Chapter 146 Strange Case (Medium)

"What is Princess Wei's opinion?"

Yi Yu was named by Fang Qiao, everyone shifted their eyes to her, she turned her head to look at Li Tai, and stood up when she saw him nodding, and swept the field, Fang Qiao's ears were listening, Gao Zhixian's face was still angry, Li Yuanchang and Li Yuanjia looked lively, Li Ke's face was unknown, and so on, taking in everyone's demeanor, thinking about who came to see the jokes of his husband and wife, and who was waiting to fall into the well, before he said slowly:

"On the third night of the first month of April, the twenty-eight scribes in the Great Book Building did not die suddenly, but by poisoning."

"Ha," as soon as her voice fell, the people whispered together, and they heard a sneer, but it was Gao Zijian, who is now working in the Criminal Department, said, "There are no traces of poison left in the big library, and the Criminal Department has conducted three autopsies, but no abnormalities have been found. ”

There are a few noble people in this time, where is the turn to get Gao Zijian to speak, but listening to him speak, few people show impatience, obviously happy to have this gun in front of him, Li Tai glanced at the strong Gao family, and then lowered his eyelids and blew the tea in the cup, Gao Zijian didn't know that his "arrogant" attitude had made Li Tai "heart", but Yu Yu wished that someone would sing against her at this time, so he replied:

"This poison makes it tricky, it is a powerful road on the rivers and lakes, it is not possible to judge whether it is poisonous from the surface of the corpse alone, it is a kind of foreign poison that makes people appear to die suddenly after death, I examined the autopsy twice, if it is not during the parade, I may not be able to see what they are poisoned and died, that is, take a step back and say, think about it, there were twenty-eight people who died suddenly overnight, is this a reasonable thing?"

She wore a moon shirt today, wore a skirt, plain and ranran, it was for the soul of this big study building to go to the wedding joy, the clothes and hair accessories are expensive but not complicated, the white jade mutton fat is worn, faintly with the intellectuality of the woman in the early years of this flower, eye-catching, compared to Gao Zhixian's provocation, she speaks in an orderly manner, not irritable or irritable, just by her temperament, people can't help but want to believe her three points.

Here, when Li Tai heard her autopsy, he already raised his eyebrows, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he heard Gao Zijian, who had taken the medicine, sneered again:

"Empty words, what you say is what you are, then what is the verdict of this case, will you convict him later on the basis of you blindly identifying a murderer?"

"Gao Gongzi is reasonable," Yi Yu turned his head to Fang Qiaoyi and raised his hand, "Can I show you the poison in the deceased?" ”

On the opposite side, Li Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shot at the left jade, and was blocked back by Li Tai's cold eyes beside her, and the eyes that were especially green at dusk seemed to be able to see through everything, so that his heart was cold, and the little murderous aura that had just emerged disappeared, only he seemed to inadvertently change to a smile and nodded with the man, and secretly said in his heart: It's okay, with the mysterious way of the masked woman, the poison is superb, and the things are arranged seamlessly, this princess of Wei, who is not deeply involved in the world, can see through and bluff.

"Oh?" Fang Qiao's face was surprised, "Has the princess found out this poison?" ”

"Exactly." Yi Yu's affirmative answer made everyone's eyes change again, Fang Qiao waved his hand and said, "Then there will be work." ”

Now sitting at just the right angle, Yi Yu didn't let Fang Qiao arrange the table on the field, Ping Tong and Pinghui, who were following her, put the waist medicine box and bird cage on the side and waited for the order, Yi Yu put on a snakeskin hand, while carefully taking things from the medicine box, while explaining to everyone:

"There is a flower and grass called rice sac flower, also known as poppy beauty, its husk can be sucked through the heart, has the effect of curing colic, and can cause people to be excited," she held out a half-dried orange flower in one hand, which was picked from the corner of the medicine garden of the Jade Courtyard in the morning, "Pinghui, show it to a few adults." ”

Hui put a handkerchief on her hand, and carried the bewitching flower branch to Fang Qiao, Gao Zhixian and others, accompanied by the old senior imperial doctor in the palace, who also stepped forward to identify it, and nodded again and again:

"It's a different kind of poppy, and what the princess said is true."

Fang Qiao was puzzled: "According to what you said, this poppy beauty is a healing herb, what does it have to do with this case." ”

"Adults don't know," Yi Yu picked up a small bottle of specially treated shell powder, "This rice sac flower is used in excess, it will cause people to suffer from headaches and drowsiness and other adverse diseases, it is a medicinal herb and it is really a powerful poisonous weed." ”

After that, he lifted the cloth cover of a birdcage, revealing a finch combing in the cage, poured the medicinal powder into a piece of straw paper and rolled it up, burned it with a fire fold, and leaned into the cage to smoke it in front of the finch.

