Nie Xiaoman asked a little puzzled, "What jujube soup?" Can you make that clearer? ”

"My aunt put the bowl on the desk I was leaning against and lifted the lid to reveal a bowl of black date soup. I was suspicious at the time, because I had never received her kindness, and how could I not be wary of her sudden and unusual behaviour in such a situation? ”

"You probably haven't drunk this date soup before."

"Naturally, no. The feeling she gave me at that time made me even more afraid to drink indiscriminately, and when she lifted the lid of the bowl, she said to me: 'Drink it while it is hot, and do not leave it cold.' I replied vaguely, but moved the bowl closer and did not drink, but she sat beside her, and her mouth was perfunctory to me. Her purpose was clear, and she wanted to stare at me and finish the date soup. After a while, she urged again and again, but the more I urged, the more I dared not appreciate it. Then she seemed to see through my suspicions, and found herself a retreat. She said, 'Don't you like to eat?' So, let me take it and give it to Jin Chuan to eat. She stood up. He took the bowl and went downstairs in a panic. Sir, don't you think that this kind of behavior will kill me? “

Nie Xiaoman frowned, shook his head and said, "I think this may be a move to ease your feelings, in order to remove your suspicion of the funeral." But it doesn't seem reasonable to say that she was trying to kill you. Because if that's what you suspect, then she's acting too clumsy. ”

Shang Yuanji waved his hands again and shouted loudly: "This is absolutely true! She must have bad intentions! She's going to hurt me! But I'm not afraid of death, I must ......"

Nie Xiaoman grabbed the scholar's arm with his hand again and helped him sit down again. Xiao Man himself also returned to the circle chair, and while contemplating, he secretly shook his head, as if it showed the experience that Shang Yuanji had told, and he didn't dare to believe it.

Su Jingmo was very inclined to believe because of the scholar's frightened expression. After being quiet for a while, Nie Xiaoman asked again, "What about you after that?" ”

"I am even more convinced that my suspicions are not chasing after the wind because of the two experiences I had had in the middle of the night and this morning. I came out of the house under the pretext of going to a classmate, intending to go to my father's old friend Ouyang Taihe. I never imagined that I would walk out the door and find something suspicious. ”

Jing Mo asked a little nervously, "What's the matter?" ”

"I came out the back door. I opened the back door, and suddenly I saw a person outside the back door, wisped up, looking like he was going to sneak in. As soon as the man saw me coming to open the door, he turned around and ran towards the mouth of another alley. I don't know what the purpose of this man is, but it must be against me. I think maybe it happened to be with my mother's death......"

Nie Xiaoman waved his hand to interrupt him, and then interjected, "Wait a minute, you have the right to express your opinion slowly." I ask you, do you know this person? ”

"No, I've never seen him, but I dare say he's by no means a good man."

"Have you ever seen his face?"

"I saw it, but I didn't know it very clearly. But I remember that he seemed to have a very dark face and a pockmarked face, and he was very tall and had a terrible shape. When he saw me, he turned and ran, and I saw only his form. ”

"Didn't you catch up?"

I was stunned for a moment, but he ran very fast, and in a blink of an eye he turned south and went out into another alley. I didn't have time to catch up. ”

"How He Dresses 7"

"Wearing a short black coat, it seems dirty."

Nie Xiaoman thought quietly for a while, and then said to Shang Yuanji: "Okay, you can go on." You just said that you were going to find an Ouyang Taihe. What kind of person is he? Did you find it later? ”

Shang Yuanji nodded and replied, "I found it." Ouyang Taihe is the pharmacist and major shareholder of Chime Biologics Pharmacy, and my father's only good friend in Jinling. But he was suffering from the wind and cold, and was lying in bed. When I told him what had happened, I hoped that he would help me to avenge my mother's grievances, but I was disappointed. Shang Yuanji shook his head again and again as he spoke, and at the same time showed a look of pouting and disdain.

Nie Xiaoman asked, "This person, Ouyang Taihe, what is his opinion?" ”

Shang Yuanji suddenly said to himself: "I think he is too old, and he suffers from the wind plug of his hands and feet, so it is no wonder that he has the negative idea of 'more things are better than less'." ”

Nie Xiaoman urged again: "What does he say after all?" ”

"Ouyang Taihe, he said that all the doubts I raised were completely due to my nervousness. He said that my family has always been peaceful, not to mention that my aunt is past middle age, and she is usually quite peaceful, so she will not have any evil thoughts. It is true that my mother's asthma attacks were common, so there is no such thing as murder for money. He even warned me not to talk about my suspicions outside, because my aunt had a cousin who was very powerful. His name is Li Dege, and now he is the master of the torture room in Zhenjiang. If I talk nonsense about unfounded things, if they accuse me of falsehood and goodness, then I will inevitably suffer. ...... Alas. My lord. It's too late for me to regret it. If I had known that he was like this, I should not have gone to him. Instead of helping me, he threatened me with many words. ”

Shang Yuanji said this. Suddenly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said to himself: "No, I'm not afraid of these people, I must avenge my mother!" My lord, I know you're the only one who can help me. I was confident that my sanity was not out of order, but because of the experience gained by asking Ouyang Taihe, I knew that if I rashly went to the yamen to sue the officials, they would definitely treat me as a madman and detain me. Therefore, I inquired in many ways, and only then did I ask you, my lord. “

Suddenly, Shang Yuanji turned his head and said to Jing Mo: "Hey, Su Shang sent me to inquire in many ways, and I also found out your chivalrous deeds, and you are also a person I admire." Now, with your intellect, put this matter to a conclusion, for all my doubts are made out of nothing? “

Su Jingmo has always been a little old-fashioned, and seeing that this filial son never forgets his mother's hatred, he is bent on finding a few words to comfort this rare filial son in today's world. So, Jing Mo couldn't take care of it anymore, so he relied on his intuition and issued the following conclusion.

Jing Mo said: "As long as what you say is not out of fiction, I admit that the inside story of this matter is indeed famous." Moreover, I also believe that the death of My Majesty was not due to illness. ”

Jing Mo's remarks made him know that he was a little too impatient, and Nie Xiaoman always said that it seemed inevitable that he would be impatient, but Nie Xiaoman not only did not object, but it seemed like he had twelve points of agreement. This time it was a big surprise to Jing Mo.

Xiao Man said: "Brother Yuanji, I also admit that the circumstances of this matter have exceeded the scope of common sense. However, the words of your father's old friend, Mr. Ouyang, should not be taken lightly. Because all the suspicions you are talking about are only one-sided and imaginary, and there is no actual evidence. If you want to solve it through the official affairs of the yamen, it really can't be established. ”

The scholar then showed a sad face again, and said in a hurry: "Master Nie, didn't you already promise me just now?" Alas, you must not disappoint me. Thou shalt not ......"
