Coming out of prison, Mao Leyan remembered Cao's reaction when she heard that she was Liu Hong's friend, although she tried her best to deny that it had anything to do with her, but her eyes flickered, her expression was uneasy, which was very different from the previous righteous shouting of injustice, it seems that Liu Fang's death really has some inside information. But it is certain that she has nothing to do with Liu Hong's death.

Mao Leyan returned to the lobby and pulled King Jing away, King Jing shook off her hand and asked, "What are you dragging?" ”

"Come with me, let's go to the scene of the crime." Mao Leyan said, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he just pulled and left.

King Jing was a little depressed, "You see you are pulling and pulling, you are not reserved at all, your current identity, but the aunt and grandmother of King Qing's Mansion, let people see it, what kind of system has it become?" ”

"I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of?" Mao Leyan didn't talk nonsense with him, and said the case directly, "I suspect that Liu Fang's original wife Liu Hong's death was poisoned. I'm afraid that Liu Fang bought off the people under the yamen and covered up the matter. ”

"You mean that Liu Fang teamed up with Cao Wanzhen to kill his original wife? Why did he do that? King Jing asked suspiciously.

"We're going to investigate." Mao Leyan stepped into the carriage and turned around.

King Jing got into the carriage, covered his head and said bitterly: "This king is wrong, he shouldn't be this Shuntian Mansion Yin, this king thought it was fun to investigate the case, but he didn't expect it to be so painstaking, this king has this idle time, it is better to think about how to raise the koi in the pond." ”

Mao Leyan looked at him quietly, and suddenly asked, "You are the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, do you want to reassure the queen?" ”

As soon as the curtain covered and hidden, a cold wind poured in, raising a strand of hair on his sideburns, his face was cloudy, his eyes were dim like distant stars in the sky, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Mao Leyan also knew that things would not be so simple, maybe something happened that she didn't expect without her knowing. Now he is using the position of Shuntianfu Yin to trap himself, presumably to convince the queen that he has really given up competing for the throne.

Mao Leyan asked softly, "What happened?" ”

King Jing glanced at her and said, "It's nothing, this king said, this king wants to be a prince." ”

"Your temperament is not suitable for this job." Mao Leyan hit the nail on the head.

King Jing sneered, "What is not suitable, everyone has the first time, no one is suitable to be a Fu Yin when he comes out in his life, this king is confident that he will get better slowly." ”

Mao Leyan heard him say this, and even more determined that there was a hidden secret, but he didn't want to say it, so it was inconvenient for her to ask, being a friend is a matter of knowing her heart, she only needs to support him, "No matter what you decide, in short, it's not for the sake of disaster, I will definitely support you." ”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of King Jing's mouth, "How do you know that I'm not for the common people?" Perhaps what this king is doing now is to plan for the great things in this king's heart. ”

"I can trust you, friends, there are some things that don't have to be said." Mao Leyan said with a smile.

King Jing was silent, but his eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, his world has been barren for a long time, don't talk about friends, there is not even a person who can say a few words, although he can't get what he wants in his heart, just having a good friend and confidant by his side, it's better than nothing.

When she went to Liu's house, Mao Leyan went to the kitchen to investigate, she climbed over the wall, behind the kitchen was a desolate meadow, she asked, "What is the place behind?" Why is it so desolate? ”

Jing Wangfei glanced at the wall and said, "It's probably someone's house, and it hasn't been built yet, so it's deserted." The grass is covered with long grass, and there may be snakes. ”

Mao Leyan nodded, "Well, there should be a snake hibernation here, but it was warmly awakened when the kitchen was on fire, snakes are animals that are afraid of cold, and it is also possible to break into people's houses for a while." Have you verified that it is indeed a grass flower snake? ”

"Confirmed yes, non-toxic." King Jing sat on the wall and looked around at everything.

Mao Leyan was silent, she jumped off the grass, and her feet were suddenly messy, she was startled, and hurriedly removed her feet, but saw a toad jumping over her feet, she covered her chest and said in fright: "I'm most afraid of these ugly things." ”

"It's a toad." King Jing's eyes were sharp, and he saw it at a glance.

Mao Leyan hurriedly jumped on the wall and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if you don't build a house, you can't abandon this place, snakes, insects, rats and ants crawl around, and it is easy to breed epidemics." ”

"Well, toads are poisonous." King Jing said lightly.

Mao Leyan was stunned for a moment, his mind suddenly brightened, he looked up at King Jing, King Jing was also stunned for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the two said in unison: "Could it be that the snake ate the toad, and there is residual toxicity left in the body?" ”

"Go back and dissect the snake." Mao Leyan immediately jumped down and walked out quickly. King Jing hurriedly caught up, and the two got into the carriage and galloped towards the yamen.

Sure enough, he found something similar to a frog in the snake's belly, and King Jing looked at the sticky thing with his body, and asked suspiciously, "This is not a toad, what is it?" It's like a frog, but the frog doesn't have such a beautiful color. ”

Mao Leyan picked up the frog with pliers and soaked it in a basin of water, washed off the viscous liquid on its body, and said in shock: "This is indeed not a toad, it is a poisonous dart frog, the most poisonous frog in the world."

