Chapter 245
This time, Bai Fu's condition was severe, and she didn't get any better after drinking Xi Zuo's medicine. Fortunately, there was a group of people around her to take care of her, so Bai Fu didn't feel too uncomfortable, but felt a little bit of enjoyment for no reason.

After all, it was the first time in three lifetimes that she was cared for so carefully.

"Miss, this is the nourishing soup that Da Ya asked Aunt Fang to ask for. Would you like to have a few more sips?"

Luo Jinshi looked at half a bowl of soup left, and asked hesitantly.

Bai Fu waved his hand, "I really can't drink anymore, I'll lie down for a while."

After Bai Fu fell asleep, Luo Jinshi left the room with the bowl in his hand, closed the door and turned around, and saw Yegu beside the stone wall looking restless, Luo Jinshi sighed calmly, walked closer and said:

"Miss is very ill, so don't bother me at this time."

"I know I know"

Aunt Ye knew that Luo Jinshi would not like her staying here for the past few days, but she really had no other choice. She nervously grabbed Luo Jinshi's hand, showing a look of hope, "I just want to ask, is there any lady?" Tell you about my son?"

Miss Luo Jin's Xindao was so ill that she didn't even have the energy to talk and eat, so she didn't have the time to talk to her about other things, but she couldn't bear to see Ye Gu's cautious look:
"Miss is really not well these few days. When tomorrow is better, I will find a chance to ask for you."

Aunt Ye looked delighted, and thanked Luo Jinshi in a flattering manner before leaving.

Luo Jinshi looked at Ye Gu's back and sighed.

If there was good news, the girl would have said no matter how seriously ill she was, but now she has not mentioned it. It must have backfired.

It has to be said that Rokin's guess was right.

Based on the clues provided by Bai Fu, the government conducted a careful investigation of the case. Combined with witness and material evidence, only Aunt Ye's son was the one who had the motive for the murder and got the stolen goods.

It turned out that after Aunt Ye was soaked in a pig cage, her son accidentally heard the old widower next door tell his grandma that he saw with his own eyes that there were actually more than one person who forced Aunt Ye that night, and another person was the son of Landlord Zheng's family.

Later, for some reason, grandma began to scold him at home, saying that he was the bastard her mother stole from others, and that he was the disaster that destroyed her family and killed her son.

He ran out of the house in a fit of anger, and met Landlord Zheng's sedan chair on the road. Landlord Zheng saw him chasing him and greeted him, and asked him if he had suffered any grievances, and if he had no place to go, would he go to his house for a while.

For some unknown reason, he followed Landlord Zheng back home. A noble old lady was very happy to see him, and she was even more enthusiastic about him than Landlord Zheng.

But then another chubby and tough woman came in with three little girls, and quarreled with the noble old lady in a few words.

He was taken down by the woman in time, but he still heard the woman call him a little bitch, call the Zheng family bullying too much and so on.

Chong'er is a smart child, and based on everyone's reactions, he went back and thought about it carefully, and guessed that he might have been misunderstood as a child of Landlord Zheng's family.

He didn't know where this misunderstanding came from.

In his impression, his mother and father are very affectionate, and her mother has been missing her father all these years, and told him that she must study hard to earn money for his father and the family.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that he was not Daddy's son.

Unfortunately, this belief was destroyed the next day.

Landlord Zheng's son came to his grandma when she was in town and told him that he was really the son of the Zheng family. In order to convince him, the man also said that his mother fell in love with him at first sight when she first came to Ximiao Village.

Aunt Ye's son naturally didn't believe it.

He felt that with her mother's nature, she would never do anything wrong to her father, so this man must be lying.

But in the next few days, people from the Zheng family came to him trying to find a way to make him recognize his ancestors, saying that since his mother was gone, his grandma couldn't tolerate him, and he would only suffer hardship if he stayed at this house.

The Zheng family even promised him that as long as he is willing to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, the entire Zheng family will be his in the future.

Aunt Ye's son scolded them all away, and warned them not to spoil their mother's reputation everywhere.

But the news still leaked out, and soon everyone in the village knew about it. He was so angry when he heard it, he ran to Landlord Zheng's house to ask for an explanation, and had a big fight. After returning, he heard that Landlord Zheng's son had been poisoned to death. up.

The poison was the bag of rat poison on him.

Aunt Ye's son said that he hadn't poisoned it, and that the packet of rat poison was given to him by a baker when he was looking for gold and silver paper, and he put it on his body and forgot.

The government office went to find out the peddler, and learned that many people in the village had indeed bought rat poison.

The peddler said that there were rats ruining the grain recently, and many people in the village bought medicine. Seeing that Aunt Ye's son bought a lot of gold and silver paper, the peddler was in a good mood and gave him the last bit of rat poison left.

