Chen Shiliu and He Chuan were in the teahouse together, separated by a wall, and could hear the three people's words clearly.

That's all for Sun Jincai, now he has benefited and left Luyu County, but the conversation between Yang Zhi and Zhao Yongyan attracted people's attention.These two people only seem to be in harmony on the surface, but in fact, the rift between them is quite deep. Zhao Yongyan tried to test Sun Jincai several times, and he also had other intentions about what Yan Zhi said. Similarly, Yang Zhi's reply seemed plain and normal. Come on, there is also a lot of smoke.

He Chuan was also aware of it naturally: "Young Master, what are your plans now?"

Chen Shiliu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Didn't Yang Zhi say that he is going to visit Zhao's house tonight. Let's go too! Look at what they say."

This is also a good time to find an opportunity to get more words out of Zhao Yongyan's mouth!

Seeing those two people today, Chen Shiliu also had some calculations in his heart.

Zhao Yongyan was indeed keen, but he was a little impatient with Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi remained calm, even though he hated Sun Jincai and Zhao Yongyan in his heart, he didn't show the slightest word or expression.Such a person, he can bear it, but it is absolutely impossible to endure it all the time. Once he finds the right time, he will hit it with one blow.

The Zhao family's house is a two-entry courtyard with ten or twenty large and small rooms, which are very spacious.Although Luyu County is not very big, due to the large number of businessmen coming and going, it is very prosperous, and the housing prices are also rising.Zhao Yongyan didn't buy this house for his own living. He divided the house into two parts. His family lived in the front yard, and the back yard was rented out to businessmen from other places. The rent was quite lucrative.

The Zhao family has a total of five members. Zhao Yongyan's father and mother are all present, including a wife and daughter.

In the past, the family relied on working in the tea garden for a living. After all, they produce tea everywhere and there are very few fields. Zhao Yongyan just felt that working for others was hard work and there was no prospect, so he went to sell tea with Yang Zhi.Now that life is affluent, he is willing to spend money, but his family is still thrifty, especially his wife.

Zhao's wife has been in the business for seven or eight years, and she only has a six-year-old daughter, which makes her parents-in-law dissatisfied, and makes her dare not complain about Zhao Yongyan's going in and out of the flower building.It's not that she can't conceive, it's just that her life is hard and tiring. She has lost two babies and hurt her body. The doctor asked her to take good care of her body so that she will have a chance in the future.

It was getting late, and Mrs. Zhao was going to cook.

The family bought an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, who has to do all the work inside and outside the house.Now that I'm busy with dinner, the little girl is squatting outside the kitchen to wash vegetables.Now that spring is warm and flowers are blooming, there are many wild vegetables on the mountain, and they are fresh and tender. Mrs. Zhao sent the little girl to dig wild vegetables on the mountain, and luckily found a lot of mushrooms.

"Although the mushrooms are smaller, they are very fresh." Mrs. Zhao squinted her eyes and looked at them. She was old and hurt her eyes from too much needlework. When it got dark, her vision became blurred, and she could only see the pots. The inside is full of white flowers, and the nose smells of mushrooms.

Zhao's wife said: "There is still a piece of pork that I got up early. Cut it into slices and fry mushrooms. It is fat and tender, but it is as fragrant as meat. Juaner's father loves it."

The youngest daughter is called Zhao Xiaojuan, and "Juan'er's father" refers to Zhao Yongyan.

"Row."

Mrs. Zhao was busy at the stove, the little girl was cooking fire, fresh wild vegetable salad, fried meat with mushrooms, and last year’s dried vegetables, soaked in lard, fried a plate, and stewed a pot of rice in a large pot.They can't wait to eat rice for three meals a day. Even though Luyu County has less land, there is a lot of food in other places, and there are two crops a year, the price of food is not expensive.

The dinner table was set in the main room, and the dishes were served. Zhao Yongyan was carrying the wine and poured a glass for his father first, and the two drank and ate the dishes.

Mrs. Zhao sat down with her daughter, but moved their chopsticks slightly.

Zhao Yongyan was happy today, so he put the meat slices into his daughter's bowl with two chopsticks: "Eat! Dad is not short of money now, and he has made money today. He will raise you like a young lady in the future. It will be a good deal when he grows up. "

"Create big business again?" Father Zhao laughed straight, "My son is really good and capable. No wonder shopkeeper Yang asked you to be the second shopkeeper. He didn't make a loss-making business."

