No one knows taboo better than me

Chapter 93 A Speck of Dust of the Era

Chapter 93

On September 25th, the [-]th year of Wanshou, some officials went to the court.

Zuo Yun: In the mansion of Changdu, there are many meritorious deeds.Some officials asked the people if they had no food, and they all said yes.Ask more than twenty people, all the same.

Emperor Joy.

……

After lying down for a while, Yu Rong finished cooking and asked the two cubs to call him.

Chu Zheng got up, came to the yard, and started to eat.

"Brother Chu, since you're back, should I ask someone to call your sister over?" Yu Rong asked after a pause.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng shook his head slightly, and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal for me to come back, there's no need to call her."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Hearing the sound, Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange, and asked Yu Rong who was beside him, "Sister-in-law, what happened outside?"

Hearing his words, Yu Rong paused, and said: "A recent incident, Zhang Shan's son and wife died yesterday. This is because someone from the government came to inquire about Zhang Shan's situation."

"Zhang Shan?" Chu Zheng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Zhang Shan was naturally the ruffian who wanted to ask him about the chicken, but he didn't expect that his wife and son died after a short time.

This matter is a bit weird.

However, Chu Zheng felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, and there was no need to get close to it.

"How did you die?" Chu Zheng casually asked while eating the food.

"It was poisoned to death." Yu Rong replied.

Hearing Yu Rong's words, Chu Zheng frowned immediately.

The place where Zhang Shan lived was near here, and the appearance of such a poisoned person made him have some concerns.

"Sister-in-law, has the murderer been caught?" Chu Zheng asked.

Hearing his words, Yu Rong hesitated for a moment, and said: "The government has arrested a person, but..."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a while before saying, "But things are a bit weird."

Hearing her words, Chu Zheng wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Because according to Zhang Shan, his son's wife was poisoned to death by Mr. Li Ming."

"How is it possible?" Chu Zheng looked at Yu Rong in astonishment.

In his impression, Li Ming was a gentle and gentle son.The other party's net worth is even more extraordinary.

Such a person would poison Zhang Shan's wife and children to death. He didn't believe it at all.

"The neighbors here don't believe it either." Yu Rong shook her head, "Ever since Mr. Li Ming came here, he has been kind to the neighbors. He often uses banana leaves to eat for people infected with cold. When some neighbors are in trouble, he also We will help you with all our strength. We really don't believe that Mr. Li Ming is the kind of person who can prescribe drugs to kill people."

Chu Zheng frowned, remained silent for a while, and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me the whole story."

"Yes." Yu Rong nodded, she also understood that Brother Chu was a capable person.

If they are willing, the other party may be able to help Li Ming now.

"This matter, we have to start from the day before yesterday..." Yu Rong began to tell what she knew.

The day before yesterday, Zhang Shan sneaked into Li Ming's yard, trying to steal plantain leaves.

As a result, when he stole the leaves, he broke several banana trees.

And when he stole it, Li Ming discovered it.Li Ming scolded him and expelled him.

But yesterday, Zhang Shan's son caught a cold and was seriously ill. Because of his wife's request, Zhang Shan came to Li Ming again to ask for banana leaves.

Li Ming was kind, so he agreed and gave him a few banana leaves.

As a result, on the same day, Zhang Shan's son and wife were poisoned to death at home.

Zhang Shan said that Li Ming poisoned his wife and children to death because he broke Li Ming's banana tree.

It is now rumored that Li Ming held a grudge against Zhang Shan for breaking his plantain leaves, and put poison on Zhang Shan's plantain leaves.

However, because Li Ming has a good reputation here, the neighbors also vouched for him, saying that he is not that kind of person.

Plus there is no direct evidence.

Therefore, this case has been pending.

"Will Li Ming poison you?" Chu Zheng listened to what Yu Rong said, and an idea appeared in his mind.

If it was before hearing the incident, he felt that it was unlikely.Because he felt that Li Ming was not that kind of person.

But thinking of Li Ming's obsession with Basho, Chu Zheng suddenly felt that the other party had a chance.

As for whether Zhang Shan would be poisoned, Chu Zheng never thought about it.

Zhang Shan and Li Ming didn't have any deep hatred, they wanted to kill their wives and children to frame each other.

Harming Li Ming like this will not do him any good.

"Things are a bit difficult." Chu Zheng pondered for a long time, but still had no clue.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to be a guarantee, you can also add me. I don't think Mr. Li Ming is that kind of person." He paused, and said to Yu Rong who was beside him.

Although he felt that Li Ming had a chance, because Zhang Shan broke the banana tree and poisoned him.

But that's only a possibility.

As long as Li Ming doesn't lose his mind, he won't do such a thing.

