Su Mo entered the courtyard and tied the horse to the house outside the door, took down the bamboo building and a large basket of seafood and went directly to the kitchen, as familiar as walking in his own kitchen.

The eldest lady greeted them with a smile, very enthusiastic.

Yuqi thought about the sea crab he brought into the kitchen, and turned his eyes to look at Xiao Mu: "Wood, you accompany me to the kitchen to see if the sea crab is good." ”

"Yes, let's go. ”

Xiao Mu turned his head to see that the eldest lady was holding Su Mo's hand and kept talking, while Xiao Jie ran to see the dried fish drying on the rope, and he pulled Yuqi directly into the kitchen.

Open the lid on the bamboo building, the sea crabs inside have climbed to the wall of the bamboo building, if there is nothing to cover, I am afraid that at this moment it has climbed out of the fall.

"Wood, you go find a big wooden basin, I'll take a look at some of them, and I find that the crabs in here are different. ”

Xiao Mu stretched out his neck to take a look, but he didn't see it clearly, the key is that the vision of this kitchen is dim, plus they are all placed in the basket, and the small mouth is blocked by Yuqi for most of it, so it is strange to see clearly.

Xiao Mu Yiyan, seeing that the basins in the kitchen were small and couldn't fall, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

When she got to the courtyard, she told the old lady, she stretched out her hand, and the big basin was suddenly buckled on the cane, Xiao Mu walked over in a few steps, picked up the big basin and turned back to the kitchen.

Xiao Mu was afraid that this thing would not be able to catch Yuqi for a long time, so he stretched out his hand and turned the bamboo building upside down, and the crab fell out crackling like a dumpling.

"Oh my God, so many varieties of sea crabs. Yuqi was surprised.

Xiao Mu saw that the color and shape of the crabs were different, and he nodded undeniably.

Yuqi beckoned: "Quick, bring the basket over, I'll pick some." ”

Xiao Mu didn't dare to delay, and directly handed over the basket: "You be careful, I'll go get the chopsticks." ”

Yuqi didn't have his stubble at all, his eyes were full of those lively and active sea crabs, rolled up his sleeves, and skillfully selected the blue crab, flower crab, shuttle crab, king crab, flower cover crab, steamed crab, for people who grew up on the beach since childhood, what chopsticks do they use to hold crabs.

Xiao Mu took the chopsticks and took a look, she had already started to grab it, and his face changed in an instant, and when he looked carefully, she was not caught by this thing, but was very skillful in picking.

In a quarter of an hour, the picking is about the same, and the pot is left with more than half, which is not relatively lively, and it is very energetic to pick it up, so that it is convenient to breed in the space.

After the crabs are picked, all that remains is the shrimp in the basket, and there are so many varieties of crabs, presumably there are many varieties of shrimp.

Xiao Mu saw her situation, so he took the initiative to go outside and bring a big basin over, and brought out all the things in the basket.

As she expected, angler shrimp, giant prawns, kiwei shrimp, pipi shrimp, and even lobsters, it was simply wonderful.

She happily started to pick out a batch quickly, very, accurately, and put them in a separate small pot to raise, and then threw these small things into the space while he was away.

Outside the kitchen, Su Mo and the eldest lady chatted hotly, and after an hour, the eldest lady finally finished talking to Su Mo, bent down and went into the kitchen to make lunch for them.

Yuqi was full of questions, this Su Mo was obviously a rich man, but why did he come here to chat so happily with an older person, and she grabbed Su Shao's hand, but she didn't see him leave, which was very different from her previous perception of him.

"Alas, you're really amazing, not to mention finding this place, you can still talk to the eldest lady very hotly, I see that the eldest lady likes you very much. ”

Su Mo twisted his neck proudly and fanned the folding fan in his hand: "You don't know this." ”

"Don't sell it, say it quickly, what do you know?"

