Chapter Seventy-Seven: Resentment
Yulan took the small cloth bag containing the silver ingots and the small paper bag containing the unknown powder and sent them to Yao and Qin Jian, Yulian stepped forward to help open the cloth bag and paper bag, and a fishy and choking smell of medicine spread.

Yao's face changed again, and he hurriedly said: "Take out this packet of medicinal powder, don't put it in the house, and don't allow anyone to touch it!"
Yulan and Yulian were startled, and the latter hurriedly wrapped the paper bag, hurriedly sent it to the courtyard, and placed it on the ground, and called a little girl to bring a lantern, and stood there three feet away, not allowing anyone to come close.
When Yulian returned to the house, Yao said with a gloomy face: "I will go to the kitchen in a while and ask for a live chicken, feed a little of that medicinal powder, and see what happens to that chicken." ”
Several big girls also changed their faces when they heard this. Qin Jian hurriedly asked, "Mother, is that powder wrong?"
Yao said with a cold face: "It's good that you don't know, but now that I have passed through your eyes, I have to tell you about it." That's not a good thing, if I'm not mistaken, the powder only needs a little bit, and in the tea, and I can't smell it for a long time. As long as a person drinks one or two sips, within a moment or three, he will bleed from seven holes, and he can no longer be saved. This kind of poisonous thing is never allowed in people like us, and I don't know where the ink light comes from. ”
Qin Jian's face turned pale with fright. No matter how smart he was, he was only a twelve-year-old child. Originally, he just thought that he was going to teach a lazy little guy a lesson, but who knew that he was involved in such a drama! He looked at Mingfeng: "Who is Moguang colluding with?
Mingfeng is the leader among the four little guys, and he also manages these four people on weekdays, and they live in the same room, and he knows what the other little guys have, and even the two of them are used to handing over the valuables rewarded by the owner to him to help collect. If it is impossible not to ask Mingfeng when Moguang got such a terrible thing. Mingfeng also knew in his heart that if he couldn't explain this, he would also be punished.
He knelt on the ground and replied: "Brother Mingjian, the ink light in the past two or three days is indeed sneaky, there is always no one in the daytime, and he always finds a reason to run out." At first, he said that he was doing something to his mother's family, but he asked him about his godmother, but there was nothing to do. Today, he said that the paper was gone, and he went to ask for it, but there were clearly two knives of paper in the cabinet in his brother's study! But the little one inquired about his whereabouts, and either wandered around the Qingfeng Pavilion, or went to the back street of the Hou Mansion, and they all went up to that courtyard. I don't know who lived in the courtyard, but I heard that it was a foreign merchant, but the man lived alone in the courtyard, and he had no goods with him, and he always avoided people, and he wore a hat when he went in and out, as if he were afraid that people would see his face. As for the silver and the powder, the little one didn't know if Moguang got it from the merchant, but last night, Moguang only had this bag of silver in his hand at most, but there was no powder. He must have taken it from someone else. ”
Qin Jian asked, "Since you know that he got this bag of silver last night, why didn't you come and tell me?!"
Mingfeng lowered his head: "Brother, don't worry, he is not rootless in the house, maybe where did he get the silver." The little one only saw him sneakily hide something under his pillow last night, and he didn't see what it was, but he heard it sounding like money. It was the young man who went back to the house and couldn't find him, so he went to rummage through his things and found this bag of silver. Looking at the quantity and fineness of this silver, the small one knows that it must not have been rewarded by any master in the house, nor did he win it by gambling with others, and the origin is very suspicious. The little one didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately came to find his brother. ”
Yao said: "You did a good job. Now, you immediately go and call a few people and search for where the ink light is. I don't care if he's out of the mansion or still in the mansion, I'm going to find him out tonight no matter what!"
Qin Jian added: "Since Moguang revolves around the Qingfeng Pavilion all day long, you might as well go to the gate of the Qingfeng Pavilion and try it, maybe you can find him." ”
Yao Shi suddenly looked at his son with a shocked gaze: "Jian'er, did you guess something?"
Qin Jian's face sank like water: "My son doesn't know, he just wants to try his luck." ”
It turned out that Qin Jian's luck was very good. Mingfeng and the others really found Moguang at the west gate near the Qingfeng Pavilion. He didn't know that what he was hiding had been discovered, thinking that it was a lazy thing that had been exposed, and he had already thought of a bunch of excuses, thinking that if all the excuses didn't work, even if he fought for one or twenty boards, he couldn't tell what Cao Siye told him to do. You must know that when Cao Siye handed him the small paper package of medicinal powder before, he was almost frightened when he heard those words. But his parents, brothers and sisters are still in the Wang family, what can he do? He can only grit his teeth and agree first, those little thoughts of fighting for leisure and fighting have long been lost, and he is full of only thinking in his heart, whether to find an excuse and say that he can't get close to Zhao Mo, so he prevaricates Cao Siye?
Who knew that he didn't think of an excuse before he was caught.
When he arrived in front of Yao and Qin Jian, Ming Feng showed him the bag of silver and medicinal powder, and his legs went limp.
Seeing this, Yao sneered: "Don't say you don't know what you found under your pillow." If you say so, I'll take it and make tea, and tell you to drink it, and see if you have the guts!"
At this time, she had already experimented with live chickens, and the package of medicinal powder was indeed a deadly poison, and Mo Guang, as the owner, was not wronged at all.
After all, Mo Guang still cherished his little life, and cried and shouted to recruit Wang Cao.
