Mrs. Zhao twisted her waist lightly, waving the round fan, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Naturally, I won't be so stupid as to think that after donating the [-] guan, the Sheriff's Mansion will remember the money after the county guard's mansion tides over the difficulties." I have been in love all my life. But the servants in the county guard's mansion often come to the gambling house to play, and it is by no means a lie. Mr. Wang can keep my mouth shut about this matter, but he can't stop the people who come to the gambling house every day The mouths of these gamblers."

Chen Chaoyan glanced at Wang Da, then turned to ask Mrs. Zhao, "Zhou Zhongcai often comes to the casino?"

"Master Zhou will come two or three times a month," Mrs. Zhao looked at Wang Da's cold face provocatively, and said calmly, "But the other poor men in the county guard's mansion will come every now and then. Come here. Especially Ma Xiaoye, the capable general in Master Wang's hands, will come here almost every day."

Ma Huai?

After Chen Chaoyan glanced at Wang Da again, she turned her head and said with a half-smile, "Two or three times a month... shopkeeper Zhao said just now that he can't remember trivial things."

"I can't remember the trivial things, but what if it's not the trivial things?" Mrs. Zhao answered after asking, "For example, every time he comes, he will bring a penny or two; Nine times out of ten bets, the gamblers in the gambling workshop are looking forward to his arrival the most. It's hard for me not to remember even if I keep talking about it."

Chen Chaoyan tentatively said, "That is to say, Zhou Zhongcai and Shi Zhi knew each other?"

"I don't know if I know you or not." Seeing that the corridor was about to come to an end, Mrs. Zhao stopped and said slowly, "Just listen to what the steward said, Mr. Zhou only bets big and small. Every time he comes, money Half of them lost to Shi Zhi."

After a pause, she finally persuaded: "Out of the corridor, walk up for a while, and you will find the place full of filth."

"If Miss Chen is willing to listen to my advice, then don't go."

"A wealthy family values ​​face the most. The king of Jin has a big heart, so he doesn't mind Miss Chen going in and out of these humble places, but people's words are scary, and Miss Chen had better be careful. Such overwhelming wealth is not for everyone. If you can meet, miss Chen, it's better not to miss it. Otherwise, it will not be easy to meet again in the future."

At this point, she looked at Wang Da again, "Master Wang's ability to solve cases is also one of the best, but it's just to see how Shi Zhi drowned. I don't need Ms. Chen to go, she is competent enough."

The cold look on Wang Da's face hadn't had time to calm down. Hearing what she said, he snorted coldly, "It's not up to Shopkeeper Zhao to point fingers at Miss Chen's affairs!"

Chen Chaoyan followed suit and said, "A man's words are limited to a wise man. I appreciate Shopkeeper Zhao's kindness."

Seeing her determination, Mrs. Zhao shook her head and sighed, "I'm someone who has experienced it. If Miss Chen doesn't listen to my advice, she will suffer a loss sooner or later."

Chen Chaoyan smiled, glanced at Wang Da indicatively, and left.

After leaving the corridor, we walked up for a while.

Everyone came to the toilet where Shi Zhi was drowned.

Looking at the forty-square-meter latrine, Chen Chaoyan touched his nose covered with a handkerchief, and praised Ruolan, "You still have the foresight."

Ruolan said dryly, "I came here once with the young master last night."

Chen Chaoyan said sincerely, "I sympathize with you."

Ruolan looked at her.

Chen Chaoyan said: "I will try my best...to be as fast as possible, so that you will suffer less."

Overheard by Wang Da, he interjected, "This latrine wasn't that big at first, it's just a little bit bigger than normal latrines, for the convenience of those who come to gamble. The hunchback, which sells dung for a living, came to collect it. As the business of the gambling house got better and better, the hunchback would come to collect it three or four times a day. As time passed, the shopkeeper Zhao quit. The latrine is like this, It gets bigger and bigger. The hunchback still collects the excrement, but every three to five days, and pays the shopkeeper Zhao according to the market price."

Chen Chaoyan asked: "Has anyone fallen into or drowned before?"

"A lot of people fell into it, every now and then. Those who drowned, after all these years, including Shi Zhi, there were only four. Those who drowned, as Shopkeeper Zhao said, lost money and were sent away. Those who fell... ..." Without waiting for Chen Chaoyan to continue asking, Wang Da pointed sideways to the rear right, "Hey, over there, that's the tailor shop and bathhouse opened by Shopkeeper Zhao."

Chen Chaoyan couldn't comment on Mrs. Zhao's behavior of treating human life like nothing.But I admire her ability to do business.Looking at the latrine, Chen Chaoyan was extremely reluctant after taking two deep breaths, but she had no choice but to let Yuejian push her in.

The [-]-square-meter latrine is just a huge pothole. The potholes are spaced at six-inch intervals, and a dozen thigh-thick tree trunks are suspended in the air.The trunks are not even peeled, and they are placed in such an original way.When going to the toilet, I just step on two tree trunks, and those who are more courageous walk in, and those who are less courageous are on the edge.

Chen Chaoyan couldn't bear the impact of the stench and the yellow and white stuff in the pit, so he took a few quick glances, and after making sure that the light screen was recorded, he quickly backed out.

He left Jishanfang all the way, got into the carriage, and ate a Baihuawan given by Yuejian, only then did he suppress the stench.

Amidst Lady Zhao's charming voice of "Ms. Chen is free, come and walk more", Chen Chaoyan slowly recovered after she got a little farther away from Jishanfang.Seeing this, Yuejian made tea for her and asked curiously, "Hasn't Ms. Chen solved such a case before?"

"Broken." Chen Chaoyan didn't want to say more.

After Yuejian made the tea and handed her a cup, she didn't see her intentions and asked: "Then how did Miss Chen overcome this situation before?"

She brewed scented tea.

Chen Chaoyan's heartbeat gradually calmed down as the thick scented mist curled around her nose, "There is a mask with anti-virus and anti-odor, which is similar to the brocade handkerchief when covering the nose."

Yue Jian said casually: "Flower dew can prevent poison and odor, and it can also calm the mind. Wrap the dew in a brocade handkerchief, and then sew it up, is it almost like a mask?"

As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle with a big thumb from his bosom, dipped a little on his fingertips, and tapped it on the tip of her nose.

Feeling the coolness that soaked into her mind instantly, Chen Chaoyan looked down at the crystal point on the tip of her nose, and said, "It's about the same."

Almost like balm.

It's just more refreshing than Fengyoujing, and it has a pleasant fragrance.

Yue Jian said with satisfaction: "Then I'll sew some masks for you when I go back."

Chen Chaoyan nodded, "I'll draw the mask pattern for you later."

See you soon.

The carriage moved slowly, and soon entered the busy city.

The hustle and bustle of people, accompanied by the summer heat wave, rushed into the carriage in an instant.

Chen Chaoyan heard that half of the people were talking about her, half were talking about Zhou Zhongcai's case, and only two or three people were talking about Shi Zhi's drowning in the toilet of Jishanfang.

Chen Chaoyan followed his voice and looked at those who were talking about Shi Zhi.It was found that when they were discussing, they did not hide from others.But when others heard it, at most they said the sentence "every day people fall into the toilet, and it is a matter of time before they are drowned", and they stopped talking.

The ordinary people know that something will happen sooner or later, but Mrs. Zhao is determined to make money, ignoring this hidden danger... Chen Chaoyan tilted her head slightly, and was about to ask Wang Da, what kind of difficulties did Mrs. Zhao overcome by donating [-] yuan to the county guard's mansion , and saw Wang Da let Lingyou go first, and he rode his horse towards the nearby medicine shop.
