Chapter 484: Poisonous Tea
When Qin Niang heard this, as long as she had a pot of tea, her eyes suddenly narrowed, she looked at Dean Xu and asked, "Dean Xu, in the library building, have you seen the pot of tea that Wan Lao drank?" ”
Dean Xu recalled for a moment, nodded and said: "The tea is there, and after I found out that the person died, I asked people to surround the library building and prevent people from entering, so the pot of tea should still be in its original position, but after checking the corpse, I came to the conclusion that I died of heart disease, and the pot of tea was ......."
Dean Xu was a little unsure.
The cause of death has been determined, the body has been carried out, it stands to reason that the scene can be cleaned up, besides, it is a library building, and the students still have to go there to read books, even if they have to change places, it is not a matter of one or two days now.
"If it is really poisoned, the deceased may not have experience in it, but if the pot of tea is still there, then everything has a direction." As soon as Qin Niang's voice fell, Dean Xu was so anxious that he stood up from his position, and ordered the chief outside, asking him to go and find the pot of tea immediately.
As long as it was something that Wan Lao used last night, he brought it all.
The chief replied and ran away quickly.
He also knew that Dean Xu was in a hurry, so he didn't dare to delay.
After a while, Chang Sui came back again, he carried a tray in his hand, which contained the set of tea sets that Old Man Wan had used every day, and looked at Dean Xu with a somewhat hesitant face and said, "Dean, when I arrived just now, the water in this pot had been poured out by the mother-in-law who was in charge of cleaning, and it was also flushed." ”
"What?" When Dean Xu heard this, he was immediately not calm again.
It's already been washed, isn't there nothing left? How else to check?
At this time, Qin Niang said in a low voice: "When you found Wan Lao's body in the morning, what was he doing at that time?" ”
Chang Sui didn't understand why she suddenly asked such a question, but after glancing at Dean Xu, after getting his instructions, he still replied honestly: "It seems that he was copying some classics, he should have copied halfway, and he fell on the table and died." ”
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are all those things packed?" ”
Chang Sui replied: "When the little one went, those things were still scattered on the table, and no one cleaned them up. ”
As he spoke, his eyes became more and more puzzled as he looked at Qin Niang, and he didn't understand why this beautiful woman asked such irrelevant questions.
However, Qin Niang didn't speak at this time, she just picked up the tea, took a sip of tea, and looked like she didn't care about the two things after she finished her words.
Chang Sui was a little unhappy all of a sudden, he didn't recognize Qin Niang, he only knew that all the people in this country were men, and ordinary women couldn't come in casually, even if they wanted to discuss knowledge, they would go to the Wenqu Academy next door.
Such a big stinger came to their country, and it was polite that he didn't kick her out, and she actually had a trick on him.
This Chang Sui is obviously used to seeing those polite student scribes with Dean Xu on weekdays, and his vision has been raised all of a sudden, so he has never seen someone who does not follow the rules like Qin Niang.
"Chang Mu, you go and call the woman in charge of cleaning." Dean Xu naturally saw the doubts and dissatisfaction in his Changsui's eyes, but he didn't explain it to him in detail, and only asked him to find someone.
Qin Niang seemed to have asked two irrelevant questions just now, but he could see from the way she interrogated Mrs. Wang just now, the lady Gu Chen married was not the one who came here to drink tea and watch the excitement when she was idle, and if she asked, it must be full of deep meaning.
Chang Mu didn't understand, but he did.
Chang Mu was assigned a job, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and soon went out again, and after a while, he brought in a thin and capable woman.
It's brought in.
The woman obviously didn't expect to be called here, but when she saw so many people in the room, and they all looked gorgeously dressed, she suddenly shrank on the ground in fright, and her eyes were full of panic.
For a woman whose emotions are so obvious, Qin Niang will not show mercy, she looked at her lightly, and then looked at Dean Xu on the side.
Dean Xu didn't dare to underestimate this woman anymore, and after receiving her gaze, he immediately asked, "Mother-in-law Yu, why are you so anxious to take the pot used by Wan Lao to rinse?" ”
Mrs. Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "I just thought that the library building has been unsealed, and the scene needs to be cleaned, so I took the pot of tea to rinse." ”
This answer seems normal and flawless. happy
But Qin Niang looked at her with a smile and asked, "What Wan Lao used before he died, is it possible that you are going to use it for others after you wash it?" Aren't you afraid that your diaphragm should be flustered? ”
Generally, the things that the dead used before their lives are taken and burned, like these things that cannot be burned, those are thrown away, and no one will use them again.
