Chapter 282 The Two Cases Merged and Connected

The room fell silent.

Yan Duzhi and the servant girl Jiuhong looked pale, Miss Zheng lowered her head, Doctor Chen gently stroked her beard.

Zheng Hui closed his eyes, sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to hide, it is indeed the case."

"I know my lord father, he will never allow Yan Niang to enter, but I promise Yan Niang, if I want to give her a future, after much deliberation, I can only do this."

"Tonight was planned long ago. I invited all my friends to come to be witnesses. After the toast, Yan Niang and I will sing a sad song. We have a close relationship between life and death. We will talk about life and death with Zicheng. Both of us will die in love. Then Dr. Chen Rescue."

"After this, Father's resistance will be reduced a lot. If I go to high school next year, I will be able to turn sadness into joy..."

"This is what I planned. Even Dr. Chen didn't know the specific situation before. I invited him to wait outside the alley tonight. Please don't blame Li Langjun on him."

Li Yan thought that you, young master, had a good idea, but in the end nothing could be accomplished, so he shook his head: "It's not a matter of blaming, but the case has developed to this point, and it has involved a lot, so we must ask clearly, since you are going to pretend to die for love, What method was used?"

Zheng Hui said: "The medicine of feigning death."

Li Yan: "..."

Do you really think you're playing "Romeo and Juliet"?

Juliet drank the "fake death drug" given by the priest in order to escape marriage. Romeo rushed to the coffin, thinking that Juliet was dead, so he had a confrontation with Juliet's fiancé. When he came over, he was so sad that he also committed suicide.

Familiar story, very dramatic tragedy, but in reality there are such blunders.

In the final analysis, matters of life and death must never be taken as a trifling matter. If you make fun of the God of Death, the God of Death will also make fun of you. Let's see who can afford to joke more~
Seeing Li Yan shaking his head slightly, Zheng Hui mistakenly thought he didn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "Li Langjun, I'm not lying, just here in Beishi, a secret medicine sold by a Hu merchant from the Western Regions, I saw him take it for others Finally, a quarter of an hour later, he fell limply to the ground, his heartbeat and breathing were barely audible, as if he had died, and after another quarter of an hour, he would slowly wake up again and recover as before."

Li Yan's eyes moved, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Can you show me this 'fake death medicine'?"

Zheng Hui said apologetically, "There's only a small packet, and I've used it up this time."

Li Yan asked again: "Where is Hu Shang?"

Zheng Hui replied: "After I bought the medicine with a lot of money, the Hu merchant disappeared..."

Li Yan thought for a while and asked, "Is the medicine in powder form? What color? What kind of taste?"

Zheng Hui said slowly: "It's powder, very finely ground, purple-black, with a pungent smell. I tasted a little bit, and it was bitter and spicy, making me sick, but after a while, I became a little drowsy again."

Li Yan looked at him carefully: "You just tasted that bit?"

Zheng Hui nodded: "That's a small bag, the price is worth a thousand dollars, how dare I use it more?"

"It's really good...now the price is worth a thousand dollars!"

Li Yan said something without beginning or end, and turned back to the case in front of him: "The wine you drank before was Lanling wine. You chose this kind of wine with a strong taste to cover up the smell of the 'fake death medicine'?"

Zheng Hui said: "Not bad."

Li Yan asked: "Whose hand is the medicine in?"

Yan Duzhi said in a low voice, "It's always in my concubine's sleeve."

Li Yan nodded: "Because it takes a quarter of an hour for the medicine to take effect, you have to choose a good time, and then put it in when the right time comes, no wonder you always pour the wine yourself, you shouldn't have done this matter."

Yan Duzhi smiled sadly, and said in a sobbing voice: "A concubine shouldn't do such a thing. As the fake mother said, how can a concubine have the fate of entering a big family? Suddenly, it's like this, and it's just like spring. He even persuaded me to hide his face." Who..."

Zheng Hui held her hand, and immediately responded: "Yesterday I was looking for a fairy, but the car suddenly came to the door. This is what life has to do, and the way of heaven is hard to say..."

Li Yan: "..."

