Chapter 11 The Wisher Takes the Bait

"Erlang and Sister Yu were killed?" Bai Xiuqing shouted out first.

"Yes, Xiuqing." Mrs. Bai sat on the chair with Bai Xiuqing and said solemnly, "I have something to ask you." ”

Then how to report the sweet fruit in the morning, and when she rushed to go, Bai Yi and his wife had been rescued, and the life-saving benefactor did not find it, but found the suspicious candlestick and so on.

Zhizhi held her cheeks and listened to it with relish as if she were listening to a play.

"Do you remember the candlestick? By whose hand did the deer return? ”

As soon as Madame Bai's words fell, Zhizhi jumped up and shouted, "I bought it!" ”

She looked at Bai Xiuqing, then at Mrs. Bai, and said aggrievedly and confidently: "I looked at this candlestick beautifully, and I took out the money in my private house to buy it as a gift for Second Brother Bai."

"I don't know what's in there! Who killed a thousand knives wanted to harm people and planted me again! ”

Madame Bai was stunned, but she didn't expect to walk to the dead alley as soon as she asked.

Yan Zhuo saw that the mother and daughter were both straightforward, and they had not been friends with the white mother for a day or two, and if they wanted to plot against the Bai family, I was afraid that they would not use such tortuous and secret methods.

"Which shop did you buy it from, but someone persuaded you to buy this candlestick?" Yan Zhuo asked Zhizhi.

Zhizhi frowned, "I bought it from Yude Trading House in the city, and I picked it myself." However, you say that you found charcoal in the dark compartment of the candlestick, but I don't know that the bottom of the candlestick can be opened, so how does the person who poisoned it know? ”

"Didn't the people from the comptoir tell you?" Bai Yi asked.

Zhizhi spread his hands, "I picked a box of lamps and candles, and they counted the money and didn't say much." ”

"We, Zhizhi, will definitely not harm Erlang!" Bai Xiuqing patted his chest and packed the ticket, "There must be something wrong with the people from the firm!" ”

"Comptoir...... I'm trying to find someone to check. Mrs. Bai's face was gloomy, she still trusted Bai Xiuqing's mother and daughter.

I'm afraid that Zhizhi has also fallen into the trap.

But the firm's side ...... Everyone understands in their hearts that Baijia Village is still some distance from the city, not to mention that the Bai family does not have many manpower, who to send and how to investigate, there is no bottom......

And it's not something that will be answered in a day or two.

Seeing that this progress is stalemate again.

"Mother." Yan Zhuo opened his mouth.

"Let's check the candlestick, has it spread in the house?"

Madam Bai didn't know why she asked this, and shook her head, "Just Mother Xu, who went to your room with me in the morning, knows." ”

Yan Zhuo was reassured, "I have a way." ”

One word shocked the audience.

All eyes fell on her.

Na Zhizhi's eyes are about to fall out.

"In our house, how many of the people you completely trust can contribute?" Yan Zhuo asked Mrs. Bai first.

"Help?" Madame Bai was at a loss.

"The kind that can stop people."

"Do you know who poisoned it?" Bai Yi understood the words a little, looked at her and asked.

Yan Zhuo smiled slightly, "I don't know yet, but let's throw a bait in a while, and the one who wishes will take the bait." But we need to prevent that person from running, so we have to be prepared first, because that person may be a master. ”

There is a person called "Young Master" circling around Baifu, and it is very likely that the enemies of Baifu are highly skilled.

"I can help." Bai Yi took a step forward.

"The old slave can too." Mrs. Xu took a step forward.

"Of course you can't leave me out!" Zhizhi also stood up.

Bai Xiuqing pulled her sleeve down, but she couldn't pull it.

"And Laifu and the porter Qu are all old people who have been with me for many years, and there are still mothers-in-law and maids on San Lang's side, but he can't leave people......" Madame Bai thought carefully with her eyebrows.

"It should be enough." Yan Zhuo calculated, plus her, five people, it should be no problem to stop one person.

……

After breakfast, the busy day begins in Baifu.

In the garden, the carpets, drapes, lamps, candles, tables, chairs, dishes, teacups, etc., should be cleaned up and put back in the storeroom.

Including the lights, candles, vases and other furnishings in the newlyweds' bedroom, they must be put away one by one.

Collecting, cleaning, and people come and go, most of them are the villagers in the Bai family village temporarily hired by Mrs. Bai, and they are messy everywhere.

There was no one in the couple's room, so they went to the lady's room early in the morning and didn't come back.

A few servants began to clean from the antechamber.

After a while, a mother-in-law brought in a bamboo basket.

"Aunt Wang, who are you?" A servant woman looked up and asked.

"Mama Xu said, first pick up the expensive lamps and vases and put them back in the warehouse." The princess replied.

"You can just leave it here, and we'll take it." One of them said with a smile.

"You're busy with yours." Aunt Wang waved her hand and walked inside.

"We're going to help you!" The woman who asked first took the initiative.

"No, you don't! That's it! Aunt Wang said and went into the patio and went back.

The woman watched her back enter the house, bit her lip, and continued to wipe the vase.

After a while, a maid hurriedly came and shouted inside: "Aunt Wang, the dishes and teacups that are to be put back in the warehouse have been collected, why don't you go and count, we can move the warehouse to register!" ”

Aunt Wang came out of the bedroom and walked out with this maid, and before leaving, she instructed, "Don't move the lights and candles in the house, Mama Xu will count them herself in a while." ”

Several of the servants answered, and each of them went to clean up.

After a while, the woman who had asked a question before slipped into the dormitory while no one was paying attention.

A moment later.

"Whew-" A strange cry came from the room.

This was followed by the sound of "clanging" utensils rolling to the ground.

Yan Zhuo, who was guarding outside the courtyard, shouted, "Hooked!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Yi and Zhizhi on the wall had already jumped down one after another.

Yan Zhuo carried his skirt and ran to the front with Tianguo'er "Dong Dong Dong".

Mama Xu, Mama Qu, and several mothers-in-law who were guarding the gate of the courtyard rushed in together.

Bai Yi had already carried a woman to the patio, and Zhizhi took a laundry mallet in her hand and beat her waist and legs.

While beating, he scolded: "You thief woman! Poison you! Let you frame me! ”

The woman rolled around with her head in her hands, crying and shouting, "Help! Treat unjustly! I just wanted to help move the basket and accidentally knocked it over! ”

Yan Zhuo saw that she was a woman who didn't know how to do kung fu, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Madame Bai and Bai Xiuqing rushed in, and the servants who were cleaning outside also gathered around when they heard the movement.

When the woman saw that there were many people, she rubbed her stomach at Madame Bai's feet, and cried, "Madame! Check it out! I'm just kind enough to come to the Bai family to help, even if I smash the two candlesticks, I won't beat anyone! ”

The other servants were also from the village, and when they heard this, they murmured, quite a little for this woman.

One person persuaded Zhizhi: "Gao Xiao Niang, you can't be so angry anymore!" ”

One person persuaded Mrs. Bai: "Madam, you see that these neighbors are all on the left, why did you do it?" ”

Madame Bai was angry, kicked the woman away, ignored the left and right, and said coldly: "Widow Zhang! You know what you've done! It's good that I treat you well on weekdays, let's say, who asked you to poison Erlang! ”

When everyone heard that the poison was being poisoned, they were all frightened.

"You say poisoning? What is the evidence? I have no grievances or enmity with your Bai family, why should I come? ”

The woman covered her head and cried, and everyone was shocked and suspicious.
