It seems that only Zhao Banxian's own confession can explain this question. So, Yang Qiuchi said to Zhao Banxian: "If you confess honestly, I may be able to report to Lord Yin and leave you a whole corpse." Otherwise, you just wait for Ling Chi to scatter the ashes after the wrong bones. ”

Zhao Banxian was terrified and said, "I said, I'll say everything." Old Master Lu's original partner, Fan, accompanied Lu Xueru to come to me to see sores on his tongue, and I gave him a home remedy. Later, Lu Xueru had a toothache, and his concubine Shen accompanied him to come to me to see his teeth. I, I ......"

Zhao Banxian turned his head to look at the Shen family, who had been crying softly on the bed, lowered his head and continued: "I covet the beauty of the Shen family, and I want to kill Lu Xueru." I gave him the home remedy and asked him to swallow more than a dozen oleander leaves with water. ”

"He said that this oleander was poisonous, and he was worried that it would be poisoned, so I used the spell of the fried ghost in front of him, of course, it was a trick to deceive him, saying that the poisonous ghost in this oleander had been caught by me and fried in oil, so he believed it."

"I was afraid that if he ate it and died immediately, he would suspect me, and I lied that I would have to wait until Enko took the exam. During the Enke exam, you can use the Hongfu of the emperor's birthday to finally suppress the demon in this oleander, so that he can be cured of his toothache without being poisoned. Let him tear up more than a dozen oleander leaves and swallow them during his time in Enko. In this way, the toothache can be broken. ”

Now I understand, it turned out that this Zhao Banxian used his trick of pretending to be a ghost to deceive Lu Xueru and make him swallow more than ten oleander leaves.

On the one hand, the toothache was really bad and affected the exam, on the other hand, he finally believed Zhao Banxian's words, worried that he would miss the power of the emperor Hongfu in the Enke exam, and the toothache could not be completely cured, and the toothache could not be broken. The half bowl of water that Yang Qiuchi found on the table in his room could confirm this speculation.

Because the incubation period of oleander poisoning is less than 24 hours, after Lu Xueru swallowed it, when he arrived at the examination room, he died suddenly due to the onset of myocarditis with the surname of poisoning.

If someone else gave him this home remedy, Lu Xueru would probably not believe it, but the people in this village believed in Zhao Banxian's spells very much, and they had seen him cure other people's diseases with home remedies, so this Lu Xueru finally believed in Zhao Banxian. And Zhao Banxian took advantage of this trust and poisoned Lu Xueru with oleander leaves.

After figuring out the original story of this case and catching the real culprit, Hu Jiang was very happy, but he didn't know what to do to the Fan family and the Shen family, so he asked Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Although the original Fan used poisonous honey-soaked and crushed oleander petals to treat Lu Xueru's mouth ulcers, due to the small dosage and external application, it was used for three months, and it did not cause Lu Xueru's poisoning. Therefore, Fan's behavior was not the cause of Lu Xueru's poisoning, and she cannot be held responsible for the killing. ”

"As for this little concubine Shen, we all overheard it just now, she didn't instruct Zhao Banxian to kill people, this Zhao Banxian poisoned Lu Xueru purely because he wanted to curry favor with Shen, and he wanted to take the opportunity to prove that he was accurate in his fortune telling. Therefore, although the Shen family teased Zhao Banxian to make him have this idea, in the final analysis, this matter has no direct relationship with the Shen family, so the Shen family is not held responsible. ”

Hu Jiang listened to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, agreed very much, and ordered Fan to be released.

Fang Cai's Fan saw everything in his eyes, and knew that she really escaped death this time. After the chains were untied, Fan cried and knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi to thank her, and Song Yun'er on the side helped Yang Qiuchi help her up.

The concubine Shen knew that if it wasn't for Yang Qiuchi and them rushing back, she would not only be raped by this Zhao Banxian, but maybe she would also be killed by him, not only that, but Yang Qiuchi also cleared himself of murder suspicion, so it can be said that this Yang Qiuchi is also his life-saving benefactor, so he also cried and got out of bed, kowtowing to Yang Qiuchi to thank him.

After two days and two nights of hard work, continuous battles, and finally cracked the case of Lao Xiucai's death in the Gongyuan. Although everyone worked hard in continuous battles, they finally gained something, and they all felt that the hard work was worth it.

