Chapter 246
When Bellflower arrived in Linzhao County, it was already ten days after the poisoning.She didn't find a place to live when she arrived, so she and Kidou first came to the county government office to inquire about Fang's interrogation.

Seeing that she was willing to enter his yamen again, Ma Xingren felt that Fang's poisoning this time was a good one, otherwise he would not have this opportunity to ease the relationship with Qiao Jigeng, so he invited her to the hall to serve tea very graciously, saying : "Xianggu, to tell you the truth, this Fang's mouth is really tough, we didn't hit him lightly, she just insisted that this case was done by herself, and she has no accomplices, because she is yours after all. Stepmother, I didn't dare to use those extreme tortures on her, I wanted to wait until you came, otherwise if you beat her to death, Xiangu, if you ask me for someone again, I can't make her live."

Kikyo thought for a while, since that's the case, it's all right, anyway, I know it must be Li Sheng, and now that there is no dead person, the Fang family can't be sentenced to capital punishment here, but when it comes to Li Sheng's place, the sentence will be even lighter, so it's better to act cheaply.

He thought about it and said: "In this case, let's forget it. After all, she is also my brother's mother, and I can't do anything to her in secret. It's up to Master Ma to figure out how to deal with her. Don't look at me, just look at the law of the country." , how to judge how to judge."

Ma Xingren tentatively said: "Hey, if you are really judged, you will be exiled to the frontier. The journey is far away, and no one knows what will happen. It is really hard to say whether he will live or die."

Ji Jiao held the tea bowl, without raising her eyelids, said, "Whatever you want."

"Okay, then follow Xiangu's wishes."

It was getting late after inquiring about Mrs. Fang, so she took Kidney Dou out of the government office to find a place to live.

The reason why I didn’t bring Zanthoxylum bungeanum and kidney beans this time is because Zanthoxylum bungeanum can help the eldest sister arrange marriage for the second sister when she is at home, and the other Zanthoxylum bungeanum is grown up after all. My own secret, not as small as kidney beans, easy to fool.And now that the scars on Kidney Dou's face are gone, and her personality is brighter, she just took this opportunity to let her come out to meet more people and experience more things. She doesn't want her sisters to stay at home with their husbands and children, and live a life dependent on men , in case you don't get married in the future, you have the courage to come out and live your own life.

The two of them walked back and forth, and came to an inn where Bellflower and Zanthoxylum bungeanum used to live, but they didn't go in, but they saw a notice of foreign exchange posted on the door of the inn.

Kikyo walked in with Kidney Dou, and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, is your shop still operating normally?"

The shopkeeper quickly replied: "Just do it, the two girls are staying in the shop?"

Kikyo said: "Live, just open a room for the two of us."

"okay."

While answering, the shopkeeper took the door number plates for the two of them.

Kikyo asked: "Shopkeeper, I remember that your store's business is doing well, why do you want to sell it outside?"

The shopkeeper glanced to both sides, saw that the waiters were not around, and said in a low voice: "Oh, Miss, I don't know, but the business of this inn is still decent. Although it doesn't make a lot of money, there is always some fixed income every month. It's just us The boss can't do it. It was okay when the old boss was there, and someone took care of it. In the past two years, the hometown is gone. The young boss eats, drinks, whores and gambles. Seeing that the family's fortune is getting worse, and the family has no money, so they call this shop. Come up, I owed a gambling debt a while ago, so I have to sell the shop to pay off the debt, do you think there is such a disaster? Alas, you came at a coincidence, just posted it, it’s okay, don’t worry It's fine to stay in the store, and you can't just sell it out during the two days you live..."

Kikyo stood there and thought for a while, then said: "Shopkeeper, can you reveal the notice first, I want to talk to your boss, if he is willing, I want to buy this store."

The shopkeeper looked at her with strange eyes, looked up and down for a long time, and said: "Oh, I remembered you, you seem to have lived in our store before, and you have a sister who looks like you."

Kikyo said: "The shopkeeper has a good memory, it's us."

Only then did the shopkeeper feel relieved, and said: "It's fine if it's you. If other girls say this, I really can't believe it, but I heard that you opened a medicine store on the back of the street, and the business is very good. That's our store. So it’s pretty much the same, okay, I’ll go and publish the notice and let the guys tell the owner that the buyer is here.”

Kikyo said: "Okay, but I still have to open this room. Whether it succeeds or not, I still want to live in this store."

The shopkeeper said: "OK, please go upstairs. When the boss arrives, I will let the guy find you."

Kikyo and Kidou came upstairs and entered their room, Kidou asked strangely: "Sister San, why didn't you say before that this time you are here to redeem the shop?"

Kikyo said: "I didn't think about cashing it before, didn't I see it, and every time we come to Linguang County, we have to find an inn to live in, and we always feel unsafe. It would be fine if we bought it ourselves, everything is Ours is the same as our own."

Kidney Dou said, "I wanted to ask you just now, why don't you stay at our pharmacy?"

Kikyo said: "The pharmacy recruited a few clerks and took up all the old houses. We went to the clerks, but there was no place to live. Why don't we open another store? Wouldn't we also have an extra business?"

Kidney Dou thought for a while and nodded, "That's true. In the future, when our family comes to the county, everyone who comes and goes will have a place to live. We will manage other shops as well, so it won't matter if there are more of them... "

The two sisters talked for a while, and then the owner of the inn came, and Kikyo talked with him for a while, and saw that this guy was indeed a prodigal, and he was still squinting, staring at himself.

Kikyo was worried that he was unreliable, so after discussing the price with him and asking him to go to the Yamen tomorrow to make a contract and complete the transaction under the witness of the official, the boss saw that she seemed to be very familiar with the Yamen, so he restrained himself a little and talked about it. After paying the price, he left angrily.

After he left, Kikyo and Kidou rested. After Kidou fell asleep, Kikyo got up and checked the situation in the inn clearly. Seeing that there were no bad people in the inn, he locked the doors and windows of his and Kidou's rooms from the inside. died, and then left the inn to look for Li Sheng.

She first went to the hut where Li Sheng used to live, and saw that the owner had already changed there, so she came to Jitong Medicine Store again, to see if Li Sheng happened to be on duty at night.

But she came at an unfortunate time, it was not Li Sheng who was on duty tonight, but two other people.

She was watching in the dark, trying to find out about Li Sheng's situation, but one of them complained to the other: "Brother Xu, do you think our chief manager is blind? Let someone like Li Sheng manage the medicine warehouse. The tiger bones that entered the warehouse a few days ago were obviously [-] catties and [-] taels, but after a few days they were sold, they became [-] catties and [-] taels. Ask him and he will stare. It is said that the wind killed the scale, can the tiger bone still lose the scale? Even if it loses so much?”
