Chapter 109: Plan before you act

"What are you guessing about? It was Jiu Dong'er who accidentally dropped the hairpin in the basket, and we went to pick it up only to find that the silver hairpin had turned black, and we knew that the fish in it was poisonous. Su Xingwang explained for Su Jiudong.

Su Xiaoshan snorted in disbelief: "Accidental? How could it be such a coincidence, accidentally fell the hairpin into the basket, I think, there must be something strange in this......"

"Third aunt, do you remember what the peddler who sold you fish looked like that day?" Wen asked in a constant voice, interrupting Su Xiaoshan's continued speculation and changing the topic.

"It's just the ordinary appearance of ordinary people, how good-looking can people who come out to sell fish for a living?" Wang Baihe glanced at Wen Yiheng, who was tall and handsome, and couldn't help but swallow softly.

"Beautiful...... Hmph, after living for so many years, you just remember whether others are good-looking or not, and judge people by their appearance. Su Xingwang saw that Wang Lily still liked handsome men for decades, so he choked Wang Lily angrily.

"What? Is it my fault to judge people by their appearance? If I hadn't judged people by their looks and seen how white you looked, how could I have married you? Wang Baihe rolled up her sleeves and made a gesture to quarrel with Su Xingwang again.

Wen Yiheng continued to ask: "Third aunt, please think about it again, does that fishmonger have any obvious characteristics besides his ordinary appearance?" ”

Su Jiudong also came up and added: "Third aunt, that fishmonger is likely to be the one who poisoned your three rooms, you have to remember clearly." ”

"If you find that person in the future, you can sue the county office, and he can compensate you a good sum of silver." Su Jiudong deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "silver" and secretly aimed at Su Xingwang.

"Silver?" As soon as the silver was mentioned, Su Xingwang really took the bait, and immediately became interested, and solemnly ordered Wang Lihe to recall carefully.

"Mother-in-law, it's up to you to take this money, you have a good memory, we can't let people be poisoned for nothing!"

"Let me think about it again...... Wang Baihe recalled seriously, supporting her chin with one hand, frowning, and struggling to recall the process of buying fish.

It was just a normal day to go to the market street to buy groceries, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Wang Baihe, who likes handsome men, didn't pay too much attention to the ordinary-looking and ordinary fishmongers.

After confirming that the fish in the fishmonger's hand was indeed of good quality, Wang Lihe and the fishmonger finally bought the fish back at a price of a few cents below the market price.

"I still haven't been overly impressed...... The fishmonger was ordinary-looking and ordinary, and he was about the same height as the man in my family. It's the official dialect mixed with the Henan accent, which makes people laugh a little, and the rest is gone. ”

"It seems that the man's hair, compared with our black hair, looks yellowish, it is estimated that the family is really poor, and there is not much nutrition to eat." Wang Baihe searched for memories of scraping her stomach, and she really couldn't think of anything strange about the fishmonger.

"The official dialect with a Henan accent, the hair is yellow, and the height is about the same as the third uncle......"

Wen Yiheng was relieved, secretly remembered these characteristics, and planned to immediately go to the secret guard to find the characters in Qishan County who matched these characteristics as soon as he came out of the third room.

"Ahh One more thing that comes to mind, is much more impressive than that fishmonger. ”

Wang Baihe pulled Su Xingwang and chatted: "Do you remember why there was chicken in our house that day?" ”

"Why?" Wang Baihe's surprise made Su Xingwang annoyed and curious.

"It was sent by the sister-in-law of the Chen family next door! We've been here for so long, and it's not strange to see them generously send things to our family for the first time. ”

Wang Baihe bought fish that day, and after returning home to cook the fish, the sister-in-law of the Chen family, the next-door neighbor, sent a plate of homemade braised chicken to Sanfang for the first time and generously.

Wang Baihe had just put the braised chicken thighs into the kitchen and put them away, when Su Xingwang, who was returning home, smelled the smell of fresh salted chicken emitted by the golden braised chicken thighs, and he couldn't walk.

Su Xingwang, who was salivating over the braised chicken, proposed to eat the fish and chicken together in the evening, so Sanfang ate the fish and chicken together that night.

"If it weren't for the fact that day you were clamoring to eat fish and braised chicken, our family wouldn't have this dysentery!" Wang Baihe rebuked Su Xingwang's greedy mouth.

"Are you still blaming me? If you hadn't coveted the cheap of those pennies that day and bought this poisonous fish back? Will we be poisoned? Su Xingwang didn't give an inch, and glared at Wang Baihe angrily.

"A few pennies is not money? Do you have a lot of money right now? I go out to gamble every day, and I don't see you bring back a few dollars to your family! Wang Baihe did not give in, rolled up her sleeves and inserted them into her waist, ready to count Su Xingwang's good gambling behavior.

