He bowed: "My lord, according to the condition of the deceased's swollen body, it has been three days since he died, and because he soaked in the well water, he did not decay quickly!" ”

Luo Hui nodded, the soldier took an old man, Luo Hui asked him, "Did you find it?" ”

The old man saluted: "Yes, big lord, the grass people found out when they were fetching water this morning, and they were so frightened that they immediately reported to the official!" ”

"How did the deceased die?" Luo Hui asked again.

"The deceased was thrown into a well after being hit by arsenic!" ”

"Arsenic? Ask the pharmacies to see if anyone has been buying arsenic lately. Luo Hui paused: "Also, the person who can be poisoned may be someone close to him, what about his family?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, at this time he is a bachelor who lives alone, a scoundrel who likes to gamble, and has no family!"

"That's weird!" Luo Hui thought for a while: "Let's go, go to his house and have a look?" ”

The group soon arrived at the deceased's home, not far from the well.

In a dilapidated house, the house is surrounded by walls. Luo Hui walked around the room and went to the kitchen again. only to find that the rice in the rice jar was still full.

Luo Hui grabbed a handful of rice, and there was some clarity in his heart: "I can probably guess who the murderer is!" ”

Wan Bi didn't believe it, he looked at Luo Hui and thought he was bragging: "Please also ask the adults to give advice, and the lower officials will listen to you!" ”

Luo Hui smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Lord Wan, the deceased, as a bachelor, although this place is dilapidated, it is so well organized, and even the stove is very clean, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Wan Bi was reminded and also reacted: "It's weird? But what does this have to do with the murderer? ”

"My Lord Wan, a bachelor who gambles like this will not be like this, there was a person living in this house, and it was a woman!"

Wan Bi nodded: "My lord is right, then that woman is the murderer!" ”

"It's likely, after all, most women kill people with poison, and the murderer threw the body in a well not far away, which shows that she is a woman who doesn't have much strength!"

Wan Bi looked at Luo Hui and didn't expect him to solve the case. I admire it in my heart, but I don't feel good, I am not as good as a military attaché as a jinshi!

"But what's the use of knowing that the murderer is a woman?"

Luo Hui smiled: "Let's assume that why would a woman appear in a gambling bachelor's house, and why would the woman kill him again?" ”

Wan Bi thought for a while: "This woman must be desperate, and the woman must have killed a bachelor because he was good at gambling and had a dispute!" ”

"Well, Lord Wan is worthy of being the Lord of the Blue Sky, is he very smart, you send someone to ask the villagers to see if you can find this woman!"

After walking around the deceased's house, they returned to the palace.

Before dark, the soldiers brought the news.

Pharmacies in Baoding have asked, and no one has bought arsenic recently. The villagers also asked, but no one knew that there was a woman in the deceased's house. It's just that the people who usually gamble with him say that he has suddenly become rich recently, and he has made a generous move!

Luo Hui quickly fell into deep thought, this is obviously not right, the deceased died of arsenic, where can she buy it if she doesn't go to the pharmacy?

As for the fact that no villager has ever seen such a woman, it shows that this woman is very cautious, and the deceased's recent generosity coincides with the inference of the cause of his death!

What's the problem? Luo Hui really couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Princess Changping didn't know where to find it, and followed by Zhou Yaowu: "Luo Hui, where did you die, so that Princess Ben will look for you for an afternoon!" ”

Hearing the princess's voice, something came to mind.

He closed his eyes, his mind kept running, what the hell was missing!

"Hey, what's wrong with you, talk quickly!" The princess shook his arm.

Luo Hui's eyes suddenly opened, startling the princess.

"I thought of it!" Luo Hui's face was overjoyed.

Princess Changping was stunned, not knowing what he was crazy about.

"Arsenic" Through this key, Luo Hui finally figured out the whole thing.

Mrs. Wei's confession said that the maid was sent to poison the military household with arsenic, and the military household was not poisoned, but was only numbed by anesthetic. The maids ran.

That way, everything makes sense. There was a maid who ran out of the mansion, she had no relatives, she was worried about being caught by the government, so she committed herself to a bachelor, but she didn't expect the bachelor to gamble, snatched her property, took it to gamble, and even threatened her with the fugitive slave, the maid was humiliated, and finally used the arsenic given by Mrs. Wei!

This is why a bachelor's house is so lightly cared for, even the rice in the rice jar is full. It's a pity that the gambler didn't hesitate to be blessed, when he met such a good woman, not only did he not cherish it, but forced her to kill himself!

It's not a pity that the gambler died, but it's a pity for the woman. Thinking of this, I can't help but think of other maids, who may also be coerced by some bad people.

"Someone's coming!" Thinking of this, Luo Hui decided that he couldn't sit idly by.

Two soldiers walked in, and Luo Hui beckoned them: "Hurry up and call Lord Wan to go to the mansion hall!" ”

The princess was stunned, which one is this singing! However, her interest had been piqued and she decided to follow Luo Hui to have a look.

As soon as Luo Hui arrived in the lobby, Wan Bi rushed over panting.

"Lord Luo, what's so urgent, has the murderer been caught?"

Luo Hui said solemnly: "There are more important things than catching the murderer!" ”

Wan Bi paused, not knowing what Luo Hui was going to do again.

"Lord Wan, I'm going to post an announcement, I'll say, you can write it!"

Wan Bi nodded: "Okay, no problem!" ”

Luo Hui thought about it, although he had a strategy, but he didn't have a literary talent: "Tell the maids in the former prefect Liu Qingsong's mansion, you have saved twenty lives, but you may be panicked all day long because of the identity of fugitive slaves, and even coerced by traitors. He also told the murderer that your helplessness can be understood, and today, in his capacity as a minister, he will pardon your sins, but the crime of murder must not go unpunished, and he ordered you to come to the government and receive twenty lashes to overcome the crime, so as to set the record straight. You can do it all over again!

——In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Luo Hui, the minister of Qincha! ”

After Wan Bi finished writing, he admired and despised Luo Hui's mind, and despised his literary brilliance, which was really bad. That's worse than when he was ten years old! Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little complacent, there is finally one stronger than you!

The princess touched her head, she didn't know the cause and effect, she really couldn't understand what Luo Hui said!

Wan Bi took the notice he had written and blew it: "My lord, will that woman really turn herself in?" ”

"Yes!" Luo Hui nodded, although he was not ten percent sure, ninety percent was still there.
