Master of Rebirth

"Lianyi? How did Xue Cai know Lianyi?" Zhao Jing asked in a deep voice, forcing himself to calm down.

Chang Pozi said in embarrassment: "How does this old woman know, Director Xue would never tell me such a thing."

"Then do you know why Xue Cai is looking for Lianyi?" Zhao Jing continued to ask.

"I don't even know about that." Afraid that the gods would feel that her answer was not sincere enough, Chang Pozi added: "When Director Xue found me before, he insisted on asking me to find a way to enter the kitchen. But the kitchen is not a casual place. In. When he came to me again later, he asked me to send a message to Miss Lianyi."

Zhao Jing was silent. It seems that Wang Qi guessed right again, and Lianyi was indeed suspected of committing the crime.Thinking of what he said to Wang Qi before, a deep sense of guilt spread in Zhao Jing's heart.

"That...Grandpa Immortal...the old woman you asked said everything." Chang Pozi opened her mouth cautiously, but her face was full of anticipation, "When will my son be rescued?"

"As long as you are telling the truth, I will save your son." Zhao Jing waved his hand, and Yan Wu immediately took Pozi Chang down.

Zhao Jing told Xiuwen: "Don't let this woman go back, send someone to watch her. Then find out where her son is, and find a way to get him here."

"Yes." Xiuwen didn't say much, and went straight down.

Zhao Jing stood up and paced back and forth in the room, feeling very irritable.Right now Wang Qi is offended, but Zhao Jing is not panicking.Now he is no longer the child who had nothing to rely on and was afraid of being abandoned a few years ago.Now that he has status and status, if he goes back to show his favor, he is not afraid that Wang Qi will not change his mind.Maybe Wang Qi still wished that he would go back as soon as possible.Thinking of this, Zhao Jing felt a little relieved.

But if you want to show favor, you have to show something.How about helping Wang Qi close the case?Just having this thought, Zhao Jing shook his head again.If it is really the poison of Lianyi, even if she is Liu Yun's relative, she can't do favoritism if she commits such a wrong thing.But if he pushed her out with his own hands, Zhao Jing would feel sorry for Liu Yun.

In any case, if Lianyi hadn't confessed in person, everything would be just suspicion and speculation, and no conviction could be made.Zhao Jing thought about it as a fluke, or let Xiuwen and the others investigate to see if there was any other evidence.

It's a pity that the slap in the face came too fast.Early the next morning, Zhao Jing looked at Xiuwen in surprise and said, "What did you say? The Yamen has already found out the real culprit?"

"The news came from Jinli, so it shouldn't be wrong." Xiuwen glanced at Zhao Jing before saying, "The person who poisoned him is really that Ripple."

Zhao Jing quickly asked: "We just got some clues yesterday, and now Mrs. Chang is still in our hands, how did the Yamen find out?"

"Magistrate Liu searched the prison, and found a cloth bag on Lianyi's body, which contained residual arsenic." Xiuwen said.

Zhao Jing knew that he was overcomplicating things. They suspected Wang Long first, and then followed Wang Long's line to find Mrs. Chang, and then they pulled out ripples.But County Magistrate Liu directly attacked the person who poisoned him, so he could naturally find the trace.

"Even if the arsenic is found in Lianyi's bag, it may not be accurate." Zhao Jing said worriedly: "It is also possible that someone wanted to frame her and deliberately left arsenic in her things. "

"This..." Xiuwen paused, and said, "Rianyi has already pleaded guilty."

Xiuwen's words completely dispelled Zhao Jing's last glimmer of hope.He thought disappointedly, it really is Ripple. It seems that even Mr. Liu's relatives may not be as kind as Mr. Liu.But why would Ripple do this?

"She might be doing it for you." Wang Qi's words echoed in his ears, and an indescribable uneasiness rippled in Zhao Jing's heart. He then asked, "How will Magistrate Liu deal with Ripple?"

Xiuwen said: "Tomorrow County Magistrate Liu will hold a meeting to interrogate Lianyi in public. The government's notice will be posted soon. Young Master, what shall we do?"

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow," Zhao Jing said.

Ewha Garden

At this time, Wang Long was also anxious. He looked at Xue Cai and confirmed again: "Have you seen it clearly? The Yamen really caught the murderer?"

