Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

One side took the powder obtained in the morning for verification, while several people on the other side went to keep an eye on it.

Perhaps because the case had been investigated for a long time and had not been solved thoroughly, Xu Du was not afraid of being discovered. He just looked around and went on his way. The people from the Dali Temple were watching him on the roofs in different directions, but he was not discovered.

Just like last time, the route was almost exactly the same. I took the medicine powder when I went in and exchanged it for silver bills when I came out.

There were a lot more people watching this time, and they were actually just blocking the view, which wasn't really a very sophisticated technique.

As soon as he threw it in, people from the Dali Temple entered the store and controlled everyone.

If this was not controlled, you wouldn't know that the people who were finally brought out included more than ten maids and nannies who followed Madam Gu in the Gu Mansion. Gu Qingyun had people stuff strips of cloth into their mouths to prevent them from colluding with each other.

They also took an arrest warrant to the Gu Mansion and summoned Mr. Gu and Madam Gu.

I confessed everything after just two sips of soup in the afternoon.

At the beginning, Mrs. Gu cried and said that she didn't do it. Mr. Gu knelt down and asked Mrs. Gu to tell the truth. The scene was very weird. Mrs. Gu kept inhaling and fainted in the middle.

I saw that Old Master just gently pulled her and said, "If you don't say it yourself, then I will say it."

Mrs. Gu's eyelids fluttered again, she got up and continued crying.

The group of people seemed to be performing a big opera, one person sang after another. Gu Qingyun was really helpless, so he went to have lunch.

Unexpectedly, after just two bites, the couple started fighting again in the hall, exposing each other's secrets. Gu Qingyun had no choice but to put down his bowl and chopsticks and go back to the hall.

"This vicious woman is so jealous that it's scary!!! She has killed countless women before, but I didn't make the connection because some died of illness and some disappeared. She was busy with medicine and incense at home every day and didn't care about housework, so I didn't care about her. Who knew she would become more and more crazy and even reach out to the Qin Mansion."

"I'm jealous? I'm vicious? Gu Renping, do you have a heart? How many years have I been married to your family? You want to take a concubine one moment, and then go to a brothel the next. I'm pregnant and not feeling well, but you don't care about me at all. You've only been to the Qin Mansion a few times, and when you come back you want to marry Miss Qin as your co-wife, and I'm still pregnant with your child!"

"Having children and having children is what you should do. You are so jealous. What kind of person is this? The Qin family is a noble family. Although no one is an official in the court, they are also local gentry. If they don't marry a concubine, do they want to marry their legitimate daughter as a concubine? You are out of your mind. Miss Qin is kind and she is the legitimate daughter of the Qin family. There are only benefits to marrying her, not harm."

"Gu Renping, why don't you just die! For so many years, every time I got pregnant, you would find all kinds of ways to bring a woman back home... After causing my miscarriage, your vicious mother said that I was not clean before I married you, and that I had miscarriages every time, and that I was a chicken that didn't lay eggs. My father is not an ordinary man either. Don't you know how much benefit I have brought to your family? You are such a heartless thing!"

"I have no conscience? How can a man live with only one person until old age? It's just taking a concubine, why did you kill so many people?"

"Hahahahahahahaha, you have no problem with me killing someone? Well, if that's the case, then let's be rough with each other."

Madam Gu crawled forward a few steps, knelt heavily on the ground, and spoke.

“I did kill the eldest and third daughters of the Qin family, and drugged the Qin family.

Just because I got pregnant with great difficulty and the diagnosis was made, Gu Renping said that he wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Qin family as his second wife. The previous beauties were at most concubines. I just gave them some money to get rid of them, or sent them away, and no lives were harmed.

This time, he mentioned it again and again, and I refused harshly. He even slept in Qin's house and refused to go home. I was so angry and had another miscarriage, so I had the idea of ​​killing him.

My family has been making incense for generations, and I know a little about incense and pharmacology, so I made two patches of medicine based on two prescriptions in a banned book I saw when I was young. One patch can make people's minds go haywire, and the other can kill people without them being seen. The symptoms are similar, and it's hard to tell the difference unless you see the powder."

Madam Gu looked at Gu Qingyun and spoke earnestly, "At this point, I have nothing to hide. I will accept death or torture. However, I will sue Gu Renping and his cousin Jia Manyi for assaulting Miss Zhou Yu of the Zhou family."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You evil woman, if you have killed someone, just admit it, but why are you accusing me and my cousin of this?" Mr. Gu didn't bother to look at the expressions of the people around him, he went up and kicked Mrs. Gu who was kneeling on the ground.

Mrs. Gu, who already looked frail, now looked even more pale. She fell to the ground in a daze, as if she had lost consciousness.

Several clerks stepped forward and held down Master Gu, forcing him to kneel down obediently. Master Gu then regained some consciousness, "It's all because of this vicious woman's nonsense that made me lose my mind. Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this. Master Shaoqing is very insightful."

Gu Qingyun didn't look at him, but just raised his head slightly to look at Madam Gu. Madam Gu smiled again, "How could I be so reckless? That day, the two of them used my poison to make Miss Zhou lose her mind, and then they broke into Miss Zhou's courtyard in the middle of the night.

The next day, many maids saw them coming out of Miss Zhou's courtyard. Two of Miss Qin's maids also saw them. Wasn't one of them imprisoned in the backyard of the Dali Temple? And my spy, Cook Li, whose husband had been helping me since he came out of the Qin Mansion, also saw them.

The cook even sneaked in and saw the beauty in the room, then came to me and exchanged a large sum of money.

I originally wanted to kill Miss Zhou as well, but who knew that Miss Zhou became so crazy that she turned our house into an iron barrel, so I had no choice but to let her go for now.

But my powder is meant to aid pregnancy. I'm afraid Miss Zhou is less than two months pregnant now. You can go and take her pulse now.

This Miss Zhou is a virgin. The baby in her belly is either Gu Renping's or Jia Manyi's. Now that her father cares so much about his reputation, I guess he will marry Miss Zhou in the end, and these two beasts can escape the crime.

However, Miss Zhou is probably willing to cooperate, so Lord Shaoqing can just give it a try."

Gu Qingyun rubbed his aching temple and asked Xinhai to call for help.

Not long after, Xinhai brought back only a suicide note and a corpse, two lives lost in one corpse. The suicide note described what happened that day clearly, and Miss Zhou died to prove her will. With both witnesses and evidence, in the end, none of the people involved in the case escaped legal punishment.

The two masters spent most of their family fortune on donations, but ended up being punished by having their three generations be unable to take the imperial examinations and being exiled to the frontier and not allowed to return to Kyoto.

Madam Gu and Cook Li were sentenced to death, but Madam Gu died in prison the day after her sentencing. Outside, the grass and trees were falling, like snow in June, which was a cause for sigh.

All the dry food stores and Western merchants in Kyoto Prefecture were reorganized, and the Qin Mansion also hid in silence in Kyoto Prefecture.

This case, which lasted for more than two months, finally came to an end. One can only sigh that it was an unexpected disaster, snowing in June.
