Chapter 112: Guidance for the Dead
The customized mouse pad and fan have not yet arrived, so I have stepped up in signing in the past two days, and the book has not yet been sent, only the first in Guangzhou, because the girls in Guangzhou are going to have a party in two days, and the mouse pad has not arrived. Wait a little longer, the girls in other places should have the mouse pad in the next two days, and they should be sent out together when the time comes.
------Off topic------
Bu Xisheng had heard of her ability to conduct an autopsy and solve the case, and also knew that the matter she invited him to the Governor's Mansion the day before yesterday was to investigate the case, and if she knew that he died at this time, she would definitely come to investigate the cause of his death, so he left her a guide to solve the case before he died.
"I didn't expect Bu Xisheng to be such a smart person." "He committed suicide by taking poison, but it wasn't of his own volition, so he did a lot of unreasonable things before he died, just to leave me a clue to investigate the case." ”
"Is it really the girl in the kitchen who killed Bu Xisheng?" Yuan Xiu felt that something was wrong, "If he was poisoned, what would he do if he wrote a suicide note!" ”
"That's right." Twilight Qing showed the white jade bottle to Yuan Xiu.
"Is it really poisonous in almond cake?" Yuan Xiu asked.
When he returned to the study, Yuan Xiu was standing outside the courtyard, and Zhao Liangyi came to dig up poison under the apricot tree, and he knew what Twilight had asked. Song didn't even ask anything when he beat people to death, he thought that those subordinates didn't know anything, but he didn't expect her to ask.
Songchun and Songxia glanced at each other, and before they could speak, Twilight left without looking back.
After Lian'er retreated, Twilight Qing wanted to go back to Xisheng's study, and said before leaving: "You two are not busy looking for death, this case has not been solved, I may summon you at any time, you better heal your injuries first." When the case is solved, the injuries are healed, and there is strength to seek death. ”
"Go back and tell your wife, and ask her to come to the study with your general's suicide note."
"Just right, dare to ask the governor if he wants to see Madame?"
After Lian'er entered the house, Twilight asked about the firewood room, proved that what Songchun said was true, and ordered Lian'er to go down and ask, "Can your wife take a bath and change clothes?" ”
At this time, the soldiers guarding the door replied outside and said that Lian'er had brought it.
Song Chun thought for a while and said, "I don't think the governor doesn't ask, but now that I think about it, the master is a little abnormal tonight." In the past, when the slave and maid sent supper, the master always did not look at the slave and maid, and tonight ...... But he always watched the slave and maid talk, as if the errands he ordered the slave and maid to do were all important matters, and the slave and maid should remember it firmly. ”
"Is there anything else unusual about your master tonight?" Twilight asked.
Twilight uncorked the bottle, and sure enough, she smelled a strong smell of almonds, not only was this smell not pungent, but there was some nut fragrance, and I don't know how Wu Jin could refine such a good-smelling poison, no wonder Song Chun really took it as almond syrup.
"It's this bottle, the slave buried it with her own hands tonight, you won't be mistaken."
"Take a closer look at this medicine bottle, but the bottle you buried?" There were no noisy people in the room, so Twilight Qing went back to the case, and she wiped the white jade bottle with a handkerchief, and spread it in the palm of her hand for Song Chun to look at carefully.
Bu Xihuan turned his back and couldn't help laughing. Her serious appearance is quite effective in deceiving people.
Soldiers outside the door: "......"
Matsuharu: "......"
"Oh." Twilight said indifferently, "You're still alive, so it means I lied to him just now." ”
If she had died at that time, she would not have been disgraced by the rod.
After the door was closed, there was no sound in the wing room for a long time, and Song Chun asked for a long time: "Is the governor saying that people who get this poison on their hands will die?" But the slave maid...... I'm still alive and well. ”
"Close the door, he'll be back later, don't let it in and disturb me about the case." Twilight said to the pro-soldier outside the door.
Zhao Liangyi was so shocked that cold sweat came out, and before he finished shouting, the person had disappeared - he washed his hands.
This kid is cold and hard, how can he be joking? When it comes to a case, it will not be nonsense.
Zhao Liangyi looked at her for a while, and jumped up, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
Twilight stopped talking, only looking at Zhao Liangyi.
“…… No! ”
"Have you ever seen me joking?"
"Is it so powerful?" Zhao Liangyi glanced at his hand and stared at Twilight Qing suspiciously, half-convinced.
Twilight Qing had a calm face and said seriously: "This poison is buried in the soil, and I don't know if the bottle seal is firmly stuffed, you pick up the soil with your hands, why don't you wash your hands quickly!" No wonder I didn't remind you, if this poison is on your hands, you won't want to hold a knife for the rest of your life. ”
Zhao Liangyi glanced at Twilight Qing in surprise and said with a smile: "You kid also have times when he is nervous?" ”
"Wash your hands if you don't want to die!" Twilight Qing frowned, grabbed the handkerchief in Bu Xihuan's hand and picked up the medicine bottle in Zhao Liangyi's hand, and then stopped him in a deep voice and drove him to wash his hands.
