When the poisoning incident happened, Tong Qian'er was so angry that she immediately wanted to report it to the official, but was stopped by Chu Qingyi. She didn't know much about Yongquan Town at that time. This place was under the jurisdiction of the capital. As she said
She said that her father was the head official in the capital... Jing Zhaoyin also wanted to listen to her father. There were too few upright people these days. She was afraid that reporting herself as an official would force some people to jump over the wall. But she had to be careful.
I asked Tong Qian'er to go out and inquire about it, and then I learned about the magical existence of Zhang Captou.
After much deliberation, she decided to invite Mr. Zhang to come over.
She first agreed with Capt. Zhang that if she couldn't find evidence, that would be fine. If she could find evidence, she would ask Capt. Zhang to help hide something first, and when the time was right, she would arrest the person and bring him to justice. That's why this was the case.
The evidence was found at that time. According to the agreement with Chu Qingyi, Zhang Captou had always claimed that he had found nothing. Zhang Captou also sympathized with Chu Qingyi from the bottom of his heart, so he was willing to help.
her.
Everyone's eyes almost went straight when they saw a large bamboo basket full of money. Everyone knows this basket, it is the largest basket used to buy vegetables in the courtyard. Grandma Lei used to put this basket in her eyes every time she went out to do shopping.
The basket was placed on the cart. In the past few days, the basket has disappeared, but everyone is still looking for it...
This basket can probably hold four to five hundred taels of cash... No wonder it needs someone to carry it!
Chu Qingyi smiled faintly and said, "Explain me, why do you have so much cash hidden in your room? Are you using the baskets used to buy vegetables in other courtyards?"
Aunt Lei looked at the silver that shone in the sun, her eyes were red, and she was so heartbroken! "How could this slave know?" Aunt Lei swallowed hard and forced herself to say, she was even more so.
He forced himself to look away from the silver, "Second girl, you can't do this. How about finding the silver? Is it possible that the other courtyard also lost the silver? Whoever put it in the slave's house to frame the slave is like that.
It looks like a bag of peacock gallbladder, maybe it was bought by someone else in this village! The girl can send someone to the prescription to ask about it!"
"Oh? That's right!" Chu Qingyi said with a smile, "Whose money is this? Does anyone come out to identify it?"
Everyone looked at each other, who could stand up and recognize this...
"It seems that no one recognizes the silver! It is true that no one in this courtyard has lost any money. This courtyard now belongs to me. Since the ownerless silver is found on my property, it naturally belongs to me.
?Everyone has no objection!?" Chu Qingyi smiled even more vigorously, like a flower.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to say that they have any objections, no one has lost any money, this courtyard really belongs to the second girl now, no one claims the money, but it is not the second girl.
Of?
"Copper coins, since we got so much money for nothing, let's keep it first!" Chu Qingyi said with a smile.
Tong Qian'er immediately beamed, "Okay!" She immediately covered the cloth again on the basket and moved the basket towards her feet.
"Oh, I picked up five hundred taels of silver for nothing, how good it is!" Chu Qingyi said with a deliberate sigh.
Aunt Lei had forgotten to resist, and stared at Chu Qingyi dumbfounded. How could she be like this?... This was her money! But she couldn't recognize it... For a moment, she didn't know that she should feel heartbroken first.
It’s better to be afraid first!
"Zhang Captou, let's continue. Since she doesn't recognize the money, let's give her other evidence." Chu Qingyi said to Zhang Captou with a smile.
"Yes." Zhang Captou couldn't help but laugh. The second girl of Prime Minister Chu's Mansion is quite interesting... He has seen so many dirty things in the back house, like the second girl who took advantage of the evil man's money first.
, this is the first time I’ve seen you...
"Seven days ago, someone saw you going to the Chunfeng Teahouse in the town to drink tea with a man in gray clothes when you were buying vegetables in the morning." Zhang Captou cleared his throat and said, "Then after you sent the vegetables back to the other courtyard,
So I took this basket and put it on the car and left Yongquan Town. Don’t rush to refute, I have found witnesses. There are many people in this town who recognize you. With your size, you can hide wherever you go.
Unable to live."
After Zhang Captou finished speaking, someone among the servants whispered, "Let me tell you, that basket was the one that Grandma Lei took out that day and then disappeared!"
Lei Shi glared angrily when he heard this, "Fart! What if I just brought a basket out? You just found a medicine bag with peacock gall under the bricks on the pot table, so you can say it is mine? Since I want to poison and murder someone
Master, where can I leave any evidence? I'm not stupid! I don't know who went to the pharmacy and bought a pack of medicine to frame me! Why didn't the official go check it out?" She burned the pack of medicine at that time.
Yes! As for the medicine bag found under the bricks, it must be a fake! It must be that Chu Qingyi couldn't find any evidence, so he forged it to frame her! She glared at Chu Qingyi fiercely, and this hoof was even cheating her money.
!
"Keep your mouth clean! Otherwise, I will sue you for contempt of official duties!" Zhang Captou said angrily, "Early on the day of the poisoning incident, you took a leave of absence from the officials, saying that there was an emergency at home and that you had to go back and take a look.
