Raising a Wolf as a Husband: Love Rivals Everywhere

Xiao Er paused, as if looking for an adjective.It looked a little difficult, but after a while it seemed to finally remember.

"I don't quite understand the set of words used by those scholars, but the Qiao family is really domineering." Seemingly satisfied with thinking of such a word, Xiaoer nodded, and then continued, "They So overbearing, their family's business can only be done by them."

monopoly?A thought flashed through Qu Mingyue's mind, but she didn't interrupt Xiao Er.But if it's just a monopoly business, it shouldn't be so criticized, right?At least, isn't Xiao Yunqi also running a monopoly business?

In fact, this is just a difference between Qu Mingyue's understanding and Xiaoer's description.

Xiao Yunqi's monopoly.It is a unique design, whether it is dishes or jewelry clothes, it is like every restaurant has a secret recipe.If someone else has opened the same store, as long as he doesn't steal his creativity and style.He will not be so arrogant that other people are not allowed to open a shop.

But the Qiao family is different.

For example, the Qiao family's grain and oil business, he wants to be the only one. Originally, there were several stores in the south of the city, the north and the west of the city, but the Qiao family only had two shops in the east of the city.But less than a year.The rest of the shops closed down one after another, and they were still the original ones, but with the signboard of Qijia on them.

In the future, there will be several restaurants and pastry shops.

If at the beginning people thought that the previous store could not continue to operate and was bought by the wealthy Qiao family, then what happened afterwards would be too coincidental.

After that, even some small traders are not allowed to buy the same things as Qiao's.Or, if it is something that the Qiao family likes, they must sell the production method to the Qiao family.

Then if you want to sell it, you have to buy it from Qiao's house.But when it was sold to the Qiao family, the price was quite low, but if you want to buy it, the price has doubled or even more.

Qu Mingyue and the others quietly listened to Xiao Er's description of each incident, and they became a little numb after hearing it.Where is this overbearing?Just outrageous and unreasonable, right?All the good things in the world must belong to their family, and if they don't give them, they will wave down the big stick.

"But, that's not right. I saw many people went to Qiao's running water banquet yesterday. Many people went to Qiao's house to congratulate." Qu Mingyue asked in surprise.

Xiao Er sighed and said, "It's okay if they can't remember you. If you didn't go to the Qiao family who you had dealings with before, and you made a note of it, it would be hard for them. I know how the Qiao family behaves. Which one of our local people didn't go there with a smile on their faces? Yesterday, it was our shopkeeper, didn't they also bring a generous gift? It is said that it is a running water banquet, regardless of the gift, but they are familiar with the way. I can't wait to squeeze my flesh and blood to them To give presents. Only strangers passing by like guest officials are invited in with a sincere congratulations."

Speaking of which, Qu Mingyue remembered that at the wedding banquet yesterday, some people ate hastily and impatiently.The old gods that some people eat are talking loudly, which is obviously polarized.

Is this supposed to be the difference between foreigners and locals?

Even if they really gave generous gifts and were oppressed by the Qiao family, they still dare not stay in the Qiao family for a long time.At that time, Qu Mingyue still felt that people just ate faster, either because there was something urgent, or it was just his habit.And because of the running seats, the next table would be full soon, so she didn't pay attention that much.

Wait for her to eat and drink.A group of people also came back.

The second child obviously knew a lot of gossip, and Qu Mingyue was excited to hear it, obviously not planning to let him go.

"That bride is actually a miserable person." Xiao Er held the broken silver in his hand, a little happy and a little nervous.Calculating the time when he came up, he couldn't help but speed up his speech.Although it is understandable in their business to introduce some news to the guests, it takes too much time.The shopkeeper is also unhappy.

The bride's natal family does embroidery, and that handicraft is unique in the entire county.The bride's mother was originally the embroiderer in Qiao's embroidery workshop, and her father was also a worker in the embroidery workshop.As for the lady in the main room, she also went to work in the embroidery workshop.In less than a month, he was taken by the young master Sun of the Qiao family.

That is a heart-to-heart pleasing girl.

