Chapter 157: Secret Visit to the Night Market

After Yugo's suggestion, Ba Yi gave Kangxi an excerpt, and explained the assassin that day as follows-

The assassins were all Mongols from Mobei, several tribes fought for territory, and the people were miserable, so some people attributed the rebellion in Mobei to the imperial court and Kangxi, feeling that Kangxi was incompetent, so they wanted to kill him, and the assassins were already dead and fled.

Mobei Mongolia is generally known as the Khalkha Department, its chaos has been a long time, Shunzhi period, the three major territories of the Khalkha Department Shetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan, Chechen Khan tribute to the Qing court, good relations, later disputes between the three tribes continued, more Geldan and Rakshasa State intervened, the Mobei Rebellion was even worse.

Of course, Kangxi knows all about these things, Yugo doesn't know much about Mongolia, I think I thought his surname was Bai when I first met Bai Yin, and then followed Ba Yi, and gradually became interested in political affairs and military affairs, and I have been in contact with Dachun and other Goshha for a long time, and I know a thing or two about these things, Ba Yi adopted her suggestion, but Kangxi was half-convinced, how could he have no other explanation, he could only be regarded as a full believer, and he strengthened his determination to pacify the four seas.

This matter finally came to an end, and Ba Yi's heart relaxed a little, so he set out to solve the troubles at home.

The old housekeeper Acton sprained his foot and was in bed to recuperate, Yugo took care of the affairs of the General's Mansion on his behalf, and for Aunt Sun and Lan Xiang to participate in the case of Young Master Tian, although they were not direct murderers, they did not completely remove the suspicion, unless the real murderer was caught, so Yugo got Ba Yi's approval, restricted Aunt Sun and Lan Xiang's actions, and ordered the two not to leave the General's Mansion recently.

She did this, in fact, she deliberately scared the snake, Young Master Tian's case is small, and the old lady's safety is big, I am afraid that Aunt Sun and Lan Xiang will not be in the limelight, once they are dormant, it will be difficult to investigate, so Yugo forced them to take action.

In the end, he is young and vigorous, since Yugo has become a housekeeper, he is much stricter than Acton, standardizing the scope of responsibility of male and female maids, and repeatedly ordering and repeating it, and violators will be severely punished.

On this day, she just finished reprimanding a kid, just because the kid hid in the flowers to sleep when he was on an errand, and the anger in her heart has not disappeared, so that the stall selling medicinal herbs in the night market that Chu Qi is staring at has moved, and after Chu Qi came back to report, Yu Yu hurriedly left the General's Mansion and rushed to the night market.

This time with the seventh day of the first month, the master and servant discussed whether to contact the stall owner as a buyer, or directly search for the insect poison, and finally for the sake of safety, Yugo decided to appear as a buyer.

The night market has just begun, and there are not many pedestrians, especially in the alley where the medicinal herbs are sold, except for the two of them, there are a few small stall owners.

From a distance, he saw that the stall owner selling medicinal herbs was sorting out the goods, it was still ginseng and gastrodia, etc., and they were placed with brushes, and Yugo knew that this stall was selling dog meat with a sheep's head, and ginseng and gastrodia were all window dressing, and what he really made a huge profit was the insect poison.

With a plan in his heart, Yugo approached, and the stall owner also recognized her, slightly surprised, and then snorted coldly: "I have these things that you can't look at, what are you doing here?" ”

Yugo looked around, pretending to be mysterious, which made the stall owner a little nervous, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Tamagogo whispered: "I want to buy insect poison." ”

The stall owner was stunned and said, "No." ”

Yugo handed over a silver ticket that he had already prepared and stole from the general's account and said, "If you don't do business and don't make money, why do you stay up late and set up a stall." ”

What a big sum, the stall owner's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the silver ticket, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said carefully: "I don't know what insect poison is." ”

Yugo smiled: "I originally bought that thing from southern Xinjiang, and I can't go out of the house recently, so I want to get some use nearby." ”

The stall owner looked at her, with fine skin and tender meat, not at all like a merchant who had grown out of the door, and sneered: "Sensei." ”

Yu Dai shook the silver ticket with a bang, whetted the other party's appetite, and said: "If it weren't for my old man who was seriously ill, and my sister didn't do anything, why would I come to you to waste my teeth, in order to buy this insect poison urgently, I haven't pinched it tonight." ”

She mixed the words of Jingchu of Xiangtan that she heard from the streets and alleys, and said it as if she was begging for a god, it was really like that.

Chu Qi was dumbfounded.

The stall owner will be skeptical.

The people said that rushing was not a business, and Yugo turned around and left: "Since you are insincere, why should I abolish this tongue with you." ”

The stall owner hurriedly called out to her: "Wait a minute! ”

Yugo turned around slowly, suppressed the joy in his heart, and gave Chu Qi a look, which had been arranged a long time ago, Chu Qi understood his intentions and slipped away quietly.

The stall owner said to Yugo: "I've only heard of the insect poison you said, I have some rare things here, you can see if it is." ”

He took out a small bottle from under the rags on the ground, there were some words on it, it was dark and I couldn't see what the words were, Yugo didn't care about these, but the things in the bottle, the stall owner pulled off the bottle stopper, poured it into the palm of his hand, poured out a few black things, and handed them to Yugo.

The sheep's horn light was dim, and Yugo had to take a closer look, and it was sure that it was insect poison, and there was no footfootsteps, indicating that the seventh day of the first month had not attracted the lurking Dachun and other Goshha, so she delayed the time and asked the stall owner: "How much?" ”

The stall owner held up two fingers.

Yugo pretended to be surprised: "Twenty taels? It's too expensive. ”

The stall owner suddenly poured all the insect poison back into the bottle and said, "Have you ever been to southern Xinjiang to buy insect poison, this thing is more expensive than gold, you even said that twenty taels are expensive, it can be seen that you are really blind." ”

He was about to put it away, but Yugo held it down and said, "Doing business pays attention to bargaining, and it is the price you give." ”

The stall owner said, "The price I gave is two hundred taels, you just didn't understand it." ”

As soon as he lowered his head, he found that Yugo's hand on his arm was as white as jade, and it was as slender as a woman.

Woman? He looked at Yugo: "Are you a woman?" ”

In this case, Tamago did not quibble.

The stall owner said: "I don't do women's business, women are mostly long-tongued women, go out and talk nonsense, I don't plan to do this business in the future." ”

Yugo deliberately puzzled: "Last time you sold insect poison to a woman, why didn't you sell it to me." ”

The stall owner said angrily: "Hun said, I sold it to Wu ...... last time."

Suddenly, I remembered that I shouldn't disclose the name of the buyer, so I shut up in time.

At this time, the sound of footsteps like a shower came, and Yugo knew that Da Chun had brought someone here, so she grabbed the stall owner and shouted: "You dare to buy and sell things forbidden by the imperial court, and you will be arrested without restraint!" ”

The stall owner was so frightened that he tried to run away from her, but the goshha had already rushed up and pushed him to the ground.

Caught the original owner of the insect poison traded, brought back to the yamen for torture, at first the stall owner gritted his teeth and did not say anything, and finally lifted the eighteen torture instruments to the lobby, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and then confessed the fact that he bought and sold insect poison, as for the person he sold to last time was called Wu Fengyan, who was the shopkeeper of a mountain warehouse in Wula, Jilin.
