Chapter 228: Things
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Bai Susu also felt that something was wrong, according to Mingxiang's meaning, Soho was calculated, and the person who calculated her was Liu Daniu.
"Then Liu Daniu must have colluded with those yacha and wanted to kill Soho's life." Mingxiang said hatefully.
"Since Liu Daniu has divorced his wife, then Soho has nothing to do with her, why do you want to let people arrest her again?" Bai Susu asked.
Although she also felt that Su Ho's sudden arrest had something to do with Liu Daniu, she still felt that something was wrong.
Wen Yan Mingxiang took out an envelope from her sleeve and handed it to Bai Susu, "This is what Soho gave me earlier, saying that it was their family's ancestral recipe and asked me to keep it safe, and she also said that Liu Daniu would definitely murder her for this recipe." ”
Bai Susu took the envelope and opened it, and inside was a densely written recipe, recording in detail the recipes of various lo-mei.
"If Liu Daniu is for this recipe, then it makes sense." Bai Susu put the recipe back into the envelope and handed it back to Mingxiang, "You must put this away, it can protect Soho's life." ”
Mingxiang nodded and put the recipe away again, "Auntie, the slave maid can only beg you for Soho's affairs, you must help her." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell Lord Lu about this matter, you guys live in Zhuangzi now, give me some time."
Mingxiang knew her difficulties, and she didn't dare to urge too hard, and it was already late at night, so she saw that Bai Susu was a little tired on her face, and she didn't want to disturb her much, so she got up and said goodbye first.
Bai Susu lay on the bed after freshening up, although he was a little sleepy, worried that something was going on inside and couldn't sleep well, so he arrived the next day in a daze.
Lu Zhiyuan entered Zhuangzi in the afternoon of the next day, and Bai Susu saw people coming, and trotted all the way to the door of Zhuangzi, and a layer of sweat broke out on his tired forehead.
She looked at the people who were riding towards her in the distance, and she could only squint against the light to see the outline.
"Why are you so tired and sweating profusely." Lu Zhiyuan turned over and dismounted, and saw his little aunt waiting at the door, with a sparkling and smiling look in her eyes, which swept away all the troubles of these days. He reached out and took her hand, although it was a reproach, but his eyebrows were gentle and soft, "You don't have to run so far to pick me up in the future, wait for me in the house." You sweat a lot, and it's easy to catch a cold when the wind blows. ”
Bai Susu listened to his babbling words, and in this slightly cool late autumn, his heart was warm and unpleasant, "I know." ”
Lu Zhiyuan took her hand and entered the door, and after entering the house, Bai Susu served him to change into regular clothes, and wiped his face and hands with a hot towel.
"How is Zhao Ping's incident now?" Bai Susu asked.
"The autumn queen will be asked."
Lu Zhiyuan also found a few senior colleagues these days to ask Zhao Ping about the possibility of overturning the case, and the answer he got was the same as he thought, unless the emperor beat the drum and shouted grievances, there was no way.
Bai Susu sighed, although he had been prepared, he was still very uncomfortable when he heard the news, "By the way, Mingxiang and his wife came over last night, and I heard that something happened to Suhe, and now they are locked up in the county jail." ”
Lu Zhiyuan nodded when he heard this, "I'll ask someone to go to the yamen to ask later, what happened." Seeing that she seemed to have some intention to say something, she asked again, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
She said all the speculations that Ming Xiang said to herself, "Although Ming Xiang has no evidence now that this matter is the ghost behind Liu Daniu's back, he is also the most suspicious." ”
"What do you think?" Lu Zhiyuan asked rhetorically.
Bai Susu thought for a while and said, "I believe in Mingxiang's words in this matter, this Liu Daniu is already bad-hearted, and he also has the motive to make it bad." ”
Lu Zhiyuan smiled, "Well, since you said that Liu Daniu framed Soho for the sake of the lo-mei recipe, the recipe didn't arrive for a day, and Soho's life was not in danger for the time being." ”
"That being said, I can't guarantee that Liu Da Niu was ruthless, and he couldn't get Fang Zi and killed Su He in a fit of anger." What Bai Susu is most worried about is this situation, since Liu Daniu can do something that doesn't care about Soho's life and death at that time, what can't he do.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone look into this matter. If the matter really has something to do with Liu Daniu, I won't let him get away with it. Lu Zhiyuan shook her hand and gently patted the back of her hand twice as comfort.
Bai Susu saw that he agreed, and he felt a lot more relieved. Seeing that it was not early, he thought that Lord Lu must have never eaten all the way over, so he hurriedly asked the kitchen to set up a meal.
They are eating, and they are also eating in the Liu family's compound on the other side.
Liu Mansion is feasting today is Wu County Ling, the two of them are a little drunk after three rounds of drinking, Wu County Ling held the wine glass in one hand, and the other hand hugged Liu Daniu's shoulder affectionately, and said drunkly, "Brother Liu, I made an exception this time to put Su He in prison for you, if it is investigated above, it will be difficult to do." ”
Liu Daniu naturally understood the meaning of Wu County's words, he secretly scolded a few words of insatiable greed in his heart, and when he asked Wu County to order this matter, he sealed a large sum of silver, which would clearly be a rip-off.
