bastard returns

The sound of breathing, the servants didn't even dare to breathe out, they just looked at Ning Ruhai's oppressed face like a dark cloud.

With lingering fears in her heart, she was supported by Mother Luo, looked at an old man in green robe who was bending over to inspect the crystal taro ball, and asked, "Doctor Zheng, what did you find out?"

The old man in Qingpao is a famous doctor in Jiangzhou City. His surname is Zheng. The Shen family always invites him to come to the mansion for treatment when he has minor ailments and pains. Dr. Zheng was invited over.

"The sugar velvet on this taro ball has been mixed with arsenic." Dr. Zheng wiped his hands with a piece of white cloth, and said something that shocked everyone.

"It's actually arsenic?" Shen Shi trembled all over, and asked incredulously.

"Madam, Mr. Zheng has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, and you can still tell a little bit of arsenic." Dr. Zheng stroked the beard on his chin.

It was a peaceful New Year's Eve dinner, but arsenic came out of the food, and the old lady almost ate it. Ning Ruhai's temper, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally broke out. He slapped the mahogany table with an inch straight Xu Shen's palm print, "What's going on, how did this dirty thing get into the diet, could it be that someone is going to murder the old lady!"

It was rare for Ning Ruhai to lose his temper like this, and following his roar, many eyes fell on Ning Ping'er who brought out the plate of taro balls.

"Master, I don't think there is any need to investigate the concubine." Zhuang said gloatingly, "The origin of this taro ball is clear, it was presented to the old lady by Miss Ping'er herself, who is trying to harm the old lady? Isn't it obvious?"

"Aunt Zhuang, don't be so bloody!" Before Ning Ping'er could speak, Ning Xiang jumped out first, "My younger sister has always respected her grandmother the most, why would she murder the old lady!"

Mrs. Zhuang covered her mouth and smiled, "That's not certain. The so-called needle in the bottom of the heart, if it's not guaranteed, someone has eaten the heart of a bear." After she finished speaking, she turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Mrs. Liu with inexplicable meaning.

Liu Shi always had an expression of surprise and uncertainty on her face, but when she was ridiculed by Zhuang Shi, she didn't reply for the first time, but stared straight at Ning Ping'er's back.She was also at a loss when the incident happened suddenly, but for some reason, she always felt that this incident had something to do with her pair of children.

"Ping'er, there is arsenic in this ball, do you know it!" Ning Ruhai came to his senses after being reminded by Mrs. Zhuang. No matter what, this taro ball was indeed brought out by Ning Ping'er, and it was bound to be the first one. Check it out from her.

"Father, daughter, daughter doesn't know!" Ning Ping'er knelt down in a daze, her little face paled for a while, as if she was terrified, and her body was trembling slightly, "My daughter doesn't know that there is arsenic in this ball. If it wasn't for the sudden thought of dedicating this dumpling to grandma, my daughter would have eaten it by herself, if that's the case, wouldn't her daughter have died in Huangquan!" Ning Ping'er's eyes were already streaming down as she spoke. Two lines of tears, "Father, it is the grandmother who is protecting the granddaughter, so that the granddaughter can escape!"

"Master, if it is said that Ping'er is going to murder the old lady, I think it is unreasonable. She has no reason to murder the old lady. Even if she really has such vicious intentions, it is impossible for her to be stupid enough to tell the old lady in full view. Poison." Yan Shi, who was sitting beside Ning Ruhai, thought for a moment, and said, "Besides, thanks to Xianger's quick discovery, the old lady did not swallow the poison. They are brothers and sisters."

Yan's meaning is obvious, there is no reason for Ning Pinger and Ning Xiang to save others while harming others, there must be another mystery here.

Ning Ruhai thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case. If it wasn't for Ning Pinger's poison, and what Ning Pinger said just now to distinguish himself, his eyes sank, and he uttered four words under his voice. : "Missed the passenger car?"

Yan nodded, "I think so too, I'm afraid that the person who poisoned him is not the old lady, but Ping'er."

As soon as the two finished talking, they both looked at Ning Xiang'er, because Ning Ping'er said before that Ning Xiang'er gave her the ball.

