Chapter Ninety-Four: The Nine Heavens (48)
"This lady died of poisoning."
After examining the body, the old man wiped his hands with a coarse cloth.
Zengshou bent down and stared at the dead woman. The woman still had her hands on her throat, and her eyes were glaring. It's like I didn't believe I was dying like this.
"What poison? How was it poisoned? Zengshou sighed, took out a handkerchief and put it on Nan Niangzi's dead face.
The man was embarrassed: "The lips are black, the nails are blue, the purple spots appear on the body, and the sudden death must be poisoned, but what kind of poison is used, the small one has to go back and take a good look, so it will not be visible for a while." ”
"And how do you think it was poisoned?"
Longevity looks at Xiang Langzhong.
Luo Fan walked around the room, and saw two teacups on the table, which were used by Cen Lianguan when he sat here with Nan Niangzi before, and he went over to see that the two tea bowls were empty, so he raised them and shook them towards Zengshou.
Zengshou suddenly said: "Could it be that the tea is poisonous?" ”
"Ah, yes, hurry up and call someone to see Miss Cen, she's ...... Wouldn't it be poisoned too? ”
Luo Fan was anxious when he heard this, and turned to look at Cen Shisan: "Young Master Cen, go and see Miss Cen." ”
Nan Niangzi died suddenly, and Zengshou had to send someone to invite Cen Thirteen to come over. Cen 13 had already placed the marshal, so he hurriedly brought him over with Na Langzhong.
Zengshou grabbed him: "No, look at these two cups, they are placed next to each other, and you look here." ”
He pointed to the package on the table
Luo Fan's eyes widened and he took a closer look, and then looked at Zengshou: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Cen 13 said: "There is a bit of dim sum dregs here. ”
He reached out and touched the table, and raised his hand, the palm of his hand was a little bit of dregs, it should be steamed bun dregs or something.
"Yes, that's Nan Niangzi who ate here?"
Luo Fan looked at Cen Shisan's palm, shook his head and said, "Miss Cen didn't even have a snack, look at this is steamed bun dregs, right?" ”
"Yes, it's impossible for Miss Cen to give the guest a plate of steamed buns, so this steamed bun should be brought by Nan Niangzi in her own package."
Zengshou said as he unwrapped the package. Inside were a few old shirts, and a piece of washed cloth was wrapped in a steamed bun.
"Look, sure enough, I brought it myself, and I will check whether this is poisonous."
Zengshou handed the steamed bun to the servant.
"And this tea, you see, the two cups are side by side, I guess Miss Cen didn't drink tea at all, the tea was drunk by Nan Niangzi alone, she worked hard all the way, and she was probably hungry when she sat there. Nanda is known as a high man, since she is the one who complained, she must not want to eat the things in this house after coming in, so she ate the steamed buns in her package, the steamed buns are too dry and difficult to swallow, so she drank two cups of tea, and Miss Cen did not drink this tea. Excuse me, please test this too. ”
Zengshou pointed to the two tea bowls.
The doctor leaned over, picked up the tea bowl and looked at it carefully, and said, "My lord, this tea is really poisonous." ”
"Oh, you can see it by looking at it?" Luo Fan was skeptical.
"My lord, please see, here, this is not tea leaves, this is dried oleander leaves, mixed in this green tea can not be detected without looking carefully."
The doctor turned the bowl upside down, poured out all the tea leaves, pinched the tea leaves with his fingernails, and picked out the oleander leaves little by little.
"That's strange, this is the best fried green, it's this year's new tea, the taste is very light, if there are so many other things mixed in it, how can you not drink it?"
Luo Fan frowned, pinched a piece of soaked oleander leaves, leaned under his nose and sniffed it: "It's a little bitter, you can smell it, why can't you drink it?" ”
Cen 13 looked at Zengshou and smiled, and the latter spread his hands: "Okay, I'll just say that he is really stupid, his limbs are developed but his mind is lacking." ”
Luo Fan pinched the oleander leaf and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"It means don't forget, Nan Daren is a noble person, but also a clean official, he has no money to send the coffin back to the township after he hanged himself, or the same year to raise money together, this Nan family is poor, naturally can't drink any good tea, besides, Nan Niangzi is thirsty and hungry, where can I take care of the tea tastes wrong."
"Ahh That's it! ”
Luo Fan patted his head and exclaimed: "You are amazing, Nanda's family affairs have been investigated clearly." ”
"Of course, do you think that Master Bai really drinks tea and drinks wine when he goes around the teahouse every day? Spending a lot of money to support him needs to help me do something. ”
With a smug look on his face, Cen Thirteen lost no time in boasting: "It's making the adults really ice and snow smart." ”
Soon the maid serving tea was brought up.
The maid saw Nan Niangzi leaning on the chair at a glance, and screamed in fright.
Nan Niangzi leaned back on the chair in a daze, and her face was still covered with a veil to increase her longevity. No matter who takes a look, they will find that Nan Niangzi is a dead corpse.
"The tea you make is poisonous." Cen 13 got straight to the point.
The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down: "Master, the slave really doesn't know, this tea is from the lady's room, it was sent a few days ago, it was said to be this year's new tea, the young lady asked me to send it to the stove to make tea and send it over, the slave really doesn't know that this tea is poisonous." ”
The maid said that she would not admit anything.
Zeng Shou thought about it and beckoned Na Lang Zhong to lean over, whispered a few words in his ear, Lang Zhong turned around and left, Luo Fan asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zengshou squeezed his eyes at him: "Take something good, you'll know later." He looked at Cen Shisan again, "Trouble Mr. Cen, call all the idle people in the stove room, and I will ask them one by one." Well, Nan Niangzi's body can be moved, and there are strange and scary things here. “
Soon, the cook, the handyman, and the girl who burned the fire came. Lang Zhong also walked in with a white porcelain teapot, followed by a small servant, dragging a few tea bowls in his hands.
"Ready, sir." Lang Zhong put down the white porcelain teapot.
Cen Shisan looked at the teapot and tea bowl, instantly understood, looked at Zengshou and smiled slightly, expressing his approval.
"A few of you are from the stove." Longevity asked.
"Yes, sir."
"Look, you're boiling water there today, are these people there?" Zeng Shou pointed to the maid serving tea and asked.
The maid nodded.
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's have some tea."
Zengshou stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please. The chubby cook was a little flattered, rubbing his meaty hands: "Hehehe, my lord is so polite." ”
"Well, my lord, I am the most sympathetic, you are so busy for a long time, drink some tea to moisten your throat, I have something to ask after drinking."
Zengshou said and pointed to the maid: "Come, the little girl will start with you." ”
The little maid came over, blessed for a moment, and said, "Master Xie." As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea, turned it in his hand a few times and shook it, drank it warmly, and smacked his tongue after drinking, "It's a little bitter." ”
Everyone went to drink tea in turn. After drinking, Thickening nodded and said, "Very good, this is oleander water, which is the most great supplement." ”
As soon as the words fell, the cook's fat fingers reached into his mouth, picked hard, made a retching sound, and Zengshou sneered: "It's him." ”