"Your son is very capable of me." Zhao Yongyan poured wine for his father again, persuaded his mother to eat more vegetables, and told Zhao's wife: "If you have money at home, just tell me if you don't have enough money. Don't be reluctant to eat or wear clothes. Tomorrow Let me cut the meat again, and bring back the good wine from the wine shop in two jars."

Mrs. Zhao snorted softly: "You, what's the matter with burning your hands with money? If you are really filial, you might as well marry a second wife with money. You are almost thirty, what's the point of being a girl?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhao froze with her outstretched chopsticks, she lowered her head and dared not make a sound.

Xiaojuan has been fascinated by her ears and eyes, and she has long been the governor, and she also shrinks her head to reduce her sense of presence.

Zhao Yongyan smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, I'm still young, how can I die. But since you mentioned it, mother, it's easy to say, mother will go and search for someone who is sweet, at most, I will give you a few taels of money, and I will worry about marrying her." Not a good woman? At that time, my mother will have as many grandchildren as she wants."

Zhao Yongyan was a little drunk while talking.

Zhao's parents were overjoyed when they heard this.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes were sore and swollen, but she didn't dare to show it. She only said she was watching the fire under the stove and left the main room.Xiaojuan was timid, so she ran out.

"Let's eat here, my wife." This kind of thing happened a lot, and Zhao's wife quickly recovered.

In the kitchen there is a bowl of leftovers left over from noon, and there are also some cold wild vegetables. I dare not keep other vegetables with meat in private. If my mother-in-law finds out, I have to stop.The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law used to be good, but since she couldn't give birth to a son, the mother-in-law disliked her, and she would criticize her from time to time.

The two mothers and the little girl gathered around the kitchen to eat.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhao heard her mother-in-law calling for more rice, and hurriedly filled three bowls of rice and sent them over.

After the meal was over, the table was cleared, and the three dishes were eaten clean, each person ate two bowls of rice, and drank a pot of wine.Both Zhao's father and son were drunk, and Zhao's father went to bed, but Zhao Yongyan said that he would wait for someone and asked Zhao's wife to make a bowl of strong tea.

"Go and wash the dishes, and I'll make the tea." Mrs. Zhao ordered.

After Zhao's wife heard this, she went to work.

After washing the pots and bowls, wiping the stove, and boiling hot water in a large pot for bathing at night.The first pot of hot water should be used by the in-laws. Pour the hot water into a wooden bucket, bring it to the in-laws’ room, and then bring cold water, and wait for the in-laws to clean up when they run out.After the second pot of hot water was ready, she gave her daughter another bath and put her on the bed for her to sleep first.

When she came to the main room, she saw Zhao Yongyan slumped in the chair with her eyes closed, and asked, "Father, it's getting late, do you want to wash up and go to bed first?"

Zhao Yongyan was breathing heavily: "Pour me a bowl of hot water, I feel a little uncomfortable."

It was only then that Zhao's wife realized that his complexion was not very good-looking. Because the oil lamp was lit in the house, the fire was not very bright, so she didn't notice it just now.Zhao's wife only thought that he was drinking too much, and she tried to persuade him earlier, but he was scolded for nothing, but now she doesn't say anything.

How did you know that as soon as you left the main room, you suddenly heard your parents-in-law calling: "I'm going to die, my son! Juaner's mother, ouch!"

"What, what's wrong?" Wife Zhao was taken aback. The lights at her parents-in-law's side had already been turned off. Wife Zhao looked back at Zhao Yongyan, who was curled up on the ground and humming.Mrs. Zhao didn't realize that something was wrong, so she hurriedly called the little girl in the kitchen: "Hurry up and find a doctor, hurry up, something serious happened at home!"

As he said this, Zhao Yongyan vomited all over the floor, unable to open his eyes, but hummed in pain.

"Her father!" Wife Zhao was so frightened that tears rolled down her eyes, she wanted to see her in-laws, but she couldn't leave her husband, she was at a loss.

Fortunately, a gust of wind blew, she was a little more awake, and hurried out to find neighbors for help.

The neighbor's aunt has always had a good relationship with her, so she came to have a look, and then asked her again: "What do you eat at night? It seems to have spoiled your stomach!"

Zhao's wife was stunned: "It's wild vegetables dug up the mountain, and mushrooms."

"Mushrooms? It's not poisonous, right?" The locals always look for the most common mushrooms when they eat them, but occasionally they get it wrong.

"No, it can't be, it's white mushrooms." These mushrooms are very common, and Zhao's wife is also a local, who has been picking mushrooms since she was a child.However, she remembered that the little girl picked the mushrooms today, and the little girl was also responsible for cleaning them, so she directly fried them in the pan.

