Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth, held back his anger, and asked: "Where can we not stand you, you want to poison your wife?" Who is the lame king? He said that he would not die, and you believed it? Who gave you the courage to do this apostasy? ”
The mother-in-law is almost sane at this time, she only knows that she follows her heart without concealing it, and her psychological defense line is extremely weak, and when she was asked by Lin Ruhai, she couldn't help but burst into tears, crying: "The lord and the lady are very good to me, I am sorry for you, but I really don't want to hurt the lady, I just want to save my son, he owes money, if he can't pay it back, the creditor wants him to pay with his life, he hasn't married yet, I can't watch others beat him to death...... The lame king said that as long as he drugged his wife, he would pay off my son's debts, and I had no choice...... The lame king clearly said that the grass would only make Mrs. sleepy and despair, and it would not kill her, I didn't expect Mrs. to be in a coma......"
"Who is the lame king? Why did he harm us? Lin Ruhai said angrily.
The mother-in-law said: "The lame king is the steward of the gambling house, and he lives near our house, and I don't know why he wants to hurt people, I asked him, but he refused to say......"
Lin Ruhai asked several times, but he only figured out the characteristics and address of Wang Cripple, no matter how many women there were, he didn't know, and he couldn't ask more, so he tied her up and put her in the firewood room, found a cronie to guard her strictly, and asked people to take Yunqing to rest, so he took someone out in a hurry to arrest Wang Cripple.
Yunqing looked at the dark night sky, there was still an hour before dawn, and he couldn't sleep at this time, so he simply meditated in the room, and when the sky was bright, he came out to have breakfast, and went to visit Jia Min again.
Jia Min hasn't woken up yet, but Lin Ruhai has already come back, looking at his look, it is estimated that there is no gain, a question, sure enough, no one was found, when he took someone to find Wang Cripple's residence, he found that the house had already been empty, and asked the neighbors, someone saw him leave in a carriage in the evening, as for where he went, no one knows.
Lin Ruhai couldn't find anyone, he couldn't vent his anger and couldn't vent it, so he could only come back angrily, and when he saw Yun Qing, he couldn't help but ask her if there was any way, Yun Qing thought about it, and asked him to find a personal belongings of Wang Cripple, Lin Ruhai immediately sent someone to find it, and after a while, he sent a piece of clothing, which Wang Cripple left at home and didn't take away, Yun Qing folded a paper crane with rune paper, pinched a law, and the paper crane moved, and after pecking at the clothes, it slowly flew out.
"Follow it and you'll find people." Yun Qing pointed to the paper crane that flew away and said.
Lin Ruhai opened his eyes, hurriedly arranged for someone to follow, and did not forget to praise: "Dao Chang is very capable!" ”
Yun Qing smiled, but his heart was not relaxed, and said to Lin Ruhai: "I want to go to his house to have a look, please ask Lord Lin to find someone to lead the way." ”
Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Min was sleeping peacefully, and he couldn't wake up for a while, so he simply led the way by himself and led Yunqing to Wang Cripple's house, the door of his house had been knocked open by the Lin family's little guys, and there were originally people who were looking to probe their brains, but when Yunqing and his party came over, they all shrank back, for fear of provoking right and wrong, and they didn't even look at the excitement.
Yun Qing went in and walked around, but didn't find what he was looking for, and breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Ruhai asked when he saw this, Yun Qing said: "According to the mother-in-law's statement, the lame king gave her a poisonous weed, I want to see if there is anything else in his house, so as not to be used." Now it seems that he doesn't have it at home, so I hope he doesn't have it with him. ”
Lin Ruhai had the opportunity to ask: "What is the origin of that poisonous weed?" Is it harmful? ”
Yun Qing said: "The grass is called the devouring grass, as the name suggests, it can devour vitality, make people unconscious due to lack of energy, and gradually die of vitality in a coma, to say that the toxicity is not strong, but it is very hidden, and the poison of the devouring grass is not seen from the pulse, it is very like the natural consumption of the human body, so it is difficult for people who have not seen it to detoxify, I originally thought that this grass was extinct outside, but I didn't expect it to exist, so I must find Wang Cripple, ask where he got it from, and can't be left outside, In case someone uses it to harm others. ”
According to the handwritten records of the predecessors, eighty years ago, there were cultivators who used the devouring grass to harm people, and after finding out, all the Xuanmen carried out a clean-up activity together, and the spiritual grass that was harmful to people was removed, and a rule was also established, that is, cultivators are not allowed to use extraordinary means to target ordinary people, and there has been no similar incident since then. Yun Qing felt that he had to be on guard.
Fortunately, the growth environment of the spirit grass is harsh, and even if there is still a retention, it will not be too much, otherwise it will be really a trouble. After all, the current Xuanmen Daomen has withered, for such a long time, she has only met two serious monks, and the rest of the people, even if there are some mysterious methods, they are all small tricks, and they are not counted as fellow practitioners at all, if something really goes wrong, there are not many people who can make a move, and Yunqing is afraid that he will be busy to death at that time.
However, these things don't need to be explained to Lin Ruhai, so Yun Qing didn't mention a word, Lin Ruhai didn't ask much, his focus has been elsewhere, and he couldn't help complaining to Yun Qing on the way back: "Since coming to Yangzhou, my husband and wife have always been kind to others, I dare not say that there is any merit, I don't think I have any deep hatred with anyone, how can anyone want Min Mei's life?" I really can't figure it out......"
Yunqing couldn't figure it out.
If you want to say that Lin Ruhai has a grudge against others, or because of his work, he is in the way of others, and someone wants to get rid of him, it can be regarded as a reason, but why target Jia Min? She is a woman in the house, usually does not go out of the door, and often comes and goes with the family of officials, even if she gets along with people unpleasantly, she will not hate her so much that she wants to kill her, right?
Yun Qing couldn't figure it out, Lin Ruhai recalled it carefully a few times, and he didn't come up with anyone who he had such a big enmity with, both of them were confused, so they could only hope to catch Wang Cripple quickly and ask the person concerned, they should always be able to solve their doubts!
In the afternoon, Jia Min really woke up, and after figuring out the situation, he pulled Yun Qing to thank him, but Yun Qing didn't care much, Lin Ruhai and his wife were friends she recognized, and when her friends were in trouble, how could she stand by and watch?
The next day, the Lin family's family lived up to expectations and successfully arrested Wang Cripple, Lin Ruhai was not carried away by anger, his servant he could interrogate, but he could not lynch Wang Cripple, he himself arranged for someone to arrest Wang Cripple, all of them were already regarded as overstepping, and it was not easy to explain to others if they did anything else, so after they were caught, they were not allowed to enter Lin's house at all, but were directly escorted to the Yamen, and at the same time sent the mother-in-law together, which was regarded as making up for the procedure of reporting the case.