The people in the government office checked all the people who bought the medicine, but they found that other people had no motive to kill people at all.

Landlord Zheng’s son was in poor health and drank medicine all the year round. When Aunt Ye’s son went to talk about it, there was a bowl of medicine hanging in front of Landlord Zheng’s son. The servants of Zheng’s family testified that Aunt Ye’s son secretly poured medicine into the bowl several times, Said that Aunt Ye's son said that anyone who slandered his mother would die.

Aunt Ye's mother-in-law hid the silver, which she secretly sold Aunt Ye's dowry in exchange for.

As for the affair with the old widower, the two admitted during interrogation by the government.

But they insisted that they hooked up only recently, and that they were a widow and a widower, and they would not break the law if they hooked up when their families changed and they were depressed.

The point is that the government could find no other evidence that the two were related to the murder.

The case thus came to an impasse.

Ye Gu took advantage of the darkness to go back to Ximiao Village.

Now that Miss Bai is ill, she went around the Fuya for two days but couldn't see her son, she was very anxious.

Although she had complained to Bai Fu, she felt that what Bai Fu said was right, relying on others is worse than relying on oneself.

She went home first, her mother-in-law was not at home, she was wondering, when she heard her mother-in-law's angry voice from the yard next door.

"Today, I stopped by the government office to see that evil bastard, and he actually had to pay a copper coin to get in. Hmph, a murderer is worth a fortune."

"If you want me to tell you, you should directly question the crime, and the government will investigate and investigate. Don't you suspect that I let him kill someone?" The mother-in-law asked with hesitation in her voice, "This matter will not be with you. Does it matter?"

"What are you thinking?"

The man's rough and displeased voice came, accompanied by the sound of scooping water, "I have no enmity with Landlord Zheng's family, so why does your grandson kill me?"

Xu felt that the man had a good reason, so Aunt Ye stopped talking about it, and talked about meeting her grandson today, "It cost me a hundred coppers today, but the boy turned cold on me and told me not to come see him in the future." He, as if there is no grandson like him, I will be angry."

"It's definitely you who said something ugly again and offended that kid."

After the people from the government office came, the matter of the two of them was exposed, and then they simply got together to live together, and the man was less scruples when speaking.

Aunt Ye immediately became unhappy.

"What do you mean I said something nasty again?"

Something was thrown to the ground, and there was a blunt sound, "I just want him to confess and be lenient, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood. Although he is not my grandson, I raised him after all, and people's hearts are born of flesh."

"Come on you"

The man laughed abruptly after interrupting the woman, "I saw Mrs. Zheng looking for you that day, what did you two say?"

Mrs. Zheng is looking for her mother-in-law?
Ye Gu's eyes widened, feeling something tricky here, she pressed her face against the wall and stretched her neck to hear more.

But for some reason, there was no sound of people on the other side of the wall, only the sound of two people tugging and footsteps, followed by the sound of the door being closed.

It seems that he entered the house and told a secret.

Ye Gu listened for a while, but couldn't hear anything. After thinking about it, she turned around and walked in another direction.

The most affluent house in Ximiao Village is owned by Landlord Zheng.

Almost the entire village lives off the property of the Zheng landlord's family. In Ximiao Village, the Zheng landlord can be said to be no different from the Tu Emperor.

But Landlord Zheng has a kind face and kind eyes, and he treats people kindly on weekdays. He often wanders around the village in a sedan chair with a smile.

Since the accident happened at Landlord Zheng's house, people in the village haven't seen Zheng's family come out for a long time, and they all thought they were hit by the death of their son.

As everyone knows, what really hit the Zheng family was not the death of their son, but another matter.

"Mother, I seem to have seen the second young master just now."

In a small alley next to the door of Zheng's house, a young servant girl pulled a servant woman with a terrified expression and whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The servant woman who was called mother was obviously frightened by these words, and she retorted with her mouth while her eyes wandered around. It's not over seven, could it be that the soul of the young master has not left yet?
The servant girl trembled, folded her hands together, closed her eyes and bowed in several directions, muttering something.

"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense"

Seeing that the other party had lost his mind, the maid who spoke earlier hurriedly explained, "No, just now I helped Aqiao to deliver clothes to a side courtyard, and when I passed by a courtyard, I heard the voice of the second young master. At first I thought I heard it wrong, but come back When I happened to see the master coming out of the yard, the second young master sent the master to the entrance of the yard."

The maid froze.

