Episode 17: The truth is revealed

"The daughter of the carpenter Wang fell in love with Liu Yu, the clothing shop of the Liu family, but the families of both parties did not agree. Liu Qi and his wife disliked Xuemei's poor family, but Carpenter Wang thought that Liu Yu had no money and power, and his daughter could not be sold at a good price.

Carpenter Wang told Liu Yu that if he wanted to marry Xuemei, he had to come up with five hundred taels of silver, where did Liu Yu get the money? So, he thought of splitting up. The neighbors of the Liu family can all testify to this matter.

However, Liu Qi's wife, Zhao, was bitter, stingy and suspicious, and was unwilling to give Liu Yu half of the family property, so one night, the couple poisoned Liu Yu under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard.

But unfortunately, this incident happened to be seen by Carpenter Wang, so he threatened the two of them, so they asked for hush money, but the two naturally refused, and Carpenter Wang was angry, so he threatened to go to the government to denounce it. Liu Qi and his wife had a plan, and went to Carpenter Wang's house to drink with Carpenter Wang at night, saying that they agreed to his request, but they needed time to make up. Carpenter Wang believed it, lost his vigilance, and was poisoned by Liu Qi and his wife. ”

"Then, why did he kill Xuemei?" Qin Zhaoqin was puzzled.

"I visited the neighborhood and asked about the day Liu Yu died, and Carpenter Wang drank wine. If my expectation is correct, when Liu Qi and his wife killed Liu Yu that day, Xuemei was looking for her father, and happened to pass by Liu's house, Liu Qi and his wife mistakenly thought that Xuemei also saw the events of that day.

Liu Qi wanted to kill Xuemei, but the Zhao family was greedy, thinking of selling Xuemei to the Qinglou first in exchange for a sum of silver, and then finding a time to kill him that night. The reason why Xuemei didn't resist before she died, and there was not even a trace of a fight in the house, was because Liu Yu was dead, and Xuemei already had the heart to seek death before entering Rumeng Pavilion. ”

"You, you!!" Zhao let out a sharp and piercing scream, and rushed towards Ji Xia Mo with his teeth and claws, but was kicked away by Jin Wuji, fell to the side, and spit out two teeth with blood in his mouth.

Ji Xia Mo looked at Jin Wuji with an expressionless face in a daze, opened his mouth, and didn't say a word for a long time. Oh my god! It's so cruel that there is wood!

"My lord! Adults have been wronged!! Liu Qi rushed to the front and looked at Zheng Tianhe crying with a handful of snot and tears.

"Ji Gongzi." Zheng Tianhe set his eyes on Ji Xiamo.

Ji Xia Mo bowed his head, a strange smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and walked to Zhao's side and squatted down, "Tsk, this is yours." ”

Ji Xiamo sent a peach pit to Zhao, and when he saw Zhao's eyes change, he hurriedly said. "Don't be fooled, I touched it from you with my own hands."

"Yes, what if it's a folk woman!" Zhao glared at Ji Xiamo hatefully, as if he wanted to scratch Ji Xiamo's white and beautiful little face, but with Jin Wuji on his side, a pair of eyes looked at her indifferently, as if as long as she dared to make a move, Jin Wuji would immediately pull out the sword in his hand and cut off her hand.

"That's a coincidence." Ji Xia Mo took out another peach pit from his arms. "I have another one here, which I found in the room where Xuemei was killed."

Zhao and Liu Qi were shocked, their mouths trembled, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

"This, this kind of gadget, all over the street, how do you know that it wasn't bought by that slut." Zhao gritted his teeth.

"Huh...... But as far as I know, peach pits are sold all over the street, but the words on them were engraved later. Ji Xiamo smiled and put the two peach pits together, forming two small words.

"Originally, I was holding one of the peach pits, and I couldn't figure out the meaning of it, but then I saw the one on you, and I realized that when these two peach pits are combined together, two words will appear at the edge of the division. One is Liu, and the other is Zhao. Kindness? ”

"Bang!" Liu Qi over there couldn't support it anymore and lay on the ground, trembling, his eyes began to be in a trance.

"Ah, and this." Ji Xiamo got up and walked to Xuemei's side, reaching out and lifting Xuemei's chin. "The scars on this Xuemei's neck don't seem like anything at first glance, but if you look closely, you'll find the clues."

Ji Xiamo stretched out a hand, and Jin Wuji handed over a cloth bag.

Ji Xiamo opened the cloth bag and took out a cowhide soft ruler from it. "This is the soft ruler I got from your house, come, take a look, it doesn't look like the marks on Xuemei's neck, the hyphens are all right."

"This ruler, in the entire capital, not to mention the clothing shop, even ordinary people will prepare one, what's so unusual." Liu Qi shuddered.

"Rulers are not unusual, but what about this one." Ji Xia Mo took out a medicinal porcelain bottle from his arms. "I remember you said that this is your family's ancestral ointment, which is unique in the whole capital."

"Yes! So what. ”

"That's not a coincidence." Ji Xiamo held one of Xuemei's hands and grinned. "When I was performing an autopsy on Xuemei, I also found this ointment in her fingernails!"

"You, what do you say!" Liu Qi's face was like ashes.

