Chapter 25: The Death of He Kainong
After Situ Yimo learned that He Kainong committed suicide, he immediately went to the morgue, at this moment he was conducting an autopsy, and the head catcher happened to be here, he saw Situ Yimo coming, and his legs were unconsciously a little weak.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to see that he hadn't offended this lord before, otherwise his head would not be on his neck now!
"The county lord of Anhe--" Zheng Pengxian, the head catcher, straightened his throat and saluted respectfully towards Situ Yimo, "There were many rudeness of villains before, and I hope that the county lord of Anhe will be gracious, don't worry about me." ”
Situ Yimo's eyebrows trembled slightly, glanced at Zheng Pengxian lightly, and did not say much, but walked to the side of the corpse, and saw that the autopsy was being performed, so he asked.
"Poisoned?"
Hearing the fluttering words of the county lord of Anhe, Zheng Pengxian not only did not relax, but instead tensed up, and replied respectfully, "Back to the county lord, yes, when we were about to go to pick up someone, we found that He Kainong had died of poison in his cell, and this bottle of poison was also found in his sleeve. ”
Situ Yimo took the small blue porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it, a bit like peacock bile. She is not proficient in poison, but she only knows a little bit about it when she sees Du Li often fiddling with poison.
If only Du Li were here.
"But where did he get this bottle of poison?"
The head catcher was stunned for a moment, and then asked people to bring the witness up, and the one who was arrested was He Kainong's personal servant, named Zhao Risheng.
"Don't hurry up and join the Lord of Anhe!" Seeing that he was still standing still in a daze, for fear that he would collide with the county lord of Anhe, he hurriedly scolded.
"Yes, yes, villain Zhao Ritian, participate in the county lord of Anhe." Zhao Risheng knelt on the ground, trembling all over, looked up at He Kainong's corpse, and suddenly his face changed greatly.
"Who asked you to buy this poison?" Situ Yimo walked up to him with the poison and asked directly.
Zhao Risheng swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to look directly at Situ Yimo, didn't look at the blue porcelain bottle, and hurriedly nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, the uncle told the little one to buy it." ”
"You don't even look at it, you know it's the poison you bought?"
"Small, small ......"
"Do you know what kind of poison this is?"
"Holes, peacock bile."
Situ Yimo's eyes narrowed, seeing that his hands were trembling, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you buy this poison when did you?" Where did you buy it? Why did He Kainong buy poison? ”
"This peacock bile was bought by Lang Zhong who the villain met on South Street the day before yesterday, and the uncle said that he wanted to poison Second Master Zhao, so he asked the villain to buy it."
These words are said smoothly!
"Lang Zhong on South Street?"
"Yes."
Situ turned the small porcelain bottle with Mo Baize's fingers, listening to Zhao Risheng's words, she just glanced at him lightly, returned the poison to the head catcher, and asked, "Can his words be verified?" ”
The shopkeeper replied, "Just now, the villain has already let his brothers go to South Street, but South Street is a little far away from the Yamen, and I am afraid that I will need to delay some time when I come and go." ”
Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows and did not speak, but walked to He Kainong's body and took a closer look.
It's not strange to catch the head, he was curious about a girl's family having to hang around next to the corpse, but now that he knows her identity, what else can he see?
That's the Lord of Anhe! The famous Weicheng Yaksha! The head of the county magistrate in the next county was cut off by her sword! I heard that the blood was flowing all over the ground at that time, and the eyes of the county commander were still round!
Just thinking about it makes me feel horrible!
This Anhe County Lord is even more terrifying!
"As far as this county lord knows, this peacock bile is not common, so who is Langzhong?" Situ Yimo suddenly asked, looking over with cold eyes.
Zhao Risheng trembled for a moment before he replied, "That Langzhong is a famous figure in Nanjie, known as a blind cat, and he has a lot of poison in his hands!"
"Blind cat?"
"Ahh O my brother! ”
Situ Yimo was about to ask, when he heard the sound of crying and crying, and saw a woman dressed in fancy clothes running crying, rushing directly to He Kainong's corpse, crying.
"Who is she?"
"Returning to the county lord, she is He Kainong's sister and the concubine of our county commander."
The corners of Situ's eyebrows trembled slightly, so it was! In that case, this He Kainong really has something to do with the county order!
"In this way, He Kainong is also your lord's brother-in-law?"
"Yes."
"In that case, where are you adults? There have been two murders, and one of them is still his brother-in-law, why don't you adults? ”
Just as he was about to answer, he saw Master Hu coming, his gloomy eyes glanced at Aunt He, and then respectfully saluted Situ Yimo.
"The villain is the master of the Yamen, and his surname is Hu, see the county lord of Anhe."
"It turned out to be Master Hu, get up."
"Xie An and the county lord."
Situ hooked the corners of his lips lightly, an aunt who He Kainong was involved in the county order, and there is another master at this time?
If I was not mistaken, there was murderous intent in the eyes of this Master Hu who looked at Aunt He just now.
That's a lot of fun!
"The lord knew that the county lord of Anhe had come to the county office, and he wanted to come to see him in person, but last night the lord contracted the cold, and he was afraid that he would collide with the county lord's ceremonial drive, so he asked the villain to come over to make amends."
