Chapter 42 "How do you like it?
Can you please send it to me?"
Deng Si'er saw Zuo Chi entering the small courtyard and came up to ask.
Zuo Chi nodded and looked over.
Chu Jing was also sitting leisurely at the stone table in the small courtyard reading a book, so he walked towards him.
Deng Si'er followed Zuo Chi, and the two of them stood in front of Chu Jing, blocking most of the light at once.
Chu Jing put down the book in his hand and asked Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er to sit down.
Just like Deng Si'er, he looked at Zuo Chi, waiting for his answer.
"I've already sent the greetings to someone, and I'll have a reply today."
Zuo Chi said.
Chu Jing nodded and was about to speak, but was overtaken by Deng Si'er on the side.
"Sir Zuo, is that governor really related to the case we are investigating?"
Deng Si'er opened his mouth and asked.
Yesterday, Zuo Chi suddenly said that he wanted to check on Song Yuqiu, which really shocked Deng Si'er.
Even if the son of the governor of Tuzhou failed to live up to his expectations, Song Yuqiu was the largest official in the entire Tuzhou government office.
Although she can't be as popular as the famous people in front of the emperor in the capital, the emperor's reward is still there, doesn't it mean that there is a favored younger sister in the palace?
No matter what I say, this Song Yuqiu will not go out of his conscience to resell the truth-seeking potions in Chongyang Academy.
Every day, the junior officials below are constantly giving gifts, so he still lacks this small amount of money.
Zuo Chi did not have these thoughts in Deng Si'er's mind.
From the beginning, when he and Chu Jing knew that Song Yuqiu was related to the shady potion trade in the academy, they never thought about it at all.
What Zuo Chi and Chu Jing were thinking about was the real, unknown secret or conspiracy hidden behind the shady deal on the potion.
Because, judging from Gao Qianli's action of going down to the lake to retrieve Deng Si'er's potion bottle, it is obvious that the person behind Gao Qianli must be related to the death of the seventeen people in Bai'an Village fifteen years ago.
As for the person behind Gao Qianli, the most suspicious person is Song Yuqiu, who, according to Deng Si'er's words, had nothing to do and left the famous people in the capital to go to Tuzhou to become the governor.
"Deng Si'er, the person you should ask this question is Uncle Jing."
Zuo Chi did not answer Deng Si'er's question directly.
Instead, he glanced at Chu Jing before speaking to Deng Si'er.
After Chu Jing talked with Zuo Chi that night, he decided that he would no longer hide the progress of the investigation from Deng Si'er, so he reminded: "Do you still remember that we rescued the scholar who fell into the water on the way to Chongyang Academy?"
Scholar who fell into the water Deng Si'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly recalled in his mind, it seemed that such a person did exist.
"Oh, I remembered.
It was the scholar who jumped into the river and almost drowned.
What was his name?
He had a belly button."
Zuo Chi almost spit out the tea he just drank when he heard the word "belly button".
What the hell is a belly button?
"It's Du Qingyan.
There's really nothing I can say about you.
You're so good at giving others random names for nothing."
Chu Jing corrected helplessly.
Deng Si'er nodded and said with a smile: "His name sounds almost like a belly button.
No matter what his name is, Uncle Jing, go on, what does this have to do with a belly button, no, it's Du Qingyan?"
"Do you still remember that when we asked him why he was being hunted, the word he said was about potion."
Chu Jing paused and then said: "I guessed at that time whether it might be related to the magic potion unique to Chongyang Academy, so I sent someone to investigate.
It turned out that there was indeed a transaction about the magic potion in the academy.
The leader was a student selling paintings.
After Zuo Chi and I have verified that this person is undoubtedly Gao Qianli."

"Then the other one is Song Yuqiu," Deng Si'er interrupted and asked.
"No" Chu Jing said.
"No, you still have to check whether Zuo Chi sent greeting cards to people."
Deng Si'er only heard Chu Jing say "no" and said anxiously, interrupting Chu Jing's words.
"Listen to Uncle Jing first and don't interrupt."
Zuo Chi glanced at Deng Si'er, then turned around and was surprised by his inadvertent move.
Since when did he himself have so many little tricks?
Was it because he was infected by Deng Si'er?
After being together for such a long time, Zuo Chi didn't realize that he was getting further and further away from the cold and isolated Zuo Shenqing.
What replaced him was a living and lovely person who, although he still didn't quite understand the emotions of human interaction, was already touched by human touch.
At least that's what Deng Si'er thought.
Chu Jing looked at Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er, continued the topic and said: "I didn't say it wasn't Song Yuqiu, but so far, we have no definite evidence to prove that Song Yuqiu is related to the shady potion trading in the academy."
Deng Si'er still didn't understand and asked: "Then why are you still investigating Song Yuqiu?"
At this time Zuo Chi answered: "The reason why we investigated Song Yuqiu is because Uncle Jing's people once followed Gao Qianli and saw a large amount of truth-revealing potions entering the back door of Song Mansion."
Chu Jing also nodded and said: "Yes, that's why we want to go to the Song Mansion to check first.
At the very least, we need to explore Song Yuqiu's words.
Otherwise, we won't be able to find a breakthrough in the case we want to investigate."
"So that's it, then do you think Song Yuqiu will meet us?"
After Deng Si'er understood it, he had a new question.
Zuo Chi and Chu Jing looked at each other without replying.
They don't know either.
Deng Si'er looked at the expressions of the two of them and felt that this matter might be a bit mysterious, so he lay on the table and muttered: "Also, if Song Yuqiu is really the instigator of the behind-the-scenes deal, then Song Yuqiu must have ordered Gao Qianli to go down to the lake to retrieve my bottle.
Then he must have noticed that we were investigating this potion deal, so how could he possibly want to see us?"
Just as he was talking, Deng Si'er suddenly sat upright in excitement, looked at Zuo Chi and Chu Jing and said with surprise: "That's not right.
I took out the iron box and showed it only to you two.
How did Song Yuqiu know that I had this Gu insect key?"
Chu Jing looked at Deng Si'er funny and said: "Where did you hear what we said yesterday?
Since Song Yuqiu can know that the key to the Gu insect is with you, how come he has nothing to do with the skeletons found fifteen years ago in Bai'an Village?"
When Deng Si'er heard this, he just said lightly and did not refute or ask questions, which made Zuo Chi and Chu Jing feel strange for a while.
"What's wrong with your expression?"
Seeing Deng Si'er's sudden listlessness, Zuo Chi glanced at Chu Jing inexplicably.
Although he was used to Deng Si'er being noisy from time to time, he still asked.
"It's nothing, I just feel that it happened more than ten years ago, so what does it have to do with me?
I just want to know who killed my father and my brother, that's all."
Deng Si'er said softly, Somewhat like talking to oneself.
That's it.
These four words expressed what Deng Si'er wanted in his heart, but left Zuo Chi and Chu Jing speechless.
While the three of them were silent, respectful words suddenly came in: "Master Zuo, please keep my master's reply."
The three of them came to their senses together, there was a reply so quickly Zuo Chi immediately turned around and walked to the visitor, took the reply, opened it, read it and said to the visitor: "Thank you for your hard work."
The man said a few polite words and left.
After reading the reply sent by Song Yuqiu in his hand, Zuo Chi turned around and said to Chu Jing and Deng Si'er: "At noon the day after tomorrow, Song Yuqiu invited us to a banquet at the Song Mansion
