Chapter 54: Doubt Her
"How do I know?" Qiao Sheng was not afraid of Xiao Jincheng, so he answered a little casually.
She looked at Xiao Jincheng's suspicious eyes and opened her eyes wide in horror.
"You don't doubt me, do you?"
"Did I say I doubted you?" Xiao Jincheng asked her rhetorically.
Qiao Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Your eyes betrayed you." ”
"You really didn't kill them?" Xiao Jincheng approached and asked.
Qiao Sheng immediately pushed him away, then patted his chest and said: "I vouch with my head, I definitely didn't kill them, if you don't believe it, you can investigate, I haven't been to Qiaojia Village since I returned to Yangjia Village that day, and the people in the village can testify." ”
"She really hasn't been to Qiaojia Village, and she definitely didn't kill this person." It was Qiao Erzhu's mother who spoke.
Since she and Po Yang came to deliver her daughter-in-law that day, Qiao Erzhu's mother has changed her opinion of her and thinks that she is still a very good girl.
Those present also thought it was unlikely, after all, no one had ever seen her come to the village.
"Maybe it will come in the middle of the night." Xiao Jincheng said.
"That's impossible, there are dogs in the village, and it is impossible for her to come at night without moving. Besides, Chen Liu's woman is very tough, plus a Qiao Xiong, how can Qiao Yatou be their opponent. Qiao Erzhu's mother said.
After Qiao Erzhuniang's analysis, everyone also felt that it was definitely not Qiao Sheng.
One of the people in the crowd suddenly remembered something, and he raised his hand and walked to the front.
"I know how they died."
Xiao Jincheng looked at the man in front of him and asked, "You know?" ”
"Yes, I know." The man nodded.
"Tell me about it." Xiao Jincheng wants to hear it,
"Three days ago, I passed by his house and saw Qiao Xiong killing chickens, and the chicken was a sick chicken, and I guessed that they must have eaten the sick chicken before they died."
"My lord, I checked it, and the husband and wife did eat a chicken and died, but the chicken was not a sick chicken, but a poisonous chicken. The time of death should have been three days before the night. "I checked it out and came out to report.
"Poisonous chickens?" Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, how can a good chicken be poisonous?
Everyone can't figure it out, and they can't figure out why chickens are poisonous.
Although Chen Liu's mouth is a little annoyed on weekdays, he has not offended people to the point of poisoning them.
Xiao Jincheng twisted his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Sheng with both eyes.
Qiao Sheng was a little uncomfortable by him, and said, "Don't look at me like this, although I am a little short-tempered and sometimes I will beat people, but I don't dare to kill." ”
Xiao Jincheng didn't say a word, turned around and ordered: "Bring the body back, and leave a few people to investigate who has contacted their husband and wife." ”
"Yes, sir." The leader immediately found four people to transport the body back.
The corpses were taken away, and the poisonous chickens were brought back to the yamen.
Xiao Jincheng also planned to go back, but just as he got on the horse, Qiao Erzhu Niang in the crowd suddenly remembered something.
"Po Yang seems to have been to Qiao Xiong's house that day."
Qiao Sheng frowned, and also remembered that Yang Po came to Qiaojia Village that day, but she didn't believe that Yang Po would kill people, so after Qiao Erzhu's mother finished speaking, she immediately disassociated Yang Po.
"Po Yang can't kill people, she has no enmity with Qiao Xiong and Chen Liu, so she can't poison them."
Xiao Jincheng turned over on the horse, looked at Qiao Sheng and said, "Anyone who is suspicious must be brought back for questioning." ”
"Yes." The official beside Xiao Jincheng answered, and then led people to prepare to go to Yangjia Village, he walked in front of Qiao Sheng, "Please also ask Miss Qiao to lead the way." ”
Qiao Sheng looked at Xiao Jincheng, didn't say anything, turned around and walked in front.
She thought as she walked, and her mind began to lose her mind.
After she told Yang Po about that incident that day, Yang Po hurried to Qiaojia Village, and when she came back, she was very strange.
In Yangjia Village, Yang Po saw the officers and soldiers behind Qiao Sheng, and probably knew it in her heart.
Xiao Jincheng didn't take his eyes off when he saw Yang Po, and kept looking at Yang Po, but he didn't see anything abnormal.
"Grandma." Qiao Sheng walked up to Yang Po and called.
Yang Po glanced at the officers and soldiers behind her and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"There was a homicide, and according to someone who provided it, you had contact with the deceased before his death, so I want to take you back for questioning." Xiao Jincheng spoke to Yang Po very respectfully, without the slightest arrogance of an official.
After hearing his words, Yang Po looked surprised.
"Who died?"
Xiao Jincheng wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Grandma, Qiao Xiong and Chen Liu are dead." Qiao Sheng told Yang Po.
After listening to her words, Yang Po was surprised again, looking completely unaware.
"Three days ago, I saw that they were in good spirits, how could they suddenly die?"
Xiao Jincheng saw the change in Yang Po's expression in his eyes, could it be that Qiao Xiong and Chen Liu's death had nothing to do with this old woman?
He thought for a moment and said, "Mother Yang, please come with us." ”
"Okay." Yang Po did not make any resistance, and followed them very calmly.
Yang Po passed by Qiao Sheng's side and smiled.
Qiao Sheng clenched his hands and watched Xiao Jincheng take Yang Po away.