Sensing Ning Ruhai's scrutinizing gaze, Ning Xiang'er knelt down on the ground with a thud, and cried, "Father and Mother Mingjian, I have been close to Sister Ping'er since childhood, how could I poison her!"

Ning Ping'er also reached out to help Ning Xiang'er, "Sister, what are you talking about? My sister treats me so well. Of course, my sister knows that the person who poisoned me can't be my sister. It's just that my sister is usually stupid and doesn't even offend anyone." I know, but my sister will be hurt instead, and my sister will die and I cannot escape the blame." After saying that, he also howled along with Ning Xiang'er.

"That's enough, the matter has not yet come to light, you are crying in such a hurry, I am a fool when I am a father!" The two girls howled non-stop, making Ning Ruhai upset.

"Father, there may be a way, my son." Ning Xiang cupped his hands to Ning Ruhai, "Actually, it's not difficult to find out the truth. The poison in the ball is always artificially inserted. If you want to trace the source, you only need to investigate Just find out who has access to these dumplings."

Ning Ruhai nodded, "This is also a way." He asked Ning Ping'er, "After the ball was delivered to you, has anyone else touched it?"

"No one has ever touched it." Ning Ping'er sobbed, "After Sister Xiang'er brought the Yuanzi, I kept it on the small table in the bedroom, not even a maid in the room."

"Then what about you?" Ning Ruhai looked at Ning Xiang'er again, "Aside from you, is there anyone else who has touched these dumplings?"

Ning Xiang'er pretended to lower her head and thought for a while, then said intermittently: "I made this ball myself in the small kitchen, after making it, I put it in the food box and went out without taking it out... Oh, that's right! "Ning Xiang'er suddenly screamed, as if remembering something, she turned her head and looked in Ning Yuan's direction.

"What's the matter, but what did you remember?" Ning Xiang regained his energy.

"Actually, the ball was taken out once in the middle, it was, it was..." Ning Xiang'er's tone suddenly hesitated, as if she was not sure, but she didn't say anything wrong, and said after a long while: "It was in the bamboo Xuantang of the third brother, When I went to deliver Yuanzi to my third brother, there was only the last one left in the food box for Sister Ping’er. Thinking that Sister Ping’er likes to eat hot soft Yuanzi, I borrowed the third brother’s small kitchen to make Yuanzi. I steamed it..." At this point, she shook her head and said, "But I believe that the third brother would not do such a thing, I should be overthinking, and the two girls who are close to me personally steamed the dumplings."

"Sister Xiang'er, you have made a mistake. The matter we are investigating now is not trivial. If you are not careless, you might as well ask those two girls who are hot and round to ask. If the matter is really related to San The younger brother has nothing to do with it, so he naturally doesn't have to bear the responsibility, don't you think the third brother?" Ning Xiang looked at Ning Yuan and said this inexplicably.

Ning Yuan just laughed and didn't strike up a conversation.

Those two maids were quickly called, one named Shanhu and the other named Huamei, they were both Ning Xiang'er's personal maids, and they also followed Ning Xiang'er in the afternoon to deliver rounds, as soon as the two knelt down, they Kowtowing to Ning Xiang'er in unison: "Miss, forgive me, miss, the servants thought that Yuanzi should be fine in the steamer, but also disliked the smell of smoke in the kitchen, so they got lazy and didn't stay by the side, please punish me! "

"What!" Ning Xiang'er's face changed drastically, and she slapped her across the face after a few slaps, "Damn girl, you actually walk away and dodge when you have such important things to look at. What serious consequences did it lead to! What if the old lady ate the ball just now!" After speaking, he slapped the two servant girls' cheeks again.

Ning Yuan said in a cold voice: "Sister Xiang'er, after listening to your words, it seems that you have decided that Yuanzi made a problem in my small kitchen. I can't bear the crime of third brother."

"Uh... I didn't..." Hearing Ning Yuan's abrupt question, Ning Xiang'er froze, as if she didn't know how to answer.