The literati are really hypocritical. Fortunately, he didn't take the Wenchao highway, otherwise he would encounter this kind of encounter from time to time in his daily life, and it would be annoying to death.

Zheng Hui's mind was clearer. Seeing that Li Yan's expression was not right, he said embarrassingly: "Li Langjun, I'm really sorry, you can continue to ask."

Li Yan asked, "When did you take the medicine?"

Yan Duzhi wiped the corners of his eyes, and replied: "Zheng Lang and Gong Qilang were drinking, when the two were talking, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, my concubine put the bag of powder into the pot."

Li Yan looked at her sleeve: "Your actions are subtle enough, and the poison is also extremely powerful. After they finished talking, they came to Gong Goro's table, and I also realized something was wrong at that time."

Dr. Chen has been listening on the sidelines, and at this time he also said: "This poison is very vicious, if it is delayed for a while, it will be unreasonable."

Li Yan nodded: "That's a real poison."

The real poisons in this world are actually equivalent to the controlled drugs of later generations. Ordinary people can't get them at all, and only master poisoners can prepare them.

For example, Sun Sheng, the first head of the inner guard, once poisoned the upper reaches of the Turkic River, killing both humans and animals downstream.

Zheng Hui swallowed that kind of poison, which was much more poisonous than arsenic. If he didn't induce vomiting immediately, Bian Que's repeated attacks would definitely be of no use to Sun Simiao.

Li Yan looked at the maid Jiuhong: "You brought the Lanling wine from the back kitchen, are you sure no one tampered with it?"

Jiu Hong hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, the lady told me about today's big event, the servant girl was very careful, for fear of spilling the wine."

Li Yandao: "If there is no problem with the Lanling wine, and the powder of the fake death medicine was administered by Lady Yan herself, how did the poison be administered?"

Zheng Hui thought about it carefully, his pupils shrank, and he wanted to look at someone subconsciously, but he held back abruptly, and his face quickly turned pale.

But at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, and Gong Siguang's loud voice came: "Li Jiyi! Li Jiyi!"

Li Yan said: "Excuse me for a while."

He walked out, and saw Gong Siguang excitedly saying: "I have asked, it is really as Li Jiyi expected, Miss Zheng is getting married again recently!"

Li Yan sighed lightly: "Are you sure about the source of the news?"

Gong Siguang said: "I'm sure, although I haven't performed the six rituals yet, but I should be right. The children of the Li family in Zhaojun, they are not having a good time recently, but the two families are well-matched."

Li Yan smiled: "Very good, make persistent efforts and continue to explore."

Gong Siguang said excitedly: "Yes!"

Li Yan returned to the side room: "Doctor Chen, you can go and write a prescription, and you, Mrs. Yan, can go too!"

Physician Chen wished he could leave early, got up and saluted, and walked away.

Yan Duzhi was in a state of confusion, and left the room with the help of his maid Jiuhong.

Ever since, there were only three people left.

Li Yan, Zheng Hui and Miss Zheng.

Without asking, Miss Zheng's body began to tremble slightly.

And she kept her head down, and when she raised it up again, tears were streaming down her face: "I changed the medicine."

Zheng Hui had actually guessed it, because before he gave the medicine to Yan Duzhi, only his sister passed it by. But hearing this confession, he still couldn't believe it, and said in a trembling voice: "Why did you do this? Didn't you agree with me? Will you marry Yanniang?"

Miss Zheng hissed: "Aye doesn't have a concubine, isn't he always in love with mother? I hate those seductive concubines the most, how could I agree with you to marry this firework girl?"

Zheng Hui hurriedly said: "Hush your voice! Keep your voice down!"

Mrs. Zheng ignored her, and simply reprimanded: "You haven't even married a regular wife, and now you want to welcome a woman who knows you well. My Zheng family has a strict family style for generations, and it will be reduced to a joke when you come here!"

"When you act recklessly, have you ever thought about your little sister? I'm going to get married too. Mrs. Li of Zhaojun will ask a matchmaker to come to my house to recruit, and my mother told me all about it!"

"And I have already met a prodigal son once, and I have torn up the marriage contract once, and this time I was harmed by you again, which family's lover would like to marry me in the future? What do you want me to do in the future?"

