51 The medicine box is revealed
In fact, there is no need for Bi Changxiao to open his mouth to drink, you must know that now this "King Heng died in Bifu" case, there is only a headless corpse left at the scene, and the relevant personnel who have handled the case in the past three months have searched all over the Guandi Temple in Shudi, and have never found the severed head of "King Heng". Now a middle-aged man in his thirties has rolled out of the medicine box of Ouyang Cha's master and apprentice, and everyone present can guess that this must be the head of the "Heng King" who has been looking for nothing without thinking!
When Xie Yixiang and Bingtai in the battle saw this scene, they also stopped their respective movements at the same time and looked at the head on the ground together. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but gasp, and in an instant, a thousand thoughts came to her heart, and her whole mind was already in chaos. Although she had only seen King Heng once or twice from a distance in the past, she had long remembered it very clearly, but looking at the appearance of this head at the moment, it seemed to be carved out of the same mold as the current emperor, and she was afraid that it was really the eleventh prince of that emperor, King Heng.
For a while, in the front hall of the entire Bifu, it could be said that there was silence, and no one dared to speak. After being silent like this for a long time, it was still General Song who took the lead in breaking the deadlock and asked slowly, "Mr. Ouyang, should you explain?"
Hearing this, everyone took their eyes off the heads of the people on the ground and looked at Ouyang Cha, the "Taishan Divine Doctor". That Ouyang Cha's face had already changed greatly, but he was still pretending to be calm, and when he heard General Song ask, he immediately took a deep breath and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Bingtai had already preemptively said: "This matter has nothing to do with my master, this head of King Heng is what I secretly hid in my master's medicine box." General Song ignored her and continued to say to Ouyang Cha: "Mr. Ouyang, it's a pity that there is no bronze mirror here, otherwise it will be so good for you to see your face at the moment, it must be very exciting." Could it be that Mr. Ouyang really intends to take your own beloved disciple as the culprit?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Cha was immediately deflated, shook his head and sighed: "Yes, this human head in the medicine box is indeed the head of King Heng. It was I who personally concocted King Heng's head out of lime and hid it in my medicine chest for three months. But it has nothing to do with my apprentices. β
Seeing that the master and apprentice were rushing to confess their sins, everyone was concerned about how King Heng's head would be in their hands. Nabi Changxiao had rushed to the front hall at this time, picked up the human head with both hands, blew off the lime on it and looked at it carefully, and after half a sound, he said in a deep voice again: "It's not wrong...... You can't go wrong...... This is the head of King Heng, the head of my good brother who grew up with me since childhood, there will be no fake ......" After that, he turned his head suddenly, stared at Ouyang Tea fiercely, and asked with a look of disbelief: "How did King Heng's head end up in your medicine box? Could it be that you instructed your apprentice to disguise himself as Guan Gong in the 'Fengwu Pavilion' that night, and then went to the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' to kill King Heng?"
Hearing Bi Changxiao's question, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the ice platform again, could it be that the mysterious woman Zhao Ruoregret saw in the "Fengwu Pavilion" that night was actually this "Heavenly Needle Lock" Ice Platform? Xie Yixiang even sighed secretly, he had just started with this ice platform, although the other party's martial arts were not weak, but they were still inferior to themselves, and it was impossible for him to escape in front of Zhao Ruocheng, the master of the Emei Sword Sect's "Nian" character, and it would never be Guan Gong who committed murder that night.
However, the most infuriating thing is that the reason why he wanted to sword out to Bingtai was originally to lead his senior brother to appear first, but unexpectedly, the ghost caused the head of this "Heng King" to appear. In this way, since the deceased has been found, and Bi Changxiao, the owner of Bi Mansion, has personally determined that this is the head of King Heng, then the case can no longer be bluffed, and a result must be found out in the end.
But once the core strategy of "proving that the deceased is not King Heng, so as to exonerate the Bi family", in the face of the intricate Guan Gong apparition murder case in Bifu, Xie Yixiang's head suddenly turned into a mess, and everything in the meantime can be described as a thousand things, as if it was a mess that couldn't find the thread, and he didn't know where to start, let alone what he should do in the future.