Although it was getting late, but it was close to the street, and the doctor came very quickly.

At this moment, the Zhao family has surrounded many neighbors.

At this time, the three members of the Zhao family were already unconscious.

After the doctor's examination, his expression was serious: "It should be food poisoning. The mushrooms for dinner in your house probably mixed with poisonous ones. They are raw and have alcohol. Alcohol can promote the poison of mushrooms..."

Before the words were finished, the father of the Zhao family tilted his neck and lost his breath.

"Father..." Mrs. Zhao fell to her knees with both grief and fear.

The doctor sighed: "Your father-in-law is getting old."

Old age, poor health, and the poison of mushrooms, and the poison of alcohol, how can I bear it.Even though Mrs. Zhao didn't drink, but she didn't eat less mushrooms, she was already out of breath.

"Doctor, save my man, save my mother-in-law."

The doctor just shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to help, there is really no way, the poison has already entered the lungs."

This kind of poisonous mushroom is terrible, and one or two flowers can poison an adult.Originally there might be a dormant period, but the alcohol thing is bad, anyway, the doctor can't help it.In the past, there were people who ate poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and the whole family died before being discovered.

It has been less than an hour since dinner was finished.

Mrs. Zhao swallowed her breath, and Zhao Yongyan survived for another quarter of an hour, and finally died too.

The neighbors on the left and right sighed again and again, and said that Zhao's wife, mother and daughter were fatal.Because Zhao's wife failed to give birth to a son, she was not treated well by her in-laws. Zuo Jin knew about it.As for that little girl, even though it was an unintentional act, she was the one who picked the mushrooms after all. Mrs. Zhao will let her go home tomorrow, and don't want her to redeem her money.

The little girl also knew that she had caused a catastrophe, and it was rare that Zhao's wife would not pursue it, but it might not be good to send her home.She didn't dare to intercede, didn't dare to see her neighbors, she hid in her room and kept crying.

When they saw the white lantern hanging on the gate of Zhao's house, Chen Shiliu and He Chuan looked at each other and left.

The two of them have been watching at the street corner, originally waiting for Yang Zhi, who knows that Yang Zhi didn't wait, but waited for the news of Zhao Yongyan's death.

"You said, it's really such a coincidence?" Chen Shiliu was very concerned. Even though it seemed accidental, he was always suspicious.

He Chuan understood what he meant: "The Zhao family died after eating poisonous mushrooms. There is no problem with that. If there is any way to manipulate, the only source of poisonous mushrooms is the source of the mushrooms. The mushrooms were picked by that little girl of the Zhao family. You must know She misidentified the mushroom, or someone gave it to you, you have to ask her."

Chen Shiliu nodded: "Didn't those people just say that the Zhao family wants to let the little girl go home? It's too late now, and maybe they will send someone out tomorrow. You and I will just wait."

The two went to the inn, and before dawn the next day, they rushed to the street where Zhao's house was located.

Although it was early, some shops had already opened, and the two of them were sitting at a breakfast stand.The stall owner and his wife just opened the stall. The rice porridge in the pot has not yet been cooked, and there is a pot full of dough, which is for pancakes.

"Two customers, wait a moment, the porridge will be ready in a while." The stall owner said, keeping his hands in his hands, and the fragrance of the cake soon filled the air.This restaurant makes scallion pancakes. The freshly-born green onions are full of fragrance, sprinkled with sesame seeds, cut into small pieces and served on a plate.

The two ate pancakes and drank porridge, the sky was slightly brighter, and more and more pedestrians came.

At this time, a little girl came from the street, not tall, with a big brown bag on her shoulders, wiping her tears as she walked.

"Xiaofang, come!" Seeing the stall owner's wife, she raised her hand to greet the little girl, filled a bowl full of porridge, grabbed another pancake, and placed the little girl on a table next to her. "Why are you crying! Don't cry, hurry up and eat while it's hot, and go home when you're full. You are so old now, you can work when you go home, and if you don't want to marry me, there is always a way to survive."

Chen Shiliu had never seen that little girl from Zhao's family before, and when he heard the words of the stall owner and his wife, he looked at Xiaofang again, and his heart moved slightly.

"This sister-in-law, do you know this little girl?"

The stall owner's wife sighed: "Yes, she is a poor girl."

According to the stall owner, it was indeed the little girl from the Zhao family.

