Tan Xueqing shook her head, "No, I only saw a little of the content in the book before my grandfather discovered it, and I never saw that book again."

I have to ask Mr. Tan about this matter. Chu Qingzhi walked towards the catcher, whispered something to him, the catcher nodded, and then took Mr. Tan to a room alone.

At this moment, Mr. Tan was very flustered, his face was a little pale, and he sat on the chair, and his mind quickly wandered away.

Chu Qingzhi walked into the room, but Mr. Tan didn't respond. She walked up to Mr. Tan and asked oppressively, "Master Tan is wondering why the enemy came to the door, right?"

Use an established fact to ask questions. If the questioner is not prepared, he will fall into the trap directly.

This made Mr. Tan flinch a bit, and he answered reflexively, "Yes..." He immediately responded, "No, no..."

His eyes were flustered, but he quickly hid it, comforting himself, it can be said that he heard it wrong just now, yes, he heard it wrong.

This reaction is enough to explain the situation. Chu Qingzhi looked at Mr. Tan, "Master Tan, you should tell what you know, otherwise no one will be able to save your family."

Mr. Tan has calmed down at this time, as the head of the family, he will not be so easily scared, "I don't know anything, if I know, I will tell you."

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, it seems that tricks are still needed, a spot of light penetrated into Mr. Tan's body, and she asked again, "Where is the book that records the secret?"

Mr. Tan wanted to say that he didn't know what you were talking about, but what he said was, "In the dark compartment of the study room."

After hearing what he said, Mr. Tan felt a sense of coolness on his feet, raised his head, and stared at Chu Qingzhi with wide eyes.

Chu Qingzhi said nonchalantly, "You said it yourself, I didn't torture to extract a confession, nor did I coerce or lure you."

Mr. Tan only felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't believe that he would tell the truth.

The head catcher standing at the door couldn't help showing admiration on his serious face at this time. He underestimated Chu Qingzhi, and he immediately said, "Miss Chu, I'll take someone to fetch it right away."

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand, "Go."

After the head arrester left, two arresters came in again and stood at the door, Chu Qingzhi continued to dig out the secret, "Mr. Tan, who is your enemy?"

Mr. Tan showed a struggling expression on his face, but in the end he couldn't help but instinctively said, "They are my friends."

Chu Qingzhi's tone was even and steady, "A friend turned into an enemy and even killed your family. What did you do more than 20 years ago?"

Mr. Tan pinched his palm, trying to use the pain to stop himself from speaking, but found it was useless, "I went to inform the king of Beijiang, and then the king of Beijiang killed them all."

It turned out that he was a big traitor who killed everyone and came here by himself to hide his name and live a peaceful life as a wealthy family...

Chu Qingzhi stared at Old Man Tan for a while, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Mr. Tan's heart faintly collapsed. He raised his head and looked at Chu Qingzhi, thinking that she was a devil who could tempt people to tell the deepest secrets in their hearts...

More than 20 years ago, Emperor Xianxian (the grandfather of the current emperor) was still in power. At that time, Emperor Xianxian was old and faint, and practiced the art of alchemy, which made the people of the whole country feel miserable and miserable.

There is a garrison near northern Xinjiang, about 50,000 people.

For nearly half a year, the imperial court did not distribute food and salaries. Every time a memorial was requested for food and salaries, the imperial court would perfunctorily say that the treasury was empty and let them figure out their own solutions.

It is true that the generals here managed to raise the funds themselves, otherwise the garrison here would have been in chaos for the past six months.

It's fine if you don't pay the food and salary, because the general offended a murderous warlock, he will be escorted back to the court and beheaded for public display. This move completely angered the garrison here.

So several generals discussed about rebellion, since they couldn't survive anyway, so it's better to fight.

However, one of them was timid and fearful, but extremely selfish and cruel. When everyone was about to make trouble, he ran to inform the police.

The person he went to inform was the former Northern Xinjiang King.

After the former king of Northern Xinjiang learned about it, he subdued a group of generals who were about to rebel one step ahead of time, and killed the entire family of these generals on the charge of rebellion, and incorporated the garrison. The power grew rapidly and became the most powerful among the fief princes, etc. The imperial court realized that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and later even the imperial court had to look at Beijiang's face.

The informer got a lot of money and moved his family.

He was quite smart, knowing that the most dangerous place was the safest, so he chose a county under the jurisdiction of the capital, kept his anonymity, and lived a wealthy and idle life.

After hearing what Old Master Tan said, Chu Qingzhi felt that he deserved it, that anyone would take revenge for hurting him so badly.

"If it was your enemy who took revenge, why did he kill Tan Maozhi first?"

Tan Maozhi was neither the biggest nor the smallest, neither the most outstanding nor the least outstanding, there must be some reason for killing him.

In addition, it is not certain that it is the enemy's revenge, so what she said is a hypothetical.

Mr. Tan showed a painful look on his face, "No, it wasn't Tan Maozhi who killed first. My eldest son was the first to kill. I was terrified at the time, so I chose to keep it secret."

"The second is my wife, and the third is Tan Maozhi."

Chu Qingzhi stared intently, "Your eldest son?"

"My eldest son died seventeen years ago. At that time our family's business had just started. He worked very hard and often traveled around."

"It was a rainy night. He escorted the goods to Lin County to deliver the goods. He hid from the rain in a ruined temple at night, but he didn't expect to be killed."

"Didn't find the murderer?"

"At that time, I thought it was the Qiu family who killed me, so I didn't dare to investigate further, so I reported the case, but the government didn't find anyone, so I let it go."

There are quite a lot of stories about the Tan family, Qing Zhi said, "Do you know that your wife was murdered?"

Mr. Tan said, "My wife has always been in good health. It is impossible to die after sleeping overnight. Someone must have murdered her, but I was afraid that what happened back then would be exposed, so I kept silent. As for why Tan Maozhi will be killed next, I don't know." Know."

"You just said that your eldest son was also killed?"

Grandpa Tan's eyes turned red, "Yes, he was stabbed seven times with a dagger, and died of excessive blood loss."

Chu Qingzhi lowered her eyes and analyzed, "Your eldest son was killed with a dagger, while your wife and grandson were killed by unknown means. They have different modus operandi. From this point of view, it should not be the same murderer."

Mr. Tan suddenly became excited, "What do you mean?"

"That's the superficial meaning." Chu Qingzhi said, "Seven stabbings show that there is a deep hatred between the two of you. By the way, you said that your eldest son is escorting the cargo. What about the cargo?"

Mr. Tan immediately said, "The goods are not lost, they are still in the ruined temple."