That Ouyang Cha had already opened his mouth to explain at this time: "Don't misunderstand, I am not the murderer of King Heng, and the Fu steward who was drinking tea with me that night can testify to this." As for the little apprentice Bingtai, with her little ability, it is impossible for her to be the mysterious woman who disguises herself as Guan Gong, and it has nothing to do with this murder in Bifu, and I can even vouch for her with my life. As for the head of the kingβ"
Speaking of this, he immediately looked around at everyone present, and then said in a deep voice: "This head of King Heng has actually been placed in front of the statue of Guan Gong in the front yard on the night of the murder. The murderer did not intend to make a false deception at all, but wanted to demonstrate to us in the name of Guan Gong's apparition. I am an old friend of General Bi, and I know very well how serious the consequences of King Heng's murder in Bifu are, so when I saw this head in front of the statue of Guan Gong, I didn't care about it, so I quickly hid the head and cleaned up the blood stains on the ground nearby. Afterwards, I concocted this human head with potion and lime, and after thinking about it, I took the human head out of the house, so that the head of the king of Heng will be preserved intact to this day. β
Hearing Ouyang Cha's explanation, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and always felt that his words were a little untrue. General Song said again: "Mr. Ouyang, your kindness at this time has hurt us. In the past three months, the soldiers under my command have searched all the large and small Guandi temples in Shudi, but they have never found the lost head of King Heng, but it turns out to be far away and close in front of him. Dare to ask Mr. Ouyang, do you know what the crime of secretly hiding the head of the deceased is?" Ouyang Cha smiled faintly and said: "I am a person in the rivers and lakes, and I have always dared to act bravely. Now that it has been smashed on the spot, I don't bother to hide it. If you want to catch and kill, listen to it. β
Although Xie Yixiang had no clue at this time, she still heard the flaw in Ouyang Cha's words, and immediately interjected and asked: "In this way, Mr. Ouyang must have known King Heng before?" Ouyang Cha glanced at her and sneered: "What if you have seen it, what if you haven't seen it?"
Xie Yixiang said slowly: "That night, King Heng came to visit, it was a secret of the Bi Mansion, except for the Fu Steward and Zheng Guogong who received him, and maybe there was also the Duchess Zheng Guo, I am afraid that no one in the entire Bi Mansion will know about King Heng's visit, even Miss Bi Er and Bi San Gongzi don't know anything. So if Mr. Ouyang didn't know King Heng, how could he recognize the head placed in front of the statue of Guan Gong at a glance, which was the head of King Heng?"
Ouyang Cha was slightly stunned, and said: "I'm just a grass people, where do I know what King Heng is?" It was only after the murder that night that I heard the people in Bifu say that it was the emperor's eleventh prince Hengwang who was killed, and then I knew that Bifu was in big trouble. After that, I found this human head in front of the statue of Guan Gong, and I didn't think much about it to know that it must be the head of King Heng. β
Xie Yixiang sneered: "Listening to what Master Chang just said, after the murder in the 'Longyin Pavilion' happened that night, Zheng Guogong and Steward Fu had already put the entire Bifu under martial law, not only sent his subordinates to search everywhere, but also summoned all the guests outside the 'Longyin Pavilion', how could Mr. Ouyang have the opportunity to come to the statue of Guan Gong in the front yard alone, and also to be the first to find the head of King Heng in front of the people of Bifu?" Even if what Mr. Ouyang said is true, you found the human head in front of the statue of Guan Gong alone after the crime, but there are more men in their thirties in the world, since you don't know King Heng, how can you be sure that this head must be King Heng's head, so you have collected it to this day? Could it be that in the past three months, you have never found anyone to confirm the authenticity of this King Heng's head?"
Xie Yixiang's series of questions suddenly made Ouyang Cha speechless. After a while, he replied, "I'm telling the truth, even if you take me back to the torture chamber and put me in a heavy sentence, I will say the same thing." If I change my words later, unless I write my name upside down!"
Xie Yixiang had already spied on his weakness, and immediately showed no weakness, and said to each other: "Mr. Ouyang, Senior Zhao of the Emei Sword Sect saw with his own eyes that night that the murderer was a woman who made up as Guan Gong in the 'Fengwu Pavilion'. Now that the deceased's head has been found in your medicine box, we can certainly suspect that this female apprentice of yours is the murderer. So even if I have to get a heavy sentence, the first person I want to try is this Bingtai girl. β
Hearing this, Ouyang Cha immediately became angry and shouted, "You dare!" The Bingtai was also flushed with anger, stepped forward suddenly, and shouted coldly: "Xie Yixiang, if you have any means, just use it against me, Hugh has to be rude to my master!"
Seeing that the two sides were tense, I was afraid that the two women would fight again in an instant, and suddenly heard an old voice sigh and said slowly: "Miss Xie San, don't misunderstand, Mr. Ouyang's master and apprentice have nothing to do with this case, but have brought people to suffer." It was the villain who was confused for a while, in order to protect the Bi family, so Mr. Ouyang helped hide the head of King Heng. β
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they all turned their heads to look, and it was Bi Wufu, the housekeeper in Bi Fuli, who was known as "Fu Butler".
