Chapter 42: The Source of Sin
When everyone reacted, half of Hong's life was about to be folded in the hands of Dr. Chen, Murong Zhao and Master Murong struggled to pull the crazy Dr. Chen away, Murong Tian cried and shouted and pounced on Hong, but seeing that Dr. Chen still wanted to kick and beat Hong, Murong Ge said: "What the hell is going on?!"
"Years ago, this mother-in-law told me that it was the elder Ge who killed Yingying! I am talented, and I will take revenge!" Doctor Chen knelt down with regret, wiped his tears and pointed at the Hong family who was pinched by Murong Tian, and scolded and said, "I should have thought that it would be impossible to tell the truth about the harsh treatment of Da Shao and the second young lady, but I was so confused that I actually believed in her evil!"
Master Murong's hand supporting the Hong family trembled several times, "No, it's impossible, how could Hong Niang be so vicious and murder her father!"
The Hong family had already shown signs of awakening, and Murong Tian also retorted hatefully, "How can my mother poison grandpa, you don't want to be nonsense-"
"What kind of thing are you yourself, just a little poisonous woman born to a poisonous woman, when you and Murong Sa murdered the second miss, you didn't have this face, how could your mother commit murder, and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance!" Doctor Chen interrupted Murong Tian disdainfully: "The poisonous mushroom in the second miss's lunch today is not the ghost you and Murong Sa, if I didn't want to harm innocent people, I have been secretly replacing the poisonous mushroom with a wild mushroom that will only make you uncomfortable after taking it, and the second miss would have been poisoned by you a long time ago!"
"You, you-" Master Murong looked at his favorite daughter Murong Tian in disbelief, and then looked at the figure of Murong Sa, the son he had always loved the most, and shouted angrily: "Murong Sa! Where is the other person!!"
Hong Shi didn't know where to get the perseverance, struggled to get up, pointed to Dr. Chen's nose and said, "Bastard, don't you spew blood anymore, just frame me, and even slander my children, did you take anyone's money, save evil intentions and deliberately slander the three of us!!" When she said this, she looked at Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang intentionally or unintentionally, and pounded the floor with a handful of snot and tears, "Okay, I worked hard for this family, and in the end I was accused by an outsider, I don't live anymore, I-"
Doctor Chen looked at her and interrupted with a sneer, "At the beginning, you were afraid that others would find out that you had bad intentions, and asked me to pick some medicine that could not be found.
Hong's words were suffocated, Master Murong's face was as black as ink, the hand supporting her was completely released, and he looked at his wife who wanted to explain expressionlessly, "King Ye and Liu Inspection, one is the master of the six doors, and the other is the inspection of the six doors, do you want me to hand over this case to them for thorough investigation, or do you recruit it myself?!"
"If Master Murong asks, this king will work tirelessly to find out. Yuwen Qiu's page is timely and understated.
Hong's heart trembled like never before, but in front of everyone's eyes, this crime of murdering the family must not be admitted, otherwise it will be doomed, she cried to Master Murong and said, "I have been married to you for many years, but you don't believe me! I haven't done it, he wronged me!"
She pointed at Dr. Chen again and asked heartbreakingly, "I ask myself, I have always treated you well, why do you want to harm me so much! What am I sorry for you, you, you want to put me to death like this! And dragged my children into the water, we died, are you happy! I know that you have always looked at me as a step-family unpleasantly!"
The latter words were almost said to Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang, but neither Murong Zhao nor Murong Jiang said half a word throughout the whole process, only Murong Tian was cooperating with the Hong family crying and shouting, accusing Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang of not being the one who was wrong, the people around looked at each other, only to feel that the acting skills of their mother and daughter were really embarrassing, and finally Murong Ge Lao couldn't help but speak:
"Since the Hong family swore that he had not done it, and Tian'er also denied Dr. Chen's accusations, then this case will be handed over to the six doors to deal with with it with full authority! Any place in the valley where idle people are prohibited from entering and leaving on weekdays, King Ye and Liu Jian have the right to enter and exit the inspection, if anyone dares not to cooperate, they will be dealt with as an accomplice, and after the real murderer is caught, the case can be handled by law!"
