Xuanxue boss, she became rich in ancient times by selling houses

Chapter 183 The Strange Case
Unforgettable pain.

Even when Gu Xixi recalled it now, she still felt so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Inside that bag of herb residue, there might be a deadly poison called Duanchang Powder.

only--

How could Gu Yingying have such a thing?

How could she recognize Duanchang Powder?
The details and doubts gradually lingered in Gu Xixi's mind, making her puzzled.

On her side, the pain had just subsided slightly.

Over there, the tooth shop ushered in unexpected guests.

It's Qin Feng, whom I haven't seen for a long time.

Now that Qin Feng is working as a police officer in the government office, on the other hand, he has taken down Mingyue Pavilion and is still doing bone china business.

Naturally, I was so busy that I took turns at both ends.

These days, the imperial envoys from Kyoto are still living in the prefect's mansion in Yanzhou City.

No matter how big or small the official position is, everyone in the government office is on the alert, and no mistakes are allowed.

Of course Qin Feng is no exception.

"Qin Tutou, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what's the matter this time?" Gu Xixi smiled lightly and asked.

Qin Feng smiled helplessly.

Indeed, he came to Gu Xixi over and over again, as if he always asked for something.

"Miss Gu, a bizarre case happened in the west of the city. I would like to ask you to help me take a look." Qin Feng said truthfully.

Gu Xixi nodded.

She said hello to the guys in the dental shop, and then went out with Qin Feng.

As Gu Xixi expected, this case is not only strange, but if it didn't happen recently, it might be regarded as a rumor.

You know, those who can be regarded as rumors in the market are all mysterious.

On the way, Qin Feng briefly described the ins and outs of the case.

Gu Xixi roughly understood something.

This matter has to start from last winter month.

Zhao Laosan made his fortune by doing fur business.

The ancestral skinning skills are extremely exquisite, and it is hard to find a piece of Zhao's fox skin in this ten miles, eight villages and even the entire Yanzhou City.

That's right, what Zhao Laosan sells are all high-quality wild fox skins.

Looking at the selling price of fox fur products, it can range from one hundred taels of silver to more than a thousand taels of silver.

Even one year, he met a pure white fox with no stray hairs. The fur was completely removed and made into high-quality fur, which was directly bought by a wealthy household in Yanzhou City at a high price of three thousand taels of silver.

Contrary to Yaxing, every winter month is the most prosperous time for fur business.

In order to earn more money, Zhao Laosan would go into the mountains around the twelfth lunar month to hunt foxes and skin them.

Last year's snow, like this year, came early, urgently, and heavily.

Taking advantage of the heavy snow that did not close the mountain, Zhao Laosan took the cart and drove to Yanzhou City with his family's rhubarb.

Suddenly, when passing a small hill, the cart sank.

The yellow dog kept barking beside him.

No matter how hard Zhao Laosan tried, he couldn't pull the cart out.

Although the heavy snow did not close the mountain, the road was covered with snow everywhere.

In desperation, he had to clean the snow on the ground.

When the cart wheel appeared, I saw a pair of plain hands holding the cart wheel tightly.

Zhao Laosan continued to sweep away the snow, and saw that buried in the snow was a young and beautiful girl.

That girl's skin is like snow, her black hair reaches her waist, she is so gorgeous.

Zhao Laosan's family is a good man and a believer.

He immediately clasped his hands together and murmured, "Girl, since you and I met, it is because of fate."

"Don't worry, since you let me meet, I will never let you expose your corpse to the wilderness."

"If you don't embarrass me today and return to Yanzhou City, I will definitely bury you richly."

Zhao Laosan thought that the young woman must be a traveler who froze to death in the mountains, she was a poor person.

He put the woman's body on the cart and dragged it all the way back to his home in Yanzhou City.

They are going to find a place to bury the woman, and then burn some paper money.

Unexpectedly, the young woman was warmed and woke up.

The woman said her name was Hu Silk, and she was a poor woman who was abandoned by her husband's family when she was fleeing famine.
Zhao Laosan saw that she was pitiful, and after a brief discussion with his wife Xu Niang, he took Hu Silk in.

Let her be a handyman at home.

This Hu silk was pretty and diligent, and soon won Zhao Laosan's favor.

After going back and forth, the two developed feelings.

Xu Niang, the wife of Zhao Laosan's first wife, has been married to him for many years and has nothing to do.

After discussing with Xu Niang, Zhao Laosan took Hu Silk as a concubine.

At the beginning of spring next year, Hu Si became pregnant.
Xu Niang, whose stomach had not moved, was pregnant at the same time as her.

Zhao Laosan is in the fur business.

It is inevitable to go south and north.

In a year, half of the time is spent away from home.

Even if the two are pregnant at the same time.

All the work at home is done by Hu Silk.

She was originally a handyman taken in by the Zhao family, but now even if she is taken in by Zhao Laosan as a concubine, she will inevitably have to work.

But Xu Niang, after pregnancy, her body became more and more precious.

She lives in seclusion on weekdays and rarely shows up.

Later, the labor was imminent, that is, at the beginning of last month.

Hu Si went to fetch water with a big belly and fell into the well.

That night, Xu Niang gave birth to a baby boy.

Just five days ago, Xu Niang went crazy and threw the baby boy to the ground in front of everyone.

Since then, Xu Niang has been crazy all day long.

Zhao Laosan invited Taoist priests to seal the well into which Hu silk fell into with an exquisite pagoda.

Only then did Xu Niang get better.

When Hu silk fell into the well, no one reported the case to the government.

Later, this matter was probably known by Zhao Laosan's opponent.

Unexpectedly, an anonymous letter came to the government.

For the latter, don't wait for Qin Feng to talk.

Gu Xixi smiled lightly and said what he wanted to say.

"The Taoist priest who practiced things definitely said that Hu Chou is not a human being."

"So in this case, it seems that Zhao Laosan's original wife Xu Niang committed the murder, but in fact she did not."

"Instead, she was the one killed by the evil spirit."

"Qin Butou, am I right?"

Qin Feng nodded, "Just as Miss Gu said."

"So this case is a bit evil."

When the two of them said this, they had already arrived at the gate of the government office.

It happened to meet Ah Si, Chang He and others who came out of the government office. They were all Yamen police officers who often followed Qin Feng.

These two people not only recognize Gu Xixi, but also have a familiar temperament.

"Miss Gu just happened to come, we are going to investigate the case."

The case they were talking about was naturally the same as what Qin Feng was talking about.

Right now, before the imperial envoy leaves, such a situation has occurred in Yanzhou City.

If you don't check to find out the truth, it will be difficult to explain to the above.

"If you want me to say, Zhao Laosan really picks the time to find trouble. Where can there be any normal women in the deep mountains?"

"Ordinary people fleeing famine, who can walk the mountain road?"

"In my opinion, what I told the neighbors on the left and right is correct. That Hu Si may have been transformed by a vixen, and he came to the Zhao family to seek revenge."

Ah Si has been busy with this case for the past two days, so he didn't even set foot in the house.

Speaking of this case, I was full of resentment.

Chang He tugged at the corner of his clothes and said seriously:

"Don't talk nonsense about such ghosts and ghosts."

"Let Miss Gu read it before we talk about it."