"Third Brother, Sister Xiang'er is in a hurry, and sometimes she speaks improperly. Why do you have to jump around in such a hurry, as if making you feel guilty." The two maids, who were flushed and sobbing softly, said, "Remember, even if you didn't always watch over Yuanzi, have you ever encountered anything suspicious before and after?"

"Responding to the second young master's words, there is something strange." Shan Shan, who was kneeling on the right, said, "Although we didn't guard all the time, we were not far from the small kitchen. We could vaguely see a girl running out of the small kitchen, but That girl moved quickly, but she didn't see what she looked like."

Ning Xiang nodded, "That's it. Since someone is going to poison you while you are negligent, it is natural to provoke someone who is smart and quick to do it. How can you see the appearance clearly." Having said that, he turned and looked at Ning Yuan said righteously, "Third brother, I never thought you would be so vicious, and Ping'er didn't know when he offended you, so you will kill him next time!"

As soon as Ning Xiang's voice fell, Ning Ping'er followed Xuan Ran and said, "Third brother, if my sister accidentally sins against you, you can just treat me as a young and ignorant sister, and just teach me a lesson. It's my elder brother, I will definitely listen to what you say, but why do you want to poison me, don't you have to taste the mistakes my sister made to make you reconciled!" After she finished speaking, her tears wanted to stop Like beads on a thread, it kept flowing, and I cried until my heart broke.

Ning Ping'er looked pretty, and crying like this made her look miserable and helpless, like a weak woman who was persecuted by her elder brother and couldn't protect herself.

Among the many children, Ning Ruhai has always loved Ning Xiang and Ning Ping'er more, but now seeing Ning Ping'er's wronged appearance, Ning Ruhai couldn't help but feel annoyed, and immediately shouted: "Ning Yuan, kneel down for your father! !"

His sound contained internal strength, and the room trembled slightly.

Jing Yi looked at Ning Yuan beside him, with worried eyes, he was just here for a meal, but he didn't want to see such a commotion.

But seeing that the situation was already very unfavorable to him, Ning Yuan was not in a hurry, stood up lightly, and asked Ning Ruhai, "Why do you kneel?"

"Nizi!" Seeing that Ning Yuan not only turned a blind eye to his own words, but also had a domineering attitude, thinking that he had contradicted himself like this in the study, Ning Ruhai burst into anger, pushed the table away with one hand, and pointed at Ning Yuan grabbed the front of his shirt, thinking that today he must punish this disobedient son, let him experience the majesty of his father!

Ning Ruhai's movements were not only quick, but even brought a gust of wind in his palm, which already entrained his internal strength.Seeing that the thick palm was about to fall on his chest, Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes suddenly, took a step back with his right foot, raised his hands to his chest, and clasped his palms together, looking like he was trying to resist Ning Ru The palm of the sea!

Ning Ruhai didn't dare to look at his eyes carefully, but in an instant, his broad palm collided with Ning Yuan's hands, and an invisible wave of air swung away around the two of them. Opening his eyes wide, he felt that the vigorous internal force that he had practiced for more than 20 years was being disintegrated layer by layer by a thin and long internal breath, which made him feel like he had been hit on a ball of cotton.

He has practiced martial arts for many years, and even the non-commissioned officers with small internal skills in the army are not his enemies, they will vomit blood and fly back after being beaten, and this thin and unattractive young man in front of him not only slaps him, Except that his face was a little pale, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the situation, and through the palm of his hand, he could feel that the thin and long inner breath did indeed come from Ning Yuan's body. This discovery shocked him even more. Ning Yuan, who is only 13 years old, possesses a profound internal strength comparable to five or six years of accumulation!

017 step by step

After receiving Ning Ruhai's palm, Ning Yuan's body was also uncomfortable. He had only just started to practice internal strength, so it couldn't compare to the deep internal strength that Ning Ruhai had soaked in for decades. The internal force entering his veins almost made him vomit blood. If it weren't for the big circle formed by the two meridians in his body disintegrating alternately in four or two strokes, he might have been chopped off by a palm.

