Chapter 30: I Am the Murderer

As soon as Ji Xia got the acacia wine, he hurriedly found Jin Zesen.

"Brother Jin, you help me find four identical rooms in the suburbs, four male dogs and four female dogs, and put them in these four rooms......"

At this time, Jin Zesen and Gao Han were sitting in the courtyard chatting, and Ji Xia's words suddenly made them full of doubts, and they asked in unison, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"I'm going to do an experiment." She replied quickly, eager to test her suspicions as to whether acacia wine and aromatherapy had aphrodisiac properties. For the sake of rigor, a control group was also set up.

"Experiments?" This is a word that Kanazawa Sen and Gao Han have never heard of, let alone how to operate it.

"The first room, lit with joy and fragrance; in the second room, the male dog is fed acacia wine; In the third room, while lighting this Huanyi incense, find a way to let the male dog drink this wine again. ”

The corners of her mouth hooked up into an imperceptible smile, and she looked at the acacia wine bottle in her hand with interest, "I think that these three male dogs and three female dogs can reveal the truth about Master Guan's death for us." ”

"Don't you already have an answer to Master Guan's death?" Jin Zesen said in his heart, with the age of Master Guan, it seems that it is not surprising that he died of a stroke, so why bother so much.

"Because ......" Ji Xia glanced at Gao Han and stopped talking.

It was because of the incident and moment when she and Gao Han were in Master Guan's room; It's her unconsciously approaching, it's her wildly beating heart and her unstoppable breathing! At that moment, she felt like her whole body was on fire.

But how can she tell Kanazesen?

"Okay, I'll do it."

Jin Zesen saw that Ji Xia was stumbling and didn't understand what she was going to do, but he believed that Ji Xia must have a reason to do this, so he agreed on the spot.

After Kanazawa left, Gao Han tentatively spoke: "What happened last time......

Ji Xia waved his hand and hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother Gao doesn't have to take it to heart, I know that you are a human being." The two of us must have fallen for the fragrance! ”

Having said that, she didn't dare to look at him. Because she knew that at that moment, her deeply buried emotions and suppressed emotions completely escaped the control of reason and the constraints of etiquette, like a volcano that had been silent for a long time, and suddenly wanted to erupt a hot flame. Huan Yixiang is just a pretext, but also an introduction, an "introduction" that ignites her.

In an instant, Gao Han's heart had turned a thousand thoughts: when she said "we", could she also ...... However, she also said that it was influenced by aromatherapy. But I ...... to her.

His face was still unwavering, and he said, "That's good." He was just worried that she would break up with him because of it.

After chatting for a short time, Kanazawa brought back the results of the experiment.

"As I expected!" Ji Xia looked at the "experiment report" handed to her by Jin Zesen and said happily.

Gao Han took the piece of paper, and saw that the state of the dogs in several rooms was recorded on the paper: the dogs in the first and second rooms were exhausted; The male dog in the third room has died, and the cause of death is no different from that of Master Guan!

"Ji Xia, you are really a god! This is also a way for you to think of! After witnessing how the male dog in the third room was killed, even if he didn't understand "what an experiment was", he could still correspond the death of the male dog to the death of Master Guan.

"This means that 'acacia wine' with aromatherapy can make people overindulge in qi exhaustion and die!"

"It seems that there is something strange about Master Guan's death!" Gao Han nodded and said.

"This little concubine, I'm afraid there is a big problem."

"This ...... Wouldn't that be too arbitrary? Kim said. He thought of the innocent face of Old Man Guan's concubine, how could he not connect this innocent face like a little white flower with the murder of his husband.

Ji Xia told the two of them about the Xuanjing Dao Chief, and Jin Zesen and Gao Han were also convinced of Ji Xia's inference in their hearts.

"She can quibble for the pleasure of the boudoir!" Kanazem said with emotion.

The confession of the head of the Xuanjing Dao can only prove that the Hehuan wine was bought by Yang Liu, and there is no way to prove that the concubine is suspected of murder. What's more, the old husband and young wife want to have a bit of boudoir love and fun.

"Brother Jin, do you have a clue about the source of Huan Yixiang?" Ji Xia asked. Since Hehuan wine can't become a "real hammer", why not start with Huanyixiang?

"I asked all the spice sellers in the capital, but no one knew where this incense came from and what it did."

Just as the three of them were hanging their heads and at a loss, a catcher hurried in.

"Jin Zhutou, the concubine of Master Guan's family has come to surrender!"

Everyone's faces changed.

Although this experiment is enough to prove that there is something wrong with this little concubine, but if she bites herself without knowing it, the government is helpless, and she suddenly comes to surrender herself, I don't know which one she is singing?

Lord Jingzhao Yin Lin, who was trying the case, was sitting in the lobby at this time.

There was a woman kneeling in the hall, who was the concubine Yang of Master Guan a few days ago.

"Who is in the hall and what is the matter?"

With Lord Lin's shock, the case was tried.

