Chapter 45 Banquet (please follow up!)

"We have to find a way to prepare the medicine." Chu Zheng touched the pill in his arms and thought to himself.

He obtained a total of two elixir recipes in the Wild Wolf Forest dungeon.

One is Dali Pill and the other is Zeng Yuan Dan.

Dali Wan is better. Most of the ingredients needed in it are familiar medicinal materials.

The most expensive one is the medicinal material Baishi.

But Daliwan does not require much white stone. One tael of white stone can be used to make 100 Daliwan.

Therefore, the whole thing is still compatible.

The Zengyuan Pill is obviously much more complicated, requiring more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials. In addition to some medicinal materials that sound very expensive, there are also some medicinal materials that Chu Zheng has never heard of.

Moreover, Chu Zheng felt that the Zengyuan Pill seemed to have an evil nature.

Before the old man died, this thing did not become an elixir at all. After the old man died, it quickly became an elixir.

It is not an exaggeration to say that something is an evil elixir.

Chu Zheng wouldn't want to refine this kind of elixir if it wasn't necessary.

Because if you don't do it well, you will most likely be hunted down by some righteous sects.

"But before that, let's think about how to make money." Chu Zheng looked at the sky and saw that it was already early in the morning, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Immediately, he entered the room and took off his clothes to sleep.

He already has some ideas about how to make money, and is ready to try selling books.

However, there is no need to rush this matter, so I have been working on character outlines recently.

Three days later.

Chu Zheng got up very early. After getting up, he had breakfast outside and practiced swordplay in the courtyard.

Two little ones, Ma Niuer and Ma Xiang, stared at it intently.

"Sister, do you think Uncle Chu's swordsmanship can lead to immortality?" Ma Xiang looked at Chu Zheng's swordsmanship and asked Ma Niuer curiously.

"You're stupid." Ma Niu'er rolled her eyes, "If you want to live forever, you have to go to the old gods. You have to be like the Monkey King and build a bamboo raft and go to the sea."

"Oh." Ma Xiang suddenly realized, "When I grow up, I will take a bamboo raft to the sea to find the old god."

"I just want to find Huaguo Mountain. There are so many delicious foods there..." Ma Niuer swallowed her saliva and said.

When Ma Xiang heard Ma Niu'er's words, his mouth began to drool.

"Dong dong dong..."

While the two children were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Zheng frowned slightly and put away the iron piece.

In the early hours of this morning, Ma Yong had already left the city to chop wood.

Yu Rong and Chu Qingqing also went to the tailor shop.

Time has only passed now, and it is impossible for them to come back so soon.

Therefore, Chu Zheng couldn't think of who was knocking on the door outside.

Thinking of this, he walked to the door carrying the iron piece wrapped in a coarse cloth strip, and asked outside, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Xu Rong." A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the sound, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

As the door opened, Xu Rong, wearing a red headhunter's uniform, stood at the door.

"How's it going? You're getting used to it," Xu Rong asked with a smile.

"Thank you to Brother Xu, we live well." Chu Zheng said gratefully.

If Xu Rong hadn't rented this house to them, they would probably still be living in poverty now.

"As long as you live well. You can live in this house as you like, and I will never change the rent for you." Xu Rong nodded, then thought of something again, and said: "By the way, we have closed yesterday's case.

, I plan to treat you to a meal at Jixiang Building today as a thank you."

Chu Zheng was slightly stunned, shook his head and said: "Forget it, Brother Xu, you have helped me enough. There is no need to be so extravagant."

"It's okay, just have a good time as friends." Xu Rong smiled, patted Chu Zheng on the shoulder, and started to pull Chu Zheng away.

"Wait a minute." Chu Zheng shook his head, "I'll take Brother Mayong's two children with me. They are not safe at home. And I also have to talk to the neighbors."

"Okay." Xu Rong nodded.

Immediately, Chu Zheng entered the room, put down the iron piece, and brought Ma Niuer and Ma Xiang out.

