Xie Nanxiao continued, "Wu Xiang pretended to be ill not long ago because she didn't want shopkeeper Su to drive her away. According to her, someone contacted her and taught her how to poison the well. When the time came, she would cooperate internally and externally to destroy the fairy. The reputation of the guest. But Wu Xiang did not dare to use poison and only prepared croton powder."
"Everything was originally planned, but Wu Xiang's maid Ruilan was unwilling to do this. Ruilan also told you about this that day."
"Master Xie, what do you mean, Wu Xiang has already joined forces with outsiders?" Su Liuye frowned, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Yes."
Xie Nanxiao brought another confession, "Shopkeeper Su, you can take a look here. Based on the testimony of Wu Xiang and Ruilan, I infer that Wu Xiang is just one of the chess pieces, and the mastermind behind the scenes has been sending people to keep an eye on Wu Xiang, seeing that Ruilan didn't dare to poison the well, the people hiding in the dark did it themselves. This trick is like a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind."
After taking the confession, the testimonies of Wu Xiang and Ruilan were clearly recorded.
Su Liuye looked at them separately and quickly sorted things out.
Her expression turned cold, as she really thought that Wu Xiang resented her so deeply that he would not hesitate to cooperate with outsiders and poison her to frame her.
"Master Xie, where is Wu Xiang now?" she asked.
Xie Nanxiao did not hide anything, "In the dungeon. According to the law, Wu Xiang must be sentenced for malicious poisoning. Although she used croton powder, her original intention was to poison. Ruilan only obeyed the master's instructions and finally stopped at the cliff. You only need to be locked up in the prison for a few days. If Shopkeeper Su wants to see Wu Xiang, then come back in a few days. I need Master Gao to come back to judge these days. At this time, it is not convenient to meet the prisoner before the judgment. "
After listening to Xie Nanxiao's words, Su Liuye's face still didn't look good. She asked, "What about Shaolan?"
Rui Langen and Shao Lan were both slaves around Wu Xiang, and she didn't believe that Shao Lan didn't know anything.
"Shaolan knows more than Ruilan." Xie Nanxiao brought over another confession, "Look, this is Shaolan's confession. Shaolan has been in charge of Wu Xiang and the people behind the scenes. We met, but Shaolan said that every time that person came to see Wu Xiang, he always pretended to be there, and she didn’t know who he was.”
Su Liuye took it and checked it. Shaolan's testimony was indeed more detailed than Ruilan's, but it only said that when Wu Xiang was pretending to be ill, she went to the medicine hall many times to see the doctor. There was a man who called himself Wu Laosan. The man took the initiative to find her and said that Su Liuye could be driven out of Qingzhou County and asked Shaolan to tell Wu Xiang.
After hearing these words, Wu Xiang agreed to cooperate without any hesitation.
Originally, Wu Laosan also gave Wu Xiang a pack of heartbroken grass. Wu Xiang was reluctant to give up when she heard that it was highly poisonous, but she couldn't bear to see Su Liuye's beauty. She also thought that the reason why Qin Lian targeted her was all because of Su. Willow Ye instructed, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she asked Ruilan to go to the medicine hall and buy croton.
But Ruilan was timid and knew that such a thing was against the law, so he didn't dare to pour the croton powder into the well. The person behind the scenes had been watching nearby. Seeing that Ruilan was reluctant to take action, he took action himself.
"Master Xie, Ruilan said the person she saw that night was a woman. Who is this Wu Laosan?" Su Liuye frowned.
"Yes, Wu Laosan and others should be in the same group." Master Xie said, "Shopkeeper Su, don't worry, the Yamen will handle this matter as soon as possible and clear Xianke Lai's name. You go back and wait for the news first. .”
"Okay, thank you, Master."
Hearing this, Su Liuye also knew that it was impossible to see Wu Xiang today.
She took Qin Lian and left.
On the way back, the two of them strolled around the streets to see if there was any other place nearby suitable for opening a restaurant. The nearby Luoxi Town was a good choice.
Su Liuye bought a map and some snacks on the street, and took them to Yingxian Pavilion.
Liu Sheng was taking Dabao and Erbao to read and read in the backyard. When they saw Su Liuye coming, the children immediately ran over with joy on their faces.
"Mother, Aunt Lianlian, you are here!"
Erbao pounced on her, his big watery eyes full of joy, "Mother, I learned how to recite poetry today, and Uncle Liu Sheng even praised me for my awesomeness!"
"I can do it too!"
Dabao was afraid of being ignored, so he immediately shouted.
"You are so awesome." Su Liuye said with a smile, "Then you can learn from Uncle Liu Sheng for a while. Mother and Aunt Lianlian still have things to do." As she said that, she handed over the snacks she bought. Liu Sheng, if Dabao and Erbao perform well, you can reward them.
Su Liuye took Qin Lian to the side and opened the map he had just bought.
The place where they are located is just one of the towns in Qingzhou County. Luoxi Town next door is the most prosperous town in this area.
Luoxi Town is close to the Luoxi River and has developed water transportation, with fleets arriving every month. The Luoxi River is one of the branches of the Lingjiang River. The Lingjiang River spans most of the Xia Kingdom and is the most important commercial transportation channel. From Luoxi Town, the boat can reach the capital in two months.
If they could open a shop in Luoxi Town, the business would only be better than here, and Luoxi Town is crowded and prosperous. Unlike here, there are only a few restaurants. If one is exclusive, it will easily attract the resentment of others.
Su Liuye drew a line in Luoxi Town, "Lianlian, look, how about we go here? Although it takes two days to go there by carriage, if we can find a suitable store, it will be like going to Cyclamen Living in the backyard also saves time traveling back and forth.”
"It's really good."
Qin Lian didn't quite understand this, so she heard it from the side. When she heard that she could live in Luoxi Town, her reputation became brighter.
Luoxi Town is special to these girls who grew up in the village.
Girls in Qinghe Village are sold by their parents when they reach a certain age and become other people's wives. They can only stay in the village for the rest of their lives.
They had only heard of the word "Luoxi Town" from men. Although they knew it was prosperous, they had no chance to see it with their own eyes.
Now that she heard that she could go to Luoxi Town, Qin Lian was naturally excited.
Su Liuye also understood what she was thinking, immediately smiled and chose the location of the store in Luoxi Town.
Liu Sheng happened to let the two children rest for a while. When he heard that they were going to Luoxi Town, Liu Sheng immediately said, "Shopkeeper, can I go with you? I happen to have relatives in Luoxi Town."
"Are you coming too?"
Su Liuye frowned. It would be easier to do things if there were acquaintances there, but... "If you come with us, no one will see Cyclamen."
Cyclamen was the first store she opened. She had an unusual feeling and didn't want to close down so easily.
Although Cyclamen's reputation was completely ruined due to the poisoning incident, they can still make some pastries and sell them in limited quantities every day.