However, the weather is unpredictable, and the parents of the bride's family have not waited for the two to tie the knot.I ran into bandits on the way out once, and when I found it, not to mention the batch of goods that the Qiao family sent two people to purchase, every piece of good skin on everyone's body had already been chopped off.

Now both parents died, although the Qiao family paid a sum of money because they were working for the Qiao family.But the part of the reason is that it is not the goods of Qiao's family, but some regular customers asked the bride's mother to bring some goods, and the money was paid first.

This is considered to be a job that the bride's parents took over in private. It was not included in the regulations in the first place. If it is really investigated, the Qiao family can still deal with them.

In the end, although the Qiao family did not pursue the matter, the bride had to pay back the money by herself.The money given by the Qiao family, after deducting the funeral expenses, and filling in the rest is less than one-third of the debt.

"Later, Jinniang took her younger sister to marry Young Master Sun of the Qiao family." Xiao Er said here.Obviously there are some guesses, after all, there is a little bit of weirdness revealed in this matter.

But he couldn't make random guesses. Although the members of the Qiao family were all dead, talking too much would cause trouble for the upper body.

Xiao Er said this, and hurriedly said, "That's all I know, the guest officer wants to hear other things, so go ask others. Xiao Er said goodbye."

"Do you think that this bride is trying to sell herself?" Qu Mingyue rested her chin on the backs of her folded hands.The crossed hands stretched out their index fingers to touch their chin, a little confused but also a little inexplicably excited.

Qu Mingyue felt that she was a bit of a detective, and she really wanted to get to the point of the whole case.

Feng Ning picked up a chicken wing for Qu Mingyue.Said, "Let's eat first, if you don't eat it, it will be cold. As for this case, there are arrests. Moreover, it will take at most two days. If they have no definite news within two days, they will have to let us go." For the past two days, we'll just have fun in Chenglin County."

Qu Mingyue asked in surprise, "How do you know the maximum time is two days?"

Feng Ning smiled, and said, "Did you notice a young man wearing a light gauze gown when you were taking notes just now?"

When Feng Ning mentioned it, Qu Mingyue seemed to remember that there were a few people ahead of her, two tables away.There was still a young man standing beside the man. According to the young man's intention, they didn't go into Qiao's house at all yesterday, they just stood at the door for a while when the sedan chair arrived at Qiao's house.

It was completely thought that there were too many people at that time, so they were blocked there.

When the crowd entered Qiao's house, they returned to the inn.The innkeeper can testify to this. It was only the end of the day when they came back, and they never went out again.

From the beginning to the end, that young master didn't say a word, and his attitude was very cold.Even Jiu'er said a few words when facing the official errands for basic transfers.

At this time, Qu Mingyue also understood that the identity of that person should not be simple, and he would definitely not be trapped in this small county.Therefore, he must put pressure on the county government soon, and he must not be let alone at that time, or it will arouse public resentment.

Although she felt relieved, Qu Mingyue was still a little interested in who the murderer was.

Jiu'er, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly said, "They should have died from two poisons."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Jiu'er paused and continued, "A kind of poison develops slowly, so the old masters of the Qiao family died in their sleep in their beds. But the young master and the bride, the poison developed quickly. , and they are the only ones who are bleeding from the seven orifices, which shows that the toxicity is fierce. The young master had an attack before he even got up on the bed."

Jiu'er followed Qu Mingyue these days, although the number of words is still not much, but the number of long sentences is obviously increased.

I don't know if it was forced out by Qu Mingyue, or if it was really influenced by a few people and started to change to the way of normal people's life.Of course, Qu Mingyue didn't notice much of this, but Feng Ning had vaguely guessed about Jiu'er's identity from the very beginning.

Although the people in there are not wooden stakes, they will only answer a sentence if the master gives instructions.

As it is now, it is really rare for Jiu'er to take the initiative to chat with Qu Mingyue.

Several people chatted while eating, and it took a long time for a meal, and it was only then that Qu Mingyue realized that Jiu'er used poison more powerfully than medicine.What kind of poison is in Qiao's family, Jiu'er will be able to see it clearly just by taking a look.

And when they were about to leave, another group of yamen servants rushed into the inn in a hurry.