"Lord Hui, the maid's name is Yang Liu, and she is the concubine of Master Guan's family. Master Guan was murdered by me. ”

Ji Xia saw that she was very different from the other day. I saw her wearing a plain floor-length dress, with a green silk waterfall floating down, and her clear eyes were as spiritual as the autumn water of Bitan. The skin is like coagulation, crystal clear, and can be broken by blowing. Despite having a plain face, it still looks like a clear water hibiscus.

is such a beautiful and lovely young girl, how can Ji Xia not be able to link her with the murderer.

"Huan Yi Xiang and Hehuan wine?" Lord Lin had already received the experimental report written by Jin Zesen and others, thought about it for a while, and asked tentatively.

Before Lord Lin could finish speaking, she replied lightly: "Huan Yixiang is something I learned from ancient books, and Hehuan wine was given to me by Xuanjing Dao Chief. ”

"Why did he help you?" Ji Xia remembered that Daoist Xuanjing was very nervous about this acacia wine, how could he send it away for no reason!

"He's a man......"

Ji Xia read the meaning of her words and was quite shocked. But her face was as usual, even if she knelt down in the hall, she did not have a trace of panic, as if she was saying something inconsequential.

"Huanyi incense is an aphrodisiac thing, and acacia wine can make people's blood surge, and when the two are used together, the man will 'be fine and die'."

Although Ji Xia and the others already knew the results of the experiment, it was so common for this matter to come out of her mouth. Her indifferent tone was like telling someone else's story. The deceased is her newlywed husband, a husband who dotes on her.

She seemed to see the doubts of Ji Xia and the others, and then said, "Do you really think that he is very fond of me? I'm just a plaything he paid for! Or rather, a 'talisman'! ”

As she spoke, she smiled. The smile was full of mockery, I don't know if she was mocking Master Guan or mocking herself.

"But he's not bad for you!" Ji Xia couldn't help but speak.

Jin Zesen stood beside Ji Xia and pulled Ji Xia's sleeve, trying to stop her.

This is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not the small county seat of Taoyuan County. She is a foreign man, and Lord Lin can make an exception to let her stand next to hear the trial, which is already "graceful", how can she "make noise" in the public court again and again?

But the strange thing is that Lord Lin only frowned slightly, and did not reprimand Ji Xia.

Yang Liu glanced at Ji Xia and did not answer her question, but said slowly: "Girl, do you really not remember me?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to repay you again in the next life!" After speaking, she kowtowed to Ji Xia.

Ji Xia's face was full of doubts, and he looked at Yang Liu seriously.

The box of memory was suddenly opened......

"It's you!" Ji Xia recognized her.

Yang Liu nodded.

"If I could see you at the Yunlai Inn at that time, it would probably be ......," she said without saying a word, "perhaps, this is fate." ”

No wonder she had such complicated emotions in her eyes when she looked at Ji Xia at the banquet.

If she could meet Ji Xia at the Yunlai Inn, she might not marry Master Guan as a concubine, and all the circumstances would be different because of this.

But life is like chess, and there are no regrets.

The so-called fate is mostly our own choice. It's just that at that time, we didn't know that we were at a fork in the road, we just thought that it was an ordinary day in our lives.

"But, I don't regret it." Yang Liu's eyes were full of determination.

She could have chosen to live another life! Even if she doesn't marry Master Guan, with her beauty and wisdom, she can join hands with other men to grow old and spend this life in peace.

"Why!" Ji Xia asked.

"Because Guan Bingchen killed my father!" She said with red eyes.

Her voice trembled slightly with anger.

"My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and I have been dependent on my father since I was a child. My father's name was Yang Mingen, an honest farmer, and although he was illiterate, he always asked me for a master to teach me to read and write. ”

"No wonder you write so well!" Ji Xia recalled the note that Yang Liu left her at that time, and couldn't help but sigh.

She turned her head to look at Ji Xia, trying to squeeze out a smile that wasn't good-looking. The smile flickered.

He continued: "Although our life is not rich, it is still warm and happy. But three years ago, Guan Bingchen, a thief, said that my ancestral tomb was a treasure of feng shui, and he had to let us sell that piece of land to him. ”

"How's that going to work? Moving the grave is a big event, disturbing the ancestors' dreams, is for unfilial piety. Master Lin touched his beard and couldn't help but say.

Yang Liu nodded and said, "My father naturally refuses!" Unexpectedly, the thief surnamed Guan took advantage of my father's illiteracy and deceived my father into signing a contract in the name of leasing. It wasn't until my dad showed it to me that I realized I had been deceived. My father angrily went to Guan Bingchen to theorize, but was beaten by Guan Bingchen, and when he returned home, he only drank a bowl of water, and then vomited blood and died on the spot! ”

"Three years ago?" Ji Xia clearly remembered that she sold her body to bury her father half a month ago.

She continued: "After losing both parents, we were fortunate to be cared for by my uncle, but I didn't expect that a month ago my uncle contracted a serious disease, and we spent all our savings and couldn't cure him. My uncle treats me as his own, and in my heart, he is my father! ”

It turned out that when she sold herself to bury her father, what she said turned out to be a story. But even the story is not leaky, which shows that he is defensive and delicate. Now, she is willing to reveal her heart in front of everyone, what prompted her to make such a decision, even if she exposes the fact of her murder, she must make the truth public?

"It's you, Ji Yanzuo."
