13. The real murderer

Seeing so many newly made pickles, Zhao Shuang basically understood the cause of Lu Laosan's death.

Zhao Shuang said to the father who was standing in the kitchen to check: "Dad, my daughter may know the reason for Lu Laosan's poisoning." ”

Zhao Mo was stunned: "What? How did Lu Laosan get poisoned. ”

Zhao Shuang said: "You do what your daughter tells you, so you can naturally understand." As he spoke, he whispered in Zhao Moshen's ear.

Zhao Mo listened suspiciously, but her baby daughter has always loved to read, and it is difficult to say that she knows more than herself.

Anyway, I haven't found anything at present, so let's try it according to what my daughter said.

Zhao Moshen walked out of the kitchen and said to the servants of the Lu family who were gathered outside: "Who is in charge of the Lu family's kitchen?" ”

A middle-aged cook wearing a blue cloth apron stepped forward and said tremblingly: "Lord Hui, the woman is in charge of the kitchen here, but the woman didn't poison Master Lu!" ”

Zhao Moshen ignored the woman's defense and asked, "You made the six jars of pickles in the kitchen?" ”

The cook was busy when she heard this: "Yes, those pickles are pickled by the women themselves, and my lord loves to eat all kinds of pickles, and he instructs the women to pickle a lot of pickles every year." These pickles have only been pickled for one episode and two days, and my master can't wait to start trying them. ”

When it comes to the pickles she pickles, the cook is faintly proud, and it seems that her skills are good.

An episode of five days, the folk generally have a market, every five days a set, the day of the market, the nearby traders often gather in the market to set up stalls collectively, the ancient people often use the set to calculate the time, similar to the modern week.

Zhao Mo Shen said: "Did your master eat a lot of pickles for dinner last night?" ”

The cook said nervously: "Yes, the master eats a lot of pickles for three meals a day, but the pickles are pickled by me and are not poisoned, is someone doing anything in the pickles I pickled?" ”

Saying that, the cook was slumped on the ground, and if someone really moved her hands and feet in the pickles, she would be full of mouth and couldn't speak.

Lord Zhao ignored the cook who collapsed on the ground, waved his hand, and instructed the officials to catch a few chickens, ducks, and rabbits, and ordered the officials to go to the pickle urn to catch a lot of pickles, cut them into diced vegetables and feed them to the chickens, ducks, and rabbits.

Because the pickles have a salty taste, the chickens, ducks and rabbits eat very energetically after tasting them.

Lord Zhao moved a chair and sat down, and a group of officials who returned from the inspection and reported to the kitchen fed the chickens, ducks and rabbits together, and stared around the chickens, ducks and rabbits.

Then, keep staring at the chickens, ducks, and rabbits.

Time ticked by, and the officials, under the orders of the master, were still staring at the chickens, dogs, and rabbits who were full of pickles.

The onlookers of the Lu family and the Lu family were panicked and overwhelmed at the beginning, but gradually stabilized, gradually became bolder, and gradually began to whisper:

"What are you doing, sir?"

"Don't you have a brain? Obviously, the adults are testing poison with chickens, ducks and rabbits. ”

"It's been half an hour since I tried this, the chickens, ducks and rabbits are fine, obviously, the pickles are fine, why are the adults still sitting still?"

"You don't understand that, do you? Lord Zhao, this is waiting for the steps. ”

"What steps?"

"You think, the entire Lu Mansion has been searched, no poison has been found, pickles are suspected, pickles, chickens, ducks and rabbits are fine after eating, and no clues have been found for a long time, how embarrassing it is!"

"Then you guys quickly find a step for Lord Zhao to go down?"

"I don't have a step for him, and our wife is still in prison by him!"

"There are so many headless cases under Lord Zhao's hands, and there is no need for steps at all." He is not afraid of losing face.

……

Zhao Shuang stood back, and the whispers of the Lu family's subordinates were all heard in their ears. It seems that if you don't help Daddy solve a few cases, Daddy's incompetent pot can't be put down.

At this time, Lord Zhao was also very nervous, the chickens, ducks and rabbits in the cage were jumping around one by one, where were there signs of poisoning, but the girl said that it would take more than an hour, and the method that the girl said, gritted her teeth and insisted on it.

Time ticks.

Lu Lao Er cautiously stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Lord Zhao, even if the Han clan poisons my third brother's favorite pickles, it should only be put on the plate served to my third brother, and it won't be stupid enough to be in these five big urns of pickles, right?" "How much poison do you have to buy!

Listening to Lu Laoer's words, Zhao Moshen was very displeased, the Han family would not be stupid enough to poison the five big pickle urns, could it be that I am stupid, do I have to find poison in the big urn?

But isn't his current behavior to find poison in a big urn?

Li Zhutou, who was loyal to the Lord, scolded: "What are you yelling about, let me wait, you just wait!" ”

As the first catcher by Zhao Moshen's side, Li Zhutou never felt that his family was stupid, he had served five county masters, and the previous four county masters were not better than Zhao at all, and they were not as dedicated as Zhao Daren, they did not have a headless case under them, but they just closed the case hastily and fooled their superiors.

For example, in this case, if the first five county magistrates were the first five county magistrates, they would definitely be beaten into tricks, and the Han family confessed to being poisoned, and the case was reported to be closed. Regardless of whether Han murdered his husband or not, he had to be charged with murdering his husband, and his head was cut off at the entrance of the vegetable market, leaving behind an unknown number of years of infamy.

Although Lord Zhao can't never indulge any bad person, he will never wronged any good person.

After Lu Lao Er was reprimanded, he was quailed for a while, and the people who were secretly talking behind him didn't dare to talk about it anymore, and the scene was audible for a while.

But under Zhao Moshen's calm surface, his heart is not quiet, after an hour, nothing has happened to the animals, how can it end?

An hour passed in Zhao Moshen's drumming.

The crowd who were waiting to see the play suddenly heard a man shouting, "Look, that chicken is twitching!" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked into the cage where the chickens were kept, and among the few chickens that were originally alive, the body of the smallest chicken cub was trembling and twitching, and soon lay on the ground.

With the first, soon the second, the third, ...... Rabbit, duck ...... One by one trembled and lay down.

The crowd was in an uproar:

"Pickles are really poisonous!"

"I'm rubbing, I asked the cook for pickles this morning!"

"I eat the pickles in that urn every day!"

"Am I going to die, I also ate pickles this morning!"

……

There was a commotion at the scene, and the cook who had stood up before collapsed to the ground again, muttering: "I don't, I don't...... I didn't poison the pickles......"

Li Zhutou and the messenger had already stepped forward to surround the cook, waiting for the adult to give an order to arrest the murderer.

Who said that my family is incompetent in judging cases, my family is simply like a god in judging cases!
