Chapter 117 The murderer behind the scenes

As winter passed and spring came, the wheat seedlings in Song Yanzhi's fields sprouted very well. Song Yanzhi led the tenants to mix fertilizer with water at a ratio of 1:3 and poured the fertilizer water into the fields.

The wheat field was irrigated with water and fertilizer, and the wheat grew wildly as if it was being pulled up by someone. Compared with the wheat in other people's fields, his wheat was greener and stronger.

Ever since Song Yanzhi came up with the idea of ​​doing business, he has been busy all over the village. He takes the wives and children of the tenants to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, mushrooms and fresh bamboo shoots all day long.

She even hired many women from poor families to work in the mountains for her, and paid them silver every day.

There are so many wild vegetables, mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the mountains in spring that you can’t pick them all in the town.

"Why did you bring back so many things?"

Han Heming, lying in a rocking chair under the eaves and basking in the sun, looked at the yard full of wild vegetables, mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and asked Song Yanzhi in confusion.

"Sell it."

Song Yanzhi moved a small stool and sat beside him, picking and cleaning the mushrooms picked by the ladies.

"How to sell it?"

Han Heming was very curious.

"There are so many ways to prepare it. For example, these mushrooms can be made into braised shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots can be made into hot and sour bamboo shoots, and wild vegetables can be made into crispy pickles. You can sell them in restaurants or push them on the streets in a cart. Anything is possible."

Han Heming knew that Song Yanzhi could cook, but he was skeptical about whether he could make money by selling these side dishes.

“Can this make money?”

"Of course you can. It's not like you haven't eaten what I'm talking about before. Isn't it delicious?"

Song Yanzhi raised her eyebrows when she saw Han Heming questioning her.

Han Heming raised his head and looked thoughtful.

"good to eat."

Song Yanzhi's cooking skills were the best he had ever seen. The dishes she made were colorful, fragrant and delicious, and were not inferior to those of the chefs in the restaurant.

"Tomorrow, you and the children will stay at home while I go to Taohua Town to do business."

Crispy pickles cannot be made in a short time. Both of them need time to ferment. But braised mushrooms are different.

Fresh mushrooms, picked and cleaned, fried at high temperature, and sprinkled with her specially prepared secret spices, the fragrance can be smelled from afar."

Song Yanzhi chose Taohua Town instead of Lin'an City because she asked Qin Yu Niang to investigate who sent people to kill them, but Qin Yu Niang had not given her any news.

From the severe winter to spring, there has been no news for such a long time. Perhaps Qin Yunniang will not accept her commission.

"Excuse me, is this the Han family?"

As we were talking, a strange voice was heard at the door.

Song Yanzhi stood up and looked. She recognized the person. It was Shunzi, the waiter at Fulai Inn.

"Brother Shunzi, why are you here? Please come in, please come in."

Song Yanzhi was delighted. Was Shunzi here to deliver a message? It seemed she had misjudged Qin Yuniang. Qin Yuniang had accepted her commission, and it had taken so long to deliver the message to her. She was afraid that the news would be difficult to track down.

"Mrs. Han finally found you. I won't go in. This is a letter my boss asked me to deliver to you. She said that after you read the letter, you will understand what is going on."

Shunzi respectfully handed over a letter with only three words on it.

"Wang Miaomiao"

Wang Miaomiao?

She didn't know him, but she did know someone with the surname Wang, Wang Furen, a big landlord in Lishu Village. Judging from Wang Miaomiao's surname, she was probably related to Wang Furen.

"Thank you, Brother Shunzi. Please tell your boss's wife when you get home that I'll go visit her."

After saying that, she took out a few taels of silver and invited Shunzi to have tea.

If she wanted to know what the relationship between Wang Miaomiao and Wang Furen was, instead of asking around on her own, she might as well go to Lin'an City tomorrow to ask Qin Yu Niang and pay the balance to her at the same time.

Besides, if you want to do business, it is of course easier to do business in a county town than in a town.

"what happened?"

After seeing Shunzi off, Song Yanzhi turned back and Han Heming asked her.

"The person who robbed and killed you was sent by Wang Miaomiao."

Song Yanzhi did not hide anything and told Han Heming the news sent by Qin Yu Niang.

"Wang Miaomiao? Wang Furen's sister, is she blaming us for her brother's death? Is she seeking revenge for her brother?"

"you know?"

Han Heming rarely goes out on weekdays, so how could he know Wang Furen's interpersonal relationships so clearly?

"I heard it from Brother Moyu."

When Wang Furen came to their house to cause trouble that day, he happened to meet Yang Ge and Moyu who came to handle a case. Han Heming saw that they seemed to know each other, so he asked Moyu about it while they were handling the case.

Only then did I learn that Wang Furen's sister, Wang Miaomiao, was the county magistrate's concubine.

"How well do you know her?"

With such a time bomb around, their lives will definitely not be easy. If they want to live a good life, they must get rid of Wang Miaomiao.

"She is the county magistrate's concubine, and I heard she is extremely favored."

The reason why Wang Furen could be so arrogant and domineering and bully the people in the village was all due to his relationship with the county magistrate.

"They are officials, and we are civilians. If she wants to deal with us, she has plenty of ways to do it. We must deal with her."

"It's natural."

Han Heming nodded. This woman had already developed murderous intentions towards them. It was not something that could be achieved through reconciliation. Both sides would have to fight to the death.

"I won't be going to the town tomorrow. I'll go to the county seat. If Qin Yu Niang can send me some news, I'll ask her for the details and then we can discuss how to proceed."

"Wang Miaomiao should be keeping an eye on our family. It's probably not safe for you to go into the city alone."

Every time they entered the city, their household registration was checked. Wang Miaomiao was the county magistrate's concubine, so it was normal for her to arrange two people at the city gate to keep her informed.

"Don't worry, there's still a lot of that muscle softening powder left. I'll take it with me."

At that time, she got a lot of medicine from Senior Brother Ji Huwei. Apart from the time when she saved Han Heming, she still had several packets left, including muscle softening powder and poison.

"Then be careful."

Song Yanzhi went into the city alone. She didn't drive a carriage, but took a carriage from the village to the county town.

The journey to the county town is long, and each person has to pay five cents of silver per trip, and the goods are charged separately.

This price is neither cheap nor expensive, and can be considered reasonable.

The family driving the carriage was surnamed Lu. When Song Yanzhi arrived at Lu's house, there were already several people standing there chatting, all of whom were people who wanted to take a ride.

Several women saw her coming and greeted her warmly.

"Mrs. Han, are you coming to ride in the carriage too?"

There was some uncertainty in their voices. The Han family owned a carriage, so they shouldn't have come here to ride in a carriage.

"Yes, my husband went on patrol in the mountains two days ago and was injured by a big cat. He can't drive the carriage."

People here like to call tigers big cats. She said this after discussing it with Han Heming.
