Song female man

Liang Sanlang's mouth moved, but he didn't say what he said after all. He couldn't help saying that just now because he was still a little worried that Xie Erniang would be sad after Xi Erlang was punished.What he hates is Xi Erlang, and he hopes that the unlucky people are Xi Erlang, excluding Xie Erniang.

However, when Xie Erniang asked him what he said in a bad tone, he remembered what the second sister said, and remembered that Xie Erniang was already engaged to Xi Erlang, and she naturally wanted to protect Xi Erlang, so he was a little angry that Xie Erniang grew up in vain With such beautiful eyes, he chose Kijiro who was much worse than himself, so he stopped talking.

Xie Erniang saw that Liang Sanlang refused to explain the four words "good for myself", she gouged him out again, then turned and left.

When the two were talking, Liang Erniang happened to come to look for her younger brother and overheard the conversation between the two of them. Now she was even more suspicious that her younger brother had done something bad because she was jealous of Xi Erlang's engagement with Xie Erniang, because she had just checked the accounts. It was found that five pennies were missing.

Wuguan money is not too much for Liang Erniang who runs a tofu workshop, but it is not too little, it is worth half a month's income of her tofu workshop.

In the family, besides the old mother, the younger brother is the younger brother. My own old mother, Liang Erniang, has no doubts. Only this younger brother has been stimulated recently, and often runs out to drink, and comes back drunk for a while after drinking.

Therefore, Liang Erniang suspected that her younger brother took the five pennies to go drinking and squandering, but she did not believe that she could drink five pennies just by going to the small foot shop. She knows that you can get drunk for a few tens of pennies.

My younger brother went out to drink only five or six times in the past month or so, and it was calculated as one hundred cash each time, and it was only five or six hundred cash, so there is no need for five strings.

Liang Erniang suspected that her younger brother used the five pennies to do other things, and could spend five pennies in a month. What Liang Erniang thought was either gambling or whoring, and she absolutely could not allow her brother to do these two things.

Before hearing what her younger brother and Xie Erniang said, she was so skeptical, but after she heard the conversation between the two, she suspected that what did her younger brother do with the five pennies, which was not good for Xie Erniang, otherwise he There is no such thing as "good for yourself".

Thinking of this, Liang Erniang became worried, so after Xie Erniang turned and left, she immediately called her younger brother Liang Sanlang into the room, and first asked him if he took the five coins missing from the cash drawer in the shop.

Liang Sanlang knew that his elder sister would definitely find out if there was five pennies missing in the cash drawer in the shop, so when his elder sister asked about it, he honestly said that he took it by himself.

Liang Erniang asked him what he did with the money, and she hoped he would tell the truth.

Liang Sanlang lazily replied: "I ate, I drank, I feel annoyed recently, I often go out to drink..."

Liang Erniang said angrily: "You nonsense! You only went out to drink a few times, and you can drink five pennies. Tell me honestly, are you using it for something that is not good for Xie Erniang?"

After hearing what his sister said, Liang Sanlang realized that his sister had overheard his conversation with Xie Erniang just now, so he immediately said that his sister was thinking too much, and it was too late for him to like Xie Erniang, how could he harm her?

But Erniang Liang didn't believe it, she thought that what brother Cai said softly to Erniang Xie just now was full of warning.

"Sanlang, I have to tell you clearly. Don't be confused and do something illegal. If someone is found out by then, our Liang's tofu workshop will have to close. Our family lives in Yangliu Town. I can’t stay any longer. You also know how hard it is for us to come to Yangliu Town and set up a family here to do business. If that day comes, will you be worthy of my second sister, my old lady, and Xiu’er?”

"..."

Not to mention, after hearing the call from the second sister, Liang Sanlang was also a little scared. He felt that Zhao Sanlang's idea before seemed not so perfect, and there were loopholes.In particular, he asked Zhao Sanlang to write a receipt. If this receipt was discovered, it would be confirmed that he had paid for Kijiro to be punished.Moreover, Zhao Sanlang really didn't do anything after receiving the money, and he couldn't use this to urge people to pay back the money, because if the matter was leaked out, he would confront the Xi family, the Xie family, and even the Lu family.As an immigrant family who came here not long ago, the Liang family cannot offend the local residents, while the Xie family and the Lu family are upper-class households and the other is a middle-class household. If you offend them, the Liang family will struggle in Yangliu Town and cannot stay go down.

