"House thief!?" Rong Wanxia sat up from the bed in shock, and she used too much force, making her suddenly dizzy and dizzy.

Zhong Xiaoshu hurriedly supported her, "Don't get excited, lie down, and listen to me slowly." ”

I said that I had been sick for a long time, but don't be frightened and make my condition worse.

Carefully helped Rong Wanxia to lie on the bed, and ate a small half cup of calming ginseng tea, Zhong Xiaoshu began to explain.

"Judging from the current clues, it can basically be ruled out that it was done by outsiders, and the scope is narrowed down to the home. Today I went to the dyeing workshop to see, and the environmental structure there is very practical if you have a plan to do so, so Wan Niang, I want to ask all the workers in your family one by one. ”

Rong Wanxia understood, her expression changed from initial surprise and shock to solemnity, she squeezed Zhong Xiaoshu's hand tightly, her eyes were full of tears, she was grateful and moved, "Xiaoshu!" You just have to ask, now I am completely handed over to you for the Rong family! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't take a breath, coughed heavily, and his face became more and more pale.

Zhong Xiaoshu hurriedly smoothed her back, and did not forget to shake it back tightly, and said solemnly, "Late mother!" Don't worry, I will definitely help you find out the truth. ”

After settling down a little in the late summer, Zhong Xiaoshu did not delay at all, and immediately called the housekeeper again when he left the house.

"Steward Rong, you will immediately call all the workers one by one according to the roster of dyeing workers, and I will personally interrogate them."

The housekeeper knew that this was also a major matter related to the life and death of their Rong family, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he replied, "I'll go immediately, Mrs. Yin." ”

When the housekeeper took a small group of servants to find someone, Zhong Xiaoshu was not idle, and took the roster and read it carefully one by one.

Speaking of which, there are not too many workers in the Rongjia Dyeing Workshop, but there are quite a few.

There are a total of fifty-two people, including 30 male workers and 22 female workers, all of whom are skilled workers, the longest has been in the Rong family for seven or eight years, and the shortest has been two or three years.

Therefore, if you suddenly want to commit a crime and poison, the possibility is actually relatively low.

After such a cursory understanding, it seems that the suspicion is not so great again......

Zhong Xiaoshu was frowning and closing the roster, and the housekeeper came back with a group of people from Wu Yangyang, and the entire courtyard was almost full.

Just looking at the number, I didn't think it was a lot, but it was quite dense standing in front of me.

Immediately, Zhong Xiaoshu put away the small thoughts just now, thought for a moment, and beckoned the housekeeper to come.

"You don't have to stand here together, I'm going to ask them one by one, you let them all rest and wait in the backyard, I call one person and let one person come and talk back, and finally I will always ask two more words, and then I can put them home first."

The housekeeper can be regarded as an old slave who is over half a hundred years old, and after a while, he reacted to why this Mrs. Yin did this.

Because one-on-one interrogation is actually the best way to break people's hearts, after getting some clue information, so that everyone is not sure what they have confessed, and then ask together, then you can better find out whether everyone has something to hide, where the loopholes are.

The housekeeper had to secretly admire this Mrs. Yin, who looked quite young, and actually came up with such an interrogation method in a moment, which was almost the same as that of their uncle who was the county magistrate who judged the case.

hurriedly attached himself to respond, and the housekeeper instructed the workers in a yard very neatly, and then invited Zhong Xiaoshu into a side room, and the pen and ink were all served, just waiting for her to interrogate one by one and find out the clues.

The sun rises and sets in the west, when the slanting sun sprinkles the ground of the wing room through the west window, the workers in the courtyard outside finally asked again, after careful questioning, to the surprise of the old housekeeper, the big interrogation was finished before the sun went down, Zhong Xiaoshu was stunned and only said two words, and let everyone go back.

This made the old housekeeper a little confused and a little apprehensive, and after sending off more than fifty workers, he immediately came back and asked her, "Mrs. Yin, you have been asking for an afternoon, but what do you ask?" ”

Zhong Xiaoshu frowned slightly, turned the paper in his hand upside down and looked at it again, sighed, and then replied, "I asked them separately in order to disintegrate and find loopholes in their different statements. But after asking along the way, there is nothing wrong with the confessions of these people, and the poisoning should have nothing to do with them. ”

In short, they are all innocent.

"Oh...... That's fine, that's fine. The old butler was still a little frustrated when he heard this, originally he was full of joy and thought that the number of people in their fifties might also be one according to the probability, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.

This means that their Rong family case has reached a bottleneck stage again, and they are stuck in it.

But now that the former county magistrate, Lord Li, is also gone, and Rong Jiancheng, the head of the family, is locked up in prison, how long can their Rong family persist in this embarrassing situation?

Even if he was very reluctant, Zhong Xiaoshu still told Rong Wanxia the bad news that there was no progress.

"Wanniang, it can be confirmed that the poisoning was not done by the dyeing workers, and now I can't guess who it is." Zhong Xiaoshu shook his head lightly and said.

Rong Wanxia's little hope that had finally risen was extinguished all of a sudden, she knew the situation of the Rong family best, and she suddenly became anxious.

"So what! Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu, what should I do! Is our Rong family about to overturn all at once? ”

Rong Jiancheng finally started from scratch in Wangcheng, and the cloth business that he had conscientiously established was about to collapse overnight!

"What to do, what to do!" The more anxious Rong Wanxia became, the more she couldn't help but think about the worst, as if Lord Yang had immediately decided the case, her hands couldn't stop shaking, and the whole person was like a silk thread that had been stretched to the end, and the sound of "pop-" finally couldn't bear to break.

"Late mother! Late Mother! Zhong Xiaoshu rushed over as soon as possible, looking at Rong Wanxia, who was fainting in a hurry, and couldn't help but break out in a lot of cold sweat.

She doesn't want to be fine! At this juncture, the Rong family can no longer afford the slightest bit of bad news!

Zhong Xiaoshu shouted outside while supporting Rong Wanxia, "Come on!" Get a doctor! The late mother fainted! ”

The maid hurried in and shouted, "Madame, ma'am, what's wrong with you?" ”

It looks even more helpless than Zhong Xiaoshu.

"You help the late mother, you go get some hot water to wipe her, and you go to boil some ginseng soup! I'm going to get a doctor right now, I'll be right back, you take care of her, you know! Zhong Xiaoshu immediately ordered them one by one in an orderly manner, and immediately after speaking, he took Nianwu out of the house to find someone.
