Chapter 229: Unbelief

Mr. Yucheng is worthy of being the right-hand man of King Yu, he knows that the Zhang family is closely monitored when he initiates it, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family must not have the opportunity to transport the poisonous utensils out of the house, since it is not hidden in his own yard, it must be in someone else's yard, or even - the main hall of the Zhang family.

So when he found nothing, he took the initiative to go to the main hall of the Zhang family, and the coffin of the old lady doctor was parked in front of the hall.

Mr. Yucheng confessed, but still ordered someone to open the coffin of the old lady Zhang, he wore leather gloves to check them one by one, and finally found an ordinary carved paperweight lying at the feet of the old lady doctor in a strange posture, obviously, someone was in a hurry to stuff in.

He immediately sent someone to report to Qin Shao, and summoned two imperial doctors to examine it together.

"This paperweight is indeed weird, the color on it seems to be dyed with some special juice, but whether it is toxic or not needs to be studied again." Taiyi said.

"There's no need to research, it's a kind of poisonous weed that has been soaked in sap, and if you contact the skin for a long time, you will be invaded by the juice. "Mr. Yucheng has been in Yuzhou City for many years, and he has also studied poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs, and he has a lot of Lingnan poisons, which is far more knowledgeable than the imperial doctors in Chang'an City.

"Is it really this paperweight that is still dead?" Some doctors were skeptical, and although Mr. Yucheng had always asked them to inspect with leather gloves, he could not conclude that there was a problem with the paperweight based on his empty words alone.

Mr. Yucheng immediately quoted scriptures and explained it.

"Nonsense! My father had been practicing medicine for many years, and if there was such a poisonous weed, he would not have reacted at all. Imperial Physician Zhang hurried home and retorted when he saw this.

Mr. Yucheng shook his head: "It's not that the hospital doesn't know the toxicity of this poisonous weed, but because this poisonous weed needs to come into contact with another poison to be fatal, and few people know about it." It wasn't until he saw this paperweight that he knew that the cause of death in the old courtyard was determined. ”

"You mean, my father died when he came into contact with someone who carried the second poisonous weed?" Imperial Physician Zhang immediately realized, "So it's still Rong Su, he deliberately brought a second poisonous weed to kill my father!" ”

"Then this paperweight was also given to the old courtyard by Rong Siye?" Mr. Yucheng asked rhetorically.

Imperial Doctor Zhang was stunned, Qin Shao had already brought someone over: "Let your lady tell you where the paperweight came from." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was pressed to her knees by the guards, and she trembled when she saw the paperweight in Mr. Yucheng's hand: "I don't know, I don't know, this paperweight is ...... It was my father-in-law who pointed out what I wanted! ”

Someone dug out the accounts in the house, and it was clearly written that this paperweight was purchased three years ago, but it was only delivered to the main study of the old courtyard a few days ago.

"It is precisely because the courtyard needs to read a lot of ancient books these days, and you need to move the paperweight to check the materials, and you only need to send the second poisonous weed to the front of the old courtyard." Qin Shao speculated that his gaze fell on Old Madam Zhang.

She was squatting on the beam as Tingyun at that time, and clearly saw that the old lady was the last person to contact Zhang Yuanzheng.

After that, she left to report the news for only a moment, and there was definitely no one who could poison the old courtyard under Rong Su's nose, so the real situation could only be that the old courtyard was returning to the room by himself and suddenly died of poison, and Rong Su could only come down to save him.

The old courtyard thought that it was King Yu who killed people and killed his mouth, so he would leave such a last word.

And Rong Su was caught by the people of the Zhang family.

"So now you tell me that the old lady came back to find Zhang Yuanzheng, but she?" Qin Shao asked, and the second daughter-in-law was the first to nod: "It's the sister-in-law, it's the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law also gave her mother a new sachet!" ”

Mr. Yucheng immediately stepped forward to hear the news, Mrs. Zhang handed over the sachet, and several imperial doctors went to the side to inspect it.

"The news of Zhang Yuanzheng's death spread so quickly that he surrounded Rong Su in time, who reported the news?" Qin Shao continued to ask.

"It's the maid next to my sister-in-law!" The second daughter-in-law was really dissatisfied with this sister-in-law, and betrayed her many times, causing the eldest daughter-in-law to collapse to the ground like ashes.

"This is the grass!" Mr. Yucheng used small silver tweezers to hold the hay balls in the sachet, but the very inconspicuous grass balls exuded a faint smell of herbs.

If one or two speculations are not a cause for concern, there is reasonable suspicion when the physical evidence is complete.

What's more, the psychological quality of the eldest daughter-in-law is not up to par at all, and it is clear that there is a ghost on her face, and before Qin Shao orders the maid to be arrested, Mrs. Zhang herself will first arrest people with a black face and interrogate them.

Things are progressing very quickly, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is not the daughter of a powerful person, so she can't bear the pressure and quickly entertains everything.

"You're taking advantage of me? You're unexpected! Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that it was the sachet she was carrying that became the last straw that killed Zhang Yuanzheng, and now she suddenly fainted when she heard the news.

The truth was revealed, and under Qin Shao's resolute actions, Rong Su quickly cleared his grievances.

But the case has already alarmed the emperor.

When the relics of the first prince were found in the main mansion of Zhang Yuan, this matter could not be hidden for long, not to mention that Qin Shao found so much evidence in the main study of the courtyard.

She asked Chu Ying to submit it to His Majesty's Divine Judgment last night.

Despite His Majesty's thunderous wrath, Qin Shao was also fearless.

She believed in her father's innocence.

But His Majesty is suspicious, will he believe it? Will he wronged his own brother?

In the afternoon, Qin Shao had been sitting in the main hall waiting for the will.

But until the sun set, the emperor did not summon her, only Lao Qian hurriedly sent a letter.

Fang Zhaoran wrote a secret letter, and the content was two things, one was to complain about Qin Shao's rash behavior. Knowing that His Majesty would suspect King Yu because of Prince Zhaoxu's poisoning death or the strange poison of Nanyue, he didn't wait for the matter to be clarified before reporting it.

The other thing is that he was not ordered to investigate the case, and His Majesty sent another group of forbidden troops to take away the evidence.

After reading the letter, Qin Shao sat on the stool with empty eyes.

His Majesty's distrust of Fang is obvious.

To be precise, His Majesty suspected that Fang Zhaoran had already joined the henchmen of the East Palace, so another newcomer was sent to thoroughly investigate the poisoning case of Prince Zhaoxu, obviously to avoid her......

His Majesty was suspicious of her.

Qin Shao lost the bet.

His Majesty not only suspected her but also suspected King Yu, and what was even more terrifying was that the forbidden army sent by His Majesty quickly summoned King Rong after taking away the evidence.

His Majesty chose to lean on King Rong in his doubts!

Qin Shao couldn't help but press her eyebrows, she still underestimated King Rong's status in His Majesty's heart.

"Your Highness, please also go and ask to see Your Majesty!" Chen didn't understand the situation very well, but she knew that King Yu must have been wronged!

Qin Shao stood up and walked to the door of the main hall.

The main hall of the East Palace is very high, standing on a three-story white jade platform, so she can look beyond the golden glazed tiles at the door and see the magnificent sunset. Layers of impregnated fire clouds, half-obscuring the sunset on the mountain.

"No," she refused softly, "Your Majesty did not believe it before, does not believe it now, and will not believe it in the future." ”

Chen was confused by her.

"You...... What do you mean? ”

"It's not interesting, I just think it's ......" Qin Shao's eyes lit a small flame, and he quickly hid his emotions, shook his arm and said, "This prince, it's not interesting to be ......"
