Chapter 73: Lord Xiao Shen is still Lord Xiao Shen! (1st Update)

But at this time, there were seven people who were coming out of the Lingya Tea House.

In addition to the three boys, there was a rich girl and her maidservant, and an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face, who could not even walk the road, and a little servant who supported him.

For example, it is already twilight today, and many people who go out are rushing home, which is the peak period for the departure of teahouse guests.

There were also many more pedestrians looking hurried on the street outside, and many stall owners who were setting up stalls on the side of the road also began to pack up their things and prepare to go back.

At this moment, a panicked shout suddenly came from not far away, "Let's go!" Let's let it! ”

But he saw that the voice was made by a young man who was holding a large pile of cloth and covering his eyes, he obviously overestimated his ability, and thought that he had the ability to transport so many fabrics at one time.

However, it was unrealistic for him to throw all the fabrics on the ground now, so he could only hold on to the crumbling fabric in his arms and walk forward crookedly.

Next to the Lingya Tea House was a cloth village, and the young man had obviously just finished purchasing the cloth from the cloth house, and was in a hurry to carry the cloth to the carriage parked outside.

The people around him couldn't help but be attracted to him, and they all gasped for him when they looked at the cloth tower that seemed to be collapsing in the next second.

Several people who were coming out of the Lingya Tea House also cast their eyes on him.

However, the young man's luck was obviously very bad, and just as he was about to walk to the carriage, a tall man carrying a large bag of unknown things suddenly walked out of the alley next to him, and the two collided unexpectedly!

Suddenly, the pile of fabric that the young man was holding in his hand and the bag of things that the man was carrying on his shoulder were scattered all over the ground!

The bag on the man's shoulder was obviously not tightly tied, and everything inside was spilled out, but he saw that it was full of black-brown pieces of dirt-like things!

"Hey! Oh my fabric! That's the fine silk that our lady asked me to buy! ”

The young man's pile of cloth was mixed with the black and brown earth-like thing, and the originally brightly colored fabric suddenly became dirty, and the young man jumped up in a hurry.

"What are you doing with a bag of mud when you have nothing to do! There's a yard of trees to be planted in your house! ”

It's just that in the end, he was the first to blame, and he didn't blame others too much, so he complained angrily, and quickly bent down to pick up the fabric on the ground.

The tall man was in a good temper, and he quickly put the mud on the ground back into the burlap sack.

Several people sitting on the second floor of Ya Ming Xuan witnessed the whole farce.

Chen Li and Sun Heng couldn't help but glance at each other silently.

This is what Madame just said?

Madame knew in advance that something was going on, indicating that she was probably planning it.

But...... Does this have anything to do with the fact that they're looking into it?!

Sun Heng suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, those prisoners said earlier that the immortal medicine they often smoke is black-brown and looks like a mud block......

Madame designed such a scene, could it be......

Before he could finish thinking about it, he heard the woman opposite chuckle and sighed: "I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain......

As he spoke, Shen Qing looked at Sun Heng and Chen Li, and pointed to four of the seven people who had paused in front of the Lingya Tea House for a short time because of the farce just now, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Master Sun, Manager Chen, the old man who was supported by the little servant, and the three young men, are the people we are looking for to buy medicine!" ”

Chen Li and Sun Heng were stunned, but they were not stupid, and they quickly understood the basis for Shen Qing's judgment.

Chen Li frowned and said, "Madam deliberately let people scatter things similar to immortal medicine in front of them, and take the opportunity to observe their expressions to judge if they are usually smoking immortal medicine?"

But there are so many guests who come and go in and out of Lingya Tea House every day, how can Madame know that there must be people who buy medicine among these seven people? ”

It's not that this kind of temptation can't be used, but it can't be used too often, and if the same accident happens too often, a fool will notice that something is wrong.

Therefore, Madame must have locked someone in order to deliberately let people perform such a scene in front of him!

Sun Heng couldn't help but say: "Fang Cai has been observing those seven people, and when those mud pieces are scattered, the expressions of the old man and the three teenagers are indeed the strangest.

The old man had been staring at the mud on the ground, trembling all over, and looking like he was going to rush over to pick it up, if it wasn't for his little boy desperately stopping him, he would have gone over to grab the mud from the ground with the man.

And the three teenagers also kept staring at those mud blocks, with a longing look on their faces, which was obviously different from the expressions of the others watching the play!

Could it be that Madame already knew that the four of them were smoking that immortal medicine? ”

Shen Qing retracted his gaze and said with a faint smile: "I only locked on the old man at first, and I sat here all afternoon in order to screen out people who might be smoking immortal medicine.

Generally speaking, people who have been taking the drug for a long time will describe it as withered, emaciated, dull eyes, and numb expression.

Of course, judging by these characteristics alone is not accurate enough, and it cannot be ruled out that some people are born with a weak foundation, or because some bad lifestyle habits affect the body.

So, in the end, I only locked on the old man, the old man is a lot old, and he can't even walk on the road, such an old man usually rarely even goes out of the door, how can he come to the teahouse to drink tea for recreation? And he came to the teahouse very early in the afternoon, and sat for almost an hour and a half, during which he only had a pot of tea and didn't ask for anything, obviously, the purpose of his coming here was not for recreation, but for side things!

It's just that I didn't expect that those three teenagers also came to buy medicine. ”

Chen Li and Sun Heng couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

They only knew that Shen Qing had come here to investigate, but they didn't expect that she had been sitting here for an afternoon!

Sun Heng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "I see, Mrs. is so concerned about this matter, she is really ashamed of herself!" ”

"I'm concerned about this because I know that once this drug spreads widely, its harm is enough to wipe out a big country."

Shen Qing said lightly: "Now it seems that although this medicine has spread in Daqi, its impact is limited, and it is still under control, no matter what, we must suppress it!" ”

Sun Heng couldn't help but be moved: "Yes, Madam is right!" Now send someone to contact those four people and try to convince them to cooperate with our investigation! ”

Sure enough, no matter how long it has passed, Lord Xiao Shen is still the same Lord Xiao Shen who serves the country and the people!

Shen Qing suddenly narrowed his eyes, "It's not an attempt, it's a must." We finally found a breakthrough, how can we let it slip away?

Master Sun might as well start with the man in the royal blue robe among the three teenagers.

When I went to the Marquis Wei Qi's mansion for a banquet in the morning, I happened to have some dealings with these teenagers. The young man in the royal blue robe is Lang Jun of Wu'anhou's mansion, I know Wu'anhou, he is the most righteous and awe-inspiring, upright, if you know that their family has Lang Jun actually infected with the bad habit of not being able to be on the table, I am afraid that I have the heart to clean up the door on the spot. ”

Shen Qing smiled and said word by word: "If the Lang Jun of the Wu'an Hou Mansion is unwilling to help us, and we don't need to make a move, the Wu Anhou will personally beat him to cry and beg to help us." ”
