Chapter 20: She's so sweet

Aunt Xue's words were heart-wrenching, which shocked the men present.

Such a harmonious and friendly backyard of a big family is really rare in life!

This...... This is simply the ideal of most men in the world!

Xu Jing's eyes flashed slightly, she looked at Aunt Xue, and slowly glanced at the other Peng family ladies who didn't talk much, and saw that they all had a default expression.

It's literal.

Xu Jing chuckled a little absurdly, and finally locked on Cao Shi, who was looking at her with a white face and complicated and gloomy eyes.

A woman may be generous.

But if a woman truly loves a man, she can never be truly generous.

This Cao family is far more interesting than she thought.

The next thing she didn't say was anything more, and the others seemed tired, just sitting there quietly and waiting for the time to pass.

Only occasionally a few officials looked at the ladies of the Peng family with obscene and longing expressions, and their eyes flashed with the careful thoughts that everyone knew.

An hour has finally passed.

After determining the time from the corona outside, the official in charge of calculating the time ran into the public hall with a loud shout, "It's time!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi, who was wearing a purple official robe, led two officials and strode in from the outside, and walked straight to the back of the public case and sat down.

After starting to count the time, he left the court and went to the backyard, where he came back in time.

Xu Jing couldn't help but pouted secretly.

Not to mention anything else, this shelf is quite sufficient.

As soon as Xiao Yi sat down, he noticed the disapproving expression of the woman not far away, and the whole person couldn't help but pause, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

He had mixed feelings about this woman now.

For this ex-wife, he has never taken it seriously, when he was calculated by her at the beginning, he was really angry for a while, but later found out that this woman is not only stupid but also willful, her mind is full of things that are not on the table, and any superfluous emotions for her are tantamount to playing the piano to a cow.

He can only admit that he didn't have any idea of marrying a wife, and now he is just letting a woman take up his wife's position, which will not have any impact on his life.

The child who was born later was the first accident.

Now the woman in front of her who has changed her temperament is the second accident.

Xiao Yat used to see his ex-wife on five fingers, but he never forgot it, although he couldn't say that he knew his ex-wife very well, but he also knew that she was by no means what she is now.

He couldn't find a trace of the woman he had seen before in her.

He was amazed by her hand autopsy and her familiarity with corpses.

Xiao Yi has never liked this feeling of being out of control, but after seeing this woman today, he was shrouded in this feeling all the time.

He settled down, suppressed these messy thoughts for the time being, and said in a deep voice: "It's time, start." ”

Xu Jing's temporary assistant immediately answered, came to Peng Shi's body, wrapped his hand with a clean handkerchief according to Xu Jing's instructions, dug out the glutinous rice dumpling from Peng Shi's mouth, and put it in the cage where the rat was kept.

The rats in the cage were obviously hungry, and immediately "squeaked" at the sight of the food, and rushed to nibble on it.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and look at the rats in the cage, but after they ate the glutinous rice dumplings, nothing happened.

Aunt Xue couldn't help but "ha", but Xu Jing seemed to know what she wanted to say, and she didn't look at her and said lightly: "Arsenic is not a poison that seals the throat with blood, when people take arsenic enough to kill the amount, they will be poisoned within a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour, and it will take two or three hours to poison slowly."

However, rats are much smaller than humans, so we shouldn't have to wait that long. ”

Xu Jing said, turned her head to look at Aunt Xue, and said with a cold smile: "By the way, the deceased simply used a silver needle to test for poison, and he couldn't detect any toxins, but the deceased didn't die for a long time, so he couldn't detect it at all, so I guess that after the deceased ate the food containing poison, he also ate something else and suppressed the poison."

Therefore, the deceased must have been poisoned after a short period of time, and ......"

Xu Jing paused and said meaningfully: "The deceased was eating before he died, and the deceased died in the middle of the night last night, so at such a late hour, the deceased could only be eating with someone he knew very well." ”

This is simply saying that the person who killed Peng Shi was a member of the Peng family.

Aunt Xue's face suddenly turned completely pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What are you doing to say so much to me!" I didn't say anything! ”

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows, didn't bother with her, and just smiled "oh".

However, this attitude was even more infuriating than the argument she had with her.

Aunt Xue bit her lip fiercely, and wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a man's surprised and excited voice sound, "There is a reaction!" There is a response! ”

Everyone immediately looked at the cage not far away, but saw that the rats in the cage that were still fine suddenly made a violent "squeak" sound, some ran around like crazy, bumped into the cage, and some rolled directly to the ground.

Even if you look at them, you can feel how painful they are.

The faces of everyone in the Peng family suddenly turned blue for a while and turned white for a while, which was wonderful.

In the end, three of the four rats died on the spot, and the remaining one looked like life was worse than death.

This is enough to show that Peng Shi's body is indeed poisonous!

He was poisoned!

There was silence in the public hall for a moment, and in the end, it was Xu Jing who broke the silence.

