The deceased was not pregnant, and his big belly was because he had a certain illness, Mo Xiaohe and Gu Zheng glanced at each other, and the conjecture of the two of them last night, the problem that they had been unable to figure out before, was also solved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Judging from the current situation, it must be that he poisoned himself, and it is unknown whether he was prepared for an accident or not.

The eldest lady didn't believe that her wife was lying at all, she knelt down and kowtowed to the Wei Governor's Mansion, and said sadly, "Every time the child is mentioned, the lady's expression is very soft, she will stroke her stomach and talk a lot to the old slave." ”

Since being driven to the countryside, the life of the master and servant is miserable, the subordinates of the family are snobs, watching people put down dishes, seeing that they have lost power, they have changed their ways to bully, and the jewelry that the two of them carry with them is almost pawned, and there is only a jade bracelet with poor workmanship left in her hand.

"It's this silver bracelet."

The old doctor took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and after opening it, there was a hollow peony flower silver bracelet inside, with meticulous workmanship, and it came from the hands of the master of the big silver building at a glance.

"That's right, the bracelet belongs to my wife."

The old lady finally accepted the reality, and cried again, the bracelet was originally a pair, and when the old lady and the old lady were alive, they gave Liu's birthday gift. Just that year, Luzhou City Ruyi Silver Building invited a craftsman from Dawu, and this pair of silver bracelets was made by the craftsman at that time.

Mo Xiaohe looked familiar, she turned her head and stared at the kneeling widow in the back row is wrist, and the other was in the widow's hand.

"This is my sister's gift to me."

The widow named Yuru hurriedly took off the bracelet and threw it on the ground, she felt that this thing was a little unlucky, when she wore it, she felt that although the silver jewelry was not valuable, the workmanship was superior, she wanted to find a craftsman from Ruyi Yinlou to play a set of jewelry, and was told that the one who came to Dawu had already left.

"My lord, the death of the grass people ...... of the lady"

The horse crew was confused, he wiped a handful of sweat, the person died, it made him a lot easier, in case this girl came back to be unfavorable to him and Yuru, he would be unlucky, anyway, she wouldn't live long, broken jars, what to be afraid of.

Thanks to the death of the man, let him breathe a sigh of relief, God willing.

He continued.

The Wei Governor's Mansion asked the old doctor to listen to the interrogation, and motioned to continue to inform everyone of the autopsy results.

"The buns are not poisonous and have been tested."

At that time, Mo Xiaohe gave five buns, and Liu had four and a half left, only ate one and a half, and the remaining four and a half, and brought a dog and fed the dog meat buns, and after the dog ate it, there was no reaction.

"Since it's not a bun, where does the poison come from?"

Everyone generally understood what was going on, Mo Xiaohe touched her hot cheeks, fortunately, the buns were not poisonous, and she returned the innocence of a well-wisher like her.

"The poison is hidden here."

He asked the official to send a tray, and inside was a hosta, which was green and looked to be worth at least one hundred and ten taels of silver.

When the old lady saw the hosta, she cried and grabbed the ground, and bluntly said that this was the last valuable thing in her wife's jewelry box, and the rest was all occupied by the pretty widow, and a few little gadgets that were not very valuable were rewarded to the next person to exchange things, or they were pawned.

He put on leather gloves and a mask, picked up the hosta, and let everyone see, the hairpin was hollow, and there was white powder in it, he took out some, put it in the water, and asked the official to catch a chicken.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the big in a daze, and after it drank water, it had about a breath to breathe, and fell to the ground, and the head of the chicken and the comb on it immediately turned blue-purple.

"The powder in the hairpin is all arsenic, highly toxic, and soluble in water."

The arsenic was in the hosta, which was relatively stable, but it rained heavily that day, and the deceased was drenched in the rain, and his hair and clothes were wet. The arsenic in the hairpin was mixed with rainwater, and the deceased had helped the hairpin to fix her hair before, so the poison was water, which inadvertently flowed into the mouth, causing her to die on the spot.

"How so!"

The widow thought of the seriousness of the matter, and changed her complexion, if this is the case, it is not that Liu wants to commit suicide at all, but poisoned herself by mistake, then the arsenic in the hairpin on her head, who is it ready for, there is no need to explain.

"Poisonous woman, what a ruthless heart, thanks to the slave family's fate!"

Not to be outdone, the widow cried louder than the old lady, and she crawled up to the horseman and pointed to her belly, "If she hadn't died, would I have had two lives?" ”

I'm a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and I'm so jealous!

Liu's temperament is weak, simple and naïve, but if he can endure it, he will definitely not be ruthless, the family wealth left by his father and mother was looted by the hungry wolf-like horsemen, and the relationship between husband and wife for many years is a joke, Mo Xiaohe can understand her mood very well.

It turned out that there was still hope, thinking that she would be able to have a child in the future, no matter how difficult the days were, Liu survived without complaint, her illness was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

It's just that providence made people, but in the end she ended her life early.

Then, an official errand rode a fast horse to the Zhuangzi in the countryside, and in Liu's room, he found a booklet, which recorded Liu's mental journey, from loss, disappointment to final despair, she went back for revenge, and the last few words were a little messy, "one hundred".

