Chapter 522 The Second Room's Leak, Dahui

Dahui ran to Su Zhi's side, jumped a few times in front of her, and then squatted on the ground obediently, raised his head and looked at Su Zhi with gentle eyes. Even without the big tail that was swinging back and forth and sweeping the ground, people could tell that he was happy.

"Da Hui, you haven't lost any weight at all. It seems you don't miss me. I won't give you meat tonight."

Su Zhi said with a smile, teasing Dahui.

After hearing what Su Zhi said, Dahui seemed to understand. He suddenly lay on the ground, howling. His eyes became pitiful and his tail stopped wagging, like an eggplant hit by frost.

Su Zhi laughed out loud when she saw this, and her mood became better. She quickly said, "I was just teasing you. I'll give you meat and bones tonight. Hurry up and get up. If you keep lying down, I'll leave."

Dahui immediately climbed up, came over and nudged Su Zhi gently with his head a few times, and his tail began to wag happily again.

Mu Chengzhi was very surprised when he saw this. He already knew that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were very human. He thought that the holy beasts were naturally smarter than ordinary animals and had been trained since childhood. He didn't expect that such an ordinary dog ​​could be so smart. The scene just now fully proved that this dog named Da Hui could understand Su Zhi's meaning!

"Zhi'er, did you raise this dog from childhood?"

"Brother, Dahui was not raised by me. He has only been in Fuyuan for a year. Are you surprised that Dahui can understand me? Dahui is a very smart dog."

Su Zhi said that Da Hui was indeed a smart dog, but he was not smart enough to understand her words. This was because she also gave Da Hui spiritual spring water after he came to Fuyuan, which made Da Hui even smarter. Although he could not understand everything she said, he certainly knew the general meaning.

Mu Chengzhi nodded, thinking that some dogs are indeed very smart. But this must also be related to his sister's good fortune, otherwise no matter how smart she is, she can't be this smart. Not to mention that she has a holy beast by her side, and it's a family of holy beasts. Wolves are wolves after all. Being able to live with people can only mean that this person is amazing. Mu Chengzhi is proud of his sister, but also sad. Thinking of the fact that his sister, who was a little timid and gentle, has gone through so much pain to become what she is now, he really wishes she was still the ordinary woman she used to be.

Mu Chengzhi felt sorry for his sister, and hated the person who framed her even more. He wanted to find out the truth this time, and he would never let the person go!

At this time, several people in different places suddenly felt a chill on their backs, and thought that the weather had turned cold again. They tightened their clothes. They did not take it seriously, and did not know that a disaster had already begun.

Bailang and Dahei also walked over at a leisurely pace, looked at Shen Zian and Su Zhi, and said hello.

Mu Chengzhi and the people he brought with him were all looking at the white wolf in shock. When they got closer, they felt even more frightened by the white wolf.

The horses didn't even dare to bark, and almost all of them lay on the ground. Shen Zian asked Liu Yin to take the horses away with others.

Liu Yin took the coachman and his followers to the stable. Shen Zian's family also raised several horses and more than one cow. They thought that when the family's workshop expanded in the future, even if they could use other people's carriages to deliver goods, they would need more horses, so the stable was built very large. Now even the horses of the followers could not be crowded. Not only the coachmen, but also the followers looked at the stable and felt that although this young lady was living in the countryside, she was living a good life.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi first took Mu Chengzhi to their newly built house. The courtyard house could not accommodate so many of them and it was not convenient either, so they let them live in the new house.

As Mu Chengzhi walked in the garden, he felt that the garden was very well maintained. Every blade of grass, every tree, every brick and every stone were very delicate. What surprised him most was that although it was early winter, the scenery in the garden was still very good. The grass outside had obviously turned yellow, but the grass in this garden was a mixture of yellow and green. Although the leaves of some trees had turned yellow, they still clung to the trees and refused to fall off. The most surprising thing was that there were still some chrysanthemums still stubbornly blooming on the branches. Although they were about to wither, compared with other places where all the flowers were gone, this was simply too dazzling.

Mu Chengzhi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have met Eunuch Shen once. He mentioned the strangeness of his sister's home. He said that in the year of severe drought, there was a pool of water that never dried up in his sister's home. Could it be related to the lake? Thinking that this garden was called Fuyuan, it might really be a blessed land.

When he saw the house in front of him again, Mu Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and thought, no wonder his sister always wanted to come home, his sister's home is really no worse than the Marquis' Mansion. Although there are not as many houses as in the Marquis' Mansion, this house looks more unique than the Marquis' Mansion. Living here, with such a beautiful scenery and the company of the holy beast, is really a blessing.

"Zhi'er, my brother is beginning to want to live here for a long time. Your paradise is truly a blessed place."

"Then you should stay here, brother. There's nothing good about being a general. How can it be better than living a leisurely life here? I will cook delicious food for you every day. It will be better than the food in the restaurants in the capital."

