Chapter 118: It's good if you don't make it easy
Everyone couldn't help but be curious when they heard Situ Yimo say strange, Hu Yingzhou looked at the grass in her hand that looked like antlers, frowned, and was also curious about what she meant by strangeness, so she asked.
"Lord Anhe said it was strange, I don't know what strangeness he was referring to?"
Situ Yimo smiled and explained, "Well, this fluttering butterfly is a relatively common poisonous weed, but it is less toxic and not fatal, and sometimes, some villagers will use it to treat their throats. ”
After speaking, she glanced at the doctor who had been invited, and the doctor understood, nodded and said, "Yes, some medical centers will also use it for medicinal purposes, because its medicinal value is better than the toxicity of the butterfly." ”
Lord Nirui didn't understand a little, "Anhe, what do you want to express?" ”
Situ Yimo smiled, no longer going around in circles, and said directly, "The reason why the butterfly is a butterfly is because this grass has a floral fragrance, just like a butterfly that rests on pollen, it can absorb the fragrance of flowers." The most important thing is that if you have touched a butterfly, this person will definitely be dyed with powder like the powder on the butterfly's body. ”
The doctor nodded again, "Yes, as long as you have touched a butterfly, your hands or clothes will definitely be stained with blue powder, which is generally not easy to wash off." ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't understand at first, and then everyone's eyes first fell on Ge Qing's body, and there was indeed blue powder on the corners of her skirt.
"Yikes! How easy it is to have hands, and there is also blue powder on the soles of the shoes!" I don't know who shouted, everyone's eyes looked at Jian, and sure enough, he also had blue powder on his body.
Jane's face turned pale and his face was uneasy. Jian Zheng looked up at Situ Yimo, who was smiling lightly, and a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes.
"Didn't you say you're the only one who has ever touched a butterfly? So why does Simple also have butterflies on his body? Hu Yingzhou said coldly.
"Servant, servant...... ......"
Ge Qing panicked, not knowing what to say for a while.
Seeing what Jian wanted to say, Jian Zheng immediately gave him a fierce look, glanced at Situ Yimo, and then looked at Master Li and said.
"Lord Qiyu, the villain's nephew and this maidservant... There is a personal relationship, just now the villain went to West Street, just to stop them. ”
Hearing this, Lord Li sweated on his forehead, and he was dissatisfied with this housekeeper in his heart, since he wanted to explain, he would say a few more words!
How does this make him excuse the simplicity? These two county lords are not easy to fool! He's really anxious!
"Hmph, there's no butterflies on the floor in that room! They just have a personal relationship, and they can't get on their shoes if they touch it! What's more, there are no butterflies on Ge Qing's shoes!" The Lord of Neon Snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Gan Tang and Xinglu's faces turned slightly red, and when they saw that their county lord also frowned, his face was a little embarrassed, but Gan Tang signaled to remind the county lord of Nirui.
But she knew that the county lord of her family had always been informal, but a boudoir lady really shouldn't say it so bluntly, if this spread, her county lord's reputation would not be good.
Although the lord of her family has long been known as a Yaksha.
"County Lord--" pulled Ni Rui's county lord's clothes.
Lord Li was embarrassed, then cleared his throat and asked, "What Lord Nirui said is true, how to dye your body with the powder of butterflies, from the truth!"
"Villain, villain......"
Just when Jian Jian didn't know what to say, he saw a rich and noble son coming, this person was wearing an orange brocade robe, and the jade pendant on his waist was engraved with a macro character, this person was Pei Guogong's second son, Pei Jinghong.
"Pei Sangongzi--"
When Lord Li saw that it was the third son of the Pei family who came, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly picked up the black gauze hat, hurriedly came down to salute and shout.
"Master Li doesn't need to be polite, my son heard that my Pei family's housekeeper and my brother's little servant were arrested and came to the Yin Yamen, so I came to take a look." Pei Jinghong glanced at Hu Yingzhou as if he didn't have anything.
"Hmph, Pei Sangongzi has such a big shelf, he can't even salute when he sees the county lord." Lord Li of Nirui County snorted coldly with a fearful and flattering face.
When Pei Jinghong heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the county lord of Nirui, but his eyes were on the beautiful woman beside her, it was obvious that he had seen her for the first time, but the temperament of her arrogant snow and frost made him stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something, and guessed her identity.
"Xia Guan has seen the county lord of Nirui, the county lord of Anhe, and the two county lords are fine."
"Hmph." The county lord of Nirui had a bad complexion.
Situ Yimo This is the first time she has seen the Pei family, thinking of Du Li, who is far away in Pucheng, and the despicable practices of Baihualou, she has no good impression of the people of the Pei family.
Although Hu Yingzhou didn't like Pei Jinghong in his heart, he didn't show half a point on his face, he blessed Pei Jinghong a little, and said, "Pei Sangongzi is busy with everything, and he can still come to the Yin Yamen, it seems that Steward Yi is quite respected by the third son." ”
Pei Jinghong raised his eyebrows, but he didn't smile, "This is natural, after all, it is from my Pei family, Steward Yi has worked hard for my Pei family for decades, and now that I have come to Fu Yin, I naturally have to come and take a look, so as not to be wronged." ”
"Grievance?" Hu Yingzhou clenched his fists slightly, his father was killed like this, isn't he wronged.
"I am also very saddened by Hu Shilang's death, and I hope that Hu Gongzi's festival will be smooth."
"Thank you Pei Gongzi for your concern."