Now he regretted a little that he lost his mind after drinking, and believed Zhao Sanlang's words, and gave him five pennies to go to work.

Liang Erniang saw that her younger brother was questioned by her, and she couldn't speak, so she was even more sure that her younger brother took five pennies to do bad things, so she didn't want to get angry, so she raised her hand and beat him on the back twice, making him feel angry. He honestly explained what he had done.

Faced with his sister's questioning, Liang Sanlang thought for a while and insisted that he just took it to eat and drink. He thought that even if he really told his sister, she would have no effect other than scolding him, so it's better not to tell her.Because yesterday he went to have a drink with Zhao Sanlang, Zhao Sanlang told him that someone else was already making arrangements, at most it will be half a month, and Xierlang will be in trouble.If this matter really leaked in the future, he decided to leave home, leave his second sister and old mother, so that they would not be implicated by what he did.But if this matter is successful and it is not leaked out, Xierlang is unlucky, Xie Yi and his wife may withdraw their marriage, and he will have a chance to get Xie Erniang.

For the sake of Xie Erniang, he felt that the risk was worth taking.

Liang Erniang was also secretly worried when she saw that her younger brother could not be questioned. She considered whether to remind the Xi family and the Xie family. She hesitated. These two families?

Xie Erniang returned home and handed the tofu to her mother. She always felt that Liang Sanlang's words "good for oneself" had something in it, as if something bad was about to happen.Could it be that Liang Sanlang wanted to harm himself or the Xie family?Xie Erniang thought about it, and thought it was unlikely, after all, Liang Sanlang was still trying to please his parents, and when he saw him, his attitude towards him was similar to before.If he really has such intentions, Xie Erniang thinks that he is too powerful, he can be called a smiling tiger.

If this smiling tiger really wanted to deal with himself and the Xie family, what method would he use?

After thinking about it, Xie Erniang saw the two pieces of tofu that her mother took out from the wrapped withered lotus leaves. Although she didn't believe that Liang Sanlang dared to make a fuss about the tofu she sold to her, she immediately pulled it out. A silver hairpin on the head was inserted into the two pieces of tofu respectively.Pulling out the silver hairpin, she was relieved when she saw that there was no sign of blackening on it.

Seeing her pulling out the silver hairpin from her head and inserting two pieces of tofu, Mrs. Wu felt that her daughter was out of her mind. She stared at her for a while and asked if she was okay.

Xie Erniang shook her head, inserted the silver hairpin into the bun on her head again, and left the kitchen.

Liang Sanlang didn't dare to make fuss about the tofu he sold to himself. This was actually within Xie Erniang's expectation. After all, if the Liang family's tofu workshop bought poisonous tofu and poisoned Xie's family, when it was found out, their Liang family would also Don't even think about doing this business, don't even think about gaining a foothold in Yangliu Town, even a businessman would not be so stupid.

If Liang Sanlang didn't intend to deal with the Xie family, then who else could he be dealing with?

Xie Erniang went upstairs and walked into her boudoir, went to sit down in front of the mirror stand by the mullion window, and saw the golden hairpin that Shunniang personally put on the corolla for her at the engagement banquet, and immediately A thrill.

She thought of who Liang Sanlang would harm, it must be, it must be Shun Niang!

Shunniang made a marriage with herself, which is definitely a blow to Liang Sanlang who has never given up on pursuing him, so he is likely to take revenge on Shunniang, which is not good for Shunniang.

Thinking of this, she immediately ran downstairs, then ran to the door of the wall between Xie's house and Xi's house, and knocked on the door.

It was Shunniang who came to open the door for her. Shunniang was killing fish in the kitchen at that time.

Seeing Xie Erniang, she was still jokingly asking her if she was thinking about the fish she caught and wanted to come over to eat the fish.

Xie Erniang pulled Shunniang aside, and hurriedly told Shunniang what Liang Sanlang said when she went to buy tofu just now, as well as what she thought of later, she said: "I guess Liang Sanlang might deal with you. Be careful, when traveling to Bianliang City, why don't you hire a helper, two people go back and forth together, and you can take care of each other when you encounter problems. In addition, the more you sell, the more you need a personal helper, otherwise sister-in-law and You are too tired."

