What Situ Yimo wanted to know was also taken out from Aunt Mo, so she asked her to go back first, saying that she would investigate clearly, and when Aunt Mo heard it, the county lord was willing to let her go, and her heart relaxed a little.

The county lord of Nirui listened to Yu Zhuang lying on the ground and shouted, and was very angry, so he dragged him down. She looked up and saw Situ Yimo meditating, didn't say anything more, and asked.

"Anhe, what do we do next? Are you going to West Street to arrest someone? ”

Situ Yimo shook his head, and glanced at Master Li with a vague look, which made Lord Li's back cold, and his body couldn't help but tremble, and he heard her cool voice sound.

"West Street, we don't need to go in person, maybe someone will catch Ge Qing before us."

Lord Nirui was surprised, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Situ Yimo saw that Tang Wuchi and Hu Yingzhou were standing here, she smiled, "I just need to find out who the murderer is, as for the involvement, the county lord will just ask, please take care of yourself." ”

Tang Wuchi and Hu Yingzhou were both stunned, then the two looked at each other, smiled lightly, nodded towards Situ Yimo, and left the house together.

Situ Yimo saw that they were all gone, so she went to the Yin Yamen with the lord of Nirui, and she didn't sleep all night, and the cause of Lord Hu's death has not been found out until now.

Obviously, the dagger was not the first tool to commit the crime, but the autopsy showed no signs of poisoning, and there were no other hidden wounds, which gave him a headache.

He had never seen such a strange corpse in all his years. But it was the court official who died, and if he couldn't find out the cause of death, he was afraid that he would be held accountable by the government.

"What is the situation now? The cause of Hu's death has not been found out? ”

Seeing that it was the county lord of Nirui and the county lord of Anhe, his forehead hurt, and he quickly knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, "The villain is shallow in knowledge, and the cause of the adult's death has not yet been found, please forgive the county lord." ”

"County Lord, my grandfather has not slept since yesterday, please watch my grandfather do his hard work and forgive my grandfather." The young man next to him also knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Seeing that these two people couldn't wait to ask for guilt, Situ Yimo frowned helplessly, walked towards the corpse while walking towards the corpse, and asked them to get up and say, "Don't be in a hurry to ask for guilt, the county lord didn't say that he would punish your crimes." ”

Li Zuo's grandson was stunned for a moment, and cautiously looked up to see that the two county lords directly skipped them to see the corpse, it really didn't look like they were going to punish the crime, his face was a little relieved, and he was busy getting up and going to the corpse.

Thinking of the question of the county lord of Anhe just now, he was about to reply, but he saw that the county lord of Anhe looked at the corpse as usual, without the slightest fear, and put on gloves to carefully examine the corpse.

In their cognition, not to mention that they are women, they do not change their faces around the corpses, and they take their noble status as the lowest job, and no noble person is willing to touch the bad luck of the dead.

But the two county lords in front of them stared at the corpse and examined it carefully, which was far beyond their cognitive domain.

But remembering the names of the two county lords in Weicheng, he calmed down his frightened mood a little.

"It's really strange, judging from the results of the autopsy, there are indeed no other wounds except for the dagger wound on the chest." Situ Yimo carefully examined the corpse, it was not like poisoning, there were no other internal or external injuries, there was only one dagger wound on the whole body.

Could it be that a dagger is really a fatal wound? But it shouldn't!

"No other scars? Does that mean that Master Hu was killed by this dagger? Lord Ni Rui asked.

Situ Yimo shook her head, a little unconvinced, and suddenly remembered something, she ordered the guards on the side, "Fetch some white vinegar and a few pieces of rice paper." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the guards brought white vinegar and rice paper, and Situ Yimo motioned for him to come over and asked him to paste the rice paper on the head of the corpse, chest, abdomen, and between the two ribs, pour white vinegar, and cover it with a straw mat.

Li Qian obviously didn't understand the intentions of the county lord of Anhe, but he still did as he was told.

The county lord of Nirui didn't understand what Situ Yimo meant, and asked curiously, "Anhe, what are you doing here?" ”

"This is a method I saw in the book, saying that rice paper dyed with wine vinegar was pasted on the corpse, and covered with a straw mat for an hour, so that the scars that were covered up could be revealed."

Situ Yimo explained, "However, I haven't used this method before, so I don't know if it works, so let's wait for it." ”

"I see."

The grandson looked at his grandfather in surprise, both of them surprised, obviously they had never seen such a method.

For now, though, we can only wait.

While waiting, seeing a snow-white bird flying over, Situ Yimo smiled, it was her acquaintance who came back.

Just now she gave way and took Zhizhi to find Ge Qing, and sure enough, news came after a while.

"Squeak squeak--"

"It's Zhizhi!"

Lord Nirui looked at the bird standing on Situ Yimo's shoulder in surprise, she recognized that this was Anhe's grandfather, the holy bird specially found by General Situ, who was extremely spiritual and had a keen sense of smell.

When they arrested criminals in Weicheng several times, they knew that they had contributed a lot.

"You asked Zhizhi to go to West Street to find Ge Qing?"

"Hmm."

"Xinglu brought back to the yamen?"

"It's not the Mansion Yin Yamen that Xinglu brought back."

Situ Yimo gently stroked Zhizhi's snow-white little head, and asked Gan Tang to hold Zhizhi to eat. Seeing that the county lord Ni Rui looked curious, she smiled and told Ni Rui that Xinglu called Zhizhi to go to West Street, and it didn't take a while.

