Chapter 753 Listening to music in the mourning hall
Fengzhou, Governor's Mansion.
The originally magnificent Governor's Mansion turned into a world of black and white, with black and white soul-inducing flags and wreaths for mourning neatly arranged.
There was also a beautiful woman in front of the mourning hall, singing a sad and moving tune, which seemed to be the governor's favorite tune during his lifetime.
"When I was a hundred years old, I dreamed of a butterfly. It's sad to look back at the past."
"Spring has come today, and the flowers will fade tomorrow. It's time to put out the night light."
"Think of the palaces of Qin and Han, all made of grass, cattle and sheep."
"If you don't let the fishermen and woodcutter have nothing to say, you can't tell the difference between dragons and snakes." Note 1
…
Chu Qianqiu glanced at the woman in front of the mourning hall. The woman was wearing linen and mourning, with tears and pear blossoms, and she looked even more beautiful and charming.
Her slightly weeping tone seemed to be mourning the death of a close friend, and she sang so passionately that it made people cry. Even the guests who came to mourn could not help but stop and watch.
I don’t know if they came to mourn or to listen to music.
How come this kind of woman was invited to sing in front of the mourning hall at the funeral of the Governor-General?]
Is she the concubine of the Governor-General or his wife?]
Chu Qianqiu recalled that he had read information about the Governor of Fengzhou, which seemed to be inconsistent with his wife and concubine.
Although the Governor of Fengzhou claims to have no regard for the Governor, he appears to be very clean in his private life. He only has one wife, who has been dead for many years, and has never remarried, and has never even set foot in Yihongyuan.
It can be said that in terms of female sex, this governor-general has surpassed more than 99 officials in the Shenwu Dynasty, and can be said to be clean and self-sufficient.
As for the person who presided over the funeral, there was only one butler, and the other Qin family members were missing, which made Chu Qianqiu suspicious.
Steward Qin, who is this woman? Is she a relative of the Governor?】
After Chu Qianqiu offered a stick of incense to the Governor, he couldn't help but focus on Butler Qin and asked directly.
At the funeral site, even Lord Zhongwu could not disturb him too much. Chu Qianqiu asked Yang Guang and others to guard outside, and he joined hands with Zen Master Shangguang to offer incense to the Governor and at the same time investigate the situation.
After all, death is a big deal, and even if you want to crush his ashes, you have to wait until the funeral is completed.
To my lord, my favorite was Miss Mengqin from Yuxuan. I often went to Yuxuan to listen to some ditties.】
This girl Mengqin is my old friend.]
The master once said that if he dies, don’t make a fuss and let Miss Mengqin come to the mourning hall and sing a little tune.]
Butler Qin obviously had some feelings for Governor Fengzhou. He answered with tears while presiding over the funeral.
What about the descendants of the Qin family?] Chu Qianqiu continued to ask, regardless of the funeral being held now.
The master’s sons and daughters are not highly skilled in martial arts and have all passed away.】
As for the grandson and granddaughter, they went to Daxia and have not returned yet.]
Butler Qin said in a low voice, making Chu Qianqiu suddenly realize.
It turns out that the Governor of Fengzhou is still a naked official.
All my relatives and family members have gone to Daxia, leaving me alone.
Now that he is dead and the blame is taken back, the entire officialdom of Fengzhou will be stable, and Jingang Temple will not be afraid of being implicated.
As expected, debts are wiped out after death, and everyone lives a clean life.
No matter how many dirty things can be uncovered in Fengzhou, it is absolutely right to blame them all on the Governor.
Lord Zhongwu, I must have been killed.】
Please make the decision for me.】
The steward Qin wiped his tears and said fiercely, which made Chu Qianqiu get to know the steward of Governor Fengzhou again.
He came to greet him actually to avenge the Governor.
Please go into the inner hall to discuss this matter.]
Chu Qianqiu nodded, and after offering incense to the Governor, he and Zen Master Shangguang followed General Manager Qin to a guest room.
"Lord Zhongwu, please make the decision for me."
"Namo Amitabha, why did the donor say this?"
Zen Master Shangguang and Chu Qianqiu were both foxes for thousands of years. As soon as they arrived at Peacock City, the Governor died unexpectedly. This is too false.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that this was a deliberate killing, leaving Governor Qin to take all the blame.
"Master Zhongwu, Master Zen, although I am old, my body is still strong. I can eat three kilograms of beef, two kilograms of wine every day, and can wield a sword of dozens of kilograms. How could I die suddenly?"
"Three days ago, a mysterious man came to see me. After meeting with him, I have been frowning all day long."
"In just a few days, he died suddenly. He must have been killed by thieves."
Butler Qin quickly explained.
"Mysterious man? What does he look like?" Chu Qianqiu's eyes lit up. He was not afraid of strange deaths. Even if he couldn't find the murderer, he could still squat at the crime scene and look for the enemy.
"Old slave, I don't remember..." Butler Qin suddenly frowned. Seeing this, Zen Master Shanggang immediately summoned the Bag-bag Arhat, poured it into it for testing, and immediately shook his head.
Butler Qin's memory has been erased.
"Namo Amitabha, at least he is a master in the realm of manifestation."
"Donor Qin can't remember it, so please don't force yourself to avoid hurting your body."
Butler Qin seemed to understand, and his face turned a little pale. He obviously also knew the terror of a master of this level, who could commit suicide without leaving any traces.
Seeing his fear, Chu Qianqiu said softly:
"Steward Qin, as the saying goes, the hozens scatter when a tree falls. Now that the governor is dead, do you still want to avenge him?"
"Since the governor's children and granddaughter are not here, you can definitely take away part of the property. Wouldn't it be a happy life?"
"What's more, a strong man in the manifest realm is like a god, possessing the power of life and death."
"If you seek revenge against such a strong man, you will escape death."
Butler Qin first took a step back, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Lord Zhongwu, this old slave and that enemy are inseparable!"
"If the Governor hadn't taken him in, the old slave would have been a withered bone in the grave decades ago. How would he be here today?"
"Now that the Governor's death is unknown, how can I not investigate and find out the truth?"
Steward Qin gritted his teeth and told his story. He was originally an orphan. He was favored by the governor and adopted as his adopted son. Later, he was given the surname Qin. He has been working conscientiously and loyally for the Qin family for decades.
.
He suspected that his master's death was not simple, so he approached Chu Qianqiu.
"Okay, if you tell me what you said, I will definitely get to the bottom of Governor Qin's death."
Chu Qianqiu patted the other party's shoulder. At the same time, he also wanted to know who this murderous martial arts master was.
Maybe this can be his key to solving the Vajra Temple.
If Kongji Temple kills a court official, things will get serious.
Chu Qianqiu likes to make things big, and the bigger the trouble, the better.
"Thank you, sir!"
"If Master Zhongwu has any mission, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Then you call Miss Mengqin first."
This, this is not good.
Manager Qin's face turned pale. This master had just passed away. Although Miss Mengqin was not a concubine or a wife, everyone knew Chu Zhongwu's lustful reputation.
"Chan Master Shangguang is here too, so hurry up and go." When Chu Qianqiu saw the other party's face, he immediately knew what the other party had misunderstood. He didn't call him a thief, so he immediately said angrily.
"Yes, I will go and invite Miss Mengqin now."
Butler Qin was sweating profusely and immediately fell asleep.
