The twelfth concubine rushed out and saw Yuan Er lying in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown. She cried so hard that she almost fainted.
The mayor's wife hated the twelfth concubine the most, and also disliked Yuan Er who was an accomplice to the evil. However, she still had to coax the twelfth concubine on the surface, saying that the dead cannot be resurrected and she should accept her condolences.
"How did my brother die? How did my brother die?!" The twelfth concubine recognized Ajian and knew that he was Yuan Er's subordinate, so she grabbed him and refused to let go.
Ajian didn't dare to hide anything and told the truth.
He pointed to the windowsill on the second floor: "There, there... a vase fell down and hit Brother Yuan's head, so..."
"A vase?!" The twelfth concubine cried and shouted angrily, "How could a vase fall down for no reason? Why didn't you all just throw it down? How could it just happen to hit my brother on the head?"
Everyone was silent: "..." In fact, it was just a coincidence.
Because such a big thing happened here and human lives were at stake, more and more people gathered around, and the place was so crowded that it was impossible to get out.
"I don't believe it! How could it be a vase? There's no wind at this moment, how could a vase fall down for no reason? I don't believe it!"
The eldest lady comforted her, "Don't worry, Yuan-shi. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation! Yuan Er's death cannot be in vain!"
In fact, the eldest lady was very happy.
At this moment, a cute little boy, about seven or eight years old, walked out from the door, jumping as he walked, holding a slingshot in his hand...
Everyone looked at him, their eyes shifted to the slingshot in his hand...
Su Luo, who was hiding in the dark, raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
God really helps her.
How can this mayor be a good person if he allows Yuan Er to run rampant and abuse his power in the village?
She had inquired and found out that the mayor's wife and the twelfth concubine were not much better and they often fought fiercely, so let them fight each other.
Su Luo's figure was like a civet cat, passing through the crowd quickly.
"Sister Yun—"
At the back door of Hongsheng Restaurant, when Su Luo arrived, Xu Sanzheng came over with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was dressed in silk and satin, wearing a brand new melon-shaped hat. He had a serious face and looked very solemn.
Seeing Su Luo, his eyes moved: "Female?"
Su Luo let him look at her, remaining calm and composed throughout, her eyes silent.
This person is none other than the shopkeeper Duan of Hongsheng Restaurant.
Shopkeeper Duan secretly admired him in his heart. He turned to Xu San and said with a smile, "Your wife?"
Xu San waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, you really love to joke, how can I afford to marry a wife like this?"
Shopkeeper Duan laughed heartily. "Indeed, this girl is very impressive. In terms of demeanor, ten of you... no, a hundred of you can't compare to her. Even though she's wearing patched coarse cloth, she doesn't look like a country bumpkin."
Normally, it would have been enough for the subordinates to come out and help with such a small matter, but Manager Duan had a close relationship with Xu San, so Manager Duan came out in person to buy the rabbit, a worm and a snake.
Shopkeeper Duan nodded repeatedly and said to Xu San, "The rabbit is fine, but these snakes are hard to come by... Especially now that the weather is getting colder, the snakes are even more flavorful when soaked in medicinal wine. They're really good."
Xu San nodded and said, "I'll stay and help Shopkeeper Duan brew this medicinal wine."
Shopkeeper Duan: "That would be great."
He lifted the rabbit and said, "This rabbit, including the skin and meat, weighs no more than five catties. At ten cents a catty, that's fifty cents. Are you willing?"
