Daxianguan

Chapter 347
The doubtful points that Chu Xian pointed out clearly meant to hit the nail on the head. Many people in the hall were taken aback for a moment, looking carefully at the obviously poisoned corpse, and then at the poisoned silver needle, all of them looked contemplative.

Lu Shouyao narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Lu Shousheng said coldly: "Who knows if Li Ziwan was afraid that a silver needle would not kill my nephew, so she continued to poison her."

Wu Zuo over there also said at this time: "My lord, I had similar doubts during the inspection before, but after I checked the mouth of the deceased, there were traces of poisonous corrosion on the tongue and teeth. I think, apart from the silver needles, the deceased was also taken Feed the poison."

"Oh!" Chu Xian groaned at this time, and then looked at Wu Zuo with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Chu Xian suddenly said: "Come here, tie up this dereliction of duty for me."

He knelt down in fright.

At this time, the yamen servants in the hall already knew that Mr. Chu was unusual, so they carried out Chu Xian's order this time very simply.

After all, it's just a small job.

Soon, Wu Zuo was tied hands and feet and knelt on the ground.

Hao Qinglian in the hall was puzzled: "Lord Chu, what is the reason?"

Chu Xian picked up the corpse book on the ground and handed it to Hao Qinglian: "Master Hao, look at the corpse book, is there any other way of poisoning other than silver needles written? Since there are clearly poisoned things eaten, Why didn’t you write this work? The charges of dereliction of duty are minor, and once I let the officer find out the truth, you will lose your head for this bold work.”

Chu Xian's words were full of murderous intent, and that guy was already trembling with fright.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me. The little official was just confused for a moment. At that time, the young one also saw the details. It's just that Cai Wenju said that they were all poisoned to death. What's the difference? His relatives, if they want to say that the deceased had eaten poisoned food, may implicate his relatives and cause this plain disaster, and they also say that the murderer must have poisoned the food in advance, since it was all done by the murderer, The toxins used are the same as those on the silver needles, so why bother to cause troubles. At that time, the younger one didn’t want to, but Cai Wenju couldn’t hold back Cai Wenju’s lobbying. He, he even gave me 50 taels of silver, saying that if he could keep his relative There are also rewards, I was confused for a while, so I didn't record those in the corpse book."

This guy is also timid, he was so frightened by being tied up, so he immediately recruited.

This time Hao Qinglian was also furious, after all he was also deceived by this operation before.

"Bold, what else do you have to hide, and you don't confess together. You know the punishment of the government. If you don't tell the truth, you will suffer later."

His face paled in fright, and he cried: "Master Hao, Master Chu, I told you, I didn't dare to spend the 50 taels, so I kept it at home. This matter is a little ignorance. The little one has young children at home, so why don't you spend the [-] taels?" There is an old mother to support, and the whole family relies on the villain, so please forgive me, please forgive me."

Hao Qinglian still wanted to speak, but Chu Xian stopped, and then asked, "Who is Cai Wenju?"

At this time, Hao Qinglian thought for a while and said, "It sounds familiar."

The clerk next to him boldly said at this moment: "Returning to the two adults, Cai Wenju is an official of our government office. He is responsible for some trivial matters and purchases goods. normal."

"Where is this person? Catch him." Chu Xian was delighted. Obviously, after his unremitting efforts and efforts, he finally found a clue.

50 taels of silver, although not much, is not a lot for ordinary people.

For so much money, Cai Wenju must know something.

The yamen servant went down immediately, but came back soon, saying that Cai Wenju could not be found.

"Go to his house and have a look, and invite a few government officials to go together, I'm afraid that Cai Wenju has already escaped." Chu Xian felt bad.

The yamen servants and the catcher immediately took orders and left.

In the hall, Lu Shousheng asked: "Officer Chu Tui, but if you found something, why didn't you tell us?"

Chu Xian glanced at Lu Shousheng. This person has been very concerned about this matter from the very beginning, and he has almost never left except when he was going to get the iron scroll of merit. His various performances have long made Chu Xian suspicious. .

Chu Xian already knew the other party's identity, Lu Shousheng, Lu Shouyao's fourth brother, Lu Shouyao's generation, there are only four brothers, the eldest brother and the third are officials in other states, so they haven't rushed back yet, but Lu Shouyao is the governor of Yanzhou, and he is the most capable of the four brothers.

As for this Lu Shousheng, it is said that he is an eighth-rank official in Yanzhou Changshi's Mansion.

Chu Xian was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't reveal anything on the surface. He just said: "You all heard just now that Wu Zuo took Cai Wenju's money and deliberately didn't write some important clues in the corpse book. Now I want to ask Cai Wenju for questioning."

"Hmph!" Lu Shousheng said with disdain on his face, "What does this have to do with my nephew's case? Aren't they all poisoned to death by that vicious woman? Official Chu Tui, what you're doing is unnecessary, right? Wasting time."

Chu Xian was very calm, he didn't care about Lu Shousheng's sarcasm, but said: "How to judge the case, I have my own discretion."

