Chapter 101: The Banquet Turmoil

Not long after, the door was opened again, and a middle-aged scribe walked in.

When the man came in, everyone in the audience stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

"Your Excellency!"

Then everyone got up and saluted the middle-aged scribe.

"Hehe, please sit down, don't be too restrained, just treat this banquet as a meal between friends." Wen Qingyang smiled and waved his hand, walked to the upper seat, and sat down.

Hearing his words, everyone nodded and sat down.

"When I took office, I didn't visit you because of mundane matters, and I felt guilty. I invite you to come here this time just to get to know you. Wen Qingyang said to everyone with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled kindly.

"Also, I had a problem when I took office, and I would like you to help. The person who helps me solve the case the most, I will recommend him to join the jade people. In this matter, I also asked a hundred adults to vouch for it. Wen Qingyang's expression was slightly restrained, and he said with a smile.

"Hmm." Chen Ming replied boredly, pinched a peanut in his hand, crushed the peanut shell, shook his hand, and threw the peanut kernel into his mouth.

Hearing his words, the people in the audience couldn't help but smile.

Naturally, they knew about it. And a lot of them, because of this.

Otherwise, how would they come here with just a general judgment?

You know, Qamdo is one of the wealthiest cities in Jiangnan, and as a native of the family, they have members who go to the test every year.

Behind some families, there are even Jingguan standing behind them.

With this kind of confidence, some people naturally will not take the general judgment of a positive six products in their eyes.

"Lord Tongju, I think this matter is simple!" At this moment, a voice immediately came.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume.

Immediately, Chu Zheng knew the name of this person from the whispers of the people around him.

This person, called Qi Ming, is the son of the Qi family.

The Qi family is the home of merchants in Qamdo Province, and many Dan pavilions have been opened in various parts of Qamdo Province.

In his family, there are even several alchemists, and he has contacts with many alchemists.

In Chamdo, it can be regarded as a very famous family.

Qi Ming held a fan in his hand and said with a smile: "The key point in this case is that there is no evidence. There is a stranger beside me who knows the Sutra of Ecstasy, as long as he uses the Sutra of Ecstasy on that Li Ming, he can knock on his mouth, and it is not difficult to obtain evidence. ”

As Qi Ming's words fell, the people in the audience suddenly discussed, as if they were about to explode.

When Chu Zheng heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

What kind of obsessed heart sutra is this, as soon as you hear it, it is not a serious exercise. If it is used, I am afraid that it will hurt Li Ming.

Thinking of this, he prepared to speak.

"No!" But just as Chu was about to speak, a loud cheer came.

Chu Zheng followed the prestige and saw a middle-aged man wearing a big hat.

The middle-aged man, with cold eyes, was extremely terrifying.

"It's the Golden Bell of the Broken Door Knife." Someone recognized the middle-aged man.

"I heard that he is close to the realm of the seventh grade."

"When he reached this realm, what else did he fight for with the jade? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the people in the rivers and lakes? ”

“……”

For a while, everyone began to talk about the Admiralty.

At the same time, they all looked at Admiralty to see what he was going to say.

"Oh." Qi Ming's eyes were slightly cold, "I don't know why Mr. Jin thinks it's impossible." ”

Jin Zhong raised his head, looked at Qi Ming with a pair of tiger eyes, and snorted: "I have also heard of this Ecstasy Sutra in the rivers and lakes, it is a secret technique that confuses people's hearts. You said that this secret technique can make Li Ming explain things, I believe it. However, who can be sure that this stranger next to you will not fake?

In case he confuses Li Ming, he deliberately makes Li Ming admit to poisoning. So what? Is this called solving a crime? If so, who in this hall can't be a murderer? ”

Hearing his words, the faces of the people in the audience changed a little, and when they looked at Qi Ming's eyes, they couldn't help but scrutinize a little more.

"You're spewing blood!" When Qi Ming heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he scolded angrily, "My Qi family is a famous family in Qamdo Mansion, how could I do such a thing!" ”

When Jin Zhong heard this, he just sneered, "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and who knows what you think in your hearts." ”

"You!" When Qi Ming heard his words, he was immediately furious, and there was a posture of wanting to fight.

