overbearing

Chapter 23 Guard

The cruel behavior did not cause much disturbance in the hearts of the filial piety guards. It was not that they were troublesome and unkind, but that He Qian's pain reminded them of their own different experiences, and the degree of pain was not as close as it could be.

Yang Yuran froze in place, being used and betrayed made her fall into hell.She leaned forward unsteadily, and was quickly supported by the servant.

He Qian's eyes were full of distress, and he almost begged, "A Li, come closer, let me take a last look at you."

Yang Yuran struggled in her heart for a moment, but she couldn't match He Qian's overly genuine concern.In the face of caring that she could give up herself to die for her, she couldn't believe that He Qian really betrayed her.

Pushing away the servant who grabbed her, he quickly ran to He Qian, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and helped him lightly test the blood on the corner of his mouth.

"A Li, do you blame me?"

He Qian asked very cautiously, as if the demon-slaying sword behind him couldn't kill him, but Yang Yuran's answer might make him lose his will to live at any time.

Yang Yuran's fingers trembled slightly, she squeezed the blood-stained handkerchief tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "You have been responsive to my requests all these years, and I always remember that on a snowy night that year, I contracted a serious disease. You risked being infected and hugged me tightly." I live in the cold, and use my own body temperature to help me warm up. I remember all your kindness, but my father was killed by you, you and I are different from demons, so let’s cut off our love today.”

"The old owner was not killed by me. I went to the dark room behind the rockery just to destroy the old owner's forge. I have fallen in love with you in the days when I was with you. I just want to destroy the things that harm my people. "

He Qian yelled loudly, and when he saw the determination in Yang Yuran's eyes, he couldn't control his emotional agitation and struggle.

"My father died in the dark room, what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't kill the killer?" Yang Yuran turned around in extreme disappointment.

"I have evidence. You say that the old owner killed himself by hitting the back of the head with a blunt object, but we horse demons are naturally sensitive to smells. There is nothing colorless and odorless in this world. Even clean water has a smell. In fact, the old man The Lord didn't let a blunt instrument kill him, he was already poisoned before that!"

He Qian's conclusion was as shocking as thunder, He Ningyue opened his mouth wide in surprise, and asked, "You mean my father died of poison?"

"Yes." He Qian said firmly: "There is an empty bowl in the dark room. The smell of poison coming out of it is particularly strong. You humans can't smell it, but I can smell it very clearly. Find someone who understands medicine You will know after dissipating it. Just add pure condensate and water, and the original color of the poison can be restored."

"This bastard is stalling for time. We don't want to listen to his nonsense. The autopsy has proved that the master died of a fatal injury caused by a blunt instrument."

Bao Yuling scolded sharply, pulled out the soft sword from her waist, and quickly walked in front of He Qian.

Yang Yuran reached out and hugged Bao Yuling's waist, preventing her from approaching He Qian.

Bao Yuling struggled to twist her body but failed to break free. She didn't see Yang Yuran's strength, so she refused to let go and scolded: "You eat everything from inside to outside, the master loves you so much, and you actually want to help outsiders get away with it. Wrong, he You don’t even count as human beings, and you actually want to help animals get rid of crimes.”

Yang Yuran is very familiar with this kind of accusation, and blurted out aggressively: "Second sister-in-law killed Tang Yi at this moment, and she will inevitably be called a murderer. Tang Yi's words are well-founded. Let's go to the darkroom to investigate and find out if it is true or not. .”

Bao Yuling's complexion was extremely ugly, she glanced to the right side of her body, waited for a moment, lowered her arms, and shouted angrily: "Let go of me, go to the dark room and check it out, as my family Long Lang said, the murderer must be caught and buried with the master today." .”

"Ah."

Yang Yuran responded solemnly, and the group took the old doctor and escorted the suspect to the dark room.

On the way, He Qian showed Yang Yuran many times the small gesture of "you go to the front".

Yang Yuran rushed to the front of the line with the housekeeper when everyone was passing through the rockery, and arrived at the dark room through the dark and damp stone stairs.

The butler pushed open the door, and she was the first to enter. She stepped on something soft and tried it with the tip of her toes, which looked like a roll of parchment.

My heart sank, could this be the blood contract that the third lady mentioned?
He Qian kept saying that he wanted to destroy the forge, but he actually took the risk to help her and the third wife find a blood contract?

Knowing that if he was caught, he would definitely have to be searched, so he used the secret method that only monsters know how to hide, and left the blood contract at the door, waiting for her to find out.