The side courtyard is the place where the stupid third young master of the Zheng family lives. There are only a few dedicated servants to take care of it on weekdays. Others rarely go there. How can the second young master be there?
The master said that the second young master's death was too miserable to stay at home for a long time, and he was buried in a coffin not long after he died. At that time, he paid a lot of money to invite the monks of Detian Temple to come and save him. These servants saw it with their own eyes, how could it be.
"Did you read it wrong?" the maid asked.

The young maid shook her head like a rattle, "No way, I've been in the second young master's yard for so long, how can I misread the appearance of the young master's voice?"

The maid still couldn't believe it, "It's so dark."

"The master lights up the lamp"

The young servant girl broke the servant's luck, "Mother, I really read this right, do you want to tell the second lady?"

The servant girl's eyes flickered.

She is in the Second Madam's yard. On weekdays, the Second Madam often let her and her daughter secretly inquire about the young master's yard. They told the Second Madam that the child came to see the Young Master that day.

"Don't rush"

The maid thought for a while, "You can find another opportunity to go to the side courtyard tomorrow, don't say anything before that, I have my own idea for the second lady."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then parted ways.

After the two left, Aunt Ye came out from a corner not far from the alley.

After hearing what her mother-in-law said today, she wanted to come to Landlord Zheng's house to pretend to be a ghost and frighten Mrs. Zheng with routine.

She had heard from his husband that there was a dog hole in the Zheng family's yard that thieves had entered. She wanted to try to see if she could sneak in. In order to exonerate her son, she thought it was worth going through the dog hole.

Unexpectedly, Landlord Zheng's house was heavily guarded, she wandered outside the house for a long time but couldn't find a chance to sneak in, and then heard such a terrifying thing by accident.

Is that bastard son of Landlord Zheng's family alive?

The next day, Bai Fu's condition still did not improve.

The night before last night, the high fever would not return and he talked nonsense, Mr. Fei had to take care of him for the whole night in his clothes, and Luo Jinshi knocked on the door with a medicine bowl before he woke up.

He got up and walked to the front of Baifu, stretched out his hand to check the temperature on his forehead, it was better than last night, then he heaved a sigh of relief and straightened his clothes to open the door for Luo Jinshi.

"Mr. Fei, why don't I feed this medicine?"

Seeing the blue eyes of Mr. Fei, Luo Jinshi said hesitantly, thinking that Mr. Fei might have stayed up all night again.

"It's okay, go get some water."

Mr. Fei was about to pick up the medicine, when he glanced at Gu Ye standing in the yard, Gu Ye had been looking at this side anxiously, suddenly met Mr Fei's eyes, she was so frightened that she lowered her head tremblingly and bewildered.

Seeing Young Master Fei seeing Ye Gu, Luo Jinshi thought of Ye Gu staying in the yard before dawn, and sighed, "I came to see Miss, and said I have something important to tell Miss."

Mr. Fei withdrew his gaze with a hum, and stretched out his hand to take the medicine, "You tell her to tell you directly if she has anything to do, and when Xiaobai wakes up, you tell Xiaobai for her."

Luo Jinshi should be, when Mr. Fei entered, he turned and walked towards Aunt Ye.

Two days later, Bai Fu's mind finally regained clarity.

Although she had a fever, sweated and took medicine repeatedly in the past few days, she didn't feel uncomfortable when she woke up. Instead, she felt clean and refreshed. There was no unpleasant smell of medicine in the room, and there was still a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

She felt a little dazed, and for a moment she couldn't remember what year and month it was, and where she was.

I wanted to get up, but found that my body was a little weak, so I had to turn my head to look around.

The windows were all wide open, and delicate flowers and plants were placed on the window sills, and some were also placed on the round table in front of her bed. She couldn't name them, but looking at them made people feel better for no reason. points of flowers.

She was about to call out, when Ye Gu's voice came from outside, thanking her.

Bai Fu was a little confused, but still vaguely guessed that the case of Aunt Ye's son had progressed.

"Miss Bai, you are the great benefactor of me and Chong'er, and I will repay you for your great kindness."

"Chong'er, thank you, Miss Bai, if it weren't for her, you and I would die in peace."

"It's my mother's fault. I'm afraid it will delay your future. I want you to stay with grandma and get credit for your father in the future. Since your grandma doesn't recognize you, mother will take you away. No matter where you go, you will be there for your father." Glory."

The much thinner and stubborn boy knelt down heavily in the yard, "Miss Bai's great kindness is something I will never forget, and I will repay it even more in the future."

The mother and son talked a lot more, but they were finally persuaded by Luo Jin's good words. Luo Jin looked at the mother and son who were supporting each other, and sighed, "It's finally avenged."

From Ye Gu's point of view, the victim was not dead at all, but hid, and when he was found by the government later, he was having a good time, so his son's murder charge was not established.
