Chapter 343
Although those ossified corpses were old, if they were poisoned, in addition to the blackening of the bones, the poisonous putrefactive liquid of her internal organs would seep into the dirt or things on her side. This is especially true if it is a poison such as gold and stone medicine, which is difficult to digest and difficult to decompose. Therefore, it is easy to detect it when it is mixed with soil.
As for maggots, they live in the flesh of the dead and feed on corpses. If the carrion corpses were indeed poisoned to death, then they must also contain toxins in their bodies, which is common knowledge in forensic entomology.
Therefore, Xu Chu felt that this science was very mysterious.
After Aunt Chu took her things and went to find a guest room to live in, Xiao Qinglang sat for a long time under the pretext of discussing the case. It wasn't until the moonlight fell that he got up indifferently and said goodbye.
The lights are staggered, and the faint warm light is slanted out, coupled with the moonlight as bright as the moonlight, pulling the shadow behind Xiao Qinglang more and more slender and slender.
Xu Chu didn't send him out of the door, but just watched him go farther and farther away in the leaky moonlight, and finally disappeared into the front yard.
On the other side, Ning Subai was calling friends to Chunhualou to have a drink, and at this time, the girls who had no guests in the entire Hualou rushed to his box. It's not because he is handsome and handsome, but because Ning Subai treats them kindly, and is always called sisters and sisters, and has never humiliated them.
Therefore, every time they heard that Ning Shizi had arrived, they were willing to have no oil for a day, and they also had to talk and laugh with them.
Compared with Sikong Han, who came to ask questions with an official tone, Ning Subai's clichΓ©s were more straightforward and effective. In just half an hour, he heard some things about Dong Ruiyang from a few friends who were a little drunk.
I heard that Dong Ruiyang is inhumane at all, he does have concubines, but two of them are perfect. And Feng Niang, who was redeemed by him, is now also tossed unclear, one is that he doesn't have that majestic style, and he often uses Feng Niang to vent. The second is that Feng Niang has lost her freedom, and after tasting the taste of love, she has lost the nourishment of a man.
As he spoke, the group of drunken sons began to say nothing, or teasing the girl next to him, or telling some meat jokes, and even daring to pinch others to climb the wall of the Feng Niang.
And Ning Subai also drank a little too much, a small jar of plum blossom wine, and he drank it clean as water. Even the bustard was worried and blamed the waiting girl, and told the men to hurry up and prepare the decanting soup.
Decanting soup is something that is impossible for ordinary Hualou to prepare. Originally, which of the men who went to Hualou to eat and drink was virtuous? Either they tease the girls with wine, or they roll straight to the bed.
partially, the rules of Chunhualou made an exception for Ning Subai.
A girl with a raw face on the side wanted to take Ning Subai, and said to the old bustard coquettishly: "Mom, you are too careful, how many children of dignitaries and nobles come and go to our flower building, and they are not all comfortably served by our sisters?" I look at this son's handsome face, why don't you let me serve now? β
When the old bustard saw that she was about to stretch out his hand at Ning Subai, he couldn't help but slap her and said, "Save your worries, you can fight for others as much as you want, but this son can't do it." If you're idle, go to the kitchen and urge the decanting soup. β
The girl was beaten in the hand, and she couldn't help but snort, and finally reluctantly left.
However, the old bustard looked at Ning Subai, who was unconscious, and sighed and said, "Little ancestor, my mother really owes you a debt in my last life!" If your mother hadn't helped me in the first place, I wouldn't have bothered to protect you! β
Speaking of hitting here, she couldn't help but think of what happened back then. Back then, she was just a bullied girl, struggling to survive in the dusty land, and offended a merchant because she was ignorant. In order to take revenge on her, the merchant bought her back to torture, and when she escaped, he happened to meet Ning Subai's mother.
At that time, she thought she was finished, and as soon as she escaped from the wolf's den, she ran into a noble woman dressed in gorgeous clothes. Unexpectedly, Ning Subai's mother did not dislike her for being dirty, but covered her up when the vendor brought people to chase her.
After that, she learned that the woman married into the capital, so she went all the way to the capital. At the beginning, she thought very well, probably to sell herself to repay the favor. It's a pity that she has no identity document, no way to lead, and she is still a broken flower and a willow, how can the Hou Mansion recruit her?
In desperation, she could only do her original business again......
She especially remembered that when she heard about the death of the Lady of the Protector's Mansion, she was full of regret and haste, but in the end, she could only quietly kowtow in the direction of her burial after her funeral.
She is an old bustard covered in filth, and if it is known that she respects Mrs. Protector Marquis in her heart, she is afraid that she will attract criticism to Mrs.
Later, she inadvertently found Ning Subai, who was drunk in Hualou, and also saw that he did not mean to linger in Gentle Township, so every time he was hungover, he would be taken care of.
