Inscription of Different Cases

"Your Excellency, what are you talking about, poisoning, poisoning, etc., isn't it Mrs...."

Han Lang directly interrupted her: "That's right, Mrs. He did poison, but she used the narcissus poison that works very slowly. Counting from the day she poisoned, the Taifu is still far from the poison. when."

Shu Yun looked at him nervously, as if he wanted to argue something, but he didn't know where to start.Seeing that she didn't answer, Han Lang continued: "The He family does have murderous intentions towards the Grand Tutor, but you are aware of this and simply use it. This will not only murder the Grand Tutor, but also take the opportunity to get rid of the He family. It really kills two birds with one stone." plan."

Only then did Shu Yun open his mouth dryly: "What are you talking about, 'we'? Besides me, do you doubt anyone else?"

Han Lang smiled coldly: "Of course it's your master behind the scenes-- Fourth Aunt Taimei!"

Shu Yun trembled all over, and his eyes widened.Yu Zuoshu stroked his short beard when he heard the words, and said to himself: "Killing the grand master, blaming the eldest wife, and then justifiably supporting the second young master to take power, Mei's plan is good."

"My lords, you, you don't want to testify against my master indiscriminately, you have evidence!"

"Of course," Han Lang said solemnly, "everyone in your house knows that the Tai Tuo loves tea, and he is very particular about it. He not only roasts tea cakes, but also grinds them, washes them, and adds sugar and orange peel to make tea porridge." .And he didn't allow anyone to participate in this series of processes, and he didn't allow you to touch another maid, Fangyue, until the last few steps."

"After the Taifu was poisoned, we have checked the tea leaves and utensils in the study, and even washed the tea water, and finally only found poison in the sugar bowl. The poison was poisoned by Mrs. He. The dead maid Fangyue may have been bribed by her. Later, in order to cover up his crime, He killed Fangyue with a staff."

Shu Yun hurriedly argued: "That's right, so the murderer is the eldest wife!"

Han Lang glanced at her and continued to analyze: "Master He mixed the narcissus poison in the sugar bowl. Because the narcissus poison had a strange taste and occasionally made people cough, she lied to the grand master and said that it was the strange smell only from new tea. The grand master You believed it to be true, and didn't care. But you, as the servant girl in the study, must have been noticed by the Taifu who often coughs."

"I……"

"That day when he drank tea, he coughed violently again. You poured water for him to breathe freely. No one knew that you had poured poison into this cup of water. After the Taifu drank it, the cough did not relieve, but his expression was painful, as if he had been poisoned. In the chaos, you took the opportunity to bury the cup containing the poisoned water in a hurry, and went back to pretend to help the Taifu. Since the Taifu had coughed before, everyone naturally ignored the water you handed over."

"No, it's not like that!"

Han Lang sneered: "Then how do you explain the cup buried in the courtyard?"

"That is--"

"When the Tai Tuo was coughing, the servants on duty outside were already alarmed. Everyone saw you handing the Tai Tuo water to stop the cough. Could it be that you still want to quibble?"

"It's them who spewed blood!"

"According to my reasoning, you don't have much time to bury the cup, let alone wash the poison inside. The poison takes effect so quickly, I'm afraid it's been put in a lot. You say I can test it now, can it come out?"

"Let me do it." Yu Zuo Shu said, took the cup and left the interrogation room.The moment the door opened and closed, Han Lang saw He Yijiu who was still guarding outside the house.The other party was inconvenient to enter due to his status, so the two hurriedly met each other. He Yijiu mouthed the words "nice job" to him, causing Han Lang to smile and scratch his head.

After a short while, Yu Zuo Shu came back, and said very imposingly: "The cup is indeed poisonous."

When Shu Yun heard these words, he was instantly out of his wits and stood there completely dumbfounded.In the end, she knelt down on her knees and cried out in a sharp voice: "My lord, this servant is really ordered by the fourth concubine, I will recruit this servant, I will recruit!"

After some interrogation, the truth of the case is not much different from Han Lang's reasoning.The exception is that both the eldest wife and the fourth concubine misjudged the fifth concubine's ability, and they failed to kill the grand master, which meant that they ruined their own future in vain.In just half a month, the Grand Tutor's residence was almost completely reshuffled, none of the three wives were left, and the only kind one was framed to death, and the other two suffered on their own.The two young masters had no support, and the Tai Tuo was like a thunderbolt. After getting the news, he didn't show up for five days in a row.

