Chapter 87(1/2)
Xin Yi turned around and saw Sun Yuzhi's smiling face.
"Hello, young master." Xin Yi saluted and looked at the lintel of Sun's drug store, "Has the drug store given way?"
She was a little worried.
Sun Yuzhi smiled softly and shook his head, "Not yet."
After a pause, he looked into Xin Yi's eyes and said with a smile: "I think the young lady sincerely loves the shop, but I can give in another two hundred guan, no, three hundred guan."
"Three hundred strings?" Xin Yi calculated in his mind and was very excited.
"Yes. The deal was completed for two thousand five hundred dollars."
Xin Yi smiled and said, "To be honest with my young master, I really want a auxiliary son, but I really can't raise so much money right now. Can you wait for me a little longer?"
There was light in her eyes, forbearing, yet firm.
This kind of light moved Sun Yuzhi very much. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll give you half a month. I have to go to school after the Lantern Festival, and I can't delay it any longer."
He was so polite that Xin Yi felt a little embarrassed and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you so much, young master, for making it happen. Then we have an agreement. If I can raise the money to sell the shop within half a month, you don't have to give me a low price. I will pay the actual three thousand guan, and it will be regarded as interest for you."
Sun Yuzhi was slightly startled.
Don't take advantage of her, this little lady is really impressive.
"Then you and I have made an agreement. Do we need to make a written statement?"
Xin Yi smiled awkwardly, "I don't have much, so the young master's family is the one who suffers from the loss..."
Sun Yuzhi smiled and was about to speak when a series of shouts came from behind.
"Give way, give way."
Xin Yi quickly stepped aside and saw several more porters carrying things to "Du's Fragrant Medicine".
Is this incense shop doing so well?
Seeing her confusion, Sun Yuzhi smiled and said: "This shop has just been given away and has a new owner. It will open in two days."
I see.
Xin Yi nodded, said no more, said goodbye to Sun Yuzhi, and led the donkey back to Zhangjiacun.

Imperial City Division.
Cai Qi sat in front of Fu Jiuqu, looking at him with doubts.
"Pick it up high and put it down gently. Chonglou, isn't this your style?"
Fu Jiuqu flipped through the files without saying a word or raising his head.
Cai Qi said bluntly: "There are many doubts about Miss Zhang. As for her excuses, do you think they are tenable? If you ask me, drag people to the Imperial City Prison, clean them up, and explain everything. Where?
Is it so troublesome to come here? Chonglou, you are not bewitched by her, are you? These few words have convinced you?"
"I have my own sense of discretion." Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "What she said is not unreasonable. She was the one who found out Chen Chusheng, and it was she who took the initiative to tell me about the case. Butcher Wang and the porter wanted to kill
I saw her with my own eyes..."
"Haha!" Cai Qi sniffed the scent of white glue in the air, fanned his hands in displeasure, and leaned forward to look at him, "Chonglou, you look like a fool who has been sucked by a vixen...
…”
"Get lost." Fu Jiuqu looked at him coldly, "I have found out that the three secret letters were all written by Chen Chusheng."
"What?" Cai Qi had just come over and didn't know anything about the matter. He was very surprised when he heard this. "He first sent a secret letter and ordered everyone to arrest him. Then he deliberately slandered Xiao Zhang, and finally set himself on fire in Yaowang Pagoda.
Zhang Yaozhuo and Cao Yi criticized each other and dragged so many people into trouble, but he died to apologize and died. What did Chen Chusheng want?"
Fu Jiuqu was silent for a moment.
"For the arson case in the first year of Qingli year, I want to restore my family. But you are wrong about one thing. Chen Chusheng was not willing to die to apologize, but was forced by Mrs. Zhang. The situation did not allow him to hesitate. This is why I believe Mrs. Zhang
Reason. Otherwise, nothing makes sense..."
Cai Qi nodded, "Yes, it makes some sense. Chonglou, the three secret letters were made so secret, how did you find out?"
Fu Jiuqu hummed: "Zixian."
"Character test?" Cai Qi was slightly startled and became excited, "How is this character test performed?"
"Thanks to my master for this matter." Fu Jiuqu glanced at him, "In two days when I feel better, you come with me to Di Mansion and have a few cups with my master. I will tell you more in detail."
Cai Qi became anxious as soon as he heard this, "No, no, no, I refuse. You are trying to get rid of my two Dongting Spring Sceneries again. Don't even think about it! Say it again..."
His voice was weak, and even his eyes were timid, "I'm afraid of Mr. Di, very scared. My mother said that when I was a child, I almost peed my pants when I saw the tattoos on his face. Now I... dare to talk to him anywhere."
