Chapter 046: Suspicion
On Hong Qi's side, after a night of investigation, he also had eyebrows. The jar of water he drank in the white room was boiled and drunk, and a few other people drank the raw one, and they all died and came back to life.
Water has indeed been manipulated. Dr. He came to see it overnight and said that someone had put a special medicinal powder in the water that was enough to cause diarrhea. And this powder, when heated, will be ineffective. This is also the reason why only a few people who drink raw water have diarrhea.
And Steward Feng said that the slaves who served in the Jinyang Mansion were miscellaneous servants of the inferior rank, and they were all innocent and had served in the mansion for many years. Those guards are Hong Qi's brothers who know the roots. Among these people, there should be no one who will unite with outsiders to harm the master.
All possibilities fall on the newly recruited slave laborers.
Sure enough, one of the newly recruited slaves disappeared that night. That person's name is Tian Dayou, and he only entered the house two days ago.
Under closer inspection, Tian Dayou has someone else, and his identity has just been fraudulently used. And Tian Dayou himself was indeed going to work as a slave worker in the Jinyang Mansion, but he was sick and delayed for a few days.
And when Hong Qi told Shen Liancheng about this result early in the morning, Shen Liancheng squinted his eyes slightly and showed extreme dissatisfaction.
In other words, you have been busy all night, and you have not slept and come to a useless conclusion. Did the person who harmed me flee after the purpose is achieved? ”
Hong Qi was frightened, and immediately lowered his head and was ashamed.
Shen Liancheng is upright, you might as well mention him a few words. "How did the new slave laborer, who entered the house two days ago, know so well about your habit of drinking raw water? Have you ever asked about this? Who in the house revealed this to a new slave worker? Intentional or unintentional? ”
"I ...... I'll go back and take a look. Shen Liancheng was so angry with himself, Hong Qi blamed himself and was ashamed.
As he hurried out of the house, Qingling called him.
He hurriedly turned around and asked, "But the son-in-law still has orders?" ”
Qingling shook her head, walked closer, smiled and lowered her voice: "The son-in-law is angry with you, and she also wants you to do things in the future, not really angry with you, don't take it to heart." ”
"Oh, no." Hong Qi smiled and bowed his hand to Qingling, thanking her for mentioning something.
Looking at his departing back, Qinglingfang's heart moved, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was like sugar and honey. When he turned around and went back to the house, his smile was gone, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about his master.
Shen Liancheng often has a temper, but he rarely gets angry with the people around him. On the way back to Linancheng from Kyoto last time, she was bullied by Li Shizi, and she didn't blame Hong Qi for half a word. This time, I'm afraid there is something boring in my heart, right?
Qingling entered the house, opened the jade lotus and asked cautiously: "Son-in-law, are you in a hurry because of what happened last night?" ”
Shen Liancheng glanced at her and sighed. "It's time to step up."
Qingling's mind is clear, but he guesses correctly. Shen Liancheng was really anxious because of yesterday's abduction. If Chen Xiang is not eliminated for a day, it will be difficult for her to live in peace, so she must step up the progress of the secret plan of the agency.
"The slave listened to those craftsmen and said that it would take as little as three or five nights, or as many as seven or eight nights, and it would be completed." Qingling said and persuaded, "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, beware of being in a hurry." ”
Shen Liancheng relaxed his brows and smiled at Qingling.
Hong Qi soon returned.
When he saw Shen Liancheng, he looked embarrassed. The side didn't say anything, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he blamed himself, "I'm really an elm head, I went back, and I still didn't find anything." ”
Qingling glanced at him, her heart was full of sympathy, and then her eyes fell on Shen Liancheng's face, seeing that she was not angry, her heart was also relaxed.
"Don't have a few words?" Shen Liancheng wanted to hear the details.
Hong Qi was stunned, and then said: "People who have been in contact with that fake Tian Dayou say that the person is silent, and he has hardly spoken in the house for two days, let alone inquired about my habits. The old man in the house hasn't talked about me in the past two days. ”
"In other words, the man knew your habits before he entered the house." Shen Liancheng made a judgment, thought about it again, and almost said to himself: "Either someone told him, or he observed it himself." I only entered the house two days ago...... In the past two days, except for yesterday, you went back to my home with me, and the last time you went back was three days ago. Suffice it to say that it is impossible for him to know your habits on his own. Therefore, someone in the house must have told him in advance. ”
The family is full of people who know the roots, who will collude with Chen Xiang? Could it be ...... Shen Liancheng thought of someone, but she quickly shook her head, thinking that she was frightened by Chen Xiang.
At this moment, the porter came to report that Steward Feng was outside and had something to give to Shen Liancheng.
Steward Feng made a special trip, there should be a new discovery. Shen Liancheng hurriedly asked people to invite him in.
Steward Feng entered the house and saw that Qingling Hong Qi and others were all in the house, and he was a little hesitant. Shen Liancheng was a little surprised, guessing that what he wanted to say was not only about Hong Qi's diarrhea, so he motioned for Qingling Hong Qi and the others to retreat.
When there was no one else in the house, Steward Feng told Shen Liancheng: "I have asked people to inquire about the slaves and their families in the house one by one, and there has been nothing abnormal in the past two days. If it is said that Chen Xiang threatened who caused this matter, the possibility is still extremely small. ”
He paused and said solemnly: "Son-in-law, there are a few people in the mansion who we don't know so well......"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Liancheng's eyes suddenly fell on him, and he reminded coldly: "There is no evidence, Steward Feng is not good at suspicion. ”
It turned out that Shen Liancheng knew it in his heart. Steward Feng thought about it, lowered his eyes and bent down, and quickly persuaded: "Please also ask the son-in-law to be on guard and be careful." ”
Shen Liancheng was silent, and finally calmed down. "Okay, I got it."
Hearing her say this, Steward Feng was about to step back. But hesitantly walked to the door, he still turned back, and simply told Shen Liancheng: "Don't hide it from the son-in-law, Zungong has instructed my friend in Qinzhou to check on him a few days ago." The son-in-law saved him that night, perhaps not by coincidence, but by a bitter ploy he set up. ”
"Why? Is there any evidence? Shen Liancheng was deeply stimulated and asked in surprise.
"The evidence is not yet available, but the inns where the son-in-law stayed that night said that there were no rooms, and I am afraid it was false. Do you still remember that before you stayed at the Ziyun Inn, you asked to come to the Fu Inn? ”
Shen Liancheng thought for a moment and nodded.
"A friend in Qinzhou said that the business of Laifu Inn is not good, and there has never been a full house."
"Is that someone bought Xiao Er and deliberately told us that there was no room?" Shen Liancheng asked.
Steward Feng nodded and affirmed, "Everything was deliberately arranged by someone. Laifu Inn is like this, Tianxiang Inn, Sifang Inn, and Zuichen House are all like this, in order to lead you to Ziyun Inn. ”
Shen Liancheng's mind was buzzing, she didn't want to doubt Ziyin at all.
Ziyin is clearly the person who has been the head of his face for two years in his previous life and has never had suspicious behavior.
Why did he go to all the trouble of getting close to her? What is his purpose? That's the case, what does he have to do with Chen Xiang? In the last life, would he be Chen Xiang's minions planted by her side? With him, Chen Xiang never appeared......
There is a feeling of being betrayed by a loved one. Shen Liancheng could find a thousand reasons for him to approach him, but she would never accept that he had anything to do with Chen Xiang.