"Hey!" Zhao Liangyi was not happy, and handed his hand stained with yellow mud to Bu Xihuan's eyes, "If you dare to love, your governor's life is valuable, and the master's is not expensive?" The master is good at digging the soil just now! ”
Twilight Qing stretched out her hand to take it, and suddenly handed a white handkerchief in front of her, Twilight Qing looked up and saw that it was Bu Xihuan who handed it over, he glanced at her lightly, although she didn't say a word, she still understood the rebuke in his eyes - dare to take the poison bottle, too long?
Twilight Qing is very familiar with this white jade bottle, Wu Jin has given her medicine a few times, and she is holding this white jade bottle - this is most likely the bottle of poison Yama that Wu Jin lost!
Before Lian'er was called, Zhao Liangyi came back first, there was mud between his fingernails, and he was holding a white jade bottle in his hand.
When a soldier at the door heard this, he gave the order and went.
After Twilight Qing knew what to expect, she turned around and said, "Chuan Lian'er came to ask." ”
Songchun's expression does not seem to be fake, and the order of memories is also reversed, these are all expressions of truth.
The master ordered the slave and maid to bury the almond dew, and there was no shovel in the study, so the slave and maid went to the firewood room to get it, and it happened that Lian'er came to fetch charcoal for the lady's house. She also asked the slave and maid what they were doing when they came to the firewood room to get a shovel, and the slave and maid only said that it was ordered by the master, and did not say much. The governor can ask Lian'er about this matter, or ask the rough envoy in the firewood room. ”
"Oh?"
Song Chun thought that Du Qing was suspicious of her, and hurriedly said: "What the slave said is true, the big girl in the lady's house, Lian'er, can testify for the slave and maid!" ”
Twilight's brow moved.
Song Chun's heart was very confused, and he was stunned for a while when he heard the words, and then he said while recalling: "It was the master who ordered the slave to bury it, and the master said that this almond dew is precious and needs to be properly preserved if it is not used up, otherwise the taste will fade." The master said that there was an apricot tree outside the study, and that it was best to bury this almond dew under the apricot tree, so the slave and maid did so. ”
"You don't know, you're not guilty." Twilight said, she could see whether what Song Chun said was true or false, so she didn't suspect that she made it up, but she still had questions, "Why did you bury that bottle of almond dew?" ”
"Poison ...... What poison? Did the governor say that the master was really poisoned by a slave and a maidservant? "Songchun was beaten tonight, and he always thought that he was wronged, but when he heard Twilight's words, he was suddenly struck by lightning.
After Zhao Liangyi took the people away, the two girls, Songchun and Songxia, looked at Dusk Qing in surprise, and neither of them had come back to their senses.
Bu Xisheng's wife and children all went to bathe and change clothes, no one in the study watched, Twilight was afraid that something would go wrong, so when he came to the front yard, he didn't let Yuan Xiu follow, leaving him in the study to watch Bu Xisheng's body.
Zhao Liangyi was listening to Du Qing's questioning on the side, originally it was strange why she came, these two girls were easy to talk, and their faces sank when they heard this. Although he was very arrogant on weekdays, he was not ambiguous in getting things done, and turned around and went to Bu Xisheng's study.
"Go dig!" Twilight turned around and said to Zhao Liangyi, "Be careful, it's not almond dew, it's poisonous Yama." ”
"Buried under the apricot blossom tree outside the master's study." Matsuharu replied.
"Almond syrup?" Twilight's face turned cold and asked, "Where is the almond syrup now?" ”
The mellow girl had a gentler temperament, and hurriedly explained for her: "Du Du Mo blames Sister Songchun, she is straighter, but she has no intention of offending Du Du. Tonight is different from usual, usually the slave maid and Sister Songchun make snacks together, but tonight the master said that he wanted to eat almond cake, and he didn't want to eat the same as usual, he called Sister Songchun to the study and gave Sister Songchun a bottle of almond syrup, saying that when making snacks, put it in, and the almonds were more fragrant. Sister Songchun said that such almond cakes had never been done before, so she would do this errand tonight, and the slave maid made those three snacks. ”
When the thin girl heard this, her eyes suddenly filled with aggrieved anger, "Is the governor saying that slaves and maids are lazy?" ”
Twilight bowed her head slightly, and then asked, "Your master has a total of four plates of snacks for supper, why did you only make one and she made three?" ”
The thin girl said: "Bird's nest needs to be stewed in water, and it will take a lot of time to stew, so it is always prepared in the ordinary kitchen, and the general, wife or aunt want to drink it, so send someone to the kitchen to serve it." ”
"Where's the bird's nest porridge?" Twilight didn't rush to ask about the almond cake.
"The marzipan cake is made by a slave." After answering a thinner one, his posture was slightly inferior, but his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as knives, and he was a powerful man at a glance.
