Chapter 135: Soup kitchen

Yanping County Ya, South Prison Prison, Female Prison Cell.

Xu Zhen took five or six medicine bottles and opened the lids separately for Mrs. Wei Sena to sniff.

After smelling the first few bottles, Senna shook her head, except for the last one, Senna recalled, "It seems like this is a bit like this." ”

Xu Zhen looked at the label, but saw that it was written with a name with a very high appearance rate: Mandala.

Xu Zhen knew that mandala contains alkaloids, which are highly toxic substances that were commonly used for anesthesia in ancient times.

Unexpectedly, in the midst of the incense, it is also needed.

"But...... The one I smelled, it seemed to be more fragrant, it was the scent of a flower......" Senna sniffed a few more times to make it more memorable.

"Of course," Xu Zhen said, "if you want to make a fan incense, only this one ingredient will naturally not work, can you think of something?" ”

"Sachets," said Senna, "the man definitely had the sachets on him, and the scent was much stronger than these, and I could smell the fresh pollen, and a little bit of sweetness, as if it were ...... What it looks like with honey......"

As she spoke, Sena's cheeks were crimson, her breathing was short, and her hand unconsciously pressed on Xu Zhen's neck.

"Mrs. Wei," Xu Zhen asked hurriedly, "are you alright?" ”

"Don't call me Mrs. Wei," Sena pushed Xu Zhen away, "I have nothing to do with that sinister villain anymore!" ”

After pushing Xu Zhen away, Sena eased up a lot.

Xu Zhen realized that it might be caused by the fact that she had smelled too many incense materials just now, right?

These small bottles are all the main ingredients that Xu Zhen found through the incense recipe in the "Demon Dao" record.

In order to configure the real incense, the process is slightly complicated, and many rare and precious accessories need to be added, Xu Zhen can only bring the main ingredients first and let Sena identify them.

I didn't expect that the main ingredients are so violent, if this is formulated into a real incense, then you have to control yourself, and you must not be a flower thief?

……

Entrusted with the matter of loyalty, Xu Zhen wanted to use this free time to solve the cuckold incident of Wei Yulang.

After coming out of the prison, Xu Zhen went to the Wei Mansion to discuss with Wei Yulang to see if he could gather the people in the guest list to the Wei Mansion again.

Because, according to the materials provided by Wei Yulang, Xu Zhen checked all these guests, and did not find a few suspects among them.

And the suspects found are now all ruled out, either because they don't match their body type, or they have never seen Senna.

Originally, there was a suspicion of opening a pharmacy, but all the servants in the house clearly remembered that the man was finally carried home because he drank too much, and he did not stay in the Wei Mansion, so it couldn't be him.

Therefore, Xu Zhen wanted to gather those people again and check them in person.

Who knows, when I arrived at the Wei Mansion and asked, the maid in the house said that Wei Yulang went to Wanhualou to give porridge!

Soup kitchen?

Xu Zhen was surprised, and the maid in the house hurriedly added: "There are also steamed buns and pickles......

What's going on?

Xu Zhen scratched his head again and again, Wei Yulang was giving porridge at the door of Wanhualou?

That's too fresh, right?

With the intention of watching the excitement, Xu Zhen rushed to Wanhualou.

Sure enough, I saw that those charming sisters in Wanhualou really gave porridge at the door to help the poor.

I strangled my obedientness, and Xu Zhen was dumbfounded.

But among the young ladies, there are many exotic beauties, they all rolled up their sleeves, exposed their white jade arms, poured porridge and rice for the poor people in line, and worked in full swing, forming a unique and beautiful landscape.

At first, some hooligans and scoundrels wanted to come and take advantage, but Wanhualou thugs were like clouds, and they quickly drove them away to ensure that every poor person could get help.

According to the inquiry, the soup kitchen was actually going on for ten consecutive days, and Wanhualou was also closed for ten days.

It seems that Wei Yulang has also made a bloody investment.

However, Xu Zhen searched for a long time, but did not see Wei Yulang himself, nor did he see Wei Yulang's housekeeper Lao Liu.