Fortunately, he managed to carry it down, and taking advantage of Ning Ruhai's patronizing surprise, before he had time to react, he swung his palm away, pointed his right hand together to form a sword, and with a spiral of energy, he went straight to Ning Ruhai. Haimei nodded heartily.

"Rising Dragon Finger!?" After recognizing the move in Ning Yuan's hand, Ning Ruhai's heart immediately set off a huge wave.

This is clearly the secret martial art of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and non-family relatives are not allowed to learn it, how could Ning Yuan make it! ?

But the current situation does not allow him to think about it. The Dragon Finger is a royal secret, its power should not be underestimated, and it specializes in the eyebrows, even if he has a strong martial arts, he will capsize in the gutter if he is not careful, and quickly dodge Back off, three steps in a row.

Ning Yuan didn't intend to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Seeing that Ning Ruhai had retreated, he followed him and stood still, but his eyes were still fixed on his father in front of him, and there was no trace of timidity or unyielding in his eyes.

The two of them fought for only a moment just now, and their movements were so fast. In the eyes of the people around, it was just that Ning Ruhai wanted to grab Ning Yuan and make him kneel down, but for some reason, he took a few steps back instead.

"Where did you learn this move!" Ning Ruhai didn't care about losing his composure, and immediately shouted at Ning Yuan after standing still.

"Of course someone taught it." Ning Yuan flicked his sleeves, and in Ning Ruhai's eyes, Ning Yuan turned into an extremely proud and confident look.

No wonder, no wonder this son is so unkind to his father, and he still has friendship with Duke Jing's son. There is someone backing him behind the dare, and it is very likely that the backing behind him is related to the royal family!

Thinking of this level, no matter how angry Ning Ruhai felt, he still couldn't get it out.If Ning Yuan really has the royal family as the backing, he does have the capital to be confident, and his father really can't offend him.

"Third brother, you are so brave, you dare to fight with your father!" The surroundings were completely silent, Ning Xiang was the first to react, and shouted: "Come on quickly, and arrest this guy who disobeyed his father!"

"Shut up!" Ning Ruhai was furious, full of anger and had nowhere to put it, Ning Xiang unexpectedly jumped out to touch the bad head at this time, immediately waved his left hand, shook his sleeve in Ning Xiang's direction, and accumulated internal strength for a long time Suddenly, he knocked over the tables and chairs with a crash, throwing Ning Xiang into a big somersault.

Ning Xiang's left hand was already injured, and this fall made the pain worse. He lay on the ground and howled non-stop, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Ning Ruhai ignored him, and just looked at Ning Yuan fixedly, his face was cloudy and uncertain. He suddenly found that there were too many things about this son that he didn't expect, so he had to find a time to ask, but now There are too many people, but it is not a good time.

Mrs. Liu threw herself in front of Ning Xiang, and shouted to Ning Ruhai: "Master, Xiang'er did not inflict the poison, he is still injured, how could you do anything to him!" After speaking, he began to cry cry.

Liu Shi was just guessing at first, but seeing Ning Xiang and Ning Ping'er singing together along the way, she knew in her heart that this must be the result of their two brothers and sisters. The cover has been set, so they can only accompany them to perform, and it is even more suitable to get rid of Ning Yuan's thorn in the side.

Ning Ping'er also knelt down, but didn't speak, and only cried with Liu Shi. Ning Ruhai was annoyed by the constant babble, thinking that dealing with poisoning was the right thing to do now, even though she was afraid that there might be something behind Ning Yuan. However, due to his father's majesty, he still shouted: "Nizi, you not only poisoned people, but also didn't want to repent. You are too presumptuous!"

Ning Yuan smiled instead of anger, "Father only relied on a few words from these people, without even a single convincing evidence, so he insisted that I was the one who committed the poison. Why should I repent if I want to commit such a crime?" .”

