After Pei Yun explained to Yang Guang the reason why Sima Luo and Feng Xiaoxi were not poisoned, he began to reply to Yang Guang's question of how he confirmed that it was the poisonous pollen secretly transmitted by Jingxu Shitai, the abbot of Tongguangni Temple, and said: "In order to find out Jingxu, the internal response hidden in Tongguangni Temple, Xia Guan did everything he could: interrogate all the monks and nuns in the temple one by one, and induce them to expose Jingxu; Interrogated Jingxu all night, using both soft and hard, and even threatened to kill the monks and nuns in the temple, forcing Jingxu to confess who secretly passed on the poison to his heart. It wasn't until later that Master Jingxu was persecuted by his subordinates, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide, and he did not confess who was a traitor. I remember that early yesterday morning, Xia Guan was too tired to personally interrogate the monks and nuns of Tongguangni Temple for several days, so he took a nap in the duty room, and heard a report that Master Jingxu had committed suicide by biting his tongue. Xia Guan originally planned that even if Jingxu and the monks and nuns of Tongguang Ni Temple did not confess, they would be handed over to the prince for personal interrogation and disposal, but he did not think that Jingxu would bite his tongue and commit suicide. Although her suicide is very likely to be committed in fear of crime in the eyes of the lower officials, in the eyes of others, it is difficult for the lower officials to escape the responsibility of forcing the high monk to death. Therefore, as soon as he heard the news that Jingxu bit his tongue and committed suicide, and did not hide it from the prince, the lower official was frightened into a cold sweat at that time, thinking: If I still can't find the evidence of Jingxu's crime, I will be in big trouble. ”

Yang Guang didn't expect that Master Jingxu would be humiliated, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide angrily, and there was fire in his eyes looking at Pei Yun, and he snorted secretly in his heart, thinking: You still know some depths and shallows, this king came to Fusui Jiangnan, but you forced the monks of the Southern Dynasty to death, if you can't confirm that Jingxu really passed the poison to your heart, this time you can be regarded as living to the end.

Pei Yun came here to invite credit, so he naturally wanted to deliberately tell the story of how he found the key evidence in this case with twists and turns, ups and downs, in order to highlight his own merits in investigating the case, so he peeked at Yang Guang when he heard the news that Master Jingxu had committed suicide by biting his tongue, and there was almost fire in both eyes, but he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and then continued: "Xia Guan led people to hurry to the clean room where Master Jingxu lived, and sure enough, he saw that Master Jing vomited blood and died of anger. Xia Guan did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately personally searched the clean room where Jingxu lived, hoping to find evidence of her guilt in the room. However, this clean room has been searched many times by the lower officials, but they have never found any valuable incriminating evidence, and at this time, the lower officials searched this clean room again, most likely with the intention of exculpating themselves, not just to find the evidence of the guilt of Jingxu.

As expected, Xia Guan searched for a long time, but still found nothing. However, fortunately, just as Xia Guan was about to give up and turned around to leave, he inadvertently glanced at Jingxu's body again, but made a major discovery: a worm seemed to have fallen from between the branches in a flower pot placed next to Jingxu's bed.

I was in a mood that I didn't want to let go of even one more hair in this clean room, but suddenly I saw an insect falling from between the branches of the flowers for no reason, which attracted my attention, so I walked to the flower pot in three steps and two steps, and looked at the pot carefully. To my surprise, seven or eight bees had already fallen in one of the humble pots!

The pollen of this pot of flowers is poisonous!

I exclaimed, and immediately realized that I had finally found evidence of the guilt of Silence. ”

"What kind of flower is this, and the bees can't collect its nectar to eat?" The anger in Yang Guang's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by infinite surprise.

"Xia Guan has ordered someone to pick this flower and feed a number of chickens and rabbits, which has confirmed that this is indeed a poisonous flower. However, the lower officials consulted all the florists in Jiankang City, but none of them knew this flower. Therefore, the lower officials concluded that it was very likely that this flower came from outside the territory. ”

"It's not easy for this monk to be quiet, he actually placed this pot of poisonous flowers on the side of the sleeping couch in a grand manner, deceiving everyone's eyes!" Yang Guang shook his head again and again, sighing with emotion.

"The lower official has another piece of good news, and he wants to report it to the prince." Seeing that Yang Guang's emotions had been fully mobilized by himself, Pei Yun lost no time in giving up his hand again.

"Hehe, rushing here, it's really true! Let's hear about it, what else is the good news? Yang Guang's face had completely cleared, and he urged Pei Yun with a smile.

"The lower officials concluded that the person who infiltrated the Tongguangni Temple that night and broke into the clean room where Xinyi lived should be the two most important people in the remnants of the 'Wild Goose's Nest': Zhang Zhongjian and Xiao Rushui."

"What evidence does Okinoyuki have to infer this?" Unconsciously, Yang Guang's attitude towards Pei Yun changed greatly, picked up the tea bowl on the table next to him, took a sip of tea, and asked leisurely.

"At the beginning, it was the lower official who suggested to the prince that he would move Xinyi and others to Jiankang for resettlement, and lured the remnants of the 'Wild Goose's Nest' hidden near Jiankang to come and assassinate him, and at the same time, he also tested Xinyi's identity. Just in case, Xia Guan secretly ordered people to set up a number of traps around the clean room where Xinyi lived, one of which was dug under the back window. On the night of Xinyi's death, Xia Guan received a report and rushed to the scene before Yu Jianping, Bertong and others, and went to the back window to carefully investigate, but found no traces left by the assassin's foot in the trap. You must know that the trap dug by the lower official under the back window of the clean room where the heart lives is enough to be a foot wide, covered with a thick layer of weeds as a cover, it is difficult for ordinary people to jump over this trap and enter and exit the clean room. Even with General Liang Mo's skills, it is not easy to jump over the trap in one step without knowing it. Based on this, the lower officials concluded that it must be one of the two culprits Zhang and Xiao who broke into the heart room that night. ”

Yang Guang recalled the situation at the scene of the assassination that Liang Mo told him a few days ago, and secretly thought to himself: Even if the assassin did not necessarily enter the clean room where he lived through the back window, with what Liang Mo saw that night, he must have escaped from the back window, and if he wanted to avoid the trap set by Pei Yun, he had to be a master like Zhang Zhongjian and Xiao Rushui.

"Chongzhi, I still don't know something, can you explain one or two for me?" Although he had already agreed with Pei Yun's inference about the identity of the assassin, Yang Guang still wanted to hear Pei Yun's explanation of another key question, and asked him, "What do you think about the fact that Xinyi's chest was pierced by the assassin with a sharp sword?" ”

"It must have been intentionally persuaded to do so, with the intention of creating the illusion that she had been assassinated, in order to conceal her true purpose. From this, the subordinate further deduced that the mind and the person who met that night must be very familiar, even if they are not subordinate to the upper and lower levels, otherwise it is not enough to persuade the other party to do such a ruthless move. Pei Yun had obviously pondered this question repeatedly in advance, and replied quite confidently.

"Then, according to you, what is the real intention of Xinyi to design such a death method for herself so painstakingly?"
