Chapter 370: Tragedy (2)
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this truth is not only practical in the capital, but also applicable in Yucheng. The old couple hanged themselves in front of the gate of the Qin Mansion, and within a day, this matter spread throughout Yucheng, and everyone talked about it and said everything. However, because of the Qin family's status in Yucheng, everyone talked about it behind their backs, and they didn't dare to mention it on their faces.
Second Grandma Zhao came to the door and chatted with Yuxi about the matter: "Sister, do you say that this old couple is too pitiful." There is no way to appeal, and in the end, this method is used to complain about injustice. β
Yuxi's face was also full of sympathy, and said, "Who said it wasn't!" It's a pity that they died in such a tragic way, and they can't convict Xu Siye! "The death of this old couple, except for the condemnation of the Qin Mansion and the Xu family, will not cause them substantial harm.
Seeing this, Second Grandma Zhao sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't!" The most pitiful thing is that the people of the Qin Mansion still did not allow the corpse to be collected, and directly pulled the corpse down to the mass grave. β
Yuxi's face was full of shock, in this case, the old couple should be buried properly to minimize the damage. But not only did she not do this, but she also threw the body into the mass grave, and she was not afraid of the chills of the people below. She always thought that Xu was a very smart person, but now she knows that this Xu is completely strong and middle-handed, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a stupid thing: "When did it happen?" β
Second Grandma Zhao nodded and said, "When I went out, I listened to my mother-in-law." Speaking of which, she really did it, the only daughter of the old couple was harmed by her cousin Xu Siye, and she not only did not persuade but helped to abuse. If it weren't for that, the old couple wouldn't have hanged themselves in front of her house. β
Yuxi looked puzzled and asked, "Aiding the abuse?" How do you say that? Could it be that in this lawsuit, Mrs. Qin said hello to Mu Tongju? β
Second Grandma Zhao: "What's the matter, my sister doesn't know about this?" After speaking, he smiled and said, "My sister is now reassuring with peace of mind, I'm afraid that General Yun is unwilling to tell you about these things." I didn't hide this from my sister, that is, Mrs. Qin wrote a letter to Mu Tongju, asking him to suppress this case, and then the big thing turned into nothing. β
Seeing this, Yuxi was embarrassed to pretend to be stupid again, so Yu Shi changed the topic and said: "The officialdom and officials guard each other, and they are still ordinary people. β
Zhao Er's grandmother didn't know how to answer this.
Yuxi waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about it." It's late, it's December soon, and it's time to prepare for the New Year. Sister Tu, what are you preparing for the New Year? β
Grandma Zhao said with a smile: "It's melon seeds, peanuts, rice sugar, walnuts, as well as dry goods and some fried goods in the south." You are in the capital, and the New Year's goods will definitely be richer than here. "The capital is a prosperous place, and there is nothing to want.
Yuxi said with a smile: "It can't be said that the capital is good, every place has its own customs." "The main thing is to have money in your hands, as long as you have money, you can have a good year anywhere. And vice versa.
Second Grandma Zhao smiled and said, "This is reasonable. By the way, Sister Han, many people have told me these days that they want to donate money and do their part for these poor children. I told them, you don't take money. But if they send 100 meters of white noodles to the school, the school will accept it. β
Yuxi said with a smile: "This school has only been running for three months, and it will be dispersed at the beginning of spring, where is it good to raise donations." Besides, I'm just getting started, and I'm crossing the river by feeling the stones, and some things are messy. If I collect everyone's money, I'm afraid that the accounts will not be clear. β
Second Grandma Zhao said with a smile: "Your scruples are also right, don't worry, I have already explained to them." By the way, I heard that the words on the door of the school are all inscribed by you? Is this true? I didn't look at them, but I heard that the two paintings were very well written. β
Yuxi Wan'er: "It's barely passable, and I don't deserve such praise." β
The two talked for a long time, and Yuxi said with a smile: "Let's stay and eat at noon!" Two days ago, Zhuangzi sent some bacon and sausages to you, you can taste them then. If you like it, take some back. β
Second Grandma Zhao responded very happily: "I have heard a long time ago, the bacon and sausages made in your house taste very good, and I will try them today." "The sausages and bacon are ready, and the first thing to be sent is the restaurant. Yuxi's restaurant is now very famous in Yucheng, not only the wine is delicious, the food is also delicious, and more importantly, the price is not too outrageous. So, business is excellent.
At noon, a plate of steamed bacon was placed on the table. As soon as Zhao Er's grandmother saw it, her appetite came up. This piece of meat is crystal clear, and the thin is ruddy and delicate. I picked up the chopsticks, took a piece and put it in my mouth, and the unique aroma of bacon instantly diffused.
This bacon is fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, and there is a faint fragrance in the mouth. This smell is so fragrant that Zhao Er's grandmother sandwiched another piece. After eating three pieces in a row, Grandma Zhao gave up, which was also because she restrained herself as a guest at someone else's house, otherwise she might not be able to eat this plate: "Sister Han, how do you make this bacon?" Why is it so fragrant? It was so fragrant that I almost swallowed my tongue just now. "The practice of sausages and bacon has long been spread to the northwest, so it is not a rare thing, but it is the first time that Grandma Zhao has eaten such delicious cured meat.