Afterwards, he said hello to the nearby neighbors and went out with Xu Rong.

Not long after, they arrived at Jixiang Tower.

Jixianglou is a relatively large restaurant in the south of the city. I heard that its owner came from the imperial dining room. The food in the restaurant can be said to be excellent.

After arriving at Jixiang Tower, Chu Zheng saw Zhu Dingwu, Ma Hengyuan and Yan Fang.

In addition, there are a few new faces.

They are all spies.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Chu Zheng, who came from Qingchuan. He helped solve the groom case a few days ago." Xu Rong led Chu Zheng forward and introduced everyone with a smile.

"I didn't expect Brother Chu to be so young." Someone sighed.

"I heard before that the arrester said that Chu Zheng could only tie his hair. I didn't believe it, but now I believe it." Another person said.

"Oh, I can't lie to you." Xu Rong laughed and cursed, and then said to Chu Zheng: "Brother Chu, don't see anyone else, just sit down. The people here are all our brothers."

"Okay, I would like to thank Xu Captou and everyone for their hospitality this time." Chu Zheng bowed his hands to everyone and took Ma Xiang and Ma Niu'er to their seats.

"Don't look outside, don't look outside. If it hadn't been for you, little brother Chu, we wouldn't have been praised by the adults above." Yan Fang said with a smile.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Brother Chu, just sit back and relax. You will be my brother from now on. You can tell me Li Er's name when you go out."

"You're welcome."

"..."

Everyone said one after another.

After taking their seats, everyone started chatting, and soon they started talking about the case from the previous day.

"That woman is really a poisonous woman." One person sighed.

"Who says it's not the case?" Zhu Dingwu's face turned blue when he thought of the meat in the jar yesterday, and he said bitterly: "This bride and her mother are both poisonous women. Then Mrs. Wang and Zhang actually gave birth to

Zhang Xiaoxiao got involved with that member Li, he should be cut to pieces..."

Everyone had a heated discussion about yesterday's case.

Chu was standing by and listened with great interest.

As a mystery fan, he also likes the stories behind the reasoning very much.

Just like a mystery game, a game with only reasoning and no background story will inevitably appear boring.

After listening for a while, Chu Zheng understood the whole story clearly.

It turns out that the groom and the bride entered into a marriage contract three years ago, but because the groom was relatively poor, he never proposed marriage in person.

Until some time ago, the groom unexpectedly made a fortune and had some savings, so he came to propose marriage.

However, he never thought that before the engagement, the bride had already had an affair with Li Yuanwai, a member of the Li family in the city, through the help of her mother.

In order to facilitate private meetings, Mr. Li even bought a courtyard near the bride's house.

When the groom wanted to consummate the marriage, Li Yuanwai and Wang and Zhang's mother and daughter were a little panicked, fearing that the matter would be exposed.

So Yuan Li did not stop doing anything, and directly hired a good-tempered murderer to hide under the bed on the wedding night.

When the groom came in and got close to the bride drunkenly, the murderer came out from under the bed and covered the groom to death.

That night, the murderer and the bride used knives to dismember the groom and stuffed him into the jar that had been prepared.

After burying the groom's body, the murderer dressed in the groom's clothes, pretended to be crazy, ran out of the house, and jumped into the river.

As for the corpse, it was a refugee who had been killed long ago.

This matter can almost be said to be flawless.

On the surface, it is a story about a groom who went crazy during his bridal chamber and then committed suicide by jumping into a river.

Except for the fact that the groom is crazy, which is a bit suspicious, without knowing some inside information and without other clues, it is completely logical and self-consistent.

In addition, refugees have recently entered the city, and the Yamen has been extremely busy, so it is estimated that the case will only be closed hastily.

What I didn't expect was that an incident like Chu Zheng's happened and the case was completely deduced.

Changed the title of the book...

Uh-huh... not bad.
