Chapter 150 Alas... I thought it was a sweet melon, but it turned out to be bitter...
System: [After Chu Erya followed the Lin family back to the capital, the two elders of the Lin family took her to their relatives' homes. The old couple learned about Chu Erya's situation and felt very distressed. They really liked their daughter.]
[So, the adoption was done so naturally.]
Qin Yue sighed: [Huh... It's good that it's done, it's good that it's done. It's really too difficult for a little girl to survive alone. I don't know if there is an orphanage in the Southern Dynasty that can take in these fatherless and motherless children, so that no children will be displaced.]
Qin Yue remembered that she was also an orphan in her previous life. If there was no orphanage, she would probably have frozen to death or starved to death.
Hearing this, the prince tapped his fingers on the tablet unconsciously, thinking in his heart: Should we take in orphans without parents?
With the current strength of the Southern Dynasty, it can be done, but the Southern Dynasty has a vast territory and requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
So how can we ensure that the orphans have stable food and accommodation without causing too much burden on the finances?
Well... I have to discuss it in detail with my father...
Not only the prince cares about the "orphanage" mentioned by Qin Yue, but Emperor Jin Yuan is also thinking about its feasibility.
But what Emperor Jin Yuan is thinking about is not investment, but how to reduce the birth of orphans.
Although the Southern Dynasty is strong now, the grain production is still not abundant, which has led to many people not having enough food. If they don't have enough food, they naturally can't raise their children, especially girls, who may be thrown away as soon as they are born.
Most orphans appear because of hunger. A small number of orphans may be like Chu Erya, whose parents died unexpectedly.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.
At this moment, Emperor Jin Yuan's desire for the high-yield crops mentioned by the system has reached its peak. He thought in his heart that he must let Xiao Fuguan eat more melons and quickly accumulate enough points to redeem high-yield crops!
Speaking of eating more melons... Emperor Jin Yuan couldn't help but look at the officials below, his eyes shining like a hungry wolf seeing prey, hehe... these are all melons! !
The court officials couldn't help but shiver, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts: Why is it a bit cold in this hot day...
Qin Yue then asked: [Sister, what exactly is the key to solving the homicide case you mentioned before? ]
Everyone: Oh oh oh! Here comes the point! !
System: [The reason why there was no trace of dragging on the body at that time was because a beggar stripped the original clothes on the body, but the beggar was quite conscientious. He couldn't bear to let the body be exposed naked, so he put his rags on the body. 】
【Therefore, when Chu Dashan arrived with a group of officers and soldiers, the clothes on the body had already been replaced. What's more coincidental is that the color of the clothes on the body, whether it was the original clothes or the clothes that the beggar changed, was close to the mud, so Chu Dashan didn't notice anything unusual. 】
【Because of this, there was no trace of dragging on the body! 】
Qin Yue couldn't help but sigh that things in the world are sometimes so coincidental. If Chu Dashan had been one step earlier, maybe the beggar would not have had the chance to change his clothes.
The system added: 【And every time the villain committed a crime, he liked to stay at the scene to admire his "murder work", which is why Chu Erya saw him at the fire scene! 】
Qin Yue:【Alas... I didn't expect that when I ate Minister Lin's melon, I thought it was a sweet melon, but it turned out to be a bit bitter...】
【So, did Minister Lin find the key beggar witness? 】
The system affirmed:【Yes, and the appearance of this beggar seemed to be mysterious! 】
Qin Yue was a little curious and asked quickly:【Oh? Sister, tell me quickly! 】
Everyone: Sister, tell me quickly!!
System:【When Chu Erya was thirteen years old, with the support of her adoptive parents, she started to open a restaurant. She wanted to use the flow of people in the restaurant to collect more information, in case there was any information related to the previous case. 】
【Unexpectedly, Chu Erya had a good business sense. She slowly started to open restaurants all over the Southern Dynasty, and naturally she also opened one in the county where she used to live. 】
Qin Yue praised: [Chu Erya is great! So her decision to accept the Lin family's adoption proposal was an absolutely correct decision! ]
[Facts have proved that she has also worked hard to improve her own strength, and also cleverly chose to use the wine shop to collect information! ]
[So this beggar was first discovered by the wine shop? ]
Everyone was also amazed at Chu Erya's rapid growth!
From the age of eight to thirteen, it has only been five years, and she has already begun to lay out a national business map? !
Damn it!!
This is a business genius!! What is
your child still doing at the age of thirteen? ?
Haha, it’s better not to say!
The mood to beat the child became a little more anxious!
The children of officials suddenly felt a chill on their backs...
System: [Yes! When Chu Erya opened the restaurant, she set such a principle: no matter whether they are noble or rich, anyone who enters the store is regarded as a distinguished guest and must be treated with the best service. ]
[Because of this, Chu Erya's restaurant has a very good reputation among the lower-class people. Even poor beggars can enter the store to drink and eat. The most important beggar would occasionally patronize Chu Erya's restaurant. ]
[Coincidentally, that day, Chu Erya went to the county restaurant to check, and the beggar happened to be there. 】
【Coincidentally, the guests sitting next to the beggar were talking about the unsolved murder case five years ago. They said that a witness had seen the murderer dragging and throwing the body away, but surprisingly, the authorities did not find any signs of dragging on the body. 】
【Finally, due to lack of evidence, the accused murder suspect was acquitted. However, not long after, the witness and his family died tragically in a raging fire! 】
【Hearing this, the guests in the restaurant whispered to each other and talked endlessly. Some people asserted that the fire must have been caused by human beings; others thought that it might be because the weather was dry and the firewood burned in the kitchen was not completely extinguished. 】
【The beggar heard the discussion and felt nervous for no reason. It was the same body dumped five years ago. Was it the same body he encountered? ! 】
【The beggar quietly asked the guest at the next table where the body was dumped. The guest said it was in a valley in the mountains north of the city. 】
【After hearing this, the beggar was even more certain. That day, he wanted to go to the forest to hunt for some game, so he ventured into the forest. Unexpectedly, he met the dead man in the valley. 】
【Chu Erya happened to be talking to the shopkeeper in the lobby at that time. Naturally, she noticed the discussion of the crowd and began to listen to everyone's speech and the expressions of the people present without making a sound. 】
【In order to collect useful information over the years, she has also learned a lot of ways to know people, and to guess the other person's psychological state through the other person's expression, tone, etc. 】
【Therefore, the beggar's panicked look naturally fell into Chu Erya's eyes. 】
