Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 173 Haikang County Fishermen

   Ma Liushi shook his head resentfully: "My family found a lot of medicinal materials to treat him. Now his complexion is much better, but he still can't get out of bed. I'm afraid this is the only way to go in this life."

   "I've been injured for a hundred days, and I'll get better after a few more days of recuperation."

  Chu Nanzhi comforted in a warm voice.

   Maliu and his two daughters-in-law shook their heads.

  Chu Nanzhi also noticed that she might be seriously injured.

   "It's a pity that my niece has to serve a paralyzed niece before she passes the door."

   Ma Liushi frowned, very distressed: "I don't know what the world is, his father is still in the prison, and my little one"

   "Ahem."

  Before she finished speaking, Ma Defu came over, deliberately coughed a few times, and the words in Ma Liushi's mouth stopped abruptly.

  Chu Nanzhi looked up, and saw Ma Defu said with a smile: "The ginseng soup is ready, do you need to feed the gentleman inside?"

"Let me do it."

  Li Ce put the prepared golden rooster in front of Chu Nanzhi, washed his hands, and went to the hut to get ginseng soup to feed Deng Tuzi.

   "This brother in my wife's family is a warm and straightforward person."

  Ma Defu looked at the back of Li Ce entering the room, with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth.

   "He is indeed straightforward."

   There was a little helplessness in Chu Nanzhi's eyes, it's hard to describe his enthusiasm.

   Now she can see clearly that Li Ce followed to protect her, and more likely to spy on her for Lin Jinxiao.

Ma Defu thought that he had taken the two thousand taels of silver notes for the gentleman inside, and he did not dare to be negligent, and said cautiously: "The gentleman brought by the lady only drinks some ginseng soup every day, and I am afraid that he will get tired of it. He mixes it with some light crucian carp soup every day to promote blood circulation and unblock the collaterals, which is beneficial to recuperation."

   "The old man is thoughtful, I thank the old man for his kindness."

  Hearing him mention fish, Chu Nanzhi's eyes began to light up, and she couldn't help but said: "Senior's family lives in the mountains, and I didn't expect to have such good food as crucian carp, which is admirable."

   "It's nothing."

Ma Defu said with a smile: "It's only a day's journey from here to Haikang County. To be honest, my unlucky brother-in-law used to be a famous fisherman in Haikang County. He taught the old man a few years ago. A small pond was dug out and hundreds of fish were raised, if the lady likes it, the old man will catch a few for the lady tomorrow to try something new."

   "Don't dare to bother seniors."

After hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi thought of Ma Liushi's unfinished words just now, and she had a clear thread in her heart. She thought that the mother and daughter she met when she entered the room just now were Ma Liushi's sister and niece. , and it was the unlucky brother-in-law that Ma Defu mentioned in the big prison.

  I saw him trying to cover up the past just now, and I had no intention of asking, but hearing him mention fish farming at this time, it is another matter.

  She immediately turned to ask: "Just now I heard Mrs. Liu mentioned that someone in her family has been imprisoned. I don't know if it's the sister-in-law mentioned by the senior?"

   "It's not that the old man wants to deliberately hide this from the lady."

Ma Defu frowned slightly, with a bitter expression on his face: "It's really my brother-in-law who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. In the past two years, the imperial court canceled the ban on going to sea, and Haikang County is a barren land surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the other. Salt the caught fish into dried fish and sell them to nearby counties in Funing County in exchange for some rice and miscellaneous grains."

Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help interrupting him: "If you want to talk about the nearby counties, Luyan Port in our county is the most affluent. Sell ​​it to Luyan Port."

   "Cough, the lady was joking."

Ma Defu shook his head disapprovingly: "It is true that Haikang County is adjacent to Luyan Port, but it is completely blocked by the majestic and rolling Duanlong Mountain and the choppy Lanjiang River. It takes hundreds of miles to get there, such a long distance, not to mention fresh fish, even dried salted fish is not profitable."

   "Oh, so the river that flows through our village is called Lanjiang."

Chu Nanzhi said something to himself, but Ma Defu heard it, and he sighed with some sentimentality: "It is a river that is not profitable and cuts off people's money. The places that want to flow through have their own names. Because of the turbulent waves, people here are used to calling it Lanjiang."

  It's just that I was talking about people's livelihood with her, but she cared about the insignificant Yi Yijiang's name, which is really hateful.

  Chu Nanzhi also realized that she had lost her mind, so she quickly turned the topic back to the main topic, and said solemnly: "Since the imperial court has banned the ban, it should be a good thing. Why did my brother-in-law go to jail instead?"

   "It's hard to explain in one word, so it's worth not to say it."

  Ma Defu waved his hand impatiently, feeling that the woman was too gossip and wanted to ask about everything.

Just as he was about to turn around, Li Ce walked out after feeding Deng Tuzi and drinking the ginseng soup. Hearing the conversation between the two, he saw the old doctor's disdainful expression, and said angrily, "If you want anything else Talking to my sister-in-law, she might be helpless, but if you want to bring justice to others, if you miss my sister-in-law's big Buddha, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life."

   "What do you mean by your words?"

  When Ma Defu heard the words, he and his wife and children stared at Li Ce who was walking slowly.

Li Ce curled his lips arrogantly: "Over the past few months, my sister-in-law has helped the county solve several major cases, from the theft of tax and silver that shocked the government and the public, to the scandal of the youngest son of Mr. The corpse case and the Shen family's murder of her own husband by poisoning, each one of which is not complicated and confusing, is all investigated by my sister-in-law."

   Before he could finish speaking, Ma Laifu shouted excitedly: "It turns out that the lady is the lady of Luyan Port, the mysterious detective Chu, who is so disrespectful and disrespectful."

  Although Ma Defu lives in the mountains, his nephew likes to join in the fun. He often goes down the mountain and sells some prey to rich families.

A while ago, I also heard my nephew mention the theft of Luyan Port tax bank and the adultery between Zhao Taigong’s nephew and his step-wife, but his nephew didn’t mention the main point. He now remembers how gold turns into stone, and how the Zhao family’s step-wife is. How charming and charming, I have never heard of the expert who solved the case.

   With a gloomy expression, he glanced fiercely at his nephew Ma Laifu, and then apologized to Chu Nanzhi with a face of shame: "It's true that the old man has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and an expert is right in front of him, but the old man has dim eyesight."

  Slightly paused, the respect in his heart became stronger, and he said respectfully and politely: "Ms. Chu is really knowledgeable and wise. Not only is she proficient in medical theory, but she also judges cases like a god, which is really admirable."

   "Senior has given too much credit."

  Chu Nanzhi said with a warm smile: "I don't know what your brother-in-law has committed. If it's convenient, please tell me. If I can think of a way, I would like to help."

   "Thank you so much, my lady."

"You are Welcome."

   After all, he is a well-known fisherman in Haikang County, and he must have a lot of resources in his hands.

   This is also a little selfishness of Chu Nanzhi's willingness to intervene in this matter.