Xinglu saw Ge Qing with a young man, and before Xinglu could show his hand, a middle-aged man appeared, holding poison, as if he wanted to kill Ge Qing, the young man pleaded, and the three of them were entangled for a while, and the eldest prince Hu took people out and arrested the three of them back to Fu Yin, who was on the way at this time.

The county lord of Nirui was very surprised, and then asked the identities of the two men, Situ Yimo just said a word Pei, the county lord of Nirui was shocked at first, and then smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

The corpse still needs to wait for an hour, Situ Yimo instructed Li to make a few words, and then went to the lobby with the county lord of Anhe to wait for Ge Qing and them, and specially asked Lizhuhu Mansion to invite Aunt Mo to come.

Sure enough, within a while, Hu Yingzhou and Yamen Li's people brought Ge Qing and two men to the court.

Lord Li is like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, he is so anxious that his feet are hot, on one side is the little prince and the two county lords, and on the other side is the Pei family, he can't afford to offend on both sides!

Oh, what's this called!

Lord Li saw the two county lords sitting in the hall leisurely, thinking about letting the county lord of Anhe judge the case, Situ Yimo naturally knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said that she was a first-order woman, how could she sit in the main chair of the court and judge the case.

The corners of Lord Li's mouth twitched, you are still a mere woman, and ten men may not be as good as you!

But it's right to think about it, since ancient times, there is indeed no woman who can go to court to judge the case.

So he had to go to court with the courage to go to court, slapped the board, and blamed, "Who is kneeling in the audience?" ”

"The maid Ge Qing is the maid of Hu Shilang's mansion."

"The villain Jian Zheng is the housekeeper of Pei's Mansion."

"The villain is simple, but he is the little guy of Pei Dagongzi."

Master Li listened, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked at the master who wrote the scroll in embarrassment, and saw that the master shook his head and motioned for him to interrogate Ge Qing.

Master Li immediately understood, and asked Ge Qing directly, "Bold minion, dare to murder Hu Shilang, are you guilty!"

Ge Qing's body trembled, she subconsciously touched her abdomen, and looked at the simple one on the side in fear. Her move fell into Situ Yimo's eyes, she looked at Ge Qing's stomach and had a faint guess

Simple couldn't bear it, he wanted to say something but was stopped by Jian Zheng, he looked at Ge Qing warningly, Ge Qing was in a tower, his teeth bit his lip, his heart was ruthless, and he raised his lips and said.

"The slave and maid were confused for a while, and killed Master Hu, and the slave confessed."

Master Li was obviously stunned by Ge Qing's confession, he thought he was going to waste a lot of effort, but he didn't expect her to recruit so easily.

"Since you have already confessed, the judge will sentence you ......"

"Wait."

Hu Yingzhou spoke at this moment, "After all, Ge Qing is still a maid in my house, and it is my father who kills, I always have to know, how did you kill my father, just by relying on you as a maid, you can kill the official master?" ”

Ge Qing noticed Hu Yingzhou's angry gaze, her body trembled, she grabbed her sleeve tightly, choked up, lowered her head and said, "The slave's father and mother were originally the slaves on Mrs. Zhuangzi, but there was a drought one year, which led to a bad harvest, but the adults blamed my father and mother for negligence and put my father and mother to death, I came to Hu Mansion just to take revenge!"

"I added a kind of **** to the medicinal diet of the lord and the lady, and I have been in the house for six years, and this **** has been for six years! originally wanted to keep them for another year, but unexpectedly, the old man was not in good health and died first.

Because I was afraid of being detected, I inserted a dagger, which made people mistakenly think that the old man had been killed with a dagger. That will give me time to get the poison out of the house. ”

A ruthless light flashed in Hu Yingzhou's eyes, and he forced Ge Qing, "What ****?" Where did you buy it? ”

"The maid's grandfather's family is selling herbs for a living, I have understood pharmacology since I was a child, I know a few herbs, the poison is prepared by myself, mixed in the medicinal diet, it is not easy to be detected, even if I die, I can't check it."

This testimony, after listening to it simply, does seem to be true, but the county lord of Nirui doesn't believe it, and Situ Yimo doesn't believe it.

"That's all the poison you're talking about?" Hu Yingzhou continued to ask, and took the medicine bag that the guard collected from the house, which was indeed medicinal herbs.

"Exactly."

Situ Yimo's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth sneered, he suddenly stood up, took the medicine bag in Hu Yingzhou's hand, opened it, took out the dried leaves in it, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this a deer leaf?" ”

Hu Yingzhou just wanted to ask something, but when he heard Situ Yimo say this, he couldn't help but be curious about her intentions, but he already knew about the ability of this Anhe County Lord, so he didn't say anything, just listen to her.

Ge Qing thought that the county lord An He was testing her, she looked up at the leaf shaped like a deer antler in Situ Yimo's hand, shook her head and said, "Back to the county lord, this is a butterfly, not a deer antler." ”

"Oh--it's a butterfly!"

Situ Yimo smiled, "You picked and dried this butterfly yourself?" No one has ever touched it? ”

Ge Qing didn't understand why Situ Yimo would ask this, she subconsciously looked at Jian Zheng, and seeing him frowning, she hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes." ”

"That's weird."
