Chapter 291: The Dungeon of Yongzhen
Yan Sandao: "Husband, the body was found by me, and it is in the side room of the side courtyard, and there are no external injuries on the body...... Sister Qingyao was notified as soon as possible. ”
Yu Qingyao: "I died for about half an hour, and it was confirmed that I was killed by taking the 'life-killing pill', there was no trace of outsiders breaking into the room, and I asked other maids, she returned home from Fang City, and she didn't come out again when she returned to her room......"
Qin Ziyue: "Husband, I have checked and confirmed from Fang City that at the moment of the unitary hour, she did buy a bottle of 'Life-Killing Pill' in the 'Qi Medicine Hall', a total of two. ”
“……”
Everyone said a word, and told me the details, including Xiao Xing's movements throughout the day.
Finally, Yu Qingyao pointed to the things on the table and said, "These are personal belongings found from her residence. ”
There is a leftover 'life-killing pill', as well as prayer beads, dough, silver taels, jewelry, and other items.
Zhong Yan walked to the chair in front of him and sat down, looked around and said, "Find winter grass and autumn fragrance." ”
Li Jingqiu stopped sobbing, and the venue was quiet for a while.
Seeing Zhong Yan's face was serious and cold, and the eyes of the women flickered, Liu Ziying looked anxious, looking at the suicide note in Yu Qingyao's hand from time to time, not knowing what happened.
Not much.
Yuan Ziyi went and flew back to the yard, and Dongcao and Qiuxiang came together.
Seeing a group of people around the hall, and one was lying down, the two of them didn't know why, they knew that something was wrong, they both tightened their hearts, and hurriedly saluted together.
"The concubine has seen her husband, sisters."
The two of them have one main inner courtyard and one main school, and they can almost grasp the work, life and outgoing trends of Li Jingqiu's mansion.
Zhong Yan said: "Dongcao, Qiuxiang, you can talk about the situation of Jingqiu this month, such as going out, whether you are absent from school, you have to be detailed." ”
The two glanced at each other, bowed and said yes, and said something respectively.
For example, Li Jingqiu once took a day off to go out with his personal maid for a walk, and refused to be followed by the guards.
Another example, today Li Jingqiu has been teaching in Shizhong Academy all day and did not leave until the end of school.
Yan Sandao added: "Yes, husband, we moved the corpse here, and Sister Jingqiu came back." ”
Zhong Yan looked at Li Jingqiu, who was teary-eyed: "Jingqiu, what do you have to say about Xiaoxing's death?" ”
Li Jingqiu looked up and lowered his eyes, panicking in his heart, he didn't expect Xiao Xing to commit suicide suddenly, something must have happened that he didn't know.
"You know best what you've done, now give you a chance, tell the truth."
Li Jingqiu's thoughts were confused, his heart was worried, and he didn't know where to start.
"What, dare to do it?"
Zhong Yan raised his hand and took the suicide note from Yu Qingyao's hand and threw it in front of her, shouting: "Speak!" ”
Li Jingqiu's body shook suddenly, his eyes swept over the content of the paper, his face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out on the ground: "Husband! Master, the concubine knows her mistakes, woo woo......"
Zhong Yan was annoyed for a while, "Let's talk about the purchase of medicine and poisoning in detail!" ”
Touching her husband's gaze, Li Jingqiu's heart trembled, she couldn't regret it, bit her lip, confessed 1510, and said a stick of incense intermittently.
Breaking the sea pill, destroying the dantian qi sea, and destroying the humanitarian foundation.
Soul Devouring Gu, colorless and tasteless, immersed in incense candles and burning, is only useful for monks, can disperse people's vitality, make the monk's realm fall into mortals, can no longer practice, and has the pain of piercing the heart and eating bones.
……
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and all the female cultivators couldn't help but be afraid, if it happened to them...... I don't dare to think about it.
Zhong Yanhu suspected that it was all her own idea and was not influenced by outsiders.
However, Xiao Xing's death was not in her plan, the master and servant had talked about it, if the incident happened, Xiao Xing would come forward to take everything, but today's incident was completely sudden.
After a little groaning, Zhong Yan speculated that it should be Xiao Xing who fainted in the alley, was questioned by Wen Yongshan, and had a premonition that something was wrong, and he was afraid that he would go to the Shizhong Courtyard to report to the master and cause suspicion, so he took the initiative to end it on his own.
Yuan Ziyi said: "The problem should be in the black market, someone with a heart discovered their purpose, what did they take the opportunity to plan, but, why search for a maid?" ”
Zhong Yan was silent, and everyone in the audience did not dare to come out.
He got up and walked in front of Li Jingqiu.
Li Jingqiu raised his head, tears rolled down, and he couldn't cry: "Concubine...... Knowing one's mistakes and being willing to accept any punishment. ”
After looking at each other for a moment, Zhong Yan pressed his hand on her head, never thinking that the first soul search was on his own person.