Many people in the village came to see, and after Yang Po left, Yang Shengniang looked back at Qiao Sheng.
"Sure enough, it's a broom star, which hurt my Mei'er before, and now it's harming Yang Po."
Originally, the people in the village didn't believe it, but now that they saw Yang Po being taken away, they all believed that she was a broom star.
Qiao Sheng ignored them, turned a deaf ear, walked over and closed the door, leaning his back against the door.
Looking down at the note in his hand.
This is the note that Yang Po gave her just now, and from the note that Yang Po gave her, her heart was trembling.
Maybe Qiao Xiong and Chen Liu were really poisoned by Yang Po.
Open the note, on which is Yang Po writing a letter.
"Ah Sheng, there is a box at the bottom and back of the cabinet in my room, that is my life savings, it will be yours in the future, listen to grandma, don't track down your life experience, just live freely like this now."
Qiao Sheng clenched the note after reading it, his eyes gathered slightly, and his face sank.
It seems that Yang Po knows her life experience, but she doesn't understand why Yang Po didn't tell her.
After thinking for a long time, she turned around and opened the door, locked the door and went to chase Xiao Jincheng.
Xiao Jincheng and his party left Yangjia Village not far away, and Qiao Sheng trotted quickly to catch up.
Yang Po frowned when she saw her catching up.
Xiao Jincheng also frowned, raised his hand to stop walking, and when Qiao Sheng came over, he raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Are you going back to the yamen?"
Qiao Sheng didn't answer his question, but walked in front of Yang Po.
"Go back, I'll be back before dark."
Yang Po's kind smile made Qiao Sheng feel even more that Yang Po might not be able to come back.
"When I go back, the chickens at home still have to be fed, and they can still lay five or six eggs a day, so we can't neglect them." After Yang Po finished speaking, she left.
Xiao Jincheng looked at them, and always felt that something was boring, so he said, "Miss Qiao, let's go back to the yamen together!" Your grandmother is old, so it's good to have someone to greet you. ”
In this way, she was also taken back to the yamen.
On the way, Yang Po frowned, a little angry.
"Why did you come along?"
"Grandma, I'm not worried about you." Qiao Sheng said.
"What's wrong with this, my wife is in good health, and it's not a problem to go to the town." Originally, Yang Po planned to directly admit the crime of murder after returning to the yamen, and then directly solve herself with a pill.
In this way, no one knows Ah Sheng's background, and this matter will never be known.
However, Qiao Sheng seemed to be aware, so he followed.
"Grandma, I'm just worried about you." She said to Yang Po.
"Don't talk nonsense in the yamen."
Yang Po sighed, it was useless to say anything now, she could only tell her not to talk nonsense when she arrived at the yamen.
Qiao Sheng nodded, she can still guarantee this, after all, she is not stupid.
Xiao Jincheng looked back at them, and then deliberately slowed down the horse's walking speed, parallel to them.
Seeing him like this, Qiao Sheng frowned and said, "My lord, you are young and riding a horse, and let an old man in his seventies and eighties walk, do you think it is embarrassing?" ”
Yang Po tugged at Qiao Sheng's sleeve and motioned her not to say much.
"I've been weak and sick since I was a child, so I didn't feel embarrassed."
, she really thinks that this Xiao Jincheng's face is not ordinarily thick, it is estimated that he doesn't feel it when boiling water, and she has never seen such a shameless man.
No, he's not a man at all, and he's pretty much the same.
Xiao Jincheng knew that she was scolding herself in her heart when he saw her appearance, so he turned over and dismounted directly and walked with her.
"What do you do?" Qiao Sheng stayed away from him, with a wolf-proof face.
Xiao Jincheng twisted his eyebrows and said, "Is this official so scary?" ”
"You don't ride a good horse, what are you going to do when you come down?" She felt that Xiao Jincheng either had other purposes or had something wrong with his brain.
"This official is sharing weal and woe with the people."
"......," Qiao Sheng gave him a blank look, "I think you're sick." ”
"Bold, you dare to scold my young master." The little sparrow has been enduring it for a long time, and when he heard Qiao Sheng's words, he directly shouted and scolded him, and also glared at Qiao Sheng.
Not to be outdone, Qiao Sheng glared back and said, "Your master didn't say anything, you got angry, you don't know like this, you still think that your master is a dog and a powerful man." ”
"You ......" The little sparrow's face darkened, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Xiao Jincheng's mouth twitched twice, he felt that if it was someone else at this time, she should not know how many times she had died.
Yang Po didn't say anything, and when she saw Lord Xiao's cold face, she was worried that Lord Xiao would punish Qiao Sheng, so she pulled Qiao Sheng's sleeve.
Qiao Sheng knew that Yang Po was worried that she would be punished, so she smiled at Yang Po.
"Lord Xiao has a lot of them, so he won't care about a little woman like me." After saying this, she turned her head to look at Xiao Jincheng and asked him, "Lord Xiao, is it?" ”
"Yes, this official has always been magnanimous and will not bother with you, but it is better not to say such things in the future."
Qiao Sheng smiled and nodded, then looked at his horse with both eyes, and said, "Lord Xiao, if you don't ride this horse, why don't you give it to my grandmother to ride, how about it?" Xiao Jincheng twisted his eyebrows, feeling that she was a little too much, but he didn't refuse, and nodded slightly.