Su Mo adjusted his sitting posture and said to the three of them with a smile: " Last summer, I followed the vendor to buy fish here, but it happened that day, her son was bitten by something like a snake, he subconsciously ripped off the thing and threw it on the ground, but it didn't matter, his hand was immediately red and swollen, and he began to slowly turn purple and black, I saw that something was wrong, so I bled him, but it still didn't work, I was also a good person, look at this situation, we can't help it, after all, it is a life, this son is a good person to do it to the end, he took out the antidote pill that he had treasured for a long time, half of it was crushed and applied to the wound, and he was generally given warm water to take it, and waited for the old doctor in the village to come, and prescribed some medicine to remove snake venom, which saved his life, and that's it, he still had a fever and went to bed for three days and three nights. ”

"Since then, people here have not dared to eat anything that looks like a snake, so no one has come to buy it. Yuqi finally found the knot.

"Well, yes, that's when all the snake-like things they fished up and buried them, or they put them back in the sea. ”

Moray eels and sea snakes can be distinguished at a glance, the head of the moray eel is long, the mouth is large, while the front part of the sea snake is slender, the most important point is that the moray eel has no lin, but the sea snake has a lin.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, this allusion is indeed true, otherwise these fishermen would not be afraid of this thing and dare not eat it.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, a young and strong young man happily carried a flat shoulder and approached the courtyard gate.

The people in the courtyard looked over, he also looked back at the people in the yard, and was stunned for a moment, and saw a familiar figure in the crowd, he moved forward happily, rubbing his hands nervously.

"Brother Su, when did you come. ”

"Came in the morning with friends. ”

The guy looked back and saw that he had bought the biting thing in the morning, and he smiled innocently.

Yu Qi smiled back and nodded like him, they were really fateful.

Lunch was very simple, a pot of crabs was steamed, a plate of dried fish was steamed, a pot of prawns was cooked, a big fish was stewed, and a table was filled with just these few dishes.

"Hehehe, babies, you are friends brought by Xiao Su, you're welcome, our fishing village is like this, you don't leave the fish on and off the meal, you can eat whatever you like, Auntie, it's enough." ”

"Auntie, we can't eat enough, so you're welcome. Yuqi said with a smile.

At night, in Cangwolf Town, the village chief of Wujia Village sat in his house and was annoyed by the quarrels of the villagers.

There was a bunch of people around the courtyard, all of them either crying or angry, and the village chief slapped the table angrily.

"Shut up. ”

The courtyard was silent for a moment.

The village chief stood up and walked past them one by one with his hands behind his back, looking at some of them were hypocritical, some were purely coming to see the excitement but interjected, and none of them were fuel-efficient lamps.

"Fan Tian's father, Fan Qiuer's father, Wuqingliu and Wuhe's father, Wucui's father and mother stayed, and the rest of the people all went out. ”

The village chief spoke coldly, and the villagers reluctantly left the village chief's house, and began to chat in groups outside the door, talking about what happened in the town this morning.

Qingshan looked at these long-tongued women chewing on the root of their tongues there, snorted and closed the door, really too lazy to pay attention to them.

"Who of you is going on, what the hell is going on, why did this guy who sells snacks arrest a few of them?" the village chief looked at them as parents with a sad face.

Fan Qiu'er's mother, Fan Mengshi, wiped her tears and cried: "Early this morning, the child left, and before noon, someone sent a message saying that the child was arrested by the county government in the town. ”

The village chief's brows furrowed even tighter: "I'm crying after speaking, there must be an explanation for arresting people, what did they say when you went to ask in the afternoon?"

Aoyagi's mother, Su Shi, took Meng's words and cried: "Village chief, the official said that they sold poisonous things and ate people to death. ”

The village chief was suddenly shocked: "Are you sure it's dead?"

"Well, there were a lot of people who died, and when we went, those people were lying upright on the door panel, and the place of the county government hall was full, and the deceased's face was blue and black, and he was poisoned to death at a glance. ”

The village chief had a little trouble in his mind, so he precipitated: "What kind of poison is planted? ”

"Checked, it's arsenic. Wucui's mother said solemnly.