The huge memories and complicated thoughts drilled into Zhong Yan's sea of knowledge one by one, and there was a slight feeling of swelling and pain.
Fortunately, his consciousness is strong, and he is only slightly uncomfortable.
Long.
Zhong Yan withdrew his hand and read all of Li Jingqiu's memories and thoughts, and was silent for a while, his mood was extremely complicated, including anger, accidents, puzzlement, and shock......
He secretly sighed at the complexity of people's hearts and human nature, and jealousy made her so psychologically distorted.
At the same time, she sighed her feelings for herself, since her good impression of herself can be traced back to the first meeting, when she was only ten years old, practicing archery in the martial arts field of Li Mansion, and felt that 'uncle' was born very good-looking, as she grew up, she understood the love between men and women, and her love was just beginning, and she fantasized about 'uncle' as her husband......
Up to now, in her heart, she can do anything for him, including giving her life, I am afraid that it is no less than the wife and concubine who have been bound.
is so affectionate, most likely because of his jealousy of Jiang Huan, he failed to bind it.
In addition, what Zhong Yan didn't expect was that Li Jingqiu's thoughts had a very strong obsession, which was almost equal to her feelings for herself, occupying a small half of the sea of knowledge: she wanted to step into cultivation and accompany her husband to the end of his life.
What puzzled Zhong Yan was that even she couldn't figure out why she was only jealous of Jiang Huan and hostile.
And at this moment, he still resents Jiang Huan in his heart, and he doesn't repent.
However, she didn't lie about the causes and consequences of poisoning Jiang Huan, she still had a trace of bottom line in her heart, she didn't want to harm Jiang Huan's life, and when she bought medicine on the black market, she repeatedly confirmed whether the 'Spirit Devouring Gu' would make people poison to death, and she just wanted Jiang Huan to become a mortal from beginning to end.
"Hoo ......"
Zhong Yan exhaled lightly and said loudly: "Huan'er's poisoning is unpredictable in the future, Dongcao, having evil thoughts in his heart, persecuting his family, causing chaos in the mansion, causing death and injury, what is the crime according to the family rules?" ”
"This ......" Dongcao looked at Zhong Yan's face, then at Li Jingqiu, hesitated a little, lowered his head and said softly: "Hui Fujun, this is a serious crime, and it should be punished by cannon branding." ”
The hall can be heard of pins dropping.
"Sir!"
Liu Ziying's face changed greatly, he fell to the ground, knelt at Zhong Yan's feet, and cried and pleaded.
"Uncle! It's because the concubine's discipline is not strict, and you can't restrain Qiu'er well, if you want to punish the concubine, punish the concubine! ”
"Please also read on Qiu'er's father's face, spare her life, and the concubine is willing to be a cow and a horse to atone for her sins!"
Zhong Yan glanced at her and looked at Jiang Huan: "Huan'er, this matter concerns you, what is your opinion?" ”
Jiang Huan pursed his lips vigorously, feeling pity and hatred for Li Jingqiu in his heart, he always found it difficult to believe that the other party would take action to persecute him, and at the beginning he also wanted to use the 'Breaking Sea Pill', if his Dao foundation was completely destroyed, he could no longer practice his long companion husband, and it would not be enough to relieve his hatred by cutting a thousand knives with his own hands.
Liu Ziying pulled her depressed daughter, turned to Jiang Huan, and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Huan, please see the sisterhood of learning martial arts with Qiu'er, spare her once, Qiu'er will definitely reform and be a new person!" ”
Jiang Huan had no waves, and said calmly: "Everything depends on the master." ”
Zhong Yan was silent and said, "Li Jingqiu, ask yourself, have I ever treated you badly?" ”
Li Jingqiu burst into tears: "My husband treats me with great grace, and being able to accompany my husband is a blessing that the concubine has cultivated for several lifetimes, and the concubine is blinded physically and mentally for a while, and she is confused for a while, and she makes a big mistake, and she is willing to accept the punishment......."
Zhong Yan: "Even if I am biased, you are by no means the one who treats me slowly." You and I are husband and wife, thinking that your father entrusted him on his deathbed, and now he is willing to admit punishment and spare you for the death penalty, Ziyue, Li Jingqiu will be imprisoned in prison, guarded by a special person, and he will not take half a step in his life! ”
What is the difference between this and giving death...... Liu Ziying shouted: "Uncle! ”
Li Jingqiu fell to the ground miserably: "Thank you for the grace of not killing...... old man"
Zhong Yan looked around the hall.
"In the future, whoever dares to do something similar to corrupting the harmony of the family and harming the clansmen will be punished according to the clan rules! No mercy! ”
"Winter grass, inform the whole house to set an example!
"Another warning is that people from the Li Mansion are coming, and Li Shangwu is a low-key person who does his duty."
"My friendship with Li Henian will not be so ruined by them again, don't take it out again to plead for mercy!"
"Scattered!"