Although he was dissatisfied, he still accompanied the smiling face, turned around and nodded to the housekeeper behind him, and soon the housekeeper came back with a sandalwood box, Liu Daniu took the box, put it in front of Wu Xianling and opened it, there were three layers inside, all of which were rows of small gold ingots. Wu Xian Ling glanced at it, and immediately smiled, but he still pretended to be drunk, staggered on the table, closed the lid of the box casually, and burped again, "Brother Liu, why am I a little dizzy, now that I am old, I am not strong enough to drink." ”
Liu Daniu sneered in his heart, where is he not strong enough to drink, this is obviously deliberately to blackmail money, and he will leave as soon as the money arrives.
"Come on, quickly help Lord Wu go to the wing room to rest for a night." Liu Daniu shouted to the people at the door.
"No, no, no, there is something going on over there in my yamen, and I must go back tonight." Wu Xianling staggered to his feet, "Next time I will definitely come to Brother Liu's place to drink, Brother Liu's wine is more fragrant than other places." ”
Liu Daniu laughed twice and personally sent Wu County Ling away.
After the others sent them away, Liu Daniu returned to the house and smashed a set of tea sets on the table to vent, sat on the table and sulked, but the housekeeper came again with a sad face, holding the account book, "Master, there is not enough money at home." ”
"Why is it not enough, didn't you just pay five hundred taels last month?" Liu Daniu was angry, and he was even more angry when he saw the housekeeper's bitter gourd face.
The housekeeper thought to himself, he paid the silver last month, but he didn't have any silver this month, he smiled awkwardly, "Master, you bought a new set of calligraphy and paintings of Mobao Zhai last month, and it cost three hundred and eighty taels." Ten days ago, he spent a hundred and twenty taels on a banquet, and there was no more of the five hundred taels left. Today's meal is a total of eighty taels, and we still pay credit to the restaurant. Now there's someone urging you from the restaurant, you see-"
Liu Daniu was born in poverty, and his life suddenly got better, so he couldn't adapt for a while, and he was worried that he would be looked down upon by others, so there was only one word for everything used in the family, that is, expensive.
Expensive things are equivalent to burning money in disguise, in the past, Liu's lo-mei shop had a good sound, although spending money like running water would not affect anything, but now that business is sluggish, Liu Daniu still spends money like flowing water like before, and naturally soon reveals his shortcomings.
Since Liu Daniu started trading, he has never encountered such a tight time, and it has been smooth sailing all these years. But who knows what kind of bad luck has fallen this year, and the flow of the shop has shrunk by half. The situation was particularly serious in the past two months, most of the shops were not only unprofitable but even suffered large-scale losses, forcing him to close two shops to get through the difficulties first.
But instead of improving, the situation is getting worse and worse, no matter where his lo-mei shop is, the same shops will appear around him, not only selling the same things as him, but even new flavors that are more subtle than his.
At first, he just thought it was a coincidence, after all, he was not the only one in the world who could make lo-mei, but when he got to the end, he felt that something was wrong, the lo-mei shop was like a special anti-him, everything was cheaper than him.
Once is a coincidence, and if there are many coincidences, someone is bound to make trouble behind it. He secretly sent someone to check the owner behind the lo-mei shop, and this check found out his nemesis, and he also found out that Soho had once found his nemesis.
What else doesn't understand about this, it must be Soho who gave the lo-mei recipe to his nemesis.
Liu Daniu was furious, and he was about to take someone to teach Soho a lesson, but suddenly he remembered another thing.
His lo-mei recipe was given to him by Soho back then, and he had always thought that there was only one recipe over the years, but this incident made him realize that Soho must have other recipes in his hands.
The more Liu Daniu thought about it, the more angry he became, Soho, a slut, didn't take out the recipe for so long. He came up with an idea to use Wu Xianling's connections to arrest Soho in prison, so that he could take the opportunity to torture Soho to get other lo-mei recipes from her mouth.
He thought that things would be very simple, but he didn't know that Wu Xianling was an insatiable person, and he had taken a lot of money from him these two times, but he didn't dare not give it.
"How much money is left on the account?" Liu Daniu was upset, and reached out to pour himself a glass of water, but found that the teacups were smashed, so he had to keep a calm face and not speak.
"I still owe three hundred and twenty taels now." Seeing that his face was ugly, the housekeeper hurriedly lowered his head and replied with a respectful look, he stretched out his hand to open the account book, "The silver to buy rice is thirty taels, and it costs fifty taels to buy vegetables and meat. There are also four and two are the monthly money of the people in the house, which has not been paid for two months, and the people have some opinions. ”
The more Liu Daniu listened, the more angry he became, and in the end, when the housekeeper said that he hadn't paid people's wages for two months, his face directly turned the color of pig liver.
