It was the poisoning of Lord Hou.

Su Mo started the investigation from inside the mansion. He asked his confidant guards to carefully investigate all the servants in the mansion who had the opportunity to come into contact with the food of the old Marquis, and found nothing unusual, so he ruled out the possibility of doing something in the mansion.

From this point of view, at least it shows that the interior of the Hou Mansion is safe.

There is no chance to start in the mansion, so the only way to do it is to buy ingredients from outside the mansion.

In the huge Hou Mansion, dozens of ingredients are imported every day, and this does not include the regular purchase of rice with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar...

This is a huge project, but fortunately Huangtian paid off, and finally let his confidant guards catch a butcher selling meat this morning.

"It's a butcher named Hu."

The confidant guard said, "Old Hou Ye loves to eat meat. I have been buying meat from his house for the past few years, and nothing has gone wrong."

Su Mo asked, "Is there something wrong with this butcher?"

The confidant guard shook his head: "No, he's fine, the zong leaves he used to wear the meat were soaked in poison. In order not to be discovered, the dosage is very small, and it won't be good or bad if you take it once or twice, but it can be done in a month or two. It's hard to say."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Why aren't others poisoned?"

The confidant guard replied: "The old man only likes to eat the most tender rib meat, and every time he prepares it for the old man alone, the cook in the house occasionally steals his mouth, but one is that he doesn't eat much, and the other is, There are several cooks in our house, not every time the same cook eats it. However, they have also been a little dizzy recently, they just thought it was too tired and didn't take it seriously."

It also appears to be chronically poisoned.

Su Mo asked, "Where's the hawker selling Zongye?"

The confidant guard said embarrassingly: "I caught it... But, the little one didn't pay attention, and let him bite his tongue and commit suicide."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ordinary people can't bite their tongues off."

This is a bureau, specially set up for the old Hou Ye, no, maybe it is a bureau set up for the entire Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Su Mo was obviously dissatisfied with this result. He didn't get angry, and he still looked gentle. However, Su Xiaoxiao noticed with sharp eyes that the guard's forehead was dripping with sweat.

This eldest son of the Su family is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

"But—" the confidant guard gasped, secretly glad that he didn't stop there, and he continued to investigate later.

"The man's name is Xiangzi. He came to the capital in October last year. He came with a caravan around the end of the month. He broke up with the caravan for some reason and lived on the streets. Later, he started a fight in a grain shop. Day laborer, the zong leaves are sold from that shop."

"The shop hasn't found out the problem yet, but according to the clerk in the shop, Xiangzi has a concubine in a wealthy family. Once, the clerk bumped into him, and Xiangzi threatened him not to tell the story, otherwise he would do him."

Su Mo frowned: "Which big family?"

The confidant guard hesitated for a while and said, "The Palace of the Protector."

...

After the confidant guard retreated, Su Mo fell into deep thought.

"What are you thinking?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Mo said solemnly: "A major event happened in the Zhenbeihou Mansion in October last year."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and motioned him to continue.

Su Mo said: "Grandfather and father had a big quarrel in the study. That day was grandmother's birthday party, and many guests came. Grandfather threatened to abolish father's position as the eldest son, and word got out. When the father broke up, a 'peddler' came to poison the grandfather, I think this may not be a coincidence."

"Why are they arguing?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Mo said seriously: "For the sake of moving the ancestral hall, my father proposed to move the ancestral hall to the capital, but my grandfather disagreed and made a big fuss. In fact, it was just a matter of anger. How can father and son have an overnight feud? But people say Terrible. There are big families, sisters are evil, brothers hate, father and son enmity, too many to list."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Su Mo glanced at her and said, "If you hadn't discovered that my grandfather was poisoned in time, the worst result would be that my grandfather is gone, and all the evidence pointing to my father's patricide in order to keep his title will all be thrown out. come out."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Su Mo: "..."

Su Mo opened the snack box on the table and pushed it to her hand.

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao blinked strangely as she looked at a jar full of smashed walnuts.

"Don't you like to eat this?" Su Mo asked.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up one and looked it over and over again.

Are these really smashed walnuts?

Which obsessive-compulsive disorder smashed it?

It's so complete!

Su Xiaoxiao took a bite.

"How's uncle doing?" Su Mo asked.

When they left yesterday, Su Cheng was still in a coma. They could tell that Su Cheng had been stimulated. In order to prevent Su Cheng from being stimulated again, they decided to go back home first.

Otherwise, according to the old Hou Ye's temperament, he had to bring Su Cheng's family back with him.

Su Xiaoxiaoyan briefly explained the situation of Papa Su.

Hearing this, Su Mo was silent for a long time.

"It's fine if you don't remember."

he said.

What is that painful memory, you can guess without asking.

The great-aunt used her own life to hold back the assassin, in exchange for a glimmer of life for her own flesh and blood.

Su Cheng most likely witnessed his mother being brutally murdered.

He was only a six-year-old child at the time, and this scene would be unbearable for anyone.

Neither of the two men mentioned the matter of recovering Father Su's memory. Restoring memory is only painful, not beneficial. As for whether there will be clues to find the murderer in Father Su's memory——

Are they dead?

Or is it that they are so incompetent that they need to use this method to find clues that makes Papa Su feel miserable?

Su Xiaoxiao will not allow anyone to hurt Papa Su, that person includes herself.

Papa Su has suffered too much, and she doesn't want him to be sad for the rest of her life.

Just leave the hatred of the year to her.

She will not let go of any of those people.

Pear Blossom Lane.

After the little tiger and the two tigers got up, Duo showed off to his two stinky brothers the sweet time he and his mother had spent walking with the pony and eating roasted sweet potatoes together.

The two tigers were so jealous that they ran to the gate. Unexpectedly, they waited for half a day, but their mother did not come back.

The two felt wronged and were about to cry.

Dumb: "Slightly slightly!"

Who made you stay in bed!

The two tigers and the little tiger are fierce.

Today's brother really deserves a beating!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, grandpa will bake sweet potatoes for you."

Su Cheng went to the kitchen and roasted two big, black sweet potatoes.

Erhu and Xiaohu refused in their hearts, but seeing their grandpa's face blackened by the ashes from the stove, they still stretched out their little hands and took a piece of roasted sweet potato...

Ugh.

It's so unpalatable——

Afterwards, Su Cheng took the three little ones to walk the horses in the alley.

Qin Canglan just came back from a trip.

I happened to pass by Zhuangyuan Street, and remembered that my granddaughter seemed to be learning piano in Lihua Lane.

"Go to Pear Blossom Lane."

he said to the coachman.

-----Off Topic-----

Do you have a monthly pass?
