Chapter 524 of the Farmer's Field
"Chunhua, what you said is very useful. Don't worry, as long as you want to leave that home, we will let you leave that home."
Su Zhi saw Chunhua looking at her nervously, and said to her that she didn't think Chunhua was bad for betraying Sanlang. She knew very well that this girl was so protective of her parents and brothers. But now she was forced to this point. Shen Ziping and his wife were such failures as parents. They were not so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. They were really heartless to think about letting their daughter become a concubine every day.
After hearing this, Chunhua felt relieved.
"Uncle and aunt, wait until this period is over before you talk about my affairs. I'm afraid my parents will get suspicious of me."
Chunhua said that if her parents knew that she had told her fourth uncle and the others about Sanlang, they would definitely beat her to death, so she better wait until the incident has passed before talking about it.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi agreed.
Chunhua left in a hurry again. She hadn't picked up any firewood yet. If she didn't pick up enough, her mother would scold her again. Fortunately, she was lucky and picked up a lot of firewood in a short while. Then she went home. As expected, she was scolded by Sun again, saying that she was late and asked her to boil medicine for Wulang quickly. Sanlang was yawning and glared at her.
"Can't you come back earlier? This is troubling me to scold you again. Look how angry I am. Mom, you must be tired. Go and have a rest. Let Chunhua do the work. You have to let her serve you a little longer before you get married, otherwise you will become someone else's."
Sanlang said to Sun in a somewhat flattering way that Wulang's matter made his parents very angry, but Sanlang had been trying to please them. He took out his anger on Chunhua.
Chunhua watched Sun's face smile after hearing Sanlang's words. She carried the firewood to the backyard, pursed her lips, and thought to herself that she was leaving this home. She would never have to live like this again.
Chunhua really wanted to leave home when her family went to the capital. Everyone in the family went, leaving her alone, and they asked her to stay at home. They didn't care whether she was afraid or not, or whether there would be bad people coming. If it weren't for her uncle and others to intercede, she would really have to stay in this yard alone. It's scary to think about it. Then when she came back, her parents were driven back. Sanlang got angry because he caused trouble, and she became their vent, which made her determined to leave.
Chunhua heard Sanlang tell his parents that he wanted to give her to someone else as a concubine. She became even more dissatisfied with him. Later, she learned that Wulang was almost suffocated to death by Sanlang, so she was afraid of Sanlang. She remembered what Sanlang had done. She told her fourth uncle that they were coming. She thought that her fourth uncle and his men were her hope for the future, and Sanlang was too cruel. She might really be harmed by him one day. She hardened her heart and told him everything she knew.
Chunhua felt guilty after she told the truth, but when she saw Sanlang's expression, she didn't think she was wrong. She thought Sanlang deserved it.
Chunhua went to see Wulang. His pale face made Chunhua feel sad. She thought that she had done the right thing by telling her uncle about Sanlang's bad deeds.
Chunhua's heart was in turmoil. She actually didn't quite understand how much involvement Sanlang had in this major event, and what would be the final outcome. She thought that as long as he wasn't killed, it would be enough. Even if he was sent to jail, it would teach him a lesson, and maybe he would change for the better in the future.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi knew that if this matter was related to Sanlang, they would never forgive him again. This child was so vicious at such a young age and he must be dealt with. If they continued to tolerate him, he would cause bigger troubles in the future.
The fact is, this matter is already very big!
Hundreds of lives were at stake. Even though the poison wasn't fatal, it was still poison. If someone was in poor health, a little bit of poison might kill them!
If it was really Saburo who did it, he is really lawless!
Shen Zian and Su Zhi discussed it and decided not to tell anyone else for the time being. They only told Mu Chengzhi and asked him to investigate Sanlang and Zhao Daliang. After the investigation was complete, if it was really related to Sanlang, they would tell everyone then.
"It's actually related to that kid. He's really cruel. But now that he's in my hands, he can't escape."
Mu Chengzhi said with a smile, thinking of what Sanlang had done, and told Shen Zian and Su Zhi that if it was really him, they would never let him go. He thought in his heart that even if Shen Zian and Su Zhi wanted to let Sanlang go, he would find a way to deal with Sanlang. He couldn't let such a heartless thing continue to stay and harm his sister.
Naturally, Shen Zi'an would not show mercy. Sanlang had to deal with him. If he continued like this, the entire Shen family would be implicated by him. Not to mention implicating them, Sanlang had already begun to reach out to them, and the means he wanted were to take their lives. Not to mention that he was just an unrelated nephew, he could not tolerate him even if he was his own father.
