"Go on, go on." Ning Junwu felt that he was not ordinary stupid today, and he couldn't lift his head when he was looked at by that glance.

"It's just a robber's statement just now," Xia Xiaodong said idly, "You might as well think about it, what did that husband say?" ”

"How?" So Ning Junwu didn't guess on his own, but asked.

The husband's account is that after seeing the strongman, the woman was so frightened that she didn't even care about her husband for her life, and threw herself into her arms in front of the robber. Even after the incident, she was afraid that her husband would pursue her, and begged the robber to take her away. So the husband finally couldn't stand it anymore, pressed the fear in his heart, and angrily rushed forward to beat the adulterer ****, but was killed and injured by the adulterer. ”

Xia Xiaodong said, looking at Ning Junwu with a smile.

Ning Junwu touched his chin, this time he was well-behaved, he didn't rush to make a statement, he thought about it and asked, "What did that woman say?" ”

Smart people are quick learners.

The woman said that the robber was interested in lust, and that the husband was not to be relied upon, and that he was unfortunately defiled by the thief. Later, the robber left satisfied, and her husband was furious with her, so she took out a talisman dagger and asked her husband to kill her. ”

Who knew that her husband refused to do anything, and only laughed at her for refusing to cut herself. As a result, she fainted in anger, and when she woke up, she found that the dagger was stuck in her husband's body. I don't know if it was a hand that moved in a fit of anger, or if there was someone else after fainting. ”

"Well, I'm done this time." Xia Xiaodong declared.

It is a simplified and adapted version of Rashomon.

There is always a reason for a classic to be a classic. Rashomon is the classic of the classics.

Ning Junwu lowered his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

He could naturally think that Xia Xiaodong would not tell him a story in vain.

There are three people and three accounts in this story.

"And what about the truth? Who said it was true? Ning Junwu raised his head and asked.

"There is no truth." Xia Xiaodong said softly: "Or, what you want to believe, what is the truth." ”

Or why is credit important? It is because if a person has no credit, even if he says the truth, no one will believe it. Facts that no one believes can be true.

Ning Junwu naturally thought of the death of his mother, Princess Yan.

The death of Princess Yan is actually very simple.

Very normal day, after a hearty dinner, died.

Have a good meal, and then die.

So what's going on?

One of the theories is that a concubine tried to curry favor with the princess and offered a special product of her hometown, and this specialty seemed to be in conflict with a certain food on the table, and as a result, the princess was killed.

Later, the concubine, the other concubine who encouraged the concubine to curry favor with the princess, from the cook who stir-fried the vegetables to the maid who served the table, all the people in the entire dinner chain were all disposed of.

Of course, externally, the princess lost her postpartum recuperation and unfortunately died of illness.

Anyway, as long as the child has not been born for more than ten years, it can be counted as the head of the 'postpartum'.

"If you think about it, my mother back then, maybe ...... Not poisoning? Ning Junwu asked in a flurry tone.

"I'll tell you about the poisoning again." Xia Xiaodong sat up straight, drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat first, and then popularized the knowledge of poisoning to Ning Junwu.

Generally speaking, it is toxic, but it can actually be divided into nerve poison, blood circulation poison and mixed poison. However, such a complex principle is still not to be said.

Xia Xiaodong said it as simply and concisely as possible - it is really not easy to use technical words.

So Xia Xiaodong started by eating.

The history of human growth can be described as the process of discovering and identifying 'what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten', and paying a considerable cost of trying to determine what can appear on the table.

If a person wants to eat something in his mouth, if he has never seen it, or if it is rare, then he must think, can this thing be eaten? -- Those who refuse to think this way have been eliminated by the torrent of evolution and are almost extinct.

For example, if you have a plate of brightly colored poisonous mushrooms, you should always hesitate before putting down the chopsticks - those who do not hesitate, see the previous paragraph, they have no chance to pass on this 'no hesitation' gene.

If you can, you must find someone to try it. Princess Yan has this condition. Even if you take a step back and don't let people try it, if you want to eat it, you must taste it and won't eat too much.

Well, let's talk about poisonous things.

The entrance seal the throat is stained with the food that kills immediately, it doesn't seem to be, and there is also a legend. That is, a certain dose is required. Leaving the dose to say poisoning, that's playing hooligan.

"But if you eat puffer fish, the fish liver, fish eyes, and fish skin are quite poisonous." Xia Xiaodong told Ning Junwu: "So it's best not to eat it at all." It is estimated that such a thing will not appear in the palace at all. ”

Ning Junwu really hadn't heard of a puffer fish at all.

Another important thing is the smell of poison.

Poison is really not tasty. Arsenic will have a metallic taste in the mouth, strychnine is very bitter, and aconitum is simply medicine, even if it is mixed in medicine, it can be eaten. Therefore, the word 'filling' is often used to kill people with poison, not only because the other party is unwilling, but also because it is difficult to eat.

Dishes that can be poisoned must have a strong flavor in order to cover up the poison.

If you think about it this way, you can understand why there are not many people who have been assassinated by poisoning in history. Most of those who were poisoned were 'killed' by doves, well, they were hung by pouring a pot of poisoned wine (pay attention to the dose).

Although the history of this time and space is different from the time and space that Xia Xiaodong experienced before, on the whole, the conclusion can be directly deduced.

"You seem to know a lot......" Ning Junwu's expression was a little dull.

"Didn't we say a deal?" Xia Xiaodong has already thought of a reason: "Then of course I have to do my homework." All of this is well documented and can be found in medical books. If you have the heart, you can see it for yourself. ”

"Thank you." Ning Junwu was a little moved.

"It doesn't matter. Think about it first, and if there's anything I haven't made clear, ask me again. Xia Xiaodong said that he had a big deal and decided to pause and eat something to cushion his stomach first.

"So, it shouldn't be poisoning." Ning Junwu looked a little lost.

I have been thinking about it in the direction of poison, and suddenly I found that it may not be, which is inevitably confusing.

"It's too early to draw such conclusions." Xia Xiaodong hurriedly swallowed a few vinegar peanuts in his mouth and said softly, "Have you forgotten?" The princess died suddenly after eating, which is just a saying. ”

"It's like, what is written in the history books, is it true?"

Maybe your mother did have a good meal back then, but then she was poured a pot of cooking wine and died. Who knows?!