Arsenic?

The village chief didn't know what to say at this time, and stood stunned for a moment, the toxicity of this arsenic was quite domineering, and he would die if he touched it.

"Village chief, you have to think of a way, how do the children know what arsenic is, besides, they just want to make money, there is no need to poison it, it is still so poisonous. ”

"Yes, this is obviously a deliberate planting. Wu Cui's mother, Wu Yan, gritted her teeth.

After hearing this, the village chief felt weak at this time, and waved his hand: "I know, you all go back first, I will go to the town tomorrow to find out the news." ”

"Village chief, I'm such a girl as Qiu'er, you have to save her, he's only twelve years old, woo woo. Meng fell to his knees, tugging on the village chief's hem and begging.

One knelt on the ground and prayed, and the people behind knelt down and cried one after another, and the courtyard suddenly cried for help.

The mullet held his forehead: "How to save, so many people died at once, you said they were not poisoned, have you ever seen it with your own eyes?

"Won't you save it? This is a false accusation. Fan Shan glared at the village chief with red eyes.

"Framed? What about the evidence? Do you have it?"

Fan Shan was speechless, and choked on his neck: "If you don't have evidence, you will look for it, I believe that one day you will know this evidence." ”

"Then what nonsense are you still talking about, hurry up and look for it," the mullet was simply angry with them.

Wuhe's father, Wu Lao Liu, frowned: "This workshop has been sealed, where can we find evidence?"

"Go to the vicinity of the workshop and ask if there are any suspicious people in and out of the workshop, and secondly, if there is anyone they have a grudge with, it is best to find the shopkeeper of the carved wood shop, if there is a stranger into the workshop, he will know some. The mullet thought for a moment.

"Yes, yes, let's go"

"Come back, it's night, where are you going to look for it, tomorrow morning, you go to the town to find it separately, ask carefully, I hope it helps" The mullet sighed.

When the people were gone, Qingshan stepped forward to help his father sit down, and sighed lightly: "Fortunately in the misfortune, Yuqi did not interfere in it, otherwise, I don't know what will happen to Xiaomu." ”

"Hey, if Yuqi was here, it wouldn't have happened, as soon as Yuqi left, it happened. ”

"Yes, Dad, did you say they offended someone? That's why they did this."

The mullet nodded: "You think, this workshop is not something that ordinary people can enter, and this arsenic was found in the workshop, could it be." ”

"Impossible, Dad, it definitely wouldn't have been done by one of them, if that was the case, wouldn't she have killed herself?" Aoyama immediately refuted Dad's suspicions.

The mullet also shook his head suspiciously, and got up: "Forget it, I'll go out." ”

"Where are you going?"

He looked back at his son and said, "I'll go to Fan Laosi's house to see if he has a way, after all, it's a few lives."

Fan Junjiang opened the door, saw that it was the village chief, and dodged the way to let the village chief enter the courtyard.

Father Fan also sighed in annoyance: "Village chief, I heard about this matter, you said this is good, how could such a thing happen, it is really confusing." ”

"It's not that these children are bent on making money, thinking about making some money, how can they be poisoned, what good is this for them?" Zhu Yan has been worried about this since she heard about it, but fortunately, her eldest girl is not here, otherwise, she is afraid that she will want to die now.

"Junjiang, I came this time to ask if you have anything to do with the town, see if you can meet those children, and ask what is going on?" asked the mullet with an eyebrow.

Father Fan furrowed his eyebrows: "How can you say this, it can be regarded as existing." ”

"How can it be? Yes or no?"

"Hey, I'll just say it, Yuqi has seen the mayor once, but that's still through others, as for whether I can say it, I really don't know, but this matter has to wait for Yuqi to come back to be sure. ”

The mullet nodded in understanding: "I hope I can speak."

