Chapter 497: A Suspicion Appears
"This, this since, since it is Madame's design, then, that ......" Lu Kuan explained embarrassedly, but found that his excuse slapped him directly in the face.
"Hehe, it seems that Lu Gongzi still knows this pot, come on, try Yu Gongzi's beautiful bar." Geng Xiaofan pushed the kettle stopper to Lu Kuan again.
"I, I'll use this anyway." Lu Kuan was a little flustered, and quickly raised the wine glass in front of him.
"What's the matter, Lu Gongzi is afraid that this wine is poisonous?" Geng Xiaofan smiled.
"How, how could it be! It's all wine in a jug, how can it be poisonous? Lu Kuan's voice trembled a little.
"Then why doesn't Gongzi Lu dare to drink it?" Wang Jingyan also asked, her eyes were cold.
"This, this ......" Lu Kuan reluctantly picked up the wine glass, hesitated, but didn't dare to put it to his mouth.
"Okay, don't be embarrassed, let's talk about why you have to kill Yu Gongzi!" Geng Xiaofan put the wine glass on a few cases.
Lu Kuan's hand shook in fright, and the pot stopper fell to the ground.
"You! It's really you who poisoned Yu Gongzi! Wu Zhang saw Lu Kuan's abnormality and got up suddenly.
"If it's not me, how could I hurt my brother-in-law!" Lu Kuan got up in a panic, took a step back, fell to the ground, and swore kowtow.
"Mr. Wu!" Geng Xiaofan had a rough guess that he wanted to deceive Wu Zhang. "A few days ago, Lu Gongzi asked you for arsenic, why did you give it to him? I also want to know, where did your arsenic come from? ”
"My lord! I use arsenic to cure diseases, how could I have thought that he would use it to harm people! Wu Zhang said, walked to his bookshelf, rummaged through, and took out a bronze incense box.
When I opened the incense box, there was a carefully prepared incense powder inside. Geng Xiaofan took it and sniffed.
Wu Zhang was a little nervous, "My lord, this is ordinary agarwood, but arsenic is added." You be careful. ”
"With arsenic incense, what kind of therapy are you? What kind of disease is cured? Geng Xiaofan couldn't see why, and gently put down the incense box.
"The villain studied hard day and night when he was a child, and fell into a hidden disease, and he always had a splitting headache every night, and he couldn't sleep for a long time. Later, he met a miracle doctor and taught the villain this recipe, which had a miraculous effect, and it has been used for nearly ten years. Wu Zhang carefully put away the incense box and explained.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Arsenic can also heal! Wang Jingyan is not calm.
"Yes! Poison is also medicine, maybe arsenic is still a good medicine for detoxification. Geng Xiaofan believed Wu Zhang's explanation, and asked, "Tell me about the situation that day." ”
"That day, Lu Gongzi was chatting in my room, and when he saw my incense, he heard about this effect, and he was very curious and asked me for it. I didn't care, so I gave him a box. But he said that he was not used to the smell of agarwood, so he just asked for a packet of arsenic, saying that he would go back and make it himself. ”
"Just the two of you? Is there anyone else present? Geng Xiaofan interjected.
"It's just me."
"No one else came in during the period?"
"Huh! How did the adults know, a maid came in to bring water, but she just put down the kettle and left. "Wu Zhang is a little strange.
"Go on!" Geng Xiaofan just confirmed whether what the "informant" little maid said to him was true, and he didn't bother to explain it to Wu Zhang.
"Then there was nothing. Soon I heard that Yu Gongzi had been poisoned by arsenic in prison, and I was a little frightened, so I buried the rest of the arsenic under the begonia tree in the yard. Wu Zhang said, looking at Lu Kuan again. Lu Gongzi, is it really you who poisoned you? If you dare to do it, why don't you dare to do it? And you have to be wronged by the old decay! ”
"I didn't! I didn't wronged you, and I didn't poison you! Lu Kuan saw that Wu Zhang suspected that he had "exposed" him, and quickly defended himself.
"I don't really believe that it could be Lu Gongzi who poisoned him, after all, Yu Gongzi is his brother-in-law, why does he have to kill someone?" Geng Xiaofan pouted, wanting the two to bite each other.
"Yu Gongzi's forgery of hexagrams is his idea! He was afraid that the matter would be revealed and he would be implicated, so he killed people! Wu Zhang became excited.
"Oh! It turned out that forging the hexagram was Lu Gongzi's idea. Geng Xiaofan looked at Lu Kuan.
"You're involved, too! Even if you fail, you won't be able to escape. You are still Teacher Wang Yu, your sins are even greater, and you have more motives to poison! Lu Kuan didn't give up, and bit back.
Geng Xiaofan looked at Wu Zhang again.
"I just persuaded Yu Gongzi to persuade An Han Gongzi to respond to the order as much as possible, but I didn't let him fake the hexagram." Wu Zhang retorted loudly.
The two quarreled desperately.
"That's it! These words should be kept and said in Dali Temple! Geng Xiaofan was silent and watched the two of them bite for a while, and he roughly understood, and shouted to stop the two.
"Dali Temple!" Both froze.
"Mr. Wu, no matter what, the arsenic that poisoned Yu Gongzi is yours, and you can't get rid of it." Geng Xiaofan said calmly, and then turned to Lu Kuan, "As for how you poisoned, this official is also clear, since you don't want to admit it in front of Mrs. Wang." The official took a little trouble to figure it out and then explained it to her. ”
"Mrs. Wang, I'm sorry, these two in your mansion, this official can only take them away first." Geng Xiaofan said to Wang Jingyan officially.
"Lu Kuan! You'd better confess right here! Avoid the pain of the skin and flesh of Dali Temple! Wang Jingyan was a little surprised when she saw that Geng Xiaofan suddenly stopped asking and wanted to take the two away. And, she desperately wants to know the truth.
"Madam, I, I, I really, really ......" Lu Kuan crawled towards Wang Jingyan, as if he wanted to beg her to protect herself, but he couldn't say a suitable reason.
The two were taken away, and Wang Jingyan was still a little puzzled, "Brother Xiaofan, why did you suddenly stop as soon as you asked some eyebrows?" ”
"Sister Jingyan, this is not Dali Temple, I can only ask them some questions. Now that some things are basically clear, the official trial and evidence collection of Dali Temple is now. Geng Xiaofan explained.
"Then why don't you hurry back and go back to the trial? Be sure to dig out the real culprit behind the scenes! Wang Jingyan was a little anxious, urging Geng Xiaofan to hurry back to Dali Temple.
"Hey! What's the hurry, I'm still hungry, so many delicious ......" Geng Xiaofan pretended to be greedy and let Wang Jingyan push him, but he just didn't get up.
"I know that you are alone in Chang'an now, you can't eat well, wait for Yu'er's affairs, I will specially invite you, you can eat whatever you want!" Wang Jingyan was really anxious.
"Alright, alright! Calm down! Geng Xiaofan pulled Wang Jingyan by the hand, "It's not difficult to interrogate them, but I'm not sure they can tell their true motives." Take them away today, maybe you will stir up the pool of water in your house, and maybe you can catch some small fish and shrimp. ”
"Do you suspect that there are their accomplices in the house?" Wang Jingyan understood at once.
Geng Xiaofan unhurriedly tore off one of the chicken legs of the roast chicken on the table, stuffed it to Wang Jingyan, and tore off the other one himself, explaining while gnawing, "I don't want it!" Behind this incident must be Wei Bao, but it is really not easy to figure out the secret behind it. ”
