Entering Yonghe Courtyard, the old marquis sat in the hall and asked, "What the hell is going on, let's talk about it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cui Shugang knelt on the ground crying, gently laid his son's body flat in front of him, pointed to his black and blue face and said, "Second uncle, my poor child was killed by my cousin-in-law, you have to make the decision for me!" Hou Ye did not speak, but ordered a guard to take his token to the yamen to find a servant and a doctor.

The old marquis ordered them to conduct an autopsy, only to see the two of them tossing at Cui Jinrui's corpse, opening their eyelids for a while, opening their mouths for a while, and pulling a few hairs down to take a closer look, and finally came to a conclusion, the two reported to the old marquis that the child did die of highly toxic arsenic, this poison is very powerful, the measurement is small will damage people's internal organs, and a large dose will kill immediately.

The two asked if there were any things that the children had eaten and wanted to take them for inspection, Cui Shugang took out the pastries he brought with him and handed them to the doctor, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and opened them to see that they were indeed pastries often made in the big kitchen in the Hou Mansion. The doctor and the servant crushed the pastry, examined it carefully, and called for a small earth dog to be caught and gave it the pastry, and after eating a piece it wagged its tail and wanted to, and when it was given a second piece of pastry, it actually bled from all its parts, and its whole body convulsed, and it fell to the ground and died.

Cui Shugang saw that the dog was dead, and seemed to remember what his son looked like when he died, and couldn't help crying and said: "Rui'er was like this when she died, exactly like it." ”

The doctor said to the old Hou Ye: "Hou Ye, there is indeed a poisonous arsenic in this pastry, but the amount added is very small, if a puppy of one or two catties eats two pieces and dies, according to this calculation, this two-year-old child will probably die after eating thirty or forty pieces." ”

Cui Shugang cried and said: "I see, Jin Huan, Jin Lang doesn't like to eat sweets, so he escaped." My sister Liu didn't dare to eat more in the past two days, only Jinrui loves to eat pastries, so she ate more, but I didn't expect that on the third day we walked on the road, he began to have convulsions all over his body, coma, and his whole body became hot and red, we quickly stopped and went to the doctor, but still couldn't save it. A doctor said that my family Ruier was poisoned, and we took everything Ruier had eaten to him for examination, and the problem was in the pastries. These pastries were prepared in the house when we left, and when a grandmother from a large kitchen brought them, she also said that they were made for us by the young lady, so that the children could eat them as snacks on the way. ”

The old marquis glanced at his daughter-in-law Shi Huiyun, who was dragged in by Cui Shuyan and was embarrassed, and asked, "What do you want to do with the book?" ”

Cui Shugang turned his head to look at Shi Huiyun with hatred, and said viciously: "I want her to die, one life is worth one life!" ”

Shi Huiyun's face was pale, and she pretended to be calm, but her whole body had begun to tremble, she trembled so much, the little marquis who grabbed her hand knew this best, he only felt a sadness in his heart, and glanced at her with disappointed eyes. Shi Huiyun didn't know the disappointment of the little marquis, she was just trembling constantly and using all her strength to suppress this tremor and calm herself down.

The old marquis frowned and asked, "Shugang, why did you see that Jinrui's death was done by the Shi family?" What evidence do you have? ”

Cui Shugang pointed at Shi Huiyun with his finger and said: "It's this poisonous woman who poisoned the pastries for the children and wanted to poison a few children." Second uncle, you say, who in this house can't get along with the children and wants the children's lives? He looked at the old marquis and said coldly, the resentment in his eyes became thicker and deeper.

The old Hou Ye glanced at Mrs. Hou, and Mrs. Hou Ye said: "Good nephew, maybe you are mistaken, my daughter-in-law I know that she will not do such a thing, isn't it!" Huiyun? Mrs. Hou looked at Shi Huiyun, a smile appeared on her face, and her eyes pierced Shi Huiyun's eyes like knives.

Shi Huiyun seemed to have just begun to wake up at this time, knelt down and cried: "Mother, I haven't done it, I don't know, it's not me." ”

Cui Shugang's tone was cold: "Poisonous woman, you lied, you did it, and you still want to deny it, my family Jinlang accidentally knocked down your sister Yun, you hold a grudge and want to retaliate, but why are you so vicious, you actually want the child's life as soon as you make a move." The more he spoke, the more excited he became, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes seemed to bulge out, and the whole appearance was terrifying, like a hungry ghost from hell who had come to ask for his life.