"Poison Dart Frog? This king has never heard of it. King Jing looked at the frog, "Its color is very beautiful, is it really poisonous?" ”

"In this world, things that are too beautiful are always poisonous, don't underestimate this poison dart frog, the poison on its body is enough to kill ten big men." Mao Leyan said suspiciously: "It's just that this kind of poison dart frog has always only grown in the tropics, how can it be in a bitter cold place like Beijing?" ”

King Jing was shocked, "This poison is so powerful? Look at its small body, how can it contain so much venom? ”

"The poison is very strong, just like the poison of the oin, it only takes a little bit to kill people, and this poisonous dart frog has almost no natural enemies, this snake probably has never seen this creature, and thought it was an ordinary frog, but this poisonous dart frog is generally seen in blood and sealed its throat, probably when the snake swallowed it, it did not stab the body, and the venom did not emit for a while, and the Indians generally smeared the venom on the mouth of the arrow to kill the enemy, and some people specially raised it." Mao Leyan explained.

"Breeding?"

"That's right, refining venom, this poison is more powerful than the poison of the donkey. If it is used to smear it on an arrow or sword, it only needs to cut the flesh slightly, and it can kill a person. ”

King Jing pondered for a moment, "Could it be that there are people in the capital to raise it?" You said that this poisonous dart frog did not grow in this place, it must have been brought here by people, where is it suitable to grow this poison in my country? ”

Mao Leyan shook his head, "I'm not very familiar with the terrain of Liu Guo, it's just that this poison generally grows in the tropics, where is the tropics of Liu Guo?" ”

King Jing raised his head abruptly and blurted out, "Southwest!" ”

Mao Leyan was silent, stared down at the poison dart frog in the water dish, and said for a long time: "Ordered people to be cremated." ”

King Jing was shocked in his heart, compared to King Jing's viciousness, he was really inferior. It seems that behind this murder, there may be a bunch of messy things involved.

The case finally saw a glimmer of light, King Jing listened to Mao Leyan's words, and ordered someone to open the coffin to examine Liu Hong's body, although the body had been decomposed, but from the blackened bones, it could be seen that she did die of poisoning.

It didn't take much effort, Cao Wanzhen confessed that she and Liu Fang poisoned Liu Hong, although she didn't kill Liu Fang, but she still had to pay for her life, Liu Guo's law, the murderer paid for his life, and King Jing sentenced Cao Wanzhen to be executed after the autumn.

Because of the involvement of poisonous frogs, King Jing and Mao Leyan were a little worried, if there were really people in the capital who raised poisonous frogs, and they were the first to suspect King Jing's Mansion, then his intentions were already obvious. She didn't know how to detoxify, and once this poison invaded her body, it could quickly take her life, and she didn't have time to detoxify.

Mao Leyan arranged for Liu Hong to meet with Liu Fang, Liu Hong was originally a crying person, but when he saw Liu Fang, he was very calm, when he heard Liu Fang admit that he had poisoned himself, Liu Hong's heart also died, she cut off her robe, and said resolutely: "The kindness of husband and wife will be broken from now on." "She kept her promise all her life, and now that everyone is dead, it is time for her to let herself die.

Such an ending also made Mao Leyan feel at ease, and after placing Liu Hong, she was going to start worrying about the things in front of her again.

Liu Zezhong still kept coming to her, and he had been investigating her openly and secretly, and his speech was not as tactful as before, and he mentioned the matter of explosives several times, but he was fooled by Mao Leyan, but she knew that Liu Zezhong was not a patient person, and he would still be difficult after all. Because of the poisonous frog matter, Mao Leyan didn't dare to offend him, this poison has a wide range of applications, once he uses it to deal with Qingwangfu, I'm afraid it will be very tricky.

There are many events outside, and there is no peace in King Qing's mansion. Xue Yan was angry with Mao Leyan because of King Qing's constant neglect, and she didn't know when she colluded with Concubine Ning and had a close relationship.

King Qing has recently come to Mao Leyan's Lingxiang Garden, and Xiaolan, the wedding girl of the snow goose, is still serving in Lingxiangyuan, because Xiaolan has been begging Mao Leyan to let her stay in Lingxiangyuan, Mao Leyan thought that Xiaochun's matter probably scared her enough, so he left her behind.

Mao Leyan rode Zhao Zhenyu's well-modified bicycle over and wandered in the courtyard of the house, the wheels did not go smoothly on the cobblestone path, and he couldn't grasp the direction crookedly, and almost dropped Mao Leyan several times. It's just that after coming to ancient times, although she has been very busy, she has not exercised much, life lies in sports, so even if it is not easy to ride, she still forcibly rode for a time with a stick of incense.

The cool breeze is light, and the weather in February is still cold, but it is a little warmer than when the ice was frozen a year ago, and it will probably be colder for a while when the snow melts later.

Mao Leyan sat in the pavilion, the cold wind blew a little pain on her face, yesterday Mao Xiaofang sent a medicine box, looking at those familiar drugs and instruments, she was sad and happy in her heart, full of emotion. With these things, she finally found her direction, and no matter what the world is like in the future, she will always have something to rely on.

After sitting for a while, she felt a little cold, she got up and picked up the bicycle and wanted to go back, but saw Xue Yan and Concubine Ning coming together, the two were extremely beautiful women, under the slow reflection of the sun, their faces were shining, their eyes were flowing, and their every move was full of charm.