Yuxi said with a smile: "To do bacon and sausages well, the process of marinating is very important. How much salt is used for each pound of meat, as well as sedan chairs, cinnamon, star anise and other ingredients are very important. The time of marination and the tumbling during marinating are also very important. Every procedure must not be wrong, and if it is wrong, the taste will be much worse. β
Grandma Zhao asked with a smile: "However, this bacon still has a faint fragrance, if I am not mistaken, this should be the fragrance of white melon?" Sister, how did you do that? β
Yuxi said with a smile: "It's not difficult, it's just that when you smoke and roast, you add the melon skin." When it comes out, there will be a faint aroma of white pear melon on the meat. "Of course, the bacon sent to Yunfu has this fragrance, and the restaurant has no more. The restaurant uses cypress branches to smoke and roast, and this bacon has a unique aroma of cypress branches.
Second Grandma Zhao said with a smile: "My sister's mind is really coincidental. β
Yuxi said with a smile: "I didn't make it, it was taught to me by my former grandmother." However, this thing is just fresh, and it should not be eaten more. "The way of health preservation, pickled things should not be eaten more, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In the Northwest, however, this is difficult to do. In addition to the Chinese cabbage, it is a radish, but fortunately, the white mother will send some bean sprouts and other things to adjust on weekdays. As for building a greenhouse, Yuxi never thought about it, the cost was too big and it was not cost-effective.
After lunch, Zhao's second grandmother went back. As soon as Yuxi turned around and entered the house, he heard the maid say that Xu Wu asked to see him.
Xu Wu walked in and said, "Madam, Fourth Master Xu was assassinated in the restaurant, and his life and death are unknown for the time being. "That restaurant Yuxi has also been to, that is, the one that Yunqing took her to when she was newly married.
Yuxi's heart jumped when he heard the word restaurant, but when he saw Xu Wu's appearance, he was relieved and said, "Did the assassin catch it?" β
Xu Wu said: "The assassin was killed on the spot by Xu Siye's guards. As for the identity of the assassin, it is unclear for the time being. "When he got the news, he came to sue SΓΉ Yuxi.
Yuxi wondered: "Now that he is in the limelight, the mastermind behind the scenes has not come out, and this Fourth Master Xu is still swaggering to eat in the restaurant?" This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have. "But this Fourth Master Xu is also big enough, so he won't die.
Seeing this, Xu Wu explained: "I heard from the person who reported that the assassin was the second child of the restaurant, and he mixed into the box with the dishes, and the guards were unprepared, so he succeeded. β
At night, Yuxi knew that it was none other than the fiancΓ© of the woman who was raped/adulterated by Xu Siye. The two grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and even the marriage date was set. The woman was going to buy something for personal use, and was seen by Xu Siye. After the woman committed suicide, his fiancΓ© disappeared. It's just that everyone didn't expect that he would change his face and enter the restaurant as an errand boy.
This thing is very strange, in an industry like a restaurant, the people who choose it must be trustworthy. Otherwise, if you poison the food, it will be a big problem. Therefore, how this man entered the restaurant is debatable.
Yuxi frowned and asked, "What about the man's family?" β
Xu Wu shook his head and said, "He is the only one left in their family." He changed his face and hid in the restaurant, probably waiting to assassinate Xu Siye! β
Yuxi didn't answer Xu Wu's words, but said: "As soon as he dies, the people behind the scenes won't be able to find out." "The death of the old couple and the assassination incident were all carefully designed, but I don't know whose handiwork. Ahem, the water in this Yucheng is getting muddy and muddy.
In the evening, when Yunqing came back, he saw that Yuxi was not looking very good, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it unwell? β
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." β
Zi Jin said on the side: "Madame is uncomfortable after hearing about the old couple who hanged themselves. "It was supposed to be a happy family, but because of the Xu family, a brute, all four of the family died.
Yun Qing's face was very ugly, and he said, "Who told Mrs. SΓΉ about these things?" After saying that, his face became even colder. Mother Qu and the others have always been in the inner courtyard and rarely go out, where would they know these things, nine times out of ten Xu Wu said. It seems that the convoy needs to be rectified.
Yuxi waved his hand and asked Mother Qu and the others to go down, and said, "I'm just a little worried, and I don't know who designed this qiΔ. "What happened in the past two days is enough to see that the mastermind behind the scenes is a ruthless person.
Yun Qing was silent for a moment and said, "This incident was planned by the enemies of the Xu family, you don't have to worry. β
Yuxi was a little shocked: "Do you know who it is?" β
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "The Xu family has acted arbitrarily over the years, offending many people and many enemies. I don't know exactly whose house it is. β
Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she was not worried about being the enemy of the Xu family. What she was afraid of was Yan Wushuang, who was hiding in the shadows and only knew his name. It was really the feeling that Yan Wushuang gave her, it was too weird. Now it seems that she is thinking too much: "I said why the Xu family threw the old couple into the mass grave, it turned out to be the inheritance of the Xu family." "There is the Song family in front and the Xu family in the back, it's really disgusting.
Unless necessary, like Fu Qingluo did last time, Yun Qing never commented on how other women were. This time, he didn't echo Yuxi's words either. R1148
