Daming female push officer

Chapter 23 Is it him?

"Yun... the pawn." Xiao Liu, who ran to the front, stopped in front of the two of them, and the three wooden plaques hanging around his waist dangled and jingled.

He bent down slightly, took a few breaths, and then straightened up.Her immature face was flushed, and the tip of her nose was dripping with sweat in the cold weather. It seemed that she had run a lot.

Only then did Yunxi see his appearance clearly.At the age of fifteen or sixteen, his stature is only a little taller than hers, around 175 by visual estimation.Her skin was the same as that of Yin Sanyu's, with a slightly darker color due to years of sun exposure.Standard big eyes and double eyelids, nose and mouth are small and exquisite, with a kind of girlish delicacy, but also a bit childish and innocent, he is a very beautiful boy.

A sinister thought suddenly flashed across Yunxi's mind.

Such a handsome and beautiful young man served Yin Sanyu intimately before and after him.

Then Yin Sanyu is separated from everyone, but to him... Could it be that this is the kind of beautiful boy mentioned in Dream of the Red Chamber?
Yunxi raised her head and squinted at the visitor pretending to be profound, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Liu looked more and more cramped, and lowered his head again, "Yintou knew that the two torture chambers would be in a hurry to use the horse, so he taught Xiao Liu to prepare it in advance."

Yunxi was a little surprised and glanced at Yunnan.

Can a weasel pay New Year greetings to a chicken?
Yunnan, on the other hand, kept staring at Xiao Liu with an unpredictable expression.She smiled coldly, but did not answer.

"Yintou just has a bad temper..." Seeing that the two should not respond, Xiao Liu explained anxiously: "Yintou...he is not a bad...bad person."

Yunxi turned her face away, stared straight at him, and said mockingly: "Well, he's not a bad guy, he's been bullied so much that he can't bully him anymore, I'm the one who hasn't jumped into the well yet."

Xiao Liu raised his head suddenly, anxious and ashamed, he waved his hands, tears were rolling in his big eyes, "Xiao Liu didn't mean that! Girl, don't blame me, Xiao Liu just sent a horse here for the girl, really no other meanings,"

Yunxi raised his eyebrows and watched coldly, trying to figure out his reason for coming.

But no matter what the reason for coming, this guy's acting skills are top-notch.

"What's your name?" Yunnan's gentle voice sounded suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Liuyi was stunned for a moment, he paused for a while, then lowered his head, and whispered a little shyly, "Deng Hong."

"Your family still has brothers?" Yunnan asked again.

"I'm the only child, and I'm sixth in the big rankings, so everyone calls me Xiao Liu." Xiao Liu replied shyly with his head down.

"Does Yin Sanyu want you to investigate the case with us?" Yunan suddenly increased his tone.

Xiao Liu suddenly raised his head and looked at Yunnan with surprise on his face, "How did you know?"

Yunxi snorted coldly in his heart, it turned out that he wanted to monitor their progress.

how?Still want to grab class and seize power?
Yunnan didn't answer, but turned to Yunxi and said, "Yunxi, do you know where the stable is?"

Yunxi hummed, pulled off the three wooden plaques from Xiaoliu's waist, and held them in his hands, with a half-smile.

There are three horse cards hanging from his waist, and his intentions are clear at a glance.

Yunnan asked her to pick up the horse to prevent the horse from being tampered with, and she chose to arrange it to avoid accidents as much as possible.

Yunxi took two steps forward, then withdrew, and gave Xiao Liu a wicked smile, "Do you have dry food on you?"

Up to now, she hasn't even had breakfast, and the kitchen hasn't opened for lunch, so it might be dark when she comes back from going out.Looking at the young man's cleanliness, the food should not be too dirty.

"Oh!" Xiao Liu hurriedly took a bag from his waist, "Yes, my mother will bring me some dry food every day."

