Chapter 153: All for Food
The shopkeeper of the "Shanhai Medicinal Materials Firm" in the capital married his daughter-in-law today, and the flowing water seat was placed on a whole street, and the guests were like clouds, and the people who came to give gifts carried the burden in and out were very lively, and Ni's house was crowded with people.
The shopkeeper Ni is taking his son to toast the VIPs and relatives and friends of the female family in the front hall, and the whole house is shouting five and six to push the cup to change the cup and drink lively. The back hall was very quiet, the bride was covered with a red hijab, sitting on the big red wedding bed, her heart was pounding, guessing what her future husband would look like.
In ancient times, the parents had the final say on the marriage of men and women, and those who were children only obeyed had to stay until the day of marriage and entered the cave room to know what their other half was like.
Therefore, the bride prayed to God in her heart to let her marry a wishful man with good facial features. However, from now on, as a wife, the husband's handsomeness and ugliness are secondary, the most important thing is to be good to yourself, as long as you have a good heart, ugly is down-to-earth.
The bride was thinking wildly, suddenly heard a squeak, the door was pushed open, the bride was a little surprised, if the groom came, it should be sent by someone, there should be a lot of people at the door, but the door is quiet, the sound of the front hall is only faintly audible, who will come in? Is it a maid mother?
The bride didn't dare to ask, but she heard the footsteps approaching, came to her and stopped, and from the hem of the hijab, the bride vaguely saw a pair of embroidered shoes. Coupled with the sound of small footsteps she had heard earlier, the bride concluded that the person who had come must have been a woman, and, judging by the style of the embroidered shoes, it must have been an elderly woman. Without waiting for her to ask, she suddenly felt a pain behind her ear, and then felt the world spin, and she fell on her back on the bed, and the big red hijab fell to the side.
An old woman stood in front of the bed, holding a long gold needle with two fingers in her hand, looked at the fainting bride, snorted coldly, inserted the gold needle into the syringe and put it back in her pocket, took out a small piece of gold from her arms, took a step forward, knelt on the bed on one knee, reached out and pinched the bride's cheeks, let her open her red lips, and put the gold nugget in her two fingers and stuffed it into the bride's mouth.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, a scarlet marble lightning flashed and struck the woman's wrist.
The old woman screamed, and her right wrist had been shattered by the marble. The gold nugget that he was holding in his fingers also fell on the bed.
The old woman reacted quickly, and knew from the strength and accuracy of this marble that the person who came was a master, and she was not an opponent just for this secret weapon. Without thinking about it, she reached out with her left hand and tried to grab the bride's neck on the bed, ready to take her hostage, but before her hand could reach the bride's throat, three marbles flashed and struck her left elbow and both legs and knees.
This time the old woman was prepared and dodged two, but the third hit her in the knee and she screamed and fell to the bed.
She endured the pain, got up and tried to grab the bride again, but at this moment, a cold short blade was already on her neck, and she did not dare to move as if she had been immobilized.
It was Lin Qingdai who restrained the old woman.
Then the doors and windows were pushed open, and several yamen catchers rushed in with steel knives and pointed at her.
At the forefront was Dong Zhukuai of Kaifeng Mansion.
Dong Zhu quickly pointed a thick-backed machete at the old woman, and said sharply: "You old witch! Did you use gold nuggets to trick my son into swallowing and kill my son? Say! ”
The old woman was not flustered, and turned her head to look at Lin Qingdai: "Respect the handsome kung fu!" ”
Lin Qingdai said coldly: "It's over!" Xiangyun shroud store looking for a shopkeeper! ”
"You know me?"
"I just met, just after Zhao's shopkeeper killed people with gold nuggets, it took a lot of trouble to find you, and your martial arts are not bad, but kung fu is used to strengthen the body and eliminate violence, not to harm others, even children of a few years old like you!"
The old woman looked up to the sky and laughed, her voice was extremely harsh, and she took a break for a while: "That's right, this fast son was killed by me stealing gold nuggets, because he deserves to die!" ”
Dong Zhu laughed angrily: "My son is only four years old, is there a damn fault?" ”
"Ambition is not old, and mistakes are not young! Remember? On the day of Laba Festival, your family went to the night market, how much food did your four-year-old son waste?! ”
Dong Zhu was stunned, their husband and wife doted on their children, they bought whatever they wanted, and they often bought a lot of food when they went shopping, but their son often couldn't eat a few bites and pushed them away, and finally had to throw them away. Dong Zhu was puzzled and asked: "What my son eats, we bought it with money, we spent the money, we are happy to eat it and throw it away!" What a waste! Are you going to kill my son just because of this? ”
"Is this sin still small? Do you know how many people your son can feed with the food he throws away?! A man like your son, who does not care for food, does not deserve to live in this world! So, I'm going to feed you nuggets, aren't you rich? Don't you don't care about food? Well, let the nuggets be your food, and let you die on the money you don't care about eating! ”
Dong Zhukuai and the others were stupid for a while, they couldn't imagine that this old woman would waste food for her son and poison a three- or four-year-old child!
