The head of the Xie arrest focused their eyes on that person, and it turned out to be Yao Biren Yao's housekeeper.

"My lord, last night there were only my nieces Suzaku, Xiaocui, Ah Da and Ah Er and me, and the five of us were there. Only Xiao Cui lives with my niece Suzaku, and the poison must be from Xiao Cui. ”

"You think it's Xiao Cui's poison? Is there any evidence? ”

"Yes, my lord, I have proof. Look, this tea bowl was taken out of my niece's Suzaku room in the morning, and at the beginning I thought that she had died strangely, and I was afraid that someone had poisoned her, so I put the tea bowl away in advance, just to let the adults know about it. ”

After speaking, Yao Biren took out the tea bowl from his arms and handed it over.

Xie Catcher took the tea bowl, sniffed it, and tried it with a silver needle to make sure that the tea bowl was indeed poisonous.

"This tea bowl is indeed poisonous, so why isn't it poisoned by someone else?"

"My lord, Xiaocui is responsible for the food and living in the house, I am with Ah Da and Ah Er, and I have been in the south room, and I don't dare to go to the north room without permission, please Mingjian."

Xiao Cui listened to it, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted that she had been wronged. Xie Zhutou frowned, and sent someone to take Xiao Cui, gag her mouth with a cloth, and don't let her make a sound.

"Steward Yao, why did she want to harm Miss Suzaku? Where does the poison come from? Is there an accomplice? ”

"My lord, it's all my niece Suzaku for this, she shouldn't show her wealth. It must have been Xiaocui's eyes open when she saw the money, so that my niece Suzaku found out and poisoned her to death. If you don't believe me, you can go to Xiaocui's room and search it. As for the accomplice, it is the tenant Zhu Dalong. It was the poison that Zhu Dalong gave her. ”

Xie Zhutou waved his hand, and immediately someone went to the small cui room, and after a while, he really found some silver taels, which must not be owned by a maid, and if he had these silver taels, he should have gone home a long time ago. At that moment, the head of the Xie arrester sent someone to find Zhu Dalong.

"Zhu Dalong, let me ask you, did you give Xiaocui's poison?"

Zhu Dalong didn't know what was going on, and he said it 1510 when he asked about the poison.

"My lord, the poison was given to Xiaocui by the villain. Xiaocui said......"

Without waiting for Zhu Dalong to finish speaking, as soon as he heard Zhu Dalong's admission, he immediately ordered someone to tie up Zhu Dalong.

The facts should be very clear, and Xiao Cui still needs to be interrogated again. Ordered someone to escort Xiaocui over and remove the gag cloth.

"Xiaocui, let me ask you, is this tea bowl for you to drink tea for Miss Suzaku?"

"My lord, I am wronged! I gave the tea bowl to the Suzaku girl, but the poison in it was asked by Yao Biren to give it. If I don't poison him, he'll kill me and Suzaku girl. ……”

Xiao Cui repeated what she said to Suzaku again.

Xie Zhutou's eyes became stern and stared at Yao Biren.

"Steward Yao, is what Xiao Cui said true?"

Yao Biren will admit that this bureau has been laid out a long time ago, and he will take this opportunity to remove Xiaocui and Zhu Dalong together.

"My lord, wronged, Xiao Cui, she spews blood. Miss Suzaku was alone, so she recognized me as her uncle, and they all knew that. How could I hurt my niece? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the tenants who had come to help, and everyone had seen them yesterday, so they all nodded in acknowledgement.

The person who poisoned the poison is basically determined, and only the source of the poison is missing.

"Xiaocui, where did this poison come from?"

"It was given to me by Zhu Dalong. It was Yao Biren who said that there was a rat infestation at home, so he asked Zhu Dalong for it. ”

"Really? The tenant doesn't know that Zhu Dalong is alone, why are you only looking for him? It's not really coming. ”

Xiao Cui had a hard time discerning, and found that it was useless to say anything more, so she simply kept silent.

After the arrest head confirmed the facts, and the human and material evidence were all there, he ordered Xiaocui and Zhu Dalong to be locked up in the ancestral hall, and when the cause of death of Zhu Ruoyu's family was investigated, they were escorted back to the county government for processing.

Everyone dispersed, and the old patriarch also cooperated to go back, and in a blink of an eye, the courtyard was much more deserted.

As a family member, Yao Biren made all the arrangements properly.

The days passed, and the night came. According to custom, people are to be arranged to keep vigils, and they must be relatives. Suzaku has no relatives, no, and Yao Biren, who thinks he is an uncle. Therefore, the heavy duty of the vigil can only be done by himself.

Suzaku's body was parked in the living room, and the tables and chairs were removed, and a simple mourning hall was arranged.

In fact, the customs here are very particular, and the same is true for funerals. If you pass away normally, you will basically be parked for five days, and if you have a distant relative, it may be as long as seven days. There is an item every night, such as resignation, burial, and delivery. If you are over 90 or 100 years old, you will have to mourn, and there will be more projects. There are many titles such as Mr. Big, please master, point master, etc. It is precisely because of this that most people's families have to be hollowed out after the funeral, so it is slowly simplified.

Suzaku belongs to horizontal death, which is relatively simpler. Stop for one night, and the next day you'll be in the ground.

Looking at the black coffin parked in the room, Yao Biren also beat a drum in his heart. As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. Yao Biren has a ghost in his heart, so he always feels a little chill down his spine.

Pick up the wick of the white candle in front of the coffin, pick up a stick of incense and light it, respectfully place it on the incense burner, and chant silently in your heart.

"Suzaku, you can't blame me, who made you my wealth. If you want to blame, blame you for being too young. Ansheng's reincarnation, find a good family. I will accompany you to the soul and send you to the end, and I will do my best. ”

Feeling better in his heart, he sat down alone on the mat before the spirit.

The candlelight jumped, pulling the black shadows in the room up and down, and Yao Biren's heart rose and fell again, and a sense of fear rose for no reason. I got up and carefully inspected Suzaku's coffin, and there was nothing abnormal, so I sat down for a while. His mind became more and more restless, Yao Biren really couldn't stay, returned to his house, drank a pot of wine, and the cowardice in his heart fell.

When he came to the mourning hall again, he leaned back on the chair and fell asleep with the help of alcohol.

The night of late autumn was already a little cold, and Yao Biren woke up at midnight. Autumn is also the windy season, when a gust of wind blows out the white candles. Yao Biren shivered, hurriedly ran over to relight the white candle, burned another stick of incense, and then sat on the cushion.

Yao Biren ignored a point, he didn't pay attention to Suzaku's coffin, the coffin board that had been covered was standing on the wall behind the coffin at the moment, and the inside of the coffin was also empty.

When the person woke up, the wine came up, Yao Biren only felt that his mouth was dry, and his mouth seemed to be on fire, so it would be good to have a cup of tea to drink.

As soon as Yao Biren had risen to this thought, a hand stretched out from behind him and handed it to him, holding a tea bowl with tea in the bowl.