"Alright." At this moment, Wen Qingyang's voice came from above.

Everyone looked at Wen Qingyang, wanting to see what the person who hosted the banquet was going to say.

"The method given by Qi Gongzi is quite effective, but the case should not be solved. In any case, if you want to solve the case, you should rely on real evidence, not other means. Wen Qingyang shook his head and said.

Seeing him say this, Qi Ming's face darkened a little.

"I'll tell you more about the details of this case." Wen Qingyang looked at everyone and said, "This case happened a few days ago, when Zhang Shan brought the banana leaves home, so he asked his daughter-in-law to boil soup and medicine to treat his son for wind and cold.

After that, he went to the gambling house to gamble for money. After a few hours, a nearby neighbor found Zhang Shan and told Zhang Shan that something had happened at home.

When Zhang Shan returned home, he found that his wife and children had died, and immediately reported to the authorities.

Later, when we examined the corpse, we found that the silver needle pierced into his throat was pitch black, and we judged that the wife and son were found to be arsenic. ”

Hearing his words, one of them hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since Zhang Shan's son is sick, why did his wife die?" ”

"Did your mother drink your medicine when you were fed medicine as a child?" One sneered.

Hearing his words, everyone was stunned, and then they all nodded.

When they were children, when they were reluctant to drink medicine, their mother used to often drink it herself, saying that it was not bitter, and then luring them to drink it.

Everyone's faces couldn't help but show complicated looks.

"It shouldn't be this relationship." At this moment, a voice suddenly came.

Hearing this voice, the crowd couldn't help but look at it.

Immediately, they saw a young man in ordinary clothes standing up.

Obviously, it was this young man who spoke just now.

When everyone saw his clothes that were incompatible with this place, and a somewhat green face, they couldn't help frowning, and their hearts were displeased.

This young man is here to make trouble, right?

They didn't believe that the young man could say anything that would make a difference.

Chu Zheng turned a blind eye to these people's gazes, and just said lightly: "That Zhang Shan is a gambler, and there must be no surplus food at home." In such a situation, how could his wife just throw away the medicine? ”

I think that his wife, because she was reluctant to take the medicine and was afraid of wasting it, ate the rest of the medicine as food, and was poisoned because of it.

He only remembered this matter from the last time Zhang Shan asked him for chickens.

The other party is so poor, how can he do wasteful things?

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, many people in the audience felt incredible.

As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison, how can anyone eat medicine as a meal? Don't you want to die?

However, some people who were born poor nodded slightly and agreed with this point of view.

Not to mention medicine, when they were hungry as children, they even ate tree bark and poisonous wild vegetables.

As long as you can survive.

Wen Changqing looked at Chu Zheng in surprise, and then saw Xu Rong next to him, and immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

Chen Ming on the side looked at Chu Zheng and squinted his eyes.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that this young man was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

And he doesn't think it's an illusion.

As a person with jade, he has long had the ability to remember people, and if he remembers people carefully, he will definitely remember them at first sight.

This young man must belong to someone he had seen before, but he had not memorized it carefully.

"There is some truth in this matter, but it has nothing to do with solving the case. Now we are looking for poisoners. Qi Ming couldn't help but choke when he saw that Chu Zheng's words were agreed by the people here.

"Qi Gongzi is right." Chu Zheng nodded, sat down, picked up chopsticks, and put a piece of beef tongue into the bowl.

When everyone saw him like this, they were a little stunned.

On such occasions, you can still eat, I'm afraid you're sick, right?

"Something interesting." A smile appeared in Chen Ming's eyes, but this young man had some appetite for him.

Qi Ming was stunned and looked at Chu Zheng. A constipated expression on his face.

Originally, his words were agreed by Chu Zheng, and he should feel happy.

But now he had a feeling of wanting to vomit, like a hard punch that hit the cotton, giving him a huge sense of contrast.

This feeling is not uncomfortable at all.

Qi Ming even wished that Chu Zheng would get up and scold himself fiercely, and he would scold him back again.