After retiring, the Wei prefect asked people to check the Liu family's property, and if the situation was true, it would be returned to the relatives of the Liu family, and a child was passed from the clan to the name of the dead Liu family, all of which made the eldest lady grateful.

The case soon came to light, and the Wei Governor's Mansion invited Mo Xiaohe and his wife to live in the mansion, but she pondered that it was not convenient, so she politely declined.

"I don't force Grandpa Wei, I heard that you want to do silk business, go to Majiaya Store in the east of the city, and find someone named Ma Boss, he has the best reputation."

Wei Zhifu took care of everything properly, so that Mo Xiaohe would not take a lot of unjust roads.

The case of the Liu family caused an uproar in Luzhou, and the people saw the faces of the profiteers more and more clearly for the dead Liu family, and they automatically boycotted the things of the Ma family, and several shops of the Ma family were crowded.

"Husband, let's form a small caravan, and we still have a lot of manpower."

Ma Laoda did things neatly, and within two days, he sent a letter to the husband and wife, purchased a large number of undyed silk, and had already helped Mo Xiaohe contact the dyeing workshop at a price lower than 20% on the market.

Originally, I planned to invest only a few thousand taels of silver to make a small deal, and when the money went down, it was like throwing it in water, and the sound could not be heard, and the purchase alone had already smashed nearly 10,000 taels.

"Lady, are we running out of money?"

Gu Zheng handed over the economic power to his own lady, and they rented a warehouse for the purpose of releasing goods, he thought that Mo Xiaohe was doing business for the first time, and he didn't succeed in his heart. If there is no silver printing and dyeing, it will be good to sell white cloth, anyway, the lady is right, just be happy.

"Also, we don't have to worry about the money."

Mo Xiaohe had the private money at the bottom of the box in her hand, and when they came back from Licheng, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu, called her alone to talk about family life, and stuffed her with a purse.

Mrs. Gu knew that Gu Zheng would not go back, for fear that the two of them would be wronged in the mountains, and if she had her grandchildren in the future, there would be more places to use money, so she had to leave some foundation.

Mo Xiaohe wanted to refuse, but seeing her mother-in-law's sad expression, she felt that it was better not to stimulate people, she was using silver money to make up for the lack of maternal love for many years, Mrs. Gu said, the money should be used as a dowry gift from the Gu family to Mo Xiaohe, a total of 30,000 taels of silver tickets.

"Husband, I didn't tell you at the time, you won't be angry, right?"

Gu Zheng's face was not quite right, Mo Xiaohe sensitively found out, he didn't say it, but he didn't have any feelings for Mrs. Gu, otherwise he wouldn't have helped hide the matter of barley.

After she left, she wanted to find an opportunity to tell him that because she hadn't used any silver, Mo Xiaohe forgot about it.

"I refused, but I see my mother-in-law is a little sad."

There is a misunderstanding between mother and son, and the estrangement for many years will not be eliminated overnight, and there are too many strange things about the Gu family in Licheng, they don't plan to go back in the future, so they promised Mrs. Gu before leaving, and every once in a while, they will send a letter to the family.

"The last letter was written two months ago."

Mo Xiaohe patted her head, almost forgetting that she remembered that there happened to be a shop opened by the Gu family in Luzhou, as long as the letter was delivered.

In the evening, the husband and wife went to the Zuixian Building for dinner, Mo Xiaohe didn't care much about the food, and paid attention to the paintings on the wall throughout the whole process, and used a pen to compose the pictures in the notebook.

She remembers that her mother-in-law likes to paint, and people have never been to Luzhou, she must be interested in the beauty picture of the drunken fairy building, she has an excellent memory, she can copy one, return the peach, and give it to her mother-in-law.

"Osmanthus duck, squirrel fish, how does it taste?"

The two ordered four dishes, did not ask for drinks, and spent dozens of taels of silver on the checkout, which was enough for ordinary people to live for ten or eight years.

Mo Xiaohe felt sorry for the silver, but the world-famous characteristics, or to taste, it was her husband who sandwiched the dishes into her small plate, she was responsible for eating, and after stopping the pen, she reacted, she ate a little too much, she couldn't help but praise a few words, "It's delicious, it deserves to be the sign of Luzhou life." ”

The silk has been collected, early tomorrow morning, the dyeing workshop came, Mo Xiaohe provided the pattern, the other party worked overtime to catch up, about five days or so, and paid the total price of two percent of the silver as a deposit.

"In the north of Luzhou, there is a market, and there are people who sell manpower over there, let's go and have a look."

Many people who live on the edge of the city, and the men who have no land are waiting for work there, they don't have to go to Dawu this time, before they arrive at Yingchuan, they all get rid of it, back and forth, less than two months, form a caravan, they provide food and shelter, and finally everyone throws away the travel expenses, twenty taels of silver per person, presumably many people are willing.

Walking from Luzhou City, Shangguan Road, the road is open and flat, there are almost no three areas, so you don't have to worry about safety.

Usually in the bazaar, to help people, to do coolies, a month is only three or four hundred Wen, the main family only provides one meal, they provide three meals here, but it is a long trip, come back there are twenty taels, is already very rich.
