Chapter 133: Loved across the mountains and seas
"Who's in the hall?"
"The slave maid Liu'er is the maidservant girl next to Mrs. Qin. Liu Er was brought up and knelt down beside Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin looked at her in disbelief, she didn't expect that her close maid would become a witness, and she was shocked and suspicious for a while.
Mo Xingle: "Tell me what happened after the banquet that day. ”
Liu Er quietly glanced at Mrs. Qin, and saw that her eyes were full of anger, and her expression was full of daring to betray me!
She was startled, and didn't dare to peek at Mrs. Qin again, pinching her own forcible exercise to calm herself: "Because Mochizuki was not allowed to drink at the banquet, Madame noticed that the prefect looked unhappy, so after the banquet, Madame took out the rose brew and gave it to the prefect as an apology, and the prefect was reluctant to accept it, but also tasted a cup and left." ”
She was right. The prefect who was listening explained: "The beautiful scenery and delicious food on a good day, I am not very happy that Mochizuki does not let me drink, but I can understand that the rest of the people at the table cannot drink, Mrs. Qin accompanied me to have a drink before leaving, although the taste of the wine is weak, Mrs. Qin's heart is understood." The wine is expensive, and it is enough for the official to go home with the breeze and the bright moon on his sleeves. ”
The last sentence was specially said to Mo Xingle.
"After the shopkeeper Gao, Cao Dangjia and Mochizuki left, Madame stood at the door for a while......" Liu Er's voice became lower and lower, and the magistrate urged: "Be louder, who are you waiting for when you stand?"
She looked at Mo Xingle again with a pleading, Mo Xingle nodded gently, these movements were seen by Mrs. Qin, she wrung her handkerchief, and wanted to tear Liu Er's mouth on the spot.
Liu Er: "Madame stood at the door for a while, and Master Zhou went and returned, saying that he wanted to taste the taste of roses." ”
The people in the hall screamed, and in the dead of night, they suddenly turned back and said that they wanted to taste the taste of wine, and there must be something to do with it.
Master Zhou didn't stay long, chatted with his wife for a while, drank wine and went back. ”
"How long have you stayed?What did you say, did they have any conflicts?" The magistrate asked, Liu Er replied for half an hour, and the lady asked her to wait outside, she didn't know if the two had a conflict.
Then Mo Xingle invited the witness Gao to take the imprisoned Mochizuki, and they recounted what they saw and heard, which was basically not much different from the confession they signed and drew for Mo Xingle before.
"According to the testimony of the prefect, the high shopkeeper, the cook Mochizuki, and the maid Liu'er, as well as the smell of wine recorded by the first hand, Zhou Qing drank the wine, drank the rose flower brew you poisoned, and went back to die of poison! This poison is not arsenic, nor is it anything else, but yellow flowers. ”
Mrs. Qin still wanted to quibble, so Mo Xingle came up with the most critical evidence - the new discovery of Qi Zuo, who found that there were still remnants of fresh yellow flower petals in his stomach, Zhou Yu smelled the smell of roses on Zhou Qing's body before he died, and the wine vessel that was brought out of Qin's house on the day of the incident was filled with rose flowers, it may be that Skynet was restored, Mrs. Qin asked people to pour the rose brew, but the other maid who was in charge of doing this did not clean the wine vessel, and the petals remained in the mouth of the pot.
and the yellow flower field in her house that has been picked with yellow flowers, which also proves that she has this condition.
"Why should I poison him, I am not his wife and children, and his family property cannot fall on me, what good is it for me?" Mrs. Qin bit her lip, still refusing to admit it.
Mo Xingle rubbed his chin: "You didn't think about killing him, you just wanted him not to come to you for the time being." But unfortunately, Zhou Qing was sick that day, and you happened to give him a drink of rose brewed with fresh yellow flowers, if it was an ordinary person who drank it, he might vomit and have a headache, and he would have been fine at home for a few days, but unfortunately Zhou Qing had a very bad cough over there, maybe typhoid fever, and this pot of roses stuffed with ingredients would kill him. ”
"I'll guess casually again, the reason why I don't want Zhou Qing to come to you is because your husband is about to come back, and you are worried that your relationship will be discovered by him, so you will give Zhou Qing some yellow flowers, and when he recovers his body, your husband has left Nanxun to continue to do business - so speculate, can I guess, Zhou Qing may not know that you have a husband?" Mo Xingle added.
"You are talking nonsense, you are spewing blood!" Mrs. Qin was shaky, the most secret thing was exposed by Mo Xingle, her eyes were black, and she couldn't wait to faint like this, she didn't dare to listen to the words of the people behind her, and she had a trace of luck in her heart, fortunately, that person he had left Nanxun, fortunately......
"Is it true, don't you count it in your heart?" Mochizuki opened his mouth coldly, and if he didn't open his mouth, he didn't say anything, and his words were not shocking: "A foreign wife who takes care of two people, how can I do it if my life is not coordinated, this day is not easy." ”
Her words were like a heavy punch, and Mrs. Qin's eyes were split, "Mochizuki!"
Ah Yao's mouth couldn't be closed, and there was a big melon hidden behind the poisoning case.
The so-called foreign wife is an outer room girl, who is raised outside and does not even have the status of a concubine.
"If no one knows, he must not do it. Your house was bought with the money paid by the traveling merchant, and the decoration in the courtyard was made by the surname Zhou. Normally, I don't talk much about those things in the main family and don't take them to heart, but you have calculated on my head, and my life is more important than your, so don't blame me for saying it. ”
After going around in a big circle, the Zhou family pointed the artillery fire on the wrong person, and Zhou Yu's family guarded day and night, in case his husband was poisoned by his wife, and the truth was found out only to know that her husband was still raising people outside. Mochizuki confirmed her innocence, the poisoning had nothing to do with her, she was acquitted, and she stepped out of Nanxun Yamen innocently. As for Mrs. Qin...... After so many days of being free, she went to feel the hardships that Mochizuki had endured, not to mention that she also took on a human life, even if it was unintentional, what was waiting for her was the hanging of the autumn queen.
……
Qu Yun and Mochizuki walked out of the prison, Mochizuki, who had not seen the sun for a long time, squinted his eyes and let the sunlight shine: "It seems that I have had a long dream." ”
"You wake up from a nightmare, let's go home. Qu Yunhe answered.
"Well, go home. Mochizuki held Qu Yunhe's hand that held her, tightly, unwilling to let go: "...... When are you leaving?"
She knew that it was impossible for Qu Yunhe to stay, it was not easy to see each other, and it was a luxury to see each other for one more day, but she still hoped that Qu Yunhe could stay a little longer, a little longer.
Qu Yunhe stopped, "Qiu'er, I came here to see you, as long as you have a good life, I will be satisfied." When you come here, you find that you are in prison, and there are many people here who already know your identity, and Nanxun is no longer safe. Qiu'er, Fuhai does not have the capital and Nanxun is rich, relying on the sea to eat the sea, I didn't dare before, but now I have roots in Fuhai, and I will protect you if I work hard, you ...... Would you like to come back to Fuhai with me?"
Mochizuki opened his mouth slightly, Qu Yunhe's sideburns were slightly white, they were not young anymore, they had experienced forced separation, their love was separated by mountains and seas, and they had been gone for more than ten years.
"I do!"
