Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

   Chapter 644 644. Shantang and his party (45)

  Ren Buqing made a gesture, and the soldiers who followed him immediately dispersed and surrounded the whole house.

   At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a tall man appeared behind the door, with a square face, ambition, vicissitudes, and exhaustion, Zhang Guangsheng was undoubtedly.

  He was holding a bowl in his hand, which contained pitch-black medicine. Looking at everyone, he was obviously taken aback, and after realizing it, he ran away without thinking.

  Ge Lihua moved his hand, and an embroidery needle flew over and pierced Zhang Guangsheng's thigh.

  Zhang Guangsheng threw himself on the ground, the bowl in his hand shattered, and the medicine was scattered all over the floor. Instead of running away, he burst into tears, depressing, dull, and helpless. His crying sounded very uncomfortable.

  The soldiers stepped forward and arrested the man.

  Ren Buqing walked over and handed Zhang Guangsheng a handkerchief, this man was quite pitiful, "Wipe it."

   Zhang Guangsheng looked at the handkerchief, but instead of reaching out to take it, he cried even more uncontrollably.

  Ren Buqing waited for a while, "Where is your friend?"

  Chu Qingzhi's slender fingers moved, and a faint light flashed.

  Zhang Guangsheng couldn't control himself and said, "They are Zheng Er and Xu San, but we didn't take the initiative to kill Zhou Youyuan and Xu Youchang. We were instructed by someone who gave us money and asked us to kill them."

  Ren Buqing frowned, "Who?"

  Zhang Guangsheng was emotionally devastated, "I don't know. He was wearing a cloak and his face was covered. We couldn't see his face clearly. When he found us, we were all short of money, so he agreed for a while."

  Chu Xujin, "Where are the two of them now?"

  Zhang Guangsheng raised his head and looked at the house he just walked out of, with a dejected expression on his face, "They are all in that room."

  Ren Buqing ordered, "Arrest!"

  Si Bing quickly entered the room and escorted Zheng Er and Xu San out. Seeing this, Zheng Er and Xu San regretted it, and knelt down on the ground helplessly.

  Chu Qingzhi asked the three of them, "You just said that he will give you money after the matter is completed. Where is the money?"

  Zhang Guangsheng glanced at Zheng Er and Xu San, and said resignedly, "We have hidden the money, I will take you to get it."

  The money was buried under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard, where the three of them hid, and it was packed in a clay pot, with a total of one thousand taels of silver bills.

  Si Bing hugged the pot to Ren Buqing, "My lord."

Standing next to Ren Buqing, Chu Qingzhi took out the bank note from the clay pot, and smelled it carefully, "This bank note is stained with eucalyptus (a kind of incense), which is so expensive that most people can't afford it. "

  Ren Buqing soon had a direction for investigation, "There are only three shops in the capital that sell expensive incense, and the customers are either rich or expensive. You can find out when you check."

  Chu Xujin was a little excited, "Sir, do you want to check overnight?"

   "No, let's go back to rest now, and continue to investigate tomorrow." Ren Buqing patted Chu Xujin's shoulder, just like him back then, always wanting to find out the truth quickly.

  Chu Xujin smiled and nodded, "I've already listened to you, sir."

  …

  General's Mansion.

  The lights were on in the study room, and a figure writing at his desk was printed on the window, and the orange light flickered slightly.

  Chu Qingzhi held a food box in her hand, opened the door and entered the study, "Jing Hong, come over for supper."

  Tang Jinghong got up and walked out from behind the desk, approached Chu Qingzhi, and gently embraced her, "I thought you wouldn't come here anymore."

   "I will come if I say I want to come, but if it's too late next time, you can use the Golden Feather Phoenix to ask me."

   "Okay." Tang Jinghong let go of Chu Qingzhi, then lifted the food box and took out the supper inside, "How is the investigation going?"

   "Very well, tomorrow we will know who the real murderer is, how about you?"

   "We caught all the lines of Lord Zhang's sulfur smuggling, and the progress is very smooth."

"Congratulations!"

   "Congratulations!"

  The two chatted while eating, and at the end of the meal, Tang Jinghong asked, "Qingzhi, after the investigation of the case, are you going back to the village?"

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Yes, do you want to go back to the village with us?"

   Tang Jinghong's voice was a little more apologetic, "I have to deal with the matter of Prince Zhang before I can go back to the village, but I will definitely come back before your birthday."

  Her birthday is the first day of October, and it's only a few days away. "It doesn't matter if you can't make it back in time. The business is important."

   "Your birthday is also important."

   "Then I'll wait for you to come back to celebrate my birthday."

"good."

  …

  Chu Mansion.

  Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui came to the Chu Mansion together. When they thought of Chu Qingzhi, they both felt a little guilty. They looked at each other, and the anxiety in each other's eyes was clear.

  Luo Jisheng walked towards the guard, "We are looking for Miss Qing Zhi, is she there?"

   The guard looked at the two scholars, thought for a while and said, "She is here, wait a moment, I will report."

   "Thank you."

  Chu Qingzhi was packing her things. Hearing what the guard said, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to come out to meet her, "What do you want from me?"

  Luo Jisheng saw Chu Qingzhi, his aura involuntarily weakened by half, and he saluted nervously, "Miss Qingzhi, you asked us to repair the Shantang earlier, and it has been repaired now, do you want to go and see it?"

  Yan Jingkui hurriedly said, "The emperor said that if the girl is not satisfied, this matter will not be over." He added, "We have prepared a sedan chair, so it won't take a lot of time for the girl."

  Chu Qingzhi looked behind the two of them, and there was a very luxurious sedan chair parked not far away, "Let's go, go and have a look."

  Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Girl, please."

  Shantang is not far from the slums, and it took a while to get there.

  There are a total of 257 people in the Shantang.

   Among them is an old man who is in charge of all the affairs of the shantang and earns money to support the shantang.

   There are four helpers, all of them are disabled, but they don’t affect their daily life. The old man found them homeless and picked them up. It’s very pitiful.

  Two women who cook and cook, an old man who looks after the door, and the rest are unwanted children.

  The capital has the most rich people, but no one notices the children struggling to survive in this corner.

  Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui came to help them repair the shantang. Everyone in the shantang was very moved and grateful.

  However, Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui did not dare to take the credit, and told the truth to the people in Shantang that it was Chu Qingzhi who asked them to repair the house.

  No, when I learned that Chu Qingzhi was coming to Shantang, everyone in Shantang waited at the door to greet her, and everyone looked forward to it.

  The sedan chair finally appeared in sight, and the old gentleman stepped forward to salute, "Thank you for repairing the good hall, please accept the old man's worship."

  Chu Qingzhi quickly helped the old gentleman up, "It's not worth mentioning, the old gentleman doesn't need to be polite."

  The old man's tone was full of gratitude, "Miss Chu is very kind, we in the shantang will remember that when the children grow up, they will repay the girl."

  Chu Qingzhi smiled, "You don't need to repay me, just live a good life."

   Unexpectedly, this simple sentence made many people cry. For others, survival is very simple, but for those who have been abandoned, it is even more difficult.
