The Wind Rises Chapter 3 Meridian Broken Soul Incense

Jia Yuan main hall.

Jiafu is a local surname, the main hall is naturally spacious and luxurious, Jia Yuan from top to bottom thirty or twenty people standing in the hall does not seem crowded, all men and women are all faces, the old people and female relatives of Jiafu are even more sad, tears flowing. Obviously, everyone did not wake up from Jia An's accidental death, and for the entire Jia Mansion, Jia An's death was tantamount to the collapse of the rafters and the collapse of the building.

Wang Li sat in front of the hall, with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the people in the hall, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's falcon. The guards under his command were like seven javelins, standing straight behind them, all of them holding steel knives in their hands, their faces expressionless, and their eyes exuding a cold aura.

The shadow of the famous tree, everyone in the hall has heard about Wang Lidang's street sword to ambush Hugang bandits, and after the thief Cao Peng, Yiping Fuhugang, except for the old lady of Jiafu and Jia An's widow, everyone is silent, bowing their heads and not daring to look directly. Old Man Jia leaned on the chair with a gloomy face, his eyes closed, and Jia An's widow Jia He sat on one side with a child about four or five years old.

After glancing for a while, Wang Li looked at a maid in an emerald green skirt who was kneeling in front of him and sobbing in a low voice, and said coldly: "Your name is Xiaohe?" ”

"Yes, the maid is Xiaohe!" Xiaohe replied with a sob.

"You were alone last night taking care of Jia Jincao's food?" Wang Li looked at the little lotus and asked, "Little lotus girl, is there anything unusual about Jia Jincao recently?" ”

Xiaohe thought for a while, and cried in front of him: "My lord, the maid came to Jiafu eight years ago, and it has always been the maidservant's food and drink to serve the young master. The young master has not been any different from the usual, but in the past ten days, the young master will stay in the study every night until the third watch before leaving. ”

Wang Li nodded and continued to ask, "Then when do you usually send food to the young master of your family?" ”

"Because the young master has been busy until about three watches recently, the maids are all about two watches to make some soup for the young master to drink, and then the third watch will go to clean up the soup bowl."

"Then why didn't you clean up last night?"

Xiaohe suddenly walked over with his legs crawling, howling and crying, kneeling in front of Wang Li, and crying: "My lord, the maid lost his parents since he was a child, and when he was six years old, he was sold to Jiafu by Renyazi. But last night's maid didn't have anything to do, last night was particularly sleepy, sat at the desk and fell asleep, and when he woke up, the young master had been killed! ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Wang Li's eyes, and he nodded at Qian Yi, who quietly left for a moment, and quickly returned and whispered a few words in Wang Li's ear.

Is there smoke in the lotus room? After seeing the murderer, I think it's not enough to just rely on the seven machines to plant the blame, but also to cause evidence of Xiaohe's alibi? A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Li's eyes.

"Xiaohe, have you ever had a grudge with someone in the mansion?"

Although he just asked Xiaohe, a pair of sharp eyes also swept towards everyone, only to see that although everyone was silent, they all raised their eyes and looked at a man in front of them. Wang Li's heart moved slightly, but he saw that the man was less than seven feet tall, with a sallow face with rough edges and corners, and a black blue on his forehead, not the appearance of a Han person.

Knowing that everyone was focused on him, the man was extremely calm, and his expression was not half panicked, but with a trace of sadness.

Is this pretending to be calm or innocent?

Wang Li walked up to the man with interest and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Go back to your lord, your next person Jia Zhong!" The man bowed, but his words were still neither humble nor arrogant.

Wang Li approached Jia Zhong's side, stared at Jia Zhong in a daze, and asked, "Ben Cao Shicai asked Miss Xiaohe if she had ever made a feud with someone, do you know what it means?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Do you know what it means for everyone to look at you?"

"I don't know!"

"Oh! I don't know? Are you sure you really don't know? Wang Li glanced at everyone contemptuously, and said lightly, "That's because Ben Cao found out that Jia Jincao was not killed by the soup and medicine sent by the little lotus girl, but there is another mystery, and he was framed by someone, don't you know?" ”

"The villain really doesn't know!"

"I don't know? Ben Cao has already said that the little lotus girl was framed by someone, do you dare to say it so confidently? Since you have a grudge against Xiaohe, is it you who killed the young master of your family and then framed Xiaohe? Wang Li raised his eyebrows and shouted.

"What is the danger of adding sin? The adults have no evidence, and the villains are not convinced! ”

Towards Qian Yi, Qian Yi nodded, took out an unused incense, Wang Li smiled coldly: "What a dissatisfied!" Ben Cao specializes in all kinds of disobedience! This is the incense that Qian Yi searched out in your room, a bold thief, but you arranged the smoke in the little lotus girl's room? Still not from the truth? Do you know the law of this dynasty: those who kill should pay for their lives! ”

Jia Zhong finally raised his head and glanced at Old Man Jia, sighed, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, but the sadness was even stronger: "The villain is at the disposal of the adult!" ”

Everyone in the hall was in an uproar for a while, and everyone was in a hurry.