"Ahem...... Wen Qingyang coughed and said, "What Qi Gongzi said is not wrong, so what do you think about, you can talk about it." ”

After speaking, he looked at everyone expectantly.

Then, there was a lot of discussion.

"I think it may be Zhang Shantou's poison, if you want to solve the case, you can investigate Zhang Shan, and even take Zhang Shan to the government and torture him." Just then, a voice came.

Hearing his words, the people were stunned and looked at the man.

It was a middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a linen dress, and there was a gloomy air between his eyebrows.

"How is that possible!" An old man glared at the middle-aged man angrily and asked, "Do you think that there will be murder of wives and children in Qamdo Mansion?" Get the hell out of here! ”

Many people in the hall glared at the middle-aged man angrily.

This is their hometown, so naturally they can't tolerate others to defile it, and this kind of thing is too appalling to kill their wives and children.

"There are cannibalism outside the city, what's so strange about killing wives and children in the city." The middle-aged man sneered.

When some of the people heard this, they were all stunned.

"It can't be." Wen Qingyang, who was in the upper seat, shook his head, "We have also investigated this mountain, although he is a gambler, he has an excellent relationship with his wife and children, and there is no possibility of harming his wife and children." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said: "Moreover, this Zhang Shan and Li Ming do not have a deep hatred, there is no need to frame Li Ming with the lives of his wife and children because of some quarrels." ”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand, "Let's end the discussion of the case, I invite everyone to dinner today." If everyone can come to Yamen after solving the case, I will naturally recommend him to go to bring the jade people. ”

With that, he sat down to eat.

Chu Zheng was slightly surprised, what he asked Xu Rong to do, Wen Qingyang would naturally know.

However, he soon understood that this Wen Qingyang was deliberate.

In order not to startle the snake.

At the same time, Chu Zheng also understood why Wen Qingyang stopped discussing this matter.

This case has not been solved now, and now a group of people are discussing it here, but it may startle the snake, which will not help solve the case at all.

Then he went on to eat the salt elbow.

This elbow is boiled in water, which may be the reason why it has been salted, with a slight saltiness, but it is quite good.

When the others saw this, they didn't discuss the case loudly, but everyone at each table discussed it in a low voice.

At this moment, Xu Rong on the side quietly touched Chu Zheng with his elbow.

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Rong, and saw Xu Rong standing up and walking outside.

His heart moved, and he immediately followed.

And their departure did not attract the attention of others.

After going out, Chu Zheng looked at Xu Rong and asked, "Brother Xu, what's wrong?" ”

"Let's go to a side room, wait a while, Wen Tong wants to see you." Xu Rong said with a smile.

Chu Zheng nodded slightly, probably understanding what was going on.

Now that the case is progressing for the first time, it is because of his own suggestion, how can the other party not see him.

Then, he followed Xu Rong and came to a side room.

In the middle of the wing, there is a charcoal stove burning, which makes it seem a little warm.

There is ventilation here, but it does not let the cold wind outside blow in and become cold, so that the whole house is in a suitable temperature.

I have to say it's a little magical.

Chu Zheng found a place to sit down and began to eat peanuts.

Xu Rong, who was next to him, was a little anxious, and because of the passage of time, he began to walk back and forth non-stop.

"What's the matter, Brother Chu, are you sure?" Xu Rong looked at Chu Zheng and asked suddenly.

"It's okay." Chu Zheng was eating peanuts and said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Xu Rong glanced at him and was a little speechless.

This young man is good everywhere, but he doesn't have any of the vitality that a young man should have, and some of them are too steady.

It's too calm.

Like a man in his forties and fifties.

"No, I can't be compared to such a young man." Xu Rong thought to himself.

Then, like Chu Zheng, he sat on a chair and ate peanuts.

After a while, it was getting darker and darker outside, and no one had yet come, and Xu Rong gradually became a little unsettled.

"There's no hurry." Chu Zheng shook his head, and there was doubt in his eyes.

It stands to reason that the banquet should have ended now, why hasn't the other party come over yet?

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
