Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 387
Gu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "I remember Zhang Zhang quickly said that Xue Shan was innocent?"

Inspector Zhang was stunned: "Xue Shan's father and grandfather were all from the capital city. Xue Shan's father had worked as a clerk in the household department for a few years. After he died of illness, Xue Shan started the family business. He is indeed innocent... um , the Fan family is indeed rich, maybe they have stayed with Yourong for a while?"

As soon as the words came out, he didn't believe it.

How capable Xue Shan is, how much must that Fan Zhenghong Patriarch of the Fan family have been taken advantage of to make his shopkeeper fat like this?

"Xue Shan has lived in such a house all these years, so confident? The Fan family didn't respond? It's a strange thing!"

Detective Zhang quickly stared at Xue's house, gritted his teeth, feeling all kinds of envy and jealousy in his heart.

He has been a policeman in Kaifeng Mansion for more than ten years, and now there are more than a dozen members of his family, old and young, crowded in a small rented house, and it is impossible to have a few private words with the tigress at home on weekdays. Shopkeeper Fang, living in such a big house, raised more than [-] concubines, who served as slaves and servants, was no worse than those big families.

Now that Xue Shan died, Xue's family hangs blanks everywhere, and there are cries everywhere. Detective Zhang quickly sighed: "Poor. Xue Shan has two concubines, who were just 15 years old, and they were brought home less than half a year ago. To my sister. As soon as he died, his wife sold him out. These two concubines used to have a wealthy family, but after a flood, their family assets were wiped out. Their parents sold them to relieve the family. The difficulty is to seek a way out for the two daughters, but I did not expect to end up in this situation."

Since Gu Xiang came to this era, he has heard such tragic stories countless times, and he has long since ignored them.

If it weren't for those two concubines who are good-looking, gentle, and I heard they can read and write, I am afraid that even Zhang Kuai would not specifically mention such a miserable word.

This year's festival, ordinary people's homes, every household, who hasn't had any tragedy?
While speaking, Gu Xiang and Zhang Zhang quickly entered Xue's house and went straight to the mourning hall.

Along the way, the servants walked, sat and slept in an orderly manner, which was very grand.

Xue Shan's body is still in the yamen, but the mourning hall has been arranged at home, and the coffin has already been prepared.

In the mourning hall, Xue Shan's wife, Fang Shi, and eleven concubines knelt and cried in front of the hall. A basket of paper money was burned, and the whole house and yard were filled with smoke.

The strong smell of incense came over his face, Gu Xiang paused, and stepped back, Xue Ying took a step forward instantly, and held the sword bag behind his back in his hand, hesitating for a moment, but he didn't draw the sword immediately.

Detective Zhang was startled, he looked around, and all he saw were maids and servants.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a shrill cry.

"My lady, my lady! Let me stay and serve you, I will be obedient in the future, woo woo woo, don't sell me!"

Inspector Zhang immediately frowned, and saw a young woman in her twenties dragged by two rough women by the side of the road, walking straight towards the door.

His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Gu Xiang and Xue Ying, for fear that Xue Ying would start killing here and cause a scene.

In his heart, Gu Xiang is a soft-hearted woman, and I'm afraid he can't see this, but after all, it's his family's business, and outsiders can't control it at all.

Gu Xiang didn't move at all, and Xue Ying didn't even change his expression. Zhang Kuai was a little surprised, but he was also relieved.

When Fang saw them, she stood up slowly from the ground to greet them. She was dressed in plain clothes, described as thin, her face was pale and haggard, she was as thin as a paper figure.

The awkward displeasure in Zhang Kuai's heart can't help dissipating. They, outsiders, don't know the inside story about other people's back houses, so they don't need to say too much. Maybe Mrs. Fang is so sad that she is crazy .

Sighing, Catcher Zhang quickly comforted him softly: "Miss Fang, please forgive me, our Kaifeng Mansion will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible, and give you an explanation."

Fang's brows did not move, and she shook her head slightly: "Everyone is dead, what more is there to explain? If Detective Zhang really takes pity on our old and weak family, he will quickly send the body of our head back so that he can be buried in the ground." For safety."

Gu Xiang's eyes turned to Fang's body, stopped on her shoes for a while, then turned to stop on the brilliant flower clusters in the yard, and suddenly asked: "Miss, did you eat Sixi meatballs today? "

Fang was startled, her lips moved, she slowly raised her head to look at Gu Xiang, she didn't speak for a moment, the maid next to her hurriedly said: "My lady, how can our lady be in the mood to eat Sixi balls, just It's a pity that the little man in the family is weak and his appetite is not good, so he ordered the cook to cook a few dishes that the little man likes to eat, but the cook was not careful, hey, at this time, it is said that the family should not eat these meat. Mr. Lang also felt sorry for our lady, so he forced her to eat some."

Gu Xiang shook his head: "This is not the case, after all, it is the body that matters. I believe that shopkeeper Xue has a spirit in heaven, and I hope his wife and son are all well."

Her voice was very gentle, and the tense look on the maid's face dissipated a little. Gu Xiang then took a breath, changed his voice, and said gently, "I'm a cook, and it's rare to smell such a unique flavor. Sixi meatballs, it really makes people happy."

"This meat is pork, right? It's three thin and seven fat. It's not a common taste nowadays. It seems to have some dogwood in it?"

Gu Xiang smiled lightly, "People in the capital have very light tastes. I also run a restaurant, but I always hesitate when choosing the taste. Now it seems that the people in the capital can't eat heavy food."

Fang took a look at her, lowered his eyes and bowed his head, and kept silent.

She had a sad face, even Captain Zhang couldn't bear to ask any more questions, Gu Xiang didn't ask any more questions, just looked around casually, and then left with Captain Zhang.

After leaving the door, Inspector Zhang hesitated for a while, and just about to speak, he heard Gu Xiang say: "Ms. Fang has packed her bags and is about to go on a long journey."

Zhang was shocked: "Huh?"

He didn't see anything. In his eyes, everything in the Xue family was as usual.

Gu Xiang said softly: "Ms. Fang let her feet go. She is wearing loose and comfortable shoes now. Not only Mrs. Fang, even the beautiful concubine of the Xue family who is about to be sold has just let her feet go. Kneeling in the mourning hall So is it."

"They let their feet go, I'm afraid they have the intention to travel far away." Gu Xiang turned to look at Xueying, "Let's keep an eye on it. If it is really sold, let's buy it. Since we can see it, it is fate."

Xue Ying responded casually, but turned back to look at Xue's house frequently.

"Ask, is Xue's house for sale?"

Xue Ying really took a fancy to the Xue family's house, "The wine cellar in his house is really well built, and it's firm and tight. It's just right to buy it to build a safe house for the little lady. The house we bought is actually not in a good location. We dug the cellar. Don’t dare to dig too deep, it’s not as good as this place.”

Inspector Zhang quickly closed his eyes, and finally found a chance to speak: "Miss Gu, do you doubt this lady? Xue Shan is dead. As Xue Shan's wife, she still wants to eat Sixi meatballs. I'm afraid it will be to Xue Shan. Mountains are ruthless."

Gu Xiang shook his head: "The investigation of the murder case is the business of your Kaifeng mansion. I just want to find out the relationship between Xue's family and the thief in the capital, and I just want to catch the thief's handle so that I can do it once and for all, so that he can no longer stare at my restaurant looking for me. Trouble."
