The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1477 Find the murderer, Zhao Xu's question
After Zhao Xu came back from the scene, he couldn't think of anything after thinking about it.

Originally, I thought that any case was quite easy, but today I have no clue at all.

He really wanted to slap his two big mouths by himself, what can he do?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu was thinking hard in the hall alone, to see if he could find any clues.

After thinking for more than a hour, Zhao Xu didn't think of anything, and his mouth was dry. This is Zhao Xu directly picking up a cup of tea, wanting to drink it to moisten his throat.

Zhao Xu lifted the lid and was about to drink something that fell from it, preferably into a teacup. Zhao Xu saw where he was in the mood to drink it.

It turned out to be the corpse of a small bug. I don't know how many years it had been dead. The corpse had become dry. Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief. Why is this family so lazy? Don't you know how to clean this beam?

"I don't pay attention to these small details of life. It seems that this family really doesn't pay attention to hygiene." Zhao Xuhui is still concerned about his family's hygiene at this time.

However, the corpses of the long-dead bug kept falling down, which annoyed Zhao Xu. Was there a bug after all?

Zhao Xu seemed to have thought of something when he saw this, and immediately called the servant of the Fang mansion, who was in charge of making the tea.

Zhao Xu asked him to brew a new cup of tea, wanting to see his speculation, and it turned out to be like this

Zhao Xu ordered someone to bring the teapot from the new house and poured a cup of tea. The color was different, like sugar water, and there was a fishy smell.

It was obvious that a lot of things had been added to it, so Zhao Xu didn't hesitate to ask someone to bring out some food, pour the tea into it, and then lead a dog to eat the food.

Sure enough, the big dog that was still jumping around just now died in an instant, and it really was the poison in the tea.

Zhao Xu remembered what the county magistrate said, that the bride of the Fang family died of poisoning, and now it seemed that she was indeed poisoned.

Since ancient times, poisoners have used nothing but arsenic. Even though it can make people bleed from the seven orifices and kill them instantly, it has no smell, but the smell of this cup of tea is really too strong now.

Zhao Xu had the tea maker summon him for questioning.This person is Uncle Fang, an old man of the Fang family. According to him, the stove for boiling water was originally in the house that day, and his aunt came to fetch boiled water. Charcoal was added to water, and another pot was boiled. Only half of the pot was used to make tea, and the other half of the pot was placed in the yard to add cold water, and it was accidentally tripped and spilled on the ground.I don't know anything else.

After Zhao Xu heard what he said, Zhao Xu didn't make any judgments after hearing what he said. He just asked people to go with him to see the tea making place.

The kitchen was dilapidated and most of the tiles were decayed. Zhao Xu asked his companion to point out the place where the stove was placed that day.

Zhao Xu ordered the man to put the stove where it was, add fire to boil water, make tea after the water boiled, but didn't drink it, added water and boiled again, and went back and forth more than a dozen times like this, confusing everyone.

Suddenly some plaster fell from the eaves, and Uncle Fang brushed it away with his hand. Zhao Xu saw it and called him over, saying that the poison that killed your young mistress was gone in no time.

Everyone didn't know what he meant, they didn't dare to speak, they held their breath, and just looked straight up.If not, I saw hot smoke from the stove rushing straight to the roof, and a white thing was squirmed slightly by the smoke, and finally stretched out a snake's head, and a thick saliva flowed out of its mouth, just dripping into the stove.The snake head looked around for a while, suddenly saw many people below, and quickly shrank back.

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at Uncle Fang, only to see that the old man was still staring blankly at the cornice with his blank face up, his open mouth could not be closed for a long time.Di Gongdao: "Do you understand? This is the murderer who murdered your young mistress. The house in your residence has been in disrepair for a long time, and this poisonous thing was born. In my opinion, it is better to demolish it while this is in order to avoid future troubles."

The county magistrate also came, and was speechless after hearing what Zhao Xu said, because he also saw the silver ring snake, which was less than three villages old, and it was a poisonous substance, very violent.

Without saying a word, let someone beat this little thing to death, and the case is considered closed.

That's how Zhao Xu solved the case. Zhao Xu didn't think of this until he saw the corpse of a bug that had fallen from the beam. .

In fact, Zhao Xu is also lucky, because he thought of it based on a case solved by Di Renjie in the Wu Zhou period. This case is so similar to Chu Di Renjie's case, so Zhao Xu could think of this, otherwise he There is no way.

Looking at the dead snake, Zhao Xu fell into deep thought. It stands to reason that such a snake should not have appeared here, but it did appear here. If something abnormal happens, there must be a demon.

Where did this big snake come from? The man is what Zhao Xu cares about now.

"This kind of poisonous snake is quite rare in the north. How could it appear here?" Zhao Xu felt very strange.

Because Zhao Xu later found many such poisonous snakes in other places of his Fang family, and finally the Fang family had to buy more realgar powder. Very depressed.

"Mr. Fang, why are there so many poisonous snakes in your house? You must know that these are not ordinary poisonous snakes. By the way, have there been any unusual situations or strange people in the mansion recently?"

Since Zhao Xu helped them find the murderer, the Fang family was quite grateful to Zhao Xu.

"No, we've been doing the same as usual recently. We never thought that the Fang family would do good deeds all their lives, and that they would let their daughter-in-law die tragically. God, aren't you being too unfair?" The master of the Fang family is really in pain.

It is true that he is a great kind person in this area, and he has done good deeds all his life. Unexpectedly, such a thing will happen, which makes him feel very uncomfortable. Isn't it said that good intentions will be rewarded, but Aite did not.

"Fang members don't have to be sad about the impermanence of the world. This is just a special case. Please be sorry." Zhao Xu comforted.

"I would also like to thank this young master. If it weren't for you, our Fang family wouldn't know how many people would have been poisoned by that beast. Thank you, old man." If it wasn't for Zhao Xu, they wouldn't know how their family died.

"Fang Yuanwai, please be polite. This is a little effort. By the way, Fang Yuanwai, you should think about it carefully. Have any strange things happened here recently, otherwise there would be so many Coral Snakes here."

Zhao Xu was very curious about these Coral Snakes, because they couldn't appear here on a large scale without external reasons. So far, dozens of them have been caught. Zhao Xu is also very strange, what is going on in this Fangfu ?
