Chapter 52 has another hidden secret
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Childe, let's mourn and change!" Your sister Liu Piaoxu died in the Yuexiang Inn, and according to the examination at the time, he drank arsenic and died. Zhao Hongfei felt that your sister had done something insulting, so he was reluctant to get the body, and Ning Tianxiang, the owner of Yuexiang Inn, said that he wanted to do business, and the body could not be stored in his inn, so he sent Liu Piaoxi's body to the yamen, and the people in the yamen negotiated with Zhao Hongfei many times, but to no avail. Pity the willow fluttering, no one from her mother's family came, and her body has been lying in the county office since her death. You are her brother, hurry up and bring her body back and bury it properly! ”
Song Ruilong said very seriously: "No! My sister is married to Zhao Liuhou, why didn't Zhao Liuhou go to collect my sister's body? ”
Before the shopkeeper could speak, he heard a person coughing. The cough immediately made the shopkeeper shiver, he pretended to put tea for Song Ruilong, and said loudly: "Guest officer, you use it slowly." I have other guests to greet! ”
Song Ruilong picked up a cup of tea on the table, drank it, and looked up the stairs.
I saw the person who was coughing, neatly dressed, wearing a luxurious carved hat, and a crystal clear jade pendant hanging from his waist, looking at Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong expressionlessly.
Song Ruilong took a sip of tea, he slowly put down the teacup, and when he looked at the person again, he had already gone upstairs.
Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong's expression and said, "Do you want to go up and meet that person?"
Song Ruilong said: "Exactly!"
When Su Xianrong saw that the person's left foot had disappeared, she said, "That person has already gone upstairs." He may be the owner of this teahouse. Maybe he didn't want his buddy to talk to guests about inconsequential things while he was at work. ”
Song Ruilong said calmly: "From his eyes, I can see that he is not blaming the shopkeeper, he is glaring at the two of us." Generally speaking, the host was always polite to his guests, but he treated us like enemies. Who do you think this person would be? ”
Su Xianrong recalled it with his memory and said, "Looking at that person's clothes, he should be a very rich person." Looking at the skin on his hands, he knew that in this teahouse, he was just a person who had someone to work for him when he spoke, and he didn't even have to count the money. Judging from the wrinkles on his forehead, he was at least forty years old, and the jade pendant hanging from his waist seemed to be carved into a snake. If this person's surname is Zhao, I know who he is. ”
"Be quiet, he is Zhao Zhenxiong, the owner of this teahouse, and Zhao Liuhou's father. The father-in-law of the willow fluttering. The shopkeeper ran over again and reminded Song Ruilong.
Song Ruilong stood up, looked at the stairs, and said, "Thank you!"
After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong walked up to the second floor, they saw Zhao Zhenxiong in front of the door of a room that exuded the scent of orchids.
Zhao Zhenxiong seemed to be waiting for them there.
Song Ruilong was still a little strange, he walked up to Zhao Zhenxiong and said, "Boss Zhao doesn't want us to have a cup of tea in your house?"
Zhao Zhenxiong said indifferently: "Of course! OK! ”
Zhao Zhenxiong's room is very elegantly furnished, as if a shed was erected in a garden.
There are many beautiful flowers in the room, and there is a very elegant Nanmu tea table in the middle. On the table, the flowing water, the pavilions and small pavilions, as if the real majestic mountain.
Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong sat opposite Zhao Zhenxiong, Song Ruilong looked at Zhao Zhenxiong's cold face, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Zhenxiong's face didn't move, but his lips moved twice, and said, "Are the two really Liu Piaoxu's younger brother and sister-in-law?"
Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "Does Boss Zhao think that we are not?"
Zhao Zhenxiong smiled and said, "Do you know who I am?"
Song Ruilong said with certainty: "You are Zhao Zhenxiong, the owner of this Pinxiang Teahouse." At the same time, you are also the son of Zhao Hongfei, the owner of twelve grain and oil chain stores, and the father of Zhao Liuhou, the owner of the blacksmith shop. I don't know if that's right? ”
Song Ruilong originally thought that Zhao Zhenxiong would be very surprised, but he was disappointed, Zhao Zhenxiong was not surprised at all, he seemed to have a mask on his face, without a trace of expression, and said: "Childe is not surnamed Liu, why do you say that your surname is Liu?"
Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "Boss Zhao, good eyesight!" To tell you the truth, it is not Liu Piaoxu's younger brother who is below, and this is not the wife of Zaixia. ”
Zhao Zhenxiong said coldly: "Gongzi is neither a person in the rivers and lakes, nor an ordinary person, looking at Gongzi's speech and demeanor, he must be a person in the public family, say it!" It's not fun to beat around the bush, we business people like to go straight to the point. ”
Song Ruilong said: "Boss Zhao not only has outstanding eyesight, but also judges things accurately. Yes, below is Song Ruilong, the magistrate of Ping'an County, the county thinks, Boss Zhao should know what the county is looking for you when he hears this name. ”
Zhao Zhenxiong was not surprised at all, and said: "It is rare for Lord Song to come out in person, and Zhao is honored." If the adult asks about the case of Liu Piaofu, then Zhao can't accompany him. ”
Zhao Zhenxiong stood up, turned around and was about to leave, at this time, Su Xianrong also stood up and said: "Boss Zhao, I think you should sit down, if you dare not report it, or do not cooperate with the county order, we have to ask Boss Zhao to talk in another place."
Zhao Zhenxiong reluctantly laughed at this time, looked at Su Xianrong, and said, "The girl has such a powerful mouth!" Have a seat! ”
Zhao Zhenxiong also sat down slowly, and made the smile on his face a little more, "It's not that Zhao is unwilling to cooperate with the magistrate, it's really that there is really nothing to say about this case." Six months ago, the head catcher Tie Chong, and the master Liu Tianxiong remembered that they all had confessions about this case, and they had already said that Liu Piaoxu's body was temporarily managed by the Yamen, and if someone claimed it in the future, or the Yamen decided to bury it on its own, it had nothing to do with our Zhao family. ”
Song Ruilong opened the fan, fanned it lightly a few times, and said: "Boss Zhao is worthy of being an expert in doing business, and he will pick himself and the Zhao family from that case in a few words, as if Liu Piaofu's death has nothing to do with your Zhao family."
Zhao Zhenxiong's face suddenly tightened, his eyes flashed, he looked at Song Ruilong and said, "What does Lord Song mean by this?"
Song Ruilong said: "The county received a report that the reason why the Zhao family was unwilling to claim Liu Piaoxu's body was not because Liu Piaoxu committed one of the seven crimes, but because there was another hidden story."
Zhao Zhenxiong said nervously: "What is the secret?"