"It's clearly stated in the notice that there will be no mistakes when we open the court for inquiry tomorrow." Xue Cai said, "Now the whole county knows that the murderer has been caught, and even the bitter masters blocking the entrance of the bamboo garden have dispersed."

Wang Long wiped the sweat off his brow, and said, "Who is the real culprit caught by the Yamen?"

"It didn't say in the notice, and I don't know about the small ones." Xue Cai said.

Wang Long became anxious, "Won't you go to the yamen to ask Mr. Zhu?"

"Many people are now asking about the real culprit, and they are more anxious than us. The young ones have already asked, but the people in the yamen are very strict. At present, they only know that the poisoner was a woman, and they don't know anything else." Xue Caidao .

"Women!" Wang Long was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily, "How many women can there be in Linglong Zhai? Is it not obvious that it is just Ripple?"

"From my point of view, the second master doesn't have to worry." Xue Cai poured a cup of tea for Wang Long, and said, "We just gave Lianyi an idea and pointed out the way. She did the thing, and the medicine is the medicine." She bought it herself, and it has nothing to do with us. Even if she is really caught, it will not be our fault."

"Are you sure that girl won't betray us?" Wang Long said worriedly: "Although she has a grudge against Wang Qi, she also has prejudices against me. If she really had no choice, she wouldn't cooperate with me. She went to After all, we pointed out where to buy arsenic, so what if she said so?"

Xue Caidao: "Master Zhu said, what should be tried, County Magistrate Liu has already asked almost all the questions. The reason why we will try again tomorrow is to give an explanation to the county people in public. After all, such a big matter cannot be closed quietly. Xiao I thought, if Lianyi really confessed to us, County Magistrate Liu must have sent someone to summon her. It is impossible that nothing has happened until now. Besides, even if Lianyi confessed us, as long as the person who sold her arsenic/cream cannot be caught , Grandpa has nothing to do with us."

Thinking that the man had been in this business for a long time and never showed any flaws, Wang Long felt a little relieved.He took a sip of tea before saying, "It's a pity that such a good strategy didn't pull Wang Qi down."

"After this catastrophe, the reputation of Linglongzhai must be rotten, and it is not certain whether it will continue to open in the future." Xue Cai said with a smile: "Wang Qi has no other business, so she relies on Linglongzhai to eat. There is no money to make." If you want to deal with him in the future, isn’t the second master deciding what to do with him?”

"That's true." Wang Long was finally a little satisfied: "Go and listen to the class tomorrow. After all, our family is dead, and there is no movement."

"Yes." Thinking of Xue Shi's death, Xue Cai glanced at Wang Long, and swallowed his doubts wisely.

The Linglongzhai Dim Sum incident involved so many people in the county, and most of them were wealthy families, so it naturally caused a great commotion.Knowing that the county magistrate is going to open a court to interrogate the real culprit, before dawn, there are many people crowded at the gate of the yamen waiting to watch the fun.

Zhao Jing was wearing a bamboo hat and mixed with Xiuwen Yanwu in the crowd.

Before it was time to open the hall, Zhao Jing scanned the crowd, but did not see Wang Qi and Qi Xing Qiqing, but saw Xue Cai next to Wang Long hiding behind the crowd, his eyes flickering, No matter how you look at it, you are guilty.

Zhao Jing snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "Now I know I'm worried, if I knew it earlier, why bother?"

Although the court has not yet opened, it cannot affect the enthusiasm of the county people to discuss the case.Many people around Zhao Jing have already started discussing.

"Do you know? I heard that it was a woman who poisoned her." A young man said.

At the beginning of this conversation, someone immediately began to ask, "Really?"

"I have a relative who works in the yamen. When the county magistrate interrogates the prisoner, it is his turn to stand guard. Although he is far away, but judging by his figure and walking, he is probably a woman." The young man said.

"God, it's the most poisonous woman's heart." The crowd sighed: "Who would have thought that such a big case would be written by a woman."

Another person asked, "Why did that woman poison her?"

"How would I know that?" The young man laughed.

The talk here was really lively, so the yamen guard came over with the prison cart.The crowd was immediately driven out of the way and out of the gate of the county government.Seeing that it was indeed a woman locked up in the prison van, the onlookers talked even more fiercely.