Seeing that Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe were about to quarrel again, Su Jiudong came out to divert his attention:

"Third aunt, have your next-door neighbors never brought you food and drink? Otherwise, how can you say that it is unprecedentedly generous? "Jiuhe Library

Wang Baihe waved her hand disapprovingly, and said casually: "Since our family moved to the county seat, we haven't had much contact with the surrounding neighbors, and we have never given gifts or anything. ”

"So when the sister-in-law of the Chen family brought us braised chicken that day, I was also surprised. But everyone has sent it to the eye, and I'm embarrassed to return it to others, after all, it's someone's mind, so let's put it away for the time being. ”

Wang Baihe rolled back her sleeves and casually flicked the non-existent dust on her sleeves.

Su Jiudong thought that the sister-in-law of the Chen family, who took the initiative to send braised chicken, also behaved very suspiciously, and decided to investigate the reason why this person took the initiative to send braised chicken to Sanfang.

"Third aunt, the culprit of these things is still the fishmonger who deliberately sold poisonous yellow croaker to you."

Su Jiudong gave Wang Baihe an idea out of "good intentions": "I think the third aunt, you might as well go to the market street to look for it, and see if the fishmonger is still there." ”

"Go now! Go now! If it's too late, maybe someone will run away! The silver is gone, too! What Su Xingwang misses the most is the generous compensation that I don't know exists.

Wang Baihe and Su Xingwang immediately set off, leaving behind Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng, who were still guests at home, and took the lead in going to the market street to find a fishmonger who sold rotten fish to settle accounts.

"Sister Jiudong, you deliberately asked my father and aunt to go to the market street......" Looking at the backs of Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe quickly running away, Su Xiaoshan said to Su Jiudong with compassion.

"If someone really deliberately sold poisonous fish to my mother, eight days have passed now, and the person must be long gone. You're still letting them run now, do you have another purpose? ”

was really right by Su Xiaoshan, Su Jiudong deliberately asked Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe to go to the market street to find fishmongers now, and they did have another purpose.

Eight days have passed since the onset of Sanfang's poisoning, and the fishmongers will definitely not show up in the market street to sell fish again, waiting to be caught.

And Su Jiudong deliberately asked Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe to go to the market street to find fishmongers, just to pave the way for the "disease-causing turmoil" of the medicinal restaurant in the future.

Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe shouted when they arrived at the market street, at least the people of Qishan County who were present could notice that the Su family's third room may have eaten sick fish and meat to get dysentery, and it may not have anything to do with the dishes of Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant.

Su Jiudong smiled at Su Xiaoshan and whispered, "Sister Xiaoshan, you think too much. I'm just concerned about your family's poisoning, and I hope to do my part to catch the culprit of poisoning for your three rooms. ”

"Your modest strength, we can't stand it in the third room." Su Xiaoshan still didn't believe in Su Jiudong's kindness, and she was even more suspicious of Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng's visit today.

"Please......" Realizing that Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng were not good, Su Xiaoshan was even indifferent to Wen Yiheng, and immediately opened the door to send off the guests, and invited Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng to the outside of the courtyard.

Out of the three-room gate. Su Jiudong changed his attitude, and said goodbye to Su Xiaoshan with a cold face: "Miss Xiaoshan, I wish you three rooms can find the culprit of the poison as soon as possible and have a good Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"Boom!" Su Xiaoshan glared at Su Jiudong viciously, then looked at Wen Yiheng meaningfully, and finally closed the courtyard door heavily.

Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong looked at each other and smiled, today's trip was not in vain, everything was going according to what Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng thought.

Wen Yiheng recruited secret guards who lurked in the shadows as ordinary people, and asked them to secretly look for matching characters in Qishan County according to the three characteristics described by Wang Baihe.

Today's purpose has been achieved, Su Jiudong's heart is a little lighter, and Lala Wen Yiheng's sleeve asked, "Where are we going now?" ”

Wen Yiheng smiled, stretched his hands and feet quite relaxedly, and said relaxedly: "Of course, I will go back to the medicinal restaurant and wait for their news." ”

Su Jiudong asked worriedly: "We don't have to go to the market street to have a look?" ”

Su Jiudong was worried that the battle between Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe in the market street was not big enough, and that there were not enough crowds to watch the excitement, so it would not be enough to spread the news that they had bought poisonous fish.

Wen Yiheng waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "No need, let them catch the blind themselves, don't underestimate Wang Baihe's ability to make trouble." ”

Su Xingwang and Wang Baihe, as Wen Yiheng thought, really went to the market street, came to the vicinity of the place where the fish and meat were bought and sold that day, carefully searched for the fishmonger, and asked the nearby stalls if they had seen the fishmonger again.

"Fishmongers? With so many fishmongers on the street, who knows who you're looking for? If you don't buy it, just go and don't bother me with business! ”

When the pork shop on the left heard that Wang Lily was not here to buy meat, but to look for people, he was impatient to send them away.

"Fishmongers with yellow hair? Is it the one who sold you the fish at a low price a few days ago? The old vegetable seller on the right looked at Wang Baihe with an anxious face and asked with concern.
