Everyone looked at the second lady, and Du Shaofu reacted at this time, this Sun Shou was on an errand in Mafu, and he grabbed medicine to accompany the abortion pill during the second lady's pregnancy, which was too abnormal.

Ma Ruowen explained: "This medicine does not mean that it is an abortion pill, it may be that he decocted it himself, or he grabbed the medicine for others." ”

Lin Mo shook his head and called, "Little San, bring your things in." ”

At this time, Xiao San was carrying a large flower pot, and a withered plant came in inside, which was the withered honey fruit.

Ma Zhiyuan asked, "What are you doing with this withered honey fruit?" Is there something wrong with this honey fruit?"

"The honey fruit is fine, but there is a problem with the soil." With that, Lin Mo dug up the soil and spread it on the ground.

Then he took a cup of tea and poured it on it, and with Lin Mo's movements, the black-brown soil gradually revealed its original appearance, which were some plants that had been cut and some things that I didn't know what they were.

When Du Shaofu saw it, he curiously stepped forward to pick it up and smell it, and a faint smell inhaled into his nasal cavity.

"It's medicine"

Lin Mo nodded, "These are the remaining medicines except for the abortion pills, Xiao San, do you remember when this honey fruit died?" ”

Xiao San thought for a while: "About two months ago, this honey fruit gradually withered, and it has not been seen well. ”

Lin Mo nodded: "With so many medicines buried underneath, the rhizome has long been corroded to death, and it will definitely not survive." ”

Lin Mo then asked Du Shaofu: "Do you want me to find out the corresponding medicinal materials according to the prescription one by one." ”

Du Shaofu shook his head: "This prescription can't be used without one medicine, and now this medicine is buried here, no matter what kind of medicinal material it is, it means that this medicine cannot be decocted by people." So what you say is reasonable, there is something wrong with this medicine. Lin Mo took a look at Du Shaofu, this person was really witty, and he could understand it at one point.

Lin Mo was about to say something, but Ma Ruowen said: "Lin Mo is right, but I asked Sun Shou to catch this medicine, and I want to beat the child in the second lady's belly." I am the eldest son of the Ma family, and if a woman related to the criminal minister is conceived with the flesh and blood of the Ma family, it will only do a hundred harms to the Ma family in the future. It's a pity that the second lady noticed it and didn't succeed. ”

Only then did everyone know that the second lady was the niece of a prisoner, and that it was a felony of treason to have had private dealings with the Turks. Although today Zi is benevolent and has not implicated the second lady's family, but with this identity, it will be very unfavorable for the Ma family in the future, if someone in the Ma family wants to be an official, it is very likely that he will not be able to enter the official career because of the identity of the second lady.

It seems that Ma Ruowen's approach is still understandable. Du Shaofu looked at Ma Ruowen and the second lady, and seemed to be persuaded by Ma Ruowen's reason.

But Lin Mo was not affected, because he knew that things were not so simple.

Seeing that Lin Mo was about to speak, Ma Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "Since this is the case, this matter will be clarified, let's do it today, Lin Mo, you go to see Ruo Aya, she has been thinking about tea and dinner these days, and she is sluggish, you go and enlighten her." ”

Lin Mo knew what Ma Zhiyuan meant, but if he didn't make it clear today, he wouldn't have a chance in the future, and he might hurt the people around him. Ma Ruowen breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.

At this time, Du Shaofu spoke: "I see that Lin Mo still has something to say, you continue." After saying that, he returned to his seat and sat upright, exuding a kind of majesty on his body.

Lin Mo was happy about the case, this Du Shaofu was really upright, if someone else listened to Ma Zhiyuan's words, he wouldn't talk and let the matter pass, so Lin Mo had to take this opportunity to explain the matter.

Lin Mo sorted out his thoughts and continued: "Let's talk about Steward Wang's recipe again, there is a place in this recipe that is worth thinking about, that is, a medicinal herb. After speaking, he pointed to the medicinal herbs that were marked.

"Letter Stone?"

"Yes, it's the letter stone."

Lin Mo nodded. The so-called letter stone is also called frost stone, of course, the name of the previous life is trioxide gentry, and the most common name is arsenic.

Arsenic is highly toxic, but it is also a medicinal herb, which is generally used in Chinese medicine to treat common diseases such as scabies, as long as you pay attention to the dosage, it will not endanger your life.

Of course, these doctors know, so every time they want to prescribe this medicine, they are cautious, and the dosage is very small, but the letter stones of five or six pairs of drugs together are already a lethal dose.

Lin Mo just mentioned this question, and Du Shaofu and Ma Zhiyuan immediately understood.

"You mean that this medicine was made into poison and then poisoned Sun Shou." Lin Mo nodded.

"But how did he poison him, that Sun Shou was poisoned at night, no one was beside him at this time, how did he poison him?"

"To be exact, this poison has already fallen during the day, but it just happens to be poisoned at night." At this time, Ma Ruowen's eyes were full of fear, but he lowered his head and didn't let people see it.

"Oh? How is that poisoned? Du Shaofu looked at Lin Mo curiously, Lin Mo shouted, and Zhou Fu walked in with a batch of cloth.

"The poison is on this."