It's been a few years now.
In the second half of the night, Ning Subai's wine woke up a little. He asked the little girl, and knew that all the boys and buddies he brought with him had found a girl to sleep, and he didn't say hello at the moment, so he stumbled towards the Hou Mansion.
On the way, he met a soldier who was patrolling the night, and after checking his waist card, he saluted him and let him leave.
Just when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he found that the courtyard was still brightly lit. He subconsciously covered his eyes, and it was only then that he saw clearly that the person sitting outside the main hall was his father, and next to him was a woman dressed in pink.
Under the steps in front of him, his personal chief Sui Ningtong was still tied to the ground by five flowers. It seems that he has been beaten, and there are still some blood stains drawn from the leather whip on his body.
Just one glance made his drinking strength completely sober up. He hurriedly stepped forward, but because he had eaten and drunk, his legs and feet were a little inflexible, so that he stumbled slightly.
Although it was just such a stumble, it also made the Protector Marquis frown.
He casually picked up the ring ruler from the table, knocked it hard, and scolded: "Rebel, don't kneel down for me yet!" Say, where are you going to mess around tonight? β
Ning Su helped Ning Tong into his arms with both hands and feet, trying to untie the rope that bound him, but he didn't untie it for a long time. When he looked up and heard his father's scolding, he immediately craned his neck and said, "I'm not messing around!" I'm on my way to business! β
Seeing that he was still obsessed, the Marquis of the Protector gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, good, good to do the right thing." Then tell me, which serious thing can be done in the flower building? β
"How did your mother teach you, how did she teach you such a shameless thing? If you don't learn well at a young age, it's just that you can't achieve anything, and you can just linger in Hualou all day long with nothing to do, and now you can learn to talk nonsense with your eyes open. When you are a person in the capital, your eyes are blind! β
The more the Hou Guohou spoke, the more angry he became, and the ring ruler in his hand almost smashed the table beside him.
At first, Ning Subai wanted to explain, but as soon as he heard the Marquis of the Protector mention his mother, he was immediately poked in the lungs and exploded.
He yelled angrily: "Don't mention my mother, don't mention my mother!" No matter what, my mother is better than you, a hypocrite who abandons his wife and children! β
The Protector Marquis was already on the verge of rage, how could he still restrain his anger when he was so accused at this time?
He got up suddenly, walked to Ning Subai's side, and directly raised the ring ruler in his hand and hit it.
"It's really against you, I thought you begged the emperor to allow you to enter the Three Law Division, because you had the intention to learn well, but I didn't expect you to be a thing that can't be supported by mud. If I don't discipline you today, maybe tomorrow you will make some embarrassing trouble! β
As he spoke, the ring ruler in his hand fell with a snap, with fierceness and anger, as if he wanted to beat people to death.
Originally, he thought that his son was cowardly and immature, but at this time, his bones seemed to suddenly harden, and he was holding his neck and staring at him with red eyes. Don't say that you dodged, but you didn't even cry.
A family law in the Protector's Mansion made Ning Subai, who was happy in his heart because of Xiao Qinglang's appreciation, completely cold his heart.
Until he passed out, he didn't understand why his own father didn't believe him so much. Even King Jing'an believed that he could succeed, and was even willing to carry him, but his father, whose blood was thicker than water, always stepped him into the quagmire.
He was groggy and suddenly felt like his life was like a joke, and then he felt lifeless. It's better to leave it like this, so as to save the eyes of his protector after waking up.
In fact, he also wants to be like Mingzhu or Hua Wuxi, with the love of his father and mother. He also wants to get ahead and make his father and mother happy. Therefore, he tried to learn from King Jing'an, trying to transform himself.
Unexpectedly, his efforts became a shame in the eyes of the protector.
I don't know how long it took, he suddenly remembered something, and the ups and downs of his heart gradually settled down.
No, he can't die, he hasn't made that old thing regret it yet. She hasn't made the woman who coveted her mother's place regret it......
At this time, Ning Subai no longer wanted to call the Marquis of the Protector a father. It's like, if he has no choice, he can't wait to return his flesh and blood to the protector, and then he will not be implicated again.
With this obsession, he suddenly felt the pain in his body and the dry pain in his throat. And also..... Moistness on the lips.
He subconsciously pursed his lips and slowly came to his senses.
Faintly, he seemed to hear many people talking in his ears.
Xiao Qinglang looked at Ning Subai, who was unconscious on the bed, worriedly, and said with a cold face to the remorseful Protector beside him: "It is the king's intention for him to go to Chunhualou, Protector, you beat people so seriously indiscriminately, but you are really willing to do it." β
There was sarcasm in his words, and every word pierced the heart of the protector.
