Chapter 45: Catching the Poisoner

"The village chief has a son, you should know, right?"

The sudden light made Wang Dahu subconsciously squint, opened his eyes, pursed his chapped lips, and before he could celebrate seeing the daylight again, he heard the demon whisper.

This man really didn't give him anything to eat! If he hadn't eaten well and grown a lot of fat, he would have starved to death right now!

"Didn't you hear? Then I'm leaving. ”

Hearing the voice, Wang Dahu turned his head to look at Gu Jiu, but he didn't speak, and looked at the person in front of him with no light in his eyes. Hunger and lack of water had already caused him to feel a strong sense of dizziness, and it was impossible to think about it carefully.

"Who put the death cap?"

"Wang Dahu, I'm giving you a chance now, the village chief's baby son was poisoned, and now he is unconscious and needs money urgently, if you can solve this matter, I will let you go."

Hearing this, Wang Dahu's eyes lit up a lot.

"Really?"

The voice was hoarse and unbearable, and it was really ugly.

"You have no other choice, your only chance to survive is to believe in me!"

Hearing this, Wang Dahu stared at Gu Jiu without blinking, and in a dry breath, he slowly said the name of the Wang family.

"How do you prove it's her? There is no evidence for empty words, even if we make trouble with the yamen, the other party will not admit it. ”

"Me."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his lips: "You want to say that you can be a witness?" ”

Wang Dahu nodded, and there was an extremely obvious expectation in his eyes.

Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and directly dragged him up from the ground: "But why should I believe you?" You know you don't have much credit with me. ”

Wang Dahu looked at Gu Jiu unresponsively, and subconsciously blinked his eyes and swallowed his saliva when he saw the sweet potato in the other party's hand.

"That death cap was obtained by sister-in-law Gua I don't know where it came from, and she may still have it there right now."

"Will she keep the swag?"

Wang Dahu stared at the sweet potato and nodded: "I overheard the two of them talking, saying that they wanted to avenge her son, now that you are all fine, she will definitely not give up!" I just overheard their conversation and wanted to come over and pick up some money. I know it's all shocked! This...... Let's eat this! ”

"No, the information is not enough."

Gu Jiu let go of the person, broke the sweet potato into two, and ate it himself, and the crisp crunching sound caused Wang Dahu's throat to roll back and forth.

"Auntie and grandma are here, how can I know so much if I am not involved in this matter? Or, or else, maybe they won't be able to do it once, maybe they'll come a second time, why don't you all pretend to go out and try it? ”

After a long pause, he threw the other half of the sweet potato down with his backhand. That's a good idea.

So in the afternoon of the same day, the village chief found a reason to gather the people.

"Folks, let's talk about the job that Xiao Jiu recommended to us this time, let's ......"

The village chief was talking endlessly, Gu Zhiqi replied impassionedly, and Gu Jiu quietly paid attention to Wang's direction. About thirty minutes later, Wang suddenly exchanged places with several people, and a puff of smoke disappeared.

Gu Jiu hurriedly gave the village chief a look.

"Zheqi, the village chief you said also knows it. But if there is no silver, the dolls are malnourished, and what is the use of just accompanying them? Besides, I don't know how much easier it is for Xiao Jiu to control that method? You see, Grandma Bu is so old and earns the same money as everyone else. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Grandma Bu. Seeing this, Grandma Bu immediately nodded vigorously, she made so many mistakes, next time she will have a chance to make money, but she has to help others publicize it!

"I'm so old, my eyes are not good, I have done it, you all have such good eyes, there is no problem with the designation! It'll be done in a moment! ”

"Yes, yes, it's time for the people of Gujia Village to get rich together!" The rest of the people who got the copper coins helped to speak. Originally, the rest of the people were red when they saw others making money, and their hearts were itching and panicking now.

"If you don't believe me, you can go back with me and I'll show you again." Looking at the shaken crowd, Gu Jiu continued.

"Go and go, see and don't suffer!"

Aunt Xia said as she pulled everyone home.

"Let's go, I've steamed the nest and mixed it with vegetables, it's very fragrant! I'll give you a taste! ”

Hearing Aunt Xia's words, everyone who was still hesitant also followed half-push and half-on-the-spot, after all, who would not take advantage of the cheap pick-up!

"Gu Jiu, do you know what you're doing? The children of Gujia Village are about to lose their future because of you! ”

Gu Zhiqi walked to Gu Jiu's side, and his tone was full of reproach.

Gu Jiu looked back at him with some amusement: "Gu Zheqi, there is such a sentence in the ancient book: Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette. Although I have not taken the Tongsheng and Xiucai exams, I also know that if a person does not have enough to eat, if he is extremely lacking in spirit, he will not be able to concentrate on one thing! ”

"Huh! Gu Jiu, do you want to listen to what you're talking about? You, a man who has not read a book and can't even write his own name, are talking to me about knowledge? ”

Listening to Gu Zhiqi's laughter, Gu Jiu was too lazy to say anything, every time she could repeatedly experience a truth in Gu Zhiqi: Don't argue with fools!

"Why don't you speak? Weak heart? Gu Jiu, if your words really existed, it would be impossible for me to read the book for so many years and not even hear it! Gu Zhiqi took two quick steps, stood in front of Gu Jiu and blocked the way: "Gu Jiu, apologize!" ”

"What?"

"Who allowed you to bluff people by fabricating non-existent words?"

