Queen's Detective

When Yan Sanbai, Li Yan, and Ling Dingshun went back home, the Cai family's old house was shrouded in a dark cloud.Li Mao died, and he died here, turning Yan Sanbai's carefully constructed advantage into an evil in an instant.

"This is my responsibility." Guan Qing resigned.

Yan Sanbai shook his head, "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Li Mao was obviously poisoned to death, and the person who poisoned him could never be Lao Cunzheng or those from the three families. They are ants on a rope. Grasshopper, Li Mao's death is of no benefit to them at all. Therefore, the person who did the killing is very likely to be the real murderer."

"You mean, the person who killed Liu Fu?" Li Yan said, "It seems that the murderer, like Li Mao and the others, wanted to cover up the secret."

"The fire more than ten years ago burned a woman to death. Could it be that she came back for revenge?" Ling Ding frowned and deduced, "Maybe she didn't die at all, or is it her descendant?"

Hearing this, Yan Sanbai murmured: "The matter of Li Mao can't be spread out for the time being. In this case, alone, please go and inform Laocunzheng and the people from the three families to come one by one. Lord Guan, please let Dali The people from the temple immediately went out to ask the villagers, no matter what happened recently or more than ten years ago, the more detailed the better."

"Okay." Ling Ding agreed, and Guan Qing's resignation was also swift and decisive. Once he recognized Yan Sanbai, he would not care who was calling the shots.Those who are capable should do so.

But before he left, he suddenly remembered something, and whispered something in Yan Sanbai's ear.Yan Sanbai nodded seriously when he heard the words, but from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Yan approaching, his handsome face magnified infinitely in front of his eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Li Yan blinked, and forced the two to separate with one head.

Guan Qingci was very inexplicable, glanced at Yan Sanbai, Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose and smiled apologetically, but then froze again - why is he sorry?

Guan Qing left, but Li Yan was still sticking behind Yan Sanbai, leaning his head on his shoulder, "What were you whispering just now?"

Yan Sanbai felt a little itchy with hot air on his ears.Li Yan always likes to get so close, as if teasing him, but it also gives Yan Sanbai a sense of danger.That kind of danger is not life-threatening, but... I don't know how to describe it, a very aggressive feeling.He subconsciously took a step forward, but Li Yan held him back, "Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Everyone around looked at them, Yan Sanbai pulled Li Yan aside, and said softly, "Master Guan told me that when Li Mao died just now, he felt that someone was watching from the dark and asked me to pay attention."

Hearing this, Li Yan showed the original expression, but then raised his eyebrows, "You seem to have a good relationship?"

Yan Sanbai was stunned for a moment—what is the context of this?

At this time, the county magistrate Cai came back with the only old doctor in the village, and the doctor was shocked when he saw Li Mao's body for the first time.After Yan Sanbai comforted him, he stretched out his trembling and withered hands to examine carefully.But the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

After a while, he sighed, and said: "This kind of poison has not appeared for a long time. It is called Jieyang poison. The poisoned person looks like crazy. The poison takes a short time and will die in less than half an hour."

"The old man seems to know this poison very well?" Yan Sanbai asked.

"My lord may not understand that this poison is unique to our Daqing Mountain. It comes from a herb called Jieyangcao. It can be used with caution, but it can become highly poisonous if you are not careful. So here we are People are very cautious, and generally they don’t use Cayenne chinensis casually.”

Yan Sanbai rolled his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "The medicine that Fusheng gave his mother, did you prescribe the prescription?"

The old doctor quickly waved his hands, and when he mentioned Fusheng, his face was full of sighs, "No, no, Fusheng is also a poor child. His mother has been ill for many years and is in very poor health. I, a country doctor, can't cure it. His prescription, They all went to the county to beg."

"Thank you." Sending the doctor away, Yan Sanbai told him not to tell anything about Li Mao for the time being.

As soon as the doctor left, Lao Cunzheng came back alone with Lao Cunzheng. Seeing Li Mao's body, Lao Cunzheng fell to his knees uncontrollably, with his back bent and tears flowing.

"Sorry, I have to bear part of the responsibility for this matter." Yan Sanbai was the one who brought him back, and Yan Sanbai didn't want to shirk his responsibility.

Old Village shook his head slowly, his hoarse voice was filled with exhaustion, "It's all retribution, it's retribution... Everything is the fault of that box, it's all that box!"

Li Yan winked at Lone Ding, asking him to bring a stool and a cup of warm tea to Lao Cunzheng.When people are in emotional ups and downs, it is difficult to organize sentences correctly and express what they want, but sitting down and drinking tea can effectively relieve it.

Lao Cunzheng was more sad than heartbroken at this moment. He sat down and didn't drink tea, but holding the warm teacup in his hand, the coldness rising from the bottom of his heart was relieved a bit, so that he wouldn't fall down immediately. Down.He struggled to move his eyes away from the corpse of his only son, and his thoughts wandered through the deep wrinkles on his face, bringing him back to the past that was shrouded in flames and he didn't want to mention.

One day more than ten years ago, the old village, who was in his prime, went hunting with some friends from the same village. Those friends were Zhang Yuan, Wang Dekun and Liu Daquan.The four chased a fox in the mountains, and were about to catch the fox and peel off its fur to sell for money. Unexpectedly, during the chase, they discovered a big secret.