A man behind Du Wenhao said in a deep voice: "It's really undesirable to waste food, but the sin is not to death, let alone just a three- or four-year-old child!" Presumably, the old mother of Master Zhan in the Ministry of Rites Examination is also because of a waste of food, so you also gave her a gold nugget and let her die on money, right? ”
The old woman took a large number of glances at the man: "You are Du Wenhao, the sitting doctor of Fuyun Hall?" ”
This person is Du Wenhao, when he heard this, he said strangely: "You know me?" ”
"Of course, the old man killed so many people, and only three survived,—— this son of Dong Zhukuai, the old mother of Zhan Di in the Ministry of Rites, and Feng Da, the son of the Feng family. If they survive, you saved them. - Your medical skills are not bad! The one who swallows gold can be saved, but I'm afraid you're the only one in the world! ”
"How do you know I saved it?"
"Let no one know unless you do!" The old woman pointed at Lin Qingdai: "Although the old body's martial arts are not as good as this girl's, the old body's light skills are still good." After the old man got the gold nugget, he would always follow the results, so when you rescued Dong Zhukuai's son, the old man had already seen it all. Also, the spies you arranged near Dong Zhukuai's house are also very clear! You pretend to be a fool and fool others, but you can't fool me! ”
Dong Zhukuai was surprised and looked at Du Wenhao: "Doctor Wen, are you ...... Are you the miracle doctor who saved my son's life? ”
Du Wenhao hurriedly smiled: "Don't listen to her, she is talking nonsense." ”
"Am I talking nonsense? Haha, don't you know it best! ”
Du Wenhao hurriedly diverted the topic: "Why did you kill Zhan Di's mother?" She has no grudges against you! ”
"There are more people who have no grievances and no hatred with the old body, just like this old mother and this old pious woman! This old immortal birthday banquet, how much food and drink is wasted, countless tables of chickens, ducks and fish are all poured out in vain, and people who don't know how to cherish food deserve to die! What's more, if you are a rich person, you should cherish your money even more! ”
Du Wenhao said again: "Even if you hate the rich, but Feng Da, the son of the Feng family, mother and son both rely on scavenging for a living, not to mention wasting it, even a piece of rice is eager to be cut open and eaten, what do they have worthy of your Dong Laojin's murder?" ”
"He? Hum! More damn it! Since life has become so bitter, I even poured out two large bowls of dumplings! Don't you deserve to die! ”
Du Wenhao was stunned for a moment: "Pour out two bowls of dumplings?" Impossible! ”
"What is impossible, I saw it with my own eyes! - By the way, there is something that the old body has never understood, can you tell me? ”
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
"How did you find me?"
"I told you, would you also like to answer a question from me?"
"Good! I promise you. ”
"Well, it's actually very simple, you poison it with gold nuggets, which shows that you don't care about money at all. And don't care about the big money, when you enter the roof of the Feng family, the rope you use is the waist silk of the shroud. This narrowed the scope to a few large shroud shops in the city, and in addition, when you poisoned Feng's son Ah Da, when you went up to the roof and prepared to sneak in, you didn't expect that it was freezing cold, and Feng believed it when she had an acute attack of asthma, and later they helped me master the experience of money You have asthma, intermittent attacks. I had a brief seizure, and I was heard by Feng in the house, and told me, I carefully examined Feng's ear root acupoint, and found a small needle hole. ”
"Small needle eye?" The old woman was taken aback, "What can you do if you see it?" ”
"The eye of the needle is small, but it's enough for me to find you!"
"Really?"
Of course, Du Wenhao knows that under the skin at the base of the human ear, there are multiple nerve branches such as the greater auricular nerve and the minor occipital nerve. Therefore, the root of the ear is an extremely sensitive part, and pinching the base of the ear can produce a sharp soreness that can make a person faint.
Du Wenhao said: "Yes, this small needle eye shows that most of the people who do it are good at acupuncture, and the fact that he can sneak into Feng Da's house without knowing it already shows that the murderer is good at martial arts!" Sure enough, yes! So I sent someone to wait in your Yunxiang sewing shop, and I followed you here today, and when I saw the resentment in your eyes when I saw those people who were wasting on the big table and the big table, I knew that you were going to be poisoned. ”
"Clever! It turns out that there are sober-minded characters like Dr. Du in Kaifeng Mansion, admire and admire! ”
Du Wenhao smiled faintly: "It's time for you to answer my question, is it okay?" ”
"Good! You ask. ”
"Why do you want to kill people who waste food?"
The old woman smiled sadly: "Because my son is starving to death!" ”
Du Wenhaoqi said: "No! You are so rich, how can you let your son starve to death? ”
"At that time, I had no money, my family was flooded, the crops were flooded, my husband was also drowned, I took my son to flee the famine and ask for food, but many people would rather throw away the wine and meat than give us beggars a little food! I watched my son starve to death in my arms, and I swore to kill everyone who wasted food! ”