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

"Thanks to the head of the family who trusted him so much, he married his own son for him. The people on the grassland are really white-eyed wolves and can't be raised! ”

"Shut up!" There was an angry shout in the crowd, but I saw that Old Man Jia staggered to his feet, looked at Jia Zhong with a look on his face, and then glanced at everyone, everyone was silent, then turned to Wang Li, bowed and said, "Everything but there is an adult's judgment, what are you shouting about?" ”

"My lord, the young master of my family was killed by the villain, I am ashamed of the trust of the head of the family and the young master, the villain is sorry for you!" After listening to Old Man Jia's words, Jia Zhong suddenly changed his normality, and the miserable color was completely gone, he closed his eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said hoarsely.

"Sure enough, it's this dog thief!"

"The dog thief has already admitted it!"

Jia Zhong's words re-stirred in the hall, and everyone talked about it again.

But when he saw the old man Jia walking in front of Jia Zhong, he smashed Jia Zhong on the back with a stick, and reprimanded: "You dog thief, if it weren't for me, you would have fed the wolves in the snow more than ten years ago, you said, why did you take revenge and cut off my Jia family's incense?" You dog thief will give me back my life! After that, Old Man Jia had already pounced on Jia Zhong, and greeted Jia Zhong with a punch on his back.

Jia He on the side had already turned his face away.

This Jia Zhong was silent at first, not silent, not arrogant, but after Wang Li broke it, he admitted it again, but Old Man Jia and Jia He couldn't bear it, Old Man Jia's sticks and fists seemed to be fierce, but they all fell on the side of his back.

It's really a dog, this is the revenge of killing the son and the husband, it seems to be a show!

"Case closed? Death? Are you waiting for Ben Cao to be the kind of pickled and splashed talent who cares about people's lives? Jia Zhong, since Jia Jincao was killed by you, what is the motive for the crime, the murder weapon and the process of the crime? A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Li's eyes, and he looked at the two of them coldly, seeing that Jia Zhong looked uncertain, he turned to Jia Zhong and sneered, and said, "Since Jia Lao has determined that this Jia Zhong is your murderer, why don't you greet Jia Zhong at the critical place?" ”

Old Man Jia and Jia Zhong looked at each other, but they sneered and shouted: "In this case, according to the laws of this dynasty, those who kill the lord will not be forgiven!" Qian Yi and Sun Cai, quickly take down this person who betrayed the lord and killed the lord on the spot! ”

"Your Excellency!"

"The revenge of killing the son is not shared! Old man Jia, could it be that Jia An is just your moth, and this Jia Zhong is your biological son? ”

"Your Excellency!" Old man Jia was in tears, and he fell and sat on the Hu chair.

"Old man Jia, Ben Cao respects you for Jia Jin Cao Aweng, and he doesn't want to torture you, you still don't come from the truth, don't blame Ben Cao for waiting for you to be imprisoned, and the punishment will be served!"

Old man Jia's eyes were closed, tears were pouring out, and he sighed for a long time, and said gloomily: "My lord, An'er is the only son of the old man, and the old man and his wife are thirty years old, and they have been raised all the way with hard work. An'er has been studious and progressive since she was a child, quite knowledgeable, and when she grew up, she was loved by Lord Shou of the county to serve as Jin Cao Peng, the old man can only say that it is the ancestor of my Cao family, and he burned high incense in his last life, how can he not feel sorry for my son? ”

"In that case! So why should you hide the truth? Don't you want to avenge Jia Jincao? ”

Wang Li's words pierced Old Man Jia's heart like a sword, and Old Man Jia seemed to have suddenly aged dozens of years, tears welled up, and he said dejectedly: "My lord, this is the life of my Jia family!" My lord, let's go, the old man should have never given birth to An'er! ”

The revenge of killing the son is not shared!

Although this Jia Zhong is not the real murderer of Jia An's case, after all, Jia An is the only son of Old Man Jia, and Jia Zhong is obviously also an insider, why is Old Man Jia indifferent, but still tries his best to maintain the truth about Jia An's death and try his best to cover it up?

Is this murderer an important person in Jiafu? But Jia An has no brothers, who else in the mansion can live more than Jia An? Or is Old Man Jia worried about something? But Old Man Jia is over the age of six, what is there to worry about? What could be more important than the revenge of a son?

Wang Li turned to Jia Zhong, his eyes were like torches: "Jia Zhong, you say!" ”

"My lord, the young master was killed by the servant, the servant coveted the appearance of the little lotus girl for a while, and the young master knew it, and the young master blamed the servant, and the servant was not angry and killed and blamed the little lotus!" Jia Zhong kowtowed a few times to Old Man Jia, Jia An's widow and the child in his arms, and suddenly straightened up and ran to the pillar under the hall.

