Chapter 155 Slightly Stupid
[Frog Fun! Isn't Chen's Woodcarving Workshop right next to my house?]
Chu Liuzheng, who was lying on the bed and refreshing the live broadcast post a few times before watching it, suddenly sat up in shock, startling Moxiang, who was sitting next to him embroidering a handkerchief.
"What's wrong?" Moxiang put down the embroidery basket and stood up, asking with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"My back is a little itchy after lying down for a long time." Chu Liuzheng moved his shoulders and turned halfway to the side. "Sister, please help me scratch it."
Moxiang first warmed her hands by the brazier, then reached under the hem of her jacket, scratching while asking, "Here?"
Chu Liuzheng's excuse was just a bunch of nonsense. He nodded when Moxiang asked, and after scratching a few times, he said that it didn't itch anymore.
Moxiang withdrew her hand and said, "It's been two days since I last wiped my body. I'll go boil some hot water and wipe you."
It was freezing cold, Chu Liuzheng had an injury on his hand, and he had just recovered from a cold, so it was really not suitable for him to take a bath.
Chu Liuzheng nodded and watched her go out.
After the door closed, she couldn't wait to open the system, find the live broadcast post and click on it.
[The contact person actually lives next door to me. How is this any different from being neighbors with a killer? Hey, look at the shop you found. What kind of bad luck do you have!]
[Just now I saw... Lord Dong personally led his men to the woodcarving workshop and knocked on the door. Chen Dong had a wound on his arm... Well, he did have one, it was caused by him specifically to buy the strychnine.]
Doctor Zheng of the Renxin Clinic was also a money-grubber. He knew Chen Dong had ulterior motives, but for the sake of money, he accompanied Chen Dong to the pharmacy to buy raw strychnine, even though processed strychnine would have had a similar effect.
After returning home, Doctor Zheng packed his bags, closed his clinic, and headed back home with his wife and children overnight. He claimed he was taking his wife to visit her parents and spend the New Year at his father-in-law's house... Ugh! Clearly fearing repercussions, he fled with the money. With this kind of character, he's still a doctor, and he calls himself kind. I think he's more like a black heart than anything else!
Chu Liuzheng dug down and when he saw Chu Yuxin being caught by the yamen runners, he felt terrible.
"Sister! Can you just watch the excitement at the government office? What did I teach you? You have to keep a safe distance when watching the excitement. You're even shoving yourself in front of the crowd. Who else should I catch if not you?"
Chu Liuzheng was so upset when he saw that Chu Yuxin was not beaten that he breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, his heart was lifted again.
[Frog fun! Xin'er actually saw Prince Li's entourage, a witness! She... Holy crap!! Stop looking at your left and right hands! Big brother, look behind you! That jerk Chen Dong has a hidden weapon and wants to kill to silence us!!]
She was so frightened that her hair almost stood up and her face turned pale, for she was afraid that she would see the news of her elder brother or younger sister's death in the next row.
She bit her lip unconsciously and prepared herself mentally before quickly scanning down two lines.
[Ah!!! The hidden weapon shot out, shot... eh? It missed and hit the pillar.]
[Is this my first time using this service and I'm inexperienced? No, with this level of skill, can I be a contact?? Not only did I not resolve the witness issue, but I also exposed myself early. This contact is quite stupid.]
Chu Liuzheng blinked, feeling relieved when she saw that the enemy was so stupid.
Continue eating melon.
[Hmm... The yamen runners rushed forward, captured Chen Dong, and brought him back to the yamen for interrogation. My eldest brother and Xin'er also went to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and gave the painter a verbal description of the attendant's appearance, so that he could draw a more accurate portrait.]
"No, wouldn't it be possible to leak the information if we just arrested him like this? If Prince Li and his entourage found out, not to mention running away, even if they just found a random place to hide, it would take forever to find them."
Chu Liuzheng frowned and looked through the whereabouts of the master and servant, and found that the system had just refreshed a record not long ago.
