Chapter 922

Although Chen Qiao didn't ask, it was obvious that Shen Yongda would not let go of this opportunity, so he asked before Chen Qiao could speak: "Why do you think about your lord in your heart, so you won't get sick?"

Hearing Shen Yongda's question, Li Gui finally realized what he just blurted out, and his face flushed red.

"Cao, Caomin mean, it's all thanks to General Chen's blessing—no, no, it's because..."

Although he really wanted to explain what he said just now, but Li Gui, whose head was already a mess, could only explain more and more confused now.

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Li Gui's face turned from red to purple to blue, and was about to turn pale, Chen Qiao had no choice but to interrupt Li Gui's bewilderment, and gave Shen Yongda another look by the way. , "There is no need to say these again."

"Yes..." Li Gui replied very dejectedly.

"Shen Yongda, don't talk any more!" Finally, seeing Li Gui's annoyed and disappointed look, Chen Qiao still yelled at Shen Yongda.

Knowing in his heart that this is not the time to joke, Shen Yongda fell silent and took two steps back.

"Are there any other people in your pawn shop who are sick?" Chen Qiao asked again.

Li Gui finally regained his composure. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Chen Qiao: "In the whole pawn shop, only the grass miner and another worker are not infected, and the rest are sick."

"Then where did they buy the food they ate?" Chen Qiao asked again.

"The other guys in the shop also buy rice grains at Wu Ji on weekdays, but because shopkeeper Li lowers the price every year when distributing relief grains, many people in the city bought Li grains in the past two months. Remember the food." Li Gui said while recalling.

It has to be said that Li Gui's words successfully exacerbated Chen Qiao's bad premonition, but he didn't say all of it. He glanced at Wang Yi, and Wang Yi turned around knowingly and walked out of the room.

"What is General Chen asking for?" Li Gui unconsciously asked.

"I can't tell you this yet." Chen Qiao responded with a smile.

After getting Chen Qiao's return, Li Gui showed annoyed look on his face again, and he explained to Chen Qiao anxiously and regretfully: "Yes, I'm sorry General Chen, Caomin, Caomin didn't want to inquire about something."

"I know," Chen Qiao had no choice but to appease Li Gui's emotions again, "I will give you and all the people in Shuozhou City an explanation after the matter is found out."

Obviously, Chen Qiao's words were very useful, because Li Gui didn't blurt out to ask Chen Qiao what he was investigating.

"Why didn't you go to Li Ji to buy food after Shopkeeper Li lowered the price?" Chen Qiao asked with a smile.

Li Gui obviously didn't expect Chen Qiao to ask such a question, because he suddenly lowered his head, scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "The daughter-in-law of Cao Min is going to have a baby..."

"Congratulations." Chen Qiao said with a smile.

"Thank you, General Chen!" Li Gui said excitedly.

After talking with Li Gui for a while, Chen Qiao asked Shen Yongda's family to send Li Gui away.

"My lord." After seeing off Li Gui and returning to the room, Shen Yongda's expression was not as relaxed as before, "If your lord is not mistaken, this time there is an epidemic of exhaustion in Shuozhou City, you should leave the shopkeeper Li. Don't care anymore."

Chen Qiao also nodded with a gloomy expression, but remembering the news about the disappearance of Shopkeeper Li's youngest son, Chen Qiao couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Let Wang Yi and Yan Huai investigate first, if Shopkeeper Li is really Coercion with a hand blade, then..."

Even though he said so, he killed a whole city for the sake of his son's life. Besides, long before Chen Qiao came to Shuozhou City, there were already countless people in Shuozhou City because they could not receive proper medical treatment. And died.

If shopkeeper Li really did this, no matter what his reasons are, Chen Qiao will not spare him because of this.

The most likely thing is to change his sentence from capital punishment to execution, which is Chen Qiao's biggest concession.

Just after noon, Wang Yi came back again. As soon as he entered the room, Chen Qiao saw that Wang Yi's expression was a little more serious than before he left.

"How is it?" Chen Qiao asked.

Hearing this, Wang Yi said, "If you're going back to your lord, there is indeed something strange about Shopkeeper Li's house."

"What's strange?" Chen Qiao asked again.

"The subordinate just sneaked into Li's mansion, but saw that many servants of Li's mansion suddenly showed symptoms of exhaustion, but it seems that the shopkeeper Li didn't want to treat those people, and even sent someone to lock them up. Get up to prevent outsiders from noticing the situation in the Li residence."

"Really?" Chen Qiao asked in surprise.

Wang Yi nodded with a slightly heavy expression, and then said: "However, my subordinates also went to investigate later, but found that those who were sick were all subordinates who entered Li's residence after September this year. People, even the other servants of the Li Mansion, don't seem to be familiar with them."

Although Wang Yi couldn't understand what was going on, there was one thing for sure.

"When my subordinates passed by, Li's residence was just open for dinner. Before those people fell ill, my subordinates heard them ask where the food they ate today came from."

"Then what did the other servants of Li's mansion say?" Chen Qiao continued to ask.

"Others only said that they still bought it from Wuji, and some of them who didn't seem to like those servants said that if they didn't want to eat Wuji's grain, they would go out and buy it themselves." Wang Yi replied.

Hearing this, Chen Qiao pondered for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "It seems that there are indeed some tricks in Li's residence."

After the sky gradually darkened, Yan Huai also brought people back.

"My lord's prediction is correct. All the sick people in the city did eat the food bought from Li Ji before the onset of the disease." Yan Huai said to Chen Qiao standing in the room.

Because the night in Shuozhou City was already very cold, Meng Zhiliang ordered people to put two braziers in Chen Qiao's house early on.

Right now, Chen Qiao was using iron tongs to fiddle with the burned charcoal fire in the basin. For a while, the only sound left in the room was the "cracking" sound of burning charcoal fire.

After a long time, Chen Qiao threw down the iron pliers, looked at Yan Huai and said, "If that's the case, then why didn't all those people get sick? Could it be that they bought it from Li Ji and Wu Ji respectively?" Grain, eat the good food bought from Li Ji, but feed the poor food bought from Wu Ji to others in the family?"

As soon as this question came out, the other three people in the room couldn't help but fell silent.

"It seems that I have to go to Li's Mansion tonight." After finishing speaking, Chen Qiao stood up from his seat, glanced at the other three people standing in the room one by one, and finally said: "Shen Yongda and Wang Xiaofei Yi came with me, Yan Huai has been busy all day today, let's go back and rest first."

"Yes."

The three responded in unison.

Afterwards, seeing that the sky was completely dark, Chen Qiao took Shen Yongda, Wang Yi, and five hundred Black Dragon Army soldiers all the way towards Li's mansion.

After watching Chen Qiao and the others leave, Yan Huai rubbed his stiff neck, turned around and walked towards his residence.