"Ling Chi who should be choked, who should be beheaded, who should be exiled!" Murong Ge Lao looked at the Hong family and Murong Tian who were suffocated and their faces turned pale, and then looked at Master Murong who was silent, "What do you think?"
Master Murong closed his eyes sadly, "The son listens to his father." "He has done a lot of foolish things, unconditionally favoring Murong Tian and Murong Sa, even if they are a little mean to Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang on weekdays, he can't see it himself, and Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang have always been cherished by Murong Ge Lao, so he let the Hong family bully them, but if it really involves poisoning, he can't treat it as if there is no such thing.
Elder Murong Ge turned to look at Yuwen Qiu Page and said, "Then-" As soon as his words began, the Hong clan knelt down with a puff.
"It's me, it's me, it's all me! It's not about Tian'er and Sa'er, it's all my fault!" she cried and said, "I instigated Dr. Chen to poison my father first, and I didn't want to kill her on your birthday, Murong Jiang stole the limelight from Tian'er, so I found poisonous mushrooms and mixed them in her food, but the amount of poison was very small, and it only made her sleep for a few days, I, I didn't think about killing her-"
Hong Shi cried and changed his words, "But you can't blame me entirely, if you don't want to go back to Beijing anyway, as a daughter-in-law, you won't, and you won't have bad intentions to harm you! You only love Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang, and you also teach Murong Jiang to hide his piano skills, just waiting to embarrass me and Tian'er today, woo woo woo woo, I, I'm forced to do it! Xianggong you, believe me!"
She hugged Master Murong's thighs and said aggrievedly, "I just want you to have a good development when you return to Beijing, and I never thought about killing anyone-"
"You usually join forces with Tian'er Sa'er to treat Zhao'er and Jiang'er harshly, I don't blame you for half a sentence, but you actually taught them to plan such a terrible thing, do you know that you want to poison, one is the father who gave birth to me, raised me, and taught me!The other is my own daughter!" Murong Yezi shook her off vigorously, and said hatefully, "Hong, how can you be so femme fatale, I have already given you the best of the best, why are you not so satisfied that you want to take the lives of your father and Jiang'er!!"
"No! it's not like that! Dad, don't blame your mother! your mother is just thinking about me and my brother-" Murong Tian also knelt down, begging with tears streaming down his face, "If you want to blame your daughter, it's your daughter who always complains that she is not good enough and fails to win glory for her mother and father, so her mother will take such a risk-"
"Shut up for me!" Master Murong couldn't bear to see his beloved daughter crying bitterly, so he turned his face and reprimanded, "Come on, escort the third lady back to the Splendid Courtyard, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard door half a step without my order, and by the way, send someone to find Si Shao, and tell him to come here immediately!!"
A few maids dragged Murong Tian, who was crying more and more, away, Liu Ya looked at it again, the matter had come to this, King Qing and Hong Chenrui, Fan Datong and Murong Fu were still nowhere to be seen, although King Qing and Hong Chenrui were indeed so drunk that they were helped back by someone during the banquet, but with such a big battle and noise, how could the maids find a way to wake them up and take a look, right?
Just as I was wondering, I heard a female voice crying in horror!
Everyone then rushed to the source of the sound, and saw that in a small courtyard where no one lived, the half-naked King Qing was lying on the bed silently, and Murong Fu was embarrassed to hold the quilt and sit next to him crying.
Liu Ya was really stunned by the good drama of this scene after scene, if it weren't for Murong Zhao's intention to pull her to save people, and the crisp sound of Yuwen Qiu's page opening his hand snapped, pulling her back to her senses, she couldn't think of the work of saving people, and couldn't bear the smell of fierce love that had not yet dissipated, and made people frown, leaned over to treat Murong Fu, and took King Qing's pulse by the way, she said:
"Drugged. "If it weren't for that, King Xiangqing would not have been entangled with Murong Yun at such a time and on such an occasion.