Su Zhi smiled and said that she liked this brother very much.

Mu Chengzhi smiled and nodded, saying, "When the day comes that my brother doesn't want to stay in the capital anymore, he will come to you for help."

Mu Chengzhi himself had no interest in being an official. He became a general because he was heartbroken by Su Zhi's death. He even thought that he would rather die than die. He did not expect that he would become a general. Fortunately, he did not die, otherwise he would not know that his sister was alive!

While the brother and sister were chatting and laughing, Su Zhi arranged for Mu Chengzhi and his followers, and asked Liu Jin to take them here to familiarize them with the environment. She was helped back to the room by Shen Zian.

"Home is still the best!"

Su Zhi sat on the kang. Although there was no fire, she didn't feel cold at all sitting on the mat. She looked around the furnishings in the room and felt happy no matter how she looked at them.

Shen Zian looked at his wife's smile and thought that it was good that she liked it here. He asked her to sit on the kang, said he would go and heat the kang, and then went out.

The room was very clean, and you could tell someone often came in to clean it. Su Zhi took her sewing basket from the side. She saw that the half-finished handkerchief was still there, so she started sewing. White Wolf and Big Black also came in, lying on their mats. Outside, Big Gray and Little Black were barking, so she knew they were playing in the yard.

Su Zhi liked this warm atmosphere. But she felt a little disappointed when she thought that none of her three dolls were around, so she thought she should finish the matter quickly.

The kang quickly warmed up, and Shen Zian boiled some water and made tea for Su Zhi.

At this time, Liu Jin and Liu Yin also came back and said that they had arranged everything for Mu Chengzhi and his group, and even boiled water for them. The group was drinking water.

Su Zhi asked them to rest as well. The two children were tired after the long journey.

Less than an hour later, the first and second wives and Li Shi came. In the meantime, Wang Huazhi, Wang Xiuyun, Shugen and other people also came, but they left after staying for a while. Su Zhi and others had just returned, and they didn't want to disturb them. Besides, they all knew that this was the time when the family was talking together. After all, they were outsiders and it was not appropriate for them to go there. Knowing that Shen Zian and others came back with the imperial messenger, and Su Zhi confirmed that the case would be solved, they felt relieved.

After Shen Zifu and his family returned home, they took a rest and drank some hot water. The two daughters stayed at the second house at night and could come back to clean up during the day, just like when they left. They just asked what happened in the village and told their daughters about the things in the capital. Seeing the envious eyes of the two daughters, they told them that they would take them to the capital when they had the chance in the future, and told them about their fourth aunt. After hearing this, the two little girls said that they would live with their fourth aunt after arriving in the capital. They didn't want to live with their grandfather and didn't want to see Shen Zhu.

Shen Zigui also talked to his wife and daughters. His wife had seen him these days and knew that he had not suffered. She just talked about family matters and then played with her son for a while.

They waited for Li Shi and Liu Si Niang to come to them, each holding a child. When they saw that the time was almost up, they headed towards Fuyuan.

When the women arrived, they treated it as their own home and started to prepare the vegetables and meat that Shen Zian and his friends had bought in the town. They cooked a lot of dishes and sent them to Mu Chengzhi's followers. They also let Shen Zian and his friends eat them while they ate at home. They didn't want to bring so many people to their home and cause trouble while Su Zhi was still pregnant.

Shen Zian couldn't move them, so he could only eat with Mu Chengzhi and Su Zhi. After eating, they sat together and talked about the poisoning case.

"I think the person who did this must be related to the restaurant. Because this seasoning has boosted the restaurant's business, they came up with such a sinister trick."

Li Shi said.

Everyone nodded, thinking that what Li Shi said was possible.

Mu Chengzhi said, "There is another possibility. The other party is a wealthy person, a very wealthy person, who wants the recipe of the seasoning. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to reap the benefits. It's just that because Zhi'er hasn't come back yet, they didn't show up."

Everyone nodded again, thinking that this was possible. As long as there were seasonings, the food would taste better. Food was the primary need of the people. With seasonings, it was like making money in this business. Any businessman would be jealous, thinking that this was a cash cow and would want to get his hands on it.

Shen Zigui looked at Su Zhi and asked, "Fourth brother's wife, what do you think?"

Everyone also looked at Su Zhi. It was well known that Su Zhi was smart, and she was also very lucky. Maybe she would be able to solve the problem this time.

Su Zhi raised her head and said, "Have you ever thought about this? This time, people were poisoned in four restaurants at the same time, and it was confirmed that there was something wrong with our seasonings. But those four restaurants are in different places, and not everyone can enter the back kitchen of this big restaurant. Especially the seasonings, I think not everyone can touch them, right? How did someone poison them?"

Everyone frowned after hearing this. Someone looked at Shen Zigui without saying anything, and Shen Zigui's expression changed a little.

"Fourth sister-in-law, when you left home, you gave me some seasonings and asked me to deliver them to the Qian family in order. Could it be that something went wrong with the seasonings while I was in their hands?"

