Chapter 170: When the fake is true, the truth is also false~
After taking the decanting soup from Pinghu's hand, Gu Qi picked up Su Baiyan, who was lying on the ground, pinched his nose and poured it into him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It will be a matter of waiting for this decanting soup to work, and it is necessary for her to sort out her thoughts during this time.
Taking advantage of the time when Pinghu went out to serve tea, Gu Qi called Zongzi and Yu Chaoyang in, and explained Su Baiyan's matter concisely, and asked the two of them to help think of a way.
But after listening to Su Baiyan's wrongdoing, a certain zongzi held his hand and looked at the Su family who was lying on the bed with disdain, and spit out two words:
"Well deserved!"
"Hey, how do you talk? And is there a little sympathy! ”
Gu Qi rolled his eyes dissatisfied, no matter how he said that Su Baiyan was also their friend, and now his friend was in trouble, so he couldn't see death and not save him.
I saw Gu Qi pouting a little. mouth, a certain zongzi came to her side very undisciplined and defended: "Lady, it's not that I don't have sympathy, think about it, he hasn't been in the Su family for a day or two, and he should have understood that the matter of transporting salt has always been a major event for the Su family, and when they were willing to agree to Su Baiyan to take over, this matter was not so simple." ”
"Now, this fool has not only been stabbed by others, but also has to carry the black pot for the people behind the scenes, what do you say he deserves?"
Zongzi said that the head was the way, Gu Qi couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, I am afraid that the person behind the scenes also took a fancy to Su Baiyan's eagerness to achieve results, so that the eldest son and grandson of the Su family had no room to turn over.
This man is so ruthless!
However, since it is a conspiracy, I am not afraid that I will not find a flaw, because from a psychological point of view, if a person wants to do bad things, he will be more or less uneasy in his heart, and there will always be some clues left, unless the person has a very high psychological quality.
Moreover, Pinghu also said just now that the cause of the salt transportation incident was the inexplicable fire, and it is obvious that the arsonist and the person who smuggled the smuggled salt must have been committed by one person.
If the cause of the fire can be found, the rest will be much easier.
Thinking of this, Gu Qi called Pinghu and asked him to recount the events of the day, until she heard Pinghu say that all the guards sent by Su Baiyan to guard that day were asleep or simply died in the fire, so she told Pinghu to stop.
"You're saying that basically no one sees how the fire is on fire, right?" Gu Qi raised her eyebrows and asked, she always felt that there must be something wrong with this.
Pinghu nodded, and then replied: "Indeed, none of the people on the boat remembered afterwards how the warehouse where the salt was put caught fire, but the wind was very strong that day, and most people thought that it was because the river wind was too strong, which caused the glass lamps on the ship to fall and caused the fire, so this was inseparable from the dereliction of duty of the young master's subordinates." ”
"So no one knows the real cause of the fire?"
Gu Qi held his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed, I'm afraid that even the people behind the scenes never thought about it, some things are true when they are true, since no one has seen it exactly, then this matter is much easier: "Pinghu, let me ask you, are the burned big ship and the surviving shipwrights on board at that time all there?"
"It's here, it's all there." Looking at Miss Gu's excited face, Pinghu unconsciously became excited: "The big boat that had an accident is at the dock, and I have a list of surviving boatmen here, if the girl needs it, Pinghu can take the girl over!" ”
"Then we might as well go and see what kind of demons and monsters are making trouble."
Gu Qi's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked slightly, she was afraid of evil in these years, not to mention her "eyes" to help!!
Quietly followed Pinghu out of the back door of the Su family, Gu Qi looked around from time to time, for fear that the few eyes of the Su family would block their way, and it was also thanks to their good luck today that they didn't meet acquaintances all the way.
Following Pinghu all the way to the south of the town, along the river, Gu Qi found that the south side of the town was so prosperous, she hadn't even paid attention to it before.
Both sides of the river are full of house-to-house dwellings, and the yards of some houses are still full of parallel goods, and the south side is obviously richer than the north side compared to the environment in the north of the town.
Thinking that these people are also thanks to the care of the Su family's business, otherwise they would not have seen Pinghu so enthusiastic, especially a few elderly aunts, as soon as they saw Pinghu coming, they stuffed things into his arms, and they didn't stop, which made Gu Qi on the side laugh sullenly twice, and Pinghu turned his head embarrassedly and scratched his head awkwardly.
"Let's make everyone laugh, people here are like this, if you don't take these things, those aunts won't be happy!"
Gu Qi covered his mouth and snickered twice, and said, "Then are the surviving boatmen you said also here?" ”
"Yes, yes." Pinghu pointed to a thatched hut not far in front of him and said, "Miss Gu, have you seen it, that's there, the boatman's surname is Hu, and the water is very good, so our young master picked him to go." ”
Sure enough, smoke was rising from the thatched hut not far away, and it seemed that the family was preparing food.
Gu Qi and Pinghu, as well as Mu Guihong, walked into the boatman's house together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the family sitting at the table, preparing to eat, and there were five or six plates on the table, which did not look rich.
"Brother Hu, these are a few friends of the young master, I want to come to find out about the situation that day." Pinghu said this to a big sturdy man, and it seemed that this dark-skinned, but good-looking man was the person he had said before.
The man looked up at them a few times, frowned slightly, and said to Pinghu with some impatience: "I told the stewards of the Su family about the situation that day, what else do you want to ask!" You can't still suspect that we hard-working shipwrights did it! ”
"No, no, no...... How come, Brother Hu, don't get me wrong......" Pinghu was busy explaining, but Gu Qi interjected: "If it's a misunderstanding, you have to see the evidence to know!" ”
"What do you mean?" The man glanced at Gu Qi, and the fist in his hand clenched unconsciously: "Are you saying that we deliberately framed the eldest young master of the Su family?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Qi chuckled: "I believe you won't, but what I want to look at is evidence, and without evidence, what you say and do is meaningless." Besides......" Gu Qi glanced at the Hu family who was sitting nervously at the table looking at them: "You don't want to set a bad example for them, do you?" ”
The boatman surnamed Hu frowned, and glanced at Gu Qi in a daze: "I can't tell you what you want to know, but if you really want to help him, you might as well go to the riverbank to have a look, maybe there is something you want to know there." ”
