Across the Market

Chapter 185

After all, Zhu Fu was still worried about Xiao Jingbin, and just now she saw Xie Tong's reaction, and Xie Tong's suggestion that Mrs. Xiao and the maid Xiaolian were acting together, so he obviously knew something.But Quan Erfu used to work in the restaurant at this time, but he hurried back today, he must have known that Xie Tong came to Xiao's house with him, and was afraid that Xiao Jingbin would say something that shouldn't be said.

However, she also felt strange, if Xiao Jingbin was really made ill by Quan Erfu, why didn't he say it?Why do you even have to hide it from your own wife?Could it be poisoned?
"Is Mr. Xiao poisoned?" Zhu Fu felt a little uneasy, because when she saw Xiao Jingbin for the first time just now, she always felt that he was a little terribly thin, and even said that he was abnormally thin. The response was whether he had taken opium.

Xie Tong stopped and said: "It's not convenient to talk here, find a quiet place, sit down and talk slowly." He gently raised his finger to the side of the tea house and said, "Go there." Seeing Zhu Fu's eyes on that house Looking around from the teahouse, there was no objection, so he walked over first.

It was meal time, and there were not many people in the teahouse, even those who sang ditties sat quietly to rest.

Xie Tong walked steadily to the table next to the window, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please" to Zhu Fu, and after Zhu Fu sat down, he lifted up his robe and sat down.

"A pot of tea and two plates of snacks." Seeing the waiter in the teahouse running over with a smile on his face, Xie Tong sat upright and ordered tea casually, then asked softly, "What else would Miss Zhu want to eat?"

Zhu Fu shook his head: "Young Master Xie's order is enough." She was so focused on Xiao Jingbin this time, how could she be in the mood to eat?After seeing the guy walk away, she fixed her eyes on Xie Tong's well-defined face, frowned and said, "I saw Master Xiao's reaction just now, isn't it..." She thought, even if there is no "crow" in this time and space. ", film" is the term, but there must be poppies. "Is it the poison extracted from a flower called poppies?"

Hearing this, Xie Tong quickly raised his eyebrows to look at her, then his eyes became deeper, and he said softly, "How do you know?"

Poppies are abundant in a small country in southern Xinjiang. It is only recently that few people in the Central Plains know the powerful properties of this flower. Even he, who has a lot of eyeliners, only knows the medicinal properties of this flower. How could she know?

Xie Tong's face was cold and serious, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and a pair of black eyes stared at Zhu Fu without blinking.

He has an innate coldness about him, he doesn't speak, just sits like this quietly, his eyes fixed on people, it can make people shiver with cold.

Zhu Fu had been in contact with him a few times, and gradually got used to his coldness, she looked out of the window and said, "I read it in a book, you don't need to know about it, you Just tell me if it's okay."

"Which book?" Xie Tong rolled his Adam's apple, "I heard from Zizhan that you don't know many words, so what books do you read?"

Zhu Fu choked, and then he felt very upset, and his anger shot up all over his head.

It's not that Xie Tong said he was illiterate, she was angry with Shen Yulou!How did Xie Yi know that she didn't know a few words?Yulou must have said it.

Ever since the two of them secretly revealed their relationship, although they have been clearly aware of the etiquette, Zhu Fu has always regarded Shen Yulou as a lifelong partner in his heart.In her heart, the two of them are now in love in modern times, and the things between the two should not be shared with others, but why did he tell Xie Yi about the things he couldn't read?
Zhu Fu was angry, but he did not make trouble unreasonably. Seeing the teahouse boy bringing tea, she poured a cup and drank it.

Xie Tong saw that the cheeks of the girl sitting in front of him were slightly flushed, and the big eyes that were as bright as washed were obviously filled with anger. His pupils flickered slightly, and only then did he feel that what he said had hurt others.

After being quiet for a while, Xie Tong didn't continue to ask any more questions, but said: "You are right, I have a drug dealer friend who just came back from southern Xinjiang not long ago, and there was a kind of flower in the medicinal materials he bought at that time. I said it’s called poppies. Poppies can be ground into powder, which looks like flour on the surface. A small amount of inhalation can indeed strengthen the body and eliminate all diseases, but once addicted, you can’t get rid of it "He raised his eyes and continued to look at Zhu Fudao, "In a situation like Mr. Xiao's, the addiction should be too deep."

Zhu Fu held the teacup tightly in his hand, and said viciously: "It must be Quan Erfu, the boss he killed. This wolf-hearted thing is simply repaying kindness and revenge. No, the sooner this kind of thing gets rid of, the better. The dog is manipulating Master Xiao, won't it kill Master Xiao?"

Xie Tongdao: "Xiao Jingbin is completely inseparable from this kind of thing. He clearly understands that Quan Erfu is framing him, but he can't say it. He also has a wife and children, so Quan Erfu must have threatened him. If he said I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Mrs. Xiao and the young master of the Xiao family."

Zhu Fu slumped back to the chair, and gradually regained some sense, but he didn't speak, but kept pouring tea.
