Naituanzi glanced at Mao Liuer's half-smiling face with disgust.
[I hate people who are ugly but want to be beautiful. You want to take me away, but you don’t have the ability. The tofu pudding is OK, but the egg cake is too dry and not tasty. Bad review.]
The old lady took a bite of the salty tofu pudding, turned to look at her little granddaughter with a smile on her lips.
She doesn’t know what a bad review is, but judging by its meaning, it means it’s very bad!
The tofu pudding is really good. People in the north love to grow beans and also use beans to make tofu, so it’s no surprise that the tofu pudding is so good.
After the three of them finished eating, they put down their silver and money and walked away slowly.
Mao Liuer attentively saw them off to the door, and only after he saw them go away did the fawning smile on his face disappear.
He is determined to obtain the Dongsheng National Master.
If the Northern Kingdom could obtain a national teacher, the other three kingdoms would surely take notice.
I just don't know whether the Khan will believe what the Imperial Master said. Today's Khan is getting older and more self-willed. His sons are fighting among themselves, but he not only does not stop them, but also turns a blind eye to it.
This invisibly fueled the fighting between the princes. I heard that the eldest prince was seriously injured. If he couldn't find a good doctor, he might never be able to stand up in his life and would have to spend the rest of his life lying in bed.
Chu Zhinan went to find Wang Mingkui on purpose and told him what happened. He was stunned.
"The tofu shop in the west of the city is actually opened by a northerner? This is a big deal. Thank you, Prince Qin, for telling me. Don't worry! I will send people to keep an eye on them. If they dare to take action, they will be caught.
Wow! The madam of Baihualou is actually from the north. There are indeed many snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in our capital. The west part of the city is indeed quite chaotic and easy to hide in. "
"It's good that the prefect has a plan. As this concerns the country and the well-being of the people, we should be more cautious."
Chu Zhinan politely bowed to Wang Mingkui, but he pulled him down: "Why are you being so polite to me? I should thank you for speaking frankly.
The matter of the Imperial Master is no small matter. If those villains succeed, it will be a big trouble. Come on, take me to see the Imperial Master. I have something to ask her."
Chu Zhinan looked at Wang Mingkui and was speechless. This person was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to him whenever he got a chance, and he couldn't pull it off.
"What do you want to ask? My child is only two years old. You shouldn't always bother her with your official business."
"It's not official business, it's a private matter."
Wang Mingkui pulled Chu Zhinan into his own carriage, and Chu Zhinan's carriage was driven by the driver behind.
After getting in the car, Chu Zhinan asked unhappily, "Private business? What private business can you have? You have nothing else to do except work. Wasn't it enough that I helped you last time to help the great writer Li Jingsheng find his biological daughter? What do you want to ask now?"
The child is still young, and you always bother her with the case you're handling. Don't you feel guilty? You are the prefect of Jingzhao, not her. She doesn't take your salary. She doesn't eat a grain of rice from your family, so she has no obligation to help you with the case."
Wang Mingkui was familiar with Chu Zhinan and was not afraid of him at all. He said with a smile: "She is the national teacher. She has no obligation to help me with the case, but she has the ability. I can ask for advice."
"Please advise me?" Chu Zhinan looked at Wang Mingkui like he was a fool, smiling, "Are you confused? You are the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and you actually want to ask a child for advice?"
"What's the matter?" Wang Mingkui said with a shameless look, "I am the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, but I am not as good as the imperial teacher in some aspects. I must ask her for advice.
Don't stop me, I have to see the Imperial Master today, I'm almost going crazy from the torture."
Chu Zhinan didn't believe it, and pointed his finger at Wang Mingkui in the air: "You are a person who dares to say anything just to see my daughter.
Who dares to torture you to death? I think he is tired of living. You are the prefect of Jingzhao, managing the entire capital, and you have the emperor's support. Who is so bold as to provoke you? "
Wang Mingkui hesitated to speak, then sighed and lowered his voice: "You may not believe me if I tell you this. It's not that people are making things difficult for me, but that kind of thing gives me nightmares every night when I close my eyes.
Five years ago, a tragic case of annihilation occurred in the capital. The He family in the south of the city, a family of sixteen, were all poisoned to death overnight, leaving only the eldest son He Yun, who was born to his deceased wife and went out to do business.
All the evidence pointed to him, and when he was caught, he kept shouting that he was innocent. At that time, he was still young, and there was complete evidence, so he was sentenced to death immediately.
All these years were fine, but ten days ago, I actually saw him in my dream. He was covered in blood, chasing me and shouting that he was innocent. He wanted me to redress his injustice, otherwise he would kill my whole family.
Chu Zhinan was shocked: "Is this true?" No wonder he was looking for his daughter.
"Why would I lie to you?" Wang Mingkui was dissatisfied with the surprised look on Chu Zhinan's face, "I haven't slept well for several days. As soon as I close my eyes, I will see him.
At that time, he was sentenced to immediate execution, which was completely reasonable and legal, without any favoritism or fraud. I don't know why he came to me, did I really make a wrong judgment?
He was not the murderer? If not him, then who could it be? All sixteen members of the He family, big and small, were dead.
Only He Yun, who was doing business outside, was not affected. According to the testimony of his next-door neighbor Wang Laoqi, He Ming had always been resentful and dissatisfied with his stepmother.
"What is the relationship between Wang Laoqi and the He family?" Chu Zhinan asked casually.
"It's just a normal neighbor relationship." Wang Mingkui smiled bitterly, "I know you want to say there's something wrong with Wang Laoqi, I've already sent someone to investigate carefully, Wang Laoqi and the He family have been neighbors for decades, the two families are very harmonious, there's no grudge at all.
He said He Yun was a very honest person. His mother died when he was three years old, and he was raised by his stepmother. His stepmother treated him harshly, did not allow him to study, and made him manage household affairs.
His own son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, so his stepmother married him to a big and strong woman whose father-in-law was a butcher. He Yun, on the other hand, looked gentle and scholarly.
His stepmother not only treated him badly, but also his wife and children. His son was eight years old and still hadn't started to learn. Every time he came back from an outing, he would quarrel with his stepmother because of this.
He wanted to split up the family, but his stepmother wouldn't let him. He Yun once said that if he was displeased one day, he would definitely make everyone in the He family unhappy. "
Chu Zhinan didn't say anything, waiting for Wang Mingkui to continue. In his subconscious, he always felt that He Ming's matter might not be that simple.
How did he poison his family? Wasn't he away from home? Why did he poison his family?
It is somewhat reasonable to kill the ugly wife and marry a beautiful new wife. But what about the children? Kill them as well? It is somewhat unreasonable.
That was his eight-year-old son, how could he bear to kill him? Unless He Yun was a vicious person.