"Third brother, do you still think it's useful to argue so far?" Ning Xiang got up from the ground with a pale face, supported by Mrs. Liu, and said bitterly: "The facts are so obvious now, you hate us The brothers and sisters lost face in front of their father and held a grudge because of Xia Zhu's matter. After hearing that the Yuanzi in Xiang'er's hand was for Ping'er, they secretly poisoned her while she was borrowing Yuanzi from the small kitchen. My sister died, but she was able to bring disaster to the east, and put this poisonous blame on Sister Xiang'er. It's a pity that you are not as good as the sky, and you can't count Ping'er, she didn't eat the dumplings at all, so your conspiracy was exposed , This is because your mind is vicious, even God can't see it!"

Ning Xiang's sentences were sonorous and resounding, and the words made people nod frequently.Indeed, if the poison was really given by Ning Yuan, it happened to be a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. If Ning Ping'er was poisoned to death, Ning Xiang'er could be framed by the way, and he would be able to leave it clean to the outside world. sinister.

Even Shen asked in amazement: "Yuan'er, did you really do it?"

Ning Yuan lifted his hem, and knelt down to Shen, "Grandmother, Yuan'er has already said, there is nothing wrong with committing a crime, Yuan'er didn't do it!"

Ning Xiang snorted coldly, "There is nothing wrong with such a person who wants to commit a crime. Don't pretend to be innocent in front of grandma. Grandma has high morals and can distinguish right from wrong. She will never be fooled by your clumsy acting skills, and she will not cover up villains. Is it possible? According to what you mean, it is our brothers and sisters who came together with Xianger to frame you? Third brother, you are so proud of yourself!"

Shen frowned, but said to Ning Ruhai: "Four children were involved in this matter, but now there are only two maids' testimony, and they are ambiguous. If there is no solid evidence, you still can't act hastily, you have to be careful." It’s better to check carefully.”

Ning Ruhai also nodded in agreement.He wanted to press Ning Yuan to plead guilty just now, firstly because he was partial to Ning Xiang and Ning Pinger, and secondly because he wanted to show Ning Yuan his father's majesty. There seemed to be someone behind him who made him be suspicious, and Shen Shi also opened his mouth and said: "It's really wrong to rely on only two girls, we need to investigate carefully."

Ning Xiang hurriedly said: "Father, it's actually not difficult to find evidence. Ning Yuan certainly didn't expect his plot to be revealed, and he didn't have time to deal with the dirty things in his hands. Why don't you go to the Zhuxuan Hall to search right now, I believe you will be able to find evidence." Find evidence."

"Yes, father, the small kitchen, you must go to the small kitchen in Zhuxuantang to check it out. Ning Yuan not only poisoned sister Ping'er, but also wanted to frame me. This kind of thinking is too vicious!" Ning Yuan Xiang'er followed suit and knelt down.

Although Ning Ping'er didn't speak, she only opened her big eyes that were swollen from crying. Shui Lingling looked at Ning Ruhai until his heart was shaken. Glancing at Ning Yuan, "You have objections."

"The innocence is clear by itself. If this is the only way to prove your innocence, then it's okay to investigate." Contrary to Ning Ruhai's expectations, Ning Yuan agreed with a low eyebrow.

The butler immediately led several servants out of the main hall and walked towards Zhuxuan Hall.When such a thing happened, the New Year’s Eve dinner would definitely not be finished, Yan Shi ordered the banquet to be withdrawn, and another round of tea was served, and everyone in the room brought tea and sat down, but there were not many people who actually drank tea. Most of them were waiting for the butler to come back with an expression of watching a show.

About two quarters of an hour later, the butler left and returned. He bowed to Ning Ruhai and Shen Shi who were seated above him, but before he could speak, Ning Xiang stopped him.

Ning Xiang took two steps forward, and said to Ning Yuan: "Third brother, if I were you, I would kneel down and plead guilty now, and beg my father to forgive me. Maybe my father will see that you are sincerely repentant and will not blame you. Otherwise, if you are a dead duck now, and when the witnesses and evidences are all there, you will not be so cheap if you want to ask for forgiveness. Poisoning the concubine sister, framing the concubine sister, and almost harming the grandmother, among them Any one of the crimes is enough to break your tendons and hamstrings, and you will be exiled for three thousand miles!"

