Chapter 32: The Mystery
Xiaohong's tears couldn't stop flowing, "The owner of Shengda Gambling House took the slave maid to see his brother, the slave maid watched his brother being beaten, the slave maid desperately pleaded, they only gave the slave maid a bag of poison, let the slave maid frame Aunt He, and kill the master by Aunt He's hand." ”
Aunt He looked at Xiaohong with a very complicated expression, she wanted to say something, but she didn't interrupt her.
"The slave and maid are subordinates, where do they dare to kill the official master, but the slave and the maid dare not disobey! After returning to the mansion, seeing that Aunt He was sad about Uncle He's affairs, the slave persuaded Aunt He to go to see the master, and then took advantage of their inattention to put the poison in the sheep soup, and the slave and maid went back to the room by feeling unwell, and put the poison in Aunt He's room again. ”
"If you do this, although you can hurt me, you can't do it yourself!" Aunt He was very calm at this time, she looked at Xiaohong, who was crying and broke down, and said, "Although I treat Xiaohuan well to you, I have never treated you badly." ”
"It's the slave who is wrong, the slave and the maid should die, and the slave and the maid are also forced to be helpless! The slave knows it's wrong! Please don't kill slaves and maids! Xiaohong kowtowed desperately.
Situ Yimo didn't say anything when he listened, but looked at Qu Fanyou, thought for a while and asked, "Why did the owner of Shengda Gambling House kill Zheng County Ling?" Could it be that he has a grudge against Zheng County? Or is he also behind the instigation? ”
Qu Fanyou nodded and said, "The county lord is very smart, indeed, the owner of Shengda Gambling House is surnamed Hu, and he has nothing to do with Zheng County Ling, but this Boss Hu is Master Hu's cousin." ”
"Master Hu?"
Situ Yimo was slightly startled, thought about it, and suddenly the doubts in his heart became clearer little by little. If the owner of Shengda Gambling House is Master Hu's cousin, then it is naturally Master Hu who wants to kill Zheng County.
and Zhao Er, isn't he known as the God of Gamblers in Luo County? If he is connected with the grand gambling house, he will indirectly be related to Master Hu!
Two people who seemed to be unrelated before, but now they are implicated! Maybe it was Zhao Er who accidentally discovered some secret, so Master Hu would kill him with He Kainong's hand, but he didn't expect that she, the county lord, would happen to meet him.
He was worried that He Kainong would betray, so he killed He Kainong, what about Zheng County's order? He didn't dare to kill the court officials, it must be the master behind him who wanted to kill people.
How much power can a county order of just eight products have? What can the master behind him do with the county order? He did not hesitate to kill people to cover up this secret.
Situ Yimo thought of Youmengluo again, is it really related to the source of Zheng County's wealth?
But she had clearly read the account book before, and every account recorded on it was very clear, and she didn't find any problems.
"Lord Anhe, presumably the prefect is already here, and the person who should be arrested has also been arrested, and now I am waiting for the prefect to come to try the case."
Qu Fanyou asked Xiaohong a few more words, and he already had the answer in his heart, he saw that Situ Yimo seemed to be in a daze, paused for a moment, and said.
"Is the county going to observe?"
"Oh, no need, since the real murderer has been caught, the county lord will not join in the fun, and everything will be handled by the government." Situ Yimo came back to his senses and said with a light smile.
"Yes, then the lower official will go and prepare for the promotion." After Qu Fanyou saluted, he asked people to take Aunt He and them to the court, Bai Zhen glanced at Situ Yimo, smiled heartily, and also hugged his fists and saluted behind Qu Fanyou.
When Master Hu heard that someone from Dali Temple was coming, he immediately panicked, and it was just a matter of coming to Weicheng Shuangyasha, why did the people from Dali Temple come so soon!
Let him not be prepared at all!
He didn't have time to go to Shengda Gambling House to deal with it, not only that, but the account book was not found, if he let the boss know, not to mention that he couldn't live, his family would die!
How good is that?
Master Hu was wandering in the room, he thought that the Nirui County Lord was still interrogating Zhao Ersheng, and his heart was even more worried, he should have killed Zhao Ersheng at that time! If he were to confess himself, how would he get out?
No, Zhao Ersheng has no evidence in his hand, confess him, as long as he shouts injustice and doesn't admit it, it will be fine!
But the means of Dali Temple must be able to make people peel off their skins alive! It can also make the dead spit out the truth! It is called purgatory on earth!
If he falls into the hands of Dali Temple, the consequences will be ......
When Master Hu thought of purgatory on earth, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Bang bang--" There was a knock on the door outside the door, and someone shouted, "Master, the prefect has arrived, and the young man of Dali Temple ordered the hall to be opened immediately, and let his subordinates invite the master." ”
Master Hu's legs were weak, he forcibly calmed down, opened the door, and was about to speak, and heard that the catcher said that the young man of Dali Temple had arrested his cousin, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he secretly thought that it was not good, but he still followed the arrest to the court.
On the side of the cell, Zhao Ersheng had been devastated to the point that he was not human, and he did not have any scars on his body, but he felt that his stomach was turning upside down, and he was in pain, as if he was going to die, and in the end he still couldn't bear the means of Lord Nirui and admitted everything.
When the county lord of Nirui was done, he let Zhao Ersheng go to the court, and she went back to her room to sleep well.