Father Fan also chimed in with a frown, and the mullet inquired about the matter clearly, and got up to say goodbye: "Junjiang, when Yuqi comes back, you have to be the first to inform me, do you know?"

"Don't worry, I'll let her go to you as soon as Yuqi comes back"

Father Fan sent the village chief away, relocked the gate, turned the front and back yards to the side, went to the livestock shed, looked at the cows and two deer, and saw that they were all alive, and returned to the house with peace of mind.

Zhu Yan saw that he had only come back for half a day and asked, "What did you do?" ”

"Hey, I went to check the backyard and looked, our yard is big, if there is a person hidden, it will not be easy"

Zhu Yan's face turned pale with fright when he said this: "No, you can't, don't be scary." ”

Father Fan took off his shoes and put on the kang, saw that her face was white, and said with a smile: "Look at your timid appearance, I just said that, you don't look at how high the courtyard wall is, who can enter if you want to? ”

"You're really annoying, you have nothing to do to scare people, sleep, don't bother to pay attention to you. Zhu Yan glanced at him, covered the quilt and turned around to sleep.

Fan Junjiang hehe, stretched out his hand and dragged her: "Anything else, we still have something to do, how can we just sleep?"

He watched as the lady shyly locked her head in the thin quilt, and he stupidly extinguished the kerosene lamp on the kang table.

It didn't take long for the sound of the rope to be heard, if Yujie heard it, he would scream and get up to catch the mouse, which was clearly the same as the sound of the mouse gnawing on the beam of the house in the middle of the night.

At this time, in Xingzhou Mansion, Yuqi didn't know what was going on at home, she didn't know, but Xiaomu received the news as soon as possible.

At the dinner table, Xiao Mu rarely asked Su Mo to accompany him around, and Yuqi was also willing to let them go shopping, so she could go back and put the crabs and shrimp into the space.

Xiao Mu and Su Mo left in a hurry, she led Yujie back to the guest room, and pushed her sister away, she opened the bamboo building and looked aside, and found that she was still alive, she threw all the crabs in the bamboo building into the space in one step.

It's a pity that the prawns are dead, she sighed.

Yu Jie saw the eldest sister sighing at the bamboo building tonight, and she smiled: "Sister, you don't still want to eat, you have eaten a lot today." ”

She rolled her eyes: "Eat, eat, eat, your sister and I know how to eat? ”

"Ah, that's a pity, I thought I could take it back to my grandfather and grandmother to eat, but now it's all in the soup. Yu Jie also learned from the eldest sister to sigh and sit on the chair.

When, when, when, there was a knock on the door, and then the sound came.

"Miss, the bath water you asked for is ready. ”

"Oh, come in"

The two Xiao Er worked together to bring in a bucket of bath water, Yu Qi moved the shrimp inside, and then handed it to Xiao Er: "Please throw this thing away."

Xiao Er took a look and smiled: "This thing is dead and can't be eaten, if Miss wants to eat it, there is a living one in our back kitchen, but it is much fresher than yours." ”

After hearing this, Yuqi immediately came to her senses: "Really, what else is there besides shrimp?"

"Quite a lot. ”

"Okay, you can take me to see it. ”

Yu Jie twisted her eyebrows: "Big sister"

"Well, you take a shower first, and I'll come back after a look." After Yuqi finished explaining to her sister, she went out of the house and closed the door tightly.

Xiao Er was still very enthusiastic, and while walking, he introduced how good his chef skills were in this inn, and when he went downstairs, Xiao Er led her to the back kitchen.

"Miss, you take your time, if you want to eat that, you can order it, the price is fair, and the taste is absolutely authentic, I guarantee that you are satisfied." ”

The chef and Xiao Er both looked at her with blank eyes, she was embarrassed not to, and stretched out her finger to the sea clams: "Make it." ”

The chef who stayed behind looked at it and smiled, "Okay." ”

Xiao Er saw that she had also finished ordering, smiled and said hello and left.

She only had time to observe the entire kitchen.