Prince Li spent a fortune, clearing out the clothing and jewelry stores on Xinyi Street. Tsk tsk, this guy really thinks he has a lot of money. He's been shopping for days, and he can't even tell the difference between the old stock and the new styles. He's been ripped off, and he's still counting the money for others.
The two shopped along the way, surrounded by the enthusiastic shopkeeper and his staff. They were completely disoriented and had no idea that Chen Dong had been arrested.
【I don’t know! 】
Chu Liuzheng immediately switched back to the live broadcast to see the follow-up.
Chen Dong refused to confess, and Lord Dong, fearing he might have hidden weapons, ordered the guards to strip him naked for inspection. The guards were incredibly thorough, even checking his butt crack. Chen Dong was utterly humiliated and furious, but his hands and feet were bound, and his mouth was gagged, making suicide impossible.
[Tsk tsk, just this level of mental toughness is far inferior to Han Dacongming. He even bathed with the Japanese envoys, rubbing each other's backs. He remained unfazed when complimented on their skin and even shared his wife's beauty secrets, instantly strengthening their relationship. Now they're like brothers.]
It can be seen that there is a difference between spies and spies.
Chu Liuzheng silently gave Han Ruoyu a thumbs up and continued reading.
[Frog Fun! The Grand Tutor is here! It's been quite a rough ride for the Grand Tutor lately. Not only is he urging Shuntian Prefecture to investigate the poisoned porridge case, but there's also discord in the backyard.]
[Sleeping in the study is a common occurrence, and it happened once, twice, three times, and four times. He slept there for six or seven days straight. The Grand Tutor was so eager to get up that his eyes turned green. Unfortunately, his wife was busy looking for a secret recipe for conceiving a child for her daughter and had no time to pay attention to him.]
[Tsk tsk, if you don't want to offer me a way out, just build one yourself. What bad intentions could a cat have? It's just a few small fish, so why are you, a grown-up like you, arguing with a kitten? Take the initiative to feed this bully in the north city, and you'll have a way out, right?]
[Speaking of which, Grand Tutor has seen Prince Li's entourage, and I wonder if the painter's resemblance to the figure based solely on verbal descriptions is sufficient. Could he recognize the figure? He didn't recognize it? No, how could he not recognize it? Grand Tutor, you're not blind!]
Chu Liuzheng slapped his thigh in regret, and suddenly stopped halfway through.
[Ah! Luckily, there's a butler. He's even a few years older than the Grand Tutor. Look at his memory; he recognized me right away. Grand Tutor, learn from him!]
[Tsk tsk, knowing it was the attendant who poisoned him, the Grand Tutor was furious. He didn't even take the sedan chair and personally led the yamen runners to arrest the person. Master Dong was so ashamed. Wait a minute! Chu Yuxin, come back here! ! Does arresting people have anything to do with you? Why are you just running away!]
Chu Liuzheng wanted to reach through the text and spank his disobedient sister. Is it really possible to interfere in something like arresting someone?
Just as I was thinking about how to communicate with my sister after leaving the palace, Moxiang pushed the door open with a bucket of hot water.
Chu Liuzheng quickly put aside the idea of 'stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork' and let Moxiang clean up while waiting for the system to refresh.
The weather was cold, and Moxiang was worried that she would catch a cold, so she added a few more pieces of charcoal into the brazier, which made Chu Liuzheng feel so distressed.
Moxiang found it amusing and wrung out a handkerchief to wipe her back: "Look how distressed you are. Which is more important, the charcoal or your health?"
Of course health is important, but Chu Liuzheng can't bear to give up the charcoal.
She had become accustomed to saving money over the years, so she could be more generous when it came to arranging necessary favors.
She glanced at the little charcoal left in the basket and sighed softly.
[It's still so satisfying to take advantage of the Tyrant. The charcoal is almost gone. When can the Tyrant be the charcoal delivery boy again?]