She turned around slowly, looked at the Peng family who was still shouting that she was the murderer, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "The matter is very clear, Peng Shi was poisoned, but his body appeared in my yard, and he pretended to be killed by someone stabbing her in the center with a knife, someone wanted to blame me!"

According to Mrs. Cao, before going to bed yesterday, Peng Shi slept well with her, but she slept until midnight and woke up by chance, only to find that Peng Shi was gone.

If Mrs. Cao hadn't lied, the person who would have let Peng Shishi eat with him at night and take the opportunity to poison Peng Shi could only be his acquaintance!

And it's not difficult to find out who the murderer is, you say yes, Xiao Shilang? ”

This guy has been on the sidelines for long enough.

Xu Jing felt that she was also caring enough, and gave him a chance to perform at the end.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Xu Jing meaninglessly, and said lightly: "Indeed, now that I know that Peng Shi was poisoned with arsenic, it is easy to find out the murderer."

Although arsenic can be used as medicine, it also contains highly toxic drugs, so the government strictly controls arsenic, not only strictly restricting the sales channels of arsenic, but also requiring pharmacies to record the list of every customer who has bought arsenic.

Anping County is not big, as long as you check who has bought arsenic in the recent period, and who among those people is close to Peng Shi, you can basically lock up the murderer. ”

When Xiao Yi spoke, Xu Jing kept staring at Cao Shi tightly, seeing that Cao's face was getting more and more ugly, and his eyes were getting more and more empty.

And Hexiang, who was holding Cao's on the side, seemed to have noticed something, and turned her head to look at her wife in disbelief.

She is Madame's personal maidservant, and it can be said that Madame has few things to hide from her.

She remembered that about half a month ago, her wife asked her to go to the pharmacy to buy some arsenic for medicine on the grounds that an aunt at home had a cold phlegm asthma cough that could not be cured for a long time.

However, she clearly remembered that at that time, under the careful care of the doctor, the aunt's illness was almost better!

It's just that she was used to following Madame's orders and didn't think much about it.

Her heart trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but recall more details.

She remembered that before going to bed last night, Mrs. asked her to prepare a table of wine and food, saying that because of the matter of the, the Lang master was in a very bad mood, and she wanted to accompany the Lang master to drink some wine and talk.

She also said that she was worried that Lord Lang would be angry with her, so she didn't have to serve in the room, just go down and rest.

Later, when she was called over by her wife again, it was already the middle of the night, and the lord of the lang was gone......

Could it be ......

But, impossible, impossible!

He Xiang was fighting fiercely in her heart, but the Cao family she was holding stood up straight, raised her head, and a pair of originally calm and peaceful eyes bloomed with fierce and crazy light, and she took a deep breath and sneered: "don't have to keep staring at me.

That's right! I killed that beast! I've put up with him for a long time! He never thought of me as his wife! Less than half a year after I started, he began to carry women to the backyard room after room! I just said a few words to him, and he punched and kicked him!

Later, my heart died, and I didn't want to suffer for this kind of thing anymore, so I told myself that it was not a big deal, and even helped him appease the women he forced into the house, hahaha, but I didn't expect that such a little favor would move them, hahaha! ”

Seeing that Cao Shi laughed and burst into tears as he spoke, and even bent over with laughter, everyone in the Peng family looked at her in disbelief, and kept shaking their heads and muttering: "Impossible, this can't be ......"

How could their always gentle, considerate, virtuous and virtuous lady be the murderer of Lord Lang!

Xu Jing didn't have a look of surprise on her face, and said, "Since your heart is dead, why did you kill Peng Shi again after so many years?" ”

Cao Shi slowly straightened his waist, looking at Xu Jing's eyes were extremely complicated, and suddenly, he gritted his teeth and smiled: ", you are very powerful, unexpectedly powerful, this time, I underestimated you, I lost convinced!"

I thought my heart was dead, but yesterday, when I was drinking and chatting with that beast, he kept talking about those dirty thoughts about you, cursing your self-righteousness and arrogance, I suddenly felt so bored, and when I thought that I had lived with such a person for the rest of my life, and I would continue to live with him for the rest of my life, a nameless fire surged up in my heart.

By the time I came to my senses, I had already pulled out the arsenic I had asked my maid to buy......

I killed that beast, I killed it alone! I don't regret it! I've wanted to do this for a long time!

Now that my children have grown up, my son has already achieved fame, and my daughter is married, I am also free of worries, hahaha! ”

Seeing that the more Cao laughed, the more crazy he became, the people around him were speechless.

I can't say whether this incident is more sad or regretful.

The few servants who were originally envious of the women in the backyard of the Peng family who loved each other had an expression of eating fly feces.

Damn, such a glamorous blessing, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he will not be blessed!

However, Xu Jing still looked at Cao Shi without blinking, a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes, her red lips opened slightly, and she said word by word: "No." ”

- "Peng Shi was not killed by you, at least, not by you alone!" ”
