sloppy you are? Why don't you learn more from me in the future?"

"Yes, yes, sir, please stop hitting me. The more you hit me, the more stupid I will become."

The group didn't reach Xiliutou Street until it was almost dark, and they stopped at a bun shop to buy some meat and vegetable buns to fill their stomachs.

"Heizi, go directly to Qian Mao's house. It's crowded here, so be careful." Xiaogu lifted the curtain and gave the order.

"Yes, sir." The coachman nodded, lit the lantern and hung it in front of the carriage, held the reins steadily with both hands, and let the horse go as close to the street as possible.

There are mostly short bungalows in the Xiliutou Street area, which are very closely packed together.

The road was very narrow and a bit bumpy, only wide enough for one carriage to pass through, and one had to control the reins from time to time to avoid stepping on other people's doorsteps.

Yu Linlang and the other two were shaken in the carriage for a while before it finally stopped next to an earth wall.

"Sir, this is it." Heizi helped them lift the car curtain, and the three of them jumped out of the car one after another.

Yu Linlang narrowed her eyes and looked at the small courtyard. "This?"

"Well, there are quite a lot of courtyard houses where several families live together on Xiliutou Street. The ones with slightly better conditions are all small bungalows built by themselves. You can see them all along the way. They are crowded together."

"Every household here is reluctant to light candles or lamps at night, so this area is pitch black. Please be careful where you step."

This environment is incomparable to Nanchi Street, where the wealthy circles are concentrated, and even East Cross Street.

Yu Linlang had the impression that there were quite a lot of tall buildings in the capital, and this area was probably the poorest part of the capital.

Chi Tu took her arm and smiled, "Let's go in and take a look. The West District has always been like this, with a mixed crowd, many people, many things to do, and crowded housing. It's certainly incomparable to the South and the East."

Xiao Gu had already stepped forward and started knocking on the door. It took a long time before someone came and pulled the door open.

"Who is it late at night?"

As soon as they met, the woman opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Sir? You... why are you here so late? Come in, come in and sit down, sir." "You are Aunt Cai."

"Yes, yes, your Excellency has a very good memory." Aunt Cai smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly opened the door, then bent down to remove the threshold, "Do you want to bring the carriage in as well?"

Yu Linlang hurriedly stopped her, "No, no, let's talk to Qian Mao himself. Is it okay to park the car at the door?"

"It's okay, it's okay. No one will come here at night. Please come in, sir."

Yu Linlang and Chitu Xiaogu walked in. "So you are neighbors like this. You all live in the same compound?"

"Yes, yes." Aunt Cai nodded repeatedly, holding the candle and moving it upwards, pointing at the dark wooden window, "Mrs. Dazhuang's room and Granny Li's room are over there. These two rooms are my room and Qian Mao's."

"I forgot to ask you this afternoon. What was the dispute between Qian Mao's family and Li Cuihua about that day?"

"Oh, this is all the fault of Qian Mao's family. She was the one who started it. She poured a basin of black laundry water onto the window of Granny Li's house across the street."

"Why did she do this?" Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Why? It's just that I don't like Cuihua's family." Aunt Cai said this mysteriously and nodded at Yu Linlang, "Sir, I'll tell you a secret. Qian Mao has secretly developed feelings for Cuihua, and everyone in this courtyard can see it."

"Qian Mao's wife is also a fool. She can't control her husband and she keeps looking for trouble with Cuihua every other day. Cuihua is not someone to be trifled with. After a while, the two of them are at loggerheads and the quarrel is getting more and more fierce."

"She gets beaten up by Qian Mao every day, and yet she thinks that others are interested in her man who works at the dock. How ridiculous."

Yu Linlang nodded slightly, thanked Aunt Cai, and asked Xiao Gu to knock on Qian Mao's door.

Aunt Cai was happy to watch the fun, so she followed the knock on the door and shouted, "Qian Mao, are you sleeping soundly? The officials from Jingzhao Prefecture are here to investigate..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a "click" sound coming from the rear window.

Yu Linlang called out expressionlessly, "Snake drum."

Xiao Gu immediately flew onto the roof and came back soon carrying a droopy-looking man.

"Sir, it's unfair, I am innocent!" As soon as the man got off the ground, he kowtowed and begged for mercy, shouting "It's unfair".

"Why are you running?" Yu Linlang shouted in annoyance.

Such a loud commotion in the yard had already alarmed several other families.

Granny Li, Da Zhuang's mother and Da Zhuang's father all put on their clothes and went out. When they found Qian Mao kneeling on the ground crying, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"Why are you crying? You must be feeling guilty." Yu Linlang was speechless. "I haven't asked anything yet!"

"grown ups!"

"Alright, alright, get out of the way. You don't need to explain. Let Heizi come in and watch this man. Xiaogu, come in with us and search together."

"Yes!"

In less than half an incense stick of time, the three men put the things into evidence bags and carried them out.

"Take him back with you."

"Yes!"

Granny Li walked forward excitedly and bowed down to him, "Sir, sir, is there any progress in the case of my daughter-in-law?"

Yu Linlang asked Xiao Gu to hold the person, walked over and said to her with a smile, "Mother-in-law, you can go to Jingzhao Prefecture to attend the trial at noon tomorrow."
