Li Yinzhou simply sealed his mouth.

This person's language is inducing, and every word and every word is alluding to the fact that Prefect Sheng poisoned and killed the old lady.

Xu Gong is the captain of Wujun, and he is a deputy. He has long coveted the position of prefect.Everyone in Wu County knew that he was at odds with Sheng Xian, and he hadn't seen him handle the case personally before, but today he came earlier than everyone else. He just wanted to use a knife to kill people and take the opportunity to bring down his old boss.

Captain Xu said unhurriedly: "You are the first person who found her body, your testimony is very important. I will meet with the prefect later, if you speak well, you will be eaten by me, if you dare to lie Say, then be careful to get hit by the board."

The other party's words were like a thin needle, clearly a threat, but secretly quenched the poison.

Li Yinzhou stepped back slightly to avoid his palm: "It is up to the minister to decide the case, and the words of a villain can only prove the truth, so you don't have to be so impatient."

The two were tugging secretly, when they suddenly heard a clear and loud cracking sound from behind.

Looking back involuntarily, I saw a hard and strong mahogany walking stick firmly planted on the ground like a root, and a bit of cold light flashed on the straight line, showing the master's unshakable status in a very majestic manner.

With a movement of Xu Gong's gray eyes, he immediately turned around and stepped forward, bowing, and said with a smile: "For a small case, the prefect came here in person, it seems that someone has neglected his duty."

The owner of the cane stood upright in front of Xu Gong, holding the cane with both hands, his tall body cast a faint shadow, adding an imperceptible aura of overpowering Mount Tai.

Sheng Xian lowered his eyes, caught a glimpse of Li Yinzhou with serious expression and Ji Yan who was hiding behind him, and immediately closed his eyes, and said calmly, "Human life is at stake, how can it be child's play? If the old man doesn't come, don't you still want Jiu to come?" A year-old child to settle the case?"

Xu Gong gritted his teeth. Now that he is the master of Wu Jun and he is the deputy, the moment he is under the eaves, he has to watch people's faces.

He squeezed out a smile: "This is not an ordinary child. He is Li Yinzhou, an apprentice of the genius doctor Zhang Zhongjing. He happened to be here to deliver medicine today. He was the first to find the corpse of the cum old lady, and he also reported the case. So let him ask more questions." After the conversation, although the subordinate officials are not good at handling affairs, they are not people who close their eyes and listen."

The two faced each other tit for tat, each speaking with hidden arrows.

The fingers of Sheng Xian's staff clacked slightly, and a man dressed as a servant outside the courtyard walked up to him bowing his waist.

"This is the cook who made the soup this morning. Since you want to interrogate, why are you holding on to a child and why don't you ask the old man's family?"

Xu Gong raised his eyes, with a sneer in his eyes: "Interrogation

Naturally, it changed from alienation to closeness, but since the public has already invited witnesses, it is better to let them check the book on the spot. "

Of course the cook pointedly refused to admit it: "The soup dishes made by the villain are all presented to the prefect, and this fish was sent by you, Mr. Xu. If there is any problem, the prefect should not be the first to have an accident." Is it public? In that case, you, Captain Xu, should also be suspected!"

Xu Gong made a strange smile: "It is because of the fish sent by XX that the eunuch refused to eat it. After all, it has not been a day or two since the eunuch has disliked XX. But the fish sent by XX is alive and kicking. It must have been checked, why is it pushed to a certain body?"

The cook was dumbfounded for a moment.

What Xu Gong sent was indeed live fish, and the prefect was indeed at odds with him on weekdays, because he didn't like extravagance and waste, so he gave it to the widow who lacked food and clothing. Who would have thought that good intentions would be tricked by others?

But he couldn't figure it out. The live fish was stewed until there were no bones left. He even tasted the saltiness and delivered it to the old lady Ji himself. No one else handled it along the way.

A good bowl of soup, how could it poison people to death outside the prefect's mansion?

Sheng Xian was not in a hurry to judge whether he had eaten or not, but turned to look at Li Yinzhou: "What testimony do you have?"

Xu Gong raised his fist and coughed.

Li Yinzhou stood up from Jiyan's side, and just after hearing the cook's testimony, he asked Jiyan a small question.

Lifting her clear eyes, her brows were lifted three-pointed with a coldness that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"What the villain sees is only the old lady's body and the remains of the fish soup, but the villain has a problem that I can't figure out."

Sheng Xian signaled him with his eyes but said it's okay.

Li Yinzhou glanced at the calm and composed Xu Gong, showing a confused look: "My master always gives me meat when he gets it. This is still the case between master and apprentice, but I think it should be more like this between grandparents and grandchildren?"

The cook stomped his feet and suddenly realized: "Yes! The fish soup is rare, and the old lady loves her grandson, and she will definitely not monopolize it. Why is the old lady dead, but the child is safe and sound?"

Xu Gong suddenly turned his eyes to stare at Li Yinzhou.

Li Yinzhou just didn't realize it.

This person's heart of tiger and wolf is so obvious that he can even kill innocent people, how could he let him as a witness afterwards?If he listened to his threats and lures and lied for him, I am afraid that he would not spare his life in order to exterminate the grass.

It is better to fight a tiger than seek skin with a tiger.

Sheng Xian showed a look of praise: "Since this is the case, it can be seen that the fish soup is non-toxic, and the cause of the old lady's death must be verified by history."

According to this work efficiency, I really wait until that day, I guess

I have to lie down and see Ling Shi together.

Li Yinzhou's subtle emotions brewed for a moment, settled down in the cold wind and rain in his heart, and condensed into a smile that turned into spring rain: "Perhaps, the villain knows the cause of the old lady's death."