Yao knew Wang Cao, but he had only seen him when he was a child, and he almost didn't remember who he was. That's just an unsuccessful child in the Wang family, who helps the Wang family's descendants to do chores, run errands, and do some trivial things on weekdays. There are not a hundred or eighty such children in the Wang clan, and there is nothing surprising at all. He dared to come to her mother-in-law's house to commit murder?!
Yao asked Moguang: "Wang Cao asked you to poison the little son of the Zhao family, did you say the reason?"
Mo Guang cried and shook his head: "Fourth Master Cao didn't say it, but said that this was the order of the eldest master of the Wang family, and the little ones were not allowed to push." He also said that if the small one does this for him, he will have small benefits in the future. But if the little one doesn't agree, he will beat the little one to death, and then sell the little one's parents and family, and no one will call the shots for the little one. The small ones really can't ......."
Qin Jian interrupted him with a sneer: "You don't talk nonsense! Your master is me, my great-grandfather gave you to me, and I am your master." What do you dare to do without telling me? No one has such a reason! Since Wang Cao is forcing you, you only need to come to me and explain the matter to me clearly, and I will personally go to Wang's house to ask for your parents and family. Will your great-grandfather still refuse to agree? How dare you obey Wang Cao's orders to kill people? If you are defeated and captured, and others know that you are my little servant, will they not be suspicious of me? You dare to plant such a disaster on my head, what a great boldness!"
Qin Jian looked back and thought about it, and felt a cold sweat. Not to mention why Wang Cao wanted to kill Zhao Mo, if it weren't for Zhao Mo's complaint to Chang Wang because of a few disrespectful words, he inadvertently mentioned that Moguang behaved differently, he would not have pursued Moguang, and then found that his whereabouts were strange, and further asked Mingfeng to investigate, and then found out the bag of medicinal powder and silver, and finally revealed Moguang's plan. If Chang Wang hadn't said those few words of complaint, if Zhao Mo hadn't mentioned anything to him, and inadvertently talked about Moguang, if he hadn't investigated the abnormality of Moguang, if Mingfeng hadn't found the packet of medicinal powder...... If he didn't do anything, he wouldn't be able to find out what Wang Cao was going to tell Moguang to do. When something happened to Zhao Mo's side, the third uncle ancestor Qin Bai asked, what would happen to him?
Even if he can prove his innocence in the end, Moguang is also his little servant, he is not strict in control, and let his subordinates do evil things, and it is impossible for him not to be affected. He studied diligently and wanted to enter the imperial examination, could it be that he would have to bear such a stain before he entered his studies? Mo Guang and Wang Cao almost ruined the future of his life, so how could he not hate it in his heart?!
Mo Guang was sent by his great-grandfather Wang's family, and Wang Cao was a member of the Wang clan, this is not an outsider! How could they trap him in injustice?!
Qin Jian turned his head to Yao and said, "Mother, Moguang's son can't stay anymore, please ask your mother to deal with it for your son." But Wang Cao's mother, she needs to ask to understand, she can't call him for no reason, and almost ruin her son's reputation!"
What Qin Jian can think of, Yao can also think of. She nodded with a calm face, glared at Mo Guang fiercely, and ordered someone to take him down and hold him in solitary confinement, without anyone to visit.
It's just that the ink light is easy to deal with, but Wang Cao is a little troublesome. He is also a member of the Wang clan, and he is not the object of the Yao clan who can be arrested and taught a lesson at will. And before acting, you have to consider the face of the Wang family.
What's more, Moguang claimed that Wang Cao acted in accordance with the orders of the elder of the Wang family. Is this true or false?
When all the people in the room were dispersed, Qin Jian couldn't help but ask the Yao family: "Mother, who will Zhao Mo be, and why did the Wang family kill him?"
Yao frowned: "How do I know? He is only a half-grown child, he has only been in the capital for a few days, what kind of enemies can he make?"
Qin Jian gritted his teeth: "Son, I'm going to ask him!"
Yao asked: "Can you ask it? If he is willing to tell you, he has already said it, how can he hide it until today? However, your third uncle and ancestor are very likely to know his details, but they are just unwilling to say it." When you entered the mansion, your third uncle said that he was Wu Jiansheng's cousin. I see that Wu Jiansheng is making a gesture, it doesn't seem like some big family is coming out, it may not be Zhao Mo's cousin, maybe it's just coaxing us. ”
Qin Jian said: "At that time, the third uncle and Zhao Mo didn't say anything, and there was a reason why they didn't say it. But now that Mo Guang is almost hurting someone, do we have to hide it for him? I don't think Zhao Mo is necessarily unconscious, maybe it was because he felt that Mo Guang was dangling at the door of Qingfeng Pavilion all day long, which was very suspicious, so he deliberately mentioned him to me. I'm going to tell him about it directly, and then I'll ask him where he is. Since I am calm, he should no longer hide it from me. Even if he still refuses to say anything to me, I can also ask the third uncle to go. ”
Yao hesitated: "This ...... It's about your great-grandfather's family. Before you go to find your third uncle, let's go to your great-grandfather first and ask things clearly. Maybe this matter has nothing to do with the Wang family, but Wang Cao is acting in the name of the Wang family. ”
Qin Jian was noncommittal about this: "If Mother wants to ask, just ask." But just in case, before we go to Wang's house, we still catch Wang Cao first. If we catch a thief and take the stolen goods, we must take him down with Moguang, so that we can find the door. (To be continued.) )
