Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 332 Suspicion
After hearing Lan Jinfang's words, Lan Jinyu felt better, and said, "If the patriarch said so, I think my mother would be willing to come and testify, but if there are any more people who want to bite me, I won't let him. J!"

Lan Jinyu seemed to have a weak personality, but when it came to an emergency, she would not let it go, but everyone could understand this, since it was a matter of her father's life and death, no one wanted to be framed.

After Lan Jinfang finished speaking, he ordered someone to invite the second wife, Mrs. Kang, and Lan Jinxiang also stood up from the ground. Although there was no clear evidence to prove that Lan Qiaoyu's death was related to him, he was the most suspected of all. of.

Not long after, Mrs. Kang walked into the hall, and she knew what was going on before she came, so she left the maid outside the hall and walked in alone.

Now that she is the highest ranking among Lan Qiaoyu's widows, Lan Jinfang should also be polite to her. Seeing her come in, she stood up and said, "Second Aunt is here, please sit down."

Sitting next to Lan Jinfang, Mrs. Kang asked, "I don't know why the patriarch asked me to come here?"

Lan Jinfang said: "We are investigating the cause of my father's death, but I don't know much about what my father did the day before he passed away, so I asked my aunt if there was anything unusual about my father that day, or did he meet any suspicious people?"

Kang didn't care if they were doubting him, and said: "The master spent most of his time with me on the day before his death, because I was too busy that day, and I didn't pay attention to who he had contacted with. To say it was abnormal, it must be because of his emotions that day. It's abnormal, I've been receiving guests since I got up in the morning, I've seen this and that, and then...so it must be different from usual."

Lan Xianghong asked again: "Then what did the former patriarch eat that day? Does the second lady still remember?"

Kang said: "He didn't eat much that day, he just had breakfast with me in the morning, we both ate the same food, and he didn't change much after eating, he was full of energy until... Before the sedan chair entered the door, he was in a good mood, and when Tang Zhao came to look for him, he went out, so it seemed that he only had something to eat in the morning."

Lan Jinfang knew that she hesitated because of what happened that day, but now she had to investigate the cause of her father's death, and she couldn't avoid anything, so she asked, "Then Second Aunt has heard from my father, what's wrong with him? Because I am so angry that I have a headache and so on, as long as there is something to say, Second Aunt doesn't have to worry about it."

"Uh, this... After the patriarch escaped from marriage, the master did sit there and rub his forehead, but he must have been so angry. I also had a headache at the time, and I'm not sure if he was poisoned at that time."

After hearing this, Lan Jinfang sighed and said, "Oh, the most annoying thing is that no one can tell what kind of light poison is in my father, so I don't know how long it takes from the entrance of the poison to the time when the poison is released, otherwise the poisoning can be guessed based on the time of the poison. When you need to search, the scope of the search will be much smaller."

Lan Xianghong said: "Isn't the patriarch good at medicine? Could it be that he doesn't know what kind of poison this poison is?"

Lan Jinfang shook his head and said, "I don't know, the poison doesn't match all the poisons recorded in the Pharmacopoeia. If it's not a poison we've never seen before, it's been carefully prepared to neutralize all kinds of poisons and change the poison. The original toxicity makes it impossible for us to recognize."

"Never seen it?" Lan Xianghong doubted: "If we say that the poisons that our Lan family has never seen, most of them come from animals, maybe not from my family. If it is a herbal medicine, no one has more complete than our Lan family. Most likely it’s the inner ghost.”

After he finished speaking, Lan Qiaochen continued: "Our family already has a lot of medicinal materials for animals. There is a special feeding ground outside the city. I have been there a few times. There are dozens of venomous snakes there. It's easy to get the medicine."

Hearing what he said, everyone turned their attention to Lan Jinxiang again, because he was in charge of the farm.

Lan Jinfang was frightened out of his wits, and quickly shouted: "Look what I'm doing! It's none of my business. Although I manage the farm, I dare not go there a few times throughout the year. There are snakes everywhere. I am most afraid of that thing." Already!"

But this time, everyone was unwilling to let him go so easily, and pointed at him and said in a hurry: "It's probably you, you are the most suspected! Ever since the patriarch gave the heir's seat to the patriarch, you have always held grudges, Mingli Complaining in private, even your daughter-in-law often tells people that the former patriarch is eccentric!"

Lan Qiaochen also said: "That's right, Jinxiang's daughter-in-law has said this as my second sister, saying that the former patriarch gave the patriarch the seat that should have been given to them!"

Lan Jinxiang wanted to cry, but he thought to himself that this woman, Mrs. Hu, really deserves to be beaten, how can she say such nonsense, now that she is doing well, she is almost driving herself to death.So he kept shouting: "It's not me, I've already sworn it, it's really not me, why do you have to wrong me!"

"Who will believe you when you swear! Everyone who does bad things in the world will swear, and you see how many of them come true!"

"Yes, I think it's him. He should be handed over to the government for a strict trial..."

The clansman was in a mess, and Lan sat there watching quietly, taking note of everyone's performance one by one, and seeing that the quarrel was almost over, she slowly said: "Uncles, uncles, brothers, I think everyone should calm down first. , if things are really as simple as they appear on the surface, I don't think things are as simple as they appear to be. There is no real evidence for everyone to accuse my elder brother. You can't draw a conclusion just because of a few complaints. I think it's better to find out and intercede. So, today Let's go here first, I will find a way to continue the investigation, if you have any useful clues, please tell me, anyway, I will not let my father die in vain."

Everyone thought that he would not let Lan Jinxiang go, but they didn't expect that when all the targets were pointed at Lan Jinxiang, he backed down.Even Lan Xianghong was very puzzled, and asked: "Patriarch, do you really think he is not the eldest son? But he is really the most suspected, even if you are not sure, you should continue to ask!"

Lan Jinfang shook his head and said: "He just tried his best to prove that he was not the one who did it. If we keep making subjective assumptions, if we go in the wrong direction, we will let the real murderer go, so we should be fair and find more clues for future investigations. On balance, before there is no conclusive evidence, it is better not to convict lightly."

Lan Xianghong thought he was suspicious of Lan Xiangrong, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since the patriarch said so, then do as the patriarch said, and we will all look for clues."

"Well, well, let's stop here today, everyone, please go back."

Lan Jinxiang, as if he had received an amnesty, turned around and was the first to leave the hall, and went back to the house to settle accounts with Mrs. Hu.

Everyone went out one after another, including Lan Jinyu's mother and son, but Lan Xianghong didn't leave. He stayed and said to Lan Jinfang, "Patriarch, I still have something to say."
