son-in-law

Chapter 14 Bloody Case

After leaving Sun's tailor shop, Su Yucai unfolded the note and looked at it. There was a small line written on it, "I am not a peddler."

Perhaps in order to avoid being recognized by others, the handwriting was deliberately written in a crooked manner.

"What does it mean?"

Su Yu kneaded the paper into a ball, and inadvertently crushed the paper into powder with his fingertips.

At this time, Xiao Huan turned her head sharply and said, "Grandpa, there are a lot of people gathered in front of the pancake shop, maybe something happened. Shall we go and see..., eh? What did my aunt grind into powder? Wow, it turns out that my aunt Such strength!"

When Xiao Huan interrupted her thoughts, Su Yu shook her hands, and the scraps of paper on her fingertips went with the wind, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be surprised, I don't have such strength. It's just because this note is crudely made, so Squeeze it, and it will look like this."

"Where did my uncle get the note?"

"Uh... so it's in my pocket."

Xiao Huan was curious: "What did you write?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

Xiao Huan only thought that Su Yu was good-tempered, but she didn't expect to be choking.

The little girl was hurt in her heart, she pouted suddenly, and said with a look of wanting to cry, "Young master bullies people."

"I just bullied you, what's the matter?" Su Yu said with a smirk.

The little maid looked up at Su Yu, suddenly smiled shyly, and stopped talking.

The two walked towards the pancake shop one after the other. There were many people gathered here, looking into the room.

Su Yu stood on the outside, listened to other people's gossip, and learned that there was an armed fight in the pancake shop just now, and the attack was quite ruthless.

Su Yu was tall and tall, and could vaguely see what was going on inside from the outside, but Xiao Huan was submerged in the crowd.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, my uncle wants to go in and have a look." In the crowd, Xiao Huan pushed others away.

The hierarchy system in Qinghuafang is strict, even though they are all from the clan of the Tang clan, there are high and low levels.The first level is Anguogong Mansion (Tang Zhen's East Mansion) and Ninghou Mansion (Tang Ning's West Mansion); the second level is Princess Mansion (Tang Linger) and Xianbo Mansion (the third master Tang Xian is dead, his son Tang Xiong inherits the title); the third level is the three generals' mansions.The three generals of the Tang family have outstanding military exploits and a great reputation.They are the God of War Qi Dongyang who "raided thousands of miles to kill the Hunyu Da Shanyu Meng Hedan" in the first battle of Shence, and the famous Hexi general Dian who "defended Jiuquan with [-] soldiers alone and resisted [-] Hu soldiers for half a year" , and Li Heng, the ever-victorious general who "has never been defeated in the six years of the Anti-Japanese War."

The people in these seven houses can't afford to offend them, even if they are servants, they always walk with their heads high.

The rest of the mortal beings can only look up to it.

This little Huan comes from the princess' mansion, and she is usually used to being arrogant.In front of her, these guys blocking the way are very ignorant.She pushed left and right, not afraid to annoy others.

If Xiao Huan traveled by herself, she would probably restrain herself a bit, but now that she is traveling with the county horse, her momentum immediately rises, which seems to be a fake tiger's prestige.

Seeing that the usually well-behaved little maid would bully others, Su Yu suddenly felt a sense of joy.

After Xiao Huan pushed away all the people blocking the way, Su Yu said slowly: "Xiao Huan, you are not busy, don't push and push, it will be bad if you damage the elderly and children. I can squeeze in by myself."

When everyone heard that this was Ma Suyu, the county lord's mansion, they couldn't help but take a second look, there were many who admired his beauty, and others who admired his kindness.

Separated from the crowd and came inside, Su Yu saw a terrifying scene.

I saw a woman lying in a pool of blood. Looking carefully, her throat had been cut open with a sharp weapon, and her neck and chest were covered with blood.

Seeing that there was blood everywhere on the floor in the room, and there were splashes of blood on the wall, it was obvious that the woman was still fighting with others after being seriously injured.

Until she died, she still held the knife in her hand, and the knife was stained with blood.

It seems that the person who fought her was also injured.

By all indications, the struggle was brutal.Xiao Huan was afraid, so she hid behind Su Yu and said tremblingly, "Isn't this the pancake woman?"

"Well, it's her."

At this time, beside the woman's body, there were already people from the Fangshi Government Office standing there, maintaining order, waiting for the county magistrate to come over for an autopsy.At the same time, the people in charge of the Tang clan also rushed over one after another. Su Yu felt that it was unnecessary for him to stay here, so he withdrew.His face was a little ugly.

Walking out of the pancake shop, Su Yu suddenly thought of something, and said in his heart: "I remember I once said to the man in black, 'Usually you hide in Qinghuafang under disguise, maybe you are a blacksmith who blacksmiths, or maybe you are a peddler. Peddler'. Now he leaves a note saying he's not a peddler. What does he mean..."

"Xiao Huan, how many blacksmith shops are there in Qinghuafang?"

"Two. One is next to the East Mansion, and the other is next to the West Mansion."

"This is relatively close to the West Mansion, let's go and have a look."

"Why did my uncle go to the blacksmith's shop? And it's also the blacksmith's shop in Xifu."

"Talking again."

Xiao Huan suddenly became aggrieved: "My uncle told Xiao Huan, I need to remind you more, and said that Xiao Huan is a clever ghost, but now my uncle said that Xiao Huan is talkative. And my uncle always said that he had time to watch the family law , but my uncle never read it either. Miss was not at home yesterday and didn’t ask about it, if she asked today, Xiao Huan wouldn’t know what to say.”

Su Yu was stunned, and quickly apologized with a smile: "Just say it, obviously I asked Xiao Huan to remind me more, but now I tell Xiao Huan the other way around. I really wronged Xiao Huan. So let me apologize to you. Look, There are candied haws over there, I'll buy you the biggest one."

"Hee hee." The little girl said happily, "Don't want the biggest one, just the small one."

"No, I must buy the big one, because I want to eat it too."

"Oh... so my uncle didn't buy it specially for Xiao Huan."

"Um... how about it?"

"Uncle is bullying again."

Su Yu has always been generous, how could he really only buy one bunch.

He casually picked up two of the largest skewers, with sesame seeds on top, and this was the kind that the little maids couldn't usually afford.

The little maids all hide their private money and live frugally, only planning for their future life.There are also many little maids like Xiao Huan and Feng Yu who subsidize their parents' lives.Even if you are greedy, you rarely spend money to reward the Wu Zang Temple.

This time I ate the best one, the little maid did not gobble it up, but chewed it carefully.Increase the time that delicious food stays in your mouth.

Seeing the little maid like this, Su Yu also left the remaining half root to her.

It ended up being eaten up by her.

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

From afar, I heard the sound of iron being struck in the blacksmith's shop.

Xiao Huan curiously said: "Master, Xiao Huan is going to talk too much again. You are from the East Mansion, but you go to the West Mansion to buy things. You will be criticized."

"I didn't say that I must buy it." Su Yu said kindly, "I just came to see it."

"What's so interesting about a blacksmith's shop?"

"Well... I want to buy a set of manicure knives."

The little servant girl asked in a dazed manner, "What kind of sword is that set? My uncle wants to practice sword skills? Doesn't my uncle know how to use a sword?"

Su Yu smiled wryly: "Doesn't your lady use it? It's the kind of Xiuzhen's small scissors, small razors, small lentils, small clip knives, small poking knives and so on."

"Oh, that thing is readily available in Jixiang Street."

"I don't like those, I'm going to buy the steel ones."

"Oh? My uncle's nails are hard?"

"...Well, it's tough."
