The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Yao's house.

A white curtain was hung in the mourning hall, and offerings, incense and candles were placed in front of the altar.

Qing He stood in front of her brother's spirit in plain clothes. She felt dizzy and her eyes were red and swollen, but she refused to go back to rest.

The maids Xia'er and Yun'er came up to persuade her, "Young Madam, you should go back and rest. You have been guarding for a whole day. Your body must be exhausted..."

Qinghe shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: "No, Chengzu will be scared lying here alone, I want to stay here with him... Besides, he died in such an unclear way, maybe he has something to say to me before he leaves..."

Seeing that she could not persuade him any more, the maid had no choice but to stay by the side.

At this time, a gust of night wind blew in from outside the door, lighting up the embers in the brazier, and instantly "whoosh" ignited a few pieces of unburned paper money, scaring everyone. They all felt a burst of flesh-penetrating and bone-breaking cold air rushing towards them, and they all advised: "Madam, it's windy in the mourning hall, you should go back and rest, we will take turns guarding here."

Qing He felt dizzy, and hurriedly stood up while panting, holding Xia Er's hand. When she came to her brother's coffin, she suddenly found that Cheng Zu's left hand seemed to be a little bit wrong...

His fingers were tightly curled up, as if he was hiding something in his palms...

Qing He thought it was caused by dizziness, so she took another careful look and found that it was indeed the case!

She thought to herself, "Could it be that Chengzu hid something in his hand before he left..."

She bravely tried to pry open her brother's hand, but when she opened it, there was nothing... No, there were three words written in sauce on the palm of his hand!

Although the handwriting was crooked and looked a little blurry, Qinghe carefully identified it and found that it seemed to be the three words "big-headed fish"!

Qing He secretly pondered in her heart: "Could it be that my brother's death is related to these three words?

After the coroner came to check during the day, he found that Yao Chengzu was poisoned by a Western flower called Polo Gold Flower. After taking it, he would see stars, have hallucinations, and his hands and feet would twitch and spasm. He would feel severe pain in his internal organs, and finally his forehead would turn black and he would die.

However, this kind of poison is rare, and its extraction and processing is also very troublesome. There are not many people in the capital who grow flowers and plants from the Western Regions. There are a total of three people, namely Liu Mazi, the owner of the Xie Street pharmacy, Doctor Su, a genius doctor, and the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who also has a garden dedicated to growing various exotic flowers and plants.

Qing He wondered if there was a bighead carp in the meal that day, and the murderer had poisoned the meal, so his brother dipped the poison into the sauce and wrote these three words? Or was there something to do with the bighead carp?

After experiencing excessive shock and sadness, Qing He, who had not eaten or drunk anything for a day, finally couldn't hold on and fainted...

The next day.

When Qinghe woke up again, she vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone sitting beside the bed.

She slowly opened her eyes and found that it was Jiang Yaonian.

She asked hoarsely, "Any clues?"

Jiang Yaonian gently stroked her pale face and said softly, "Don't think about these things for now. It's important to take care of your health first. I'll take care of everything."

Qing He burst into tears again after hearing this, and choked up, "But I won't be able to rest in peace until the truth about my brother is revealed. As soon as I close my eyes, I'll think of his appearance..."

Jiang Yaonian hesitated for a moment and then said, "It has been found out that the person who delivered the meal that day was an imposter. It is not clear who sent him, but I heard that it was a fishmonger nicknamed Bighead Fish..."

Qing He immediately exclaimed: "Bighead fish?"

Jiang Yaonian looked at her and asked, "Do you know him?"

Qing He anxiously grabbed his hand and said, "My brother wrote this name on his palm before he died. It seems that the person who killed him was this fishmonger named Datouyu! Let's report to the police quickly, arrest him and interrogate him. We will definitely know who sent him!"

Jiang Yaonian patted her shoulder gently and said, "Leave it to me. You should have a good rest for the next two days. I'll tell you when I find some clues."

Qing He grabbed his hand and put it on her face, and whispered: "Well, we must catch the murderer and avenge my brother..."

"Well, you should have a good rest first. I'll go out for a while now." Jiang Yaonian stood up and left the villa.

He came to the second gate and got on the carriage, "Let's go to Meng's house."

"Yes."

The carriage arrived at the gate of the Meng Mansion. The guard went forward and knocked on the door. A butler came out and led Jiang Yaonian in.

After arriving at the living room, Meng Jifei first politely asked him to sit down and asked the servant to serve tea.

After a while, he frowned and said in embarrassment: "Mr. Jiang, the whereabouts of the person you asked me to find out has been found, but things may be difficult to handle..."

Jiang Yaonian looked at him without saying anything.

Meng Jifei said slowly: "According to my men, this fishmonger used to work as a handyman in the kitchen of Prince Jing's Mansion, but was later kicked out for some reason. He now makes a living by delivering fish to Dongchang Tower, and he has been hiding there recently and dares not show up..."

Jiang Yaonian was silent for a while and then said coldly: "Killing someone means paying with your life. I want you to get him out and hand him over to me!"

"But, doing so might cause some trouble... Since Dongchanglou dares to protect him, it means that they are definitely related to this matter. What if Concubine Jia is implicated..."

Jiang Yaonian stood up and said in a very cold tone: "No matter who is involved in this matter, the murderer must pay with his life!"

Meng Jifei stared at him for a moment and said softly, "Okay, in that case, I'll send someone to arrest him right away and send him to your house."

"No, just interrogate them directly! Tell me the results after you get them."

Meng Jifei sighed softly, walked out the door, called his confidant and told him: "Take people to Dongchang Tower, arrest the fishmonger and send him to the prison, and then let Mu Jinliang interrogate him to find out who was behind the poisoning."

"Yes!"

……

Inside Dongchang Building, a waiter was greeting customers at the door when suddenly a group of shadow guards in plain clothes rushed in, grabbed him and asked, "Where is the shopkeeper?"

The waiter was so frightened that he stammered, "In... in the back..."

"Take us there!"

The waiter was forced to lead the group of people to the back hall, pointed to a closed door and said, "It's inside..."

One of the Shadow Guards carried him to the door and whispered, "Open the door!"

The waiter had no choice but to reach out and knock on the door, saying in a trembling voice: "Boss, someone... someone wants to see you..."

A voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"You'll find out once you open the door."

After a while, the door opened and a short, fat middle-aged man appeared, frowning and asking, "Who..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, several Shadow Guards rushed in, restrained him, and asked, "Where is the fishmonger named Bighead Fish?"
