Chapter 198: Here Comes Qin Canglan (Part 1)

It's the Old Marquis poisoning thing.

  Su Mo started the investigation from the mansion. He asked his confidant guards to carefully investigate all the servants in the mansion who had access to the Old Marquis food, and found nothing unusual, so he ruled out the possibility of doing something in the mansion.

  From this point of view, at least it shows that the interior of the Hou Mansion is safe.

  There is no chance to do it in the government, so the only chance to do it is to buy ingredients from outside the government.

  In the huge Hou Mansion, dozens of ingredients are imported every day, and this does not include the regular purchase of rice with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar...

   This is a huge project. Fortunately, Huang Tian paid off, and finally let his confidant guards catch a butcher selling meat this morning.

   "It's a butcher named Hu."

  The confidant guard said, "Old Marquis loves to eat meat. I have been buying meat from his house for the past few years, and nothing has gone wrong."

  Su Mo asked: "Is there something wrong with this butcher?"

The confidant guard shook his head: "No, he's fine, the zong leaves he used to wear the meat were soaked in poison. In order not to be discovered, the dosage is very small, and it won't be good or bad if you take it once or twice, but it can be done in a month or two.It's hard to say."

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "Why aren't others poisoned?"

The confidant guard replied: "Old Marquis only likes to eat the most tender rib meat, which is prepared for Old Marquis alone every time. The cook in the house occasionally steals his mouth, but one is that he doesn't eat much, and the other is that our houseThere are several cooks, not every time the same cook eats it. But they are also a little dizzy recently, they just think they are too tired and don't take it seriously."

   It seems to be chronic poisoning.

  Su Mo asked: "Where is the hawker who sells Zongye?"

  The confidant guard said embarrassingly: "I caught it... But, the little one didn't pay attention, and let him bite his tongue and commit suicide."

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ordinary people can't bite their tongues off."

   This is a bureau, specially set up for Old Marquis, no, maybe it is a bureau set up for the entire Zhenbeihou Mansion.

  Su Mo was obviously dissatisfied with the result. He didn't get angry, and he still looked gentle. However, Su Xiaoxiao noticed with sharp eyes that the guard's forehead began to drip with sweat.

  This eldest son of the Su family is not as simple as he appears on the surface.

   "But—" the confidant guard gasped, secretly glad that he didn't stop there, and he continued to investigate later.

"The man's name is Xiangzi. He came to Capital City in October last year. He came with a caravan around the end of the month. He broke up with the caravan for some reason and lived on the streets. Later, he started a fight in a grain shop.As a part-time worker, the zong leaves are sold from that shop."

   "The shop hasn't found out the problem yet, but according to the store clerk, Xiangzi has a concubine in a wealthy family. Once, the clerk bumped into him, and Xiangzi threatened him not to tell the story, otherwise he would do him."

  Su Mo frowned: "Which big family?"

  The confidant guard hesitated for a while and said, "The Palace of the Protector."

  ...

   After the confidant guard retreated, Su Mo fell into deep thought.

   "What are you thinking?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

  Su Mo said solemnly: "Last October, a major event happened in Zhenbeihou's Mansion."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and motioned him to continue.

Su Mo said: "Grandfather and father had a big quarrel in the study. That day was grandmother's birthday party, and many guests came. Grandfather threatened to abolish father's position as the eldest son, and word got out.When the father broke up, a 'peddler' came to poison the grandfather, I think this may not be a coincidence."

   "Why are they arguing?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Mo said sternly: "For the sake of moving the ancestral hall, my father proposed to move the ancestral hall to Capital City, but my grandfather didn't agree, so I got very angry. In fact, it was just a matter of anger. How could father and son have an overnight feud? But peopleWords are terrifying. In a large family, sisters are evil, brothers hate, father and son enmity, too many to list."

  Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Su Mo glanced at her and said, "If you hadn't discovered that my grandfather was poisoned in time, the worst result would be that my grandfather is gone, and all the evidence pointing to my father's patricide in order to keep his title will all be thrown out.come out."

  Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

  Su Mo: "..."

  Su Mo opened the snack box on the table and pushed it to her hand.

   "Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at a jar full of smashed walnuts, and blinked strangely.

   "Don't you like eating this?" Su Mo asked.

  Su Xiaoxiao picked up one, turned it over and looked at it.

   Is this really a smashed walnut?

   Which obsessive-compulsive disorder smashed it?

   It's too complete!

  Su Xiaoxiao took a bite.

   "How is uncle?" Su Mo asked.

  When they left yesterday, Su Cheng was still in a coma. They could tell that Su Cheng had been stimulated. In order to prevent Su Cheng from being stimulated again, they decided to go back home first.

   Otherwise, according to Old Marquis' temperament, he had to bring Su Cheng's family back with him.

  Su Xiaoxiaoyan briefly explained the situation of Papa Su.

  Su Mo was silent for a long time after hearing the words.

   "It's okay if you don't remember."

   he said.

  What is that painful memory, you can guess without asking.

  The great-aunt used her own life to hold back the assassin, in exchange for a glimmer of life for her own flesh and blood.

  Su Cheng most likely witnessed the brutal murder of his mother.

  He was only a six-year-old child at the time, and this scene would be unbearable for anyone.

  None of the two mentioned the matter of restoring Father Su’s memory. Restoring memory is only painful, not beneficial. As for whether there will be clues to find the murderer in Father Su’s memory——

   Are they dead?

   Or is it that they are so incompetent that they need to find clues in this way that makes old man Su die?

Su Xiaoxiao will not allow anyone to hurt Papa Su, that person includes herself.

  Papa Su has suffered too much, and she doesn't want him to be sad for the rest of her life.

  The hatred of the year, just leave it to her.

   Those people, she will not let go of any of them.

——

  Pear Blossom Lane.

  After Xiaohu and Erhu got up, Duo showed off to his two stinky brothers the sweet time he and his mother had spent running the pony and eating roasted sweet potatoes together.

  The two tigers were so jealous that they ran to the gate. Unexpectedly, they waited for half a day, but their mother did not come back.

  The two were wronged, and they were about to cry.

  Dahu: "Slightly slightly!"

  Who made you stay in bed!

  The two tigers and the little tiger are fierce.

  Brother needs to be beaten up today!

   "Okay, okay, don't be angry, grandpa baked sweet potatoes for you."

  Su Cheng went to the stove house and roasted two big and black sweet potatoes.

  Er Hu and Xiao Hu refused in their hearts, but seeing their grandfather's face blackened by the stove ash, they still stretched out their small hands and took a piece of roasted sweet potato...

   Ugh.

  It’s so unpalatable——

   Then Su Cheng took the three little ones to stroll in the alley.

  Qin Canglan just came back from a trip.

   happened to pass by Zhuangyuan Street, and remembered that granddaughter seemed to be learning piano in Lihua Lane.

   "Go to Lihua Lane."

   he said to the coachman.

   Do you have a monthly pass?

  The kind where father and son meet.
