After getting the letter, Su Sheng asked Li Mu to go back to Jinjiacun to report the news. Li Mu did not dare to delay and rented a carriage and returned to Jinjiacun.
"Girl, the Imperial Academy ordered braised pork from our family and asked us to deliver four clay pots every morning. The price per pound is fifteen cents. We will settle the bill together at the end of the month."
"Okay, I understand, you can go back."
After saying that, Li Mu hurriedly got on the carriage and returned to the courtyard of the Imperial College. The young master couldn't stay away from him.
Su Yu was very happy that the problem of braised pork was solved, and she was one step closer to her goal.
That afternoon, a green cloth carriage hurriedly entered Jinjia Village and stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard rented by the Su family. Yu Zheng got off the carriage and hurried into the small courtyard.
At this moment, Mrs. Wu was the only one in the small courtyard. Suddenly she saw a man burst into the house, which shocked Mrs. Wu.
"May I ask, Master, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your girl, you go and call her back now."
The yard was not big, and his voice was not quiet. If Su Yu had been there, he would have come out long ago.
"Who is the master?"
"I am your girl's fiancé."
Wu didn't expect that the person in front of her was this year's new top scholar, the eldest son of Yu Shilang's family.
"Master, wait a moment, I will call the girl back right now."
Su Yu was watching the progress of the pigsty at the back of the village. The pigsty had two large rooms in total, with a long aisle in the middle and pigsties on both sides of the aisle.
Su Yu felt that it would not be a problem to go to farmers' houses all day to catch piglets, so she planned to raise some sows. The pig houses in the row on the left were all large pens, which would be used exclusively for fattening in the future, while the ones on the other side were That row is covered with small pens, specially used for raising sows. A small hole is opened under the partition in the middle. At the other end of the hole is a small pig house, where the sows will give birth to piglets. Baby, you can come over here from the small hole to eat. It’s very convenient to feed.
"Girl, we have a guest at home."
"Did you say where it was?"
Wu glanced at Zhang Chao who was standing aside.
"Miss Su, I'll get busy first."
Seeing that the person was gone, Mrs. Wu said: "The person here is a young gentleman, he said he is the girl's fiancé."
When Su Yu heard the word fiancé, he felt it was very harsh. He had already completely forgotten about the time when he entered the village and used Yu Zheng as a shield. He just threw it away after using it. Thinking that it has been almost three years since the engagement, it is time to resolve the matter.
As soon as Su Yu returned to the small courtyard, he saw the master and servant standing and sitting in the courtyard.
Mrs. Wu was very discerning and hurriedly went to the kitchen to make tea.
Su Yu sat down opposite Yu Zheng.
"Tell me, what are you doing here today?"
Su Yu is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is very smart. The last few times Yu Zheng came to see him, he came at night. He was afraid that people would know about their relationship. Then Su Yu would know that the situation in the Yu family was probably worse than hers. It was more complicated than she imagined, but she didn't want to worry about that. But when I came to the door in broad daylight, I thought something must be wrong.
"There is a case in the palace. I would like to borrow Erhu from you to help find evidence."
"no."
Upon hearing this from the palace, Su Yu refused without thinking.
Yu Zheng knew that it would be difficult to get Su Yu to agree.
What kind of place is the palace? Su Yu would not let Er Hu go there. If Er Hu was attracted by some prince or princess and wanted to leave, then where would she go to cry?
"Don't worry, I brought Erhu there. I will definitely bring him back to you completely. I just asked him to help find some evidence. It's not a difficult task. I will take him away now and send it back to you tomorrow morning. .”
"I said no, it won't work. You can go back. Of course there are people from the government investigating the case. Don't say that the people from the government can't even compare to Erhu."
Yu Zheng really wanted to say it.
"Is it really not possible?"
"No! Don't worry about Erhu. To me, Erhu is not a dog. He is just like my family member. If it were you, would you lend your family member out?"
Yu Zheng was speechless when asked.
"It's because I didn't think well. You can just pretend that I haven't been here today. I'll go back if I have something else to do."
"It's easy to leave without seeing him off."
The master and servant walked to the courtyard door.
"Master, but you have already promised Huang..."
Yu Zheng raised his hand to stop Qing Lin from talking any more.
"Let's go back."
Yu Zheng drove the carriage back to Yu Mansion. He first recalled that Heyuan had changed into official uniforms, and then entered the palace.
"Master Yu, how are you doing? Does your method work?"
"Master Huang, can I go to the crime scene and take another look?"
As soon as Huang Qi heard Yu Zheng's words, he knew that the method he thought of was useless, and his heart suddenly became cold.
"Go ahead."
Yu Zheng went to the lotus pond where Miss Huang drowned.
Early this morning, Mrs. Huang took her eldest daughter into the palace to meet the Queen. In the Queen's Fengyi Palace, Mrs. Huang was talking to the Queen. Miss Huang did it for a while and then went for a walk in the garden. After leaving, she did not come back. Later, when Mrs. Huang realized something was wrong and the queen sent someone to look for her, she found that Miss Huang had drowned in the lotus pond of Fengyi Palace.
A female relative of a second-rank official died in the Queen's Palace. This matter was not a big deal. The Emperor took this matter very seriously. Because the person died in the Queen's Palace, the Queen could not interfere. In the end, Mr. Huang personally invited He wanted to investigate thoroughly and wanted to give his daughter justice. It seemed that this matter was quite involved. No officials in the court wanted to get involved. Yu Zheng came over at this time for no other reason than that he owed Master Huang a favor. .
Yu Zheng took a look around and found nothing suspicious. To say that Miss Huang did not fall into the water but was killed, the most important evidence is that Miss Huang is holding a purse in her hand. The purse has been identified by someone, and it is not Miss Huang brought it in from outside the palace, but it was worn uniformly by the maids in the palace. The purses had no characteristics, and each maid would have two or three such purses. It was really difficult to check, so Yu Zheng remembered Er Hu. He wanted Erhu to come over and help, but Su Yu didn't agree and Yu Zheng couldn't.
Nothing was found in this matter in the end, and it was left undisturbed after that. Because the person died in the Queen's Palace, the Queen was fined for half a year.
A lot of people died in the palace in the past years. If it weren't for the death this time of a female family member of a second-grade official, the matter wouldn't have been so big.
Su Yu later heard about this from the villagers. After thinking about it for a moment, he thought about the reason why Yu Zheng hurriedly came to borrow Erhu that day. But Su Yu didn't regret at all for not lending Erhu out. Once the matter was involved in the palace, things would become big. She couldn't drag her family into trouble for the sake of someone who died and had nothing to do with her. , she is not that holy yet. In this world, being wise and protecting oneself is the way to survive. Whether she is cold-blooded or selfish, it is good to be alive in this world. There are so many demands.
Today is the day when the ducklings hatch out of their shells. The master and servants are so busy that they can’t even touch the ground. Of course the workers in the workshop not far away heard the commotion here, but they were busy with the things at hand and didn’t do much. I spent all my time asking around.
As soon as the chicks hatched, Su Yu had some free time and could go around the city. Finding a shop should also be put on the agenda.