Du Shaofu was very puzzled, Lin Mo explained: "That person Sun Shou was injured on his hand and was separated by a wound, the poisoner, sprinkled the poison on this cloth, Sun Shou held the cloth in his hand, the poison entered the body from the wound, and Sun Shou died of poison." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the dark red pattern, which was actually the blood mark left by Sun Shou's injured hand when he held the cloth.

Du Shaofu asked curiously, "How do you know that this cloth is poisonous?"

Lin Mo pointed to a corner that had been bitten by rats and explained, "When the guy cleaned up Sun Shou's house, he found a lot of dead rats, but there was no rat poison in the room, and this cloth happened to be bitten by rats, so I speculated that this cloth was poisonous." ”

"Who gave this cloth to Sun Shou that day."

Du Shaofu asked, Ma Ruowen was a little panicked and said: "I asked Steward Wang to give this cloth, Sun Shou is getting married, this is a congratulatory gift to him." But I really didn't know it was poisonous. ”

The second lady spoke: "Maybe Steward Wang bought the medicine himself, and then poisoned Sun Shou, there may be some contradictions between the two." There was some truth in the second lady's words, which made Du Shaofu a little puzzled and didn't know how to explain it.

Lin Mo continued, "Then let's talk about the cause of death of Steward Wang, Shopkeeper Wang was poisoned and killed. ”

Seeing that Du Shaofu and everyone were shocked, Lin Mo then explained: "I went to dig out the coffin of the shopkeeper Wang yesterday, opened the coffin for an autopsy, and examined the bones of the housekeeper Wang, although the body has long been decomposed, but it was also found that the throat bone of the housekeeper Wang is black, and the stomach is already black, I found a mouse to bite his stomach a few times, and soon the mouse died, so I concluded that the housekeeper Wang was poisoned to death." If you don't believe me, look at this. ”

As he spoke, he took out something wrapped in a white cloth from his bosom. It's a strange thing when it spreads out.

Lin Mo explained: "This is the throat bone of Steward Wang, with obvious black, this is Steward Wang's stomach, which is also black, if adults don't believe it, I can find a mouse to demonstrate on the spot." ”

Everyone looked at Lin Mo as if they were looking at a monster, Lin Mo couldn't do this alone, but he did it, and his face didn't change.

Du Shaofu and the others became more and more disgusted when they listened to Lin Mo's explanation, everyone turned pale, and the second lady retched directly. When everyone heard that they were going to demonstrate on the spot, they immediately shook their heads: "No, no, this is too ethical, Lin Mo is really bold, aren't you afraid of going to hell like this?" ”

Lin Mo shook his head: "If you don't find out the truth, Steward Wang will not be able to turn a blind eye, this is sacrificing a little for the truth, and Steward Wang should be able to understand." ”

Listening to Lin Mo tell all this flatly, Du Shaofu and the others were shocked, Lin Mo was simply a monster in their eyes.

"Then who poisoned the king's steward?" Du Shaofu asked.

"It's very simple, Steward Wang poisoned Sun Shou with a cloth, and the person who poisoned him must know about it, no matter what, it is the people around Steward Wang and Sun Shou. In addition," Lin Mo paused, "Steward Wang was not poisoned, but put into a state of suspended animation, and it was not until that fire that Steward Wang was burned alive." ”

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"My lord, please see, this is a section of Steward Wang's trachea, which can be washed out with clean water to flush out some black earth-like dirt, which is caused by the accumulation of smoke and dust in the inhalation of the fire, if Steward Wang has already died, the fire occurred after death, and Steward Wang died after that, how could this smoke and dust be sucked into the trachea, so after the fire, Steward Wang did not die." Du Shaofu listened and nodded.

"Who is so vicious? If poisoning fails, they set fire to kill people. ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he was a little dilemma in his heart, and he didn't know whether to say or not to say the next words, after all, Lin Mo hadn't testified against anyone until now, and finally Lin Mo made up his mind and said, "Young Master, do you have anything to say." ”

Although Ma Ruowen's face was pale, he still pretended to be calm and said: "What does this have to do with me, you ask me this because I suspect that I killed him?"

Ma Zhiyuan seemed to guess what Lin Mo was going to say next, and hurriedly drank: "Lin Mo, have you drunk too much today, don't talk like this." Someone came to see him out of the house. ”

"Slow!" Du Shaofu shouted, "Today's matter is to be investigated by the official, Lin Mo, you go on, and the official will make the decision for you." ”

Lin Mo's heart also settled down when he heard this, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, I have to say.

"Young Master, have you lost something, such as the one in the purse sachet?"

Ma Ruowen's face turned even paler for a short time when he heard this, and when he saw Lin Mo being so direct, he had to nod, "It's because I lost a sachet, what's the problem." ”

"Do you know where to lose the right one."

Ma Ruowen shook his head: "I don't remember it for a long time. ”

Lin Mo took out a somewhat tattered sachet from his cuff, "Is it this?" ”

Ma Ruowen lost his voice when he saw it: "Where did you get it from?" ”

"From the hands of the dead king's steward."

Lin Mo ignored Ma Ruowen's reaction and continued: "If it was as expected, before leaving the water that day, you went to the place where the body of Steward Wang was parked, but I didn't expect that Steward Wang was not dead, and there was a fight with you, your sachet was inadvertently obtained by Steward Wang, you knocked Steward Wang unconscious, and set a fire to the whole house to destroy the corpse. ”
