Chapter 16: The Two Together

By the time I finished reading the confession, it was past noon. An Ying felt empty in his stomach, and he was embarrassed to interrupt Master Su, who was still looking around, so he had to endure it silently, thinking in his heart that he would buy a Hu Biscuit on the street corner when he went out.

Su Huangzhe smiled when he heard this, and An Ying felt really embarrassed at this time, so he said: "Master Su is smiling, I am really hungry." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Yi said, "My subordinates just asked someone to buy some food, and I'll send it in a while." ”

Coincidentally, the food that Xiao Yi brought in was the Hu cake at the corner of the street. An Ying suddenly came to his senses, "Is this the Hu cake of the house at the corner of the street?" Brother Xiao Yi is really good at buying, and the Hu cakes in this house are delicious. The dough is made soft, especially their green onions are skillfully used, and the mouth is full of green onions. ”

Su Huangzhe smiled and picked up a cake and took a bite, "Miss An is quite concerned about eating." I ate the ravioli in the morning, and the filling was well adjusted. I had pork, shrimp, and a little chopped green onion. ”

Seeing that Master Su had already eaten, An Ying unceremoniously nibbled on the Hu Cake, and took a bite, it was too satisfying, but it was a pity that there was less to drink, An Ying thought, but he didn't dare to make a request, so he ate it in small bites, because he was afraid of choking.

Xiao Yi brought two bowls of soup, put them on the table and said, "My subordinates also bought soup, just eat this cake, otherwise I will choke and panic." ”

An Ying took a big sip, and then sighed and said, "This is the clove soup on the fragrant soup stall of the princess in the corner." It's delicious, it's delicious, but the clove flavor takes away the onion fragrance of this cake is not very good. ”

Xiao Yi's eyes widened, and he had a ghostly expression. An Ying immediately felt that something was wrong, he somehow relaxed in front of this Lord Su, and involuntarily said what he thought in his heart, and immediately smiled and wanted to bring the words back: "Brother Xiaoyi, look at me talking nonsense." Thank you for the food. ”

"Don't be nervous." Master Su drank the soup and said, "Xiao Yi is like that because he bought similar things a few days ago, and I said similar things. ”

Xiao Yi immediately nodded and said, "Miss An, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else." On the road that day, I also bought similar Hu cakes and clove soup, and Master Su said the same thing to you. ”

An Ying relaxed at this time, and said with a smile: "It seems that Master Su has the same taste as me." ”

"Tell me about it, Xiao Yi, you can listen to it too." Su Huang Zhe finished eating and drinking slowly, and leaned back in his chair.

An Ying immediately got up and was about to salute and prepare to reply, when he heard the slow voice of Master Su coming from above his head: "You little girl don't need to be so restrained, she was very relaxed when she was hungry just now, and she will be here again to be respectful." ”

An Ying didn't know how to deal with it at all, and he didn't know what to do with his hand in the air, but Xiao Yi pushed a chair and said, "Miss An, you just sit and talk." We adults are easy-going, and we don't need so many courtesies. ”

An Ying had to sit in the chair and said, "Just now we saw Luo's makeup, and the valuable jewelry in it is all there, and I heard that Brother Xiao Yi said that Luo Yi packed up his baggage and returned to his parents' house, I felt strange." For a merchant like Mr. Zheng's family, the valuable things that the eldest lady can take away are not only silver, silver tickets and jewelry, but when I looked at the things in Luo's baggage, except for two silver tickets of one hundred taels, the rest were bits and pieces of worthless things. You said that if your mother is really sick, you should also bring some valuable medicinal herbs, what are these things? Rouge, grate, mirror, and a set of clothes, the texture of the clothes is average, it seems that this style belongs to an unmarried girl, not like a married woman like Roche wears. The strangest thing was that there were some jewelry, which were all worthless, such as small beads, silver hairpins, and the gold-inlaid ruby bracelet in her bedroom, which were more expensive than this burden. You said that she really didn't know the news, but she just went back to her parents' house to see her mother, and she shouldn't have brought some with her. ”

Xiao Yi thought so, and said: "I feel that something is wrong, what kind of tricks is this woman playing?" Ermao said that this woman insisted that she was going to see her mother, and she didn't know anything about Zheng Ping. After hearing about Zheng Ping, he fainted from crying. ”

"So what the hell is she doing with all this stuff? What the hell is she hiding? ”

An Ying picked up the stack of confessions and said, "I didn't know why at first, but I have to look at it in conjunction with the confessions." ”

Xiao Yi scratched his head and said: "I know that confession is very important, and Master Su also attaches importance to this in handling cases, so I recorded all the confessions carefully." But it's all chicken and dog bits and pieces, let alone watching it again, I fell asleep listening to it. With such a thick confession book, Miss An has read it all? ”

An Ying opened a thick confession book, and said as she flipped through it: "I've been reading things quickly since I was a child, and I'm used to reading account books and things at home." ”

"On the first day of the fifth month, that is, the day before the tea ceremony. The cow shopkeeper installed the mold in the warehouse of the workshop, and after finishing the work, it was about a moment of time, and as usual, the cow shopkeeper locked the doors and windows and went home. The lock was opened early the next morning, and nothing special happened, so the box was loaded into the carriage. You see that the confession of the cow shopkeeper and the helper in the store confirms this. ”

Xiao Yi said: "It may also be that the cattle shopkeeper himself pretended to be wrong and deliberately said so." ”

An Ying nodded and said: "This is a possibility, when we push the case, we will list all kinds of possibilities, so it is impossible in the more likely." As I said earlier, there must be a motive for committing crimes. First, whether it is the cattle shopkeeper or Master Zheng, they are all generations of the family who have made a living from industrial tea, and there is no motive for them to give up their family business to do this, if it is to attack other tea households, such a means is not like commercial competition but a struggle in officialdom. Second, from the point of view of convenience, the shopkeeper Niu and Master Zheng are both people who bought back the mold from Mindi, and they can directly poison the mold, and they can't make a show of taking it out and putting it back, which is completely meaningless. So there is no need for Shopkeeper Niu and Master Zheng to lie about this matter. ”

"Xiao Yi, then think about it now, what is the key to this problem?" Su Huangzhe asked

Xiao Yi scratched his head worriedly, "Miss An just started, and she didn't say anything below, how do I know?" ”

"You think that if it weren't for He Zhizhou's order to use a new mold for the tea shop conference, this poisonous mold would not have been able to enter the tea households smoothly. In this matter, He Zhizhou must be one of the key people. An Ying looked at Su Huangzhe and said, "So Master Su focused on He Zhizhou from the beginning. ”

Su Huangzhe nodded and said, "The moment I received the case, I asked people to go to Huzhou to take care of He Zhizhou first." ”