Ning Yuan glanced at Ning Xiang, "Why do you look at the appearance of the second brother? Is it expected that evidence will be found? This ability of predicting the prophet, if you don't ask your father to recommend you to the Qin Tianjian after you are in high school this year, you will still be able to find it." Really buried you."

When Ning Yuan taunted him, Ning Xiang's face froze, and he said angrily, "Go ahead, let's see if you will laugh or cry!"

"That's enough, Xiang'er, step back!" Ning Ruhai said to Ning Xiang, and then said to the housekeeper, "But what did you find?"

The butler bowed, and took out a small bag wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve robe, "The slave sent people to search the entire Zhuxuan hall, and finally found this under the stove in the small kitchen, because I don't know what it is , and brought it."

"Show me!" Ning Xiang's eyes lit up, he took the thing from the housekeeper, opened it, and there was some white powder inside, he twisted a little and smelled it, and immediately shouted: "This is arsenic!"

"Second brother is really capable." Ning Yuan sneered, "I don't know when second brother is so proficient in pharmacology that he can smell colorless and odorless arsenic with his nose."

"puff!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Yi, who was holding the tea, couldn't hold it back. With a "puchi" laugh, he sprayed most of the tea on his front skirt, and hurriedly stood up and wiped it vigorously.

"You!" Ning Xiang's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Ning Ping'er quickly pulled out a silver hairpin inserted in the bun and inserted it into the powder.

But in an instant, the tip of the silver hairpin in contact with the powder turned pitch black under the eyes of everyone.

It is said that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, but now that the facts are in front of your eyes, the room is suddenly silent.

"Third brother, it really is you who want to kill me!" Ning Ping'er's fingers trembled, and the hairpin jingled to her feet, and she herself trembled like a leaf falling in the wind, kneeling on the ground and weeping, "Father, My daughter is so scared, so scared, father save me!"

"Third Brother, what else do you have to say!" Ning Xiang roared angrily, and turned to Ning Ruhai, "Father, now the evidence is convincing and the matter is clear. My younger brother has no way to deny it, and even his relatives will be harmed. How can a person like him, who is as vicious as a snake, continue to stay in the mansion? My father has always been fair and strict in dealing with affairs. The injustice of sister Xiang'er will be redressed!"

Ning Ruhai's face was ashen, the facts were in front of his eyes, he wanted to send Ning Yuan off on the spot, but thinking of Jing Yi still sitting there, and Ning Yuan's martial arts background, he was in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing that Ning Ruhai was still hesitating, Ning Ping'er cried louder and louder, and finally hugged Ning Xiang'er and wept loudly, even Liu Shi jumped out to join in the fun, throwing herself at Ning Ruhai's feet and howling Said: "Master, my concubine's life is so hard, and I can't take care of my two children, so I ask the master to show mercy and send our mother and daughter out of the mansion! Even wandering outside and suffering from the cold are better than staying in this big house. It's good to be assassinated and die without knowing why!"

Ning Ruhai's eyes twitched, and he finally seemed to have made up his mind. Even if Ning Yuan had someone to back him up, it doesn't matter. He is the head of the family. If he couldn't even punish a junior, why would he manage thousands of troops outside? When he came up, he immediately pointed to Ning Yuan and said, "Come on, arrest this evil son!"

This time he didn't do it himself, it was to save face for himself, if Ning Yuan resisted like he was just like before, it would be embarrassing in his capacity.But this time Ning Yuan strangely did not resist, but let others grab his arms as if resigned to his fate.

"I don't know how the father wants to deal with the child." Having been kidnapped, Ning Yuan still didn't panic, his expression didn't change at all, he just looked at Ning Ruhai.

Ning Ruhai hadn't spoken yet, but Ning Xiang, with a triumphant smile, said sternly: "You poisoned and harmed people, which is a capital crime, and the ones who murdered were relatives, and it was an even worse crime, and you tried to blame others. The crime cannot be pardoned, my father is wise, and will definitely be punished severely to rectify the family tradition!"

"Oh?" Ning Yuan turned his face sideways, "Then how should my father punish me according to the second brother?"

