Doctor, you are so cold
Chapter 24 [Case 2] The Truth Comes Out
When Yan Yunqi and Ning Wuxin rushed to Madam Qi's room, the others were already there.
Madam Qi and her maid, Jinchai, fell to the ground, curled up, spitting yellow-green bitter water from their mouths, and seemed to have died not long ago.
On the table were two unfinished bowls of bird's nest with rock sugar and an open letter.
Shen Yan had already knelt down on the ground, crying like a man in tears.
Ning Wuxin took a general inspection of the two corpses, and said to Yan Yun, "I was hit by arsenic. It should have been after drinking the poison shortly after I came back last night, and it took about two hours before I died. In other words, the death took about an hour. Before."
Yan Yunqi frowned, "Give me that letter of belief."
Ning Wuxin picked up the letter and read it quickly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He looked at Shaoyan, and Shaoyan's head drooped.
Ning Wuxin looked at Shen Yan again, seeing him crying and falling to the ground, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathy in her heart.
He held his heart in his hands and began to read.
——————————————————————————————————————
Be careful my son:
When you read this letter, your mother is no longer alive.
The mother knew that the crime was serious, and she had been burdened by her thoughts these years, and she no longer wanted to survive in this world.
In the past few months, my mother has been sleepless every night and cried every day. She just wants to take revenge, kill that beast in clothes, and has nothing else to ask for.
I'm afraid the murders in the past few days have frightened you.
Li Fengxian and Qian's couple were killed by me and Jinchai.
In the past 20 years, my mother has kept one thing in her heart, and she has never told anyone.
This worry made my mother suffer from guilt and felt very uneasy.
Mother is telling this matter now, not asking for your forgiveness, but only asking for justice for the dead Yinshuang.
Your business has grown so much that you can survive without relying on the Li family, and your mother is no longer worried about you.
Be careful, my son, you were not born by your mother.
My mother gave birth to a daughter 20 years ago.
Can you guess who that daughter is?
I was young and vigorous, and I wanted to climb up.
It's a pity that I was born in a humble family, and I can only be a concubine in the Li family, and I feel very unwilling.
According to the rules handed down by the ancestors of the Li family, if a concubine gave birth to a son, she could be supported as a concubine; if she gave birth to a daughter, her status would remain the same.
Ever since I got pregnant, all I wanted was to give birth to a son so that I could fly to the top of a branch and express my grievances to those who looked down on me.
When I was pregnant, I was always worrying about gains and losses, and I was in a bad mood.
When I was offering incense in the temple, a woman who was close to me gave me an idea and made a perfect plan for me.
The surefire solution is to make substitutions.
After the old lady teased me a few times, I couldn't help being moved. I took out all my private money and asked her to help me arrange things properly.
If the child is born as a boy, nothing will happen.
If the child is born as a girl, it will be changed immediately.
When the child was born that day, it was indeed a girl.
My heart ached so much that I couldn't stop crying, but for my own future, I made up my mind and asked the arranged midwife to change the baby immediately.
Since then, you have come to the Li family.
The girl was sent to an old couple with no children to give birth, and she was named Yinshuang.
I have been thinking about her in my heart, and I often ask my mother-in-law to pay attention to her situation.
The old couple lived in poverty, and I often helped them out, but I never dared to let Yinshuang know who was helping them.
Three years ago, the old couple died of illness. I was worried that Yinshuang would be alone and helpless, so I wrote to let her enter the mansion and be my personal maid.
From then on, mother and daughter stayed together, although they couldn't recognize each other, they also comforted my pain of lovesickness.
Unexpectedly, one day four months ago, she suddenly disappeared.
I was extremely flustered, after several inquiries, I found out that she was actually favored by Li Fengxian and given to him by the Qian couple.
No one in the Li family said anything, but everyone knew what kind of hobbies Li Fengxian, a beast, had!
I was so angry that I already wanted to die.
After much deliberation, I decided to avenge Yinshuang before I die.
So, I cheered up and dealt with the Li family well, while slowly making plans.
The relationship between Nobile and Yinshuang has always been very good.
Yinshuang disappeared, and she was also very uncomfortable.
So, I told her my plan to avenge Silver Frost together.
