Great Wei scholar

"There is no evil in the rest of the place."

"The place to start is not here."

"It's in front."

Xu Qingxiao thought to himself, there was nothing unusual in the tea shop except that the herbal tea in the vat was poisonous.

And this is not some kind of poison, it should be a kind of secret technique, which has something to do with evil spirits.

As for the toxicity of drinking this herbal tea, Xu Qingxiao didn't know.

But probably know some information.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao walked out of the tea shop, and nodded to the two brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu to reassure them.

Indeed, after seeing Xu Qingxiao appear, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could ask anything, Xu Qingxiao came into the compartment, took out two water bags, and returned to fill them with herbal tea.

After filling the two water bags, Xu Qingxiao walked out again.

"Brother, wake him up."

Xu Qingxiao yelled, Yang Bao nodded, and shook the old man a little.

The latter closed his eyes and was still in a coma.

But Xu Qingxiao could tell that the old man was pretending to be dead.

"If you don't wake up, you'll kill him, and then find a place to bury him, and go back to the mansion to ask for credit, and the two elder brothers must credit me for the credit."

Xu Qingxiao spoke and said with a smile.

After saying this, the two brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu were a little confused. How dare they do such a thing? It was a serious crime before, let alone now.

Just the next moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, knelt on the ground and cried.

"My lords, my lords, I was really wronged. I'm just an honest tea seller."

"There must be a misunderstanding here. If I were poisoned, I would have to die. I will never have children and grandchildren. Sir, you must learn from it."

The old man was really flustered. He had no idea that something like this would happen when he gave away two bowls of herbal tea.

Blame myself, too worldly.

"Shopkeeper, I know you haven't poisoned me, and you don't have the courage."

"I'll ask you a few things. If you speak well, you may even get some silver rewards."

Xu Qingxiao came to the old man, patted his shoulder and said.

"My lord's lesson, my lord's lesson."

Hearing what Xu Qingxiao said, the owner of the tea shop became even more excited.

"Okay, calm down first, and listen to me."

Xu Qingxiao's expression became serious.

"When did you brew this herbal tea?"

"Who has been to your shop?"

Xu Qingxiao asked with a serious expression. This kind of calm cross-examination made the eyes of brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu brighten.

Those who didn't know thought Xu Qingxiao was the policeman.

But think about it, Xu Qingxiao seemed to be a government servant before, so he could accept it.

"My lord, there are three pots of herbal tea in the shop, all of which were brewed three days ago. Generally, tea is boiled for one day, loose tea for one day, and herbal tea for one day."

"As for who has been to my shop, my lord, I haven't done any business since the announcement the day before yesterday. There were a lot of people who came the day before yesterday. If you have to say who has entered the shop, I...I...I really can't remember. Woke up."

The old man said with a sad face.

What he said was not lying, Xu Qingxiao could tell that it was reasonable.

After all, how many people can remember what happened three days ago?The kind of passer-by with a superb memory that appears in TV dramas every now and then is all fake.

Don't talk about the store, just pull an ordinary person over and ask what you were doing three days ago, how many can you remember?

Impossible to remember unless you go to a dragon.

"Three days ago."

Xu Qingxiao thought about it, and soon he continued to ask.

"Then let me ask you, have you sold a lot of herbal tea in the past two days?"

"Or, did any of us come here for tea before?"

Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.

The old man thought for a while, and then answered.

"There were some people yesterday, but not many, less than ten people, and today there are only a few adults of yours."

The old man replied.

"Just us?"

Xu Qingxiao frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Brother Qingxiao, what's the problem?"

Seeing Xu Qingxiao frowning, Yang Bao couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing."

"Okay, shopkeeper, I was a little disturbed just now, but there is a reason for it, please forgive me, if there is something good later, the mansion will send someone to reward you."

Xu Qingxiao smiled, helped the old man up, and gave Yang Bao and Yang Hu a wink, and the latter put away the blade immediately.

"It's okay, it's okay, the old man doesn't care about rewards or anything, as long as the murderer can be caught and brought to justice earlier, it will be a good thing."

As if it was the rest of his life after a catastrophe, how could the old man care about whether to reward silver or not.

"Brothers, I trouble you two to pour out the tea in the jar, so that nothing will happen."

Xu Qingxiao made a sound.

"Row."

The two nodded and walked into the tea shop without saying anything.

Bang!Bang!

Two sounds of smashing tanks sounded, Xu Qingxiao was a little stunned, should I be so direct?Just pour it out.

Soon, the two brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu came out with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Qingxiao, is there anything else to do?"

The two asked Xu Qingxiao.