When Shen Zigui thought of this possibility, his face turned pale with fright. This was a matter of life and death, especially now he was afraid that his fourth brother and the others would suspect that he was involved in this matter. He was really wronged.

Li also thought of this and became a little anxious. Just as she was about to say something, Su Zhi gently raised her hand and interrupted her.

Su Zhi smiled and said to Shen Zigui and Li: "Don't worry, my second brother and second sister-in-law. I believe in you, otherwise I would not have given the things to you in the first place."

The people in the second house all breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried, this was a big deal, but when they thought of Su Zhi's trust in them, they were even more grateful.

Shen Zigui frowned and said, "If someone really added something when I wasn't paying attention and let me know, I will break his hand!"

Shen Zian said: "It is also possible that something unexpected happened at the Qian family."

Mu Chengzhi said, "Let's ask the Qian family when they come tomorrow."

The people in the second house wanted to ask the Qian family immediately, but they held back. However, one thing was certain: the poison in the seasoning was most likely not put in the restaurant by someone. Instead, something went wrong at Shen Zigui and the Qian family, so the scope of the search was narrow.

"Second brother, let me ask you another question. Don't think too much. I'm just looking for suspects." Su Zhi said, "Think about it, if there was a problem with the seasoning from you, how did the other party know the seasoning in your hands? We do the vermicelli business openly, but the seasoning business has been carried out secretly. I told the Qian family not to tell others that the seasoning was made by me. In order to keep cooperating with us, they will not say it casually. Think about it, have you accidentally revealed this matter?"

Su Zhi asked this because she felt that it was unlikely that something went wrong with the Qian family, because the restaurants where the incidents occurred were all nearby, and Su Zhi had also asked that the Qian family had obtained the seasonings from Shen Zigui and had given them to these restaurants almost immediately. The time in between was very short, and the Qian family attached great importance to these seasonings, so the possibility of being poisoned was not high. It was easier to attack Shen Zigui, but how did the people who knew that Shen Zigui had the seasonings know?

Li said, "It is impossible to reveal this to anyone. Only the two of us know about this. We didn't even tell Chunyue and the others, for fear that others might accidentally tell others about it. Fourth sister-in-law, your second brother and I don't have any great abilities, but we are very tight-lipped and won't tell anyone else. Since your second brother took the things you gave him, he doesn't even dare to drink with others, for fear that this matter will be leaked!"

Shen Zigui said: "I can swear on my life that I have never told anyone else about this."

"Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm just asking."

Su Zhi was really afraid of hurting the feelings of the two honest men, but she had to ask about this matter. Now that she heard them so sure, she wondered if there really was an accident at the Qian family?

Shen Zifu said, "Do you think that when Zigui gave the seasoning to the Qian family, someone saw it? Even if no one saw it, think about it, the Qian family has the seasoning, but where did it come from? Anyone with a keen eye would have definitely noticed it, and they might have discovered that it was Zigui who gave it to them. If someone keeps an eye on someone, they will definitely be able to discover that person's secret."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. This was indeed a possibility.

"Woof! Woof!"

The barking of Big Gray was heard outside, followed by the voice of Little Black. However, those who were familiar with them knew that no one was coming, but that they were just playing, so no one paid any attention.

Shen Zigui's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "I remember now! Maybe there really is something wrong here!"

"Boss!"

When Li heard this, she was shocked and looked at Shen Zigui immediately, thinking that it was really because of the incident here that the fourth brother and his wife were implicated? How could she be so righteous towards the fourth brother and his wife! She almost couldn't sit still.

Shen Zian said, "Second sister-in-law, don't be anxious, let Second Brother tell us what's going on."

Mu Chengzhi also said: "Yes, tell me, as long as we have a clue and catch the murderer, everything will be fine."

Everyone looked at Shen Zigui, who said to Li: "Wife, do you remember one day when we came here to clean the house for my fourth brother and his family? That day we talked about the seasoning. We wondered if the seasoning would be burned if it was placed on the kang? Then we discussed moving it to another place?"

Li nodded repeatedly and said, "Do you suspect that someone listened to us that day?"

Shen Zigui nodded and said, "If there really was a leak here, it was that time. That time, that black-hearted person not only knew that we had the seasoning, but also knew where we put it!"

Shen Zigui slammed his thigh in anger and continued, "Someone must have heard it. I just heard Dahui's cry and suddenly remembered that when we were talking that day, Dahui also cried like that. We didn't take it seriously, but do you remember that we saw blood on Dahui's mouth that day? At that time, we thought it had caught food. But now think about it, the sound of Dahui's cry that day was clearly very urgent and scary. Did it see someone at that time, so it bit that person?"

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true!" Li also exclaimed, "That day when the big gray cat saw us, it kept wagging its tail, as if it wanted to take us somewhere! But we didn't take it seriously! Did it bite that person at that time to inform us?"