The kitchen is really not small, half of the place is used to place these seafood, and the basins on the ground are one after another, swept away at a glance, and there are more than a dozen of them.

It didn't take much effort to make razor clams, and it didn't take much effort to make them.

"Miss, your dish is ready, do you go up to the front hall to eat or go to the room to eat?"

"Don't worry, just put it there first. ”

The chef put the plate of vegetables in his hand on the case, and looked like no one was ordering, but he was idle, Yuqi thought about it, he had to sign the contract tomorrow afternoon, and he would leave in time to close the city gate today, what should I do?

Reluctantly, he watched it again, and called the cook: "I want all these living things, and the silver will be calculated according to the dishes you have made, what do you think?"

The chef also encountered this for the first time, and he didn't dare to make a decision, so he led her to the front hall to find the shopkeeper.

Yuqi saw that the shopkeeper said something different, and the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and then thought about it, anyway, these things are also for the guests to eat, and who to sell them to is not for sale, so he readily agreed.

The room on the second floor, Yujie had just finished taking a bath, when she heard someone knocking on the door, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was the eldest sister, and there were two little two behind her.

"Just put the basins next to each other. She stretched out her hand and pointed, Xiao Er looked over and saw that it was the root of the wall, and the two of them carried a heavy basin and placed it on the ground.

When she saw that this was not a problem, it would have to be carried one by one, and when it would be finished, she stopped the person who was leaving: "In this way, you can put the rest in two basins." ”

"Okay. Of course, they were not happy, and they were happy to answer.

Yu Jie sat on the edge of the bed and shook her head, Xiao Er lifted it twice, and carried all the things she bought into the house, and carried the bathtub down again.

Yuqi smiled at the seafood in the basin, and was just about to take the last step, branch out of her little sister, and turned around to look: "Xiaojie, I ordered you something delicious downstairs, you wait for wood and Su Mo while eating, if they come back, you will come back and tell me if you know?"

When Yu Jie heard that there was something delicious, she hurriedly walked over with clear eyes: "Sister, what is delicious." ”

"You go down to the cook and ask. ”

She didn't get an answer, so she pouted a few times and opened the door and left.

In the private room of a teahouse in Xingzhou Mansion, Wang Lumu held the note in his hand and pursed his lips: "Check." ”

"Master, I have already ordered to go down, and there will be a letter tomorrow, do you want to tell her about this matter?" When such a big thing happened, Su Mo had already ordered it as soon as possible, it was related to the future master mother, or his partner, and more than a dozen people died at this time, but it was not a trivial matter, of course, he had an extra heart.

"No, I don't. ”

Su Mo lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and then he knew what his master meant.

As soon as the two arrived at the inn, Yu Jie found it with sharp eyes, put down the plate in his hand and hurriedly ran back: "Sister, they are back." ”

Yuqi looked back and saw that there was nothing to take in the house, opened the door and pulled the little sister out, so that she could not see that the things in the basin were gone, and when she went out of the house, she happened to meet Xiaomu and Su Mo.

Su Mo saw that Fan Yuqi's expression was a little flustered, and hesitated, could it be that she knew? After thinking about it, she denied her idea again.

"Miss Fan, what are you doing here?" Su Mo pointed to the cloak she was holding with a fan in his hand.

"Of course, I'm looking for you to go back to the county, and I'm going to sign a contract with the magistrate tomorrow, so I can't be disgraced when I go to see you. ”

Su Mo nodded after thinking about it: "Okay, I'll go to the house and get something." ”

The four men and the two horses were on their way by night, as they had been when they came, and the road was as usual, and not long after they got out of the city gate, they were drowsy, until dawn, when they had arrived at the inn of good luck.

In the afternoon, Su Mo led Yuqi, and the two went directly to the mansion of the county magistrate, and were led in by the little maid guarding the door of the mansion, and then the housekeeper led them all the way into the county master's study.

"Brother Xiao, don't come unharmed. As soon as he entered the study, Su Mo hugged his fists and smiled at the magistrate who was sitting on the chair.