It was a small blue cloth pouch, from which Xiao Liu took out a small cotton pouch, pure white in color, embroidered with a few bamboos, emerald green and straight, very delicate, it looked very clean and elegant.

When Yun saw him, his complexion couldn't help but darken. He didn't need to eat, and because of the tight time of the case, and the evil thing happened again in the morning, he ignored Yun Xi's feelings.

She was actually a child, perhaps, he was too harsh on her.

Yunxi took the food bag, opened it, and his expression changed.

All dried sweet potatoes!
Could this be Yin Sanyu's mobile food box?
Xiao Liu thought that she disliked the uncleanness of dried sweet potatoes, so he hurriedly said: "My mother loves to be clean, and the dried sweet potatoes she dried had to be scalded in hot water and cleaned several times."

After all, it wasn't hanging on Yin Sanyu's body, Yunxi took out a few sweet potatoes, put them in his food bag, threw the green bamboo cotton bag back to Xiao Liu, and ran away in a hurry.

Xiao Liu yelled, and hurriedly took both hands, for fear that the food bag would fall and get dirty.

Yunnan stepped up and walked towards the side door of the county government. If Yunxi chose a horse, he would definitely wait for him there.

Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment, then followed with his saber in hand.

When Yunxi took the horse, the three hurried towards Caojiazhuang.

Passing by the market, crowded with people, the three of them slowed down and passed one by one.

There are various shops on both sides of the street, there are steaming steamed bun stalls; there are braised boiled shops surrounded by diners in front of square tables; there are also candied haws held high by shopkeepers in the street. be envious.

In particular, the hot and fragrant taste of one of the mutton buns is the most attractive, and Yunxi can only feel his saliva pouring into his belly.

"Let's go after dinner, you won't be free all day."

Yunnan's voice was very soft, but both Yunxi and Xiaoliu could hear it very clearly. Yunxi jumped off the horse first, took a seat in a corner, and sat down carelessly.Xiao Liu happily followed up.

Seeing the two of them eating steamed stuffed buns, Yunnan, who was sitting against the wall, asked indifferently: "Is there really nothing we can do to hunt down Mrs. Li?"

Xiao Liu picked up another hot steamed bun and nodded solemnly, "After ordering Mao, Mr. Fu issued a death order to the arresting squad, and it was reported that Mrs. Li returned to the Yamen immediately to identify the body. Yin Tou took me and didn't even eat breakfast. But when I arrived at Lijiazhuang, I found out that Mrs. Li had disappeared last night, and her mother didn't know where she had gone. I asked the neighbors, even the temple at the head of the village, but there was no trace. I also asked about the rest of the place. , with no clues."

"Yin Sanyu will also be interested?" Yunxi said mockingly after taking a sip of the noodle soup.

Xiao Liu put down the steamed stuffed bun, lowered his eyebrows, and said softly: "Although Yintou doesn't do anything, he is the one who really does things in the yamen. He just has a bad temper. Maybe it's because he was too anxious and tired in the morning, so he treats the girl... "It became more and more difficult for him to say, "Yintou has never been like this before, although..." He finally couldn't continue.

Yunxi really wanted to curse, but the enemy was in the dark, and I was in the light, and there was nothing to argue with a small follower.

Hit a snake and hit seven inches, and catch the king diligently.

"Has Mrs. Li been out of Caojiazhuang before?" Yunnan continued to ask.

"We also checked this, and nothing happened. Before the accident, Mrs. Li seemed to be grounded by Lu De for some reason. Even the neighbor Jia Si may not be able to see Mrs. Li's face."

"Oh?" Yunxi also became curious, "How long is the restraint?"

"Three or four months, then Lu Decai is quite inhuman." Xiao Liu wrinkled his nose.

Another three months.

Yunxi was shocked.

"Is there a medicine shop in Caojiazhuang?" Yunnan asked.

"There is one." Xiaoliu nodded, "there is a lot of medicine! There are many good medicines near the mountains and forests, and they are cheap. I often go there to get medicine for my mother. When we go to Lu Decai's house, we will pass by first. That pharmacy."

