Qin Ruo didn't say anything. The death of Zhao Dalai was not caused by the two men who suddenly appeared that day.

It can be said that there is truly no evidence to prove the truth.

She didn't know how much the two men had seen, but since there had been no movement in the past few days, she let the matter go.

Even if those two unknown persons came out to testify against her, she had her own way of escaping and there was no need to worry.

The man that Qin Ruo thought of was now sitting in the study of Xie Mansion in Taihe County, staring at a hundred-year-old ginseng placed in front of him.

On his way back that day, Butler Ren checked the items that Qin Ruo asked him to hand over to the old lady.

When he opened the inconspicuous cloth bag, his hands shook several times.

Originally, Butler Ren thought that what Qin Ruo asked him to pass on to the old lady should not be something valuable.

So according to the usual practice, I checked it first and then prepared to present it to the old lady.

When he opened the cloth bag and saw the plump white ginseng with intact beard lying inside, weighing three or two taels, his expression was indescribable.

Ginseng was relatively scarce during the Great Sheng Dynasty, and ginseng that was hundreds of years old was hard to come by.

Not to mention the dignitaries in the capital, even in Taihe County, even ginseng that is several decades old can be sold for 100 taels of silver.

It is rare to find a ginseng that is hundreds of years old and still in such good condition.

There is also ginseng in the Xie Mansion, but it is all of younger age.

With this calculation, the ten taels of silver that Madam Xie asked him to put in the interlayer of the food box could not be compared with Qin Ruo's return gift.

Mrs. Xie was also surprised when she got the ginseng.

The reason why she asked Butler Qin to quietly put the ten taels of silver into the food box was not because of any reward.

I just felt that I had a good relationship with Qin Ruo and felt sympathy for her situation.

Considering Qin Ruo's clothes, slightly thin body and complexion, it was not difficult for Old Lady Xie to guess that this little girl was not having a good life.

Ten taels of silver is just a small sum for the Xie family.

Even a decent piece of clothing would cost at least ten or eight taels.

She had only done a small favor, but the other party gave her such a generous gift in return, which surprised Mrs. Xie.

The girl seemed to be returning a favor.

That night, Mrs. Xie had a good sleep for the first time since the beginning of winter.

After waking up, when Nanny Zhang helped her to get up, she was still muttering that Qin Ruo's little trick was really effective.

Cang Jiu, who was sent by Si Heng to inquire about the news, has not returned yet. No one knows what he is thinking about the ginseng sent by Qin Ruo.

The next day, he found an excuse to "borrow" the ginseng from Old Madam Xie.

Si Heng's expression was unclear at this time. The old lady had injured her body in her early years, and therefore had a chronic illness.

He went to Tuofeng Mountain that day just to look for an important medicinal ingredient for the old lady.

Qin Ruo now made him have an idea in his mind that even he found absurd.

That girl might have something that he wants.

But Cang Jiu hasn't come back yet, and he is still waiting for the results of Cang Jiu's investigation.

Si Heng sat in front of the ginseng for several hours.

In Changhe Village, it was already dusk.

Qin Zimu has returned, his little face pale with fear, and Zhou Dazhui also came back with him.

Zhou Dazhui came back specially to send Qin Zimu back. After meeting Old Lady Qin and Qin Ruo, he briefly described what happened next.

When Captain Yu led a dozen detectives to Changhe Village, it was already Shenshi (3 to 5 p.m.).

After Captain Yu arrived, he led his men straight to the back mountain.

Most of the villagers followed and entered Tuofeng Mountain together.

Originally, he thought that the constables would have to work hard to find the people, but as soon as Captain Yu and his group arrived at the pond, they found the father and son of the Wang family.

The father and son of the Wang family were lying on the path beside the pond.

They had become two broken corpses that had been eaten by wild wolves.

The surroundings were covered with bloodstains and messy animal footprints.

While Zhou Dazhu was describing the situation, Qin Zimu ran outside the yard and started vomiting.

"Sister A Ruo, Captain Yu said that Lao Er and Wang Fugui must have happened to find a wolf den and caught the wolf cubs, and were chased there by the wolves in revenge and died."

"There are still a few dead wolf cubs at the scene..."

"Also, Zhao Dalai should have met with an accident."

After talking with Qin Ruo, Old Lady Qin concealed her emotions.

At this time, Zhou Dazhu mentioned Zhao Dalai, and Old Lady Qin's heart was in turmoil.

Old Lady Qin didn't care about the life or death of the Wang father and son. She was more worried about Zhao Dalai.

After Zhou Dazhu took a breath, he continued speaking.

"Before Captain Yu led his men into the mountains, Zhu cried to him and told him that her son was also lost in the mountains, and asked him to find him for her. Later, Captain Yu led his men up the mountain. In the woods not far from the mountain, they found a shoe with blood stains and several pieces of torn cloth."

"Ms. Zhu recognized that it was Zhao Dalai's stuff. According to Captain Yu's inference, Zhao Dalai must have met a wolf in the mountains and was eaten by the wolf..."

Zhou Dazhu also said that when Zhu learned that Zhao Dalai was gone, she suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason.

He testified to Captain Yu about a series of crimes committed by Wang Lizheng's family.

It seemed to vaguely mention the inside story of the Wu family, in which several members of the family died suddenly one after another.

Li Chuncao's parents also went to the county government office, saying they wanted to sue Zhu and Wang Lizheng.

"Anyway, Li Zheng Wang and Zhu have both been taken away by Captain Yu..."

"By the way, Captain Yu asked me to tell you not to go up the mountain for the next few days. Wait until the county government finalizes the encirclement and suppression plan and organizes the manpower, and then I will notify you separately."

After Zhou Dazhu finished speaking, he left.

Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Qin Ruo not to go up the mountain in the next few days, and to remember to close the doors and windows at night and not to go out.

After Qin Zimu finished vomiting, his little face was still too pale.

At this moment, he regretted deeply. He should never have followed people to the back mountain out of curiosity.

You shouldn't have had to go forward and take a look at the bodies of Wang Laoer and his son.

The scene of blood, flesh, brains and intestines all over the floor made Qin Zimu vomit every time he thought of it.

The dinner was made by Old Lady Qin, and she sold the two-cent water tofu at the entrance of the village.

Qin Zimu looked at the white tofu, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and rushed out of the house and vomited non-stop.

This caused Old Lady Qin to scold her violently.

When Qin Zimu returned to the dining table after vomiting, it was Old Lady Qin's turn to rush out.

Recalling the description in Zhou Dazhu's words and seeing Qin Zimu's appearance, Old Lady Qin felt her stomach churning.

Clearly in front of her was a bowl of fragrant rice and a plate of tender and smooth tofu.

Tonight, apart from finishing the bowl of rice, she couldn't even put her chopsticks into the dish of tofu.

Among the people at the table, only Qin Ruo ate as if nothing had happened and enjoyed the meal very much.