Xiao Jiang hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Hey~, Brother Su is polite, which of the two of us will do it." ”

Su Mo was not polite, picked up the red robe and sat on the chair elegantly, Yuqi slanted his eyebrows, he didn't use himself as a dish when he came in, I am afraid it is not appropriate to sit down with him, glanced at Su Mo, this guy chatted with the county magistrate very happily but put it aside.

Zhixian glanced back at her, and asked Su Mo with a smile: "Brother, this is." ”

Su Mo looked back at Xia Yuqi, and pretended to be annoyed: "Look at my memory, this is the little spirit I told you."

Xiao Jiang held his beard and smiled, looked Yuqi up and down, and saw that she was not stage frightened, so he nodded with satisfaction.

He beckoned to Yuqi: "Miss Fan, let me introduce you, this is our county, Xiao Jiang, Lord Xiao." ”

After Yuqi waited for Su Mo to finish his introduction, her starry eyes turned slightly, and she looked at Xiao Jiang with a light smile: "Little girl Fan Yuqi, I have seen the county master." "The hem is light and slightly blessed.

"Hahaha, hurry up, please get up, no need to be polite, please take a seat. Xiao Jiang bowed slightly, and vanished her.

He turned around and chatted with Su Mo for a while with satisfaction, and Su Shao took out the prepared contract and handed it to him.

Xiao Jiang and Su Mo have cooperated more than once or twice, and he is also proficient in this form, so he felt that there was no problem after reading it, so he signed his name on the contract.

It didn't take long for the study to let the butler ring.

"Master, it's not good, something is wrong" The butler's anxious voice sounded outside the study.

Su Mo shook his long eyebrows, still guessed the ** point, and said: "Brother Xiao, since there is something in the house, then the two of us will not bother, and the younger brother will invite the eldest brother to go for leisure another day, and don't shirk it when the time comes."

"Definitely, definitely, my brother will go then," he smiled as he returned the other two contracts.

Su Mo put it away and clenched his fists: "Brother Xiao, then we will leave." ”

"Brother Su walks slowly, Xiao Jiang won't send it. Su Mo opened up, Xiao Jiang said apologetically behind him.

"It's not the first time that the little brother in this house has come twice, and he is still familiar with the road, so he doesn't need to send it. Su Mo waved the fan in his hand and led Yuqi out of Xiao's Mansion quickly.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Su Mo took out her copy of the contract and stretched out her hand to her: "The contract has been signed, you go back and start this matter, you don't have to think about the silver problem, the farm can be expanded as much as it wants, if you encounter a thorny problem, the North Street Su Mansion will look for me." ”

"Okay, I'll go back and write the sub-plan, and try to sort out the preliminary budget and farm drawings as soon as possible. Yuqi put the contract into the wide sleeve and threw it into the space.

The carriage stopped at the door of the Good Luck Inn, and a person came out of the inn, with hurried footsteps, and the moment he saw Yuqi, Yinghuan shouted: "Little sister"

"Big brother, why are you here?"

"Walk home, said on the way. Ying Huan couldn't help but drag her to another carriage.

Yuqi frowned: "Wait, Xiaojie, the wood and the things I bought are in the inn, me." ”

"Sister, everything is packed, and Brother Mu is also in the carriage. Yujie heard the voice of the eldest sister, lifted the curtain and said.

Su Mo took a few steps forward: "It seems that there is something at home that is in a hurry to find you, you can go back first, if there is still something in the room, I will send someone to send it to you at that time." ”

Yuqi smiled gratefully: "That's okay, there will be less Laosu." ”

Turned around and followed the eldest brother into the carriage, the coachman who drove the car directly flicked a whip, and the two brown horses started running towards the road ahead, fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the horse could still run.

Su Mo saw them leave, and the inn didn't enter, so he turned around and left.