"Bang!"

The bloody scene was not seen, Wang Li kicked Jia Zhong to the ground, and he only felt very strange in his heart, this old man Jia was unwilling to avenge his son and kept silent, who is the person Jia Zhong would rather defend than die?

Old man Jia? Tiger venom doesn't eat children, definitely not!

Jaan's widow? For Mr. Jia, where is a daughter-in-law worthy of her own son? Definitely not!

Wang Li shook his head, walked down the hall and glanced at the audience, but saw that the child in Jia An's widow's arms was blank, just staring at everyone sluggishly, it is said that this child is four or five years old, and he should understand some things, but this child has neither the sadness of losing an adult, nor the agility of other children.

Child? Child!

Wang Li's heart was shocked: If it weren't related to this child?!

But this child is only four or five years old, and he is sluggish, how can he be a murderer of his father? Is the murderer threatening the child's life?

Wang Li looked at the child and felt that he had gradually cleared the fog, and the truth might be right in front of him.

Secretly sighed, stepped forward and touched the child's forehead, only to feel that the child's forehead was as tight as a soldering iron. The child looked at Wang Li with a frightened face, hugged Jia He's waist and abdomen tightly, screamed and buried his head in Jia He's chest, as if Wang Li was a ghost in the underworld, he trembled all over, and didn't dare to stick his head out again.

"Qian Yi!"

Qian Yi nodded, walked straight to the kid to check his pulse, frowned slightly, and asked, "Madam, can you take a look at Xiao Langjun below?" ”

Hearing Qian Yi's call, Jia He's numb eyes seemed to turn and hugged the child over, the child was still screaming in horror, and his limbs were struggling.

Qian Yi took out a silver needle and stabbed it in the child's Zhongren, Yongquan, Quchi and Shaoshang acupoints, and squeezed out a few drops of blood, the blood was like ink paint, and it smelled like salted fish. Qian Yi sniffed closely, and then pushed back and forth a few acupoints on the child's back, and the child gradually calmed down and slowly fell asleep.

Seeing that the child's breath gradually calmed down, the eyes of Old Man Jia and Jia He contained an indescribable shock and excitement, Jia He seemed to come to life, his cheeks were red, and his eyes were full of desire and heat, as if Qian Yi was her first love who had been looking for many years, and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Qian, can you save my family Ning'er, right?" ”

"Madam, don't get excited, and let me ask a few questions!" Qian Yi checked the pulse again, thought for a while and asked, "Madam, how many days ago did your family Ning'er get sick?" ”

Seeing that Jia He nodded, Qian Yi then asked, "Is Ning'er a son every time she is sick?" Every time I get sick, my hands and feet always twitch and my whole body is hot? And with a flurry of panic? ”

Listening to the sound of "bang", the old man Jia had already turned up from the seat, and knocked over the seat, the sharpness of the action made everyone dumbfounded, where is this still the old man who shook the rope just now, and he was clearly a young and sturdy young man!

Jia He's tears poured out of his eyes like a fountain, Jia handed the child to the nurse, knelt down and hugged Qian Yi's leg with a "snap", and burst into tears: "Mr. Qian, what you said is not bad at all, since you know about my Ning'er's illness, you must also have a way to save my Ning'er, please save our Ning'er!" The surviving Jia He has kowtowed to you! After that, Jia He howled and cried, and "banged" on the ground.

"Madam, please get up first!" Wang Lixu helped him, motioned to the maids in the hall to help Jia He up, and asked, "Qian Yi, do you know what kind of illness this is, and what can you do?" ”

Qian Yi's eyebrows were tightly locked, he looked at Ning Er, and said with unbearable eyes: "My lord, Ning Er is not suffering from illness but poison!" ”

Poisoning!

Wang Li was shocked, a four- or five-year-old child was going down to the river to catch fish and shrimp, and when he was carefree to dig out bird eggs on the tree, he was actually poisoned, why was the thief so mad? It seems that Jia Ning's poisoning must be related to this Jia An's death, this thief is really sinister!

Looking at the ecstatic Old Man Jia, the resurrected Jia He family, Wang Li sighed, Jia An is dead, and there is only one grandchild left in the huge Jia Mansion, no wonder Jia He and Old Man Jia dare not track down the real murderer, no wonder that Jia Zhong would rather bear this murderous felony!

waved his hand to the servants in the hall, and when everyone walked out of the hall, Wang Li motioned to the rest of the guards Sun Cai, Zhou Kang, Zhu Tong, Tang Qing and others to hold their hands everywhere, and then turned to Qian Yi and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"My lord, I can be sure that Ning'er is highly poisoned!"

"What poison?"

A trace of reminiscence flashed in Qian Yi's eyes, and he gritted his teeth word by word:

"Meridian Soul Breaking Incense!"