His subordinates said that Wei Yulang might have gone to the county government to give gifts to the newly appointed county magistrate.

No way?

Hearing this news, Xu Zhen was even more surprised, Wei Yulang has always thought highly of himself, how could he look down on a small county order?

But after the shock, he also figured out Wei Yulang's psychology.

Wei Yulang was elected by the people as the head of the four bullies, the so-called officials, bandits, businessmen, and blacks, and now the latter three have been destroyed, and now he is the only one left.

Wei Yulang can not be afraid of the court or the county government, but he has to be afraid of the common people?

The fall of the three bullies this time made him really see how great the power of the common people is, at this time, once someone fanned the flames, I am afraid that a small flame can burn Wei Yulang to slag!

The people don't care how big your backstage is or how many foreign friends you have, as long as it doesn't like it, burn your Wanhualou first, and then burn your Wei Mansion, so that you have nothing.

Therefore, Wei Yulang's mentality must have changed dramatically and he became a frightened bird.

He knew that the situation was not right, so the top priority was to please the people and the county order, so as not to set himself on fire......

Interestingly, Song Zhili left, but reversed the status of the county order, Chen Houlu held Wei Yulang's power of life and death in his hands, and had to make Wei Yulang afraid.

What's more, Chen Houlu has a golden belt pinned to his waist, and his status is naturally rising, which is not the same.

All right!

Xu Zhen didn't have the heart to go to the yamen to see Wei Yulang's embarrassment, so he went straight home.

Although she dreamed of going to Jinxiu Study to study, because the distance was not far, she still went home every day at noon to cook for Xu Zhen.

There will be a lantern night market tomorrow night, Xu Zhen wondered in his heart, should he go to the night market with a dream, buy her a few decent new clothes, and buy some gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache and other things, so that the little daughter-in-law is happy?

When he returned to the door of his house, he saw two carriages parked at the door, and a man dressed as a servant was unloading things from the cart and moving into his house.

Before Xu Zhen could understand what was going on, he heard a dream voice from the courtyard:

"You ...... Don't you do this, my lord hasn't come back yet, you have to wait for him to come back, he doesn't agree, where do I dare to accept it......"

"Ahem!" At this time, a familiar voice came from the courtyard, "What is there to agree or disagree?" Xu Zhutou is my father's righteous brother, the eldest brother buys things for the righteous brother, it is righteous, Mrs. Xu, you can take it......"

Wow, wouldn't it?

In just two sentences, Xu Zhen already understood something, and hurriedly rushed into the courtyard.

Sure enough, I saw that Wei Yulang's housekeeper Lao Liu was directing the servants to place the items, which included silk and satin, rouge gouache, daily necessities, chicken, duck and fish, as if they had been married and had a dowry......

"Master, you're back!" Youmeng saw Xu Zhen, and hurriedly ran to him to "complain", "I don't let them move, they want to move, I didn't say to accept it, you can tell them quickly!" ”

"Really," hearing Youmeng's "complaint", Xu Zhen suddenly "became furious" and shouted at the housekeeper, "Lao Liu, you are so disrespectful, how can you send so many things?" My relationship with my eldest brother is iron, but how can our pure brotherhood be replaced by material? ”

"Xu Zhutou, this is Master Wei congratulating you on your promotion," Lao Liu quickly explained, "It's just a little respect, well......"

Before Lao Liu finished speaking, he saw Xu Zhen raise his hand to signal.

"Lao Liu, I mean, don't just give gifts!" Xu Zhen said seriously, "Look at it, many parts of my house are dilapidated and collapsed, and they need to be repaired urgently;

"And my yard is overgrown with weeds, and we really can't clean it after being abandoned for many years;

"Of course, you see that my little daughter-in-law works hard every day, and there is no maid at home to serve, and she has to wash vegetables and cook, you say...... The relationship between me and my eldest brother can't be replaced by material things alone? ”

"People, people! Understood," Lao Liu had a strong comprehension ability, and immediately said happily, "Don't worry, people are even more trivial, the best maid and servant cook, mother, will be ...... in the afternoon."
