Chapter 118: Death by Poisoning
Wen Xiaoxing muttered in disbelief, how could she believe that the book left by Wen Youfan would actually be coated with poisonous phosphor.
The most incredible thing is that these books have been turned over countless times by Wenyou, and he didn't even notice it.
Even after being stored in the dark bookcase for so long, the poison on it still hasn't gone away at all.
If Zhong Zizhu hadn't turned these books out to dry, maybe they wouldn't have discovered the secrets in the books until they died.
It may also be that Wen Youfan is blind to death, and in the dark, let Zhong Zizhu ghost send the gods to dry those books that are not meaningful at all.
People are doing it, the sky is watching, it's not that they don't report it, the time has not come.
I spoke in such a low voice that almost no one else in the family heard her.
Wen Anning looked through those books again in confusion, "Isn't it all dried during the day, why do you have to take it out at night?" Isn't it possible that you plan to do it again tomorrow? Little four, don't toss people at night. ”
thought that Wen Xiaoxing was making trouble unreasonably again, causing complaints from his family.
Just as Wen Xiaoxing lowered her head and pondered, she shouted when she saw Wen Anning and Wen Yixing looking through it.
"Don't move! Poison in the book! ”
Wen Xiaoxing's screaming today made Wen Anning and Wen Yixing frightened and hurriedly threw the book in their hands aside.
"Little Four, what do you say is poisonous?" Wen Yixing took a deep breath and asked.
"Little ...... Fourth, do you blame me for calling you to move books, so you deliberately said that it was poisonous and scared me, right? Wen Anning walked over in a panic and wanted to pick up the book.
As soon as he took a step, Wen Xiaoxing yelled again and called Wen Anning, "Stop!" The books are really poisonous, don't touch them! ”
Wen Anning sat on the ground completely frightened, Wen Yixing stepped forward to help her comfort, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, don't be afraid of Xiaosi." ”
Zhong Zizhu's hand holding the candlestick kept trembling, and the coat on his body was also violently shaken by his body and fell to the ground.
"Little Four, you're talking nonsense in the middle of the night, but these books are all left by your father, if it's poisonous, will it be your father who stayed behind and deliberately harmed you?" Zhong Zizhu trembled and blamed the business.
Zhong Zizhu couldn't believe that a man who had shared the bed with him for so many years would do such a thing of poisoning the book and mutilating the children in the family.
Is it just because Zhongzi didn't give birth to a son back then?
"How so, your dad's book, why did he do this? Is it because of you? Zhong Zizhu sobbed and looked at Wen Xiaoxing.
Wen Xiaoxing helped Zhong Zizhu to sit down and comforted, "Eldest sister, you take the second sister to wash your hands, remember to use soap, and a mother should also wash her hands again." ”
"Got it."
Wen Yixing took the frightened Wen Anning to wash his hands, and then took the water soaked in soap horns and asked Zhong Zizhu to wash his hands.
At this time, Zhong Zizhu had a pimple in his heart, and the facts were in front of him, and he was prejudiced against Wen Youfan in his heart.
"I don't wash, if this is your father's idea, I would rather be poisoned, you wash away the regret in his heart." Zhong Zizhu turned his head sadly.
Wen Xiaoxing was helpless, grabbed Zhong Zizhu's hand and soaked it in the water, and washed her hands in person.
"Mother, you have been in a husband and wife relationship with your father for so many years, and my father didn't abandon you because of me, after so many years, how could my father want to poison you with this." Wen Xiaoxing wiped the water on Zhong Zizhu's hands.
Wen Yixing poured out the water, and then used a stick to pick up the books that had been thrown on the ground.
"And how do you explain that?" Zhong Zizhu was puzzled.
"The poison in this book will only poison people to death after they accumulate time and enter the human body. My father never touched these books before his death, so how could my father expect my mother to touch these books after his death? Even if I could expect it, my mother wouldn't be able to touch these books every day. ”
Wen Xiaoxing patiently explained to Zhong Zizhu, and then tore a few pages of the useless book and soaked it in water, extracted the poison in the book, and then fed it to the birds they raised not long ago.
