Chapter 042: Four Seasons (2)
As soon as Mrs. Li left on the front foot, Xiao Shengzi rushed in with a flamboyant heart, and the cold wind swept into the room.
Xing Ruyi shrunk his neck and closed the cotton curtain tightly, then he glared back at him and rested his hand on the charcoal fire.
Before the palms of his hands were hot, the man was pulled to the counter again. Xing Ruyi's eyes narrowed, Xing Ruyi glared at Xiao Shengzi very unhappily, and even stuffed his hand into the cuffs: "Why do you always look like a monkey, and your body is so good?" Come here at this time, whether it is for business or private affairs, look at your battle, isn't it a girl who looks at which family, and is anxious to send someone rouge gouache. ”
"Ruyi girl, don't make fun of me, just like my family, who would look at me so unsightly. I'm here for business today, but things are a little strange, and Brother Chang is a little embarrassed for a while, so let me ask the girl about the news and see if I can find out any clues from the girl's mouth. Xing Ruyi glanced at it, knowing that Chang Taiding would not rashly let Xiao Shengzi come to his store to ask, since he came, then there was a chance that this matter would have something to do with him.
I really don't get into trouble, I get into trouble. However, it is inevitable to open the door to do business, so his pretty face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Xiao Shengzi and said, "Say, what happened?" Xiao Shengzi rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, deliberately approached Xing Ruyi, lowered his voice and asked, "Does the girl recognize the proprietress of the Li family's wine shop?" ”
"Siniang?" Xing Ruyi's mind flashed a jade-like person, although he was coarse and linen, he could not hide his natural beauty, and there was a faint fragrance of wine and peach blossoms when he shook and moved.
"This thing has something to do with Siniang? To be honest, I haven't seen her for a few days, and the most recent time was at the beginning of last month, she bought some dried peach blossoms from me and said that she was going back to make wine. ”
"No wonder Brother Chang always says Ruyi girl, you are smart, you are really in a word." Xiao Shengzi grinned and held out a thumbs up.
"If you don't praise people, find a master to learn well, no one in Luoyang City doesn't know, no one knows, there is only one proprietress in the Li family's wine shop, and this proprietress only sells one peach blossom wine. Since you mentioned Siniang, this matter is not related to herself, but to her peach blossom wine. Don't beat around the bush, what the hell is going on? ”
"Actually, there is something strange about this matter, and the proprietress of the Li family's wine shop is afraid that she is also innocently implicated." Xiao Shengzi touched his head, and when he saw the punishment Ruyi, he glared at him again, and then hurriedly said: "Here's the thing, early in the morning, someone came to our mansion to beat the drum and voice the grievances, saying that his husband killed someone. It is a matter of human life, and we can't be slack, so we followed Brother Chang to Ma's house in the west of the city. This Ma family is doing cloth trading, the male owner is named Ma Guangmo, there is a wife and a concubine at home, his wife Liu, who is responsible for taking care of the store, the concubine's name is Yuzhu, and she follows Ma Guangmo all the year round. ”
"To make a long story short, I'm not the big man in your mansion, and I still have to listen to the cause and effect of the song." Seeing that Xiao Shengzi hadn't talked about it for a long time and hadn't gotten to the point, Xing Ruyi rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and dozed off.
Recently, it has been cold, and my sleep has been much lighter, and I just said something to Mrs. Liu half-loudly, so I feel sleepy just standing at this time, and I still have the heart to listen to Xiao Shengzi's story.
Seeing the punishment ruyi yawning again and again, Xiao Shengzi's face turned red, and he threw out a sentence without a beginning or end for a long time: "Dead, dead." ”
"To put it clearly, who died and who died? I'll let you speak concisely, and I don't want you to speak without a beginning or an end. ”
"Ma Guangmo died, and he died in his bedroom."
"Since he died in his bedroom, what does it have to do with Li Siniang? It can't be drunk to death by the peach blossom wine of the fourth mother's family, right? Xing Ruyi rolled her eyes, she often drank the peach blossom wine of the fourth mother's family, the wine was fragrant, but the taste was not spicy, if it was in her time, it would be a drink at best, and there was no additives, and it did not contain any artificial colors.
As for the people who frequented it, most of them also went to Li Siniang, saying that they were drunk to death by peach blossom wine, but it was better to say that they were fascinated by Li Siniang.
Xing Ruyi's words were originally a joke, but he never thought that Xiao Shengzi would nod again and again, but he saw Xing Ruyi's face full of surprise, and he almost knocked his head on the counter.
"Really drunk to peach blossom wine?"
"Whether he was drunk to death with peach blossom wine, you have to wait for the concubine to check it out, but it is an indisputable fact that Ma Guangmo died in his bedroom, and he was the only one in the bedroom at the time, and no traces of struggle were found in the room, according to his concubine, he was drinking at the time, and asked the concubine to go to the kitchen to get some wine."
"What about the wife?" One wife and one concubine, the husband is dead, if no other traces are found at the scene, the suspect is either a wife or a concubine.
"In the cloth shop, there are many people who can testify. The Ma family's cloth shop has always been taken care of by Ma Guangmo's wife, and the concubine has been doing business with him all the year round and serving him with him, and there is nothing special about it. As for this concubine, there are also servants in the family who testify that when Ma Guangmo died, she was indeed busy in the small kitchen, and there were still unfinished side dishes and pastries in the kitchen. Besides, this little concubine has just become pregnant, and the huge Ma family is waiting for the child in her womb to inherit, and she will not poison her husband at this time. ”
"You also said that the huge family property is waiting for the child in the concubine's womb to inherit it, so what about the wife? You can't just watch it, right? Xing Ruyi said coldly, feeling that this case was going to be solved for himself nine times out of ten.
"His wife suffers from infertility, and it is rare for her husband to have a successor, and he will not do anything out of the ordinary if he wants to. Besides, this concubine is also what she found for her husband, and the two get along better on weekdays, according to the rules of our dynasty, even if the concubine gives birth to a child, she must call her wife her mother, and her biological mother her aunt, so she can't kill her husband, right? Even if she is jealous of the concubine, she only needs to kill the concubine, or murder the child in her womb and kill her husband, I am afraid it will not benefit her. ”
"Clever." Xing Ruyi swept Xiao Shengzi's braincase: "If you say so, it really makes some sense." Could it be that he was really drunk to death with Siniang's peach blossom wine? ”
"This is where Brother Chang is puzzled, it is said that this peach blossom wine is drunk and immortal, but Ma Guangmo's wife insisted that her husband had an accident after drinking this wine, and also accused Li Siniang of killing her husband."
"It's quite hilarious, and it does sound very strange." Xing Ruyi nodded again and again, and a little curiosity was aroused in his heart.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the white shadow of the fox, so he stretched his waist and said, "That's it, I listened to what you said, and I can judge if I go to the scene with you." ”
