Chapter 204: The Xiao Mansion withdraws the investigation
In other words, how come there have been no strange treasures and monster turmoil recently! Let him wander outside for a few months, but he has caused a lot of peach blossom debts!
Now, when he heard Su Qing talk about such strange things, he naturally wanted to follow and find out!
Su Qing saw that he was very enthusiastic about this matter, so he dismissed his plan to entrust Lin You to him and let him watch, and simply invited him to look for the Xiao brothers and his wife together.
Because it was inconvenient for Su Qing to take care of Lin You, Yun Jiu offered to let him personally go to visit the Liang Mansion.
Seeing Yun Jiu go out of the tavern, Su Qing sighed, seeing that Lin You had secretly drunk a glass of spirit wine when they were not paying attention, and now he was drunk on top of her.
She carried Lin You back to the Lin Mansion, first placed him in the inner room of the main courtyard and slept down, and then took out the elixir of the Qing Spirits and gave it to the comatose Master of the Xiao family one by one.
After a while, these servants woke up from each other, and saw that they were lying in the main room of the main courtyard, and hurriedly got up to apologize, Su Qing waved his hand at them, signaled everyone to get up, and then asked with a calm face: "Among you, which ones are on duty in the kitchen?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, seven or eight women over forty years old stood up timidly and were about to kneel, Su Qing waved her hand impatiently and said, "I don't like to talk about that false courtesy, don't kneel at every turn!" Just a few of you? She asked, looking at the servants who stepped forward.
The oldest of them all, the woman, whispered, "Hui, Hui fairy, just a few of us are on errands in the kitchen." ”
Su Qing nodded and asked, "Then among you, who is in charge of the next person's meal?" And those who are in charge of the master's meal? ”
The reason why she asked this was because Lin You was not used to eating the food in the kitchen of Xiao Mansion. Therefore, the two of them went out to eat last night, but they did not eat in the house, so they were not drugged.
It is likely that all the people in the house can be put into a coma at the same time, and it is likely that they have done something in their meals!
Looking at the two women standing tremblingly in front of him, Su Qing frowned and asked lightly, "You two are in charge of the next person's meal?" ”
The woman in the blue blouse replied in a low voice, "Hui Fairy, it is the two of you!" ”
Su Qing casually took an orange in his hand and asked, "Oh, what kind of meals did you cook last night?" When do the people in the house eat? ”
The woman in the blue blouse replied respectfully, "Back to the fairy." Last night's dinner had two boiled greens. A pot of noodle soup and chestnut cakes! Everyone took turns to come to the kitchen to eat, starting with Shen Shi. ”
Su Qing looked at her and asked casually, "How is last night's food different from before?" Did you add something to it? ”
When the servant woman heard this, she trembled with fear. He opened his mouth and shouted, "No." No different. I didn't add anything, I didn't add anything, Fairy Mingjian! ”
Su Qing frowned and said, "I just asked if you added it." I didn't say you must have drugged the food, what are you shouting? ”
When she said this, she immediately fell to her knees with an 'ordinary' sound, and her head knocked up like garlic!
Su Qing sighed, stretched out her hand, and the servant woman's head that was about to kowtow stopped in mid-air, and the servant woman rolled her eyes in shock, and she fainted!
Su Qing frowned, and said to the servants who knelt on the ground: "You all get up!" Now one by one, they came up to me and told me what they had done last night, and at the same time, had they seen any outsiders enter the kitchen! ”
When these servants finished talking about what they had done on an errand last night one by one, Su Qing sighed secretly: On the surface, none of these people are suspected of being drugged, but the drug should indeed be in the meal!
Could it be that she is looking in the wrong direction? The problem isn't in the kitchen at all?
Just as she was about to wave her hand to let these people down, a servant woman wearing a gray-black apron in front of her suddenly spoke: "Back to the fairy!" I remembered that there was one more person who went into the kitchen yesterday! ”
Hearing this, Su Qing asked eagerly, "Who is it?" Is he here? "Because, basically, all the people of the Xiao family who fainted on the ground were gathered in the main courtyard, and after waking up, they were all waiting outside the courtyard. That's why she asked.
After speaking, he motioned for the servant woman to go out to check, only to see her exit the door with a small move, and quickly glanced at the place where the subordinates were standing, and then, suspiciously, looked carefully, and then trotted in the door to return to the door.
Su Qing saw her enter the door with a desolate face, and couldn't help asking, "Do you recognize it?" Who is it? ”
Who knows, the servant woman knelt down and shouted in shock: "Back to the fairy, he, he is not here!" ”
Hearing her say this, Su Qinghu asked suspiciously: "You said he is no longer outside?" No, I've summoned all of my subordinates here! ”
"He's not in the courtyard, fairy! The man's slave and maid recognized him, it was Lao Lin who was guarding the door in the firewood room, and at the same time, he also helped carry water in the kitchen! The servant woman was afraid that Su Qing would not believe it, so she hurriedly argued.
"Fetching water for the kitchen? Are you saying that the water used in the kitchen on weekdays is picked by that old forest? Yesterday he also picked up the water? Su Qing beckoned her to get up and asked seriously.
"Exactly! Yesterday just after noon, Lao Lin just began to carry water, I saw and said that the water tank still has water, enough for the night, so that he does not have to rush to bear, at that time, he only smiled at me, and filled the two water tanks in the kitchen with water. Su Qing patiently listened to what the servant woman said, and was basically sure in her heart that it must be that Lao Lin who put the drug into the water!
Thinking of this, she looked at the woman standing in front of her and asked, "Do you know where this old Lin usually lives?" Who else in the family is on an errand in the house? ”
The woman rubbed her hands and said, "Lao Lin is not a servant of the Xiao family, he was originally an old servant brought by Aunt Lin's grandmother, and when Aunt Lin married the Liang family, she didn't take him away, so he stayed in the Xiao family to guard the firewood room and carry water for the kitchen." ”
Speaking of this, she hesitated, secretly raised her eyes to look at the servant woman who had just fainted to the ground, and then continued: "He lives in the ear room next to the firewood room this day, and he is alone, and he has not heard that he has any family!" ”
"The old servant brought by Aunt Lin?" Su Qing looked at her and asked, it seems that the disappearance of the Xiao brothers and his wife has a lot to do with this powerful aunt and grandmother, Mrs. Liang!
Su Qing waved her hand to admit that these people went down to perform their duties, she laid down a forbidden formation at the side of the main courtyard, and told her subordinates to be optimistic about Lin You, and then, she came to the kitchen first, scooped out a little water from the water tank, sniffed carefully, and dipped it in the mouth, sure enough, there was a smell of drugs in the water!
Then, when she came to the place where Lao Lin lived on weekdays, she saw that in the small ear room, there was only a futon and a blue skirt! (To be continued......)
