Chapter 431 Deyu's Death ([-]) Second Watch

In any case, De Yu's words were considered very important in the county palace during his lifetime. The two of them didn't know anything else, they only knew that they were soft-spoken. If someone caught them disrespecting the corpse...

"You two don't need to think too much, I just want to say that Deyu's death deserves more than he deserves! I just want to find out the cause of death, and it has nothing to do with what the two of you have done."

Qin Wubing reassured the two of them, and they both nodded in agreement.

"Do you two remember the circumstances of his death?" Qin Wubing asked again.

One of them immediately lay down on the ground, as if Deyu had died.

Qin Wubing nodded again, and asked the man to stand up and ask, "Do you know what Deyu ate last night?"

The two shook their heads together.

Standing aside, Feng Wenshun immediately said, "It's very hard for Deyu to serve the county king close by on weekdays, so he is different from the servants in the mansion. He can tell the kitchen to cook whatever he wants to eat at any time."

"He has a little eunuch to serve?"

"Yes! But the little eunuch was frightened crazy this morning, and now he is hot all over, and he is still talking nonsense."

"Since he is serving Deyu, there is no reason why Deyu hasn't rested yet, should he go to bed first?"

"Of course not. Even if he rests, he will rest on the bed outside the house. Deyu calls at any time, and he will get up at any time."

"So it doesn't make sense for the little eunuch to find out that De Yu is dead in the morning!"

Feng Wenshun nodded and said:
"To tell you the truth, Captain Qin, I can't figure it out either. Deyu is usually very good in front of his master, but he is not easy to get along with in private. Xiao Shunzi is often beaten and scolded, and he is also a pitiful person." My child, who was poor and wanted to be sent to the palace to serve the masters... Cough, aside from this, Xiao Shunzi can no longer speak human words, so no one will know what happened last night."

The old monk came over and asked Qin Wubing: "Is it possible that De Yu knew that his time had come, so he had a good heart, first stunned Xiao Shunzi, and then committed suicide by taking poison?"

Qin Wubing frowned, and asked Feng Wenshun: "Who said Deyu committed suicide by taking poison?"

Feng Wenshun froze for a moment.

Qin Wubing explained: "When the generals guarding the county's palace went to report to Prince Xiang, they said that De Yu committed suicide by taking poison."

"Isn't it?" Feng Wenshun looked at Qin Wubing in surprise and asked.

"Why?" Qin Wubing looked at Feng Wenshun in puzzlement and asked, "Did you see the appearance of the deceased carefully? Do you know what it looks like after being poisoned? How can you conclude that he committed suicide by taking poison?"

Feng Wenshun looked puzzled when asked, as if Deyu should die this way, if not, it would be unbelievable.

Qin Wubing looked at Feng Wenshun, frowned tightly, and waited for his explanation.

The old monk patted Qin Wubing and said:

"It's not his fault. There are three ways for eunuchs to die. Those who die of illness themselves, and those who are beaten to death by the master. The master finds it difficult to beat him to death, so he gives him poisonous wine, which is clean and tidy."

Qin Wubing immediately grasped the important point and asked Feng Wenshun: "Did King Cheng speak ill of Deyu yesterday?"

"The king of the county is in a bad mood these days, and Deyu is by his side all day, so it's normal to be scolded." Feng Wenshun said with embarrassment.

Qin Wubing understood that King Cheng was not mentally normal during this period, and that Deyu died suddenly, so it was not surprising that his subordinates misunderstood that King Cheng had done it on purpose.

"Go, take me to meet the crazy Xiao Shunzi!" Qin Wubing said and walked out of the hospital.

Feng Wenshun quickly walked two steps forward, leading the way.

The old monk was not very happy, he walked beside Qin Wubing and asked, "What's so interesting about a lunatic?"

"De Yu's death is indeed a bit scary, but it won't scare people crazy, right?" Qin Wubing seemed to be talking to himself.

"How scary?" The old monk asked curiously.

Qin Wubing stretched out his hand and gestured: "Keep your eyes open, open your mouth!"

The old monk shrank his neck:

"That's insane! Do you think everyone is like you? You haven't heard from the long history that Xiao Shunzi was still a child and was bullied by Deyu on weekdays. He must be afraid to the bone. In the early morning, Xiao Shunzi tremblingly went to wake Deyu up, and seeing Deyu like this suddenly, it's no wonder he wasn't crazy!"

"It makes sense! I was afraid of this person in my heart, but when I saw this person dead suddenly, he was still dying... But why didn't Xiao Shunzi know when Deyu was struggling before his death?"

"How do you know that Deyu struggled before his death? I know a kind of poison. After drinking it, he died without anyone noticing it. He fell asleep and died. It couldn't be more comfortable..."

"It's so comfortable, how can it be hideous? Shouldn't it be peaceful?" Qin Wubing asked angrily.

"That's right! This shows that the poison Deyu took is not good, and it must not have been given by King Cheng." The old monk said firmly.

Feng Wenshun couldn't help slowing down and listening carefully.

Qin Wubing turned his head and looked at the old monk with questioning eyes.

The old monk explained proudly: "What kind of poison does the royal family want? The most important thing is to be clean and tidy. Otherwise, why bother to poison to death? Isn't it the same to kill?"

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows and said: "So, Deyu is not the one that Prince Cheng wants him to die."

Feng Wenshun turned his head and said, "But no one in this mansion can surpass Deyu..."

"What's your name? Princess Chengjun doesn't count? The children of King Chengjun don't count?" the old monk asked with a stare.

"Yes, it counts! But if I say something presumptuous, if I want Deyu to die obediently, only the king of the county can do it."

Qin Wubing smiled, walked to Feng Wenshun's side, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "You always think that Deyu was ordered to commit suicide?"

"Otherwise he is fine, why did he die?"

"But, if it's the intention of King Chengjun, why don't you know? There must be someone to tell De Yu with medicine, right? Then there must be no one to serve De Yu on the road? And how can Xiao Shunzi not know about this process?"

Feng Wenshun lowered his head, thinking very seriously, Qin Wubing put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at the old monk and said:
"Besides, even if King Chengjun is in a bad mood, if Deyu does something that makes him unhappy, that is still a matter of punishment. There is no need to pretend that Deyu knows something, and King Chengjun wants to keep his mouth shut." scene."

The old monk was just about to retort that giving poisoned wine does not necessarily mean sealing the mouth. There are many reasons why the master was motivated to kill. He just thought of following him for many years, so he would leave a whole body and suffer less crimes. Killing is the worst.

But when the old monk thought of Qin Wubing's eyes just now, a bunch of words stuck in his throat, which made the old monk gasp for breath.

Feng Wenshun lowered his head, looking hesitant to speak.

"If you have something to say, you can say it directly. I will not tell others what you said." Qin Wubing said gently.

Feng Wenshun sighed:

"As the governor of the county king's mansion, I really can't be regarded as someone close to the county king. Really, there is something secret... Captain Qin, let's meet Xiao Shunzi first. I don't care about the county king... A lot to say."

Qin Wubing nodded and stopped talking.