When Master Hu saw Situ Yimo, he was also in awe, especially the cold aura emanating from her body, which made his back chill.
"I see."
Situ Yimo chuckled, and was just about to speak, but Aunt He suddenly ran towards her again, knelt at her feet, crying and shouting, this series of actions really scared her.
"County Lord! You have to be the master of the concubine's brother! ”
Situ Yimo was stunned for a moment, raised her eyebrows and looked at her. "Calling the shots? Didn't your brother kill himself? Also, he killed Zhao Er. ”
"Impossible!"
Aunt He wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and when she heard Situ Yimo's words, she immediately denied it, asserting that it was impossible, "County Lord, the concubine's brother has been greedy for life and afraid of death since he was a child!" There is no way to kill yourself!"
"Aunt He, Uncle He committed suicide in fear of sin." Master Hu hurriedly interrupted Aunt He and interjected.
"Nonsense!!"
Aunt He glared at Master Hu and immediately retorted, "My brother has no grievances with that Zhao Er, why do you want to kill him!"
"The evidence that Uncle He killed Zhao Er is conclusive, Aunt He, although you are heartbroken, you can't cover up his sins in front of the county lord of Anhe!" Master Hu's face sank, looked at Aunt He, and said in a deep voice.
"You!"
"Lord Anhe, don't listen to Master Hu's nonsense, the concubine's brother is really innocent and innocent with that Zhao Er! Won't kill him! You have to call the shots for your brother! Aunt He glared at Master Hu, and then pleaded with Situ Yimo, her voice was soft, with a crying tone, which made her goosebumps when she heard it.
"The concubine's brother really died so unjustly!"
Seeing Aunt He crying, Master Hu's face became deeper and deeper, his eyes were cold, and then he glanced at Zhao Risheng, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Uncle and Second Master Zhao have some festivals." Zhao Ersheng suddenly spoke, he trembled a little, and said cautiously, "Uncle fell in love with Miss Cui'er in the Red Sleeve Workshop and wanted to redeem her, but the Second Master Zhao robbed the uncle, and the two of them still fought in the Red Sleeve Workshop......"
"You talk nonsense!"
Aunt He suddenly glared at Zhao Ersheng and asked him tremblingly, "You are the eldest brother's little servant!" actually helped outsiders frame my brother! Say, "What is your heart?"
"The villain is wronged! It's true! The people in the Red Sleeves can testify!"
"You!"
"Even so, no matter how small my brother is, he won't kill for a girl from the Red Sleeve Workshop! The beautiful lady beside him is more than a cui'er!"
"But that peacock bile is indeed bought by the uncle and asked the villain! The uncle also said in front of the villain that he wanted to kill Zhao Er!"
"What a daring minion! How dare you slander your master! I'm an adult's concubine! Believe it or not, I'll beat you to the top of the board!"
"The villain didn't lie! It's all true! ”
"Nonsense! Although my brother is stupid on weekdays, he is not stupid enough to kill Zhao Er himself!"
"What's more, my brother is also the brother-in-law of an adult, isn't it easy to hire a killer to kill someone? Why do you want to do it yourself!"
Situ Yimo saw that they were arguing, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he looked at Aunt He quite interestingly, smiling silently.
Seeing this, Master Hu's face was not good, he glanced at Situ Yimo, his heart sank, thinking that Lord Anhe must have doubts!
It's all to blame on this Aunt He, what kind of situation did she come out to stir up! Obviously, people watched her, but they still let her run out!
What a damn one!
"County Lord, the concubine's brother really died unjustly! He's not going to kill himself!" Aunt He scolded Zhao Risheng so much that she didn't dare to reply, so she looked at Situ Yimo and pleaded.
"Aunt He, the evidence is conclusive, you still don't have to get entangled anymore." Master Hu's tone was already a little wary.
Aunt He has always been favored by the county magistrate, how could anyone dare to scold her, she glared at Master Hu, suddenly thought of something, and said, "I absolutely don't believe that my brother killed Zhao Er for the sake of the servant!"
"If you want to say that you have a grudge against Zhao Er, Master Hu, you are!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!!" Master Hu's heart sank, and he shouted without thinking about it, and his tone was very unkind.
"You dare to murder me!"
Aunt He said angrily, "You are just a little master!" To put it bluntly, you're a dog raised by an adult's side! You still dare to murder me!"
"You!" Master Hu was so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't breathe.
"What am I!" Aunt He sneered, "The night before yesterday, I saw Master Hu arguing with Zhao Er!" I think that Zhao Er was killed by you! You see my brother is stupid, so he blamed him!"
As she spoke, tears fell like beans, crying out for her eldest brother, "Poor my brother, he was blamed, and now he is dying tragically!"
"O my poor brother!"
"County Lord, you have to be the master of the concubine's brother!"
Situ Yimo rubbed her eyebrows, listening to Aunt He's cry, she looked up at the headcatcher, thought about it, and said.
"Since the county lord has encountered these two cases, he will not sit idly by, whether it is He Kainong's death or Zhao Er's death, the county lord will find out."
As soon as the words fell, her voice changed, she looked at Master Hu, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the county government after all, let's let your county magistrate come out and take care of it." ”