You can probably guess what happened next.
Zhou was Li Fengxian's personal entourage. After Yinshuang's death, he was definitely the one who handled it.
So, I asked Jinchai to give Zhou Zheng something to eat from time to time, which contained drugs that would make people unconscious, and I often pretended to be ghosts at night to scare him.
Sure enough, Zhou Zheng became ill and was insane all day long, unable to serve Li Fengxian.
Then, Jinchai and I took turns pretending to be ghosts to scare people at night, making the people in Li's mansion think it was haunted.
A month ago, while Li Fengxian was sleeping in my room, I hung up the white silk of "Cruel hatred, blood for blood", which made people in Li's house terrified, thinking that Yinshuang's ghost was coming to take revenge.
Finally, three days ago, Li Fengxian's birthday came.
That day, the whole Li Mansion was extremely lively.
I negotiated with Jinchai, and as soon as Li Fengxian came back to the house drunk, I would immediately let him drink Mongolian sweat medicine.
Li Fengxian didn't suspect him, thought it was a hangover medicine, he drank it immediately, and soon fell asleep.
After all the people who wanted to see him had come, I changed my clothes, took the key from Li Fengxian's body, and pushed him to the hut with a small cart, where he died.
Next came the Qian couple.
They sent Yinshuang to the tiger's mouth for money, and it is not a pity to die!
So, the next night, I asked Nobile to give the Qian couple a midnight snack, which contained Mongolian sweat medicine.
Then, I asked Nobile to act as a ghost, and I went to their room to kill them.
Now, all my wishes are gone, and I have no desire to continue living.
Nobile treats me like a mother, and is willing to go to the underworld with me.
Be careful, my son, now the truth is revealed, there is no place for you in the Li residence, I hope you will take good care of yourself.
Mother doesn't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that you will remember my kindness in nurturing you for 20 years, take the tablet of Yinshuang and me, and put a stick of incense for us on the anniversary of our death every year.
From now on, heaven and man will bid farewell to each other forever, hope your children will be cherished!
Mother Qi's Yingju character
——————————————————————————————————————
Yan Yunqi listened with a serious face.
He never thought that Yinshuang was the daughter of Mrs. Qi and Li Fengxian.
In this way, it is a human tragedy for a father to torture his daughter to death.
Most of the people in the room already knew the content of the letter, and they were all silent, only hearing the words of caution, the proverbs and the intermittent cries of the two wives.
Yan Yunqi didn't speak, and pulled Ning Wuxin back out.
Ning Wuxin asked cautiously, "Can you believe what was said in that letter?"
Yan Yunqi pondered for a long time, "Some are believable, but some are completely unbelievable."
There are too many doubts in the letter.
First, Madam Qi should not have hanged the white silk of "the hatred of cruelty, blood debts".
Second, there is no explanation for the Chamber of Secrets case.
Third, Jinchai is just a maid, how could she have such a good relationship with Yinshuang that she is willing to sacrifice her life for her?
Fourth, there were too many coincidences on the night of the Qian couple's death.Nobile pretending to be a ghost, just happened to run into Xiuzhao passing through the garden?If Xiu Zhao didn't show up, wouldn't anyone see that Jin Chai was playing a ghost?
The murderer must be someone who can ensure that Xiu Zhao can come to the garden when he is pretending to be a ghost, and he happened to see it!
Just as Yan Yunqi was about to explain, a few people in the room came out.
Shen Yan said to Shao Yan and Mo Yan, "After this incident, I have no face to stay in Li's house. I will pack up my things and leave immediately tomorrow morning. The two elder brothers take care of it."
Less words and silent words are not speaking.
Once this happened, Shen Yan really couldn't stay any longer.
After Shen Yan said goodbye, he also came to bid farewell to Yan Yunqi and Ning Wuxin.
His expression at this moment was full of haggardness and solemnity, without any trace of frivolity.
Yan Yunqixin and Ning Wuxin, please express your condolences carefully and cherish them.
After Shen Yan left, Yan Yunqi's expression turned serious.
The murderer is leaving tomorrow, and I... only have one day to solve the secret room case?
——————————————————————————————————————
Yan Yunqi was sitting in the room with a very ugly look on his face.
