Young Master Wu was stopped by Shi Qingluo and he wanted to tear her apart.
He said with a dark face: "Don't force me to hit a woman."
Shi Qingluo rolled his eyes, "Then why don't you come and fight me!"
She knocked down a weakling like Young Master Wu with just a few punches.
Young Master Wu was really going crazy. "I told you, we didn't poison you."
"My father is the head of the family. If you have anything, go find him."
Shi Qingluo shook his head. "No, your father is following the government officials to investigate the case. How can I get the antidote if I follow him? I will follow you."
He waved his hand as if to show his sympathy, "It's okay, just do your thing and I'll just follow you."
Young Master Wu: "..." Thank you so much, can you be a decent person? But there was no time to talk nonsense with Shi Qingluo, he quickly headed towards the deserted yard.
At this time, Shi Lao Da's youngest son, Shi Liulang, walked out from behind a pillar after Master Wu left.
He quickly ran to Shi Qingluo and whispered, "Sister, those yamen runners didn't find anything in that yard."
Before coming, Shi Qingluo instructed Shi Liulang to sneak away and follow the yamen runners when Old Lady Shi and others were making a fuss, and report to her immediately if anything happened.
She then instructed Shi Liulang, "Run out of the house and find my husband at the teahouse across the street. Tell him that Young Master Wu beat me up."
Then he took a handful of copper coins from his purse and gave them to him.
If you want cows to work, you have to feed them grass.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Shi Liulang took the copper coin, stuffed it into his clothes immediately, and ran away.
Then Shi Qingluo took Xiao Baili and chased after Young Master Wu.
When Young Master Wu arrived at the deserted yard, he saw several yamen runners looking for something, and his heart skipped a beat.
He walked over with a gloomy face, "Officers, why are you here?"
Because of his relationship with the prefect, he always felt that he was superior to the county yamen runners.
A bailiff said with a smile: "Shi Tongsheng said that someone wanted to kill him to silence him, and then that person failed, so he ran towards this yard. We are searching for the murderer."
Young Master Wu: “…” Can your story be more reliable?
He was now certain that Mo Qingling might know something wrong with their yard.
But judging from the looks of these people, they haven't found the mechanism.
He also didn't think that these ordinary yamen runners could find the things that their family had specially hired the skilled people who were good at machinery to set up.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then everyone should look for it quickly, and then go to other courtyards to look."
After this investigation, Mo Qingling will no longer have any doubts in the future.
Moreover, they will move to the provincial capital in a few days, so Mo Qingling will not find an excuse to search their house.
He cursed Shi Lao Si in his heart, cursing all his ancestors for eighteen generations.
That bastard actually betrayed his own people and colluded with Shi Qingluo and his wife and Mo Qingling to do trouble.
It's just a fart of poison, that must be an excuse.
As for the poisoning confirmed by the doctor, it must have been caused by Xiao Hanzheng. After all, that guy was the apprentice of some miracle doctor.
But I have to say, this excuse is indeed good.
When Lao Si was poisoned in Wu's house, the government could indeed come to his house to investigate after reporting the case.
What a good plan.
Looking at these yamen runners looking around like headless flies without any clue, there was a hint of pride and superiority in his eyes.
If they were found like this, their family would have died countless times.
At this moment, Qing Luo just came in and saw the smug look in Young Master Wu's eyes.
The previous suspicion was confirmed, so I prepared to use the second option.
She herself is not good at finding mechanisms, so her husband has to do it for her.
So he immediately rushed over and grabbed Young Master Wu, "Why are you running? Are you feeling guilty?"
"Come on, get me the antidote right now." Then she grabbed Young Master Wu's arm and tried to drag him out.
Young Master Wu sneered in his heart. These people were indeed cooperating with Mo Qingling to check the yard.
Now I just want him to leave as soon as possible so as not to hinder these yamen runners from investigating.
He didn't either.
"I'm telling you this for the last time. We didn't poison you. Don't make trouble, or I'll be rude to you."
After saying this, he pushed Shi Qingluo away.
Shi Qing fell to the ground.
She didn't stand up either, she looked up at Master Wu and glared at him, "You actually hit me, I'm going to let my husband deal with you."
Young Master Wu discovered that this woman was worthy of being from the Shi family, as she was just as naughty and unreasonable.
"I don't even know where your husband is."
Just as Young Master Wu finished speaking, Xiao Hanzheng's voice was heard at the gate of the courtyard.
"Mr. Wu is so arrogant. How did my wife offend you? You actually hit her."
Seeing Xiao Hanzheng coming in, Shi Qingluo immediately stood up and complained with red eyes, "He scolded me and beat me, and he didn't even give my fourth uncle the antidote."
Xiao Hanzheng looked at her with a look of heartache.
Then he walked over with a sullen face and said, "Mr. Wu, please give me an explanation."
Young Master Wu: "..." Are these guys done? They come one after another, it's definitely premeditated.
He also frowned, "I didn't beat or scold her."
Shi Qingluo glared at him and said, "You didn't hit me, so why did I fall to the ground?"
Young Master Wu: "..." How could he know? He was so tired that he didn't even want to explain.
Shi Qingluo didn't wait for him to speak and saw Mo Qingling who also followed him in.
She immediately said, "Lord Mo, you have to make the decision for me!"
"The Wu family poisoned my fourth uncle and hired someone to kill him to silence him. Now they are beating and scolding a woman like me. I want to sue them on behalf of my fourth uncle."
Young Master Wu's expression changed: "Shi Qingluo, stop accusing others and throwing dirty water on them with your red mouth and white teeth."
"If you do this, I will sue you for false accusation."
Shi Qingluo said indifferently: "Go ahead and sue me. It's my fourth uncle who accused you of harming people and asked me to sue you. It's none of my business."
Young Master Wu: “…” I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.
It was the first time that Mo Qingling saw Shi Qingluo being unreasonable and confusing right and wrong.
He couldn't help but smile, but his face was serious, "Master Wu, since Shi Tongsheng has reported you, I will investigate."
"Shi Tongsheng said someone wanted to kill him, and then he ran over here. Do you have anything to say?"
Young Master Wu immediately said, "Sir, this is all a false accusation by the Shi family. Shi Tongsheng's poisoning has nothing to do with our family."
"We didn't have anyone kill him, and there's no murderer hiding here."
"We in the Wu family are honest and have nothing to be ashamed of. If you don't believe me, you can search the place."
Anyway, they couldn't find anything, so those yamen runners just now were unsuccessful.
Shi Qingluo suddenly pulled Xiao Hanzheng and said, "Husband, my fourth uncle is in such a miserable state. You should also go with us to search and find the killer, so that some bad guys won't turn the tables and blame him."
Xiao Hanzheng squeezed her hand and said, "Okay, I'll help Fourth Uncle as well."
Young Master Wu: “…” I don’t know who is trying to put the blame on others. How shameless.
However, he didn't mind if Xiao Hanzheng wanted to follow them to search.
What can a scholar understand about mechanical techniques?
After these people have worked in vain, he will sue them for false accusations, huh!
