Chapter 49: Zhao Niangzi
Zhao Niangzi twisted her waist slightly, shook the fan, and said with a painless smile: "I naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to think that after donating that 10,000 yuan of money and letting the county guard house tide over the difficulties, the county guard government will remember me for a lifetime." But the poor men in the county guard mansion often come to the gambling house to play, and it is not a lie. In this matter, Lord Wang can stop my mouth, but he can't stop the mouths of these gamblers who come to the block shop every day. ”
After Chen Chaoyan glanced at Wang Da twice, he turned his eyes and asked Mrs. Zhao, "Zhou Zhongcai often comes to the gambling house?" ”
"Lord Zhou will come here two or three times a month," Zhao Niangzi looked at Wang Da's cold face defiantly, and said unhurriedly, "But the other errands in the county guard mansion will come over every three or five times." Especially the right-hand man in the hands of Lord Wang, Master Ma, will come over almost every day. ”
Ma Huai?
After Chen Chaoyan glanced at Wang Da twice, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Two or three times a month...... Shopkeeper Zhao also said just now that he can't remember trivial things. ”
"I can't remember trivial things, but what if it's not trivial things?" After Zhao Niangzi asked rhetorically, she asked and replied, "For example, every time he comes, he will bring one or two pieces of money; For another example, he lost nine out of ten bets, and the gamblers in the gambling house were most looking forward to his arrival. It's hard for me not to remember it, even if I don't want to. ”
Chen Chaoyan said tentatively: "In other words, Zhou Zhongcai and Shi Zhi know each other? ”
"If you don't know it, I don't know." Seeing that the corridor was about to come to an end, Zhao Niangzi stopped and said slowly, "Just listen to the steward, Lord Zhou only bets on the size, every time he comes over, half of the money is lost to Shi Zhi." ”
After a pause, she finally persuaded: "When you go out of the corridor and walk up for a while, you will be full of filth. things are in place. ”
"If Miss Chen is willing to listen to my advice, don't go."
"Rich and noble families value face the most. King Jin is broad-minded and can not mind Miss Chen going in and out of these cheap places, but people are terrible, and Miss Chen had better be careful. Such a splashing wealth is not something that anyone can encounter, and if Miss Chen encounters it, it is better not to miss it. Otherwise, it will not be easy to meet again in the future. ”
At this point, she looked at Wang Da again, "Lord Wang's ability to solve the case is also one of the best, but he went to see how Shi Zhi drowned, and he was competent enough to do it without Miss Chen." ”
The cold color on Wang Da's face hadn't had time to rein, and when he heard her words, he snorted coldly: "Miss Chen's matter, it's not Zhao's turn to point fingers!" ”
Chen Chaoyan also followed: "People's words stop at the wise, and I understand the kindness of the shopkeeper Zhao." ”
Seeing that she was resolute, Zhao Niangzi shook her head and sighed: "I am from here, Miss Chen will suffer sooner or later if she doesn't listen to my advice." ”
Chen Chaoyan smiled, glanced at Wang Da schematically, and left.
Out of the corridor, I walked for a while.
The crowd came to the latrine where Shi Zhi had drowned.
Looking at the thatched toilet with a size of forty square meters, Chen Chaoyan touched his nose covered with a handkerchief, and praised Ruolan Dao: "You are still prescient." ”
Ruolan said dryly: "I have already come with my son last night. ”
Chen Chaoyan said sincerely: "Sympathize with you. ”
Ruolan looked at her.
