Chapter 421: Poisoning

This means that Sister-in-law Xue and the others first had a conflict with someone in the school house on Liuxin Street, and then broke into the mansion.

There is less than tea time in between.

And can make them ignore the big fight, and even keep shouting that the court wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill them, unless someone hurts them first, and even gives them a feeling that they are in danger.

Su Ruan looked at Mo Linglan: "I remember that the fourth brother said that after Jing Nan's accident, Brother Mo and your brother have been sending people to keep an eye on these people, which means that the people in the Zhizhou Mansion who are also guarding outside should not do anything." ”

"If someone really does something, it can only be the cook or the teacher who helps in it."

Later, all the conflicts were concentrated on the side of the government, and those who did it ran away on the charge of "murdering the court officials".

Crean Longan wants to protect himself and only cares about arresting people and shirking responsibility, while Mo Linglan has to deal with Crean Longan's side, block the news from entering the capital, and find people before those people in the government.

So much so that everyone forgot to think about the reason for the incident.

Mo Linglan's face turned pale, and he slammed the table: "Why didn't I think of this." ”

"That's your stupidity." Qi Wenfu's complaints were merciless.

Su Ruan sighed lightly beside him, rubbed his knees and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to check after so many days, if those people really have any problems, even if they don't run, they will be killed." ”

People who act are thoughtful in every way, and it is impossible to leave such a big flaw.

Qi Wenfu heard that his eyebrows were full of gloom, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the government to see the situation first." ”

……

It's also quick to call everyone over there, and the yacha is ready-made, so that people can go back to the yamen with a notification, but the people who helped in the school house before were a little troublesome and took some time.

Qi Wenfu waited for Su Ruan to eat the breakfast sent by his grandmother, and after drinking the medicine, he went to the Zhizhou Mansion with Su Ruan and Mo Linglan.

When they saw Crease Longan, they saw that his face was blue.

The three of them had a premonition in their hearts, I was afraid that what Su Ruan had just said would come true.

Sure enough, after Crepe Longan welcomed them in, he said with some embarrassment: "All the people in the yamen are all together, but there is a problem among the people who help in the school." ”

"A mother-in-law who was cooking in it during that time, as well as the teacher Mr. are gone, I sent someone to the home address they left to see, the mother-in-law has long been gone, and the teacher is not from Jingzhou at all."

Hearing this, Mo Linglan asked, "It's not from Jingzhou, how did you find him?" ”

Ye Ping, who was standing next to him, said guiltily: "It's my fault, at that time, Lord Crepe said that there was a lack of a teacher, I originally wanted to go to a private school in the city to find someone to come back, but on the way to meet a poor Xiucai who fainted without eating." ”

"I've seen his handwriting, his writing is excellent, and he speaks and behaves in a sven manner, only saying that his family has suffered a disaster and came to Jingzhou to find relatives."

"I thought that those children were enlightenment, and that Xiucai was difficult, so I brought him back and asked him to teach those children."

Mo Linglan: "......"

He wanted to scold, but he didn't know where to scold.

Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan had already prepared, so they weren't too disappointed, Qi Wenfu asked, "How did you find that missing mother-in-law?" Is there anyone else in the family? ”

Crepe Longan looked at Ye Ping.

Ye Ping hurriedly said: "That Wang mother-in-law is alone, her husband died in her early years, and later her son also died, and she has no other relatives around her, so she often takes some laundry, cooking, and taking care of people in the city, and earns some silver to support herself." ”

"At that time, when the adults explained that they wanted to find someone, I arranged for someone to find someone, and Mrs. Wang often took the job, so I brought her back with the other three people."

Qi Wenfu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Most of these people who take jobs in the market have seniors and introducers, and they have a wide range of connections, so that they can know where they need people and have extra work to do." ”

"Lord Crepe, you send someone to ask the place where these small workers gather in Jingzhou City, maybe there are people who are familiar with the princess and can get some news from them."

Mo Linglan spoke: "I'll go too!" ”

Qi Wenfu thought about it, Mo Linglan acted cautiously, and some details could be inquired about clearly, he nodded: "Then you take someone with you, try to ask as clearly as possible, and it is best to find clues." ”

Xuan Longan hurriedly said, "Ye Ping, you take Master Mo with you." ”

Ye Ping also knew that he had done something wrong before, and he had let go of the important people, so he hurriedly agreed, and led Mo Linglan out of the mansion, while here, Qi Wenfu turned to the rest of the people.

He skimmed over the yacha first, and just looked at the rest of the people.

"You're all working in the house over there, do you know what happened that day?" Qi Wenfu asked.

The people looked at each other for a moment, and one of the middle-aged men whispered, "My lord, we really don't know anything. ”

"The villains were all helping to cook in the back kitchen, and that day we made the meal as usual, as before, and let those people come and take it away, and after a while, there was a commotion in front."

"We only heard that the people who lived in it broke out and injured the people guarding the door, and it didn't take long for them to say that they killed the general judge over there and ran away, and we don't know any more."

Several people next to him also spoke one after another when they heard this,

"It's true, we really don't know anything, and we don't hurt anyone."

"Zhang Da is right, we were all in the back kitchen at that time, and we didn't know what was going on in front of us."

"Those people have nothing to do with the killing, we just took the silver to help with the work, and ask the adults to investigate."

Qi Wenfu listened to their urgent explanations, paid attention to their expressions, and asked after a while, "Then did you find any other abnormalities that day, which are different from usual?" ”

"And Mrs. Wang, she helped in the back kitchen with you, what did she do that day?"

Several people looked at each other when they heard this, and they all shook their heads: "It seems that she didn't do anything, she has been in charge of choosing vegetables and washing dishes, and she has been in the kitchen that day......"

"No, I remembered!"

One of the younger women suddenly spoke, "That day, Mrs. Wang stood by the basin where the meat was made for a while, and when I saw her, she lifted the lid and didn't know what she was doing. ”

Qi Wenfu squinted slightly: "What about the meat?" ”

"We brought it home."

The middle-aged man said before, "After they had a quarrel that day, they didn't eat, and when we went to clean up, we saw that the food was scattered all over the ground, and there was blood on it." ”

"The meat is good, some of it has been trampled on and can't be eaten, but the rest is just dust."

"A few of us felt reluctant, so we picked out the good ones and rinsed them with water, and then brought them back to the house, and threw the rest out."

As soon as the man's voice fell, someone in the yacha suddenly spoke: "Where did you throw it?" ”

The man said, "Throw it into the bucket of swill." ”

The Yacha's face was ugly when he heard this, "My lord, a few days ago, the dung remover in the city came to report the case, saying that someone had poisoned his pigs, and he had been collecting swill from a piece of water nearby, and his pigs were also fed with swill......"

Everyone present fell silent in an instant.

And the faces of those who came home from picking up meat were white.