With one sentence, Lu Shousheng's mouth was blocked.

At this time, Chu Xian didn't wait, but walked to the most important certification, that is, Lu Zeyuan's personal guard, and asked in a low voice.

Lu Shousheng has been paying attention, and now seeing Chu Xian and the guard talking in a low voice, he immediately said: "Officer Chu Tui, what are you going to say, why don't you say it loudly, what are you doing furtively?"

Even Lu Shouyao couldn't stand the way he cared about this and that.

"Fourth brother, there is something wrong with you. Could it be that you have a personal grudge with that Chu Xian?"

Lu Shousheng hurriedly said: "Why, I just can't understand that Chu Xian is covering up Li Ziwan, a murderer. Second brother, should we just let Chu Xian mess around?"

Lu Shouyao said in a deep voice: "Of course not, as I said, no matter what happens after today, I will take the merit scroll to Jingzhou to sue him. If it proves today that he is covering up Li Ziwan, then he If the crime is added to the crime, then not only will his official position be lost, but his life will also be in jeopardy."

"But..." Lu Shousheng was still about to say something, when Chu Xian's voice suddenly came from over there.

"You mean, when Lu Zeyuan hosted the banquet yesterday, he was not the only one there, but Lu Zeyi was also there? Then who is Lu Zeyi?" Chu Xian asked at this time.

The guard replied truthfully: "Master Zeyi is the son of Fourth Master Shousheng, and he and Master Zeyuan are brothers."

Hearing this, Lu Shousheng was furious.

"Chu Xian, what do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting? It's just a normal inquiry. Lu Zeyuan was poisoned yesterday. He must not only have contact with Li Ziwan. Of course, he must find out about other people." Chu Xian said unhurriedly.

Lu Shousheng couldn't say anything else, he just said: "My son Zeyi and his cousin Zeyuan grew up, they are like brothers, they are often together, there is nothing strange about that."

Chu Xian stared at Lu Shousheng at this time, and smiled noncommittally: "Since we are brothers, why don't you see Lu Zeyi?"

At that moment, even Lu Shouyao came to his senses and asked, "Fourth brother, where is Ze Yi, why haven't I seen him since yesterday?"

Lu Shousheng hurriedly said: "That's right, Ze Yi's master took Ze Yi away yesterday, saying that he had something important to do, second brother, you also know that the master Ze Yi paid homage to is a master, and his temper is a bit weird. Once, without saying hello, I took the Ze area to travel far away, and this trip lasted for a year, and I couldn't find it even if I tried to find it."

Apparently Lu Shouyao also knew about this, so he nodded too: "Since the Taoist of Shenyu took Zeyi away, it's not surprising."

He does not mean that.

Chu Xian listened carefully to the conversation between Lu Shousheng and Lu Shouyao. After hearing the words "Shenyu Taoist", Chu Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't hide his surprise.

Fortunately, no one was paying attention to him at the moment.

Chu Xian obviously knew this Taoist of Shenyu, in the previous life in the dream, this Taoist of Shenyu did a lot of evil, and died at the hands of Chu Xian, so Chu Xian was very familiar with this Taoist of Shenyu.

It's just that I didn't expect to hear the name of the Taoist of Shenyu at this time.

Not to mention that Lu Shousheng's son was actually the disciple of the Taoist of Shenyu.

That's interesting.

Chu Xian almost immediately thought of the red falcon that was chasing after the paper crane message that he had sent to him before. At that time, Chu Xian felt that this falcon must be driven by a master, if it was not given by him and Mo Lin Black hair, I'm afraid he can't deal with the falcon.

At this moment, Chu Xian had a guess.

The person who released the falcon may be the Taoist of Shenyu, and he is the only person with this kind of ability.

Counting the time, the current Taoist of Shenyu is already at the peak of cultivation and the realm of Dharma Body, and he can definitely be called a master.

If the current self meets that divine language Taoist, he is definitely not an opponent.

In Chu Xian's view, since the falcon was probably made by the Taoist of Shenyu, the other party must have something to do with this case.

Taking Lu Zeyi on a long trip?

How can there be such a coincidence, Chu Xian thought of the situation of the Lu family at this moment, and immediately made a bold guess.

But to confirm this guess, one had to ask Lu Zeyi and Taoist Shenyu face to face, if it was only Chu Xian, or even if there were thousands of troops around him, Luo Fei, Luo Yong and Chu San were all there, there was still nothing to do with Taoist Shenyu.

But Chu Xian now has a more powerful helper.

Medical Immortal Li Fuzi.

Although this is a medical immortal, he belongs to the last stream of immortality and is not an immortal who is good at fighting, but anyway, Li Fuzi is also an immortal. If Li Fuzi went to catch the Taoist of Shenyu, it should not be a big problem.

At that moment, Chu Xian secretly gestured to Li Fuzi, and then walked to the back with the excuse of going to the toilet. After waiting for a while, Li Fuzi came.

Knowing that time was running out, Chu Xian immediately explained some things to Li Fuzi.
