The night is getting late, and the wind is still a little muggy.

When Su Wuming and the others returned from the county office, the bright moon had already risen in the east.

On the way, everyone didn't say a word, as if they were all worried about the murder that happened in the Qiantang River.

When she walked half the way like this, Nangong Yan finally couldn't help it, and said: "I look at this murder, the murderer must be Zhou Tong, he is completely likely to kill people for the sake of that money!" ”

Nangong Yan said this, Lin Yun immediately shook his head and retorted: "Madam, that Zhou Tong is not a fool, if he wants to kill Cheng Feng, how can he let Cheng Feng drink his own wine, isn't this making trouble for himself?" ”

Lin Yun usually likes to talk the most, and as soon as he said this, Nangong Yan suddenly said lightly: "You mean to say that I am a fool?" ”

Seeing that Nangong Yan was angry, Lin Yun apologized again and again: "Madam misunderstood, I didn't mean that!" After saying this, Lin Yun said in a low voice that could only be heard by himself: "I'm just telling the truth!" ”

Nangong Yan didn't hear Lin Yun's words, but she saw that Lin Yun's mouth moved, so she was even more angry and asked, "Xiao Yunzi, what are you muttering?" ”

"No, no, I said I was wrong, I shouldn't have confronted Madame!"

Nangong Yan saw that Lin Yun was soft, so she smiled slightly: "Just know that you are wrong, but what you just said is not unreasonable, at least there is a little truth." After Nangong Yan finished speaking, she glanced at Su Wuming and asked, "Su Lang, who do you think is the murderer?" ”

Su Wuming shrugged as he walked, and said, "I don't know yet, but what is certain is that Zhou Tong and Cheng Zhi have hidden something from us, and if they know what they are hiding from us, it may be much easier." ”

"Zhou Tong and Cheng Zhi have something to hide from us?" Nangong Yan was a little surprised.

Su Wuming nodded: "Zhou Tong didn't know that he would become the fourth, so before he played, there was no need for him to poison others, and he couldn't know that Cheng Feng would last until the end, so there was no reason for him to poison Cheng Feng, but don't you think it's strange, Zhou Tong is just a white Ding, and his family should be very poor, how could he take the initiative to follow Cheng Feng?" ”

"Did Xianggong mean that Zhou Tong took the initiative to offer wine?"

Su Wuming nodded: "That's right, and even if Zhou Tong offers wine, why did Cheng Feng drink it?" Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Cheng Feng is really thirsty, but a rich child will always despise those poor people. ”

"Then what about that Cheng Zhi, the dead man is his son, how can he still hide it?" Wen Wan'er hurriedly asked after listening to Su Wuming's comments on Zhou Tong.

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said: "Cheng Zhi did hide something, when I asked him a question, his face was different, but why he hid it, but I didn't know!" ”

Saying this, several people had already arrived at the door of the house, and at this time, the moon was shining high in the sky, and frogs were chirping.

And not long after a few people returned home and sat down, Zhou Tong suddenly came.

Zhou Tong's arrival surprised everyone a little, because everyone had just been separated in the county government not long ago!

After Zhou Tong saw Su Wuming, he was a little nervous, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "I came to find Master Su so late because I ...... Because there is something I want to tell Master Su, today in the county office, those words are really inconvenient. ”

When everyone heard Zhou Tong say this, they knew that Su Wuming's guess was correct, and Zhou Tong really hid something from them this time.

"It's okay for you to do anything!"

Zhou Tong nodded, and then said: "Lord Su should know that my family is poor, and money is very precious to me, so sometimes I will inevitably do something involuntary for the sake of money." ”

"For example?"

"This is the case with the tide, my tide-making technology is nothing to say in the entire Qiantang County, not to say that it will definitely be able to win the first, but the top three are not a problem at all."

"Then why didn't you enter the top three this time?"

"Because...... Because I received Cheng Feng's money, I must be defeated halfway! ”

After Zhou Tong said this, everyone already understood a little.

"Cheng Feng's family is very rich, he doesn't care about the reward at all, all he wants is fame, so before the game, he found me and said that as long as I don't compete with him for the top three, he will give me fifty yuan, fifty yuan is too tempting for me, and my mother is currently sick in bed, I need that money to treat my mother, and finally accepted the money and agreed to Cheng Feng's request."

After Zhou Tong finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and at this time, they finally understood what Zhou Tong was hiding, and finally understood why Zhou Tong was close to Cheng Feng, but they didn't expect that Cheng Feng was a person who would spend money to cheat for the sake of fame.

The evening breeze blew coolly, Zhou Tong looked at Su Wuming, with a sincere face, and said, "Master Su, I really didn't poison Cheng Feng, please believe me." ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "But no matter what, the only way to poison Cheng Feng now is the wine you sent him to drink, so even if I believe you, you are suspicious." ”

Zhou Tong looked a little helpless, sighed and got up to say goodbye.

