Chapter 126 Something Happened
It is not difficult to get rid of the relationship. Manager Guo is very glad that he still has the leverage over Du Xuan in his hand, so he is not afraid that the other party will disobey.
As long as he used threats and bribes, he could put all the blame on Du Xuan, and then the matter would have nothing to do with him.
The most urgent thing is to let people see what happened last night so that he can prepare a response strategy. What if he was just overthinking it before? He still has a little hope in his heart that he can succeed this time.
If it really succeeded, he wouldn't have to frame anyone this time, and the reputation of Baiwei Restaurant would be completely ruined.
His subordinates worked quickly and quickly reported back the information they had obtained.
Last night, someone colluded and tried to poison Baiwei Restaurant. The person who did the poisoning has been detained by the county government officials.
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he heard the news of failure, Manager Guo was filled with disappointment and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
Failed again!
What kind of good luck does this Baiwei Restaurant have? Every time he tries to cause trouble, he ends up in failure!
"Send a few people to Du Xuan's house to take good care of his mother, and take the opportunity to deliver the message to the county government office. Don't let anyone find out during this period. Tell Du Xuan that I will take good care of his mother." At this point, Manager Guo could only implement the solution he could think of.
Du Xuan in prison was not surprised to hear this. Although it was a bit sad, he had expected this result. It didn't matter if something happened to him, as long as his mother was safe.
"I understand. Tell the master that you can rest assured." Ever since he was discovered and exposed last night, Du Xuan had never thought of giving out Manager Guo.
His identity cannot withstand investigation at all. Even if he was doing things according to orders, those things were all his doing. If you really look into it, your treatment is not much better than it is now.
Instead of dragging Manager Guo to take action, it would be better for him to take full responsibility for the crime. At least Manager Guo would not be so harsh on his mother and would treat her well because he saw that he was protecting his master.
Zhou Yayi arrived at Baiwei Restaurant early in the morning. He looked at Pei Yian and Ji Zhisui with some apology.
"Shopkeeper Pei, Miss Ji, even though the man in black confessed everything, he was only doing it for money and has no idea who the murderer is. As for Du Xuan, he's even tight-lipped, and we can't get a peep out of him. He's even trying to put all the blame on himself. Furthermore, Huang Zhubu is putting pressure on me. Shopkeeper Pei, what's the point of you asking me to spread this information?"
Even though they knew that this matter was related to Manager Guo of Yushan Pavilion, they had no evidence and only arrested Du Xuan, so they still couldn't do anything about Yushan Pavilion.
When he was interrogating Du Xuan, Huang Zhubu also came over and said that since the murderer had been caught, he should be convicted, and the mass grave case was more important at the moment.
Although this was true, Zhou Yayi was unwilling to give up. He had promised Baiwei Restaurant that he would catch the rat behind the scenes. It seemed that Du Xuan was just following orders.
Although they have different functions, the chief clerk is one level higher than him.
Zhou Yayi had no choice but to put the man in jail and then send Huang Zhubu away.
He really didn't understand what Pei Yian was up to, so he could only come to them to discuss it.
"Huang Zhubu?" Pei Yian raised his eyebrows after hearing this. This was not the first time he heard this name. He had heard it once when he helped Manager Wu catch mice.
At that time, the Zhang family embroidery workshop was able to act without fear, and it seemed that it had the support of Huang Zhubu behind it. Thinking about it this way, this Zhubu must have done a lot of matchmaking, and now he also wants to interfere in Manager Guo's affairs.
"Yes, Huang Zhubu used to be a yamen runner. Now the county magistrate has asked him to assist me in handling the case at the mass grave."
Pei Yian nodded to show his understanding, and said comfortingly: "This matter will have a result soon. I just wonder if Mr. Zhou can let me meet with Du Xuan?"
"Of course." This was not a difficult task. Zhou, the yamen runner, brought Pei Yian to the cell where he was held.
Du Xuan was held in solitary confinement in a small cell. After Du Xuan was arrested, Zhou the yamen runner also called over the three people who had caused trouble in front of the Baiwei Restaurant, and the three of them all pointed out Du Xuan.
It was a foregone conclusion that Du Xuan was guilty, and he seemed to know this as well. He hung his head, huddled in a corner, and said nothing.
After hearing the noise, he slowly raised his head, and after seeing Pei Yian's words, he immediately looked away.
"I heard from Officer Zhou that you were the one who planned all those things?"
"It's me." Du Xuan accepted it all. He would never involve Manager Guo anyway.
"Mr. Du is truly a man of character. I guess there is nothing left in this world worth remembering."
Knowing that this was a test of him, Du Xuan remained quiet and didn't even glance at him, making it clear that he was not going to be fooled. He was indeed very stubborn.
Pei Yian was not in a hurry, fearing that his previous words hadn't hit the mark. "I heard that Mr. Du's mother has tuberculosis and is bedridden every day. Hasn't recovered in years?"
These words finally evoked a response from the man in front of him. He raised his eyes and looked at Pei Yian, with a nervousness in his eyes and face that he himself was not aware of, his hands hanging at his side, clenched tightly.
"If I had known Mr. Du had such a problem, he would have come to me for help. Look at my poor memory, I even forgot to tell you that my family is from the capital. My grandfather also had tuberculosis. After being treated by a doctor in the capital, my grandfather's health improved a lot. I have a talent, and I have learned a lot of pharmacology from the doctors in the capital, so I am quite good at treating tuberculosis."
Pei Yi really didn't lie when he said this, but this doctor from the capital was an old imperial physician who had been in the palace for many years.
Du Xuan was attracted at first, but after hearing these words, she didn't believe it. This man was definitely lying to her and was trying to get something out of her.
"It's okay if Master Du doesn't believe me, but I don't know how long your mother can hold on. If you've thought it through, you can tell the yamen runner Zhou."
After saying that, Pei Yian turned and left, as if he didn't care much about the matter.
It was this indifferent attitude that made Du Xuan feel uneasy and he kept thinking about Pei Yian's words. What exactly did he mean by this? Did something unexpected happen to his mother?
No!
It's impossible. He is in prison now. In order to keep himself stable, Manager Guo will never and dare not do anything. He also needs to find a miracle doctor to treat his mother.
Before Du Xuan could comfort himself, a man rushed in and said, "Brother Du, something bad has happened to your mother!"
