Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 143
"How long have they been arguing last night?" Su Yizhao asked, rubbing his fingers.

"I listened to it for half an hour. Yao kept talking about this matter over and over again. During the period, he even complained about some trivial matters. They were all trivial. I fell asleep when I heard that I was really sleepy later."

"That is to say, more than half an hour? Have you been arguing for so long?"

Su Yizhao felt that since such a commotion should not be small!The cabins on the other side and those on the opposite side may also be able to hear the movement.

"I'm tired of listening to the deck, and that's all I've heard."

The woman fumbled with the curling bottle and refused to let it go, so the loyal uncle behind Su Yizhao stared at it, thinking in his heart that the woman was so ignorant.

According to Su Yizhao's analysis, the voices of Master Du and his wife were not loud, and they were sleepy, so the others might not have heard anything.

After a while, the woman thought of another thing, clapped her hands and said, "Oh! By the way, I also heard her mention her dowry shop, saying that her natal family bought a dowry shop for her in the capital and had dozens of acres of fertile land. .”

"Master Du once persuaded her to take it out as an emergency, but she refused. In the end, the money turned over and the business failed. For this reason, Master Du complained to her several times, saying that it was her fault that the business failed. , started arguing again."

"Did your master hear anything?" Su Yizhao asked about the woman's husband again, maybe her husband could have some clues.

"My master slept soundly at night, how could he hear anything? There was a quarrel during the day before, and the master happened to go to the deck with other boat passengers to watch the river view. I heard the quarrel and came back and told the master."

The woman pinched the handkerchief while talking, "Master also advised me not to worry about the other family's affairs, hey! If I hadn't seen you as handsome and cute, I wouldn't have told you. Don't tell Master Du about this, so as not to tell me behind my back. Taoists are right and wrong."

Su Yizhao replied vaguely, and then asked the woman what else she had heard, but the woman shook her head and didn't think of anything else.

"Little son, I think your father and son are from a big family in the capital, right? What does your family do for a living? Is there someone in your family who is an official? Did the elders make you an engagement?"

After the questioning, the woman did not leave in a hurry, but pulled Su Yizhao to ask about her family background.

Su Yizhao couldn't help but smile, she was only nine years old!This woman is going to miss her?
"I have had childhood sweethearts since I was a child." In order to get rid of her entanglement, Su Yizhao had to make up a lie.

The woman immediately understood when she heard the words, her face was full of regret.

"My family has a little girl who is about the same age as you, and she is also cute as Yuxue. The two of you are a perfect match! Alas! What a pity!"

"As the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, how can the younger generation surpass the elders and talk about marriage with others in private? Auntie should not make fun of me!"

Su Yizhao sent out the woman who wanted to talk too much, and it was the woman's husband who came in next.

Su Yizhao asked about his situation, and it was indeed as the woman said, the man didn't know anything about the couple at all, and his limited understanding came from the woman's mouth.

He also questioned the man in the other cabin of Master Du and his wife, but there was no valuable clue.

The cabin opposite lived in a young couple who had just married. They were newlyweds, and they didn't care about other people's affairs at all.

After questioning all the passengers, Su Yizhao sorted out the records and found that the woman provided the most clues.

She took out Master Du's confession and carefully read it several times. After thinking about it for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to her mind.

She got up and was about to go to find Mr. Yang, but she found that her sleeves were sinking, and she was very pleasantly surprised.

"Xiangsi, you finally woke up?" Su Yizhao finally let go of his heart when he saw a small head protruding from his sleeve.

"Sleeping for too long, I don't even bother to move, how did we get on the boat?" Xiangsi looked around and asked curiously.

"I'll explain this to you later, there is something important now, please help."

"I started oppressing me as soon as I woke up, are you still a human?" Xiang Si was so angry that she blew her beard and stared.

"It turns out that my lord is also of the same kind. The student had previously obtained a copy of Ouyang's original work, Spring Sleeping Picture."

In the room, Su Wenqing was enthusiastically pulling Mr. Yang to talk.

"Oh? So it's Mr. Su who has to go? I heard that the Spring Sleeping Picture was auctioned that day, and one person spent a lot of money. So it's Mr. Su!" Mr. Yang said in surprise.

Spend a lot of money?Whoa!Sifang was frugal, was looked down upon by others, but this father was spending a lot of money?
Su Yizhao snorted coldly in her heart, when she found the picture of sleeping in spring, she would definitely sell it for money.

I heard that my grandfather often subsidized Su Wenqing in private, so it was true.But this scumbag only cared about his own enjoyment, and he didn't care about the other people in the fourth room at all!

Just now Master Yang handed over the inquiry to Su Yizhao, unexpectedly the two of them drank tea leisurely here.

Only Su Yizhao and shopkeeper Zhou were the ones suffering. Not only did shopkeeper Zhou urge the boatman to hurry up, but he also had to call the thugs on board to get ready in case there was an attack from the gangsters.

Su Yizhao had to sigh, these two people are really calm!
"My lord! The inquiry is over, the students have sorted it out a little bit, please take a look!"

Su Yizhao offered the paper in his hand, glanced at Su Wenqing, and found that he also moved his head to take aim.

"Did you find any clues?" Mr. Yang felt dizzy when he noticed a stack of papers in his hand, so he simply asked.

"The junior has gone through it roughly, and there is one point that is very suspicious. It is up to you to decide."

"Oh? Please elaborate, young master."

After Mr. Yang talked with Su Wenqing just now, he knew the identities of the two, but he didn't change because the two were just concubines. On the contrary, his attitude was more polite than before.

In fact, Su Yizhao knew in his heart that the third-rank officials were very intimidating in the local area.Although she and the scumbag father are concubines, their family backgrounds are not bad.

"I have already asked other passengers, and only Mrs. Quan, who is next door to Mr. Du, knows anything about them."

Master Yang nodded when he heard the words, motioned for Su Yizhao to sit down and said.

Some time ago, Su Yizhao was caught by his aunt to make up for the etiquette, so he didn't dare to sit down, and then he explained in detail what Mrs. Quan said to Master Yang.

"So, the reason for the quarrel between his husband and wife was the failure of his business?" Master Yang said thoughtfully.

"That's true! Master Du even got into an argument with Mrs. Quan because Mrs. Quan refused to take out the dowry to make up for it." Su Yizhao nodded.

"In this way, this Master Du is very motivated! Maybe he resented Mrs. Quan for not giving out the dowry, and he was resentful, and then Mrs. Quan found out that he had mortgaged the house and shop, and was afraid that he would be looked down upon by his father-in-law's family when he went back. Pain the killer?"

Su Wenqing also started guessing, he felt that Master Du was very suspicious from the beginning to the end.
