Chapter 56: The Enemy Comes to the Door
Since Murong Yiyou came to Shui Qingxiang's grocery store, the business in the store has improved a lot.
I don't know if it's because of the guests attracted by Murong Yiyou's appearance, or because his little mouth is quite eloquent, which makes Shui Qingxiang feel at ease.
In addition to investigating cases, Shui Qingxiang also has a hobby, that is, to develop some new items and sell them in the store.
"Sister Xiang, what is this?" Murong Yiyou asked, pointing to the round balls in a bowl.
"This one, called mothball, is made of camphor wood, and it can be used to repel insects when placed in clothes."
"So amazing?" Murong Yiyou's eyes flashed with curious little stars, and he picked one up with his fingers and took a closer look.
"I plan to put these mothballs in the sachet next time, so that it will sell a little better, but I am not good at female workers, so I can't do this kind of thing as sewing sachets."
"Sister Qingxiang, what is this?" Murong Yiyou put down the mothballs in his hand and pointed to another strange-shaped thing and asked.
"Oh, that's it, it's tickling, I designed it to tickle, but unfortunately it didn't work out, and it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product."
Murong Yiyou scratched the stick-like thing on his back twice, and asked with interest, "Is that so?" ”
Shui Qingxiang was amused by Murong Yiyou's appearance, and nodded with a smile.
Not to mention, having this teenager in the store has added a lot of fun to myself.
Today's weather is a bit gloomy, there are fewer people shopping, and there is no business in Shui Qingxiang's grocery store for a long time.
Suddenly, a man in blue clothes walked in the door, with a wooden hairpin on his head, and he walked with a natural elegance and bearing, which was Shui Qingxiang's old acquaintance Liu Yingyi.
"Ouch, it's really the sun coming out of the west today, I don't know why Lord Liu is here?" As soon as she thought of this guy deceiving herself, Shui Qingxiang didn't have a good face for him.
Liu Yingyi walked into the grocery store and did not answer Shui Qingxiang, but looked around the messy goods in the shop, swept the smiling young man with cold eyes, and then said to Shui Qingxiang: "Since when do you still need to hire someone in this store?" ”
"I saw that he was pitiful, his search for his relatives was unsuccessful, and he had nowhere to go, so I kindly took him in...... "Hey, why should I explain so much to this guy."
At first, I thought that Liu Yingyi was coming to apologize, but I didn't expect this guy to come to find fault.
Shui Qingxiang said angrily: "Lord Liu is worried about the country and the people, hard work, and hard work to worry about my little grocery store?" Lord Liu is busy with official business, so he won't bother with the affairs of my small shop. ”
The implication is that I don't invite anyone, and the rain girl has no melon.
Murong Yiyou looked at the two of them from the side, the smile on his face was undiminished, obviously with a bit of the taste of eating melons and watching a good show.
Liu Yingyi's face still seemed to be dyed with a layer of frost, and if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was a handsome ice sculpture, and he said with a calm face: "Qiu Hu's mother and son are missing." ”
As soon as she heard this, Shui Qingxiang's face couldn't help but darken, "Missing? Haven't you placed them properly? ”
Originally, Qiu Hu's mother was imprisoned in the yamen, and Qiu Hu was placed in a family in the suburbs. But two days before we returned, Qiu Hu's mother was kidnapped, and Qiu Hu was nowhere to be found. ”
Shui Qingxiang still remembers that before going to Yancheng, she had just solved the serial case in Dongzi County, and the most sympathetic thing in this case was the mother and son, who were originally victims, because they were rescued by one of the main criminals, and they became accomplices after more than ten years.
It's a pity that the Qianmo glass lock in the case was not put together, and now even the mother and son are missing.
Without waiting for Shui Qingxiang to blame her, Liu Yingyi said in a deep voice: "The main culprit, Old Man Yan, also died in prison." ”
"What, he's dead too?" Shui Qingxiang's eyes widened, and she almost couldn't believe that the first case she came to this world to solve would be like this.
It stands to reason that this matter has been a case for many years, almost all the participants of the year died, the main culprit was arrested, and the accomplice was also locked in prison.
I didn't expect such a thing to come out, the main culprit died, the accomplice disappeared, who killed people afterwards, is there another hidden story in this case, and there are other criminals who have not been caught?
Inexplicably, Shui Qingxiang felt a fire in her chest: "What are you doing with this yamen?" Doesn't it say that there are enough manpower, how can you still let the prisoners die and run? ”
Obviously, Shui Qingxiang deceived herself two days ago and didn't let herself get angry when she was caught in the yamen.
Faced with Shui Qingxiang's questioning, Liu Yingyi was not annoyed, but ridiculed each other: "Shui girl, I said that there is no precedent for women to be on errands in the dynasty, and it is impossible for the emperor to make an exception for you." When the emperor can't do it, I can't either, do you think that the authority of this official will be greater than that of the emperor?
This official is just a small county order, and he is in charge of a Qingshui Yamen, unlike the grocery store run by the water girl, who can invite whoever he wants. I'm here just to tell you, and when I'm done, I can't stay long. ”
After speaking, Liu Yingyi flicked his sleeves and actually left like this.
Only Shui Qingxiang was left standing in place, her face was blue and purple, as if she wanted to find someone to get angry, and she had nowhere to vent.
His grandmother's, this guy is deliberately coming to the door to be angry with me.
Murong Yiyou looked at Shui Qingxiang with trepidation, and opened his mouth with some concern: "Shui Girl......"
"Don't talk to me, I don't want to talk to anyone today." Shui Qingxiang left the grocery store with an angry face, she was now holding a stomach full of fire in her stomach, afraid that anyone who found her would explode, so she quickly left the grocery store.
"What? That's what you told the Water Maiden? Ning Wuze was drinking tea in Liu Yingyi's room, and just after listening to Liu Yingyi's narration, his face immediately turned black as ash at the bottom of the pot.
"And what do you want me to say? I originally wanted to tell her what had happened, to comfort her again, and to tell her that although I could not let her take up a regular position in the yamen, I was willing to ask her to help me in the investigation in private, but she didn't wait for me to speak. ”
Ning Wu was a little speechless, junior brother, why is your EQ lower than mine, is it so comforting to comfort the girl?
Originally, I thought that the junior brother who had been single for many years had finally opened his mind and would marry before himself, a 10,000-year-old bachelor, but I didn't expect the junior brother to make the girl angry.
"When she heard about the mother and son of the enemy family, how could she calm down? I, an outsider, were a little angry when I heard this, and the people under your command are really unreliable to work. Ning Wu complained.
"Is it unreliable, or is there something else hidden, didn't the senior brother guess?" Yoo Young-yi's voice was low, and he began to make tea in his hand.
Ning Wuze's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean......" He pointed to the sky with his finger.
Yoo Young-yi nodded.
At this moment, even Ning Wuze became gloomy.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a catcher outside the yamen hurriedly running in: "Great, my lord, the holy decree...... The Divine Decree has arrived! ”
