Tian Chu said: "You have been in the Miao family for seventeen years, although you have not studied medicine, you should naturally know something, what you suspect is that you are worried that someone will poison your mother?" ”

Miao Rou said: "Don't underestimate me, I have been studying medicine with my father since I was a child, if I am not a woman, I think my father's mantle must be passed on to me, do you know why I married the son of Hangzhou Tongzhi?" ”

Meng Tianchu naturally didn't know, so he had to shake his head.

Miao Rou said: "I'll talk about my mother's affairs first, I saw my mother's symptoms that day and suspected that someone had given my mother a pill, after my mother's first seizure, I went to her room to look for it, and I didn't find it." The next day, I also looked for it when I was cleaning up the relics for my mother, but I didn't find it, and then my father said that my mother thought that my father was hurt and had a hypothesis, so I had to give up, because I didn't find evidence. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Miao Rou knew how to use medicine, and he had also found the second lady's room, thinking that the person who poisoned him had already taken away the evidence before Miao Rou, what a smart person!

Meng Tianchu said: "Then tell me now, how did you marry your father-in-law." ”

Miao Rou said proudly: "Last summer, I went to the West Lake with my family to play, at that time I had a lot of fun, and my family was separated by a long distance I don't know, and then I found my father-in-law's brother by the lake, when he convulsed on the ground, many people watched the excitement, I walked forward, found a stick to stuff his mouth, worried that he bit his tongue, and then looked at the situation, and the maid who was still close to me has been following me, I asked her to take out the pills in my embroidery bag for him to eat, and after a while I saw that his condition was controlled. I'm relieved. Actually, I was scared at the time because I hadn't seen anyone, and I was worried that something would go wrong. Later, fortunately, his family came to him, and I heard that I was cured of his disease, so he must take me to meet his family. I also went, but I didn't expect that as soon as I went, my current father-in-law would take a fancy to me, that's all. ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the bold and careful girl in front of him, couldn't help but admire, and said, "Do you have a bag on you at any time?" What is the disease of your father-in-law's brother? ”

Miao Rou said: "Actually, I heard my father say that he encountered this kind of convulsions, and he didn't know what the specific condition was. First use a simple help to calm the sedative to relieve his convulsions, and then find the cause. Afterwards I found out that it was asthma. ”

Meng Tianchu thought of something and asked, "How many children does your father-in-law have?" ”

Miao Rou said: "Xianggong is the eldest and youngest at home. There are two older brothers and three older sisters. But my sisters are already married, and there are two elder brothers, one is an official in the capital, and the other is the sick brother I just told you. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "There are no children in the family yet?" ”

Miao Rou said: "Naturally, no, the sick brother is not in good health, so naturally he can't get married, and I've only been through the door for less than a year, so it's just..."

Meng Tianchu said: "Maybe you can do this, first tell your father-in-law, take your brother to live at home for a few days, and your father-in-law will not be embarrassed, then your father-in-law will make this request to your father, your father will naturally not refuse, you take your brother to your home first, your brother is so smart and lovely, maybe your father-in-law likes it, and then you mention the matter we just discussed I am afraid it will be easy." ”

When Miao Rou heard this, she also felt that this idea was okay, so she nodded happily and said, "Thank you, Brother Meng." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "Silly girl, what do you say, thank you." When it's done, just invite me to drink. ”

Miao Ju said: "Then there is naturally no problem. I'll go back and discuss with Xianggong first, whether it succeeds or not, I will tell Jue'er, you go to Jue'er tomorrow, and he will naturally tell you. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You have to be more careful in that home, in addition to taking care of yourself, you also have to take care of your younger brother, you know?" ”

Miao Rou nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, that murderer won't attack me yet, I'm the one who will leave sooner or later, he killed me, not only is it not beneficial, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, as for my younger brother, he won't either, because that is the only incense in the Miao family." ”

Meng Tianchu saw Miao Rou say this, and thought to herself, this girl is only seventeen years old, but she is a shrewd person, thinking that she has probably guessed who the murderer is, just like the third lady, just don't say it, just wait for herself to investigate.

Before it got dark, Meng Tianchu was called to the yamen by Wang Yi from home, saying that someone from the Miao family had come to report the case, Meng Tianchu felt strange, and hurriedly took Zhu Hao from home to Miao Zhe's house directly.

In the past few days, Meng Tianchu found that he had entered more of this Miao family than his own, and he came to the hall with a familiar car, Wang Yi and Murong Zhenxue had already arrived here first.

Wang Yi stepped forward and said to Meng Tianchu:

The person is Miao Rou. ”

Meng Tianchu found that Miao Rou was sitting on the side with a sad face, and she didn't see anyone else in the family. Seeing Meng Tianchu coming, he stepped forward, and before he could speak, tears flowed down.