In a hidden cave on Daqing Mountain, there is a woman hidden.A beautiful imprisoned woman in shackles.

The woman has been imprisoned for a long time, and she has lost her mind. When she saw them, she was very scared and couldn't communicate with others normally.Later, when they found someone was coming, they hid aside suspiciously. When they saw who was coming, they were all surprised, because it was actually a quiet and honest man from the same village, Zhang Qing.

A few people decided to stand still and secretly investigate what was going on, but they didn't know if they didn't check, and they were shocked when they checked.It was a time of war, and there were fleeing people everywhere outside, and the woman was originally a rich lady, who was abducted because of her beauty when fleeing, and happened to meet Zhang Qing who was going out on the way.

Zhang Qing is a bachelor. He is in his twenties and has not married a wife. It is rumored in the village that he has hidden diseases.The first time he saw the woman, he was moved, so he spent all his money to buy her, and escaped from the clutches of the devil.

However, the story did not develop in a beautiful direction. Is this a hero saving the beauty?No, it's not.

The grateful woman followed Zhang Qing. If possible, she would like to live with him in this troubled world and end this wandering life.However, maybe Zhang Qing had low self-esteem because of hidden illness. He slowly changed his mind on the way to bring the woman back to Daqing Township.

He imprisoned her, this is the woman he bought, and he will imprison her on the mountain, no matter whether she looks down on him or laughs at him, she will stay by his side forever.

He also didn't want the people in the village to know that those mean and stupid people, let them continue to be stupid.

However, what he didn't know, all of this was seen by the other four people.

Lao Cunzheng was not a villager at that time, and like the other three, he felt that this woman was a bit pitiful, so the four of them discussed whether to save her.Moreover, they regarded this matter as a secret shared by the four of them, and because they discovered the secret, they were somewhat excited, so they did not tell this matter.

However, when things got here, there was another change. If there were no subsequent incidents, the four Lao Cunzheng and the others might have become the heroes passed down by word of mouth in Daqing Township.However, there is no if.

Once, Wang Dekun secretly went to see that woman again. That woman was really beautiful. Wang Dekun had never seen such a beautiful person in Daqing Township all his life.He cautiously overtook the woman, talked to her, and brought them closer.The woman's consciousness was sometimes sober and sometimes confused. Once again, when she was sober, she told Wang Dekun that she buried a black box under a crooked tree next to the official road when she came here. All the jewels and gold and silver treasures that came out.

The beauty pass, the golden Gu, is a pass that many men can't pass in their entire lives.Wang Dekun, who loves money by nature, was immediately attracted by the box full of gold and silver, but for some reason, the other three people also knew about the box, and the four of them had a big dispute , almost fell apart.

In the end, Lao Cunzheng came forward to act as a peacemaker, and reunited the four of them, preparing to go find the box together.

But before they were happy, Zhang Qing suddenly found out about it.

Angry Zhang Qing went to settle accounts with them, threatening them not to tell about the woman, and believed that the woman belonged to him and the box belonged to him.Now, the four of them were not willing to agree, and the two sides quickly tore their faces apart.

The four decided to strike first.

They first showed weakness, and then followed Zhang Qing when he went up the mountain again, preparing to knock him out, lock him up with the woman, and set off to find the box.But I don't know what's going on, Lao Cunzheng didn't know how to strike properly, and Zhang Qing lost his breath after falling down.The other three people panicked, and Lao Cun was the most courageous one, and suddenly became vicious, and did not stop doing anything, setting fire to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces.

The fire was quickly ignited, and the four of them stood outside the fire, hearing a woman's shrill cries and crazy laughter coming from inside, and the firelight shone on their frightened faces.Yes, they were scared, and only when things really happened, did they suddenly realize that they had killed, and there were more than one of them.The countless midnight dreams since then are just the infinite extension of their inner fear.

However, they didn't know why the woman was laughing in the fire at that time. They didn't know the reason until they finally found the box after spending nearly a month.

Why did the four of them get the news of the box, why did Zhang Qing suddenly find out that they were spying on them, everything was about that woman!It's her revenge!Because there is no gold, silver or jewelry in that black box, only a letter from home that I didn't have time to send!

Everything was deliberately arranged by the woman!

The four of them figured out everything and were greatly shocked, so they returned to Daqing Township and decided not to mention the matter, and fabricated something about the fox demon to publicize it.The publicity was very successful, and the ignorant villagers only thought it was a fox demon who was angry, but did not see the truth full of human evil hidden behind it.

As for Lao Cunzheng, he brought back the black box and hid it in his home, taking it out to have a look at it from time to time.He felt a little uneasy in his heart, always felt that this matter would not just pass away, and just as he expected, a year later, the box suddenly disappeared!

The old village was worried about this, but another year passed, two years passed, and more than ten years passed, and he became the village official, but the box never appeared again.

But it's not that we don't report, the time has not yet come.Time passed, and just when Lao Cunzheng thought he would bring this matter into the coffin, the black box reappeared in front of Lao Cunzheng.

The link between Liu Fu's death and the fox was just for him to consolidate his authority, and routinely brought out the fox to frighten people, but he didn't expect the black box to appear, and it was one of the insiders who appeared back then , in front of the grave of Liu Daquan's son.

What a frightening scene this is.

From then on, Lao Cunzheng knew that the fire was about to burn again.