Yunnan frowned, "Besides that, where is the nearest medicine shop?"

"That's far away, we have to go to our county."

Yunan stood up abruptly, and walked out the door with big strides.

Xiao Liu wondered, "Where are you going?"

Yunxi settled the bill and replied, "Drug store."

After another journey, the three of them finally arrived at the Caojiazhuang Pharmacy.

Because it is located in a mountain village, it is surrounded by white snow, and the snow on the road is not cleaned like in the city. It is a thick layer and the bottom is frozen.

Reining in the horse in Yunnan, standing at the intersection of the crossroads, looking at a thatched hut beside the road that was smoking.

"It's here." Xiao Liu said with certainty.

Yunxi followed Yunnan's line of sight and saw that this was an important road in Caojiazhuang, and pedestrians could not avoid passing through here.

"Treasurer Cao!" Xiao Liu yelled, got off his horse and walked into the house.

The wooden door creaked open, revealing a man's face.

In his 40s, his hair is half white, but he is born with a very simple spirit.

After explaining his purpose, shopkeeper Cao warmly welcomed the three of them into the house.

A house is divided into three rooms, and the outermost room has shelves made up of medicine boxes on both walls.

Smelling the somewhat bitter medicinal fragrance that filled the room, Yunxi looked around at the furnishings in the room.In the middle is a stove, and in front of the stove is a counter with a few stools under it.

The three were allowed to sit down.Yunxi took the hot water from the shopkeeper and asked, "Does the shopkeeper have drugs that can cause unconsciousness?"

"Yes, there are." The shopkeeper nodded.

"Has that ever been sold?"

Shopkeeper Cao said with certainty, "No."

"Not in the last three or four months?"

Shopkeeper Cao thought for a while before saying, "No."

Yunxi asked anxiously, "Why are you so sure?"

"Drugs are not commonly used drugs. Although I have them at home, there are not many of them. I wanted to sell them to the county town last month, but I didn't want to take them out to have a look. They have been accidentally contaminated by children in the family, so I remember them very clearly."

Yunxi looked at Yunnan in disappointment. If Li Huiniang hadn't bought the drug here, it would be difficult to find the source elsewhere, and the chain of evidence to infer her guilt would be missing another link.

"Didn't the Lu family or Jia Si buy similar medicine?" Yunxi asked unwillingly. Suddenly, she remembered something again, and asked with frowning eyes: "How many herbs can suppress people's coma on the mountain? They Does Orion know it?"

Shopkeeper Cao squeezed his chin, frowned and replied: "Plantago can make people unconscious, and it is also common in the mountains. Orion should know it."

Yunxi's heart sank. This can be said to complete the chain of deduction, but it can also be said to break one.

"However," shopkeeper Cao's eyes lit up suddenly, "drugs or arsenic and rat poison are not only available in pharmacies, but also on some unruly salesmen."

Salesman?
Everyone in Yunxi and Yunnan was shocked!
Shopkeeper Cao continued: "My house is the main way to enter the city and the village, and people can clearly see people coming and going. Recently, a shopkeeper came here very frequently. Oh, by the way, something happened to Lu's house yesterday, and I saw He has been to Zhuangzi."

The image of a person appeared in front of both of them at the same time.

On the day of the crime, the shopkeeper Li who fled in a hurry!
　I am pig feet! O(∩_∩)O haha~
　　If anyone is concerned about the lack of wages of the county officials, I will add it here!

　　Except for adults with official positions, the remaining officials and servants in the county government do not have official wages. Generally, in addition to food money, they extort gray income from the people such as money for kicking pots. Confidants, for example, the master is the confidant that the county magistrate paid for himself.It is a common phenomenon in ancient times that the magistrate of Qing Dynasty spends [-] snowflakes of silver a year, but it is also understandable. O(∩_∩)O~