Liu Ya took out a small bottle from the medicine box, poured out two pills the size of a fingernail, stuffed one for each of them, and ordered: "You can order a guard or a maid to send them back to the dormitory to rest first, and now it's not too late for them to wake up and make it clear." ”
Master Murong couldn't react for a long time, so Murong Zhao had to order the guards and maids to send King Qing and Murong Yun back respectively, staring at the indescribable spots on the bed, he said sincerely, "It's too tiring to test Liu tonight." ”
"Diagnosis and treatment and testing outside the scope of duties need to be paid, what are you polite?" Liu Ya said with a smile.
"It should be—" The problems that money can solve now are really not problems!
**
In the middle of the night, Liu Ya finally relaxed her nerves and fell asleep, but when she fell asleep, she felt something sharp staring at her, and suddenly woke up, and saw a touch of dark silver standing silently beside her bed, although she didn't notice the slightest hostility, she still sat up vigilantly, "King Qing broke into my boudoir of a girl who has not yet left the pavilion at night, what do you want?"
King Qing stared at Liu Ya's neck, and slowly moved to her face, "What kind of medicine was this king given?" He has always been careful, especially the things in his mouth, even if he is a little drunk, he still remembers that he only drank a bowl of decanting soup without any abnormality, and fell asleep, and only felt inappropriate when he fell asleep, but at that time he was already controlled by the drug, and he couldn't refuse the Chenghuan of the woman who didn't know where he came.
Liu Ya thought that he must be crazy, and ran to her in the middle of the night to ask her this rotten question that no longer needs to be anxious, but still replied: "Several spices that are common in the Western Regions, they are smoked in the bed where you sleep." At the time, the smell of the love was strong enough to mask the spices, but she still smelled it keenly.
Half-silent, King Qing said, "Do you hate this king?"
Liu Ya felt that he must be crazy, and asked her such an inexplicable rotten question in the middle of the night, and said, "I hate it." ”
"I think so. King Qing's thin lips raised a cold and self-deprecating arc, turned around and flashed away.
Towards dawn, Liu Ya fell asleep from the strange incident of King Qing's night, but before he could sleep for three or four hours, he was woken up by the sound of Lychee's hurried knocking on the door and panicked calls.
"Something's wrong! Liu Inspection, four young him, he's dead!"
“......”
Liu Ya washed her face and followed the lychee to the Qixing Lake where the crime occurred, the Hong family was holding Murong Tian and crying to death, Murong Jiang and Murong Yun were also quietly wiping their tears on the side, and Murong Yezi's face was so solemn that he blackened, and he was tense and endured.
Now under the command of Yuwen Qiuye, Murong Sa has been fished up from the lake by the guards and put aside, and the suspicious area around him has also been blocked, "Ya'er." At this moment, he was squatting by the lake, bending his eyes and beckoning to her like a beckoning cat.
Liu Ya rolled her eyes, and saw Hu Qingqing and Ming Geng, Zhang Yigeng, who came before her, and Ji Huansheng all looked at her neck 'strangely', so she remembered what was there, and also understood why the 'smile' in Yuwen Qiu's eyes couldn't be stopped, but now if she covers it again, it will really become a joke, "......"
After thinking about it, it seemed that everything she said would inevitably attract suspicion (yes or no), so she calmly crossed over to them, and did not walk towards Yuwen Qiupage, but put on gloves to inspect Murong Sa's slightly swollen corpse, and then said solemnly, "There are no traces of a fight on the deceased's body, there are foam and pale blood stains in the mouth and nose, mud on the nails, belly distension and lapping sound, drowning is undoubted." ”
Hong, who was crying to death, exploded when he heard the words, "You fart! Will you perform an autopsy? My son is very water-based! How could he be drowned!!"