Therefore, as soon as Tang Mu said that someone was washing the tea set, she was very puzzled in her heart, even if she wanted to clean up the scene, shouldn't she first clean up the things that were half copied on the table, and finally take out these things that did not belong to the library and throw them away?
Therefore, there must be something wrong with this mother-in-law.
"This ...... I was going to throw it away, but there was still some water in it, so I poured it out and flushed it with my hands, just a habit. Mrs. Yu said, glanced at Dean Xu on the side carefully, and asked, "Dean, I just washed a set of tea sets, what's wrong?" ”
Dean Xu looked at her with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see her inside through her epidermis, and his tone was quite meaningful: "Mrs. Yu, it is said that the one in your family still has some friendship with Wan Lao, and you can come here to do chores, but you still owe Wan Lao's help." ”
When Mrs. Yu heard this, a trace of panic instantly appeared in her eyes, and then, she lowered her head and said eagerly: "Dean, the one in my family does have some friendship with Wan Lao, but we don't say a word on weekdays, so I don't know that Wan Lao has heart disease." ”
A word fell, and the room was quiet.
Everyone's eyes looked at Mrs. Yu in unison, and even Mrs. Wang, who was kneeling on the side and trying her best to reduce her sense of existence, couldn't help but be surprised: "Wan Lao died of heart disease? How do you know? ”
Only then did Mrs. Yu realize that she was quick to speak for a while, and said that she was bald.
She really wanted to slap herself at this time!
However, it was impossible to turn back time at this time, so she could only lie: "I, I heard what people said." ”
Dean Xu's eyes shot sharply at her, and he asked in a stern tone, "Who have you heard of?" In addition to Jing Zhaoyin and Qi Zuo, the only people who know about this matter are those in our house, who are you listening to? ”
Yu Pozi's face turned pale, and she was shocked by Dean Xu's roar, but her mind was still fighting between heaven and man, and she hesitated to confess.
Obviously, those students outside only knew that Wan Lao had died, but they didn't know the specific cause of death.
It was precisely because Xu Lao didn't know how to explain the cause of death to Wan Lao's family that he called Dean Qu over to discuss, but Yu's mother-in-law revealed that Wan Lao died of heart disease.
To say that she has no ghost in her heart, no one present believes it.
Chang Mu didn't let him out after he brought people in, and he thought about whether Dean Xu still had instructions for a while, so he simply stood aside and listened.
"Mrs. Yu, if you don't tell the truth, I'll let Jing Zhaoyin's people come and take you away now, I believe that Jing Zhaoyin always has more means than me in the matter of trying the case." Xu Lao said, picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea.
At this time, he was not in a hurry, anyway, the person had already caught it, she said it was clear whether she said it or not, and then contacted the matter that Gu Chen said just now, thinking that this Yu mother-in-law also received the benefits of others.
As for whose benefits he received, that's none of his business.
He has nothing to say to Wan Lao's family, after all, he is not the one who has done something wrong, he must have obtained such an easy fortune, and that Mrs. Wan will not be able to make trouble again.
"Don't, dean, I said, I said......" When Mrs. Yu heard that she was going to be sent to the official, where could she still bear it, she was like a bamboo tube pouring beans at this time, and said everything, "Someone gave me a bottle of food and asked me to put it in Wan Lao's food, but the person only said that it was a medicine that could make people stroke, and did not say that it would kill people!" ”
Mrs. Yu was crying all over her face at this time, and the panic on her face was real, and it was no longer the disguised appearance she had when she was first brought in.
"Why did you want to harm him? Isn't he befriended the man in your family? Dean Xu asked.
"What a fart!" When Mrs. Yu heard this, she immediately took a sip, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, "If it weren't for him, the job of guarding the library should have been my man's, and it was he who used despicable means to make my man miss the opportunity to try out, and besides, my man is like this now, it is all his fault." ”
"Did he think he could get me a job pretending to be a good guy and get me a job to smooth out the things he did? My man, too, was a man who had read books, and he had taught and educated people, but now he had broken his leg from a ladder and had to sit in a chair for the rest of his life, and the man who had harmed him had this decent job. ”
"Why? Why can his grandson be sent to the academy for enlightenment, while my grandson has to be kept in captivity at home, and he can't even afford better pen and paper? The man told me that he could let me vent my bad anger and make him pay for the pain of being paralyzed in bed and unable to do anything, so I did it. ”
After Mrs. Yu said these things in one breath, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and in her eyes, there was no longer the uneasiness and panic at the beginning, on the contrary, because years of resentment had been released, her face was now full of relief after unburdening.
"Dean, that surnamed Wan has not been punished for doing such a bad thing, and now that he is dead, he only deserves it, do you really want to arrest me?"
