Xie Nanxiao continued, "Not long ago, Wu Xiang pretended to be sick because she didn't want Shopkeeper Su to drive her away. According to her, someone reached out to her and taught her to poison the well, so that when the time came, she would ruin the reputation of the cyclamen. It's just that Wu Xiang didn't dare to use poison, so he only prepared croton powder. ”

"Originally, everything was planned, but Wu Xiang's maidservant Ruilan was unwilling to do it. Ruilan also told you about this that day. ”

"What does Master Xie mean, Wu Xiang has already joined forces with outsiders?" Su Liuye frowned, a little unsure of what he meant.

"Yes."

Xie Nanxiao brought another confession, "Shopkeeper Su, you can take a look here." According to the testimony of Wu Xiang and Ruilan, I deduced that Wu Xiang was just one of the chess pieces, and the mastermind behind the scenes had been sending people to keep an eye on Wu Xiang. This trick is the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. ”

took the confession, which clearly recorded the testimony of Wu Xiang and Ruilan.

Su Liuye looked at them separately, and soon things were sorted out.

Her expression was cold, she really thought that Wu Xiang had such a deep grudge against her, and she did not hesitate to cooperate with outsiders and poison her.

"Master Xie, where is Wu Xiang now?" She asked.

Xie Nanxiao didn't hide it, "In the dungeon." According to the law, Wu Xiang was sentenced for malicious poisoning, and although she used croton powder, she intended to poison her. Because Ruilan only obeyed the orders of his master, he finally stopped the precipice, and only needed to be locked up in prison for a few days. If Shopkeeper Su wants to see Wu Xiang, then come back in a few days, I have to come back to judge these days, at this time, it is not convenient to meet with the prisoner before the verdict. ”

After listening to Xie Nanxiao's words, Su Liuye's face was still not very good-looking, and she asked, "What about Shaolan?" ”

Ruilan and Shaolan are all slaves and maids by Wu Xiang's side, she doesn't believe that Shaolan doesn't know anything.

"Shaolan knows a little more than Ruilan." Xie Nanxiao took another confession, "Look at it, this is Shaolan's confession." Shaolan has been in charge of Wu Xiang's meeting with the person behind the scenes, but Shaolan said that every time that person looks for Wu Xiang, she is in disguise, and she doesn't know who the other party is. ”

Su Liuye took it and checked, Shaolan's testimony was indeed more detailed than Ruilan's, but she only said that when Wu Xiang was pretending to be sick, she went to the medicine hall many times to find a doctor, and a man who called himself Wu Laosan took the initiative to find her, and said that he could drive Su Liuye out of Qingzhou County, and let Shaolan tell Wu Xiang what he said.

After Wu Xiang heard this, she agreed to cooperate almost without hesitation.

Originally, Wu Laosan also gave Wu Xiang a pack of broken intestine grass, and Wu Xiang retreated when she heard that it was highly poisonous, but she couldn't see Su Liuye's scenery, and thought that the reason why Qin Lian targeted her was all because of Su Liuye's instructions, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she asked Ruilan to go to the medicine hall to buy croton.

But Ruilan was timid, and knew that such a thing would break the law, so he didn't dare to pour croton powder into the well. The people behind the scenes have been watching nearby, and seeing that Ruilan didn't do it for a long time, he took it personally.

"Master Xie, Ruilan said that the person she saw that night was a woman, who is this Wu Laosan?" Su Liuye frowned.

"Yes, Wu Laosan and the others should be in a group." Master Xie said, "Shopkeeper Su, don't worry, the yamen will deal with this matter as soon as possible, and return the cyclamen to a clear name, you go back and wait for news first." ”

"Okay, I'm tired of Master Xie."

Hearing this, Su Liuye also knew that it was impossible to see Wu Xiang today.

She left with Qin Lian.

On the way back, the two deliberately walked around the street, wanting to see what other places are suitable for opening restaurants nearby, and Luoxi Town next to it is a good choice.

Su Liuye bought a map and a few small snacks on the street and took them to Yingxian Pavilion.

Liu Sheng was taking Dabao and Erbao to read and write in the backyard, and when he saw Su Liuye coming, the children immediately ran over with joyful faces.

"Mother, Aunt Lianlian, you are here!"

Erbao pounced on her, and a pair of big watery eyes were full of joy, "Mother, I learned to recite poetry today, and Uncle Liu Sheng praised me for being amazing!" ”

"I will too!"

Dabao was afraid of being ignored, so he immediately shouted.

"You're so good." Su Liuye said with a smile, "Then you can learn from Uncle Liu Sheng for a while, my mother and Aunt Lianlian still have something to do." As she spoke, she handed over the small snacks she bought to Liu Sheng, and if Dabao and Erbao performed well, she could reward them.

Su Liuye took Qin Lian to the side and opened the map she had just bought.

The place where they are located is just one of the towns in Cheongju County, and the town of Luoxi next door is the most prosperous town in the area.

Luoxi Town is next to the Luoxi River, and water transportation is developed, and a fleet of boats arrives at the shore every month. The Luoxi River is one of the branches of the Lingjiang River, which spans most of the Xia Kingdom and is the main commercial transportation route, from where you can get on a boat from Luoxi Town and reach the capital in two months.

If they can open a store in Luoxi Town, the business will only be better than here, and Luoxi Town is prosperous, unlike here, there are only a few restaurants that come and go, if it is an exclusive, it is easy to attract the resentment of others.

Su Liuye drew a stroke in Luoxi Town, "Lianlian, look, how about we go here?" It may take two days by horse-drawn carriage, but if you can find the right shop, you can live in the backyard like a cyclamen, and you won't have to spend time going back and forth. ”

"It's good, indeed."

Qin Lian didn't understand much of this, so she heard it next to her. Hearing that she could live in Luoxi Town, she was obviously more famous.

Luoxi Town is special to the families of the girls who grew up in the village.

The parents of the girls in Qinghe Village were sold by their parents when they reached a certain age and became someone else's mother, and they could only stay in the village for the rest of their lives.

They can only hear the word "Luoxi Town" from men, although they know that it is prosperous, but they have never had the opportunity to see it with their own eyes.

Now that she heard that she could go to Luoxi Town, Qin Lian was naturally excited.

Su Liuye also understood what she was thinking, and immediately smiled and chose the location of the store in Luoxi Town.

It happened that Liu Sheng asked the two children to rest, and when he heard that they were going to Luoxi Town, Liu Sheng immediately said, "Shopkeeper, can I go with you?" I happen to have relatives in the town of Luoxi. ”

"You're going with you, too?"

Su Liuye frowned, it is naturally easy to do things with acquaintances over there, but ......, "If you go with us, no one will see the cyclamen." ”

Cyclamen was the first store she opened, and she didn't want to close it so easily.

Although the reputation of cyclamen is completely ruined because of the poisoning, it is still able to make some pastries and sell them in limited quantities every day.