Ji Xiamo took out a piece of paper and opened it slowly. "This is what I extracted from Xuemei's nails, your family's ancestral ointment, I think you should be more familiar with it than anyone else, right?"

"If my expectations are correct, it should be Xuemei who grabbed your hand before she died and took it from you." Ji Xiamo put down Xuemei's hand, stood up, and motioned to Jin Wuji.

"And the wound on your hand was not cut by scissors at all, but sawed." Ji Xiamo took the saw handed by Jin Wuji and put it on the table in front of Zheng Tianhe. "When you poisoned the king carpenter, the king carpenter struggled to the death, and before he died, he wounded your hand with this saw. The dark black on this is the bloodstain that Liu Qi killed, and adults can check it. ”

Zheng Tianhe took the saw and looked through it in his hand, the expression on his face became darker and darker.

"In addition, my lord, I have ordered someone to dig up the bodies of Liu Yu and Carpenter Wang, and according to the examination, both of them were indeed poisoned to death."

"Good you Diaomin!" Zheng Tianhe was furious, slapped one hand on the table, and shouted. "In the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to hurt people's lives, and dare to blame the general's son, it is really a crime that deserves death."

"Shh Ji Xiamo turned his face away and pouted with disgust.

"It's all you!!" Liu Qi screamed, rushed to Zhao's side like crazy, and grabbed her neck.

"It's all you! If you hadn't been egging me on, how would I have done such a bastard!! You slut, I'm going to kill you!! ”

"You, you let go! You didn't tell me to do this! You want the old lady to carry the black pot alone, think beautiful!! ”

The two of them mingled, screaming as if they were crazy.

Jin Wuji protected Ji Xiamo with one hand, took him behind him, and looked at the two of them with a frown.

"Someone! Suppress these two Diao people and wait for the verdict!! Zheng Tianhe shouted angrily, and a few guards came up, separated the two, and held them down.

Ji Xia Mo touched his nose, got out from behind Jin Wuji, walked to Qin Yan's side, stretched out the bone fan in his hand and stabbed him. "Hey, are you alright?"

"Get out of here!!" Qin Yan was startled, as if he was frightened, and pushed Ji Xiamo away with all his might.

Jin Wuji's eyes sank, flashed forward, and hugged Ji Xiamo's body that almost fell. Black eyes swept towards Qin Yan with a chill.

"You stinky boy! If it weren't for Xiao Mo, you would still be in prison now. Qin Zhaoqin stepped forward, kicked Qin Yan's buttocks, and roared angrily.

Being kicked by Qin Zhaoqin and stumbling, Qin Yan looked at Ji Xiamo suspiciously, as if he was looking at a stranger. "Who the hell are you?"

“!!!” Ji Xiamo was shocked, but he still had a smile on his face. "Qin Xiaoyan, master, I saved your life, you don't know how to be grateful, and you dare to beat me, ah?"

"Who are you?" Qin Yan insisted, his eyes were like swords, staring at Ji Xiamo.

"Are you in prison? Who can I be? Ji Xia Mo Ji Master! ”

"Nope! You're not! Ji Xia Mo is stupid and stupid! Not as smart as you, not as beautiful as you. ”

"......" Ji Xia Mo

"Don't laugh at the virtuous nephew!" Qin Zhaoqin couldn't look at it, and pulled Qin Yan's ears behind him. "This kid is probably scared this time, and after a while, I will personally take him to the Prime Minister's Mansion to thank you."

"No need Uncle Qin, it's just a gesture."

"Thank you is a must, this bastard, I'll clean him up when I get home." Qin Zhaoqin said, glaring at Qin Yan hatefully. "Have you eaten yet? Why don't you go back to the General's Mansion with me? ”

"No need." Ji Xia Mo said with a smile. "I still have some things to do, and I have to let people rebury the two corpses that were dug up, I'm afraid I can't follow Uncle Chengqin's kindness."

"Don't worry, Uncle Qin owes this meal first. You don't have to bother with the corpse, I'll arrange a few people to clean it up, and the virtuous nephew should take care of it. Qin Zhaoqin smiled and motioned to Ji Xia Mo to loosen a tail of his hair and drape the hair on his shoulders.

"I've been busy with this bastard these days, so I must have been sleepless for a few days."

Ji Xia Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled without saying a word. Misunderstood? It's a good misunderstanding! He liked the misunderstanding.

"General Qin." Zheng Tianhe walked over and smiled a little embarrassed. "General Qin, this time, the lower official ......"

"Lord Zheng doesn't need to say much." Qin Zhaoqin lowered his face and said coldly. "Lord Zheng's care for my General's Mansion this time, General Ben will remember it in his heart, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely repay it!!"

"Virtuous nephew, I'll take this kid back first." Qin Zhaoqin said that, then turned around and left.

Ji Xiamo glanced at Zheng Tianhe, who was a little untenable, shrugged his shoulders, and walked out of the lobby leisurely

Looking at the sun overhead, Ji Xiamo squinted his eyes lazily.

"Brother Jin, accompany me to a place."

"Let's go wash up and eat first."

"Huh?" Ji Xia Mo was stunned, but before he could understand, Jin Wuji had already hugged him and flew into the sky.

"Ahhh!!hhh Brother Jin, can you remind me before turning on the next time, I'm afraid!! ”

"Okay."

"Brother Jin~~~"