Situ Yimo saw that these two people were perfunctory, and frowned helplessly, she didn't like officialdom the most. But since she wants to investigate the case, she has to find the murderer, as for the affairs of the court, it is good to have his second uncle, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is watching.
"Pei Gongzi is here to observe? Or are you here to hear the case? ”
When Pei Jinghong heard the cool voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Naturally, I came to listen, I have long heard that the county lord of Anhe has been given the sword by the Holy Lord, and he can investigate the unjust case, and today I am fortunate to see the majesty of the county lord." ”
The county lord Nirui wanted to say something, but was stopped by Situ Yimo, she didn't say anything more to Pei Jinghong, but waited for the servant to come and tell the cause of death, because the hour had come, if it was useful, the servant could know the cause of Lord Hu's death.
Sure enough, Qi Zuo really came at this moment, he nodded towards An and the county lord, and the corners of Situ Yimo's mouth rose.
"The villain Li Shi sees the adult."
"But the cause of death has been found?" The county lord of Nirui didn't wait for Lord Li to come out, so he asked anxiously.
Hearing the cause of death, the three kneeling people trembled unconsciously.
"Back to the county lord, the villain has found out the cause of Hu Shilang's death. With the method of the county lord of Anhe, it really worked. The scars that were originally hidden were all revealed, and there were bump marks on Hu Shilang's forehead and the back of his head, but this injury was not enough to be fatal. ”
Li Qizuo took a breath and hurriedly continued, "In addition, there is another scar that has also appeared, just about an inch above the knife wound, and this wound is the cause of Hu Shilang's death. ”
Situ hooked his lips and chuckled, this method really worked!
Seeing that Ge Qing and Jian Jian's faces were pale, Situ Yimo asked everyone to move to the morgue, this kind of cold and filthy place, Master Li was unwilling to go, but seeing that Pei Gongzi had gone, he had to follow.
As soon as they entered, a strong smell of white vinegar came, everyone was stunned at first, and then saw Situ Yimo quickly go in to check Hu Shilang's wound, Hu Yingzhou's face changed slightly, and it was indescribably complicated, after all, it was his father who was lying there.
Pei Jinghong looked at Situ Yimo in surprise, and turned into fun.
"Sure enough, this wound was fatal."
Situ Yimo looked at Ge Qing, "Didn't you say that Hu Shilang was poisoned by you?" ”
"Servant, ......"
"You may have really poisoned him, but you didn't kill Hu Shilang."
"This ......"
Master Li was puzzled, "County Lord, even if Hu Shilang was not poisoned by this maidservant, this does not rule out that she is not a murderer. ”
"Really?"
Situ Yimo smiled, "Although I said that Hu Shilang was not killed by her, I didn't say that it had nothing to do with her!" ”
"What does this mean, county lord?"
Hu Yingzhou suddenly understood something, "The location of the wound." My father is a seven-foot man, but this servant girl can't hurt my father even if she has her feet. ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at the location of the wound, and then roughly estimated Ge Qing's height, it was indeed unlikely that she had made it.
Who is the murderer?
Situ Yimo glanced at Hu Shilang's wound, and then at Ge Qing, and suddenly set his eyes on the pearl hairpin on Ge Qing's head, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over to take off her hairpin, and then quickly compared the wound, which was a perfect fit.
She didn't have two seconds for this action, and they just wanted to be surprised, but when they saw that the hairpin fit the wound, their faces suddenly changed greatly.
"This hairpin is a murder weapon!"
Jian Zheng's face was pale, and Jian Zheng's face was not very good. But Jian is his only nephew, and he still wants to keep him.
"Simple, you killed people!" Hu Yingzhou's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Slave..."
"Master Hu, the villain's nephew does have a personal affair with Ge Qing, but you can't wrongfully accuse him of killing the court officials!"
"I hope that the adult will be innocent for the little nephew."
Cold sweat broke out on Master Li's forehead, and the master also had a headache, so he immediately thought of a little and said, "Yes, this Hu Shilang Mansion, it's easy to get in!" ”
"That's right! Jian Jian is a slave of my Pei family, how can he appear in Hu Shilang's Mansion, will your Hu Mansion still let him swagger in? Pei Jinghong also spoke.
Hu Yingzhou clasped her hands tightly and was so angry that she didn't speak.
"Why not." Situ Yimo suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at Situ Yimo in surprise, Pei Jinghong heard this, and stared at her tightly, "Why did the county lord say this?" ”
Although the county lord of Nirui didn't know why Situ Yimo said that, she felt right only when she said it. What's more, where is Pei Jinghong's turn to question!
"An He said yes, yes!"
Situ Yimo looked at Ge Qing and smiled gloomily, "It's okay to be disguised!" ”
Hearing the word Yi Rong, Ge Qing's face was pale and bloodless, and Jian Jian was also shocked.
Pei Jinghong looked at Situ Yimo in surprise, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and then the corners of his mouth rose.
"Disguise?" Hu Yingzhou thought it was incredible.
The county lord of Nirui was also very surprised, "Yi Rong? Transfiguration? The Hu Mansion that was easily entered with the disguise technique? ”
Situ Yimo didn't answer directly, but asked Hu Yingzhou, "I remember that Hu Shilang has a scholar?" Heard he's gone? ”
"Exactly." Hu Yingzhou nodded.
"The scholar was still in the house that night, something happened to this Hu Shilang, why did he disappear the scholar?" Situ Yimo saw that their faces were not good, so he just smiled.
Suddenly looked at Ge Qing, who had been trembling, and asked from the bottom of his soul, "Are you really Ge Qing?" ”