He could use his status as a prince to force Shen Yan to stay, but he couldn't convince him, nor could he get the murderer to confess.
How to be good?
Ning Wuxin walked into the room, sat beside him, and said softly, "I have checked the wall at the end of the long corridor of the ancestral hall according to the prince's order, and I saw two small holes, and the wall was also burned. It’s a bit dark. There are indeed two small holes in the wall in Shaoyan’s yard, and a nearby tree has burn marks.”
Yan Yunqi nodded.
Ning Wuxin said again, "I've also asked Chunhua about it. She had diarrhea that night, and it was indeed because of the supper given to her by Nobile. There was a big wooden basin by her own door. When she went back to the room at night, she was When I saw the tub, I thought it was my room, but I didn’t expect to go wrong, so I entered the Qian couple’s room by mistake.”
Yan Yunqi nodded again, going through everything in his heart.
There is only one thing left in the secret room.
How exactly is it done?
Ning Wuxin looked at the sky, "My lord, it's getting late, it's already evening, it's time for dinner."
Yan Yunqi nodded, "Please."
Ning Wuxin grinned, and immediately left the room to prepare dinner.
Not long after, he brought four dishes and one soup to Yan Yunqi's room.
Yan Yunqi was thinking about it, and thought of several ideas, but he couldn't figure it out.
Just as he was thinking, Ning Wuxin stuffed a bowl full of rice into his hand, "Be careful, my lord, don't break the bowl."
Yan Yunqi responded unconsciously, slowly stroking the bowl in his hand.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he stood up excitedly, "So that's the case! No wonder the fireplace is about to catch fire! So that's the case!"
Lighting a fire in the fireplace is not accidental, but necessary!
Ning Wuxin looked at him, feeling very excited, "But the mystery of the secret room has been solved?"
Yan Yunqi put down the bowl in his hand, with a calm and confident expression, "That's true."
However, how to get the murderer to confess?
——————————————————————————————————————
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Yan had already prepared the carriage, put all his belongings on it, faced the old and the young of the Li family, burst into tears, and choked up his farewell.
Yan Yunqi and Ning Wuxin were also seen off.
After Shen Yan finished his words and deeds, he was about to get into the carriage, but Yan Yunqi suddenly said, "Third young master, go slowly, there are a few things that I don't understand, and I hope the third young master can stay for a while and discuss with me."
Shen Yan quickly said, "But according to the prince's order. I just don't know what it is?"
The Li family said that some people looked at Yan Yunqi together, thinking in their hearts, the case has been solved, and you are useless at all, you are not reconciled.
Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say it.
Yan Yunqi said, "I am a little puzzled by Madam Qi's hanging of the white silk. Madam Qi said that she hung up the white silk on the night General Li stayed in her room."
Shen Yan said, "That's true. The door and windows of the room were locked that night. If someone came in, it would definitely make... General Li realize that only Mrs. Qi's hanging silk makes sense."
He could no longer refer to the two as father and mother, and his voice was choked, which made people feel sorry.
Yan Yunqi said, "The white silk was fixed on the beam with nails. If Mrs. Qi smashed a nail on the beam in the middle of the night, wouldn't General Li notice it? Why smash a nail when a matter that can be solved by tying a knot is obvious?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yan Yunqi, thinking that what he said had some truth.
Be careful not to answer, with a slightly stern expression on his face, "This...I'm afraid only the dead Mrs. Qi can explain it."
Yan Yunqi said slowly, "Before I came here, I thought of several ways to hang the white silk. When I heard that the white silk was in Madam Qi's room, the first person I suspected was naturally Madam Qi. But, Knowing that Bai Ling was hung with nails, I immediately ruled out Mrs. Qi. Who would risk being discovered and smash nails next to General Li in the middle of the night? Fix it with nails without knotting, I'm afraid There is a last resort. Because the white silk was not hung that night at all, but was put on the beam and prepared. If it is tied, people will definitely find it immediately."
A sneer appeared on Shen Yan's lips, "In my lord's opinion, who hung the white silk? And how did the white silk appear in the room the next day? The night before that, before General Li went to bed, Bai Ling isn't here yet."
Everyone looked at Yan Yunqi again.