When Shunniang heard it, she felt that what Xie Erniang said was reasonable, let alone the fact that she was blocked and robbed when traveling between Bianliang City and Yangliu Town alone, or that she was completely threatened by revenge. , It is true that the workload is huge, and it is getting harder and harder for me and my sister-in-law to do it.If I could hire a helper to help, my sister-in-law and myself would be much more relaxed. Moreover, based on the money she earned from selling the seeds in Bianliang City, I could afford to hire a helper.

"Okay, I'll hire someone, but where can I find someone for a while?"

"...By the way, there are several guys in our Xie's butcher shop. See who you like, pick and use them first. I'll call my father and find someone later."

"Is your father willing? Is there anyone else willing?"

"Let me tell you, my father is definitely willing. As for whether the guy is willing, as long as you pay the same wages as the butchers, there is no one who is not willing."

Shunniang thought about it, and felt that she could look up to Hei Wa. The young man was tall and strong, and he was quite simple and honest. He had a good relationship with her on weekdays. It would be very satisfying to have such a helper.However, he also knew that Hei Wa was a capable guy in Xie's butcher shop, and he was afraid that Xie Yi would not give up his love.

So, she told Xie Erniang that she wanted Hei Wa as a helper, and said that if Xie Yi didn't want to, she wouldn't force it, and she could also give her a buddy as a helper.

Xie Erniang: "This matter is on my shoulders. I'll go and tell my father and ask him to help you with Heiwa, and he will help you with business in the future. I'm relieved to have him with you."

Shunniang: "Okay, then I'll wait for your letter."

The two of them were talking, when Mrs. Wu came out of the kitchen, she was shouting Xie Erniang from afar, and she could tell that she was very upset.

After hearing this, Xie Erniang stuck out her tongue, saying that her mother might catch her and give her a hard reprimand, because she was shameless and couldn't resist coming to see the "man".

Shunniang laughed when she heard the words, and then said softly: "Your mother wronged you, I will make it up for you when you pass through the door."

Erniang Xie gave a shy "hm", glanced at Shunniang, twisted her body and ran back.

Shunniang then went to close the door, and went back to the kitchen to kill the fish.In the past, her fish killing skills were unfamiliar, and it was all done by her sister-in-law. Later, under her repeated requests, Mrs. Qi handed over the job of killing fish to her. After she killed a few more times, her skills are quite proficient now up.

Mrs. Qi, who was cooking in the kitchen, saw that Shunniang came back to continue killing fish, so she asked Shunniang what happened when Xie Erniang knocked on the door in a hurry to find Shunniang. After all, since the wall between Xi's house and Xie's house was built Well, Xie Erniang seldom knocked on the door directly, let alone walked through the main entrance rarely in the past two months.

"Sister-in-law, it's like this..." Shunniang told Qi Shi what Xie Erniang had just said to her.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi was taken aback, looked at Shun Niang and asked: "Then Liang Sanlang can't be so bad, can I? My family usually goes in and out of Liang's house and sees him smiling a lot, and he is friendly when doing business. If there is a big problem at someone's house, he will often lend a helping hand, such a handsome and warm-hearted young man, how could he want to punish you?"

Shunniang sighed: "Who knows, knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, in fact, it would be terrible to deal with people like Liang Sanlang, after all, as sister-in-law said, he doesn't look like a bad person at all."

Mrs. Qi recalled that more than a month ago, on the day when Shunniang and Xie Erniang made an agreement, she saw Liang Sanlang, who was insane at Liang's house, and Xie Erniang, who was said by her mother-in-law later that Liang Sanlang was jealous and had a dowry of two to three hundred pennies. At home, I somewhat believed what Shun Niang said.

She hurriedly asked Shun Niang what she planned to do.

Shun Niang said: "Er Niang Xie gave me an idea just now, she asked me to hire a tall and strong man as a helper, and we will go back and forth between Bianliang City and Yangliu Town together, in that way, there will be no trouble if we encounter anything on the way. Individuals can help, I think what she said is good, so I accepted her idea."

Mrs. Qi nodded after hearing this, and said that Xie Erniang's idea was good, and also said that Shunniang was a woman, and as this kind of business got better and better, the more money she made, the more she really wanted to guard against robbery.If there is a man around as a helper, it is very necessary.She asked Shunniang to find someone as soon as possible, and if she found someone, she would send someone to Bianliang City with Shunniang to send the seedling student.