Seeing Lianyi in shackles, being dragged by the yamen servants, and staggering into the court, Zhao Jing felt quite uncomfortable.But seeing that there was no trauma on her body or face, and it was obvious that she had not been tortured to extract a confession, Zhao Jing still had some comfort in her heart.

With the deep and deep "mighty" voice of the yamen servant, County magistrate Liu was promoted.Zhao Jing winked at Xiuwen and Yanwu, and the three of them pushed forward calmly.

Under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, County Magistrate Liu sat upright in the courtroom, patted the gavel in his hand, and said, "Who is kneeling in the courtroom?"

"The folk girl Lianyi was originally a singer in the bamboo garden, but now she is a maid in Linglongzhai." Lianyi knelt down in the hall and said calmly.

County Magistrate Liu then asked, "You did the poisoning of Linglongzhai?"

"It's what the girl did." Lianyi said without hesitation.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a commotion among the onlookers.Some people were yelling and cursing, some were sighing, and some couldn't help but want to rush up and beat people.

"Silence!" Magistrate Liu patted the gavel hard, and the servants standing on both sides of the hall took black water and fire sticks and slammed the ground vigorously, shouting "mighty" in unison.The majesty in the hall immediately frightened the chattering crowd outside the hall. Seeing this situation, everyone fell silent.

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers had subsided, County Magistrate Liu continued to look at Lianyi and said, "How did you poison it, and you didn't really do it?"

"The folk girl hid the arsenic/shuang in the cloth bag of her usual clothes, and when she went to the kitchen to deliver tea, when the people inside were not paying attention, she added the arsenic/shuang into the flour for making snacks." Lianyi said: " When the people in the kitchen are busy, the minnv will also help with some work, so no one pays attention."

"Where did you get such a large amount of arsenic?"

Lianyi said, "I bought it."

"It's nonsense." County magistrate Liu slapped the gavel and scolded: "I have already checked the accounts of all the stores in Pingyao County. In the past month, no store has sold so much arsenic/cream. You Where did you buy it from?"

Lianyi said calmly: "Naturally, women have their own ways. There is an out-of-town businessman named Yan in a Jufu Building ten miles east of the city. He has everything he wants that cannot be bought through legitimate channels."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd began to whisper again.

"Is there such a person in Pingyao County?" Zhao Jing asked Xiuwen beside him.

Xiuwen whispered: "It looks like it should be on the Internet. The goods in these people's hands are usually not from the right place, and they can't get on the table. They can only trade secretly. But they are very cautious, and they generally don't accept such things as Lianyi. It's just a casual visitor, I just don't know how she hooked up with these people."

"Needless to say, it must be the road pointed by Wang Long." Zhao Jing thought to himself, and saw the master behind County Magistrate Liu take out a white cloth bag embroidered with red peonies, and showed it to Lianyi and the people outside the hall.

"This cloth bag was found from your body, and residual arsenic/frost was also found in it. Is this your thing?" County Magistrate Liu asked.

Lianyi said: "That's right, the girl used this bag to bring arsenic/shuang into Linglongzhai."

Signaling the master to accept the bag, County Magistrate Liu continued to ask, "Why did you do such an outrageous thing?"

"For revenge." As if she had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, Lianyi finally raised her head, watching County Magistrate Liu repeat word by word: "For revenge."

"Revenge?" Magistrate Liu snorted coldly, and said sharply, "What do you have against those customers who went to Linglongzhai to buy dim sum? Do you want to poison them?"

Lianyi said: "I'm not out to take revenge on them, but to take revenge on Linglongzhai's master, Wang Qi."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"This man's intentions are dishonest, and he forgets righteousness for profit. He is not worthy of Linglongzhai's dim sum, nor is he worthy of being the master of Linglongzhai." Lianyi's eyes were full of resentment.

County Magistrate Liu said: "Wang Qi has been running Linglong Zhai in Pingyao County for several years. When it was at its peak, he even opened a branch in the capital. He is always charitable and has helped the poor many times. He has a good reputation in the county. The official didn't see anything worthy or not."

"Happy to do good? To help the poor?" As if hearing something extremely funny, Lianyi sneered and said, "My lord, can the girl start from the beginning?"

Seeing that Lianyi had shame written all over his face, and seemed to be very disdainful towards Wang Qi, Magistrate Liu said, "Okay, let you start from the beginning."

