Chapter 357: Suspicions Expose Black Beans for Meritorious Service
Hu Yanjin's kiss and Zhang Yue's carbon were quietly sent to Chonghua Palace together.
Xiao Gao, who sent carbon in, saw that the buckwheat eyes were red. I don't know what's going on, he turned out to be a cold-faced killer...... It must have been with a woman for a long time, and she has become a mother-in-law and mother-in-law......
"There is nothing lacking in the palace, you go to solve the case, it is to give me the greatest help, let's go." Hua Qiao sent them to the courtyard, and suddenly, she pointed to the corner of the palace wall of Chonghua Palace and called:
"What's that!"
Xiao Gao rushed to the wall to take a look, and couldn't help crying and laughing.
Hua Qiao also smiled when she saw it, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, and put her face on Hu Yanjin's arm.
It turned out that Heidou saw Xiao Gao jumping into the palace and couldn't get in by himself, but the palace gate was closed, and there were still people standing outside the door to drive it away. He went back to the place where Xiao Gao jumped over the wall, and found a soft mud floor and dug a hole.
But the hole it had planed was too small to fit into its dog's head, but it had already seen the buckwheat and Xiao Gao, and refused to withdraw, so the buckwheat saw a black dog's head crowded into the corner.
Xiao Gao had an idea: It's good to have a dog hole, and you can let the black beans send them a letter!
He found a shovel, but the black bean refused to get out of the way and couldn't dig it.
Hu Yanjin smiled: "You go out and take it away, by the way, cover the entrance of the cave, and I'll dig inside." ”
In this way, the two of them widened the entrance of the cave a little more. As soon as Xiao Gao let go and pointed to the hole, the black bean got in. After it entered, it found that Xiao Gao did not come in with him, and turned around and went out to find Xiao Gao.
Black beans are no problem getting in and out.
Hu Yanjin also moved a stone jar over, so that if you don't look carefully, you don't know that there is a dog hole behind it.
Hu Yanjin and Xiao Gao walked to the entrance of the Imperial Garden, and Li He and the chamberlain of Yikun Palace were already waiting by the Moon Gate.
"That day, we were in the Yiran Pavilion by the lotus pond, and we saw the queen mother, there were many of them, and when they came, the concubine also got up to give them a seat."
The chamberlain pointed to a wall with a window and said, "Here is leeward, and the queen mother and the eldest princess of Jiaxing are sitting here." The third princess handed the second princess a snack, which was next to her. ”
This is an ordinary pavilion, the upper and lower halves are solid walls, and in the middle are large Chase windows. Because of this, when the wind blows into the pavilion, it will follow the curved wall and go out again.
The third princess handed a piece to the second princess, and then went to get a piece to the eldest princess, but the queen mother stopped her, and the third princess stuffed the pea yellow into her own mouth. Look, sir. There are also detritus they have fallen, blown to the wall by the wind. ”
The chamberlain didn't look very shrewd, but when it came to things, things were still in order.
"After handing over the cake and leaving?" Li He asked.
"Yes. Maybe the concubine didn't think the queen was very happy, so she didn't let the eldest princess pick up our snacks. So she said that the little princess was going to sleep, so she asked me to pick up the little princess and go back to the palace. ”
Hu Yanjin looked around, but he didn't see what he was looking for, so he asked, "Are there reeds in the imperial garden?" ”
"There are no reeds in this season, because the pond must be cleared in winter, and the dead leaves in the lotus pond and the dead branches by the pond have been cleared. If there is, it is in that corner, with a pile of compost for fertilizer. ”
Hu Yanjin followed his finger and looked over, it was the west gate of the Imperial Garden, and the west road was outside. He glanced at a few people who were still looking down for clues, and walked over.
A man-tall hibiscus flower was planted by the west gate, and at this time only the bare branches remained, and the large pit behind the hibiscus bush was revealed.
At this time, the pit is facing the dead branches and leaves that are not burned, and they are not burned.
Hu Yanjin walked to the front and carefully discerned, and sure enough, there was a reed pole, which should have been cleaned up from the pond as the waiter said. He bent over and walked outward, pinching his hands in his hands, where Simon was very close, but only ten paces away.
Moreover, the thickness of these reeds is about the same as what I see in the stomach of the second princess today.
Hu Yanjin sneered:
Is the eldest princess of Jiaxing so smart? Could it be that there is another master by the queen's side?
"Woohoo!"
Black Bean's scream interrupted Hu Yanjin's train of thought, and he strode towards Yiran Pavilion with a reed pole.
"My lord! Look! Takami pointed to the leeward corner.
Hu Yanjin squatted down and dipped his fingers in a little, not found by black beans, and it was difficult for the naked eye to sew those reddish powders on the ground. He put his finger under his nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, there was a faint smell.
"Adult, this is red arsenic, its taste is pungent, and it has a bitter taste, but it is only put in the pastry, and the child will never eat it. This kind of arsenic is usually mixed with bitter medicine or strong rice wine to kill. ”
Li He had already sniffed a little bit just now.
Xiao Gao looked around and said, "It was all thanks to the strong wind the night before yesterday, which blew all the powder scattered on the ground at the foot of this wall, if it weren't for this wall, it would have been blown away a long time ago." Hey? My lord, do you have the reed pole outside the pavilion in your hand? ”
Xiao Gao didn't know that the second princess had reeds in her stomach, but just now she saw some dead branches and leaves that were swept into the pavilion by the wind, and there was a reed pole in it.
He flicked his foot, found nothing suspicious, and kicked it out of the pavilion.
"Outside the pavilion? Where is it? ”
Xiao Gao quickly picked up the reed pole. The surface is smooth and smooth, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
He bent down to sniff the black bean, and the black bean immediately barked at the reed pole, as if he was going to rush up and bite it. Even if Xiao Gao straightened up, Black Bean was still unyielding, lying on Xiao Gao's lap and screaming at the reed pole in his hand.
"Don't look at it, there must still be arsenic powder left in it." Hu Yanjin took it and said: "Someone used this reed rod to insert it into the stomach of the second princess, just to blow the arsenic powder in the pole into it. ”
Several people gasped.
"If the second princess was alive at that time, she would not have been willing to eat pungent and bitter snacks, and would not honestly let people stick reed rods into her stomach, so it can only be said that she was unconscious at that time, and even ...... He's dead! ”
A gust of wind blew, and a few of the dead grass outside were rolled in, and when they reached the leeward place, the few dead grass stopped.
Hu Yanjin looked at the withered grass and said:
"This is God helping the second princess, this reed should have been thrown out by them, but the strong wind that night not only gathered the inconspicuous arsenic scattered on the ground, but also blew this reed back."
"Yes...... Even if you know that the second princess was poisoned after death, you still don't know the cause of her death? Li He felt that this was a dead end.
"No, we've been ignoring one person. From the night before yesterday to today, what we are staring at is the autopsy and the corpse itself, before the post-mortem, the two princesses came into contact with not only Anzi who was killed by the rod, and Peach Blossom who threw herself into the well. ”
Hu Yanjin suddenly laughed:
"The point is that this person also needs to know that there is poison in the stomach.
This person...... dared to harm the eldest princess to be punished for dissecting the corpse in vain, and Lord Ben asked him to taste arsenic with his own mouth! ”