"Well, okay." Yu Rong was a little disappointed, she thought that Chu Zheng knew about this and went to help solve the case.

In fact, Yu Rong thought it was too simple to solve the case.

The previous wedding case seemed difficult, but in fact it was easy to solve if it was dealt with logically.

And this case is much more complicated than the previous one.

The grievances between the deceased and the suspect are too reluctant.The suspect also has neighbors to endorse.

As for the deceased, there was no breakthrough.

With the current level of conditions, this kind of case is very likely to be left open for more than ten years.

Of course, the main reason why Chu Zheng didn't care about this case was that he had other things to do.

Then, Yu Rong entered the room and started making clothes.

She received some orders at the tailor shop to subsidize her family.

After Chu Zheng finished his meal, he talked about Journey to the West with Ma Xiang and Ma Niuer for a while, and then he wrote a dozen or so words for them to learn by themselves.

Because of the story, they have a strong interest in calligraphy.

After that, Chu Zheng sat down cross-legged in the yard and began to practice.

In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Zheng stopped practicing when he heard the voice.

Then he went to the door and opened it.

As the door opened, what caught his eyes was a woman who was only twenty-eight years old.

The woman was wearing a padded jacket, holding some clothes, her hair was a little messy, and there was a hint of sadness on her young and delicate face.

When she saw Chu Zheng, she was startled at first, and then her eyes turned red.

She opened her mouth, but made no sound.

"Are you back?" Chu Qingqing's voice was obviously hoarse. She took a deep breath, sniffed her nose, and said with a smile, "It's good to be back."

After finishing speaking, she hugged Chu Zheng.

Her body was originally weak and she didn't have much strength, but Chu Zheng, as a warrior of the ninth-grade leather training level, felt that the other party's strength seemed to be a little tight.

The opponent seemed to be afraid that he was going to fly away.

At the same time, he felt something dripping on his neck, wet but warm.

Chu Zheng knew very well what it was.

Obviously, Chu Qingqing's heart is not as simple as it appears.

At this moment, Chu Zheng felt a little heavy in his heart.

He suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to live well in this world.

Not for myself, but also for my sister.

"Sister, I'm fine." Chu Zheng patted Chu Qingqing's back and comforted her.

At the same time, with a thought in his mind, he used one hundred taboo coins on Chu Qingqing.

[Consumes 100 taboo coins, blocked. 】

As a piece of information came into his mind, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still have some things to do, let's go first." Chu Qingqing sniffed, turned her head and walked towards the house.

She didn't want her younger brother to see her embarrassed side.

Although Chu Zhenglai was in charge of many things that she had experienced before, as an older sister, she still had to take care of her younger brother.

Chu Zheng also roughly understood her thoughts, so he didn't bother her either.

At the same time, he touched his back and was silent for a while.

Just now, he felt a chill behind him again.

It's just that the chill is much lighter than before, and it's only two or three times faster than usual.

It's like a jealous complaint.

"Jealous?" Chu Zheng thought of this, feeling that his thoughts were a little too naive.

As a taboo, Li Hongchen, how could he complain?
Chu Zheng still remembered the moment he met Li Hongchen in the taboo world.

There was no trace of emotion in the other party's eyes.

If he was not careful, he might die in the hands of Li Hongchen.

In fact, if it wasn't for Li Hongchen not having any casual injury in the past two days, he wouldn't have dared to come back.

After some more time, Mayon came back.

He was covered in sawdust.

Before this, Chu Zheng learned from Yu Rong that the other party recently set up some earthen kilns with some people in the mountains and burned charcoal in the mountains.

Charcoal is always worth more than wood.

And this is actually because of his cousin Ma Heng's relationship, otherwise, the people here would not take him to make charcoal with a stranger.

When Ma Yong saw Chu Zheng, he was like Yu Rong again, he was very pleasantly surprised and had a good meal.

Unknowingly, this family has already treated the Chu Zheng siblings as if they were their own family members.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ma Yong started making bamboo strips at home again.

In recent days, a bamboo bed and several small chairs made of bamboo have been added to the yard.

He did it all.

In this world, there are always some people who want to learn more skills and settle down in this world.

However, sometimes, just like Ma Yong, no matter how many things you know, you can't match the general trend of this era.

A speck of dust from the times falls on an individual and becomes a mountain.

This world has never been warm to people. Wars and disasters have turned every living person into a cold number.

Chu Zheng looked at it for a while, then continued to practice.

Now his physical condition is not good, he must dispel the chill early.

At the same time, he also wanted to quickly cultivate to a higher level.

That way, he can live better.

Whether facing taboos or the general trend of the world.

He doesn't want to be crushed by a speck of dust in this era like ordinary people.