Xiaofang's family is on the other side of the county. The family is poor and has many children.Her family has no land, so she grows vegetables for sale, picks tea for the tea garden, or does odd jobs in the county town.The reason why she was sold to the Zhao family was because her elder brother was going to get married and had no money, so they sold her for two taels of silver.

It's not that Xiaofang doesn't want to go home, but her second brother should get married too, and if she goes back, she will probably be sold again.This time it is uncertain where it will be sold.She is almost 13 years old and ready to marry. In the past, a little sister was married to an old widower in his thirties by the decision of the family, but she was beaten to death within a year. She was really scared.

The stall owner and his wife felt sorry for Xiaofang, so they told about Xiaofang.

Chen Shiliu asked, "Don't Xiaofang recognize mushrooms?"

Xiaofang, who had been crying all the time, said: "I, I know each other. I picked white mushrooms. I picked them with others, and they were all the same."

"Who else?" Chen Shiliu asked.

"Li Cuicui, and Zhang Xiaohua, they picked a basket like me, and they all said they ate it at home. I asked them two last night, and they said they ate all the mushrooms at home, but they were fine." Xiaofang said this , very wronged.

Chen Shiliu frowned: "Have you ever separated when picking mushrooms? But there are others?"

Xiaofang said: "No one was there, we went with Zhang Xiaohua, over there is the tea garden of the Liu family, Zhang Xiaohua's father is showing the tea garden to the Liu family over there, there are many mushrooms and wild vegetables beside the tea garden."

"Liu Family Tea Garden?" Chen Shiliu was startled: "Is it Yang Zhi's Yue Family?"

The stall owner and his wife nodded: "It's the Liu family."

Chen Shiliu remembered that yesterday the shop assistant said that Yang Zhi went to Liu's tea garden, and Yang Zhi just came back this morning.Xiaofang and the others also went to pick mushrooms early in the morning, and the time and place coincided.According to the relationship between Yang Zhi and Zhao Yongyan, he must know Xiaofang. If he saw Xiaofang in the tea garden, he would easily think of Xiaofang picking mushrooms for the Yang family to cook.

After realizing this matter, he remembered Zheng Dongming's being blamed again.

He had already pinpointed the murderer as Yang Zhi, and he also saw that Yang Zhi was cunning and cautious. The two incidents were quite similar, removing obstacles and hiding himself.

However, originally they wanted to find some clues from Zhao Yongyan, but they didn't know that he was actually dead.

So, what exactly is Zhao Yongyan's reason for Yang Zhi's constant bankruptcy?

When Chen Shiliu came back to his senses, Xiaofang had left.

There were more and more guests having breakfast at the stall, and they were all talking about the Zhao family.

"The Zhao family is lucky. Their wife and children are still alive. I remember that a few years ago, Huangjia Village was also poisoned by mushrooms. The whole family, old and young, died more than a dozen, and another ten or twenty survived. It's okay. Sick child."

Chen Shiliu was about to leave, when he heard this, he stopped in his tracks: "Is there such a big deal? Is it mushroom poisoning?"

The man said: "Of course it's true. It was spread all over the year. There was an official in the Huang family village's banquet family. He returned home in fine clothes, and the Huang clan held a big feast. They also rely on the mountains. My family also loves to eat mushrooms, and it is said that there was mushroom stew at the banquet that day, and those who drank the soup were poisoned, and the more they drank, the deeper the poison became, and the official who returned home in fine clothes died on the spot.”

"You outsiders don't know that when this happened in Huangjia Village, few people dared to eat mushrooms for two or three years in a row, and they avoided them like snakes and scorpions when they saw mushrooms. Originally, farmers relied on mountains to eat mountains, so who didn't know mushrooms? He just took his life."

Chen Shiliu was speechless and felt a chill down his spine.

He also likes mushrooms.

Chen Shiliu continued to stay in Luyu County. When he saw Yang Zhi go to Zhao's family to express his condolences, he gave a large amount of sacrifice.At this time, no one mentioned the dirtyness of the two of them, everyone praised Yang Zhi for his love and righteousness, and Zhao's wife was very grateful.

"He Chuan, go back to Fengzhou and tell Brother Mu about the matter here, please make a decision." Chen Shiliu knew that Yang Zhi had made up his mind before making a move, and now that he got rid of Zhao Yongyan, it would be too much to expect him to show his feet. difficulty.He had nothing to do, and he was afraid of delaying important matters, so he could only rely on Mu Qingyan to make up his mind.

He Chuan rode back to Fengzhou City on the same day.