Shunniang told her that Erniang Xie had gone to ask her father for help for her, but she didn't know if she could persuade her father to give Heiwa to her.

At this time, in the butcher shop of Xie's family, Erniang Xie didn't care about her mother following behind her and went straight to talk to her father.

"Father, please send Hei Wa to Xi Er as a helper. She is sending more and more seedlings to Bianliang City, and it is too tiring to have no one to help." Xie Er Niang said flatteringly while helping her father on the shoulder. .

Xie Yi was sitting in the butcher's shop drinking tea while watching the guys outside clean up the butcher's stall.

Now, after hearing what my daughter said, I laughed that she hadn't passed the door yet, so she felt sorry for the Master, and when she came, she was going to leave Hei Wa, a capable shop assistant in her shop, and her elbows turned out too much Bar.

Wu frowned, and said that her daughter hadn't married yet, so she was sticking to Kijiro, and when she got married, she would definitely forget about her parents.

Xie Erniang couldn't resist her father and mother teasing herself together, she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, and then said: "In addition to my worry that she is too tired, the other thing is that the business she does is getting better and better, and the money she makes is getting better and better. There are more and more people coming, it will inevitably make people jealous. I am afraid that some bad people will stare at her, and in case of robbery, losing money is a trivial matter, and I am afraid of hurting people. So I thought that if my father and mother let Hei Wa I used to be her helper, firstly to make her not so tired, and secondly, there is someone to help when something happens. Father, mother, you can just ask Heiwa to help her, after all, the child is engaged to her and does not want her What's going on?"

Having said that, Xie Yi and his wife looked at each other, and they could see from each other's eyes that they agreed.

Just like what his daughter said, Kijiro is engaged to his daughter, and his daughter will be married in two months. If the kind of thing that the daughter said really happens, the happiness of the daughter's life will be ruined.

So Xie Yi said: "Hey, I owe you as a father, okay, I will let Hei Wa help Xi Erlang, and I will find another person to replace Hei Wa. By the way, Xi Erlang How much is the salary for Hei Wa, it can't be less than what I give Hei Wa, otherwise people won't be willing."

Xie Erniang: "She said, compared with the wages father gave Heiwa, there will be additional money rewards during the festivals. In short, I can't lose him."

Xie Yi: "That's good. I'll call Hei Wa in a while, tell him something, and ask him to help Xi Erlang tomorrow morning."

"Father, you are so kind! I don't know how to repay you!" I successfully persuaded my father to send Heiwa to help Shunniang, which made Erniang Xie very happy. He also beat his shoulders with extra effort.

Xie Yi laughed loudly, patted his daughter's hand, and said: "You will marry Xi Erlang and live well in the future, which is the greatest repayment to Dad."

Seeing the happy appearance of the father and daughter, Mrs. Wu muttered: "It seems that I can only be a villain all the time, and the good people let the officials do it...

After dinner that night, Shunniang was soaking beans in warm water and watering the bean sprouts in the backyard. Xie Yi led Heiwa over. , I brought Heiwa to you, and let him be your helper from tomorrow on, helping you with work and sending seedlings to the city. Before, I paid Heiwa three times a month. There is also meat or money rewards on the Internet, and you have to treat him like this, so he will do it with you with all his heart."

"Uncle Xie, don't worry, Hei Wa will do with me, I can't lose him!" Shun Niang laughed, she was of course very happy to have Hei Wa as a helper so soon.

Xie Yi then patted Hei Wa on the shoulder vigorously and said: "Hei Wa, work hard with my son-in-law, you will have a better future than being a butcher in my butcher shop, my son-in-law will not treat you badly!"

Hei Wa smiled and nodded heavily.

After explaining a few more words, Xie Yi went back, leaving Hei Wa to follow Shun Niang to learn how to water the seeds, how to soak beans, and how to harvest bean sprouts, only tomorrow morning can teach him.Shunniang told Heiwa that when Xie's family slaughtered pigs tomorrow morning, the gates on the fences of the two houses would be opened, and he could come over. He helped him not only pay, but also take care of the food. As for the sleeping place, it was temporarily at Xie's house. Nearby.When I make money to buy a house in the future, I will arrange a place for him.

Hei Wa said yes naively.

With the help of Heiwa, Shunniang has more confidence in doing better and better in the seed business in the future.