The next question is where to sleep, it is estimated that it is almost two watches now, and Miri is proposing to let Yang Qiuchi and the others stay at the post house in this Beishao Village for one night.

Mi Li Zheng said that this north outpost was a military fortress in the Battle of Jingyan a few years ago, and it was the throat road leading to Chuzhou, the northern gate of the capital, and its military status was very important, so it not only built a lot of defense facilities, but also built a post station. It's just that it's been many years since the end of the war, and the post house has fallen into disrepair.

Yang Qiuchi doesn't care, but Hu Jiang thinks it's too simple here, and wants to take the murderer Zhao Banxian back to Chuzhou overnight, but now the city gate of Chuzhou must be closed, and they can't enter the city.

As a result, I could only barely stay in this Beishao Village for one night.

Coming to this post house, Hu Jiang was even more bitter, because there was no war for many years, the military significance of this north post has almost been forgotten, although the post house of this north post village is still there, but it has fallen into disrepair, and it is more dilapidated than the Yamen of Guangde County.

There were five rooms in the house, but one of them was half lost and could not be inhabited. The doors of the other two large rooms were no longer unloaded by someone and used as firewood. Only two small rooms are still intact.

It was winter now, and the night was very cold, Mi Li Zheng originally proposed to let Yang Qiuchi and them disperse to live in the villagers' homes, but Hu Jiang and Yang Qiuchi saw that it was late, most of the villagers were sleeping, and it was not good to disturb others, so they decided to deal with them in the post house for one night.

Mirizheng instructed the people to bring some clean bedding, hang lanterns in the post house, simply seal the windows with oiled paper, find some door panels to simply seal the doors of the two large rooms, which can block some wind and cold, and also make a fire in each room, and the room will be warm.

Most of the guards of Catcher Kuai and Yang Qiuchi often walk the rivers and lakes, and they have become accustomed to sleeping in the open air, so they live in two large rooms without doors, and of course Zhao Banxian is also imprisoned in this big room.

Hu Jiang is the general judgment of Tianfu, Zheng Liupin, that is the authentic master, equivalent to the current deputy department-level cadre, of course he should live in a separate room.

However, Hu Jiang was grateful to Yang Qiuchi for helping to solve the case, and proposed to let Yang Qiuchi live in a single room, Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, he is an authentic official, besides, he is much older than himself, and he is really embarrassed to live in a single room when he is young. Resolutely postpone.

There was only one small bed in this single room, so Hu Jiang proposed to let Yang Qiuchi move a bed to live together, Yang Qiuchi was troublesome, anyway, he would just make do with it wherever he wanted for the night.

Hu Jiang was not reluctant, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I slept and snored, and the snoring was very loud, so I always slept alone, and even my mother couldn't sleep with me, and it was right that the son didn't want to sleep in the same room with me, otherwise, I'm afraid you would be almost the same as not sleeping." Hehehe. ”

Yang Qiuchi sleeps very lightly, and he will wake up at the slightest sound, which is related to the fact that his forensic life in modern society has been irregular for many years, and after hearing this, he can't sleep with Hu Jiang.

In addition, there is only one single room, Yang Qiuchi asked Song Yun'er to live, and he had to go to the big room to live with the guards.

However, to be honest, Yang Qiuchi really didn't want to sleep with these people, because there were fifteen guards and several arresters and people Zhao Banxian added up to more than twenty, and there were more than ten people living in each room, and there was a fire in the middle, almost everyone was going to be beaten, in case a few of these more than ten people were snoring badly, then don't expect to sleep, let alone grinding teeth and farting with feet and smelly.

Hearing Yang Qiuchi say that she was going to live with the guards, Song Yun'er was a little unhappy, pulled Yang Qiuchi aside and asked, "Brother, why don't you want to live with me?" I'm your sister! ”

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, and thought, your sister is not real, men and women are not close, if you live in the same house, don't expect someone to marry you. But the girls all said so, I can't refute her face, it will hurt her heart.

If in modern society, a beautiful sister asked Yang Qiuchi to be in the same room with him, then Yang Qiuchi would be so happy that his big teeth would laugh off. But now it is the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty with the harshest feudal etiquette, Song Yun'er is fifteen years old and ignorant (or deliberately pretending to be ignorant), and he is a young man in his twenties, so he can't hurt others.