Ning Xiang was about to speak, but when he met Ning Yuan's eyes, he suddenly felt chills down his spine. Those eyes were so peaceful, and there was no panic and fear that ordinary people would have when encountering these things. Yuan's tone of voice to him was also calmer than his usual tone of greeting.

He must be pretending to be calm, he must be, but in fact, he was so scared that he peed his pants.Ning Xiang thought so, but also avoided Ning Yuan's gaze, and said harshly: "You have committed such an unspeakable crime, it is simply unbearable, according to the punishment law of the Great Zhou, you should be burned at the stake!"

It turned out that they wanted to burn him to death.

Ning Yuan suddenly couldn't help laughing. He died on the burning pillar in his previous life. He didn't expect that in the next life, there would be people who wanted to burn him to death. He asked himself that he had never done anything to harm others, but they kept pressing each other step by step. I can't wait to put myself to death. If it is not true that only if I die, can these people be happy?

His eyes slid over Ning Xiang's face, then Ning Ping'er and Liu Shi's, and the faces watching the excitement in the room, and finally settled on Ning Ruhai's face.

The reason why he has not refuted until now is that he wants to see if his biological father will really kill him.

"Since Xiang'er has said so, then let's do this." Ning Ruhai waved his hand, directly deciding Ning Yuan's fate.

So ruthless, there was not even a moment of hesitation and thinking.

The corners of Ning Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, it turned out that this was the answer, he understood.

"Grandmother." When several servants were about to drag him out, and when Ning Ping'er couldn't help but smile and began to wipe away the tears on her face, Ning Yuan suddenly looked at Shen and said, "Grandmother, grandson I have something to say."

018 Embedding flowers and trees

"Why, you were so stubborn just now, but now that you are about to die, do you want to beg for mercy?" Ning Xiang shouted: "Don't forget that you almost killed grandma, even if grandma is kind, she can't explain it to you, the scum of your family! "

Ning Yuan ignored him and just looked at Shen, "Grandmother, you are the most respected in this family, and your grandson also respects you the most. My grandson just wants to ask you, do you think it was my grandson who poisoned you?" ?”

Ning Yuan's expression was sincere, and her words were sincere, Shen couldn't help being moved, but although she was an old lady, Ning Ruhai was still the master of the family, so she could only shake her head and say, "Grandmother originally wanted to believe you, but now There are all witnesses and material evidence, so grandma can't help but not believe it."

"With grandmother's words, grandson will have no regrets even if he dies, but that is the physical evidence." Ning Yuan laughed twice, and suddenly said loudly: "Second brother doesn't understand medicine, and sister Ping'er only needs to use the silver hairpin to test it out. So they insisted with one voice that the medicine powder was arsenic, and my crime was confirmed. Now that I am going to die, let me die to understand that the person present is the most knowledgeable in medicine than Dr. Zheng, so I invite Dr. Zheng to come and test it. Is this bag of arsenic?"

Ning Yuan's voice was not loud, but what he said was reasonable, Shen nodded, and said to Dr. Zheng beside him: "Then I will have Dr. Zheng test it, so that we can all understand."

"Third brother, it's ridiculous that you refuse to plead guilty and struggle to die like this." Ning Xiang snorted softly, with a look of watching the excitement, he couldn't believe what Ning Yuan could find out at this last moment Feng Lang, he prepared the bag of arsenic by himself, and handed it to Ning Xiang'er, so that she could hide it in the kitchen of Zhuxuan Hall during the hot round, and now it was searched out as evidence as expected, even if Dr. Zheng went to Look, is it possible that you can still make mistakes with your old eyes?

After listening to Shen's words, Dr. Zheng stepped forward. He was cautious in medical practice and examined carefully. First, he took out a silver needle and smeared some white powder on it. Seeing that the silver needle turned black, he then took some powder and used it Holding it on oil paper, it was baked on a nearby charcoal basin. After a short while, the powder gave off a puff of green smoke and emitted bursts of pungent smell.

"The smell is so bad, what could be wrong? It must be arsenic. Doctor Zheng, be careful not to let your father, mother and grandmother be contaminated with poisonous gas." Ning Xiang covered his mouth and nose, and kept his sleeves in front of him. pose.

