Chapter 058: The Lonely Scholar

After Sha'er finished saying that, she seemed to suddenly realize something, and her face changed suddenly.

At this time, Su Wuming frowned slightly and asked, "Since you have been by Cheng Feng's side, has he eaten or drank?" ”

Sha'er thought for a while, and then nodded again and again: "After coming to the Qiantang River, the young master suddenly said that he was thirsty, but we didn't bring water when we came, at this time, that Zhou Tong suddenly came over, he said that he brought a gourd of wine, if my young master doesn't mind, you can drink it, my young master was very thirsty at the time, where would he mind, took the wine gourd and drank it." When Sha'er said this, she suddenly exclaimed: "Master Su, could it be that Zhou Tong who poisoned the wine?" ”

As soon as Sha'er said this, Jian'er and Huan'er shouted to arrest Zhou Tong.

At this time, the sun has been slanting to the west, the wind is the evening wind, Jian'er and Huan'er just shouted, that Zhou Tong walked out of the crowd, after he came out, he immediately took the wine gourd on his body, and then raised his neck to drink a few sips of the wine inside, so after drinking, he said: "If my wine is poisonous, won't I not be able to live?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Tong made his move first, Sha'er suddenly snorted coldly and said: "When you went to get the tide, you didn't bring the wine gourd with you at all, who knows if anyone changed the wine in it at that time." ”

Hearing Sha'er's words, Zhou Tong's face showed a hint of depression, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed a few times and said: "What a joke, I, Zhou Tong, am a white ding, and I don't even have a subordinate, who will help me change the wine?" What's more, before giving Young Master Cheng Feng a drink, I also drank it, and someone saw it on the way, and they can testify to it. ”

After Zhou Tong finished saying this, two more people came out of the crowd, and after they stood up, they said: "Zhou Tong is right, when we just walked on the street, Zhou Tong had already drunk the wine inside, not only did he drink it, but the two of us also drank a few sips. ”

Sha'er didn't admit defeat, and said: "Maybe Zhou Tong poisoned it after you drank it, after he poisoned my young master, he changed the wine in it while he had the tide receded." ”

As soon as Sha'er said this, Zhou Tong wanted to crush the gourd in his hand angrily, but although he was angry, he had nothing to say.

Seeing that they were arguing like this, Su Wuming suddenly smiled and said, "Zhou Tong, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Zhou Tong glanced at Su Wuming, he felt that the Su Wuming in front of him was very young, younger than himself, and looking at his figure, he should be very weak, his eyes flashed slightly, and said: "What else can I say, if Master Su thinks I am a murderer, arrest me." ”

Su Wuming didn't let people catch Zhou Tong, he smiled again, and said: "Now that you are in the top three, I don't know how many silver taels you can get?" ”

"Is this related to a murder?"

"Of course it's related, if Cheng Feng doesn't die, how can you get these rewards?"

When Su Wuming said this, Zhou Tong's face changed suddenly, and he said after a long time: "Ten money!" ”

"Ten yuan of money, a lot, enough for a family to eat for a few months!"

Zhou Tong's face was pale, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, Qian Sheng brought someone over, and when he saw the corpse, he was very surprised and said, "This ...... How did this tide get people killed, Master Su, what the hell is going on? ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly and said, "Lord Qian, this matter couldn't be simpler, can't you see that there is a person murdered here?" ”

Qian Sheng was shocked again: "What, murdered?" ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly: "Okay, Lord Qian, send someone to carry the body back, has the family of the deceased been notified?" ”

"Returning to Lord Su's words, I was informed, this is ...... This Cheng family is also a big family in Qiantang County, but how could his son be a tide maker, this is really a big trouble! After Qian Sheng said this, he sent someone to carry away the body of the deceased Cheng Feng.

And at this time, Su Wuming said to Zhou Tong: "You should also go to the county office!" ”

Zhou Tong was a little helpless, but he still followed.

On the way, Su Wuming asked about the situation of the deceased's family, the deceased Cheng Feng's family is a big family in Qiantang County, his father Cheng Zhi has a good fortune and a lot of family assets, this Cheng Feng was born to Cheng Zhi and his original wife, and because Cheng Feng is very smart and has Cheng Zhi's business mind, so he is very favored, and in addition to Cheng Feng, Cheng Zhi also has a son and a daughter, named Cheng Yu and Cheng Die, both of them were born to Cheng Zhi's concubine room, but they were born to different concubines.

In other words, these young ladies in Cheng Mansion are all half-siblings.

After learning this, Su Wuming felt that the relationship between Cheng Fu was really complicated, and it was easy to get confused.

When returning to the county government from the Qiantang River, the sunset was about to end, and there were already two people waiting in the county hall of the county government, one of the two was a middle-aged man, and the other was a scholar, the middle-aged man thought that Cheng Zhi was Cheng Zhi, and the scholar might be Cheng Yu, I saw that Cheng Zhi had a sad face, walking around the lobby, and when he saw the official carrying the corpse into the hall, he suddenly rushed up like crazy.