Chen Chaoyan said: "I will try my best to ...... Be quick, let you suffer less. ”
Wang Da heard it on the side and interjected: "This toilet was not so big at the beginning, but it was slightly larger than the normal toilet, which was convenient for people who came to gamble." After convenience, the manure water is collected by Luo Guo, who sells dung for a living in the north of the county. As the gambling house business gets better and better, Naluo pot will come to collect three or four times a day. As time went by, the shopkeeper Zhao stopped doing it. That's how the latrine grows, and it grows bigger and bigger. The dung water is still collected by Naluo pot, but it is collected once every three or five days, and it is necessary to give money to Zhao's shopkeeper at the line price. ”
Chen Chaoyan asked: "Has anyone ever fallen into it or drowned in the past?" ”
"There are a lot of people who fall into it, and there are all kinds of people every three or five times. Drowned, over the years, plus Shi Zhi, there are only four. Those who drowned, as Shopkeeper Zhao said, lost money and sent away. The ...... who fell" Without waiting for Chen Chaoyan to continue asking, Wang Da pointed sideways and pointed to the back of the right, "Well, over there, that's the ready-to-wear shop and bathhouse opened by Zhao's shopkeeper." ”
Chen Chaoyan couldn't comment on Zhao Niangzi's behavior of treating human life like a mustard. But I admire her ability to do business very much. Looking at the latrine, after taking two dark breaths, Chen Chaoyan was extremely reluctant, but he had to let Yuejian push her in.
The forty-square-meter latrine is a huge pothole, with more than a dozen thigh-thick tree trunks hanging in the air at six-inch intervals. The trunk of the tree has not even been peeled, and it is just laid out in its original state. When I went to the latrine, I stepped on two tree trunks, and the bolder ones walked inside, and the less timid ones were on the edge.
Chen Chaoyan really couldn't bear the impact of the stench and the yellow and white things in the pit, so he quickly glanced at it a few times, and after making sure that the light screen was recorded, he quickly retreated.
I quit Jishanfang, got into the carriage, and ate a hundred flower pills handed by Yuejian before I suppressed the stench.
In Zhao Niangzi's soft voice, 'Miss Chen has time to move around', after moving away from Jishanfang, Chen Chaoyan slowly eased up. Seeing this, Yue saw that while making tea for her, she asked curiously, "Hasn't Miss Chen solved such a case before?" ”
"Broken." Chen Chaoyan didn't want to say more.
After Yuejian made the tea and handed her a cup, she didn't see her thoughts and asked, "Then how did Miss Chen overcome today's situation before?" ”
She makes flower tea.
The thick incense mist curled around the end of his nose, which made Chen Chaoyan's mood gradually calm down, "There is an anti-poison and anti-odor mask, which is similar to the style of Jinpa when the nose is covered." ”
Tsukimi said casually: "Flower dew can prevent poison and odor, and it can also calm the mind." Wrapping the flower dew with a brocade and sewing it up is almost like a mask? ”
As he spoke, he took out a large jade bottle with his thumb from his arms, dipped his fingertips a little, and pointed it on the tip of her nose.
Feeling the coolness that instantly soaked into his mind, Chen Chaoyan looked down at the little crystal on the tip of his nose and said, "It's almost." ”
It's almost the same as the wind oil essence.
It's just more refreshing than the wind oil essence, plus the aroma is pleasant.
Tsukimi was satisfied: "Then I'll sew a few masks for you when I go back." ”
Chen Chaoyan nodded, "I'll draw you the style of the mask when I go back." ”
The moon should be good.
The carriage moved slowly, and soon it was in the middle of the city.
The hustle and bustle of people, accompanied by the summer heatwave, instantly rushed into the carriage.
Chen Chaoyan heard that half of the people were talking about her, half of them were talking about Zhou Zhongcai's case, and only two or three people were talking about Shi Zhi's drowning in the thatched toilet in Jishanfang.
Chen Chaoyan looked at the few people who were talking about Shi Zhi in a smooth voice. I found that when they were discussing, they did not hide from people's eyes. But when others heard it, at most, they said that 'it is a matter of time before someone falls into the toilet every day and is drowned', so they don't say much.
The people of Pingtou knew that something would happen sooner or later, but Zhao Niangzi insisted on making money and ignored this safety hazard...... Chen Chaoyan tilted his head slightly, and was about to ask Wang Da what kind of difficulty Zhao Niangzi had overcome by donating 10,000 yuan to the county guard, when he saw Wang Da let Lingyou go first, and he rode towards the nearby pharmacy.