Before he had time to think about it, he bent over and picked up the roll of sheepskin and hid it in his arms.

The torches were lit, illuminating the entire dark room.

In the dark room, there are grotesque animal skins on display, and fingerprints protruding from the forging furnace, all showing the tenacious resistance of the monster race before death.

He Qian retched with a livid face, scolding the old owner for being cruel and inhuman.

"Go to inspect the porcelain bowl."

Qin Muyu stared coldly at the old doctor who was accompanying him.

The sixtieth old man answered again and again, walked quickly to the table with the medicine box on his back, took out the white powder from the medicine box and sprinkled it into a porcelain bowl.He reached out to take the clean water brought by the servant and added it. In the blink of an eye, the water in the bowl gradually became cloudy and gave off a pungent smell.

"Toxic, get out first."

Li Shuo took the lead, covered his nose, turned and left.

Yang Yuran turned around and found something under the table flashed by the light of the fire, bent over to pick it up, and hurried to catch up with the large army.

Returning to the ground, He Ningyue looked at the old man and asked, "What poison did my father suffer from before he died?"

"I don't know, this poison is extremely poisonous, I have never seen it in my life." The old man stroked his beard, shook his head and said, and glanced at He Qian meaningfully.

Yang Yuran has been observing He Ningyue all the time, so he naturally saw the strange look in the other's eyes, as if he was relieved.

She quickly weighed the pros and cons, decided to follow Ah Li's original intentions, and asked, "Sister, let me remind you of the wound on the back of my father's head. His old man started practicing gold steel body protection skills at the age of 30, and now he has practiced to seventy years old." Well, ordinary weapons can't hurt him at all. It seems that only the Frost Hammer that Dad gave you can leave him with such shocking wounds."

"I lost my Frost Hammer." He Ningyue looked at Yang Yuran without blinking, and said, "I lost it three days ago."

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Yang Yuran took out the jade pendant he had just picked up from his bosom, and asked with a smile: "I just found this jade pendant under the table, I remember it belongs to my brother-in-law. If you don't believe me, you can wait until the smell inside has dissipated, and check under the table. There are dents on the jade pendant in the blood. So, could it be that my brother-in-law stole the Frost Hammer?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the eldest brother-in-law can't do such a thing, I can testify."

Bao Yuling retorted excitedly, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that she had fallen into a trap from Yang Yuran's smug snort.

Yang Yuran brought up the jade pendant covered with black blood spots, waved it in front of He Ningyue and Bao Yuling's eyes, and slowly analyzed: "The autopsy shows that my father died of blunt force injuries, this autopsy will not be wrong. Even if my father was poisoned Well, with his Vajra Kung fu, he won't die within two hours, but will only lose the ability to resist. I guess, the second sister-in-law is relying on a private meeting to testify for brother-in-law?"

Bao Yuling was completely confused, no matter because of her second sister-in-law or her own standpoint.

He strode up to He Ningyue, held her hand and explained in a panic: "It's not what Ah Li said."

"Is it like what I said, just ask the man caught by the second brother."

Yang Yuran beckoned for the butler to bring it to the husband, who stared at Bao Yuling for a long time, and said with certainty, "It's her, she was the one who had a private meeting with my uncle last night."

"You're framing someone!" Bao Yuling shouted angrily, her eyes timidly observing He Ningyue's joy and anger.

Yang Yuran clicked his tongue twice in fear of chaos, and said with emotion: "It's so weird, my brother-in-law is going to elope with my second sister-in-law, and the servant heard my brother-in-law said that my elder sister was going to do something last night. But my brother-in-law's jade pendant was thrown at the scene where my father died. Now there are only two possibilities. The brother-in-law killed his father and deliberately revealed the murderous intention of the elder sister. Only the poison and the jade pendant of the brother-in-law that you suspected of being a monster were found at the scene. Based on this, it may be that the brother-in-law is helping the elder sister to perjure. Tang Yi is destined to die, brother-in-law Why did you leave the jade pendant in an unnecessary way, to prove that when father was about to be poisoned to death, someone made up for it again."

Yang Yuran finished the analysis in an orderly manner, quietly admiring He Ningyue's moist eyes for a few seconds, and slowly came to a conclusion: "Second brother arrived in time, brother-in-law naturally has no time to perjure that person, so I can only leave my jade pendant to come Take the blame. Find the person who has always admired you after the end, take the other person to elope, and then absconding in fear of crime is a certainty."