"Hugh is rude!" Master Murong interrupted her nonsense tiredly, "Liu Jian won't do an autopsy, is it possible that you will?"
Liu Ya swept the heart-rending Hong clan lightly, and said to Master Murong, "No matter how detailed it is, we will only know after the re-examination." She then walked towards Yuwen Qiupage, who was still waving, and he pointed to a few footprints of varying sizes visible to the naked eye, and a wine bottle, and the smell of wine in the soil that had not yet dissipated.
"It's the kind of aged locust we drank last night, and I asked Zhao that this wine and bottle are common in their cellars. Yuwen Qiu said, "Only the number under the bottom of the bottle is not known to him, just now he has asked him to go to the wine cellar to ask clearly, and he recognizes that the shoe print of this pattern is Hong Chenrui's, and the rest of this is not clear for the time being." ”
Hong Chenrui is Hong's nephew, and his relationship with Murong Sa is also very close on weekdays, when the fire broke out last night, listening to the maid's report, he was so drunk that he couldn't get up, but no one forced him to watch the 'lively', Yuwen Qiuye added, "I have told the maid to call him over." ”
Qixing Lake is located in the extreme remoteness, usually only at the beginning of each month will have a maid to come to clean, usually there will be no one, it is also a good place to talk about things or do bad things, willow buds swept the situation around the lake, saw a nearby place, the weeds that have just grown up have traces of trampling, so they leaned over to see, how accidentally slipped by the wet soil, the whole person fell towards the lake!
"Ya'er!!" Yuwen Qiuye immediately grabbed her hand, and when he wanted to stabilize it, he actually pulled the wound on his chest, and suddenly fell into the lake with her, and when he hugged her tightly and wanted to jump ashore immediately, he felt that Yu Guang was shaken by something, but he didn't look at it, and only firmly hugged Liu Ya and flew ashore.
"Are you all right?!" Murong Jiang couldn't help but cross the blockade area, ran in, and handed out two handkerchiefs.
The lake water in the morning was very cold, and as soon as the wind blew, Liu Ya sneezed three times in a row, and before she could say anything, she saw Yuwen Qiuye take Murong Jiang's handkerchief and thank her and wipe the splash on her face, when she wanted to grab the handkerchief from his hand and wipe her neck herself, she felt that something was draped on her shoulders, and turned her head to a pair of eyes that seemed to be made of ice carving, but were set off by tear moles, like eyes with veins and affection.
The atmosphere of "......" seemed to condense strangely, and under everyone's eyes, Liu Ya still smiled, "Thank you, King Qing." As he spoke, he calmly took off his clothes, and then lifted his feet and draped them on Yuwen Qiuye with difficulty, "I'll go back and change my clothes." After finishing speaking, he turned around in a dashing manner, leaving behind the eyes of the crowd of 'cranky' to the extreme.
After she finished changing her clothes and wore her long hair that was only half-dry, Yuwen Qiuye was already standing under the corridor outside the door refreshed, and there was Ming Gengxiu who came at an unknown time and was still panting, he said with a serious face, "Hong Shizi is also dead!"
So, Liu Ya went to the room where Hong Chenrui was, and Hong cried even more, and kept saying, "Why did you do this to me? Why did you take away my son and call me no nephew! Why is God so cruel! I didn't really hurt anyone, if there is retribution, it will be repaid on me!"
Liu Ya crossed the blockade area, temporarily acting as a catcher, and Murong Zhao, who was the first person to find the corpse, pointed to the doorway, "The door is locked, the maid and the guards called and called him, but he didn't answer, come to report to me, I kicked it open after I came, and when I entered it, I found that he was poisoned and died, and the window was closed well." ”
"Secret room?" Yu Wenqiu hooked his lips and took the lead in the wing room with great interest.
