Chapter 289: Touching Melons (1 Update)
Li Yi's front feet walked out of Du Ruhui's courtyard, and he saw an old farmer carrying a double bucket, walking towards the house.
This is not surprising, it seems that it is the old farmer that the cooks say.
ββSpecially collect the rice residue from the house and take it back to feed the pigs.
It's just that when he entered the mansion, he saw that the mansion was heavily guarded, and the old farmer's face couldn't help but change slightly, and his right shoulder couldn't help but tremble.
This scene happened to be seen clearly and truly by Li Yi.
"This man has a ghost!" Li Yi said secretly in his heart.
From a psychological point of view, even if it wasn't poisoned by him, there must be ghosts.
Otherwise, the old farmer would not have these subconscious fearful actions.
So, Li Yi stopped and hid to the side to observe carefully.
I saw that the old farmer didn't seem to expect that Du Xiang's mansion suddenly became heavily guarded today, he turned around tremblingly, carried a double bucket, and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.
Li Yi followed all the way, and the distance was just right, to ensure that he would not be discovered, and he was just the right one to stare at him.
In the corners of the back kitchen.
Seeing that there was no one around, the old farmer almost subconsciously wiped a handful of Han stains, and at the same time, he turned around and looked around cautiously and vigilantly, but when he saw that no one found it, he took a deep breath and walked to the back kitchen.
"Could it be...... Someone borrowed the old farmer's hand to prepare to murder Uncle Du? β
Li Yi secretly guessed in his heart and found that this seemed to be a clue.
At this time, Li Yi, who originally decided to go out of the house in person to buy a pair of laxatives and come back, suddenly felt that this old farmer was very suspicious, so Li Yi followed.
At this moment, the old farmer had already entered the back kitchen, and Li Yi was hiding outside the door.
In the back kitchen, the old farmer wanted to pour the rice scraps into the bucket, but the cooks directly refused.
"Lao Cao, in this rice dregs, I don't know which bastard who "didn't give birth to a child" was secretly poisoned, and today's rice dregs ...... I'm afraid you won't be able to take it. The fat cook said helplessly.
"Ah-" the old peasant was taken aback on the spot, and raised his voice in disbelief, and asked, "how come?" The villain has always collected rice residues, why ...... today? What happened to you? Du Xianggong was secretly poisoned? β
"Hey, I don't know!" The fat cook said again, "Just now, Childe personally found out that it was poisonous, and I don't know which immoral guy did it!" β
The thin cook on the side took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and scolded: "Special mother, don't let Lao Tzu find out who it is, if you let Lao Tzu find out, Lao Tzu will definitely kill this turtle grandson!" first tried to murder Du Xiang, and then, he actually tried to blame a few of us for this! β
"Yes, this despicable villain who was poisoned must not die well, he didn't give birth to a child, and his mother-in-law was grassed!" The other cook also scolded loudly, his voice full of annoyance.
Seeing this, an imperceptible surprise flashed on the old farmer's face, and at the same time he hurriedly asked, "What about Du Xiang...... Du Xiang now, how is he? Du Xiang...... Du Xiang didn't ...... You okay? β
The thin cook's voice sounded again: "Hey, I'm just afraid...... Du Xiang is already difficult to treat, and so far, Childe has not found an antidote..."
"Yes, this group of shameless and despicable villains, I don't know what poison they have made, and they even make Childe helpless!" The fat cook said again, "Childe is the imperial doctor, before, Du Xiang's illness was cured by Childe..."
"Hey......" The other cook also shook his head and sighed.
The old peasant was silent and silent.
Not long after, hearing footsteps in the house, Li Yi quickly turned around and hid, and the old farmer, who did not take the rice residue, walked out of the back kitchen with a double bucket empty.
On the way out of the house along the way, the old farmer didn't have anything unusual, but Li Yi found that the old farmer's footsteps seemed to have become much faster than when he came.
And the gait is turbulent!
Seeing the strange behavior of the old farmer, Li Yi became more and more determined in his guess.
"If there are no ghosts, why is this happening?"
Not long after, the old farmer came to the door of the mansion with a double bucket, ready to leave the mansion.
But unfortunately, when the old peasant walked to the door, he was stopped by the guards of the mansion and said coldly: "You are in the mansion first, stay for a while, during this time, no one is allowed to enter or leave!" β
"Yes...... But, sir. The old slave's face was suddenly full of bitterness, and he said in a trembling voice, "Villain...... The villain just came to the house to take the waste residue, the villain has been in the house, and he has been taking the rice residue for several years, why is it today...... Don't let people go? β
"Ask less!" The guard replied coldly, his face cold and ruthless.
"This ......" The old farmer just wanted to argue, but as soon as the Tang knife in the guard's hand was drawn, the old farmer was immediately frightened and speechless, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to fight back, so he had to shrink his head stupidly and freeze in place.
Seeing this scene, Li Yi smiled lightly and called Yue'er.
"Childe." Yue'er shouted with a solemn face.