And just after Zhou Tong left, Nangong Yan hurriedly asked, "Su Lang, are you still suspicious of him?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "He does have something to doubt, what Sha'er said in Qiantang River is not without any truth, if Zhou Tong changes the wine halfway, he does have a chance to poison Cheng Feng, but he has nothing to do!" ”

Everyone looked at each other without saying a word, looking up at the sky, the moon and stars were scarce tonight.

The next day, everyone just got up, there was a knock on the door outside, Tang Xiong opened the door to see, and saw that it was Sha'er, but at this time Sha'er was injured all over his body, with a sad face, his appearance was very miserable, thinking that after returning to Chengfu yesterday, he was beaten a lot.

Tang Xiong stood at the door and glanced at Sha'er, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Sha'er endured the pain and said, "I'm here to see Master Su, I have a clue to report!" ”

Tang Xiong saw that it was related to the murder, so he immediately got out of the way and led him into the living room.

After Su Wuming saw Sha'er, he felt a little pity, but remembering his hateful appearance yesterday, this pity quickly disappeared, and he only asked, "You came to see Lord Ben, what do you have to say?" ”

Sha'er couldn't sit down painfully, so she could only stand and say: "Master Su, I came to provide clues, didn't my master say yesterday that the young master didn't meet anyone for dinner before leaving the house, in fact, the master lied, the young master had met with the nerd alone before leaving the house, and the master knew about it, but he didn't say it." ”

After hearing Sha'er's words, Su Wuming frowned slightly and said, "Who is the nerd?" ”

Sha'er's face changed slightly, and he replied again and again: "The nerd is Cheng Yu, he ...... He has no status in the house, and the young master often calls him that. ”

Seeing that Sha'er called Cheng Yu a nerd, Su Wuming and the others could immediately imagine the ridicule and exclusion that Cheng Yu had suffered in Cheng's mansion, and even a subordinate dared to call him a nerd, but imagine how low his status was.

At this time, Sha'er seemed to realize that her words were a little overstepping, so she became a little nervous for a while.

It's just that Su Wuming didn't have the heart to dwell on these, he only asked: "The relationship between Cheng Feng and Cheng Yu is not good?" ”

Sha'er nodded again and again: "I heard that the relationship between the two was very good when they were young, but when they got older, they were not good, and I heard that it was because of the girl of the Wang family." ”

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said, "Who is the girl of the Wang family?" ”

"It's the young lady of Wang Yuanwai's family, called Wang Yanran, she looks very beautiful, and the relationship between Wang Yuanwai and my master is good, so the two families often move back and forth, this comes and goes, Miss Wang is familiar with our young master and nerds, Miss Wang is amazing, young master and book...... The two sons both liked her and wanted to chase her, so the relationship between the two of them fell apart because of Miss Wang. ”

After listening to Sha'er's narration, Nangong Yan asked with some curiosity, "Then Miss Wang is so beautiful?" ”

Sha'er nodded again and again: "It's beautiful, it's even more beautiful than Madame!" ”

When everyone heard Sha'er's words, they couldn't help but sweat for him, how can a man say in front of a woman that another woman is more beautiful than her, isn't this looking for a pump?

Soon, everyone saw that Nangong Yan's face was red because of anger, and when Wen Wan'er saw this, she hurriedly asked with a smile: "Then what about the son of your family that Miss Wang likes?" Wen Wan'er said, pulling Nangong Yan and telling her not to be angry again.

Nangong Yan was extremely angry in her heart, but she also knew what to do, so she had to endure it.

Na Sha'er had already realized that she had said the wrong thing again, and it was inevitable that she would be a little nervous at this time, but fortunately Wen Wan'er rescued her, and he hurriedly replied: "Miss Wang didn't say anything, but I think she should like our young master more, the young master is smart, physically strong, and much more powerful than the second son, but recently I heard that there are many people in Wang Yuanwai's family, and I don't know what Wang Yuanwai thinks." ”

After Sha'er finished speaking, Su Wuming asked, "Your master didn't say anything about this, why did you suddenly come to talk about it?" ”

Sha'er pointed to the injuries on his body and said, "Lord Su, the injuries on my body can't be beaten in vain, I must provide clues so that Lord Su can find the murderer and make him pay the price, I know that the master didn't say it, because he was worried that Lord Su would suspect the second son, but if the second son was really the murderer, wouldn't the Cheng Mansion be too dangerous?" ”

Sha'er's words still have some truth, but it is not ruled out that he wants to use this matter to lead the finger to Cheng Yu, Su Wuming smiled lightly and asked, "Then do you know what Cheng Yu and Cheng Feng both said?" ”

"I don't know what I said, but when I went to ask the young master to leave, I found that there were wine and food on the table of the two of them, and the second son was eating happily, and he also persuaded my young master to drink from time to time, so I think my young master must have been poisoned at that time."