Yan Yunqi said, "That's true. Is there anyone who can freely enter and leave Madam Qi's room without making people feel strange? Third young master, from the beginning of this case, you have always been the number one suspect in my heart."
Shen Yan said with a smile, "It turns out that the lord thinks that Madam Qi is not the murderer, but that I, a bastard who is not from the Li family, is the murderer. I want to hear why the lord said so."
Yan Yunqi said, "Since the third young master is willing, or else we all go to Madam Qi's room together. Nianzhi has prepared some things for everyone to see."
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, and immediately smiled, "That's very good."
After finishing speaking, he pulled Yan Yunqi and walked to Mrs. Qi's room first.
Everyone felt very curious and followed behind.
Once at Madam Qi's room, Yan Yunqi ordered people to close the door and windows tightly, but Ning Wuxin was not in the room.
The light in the room immediately dimmed.
Shen Yan stared at Yan Yunqi, even if you solve the mystery of Bai Ling, it's no big deal, you can't confirm that the murderer is me!
Everyone was looking at each other, when they saw a piece of white silk floating down from the beam suddenly, and the hanging end moved towards the window.
Everyone hurriedly followed the tail of the white silk, only to find that there were two thin threads at the bottom of the white silk, leading to the gap in the window and leading to the outside.
Everyone rushed to open the window, and Ning Wuxin was standing outside with scissors, cutting the thin thread in his hand.
There was no more thread at the end of the white silk, and it immediately floated back into the room, hanging obediently.
Ning Wuxin said, "One end of the white silk is fixed on the beam by a nail, folded and placed on the beam, fixed with a needle to prevent it from falling down. The lower end of the white silk is connected with a thin thread, and it is glued along the wall with something like batter. Fix it with something that is not too sticky, and go outside through the gap in the window. At night, just pull the thin thread outside the window, and the white silk will fall down. After pulling the white silk to the window, cut the thread outside, and it will No more traces."
Shen Yan said with a sneer, "This is just speculation, without evidence."
Yan Yunqi said, "There is indeed no evidence, but it seems more credible than Mrs. Qi's hanging Ling. The ones who can freely enter Mrs. Qi's room are naturally the master and the maids who are accompanying him. The third young master is Mrs. Qi's own son. Even if I stay here alone for an hour, no one will find it weird."
Everyone whispered to each other.
Yan Yunqi said, "My second question is that Jinchai is pretending to be a ghost. When Jinchai pretends to be a ghost, I happened to run into Xiuzhao passing through the garden? If Xiuzhao doesn't show up, it's not like no one will see Jinchai. Is the hairpin pretending to be a ghost? Then what’s the point of the golden hairpin pretending to be a ghost?”
Shen Yan's eyes froze, then he smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence, don't be so suspicious."
Yan Yunqi said with a smile, "If I were a murderer and wanted to pretend to be a ghost to be discovered by others, I would naturally have to try to be seen by others. Would I be walking up and down the hallway of the ancestral hall in the middle of the night until people found out?"
Mo Yan asked aloud, "What does the lord mean, that Shen Yan deliberately asked Xiu Zhao to go to the toilet in the garden?"
Yan Yunqi nodded slowly, "That's right. Shen Yan pretended to be a ghost while letting Xiu Zhao discover the ghost."
Shen Yan laughed loudly when he heard the words, "The prince's words are so unreasonable. I have been in the young master's yard, and Xiu Zhao saw it. How can I have time to pretend to be a ghost? Could it be that I know the avatar technique?"
Yan Yunqi took a deep breath, "That's right, you just know how to clone yourself!"
At this time, Ning Wuxin had already come to the room, and said to Yan Yun, "Yizhao's place is ready."
Yan Yunqi nodded, and said loudly, "Will everyone come to the ancestral hall to see the female ghost with me?"
After speaking, he and Ning Wuxin left first.
Everyone was in an uproar and followed closely behind.
Mo Yan looked at Shen Yan and didn't speak.
Shen Yan let out a cold snort, and followed the crowd out.
——————————————————————————————————————
Everyone came to the long corridor of the ancestral hall, but they didn't see any female ghosts, they looked at each other in blank dismay.
