Chapter 107 Sour
Because of Zhao Jiuniang's incident, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival failed to last. Everyone broke up unhappy, and returned home with fear or regret, using Zhao Jiuniang's death as a kind of talk.

Some people also questioned, why did the fire burn all over the body?Why did Zhao Jiuniang die so quickly?There was not even a yell in the middle.

But this kind of doubt was quickly overshadowed by the endless new things in Yangzhou. By February, except for the Zhao family, few people remembered the little lady who passed away tragically in the night of Shangyuan.

Ren Shaochun made several visits to Shen's house every now and then, either to convey the progress of Zhao Jiuniang's case, or the progress of the mandarin duck robber.

Fortunately, two things are gradually becoming clear.

The presence of phosphorous powder was found on Zhao Jiuniang's outer shirt, and after being inspected by Wu, it was found that Zhao Jiuniang died not from the fire, but from the toxin in a needle eye at the back of her neck.

In other words, before the fire, Zhao Jiuniang was already dead, and the fire was just an illusion.

If it wasn't Ren Shaochun who came to deal with the accident, or if Shen Qingling wasn't there to raise something, the case might even be fooled, after all, the government office is so busy right now.

Only in this way, it will be more difficult to find out who the murderer is.People came and went at the Lantern Festival, even if Zhao Jiuniang's maidservant was by her side, it was impossible to remember all the people who had been close to Zhao Jiuniang.

The family members of the Zhao family knew that Zhao Jiuniang died unexpectedly, and there was a commotion, so the government must find out the murderer immediately, so that even the officials at the gate of the government were busy during this period.

As for the pair of mandarin ducks——

Ren Shaochun has joined forces with the state governments to arrest him and bring him to justice.

Following the clues provided by Shen Qingling, Ren Shaochun also found a place where Yuanyang and Shuangsha stored their stolen goods, and the things inside were being secretly transported back to Yangzhou by someone Ren Shaochun trusted.

When everything was settled, Shen Qingling's brows could not be relaxed.

"How long will it take for Wu Zuo to find out the poison on Zhao Jiuniang's body?" Shen Qingling leaned against the window on the second floor of Huai'an Pavilion, looking at the more spacious official road in front of the shop, "You can't be passive in everything, waiting for the couple to be evil Bring the stolen goods into Yangzhou, I am afraid that troubles will come to the door again."

Recently, she didn't go anywhere except Huai'an Pavilion and her home, and she was extra careful when going in and out, just to guard against the people in the dark.After being reminded by her, Ren Shaochun also took heart, and was very cautious when going out for dinner on weekdays.

It can be day and night defense, and people will inevitably be tired.

"It will probably take a few more days." Ren Shaochun took a sip of tea, walked to the window with the teacup, followed Shen Qingling's gaze, and interrupted: "Your restaurant business is not as good as it was years ago, why are you in a hurry to open?" A medical clinic? Just for that Doctor Liu? You have to weigh the pros and cons of doing good deeds, it costs a lot of money to open a medical clinic in the city."

He has a close relationship with Shen Qingling, and he did not blame Shen Qingling for saying these words, but was just worried about Shen Qingling.

On the official road, a woman with her head wrapped was pushing a cart towards the Huai'an Pavilion, and the cart behind her was full of fresh vegetables, which were so green that it was easy to see in this season.

Uncle Fu saw the woman from a long distance away, and immediately greeted her with a smile.

"It's true that the business is not as good as it used to be, but it's a pity that this Wu Niang grows these vegetables." Shen Qingling turned her head to look at the woman and Uncle Fu who were talking below, and said, "Let's go after dinner later, it's all Good food that is hard to find in the city.”

If we don't just talk about the troublesome things, it can be considered that Ren Shaochun doesn't want to see Shen Qingling's selfishness of frowning all the time, Shen Qingling knows it well, so he changed the topic along Ren Shaochun's.

After lunch, Liu Xiuwen came over with a medicine box. Recently, he used the lobby of Huai'an Pavilion to give free consultations, using this gimmick as one of the means to attract people in Huai'an Pavilion, in order to repay Shen Qingling.

His elder brother's condition is much better. He often goes back to Liu's house to visit Liu's mother, who is getting worse and worse, and often sits in Liu's house for a whole day, staring at his old books in a daze.

Shen Qingling and Liu Xiuwen ordered a few times and led Ren Shaochun out of Huai'an Pavilion.

At that time Wu Niang hadn't left yet, she was chatting with Uncle Fu by the side of the road, when she saw Shen Qingling, she raised her hand to wave to Shen Qingling very affectionately, calling her boss's wife.

"Good day, Wu Niang." Shen Qingling smiled back at her.

Wu Niang rolled her eyes, walked towards Shen Qingling, and greeted Shen Qingling: "Good day, my hostess, I don't know if today's food is comfortable to eat? If there is any game you want to eat, you can also tell me, My son is very good at riding and shooting, and he can hunt any kind of wild game."

When Ren Shaochun heard this, he covered his lips and let out a muffled laugh twice.

Shen Qingling squeezed him with her hands behind her back, but still with a gentle smile on her face, she declined and said: "There's no need for wild game. I've become a vegetarian recently, and Wu Niang's dishes already suit my taste."

The two of them hurriedly left from the front of Huai'an Pavilion, and when they were far away, Shen Qingling slapped Ren Shaochun on the forehead, rolled his eyes and said: "Wu Niang's family is rich and powerful, don't think she is some kind of country woman .”

Hearing what Shen Qingling said, Ren Shaochun turned his head and looked back a few times, and said in surprise: "It doesn't look like it!"

"That's right." Shen Qingling copied her hands and said, "It's called back to basics. I heard that my son is still a Beijing official, young and promising, so you can't find a merchant like me."

Now Ren Shaochun was dissatisfied, and retorted with staring eyes: "So what if you are a merchant, we don't have any rules here, in my opinion, even if you are betrothed to the crown prince, you are definitely worthy of it!"

do not!
Shen Qingling was so frightened that while looking around, she quickly covered Ren Shaochun's mouth.

The amused Ren Shaochun broke away from Shen Qingling's shackles, clutched his stomach and said: "Second Lady, it seems that what I just said is not a prince, but a tiger in the mountains! No matter what, with Second Lady's temperament, she must not be able to stand the royal family. It’s a rule, let’s change it.”

As he spoke, his eyes rolled and his eyebrows moved slightly.

"What about the angel from last time, Mr. Xue?"

Coincidentally, Shen Qingling raised her skirt to chase him, and just after a few steps, she saw a tall horse stop beside her.Looking up obliquely, Shen Qingling saw Master Xue that Ren Shaochun was talking about.

"Why is Ah Yu here again?" Shen Qingling slowly put down the hem of her skirt, narrowing her eyes and smiling.

"Good day, Mr. Xue." Ren Shaochun walked over obediently, and bowed to Xue Yu, "It was Xiaomin and the second lady who were playing around just now, I hope Mr. Xue will not be surprised."

Xue Yu rolled the horse's rein with one hand, leaned over, and asked, "What did you two say just now? I'm a little far away, and I can't hear anything, but it must be very interesting to see you two smiling. "

Ren Shaochun, who frowned and said nothing, always felt that Master Xue's tone seemed a bit sour.Before he could think too much, Master Xue got off his horse, handed the horse to the subordinates behind him, and stood shoulder to shoulder with them.
