The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1673 Another dead one

When they arrived in the cell, the five people locked up in the cell saw Di Renjie, and they came to the door of the visitor one after another and lay down on the door.

"Master Di, you have to decide for us, we really didn't kill people, we don't know anything."

When the boatman said this, the fear on his face couldn't be concealed. The food at noon today was poisonous, which also frightened him.

"Yeah, it's really not us, we don't know anything."

"What happened to the lunch at noon today?" Xuan Shijing looked at the guards in the cell and asked.

The guards in the cell were still the same people who also recognized Xuan Shijing. Hearing Xuan Shijing's question to them, they cupped their hands and said, "Master, today's lunch is brought in by the guys outside as usual."

"Dude? From Dali Temple?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Exactly."

"Bring people here." Xuan Shijing ordered: "Go quickly."

"Yes." The guard in the cell responded, and then he took the two brothers out with a knife.

"How did you find out that this food was poisonous?" Di Renjie looked at them and asked.

"When Mr. Di told us to be careful in everything before in the cell, my family kept an eye on it. Before eating, I tried it with my hairpin, and found that the hairpin turned black." A person in the cell the woman said.

"After seeing that girl's hairpin turned black, we didn't dare to eat it, so we told the poor man in the cell about it," said the boatman.

"Where's the hairpin? Show me." Xuan Shijing said.

The girl in the cell handed a blackened silver hairpin to Xuan Shijing. Xuan Shijing looked at it and found that the hairpin was indeed turned black from a poison test. The silver hairpin could only test for sulfur arsenide, silver and sulfur It reacts, turns black, and is poisonous at the moment. The most commonly used arsenic is arsenic trioxide. Because the technology is not good enough, there will be a lot of sulfur or sulfide in the arsenic, so it can be tested by silver hairpins.

"What about those meals?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Still here," said the boatman.

Xuan Shijing walked to the door of the boatman's cell, motioned the boatman to serve him the food, took the rice bowl from the boatman's hand, Xuan Shijing put it under his nose and smelled it carefully.

There is nothing wrong with the smell of the food, but there is still a faint smell of bitter almonds in this smell. If you don't smell it carefully, you will definitely not be able to smell it. The smell of the food is covered.

"Xuan Gong, how are you?" Di Renjie asked.

"It's the arsenic that doesn't have to go away." Xuan Shijing said, and handed the rice bowl to Di Renjie: "Take a close look and see if there is a hint of bitter almonds in the aroma of the food."

Di Renjie took the rice bowl, put it under his nose and took a deep breath, just like what Xuan Shijing said, there is a faint smell of bitter almonds hidden in the aroma of the food .

"Now I'm asking you, I hope you can answer me honestly, otherwise, living here, no one can guarantee that you will be safe and sound like this time." Xuan Shijing said, and then Looking at the two servants of the Dou family: "The same goes for the two of you. Although you belong to the Dou family, but now, likewise, you can't run away. After this time, you should understand, right?"

"Understood, I understand, just ask the Lord." The two servants of the Dou family in the cell nodded repeatedly.

Now they believed Di Renjie's words [-]% of the time. The head of the family, including the two of them this time, wanted them all to die and be buried with Master Dou Shanglie.

"You two, your young master is sick, do you know about this?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Yes, yes, we know that our young master has a strange disease, his skin is faintly yellow, but the doctor said, it's not a serious problem, as long as he takes the medicine on time, it can be rectified." A servant of Dou's family said.

Xuan Shijing nodded, Dou Shanglie's illness is not a secret in the Dou family, even the servants of the Dou family know about it.

"Why haven't you guys mentioned before that your young master is sick?" Di Renjie asked.

"My lord, you didn't ask us about this. Besides, our young master, didn't he die of poisoning?"

Choked by his words, Di Renjie didn't know what to say.

"On the night your young master died, when did you go to Huifeng Tower, and when did you board the boat? Who prepared the things on the boat?" Xuan Shijing asked: "The dishes on the boat are Who prepared it?"

"In the afternoon of that day, our young master came out of Huifeng Building after Shen Shi, and then went to the painting boat on Xuanwu Lake. As for the food on the painting boat, the young master sent someone to Dingfu Building to order. Fu Lou's staff took the food box and sent it to the Xuanwu Lake painting boat."

"On the boat from Huifeng Tower to Xuanwu Lake, on that day, did your young master have any grudges with others?" Xuan Shijing asked again.

The two guys thought about it carefully, then looked at each other and shook their heads.

"It doesn't."

Xuan Shijing looked at the two girls who came out of Huifeng Tower, and the two girls also shook their heads. They had never seen Dou Shanglie quarreling with anyone.

On the day of the incident, Dou Shanglie had never had any grievances with anyone, and the source of the food was found out, so all that was left was to send someone to investigate the Dingfulou.

"Grandpa, Mr. Di, the fellow in the kitchen of our Dali Temple is dead." The cell leader ran back and said.

"What?! Dead? How did he die?" Di Renjie asked in surprise.

"Did from poisoning, beside him, I found a bottle containing arsenic." The prison chief said, and took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket, with a small red note on it, which read With two words, isn't it just arsenic?

"That's it," said the prisoner.

Xuan Shijing took the arsenic bottle, looked at it, and handed it to Di Renjie.

"The guy who delivered the food is dead, and this is a good time. There is no proof of death, and there is no way to find out." Xuan Shijing said: "The work is excellent, and there is no tail left."

At this moment, Xuan Shijing's face was gloomy and terrifying. The five lives in the cell were saved, but a buddy from Dali Temple was involved for no reason. It can't be said that this guy is innocent. He helped the Dou family to poison. Innocent, but when a person dies, nothing can be said.

As servants of the Dou family, they knew about the means of the Dou family. When they heard that the guy who brought them food had been poisoned to death, they were even more terrified.

"Grandpa, Master Di, you two must save us, we don't want to die." The two servants lay on the door of the cell, looking at Xuan Shijing and Di Renjie earnestly.