In less than half an hour, the bird was whimpering and lying motionless in its cage.
After Zhong Zizhu and the others saw it, they were all frightened and hugged the people around them tightly.
"Even so, it can't be ruled out that your father made this poison." Zhong Zizhu still had doubts in his heart.
After all, Zhong Zizhu did not have one person left for Wen Youfan to inherit the lineage.
At that time, this situation was not to be divorced, or Wen Youfan suddenly figured it out when he was dying.
Worried that after his death, Zhong Zizhu was uneasy about his duty and followed others, and everything was unknown, so he did things in the book.
Since discovering that the book was poisonous, Wen Xiaoxing guessed that it might be related to the people of the Wen family.
It's just that she is worried that Zhong Zizhu will always have a heartfelt affection for the people of the Wen family because of Wen Youyou's relationship.
Wen Xiaoxing thought about it for a long time, and suddenly realized, "I remember following my father when I was a child, and when I saw him reading, I always liked the habit of licking my fingers to turn over the book." ”
"Yes, my father's problem, I also told him, but when he reads the book, he reads it very seriously, and he simply forgets my reminder, does this have anything to do with poison?" Zhong Zizhu nodded in affirmation.
This further confirmed Wen Xiaoxing's guess, "That's right, they are all dragged on the book, Dad will turn the book with his fingers, and the poison will stick to his fingers, and if Dad wants to turn the book, his fingers will keep putting it in his mouth." In this way, Dad is equivalent to eating the poison directly. ”
Zhong Zizhu and a few people tried it according to Wen Xiaoxing's statement, and it was indeed Wen Youfan who ate the poison into his mouth.
"How so?" Zhong Zizhu shouted in surprise.
"Dad won't be stupid enough to eat the poison himself." Wen Yixing couldn't believe it.
"Of course not, the only explanation is that someone put poison in the book and let my father eat it, so it can better explain that my father died of poisoning, and he didn't die of disease at all." The more Wen Xiaoxing spoke, the more angry he became, and his voice couldn't help but rise.
Zhong Zizhu was full of resentment, and her sad tears couldn't stop falling, just now I thought it was Wen Youfan who assassinated her, but in the end, I didn't expect Wen Youfan to be assassinated by others.
She choked and fainted from crying several times, but Wen Xiaoxing kept comforting her.
"Mother, don't be sad first, the more at this time, the more calm we must be, the poison in this book is an indisputable fact, didn't my mother suspect the death of my father?" Wen Xiaoxing forced Zhong Zizhu to ask.
At this time, Zhong Zizhu must be allowed to speak out by herself, otherwise she will still be unbearable to the Wen family.
"Speaking of which, your father's death back then was indeed a little different, your grandfather said that our family was unlucky, and he didn't let me see your father. But I went to see it quietly, and your father's lips were faintly black. Zhong Zizhu collected his tears, recalled the past, and said in a choked voice.
"That's right, Dad often licks his fingers and flips through the book, so the poison reaction on his mouth is more obvious, I just don't know if Grandpa won't let you see Dad, whether he knows the reason for his death and is afraid that his mother will know, or just because he doesn't like his mother."
Wen Xiaoxing took a deep breath, sighed for a long time, and told Zhong Zizhu the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
Speaking of Wen Youfan's assassination, Wen Xiaoxing deliberately exaggerated and made the matter serious, making Zhong Zizhu believe that someone had poisoned and assassinated Wen Youfan.
"But these bookstores are all kept by themselves, and others can't touch them, so who has the opportunity to poison the books." Wen Yixing muttered in a low voice.
Zhong Zizhu thought about it for a long time, "There is another person who can also touch your father's books, your uncle often borrows the yamen to have something, so that your father's study is quiet, and he will often come over to deal with things." ”
"Uncle? No, it won't. Wen Yixing shook his head in disbelief.
Wen Xiaoxing racked her brains and thought for a long time, and with Zhong Zizhu's words confirming it, she could basically be sure that it was Wen Yunhao who poisoned the book, but she couldn't find his intention yet.
