Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 277 Self-knowledge
Sun Xiaoshan started talking like pouring beans.

He remembered eating a sugar-meat steamed bun, which he liked very much at first, but for some reason, the steamed bun tasted strange, and he barely ate half of it before throwing it away.

The news about the diners being poisoned in Wangyue Tower spread, because he knew that he was also poisoned by toad, he was a little afraid, and after thinking about it these days, he found this doubtful point. The reason why he was not poisoned at that time was probably because of that half Because of a steamed bun.

It made some sense, that day the doctor said that the poisoning was not deep, so Du Xiaoyu asked him if he still remembered the man who sold the sugar-meat buns.

"I can't find that person!" Sun Xiaoshan was annoyed, "As soon as the villain thought of it, he ran to the street to look for him, but he couldn't find him no matter how hard he searched. He probably didn't specialize in the steamed bun business, but just wanted to poison the little boy to death." People are now selling steamed buns!"

It was after doing some research on Sun Xiaoshan, knowing that he likes to buy snacks on the street, so he came up with such a solution, but Du Xiaoyu still didn't understand why that person wanted to poison Sun Xiaoshan to death.

"Then do you remember what he looked like?"

"I have a little impression." Sun Xiaoshan hurriedly said, "He is shorter than me, with a sunken nose and a square face..."

Du Xiaoyu waved his hand, "Since you still remember so much, go to the Yamen and report the case, and ask them to draw a picture of what you said, which will help find the suspect."

"Yes, the villain is going now." Sun Xiaoshan was about to leave, but turned back halfway, "I also forgot to say one thing, those two businessmen wanted the villain to participate in their silk quilt business, and it seemed that they were There is another candidate, I don’t know if it has anything to do with it.”

Du Xiaoyu laughed and said, "How did you think of these things? You couldn't get anything out of asking at that time."

"Maybe the poison has not been cleared completely, and my mind is confused." Sun Xiaoshan said, "It is very clear now, so I thought of so many things." After saying goodbye, he went to the yamen.

But the case didn't make much progress. According to Sun Xiaoshan's memory, the yamen servant drew a picture, but when he took the portrait to investigate, no one could recognize who it was. It can be seen that the man put on makeup to cover up From his original appearance, it can be seen that he is a thoughtful person, just like the case of Wangyue Tower, he has no clue at all.

Now the doubts are all concentrated on Mao Zong. After all, Jiang Guo who was poisoned to death is his creditor, but Mao Zong keeps saying that he has nothing to do with him. When asked why Jiang Guo came to the restaurant, he still doesn't know.

Li Yuanqing sent someone to inquire about Jiang Guo's family, but he didn't know the reason why he went to Wangyue Tower that day. He only said that it must be Mao Zong's fault, because the IOU also disappeared, and he could no longer ask Mao Zong for money. .
After all, Mao Zong was also a person who had a lot of wealth, and now he was going to kill people for a few hundred taels, and he did it in his own restaurant, Du Xiaoyu didn't believe it anyway.Li Yuanqing also released Mao Zong, saying that the evidence was insufficient, but secretly sent someone to keep an eye on Mao Zong and investigate all his family properties.

Finally, a person slowly surfaced.

Mao Zong sold a property when he owed his buddy money, but the money he got was not used to pay back the buddy, but all of it was given to a man named Zhang Shouyi.

It was given secretly, for fear of being seen.

Zhang Shouyi was from Sanli Village, and he had no business relationship with Mao Zong. In fact, he himself was poor and white, but there was an intriguing information in it, that he was Sun Xiaoshan's friend.

When Sun Xiaoshan heard the news, he didn't want to believe it. He shook his head hastily, "It must have nothing to do with him. How could he harm me? Everyone else laughed at me at that time, but he supported me the most and often came to listen to me. Let me explain the silk...impossible, it cannot be his."

Li Yuanqing brought the portrait and waved it in front of Sun Xiaoshan, "Look, doesn't he really look like Zhang Shouyi?"

Once the two are connected, the feeling will be different immediately. Sun Xiaoshan recalled that when he was buying sweet meat buns that day, he suddenly grabbed the portrait and kneaded it into a ball, shouting, "No, it won't!"

Such a negation is like an affirmation, but he can't convince himself.

But why did Zhang Shouyi want to harm Sun Xiaoshan, and Mao Zong wanted to give Zhang Shouyi money?What is the connection between the two?
In order to find out the facts of the case, Li Yuanqing tried the case overnight.

It's a pity that both of them were very tight-lipped, and they refused to let go. A single portrait is not enough to convict. As for the money Mao Zong gave to Zhang Shouyi, as long as the two confessed well, they would not be able to ask questions for a while. Moreover, Li Yuanqing did not I like to use the criminal law, otherwise not many people can stand it once the board is hit.

When he came back in the middle of the night, Du Xiaoyu couldn't sleep well, because it was the first time he was so late after they got married, and he opened his eyes at that time.