Have you been drinking?”
Fu Jiuqu glared coldly, "Mouse gall! Then get out of here and find some detectives to keep little Zhang under my watch."
Cai Qi complained, "Chonglou, there's nothing wrong with you, right?"
Fu Jiuqu glared at him, pondered for a moment and then said: "She is suspicious. If we keep a close eye on her, maybe we will find something."
Cai Qi understood.
In the final analysis, Fu Jiuqu did not really trust Xiao Zhang, so letting her go was just a long-term plan to catch the big fish.
"That's what you look like." Cai Qi stood up with satisfaction and patted Fu Jiuqu's shoulder, "You take good care of yourself. Leave this matter to me and I will keep it safe for you."
…
Three days later, the court posted a notice.
The fact that the murderer of the water ghost case was Chen Chusheng, a former medical officer of the Hanlin Academy, became known to the world.
Although the details of the case were not mentioned, the Zhangjiacun water ghost case has come to an end.
Xin Yi was not mentioned in the notice, but as an important figure in this mystery case, she was still subject to discussion.
And another case also surfaced.
...The mystery of Miss Zhang falling into the water.
Xiao Xie, the convict's wife, confessed to the crime of accidental murder. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three thousand miles in prison without any reversal.
Dong Dahai used inferior medicinal materials as high-quality medicines and sold them, enriched his own pockets, and traveled two thousand miles to break the spine of the seventeenth, and served for one year.
Connected with this is the fact that Jinzouyuan allowed the imperial newspaper to fabricate nonsense and disturb people's livelihood. The imperial court used this to purge officials and several officials were dismissed. The chief arrest officer of Kaifeng Prefecture often lured criminals to confess and beat witnesses. Although he committed suicide in fear of crime,
But the chief official of Kaifeng Mansion has an unshirkable responsibility.
Fu Jiuqu presented the case to Zhao Guan's family. On the same day, Zhang Yaozhuo was scolded by Zhao Zhen in public when he went to court.
When Zhang Guifei heard about this, she felt like she had been slapped in the face. She felt miserable in front of Zhao Guan's family. She said that her uncle wanted to share the worries of the official family, but failed to get things done, but his original intention was good. He was beaten five times.
Shi Daban, her injury has not yet recovered. She was scolded again after entering the palace. The old wounds and new injuries must be even more difficult to heal, which made her worried.
Normally, Zhao Zhen would have coaxed her well, but this day Zhao Zhen turned down his face and walked away in anger.
Concubine Zhang cried bitterly, and then she understood from the words of the chamberlain that the officials scolded her uncle, but they were actually protecting him. If the officials did not scold him, were they waiting for the remonstrating officer to come?
After understanding this, Concubine Zhang made soup and went to Funing Hall several times to ask for an audience, but she was always stopped by the servants of Zhao Guan's family.
With no one to see, Concubine Zhang fell seriously ill due to anger, and the imperial doctor repeatedly told her...
News from the palace could not be spread outside, but the attitude of the officials was sometimes the attitude of the ministers. Zhang Yaozhuo fell out of favor for a while and was left in the cold. He also took advantage of his injuries and stayed behind closed doors. Even the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion were handed over to him.
It was left to Zeng Qinda to take care of it. He would not show up for anything big and was very tolerant.
In this whole matter, if Fu Jiuqu is the winner, then the Cao family reaps the benefits.
He almost didn't take any action, but because of the Guangling County Prince, he eliminated his opponent.
Everyone is happy.
As a result, the marriage between Miss Cao and Prince Guangling was finally put on the agenda.
The eldest princess has already let the news out, and when the New Year is over, she will choose an auspicious day and ask the official media to come to discuss marriage. The Cao family got the news and made preparations early. Miss Cao was even more happy.
The sisters were walking around the shop, their backs straightened up a bit.
The news spread quickly that the Prince of Guangling County was going to marry Miss Cao.
The Jinzouyuan that had just been inspected did not stop the tabloids from being spread everywhere in Bianjing Prefecture.
This incident was published in tabloids and spread widely.
Xin Yi went to Huangsicheng and saw the news when he was buying rice cakes at Uncle Zhang's food stall. The tabloid was placed on the table and Uncle Zhang used it as a tabletop.
She slowly picked it up, looked at it, and smiled.
This Fu Jiuqu was going to have a happy event at home, yet he bullied her so meanly?
Hum~
Xin Yi put down the tabloid, looked at the busy Uncle Zhang, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, how much money can this stall make in a day?"
Uncle Zhang turned back with a smile, "Where can I get a few pennies? Excluding the cost, three to five hundred pennies is enough."
To be continued...
