The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing nodded and said: "Yes, so relying on the current clues alone, it is impossible to find out the real poisoner."

Yao Shaoyin glanced at her, called Cheng Xianbai over, and said, "I just heard from Cheng Langjun that four of the six people are Cheng Langjun's people, and Cheng Langjun should know their situation better. "

Although he did not let Xu Jing get involved in this case, he did not show any official authority in front of Cheng Xianbai and changed his self-identification to "I", which already gave Xu Jing a lot of face.

Cheng Xianbai nodded immediately and said: "Yes, I brought them here from Anping County. An He and Su Youwang were street children in Anping County before. They were very smart and had a good heart. They helped me a long time ago. I did some work to find out information. Later, Xinglin Hall needed help, so I asked them to come over and help.

Chen Ruosheng and Zhang Ye were introduced to me by a friend of mine. Chen Ruosheng's grandfather was a doctor and could recognize some medicinal materials and read prescriptions. Zhang was also literate. Previously, his mother had always hoped that he could obtain a doctorate, so Hua I put a lot of effort into helping him study, but he was not good at studying. He knew my friend and knew that I wanted to find someone to work with, so he asked my friend to recommend him to me. I thought they were both good, so I accepted them both. . "

Yao Shaoyin said: "Then do you think the four of them are people who would do such a thing?"

Cheng Xianbai hesitated.

To be honest, he believed that he had no grievances against them. They suddenly poisoned their medicine soup. It was probably not a personal grudge, but someone who bribed him.

Cheng Xianbai was able to call them to Xijing to help, so he felt that they were trustworthy, but he had only been with them for a few months, and he was not completely sure whether they would betray him in the face of huge interests.

He pursed his lips bitterly, shook his head and said, "I...I don't know either."

He couldn't help but think of the Zhou family of Tianyi Pavilion. His father was killed because his father's attendant betrayed them.

He can't even trust the people who have been with him all year round, let alone the people from Anhe who have only been with him for a few months.

Being betrayed by the people around you is the most unexpected thing and the hardest thing to guard against.

Yao Shaoyin nodded understandingly and said: "I will send people to check the recent situation of these people to see if there is anything abnormal. I will also send people to follow them in the past few days. Cheng Langjun, Doctor Wei, I am really sorry, because You are also suspects now, and I will send people to follow you."

He is not Wang Qilang, so he will not take people back to the government office casually, but he still needs to send someone to monitor them.

Generally speaking, they would not tell the person who was to be monitored about this matter. Yao Shaoyin was willing to ventilate his feelings with Cheng Xianbai and Wei Muqing first to give Xu Jing face.

Of course, this was also due to some intuition that he had been doing criminal investigation for many years. He had an intuition that Cheng Xianbai and Wei Muqing were not the poisoners. After all, they had no motive for committing the crime.

As expected, the Yamen sent by Yao Shaoyin to search the six persons found nothing.

After that, they did some follow-up work. Yao Shaoyin took the lead and sent the patients who were not in good condition to other medical centers for treatment. Xinglin Hall was responsible for the medical expenses, and then asked everyone to go home and wait for news.

Because of this incident, Xinglin Hall has to temporarily close its store for rectification. Fortunately, the free clinic period of the first three days has passed. Now there are many fewer patients coming to their Xinglin Hall than in the previous three days. The closing of the store will not have a big impact. .

But in the final analysis, this incident was a big blow to their Xinglin Hall.

Before going back, Xu Jing's face darkened, she called Cheng Xiao, and said in a cold voice: "Send someone to investigate the recent situation of those six people. They have all seen someone, or have any income from unknown sources. "

Yao Shaoyin gave her face again and said that she would not be allowed to interfere in this case, so she would not be allowed to interfere.

She could only check this information herself.

After working at the city gate all afternoon, when Xu Jing returned home, it was completely dark.