"Look, everybody."

Everyone looked at the bird curiously, and it didn't take long to see it start to churn happily in the cage, so that the jade burned another roll, and it chirped wildly, and kept hitting the bird cage with its body, regardless of life or death, and looked crazy.

The faces of everyone were different, and the remnants were about to be solved again, when they heard a coquettish voice from the other side, "Good, so cruel"

Changsun Xi covered his mouth and pleaded his head, with a frightened look that I saw pitiful, almost all of the men on the field, I didn't think that Yi Yu did anything different to a bird, but when he saw Chang Sun Xi's demeanor, he couldn't help but show three points of disapproval to Yu Yu.

"Xi'er, don't be afraid," Li Yuanchang gently patted Changsun Xi's shoulder, turned his head and frowned at Yi Yu, "This kind of harm, you should hurry." ”

Yi Yu didn't make a sound, and took out another bottle of medicinal powder to roll the paper, and heard the tone that was not salty or light sounded beside him: "Women's benevolence, when I was in Shunzhou, Uncle Seven didn't have this weirdness." ”

Li Yuanchang's face changed slightly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, "The fourth child is still deaf and clear-sighted." ”

The two played dumb riddles, and others didn't understand it, but Yi Yu secretly bent the corners of her mouth for Li Tai, who didn't allow others to say that she was protecting her short-sightedness, lit the rolled paper cigarette in her hand and threw it into the cage to cover it with a cloth cover, and then opened it after a while, and everyone saw that the finch was obviously much calmer, and after a while, they quieted down and lazily grabbed their feet.

She showed these two hands to make people feel contempt, of course, there are also many hearts and eyes to secretly hit the idea of this rice bag flower, this is a later story, I will not mention it here.

"In the opinion of the princess, did the people in the big book building die of poison in this rice sac?" Fang Qiao patted the desk and analyzed, "This is not right, I see that you have just used the dosage of the medicine, and a bird is still like this, how much dose does that person need to take this poison?" If it was really poisoned, it was mostly burned through the incense burner, but this official saw that the criminal department recorded that the burning in the big library that night was just an ordinary mosquito coil, if it was brought into the building by someone to release poison and kill 28 people, how many bottles of poison should be brought, and how did the murderer let the deceased be forced to smoke, hiss, it doesn't work, it doesn't work. ”

Li Ke picked up the cup and drank tea to hide his smile, Gao Zhixian asked Yu Yu with a straight face: "Lord Fang's words, can you hear them?" Saying that the deceased was poisoned by this rice sac will not work at all. ”

"When did I say they died from this poison?" Yi Yu prepared the medicine bowl without raising his head.

Gao Zhixian blew his beard and said, "Since they are not poisoned by this, then what are you doing for a long time." ”

"When did I say they didn't die from this poison?" took out the bamboo tube and added the medicinal powder, shook it in his hand, and Yu Yu looked up and said.

Hearing this, Gao Zhixian's face darkened, "Are you teasing me?" ”

Unclear of the intention of the jade, Fang Qiao also said loudly, "What does the princess mean by this?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient," Yi Yu soothed good-naturedly, and turned to ask the two accompanying imperial doctors, "Have you ever heard of a medicine called Su Jing Cao?" ”

The two pondered for a while and shook their heads, "I am lonely and unheard, and I also ask the princess for advice." ”

"This thing is a rare medicine, growing next to the snake nest on the high mountain, born alone, also known as the parting flower, green-petaled white stamen, only in the flowering period to pick a little pollen can be medicine," Yu shook the bamboo tube in his hand, "here is the pollen infusion of the parting flower, the flower itself is non-toxic, but has the purpose of synergizing, Zuomi sac peanut fragrance, inhalation of the mouth and nose can make the effect increase tenfold drama, just from the foot away from the mouth and nose to inhale a wisp, one breath will feel sleepy, two breaths will feel tired, three breaths will fall into a dream, into a dream will not wake up, eventually suffocate and die, no pain and no injury, If there is any disadvantage of this poison, it is that it promotes the medicinal properties, volatilizes too quickly, and cannot exist for a long time. ”

Her voice clearly came into the ears of everyone in front of the big library, and then looked at the bamboo tubes that could be seen everywhere in her hands, and the ground was a little terrifying, and everyone felt cold at the back of their necks, but the first to speak was Li Tai:

"Where does the poison come from?"

