The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 68 Who Poisoned
Before Mu Jinxi reached the river, Qiu Ju inadvertently turned her head and saw her rushing over, grabbed her hand anxiously and said in a hurry: "Xiao Xi, where have you been? Do you know?" Something happened at your house!"

"What happened to my house? I was fine when I went out." Mu Jinxi asked puzzled, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart to the bottom.

Qiu Ju jumped her feet anxiously, "Oh, it's the Xiushui River, the fish in the river are dead!"

Mu Jinxi's face darkened, she pushed aside Qiu Ju and walked quickly to the river, her heart sank when she saw the situation in the river, her first reaction was that someone had poisoned the river!

At this time, there were many belly-up fish floating on the banks of the Xiushui River, as well as shrimps and crabs, and it was obvious that they had died of poisoning.Nowadays, there is no such thing as waste industrial water everywhere in modern times. They are all pure natural things. If they were not poisoned well, how could they die?
"Oh, look, look, this has never happened in Xiushui Village. Could it be a sign from God, warning us of something?"

Aunt Zhang in the village was the first to yell in a strange voice. Aunt Zhang is the most superstitious, and every little thing can be linked to God or something.

"I said Mrs. Zhang, can you stop talking about everything? I think it's because the fish and shrimps ate something that shouldn't be eaten, so they turned their stomachs and died." Aunt Niu blushed. Aunt Zhang glanced at it.

"Stop talking, I see, it was Mu Ankang who did it!"

I don't know who came up with such a sentence suddenly.

Mu Jinxi looked over coldly, "Ms. Cuihua, what do you mean by that? My father is fine, what are you doing with him?"

Facing Mu Jinxi's cold gaze, Cuihua Niang trembled, but she still said stiffly: "What do you mean? This Xiushui River has been taken over by the Peach Blossom Restaurant, and your father is the one who watches the river. Isn't it your father's fault that something happened to the river?"

Li Chili pepper also said in a down-to-earth way: "That's right, Xiaoxi, we didn't target your father. The shopkeeper in this chapter left this matter to your father, but now something like this happened. Your father's responsibility must be to escape. But. Oh, so many fish died, how much money do you have to pay!"

Mu Jinxi said coldly: "At the beginning, shopkeeper Zhang just asked my father not to let people steal fish, but he didn't ask my father to be responsible for the safety of the entire Xiushui River. I don't know what's going on now, who? Do you know if someone was jealous and did something vicious because of the lard?"

What Mu Jinxi said made Li Chili stunned, then jumped up, and shouted fiercely: "Mu Jinxi, you little hoof, who do you think has done vicious things?"

Mu Jinxi glanced at her, "I didn't name them, so don't take your seat."

Li Chili's complexion changed. I don't know if it was a psychological reason or real. Mu Jinxi felt that she seemed to see a guilty conscience on her face. She squinted her eyes and couldn't help guessing whether this Li Chili had a grudge because of what happened last time, so He threw poison into the river, and wanted to poison the fish in the river, so that father could be blamed?
If this is the case, it would be too much. It was their fault that they borrowed money last time. Why should they hold grudges against her?
"Xiao Xi, why don't you hurry back and ask your father what's going on? I saw him busy in the field earlier, so I probably don't know about it yet." Aunt Niu said to Mu Jinxi with some concern. Said.

"Yeah, Xiaoxi, go back and tell your father about this. Someone has already informed the village head. After all, the Xiushui River is not our Xiushui Village. If shopkeeper Zhang finds out, he If you think it is your father's responsibility, it would be terrible if you make you lose money." The big girl was also very worried.

The situation in Xiaoxi's family is just a little bit better, and this kind of thing happened again, so many fish died, if they lost money, the money they earned a few days ago might not be enough to pay for it, right?She had heard that these fish were selling well at Peach Blossom Restaurant.Now that he is dead, how much money will the Peach Blossom Restaurant have to lose!
"I said, what are you two worrying about? The Mu family is not short of money now. You need to be good people here. If you have time, go back and do farm work!" Cuihua Niang said to Aunt Niu and The big girl cried, the words that came out of her mouth made people feel uncomfortable, as if they were thorny.

Niu Dashen was not afraid of her, he waved his hand at her angrily and said in disdain: "Go away to my old lady, you don't have a good word in your mouth, it's like someone owes you hundreds of taels of silver all day long, show your face to someone What about you?"

Mu Jinxi didn't bother to pay attention to Cuihua Niang and Li Chili, she said something to Da Niang Niang and Aunt Niu, and then hurriedly left the river.

On the way, Mu Jinxi quickly analyzed the whole matter, and still felt that the possibility of someone intentionally poisoning was the greatest, and there was really no other possibility for this to happen.

The Xiushui River is flowing. Although the water flow is not very urgent, it still flows every day. If it is not poisoned, there should be problems in the entire Xiushui Village river section, even upstream and downstream.But she didn't see a scene when she passed another section of the river when she came down from the mountain.

This means that only their Xiushui Village has a problem, what is it if it is not poisoning?
Damn it, she really didn't expect someone in the village to be so courageous as to dare to poison.I don't even think about what to do if someone drinks the water in the river?Those who do farm work in the fields often go to the river to drink water directly. Damn it, if she finds out who poisoned it, she will never let him go this time!
