Chapter 198: Qin Canglan Is Here (One More)
Chapter 198 Qin Canglan is here (one more)
is the poisoning of the old marquis.
Su Mo started the investigation from the mansion. He asked the confidant guards to carefully investigate all the servants in the mansion who had the opportunity to come into contact with the old man’s diet, and found nothing unusual, so he ruled out the possibility of doing it in the mansion.
From this point of view, at least the interior of the Hou Mansion is safe.
There is no chance to start in the house, so the only chance to start is to buy ingredients from outside the house.
The huge Houfu has dozens of ingredients every day, not including the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and rice that are regularly purchased…
This is a huge project, but fortunately, the emperor paid off, and finally let his trusted guards catch a butcher selling meat this morning.
“It’s a butcher surnamed Hu.”
The confidant guard said, “The old man loves meat. He has been buying meat from his house for the past few years, and he has never made any mistakes.”
Su Mo asked, “Is there something wrong with this butcher?”
The confidant guard shook his head: “No, he’s fine, it was the zongzi leaves he used to wear the meat that people soaked in venom. In order not to be discovered, the dose is very small, and it’s not good to eat it once or twice, but it takes a month or two. Hard to say.”
Su Xiaoxiao said: “Why aren’t others poisoned?”
The confidant guard replied: “The old man only likes to eat the tenderest rib meat, and every time he prepares it for the old man alone, the cook in the house occasionally steals his mouth, but one is that he doesn’t eat much, and the other is, There are several cooks in our house, and it’s not always the same cook who eats it. But they have been a little dizzy recently, they just think they are too tired and don’t take it seriously. ”
seems to be chronic poisoning too.
Su Mo asked, “Where’s the hawker selling Zongye?”
The confidant guard said embarrassedly: “I caught it…but, the little one didn’t pay attention, and he was inadvertently and let him bite his tongue and commit suicide.”
Su Xiaoxiao said: “The average person can’t bite off his tongue.”
This is a bureau, specially for the old marquis, no, maybe it is a bureau set up for the entire Zhenbeihoufu.
Su Mo was obviously not satisfied with the result. He was not angry, and he still looked gentle. However, Su Xiaoxiao noticed with sharp eyes that the guard’s forehead was beginning to sweat finely.
The eldest son of the Su family is not as simple as it seems.
“But—” The confidant guard breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that he didn’t stop there, and he continued to investigate.
“The man’s name is Xiangzi. He came to the capital in October last year. It looked like at the end of the month. He came with a caravan, and he broke up with the caravan for some reason. Day laborers, the zong leaves are sold from that shop.”
“The shop has not found any problems for the time being. However, according to the shopkeeper’s account, Xiangzi has a concubine in a big family. Once, the shopkeeper bumped into him. Xiangzi threatened him not to speak out, or else he would become him.”
Su Mo frowned: “Which big family?”
Hesitating for a while, the confidant guard said, “God Protector’s Mansion.”
…
After the confidant’s guards withdrew, Su Mo fell into deep thought.
“What are you thinking?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Mo said solemnly: “In October last year, a major incident happened in Zhenbei Hou’s mansion.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and motioned him to speak down.
Su Mo said: “Grandfather and father had a big quarrel in the study. That day was grandmother’s birthday banquet, and there were many guests. Grandfather threatened to abolish father’s heirship, and this word was spread. Grandfather just met with When my father broke up, there was a ‘peddler’ who wanted to poison my grandfather, I don’t think it was a coincidence.”
“Why are they arguing?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Mo said sternly: “For the purpose of moving the ancestral hall, my father proposed to move the ancestral hall to the capital, but my grandfather did not agree and made a big fuss. In fact, it was just an angry remark. How could father and son have an overnight feud? Awe-inspiring. The big family, the hatred of sisters, the hatred of brothers, the hatred of fathers and sons, the list goes on and on.”
Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”
Su Mo glanced at her and said, “If you didn’t find out that grandfather was poisoned in time, the worst result would be that grandfather and his old man were gone, all kinds of evidence pointing to my father’s murder of his father in order to keep his title, all of them would jump. come out.”
Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”
Su Mo: “…”
Su Mo opened the snack box on the table and pushed it to her.
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at a jar full of smashed walnuts and blinked oddly.
“Don’t you like to eat this?” Su Mo asked.
Su Xiaoxiao picked up one and looked over and over again.
Is this really a smashed walnut?
Which obsessive-compulsive disorder hit?
is so complete!
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite.
“How’s your uncle?” Su Mo asked.
When they left yesterday, Su Cheng was still in a coma. They could see that Su Cheng was stimulated. In order to prevent Su Cheng from being stimulated again, they decided to go home first.
Otherwise, according to the old man’s temperament, it would be better to bring Su Cheng’s family back together.
Su Xiaoxiao briefly explained the situation of Father Su.
Su Mo heard the words and was silent for a long time.
“It’s okay if you don’t remember.”
he said.
What that painful memory is, you can probably guess without asking.
The aunt used her life to hold the assassin in exchange for a chance of life for her own flesh and blood.
Su Cheng most likely witnessed the brutal murder of his mother.
He was only a six-year-old child at the time, this scene would be unbearable for anyone else.
Neither of the two mentioned the matter of restoring Father Su’s memory. Restoring his memory is only painful, without any benefit. As for whether there will be any clues to find the murderer in Father Su’s memory—
Are they dead?
Or are they so incompetent that they need to use this painful method to find clues?
Su Xiaoxiao will not allow anyone to hurt Father Su, including herself.
Father Su has suffered too much, and she doesn’t want him to be sad again for the rest of her life.
The hatred of the year, just leave it to her.
Those people, she won’t let any of them go.

Pear Lane.
After Xiaohu and Erhu got up, Dahu showed off to his two stinky brothers the sweet time of walking the foal with his mother and eating roasted sweet potatoes together.
The two tigers were jealous and ran to the gate, but they didn’t see their mother coming back after waiting for a long time.
The two were wronged Baba and were about to cry.
Big Tiger: “A little bit!”
Who made you stay in bed!
Two tigers and the little tiger are fierce.
Today’s brother is so bad!
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry, grandpa bakes sweet potatoes for you.”
Su Cheng went to the stove and baked two big, black sweet potatoes.
Erhu and Xiaohu refused in their hearts, but seeing that their grandfather’s face was blackened by the stove ashes, they still stretched out their little hands and took a piece of roasted sweet potato…
Ugh.
It’s so unpalatable—
Then Su Cheng took the three little animals to the alley for a horse ride.
Qin Canglan just came back from a trip.
happened to pass by Zhuangyuan Street and remembered that my granddaughter seemed to be learning the piano in Lihua Lane.
“Go to Lihua Lane.”
he said to the driver.
Is there a monthly pass?
The kind that lets father and son meet.
