Chapter 93 A speck of dust of the times

On September 29, the 25th year of Wanshou, an official reported to the court.

The memorial said: In the Qamdo Prefecture, many achievements have been made in revitalizing the people. Some officials asked the people if they had no food, and they all said yes. When asked more than 20 people, they all agreed.

The Emperor is delighted.

…

After lying down for a long time, Yu Rong prepared the food and asked the two little ones to call him.

Chu Zheng got up, went to the courtyard, and started eating.

"Brother Chu, since you are back, do you want me to find someone to call your sister over?" Yu Rong paused and asked.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay. It's not a big deal if I come back. There's no need to call her."

At this moment, there was a noise outside.

Hearing the sound, Chu Zheng looked stunned and felt a little strange. He asked Yu Rong who was standing aside: "Sister-in-law, what happened outside?"

After hearing his words, Yu Rong paused and said: "One thing happened recently. Zhang Shan's son and wife died yesterday. Someone from the government came to inquire about Zhang Shan's situation."

"Zhang Shan?" Chu Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this.

Zhang Shan was naturally the ruffian who wanted to ask him about chicken before. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a short time, his wife and son would all die.

This thing is a little weird.

However, Chu Zheng felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to get involved.

"How did you die?" Chu Zheng asked casually while eating his food.

"He was poisoned to death." Yu Rong replied.

Upon hearing Yu Rong's words, Chu Zheng's brows immediately wrinkled.

Zhang Shan lives near here, and the appearance of a person who poisoned him like this made him have some concerns.

"Sister-in-law, has the murderer been caught?" Chu Zheng asked.

After hearing his words, Yu Rong hesitated and said: "The government arrested someone, but..."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a while and then said: "But things are a little weird."

After hearing her words, Chu Zheng asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Because according to what Zhang Shan said, his son's wife was poisoned to death by Mr. Li Ming."

"How is that possible?" Chu Zheng looked at Yu Rong in shock.

In his impression, Li Ming was a gentle and gentle young man. The other party's net worth was even more extraordinary.

He didn't believe that such a person would poison Zhang Shan's wife and children.

"The neighbors here don't believe it either." Yu Rong shook her head, "Ever since Mr. Li Ming came here, he has been doing good things to the neighbors and often uses banana leaves to feed people who are infected with the cold. When some of the neighbors are in trouble, he also

We will do our best to help. We really don’t believe Mr. Li Ming is the kind of person who would drug someone to kill someone.”

Chu Zheng frowned, was silent for a while, and said, "Sister-in-law, please tell me the whole story."

"Okay." Yu Rong nodded. She also understood that Brother Chu was a capable person.

If he is intentional, the other party may be able to help Li Ming now.

"This matter should start from the day before yesterday..." Yu Rong began to tell what she knew.

The day before yesterday, Zhang Shan secretly entered Li Ming's yard and wanted to steal banana leaves.

As a result, he broke several banana trees while stealing leaves.

And when he stole it, he was discovered by Li Ming. Li Ming scolded him and kicked him out.

And yesterday, Zhang Shan's son caught wind and cold and was seriously ill. Because of his wife's request, Zhang Shan came to Li Ming again to ask for banana leaves.

Li Ming was kind-hearted, so he promised the other party and gave him a few banana leaves.

As a result, Zhang Shan's son and wife were poisoned at home that day.

Zhang Shan said that because he broke Li Ming's banana tree, Li Ming poisoned his wife and children to death because of his hatred.

The rumor going around now is that Li Ming was grudged by Zhang Shan for breaking his banana, so he smeared poison into the banana leaves he gave to Zhang Shan.

However, because Li Ming has a good reputation here, the neighbors also vouch for him, saying that he is not that kind of person.

Plus there is no direct evidence.

Therefore, this case has remained unresolved.

"Can Li Ming poison?" Chu Zheng listened to what Yu Rong said, and an idea appeared in his mind.

If he had heard about it before, he felt that it was unlikely. Because he felt that Li Ming was not that kind of person.

But thinking of Li Ming's crazy love for Bajiao, Chu Zheng suddenly felt that the other party might have a chance.

As for whether Zhang Shan would poison him, Chu Zheng had not thought about it.

Zhang Shan and Li Ming didn't have any deep hatred. They wanted to kill their wives and children to frame each other.

Harming Li Ming like this will do him no good at all.

"Things are getting a little difficult." Chu Zheng pondered for a long time, but still had no clue.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to vouch for it, please add me as well. I don't think Mr. Li Ming is that kind of person." He paused and said to Yu Rong beside him.

Although he felt that there was a slight possibility that Li Ming was poisoned because Zhang Shan broke the banana tree.

But, that's only a slim possibility.

As long as Li Ming is not crazy, he will not do such a thing.

"Yeah, okay." Yu Rong was a little disappointed. She thought Chu Zheng knew about this and went to help solve the case.

In fact, this is because Yu Rong thought solving the case was too simple.

The previous wedding case seemed difficult, but in fact it was very easy to solve if you handled the logic well.

And this case is much more complicated than the previous one.

The grudge between the deceased and the suspect was too forced. The suspect also had the endorsement of his neighbors.

As for the deceased, there was no breakthrough.

It is very possible for this kind of case to be left open for more than ten years given today's conditions.

Of course, the main reason why Chu Zheng ignored this case was that he had other things to do.

Then, Yu Rong entered the room and started making clothes.

She took some orders at a tailor shop to support her family.

After Chu Zheng finished eating, he talked about Journey to the West with Ma Xiang and Ma Niuer for a while, then wrote about ten words and asked them to study on their own.

Because of the story, they are very interested in calligraphy practice.

Afterwards, Chu sat down cross-legged in the courtyard and began to practice.

In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Zheng heard the sound and stopped practicing.

Then, he walked to the door and opened it.

As the door opened, what caught his eye was a woman who was no more than twenty-eight years old.

The woman was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, holding some clothes, her hair was slightly messy, and there was a touch of sadness on her young and delicate face.

When she saw Chu Zheng, she was stunned at first, and then her eyes turned red.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"Come back?" Chu Qingqing's voice was obviously hoarse. She took a deep breath, sniffed, and said with a smile, "It's good to be back."

After saying that, she hugged Chu Zheng.

Her body was weak and she had no strength, but Chu Zheng, as a warrior at the ninth level of skin training, felt that the opponent's strength seemed to be a little tight.

The other party seemed to be afraid that he would fly away.

At the same time, he felt something dripping on his neck, wet but warm.

Chu Zheng knew exactly what it was.

Obviously, Chu Qingqing's heart is not as simple as it appears.

At this moment, Chu Zheng felt a little heavy in his heart.

He suddenly felt that he needed to live well in this world.

Not for myself, but also for my sister.

"Sister, I'm fine." Chu Zheng patted Chu Qingqing's back and comforted her.

At the same time, he had an idea in his mind and spent a hundred taboo coins on Chu Qingqing.