Shi Huiyun was so frightened that she shrank back to the little marquis, and cried and said: "I don't, it's not me, uncle, it's really not me, how could I be, children are just playing, how can I take it to heart!" ”

Mrs. Hou Ye said to Cui Shugang: "Look, your cousin-in-law also said that it wasn't her, Shugang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" ”

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Cui Shugang said angrily: "Then go and call the mother-in-law in the big kitchen to ask if it is the pastry that this poisonous woman asked her to give." When we left on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, it was a kitchen mother-in-law who came to deliver pastries, and we brought people to the first trial. "It is worthy of being a county order, Cui Shugang immediately grasped the point.

The old marquis nodded and asked, "Shugang, which mother-in-law in the kitchen is it, can you see it clearly?" ”

Cui Shugang said: "It's a fat woman, I don't know who her name is, at that time she and my wife were talking on the side, and then I asked my wife, she said that the woman was a cook in the big kitchen in the house, and she listened to the young lady's instructions to deliver pastries." However, I took a look at her at the time and found that there was a large raised black mole on the right side of her neck. ”

The old marquis then called the two guards on the left and right to go to the big kitchen to find a mother-in-law with a big black mole on his neck, and the hall suddenly fell into extreme silence, only Shi Huiyun was still crying quietly, and the others were all pale and had their mouths closed.

After a while, the two guards came back, empty-handed, and the old marquis couldn't help asking, "What about people?"

The two guards glanced at each other, and one of the older ones said, "Master Binghou, the mother-in-law with a big black mole on her neck has been found, but it's just ......."

"Just what?" The old marquis asked.

The guard said, "It's just that this man is dead." ”

"Dead? How did he die? ”

The two subordinates went to the big kitchen and didn't see the mother-in-law with a big black mole on the neck, so they found the kitchen steward Lu, and the steward Lu said that there was a mother-in-law with a big black mole on the neck in the kitchen, and it was a mother-in-law on a small stove, surnamed Tang, known as Tang Pozi. It's just that he hasn't seen Tang Pozi today, so Steward Lu found many people to ask, and everyone said that he didn't see Tang Pozi today, so the big guy found someone, the big kitchen, the lower room, the inside and out, and finally on the bedside table in her room, she lay on the bed with her upper body, and her lower body was lying on the ground, and she was already dead. ”

In this way, the big guys were stunned, why did they say that they wanted to confront her, and she died?

At this time, Shi Huiyun cried louder, as if she was wronged.

The old marquis had no choice but to say to Cui Shugang: "Good nephew, that mother-in-law is dead, I think I committed suicide in fear of sin, and your child can't be saved, so let's do it, how about the second uncle give you 50,000 taels of silver, and then try your best to find an official position in the capital?" ”

Cui Shugang said hatefully: "No need, Master Hou, I'm afraid that the mother-in-law didn't commit suicide in fear of crime, she must have been poisoned by this poisonous woman, killing people and killing people." My family Jinrui was killed by your family, our father said, if you don't deal with this poisonous woman and give us an explanation, our two families will be cut off, and from then on, they will be cut off. After speaking, he resolutely walked out holding Cui Jinrui's corpse on the ground, and the bad old man with strong martial arts followed him.

After Cui Shugang left, Mama Ye quietly came in and wanted to pick up Shi Huiyun, who was still kneeling on the ground, but the old marquis suddenly asked loudly: "Shi, you tell me honestly, did you do this?" ”

The old marquis's expression was terrifying, his face was pale, and coupled with the stern tone that he had never had before, Shi Huiyun was frightened all of a sudden, but she tried her best to maintain her composure, her face was pale, and she still said: "No, no, I didn't do it, it's not me, it's not me." She was nervous and kept repeating.

Seeing her say this, the old marquis's face suddenly eased, he let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said tiredly: "Go down, I'm tired." ”

Mama Ye hurriedly helped Shi Huiyun up, Xu was kneeling for a long time, her hands and feet were cold, slightly stiff, unable to move for a while, leaning on Mama Ye tightly, Chunli also came up to help when she saw this, and helped her back to Luoyue Xuan together, and the little marquis followed behind several people with a calm face.