That night, before Shunniang lay on the bed and fell asleep, she suddenly thought that if Xie Erniang came to remind her that what she said was true, would Liang Sanlang definitely collude with the gangsters to rob her in the middle of the road, which would be bad for her?

If Liang Sanlang was a local resident like Zhao Sanlang, it would be more likely to find a helper to do this. But he is an outsider who came to Yangliu Town later than himself, so he probably doesn't have the qualifications to do robbery.So what else can Liang Sanlang do to make himself suffer if he wants to deal with him?

Ordinary people are those who are not capable of martial arts, and those who are not bright, come to be dark. After thinking about it, Shunniang thinks that if they want to punish her, the most likely way is to attack her beans and bean sprouts.Therefore, the bean sprouts she sprouts and the bean sprouts that are sent out must be carefully inspected, lest anyone take the opportunity to make trouble, and those bean sprouts sent to Bianliang City must also be paid attention to...

When she got up the next day, Shunniang opened the door on the fence for a while, and Hei Wa came over. With his help picking and carrying the bean sprouts, the Qi family didn't have to do anything, and she only had to cook the fire.Last night, Shunniang had already told her mother and sister-in-law about Heiwa's coming to help her, so Qi's cooking had to cook more for Heiwa.

Heiwa is a tall and strong young man with a big shoulder and round waist, so naturally he eats more than Shunniang, basically twice as much as Shunniang.Shunniang gets up early to drink one bowl of porridge and two steamed cakes, while Hei Wa will drink two bowls of porridge and four steamed cakes.

Shunniang felt that with Heiwa, a big-bellied guy who eats and smells delicious, eating with her, it seemed that she also felt that the food became more delicious.

After breakfast, the two of them sat side by side in front of the ox cart and drove the ox cart carrying bean sprouts into the city. Erniang Xie, who was standing upstairs in front of the bedroom window of her boudoir, saw her and curled the corners of her lips. She felt relieved now , I am not afraid of that Liang Sanlang making troubles.

Entering the city, when meeting Shitou, Shitou sees Heiwa, and asks Shunniang who is this black-faced guy and what he does.

Shunniang told Shitou that Heiwa will be another helper she hired from now on. We all work together and eat together. They didn't dare to do anything casually.

"Okay, I am 1 people in favor of Brother Heiwa joining us, Second Brother Xi, you can just lend him to me today, and I will take him to send the seed."

"Okay, let him go with you today, and I will be with you tomorrow. Both sides are familiar with each other. In the future, if you and me have any problems and cannot deliver the goods, Hei Wa will still be on top."

It has to be said that with the addition of Heiwa, the workload of Shunniang and Shitou has been reduced a lot. As a result, Shunniang has more free time to expand her seed business.Just half a month after Heiwa became her helper, she lobbied for more than [-] small foot shops to give her seeds.

Shunniang went to rent another ox and changed to a bigger cart. In this way, her delivery ox cart was pulled by two oxen, and more baskets of raw seeds could be placed on the cart. .The cart pulled by two oxen runs faster than one oxen, and Shunniang's mood is like a ox cart running faster and faster, and the business is getting better and better, and it starts to fly!

She calculated the accounts, Songjiazheng store and Weijiazheng store, as well as the small foot store under the two stores, plus some foot stores she contacted later, she is now delivering one day's goods, excluding expenses and miscellaneous expenses, she can save about the same amount every day More than [-] Wen, which is comparable to the money earned by the Yue family's butcher shop business.

If this continues, by the end of the year, she will basically have saved five hundred coins, or even more.

In that way, after another year, she can buy a suburban yard in Bianliang City and move her family into Bianliang City. It is also convenient for the family and the wife to enjoy the prosperity and abundance of Bianliang City.

The days passed quickly, and soon came the day of Xie Erniang and Jiji on March 23. Xie Yi and his wife held a wedding banquet on that day in order to celebrate their daughter Jiji.

Shunniang and Heiwa were told that they would go to Yangliu Town for a feast at noon, and they agreed to drive an ox cart into Bianliang City to deliver the goods on the morning of March 23 earlier than usual.Since she had Heiwa's help and changed the cart pulled by two oxen, Shunniang was able to deliver all the seeds before noon. She entered the city half an hour earlier than usual, just to get to the banquet on time.

