Chapter 12 Sprouted Potatoes

The Zhang Dou brothers were not married, and the two lived in a dilapidated house in the west of the city.

When Mo Xiaoqi entered the house, he found that Zhang Dou's house was dilapidated and surrounded by walls.

The rice jar in the kitchen was empty, and the flour bag had shaken off not a single bit of flour.

"Hongyi, do you know what these two brothers do for a living?" Mo Xiaoqi put the flour bag back in its place and patted the ash on the hem of his clothes.

Zhao Hongyi was wearing an official uniform, followed by four catchers, he looked at the catchers, and the catchers looked at each other obviously not clearly.

"I don't know, let's ask the neighbors about it later." Zhao Hongyi didn't care about these things, he only cared about whether Mo Xiaoqi could get rid of suspicion.

Seeing his worry, Mo Xiaoqi smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." I've got eyebrows. ”

"yes, I know." Zhao Hongyi clearly understood in his heart that even if he couldn't get rid of the suspicion, he would try his best to keep her safe.

Even if it's doing something that goes against who you are.

While everyone was rummaging around the house to see if there was any evidence that would come in handy, an old woman's voice came to everyone's ears.

"Hey, Master Guan, are you here to investigate Zhang Hua's matter?" An old woman poked her head in through the doorway.

"Exactly." Zhao Hongyi responded, "Grandma, do you know about the brothers?" ”

"Cough, I know, I know, it's two hard-working babies, the family is poor, and I haven't had the money to marry a daughter-in-law when I was established. Brother, I finally fell in love with a girl on a blind date, and people thought he was sloppy and poor. ”

The old woman babbled, and the left and right were nothing but the poverty of the two brothers.

Listening to the old woman's meaning, this Zhang Dou was introduced by the matchmaker and fell in love with the daughter of the Guo family in the tofu shop in the east of the city.

But the Guo family disliked him for being poor, saying that he didn't have his own house and no money.

Zhang Dou once sat in the corner of the old woman's wall and shed tears, a big man, how sad it should be to shed tears.

"He kept wiping his tears, clutching my fence and crying, crying and crying...... I don't fight for myself, I can't make money, and I can't read a single word. The boss is not small, and he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, and he sees that the old Zhang family is about to die. ”

The old woman tried her best to remember, shaking her head as she spoke.

"Hey, the brothers are so good, why don't they work hard. He also stole my wife's potatoes and ate them. ”

"Potatoes?" Mo Xiaoqi only noticed at this time that there were some small potatoes piled up in the bamboo basket at the door.

"No, they stole a lot of my potatoes, if it weren't for their pity, I would have come to the door a long time ago."

The old woman patted the doorframe and began to talk about how she had helped the brothers.

But Mo Xiaoqi couldn't listen to it anymore, she only cared about those potatoes.

Finally, she found the pile of stolen potatoes in the corner of the kitchen.

And these potatoes have long since sprouted.

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she had a number in her heart.

"Hongyi, let's go, go back to the county office. The case was reopened. Don't be partial to me, justice and fairness are what parents should do. After Mo Xiaoqi finished speaking, he picked up the pile of potatoes and put them into a cloth bag containing flour.

"What are you doing picking up those potatoes?" Zhao Hongyi was puzzled.

"Hehe, it has its own wonderful use, and the heavenly machine cannot be revealed, even if it is leaked, it is not the time." Mo Xiaoqi smiled mysteriously, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.

Seeing her confident appearance, Zhao Hongyi couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his face.

This woman is really strange, she was framed for murder shortly after her store opened, but she was not nervous at all, and comforted herself in turn.

He thought it would be nice if he could marry such an interesting woman.

This bold thought made him shake his head, feeling that he was thinking a little too much.

But I couldn't help but think of myself holding the tree and Mo Xiaoqi standing beside me.

That's really, like a family.

On the way back to the county office, Mo Xiaoqi was relaxed, carrying the bag of sprouted potatoes and refusing to let go.

Ask her why, and she just laughs.

But the way she laughs is so beautiful.

Zhao Hongyi couldn't help but engrave that smile into his heart.

The trial of the case of the poisoning of the guest incense was held again, and this time the government was opened, and the people crowded in.

Zhang Dou, who was stretched, was lying on a bench specially prepared for him, while the body of his younger brother Zhang Hua was still in place.

"Smack!" Zhao Hongyi looked ahead, "Ascension." ”

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

"Oops, what's wrong with that Zhang Dou? Why did you suddenly have diarrhea just now, could it be that you were really poisoned? "Someone has the audacity to ask questions.

"Plaintiff Zhang Dou, this official asks you, you have to answer truthfully." Zhao Hongyi finally began to try the case.

"Xiaomin...... You must know everything. Zhang Dou was still a little weak when he spoke, "Please ...... My lord...... Certain...... Give my brother justice, and I can't let Kelaixiang hurt people anymore. ”

"Smack!" Another shock, "Zhang Dou, let me ask, how is your family background?" ”

I thought that the county magistrate would ask something related to the case, but I suddenly asked such a sentence.

The weak Zhang Dou was obviously stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Xiaomin's family, it's okay." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Hongyi hooked his lips and smiled, "This official has just been to your house." ”

When Zhang Dou heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was speechless.

"Your family background doesn't seem to be very good." Zhao Hongyi broke his lies.

"My lord, isn't justice for the poor justice? I heard that adults are reincarnated Bao Qingtian, why do adults also hate the poor and love the rich like this? Zhang Dou questioned.

"This official is naturally fair and fair, and there is a reason for asking about your family background. If your brother is indeed poisoned by Kelaixiang's food, then the official will definitely ask them to compensate your brother's life and compensate you for the physical and financial losses. ”

The county order said this, which made Zhang Dou's face look much better, and he thought of compensation, and his heart was happy.

"So Kelaixiang, do you have something to say?" Zhao Hongyi turned to Mo Xiaoqi, and his tone was much better.

Mo Xiaoqi stepped forward and said, "My lord, I have something to ask Zhang Dou." ”

"Well, just ask."

With the permission of the county order, Mo Xiaoqi walked to Zhang Dou who was lying on the bench.

But she didn't ask Zhang Dou directly, but asked loudly: "Shopkeeper Bai Xi, you may remember the price of our guests' dishes?" ”

"Boss Mo, I have been in this industry for many years, so I can naturally recite it backwards." Bai Xi replied respectfully.

"Okay, tell me, the dishes that Zhang Dou and Zhang Hua ate yesterday, cold salad and three shreds, fried meat and braised goose, plus rice and wine, should be how many silver taels."

Mo Xiaoqi observed Zhang Dou's expression as he spoke.

"Three silk and one penny for cold salad, five yuan for fried meat, one tael of braised goose, plus rice and wine, a total of two taels of silver." Bai Xi immediately gave the answer.

"Then Brother Zhang Dou, may I ask what you do for a living on weekdays and what do you rely on to make money?"
