The Bully General's Spiritual Husband
Chapter 162 The Murder Case is Solved
Cheng Yu searched Yu Ming's mansion from top to bottom but still couldn't find a prescription to cure the addiction to Wushi San.
He randomly found a tablecloth in the room and carefully wrapped up all the powder he had found in the secret passage for making Five-Stone Powder, then took it back with him.
I plan to have someone study this and see if we can find a cure.
Huangfu
Jiang Fu, who had been captured, kept shouting, "Release me immediately! I am an innocent citizen with a pure heart. You officials cannot wrong an innocent person!"
Zhu Wen, who was walking in front, stared wide-eyed, turned around and glanced at him, and Jiang Fu dared not utter a sound.
They only dared to mutter in a low voice.
Zhu Wenxian led his men to Huang Yuanwai's bedroom to check on his condition. They looked at the lifeless man lying there and conducted a perfunctory inspection.
"Steward Huang, you said Master Huang was poisoned to death, do you have any evidence?"
Huang Nian glanced at Huang Lianxi standing beside him, "This..."
Huang Lianxi nodded and said to Zhu Wen, "Yes, Constable, did you know that we recently consulted Doctor Zhang? He is the legendary doctor of our Qingshui Town, and his words are absolutely trustworthy."
Zhu Wenben wasn't good at investigating cases; he usually just caught troublemakers and brawlers in town. He had no idea what to do about a poisoning case like this.
"Alright, someone, go to Qianzhitang and invite Doctor Zhang over. I have something to ask him."
Zhu Wen's men quickly left to fetch Zhang He.
At this critical moment, Zhu Wen dared not remain idle and ordered the others to search the Huang residence to see if they could find any other clues.
Jiang Ping and the other two, who were now being kept under separate guards, were also thrown into a panic.
They thought they had done everything perfectly, but Huang Lianxi, that little brat, ruined their plan and even invited Zhang He over.
The most panicked person was Liu Yuan, as she had personally fed the poison to the master.
If the truth comes out, she will be the first to be beheaded.
The more he thought about it, the more he hated He Sui. He Sui was so cunning. She was just keeping watch at the door, and the poison didn't even pass through her hands. She could wash her hands of it all, but he would be in big trouble.
Jiang Ping was really something, shamelessly claiming that no one could discover this medicine, but who would have thought that that damned Dr. Zhang would discover it so easily.
Zhu Wen and his men thoroughly searched the Huang residence but found nothing.
Because Liu Yuan had already thrown the evidence into the stove and burned it all.
Just when they were at their wits' end, an old woman who was in charge of tending the fire stepped forward shakily and whispered, "Sir... I saw Aunt Liu secretly burning something in the kitchen when no one was around."
After her reminder, a slightly plump cook quickly stepped forward. "Oh, right, I remember now. Before the master died, I remember Aunt Liu said she wanted to drink ginseng soup, so I personally stewed it for her."
The two women's words attracted Zhu Wen and the others, and everyone's attention was drawn to them.
Zhu Wen approached the old woman who had spoken first, "Did you see clearly what it was?"
"No, no, but it looked like a yellowed envelope. I burned it away in the blink of an eye."
Zhu Wen thought he could find evidence, but now the old woman hadn't seen clearly, and the cook's words couldn't prove anything.
Just then, Zhang He was summoned over. He had just been angered by He Sui and left, and he was not very willing to come to the Huang residence again.
But considering that Master Huang was a very kind person, and that he had died so unjustly, he felt he should cooperate in catching the bad guys.
Zhu Wen saw Zhang He and hurriedly went to greet him, "Dr. Zhang, you've finally arrived. Could you please tell me again the cause of Master Huang's death?"
Zhang He repeated what he had discovered.
After listening, Zhu Wen looked at Jiang Fu, who was standing to the side glaring angrily at Zhang He, and strode closer. "Tell me honestly, does this have anything to do with you?"
Jiang Fu was still trying to talk his way out of things. "Sir, I've already said I don't know anything. I just came along to watch the fun." He thought to himself, "They don't have any evidence anyway, what can they do to me?"
As long as Xiaoping and I keep quiet, this matter will not be found out.
Liu Yuan's personal maid was trembling all over, and even the people standing next to her couldn't bear to watch.
"Xiaohe, why are you trembling? Why are you so scared?"
The commotion drew the attention of Huang Lianxi and the others.
Huang Nian had a sharp eye and immediately saw that this little girl was hiding something.
"Xiao He, come out. Do you know something?"
Xiaohe shook her head repeatedly, "No...this servant knows nothing."
Huang Nian spoke again: "Xiao He, do you remember who bought you from the slave trader and made sure you were well-fed and clothed? It was all thanks to the master. If you know anything, just tell me."
"I...I saw Aunt Liu and Aunt He sneak out of the master's room, and then they buried the bowls they were carrying against the back wall," Xiao He said hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen immediately ordered Xiao He to take people to dig the object out from the back wall.
Sure enough, after a stick of incense had burned, they dug up the buried bowl and spoon here.
Zhu Wen handed the item to Zhang He, saying, "Zhang Langzhong, take a look. Is this the poison that Master Huang was given?"
There was still a lot of powder in the bowl, which had been stained with mud. Zhang He picked it up with his hand and smelled it.
He nodded. "That is indeed the poison."
Jiang Fu, who was being escorted along, saw that his scheme had been exposed and roared angrily, "What do you know, you quack doctor? The people in town call you a miracle doctor, and you actually think you are one..."
The officer holding him watched as he insulted Zhang He, then punched him in the stomach, causing Jiang Fu to be in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up.
Having found crucial evidence, Zhu Wen led his men to escort Jiang Ping and the others, who had already been detained, to the county government office.
Liu Yuan and the others, who still held onto a sliver of hope, revealed their dejected expressions when they saw the medicine bowl that Zhu Wen had hidden in her hand.
They've found out; they even found the medicine bowl. They're finished now.
Finally, after Zhu Wen's investigation, evidence and witnesses were found, and Jiang Ping and the other three could not escape.
He was sentenced to be executed in the autumn, and the matter was considered closed.
Huang Lianxi handled her father's funeral arrangements alone, never imagining that it was because of her that her father lost his life.
If he hadn't met Young Master Lin, and his father hadn't had the idea of finding him a son-in-law, perhaps he wouldn't have been killed by Jiang Ping and the others.
As the saying goes, greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. This is exactly the case. Jiang Ping and her friends did something immoral in order to get what didn't belong to them, and they deserved their fate.
After Zhang He discovered the strange poison that Master Huang had been poisoned with, his fame soared, making the already bustling Qianzhitang even more crowded.
The young apprentice dispensing medicine complained to him, "Master, there are so many people, I don't even have time to eat."
Zhang He patted his head with a smile, "Stop gossiping, go see if anyone's here?"
Knowing that Zhang He had discovered a rare poison, Cheng Yu and Li Zhe discussed it and decided to go to Zhang He to see if he could develop an antidote for the Five-Stone Powder.
During lunchtime, the two of them went into Qianzhitang together.