She got out of the carriage tiredly. Before walking back to her yard, she hesitated for a moment, turned to the guard on the side and asked, "Is Mr. Wang back?"

The guard immediately straightened his back and said, "Reporting to Madam, your husband entered the palace early this morning and has not come back yet." Xu Jing frowned slightly.

She knew that Xiao Yi was very busy recently.

But he has always been busy in the Ministry of Punishment, and it is rare to stay in the palace all day long.

But now that he's not here, she can't ask him, so she can only go back to the yard to rest.

She had traveled all day and all night, and had been busy for so long in the afternoon. She was really exhausted beyond words. Even Xiao Huaian, who was excited because she was back, was very obedient and did not pester her. He just finished dinner with her. He went back to his yard obediently.

In the middle of the night, Xu Jing, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly vaguely felt someone getting onto the bed carefully next to her. A familiar and pleasant fresh breath hit her face, making her heart become calmer. She subconsciously stretched out one hand. He walked over, grabbed the visitor's sleeve, and said vaguely: "You're back..."

The visitor seemed to chuckle deeply, and carefully took her hand away to avoid pressing her. After lying down next to her, he took her hand over, intertwined his fingers, and rubbed his palm gently, The other hand took her into his arms and whispered: "Well, I'm back. You must be very tired today, so rest first."

Xu Jing actually had a lot of things she wanted to ask him, but she was really tired. Soothed by the familiar breath and temperature, she fell asleep again after a while.

When she got up the next day, the bed next to her was empty.

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Since the Chinese New Year, she and Xiao Yi have always been like this. The two of them are busy outside all day long. Many times, she goes to sleep, and Xiao Yi comes back. When she wakes up, he goes out again, and the two of them can Opportunities to sit down for a good meal and talk are few and far between.

I don’t know how many couples in the world are like them.

If this continues, let alone the birth of Changxiao's younger sister, they won't have time to cultivate a relationship between husband and wife.

Realizing that her thoughts were skewed, Xu Jing quickly pulled back and got out of bed to wash and dress.

Her performance today was normal, but Chunyang and the others couldn't hide the anxiety and uneasiness on their faces.

The Xijing branch of Xinglin Hall, which their wives had been busy with for so long, was forced to close for rectification. It was conceivable that this incident would have a great impact on the reputation of Xinglin Hall. They couldn't calm down when they thought about this. Come down.

That is to say, she is a madam, and she can still think about what to do.

In fact, Xu Jing is not in a hurry, but there is no point in rushing about this matter. All she can do now is wait for Cheng Xiao to send her the information about the six people.

Until the afternoon, Cheng Xiao finally strode over, saluted Xu Jing and said: "Madam, the people sent by the villain to check those six people have just sent news.

Our people did not find out that they had recent income from unknown sources or huge expenses.

The four people Cheng Langjun brought came to Xijing around the beginning of January. Cheng Langjun rented a yard for them near the edge of Xijing and placed all four of them in it. They stayed there during the day. Being busy with Xinglintang affairs, he has little opportunity to interact with outsiders. This can be testified by other clerks in Xinglintang.

After they returned home in the evening, they didn't go out much because they were not familiar with Xijing. That is to say, Zhang Langjun went out more often because he likes drinking. He usually went to a nearby tavern to have a few drinks. Ours I asked the waiters in several pubs where he often went, and they all said that Zhang Langjun often came alone and occasionally talked to other guests in the pub.

As for Li Shiheng and Shi Wenfeng, because they are from Tianyi Hall, they have been working in Tianyi Hall before, and they were transferred to Xinglin Hall to help out more than half a month ago. As for whether they have been in contact with suspicious people recently, it is difficult to find out, because they rent a house in Xijing by themselves, and Mr. Zhou’s family will give them a certain rental subsidy, so when they go home at night, basically no one knows about them What have you done and who have you been in contact with? "

Xu Jing's brows could not help but frown slowly.

Rent your own house?