Xie Erniang's family, as well as Xie's in-laws, the Lu family and the Xi family, all attended her ceremony.

She got up early in the morning and changed into a brightly colored skirt, lightly brushed her eyebrows, and lightly applied makeup. Her mother combed her hair and put a golden hairpin on her.

While performing the Jiji ceremony, Xie Erniang felt a little regretful that Shunniang was busy with business and was not here to look at her and Jiji, but when she came back to the banquet, she could still see that she had combed her hair differently from before, and saw herself This dress represents what a woman would wear as an adult, wouldn't she be unable to look away and just look at herself and smile stupidly?

Don't want to wait until noon for the banquet, Xie Erniang and the others are not waiting for Shunniang, but Heiwa who is sweating profusely and has an anxious face.

He told everyone that something happened to Shunniang and she was surrounded by many people. A woman grabbed Shunniang's skirt and said that her son was poisoned after eating the seed given by Shunniang. Several people chimed in.Shunniang argued with her, saying that the seeds she gave her were absolutely fine, and asked which foot shop her son ate at.The woman was sobbing and didn't listen to Shunniang's argument at all, she wanted Shunniang to accompany the money, and even smashed the ox cart that Shunniang sent the seedlings, and the few people who helped her were going to do it, and then he and Shitou went forward to pull them , torn up with them.Seeing that he was powerful, those people didn't dare to do it again after tearing him up a few times.

Shunniang asked him to drive the ox cart back to Yangliu Town to report the news, and she could just be accompanied by Shitou. She also said that she made up her mind to go to the officials and didn't want to have sex with these people, because she was very confident, and the seeds she sent Health is fine.

Hei Wa had just finished speaking when she saw Liu yelling: "My child..."

Then she rolled her eyes, fell back, and passed out. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu was by her side, her eyesight and hands were quick, so she didn't fall to the ground. Seeing that her mother-in-law was fainted, Mrs. Qi had already started crying, and Mrs. Wu helped her up. Let the mother-in-law go back and lie down.

As for Xie Erniang, after hearing Heiwa's words, her face turned pale. Although she was afraid, she didn't faint. She quickly grabbed her father's sleeve and asked him to take her to the city immediately, to the Kaifeng government office. To see what happened.

Xie Yi comforted his daughter not to panic, he would bring some money and take the shop assistants to the city, as for his daughter, he told her not to go, just wait for the news at home, after all, if Xi Erlang went to Kaifeng government office Seeing the officials, Xie Erniang, a woman like her, is not suitable to appear in court.And if the sufferer gets excited, it is very possible to do something to Xie Erniang, the betrothed object of "Xi Erlang". For the sake of his daughter's safety, he doesn't want her to go with him.

Xie Erniang still wanted to insist, but her mother Wu Shi came and held her back, telling her not to cause trouble. The most important thing now is to let her father go to the city to help Xi Erlang with money and helpers.She said that judging from what Heiwa said when he came back, Xierlang was probably framed by someone. Something is wrong.

As soon as the words came out, Xie Erniang said loudly: "It must be Liang Sanlang who did it. I didn't expect him to be so insidious. Not only will he cut off Second Brother Xi's fortune, but he will also send Second Brother Xi to jail!"

Mrs. Wu asked her strangely: "Why did you get involved with Liang Sanlang next door again?"

Xie Erniang told her mother what Liang Sanlang said about "it's good to do it for herself". After listening to it, Wu was dubious, and said: "This is not nonsense, just relying on those four words, it cannot be determined He was the one who framed Xi Erlang, you see he sits and sells tofu every day in front of the stall of the Liang family tofu workshop, and how could he go to the city to do the frame Xi Erlang's business when he has time to spare."

These days, Liang Sanlang sells tofu every day in front of the stall of Liang's tofu workshop, everyone has seen it, so when Mrs. Wu said this, Xie Erniang couldn't refute it.

Xie Yi didn't care about what their mother and daughter said, but went back to his room and changed his clothes, took a piece of fur skin to wrap up twenty guan coins, went downstairs to call Hei Wa, and two other men, drove the ox cart into the city .The business of Xie's butcher's shop was left to Mr. Wu and two waiters to take care of it.

A group of people hurried into the city in a bullock cart, and when they arrived in front of the small foot shop where Shunniang had an accident, they asked the citizens who were doing small business next to them, and learned that Shunniang and others had gone to the Kaifeng government office, so they rushed again. The ox cart went to Kaifeng Mansion.