In the bumpy carriage, there were a lot of things on the ground, and on the seats, Ying Huan frowned sadly about what happened to the snack workshop they were engaged in.

The more Yu Qi listened, the more shocked she became, she had only been out for less than five days, why did such a thing happen at home.

The most important thing is that fourteen people died, this is not a trivial matter, what happened to them in the past few days?

"Little sister, the village chief went to beg the town mayor and wanted to see Qiu'er and them, but the town mayor said that this matter was very important, and he couldn't make the decision, so he wrote a fold and submitted it to the Huaiyang County County Government, and the matter was handed over to Huaiyang County. ”

Yu Qi also thought of what happened in the mouth of Xiao Zhixian's housekeeper at this time, I am afraid that this excerpt has been handed over to Zhixian.

"My dad asked you to come?"

"It's grandpa, originally the fourth uncle was thinking that he was telling you when you came home, but grandpa said that this matter cannot be delayed, things may change at any time, and I don't know what will happen later, so I asked me to find you back quickly. ”

Yuqi nodded, distraught, he and the magistrate had only had a relationship, if he took the liberty to go now, I don't know if he would see him, hey, everything is still unknown.

It was dark, the carriage entered Wujia Village, stopped at the door of Fan Junjiang's house, Fan's father had been guarding the yard, and when he saw that a carriage stopped at the door of his house, he turned his head and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, the child is back." ”

Zhu Yan hurriedly got on and off the kang to put on her shoes, walked to the yard and watched them pack big bags of things into the house, and she also went out to pick up things.

In the house, there were a bunch of things on the kang, and Father Fan and Zhu Yan did not have any joy when they saw the things, but on the contrary, their faces were indeed full of sorrow.

After Yuqi drank a glass of water, he got up and said, "Big girl, the village chief is waiting for you at home, you can go over and have a look."

"Dad, I'll go. ”

In the village, there are not a few people who always pay attention to this matter, and some people saw that Yuqi was back, so they ran to the families who were locked up in the prison to report the news. As soon as she arrived at the village chief's house, the families on her back feet also felt that even some villagers had gathered at the village chief's house, and there were people inside and outside the courtyard.

When the village chief saw Yuqi, he dragged her into the house and told the rest of the people to stay outside.

"Silly boy, you came back just in time, hurry up and pack a few clothes and leave?"

Yuqi twisted her eyebrows: "Uncle, don't worry, what's going on?"

The village chief saw that his face was sweating anxiously: "I can't say it slowly, you hurry up now, the mayor asked me to pass on the word, someone pointed out to you, saying that this workshop was opened by you, and this poisoning case will implicate you somewhat, the crime is not big, but it will be bad for your reputation, the mayor said that he will try his best to take you out, and when the wind passes, you will come back." ”

"Uncle, this matter is very strange, I can't go, if I go, then the few of them will be even more speechless, so tomorrow you take me to see the mayor, I will tell him face to face, maybe things will take a turn for the better. ”

Seeing that she was stubborn, the village chief was really sad, and sighed deeply: "That's okay, tomorrow at dawn, let's go to the town mayor, hey"

Yuqi is grateful to the village chief at the same time, but also grateful to the town mayor on one side, although it is only a cooperative relationship, but seeing that he can let the village chief quietly bring out the words, his love, she changed in her heart.

When I went out of the house, I saw that these people were all depressed, sad, and sad.

"Uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts, uncles, I believe that the five sisters in the prison will not poison the raw materials, this must be framed by someone, and now the matter has not been clarified, we have to cheer up, find evidence to avenge them, and by the way, find out the people who started in the shadows, and see who is so ruthless to frame them." ”

"Yuqi is right, if I find out the person who poisoned him, I will wave his skin alive, dig out his heart to see if it is red or black, and I won't even let go of such a little child. ”

The black cow stood up and shouted loudly.

Some people with a conscience also stood up to speak, and they all agreed with Wu Niu's words.

