First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 344 Seeing Blood Sealing the Throat
Gu's heart was hanging for a whole day before she let go. After thinking for a while, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into the old woman's hand, "This is a good job, this is a reward for you..."

The mother-in-law hastily declined and said, "Auntie, don't be like this, it's what slaves should do." She expressed her determination, "Don't worry, Auntie, slaves are not Xiaohong's little girl who eats and eats - eats what auntie uses and uses auntie Yes, and she also talked about my aunt's affairs. At that time, my wife and... the servants didn't tell anyone a word, and they didn't even know about my family... Auntie, please don't worry."

Mrs. Gu couldn't help sneering in her heart. When Mrs. Gao said this, she might not be reminding herself that she was also an insider when she framed Mrs. Lin back then, so she didn't force her anymore. She just took the bracelet back and said with a moved face, "Your loyalty! I knew early on... Now that your two boys are growing up, I see that they are both very honest and proper. When I turn back, I will mention it to the master and arrange a few errands for them to practice and practice. stand up."

Mrs. Gao was overjoyed immediately, she thanked her a thousand times without mentioning it.Gu also took advantage of the opportunity to ask her how Yan Dayong was doing. The two whispered in the room for a while, but no one noticed a small figure under the window, quietly retreating...

……

"Did you really hear what they said?!" In the dirty and smelly yard, Jing Si threw away the brush in the bucket and stood up abruptly.

Xiaoju nodded, "It seems that sister Xiaohong told some secret about the madam to her lover—" She said with a puzzled face, "Sister Jingsi, didn't the madam move to the remote courtyard because of her poor health and need to recuperate? Why? Why are they still so mysterious..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jing Si quickly took off the smudged apron on her body.

"I'm going to leave the house immediately." Jing Si said solemnly, "Don't tell anyone what you heard just now, you understand?"

Xiaoju stared at her blankly for a while, then nodded with a half understanding, "I see."

........................

In the county government's study room, Song Zixun raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You say this is just rouge rice noodles mixed with buckwheat?"

Wu Zuo Xing cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."

"It shouldn't be..." Song Zixun frowned in confusion and said to himself.At first, I thought that I found some key evidence that might solve the mystery of Xiaohong's death, but who knew that the paper bag contained food!
Although the price of this rouge rice is higher than that of ordinary rice, it is not considered a rare item.When I went to Huo's house last time, Huo's mansion also treated them with rouge rice.

He really didn't understand why Xiaohong put away this thing in such a big way, and hid it in the interlayer of the box for fear of being discovered...

He didn't give up and said, "Aside from buckwheat flour and rouge rice flour, isn't there anything else in it?"

Feeling that his professionalism has been questioned like never before, Mr. Xing's face immediately turned a little ugly, and he said loudly, "Return to my lord, apart from rouge rice noodles and buckwheat flour, my subordinates can be sure that nothing else has been added. .”

"Mr. Xing, don't misunderstand," Song Zixun smiled, "I don't mean anything else, it's just a little strange..." He thought it was some kind of poison that sealed his throat with blood...

Song Zixun thought about it, and although he thought it was unlikely, he still couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xing, if you put these two together, is it possible...is it possible to cause damage to the human body?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.

Mr. Xing glanced at him with a very strange expression.

At first, it was considered reliable to see the newly appointed magistrate, but now I feel that my mind is not very bright...

However, his professional ethics did not allow him to show the slightest contempt and neglect to his superiors.Mr. Xing thought for a while, and seriously replied, "It is true that there is mutual generation and restraint between food, but my subordinates are ignorant, and I haven't heard of any harm caused by mixing buckwheat and rouge rice..."

Seeing the eyes of several yamen servants in the room looking at him at the same time, Song Zixun cleared his throat uncomfortably, and said seriously, "I am just guessing boldly..."

The yamen servants nodded in agreement, but they couldn't help but think in their hearts that the county magistrate doesn't know everything... Thinking about it, the children of a wealthy family like them might not even know what buckwheat tastes like...

"However," everyone was thinking silently, but Mr. Xing suddenly frowned and said, "Buckwheat is cold in nature and can easily induce chronic diseases...not everyone is suitable for eating."

"Oh?" Song Zixun suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Then who are not suitable for eating?"

"People with weak spleen and stomach, indigestion and frequent diarrhea should not eat buckwheat," Mr. Xing said. "According to the book, there are a small number of people who have symptoms such as skin itching, nausea and vomiting, and dyspnea after eating buckwheat. In severe cases, you may even die from shock." He paused, then added cautiously, "However, my subordinates have never seen anyone with this symptom caused by eating buckwheat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chang said in surprise, "There are still people in the world who can't eat buckwheat? It's too strange..."

"What is this?" Mr. Xing said disapprovingly, "There are still people who are born unable to eat rice, touch wood chips, flour, or even see the sun." *All will have adverse reactions... In short, the world is so big that there are no surprises."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it.

It was also the first time Song Zixun heard about it, so he couldn't help being stunned for a while, before asking, "These... are all from the books?"

Mr. Xing cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."

Song Zixun nodded slightly, "In this case, the deceased hid this bag so secretly, maybe there is some ulterior secret inside..."

Just as he was talking, he saw a yamen servant coming in from outside, and said back, "My lord, there is a girl who claims to be a girl from the Huo family, and said that she has something urgent to ask to see your lord."

"The Huo family?" Song Zixun frowned, "Did you tell me your name?"

"That's not true," the yamen servant thought for a while, "She only said that she was Mrs. Xianhuo's maidservant..."

This is really drowsy and someone handed a pillow... Song Zixun said quickly, "Go and invite her in."

……

Jingsi was so anxious along the way, she was finally led into Song Zixun's study by the yamen servant, and before the yamen servant reported it for her, she knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"My lord—" Jing Si slammed her head heavily on the ground, "I beg your lord to avenge my wife and young master!"
