CHAPTER XLII

"How? What do you think? Did you send the post? ”

Deng Si'er saw Zuo Idiot enter the small courtyard, so he came up and asked.

Zuo Yi nodded and looked over, Chu Jing was also sitting leisurely at the stone table in the small courtyard reading a book, and walked towards him.

Deng Si'er followed behind Zuo Idiot, and the two of them stood in front of Chu Jing together, covering out most of the light at once.

Chu Jing put down the books in his hand and beckoned Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er to sit down. Just like Deng Si'er, he looked at Zuo Idiot and waited for his answer.

"I've already sent the post, and I'll get a reply today." Zuo Idiot said.

Chu Jing nodded, and just wanted to speak, but was preempted by Deng Si'er on the side.

"Lord Zuo, what kind of governor is it, is it really related to the case we investigated?" Deng Si'er opened his mouth and asked.

Yesterday, Zuo Idiot suddenly said that he was going to check on Song Yuqiu, which really startled Deng Si'er.

No matter how angry the son of the governor of Tuzhou is, Song Yuqiu is the biggest official in the entire Tuzhou Mansion.

Although it can't be as fragrant and spicy as the celebrities in front of the emperor's eyes in the capital, the emperor's reward is still there, doesn't it mean that there is a favored sister in the palace!

This Song Yuqiu, no matter how you say it, will not resell the 'Manifest Truth' potion in Chongyang Academy with a black conscience? Every day, the petty officials below continue to give gifts, can they still lack this little money?

Zuo Idiot didn't have these thoughts in Deng Si'er's heart, from the beginning, when he and Chu Jing knew that Song Yuqiu was related to the shady trading of potions in the academy, they didn't think about this aspect at all.

What Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing thought about was the real, unknown secret, or conspiracy hidden behind the shady deal of this potion.

Because, through Gao Qianli going down to the lake to fish for Deng Si'er's potion bottle, this move shows that the people behind Gao Qianli must be related to the cause of death of the seventeen people in Bai'an Village fifteen years ago.

And the person behind Gao Qianli, the most suspicious is this Song Yuqiu, who is idle according to Deng Si'er's words, and Song Yuqiu, who left the celebrities in the capital and went to Tuzhou to be the governor.

"Deng Si'er, the person who should ask this question is Uncle Jing."

Zuo Idiot did not directly answer Deng Si'er's question, but glanced at Chu Jing before saying to Deng Si'er.

After Chu Jing talked with Zuo Idiot that night, he decided that everything related to the process of investigating the case would no longer be hidden from Deng Si'er, so he reminded:

"Do you remember that we rescued the showman who fell into the water on the way to Chongyang Academy?"

A talent who fell overboard?

Deng Si'er was slightly stunned, and then quickly recalled in his mind, as if there was indeed such a person.

"Oh...... I remember, is it the Xiucai who jumped into the river and almost drowned after being chased and killed? What's it called? …… Navel? ”

The tea that Zuo Idiot had just drunk in his mouth almost didn't squirt out when he heard the words 'belly button'.

What the hell is a belly button?

"It's Du Qingyan. I really can't talk about you, so decent, you give people names for nothing. Chu Jing reluctantly corrected.

Deng Si'er nodded and said with a smile:

"Whoever called him his name sounds similar to 'navel eye', no matter what his name is, Uncle Jing, you go on, this is related to 'navel eye', no, what does it have to do with Du Qingyan?"

"Do you remember when we asked him why he was hunted down, and he said the word 'potion'." Chu Jing paused, and then said:

"At that time, I guessed if it would have something to do with the unique 'Manifest Truth' potion of Chongyang Academy, so I sent someone to investigate, and the result... I found that there was indeed a transaction in the academy about the 'Manifest Truth' potion, and the leader was a student who sold paintings. ”

"Then the other one is Song Yuqiu?" Deng Si'er interjected and asked.

"No......," Chu Jing said.

"Isn't it?! And you still want to check him? Didn't the left idiot send the greeting post to others?! Deng Si'er only heard Chu Jing say the word 'no', so he said anxiously, interrupting Chu Jing's words.

"You listen to Uncle Jing first, don't interrupt." Zuo Idiot glanced at Deng Si'er, and when he turned around, he was surprised by his inadvertent actions.

Since when did he himself have so many small movements? Could it be that he was infected by Deng Si'er?

After getting along for such a long time, Zuo Idiot didn't realize that he had become farther and farther away from the original cold and isolated Zuo Shenzhu.

Instead, a living and lovely person who still doesn't understand the emotions of the world, but has been touched by human feelings.

At least that's what Deng Si'er thinks.

Chu Jing looked at Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er, and continued the topic just now:

"I didn't say that it wasn't Song Yuqiu, but so far, we don't have any definite evidence to confirm that Song Yuqiu is related to the shady potion trade in the academy."

Deng Si'er still didn't understand and asked:

"Then why are you still investigating Song Yuqiu?"

At this time, Zuo Idiot answered:

"The reason why Song Yuqiu was investigated was because Uncle Jing's people had followed Gao Qianli, saw a large number of 'revealing truth' potions, and entered the back door of the Song Mansion."

Chu Jing also nodded and said:

"That's right, because of this, we want to go to the Song Mansion to check first, at least to explore Song Yuqiu's tone, otherwise, we can't find a place to break through in the case we want to investigate."

"So that's the case, then do you think Song Yuqiu will meet us?" After Deng Si'er understood, he had a new question.

Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing glanced at each other and did not reply.

They don't know either.

Deng Si'er looked at the expressions of the two of them and felt that this matter might be a bit mysterious, so he leaned on the table and muttered:

"Also, if Song Yuqiu is really the initiator of the behind-the-scenes transaction, then Gao Qianli went down to the lake to fish for my bottle must have been instigated by Song Yuqiu, then he must have noticed that we were investigating this potion deal, how could he want to see us?"

As he was talking, Deng Si'er suddenly sat up straight, looked at Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing and said with a suspicious face:

"That's not right! I took out that iron box and only showed it to the two of you, how did Song Yuqiu know that I had this 'Gu worm key'?! ”

Chu Jing looked at Deng Si'er funny and said:

"Where did you hear what we said yesterday? Since Song Yuqiu can know that the 'Gu worm key' is on you, then how can he have nothing to do with those fifteen-year-old bones found in your Bai'an Village? ”

Deng Si'er just let out a faint 'oh' when he heard this, and he didn't refute or ask out loud, which made Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing strange for a while.

"What's wrong with you? Such an expression? ”

Zuo Idiot looked at Deng Si'er's suddenly listless appearance and glanced at Chu Jing a little inexplicably, although he was used to seeing Deng Si'er making noise from time to time, he still asked.

"It's nothing, I just think, what happened more than ten years ago, what if it has something to do with me? I just want to know who killed my dad and my brother, that's all. Deng Si'er said softly, a little like talking to himself.

'That's all', the four words said what Deng Si'er wanted in his heart, but it made Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing lose their words all of a sudden.

Just in the silence of the three of them, suddenly came in with respectful words:

"Lord Zuo, please accept my master's reply."

The three of them came back to their senses together, and there was a reply so soon?!

Zuo Idiot immediately turned around and walked to the visitor, took the reply and said to the person while opening it:

"It's hard work, it's hard work."

The man said a few polite words and left.

After reading the reply sent by Song Yuqiu in his hand, Zuo Idiot turned to Chu Jing and Deng Si'er and said:

"At noon the day after tomorrow, Song Yuqiu invited us to the Song Mansion for a banquet."
