Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 644 644. Shantang and his party (45)

Ren Buqing made a gesture, and the soldiers who followed him immediately dispersed and surrounded the whole house.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a tall man appeared behind the door, with a square face, ambition, vicissitudes, and exhaustion on his face, Zhang Guangsheng was undoubtedly.

He was holding a bowl in his hand, which was filled with pitch-black medicine. He looked at everyone and was obviously taken aback. After he realized it, he ran away without thinking.

With a movement of Ge Lihua's hand, an embroidery needle flew over and pierced Zhang Guangsheng's thigh.

Zhang Guangsheng threw himself on the ground, the bowl in his hand shattered, and the medicine spilled all over the floor. Instead of running away, he burst into tears, depressing, dull, and helpless. His crying sounded very uncomfortable.

The soldiers stepped forward and arrested the man.

Ren Buqing walked over and handed Zhang Guangsheng a handkerchief, this man was quite pitiful, "Wipe it."

Zhang Guangsheng looked at the handkerchief, but instead of reaching out to take it, he cried even more uncontrollably.

Ren Buqing waited for a while, "Where is your friend?"

With the movement of Chu Qing's slender fingers, a faint light flashed.

Zhang Guangsheng couldn't control himself and said, "They are Zheng Er and Xu San, but we didn't take the initiative to kill Zhou Youyuan and Xu Youchang. We were instructed by someone who gave us money to kill them."

Ren Buqing frowned, "Who?"

Zhang Guangsheng was overwhelmed, "I don't know. He was wearing a cloak and his face was covered. We couldn't see his face clearly. When he found us, we were all short of money, so he agreed for a while."

Chu Xujin, "Where are the two of them now?"

Zhang Guangsheng raised his head and looked at the house he just walked out of, with a dejected expression on his face, "They are all in that room."

Ren Buqing ordered, "Arrest!"

Si Bing quickly entered the room and escorted Zheng Er and Xu San out. When Zheng Er and Xu San saw this, they both regretted it and knelt down on the ground helplessly.

Chu Qingzhi asked the three of them, "You just said that he will give you money after the matter is completed, where is the money?"

Zhang Guangsheng glanced at Zheng Er and Xu San, and said resignedly, "We have hidden the money, I will take you to get it."

The money was buried under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard where the three of them hid, and it was put in a clay pot, a total of one thousand taels of silver bills.

Si Bing hugged the pot to Ren Buqing, "My lord."

Standing next to Ren Buqing, Chu Qingzhi took out the bank note from the clay pot, and smelled it carefully, "This bank note is stained with eucalyptus (a kind of incense), which is so expensive that most people can't afford it."

Ren Buqing soon had a direction for investigation, "There are only three shops in the capital that sell expensive incense, and the customers are either rich or expensive. You can find out when you check."

Chu Xujin was a little excited, "My lord, do you want to check overnight?"

"No, let's go back to rest now, and we'll continue the investigation tomorrow." Ren Buqing patted Chu Xujin's shoulder, just like him back then, always wanting to find out the truth quickly.

Chu Xujin smiled and nodded, "I've listened to you, sir."

...

General's Mansion.

The light was on in the study, and a figure writing at the desk was printed on the window, and the orange light flickered slightly.

Chu Qingzhi held a food box in his hand, opened the door and entered the study, "Jing Hong, come over for supper."

Tang Jinghong got up and walked out from behind the desk, approached Chu Qingzhi, and gently embraced him, "I thought you wouldn't come here anymore."

"I'll come if I say I want to come, but if it's too late next time, you can use the Golden Feather Phoenix to ask me."

"Okay." Tang Jinghong let go of Chu Qingzhi, then lifted the food box and took out the supper inside, "How is the investigation going?"

"Very well, tomorrow we will know who the real murderer is, how about you?"

"We have caught all the lines of Lord Zhang's smuggling of sulfur, and the progress has been very smooth."

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

The two chatted while eating, and at the end of the meal, Tang Jinghong asked, "Qing Zhi, the case is over, are you going back to the village?"

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Yes, do you want to go back to the village with us?"

Tang Jinghong's voice was a little more apologetic, "I have to deal with the matter of Prince Zhang before I can go back to the village, but I will definitely come back before your birthday."

Her birthday is on the first day of October, and it's only a few days away. "It doesn't matter if you can't make it back in time. It's important."

"Your birthday is also very important."

"Then I'll wait for you to come back to celebrate my birthday."

"good."

...

Chu Mansion.

Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui came to the Chu Mansion together, and when they thought of Chu Qingzhi, they felt a little guilty in their hearts, and when they looked at each other, they could see the uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Luo Jisheng walked towards the guard, "We're looking for Miss Qing Zhi, is she there?"

The guard looked at the two scholars, thought for a while and said, "She is here, wait a moment, I will report."

"Thank you."

Chu Qingzhi was packing her things, after hearing what the guard said, she hesitated for a moment, but decided to come out to meet her, "What do you want from me?"

When Luo Jisheng saw Chu Qingzhi, his aura involuntarily weakened by half, and he bowed nervously, "Miss Qingzhi, you asked us to repair the Shantang earlier, and it has been repaired now, do you want to go and see it?"

Yan Jingkui hurriedly said, "The emperor said that if the girl is not satisfied, this matter will not be over." He added, "We have prepared a sedan chair, so it won't take a lot of time for the girl."

Chu Qingzhi looked behind the two of them, and there was a very luxurious sedan chair parked not far away, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Both Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Please, girl."

Shantang is not far from the slums, and it took a while to get there.

There are a total of 257 people in the shantang.

Among them was an old man who was in charge of all the affairs of the shantang and also made money to support the shantang.

There are four helpers. They are all disabled, but they do not affect their daily life. The old man found them homeless and picked them up. It is very pitiful.

Two women who cook and cook, one old man who looks after the door, and the rest are unwanted children.

There are the most wealthy people in the capital, but no one notices the children who are struggling to survive in this corner.

Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui came to help them repair the shantang, and everyone in the shantang was very moved and grateful.

But Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui didn't dare to take the credit, and told the truth to the people in Shantang that it was Chu Qingzhi who asked them to repair the house.

No, knowing that Chu Qingzhi was coming to Shantang, everyone in Shantang waited at the door to greet her, and everyone looked forward to it.

The sedan chair finally appeared in sight, and the old man stepped forward to salute, "Thank you for repairing the good hall, please accept the old man's worship."

Chu Qingzhi quickly helped the old gentleman up, "It's not worth mentioning, the old gentleman doesn't need to be polite."

The old man's tone was full of gratitude, "Miss Chu is very kind, we in the shantang will remember that when the children grow up, they will repay the girl."

Chu Qingzhi smiled, "You don't need to repay me, just live a good life."

Unexpectedly, this simple sentence made many people cry. For others, survival is very simple, but for those who have been abandoned, it is even more difficult.