The mother of several little sisters and their father told Yuqi little by little the information they had collected in the town in the past two days, and Yuqi also knew some content from it, although it sounded like it was unrelated, but a careful string of connections, from which you can find some clues.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Xiaomu drove the ox cart to pull Yuqi and the village chief to the town together.

As soon as the mayor heard that it was the village chief of Wujia Village, he had a headache, and waved his hand: "I don't see it." ”

After a while, the official went in to report again: "Mayor of the town, there is a little girl who said that she is a friend of Su Shao, and she once had a relationship with the mayor. ”

The mayor didn't have to think about it, he knew who it was, and sighed: "Call the two of them in." ”

The official bent down to go out, Yuqi and Mullet entered the house one after another, and saw the mayor sitting on a chair with a tired expression, looking down and not knowing what to think

"Mayor of the town, it's really not Yuqi's wish to come and disturb, but it's Yuqi's little sister who is in prison, so I can't ignore it, and I ask the mayor to make it convenient. Yuqi stepped forward and was deeply blessed.

The mayor of the town stood up helplessly and walked around the case, lightly floated, and said: " Hey, from Su Shao's side, I can help naturally, but this time it is not trivial, fourteen people died at once, and from the small workshop found food mixed with arsenic, and now some people are correcting, in other words, it is conclusive that you took the lead in this small workshop, and the six of you opened it together, fortunately, you were not at the scene at the time, and the suspicion of poisoning was cleared, but the matter of this small workshop still has to be sealed, and you are more or less implicated, if those dead ask for some compensation, you still have to pay some silver。 ”

If the money is given before it is clarified, it will undoubtedly convict them of poisoning, and this kind of thing must not be done, and when the person who poisoned them is found, the case is understood, and the innocence of the few of them is returned.

Yuqi raised her eyes and said, "Mayor Town, I have a few doubts that I don't understand, and I want to ask for advice." ”

"You say. ”

"First, where did they buy the arsenic? Second, why did they poison it, and what was their motive? Third, if it was poisoned, why did they leave the arsenic in its original place waiting for you to investigate?"

"This. The mayor of the town was speechless.

Yu Qi then eased his emotions and said: "I know that this matter has been handed over to the magistrate, if the estimate is good, someone from the county will come today, before they arrive, can I go and meet a few of them?"

The mayor looked at her in embarrassment, pondered for a long time, and finally gave her half an hour.

Yuqi was overjoyed, blessed him, and then followed closely behind the official with the village chief.

The town's prison was surrounded by high walls, with sabers at the door, and locked iron doors, and a middle-aged man and a little girl behind him, who stretched out his hand to stop them.

"The cell is heavy, and no one is allowed to enter. ”

The official showed the mayor's waist card, and the guards stepped forward to check, and after confirming it, they didn't talk nonsense, took off the key on their waists, opened the iron door, and explained again, making sure that they all understood, and then let them in.

Although it was summer, the prison was damp and dark, cockroaches could be seen everywhere on the ground, and the criminals in the prison saw someone coming in, pounced, stretched out their hands through the wooden cage, as if trying to grab their kicks, and with a hope in their eyes, they cried out loudly.

"Shut up, shut up Lao Tzu, I'm calling, don't give food at night. The official fiercely slammed the cage with the big knife at his waist.

When the prisoners saw that he was fierce, and when they heard that there was no food to eat, they kept silent.

The three of them turned a corner on the right side of the intersection in front of them, until they reached the top, there were two iron cages, which were for felons, and they were the ones who were locked inside, and they were also divided into switches, one iron cage for three people, one iron cage for two people, and the two cages were connected.

"Little Liu, I, I'm here. Xiao Cui stretched out her arm and grabbed Yuqi's hand, looking at her with a smile and a smile.

"Yuqi, Yuqi, why did you get in. In the iron cage inside, Qiu'er and Fan Tian also stood up and looked through the gap in the cage and handed it over.

The official sent them here, and instructed them not to talk for too long, and the people above could come in at any time, so he called and waited outside the door.