Even the Holy Majesty sympathized with him and allowed him to rest for half a year.

The case was solved, and the greatest credit goes to Dali Temple.Yu Zuoshu was kind and generous, and he did not claim merit alone, but recommended Han Lang together with King Zhao.The Holy Majesty heard that there are still such talents among the people, Longyan Joy, bestowed countless wealth, and made an exception to promote Han Lang as the temple official, and instantly became a sixth-rank official, comparable to the previous county magistrate Qian.

Not only that, but he also became interested in the cases that Han Lang had cracked before, so King Zhao brought Han Lang into the palace to meet him.No matter how calm Han Lang was usually, he broke into a cold sweat this time. Facing the king of a country, he didn't know what he was talking about.Fortunately, His Majesty was just trying to make something fresh, and didn't let him go for a second time, otherwise he would really be scared out of trouble.

However, the news always spread like wildfire. Han Lang has really become a hot favorite now. He can get such an honor at a young age, and he is also favored by the Holy Master and King Zhao at the same time. He immediately became the object of pursuit by low-level officials. .In the past few days, Han Lang really experienced the life of a celebrity, and he didn't even dare to return home in a legitimate way, because the door was often full of people who fawned on and gave gifts, so he only dared to climb over the wall and enter the door in the middle of the night, like a thief.

Even the people of Xian Wang came.

"To celebrate Mr. Han's promotion, His Highness specially invited Mr. Han and Mr. He to the banquet together."

After the virtuous king's envoy finished speaking, he respectfully presented an invitation card with the date written on it as five days later.Han Lang continued with a complicated mood, and watched the messenger leave. After a long time, he turned around and said to He Yijiu, "What should I do?"

"It might be a scam." He Yijiu thought the same as him.

"And he even invited you," Han Lang thought, "The people who have been fawning on me these days haven't paid attention to your existence."

"That's not necessarily true. After all, King Xian knows me, so he might just pick me up along the way," He Yijiu waved his hand with a smile, "Don't make it sound like you've treated me badly. Look at you these two days. Compared with the appearance of being troubled and battered, I would like to be happy and at ease."

"Yeah, who wouldn't want to," Han Lang sighed, turned around and saw that the room was full of congratulatory gifts in a mess, "It will subside in a few days, this pile of things can be returned, and those who can't be returned will be sent back Give Anping to the neighbors in the neighborhood."

"Retirement is definitely not possible," He Yijiu waved his hand, "They give you these, don't they just want to get closer and rely on you to do things? Anyway, we will run away sooner or later, so why not care so much about what to do? Sell ​​it as money, and then go to the countryside to buy a house or something."

Han Lang smiled helplessly: "Okay."

After talking, He Yijiu went to count the gifts. He was better at living than Han Lang, and he knew how to count the amount, and figure out what could be sold and what could be kept.Han Lang sat and watched for a while, but went up to help.One was in charge of planning and the other was in charge of taking notes. Han Lang saw a lot of things that he had rarely touched before, such as pearls and jade.He took a piece of jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and felt that this was much more delicate than the one he gave He Yijiu.

Unexpectedly, He Yijiu reached out and took it away and stuffed it back into the box: "This is estimated to be worth 500 taels, remember."

"Don't keep it?" Han Lang couldn't help asking.

"Keep it for what?"

After He Yijiu finished speaking, he turned his back, and the gold silk jade pendant on his waist dangled in front of Han Lang. Although it was a bit rough, it seemed to be quite beautiful after careful comparison.

Han Lang suddenly sighed with emotion, "It's pretty good."

"what?"

Han Lang squatted next to He Yijiu, and touched his ears casually: "That's it."

"Well, this is called the ordinary people's day. If you have nothing to do, you can count your savings, count the daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea."

Before Han Lang could feel his emotions, He Yijiu suddenly brought out a brocade box and said pleasantly, "Ouch! A box of deer whips! This is a good thing, keep it!"

Han Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kicked his ass: "Hey, if you succeed like this, don't you want to be ashamed?"

"Why don't you be ashamed, it's a big tonic, make a deer whip Zhuangyang soup another day, hehehe..."

Han Lang tried his best to ignore the reason for his "hehehe", and said angrily, "I saw the tiger whip just now, do you want to keep it too?"

Unexpectedly, He Yijiu's expression changed instantly: "No tiger whip, absolutely no tiger whip."

"Why?"

"No reason, just don't!"