If you are determined to marry Song Yun'er, then it's a different matter, just live there, and take her as a concubine when you go back.

However, this Song Yun'er is different from other women for Yang Qiuchi, Song Yun'er's first impression of Yang Qiuchi is very bad, and the young lady's surname is too strong, so she has to be cooler than men, not as tender as Yang Qiuchi's other women. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner didn't call at all. But he likes to be with Song Yun'er, as if he is with a very compatible buddy.

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to accept Song Yun'er as a concubine, and it was estimated that Song Yun'er and his father Song Zhixian would not agree (on this point, Yang Qiuchi made a mistake in judgment), since he didn't want to marry someone, don't hurt someone.

Although Yang Qiuchi is as lustful as most men, he is still very responsible. Hearing Song Yun'er say this, he smiled and said, "Yun'er, if I sleep and snore, I will wake you up." ”

"I'm not afraid!" Song Yun'er's eyes flickered in the dark night.

"I still grind my teeth......"

"I'm not afraid!" Song Yun'er smiled.

"I still talk in my sleep......"

"I'm not afraid!" Song Yun'er stuck out her tongue.

"I'm sleepwalking!" Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to play tricks, pretending to be a zombie, stretching out his hands and jumping on the spot with his feet straight a few times.

Ancient Chinese medicine called sleepwalking nocturnal syndrome, dream syndrome, nocturnal walking syndrome, etc., but she knew this Song Yun'er, grinned, and slapped Yang Qiuchi's arm: "I'm not even afraid of zombies, am I still afraid of you?" Although I am not afraid, it is still quite scary to think of waking up in the middle of the night and seeing Yang Qiuchi jumping around the room with his eyes closed. Then he asked, "Do you really sleepwalk?" ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true!" Are you afraid? ”

Song Yun'er rolled her eyes: "If you really sleepwalk, I'll point to your acupoint!" ”

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, there was no way to do it now.

Mi Li and Hu Jiang heard them talking from a distance, and knew that they were arguing about accommodation, so they came over and said: "Young Master Yang, since Miss Song is already commensurate with your brother and sister, it is not impossible to live in the same room, a manly husband, bright and fair, others will not say anything, besides, although there is a door in this small room, it is not closed tightly, let alone locked, Gongzi and Ling Mei are lying together, living in such a room, it is not much different from living with us." Mirizheng also agreed with Hu Jiang's statement.

This Hu Jiang is forty or fifty years old, an official of the imperial court, and he is old, and Mi Lizheng's opinion can also represent the views of the common people, since the government and the common people agree that their brother and sister sleep in the same room, there should be no problem. Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Song Yun'er was very happy and ordered the guards to help Yang Qiuchi carry a bed. Yang Qiuchi waved his hand to stop: "No need, just sleep on the floor for one night, anyway, there is a stove in the room, it's warm." ”

Song Yun'er was not reluctant, and helped Yang Qiuchi lay the floor. Yang Qiuchi didn't take off his clothes either, and lay down with his clothes closed. Song Yun'er giggled at him, but she was embarrassed to take off her clothes, so she also folded her clothes and lay down.

Nangong Xiong, the leader of Yang Qiuchi's guards, assigned the guards who took turns to guard at night as guards, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Yang Qiuchi and Song Yun'er lived in the same room, although one slept on the bed and the other on the ground, but after all, their hearts were still beating wildly.

Song Yun'er didn't care more about this, lying on the bed with her chin propped up and gossiping with Yang Qiuchi.

After talking for a while, I heard a snoring sound from the room next door where Hu Jiangtong was judged, and the sound was like an old ox cart dragging a large bundle of firewood on a gravel road.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, separated by a wall, it was still so loud, if you really sleep together, don't really expect to sleep.

After a while, the other two rooms also remembered the snoring one after another, and it seemed that the guards and catchers were not idle, and the snoring sounded louder and louder than the race.

Although the snoring sound was deafening, but they didn't sleep for two consecutive nights, Yang Qiuchi and Song Yun'er were really sleepy, and they fell asleep unconsciously while gossiping.
