Chapter 296: The Qi Clan of Lizhou
"I didn't expect that a lady could also be a servant. You just look at the bones a few times and you can know so much. So, can you tell me, how did my husband die? ”
Hao Yu looked away from his eyes and looked at the person in the coffin.
"When I opened the coffin just now, I could faintly smell the smell of burnt sugar. In my great-grandfather's pamphlet, there was an old story that said that there was a strange family in Lizhou who accidentally got a strange book, which was called the Book of Poison and the Book of Medicine. ”
"Where there are people, there are fights, and although the Qi tribe has few people, it is no exception. The people in the village were divided into two factions, one of which inherited the poison scripture, and what they did was poisoning and curing poison. ”
"On the other hand, this is to learn the medicine scriptures, hang the pot to help the world, and there are often miracle doctors in the world. Let's not talk about the medicine scripture first, let's talk about the poison scripture. The medicines in the Poison Sutra are quite strange, far from the poisons such as arsenic and crane top red that we often see in the Central Plains. ”
"My grandfather once went to Lizhou for a while to work as a servant and saw this kind of poison. At that time, there was a case in Lizhou, which said that there was a wealthy family in the local area, surnamed Yao, and the young son of the Yao family married Danji, a woman of the Qi tribe. ”
"Dan Ji was pregnant and gave birth to twin daughters, just during confinement. Yao Xiaogongzi accepted a new concubine and entered the door. Dan Ji was furious, saying that the Qi clan was monogamous and could not take concubines, and forced Yao Xiaogongzi to drive the concubine out of the door. ”
Hao Yu said, smiling sarcastically, "Man, because there are two taels of meat under his body, he is one or two less good and sincere than us women." Most of it wasn't a thing, Yao Xiaogongzi was hot about the concubine's room at the time. ”
"Shouting to marry a chicken and a chicken to marry a dog to a dog, although Danji is as beautiful as a fairy, she eats meat every day, and she is tired of it, so she doesn't want to eat a porridge dish to adjust her taste."
"Where can Dan Ji stand this, pretend to be generous, and on the day of the child's full moon, cook sugar with her own hands, and congratulate Yao Gongzi. Soon after, the Yao family became ill, and within a month, they were all wiped out. ”
"Dan Ji was disheartened, with her two daughters, and disappeared. The whole family died of illness, and it was strange that my grandfather was a man, and after the autopsy, this strange poison was discovered. ”
Later, the world called this poison sugar-coated. Because the poison itself is sweet, most of the people who poison it will hide it in snacks and sugar people. The entrance is like honey, its heart is like a sword, and its body melts when it dies, and it feeds for ants and insects......"
Mrs. Tao's body shook, she almost fainted, and she couldn't suppress her crying, "My husband, I went to Lizhou." After I came back, I was always worried and hurried, and often said that I had unbearable abdominal pain. ”
"At that time, he was infected with a cold and coughed so much that his whole body hurt, and I didn't care about it, I just thought it was hurting my internal organs. Now that I think about it, it's because I was poisoned that I have a stomachache. ”
In this way, maybe he himself has already noticed it and knows that he has been poisoned. The master, why are you so stubborn, what's the matter, you can't say to the court, you carry it alone, it's good now, you will lose your life! ”
Chen Wangshu listened, frowned, walked closer, and looked at the skeleton.
The Tao family was poor, and Tao Bi had almost no funeral goods, and only a few bamboo slips were simply placed in it.
The bamboo slip is immature, and it should be a splendid article written by the deceased before his death, copied by a child. The only thing that counts as valuable is that he wears a brass lock around his neck.
The copper lock was thin and somewhat deformed, bulging, and should be hollow. The auspicious patterns on it are almost invisible. Only densely engraved with the names of some people, as if hanging their family tree around their necks.
"Is this something that Master Tao has been wearing?"
Chen Wangshu said, bent down and took off the copper lock, sure enough, the copper lock was very light and thin, and it was not worth much.
"Well, at my husband's first birthday banquet, there was a goddess who counted eight characters, saying that he had the destiny to be an official in the future. The people in the village rejoiced, and one person came out of a copper and melted such a copper lock. ”
Engraved on it is the name of the person who gave Tongzi'er at that time. The husband has been wearing it, saying that he is a draught and does not forget to dig wells, and he can get out of that col without the help of the villagers. ”
Chen Wangshu listened to sighs, so to speak, Tao Bi is really a good official with affection and righteousness, it's a pity.
Thinking about it, she plucked a thin hairpin from her head, and with a light pick of the hairpin, she took out a silk handkerchief as thin as a cicada's wings from the copper lock.
Mrs. Tao's face suddenly turned bad, because the veil was not hers.
The Tao family is poor, how can there be such a valuable silk handkerchief, this square handkerchief is far more valuable than a copper lock, where did Tao Bi get this kind of thing for women.
Chen Wangshu sighed and comforted, "Madame, don't be suspicious. This is the clue that Master Tao left us. Master Tao's trip to Lizhou is indeed another hidden story. ”
"We've been out for a long time, so let's go back quickly in case something happens to our family."
Mrs. Tao's face turned pale and she panicked, "My child! ”
Chen Wangshu shook his head, "Don't be so alarmed, madam, please rest assured, we have already arranged the manpower of the Huguo Mansion to protect them in secret, and it will be fine." ”
"It's just that in the past few days, I have asked my wife's family to change their residence, and be careful. The body of Master Tao will be transported to the Lin'an Mansion. Don't act rashly for the time being, we have our own arrangements. ”
"I assure you that Master Tao will never die in an unknown way, and what he discovers will definitely be made public."
Mrs. Tao breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down in front of Chen Wangshu.
Chen Wangshu had already prepared, stretched out his hand to stop it, and glanced at Yan Jue.
Now that the eldest prince was beaten unconscious by him, all the attention of the people in the capital was attracted by the secret affairs of Princess Ping and the Seventh Prince, and they had no time to notice a small Tao Bi.
"We'll call someone, escort Madame, and go round with your family. There are still important matters to deal with here, if there is a result, Wangshu will definitely come to the door in person and tell Mrs. about this matter thoroughly. ”
Mrs. Tao's eyes turned red and she nodded.
Chen Changge immediately took a step forward and helped her, "Sister, I'll send Mrs. back in my carriage." ”
Chen Wangshu nodded, "You can rest assured, Yan Jue will send someone to protect you secretly, don't be ostentatious." ”
Mrs. Tao walked a few steps and turned back sharply, "The family in the alley always stares at us......"
Chen Wangshu smiled slightly, "It's been solved, you can rest assured." ”
Mrs. Tao's figure flickered, and she was both respectful and afraid of Chen Wangshu...... No, what does it mean to solve...... All...... Have they all been killed?
As soon as she left, Qiao Guanbai immediately asked, "Everything was solved, when was it solved, and how was it solved?" How could I not know? You haven't checked that family, maybe it's a good person, but it's just unlucky to move over. ”
Chen Wangshu smiled, "If I say they have a problem, they will naturally have a problem." When I found a problem, Yan Jue naturally solved it immediately. This little tacit understanding, we still have it as a husband and wife. ”
Qiao Guanbai looked at Hao Yu, and sure enough, he received the Ten Thousand Handle Eye Knife!
Chen Wangshu smiled, how could he not throw back the dog food that was stuffed!