Li Yuanqing was already light-footed, but she didn't expect that she would still wake up, so he stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and said softly, "Sleep again, it's still a while before dawn."

There was a slight chill on his body, Du Xiaoyu hummed, but the sleepiness gradually faded, and whispered, "Is the case finalized?"

"No."

The two were so difficult to deal with, Du Xiaoyu frowned, and wanted to talk to him again, but the sound of breathing in his ear became smooth and even, and he was already asleep.

Fearing that she was too tired, she reached out and hugged his waist, and closed her eyes.

Early the next morning, the old lady sent Caiyu to bring two bowls of soup.

"This is for the young master, this is for the young lady." Caiyu put the soup away, stood back, and glanced at the color screen again.

Probably knowing that Li Yuanqing didn't have much rest last night, the old lady still kept an eye on this grandson. Du Xiaoyu has become a habit of drinking soup and comes out on an empty stomach every morning, so this big bowl is nothing.

After Li Yuanqing finished drinking, he went to work in the yamen.

"Sit for a while when you are free, don't tire yourself out." Du Xiaoyu put on the official uniform for him. From last night to now, he has only rested for two hours.

Li Yuanqing stroked her hair, "You haven't slept well, so don't go out today."

When the two of them were in the room, Caiyu took the opportunity to say a few words to Caiping.

"Why don't you grasp the timing at all?" Caiyu pointed her finger at her head, "The old lady sent you here because she valued you, but luckily, it's been so long, and you haven't got any good news."

Caiping said helplessly, "Young Master and Young Madam are so loving..."

"What's wrong with the relationship? When the young lady was young, she couldn't wait on the side, so you couldn't use your brains? Hey, you and Qingzhu, one is honest and the other is cunning. In the end, the two of you can't do anything at all. The old lady is considered I trained you in vain, and I trusted you in vain!" Caiyu hated iron but steel, "The old lady said, you are all people she trusts, and you can rest assured that you are by the young master's side, unlike other blind people."

Caiping murmured, "Young Madam is very kind to me..."

"It's good for you, so I have to share the worries of the young lady! After the young lady is pregnant, someone will take care of the young master, right? It would be even better if you have some feelings for the young lady."

Caiping was speechless immediately. She naturally knew what the old lady sent the two of them for, but after getting along with her for a while, she realized that if she really wanted to do that, it would definitely end badly.Firstly, the young master only devoted himself to the young lady and didn't even look at them. Secondly, the young lady was too smart, and she was afraid that once she showed such affection, she might not be able to stay any longer.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Caiyu was even more angry. She and Caiping are both children of the family. They grew up together and have the best relationship. They also hope that Caiping can have a good belonging.

"For a person like the young master, being a concubine to him is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes. You can figure it out yourself! If it doesn't work out, the old lady will be disappointed. Find someone to match you out." After she finished speaking, she turned around. just go.

Caiping stretched out his hand to stop her, but the door creaked open behind him, and Li Yuanqing came out from inside.

The morning sun bathed his body, and his whole body seemed to be radiant, with a slender figure, exquisite facial features, and those eyes that seemed to have stars in his eyes when he smiled.

With the blessings of several lifetimes, what Caiyu said just now came to Caiping's heart, yes, how could she not be clear?I am just a maid, so it would be great to be his concubine, but the reality is always unsatisfactory.

She lowered her head and let Li Yuanqing walk past her without any nostalgia.

In the past ten years, what she has learned is only four words, self-knowledge.

If there is no chance, if there is no 100% possibility, she will definitely not take risks, all she wants is to live in peace and stability.

She wanted to serve Du Xiaoyu just like this, but what Caiyu said today forced her to change her decision.As a child of the family, this life is in the hands of the master, maybe it's time to make plans for yourself.

Qingzhu was standing behind the wall, she could hear what Caiyu and Caiping said clearly just now, it seems that the old lady is already a little dissatisfied with them, if this goes on like this, maybe someday she will marry them off casually, after all The age is there, it is not young.

She took a breath and walked to Caiping, with a smile on her face, "The old lady wants to hold her great-grandson so much, otherwise, let's talk to the young lady, how about going to pray for a son?"

Caiping still hadn't recovered from the conversation just now, and said after a while, "Go to offer incense?"

"Yeah, doesn't the old lady often go to Tianxing Temple? You see, it will be the Christmas day of Bodhidharma soon. The old lady must go. Wouldn't it be better for the young lady to accompany you? Can you be respectful and filial?" , Young Madam has been exhausted from those things recently, so it would be good to go and see Qiu Jing."

Tianxing Temple also has a special scene in late autumn, Caiping nodded, "It's a good idea, the old lady brings tonic soup every day, and the young lady is definitely grateful. I just went to tell the old lady, and the old lady must be happy."

"Exactly, that's what I thought." Qingzhu smiled more happily, and took Caiping's hand affectionately, "Then let's go tell Young Madam now."

The two went into the house while talking.