In the afternoon of the next day, Han Lang finished his day's official duties at Dali Temple, and was picked up by King Zhao's sedan chair as soon as he left the house.It turned out that King Zhao saw that he was a sixth-rank official, and he couldn't wait to arrange a marriage for him.He didn't want to delay the girl, so he had to find some excuses such as "I'm busy with business recently" to delay.Seeing that he no longer refused straight away, King Zhao felt that the matter was on the mend, so he didn't force him anymore.

"Yu Zuoshu brought me a piece of information, and I think I should tell you," said Zhao Wang, "it's related to the case you're investigating."

"what?"

"I'm sure you've also noticed why a woman from the He family knows how to poison people with narcissus. This is not a coincidence, it was arranged by someone."

"Who?"

"According to He's confession, she once had contact with a man surnamed Xiao, who claimed to be a chivalrous man who fought against injustice, sympathized with her experience, gave her the prescription for making narcissus poison, and then disappeared. He didn't believe it at first. But then I couldn't hold back and tried it, and it turned out that everything was as the man surnamed Xiao said. She asked many people to inquire about the efficacy of narcissus, and after confirming what the man surnamed Xiao said, she finally took action."

The He family was indeed being used by others.Han Lang thought to himself.But that man surnamed Xiao, could it be...

"As far as I know, King Xian has a doorman beside him, who is skilled in martial arts, cunning and wise, also surnamed Xiao." Sensing the change in Han Lang's expression, he said with emphasis: "It seems that Mr. Han has seen this person?"

"I can't say whether I have met..." Han Lang said, "But in the case of Shi Yulan, we were indeed put together by a man who called himself 'Xiao Shaoqing'."

"It seems that they are indeed the same person," King Zhao pondered, "If that's the case, then the case of the Taifu may have been planned by King Xian from the very beginning."

It really is a scheming plan.Han Lang thought to himself.Although the case has been solved now, the Taifu is disheartened, and if he doesn't ask about political affairs, it is still another help to get rid of Zhao Wang's side.Now Han Lang could feel the changes in the government and the opposition. More and more officials took refuge in King Xian. If his power continued to grow, the consequences would be disastrous.

The two walked and chatted in King Zhao's mansion, and when they passed by the pool, they stopped together and looked at the koi swimming in the pool with their own thoughts.After guarding against King Xian for so long, and still losing to him time and time again, King Zhao must feel very uncomfortable.Recalling the monster fu yao he saw in the suburbs before, he had that ominous premonition in his heart again—is everything going to develop in the worst possible way?

Han Lang couldn't help being pessimistic for a moment, but decided to break the silence: "Your Highness, is there any news about Shui Qi's caravan?"

"It has been following the rules and there is no sign of trouble."

It seems that the situation is not too bad, Han Lang took the opportunity to tell about the appointment of King Xian to meet him, and then he couldn't help but said: "It's too obvious for him to invite me like this."

Zhao Wang was not surprised: "No, he just wanted to come clearly. Xian Wang often holds such banquets, sometimes to invite a new official, and sometimes to his new staff. This is not a personal Banquets, there are always a lot of participants, so you don't have to worry too much. He won't do anything in front of so many people."

"I see. Thank you Your Highness for your advice." Han Lang nodded.

"Just in time, I also want to discuss the arrangement of this matter with you," Zhao Wangdao, "The current situation can no longer be delayed. King Xian invited you to the banquet, which gave us a good opportunity to break into the inside. There is evidence of his plan, and the whereabouts of the money from Baochang Dam and Yunhai Villa, but it is a pity that my people have not been able to sneak in."

Han Lang suddenly understood: "Are you asking me to go...?"

King Zhao nodded: "On the day of the banquet, I will send people to create chaos outside King Xian's mansion. It will depend on how you and He Daxia behave."

"But Your Highness, the virtuous king knows that I am on your side, so he will take strict precautions and never give me any chance."

Zhao Wang smiled: "Maybe it can prevent ordinary people, but it may not be able to prevent you. The spells of your celestial master school are not ordinary. You also put in a lot of effort to catch the monsters in the Taifu's mansion, right? "

Yu Zuoshu must have told him again.Han Lang thought to himself.But this is a bit too risky.

He couldn't help arguing a few more words, but Zhao Wang was stubborn, and Han Lang's objections were all dismissed.Fortunately, King Zhao didn't force him to do anything, and he just said that he would do his best: "If it really doesn't work, then we can only find other opportunities."

For this sake, Han Lang could only agree.