At that time, the number one leader of the Kaifeng Mansion was the famous Bao Zheng in history, that is, Bao Qingtian, who was specialized in the great book of unofficial history.

In addition to the right to know the affairs of the Kaifeng government, Bao Zheng is also a direct scholar of Longtuge and a doctor of the right department of Shangshuxing. Because he solves cases like a god, he is called Bao Qingtian by the people.

The reason why Shunniang was willing to meet the official, but not private, was because she believed that Bao Qingtian could make a clear decision on the case and find out the black hands behind her frame.

When Xie Yi and others rushed to the Kaifeng government office, it happened that Bao Zheng was sitting in court to hear Shunniang's case.

Standing in the hall was Shunniang and the woman from the Lu family who sued Shunniang for bean sprouts poisoning her son Lu Dalang's maiden surnamed Ma. Bao Zheng asked the two of them to state what had happened, and then sent the yamen to go there immediately. Investigate whether Lu Dalang was poisoned or not, and whether he was poisoned after eating the seeds sent by Shun Niang.

When the Yamen went out to investigate, Bao Zheng asked Shunniang and Lu's wife to stand aside, and continued to try other cases by himself.

The Yamen dispatched to investigate Shunniang's poisoning case came back more than an hour later, and told Bao Zheng that Nalu Dalang was no longer in danger of dying after being treated by a doctor, and that he was indeed in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. After I went to Wenjia Foot Shop to eat a plate of seeds, I felt pain in my abdomen. I went back and tossed all night. This morning, I was found unconscious by my family. I asked the doctor to see it and found that it was poisoning.The doctor also said that the poisoning was caused by eating food containing arsenic.

After hearing this, Bao Zheng stroked his beard and murmured: "Na Lu Dalang was poisoned after he returned home. There was still an hour or two in the middle, and no one saw what else he ate, so it is blamed for eating Xijia Erlang. The delivery of seeds is also far-fetched. According to Xijia Erlang, he will send one or two thousand catties of seeds to various shops and foot stores in Bianliang City a day. If the seeds he sends are really poisonous, they will It’s not just that Lu Dalang was poisoned alone, at least there must be several other people, right? Why is it that people who eat the seeds given by Xi Erlang are fine, but Lu Dalang will be fine after eating them?”

Saying so, he turned his eyes to stare at the lady of the Lu family. From the corner of her eyes, the lady of the Lu family caught the high official sitting above him staring at him, and couldn't help but feel agitated.

Bao Zheng looked at the unnatural expression on the woman's forty years away standing below him, suddenly snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Are you so sure that your son Lu Dalang was poisoned after eating the seeds given by Xi Erlang? Did you watch him eat, or did he tell you that he ate a plate of seeds at the little foot shop outside when he came back?"

Mrs. Ma thought for a while and boldly said: "He told the servants as soon as he came back."

Bao Zheng asked again: "Did he even tell you which little foot shop he ate at?"

Ma said: "I told you, it's Wen's Foot Shop."

Bao Zheng didn't speak after hearing this, but called the Yamen who came to investigate and asked him to speak.

The yaman agreed, and then said loudly: "According to the people who do small business around the Wen's foot shop, Mrs. Ma has close contacts with Mrs. Zhao, the wife of the owner of the Wen's foot shop. Lu Dalang, as the son of Mrs. Ma, often goes to Wen's. I eat at a foot shop and often keep accounts. Zhao’s family is in Yangliu Town. According to Xi Erlang’s helper named Shitou, Xi Erlang, who lives in Yangliu Town, was slandered by Zhao’s brother Zhao Sanlang before. The Li Zheng of the town reprimanded the fine, and the Zhao family and the Xi family became enmity because of this..."

Having said that, Bao Zheng raised his hand to signal the Yamen that there is no need to say anything, then he looked at the cold sweating Ma Shi standing in the hall and said, "Ma Shi, did you hear clearly? Tell me the truth."

Ma Shi trembled, his face turned pale, and he was speechless.

Bao Zheng stroked his beard on the top and said: "You just answered what I said just now, and you didn't know it in the first sentence. It seems ridiculous to try to hide this kind of trick from me. Is it true? As the saying goes, the ignorant Are you fearless?"