When Mu Qingyan heard about this, he was also very surprised, and then his expression changed slightly: "Gao Chun, you go to see Miss Qiu."

He asked Gao Chun to pass the message on his behalf, only saying that he would leave in private, and asked Qiu Baozhen to cover it up for him, and he would return within three days at most.

Qiu Baozhen didn't know his intention, but she had learned his ability, so she cooperated naturally.

Mu Qingyan did this because he wanted to act in a low-key manner while scaring the snake away.

This time he didn't bring Gao Chun Gao Dong with him, and let the two of them stay to cover their eyes, and Wen Jixue accompanied him to Luyu County.

On the same day, they rushed to Luyu County and stayed in the dark night. With Wen Jixue's help, Mu Qingyan sneaked into Zhao's house.At this moment, there is a mourning hall in the Zhao family hall, with three coffins placed. Mrs. Zhao is burning paper money in a basin with her daughter in her arms.

Mu Qingyan stood in the shadow of the corner, activated his ability, and began to trace back——

Originally thought that Zhao Yongyan was only aware of Yang Zhi's secrets, but it was no small matter to blackmail Yang Zhi to kill him.Perhaps, it is unknown that Zhao Yongyan has a handle in his hands.Therefore, he made a special trip to Luyu County to investigate.

He directly went back in time to when the Zhao family first entered the house.

This house is not an old house, it was purchased later, if there are really important things, Zhao Yongyan may hide them here.

Sure enough, one night not long after Zhao moved in, Zhao Yongyan took out a dilapidated wooden box from the woodshed.The wooden box was opened, and there was another small wooden box inside. He opened the small wooden box, and with the help of the oil lamp, he saw clearly that there was a man's blue clothes inside. A dark brown mark, facing the light, looks like dried blood.Under the clothes are a pair of men's cloth shoes. These shoes are blue satin, just like the clothes, with some black and red marks splashed on them, but the soles are hand-made laminated soles, almost all of which are black and red.

Zhao Yongyan covered the box again, locked it, and then dug a hole in the woodshed on the spot, and buried the box inside.

Mu Qingyan naturally recognized that it was the clothes Yang Zhi wore on the night of the murder.

According to Yang Zhi's behavior, when he returned to his residence after the murder, he would have to dispose of these bloody clothes immediately. It was midnight at that time, how could Zhao Yongyan get these things?After all, it is absolutely impossible for Yang Zhi to throw away or bury the bloody clothes, and burning them with fire is the most likely possibility. Then, Zhao Yongyan can hide the bloody clothes as a handle, even if he didn't witness Yang Zhi's murder that night, he still expected it .

But he was still not smart enough, thinking that by biting Yang Zhi, he would get a long-term fortune, but in the end he lost his life because of greed.

So, Yang Zhi has killed Zhao Yongyan, what will he do next?

His temperament is cautious, and he will not act rashly again in the short term.

Mu Qingyan could only force the opponent to act.

For example, if Zhao's wife wanted to sell the house, would Yang Zhi be able to bear it?

Mu Qingyan handed over this matter to Chen Shiliu. After all, Chen Shiliu's status was very convenient when dealing with the county government.After listening to the plan, Chen Shiliu was very interested in attracting people to the Internet, and he also accepted the matter of contacting the county government.In fact, it is not difficult. With the financial resources of the Qiu family and tangible achievements, the county government is also happy to cooperate.

Next is the layout.

If Zhao's wife wants to sell the house, she can only go the wrong way, haunted by ghosts!

After a person dies, they have to stay at home for seven days. Mrs. Zhao has to keep watch every night. At the beginning of the funeral, she was flustered and helpless, but the panic passed, and the night was quiet. When she recalled the past few years, she felt relieved a feeling of.Not being able to have a son was a serious crime, and it made her breathless. She dared not eat or wear clothes at home, dared not speak loudly, and did not dare to protect her daughter when she was wronged.

Now, her in-laws and husband are gone, but she feels relieved.

She calculated that the mother and daughter have a house, and the other half of the house is rented out, and there is a monthly rent, and Zhao Yongyan has a dividend in Yang's shop, which is enough for the mother and daughter to live.She was looking for a job to do, and her life was free.It's just that without a man, orphans and widows will inevitably be bullied by others, but fortunately shopkeeper Yang is willing to take care of them.

When a gust of wind blew, the candles in the mourning hall were blown out, and the coffin shook, as if there was still a voice calling.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes widened, she screamed and ran out, tripped and fell unconscious.