Situ Yimo was also in the room at the moment, she looked at the two pieces of paper in her hand, and her head was racing. This was found by her from the Zheng County Order, when the pen and ink had just dried up, so it can be seen that he wrote it before he died.
The first piece of paper reads, "People in the grass and trees are not unintentional." ”
The second piece of paper reads, "My family washes the inkstone pond tree,
All the flowers bloom with light ink marks; Don't let people praise the color, just leave the air full of goodness! ”
Situ Yimo guessed that this was an anagram, and the first riddle was the word tea, but what does this tea mean?
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she thought of Youmengluo, could it be that this Youmengluo was specially prepared for them by Zheng County's order? He knew that her uncle's Qinfang Building was the No. 1 teahouse in the world, and he would definitely be able to taste Yumengluo, and he also knew its price.
So, Zheng Xianling wanted to lead her to suspect his money?
The second riddle should refer to plum blossoms, but what can plum blossoms represent? She remembered that there were plum trees in the palace.
Could it be that there is something under the plum tree?
Situ Yimo was a little puzzled, she thought that maybe she was thinking too much, maybe it was Zheng County's order that was written for fun. But what if it was really the death information left by Zheng County's order?
Zheng Xianling wrote a riddle before he died, instead of telling it directly, which should be to prevent Master Hu.
What the hell is this thing? Can Master Zheng be so cautious?
Why don't she go under the plum tree tonight?
"County Lord, County Lord!" Gan Tang shouted.
Situ Yimo was slightly stunned, and had a bad feeling, could it be another dead person? Or did the line reveal something?
Xinglu sent the bride and them back, and there should be no danger.
"What's wrong? So flustered? ”
"County Lord, it's not good, something happened in the court!"
Gan Tang gasped and said, "The slave went to the court to watch Master Qu try the case, this trial was good, and when Boss Hu was about to confess, suddenly he was shot through the heart by a sharp arrow, and he died at that time." ”
"Above the court, someone released arrows?"
"Yes! The white girl chased after her at that time!"
Situ Yimo was slightly startled, she suddenly felt nervous, remembering the paper left by Zheng County's order, she hurriedly put it away,
I'm afraid it's very complicated!
What kind of background does that person dare to kill in court! Dare to openly provoke Dali Temple!
"What about Master Hu? How is he? ”
"Then Zhao Ersheng confessed, saying that the peacock bile was given to him by Master Hu, and asked him to kill He Kainong, but Master Hu shouted injustice, Zhao Ersheng took out the money bag and said that the money was still given by Master Hu, and the money was the money of Shengda Gambling House, with the mark of Shengda Gambling House, Master Hu said that it was framed, and he didn't confess."
"Later, when Boss Hu died, this Master Hu would not recognize it, and Zheng County's order was ordered by him to be killed." Situ Yimo said indifferently.
She thought about it, her expression became a little complicated, she didn't expect that Zheng County's death would have such a complicated situation behind it.
It was originally conclusive evidence, but suddenly it became a headless case again.
"Anhe, Anhe!"
The county lord of Ni Rui ran over in a panic, and when he saw her sleepy-eyed appearance, he knew that she had just woken up, "I heard that someone assassinated her in the public court!"
"Well, that Boss Hu is dead." Situ Yimo walked over and motioned to Qi'er to tidy up the clothes of the Nirui County Lord.
"How can this be true? Someone dared to provoke in front of Dali Temple! Who doesn't know that Dali Temple is the territory of my prince's brother! They don't take Dali Temple in their eyes, they just don't take the prince's brother in their eyes!"
The county lord of Nirui was so angry that his little face turned red, and his eyes could burst into small flames!
"No, I have to go to the court!"
Situ Yimo saw that the county lord of Nirui was so excited, frowned, and followed over, at this moment the prefect was so frightened that he hid aside, Qu Fanyou was studying the poisonous arrow in his hand, and when he saw the county lord of Nirui coming, he was not surprised, and saluted respectfully.
"What about Master Hu?" The county lord of Ni Rui was a little angry.
"The lower officials have already asked him to be taken to the cell."
"The cell is good! The lord's favorite thing is the prison cell. ”
The county lord of Nirui went to the cell again without saying a word, Qu Fanyou wanted to say something, but was stopped by the county lord of Anhe.
"If you don't let her go, she may be able to tear down the yamen, don't worry, Ni Rui is measured, and she won't kill Master Hu."
Qu Fanyou nodded and didn't say anything. Situ Yimo frowned slightly when he saw that there was a faceless man above the court, and he explained that this person was a blind cat, who was almost killed a few days ago, and he rescued him.
"I see, no wonder Master Qu is very confident today, it turns out that no matter whether there is Xiaohuan's confession or not, you have evidence to convict Master Hu."
Situ Yimo was a little curious, Master Qu was able to save the blind cat, which means that he had been eyeing Master Hu for a long time, but Zheng Xianling was not dead at that time!
Why did the people of Dali Temple target Master Hu early, or rather, they originally came for the people behind Master Hu.
I'm afraid that the identity of the person behind it is a little complicated, and the people of Dali Temple can be dispatched, and this person is afraid that he is also an important minister of the court!
If it was really related to the important ministers of the court, then she didn't want to interfere very much.
