Chapter 50: Money, People
He asked the coroner for a pair of gloves, took out a wooden box from his bosom, took out a silver needle and inserted it into the corpse's stomach for a few moments, and then pulled it out, the end of the silver needle was obviously discolored, but it was not black, but dark red.
Meng Guang's expression changed, and he asked someone to bring a bowl of water, and threw the silver needle into it, and the bowl of water instantly turned into a crimson color.
Meng Guang took a breath, turned to Wan Qiyan and said, "Holy Lord, this poison comes from Qianjinlou and is called Red Scorpion. ”
Wan Qianyan's expression was a little weird, "Is it really a thousand golden buildings?" ”
Meng Guang nodded, extremely sure, "Yes!" ”
The expressions of the other people have changed, and who has never heard of the famous Qianjin Building in the rivers and lakes.
Qianjinlou is famous in the rivers and lakes for no more than two reasons: there is money and people!
It is rumored that the owner of the building loves gold the most, and there are countless capable people in the building, and they must prepare thousands of taels of gold before doing things.
But there is also an unwritten rule in the Qianjin Building, that is, what the landlord does not want to do, even if he does not do ten thousand taels of gold.
To put it bluntly, everything depends on the mood of the owner of the golden building!
And the imperial court has always allowed the existence of this Qianjinlou, and one reason is that Qianjinlou has not done anything to lose its conscience over the years. Even if you kill someone, you kill most of the people who should be killed, so the methods have always been a little cruel.
"This method of killing people and skinning is similar." Wan Qichen's expression was faint, and his voice was cold.
Before, Wan Qianyan must have thought of Qianjinlou because of poison and skinning, so he hurriedly sent Meng Guang to come.
Qin Jiu's hand trembled uncontrollably, her attention was all on Pinglan's corpse, but she forgot that her hand was still being held by Wan Qianchen, and her reaction was all noticed by him.
Wan Qichen's eyes were cold, and he didn't speak again.
After An was shocked, he said in a cold voice, "Ridiculous! Pinglan is just a maid, why did Qianjinlou do it to her? It's not that some people are suspicious and want to confuse the public. ”
As she spoke, her eyes stared at Qin Jiu for a moment.
Pinglan is a little maid, so naturally it is not worth spending a thousand taels of gold to invite someone from Qianjinlou to kill her. But if no one invites Qianjinlou, why would the people of Qianjinlou attack her?
This is not only An's disbelief, Wan Qiyan is also a little skeptical.
But Meng Guang said on the side, "The minister has seen a person who has been hit by a red scorpion before, and he will never admit his mistake." And the red scorpion of Qianjinlou never spreads it, which cannot be faked. ”
This matter has obviously become a little complicated now, Wan Qichen raised his eyebrows and looked at An Rong with an ugly face on the side, "It seems that An Guohou should think carefully about whether he has offended anyone?" The main hall felt that the matter of picking up the star platform could not be said to be the work of the Qianjin Tower. ”
An Rongmei's heart jumped, and he felt a little weirdly uneasy.
It is common to erect enemies in the officialdom, not to mention that the Marquis of Anguo Mansion has been in existence for hundreds of years, even if there are a few feuds that are normal, could it be that there is really someone who wants to find trouble in the Marquis Mansion, and the revenge is coming?
Only An Shi said strongly: "That doesn't prove that the people from Qianjinlou were not invited by the Qin family." ”
Wan Qichen laughed, gently raised his hand and stroked Qin Jiu's hair, glanced at her, and spoke when Qin Jiu was a little stiff, "Jiu'er doesn't have so much spare money, and he can spend thousands of taels of gold to ask someone from Qianjinlou to kill someone." What's more, even if there is, it is not worth using on such a subordinate. ”
"Besides, she has been staying in the mansion all day now, and the main hall knows best what she has done. The Queen Mother thinks she can have the ability to invite Qianjinlou now? ”
