Chapter 61: Suspicion (Ask for Collection)
Cao Xiu looked at the money shopkeeper, "Miss Lanxiang, who is she?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "Lan Xiang is a popular flower girl in Wanhualou, and in a few days there will be a Liyuan County Oiran Competition, she is one of the contestants, and this Ma boss is the gold owner behind Lan Xiang." However, a few days ago, Boss Ma seemed to want to vote for another flower girl named Qiyun, Miss Lanxiang knew about it, where was she willing, so she has been pestering Boss Ma these days.
Miss Lanxiang is the best at, Boss Ma's favorite is her song of the phoenix, and thanks to Boss Ma, Miss Lanxiang comes every night, and the business of the restaurant is better, the two of them generally sit from the time to the time, and Boss Ma occasionally chooses to rest in the guest room, such as last night, after he sent Lanxiang, he went upstairs again......"
Cao Xiu asked, "Did Boss Ma agree to Lan Xiang's request?" ”
The money shopkeeper said: "The villain knows this, at the beginning, Boss Ma was said to be moved, but the night before, he somehow changed his mind, Lan Xiang was angry, and rushed out of the door, at that time, not only the villain, but many people saw it." ”
Cao Xiu said: "Then why did they drink together again last night?" ”
The money shopkeeper said: "The villain also knows about this, I heard that the next day, it was yesterday, Boss Ma regretted it, and Lan Xiang also felt too impulsive, so they made an appointment again......
Cao Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Say a strange place, don't you mind, Boss Ma and Miss Lanxiang are talking, why don't you go to Wanhualou?" ”
Boss Qian seemed to know everything, and said: "This villain also knows this, Boss Ma, this person, he is afraid of guilt, he has been to a place like Wanhualou once, but that time, he fell in love with Lanxiang at a glance......"
Cao Xiu was stunned, and then asked, "Then last night, didn't something else happen?" ”
The money shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "It seems to be gone, the two of them got along very happily last night, Lanxiang also brought a bottle of Baihua brew sent to her by her hometown, you must know that the villain is not allowed to bring guests into the building with outside food, not to mention wine, but Lanxiang is different, and half of her credit is due to the recent booming business, so the villain doesn't talk much." ”
"Is this a potpourri?" Song Caiwei held up a small white-glazed plum vase at the table.
Boss Qian pointed to the wine bottle and said, "Yes, that's it......"
Song Caiwei opened the seal, and the aroma of the wine inside quickly floated out, and when it fell to the ground, many white bubbles immediately bubbled up on the ground, "This wine is poisonous......
The money shopkeeper was surprised, "Could it be that this poison was given by Miss Lanxiang?" It shouldn't be. ”
"Wang Xiancheng, send a few people to Wanhualou to summon Miss Lanxiang, and Boss Ma's family will also notify ......"
Wang Xiancheng raised his hand and immediately ordered the officials to do it.
Cao Xiu looked at the overall layout of the room, and asked the shopkeeper again: "Last night, did any suspicious people come in, or rather, something strange?" ”
As he spoke, he had already walked to the window of the guest room, and looked down, and below was the backyard of the restaurant, where two large elm trees blocked his view.
"The store was too busy last night, people came and went, and the villain may not have paid attention for a while, anyway, I didn't see any suspicious people."
After the money shopkeeper finished speaking, he saw Cao Xiu's fingers wiped on the windowsill, and couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
Cao Xiu reacted, turned around and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's just that there is a layer of dust on the windowsill, it may be blown in from outside, money shopkeeper, you continue." ”
The money shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "The villain has nothing to say." ”
At that moment, a woman's cry was heard outside.
"Master, you died so unjustly......"
A Roshan wearing a flower skirt ran over from the staircase, and without saying anything, he pounced directly on Boss Ma's corpse.
The money shopkeeper whispered to Cao Xiu: "This is Boss Ma's wife, Wang, this person is in the name of fierceness......
Cao Xiu nodded, and at this time, a woman with outstanding demeanor walked in outside the door, "Ma...... Brother Ma ......"
She was about to step forward, but as soon as she saw Boss Ma's wife, Wang, she immediately stopped and didn't move.
The money shopkeeper still quietly said to Cao Xiu: "This is Miss Lanxiang......"
Cao Xiu bowed slightly, feeling that a big drama was about to be staged in a while.
"You vixen, you killed the old man......" Wang heard the voice, turned around, stood up, looked at Miss Lanxiang with resentful eyes, raised his slap, and was about to hit him.
Fortunately, the official next to her saw it and immediately grabbed her.
The Lanxiang girl on the opposite side said pitifully: "No, I didn't, when I left, Brother Ma was fine......"
"Let your mother's fart, just along the way, my mother heard from my eldest brother that my master was poisoned, it was arsenic, and this medicine must have been given by you."
Wang is worthy of being a fierce woman, and her voice is very loud, as if she is arguing with someone, and the whole room is filled with her screams.
"No, how is it possible, Brother Ma is so good to me, I won't harm him."
Miss Lanxiang is the opposite of her, soft and weak, and when people see it, they want to go over to protect her.
It's no wonder that Boss Ma will be attracted by Lanxiang, he has a fierce wife, but the flower girl of Hualou is very in line with his heart, choose one of the two, he naturally wants a gentle flower girl, not a fierce wife.
Cao Xiu didn't want the two to continue arguing, so he walked to Wang's side and stopped: "Stop, don't quarrel yet." ”
Syllable!
A slap in the face.
Cao Xiu raised his hand and blocked it: "What do you want to do?" ”
Wang said: "A boy, dare to ask the old lady to stop?" ”
"Bold!"
"Oh my God, you actually dare to beat the county lord......"
"Come on, take down this shrew!"
Cao Xiu was a little speechless, when he went out just now, he forgot to wear green clothes, but with his handsome face that the sow couldn't walk anymore, Roshan on the opposite side shouldn't be rough with himself.
It was slapped just now, and it really scared the whole room.
This woman really has no eyesight, and she is also very domineering, so she wants to come
Could it be that if he takes off a layer of skin, isn't he a magistrate?
Several officials hurriedly ran over and grabbed Wang.
Wang's face turned pale suddenly, and after staying for a while, he realized who was standing in front of him.
"Zhixian, Cao Zhixian? You are the godson of the Lord of Yama, Cao Zhixian who can dissect corpses? ”
Miss Lanxiang looked at him in a daze, and her heart was also shocked.
Cao Xiu coughed lightly, isn't he a godsbrother, how did he become a godson again, this is passed on.
Then, he looked into Miss Lanxiang's eyes and said, "Well, this county is." ”
Lan Xiang shortened her body and said, "Folk girl Lan Xiang, I've seen ...... adults."
Cao Xiu nodded, Song Caiwei held up the small white glazed plum bottle and asked, "Miss Lanxiang, is this wine bottle yours?" ”
Lan Xiang looked at it carefully, and then said, "Well, this bottle belongs to the slave." ”
Song Caiwei said: "Oh, in this case, you will be very suspected of murder." ”
"What? You say this wine is poisonous? ”
Lan Xiang's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
Wang Shi lay on the ground and said coldly: "You fox spirit, killed my master, and you are still pretending to be confused, who gave you the guts......"
Cao Xiu glanced at Miss Lanxiang, "So, please explain to us......"
Lan Xiang lowered her eyes, a little aggrieved, and said: "Impossible, this wine is a thank you gift from me to Brother Ma, it has not been touched in its original form, it can't be poisonous......"
