Chapter Twenty-Seven: No Hornets Flew Around
"Girl, chrysanthemum nectar has been bought, and there is only one sold in the Four Seasons Hall near here."
Sishitang is a pharmacy, and honey can be used as medicine.
Xiao Xia opened the lid of the small porcelain jar, and Hua Jingyao said to the little fox, "Do you smell the same?" ”
The little fox leaned over and sniffed it, shaking his head: "This is good honey, better than that." ”
Hua Jingyao stood up and said to Qin Wei who was at the top, "Lord Qin, can you go outside and have a look?" ”
Qin Wei had already seen the jar of honey, but he didn't understand for a while why Hua Jingyao wanted him to go outside.
Master Hua said angrily: "Nonsense, nonsense, Lord Qin, children are just messing around." ”
Hua Jingyao looked at Luo Jiong, who was sitting outside, and said, "Luo Chengzuo, let's go out and have a look together?" ”
"Okay."
Luo Jiong stood up without saying a word, Qin Wei laughed, and also got up and walked outside, Master Hua shook his head helplessly, glared at Hua Jingyao fiercely, and went out with him.
Everyone walked out of the hall and stood under the corridor, Hua Jingyao whispered a few words to Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia walked down the steps, held up the jar containing chrysanthemum nectar, and smashed it down, the jar fell on the bluestone paved ground, shattered, and the aroma of chrysanthemum honey instantly dispersed.
"What is this doing?" As soon as Master Hua Da spoke, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, because he saw Qin Wei's lips closed tightly, and his eyes stared at the honey splashed on the ground.
No one answered Master Huada, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at the broken porcelain jar on the ground and the honey flowing out of the porcelain jar like Qin Wei.
After a long time, a butterfly flew over and landed on a piece of broken porcelain, and then several butterflies flew one after another, circling around the honey on the ground, refusing to fly away.
Hua Jingyao exhaled a long breath, Qin Wei's gaze finally moved away from the ground, he looked at Hua Jingyao and asked, "Miss Hua, can you explain it now?" ”
Hua Jingyao nodded and said, "There is also a little girl who was poisoned with my sister, I found that the clothes on her body were obviously inappropriate, and they were very clean, obviously they were changed after death, they were not her own clothes." But the shoes she wore on her feet were suitable, and there were half stains on the cuffs of her shoes, and the other half stains on the socks, which meant that her shoes were the same ones she wore when she died, and the half stains were honey, chrysanthemum nectar. ”
Speaking of this, Hua Jingyao pointed to the honey sprinkled on the ground and said, "My sister and that girl have traces of being stung by bees on their faces, and there is no doubt that they are bee wounds." Whether it's a bee, or a wasp or some other venomous bee, it's all a bee. The bee's favorite thing is the smell of honey, and the little girl happened to have a drop of honey on her shoes and socks, could it be that the poisonous bees smelled the little honey on her feet and swarmed in? Of course it's unlikely, but if the little girl spilled a whole bowl of honey on her clothes, it would be possible, and the drop on her shoes and socks was just splashed by the way. ”
"The whole Hou Mansion knows that the little girl is my sister's playmate, the two of them usually play together, the so-called poisonous bees may be ordinary wasps, these hornets are attracted by the honey on the little girl's body, two four or five-year-old little girls suddenly see a hornet, they will panic, maybe they will wave their hands to fight, the hornet was frightened, and they all stung both. In fact, children provoke wasps and are stung by wasps, which is also commonplace, but the strange thing is that the little girl's clothes sprinkled with honey have been replaced, if you want the little girl to be buried cleanly, then you can change into the little girl's own clothes, but the one on the little girl's body, fat and big, is obviously not hers, but someone temporarily found one for her to change. ”
"The reason why my sister was stung was because of a wasp, and the reason why the wasp came was because of the honey on the little girl's clothes, because it is true that my sister was stung by a wasp, so even if she was later stung with broken intestines, the cause of death would be determined to be stung by a poisonous bee. So the little girl's dress is the key evidence, but now that the evidence is gone, do you think this matter is very strange? ”
As soon as Hua Jingyao's words fell, Master Hua reprimanded: "It's all your random speculation, where is there any clothes sprinkled with honey, alarmist!" ”
Qin Wei's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Huada, you let people spill honey on the ground, and asked me to wait to see, just to prove that there are actually no hornets in this Hou Mansion at all, and the hornet that stung Miss Hua Wu yesterday was caught and released by someone, right?" ”
Hua Jingyao's face was adoring, and she almost gave a thumbs up: "Lord Qin is really a god." ”
Qin Wei bowed his head, feeling very comfortable, and he said, "Miss Huada continues." ”
Hua Jingyao was also not polite, and said: "So much honey has only attracted a few butterflies, why was there a wasp yesterday and not today?" Lord Qin is right, there are no hornets in the Hou Mansion at all, the hornets are deliberately released, large families have flowers and trees, and the hornets will also have them, everyone knows that the hornet's nest can't be poked, but as far as I know, there are people in the capital who specialize in this kind of demolishing hornet's nests for people, these people are ancestral secret techniques, they can lure away hornets, and they can also catch hornets. ”
She said that she would not say any more, not only did she know that there were people who specialized in this kind of business, but she also knew that there were very few people who did this kind of business.
Qin Wei immediately asked people to ask, the one who makes this kind of living in the capital is the Liu family bee garden outside the city.
It only took two hours before and after, and Yin Zhutou found clues from the Liu family's bee garden.
Liu's bee garden bees and cut honey, and many shops in the capital sell Liu's honey, so the people in Liu's bee garden will also take over the work and dismantle the honeycomb for large families.
Seven or eight days ago, when a guy in Liu's bee garden was drinking in the tavern, he met a man named Huang Xiaopu, and the two talked very happily, Huang Xiaopu not only settled the account for him, but also gave him a tael of silver, saying that the neighbor's child always peed on his door, and he asked for a few hornets to scare the child, and after the matter was completed, he would give him another silver tael.
For this guy, it's just a little thing that is handy. A few days later, the man saw Yellow Puppy again in the tavern and handed him the small jar containing a dozen wasps.
The jar is unique to the bee garden, with vents on it, and the wasps are stuffed in it to suffocate and not die.
Yin Zhutou went to the tavern again, and the people in the tavern knew Huang Xiaopu, and Huang Xiaopu was an idler in the neighborhood. Yin Zhutou didn't have much trouble finding Huang Xiaopu, and Huang Xiaopu saw that it was an official of Shuntian Mansion who came, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot.
According to what he said, someone gave him ten taels of silver to find a way to get a few hornets from the Liu family's bee garden, and he gave the guy two taels, and he got eight taels of silver for himself.
Huang Xiaopuppy is an idler, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and at a glance, he knew that the person wanted the wasp to be not good, so he kept an eye on it, thinking that after the incident, he would blackmail that person.
He quietly followed the man into the city, and when he saw the man enter the vegetable market alley, he did not come out.
As the name suggests, the vegetable market alley is next to the vegetable market, and most of the people who live here are vegetable vendors and butchers.