Meng Tianchu has always felt that Miao Rou is very strong, she can keep herself from tears on so many occasions, I don't know what happened today.

Meng Tianchu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Miao Rou wiped away her tears and said: "After I came back from you today, I thought about what you said carefully, and took the opportunity of the whole family to go to the temple to burn incense, and secretly ran to the room where my mother's coffin was placed to see my mother's body, and I found out after reading..."

Meng Tianchu patted Miao Rou's shoulder and comforted: "Don't think about it so much, I'm already here, I'll know when I go to see." What about the others? ”

Miao Rou said: "I haven't come back yet, but I'm probably coming back soon, you better hurry up and dissect it, if it's late, I'm afraid they won't let you check it when they come back." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You just need to report the case, so they can't stop it even if they want to, we have the right to inspect and dissect." ”

After speaking, Meng Tianchu took Murong Zhenxue, Zhu Hao, Wang Yi and a few brothers to the room where the second lady was placed, because it was winter, and it was extremely cold recently, so the speed of corpse decay was very slow.

Miao Rou waited uneasily outside the door alone, and suddenly, the maid ran over and said that the whole family had returned, Miao Rou looked at the door that was still closed, gritted her teeth, and hurried to the front yard to meet them.

—

I think the housekeeper has already told Miao Zhe and the others, and everyone has different expressions when they see Miao Rou.

Miao Zhe stepped forward, slapped him in the face, and said angrily: "Don't you think the house is messy enough?" What else do you have to report? I've already told you, your mother only had a seizure, and then she caught a cold that night, contracted the wind cold and died, what's the matter with you! ”

Miao Rou covered her face with her hand that had been beaten by Miao Zhe, and said hatefully: "If you are to blame, blame you for not letting me study medicine in the first place, you let me study, I know that my mother did not die of some hypothesis, someone poisoned my mother." ”

When Miao Zhe heard this, his face changed, and he didn't care about Miao Rou, he hurriedly rushed to the door of the room where the second lady's body was placed, the room was closed from the inside, he knocked on the door vigorously, the door opened, Zhu Hao stood at the door, Miao Zhe ignored it, and was about to rush inside, Zhu Hao grabbed Miao Zhe's shoulder with his hand, and seemed to grab it gently, but Miao Zhe couldn't help but retreat.

Miao Zhe didn't expect that the shriveled old man who had been following Meng Tianchu would actually know kung fu, and he could do kung fu, he had a backhand, wanting to catch Zhu Hao's vital point, Zhu Hao naturally knew, while he hadn't caught it yet, the other hand had already pointed his acupoint, Miao Zhe knew that he had met an opponent, and his body was numb and paralyzed on the ground.

When the eldest lady saw Miao Zhe fall to the ground, she was about to rush over, Zhu Hao glanced at the eldest lady coldly, and said, "If you are not afraid of death, come up!" ”

The eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Everyone is already dead, and you still don't let the dead live in peace, what do you mean?" ”

In order not to disturb Meng Tianchu, who was conducting an autopsy inside, Zhu Hao closed the door behind him. Standing at the door, the third lady immediately walked over to help Miao Zhe up and walked to the side.

Zhu Hao said: "It was the family of the deceased who reported the case, and our yamen can't ignore it according to the procedure, if the deceased really died of some kind of disease as you said, we will naturally let you bury the deceased after the autopsy and put it in the ground." ”

As soon as Zhu Hao's words were finished, the door behind him opened, Meng Tianchu walked to the door, looked at the person standing at the door, and said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid that the deceased can't go into the ground to settle down, the deceased was indeed poisoned to death before his death!" ”

As soon as the people in front of the door heard this, in an instant, everyone's expressions changed, Miao Rou rushed forward, and said in a choked voice: "Are you sure?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded solemnly and said, "Not only did I find things like Mandala flowers, but there was even a small amount of arsenic. ”

Miao Rou almost fell to the ground with a sigh, but her father-in-law on the side hurriedly helped her. Miao Jue also walked to her sister's side and snuggled tightly to her sister's side, her face pale.

Meng Tianchu turned to Wang Yi and said, "Take care of all the people in this courtyard first, bring all the people in this courtyard back to the yamen, and detain everyone separately, don't forget to mix up." ”

The courtyard was suddenly in chaos, and the eldest lady walked up to Meng Tianchu and sneered, "You don't want to take everyone from us here today." ”

Wang Yi ignored it, and walked away to call someone.

Meng Tianchu looked at the eldest lady and said, "The eldest lady, what do you mean...?" ”