In an instant, all eyes with different meanings converged on Li Yinzhou's face.

------------

The night is dark, the twilight diffuses strands of brilliance through the heavy clouds, the rustling autumn wind blows past the ears, and the fine hair flutters the ears, leisurely teasing people's patience.

Everyone has stayed at the old lady's house for three hours.

Outside the door, there were crowds of people who were watching the matter.

In front of them were two first-born puppies, both full of food, lying lazily on the ground, not caring about the eyes of the crowd.

Xu Gong stared at Li Yinzhou dimly, as if there were rolling thunder clouds in his eyes, Li Yinzhou watched the puppy intently, it seemed that dogs were cuter than Du Weigong.

After a while, someone exclaimed, "Look at that dog."

Everyone's eyes focused on one of the puppies, which suddenly twitched for a moment while half asleep and half awake, made a whimpering sound, stomped on all fours, and suddenly dripped blood from the corners of its mouth.

"What's going on here?" Even Sheng Xian, who didn't change his face, couldn't help being curious, "How come only one dog was poisoned in the fish soup boiled in the same pot?"

The onlookers also whispered, not knowing how this was done.

Xu Gong suddenly grabbed Li Yinzhou's hand, and stared at him like a rain of arrows: "Child, don't play tricks, is it possible that you secretly hid some poison in your sleeve?"

The uproar stopped.

But the curious eyes still couldn't hold back, he opened his seemingly obedient eyebrows, and searched in the air knowingly and fascinated.

The person who gathered several gazes not only showed no anxiety at all, but let go of his clenched fists under the staring eyes.

A tiny green leaf falls.

Li Yinzhou looked pure and innocent: "It's not poison, but a vegetable leaf."

Sheng Xian nodded slightly to signal to the cook to check. The cook picked up the leaves, carefully identified them, and confirmed: "Yes, this is nepeta. Although the taste is a bit weird, when the people have nothing to eat, they can only eat this to satisfy their hunger."

Xu Gong's face immediately turned as if he had overturned the palette, red and gray intertwined into a gritted teeth: "So what?"

Li Yinzhou withdrew his arm forcefully from his fierce palm, knelt down and patted the puppy's head as if nothing had happened, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick under the cover of his body

Shaking his wrist violently, he stuffed it with some activated charcoal powder.

No matter how cheap a dog's life is, it shouldn't be compensated for this kind of person.

He lowered his eyes and said: "Perhaps you don't know, Nepeta and fish are incompatible, and if you eat them together, you will be poisoned. In mild cases, you vomit blood. If you are old and weak like the cum old lady..."

That shriveled and sophisticated face appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Yinzhou gritted his teeth: "The poor people can't afford fish and meat, so they can only eat weeds to satisfy their hunger. You can go outside the city to have a look, even the nepeta has been picked. And Gongqing Although I eat fish, I don’t know how to eat nepeta, so this impulse is not well known.”

Even if there are occasional poor people who accidentally eat two kinds of food and die in their homes, they are just buried as strange diseases. Countless people die of starvation every year. Who cares about food poisoning?

As if Xu Gong had been prepared, he rushed to the scene when he received the report, and he concluded that the fish soup was poisonous, and he clearly planned it early.

The fish was given by Xu Gong.

Sheng Xian will not accept his affection, and will definitely give to the poor. When the time comes, the poor who eat nepeta to eat their stomachs will die of poison. If no one knows the inside story, it will be easy to frame Sheng Xian.

Even if you can't pull down the horse, it's enough to get dirty.

The old lady Ji just happened to be the one who was given the soup, she was just a poor man who could only eat nepeta in troubled times, and she just couldn't bear her grandson to drink the leftover soup.

Those who use poison are hard to guard against, and those who are poisonous have no medicine to save.

Li Yinzhou stated the truth to the point, although Sheng Xian was benevolent, he couldn't be a fool to sit in this position without moving.

Xu Gong showed shock preemptively: "I didn't expect that a certain kindness and the public's kindness would send an innocent life by mistake."

Sheng Xian rubbed his temples with his hands, as if feeling infinitely tired: "You said just now that you think I hate you and will definitely not eat the fish you gave me."

Xu Gong frowned, his eyes were sincere and fearful, but before he started to perform, Sheng Xian interrupted him: "Actually, this old man has already eaten this fish soup."

The other party finally showed a trace of real surprise.

"What kind of person are you? This old man knows very well. If the things you give have not been tested for poison, how would I dare to distribute them to innocent people?"

Xu Gong still wanted to argue, but Sheng Xian didn't allow him to interrupt: "You didn't poison, I can't question you. But you don't ask indiscriminately when you decide the case, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and you just conclude that the fish soup is poisonous. This is the case with this old man." , It can be seen how many unjust, false and wrong cases you have committed in the past!"

Sheng Xian has always been lenient, and it was the first time he had spoken so harshly.

Xu Gong is of course clear

Chu himself has done many crimes, but he has never caught the reason, but he didn't want to capsize the gutter, so he cheated himself, and his thighs couldn't help trembling.

Sheng Xian closed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't want to see him again.

"From today onwards, this old man will look into your old cases. I hope that this old man is the only one who was wronged."

The eunuch was able to seize the opportunity to clean up the house, which can be regarded as an explanation for the grievances of the ji old lady.

Jiyan grabbed Li Yinzhou's hand.

He bowed his head.

The three-year-old was spitting bubbles, and recited word by word:

"Brother, four is four, ten is ten."

The author has something to say: cold knowledge: the idiom "spread like wildfire" is related to Sheng Xian. Kong Rong recommended Sheng Xian in his letter to Cao Cao, saying that the pearls without feet fell into the hands of people because people sought after them. Jewels without feet So, let alone a talented person with feet?
