Chapter 20: Exposed
Yoo Young-yi's eyes were half-squinted, and her mind fell into a long memory.
He and Ning Wu were raised by their masters since they were children, and the knowledgeable masters regarded them as their own, remembering that they were not in good health when they were children, but their mouths were very tricky, and they liked those fragrant pastries, especially the sweet osmanthus cakes.
The master prefers himself and often makes osmanthus cakes for himself to eat, because this is not the taste of Ning Wu, and once he stole all the newly made osmanthus cakes and snatched Liu Yingyi's fox fur coat. For this reason, the master beat him with a whip, and there are still traces of the year on the two buttocks.
Looking back now, it was all fun stories from my youth. The master only has two apprentices, and it is impossible to remember the preferences and names of the two of them wrongly, but the master wrote a letter to write the preferences and experiences of both of them in reverse, is it sick and confused, or is it intentional?
In Liu Yingyi's impression, it was impossible for his brilliant master to make such a low-level mistake, but this letter was obviously the handwriting of the old master.
Then, there is only one possibility for the whole thing, the master did it on purpose, and wanted Ning Wuze to inform Liu Yingyi that something had happened to him.
Since adulthood, the three masters and apprentices have also gathered less and separated more.
Compared with Liu Yingyi, who is willing to stay away from the court and the center of power, Ning Wuze is also a picture of idle clouds and wild cranes, and the generals in the capital are unwilling to be the generals, and they are willing to be an unknown innkeeper in a poor and destitute small county.
"When I finish the official documents at hand, I will go to see the master with you in two days."
"In two days?" Obviously, Ning Wuze was not satisfied with this decision, he was impatient and only received the letter yesterday, so he hurried over today, eager to immediately pull Liu Yingyi and rush to the master's mansion.
"The murderer has just been caught, and the theft of tribute has not yet been clarified, and the matter has not yet been sorted out, how can you just leave? Besides, my county government is understaffed. As soon as she thought of Qin Zhutou, who had been tied up for a few days, Liu Yingyi felt a faint sadness.
Also sad is Qin Zhutou, who had just been rescued by his colleagues and hurried to work.
"Ahh......h
"Boss, you haven't shown up for the past few days, but you've all killed us!" A few catchers under Qin's head chattered about it.
"That's it, fortunately, the boss Ji people have their own natural appearance, plus strong martial arts, and they are naturally blessed with great lives."
Listening to the rainbow fart blown by his subordinates, Qin Zhutou was a little shocked, "Damn, who would have thought that the owner of the tofu shop who had been patronizing for a few years was actually the murderer of the tribute theft case back then, and just ate a bowl of tofu brain, this old man almost killed me, but fortunately, Lao Tzu was witty, so I didn't suffer much loss!" ”
As for being hungry, beaten by Lao Yantou, and beaten by a stinky Taoist priest in the past few days, he will not say it, and no one will know about it in this life.
"That old man Yan also doesn't open his eyes, he doesn't want to enjoy his old age at a great age, and he still wants to toss people when he is old."
"The tribute back then was priceless, who wouldn't want to make a fortune."
"Hmph, that's going to have to be that life. Boss, you've been around for a few days, but we've been tired. ”
"Yes, yes, there was a succession of deaths, and the head suddenly disappeared, and Lord Liu and that night pot girl ...... No, I went to Lan County next door with the water girl to investigate the case, and the county office was deserted. ”
"What? Lord Liu and her went to Yulan County to investigate the case? Qin Zhutou's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
A few days ago, it was a little-known grocery store owner, because of a broken brain suddenly fell in love with the investigation, but it fell into the eyes of the county magistrate, and a few days ago he let himself test the other party a little, it didn't take long, I didn't expect to be brought to the side to investigate the case all of a sudden.
Seeing the "Night Pot Girl" who was not eye-catching in the past, she became a celebrity around the county order as soon as she opened her eyes, and as a head hunter, she was kidnapped by the murderer, and her career was in jeopardy.
Suddenly, Qin Zhutou's face immediately became gloomy, and there were some mixed feelings in his heart.
Although the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, if it is a martial artist who is stronger than himself, it will be counted, but it is a woman, or a "night pot girl" who has broken her brain, Qin Zhutou is really unwilling.
Is his grandmother's really going to be forced to retire early and change careers? Qin Zhutou, who was originally asked by the county order to have a good rest, began to feel uneasy.
……
Shui Qingxiang returned home, the store was closed for a few days, and the house was deserted.
My father has been taking care of the neighbors' uncles and aunts these days, although these neighbors are a little bit broken and gossipy, but they are still good.
Shui Qingxiang is not in business, so he is not interested in the grocery store in the house, and now there is a promise from the county magistrate, and it is only a matter of time before he works on an errand in the county office.
When the errand of catching the fast came down, Shui Qingxiang wanted to sell this shop out and do the work she liked wholeheartedly.
The only thing that can't be relieved is this father who is paralyzed in bed.
Although he is the father of Shui Qingxiang in the past, as a qualified traverser with good character and excellent thinking, it is impossible for Shui Qingxiang to leave his father.
It's just that Shui Qingxiang's father is a little weird, he seems to have seen through himself in the morning, but he didn't tell it directly, and his seemingly paralyzed body always hides a lot of secrets.
"Dad, I'm back with your favorite mung bean cake." Shui Qingxiang stepped into the door, put down the pastry and began to boil the medicine.
According to Shui Dali's condition, he needs to drink alcohol every day to stabilize his condition, in fact, with his current condition, he only needs to use more good medicine to nourish and do some exercise on weekdays, and he should be able to recover his health.
It's a pity that with the current economic situation of the Shui family, she can't afford the kind of tonic that needs hundreds of taels or thousands of taels of silver at every turn.
As for exercising every day, Shui Qingxiang mentioned it to her father several times, but Shui Dali either closed his eyes and ignored himself, or looked at himself with resentment.
Shui Qingxiang boiled the medicine, put a bowl in a small bowl, and brought it to Shui Dali: "Dad, the medicine is boiled, let's drink the medicine first." ”
Shui Li lay motionless on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep.
But Shui Qingxiang knew in her heart that Shui Dali was still the same as before, pretending not to hear anything, because at the moment she just entered the door, Shui Qingxiang obviously saw Shui Dali twisting her neck and glancing at herself.
Shui Qingxiang put down the medicine first, then lifted the water vigorously and fed him the medicine.
Unexpectedly, Shui Dali didn't know where to find a dagger, and at the moment when Shui Qingxiang helped him up, the sharp dagger instantly hit Shui Qingxiang's neck.
Shui Dali's eyes widened angrily, judging the old man who usually looked sick, "I know you are not Xiang'er, but you have a face like her, I have heard that Miao Jiang has witchcraft, which can turn people's faces into another person." Tell me, where did you get my daughter? ”
Shui Qingxiang didn't expect that she would work hard to imitate the original owner and do her filial piety for the original owner, but in the end, such a traverser would still be seen through.
She sighed a little helplessly, "Alas, since you want to listen, I'll tell you the truth." ”
