Chapter 170: Suspicions
Gu Qinghuan didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "I heard that you developed a recipe for boiling porridge a few years ago, which is very popular with Jin'er?" ”
When Shanfu heard this, his heart froze, he rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, that Fang Zi ......"
"It's not yours, is it?"
Before Shanfu finished speaking, Gu Qinghuan spoke amazingly.
On the side, Yan Zhao narrowed his eyes.
Shanfu trembled, as if he didn't expect Gu Qinghuan to know this!
"This, this ......"
Shanfu is in a state of disarray, and wants to get by.
However, if you raise your eyes slightly, you will find two pairs of sharp eyes staring at him.
Shanfu swallowed his saliva and completely accepted his fate: "Yes...... It is true that the recipe was not developed by the villain, but bought by the villain from a woman......"
"Bought?"
Gu Qinghuan smiled coldly: "Isn't it?" You probably took a fancy to that recipe and didn't want the woman to share it, so you went into the woman's house at night, killed her, and disguised herself as if she had hanged herself! In the end, I monopolized this recipe! ”
Hearing this, Shanfu raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "No...... That's not true! How could a villain, a villain, poison a recipe for fifty taels? This young lady, you—you can't slander the villain! ”
If it were someone else, and seeing Shanfu's panicked appearance, he would definitely feel that there was a ghost.
However, Gu Qinghuan knew that Shanfu was not lying.
He was just scared of himself.
Although Shanfu was panicked, his eyes were very determined, which proved that he had no doubts about his words.
He really didn't kill Bai Zhi.
"You really didn't do anything to that woman?" Gu Qinghuan asked.
"The villain doesn't even know what the woman's name is!"
Shanfu faced Gu Qinghuan's coercion, and didn't dare to hide it at all, he said: "Seven years ago, the villain was a little cook in the big kitchen, and it was the woman who found the villain and said that she had a recipe for boiling porridge in her hand and wanted to sell it to the villain, the villain felt inexplicable at first, but she said that she heard that the eldest lady had been ill for a long time and usually had no appetite to eat, and this porridge was the most suitable for patients who had no appetite. ”
After hearing this, the villain felt that what she said made sense, so he asked her to take out some finished products, and if it was really good, the villain would buy her recipe...... Fifty taels is nothing, the villain works hard in the kitchen, and then takes some rewards from the master, and there will be one or two months, and there will be a chance to be valued by the eldest lady, who would not want to? ”
Shanfu said: "The next day, the woman brought the porridge boiled, and when the villain tasted it, he knew that the porridge villain had to buy it!" Later, it turned out that the villain's decision at that time was right......"
"Did she say anything when she sold you Fangzi?" Gu Qinghuan interrupted Shanfu's boastful words later.
"This ...... It's been seven years, and the villain can't remember it......"
Shanfu said, but when he saw Gu Qinghuan staring at him, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Think about it, villain...... Oh yes! ”
After thinking for a while, Shanfu can be regarded as thinking of something, "When the villain gave her fifty taels at that time, he saw that she looked bad, and persuaded her to take the silver to the hospital and buy some medicine to make up for herself, but she said that fifty taels to buy medicine is not effective, and it will only be wasted, she wants to use these fifty taels to make a business, and when she makes a lot of money, she will treat the disease well......"
"Did she really say that?" As Gu Qinghuan spoke, he leaned forward, his slender fingers grasping the armrests of the chair too hard, and his knuckles turned white.
Shanfu nodded violently: "Even if the details are a little different, but that's probably what I said." ”
"Did she tell you what business she was going to do?" Gu Qinghuan asked again.
Shanfu shook his head: "This kind of thing, how can the villain be embarrassed to ask?" Not to mention...... A woman who has nothing and wants to do business, it is probably to set up a stall and sell something casually, right? ”
When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he knew that Shanfu had nothing to inquire about, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I ask you about it today, don't mention it to others." ”
"Yes." Shanfu said, glancing at Yan Zhao on the side.
Yan Zhao didn't stop him, Shanfu breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away.
Leaving Yan Zhao's courtyard, Shanfu felt that the clothes behind his back were soaked with cold sweat!
What the hell is that girl?
I just answered her a few questions, and I felt like I had gone through a ghost gate!
"Ziteng."
As soon as Shanfu left, Yan Zhao called Du Xiaowu and said lightly: "Seven years ago, the porridge recipe offered by Shanfu was bought outside. ”
Du Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and understood what Yan Zhao meant: "The villain will handle it." ”
Although Shanfu is conscientious and does his best, he buys from the outside and pretends to be his own development, which is a deception, and he should be punished.
As soon as Du Xiaowu left, Yan Zhao's eyes turned and saw Gu Qinghuan frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
"That woman is important to you?" The words were slight.
Gu Qinghuan came back to his senses and glanced at Yan Zhao, "Yes." ”
"She's dead?" Yan Zhao asked again.
Gu Qinghuan clenched the armrest, his eyes were deep: "I don't know...... I heard that she was dead, and I have already sent someone to find her body......"
Although he said that he didn't know, Gu Qinghuan knew in his heart that Bai Zhi might have been poisoned a long time ago!
"Can you tell me about it?" Yan Zhao asked, "If there are any grievances, I work in Dali Temple, maybe I can help." ”
"Thank you."
Gu Qinghuan is not hypocritical, it is about Bai Zhi, she doesn't want to waste all the resources she can use, "Because of some old things, I haven't been in touch with her for seven years, today I went to the house where she used to live to find her, and someone passing by told me that she hanged herself seven years ago...... I believed it at first, because she did know her. ”
Yan Zhao asked, "But you found something wrong." ”
"Yes."
Gu Qinghuan nodded, "People who want to commit suicide will not entrust my maid to tell me that she will invite me to eat delicious food in the future, and will not run to the Guogong Mansion on the eve of suicide at the risk of being rejected as a madman, find the cook here to sell, and say that she wants to use the seller's money to do ......business."
People who want to die will not work so hard to plan for the future.
"And, in her house, I also found out that something was wrong......"
Gu Qinghuan pursed her lips and said, "Her quilt was lifted, as if she had just gotten off the bed...... Or, they were taken from their beds, tied around their necks with ropes, and hung from the beams......"
Although Bai Zhi is decadent all day long, because she has nothing to do, she will tidy up her home in her spare time, such as folding a stack of quilts.
Therefore, every time Gu Qinghuan went to her house, Bai Zhi's quilt was neatly folded.
If Bai Zhi really wants to commit suicide, she will habitually tidy up the quilt before committing suicide, instead of keeping the messy appearance.
and then think of the appearance of Bai Zhi before her death, working hard to live......
Gu Qinghuan felt a pain in her heart, she didn't believe that Bai Zhi would commit suicide!
"Childe."
At this time, Du Xiaowu entered the courtyard, and after glancing at Gu Qinghuan, he said respectfully to Yan Zhao: "Miss Gu's maid came to the door and said that she was looking for Miss Gu in an emergency." ”
