Yang Ye and several people gathered in the academy.

Yang Ye sat by the window thinking about things, but Yang Shen on the side was very anxious, kept pacing back and forth, and said, "Why did the Criminal Department come to ask again, is this matter still over?" ”

Before, Guo Xi called them one by one to talk, and after the talk, he asked them to stay in the academy and not move around recently, thinking that they were all students who had passed the exam, and maybe they would have official bodies in two or three years, and they were all politely greeted, but after all, these students had not been restricted in their freedom, even in the academy, they were extremely uncomfortable.

Zhu Zhuzhi nodded to Yang Ye and said, "You see that people are calm and relaxed, but they have done things in the Criminal Department, you can't do this." ”

Yang Shen glanced at what Yang Ye was about to say, and Feng Mo on the side said, "What you said is to draw a knife for Brother Yang Ye." But if it weren't for your zongzi, it wouldn't have made so many things. ”

Yang Shen paused and said hatefully: "That is, if it weren't for your zongzi, Brother Zhu wouldn't have died." ”

Zhu Zhuzhi lowered his head and said a little tiredly: "I'd rather be the one who ate the zongzi in the first place." Also, that person probably wanted me to die, but he dragged down Brother Zhu and you. ”

Saying this, Shen Pingxiu on the other side said to Feng Mo: "You complain about what Brother Zhu has done, he is also a victim." Now the top priority is to catch the murderer, so as to comfort Brother Zhu's spirit in the sky. You say yes, right? Brother Liang. ”

Liang Su sat on a stool and drank water, and without raising his head, he responded: "Hmm." Shen Pingxiu knew Liang Su's temperament, so he didn't chase and ask, but Yang Shen became irritable again and complained: "When are they going to find out?" If you don't recognize people and poison them casually, whoever poisons them will be counted as whom, and you can't find out in the past 800 years? ”

Yang Ye opened his mouth and said: "Now it seems that the government probably suspects a few of us, so they detain us here. ”

When Yang Shen heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "Why? What does this have to do with us. Zhu Zhuzhi took the zongzi and let a few of us eat it, we were almost poisoned, okay? Still suspicious of us? ”

Zhu Zhuzhi, Feng Mo, Shen Pingxiu, and Liang Su all looked at it, and Yang Ye continued: "If it is poisoned casually, whoever is poisoned is counted, then it is better to poison all the zongzi, so that everyone dies, isn't it more effective." A zongzi was placed, indicating that the person who poisoned had a goal. ”

Liang Su wiped his mouth and said, "I heard that Boss Fang has been released, and the government has probably confirmed that it is not the Fang family's problem. At the beginning, I felt that it was wrong, if I accidentally floated into a few oleander petals, Brother Zhu would not have gone so quickly, and he could save it by drinking the decoction. I thought it was the juice of the oleander stems, and the poison came quickly and violently. ”

Shen Pingxiu asked, "Then what does it mean?" ”

Liang Su glanced at him and said, "This juice is quite troublesome to extract, and after extraction, the medicinal effect will be weakened by half after six hours, and the fresher it is, the more toxic it is." I looked at Brother Zhu's condition that day, and most of the poison was within six hours, so the government determined that the zongzi were poisoned in the academy. ”

Feng Mo thought for a while and said, "There are so many people in the academy, why are you just detaining a few of us?" I remember that Brother Zhu also sent the zongzi to the kitchen for the cooks to cook and bring them. ”

Yang Ye said: "Didn't Lord Guo take all the people in the kitchen to the government for questioning? Presumably, there will be results in the next few days. ”

Liang Su on the side continued: "The people in the kitchen should be fine. Which of them is going to poison Brother Zhu? Isn't this enough to be fed? It must be a deep hatred to be able to do this. ”

"What do you mean? How many of us have a deep hatred with Brother Zhu? Yang Shen immediately asked rhetorically when he heard this.

"Hey, to be honest, Brother Zhu, do you have a deep grudge in your family? Otherwise, we would be the biggest suspects. Liang Su drank the water on the table again, and said, "By the way, Brother Zhu, don't hide it, at this time, if there is some selfishness in the family, you have to say it." Otherwise, the brothers would be wasted here. ”

Zhu Zhuzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Guo has said this before. Although there are many people in my family, everyone is amiable, even if they are selfish, they are just quarrels between the female relatives of the family, and they really can't talk about deep hatred and resentment. ”

"Last time, Lord Shaoyin and Master Bookkeeper had already checked my house, and even the maid in the second room secretly sprinkled dust in the soup in the third room. The zongzi gift box is placed in the gatehouse of my house, where two little servants are waiting at the door all the year round, and no one has ever broken off, so no one should poison my home. ”

Yang Ye nodded and said, "Then Brother Zhu took the zongzi that day and went back to the academy directly, did he stay during the period?" ”

Zhu Zhuzhi said: "Lord Guo has also asked about this. I stopped twice, once to buy pen, ink and paper to use at the pen and ink shop at Gaosheng Street, and once to buy a few new books at the bookstore on Baiyun Road. The government must have checked it all. ”

An Ying went home on duty and walked on the road.

Since my father's shop opened, after my younger brothers and sisters have settled down, it seems that there are no worries in life, except for the seal given by Luo Qiaoniang before her death.

At that time, he didn't react at all, and he was afraid that the guards on duty would find out that he had privately given and accepted items with the felon, so he hid this seal by mistake.

After taking it back, I took a closer look, although it was an agate texture, it was also worth some money, and the content of the seal was only Luo Qiaoniang's name, and there was nothing special. But after thinking about it, Luo Qiaoniang is a serious offender in the prison, and her body must have been searched many times, and the fact that she can hide it secretly shows that this seal is extremely important, and she must have a good intention to secretly give herself at such a big risk, but she has been thinking about it all the time.

It wasn't until that day that Mrs. Shen learned that 500,000 taels of silver were missing, and An Ying had an idea in her heart.

Could it be that Luo Qiaoniang secretly hid this silver, and this seal may hint at the whereabouts of the silver? But if he dared to go to the Criminal Department to confess the seal, then his relationship with the felons could not be explained clearly, especially when he ran for Luo Qiaoniang to investigate Zheng Ping, it was easy for people to doubt their motives.

After careful consideration, he decided to join the Criminal Department, and if he could take a look at the case file of the Gongcha case, he would be able to secretly investigate the relationship between 500,000 taels of silver and Luo Qiaoniang's seal.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I first entered the Criminal Department, I couldn't get in touch with the case, especially this kind of mega case. Waiting for the opportunity slowly, An Ying sighed and walked home.

scolded Luo Qiaoniang 10,000 times in her heart, and she was completely ruined by this small seal after a good life.