Lianyi looked back at the crowd outside the hall, took a deep breath, and said with all her strength: "Everyone in the county knows that Linglongzhai relies on a dim sum called Huakai Fugui to support its appearance, and this dim sum It was originally a secret recipe handed down by a poor woman in the west of the county. In order to win over the poor woman, Wang Qi also accepted her grandson Mr. Zhao as his cousin."

"Hey, isn't this..." Yan Wu heard the clue, and was about to open his mouth to speak, when Xiuwen pulled the corner of his clothes.

Signaling Yanwu not to talk too much, Xiuwen glanced at Zhao Jing calmly, seeing that his face was really ugly.

"Lianyi's life is hard. When she was young, she was separated from various brothels. Later, she was sold from the capital to Pingyao County. Because of the inaccurate weather, she fell ill and almost died. Thanks to Mr. Zhao's care, she is able to survive until now." Miserably, she paused for a moment, and continued: "Later, Minnv came to Wang Qi's mansion. Although she was very reluctant, she was content to live in the same garden with Mr. Zhao, even if she couldn't see each other often. gone."

A young woman next to Zhao Jing also seemed to have the experience of not being in love, she couldn't help empathizing with her, and said with tears in her eyes, "Hey, she's still an infatuated woman."

Lianyi put away the affection on his face, changed the subject, and said sharply: "Wang Qi recognized Mr. Zhao as his cousin, and promised to let him study and send him to get a good reputation. Who knows, this is just a lie of Wang Qi trying to steal the secret recipe. He He won the trust of Mr. Zhao and his grandchildren, got the secret formula from them, and then crossed the river and demolished the bridge, turning his face and denying anyone. He just kicked Mr. Zhao out of the Wang family, and he even forced their grandparents out of Pingyao County."

When Zhao Jing and Mrs. Ma left Pingyao County, there were rumors that were somewhat unfavorable to Wang Qi.But after all, there is no evidence, and in addition, Mrs. Ma's grandson has no relatives and no reason in Pingyao County, so no one will care about it, and there are too many new things in the county, and it didn't take long for people to forget about it.

Now someone has rediscovered it, moved it to the stage and talked about it, and it also involved the Linglongzhai poisoning event, which must have caused an uproar.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Back then when Mrs. Ma's grandson and grandson left without knowing why, I knew there must be something inside."

"That's right, who would recognize a poor woman's grandson as a cousin if it wasn't for something else?"

"If it's true, Wang Qi is indeed not kind enough, but it has nothing to do with other people, and you can't poison innocent people!"

Listening to Zhuge Liang's remarks after the incident, Zhao Jing looked at Lianyi, not knowing how he was feeling now.

Turning a blind eye to the voices from the outside world, Lianyi choked up and said, "Minnv heard that Mr. Zhao's grandfather and grandson died not long after leaving Pingyao County. Minnv really couldn't swallow this breath, so she decided to avenge her benefactor."

It took a lot of effort to calm the crowd down. Magistrate Liu asked, "Wang Qi conspired to steal the secret recipe of that Mr. Zhao, do you have evidence?"

"Wang Qi is a treacherous person, and she does everything without leaking water. If there is evidence, Mr. Zhao would not have left like that." Lianyi shook his head and said: "These things are when Mr. Zhao went to the bamboo garden to ask Wang Qi to discuss these things. The girl hid outside the door and eavesdropped. Minnv didn't want to involve so many people, but Wang Qi was extremely vigilant. Minnv stayed in Zhuyuan for several years, but she never had a chance to get close to him. In desperation, I have to go to Linglongzhai."

County Magistrate Liu said sharply: "Not to mention whether this matter is true or not, even if it is true, you cannot disregard the lives of so many people for your own selfishness."

"So many people?" Lianyi sneered, "The people who go to Linglongzhai to buy dim sum are all the young masters and wives of wealthy families, ordinary people can't afford it at all. Minnies were sold into brothels since they were young and suffered all kinds of abuse. And It is these rich and noble families who bully the women of the people. They treat the women of the people like ants. Since these people don't care about other people's lives, why should the women of the people care about them? In short, the life of the people's daughter was given by Mr. It doesn't matter if you give it back to him. As long as you can get revenge, even if you go to the [-]th floor of hell, the daughter of the people is obliged to do so."