As soon as Liu Ya stepped into the wing room and approached the bed, he smelled a shallow sweet smell, and before he looked at Hong Chenrui on the bed, Yuwen Qiuye suddenly dragged her behind him, and before he blurted out his doubts, he saw that he actually pulled out a small poisonous snake from under the quilt inside, "!"
Murong Zhao, who came in later, was also surprised, in order to maintain the integrity of the crime scene, he just glanced at Hong Chenrui slightly, but he didn't expect that there was a small poisonous snake under the quilt, "Was Hong Shizi bitten by it?"
"This needs to be tested before it can be determined. Yuwen Qiuye handed over the poisonous snake to Murong Zhao to dispose of, pulled Liu Ya to the door, and checked every corner by himself to ensure that there would be no more danger, before calling Liu Ya to come in for an autopsy, looking at her serious to almost divine appearance, a smile unconsciously overflowed from the bottom of her eyes.
As soon as Murong Zhao came back, he heard Liu Ya say, "There are no traces of a fight on his body, the snake bite wound is on his wrist, and he died last night." She picked up the quilt and sniffed it, "Do you still like to smoke the quilt with wild fruits like lamps and strawberries?"
"No, especially the bedding in the guest rooms, there is usually no incense for convenience, not to mention the smell of wild fruits. Murong Zhao also leaned over and sniffed hard, and there was really a sweet smell, "Is it a snake with this smell?"
"I can only say that the snake likes this smell very much. Liu Ya said and saw the quilt that was inadvertently turned over by Murong Zhao, revealing a dull one, grabbed it and smelled it, there was no suspicious smell, and took off her gloves and touched it, "Why is it wet here." She looked carefully at the bed, and saw a dull mark on the inside.
"We do have snakes, insects, rats and ants here, but there are strict rules that stipulate regular spraying to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants, and there have been examples of maids finding snakes and insects in their own bunks in the past, but they are not terrible poisonous snakes, and after that time, we pay more attention to repellent snakes, insects, rats and ants, even if they do not live in the courtyard, they will send maids to sprinkle medicine. Murong Zhao said:
"Because the birthday banquet is to entertain guests, I also specially instructed the maids who are waiting on the left and right to pay more attention to the cleaning of the guest rooms. ”
"This one of them all looks like an accident. Liu Ya stared at the Yuwen Qiu page that searched the entire wing.
"I didn't find any suspicious signs, the doors and windows were locked before you kicked them open and broke in." Even under the bed, under the table, at the bottom of the cabinet, all the places that are not usually noticed, he looked through it, and it can be seen that the murderer's heart is as fine as dust.
If she didn't dissect, she couldn't come to any other conclusions, Liu Ya looked at Murong Zhao and said, "Is your grandfather okay with his old man?" On the night of their birthday, the Hong family and Murong Fu hadn't had time to digest it, and today there were two more murder cases, and those who had little heart and blood were so angry that they stretched out their feet.
"I'll keep it a secret from my grandfather for the time being. "Thinking of Old Murong Ge, Murong Zhao was also full of pain, it was a good birthday, how could there be so many things," he was so seriously injured, he really couldn't bear to make him sad anymore. ”
Liu Ya handed him the small yellow porcelain vase, "Heart Pill, the market price is one hundred taels, why don't you be cheaper than fifty taels of gold." ”
Murong Zhao took it and opened it, there was only a small yellow pill the size of a half fingernail in it, but the fragrant fragrance was inexplicably relieving, and he was still very convinced of her medical skills, so he gritted his teeth and bought it, "Liu Jian, you tell me the truth, what is my grandfather's body now?"
"When Dr. Chen misunderstood Murong Ge's daughter, he wanted to destroy the 'source of evil' to torture Murong Ge first, and also comfort his daughter's spirit in the sky, so the main damage was about that aspect. Liu Ya blinked sincerely, "Do you know what it is, do you need me to be more 'detailed'?"
“......”