Zheng Hui's face darkened, and he said miserably: "It's my fault! It's my fault! No wonder you beat Yan Niang so hard, and you don't blame her for this matter, she is also a person with a hard life... If you don't want to, just say That’s right, why is it like this?”

Miss Zheng wiped away her tears and became furious: "Say it straight? I still don't understand your temper? How often have you failed to do what you want to do? Your Majesty will follow you in everything. Although Aye reprimanded you at first, but in the end you still insist on it." Let you do it, I can't stop you, but I can watch you fail!"

Zheng Hui's lips trembled: "Then you will change my medicine and watch me fail?"

Miss Zheng said: "That's right, I'm going to replace your fake death medicine with a laxative!"

Zheng Hui: "..."

Good sister, really good sister!

He and Yan Niangzi were both tragic and beautiful, at least on the surface.

As a result, they were replaced by their younger sisters, and both of them had a big fight.

What does his family think of him?What does the literary world think of him?How will I get along in Luoyang in the future?
Mrs. Zheng had thought it all over, and said fiercely: "Aye has always wanted you to become an official. After you lose your ugliness, you should stop messing around in Luoyang and spoil the family tradition. I will think about you when you go to work in other places." pass."

Zheng Hui pointed at his sister, trembling with anger: "You! You! But the jug contained poison, and I felt severe pain in my stomach. If it wasn't for Li Langjun, I would have died. What is going on!"

Miss Zheng was stunned, and burst into tears again: "Wow! I really don't know how the laxative turned into poison! I obviously... Mingming asked Xiangxiu to go to the pharmacy to buy a pack of laxatives and get some potatoes. Powder, mixed together... If you don't smell it carefully, it's no different from your fake death medicine... It won't turn into poison! Woooooo!"

Li Yan admired the strong brother-sister relationship, and watched with relish from the sidelines.

finally comfortable.

Telling you to recite poems and fight against each other when you have nothing to do, and take medicine to die for love, now you know how powerful it is?

After watching the play, he began to summarize:

"Zheng Langjun wants to pretend to die in love with fake death medicine, and force his father to make concessions."

"Miss Zheng didn't want to see Lady Yan get started, so she replaced the feigned death medicine with laxatives, and wants you to make a fool of yourself in public."

"In the end, the murderer replaced the laxative with poison to kill you."

"That's the process of the case."

Seeing his sister crying, Zheng Hui's face darkened, and he was puzzled: "If you really want to poison me, why bother?"

"Who the murderer is, I have roughly guessed. What is lacking now is the motive. The reason why this case is so cumbersome is also because of the motive."

Li Yan said solemnly: "The real key to what the murderer wants to do is not simply to poison you, but the process of you being poisoned."

"If you are unfortunately killed, your father will definitely have to track down the murderer under his wrath. This is an ordinary case."

"But according to the current development, once the murderer guides it, Miss Zheng will be charged, because she was indeed the one who changed the medicine."

"In this way, the nature is completely different."

"Zheng Shishi is the most important family style. As a result, his only son took medicine in order to marry Mrs. Duzhi, and was poisoned by his daughter after changing the medicine."

"Once such a tragedy of human relations spreads, even the Zheng family of Xingyang will become a laughing stock. It will take a long time for them to hold their heads up. The governor of Zheng has an upright temperament and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. It is even more difficult to accept. I am afraid that he will collapse..."

Zheng Hui was terrified and sweating profusely. Miss Zheng couldn't even stand still when she thought of her fate.

Li Yanning said: "The real target of this case is not you, but the governor of Luozhou! What kind of thief did your father offend recently, and made the thief so deliberate to use such vicious means to deal with him?"

Zheng Hui thought and thought, covered his face, and tears flowed silently: "I... I don't know! I've been thinking about Yan Niang recently... I haven't paid attention to the matter of my father at all! The child is not filial! The child is not filial what!!"

Li Yan turned to Miss Zheng: "What about you? Can you think of anything?"

Miss Zheng supported the screen tremblingly, regained her footing, gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a little worried, saying that Aye has been quite troubled recently."

She recalled carefully, and said slowly: "It seems that outside Luoyang City, what kind of fields do you want to check..."