This is the point, Yi Yu turned his head to look at Li Tai, who was asking a question at the right time, and cleared his throat, "Lord Fang, can you send someone to get all the bamboo tubes used in the study building to hold water?" ”

Fang Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "So, what you have in your hand-"

"That's right, I got this bamboo tube from the big library, and it was probably used by one of the deceased that night," Yi Yu quietly glanced at Li Ke opposite, stood up and walked around the case, the corners of his mouth were cold, and he solved everyone's doubts:

"This murderer is thoughtful, the big book building every evening at dusk someone cleans the first to third floors, no scholars, no one dares to go up to the fourth floor to touch, he only needs to hide on the fourth floor in advance, wait for the people to clean up, take advantage of the gap before everyone returns on the night of duty, in the bamboo tube where the servants have changed the new water are sprinkled with pollen, no different from ordinary clear water. Then pretend to be the first to arrive, wait for people to come, at night will be with the rice sac flower wrapped in the epidermis of the ink block one person to send out a piece, he used this new ink to arouse people's curiosity, or said that this ink can not be stored at night, looking for some such reasons, that night everyone was divided into various floors to copy, will be used to separate the flower water dipped in new ink ink, raw ink incense, a smell will be poisoned, three breaths to death, do not struggle, a long sleep, until someone finds the body, the poisonous fragrance has dispersed early, only ink marks. ”

When her words fell, there was a gasping sound in the big library, Li Tai pinched the teacup and looked up at her back, Fang Qiao closed his eyes and pondered, Gao Zhixian also tightly furrowed his brows, she covered her gaze at Li Ke by pulling her hair, and saw that his expression was different, but she still put on a grieving appearance for the deceased, if it weren't for preventing the grass from startling the snake, she really wanted to pull his hypocritical face, and if she asked him, she wouldn't be afraid of those unjust souls seeking revenge, and he might sleep peacefully at night.

The official took out the dozens of bamboo tubes that held water in the big library and put them on a case, Fang Qiao took one in his hand, Gao Zhixian just watched and digested what she said, and after a while, he asked Yu Yudao:

"Although what the princess said is the truth, but listening to what you just said, the ink used by the deceased is only the skin of the deceased to burn poison, and the poisonous incense is scattered, isn't there no evidence of this? The official is confused, I don't know how you launched this ink has that rice sac flower poison, if there is no evidence, the official can't be convinced. ”

"I have my own answer," Yi Yu handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Ping Tong, "and asked Lord Fang to send someone to invite the twenty-eight corpses and allow me to identify the murderer." ”

Qi Zheng stood behind Li Tai, trembling when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to raise his head for fear of revealing his look, Fang Qiao cooperated very well and asked people to go to the pergola to carry the corpse over, and suddenly the stench was all over the sky, except for the family members who came to recognize the corpse crying and crying, the others mostly covered their mouths and noses, and their eyes showed disgust, and the only two women in the hall, one turned her head and retched disgustingly, and the other walked forward without changing her face.

Watching Yi Yu walk through the corpse and squatting and rummaging, Fang Qiao's eyes were complicated for a moment, in the face of such a child, he was not only pity, but also inevitably gave birth to a sense of pride in being a father, but when he thought of promising their brother and sister to return to the bridge and return to the road that night, his own flesh and blood could not recognize each other, his heart was sour and unbearable.

Li Tai saw that the corpse was examined, but he did not stop it, but just drank the tea one by one, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Yi Yu quickly found the corpse she was looking for, took an item from the corpse's clothes, and asked people to use a wooden tray to send it to Fang Qiao and Gao Zhixian.

"What is this?" Fang Qiao pointed to a flat ink bag on the plate, and understood in a blink of an eye, "This, what was originally contained here were those poisoned ink blocks, right?" It looks like an ordinary ink bag, how did the princess find out? ”

Gao Zhixian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then glared at Yi Yu in surprise and said, "So, the murderer has also been poisoned and died?" Before Yi Yu could speak, he angrily slapped the case, pointing to a corpse in front of him, "Go and see who it is"

"Lord Hui, it's Bachelor Hu of the Literature Museum."

"Damn," someone in Dongxi scolded in annoyance, and everyone looked for it, and saw Li Ke saying angrily: "This murderer is dead, can't you find out who instructed people to kill these literati?" ”

Li Tai's eyes flashed slightly, Qi Zheng's body shook slightly, his eyes were red but he still didn't dare to raise his head, just when he was heartbroken, he heard a faint female voice:

"No, the murderer is not him."

His heartache turned into consternation, and when he looked up at the field, he saw a figure standing among the rows of putrid corpses, and Gao Zhixian asked:

"What is the princess selling, there are people on duty every night before and after this big library, and the criminal department has already checked and has not seen any suspicious characters, if it is so poisonous as you said, isn't the murderer one of the deceased?"

The corpse at her feet reminded Yu of last night's dream, the hideous appearance of those dead souls made her hands and feet cold, she swept around again, and Li Tai's eyes touched and separated, absorbing some warmth, and said to Fang Gao and the others, saying:

"There were twenty-nine people present in the big library that night.