Looking at Gu Zhiqi's self-righteous and high-minded appearance, Gu Jiu sneered: "Gu Zhiqi, you don't know yet, Gu Jing, my younger brother was admitted to this year's Tongsheng and is only seven years old!" What about you? Nineteen-year-old genius. ”

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, the people in the village immediately exploded.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jing was really admitted to Tongsheng? I thought it was a duplicate name! ”

"This little Jing is really a reading material! At the age of seven, you can be born as a middle school, this is the first case in our Gujia Village! ”

"Xiao Jiu, tell everyone how Xiao Jing learned?"

Looking at Gu Zhiqi's increasingly cold face, Gu Jiu smiled and followed the villagers around him to "rub" shoulders with him.

The Wang family was about to leave after putting things away, but he didn't expect Gu Cheng to suddenly jump out, and he just walked back and forth in the courtyard without coming in.

The Wang family knew that Gu Cheng, the only seedling of the village chief's family, had been in poor health since he was a child, and he couldn't blow the wind, so even if he came out, he would only breathe a little.

So the Wang family was not in a hurry to leave immediately, thinking that it wouldn't take long for Gu Cheng to enter the house, and when the people entered, it would not be too late for her to leave.

But what I didn't expect was that after a while, I didn't wait for Gu Cheng to enter the house, but heard the faint sound of broken footsteps outside.

Is the village chief done talking? Didn't you have to talk for two hours at times like this? How can it be so fast this time?

As soon as Wang wanted to rush out, he saw Gu Jiu enter the door, and quickly shrank back again, looking for a place to hide.

Gu Jiu and Gu Cheng glanced at each other, and immediately understood the message that the other party wanted to convey.

"The things are in the main house, come and help me take the things out in one go, I'll show you outside, the house is too small to fit so many of us."

Entering the house, Gu Jiu glanced at the extra plaster of ash in the corner of the wall, walked over quietly, grabbed the other party's gray coat with a slight hook at the corner of his mouth, and pulled it hard.

"There are thieves!"

Thief?

Since Gujiacun had been stolen twice by Peach Blossom Village before, he is now particularly sensitive to words like thief and thief. As soon as Gu Jiu's words fell, several people rushed in from outside, just in front of the Wang clan who ran away from Gu Jiu covering his face and running away.

"Catch her!"

The courtyard was almost full of people, and the Wang family couldn't escape at all.

"This, this is ...... Fold his mother? Looking at Wang's face, someone shouted out in disbelief.

"What are you doing sneakily at our house?" Aunt Xia took the lead in asking, turned her head to look at Gu Jiu and Gu Chengdao, "Cheng'er, Xiao Jiu, you two hurry up and see if there is anything missing?" ”

Feeling the accusatory and disgusted eyes of the surrounding villagers, Wang's face immediately turned red, since she gave birth to Gu Zhiqi, she had suffered this kind of grievance!

"Aunt Xia, what are you yelling at? I, I just suddenly looked for something with you, who came to steal your things? Wang stood up and retorted confidently, anyway, she didn't steal anything in the first place, and even if she checked, she wouldn't find anything on her at all!

As long as she bites to death, these people can't do anything!

Gu Jiu and Gu Cheng rummaged through it for a while, and finally found the crushed death cap in the multigrain noodles.

"Auntie, what is this?"

Gu Jiu asked, pointing to a little white in the yellow on his hand.

Wang froze, and immediately turned his head: "How do I know what it is?" Isn't it normal to have something on multigrain noodles? ”

"It's a crushed death cap, and the ones I have in my hand are enough to kill!"

After Gu Jiu showed the one in his hand to everyone, he continued in the shocked and suspicious eyes of everyone: "The village chief's family was poisoned once four days ago, and every time she went out since then, Aunt Xia would carefully sort things. Auntie, you think it's a bag of multigrain noodles, but you don't know that Aunt Xia picked out a night and only left yellow grains in it, and there is no white substance at all! ”

Hearing this, not only the Wang family, but also the villagers were stunned and poisoned?

"The human and material evidence is here, auntie, come with us to the yamen!"

"Xiao Jiu is right, our Gujia Village can't accommodate people like you! It's still early, fold his mother, come with us! The village chief said with a cold face.

"How can you prove that this white thing is poisonous?"

Wang shook everyone off, pointed at Gu Jiu and asked.

"Then you can eat it for us! If you dare to eat them all, then there is no problem! We blamed you for it, and I apologize to you. ”

Gu Jiu stretched out his hand in front of Wang as he spoke, looking at something that was only three centimeters away from her, Wang's face turned pale with fright. She hadn't forgotten what her mother had said before, that a small bit of this thing could kill people!

Her son has just been admitted to Xiucai, she will be able to live a good life soon, how can she die now?

"Eat, fold her mother, if you say that you are wronged, you will prove it to everyone!" The villagers on the side who got the copper coins from Gu Jiu echoed.

"Why?" Wang took two steps back and stayed away from Gu Jiu, for fear that Gu Jiu would suddenly have convulsions and stuff this thing in her mouth.

"My son was admitted to Xiucai, I want to live a good life in the future, why do you want to poison them, this is clearly framing me!"

"Because of your brother. The first time the village chief's family was poisoned was the day your mother brought your brother's coffin to Gujia Village to make trouble! ”

Gu Jiu's voice calmly awakened everyone's memory. For a while, everyone's eyes looking at the Wang family completely changed, if there was still suspicion just now, then now their eyes are full of certainty.

Just when the Wang family was at a loss, I don't know who suddenly said: "Gu Zheqi is here." ”

Hearing Gu Zhiqi, Wang seemed to have confidence suddenly, his waist was straight, and those who didn't know thought she was the victim.
