The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 69 Suspect Object

When Mu Jinxi returned home, she only saw her mother and son there, turned around and walked to the field without saying a word, her father was not at home, not by the river, he must be in the field.

"Hey, Xiaoxi, what are you doing?" Mu Niangzi asked after seeing her daughter just entering the house and then going out, chasing after her.

Mu Jinxi said without turning her head: "Mother, I'm going to see my father, you and Xiaobao wait at home for my return, by the way, I'm a little hungry, you can cook something for me."

Mu Jinxi used a random reason to keep her mother at home. If she went out, she would be ridiculed and ridiculed until she shed tears. She didn't know how far she would be pushed.

Based on her memory, Mu Jinxi walked left and right on the small ridge for a long time before finally reaching the edge of her own field, and she saw a person in the field bent over and busy.

She had lived in a big city in her previous life and had never been to the countryside. She didn't know what it was like to work in the fields, and she didn't know how the white rice that she ate every day was grown. She didn't care about it. She only cares about how to strengthen the strength of her own group.

So here she is not interested in farm work, and has never been in the field, and her parents don't force her, let her do it according to her temper.

"Father! Come up, I have something to tell you." Mu Jinxi shouted loudly.

Father Mu was very surprised to hear his daughter's voice, "Xiaoxi? Why are you here? You don't even use an umbrella, be careful that you will be exposed to the sun again later."

While talking, Papa Mu's people had already walked up from the field, took his daughter to the side of the big tree, and took off the hat on her head, so as not to hurt her. It's no longer sunburned, the sun is poisonous now.

Mu Jinxi's heart warmed, and she felt the deep love of Mu Laopai as a father.

"Father, I'm fine. If I'm healthy, I'll treat it as disinfection." Mu Jinxi said quickly.

But her words frightened Old Mu, his dark face turned pale, "What? Disinfection? Have you been poisoned? When did it happen? My God, have you seen a doctor?"

Mu Jinxi was dumbfounded, then patted her forehead and said dumbfoundingly: "Father, you heard me wrong, I'm not poisoned, I'm fine, don't worry about it. I mean it's a good thing to bask in the sun once in a while. "

The original owner was in such poor health because he stayed at home for too long.

Papa Mu was still a little worried, he kept staring at her and asked, "Are you really alright?"

"It's really fine." Afraid that her father would pester her any further, Mu Jinxi quickly got down to business, "Dad, have you visited the Xiushui River today?"

"I've gone to see it. Dad has to go to the Xiushui River every day before he goes to work in the field. Since Shopkeeper Zhang has left the work to Dad, Dad must not be lazy."

Mu Jinxi frowned, saying that Xiushuihe was fine when Dad went there in the morning.

"Father, I'll tell you, but don't worry, you know?" Mu Jinxi said seriously.

Facing his daughter's serious face, Father Mu was inexplicably a little perturbed, and he said, "Why, what's the matter?"

Could it be that he did something terribly wrong again?Papa Mu was very worried.

Mu Jinxi said in a deep voice, "Father, the Xiushui River has been poisoned, and many fish in the river have died!"

Old Mu's eyes, which were already very big, were now as big as bull's eyes, and he roared out, "What? The Xiushui River was poisoned?! How is this possible? I was fine when I went for a walk in the morning. Yes!"

Mu Jinxi was so shaken by his voice that her ears almost buzzed. She rubbed her ears and said, "Father, didn't I tell you to calm down? It's already happened, there's no point in worrying. Let's go first Let’s have a look at the village head and talk about it.”

"Then let's go quickly. What can we do? All the fish in the river are really dead? Then how can I explain to shopkeeper Zhang! It's all money!" Old Mu fell into a panic.

"Father, don't panic, I will take care of this matter. Besides, all the fish are not dead. The Xiushui River is a flowing river, not a pond. Even if someone else poisons it, it won't affect the whole river. "Unless that person cast poison upstream, and the weight is very large.

But she guessed that the villagers of Xiushui Village did it, the purpose was to make father unlucky, so the poison should not be too much, otherwise it would affect several villages, so she was not so courageous.

She just doesn't know who did it, she thinks that Li Chili and Cuihua Niang are the most likely, they have a grudge against their Mu family.There is a motive for committing the crime.

Along the way, Mu Jinxi was thinking about who was most likely to do such a thing. It stands to reason that most of the villagers in Xiushui Village are simple and kind-hearted, and they would not use such crooked brains, and their thoughts are not so vicious.

Who is it?

When the father and daughter came to the village head's house, they were told that the village head had gone to Xiushui River, and they rushed to Xiushui River again.

When we arrived at Xiushui River, there were more people gathered than just now. Mu Jinxi twitched her mouth when she saw this scene. Does the whole village know about it?

"Ankang, you're here. What's going on here? Why did the fish in the Xiushui River die so well?" the village head asked hastily.

Papa Mu saw the face of the belly-turning fish in the river change, and when he slapped his thigh, he was distressed and angry, "Village chief, I don't know, I was fine when I came here in the morning. That's it!"

God, so many fish died, what can I do!Papa Mu didn't know what he thought of, and a lot of cold sweat rolled down his back.

"Village Chief, this matter has nothing to do with us. If the Peach Blossom Restaurant is to pursue the responsibility, then we should find Mu Ankang." Cuihua Niang was the first to rush to say, for fear that she would be involved in this matter. , Let yourself follow bad luck.

Hearing Cuihuaniang's voice, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but cast her eyes on her, her sharp eyes fixed on Cuihuaniang, trying to see something from her face and her behavior.
