CH.040 Haoran is on an errand and the black worm is grotesque

Seeing that Manna was drunk, I helped her to the bed and covered her with the quilt. Just now she was shouting Moro's name, and now she finally fell asleep peacefully. In fact, in my opinion, Manna is not as terrifying as Hades said, but I am worried about Yi'er, worried that she will strike again.

The next day

Everyone in the Zhang family returned to the house, and the sudden death of Master Zhang made the whole family grief. And Yaoyao has already reported to the official, and the government has brought the scholar to the yamen and put him in prison for poisoning the master of the Zhang family. At the same time, the government also sent patrols to look for clues.

"It's strange, this white wood leaf is also a medicinal herb, how can it cause death? There must be something strange in this. It was none other than Zhang Haoran who spoke.

It is said that this Zhang Haoran is also full of poetry and books, and he is thoughtful and logical. Not long ago, I went to the yamen to apply for an errand job, and I was hired. The first case he encountered in his life was actually his grandfather. While grieving, I want to find out the truth of the matter.

He searched for every detail, and finally found an important clue in the basket. A handful of shiny white leaves. Why is it glossy? Because the scholar did not have an umbrella when he came, the rain would more or less soak into the basket.

And although the white leaves are relatively fresh when picked, they have turned yellow because of the rain and shelving. But why is this leaf still so fresh? Could this be the key to solving the case?

"How's it going? How's it going? It was Yang Patrol who spoke, "Yang Patrol, I don't know if this is a discovery, it's this leaf." Zhang Haoran pointed to the basket, and Yang Xunyu leaned down and habitually picked out a leaf from it.

But this action startled him. The shiny leaf withered away at once. And so fast. "This?" Yang Xunzhu was stunned, and Zhang Haoran also went to get a piece, and the result was the same.

"Does this leaf wither at the slightest touch? Or is it that the leaves are poisoned? After Zhang Haoran finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the room.

Since the arrest of the scholar, the scholar has been desperately crying out for injustice. said that he didn't know that the leaves of the herbs were poisonous, and the herbs were picked the day before yesterday, so in order to sell them while they were fresh, he braved the rain to send them to Master Zhang. Even if it is wet, it will not affect the medicinal properties.

"If you look at it this way, it's not that the leaves themselves are poisonous, it's that they're poisoned." Yang Patrol said. Zhang Haoran nodded and said, "But it doesn't rule out that it was the poison born by that scholar, but what kind of poison is this?" If it is a scholar's poison, it is also unreasonable. At most, he wants to make some money, and the two families have no grudges, how can he harm his grandfather's life? ”

Yaoyao was a little hysterical when she heard Haoran's words. "Haoran, maybe the scholar saw that our family was rich in money, and he didn't say anything about it. You're going to avenge your grandfather. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll do my best." Hao Ran responded, but he knew that there must be something hidden in this case.

He came to examine the body, but he couldn't find out why. First of all, if you are poisoned, your lips and fingers will turn black and purple. And this Master Zhang is different from other people who have died of poisoning, his lips and complexion do not look like they were poisoned. And he also found a problem. There are no scars on Mr. Zhang's body. Moreover, he deliberately scratched the deceased's wrist, and the blood was very red and flowed out very quickly. Not at all like the blood of the dead. What's even more terrifying. The blood that his hand touched instantly coagulated and turned dry black.

It's so weird, I've never seen such a grotesque corpse, so I have to give up.

A week had passed, as there was no other evidence of the scholar's innocence. Under pressure from above, in desperation, the yamen tortured the scholar to extract a confession, and was finally forced to draw a prisoner. But the scholar's master came to the yamen and surrendered himself. He said that he had caused the poison. Eventually, the scholar was released, and his master was sentenced to be beheaded at a later date. The Zhang family is naturally a stone falling to the ground. buried Master Zhang.

And of course, I was waiting for the appearance of the poisonous spirit son in Manna Mansion.

At night, Manna settled me to sleep. Motioned for me to rest early. I lay on the bed and closed my eyes. Of course, I knew she did it on purpose, so I had to pretend to be asleep.

Halfway through, a dark shadow flashed through the door. It seems that this figure should be the poison spirit son. I fell asleep immediately and went out of my body. Then peek out through the closed door. Two voices came from the room, and I deliberately kept it low so that they wouldn't see my soul through the window paper. I crouched down and peered through the crack in the door.

"Young Master, I didn't expect your Huitian powder to be so effective and kill people invisibly." Man Na said admiringly, it seems to be completely different from what I thought, she used Yi'er's hand to kill her own father, and she actually acted like nothing happened, but how to explain those tears?

"Haha, Manna, Manna, I didn't expect you to be really ruthless. Even I sighed to myself. The young master, who was called, said.

"Since I can follow the young master, I can deny the six relatives. But young master, I have a question. "Man Na bows his head." Oh? What's the problem? The young master asked.

"Young master, you said at the beginning, as long as Yi'er helps me take revenge. You can turn her into a pill and eat her. I mean, now that she's done, is it okay?" asked Manna, kneeling.

"Your revenge has been avenged, but Yi'er's own revenge has not been avenged. It's not time to eat her now, and the heat isn't enough. How? Manna, are you distressed? After the young master finished speaking, he actually took out a small box, and when he opened the lid of the box, a small black worm peeked out of the box.

The young master then pinched the little black worm and forced Manna to swallow it. Manna fell to the ground and convulsed, only to recover for a moment. "Young master, let you command." Manna's eyes were glazed, and I unconsciously began to feel heartache. It turned out that Man Na was deceived by this young master and lost her mind.

"Hahaha, I only need to eat the muddy soul of Yi'er. I can train to become the Lord of the Demon Dao with all kinds of poisons. Hehe, when the time comes, let alone the demon world, even the underworld, I can dismantle it for him. "It turned out that he was the poison spirit son, thinking of this, I left quietly, and the soul instantly returned to the body.

After a while, Manna opened the door and walked into the room. She glanced at me as I was asleep and walked out of the room reassuringly.

At this time, Yi'er woke up sweating profusely. She dreamed that Manna was covered in small black bugs that gnawed at her bones. And suddenly Manna's scene is gone. And then there was grandpa, who was looking at him with a smile, but the smile was getting more and more mad, and the corners of his mouth were grinning to the root of his ears.

The dream made her gasp for breath, and with a cough, a black worm was coughed out by Yi'er. Frightened, she noticed that the worm was crawling from the bed to the ground as if it were looking for food, and then burrowed out the door.

Yi'er looked curiously, only to see the worm crawling into her mother's room.
