Chapter 841: Curtain call
After a few days, Jiu Ge'er just felt that he was full and had some strength, but he began to have diarrhea again, and he lost his energy.
Brother Jiu'er was lying alone in the room, looking at the gray and white tent roof, he knew that he couldn't escape this level......
Closing his eyes, two tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, thinking about the mother he had never met.
If my mother was still alive, would no one dare to do this to him?
It was getting dark outside, and there was no one to serve him, no one to bring him food, and no one to see him......
Brother Jiu sobbed and fell asleep.
In the small kitchen, Brother Shun was instructing the cook: "Make a bowl of supper for Brother Jiu'er, add more old ginseng, he is weak and needs to be replenished." ”
The cook answered, and said, "It's been stewed a long time ago, I don't believe you look at the fire." He asked Brother Shun again, "What kind of supper does the old lady want to eat today?" We have prepared a lot of things here, duck porridge, crab dumplings, shrimp oil and green silk noodles, and glutinous rice Lantern Festival. ”
Brother Shun felt a little hungry when he heard this, and said, "Take a bowl of each, and I'll send it to my grandmother and younger brother." ”
The people in the kitchen praised Brother Shun'er for his filial piety to his elders and his friendship with his brothers, and he heard Brother Shun smile.
Coming out of the kitchen with a food box, Brother Shun first turned around to his room, added something to Brother Jiu'er's medicine bowl, and then went to Brother Jiu'er's house, put the medicine that was fried for him on the table, and said, "Brother Jiu'er, come and take medicine." ”
Brother Jiu got out of bed, and was so hungry by the fragrance in the food box that he was about to drool, and couldn't help asking, "Big brother, I don't want to take medicine." Can I have a bite to eat? ”
Brother Shun said: "Of course not." Lang Zhong said, you are on fire. In addition to taking medicine, you have to be hungry for two meals. It's good to defeat the fire. ”
Brother Jiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, picked up the bowl of medicine and was about to drink it, when he suddenly smelled a fishy smell, and hurriedly turned his head away, and spit it out with a wow, which happened to be spit on Brother Shun'er.
Brother Shun jumped up all of a sudden, and said angrily: "You did it on purpose?!" Look at the good things you do! This is the shirt I just made this year, and I just got it on! ”
"Big brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll accompany you two pieces tomorrow! Brother Jiu hurriedly laughed.
This poked Brother Shun's heart again. Because Jiu Ge'er is richer than him. Now this family business is actually Jiu Ge'er's......
Brother Shun was upset for a while. Pushed Brother Jiu'er away and said, "You drink the medicine quickly, I'll go back and change my clothes and come back." His clothes were spit out by Brother Jiu'er, and he was so angry that his teeth itched, and he wanted to beat Brother Jiu'er. But thinking that Brother Jiu'er was about to go to the west, he might as well endure it, and it was okay if he wasn't in his house, so he took the opportunity to slip away.
Brother Jiu saw that Brother Shun was gone, so he hurriedly rushed over to open the food box that Brother Shun had prepared for Long Xiangye. Holding it and smelling it, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took out the duck porridge inside, planning to eat only a shallow bite. As a result, the more you eat, the better it tastes. He couldn't stop at all.
When he was able to stop, he found that the bowl of duck porridge had already been eaten by him for almost half of it.
Brother Jiu was frightened, and knew that it was his grandmother's supper. He's in trouble.
Fortunately, Long Xiangye and Brother Shun didn't wait to see him, and they didn't send him any envoys. Therefore he was the only one in the house, and no one else. I am not afraid of others to sue.
He looked around the room, and in a hurry, he picked up his own bowl of medicine on the table and poured it into the bowl of duck porridge.
The color of the two bowls of things is almost the same, and Jiu Ge'er's medicine also uses old ginseng, which is similar to the taste of old ginseng in duck porridge. So after pouring it in, except for the porridge is a little thin, it is simply seamless.
Brother Jiu poured all the medicine into the duck porridge, and then quickly put the duck porridge back into the food box, closed the lid again, stretched himself, and went back to his bed to sleep.
Brother Shun changed his clothes in his room, and after a while, he came to Brother Jiu'er's room.
Seeing the empty medicine bowl on the table, Brother Shun smiled very happily. He took the food box and went to deliver supper to Long Xiangye.
Long Xiangye was hungry, when she saw the bowl of fragrant duck porridge, she smelled the taste of old ginseng very strongly, which was very much in line with her heart, so she asked for duck porridge to eat, and everything else was eaten by Brother Shun.
After eating, Brother Shun took the food box out of the house, handed it back to the small kitchen, and happily went back to the house by himself.
……
In the middle of the night, the corner door of Luoyang Tiance Mansion was slammed open in fright.
Soon, Menzi, with a grim face, sent a surprising piece of news to the inner courtyard.
It didn't take long for the courtyard to be lit up one after another.
Xiao Shihe, dressed in soap-colored dark clothes, hurriedly went out of the inner courtyard with Du Hengshuang.
"What's going on?" Xiao Shiji asked Brother Yang as he walked.
Brother Yang'er's face was also very serious, and he said: "Just now, someone from my grandmother's side reported that my grandmother suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the night, and even her seven orifices began to bleed......