Doctor Zheng gave Ning Xiang a weird look, "Arsenic?" Then he smiled again, "The second young master should be young, and he has never seen arsenic, so it's not uncommon for him to be mistaken. Fortunately, I have tested it here today, otherwise I'm afraid three years later. The young master will be greatly wronged."

Dr. Zheng's words stunned everyone present, and Shen was the first to realize, "Doctor Zheng, what do you mean? This bag is not arsenic?"

"Of course not." Dr. Zheng stroked his long beard on his chin, held the smelling powder in his palm and said, "This is just realgar powder, which is very common in medicine shops."

"Impossible!" Ning Xiang whispered in disbelief, "That's obviously arsenic!" Just after he finished speaking, he may have also noticed the irrationality of his words, and quickly defended: "I mean, that thing is clearly arsenic!" It will turn the silver needles black, how could it not be a poison!"

"Second young master, it doesn't mean that the thing that can turn the silver needle black must be a poison. It doesn't make sense in terms of medicine." Dr. Zheng looked at Ning Xiang's eager face, thinking that he was asking for advice by himself, and said in a earnest way He said in a tone: "Regard powder and arsenic look very similar, but one is poisonous and the other is non-toxic. As for why realgar powder can turn silver needles black, it is because it contains sulfur, and silver needles will turn black when exposed to sulfur. Scatter these realgars and roast them on a charcoal stove, and the smell that comes out is the smell of sulfur."

"This...how is this possible...obviously..." Ning Xiang shuddered twice, and couldn't believe his ears at all. How could the arsenic turn into realgar powder inexplicably? Could it be that Ning Xiang'er had dropped him! ?

"Doctor Zheng, are you really not mistaken?" Ning Ping'er also stumbled up from the ground, she was no less surprised than Ning Xiang, "Could it be that your eyes are blurred, do you want to take a closer look?"

"Humph! I have practiced medicine for 30 years, even if my eyesight is blurry, how can I not be able to tell the difference with a little arsenic!" Seeing that his conclusion was questioned by a yellow-haired girl, Dr. Zheng lost his temper even though he was good-natured, and grabbed the remaining white Ning Pinger yelled at Ning Pinger: "Forget it, Miss, you can take a good look at it. I'll show you if it's arsenic!" Eyes, staring straight at Ning Ping'er with an ugly face.

"Ping'er, don't be rude to Dr. Zheng!" Seeing that something was wrong, Mrs. Liu quickly pulled Ning Ping'er behind her, and said to Dr. Zheng with a smiling face: "Young girl is not sensible, Mr. Zheng, don't talk to a child." care about."

"After a long time, it turned out that it wasn't arsenic?" Shen's eyes widened in surprise, and she immediately turned her head and shouted to the two servants who were still holding Ning Yuan: "You son of a bitch, let the third young master go!"

The two servants hurriedly let go of Ning Yuan's hand obediently, and Ning Yuan flicked his sleeves, and bowed to Shen, "Grandson thanked grandmother for his mercy. Now that Dr. Zheng has something to say, the grandson's body can be clearly understood." gone."

Ning Ruhai also didn't expect the situation to turn around suddenly. Since the thing he found from Zhuxuantang was not arsenic, there was nothing to prove. Thinking that he had ordered Ning Yuan to be executed just now, he couldn't hold back his face and tensed up The lower jaw snorted coldly, and said to Ning Yuan: "Since it's not arsenic, why didn't you make a distinction earlier, somehow collected some realgar and scattered it in the small kitchen, it's your own trouble!"

Ning Yuan said indifferently: "Father, the second brother was so aggressive just now, did you give me a chance to distinguish? As for the realgar powder, I heard that my grandmother had a back pain a few days ago, so I thought that using realgar powder mixed with medicinal wine to massage would be the most soothing. After promoting blood circulation, I bought some and put them in the small kitchen, just to be used as a filial piety for my grandmother.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Zheng also nodded in agreement, "The medicinal wine blended with realgar powder has the effect of Shu Jing.