Since there is an emergency and the housekeeper has granted you leave, why do you delay it until the afternoon? Instead of leaving early? That is because you want to make sure that the plate of food you poisoned will be brought to the second girl and not to others.
People misused it. Yes, you are not stupid, you don't want to leave evidence. In fact, you did not deliberately hide the medicine bag in the loose bricks under the pot, but you thought that you could burn the peacock gall by throwing it into the pot.
Unfortunately, there were some loose bricks inside the pot, so the medicine bag did not fall into the stove. Instead, it slipped along the cracks of the bricks and fell under the cracks of another brick. You were guilty and ran away in a hurry, so naturally you didn't take a second look.
.This has left evidence, right?”
"Slanders are all slander!" Aunt Lei said in a panic. She said, she obviously threw the paper bag into the pot and burned it, how could anyone find it! That's why she was sure that the medicine bag was Chu Qing.
She wanted to buy it to forge evidence! Now that Captain Zhang said this, she was really panicked! So even though she was shouting slander, her momentum was no longer as good as before!
"You said that I slandered you. You went to buy poison like peacock gall when you had nothing to do, and you happened to take leave at this time. You also took away the basket that originally belonged to the kitchen, and the basket happened to be found in your room.
It's full of silver. How do you explain this series of things?" Zhang Captou snorted coldly. "This medicine bag has traces of being burned by fire. Unfortunately, it was separated by fire bricks, and it was only slightly burned.
It's just the corner." After saying that, Agent Zhang took out the paper bag again and turned it in another direction. Sure enough, there were traces of being burned by the fire on the other side of the paper bag. Just now, Agent Zhang showed the corner
It was pinched, and no one noticed it.
Aunt Lei was immediately speechless... She looked at Zhang Captou in a panic, and then at Chu Qingyi, who was still smiling.
"Don't look at me. Do you think I deliberately gave false evidence? I am very ill, but I don't have the energy and strength. You took leave with the housekeeper and left with the money for a few days. You originally wanted to escape
Yes! But before you could go far, you heard that the officials had found nothing. You felt that you had probably passed this level, so you came back with the money. When you came back it was the day before yesterday
That night, the reason why you didn't come back immediately was because you wanted to observe again to see if the situation in this courtyard was really calm. Only when you are sure that I will not continue to pursue this matter can you rest assured, because only by coming back can you
Keep poisoning me! If I don’t die, you won’t be able to hold the money safely, right? The one who opened the door for you was your friend in this other courtyard, and it was him who reported the news to you! The two of you put the money together
Hidden in your room, because you are the steward of the dining room in this other courtyard, so you have a separate room and courtyard. You don’t want to admit it, but your lover has already recognized him... He is now over there with Zhang Captou
Waiting for you to reunite with him!" Chu Qingyi smiled.
Lei's face turned ashen... She asked why she hadn't seen Ah Hui's dead head in the past two days... It turned out that he was taken away by Captain Zhang!
Lei Shi suddenly collapsed to the ground like a piece of mud.
Zhang Captou snorted, "Come here, take this sinful woman away!" Then he clasped his fists at Chu Qingyi and said, "I'm afraid I have to take this money away as evidence first," Zhang Captou pointed at the woman on the ground.
A basket well protected by coins.
Chu Qingyi pouted slightly, "I haven't even used the money to keep warm! Forget it, Zhang Tou can use it as evidence! Just remember to pay it back to me!"
"When this matter is confirmed, I promise to return the girl's money to the girl as soon as possible." Zhang Captou couldn't help but laugh and said. "I will definitely not lose a tael to the girl!"
"Then thank you so much for Zhang Baotou. I'll send you some copper coins to Zhang Baotou." Chu Qingyi also nodded and saluted.
After the group of people left with Aunt Lei, Chu Qingyi coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I let you watch a show."
Everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to raise their eyes to look at Chu Qingyi. How could these two girls be like the rumors? They looked like smiling tigers. With a smile, they sent away Lei, the most powerful person in the house besides the housekeeper.
It’s grandma!
"As you can see, my father has given it to me in this other courtyard. I know that many of you are old people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but something like this happened to me just after I came here to recuperate. It really makes me dare not continue to use everyone.
Now." Chu Qingyi sat upright and said slowly, "I don't know what you are thinking about these days when I am sick. I don't want to raise some white-eyed wolves here.
There is a list here. Those whose names will be read will just pack up and leave. I will give you two taels of silver as severance pay. As for your whereabouts, I will naturally not care about it. I will go back to the capital on my own with the contract of betrayal.
The Prime Minister and his wife will go, and those who don’t have a bond will find other ways on their own.”
As soon as Chu Qingyi said these words, many people's faces suddenly turned bad... Although there are many villas for dignitaries in the capital in Yongquan Town, they don't have to worry about finding things to do, but if they are taken away from Prime Minister Chu
It's a different matter if someone was kicked out of his villa... If he had the reputation of being a neglectful master, who would dare to use him?