"Abdominal pain? Seven Tricks Bleeding? Well, why did you suddenly get sick? Du Hengshuang was extremely surprised.
“…… It is said that he ate a bowl of duck porridge at night. Brother Yang said in a deep voice.
Du Hengshuang was taken aback, and glanced at Xiao Shiji quickly.
Xiao Shiji's lips pursed tightly. He didn't speak, but turned around and grabbed Du Hengshuang's hand, and rushed to the Xiao family's old house with her.
When they arrived at the Xiao family's old house, they rushed into Long Xiangye's courtyard and saw that the people in it were all enclosed in a corner of the courtyard.
Xiao Shiji and the mother-in-law sent came over to report: "Grandpa and Mrs. Guo, everyone is here, and none of them have run away." ”
Du Hengshuang nodded, "Let's go see the old lady first." "They also brought Lang Zhong, the best man in Luoyang, with them.
When they entered Long Xiangye's house and opened the curtain, what they saw was Long Xiangye's hands tightly choking his throat, rolling on the bed, and constantly shouting "I don't want to go!" Don't go! It's all mine! This body is mine! ”
Lang Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and tried to diagnose Long Xiangye's pulse, but Long Xiangye suddenly let out a scream, sat up straight, and then fell backwards, his whole body convulsed twice. And he didn't move.
Lang Zhong took the wrist vein of Long Xiangye and only let it go. He retracted his hand and said, "The old lady has passed away." ”
Long Xiangye's appearance of dying on the bed was very scary. His face was covered with traces of blood clotting.
Xiao Shiji hurriedly covered Du Hengshuang's eyes with one hand. On the other hand, he said: "Brother Yang, send your mother out." Here I am. ”
Brother Yang glanced at it, held Du Hengshuang's arm and said, "Mother, come with me." As he spoke, he almost walked Du Hengshuang out of the house.
Xiao Shi and Tie blushed faces, first ordered their relatives to bring the Xiao family army over to block the entire Xiao family's old mansion, and then went to ask the servants and officials of the Luoyang government to come over to examine the body and investigate the case, and at the same time called the people they sent here to inquire.
A series of things were done in an orderly manner, and it was time for dawn. The matter has been investigated.
Most of the people here were bought by Long Xiangye after coming to Luoyang, and they were all death deeds, but the quality of the people was uneven.
The Luoyang government heard that it was Zhu Guogong's mother who had an accident, so he didn't dare to slack off, and while sending people to Chang'an to deliver the letter, he sent the best Yacha and Zuo to come over to check.
After the autopsy, he told Xiao Shiji that the old lady died of poisoning, and the poison was not difficult to find. It is a common rat drug on the market. But because it's too common, it's not easy to find clues.
Of course, he didn't know the situation of the Xiao family, but Xiao Shi and his side found out clearly.
“…… He's so bold! After listening to the news of his own return, Xiao Shihe slapped the table heavily. Furious.
When he was angry, a mother-in-law reported outside: "Grandpa Guo, Brother Shun is here." said that he knew who was the murderer of the old lady. ”
Xiao Shiji suppressed his anger and said lightly: "Let him in." ”
Brother Shun has known that his grandmother had an accident. It wasn't that Brother Jiu'er had an accident, so he was so frightened that he was in a hurry in the house. Later, I remembered that the medicine was originally for Jiu Ge'er. Now that he was eaten by his grandmother, he simply didn't do it, and decided to do it first, and came to his uncle to complain, saying that it was done by Brother Jiu.
But as soon as he came in, he saw the eyes of his uncle who were not angry and arrogant, and he was immediately so frightened that he was almost speechless.
Xiao Shiji glanced at him coldly, listened to him stammering and telling Jiu Ge'er, closed his eyes in pain, rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hand, and said lightly: "I thought you were confused for a while, just a mistake." Now it seems that you are unrepentant and intentional! - Someone! As he spoke, he ordered someone to search Brother Shun's room.
When the evidence was conclusive in front of him, Brother Shun cried, walked over on his knees and hugged Xiao Shiji and cried: "Uncle! Great uncle! Spare my life, I didn't mean to...... My dad only has one son......"
"Take it." Xiao Shiji waved his hand, the expression on his face was very sad. At this moment, even if his own brother begged for mercy, as long as it was the murderer of his mother, he would not let it go.
……
Brother Shun's case was concluded quickly. The human and physical evidence was conclusive, and he himself was frightened by the situation in prison, and he confessed all at once.
After the Luoyang government consulted Xiao Shiji, he sentenced Brother Shun to be sentenced to death according to the law.
When he was beheaded on the execution ground, Master Puji also stood in the crowd of onlookers and sighed: "I said that you are here to pay off your debts......
On the night after Brother Shun's beheading, on the mourning hall of Long Xiangye, the old lady of the Xiao family's old mansion, the figure of a white fox flashed and knocked down the butter giant candle on the mourning hall.
The long filial piety cloth was rolled up with a blazing fire.
When the people finally extinguished the fire, the mourning hall, the coffin, and the body of Long Xiangye in the coffin had been burned clean, and the land was suddenly as clean as a white earth.
Xiao Shiji did not rebuild the old lady's courtyard, but built a small Buddhist hall in this place to house the Buddha statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family, Long Xiangye's tomb is just a clothed mound, and he is buried with Xiao Xiangsheng.
