Chapter 70

"That woman just now is so strange." Song Weiwei said while sitting on the bullock cart.

"Oh?" Xu Miaomiao was puzzled: "Weiwei, what do you think is strange about her?"

"Hmm..." Song Weiwei thought for a long time and said, "There is no normal person who doesn't use an umbrella in the heavy rain, and she hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything."

"I see, it's Weiwei that you have bad ears, so you didn't hear it." Gu Yuanniang joked about Song Weiwei while driving the bullock cart.

Xu Miaomiao remained silent, but that woman was strange, everyone's situation is different, maybe they have experienced bad things, Xu Miaomiao didn't think much about recovering from it.

"Mother, you are back."

Er Bao hugged Xu Miaomiao's coquettish mouth, and Xu Miaomiao hugged the little girl's soft body and felt warm in his heart. In this weather, he should hug his own small stove and sleep beautifully on the bed. If this little guy doesn't It would be even better if he would grab the quilt from himself.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

As soon as Song Weiwei entered the door, she saw Song Wushao quickly XZ something, like a handkerchief, but she didn't see clearly: "What are you hiding?"

Song Weiwei was about to reach out to grab it but was stopped by Song Wushao: "Eat."

As soon as the two words came out, Song Weiwei obviously felt that her brother was not in a very good mood, so she immediately sat down obediently.

The dishes on the table are simple, two plates of green vegetables, some chicken and stir-fried rabbit.

Just as Xu Miaomiao packed up her things and entered the house, she saw a table full of delicacies. What's the matter?Is it the meal made by the big boss?
Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised, she knew that Song Wushao could cook, but she never thought that a man could cook so deliciously.

Song Wushao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the woman feasting, so let's make up for taking her handkerchief.

The next day, Xu Miaomiao took the cotton to the place agreed upon in the market to sell it, passing by the silk and satin shop and went in to have a look.

"Ah, long time no see shopkeeper Xu." The man cupped his hands and bowed to Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao looked back for a moment before speaking: "I passed by by chance, come to see if the operation here is normal."

"Boss Xu, don't worry, with me here, the store will definitely be able to operate well."

Xu Miaomiao nodded and greeted the man in front of her.

"Hey? Mrs. Xu, why are you still here?" A boss passing by the silk shop saw Xu Miaomiao and asked.

"What does the old man mean by this, is something wrong?"

She always has a bad feeling these days, especially after seeing the woman from yesterday.

"Your store is dead." The old man stood on the spot and recalled: "It's that department store. A woman died. The county magistrate Hu arrested all the people in your store and took them to the court. Many people saw her. gone."

Xu Miaomiao was shocked, she didn't have time to say more, she shouted thank you and rushed towards the Yamen, the one who died was a woman?Could it be the one who came to buy the Lion Cake yesterday afternoon?

A bad premonition developed in Xu Miaomiao's heart, and he pushed away the crowded crowd, only to see Song Weiwei crying and sitting in the courtroom, Xu Guo was held down by two yamen servants, while Gu Yuanniang was pressed to the ground beside him, the yamen servant took He was about to hit her with a stick.

"stop!"

Just when the stick was about to fall, Xu Miaomiao rushed forward to take the heavy stick for Gu Yuanniang.

The imagined pain did not come, Gu Yuanniang raised her head, only to see Xu Miaomiao standing in front of her, the wooden stick hitting Xu Miaomiao's back firmly: "Miaomiao!"

Xu Miaomiao groaned, regained her composure, endured the pain on her skin and knelt down to salute the county magistrate.

"Who is in the hall?"

"Return to your lord." Xu Miaomiao opened her mouth and responded, "Xu Miaomiao, the shopkeeper of the department store."

"Xu Miaomiao?" The man looked at the woman curiously. He had long heard that she cured the plague, but he didn't expect it to be such a woman, and she looked pretty good.

Hu Chong muttered in his heart, his eyes scrutinized Xu Miaomiao's body wantonly, making Xu Miaomiao very unhappy.

"My lord is going to judge the case."

The yamen servant at the side whispered in the man's ear, and it was only then that Hu Chong came to his senses: "Ahem, Xu Miaomiao, you are guilty."

"I don't know what crime there is."

"You still say!" Suddenly a man rushed out from the side, looking at Xu Miaomiao with whirling eyes: "You killed my wife?"

Xu Miaomiao looked at the man suspiciously and asked, "I don't even know your wife, how can I harm her."

"Ahem." The man on the stage suddenly coughed twice and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Everyone said that it rained yesterday, and saw his wife Xie Ziqi go to your place yesterday to buy a box of lion cakes, but after eating I just passed out on the street, and when I found out the next day, my body was already cold."

"It's you, pay back my wife's life." The man shouted and was about to step forward, but fortunately he was stopped by the yamen servants at the side.

"Even if your lord eats my things, it still can't prove that there is something wrong with my things." Xu Miaomiao opened her mouth to defend: "There is no solid evidence, why did your lord want to lynch other people in our family."

"Presumptuous! How can you be bothered and clamored in the courtroom?"

Hu Chong scolded, and looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction: "Then what do you say, there is no clerk in our small county government, and now all I can know is that the wife died after eating your food."

"My lord, Miao Miao is a doctor, Miao Miao is willing to conduct an autopsy to find out the real culprit."

"Really?" Hu Chong's eyes were full of hope. He had only been in office for a few days and a murder case occurred. He was already worried that there was no place to shirk. Xu Miaomiao jumped out by himself, so it's no wonder he was there.

"No, my lord." The man on the side refused and said, "Xu Miaomiao is already suspected. You are letting her autopsy, isn't it just to lure wolves into the house?"

As he said that, he burst out crying and began to cry to the people outside: "My poor lady, how did you die so badly, no one will appeal for you now."

"That's enough!" Hu Chong looked at the man angrily: "This official has already decided, and it's not up to others to question it, so I will leave it to Xu Miaomiao to handle it."

Xu Miaomiao cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, sir."

"But don't think that this matter has nothing to do with you." Hu Chong looked at the woman and responded: "I will give you three days, if you don't find the result within three days, then Mrs. Xu will be sorry. can cure your sin."

Xu Miaomiao responded aloud, but he didn't notice that the man beside him lowered his eyes and looked thoughtful.

"Miaomiao, are you okay?"

Gu Yuanniang hurriedly helped Xu Miaomiao up.

Pain came from his back, and he patted Gu Yuanniang's hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's just a small injury."

Song Weiwei had never seen this scene before, she fainted from fright, and was carried back by Xu Guo.