"Jade cakes, golden silk cakes, and milky bean cakes are made by slaves." The maid who answered first had a round face and a bit of wealth.
"Which of your master's snacks was made tonight?" Twilight asked.
Twilight Qing has never been verbose, the two maids have a strong temperament, and they are also happy people, nodding in unison and saying: "If the governor has something to say, the slaves and maids must know everything, we don't plan to live, and we don't want to owe the governor before we die, and if we report it, we can go to the underworld cleanly, and if you can still be a person in the next life, you will be reincarnated in the governor's mansion and serve a master like the governor!" ”
"Don't thank me for saving my life, I don't think you plan to cherish this life. Your master is dead, I want to investigate this case, tonight's snack was made by the two of you, I have something to ask you, you tell the truth to repay my kindness. ”
When the two maids heard this, they raised their heads, and blood came out of their foreheads, their faces were pale, and they were dripping with sweat. They don't remember others, but their life-savers do.
Twilight entered the room with a cold face, dragged a chair and sat down in front of the couch, without pulling or persuading, but said: "Since you are not even afraid of death, and you must not be afraid of telling the truth, then it is okay to talk back and seek death." ”
The two maids were lying on the same warm couch, and they were banging their heads against the edge of the couch, and the edge of the couch was already red. Both of them have put on their shirts, but the two pro-soldiers next to them are still teenagers, and the two maids have strong temperaments, and the two pro-soldiers are so anxious that they are sweating profusely, but they dare not touch them.
"Laugh at what! Someone just died in this house! Twilight glared at the two of them angrily, flicked her sleeves, and pounced on Zhao Liangyi in the face, raised her feet and entered the house.
The two soldiers at the door listened and couldn't help grinning.
"Hurry up, you kid has the face of the king of Hades, you can tell at a glance that you are not the master who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, you can do this thing best!" Zhao Liangyi said, and pulled Twilight Qing into the house again.
The general ordered him to knock people unconscious, he saw that the two little girls were delicate and frail, and their waists were beaten to the point that they were not in shape, and they only had half a life left. Therefore, he only lightly split twice, the person was fainted, but not long after he was carried to the side room, he woke up again, the two of them woke up and wanted to bite their tongues and kill themselves, fortunately he was quick to see and move, and stuffed something in his mouth, but these two girls were not worried, and they couldn't get up and hit the kang head with their heads, he wanted to be knocked unconscious, afraid of beating people to death, and wanted to ignore them, and was afraid that they would really hit him.
"Wake up again!" Zhao Liangyi pulled his collar irritably, very frantic, "Damn! Kill Hu people, the master is a fierce general, beating women...... W- What the fuck can you do with this? ”
"Didn't you get knocked out?"
"Aren't those two girls yet?"
Twilight's face turned blue when she heard this, she shook off Zhao Liangyi and asked coldly, "What's so noisy?" ”
Bu Xihuan's eyes were slightly cold, and when he heard Zhao Liangyi say it, it seemed that he wanted Twilight Qing to go in and do something, and he couldn't help but look strange.
When Twilight arrived at the door of the wing room, there was chaos inside, Zhao Liangyi came out of it sweating profusely, and when he saw Twilight, he suddenly saw a rescuer, and hurriedly dragged her inside, "You kid is here, hurry up!" You've always been ruthless, and it's better for you to do this! ”
Twilight passed the flower hall and went straight to the wing, Zheng Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, he didn't have time to hide from Twilight, wishing she would ignore him.
When Twilight Qing arrived in the front yard, Yin Zheng Guangqi of Shengjing Mansion yawned and sat in the flower hall to serve tea, he had already rested, and when he heard that something was going on in General Xuanwu's Mansion, he had to crawl out of the nest of the beautiful concubine and rushed over.
The next person's room was in the backyard, these people were too seriously injured, and they were instructed by Wu Yin not to move without authorization, but the spring night was cold, and it was too cold outside the flower hall, so they had to find a side room in the front yard nearby, and carried the person in first.
Bu Xisheng took poison and died, and the Song family took the kitchen servants and the little servants who served the food to the clothes and canes, and the two girls who specialized in dim sum were humiliated at first glance, and they shouted to save their names and festivals, and were carried to a nearby side room after being knocked out by Zhao Liangyi.
In the big kitchen, there is a housekeeper, three cooks, each in charge of Beijing cuisine, Yue cuisine, Jiangnan cuisine, two girls who specialize in dim sum, and two girls who are two girls, all of whom are rough. For example, the master can not make snacks for the mother-in-law and women, but the unmarried girl has a clean net worth, and the girl's hands are like onions and jade bodies, and the aristocratic men feel that the snacks in the hands of the girls are particularly delicate and pleasing to the eye, so the maids who serve the master's snacks in various provinces in Shengjing City have always been first-class, often envied by people, and rarely punished.
Bu Xisheng only has one wife and one concubine, there are few people in the house, there is only one big one and two small ones in the kitchen, and the porridge at night is made in the big kitchen.