"Yue'er, you go, order the guards to let the old farmer out, by the way, you follow him, presumably ...... Should be able to find clues. Li Yi ordered with a smile.
"Uh......" Yue'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Childe." β
Then Yue'er walked over and let the old farmer out of the house according to Li Yi's instructions.
"Thank you, official, thank you little lady." The old farmer hurriedly nodded in thanks, and went out of Du Xiang's mansion with a double bucket in a daze.
Seeing that no one was following behind him, the sweat on the old farmer's cheeks was almost soaking through his clothes.
"Huhu...... Could it be that Du Ping has really been poisoned by people? The old peasant's heart beat wildly, and at the same time he clenched his teeth fiercely, shook his head, and quickly turned away.
It's just that what the old farmer didn't know was that Yue'er had already followed behind him.
After turning a few corners, the old farmer came to an inn, carried a double bucket, greeted the shopkeeper, and went directly into the inn.
The same is also the back kitchen.
Only this time, in the back kitchen of the inn, there was no cook, but an extra masked man.
"The thing...... How's it going? The masked man asked in a deep voice, "Du Ruhui now, how is the situation?" β
"Back to the words of the Seventh Master." The old farmer lowered his head tremblingly, did not dare to look at the masked man, pulled his body, and said, "The villain went to Du Mansion and found that Du Mansion was heavily guarded, and listening to the cook, Du Xiang seemed to be ...... It's almost gone. β
The masked man was stunned for a moment, and then, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his eyes, and he asked again: "That guy Li Boan, have you found the poison in it?" β
"Nope." The old farmer replied honestly, subconsciously glanced at the masked man, and said, "Moreover, it seems that so far, Li Gongzi has only discovered the source of the poison, but ...... However, no solution was found. β
"Well, go ahead." Seeing this, the masked man waved his hand and advised, "If you dare to leak the slightest bit of news, be careful of your whole family's lives!" β
"The villain knows, the villain knows......" The old farmer hurriedly replied, but then, the old farmer asked timidly, "Seventh master, I just don't know, can the villain ...... See your wife and children? β
"When the time comes, a certain will naturally reunite your family, don't worry!" The masked man said.
"Yes, Seventh Master." The old farmer was relieved, and quickly filled the double bucket with rice residues, and then turned around and walked out of the back kitchen, and it was only then that the masked man ripped off his mask.
"Hmph, Li Bo'an, dare to fight with a certain brother? Look at how Lao Tzu plays you to death! The man smiled faintly, then changed his clothes and went out of the back kitchen, no different from the usual diners...
β¦β¦
Yue'er, who entered the inn, took the opportunity to hide secretly, and happened to overhear the conversation of the people inside.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yue'er quickly found a seat and sat down, staring at the back kitchen with her eyes.
After a while, a handsome man walked out from the back kitchen.
Yue'er just glanced at it, and saw this person's appearance clearly, but in Yue'er's impression, it seems that she has not seen this person yet.
Then, Yue'er ordered something in a fake way, and when she saw the man walking out, Yue'er also hurriedly checked out and followed.
It's the same tailgating all the way.
Yue'er, who had experience, was completely unnoticed, and when she saw the man walk into a mansion, Yue'er immediately frowned.
"The Hong family's mansion? Could it be that the Hong family intended to murder Du Xiang? Yue'er thought about it, and it seemed that there was no intersection between them.
But Yue'er still decided to sneak in and find out.
found a no-man's corner, Yue'er mentioned her steps, and the whole person was like a fairy, using the power of the wall to fly up to the Hongfu Mansion.
From the roof, groping all the way, Yue'er, who was condescending, found a figure sitting in the courtyard at this time.
And the person who was called the seventh master by the old farmer came to a son-in-law at this time, and said with a smile: "Childe, everything is arranged, that guy Cao is afraid of death, so he has told so-and-so." Li Bo'an didn't find the antidote, Du Xiang will definitely die today! β
"Is that true?" Brother Gongzi's man asked with a deep brow.
"Seriously!" The seventh master said with a smile, sat down at the same time, and said lightly while drinking tea, "As long as you are poisoned by silver poison, Childe still thinks that there can be a way to save him in this world?" β
"Huhu..."The boy shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Li Bo'an has excellent medical skills, and he almost forgot about it before, but fortunately, it is also equipped with the thing of forgetfulness grass." β
"Isn't it?" The seventh master smiled, put down the teacup, and said slowly, "Don't worry, son, they can't find out about this matter, but it is the shopkeeper Xu of the Drunken Immortal Building, I'm afraid it's going to be over!" β
"Hmph, Lao Tzu has wanted to kill him for a long time!" Brother Gongzi smiled lightly and said, "Anyone who approaches Li Bo'an, you can't let go of any of them, have you chosen the next person to do it?" β
"Don't worry, Childe." The seventh master smiled and said mysteriously, "That stinky boy, he won't be able to jump for a few days, so I'll do it in the afternoon!" β
"That's good......"