And Xu Qingxiao smiled wryly, took out a bit of broken silver from the money bag, put it in front of the old man and said: "Shopkeeper, this is a kindness, you take it well."

Putting the silver on the table, the old man quickly waved his hands and said, "Where is it, how much is the water tank worth, you don't need it, you don't need it."

The old man said with a look of trepidation.

Xu Qingxiao did not take the broken silver returned by the old man, but looked at Yang Bao and Yang Hu as brothers.

"Brothers, it's getting late, let's go."

As the voice sounded, the two nodded and returned to the car together.

Under the watchful eyes of the old man, he gradually left.

A quarter of an hour later.

on the official road.

Chen Xinghe's voice sounded.

"Qingxiao, next time you encounter something like this, don't be impulsive and risky. Although you have some skills, you can only deal with thieves. If you encounter evil spirits, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"I don't want to show off, senior brother is going to enter the rank soon, if there are any monsters and evil spirits appearing, he will be afraid of me instead, so you must remember it next time, you know?"

Chen Xinghe spoke, and his words not only accused Xu Qingxiao of being impulsive and reckless, but also cared and taught him.

"Thank you brother for your guidance, I was a little confused just now."

Xu Qingxiao smiled wryly.

Zhou Ling didn't allow himself to talk about his quality, so Xu Qingxiao didn't talk about his level of Confucianism or Taoism, which made Chen Xinghe think that he was just an ordinary scholar.

But Xu Qingxiao didn't prove anything, he knew that the other party cared about him.

The brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu couldn't help but speak.

"Brother Qingxiao, how did you know there is poison in the tea?"

"Yeah, we both couldn't see it after looking at it for a long time, how did you see it?"

The two were curious. They drank the tea well, but Xu Qingxiao suddenly said that there was a problem with the tea, which scared them both into shock.

"Oh, when I was young, I learned some medical skills and knew a little bit about poisons. Herbal tea is cold in nature and tastes sweet, but it smells like a bitter medicine. I just smelled it just now and found it a bit pungent, and I was a little vigilant. So it is concluded that there is something wrong with the tea."

Xu Qingxiao made up a random reason.

It is impossible for him to say that he is a product, so you can see it?

As soon as Yang Bao and Yang Hu showed surprise when he said this, Chen Xinghe couldn't help but nodded.

It's not that I really understand it, but it sounds very powerful, and Xu Qingxiao is also very serious when he speaks, which makes people unbelievable.

"The poison in the tea water proves that the thief wants to seek money and kill him. However, according to what the old man said, the poison in the tea should not cause people to be poisoned immediately, but has a delayed effect."

"In other words, this guy should be somewhere, waiting for us to take the bait, brother Qingxiao, shall we play a game of lure snakes out of the hole? Pretend to be poisoned, lure them out, and capture this thief alive?"

Yang Bao's thinking is still relatively active, and he has judged some possibilities through this information, and wants to use this opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole.

"Do not."

Xu Qingxiao immediately shook her head and directly rejected Yang Bao's idea.

"We are not that strong. Although we have entered the ranks, the opponent is hiding and we are showing. If the opponent's strength is not as good as ours, then it's okay to say, but if the opponent is simply more cautious, then we are the unlucky ones."

"There's no need to take any risks. The two elder brothers only need to report this matter to the government, and the government will naturally send people to investigate. Although we are not the main creditor, the credit for providing clues is not bad."

Xu Qingxiao analyzed it seriously.

Yes, if you can lead the snake out of the hole and catch the thief, it will be a credit.

But the question is, do you have that strength?

What if the judgment is wrong?

There is only one life, and it is not enough to be careless. It is a good thing to want credit, but you have to have a life.

Xu Qingxiao's words awakened the two brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu.

"Brother Qingxiao thought carefully, I was reckless."

Yang Bao nodded, looking a little ashamed.

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter. We will drive normally later, neither fast nor full. The two old brothers are as usual, laugh when you need to, louder when you need to, and everything will be fine as usual."

Xu Qingxiao doesn't think she is very smart, but just cautious.

"Row."

The two nodded.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. I have filled this water bag with problematic herbal tea. I will go back to the government office and hand it in. I will get back the money for smashing the vat. Public is public, private is private."

"But no matter what, the officials are sent to do things, don't let the people pay the bills."

Xu Qingxiao said calmly.

As soon as he said this, Chen Xinghe inside the car was slightly taken aback, and the two brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu outside couldn't help being also taken aback.

But no one spoke.

Yang Bao directly took out the broken silver and returned it to Xu Qingxiao.

"Brother Qingxiao reminded you well."

Yang Bao thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time developed great admiration for Xu Qingxiao.