When he saw the face that had been somewhat distorted, but still recognizable, he suddenly lost his voice and cried bitterly, he was already middle-aged, his back was slightly bent, and when he lay on his son's corpse and cried, it gave people an indescribable sadness.

When Cheng Zhi was crying, Su Wuming glanced at the scholar standing aside, his eyes were a little hollow, making people not know what he was thinking, but it was certain that he did not show a trace of sadness.

This made Su Wuming feel very strange, they are brothers, after so many years, there must always be a little feeling, right? Even if they are half-brothers, and they may have a discord over the family property, but in such a situation, he always has to show a trace of sadness, right?

Looking at this scholar, Su Wuming began to doubt his judgment, and he suddenly felt that this scholar might not be Cheng Yu.

But at this time, the crying Cheng Zhi shouted to the scholar: "Yu'er, you go back to the house, let the housekeeper Uncle Yun prepare for the funeral, and I will give your brother a beautiful funeral." ”

Hearing Cheng Zhi say this, Su Wuming's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, it seems that he should still insist on his own judgment, this scholar with empty eyes is indeed Cheng Yu.

I saw that after Cheng Yu listened to Cheng Zhi's words, he didn't say a word, and ran out in a hurry, and when Cheng Yu ran out, Qian Sheng said with a little embarrassment: "Master Cheng, Ling Lang's body, I'm afraid it can't be buried immediately, he ...... He was murdered and poisoned. ”

As soon as Qian Sheng's words were finished, Cheng Zhi suddenly jumped up from the corpse and said angrily: "My son was poisoned? ”

Seeing that Cheng Zhi's eyes were red, revealing a fierce light, Qian Sheng was slightly shocked, and then hurriedly replied: "That's true, Master Su can testify to this." ”

Cheng Zhi glanced at Su Wuming and asked, "Master Su, my son was really poisoned, who poisoned him?" ”

Before Su Wuming could answer, Sha'er, who had been standing next to him, suddenly pointed at Zhou Tong and said, "Master, it's him, it's this Zhou Tong, before the young master got wet, he only drank the wine he brought, he must have poisoned the young master." ”

Cheng Zhi first glared at Sha'er, and then suddenly rushed towards Zhou Tong, looking at him, as if he was going to kill Zhou Tong now.

Cheng Zhi's behavior was too sudden, no one expected it, and when everyone saw what was going on, Cheng Zhi had already pounced on Zhou Tong, and after a fight, although Zhou Tong was white, he could not be bullied by Cheng Zhi, so when Cheng Zhi pounced, Zhou Tong immediately made a move.

That Cheng Zhiren is middle-aged, although there is a wave of anger and sadness to support, but after all, his physical strength is limited, where is Zhou Tong's opponent, so three times and two times, he fell behind, Tang Xiong saw this, shouted, stretched out his hand to pull the two away, at this time, Su Wuming also hurriedly came to persuade: "Master Cheng, the matter has not been investigated clearly, your impulsiveness, I am afraid it will only make the real murderer happy, this case will be investigated clearly, so Lord Ben hopes that before the murder is investigated, Master Cheng should not physically attack anyone who is suspected. ”

Cheng Zhi has been in the business for many years, and he has long passed the age of impulsiveness, and he was just too sad just now, so he didn't think about it clearly, now that Su Wuming said this, where did he dare to disobey, and after nodding slightly, he came to Cheng Feng's corpse again, and said angrily to Na Sha'er: "I asked you to take care of Feng'er, how do you take care of it, after you go back, see how I clean you up!" ”

Sha Er and the others were a little helpless, and they seemed to have to glance at Su Wuming for help, but Su Wuming was extremely disgusted with him because of Sha'er's words just now, so the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then asked Cheng Zhi: "Ling Lang was poisoned and died, and it was surging in the Lang tide for a long time, which means that this poison is very slow, and after the attack, it is very powerful, I want to know who he was with before Ling Lang went to make the tide, and whether he ate anything?" ”

Being asked by Su Wuming like this, Cheng Zhi's face changed suddenly, and then he shook his head again and again: "No, before the wind and tide, no one was together, and they didn't eat, this Lord Su should know that the tide needs to be surging back and forth on the river, and eating too much will increase his stomach, so he never eats a lot." ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly, and then asked: "Master Cheng's family has a lot of money, and Ling Lang is quite business-minded, Master Ben really can't understand why he wants to participate in such a dangerous activity for the sake of that small reward?" ”

Cheng Zhi sighed and said: "Feng'er has a strong physique, he likes to play in the water since he was a child, he wants to play, and I, as a father, have no reason to stop it!" ”

After asking a few more questions, Cheng Zhi left, and when he left, he said angrily to Sha'er: "What are you doing here, go back with me to accept punishment!" ”

Sha'er's faces were extremely ugly, and they all looked panicked when they left.