After breakfast, the first and second wives and Li Shi's family arrived soon, and then people from the Zhang family and the Qian family also came. Except for Su Zhi, all the other women and children retreated, leaving only the men together to continue speculating about what had caused this incident and how to continue the investigation.
The Qian family said that they took the seasonings from Shen Zigui and immediately gave them to those restaurants. They did not leave them overnight, so it was definitely not the case that someone had poisoned their seasonings.
So, apart from the fact that the poison was placed in several restaurants, the only possibility was that something went wrong with Shen Zigui.
It was not just Zhang and his son, but everyone thought that it was not easy to poison in a tavern, let alone in several taverns, which was even more difficult.
Shen Zigui personally told the Qian and Zhang families that he suspected someone had overheard him taking the seasoning from him. The Qian and Zhang families were also very anxious, but Shen Zigui was Shen Zian's second brother and an honest man. They could not do anything to him no matter how anxious they were. In the end, they could only ask for help from Mu Chengzhi, hoping that his people could find out what happened that day. But that day had passed a long time ago, and everyone felt that there was little hope.
"We do have a new clue, but we can't tell you now. We have to wait until it is confirmed. Thank you for your understanding."
When Su Zhi saw Shen Zigui's self-blaming face and the anxiety of the Qian and Zhang families, although she did not mention Sanlang, she still let them know so that they would not worry too much.
Zhang Baozhu immediately asked, "Could it be that someone has doubts about the eavesdropper?"
Qian Guang also squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that we are all familiar with that person? Madam Shen didn't tell us because she was afraid that we would show her expression again when we saw him?"
"Fourth brother's wife, is she really someone you know?!"
Shen Zigui asked with his eyes wide open, if that's the case, then it would be much easier to find them. He actually thought that most of the people who could come to Fuyuan to steal things were familiar people.
Shen Zifu lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I thought about this yesterday. If someone is chased and bitten by a big grey, he probably doesn't come to Fuyuan very often. Otherwise, the big grey would be able to smell it and wouldn't bite him so hard."
Qian Dafu asked, "Isn't he from Hebian Village?"
Qian Guang shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are also people in Hebian Village who don't often come to Fuyuan. Among those people, there must be some annoying people, and that person has the idea of stealing things in the garden. Fourth Brother Shen, who in Hebian Village is capable of climbing over walls and is also rich? Find these people and check who has tooth marks on their bodies, and maybe we can find them out."
Shen Zian said: "We already know the specific person. Once we know for sure, we will tell everyone. Then everything will be clear. We are not telling you now because we are afraid of wrongly accusing someone and we are afraid of alerting the enemy."
Su Zhi also smiled and said, "Don't ask for now. I think this is almost certain. The real culprit will be caught soon."
Although everyone was extremely curious when they heard this, they resisted the urge to ask any more questions. However, after hearing Su Zhi's words, they felt relieved and thought that this matter would probably be resolved.
Mu Chengzhi assured everyone again that he would solve the case, and everyone finally felt relieved. Mu Chengzhi was a young marquis and a general. Since he said so, he must be able to solve the case. The person most implicated in this incident was Su Zhi, who was his sister. He must be worried and would do his best.
The people from the Qian and Zhang families returned home with peace of mind.
Mu Chengzhi thought about what Zhang Dafu had said, "The longer this matter is delayed, the worse it will be," and decided that Lei Lifeng was the right person.
Sanlang knew that his uncle and aunt had returned, and he also saw Mu Chengzhi returning with his entourage, and knew that things were going to get a little troublesome, but he thought that no one knew that he was involved, so he was very careful. So he continued to live his life, and from time to time he would go to the east of the river to see what was going on in Fuyuan, and then he was caught and taken to Fuyuan.
Mu Chengzhi was a general, he had killed people before, and the ten men under him had all seen blood before. When they stood in front of Sanlang, just the look in their eyes was enough to make people terrified.
"Uncle Mu, what did you catch me for? Let me go, it hurts so much!"
Sanlang shouted to Mu Chengzhi. He was tied up with his hands behind his back and could not get free no matter how hard he struggled. Instead, the more he moved, the tighter the rope seemed to be. He did not dare to move and began to beg.
"Sanlang, I don't have a good patience. Now, while I am not angry, tell me what you did. If you tell me, I can guarantee that you can return to your parents one day. Otherwise... you can just wait to die of old age on the border!"
Mu Chengzhi thought that if Sanlang had done this, he could not be killed, but it was still feasible to exile him to the border and do hard labor for the rest of his life. He thought that this would be fair to the victim and he would be spared because he was a member of the Shen family. He also had to be thankful that no one died in this poisoning case!
The second update of the code has reduced some plots, making Saburo fall down earlier