"Dad died, and the evidence of poison standing in the book was also turned out by us. What else will he not do, don't forget, he didn't let us see his father back then, and he was also playing right and wrong in front of the old man, maybe he was afraid that we would find out at that time. ”
Wen Xiaoxing was a little angry, pointing to those poisonous books and shouting, more of a grievance for Wen Youfan's departure.
Zhong Zizhu's mind was in a mess, and he slowly walked to the bookcase and followed those books for a long time.
Even if there are 10,000 unwillingness in his heart, he doesn't believe that the siblings who are connected with Wen Youfan's flesh and blood will be the ones who will harm him.
But the facts are in front of him, and Zhong Zizhu slowly accepted it.
Wen Anning was not angry and squeezed out two tears, "I'll go to the yamen to tell Wen Yunhao and ask him to pay for his life." ”
Saying that, Wen Anning didn't know where the courage came from, so he stood up and rushed out.
Wen Xiaoxing hurriedly ran over to stop her, "Second sister, you are so timid, I didn't expect that there would be times when I was brave for my father." ”
"They killed my father, and I must seek justice." Wen Anning was so angry that Wen Xiaoxing almost didn't stop.
You really can't easily provoke an honest person, otherwise, he will become an incalculable devil.
"It is important to redress my father's grievances, but after such a long time, my father has also become a pile of bones, and it is impossible to sue Wen Yunhao just because we find more evidence in these books." Wen Xiaoxing patiently comforted.
"Isn't this poison proof?" Wen Anning shouted.
"Yes and no." Wen Xiaoxing pulled Wen Anning to Zhong Zizhu's side and forcibly sat her down, "This is evidence of killing my father, but after many years, Wen Yunhao said that this is the poison we put on it ourselves, to frame him, and it is impossible for a lawyer, and then instead of avenging my father, we will be accused of falsely accusing others, and we may be punished." ”
Wen Xiaoxing let out a long sigh and told Zhong Zizhu and the others almost all the knowledge of the law that he knew in an easy-to-understand manner.
They didn't understand what they heard, and felt that what Wen Xiaoxing said made sense, and everyone clenched their fists in indignation and endured it for the time being.
"Do you just watch him continue to bully us every day like no one else?" Wen Yixing asked calmly.
Wen Xiaoxing hugged Zhong Zizhu and solemnly assured a few people, "With me here, I will definitely seek justice for my father, I will not let this kind of person who harmed my father still live shamelessly, and I must let him taste the taste of being poisoned." ”
When Zhong Zizhu heard this, he knew that Wen Xiaoxing would fiddle with medicinal materials, and poison had not been separated since ancient times.
She thought that Wen Xiaoxing was going to harm Wen Yunhao in the same way.
"Little Four, don't do anything stupid, it's a crime to kill someone. Wen Yunhao does something wrong, he has his own fair and legal sanctions, and with the yamen in charge, you can't do anything illegal. Zhong Zizhu grabbed Wen Xiaoxing's hand worriedly and told him repeatedly.
"Don't worry, mother, I know how to measure." Wen Xiaoxing comforted Zhong Zizhu.
Zhong Zizhu was hit one after another, and he was worried that Wen Xiaoxing was impulsive, and tears of sadness kept rolling down.
"Don't worry, mother, Xiaosi will handle it well, she is so sensible, she won't let us worry." Wen Yixing wiped Zhong Zizhu's cheeks dry, and also comforted him.
In the past, Zhong Zizhu endured all kinds of difficulties for the Wen family because of Wen Youfan.
She always felt that as the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, even if the Wen family did not recognize it, she still had Wen Youfan's blood relationship, and she would do her duty as a daughter-in-law.
But now, knowing that Wen Youfan was killed by the Wen family, Zhong Zizhu decided not to retreat anymore and was no longer bound by the word family affection.
Even if she wants her life, Zhong Zizhuye will definitely fight to protect Wen Xiaoxing and the others.
Several people settled Zhong Zizhu, collected their emotions, and slowly closed their eyes and fell asleep.
