Chapter 702 No Sympathy (1)
Even so, Lord Yu is planning to send officials to various pharmacies in the town for questioning.Arsenic is highly poisonous, and the government expressly stipulates that it cannot be bought and sold at will.When a pharmacy sells arsenic, it must ask the buyer's identity and what the buyer is buying it for.

However, Master Yu hadn't dispatched an official messenger yet, a young servant rushed into the hall from the back hall.Mr. Yu was angry at first, but this boy whispered something to Mr. Yu.Master Yu hurried into the back hall.About two quarters of an hour later, Master Yu came back, his expression not very good.Mr. Yu was silent for a moment, and when he opened his mouth, he ordered the woman to be put in prison.Afterwards, Lord Yu said that the snack shop was innocent, and the woman who falsely accused the snack shop after the trial would immediately return justice to the snack shop.

Master Yu told Steward Gu and Gu Yuanhe to go back with peace of mind, and waited for news at home.Afterwards, he said that when the matter was found out, he would personally come to Qingshu's door to apologize.Elder Yu didn't say anything else.

Qing Shu couldn't help but muttered in his heart after listening to Gu Steward's statement.She frowned slightly, "Butler, what do you think about this matter?"

"Miss, this old slave can't figure out what Master Yu is thinking. However, this old slave guesses that Master Yu's strangeness has something to do with the two quarters of an hour when he left. Before returning, this old slave specifically inquired about the boy who broke into the hall halfway. I learned that this young man served the adults on weekdays. This young man went back and forth between the yamen and the house behind the yamen during the day. The old slave has asked someone to inquire about who is going in and out of the yamen today Stay at home. Always find out something before dark."

Qing Shu is always at ease when the butler Gu handles affairs.Knowing that Butler Gu had asked someone to inquire about it, Qing Shu didn't make any arrangements, obviously she didn't mean to intervene, this matter was completely handed over to Butler Gu.

After seeing off the butler Gu, Qing Shu went into the inner room again.She didn't continue to do needlework, but put things in order one by one.Then, she called Xiao Ya.

The little girl agreed bluntly and entered the room.

"Go and get "Thousand Characters", and call Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu in by the way."

After listening to the order, the little girl's eyes lit up, she turned and went out.After a while, Xiaoya called Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan, and the three of them came in together.Xiao Ya was still holding the "Thousand Characters" in her hand.

Qing Shu took the thin "Thousand Characters" book and sat down on the chair beside the table.

Needless to say to Qing Shu, the three servant girls put the large wooden tray filled with sand specially for them to practice calligraphy on the table, and smoothed the surface of the sand with wooden strips.Then, Xiaoya sat down on the chair opposite Qingshu spontaneously.Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu came over, one stood on the left side of the table, and the other stood on the right side of the table.That is to say, four of their masters and servants occupy a corner of the square table.The reason Xiaoya wants to sit is because she is small, and it would be difficult to write without sitting.

Qingshu said, "What Xiaoya wants to write is 'cold comes and goes, autumn harvests and winter hides'. What Xiaoyu wants to write is 'one body, and the army returns to the king'. As for Xiaojuan, 'the phoenix sings in the bamboo, the white horse Food court'."

The three servant girls listened, and each of them took a dry branch that was similar in length and thickness to the writing brush, and began to write on the sand stroke by stroke.

Qing Shu doesn't want the maids around her to be illiterate, so she deliberately educates them.At her request, the three had already memorized the content of the Thousand Characters.The only thing left now is to write it down.She asked them to memorize and dictate word by word.She knew that as long as she persisted and they worked hard, they could learn other things after "Thousand Characters".In this way, they will learn more characters, be able to read and write, and will not be easily fooled in the future.

After practicing like this for about two quarters of an hour, when the light outside became bad, Qing Shu called to stop.

Just in time, Steward Gu came to report the situation.

"Miss, I found out clearly, Master Yu wants to come to apologize, and it's all because of Second Miss Yu Yun." Then he told what he heard.

Qing Shu's complexion turned cold, "I'm tired of living, and I'm almost short of twitching."

On the second day, news spread that the special dish of the snack shop in Kangxi Town, that is, stewed bones with sauerkraut was poisonous to people.Although Yu Xianfu spoke up, he privately told Steward Gu that the snack shop was innocent, and that Gu Yuanhe, the shopkeeper, was not detained.But according to the rules, the snack shop cannot open for business before the case is officially closed.

In this way, the closed state of the snack shop attracted more curious eyes.There is relatively little work in winter, and most of the townspeople are at home, and it takes a few days to talk about something big in the town, let alone something as big as a murder case.The three of them gathered together in groups, chatting about the gossip about the murder case and the snack shop, adding some things they imagined, plus some reliable or unreliable guesses, the content of the gossip is called A "wonderful".

They didn't dare to name Gu Qingshu directly, and at the same time they were afraid, but at the same time they were extremely excited and liked to spread all kinds of gossip about Gu Qingshu.Some people say that the flavor snack shop has a big backer, and even if several people are poisoned to death, there is a way to get away without guilt.Some people say that the owner of the snack shop is a domineering and fierce character, and he can directly pick anyone who doesn't like him with a red-tasseled spear in his hand, even if there is no evidence for a poisoning case!In a word, the woman who complained must have no good fruit.

Some people say that no matter how rich and powerful a certain owner is and how strong his backing is, the upright Lord Yu can enforce the law impartially.Even if Lord Yu can't stand it anymore, there is still an upright Lord Xiao on the head of Lord Yu.This murder case will definitely have a fair result in the end.

Many people curled their lips and agreed.They felt that no need to guess, the woman who complained would definitely not get well.Regardless of whether she is reasonable or not, it will be over if she meets a certain boss.

There are also those who bluntly support a certain club.They feel that Mr. X is a good person.A certain boss is a bit fierce, but he has never done anything evil in the town.It means that all the employees of a certain boss do their duty, and have never done anything to bully the people.

In short, gossip comes and gossip goes, and I heard that people in the town who are keen on gossip have quickly formed two factions, and a war of words is starting.

When the news reached Qingshu's ears, Qingshu was speechless for a while.

Xiaojuan was very upset, "Miss, you just have such a good temper. You never let the people in the town spread bad things about you, and let them talk nonsense about you. Look, those people are so confident now. How far?" She was annoyed.The young lady is so kind-hearted, she never cares about or punishes those who talk badly in the town.As a result, those people would spread all kinds of gossip about the young lady without any scruples, which is too annoying.

Qing Shu held the book in his hands, and hummed without raising his head.

Xiaojuan was very anxious for such a master, "Miss, this servant will go out and teach you a few ignorant ones, okay?"

Qingshu didn't care much about the rumors in the town, she just wanted to read, so she felt that Xiaojuan who was talking non-stop in her ear was a bit noisy.She had the idea of ​​distracting Xiaojuan, "Okay, let them go! The idiom you used just now is good. 'Be confident' is very appropriate, and the context is right. Now that you know how to use it, then Just go and write it down."