Ning Wuxin pointed to the top of the corridor. When everyone looked over, they saw something stuck on a beam of the corridor, which seemed to have black hair and white cloth.
There are also two ropes attached to that beam that lead to the wall at the end of the corridor.
(For this, please refer to the picture of "The author has something to say" and look at it together. Look at the picture first to understand it better.)
Suddenly, the two ropes turned.
With the rotation of the rope, the clump of things on the beam fell down. It turned out to be a shelf with black hair and a white dress hanging on the top of the shelf.
The top of the "female ghost" was fixed on the rope, and when the rope turned, the shelf with the hair and dress moved accordingly, moving towards the servants' yard.
Xiu Zhao shouted, "That's right! That's what I saw that night! It's not wrong at all!"
Yan Yunqi said, "Now, everyone, please follow me to the young master's yard to see what's going on."
Everyone was already curious and followed.
When I came to a corner of the Shaoyan Courtyard, I saw two small holes in a dilapidated part of the wall. Two ropes protruded in and were looped around a tree by the wall.
Liu Yizhao pulled the rope, and everyone realized that it was his pulling that made the 'ghost' in the corridor move.
Shaoyan frowned, "In this way, the 'female ghost' won't be able to move when it reaches the wall in the servant's yard, won't it be discovered?"
Yan Yunqi said, "Speak less and don't forget. There is a brazier under the corner of the servant's yard, and above the brazier are three ever-burning lamps."
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly realized, "That's it! Just coat the robe, hair, frame and rope with fire-igniting oil, and as soon as the robe floats to the corner, the three ever-burning lamps will immediately ignite everything, and it will be burnt." None left."
Yan Yunqi nodded, "Exactly."
Most of the people still couldn't understand what happened, Yan Yunqi led them back to the corridor immediately.
Under everyone's gaze, the "female ghost" floated towards the corner of the servant's yard at the end of the corridor.
In the corner, above the brazier, there are three burning lamps.
As soon as the "female ghost" reached the corner, the white robe was immediately ignited, the hair, the frame made of paper and the rope also burned at the same time, and after a while there was nothing left, only black ash floating in the air.
Everyone looked at Shen Yan in unison. According to this method, Shen Yan was indeed the No. 1 choice for the murderer.
Shen Yan's face was very ugly.
Yan Yunqi said, "After the second watch, you set up everything first. You let everyone eat something with diarrhea, then went to the toilet and drove Xiu Zhao to the toilet in the garden, and then stood guard at the door of Shaoyan. As soon as Xiu Zhao came out , you can see it, go back immediately and pull the rope to let the 'female ghost' float down. Naturally, Xiu Zhao was frightened and ran to the yard, but your things were burning, so you couldn't let Xiu Zhao enter the yard, so you blocked Xiu Zhao at the door, Ask him to make tea."
He paused, "To make this method successful, no one else can do it except you."
Shen Yan said with a smile, "The prince's words are just guesswork, there is no conclusive evidence at all."
Ning Wuxin sneered, "Yizhao, the third young master's wrist looks very uncomfortable, and he has been afraid to touch things. You can open his sleeve and have a look, what's going on?"
Shen Yan was startled, and just about to reprimand him angrily, Liu Yizhao had already grabbed his wrist, and Shen Yan immediately cried out in pain.
Liu Yizhao pulled his sleeve away, and there was a serious burn on his wrist, and everyone was in an uproar.
Ning Wuxin said, "Third young master, it's not you, how did you get this burn?! Playing with fire, don't you understand this truth?!"
Shen Yan panted heavily, but did not speak.
After a long time, he suddenly let out a sneer, "My lord is so tricky! What will happen next? What did I do?"
Yan Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said cautiously that he didn't intend to continue to quibble.
He murmured, "It is true that you have given the Qian couple a long time ago to inject Mongolian sweat medicine. At four o'clock, you came out of Shaoyan's room, and immediately went to the Qian couple's room, and killed them. Before leaving, you put The big wooden barrel in front of Chunhua's room was moved to the front of the Qian couple's room. You know that Chunhua also took laxatives, so she must come out to go to the toilet at night. You just want her to find out as soon as possible."
Shen Yan was silent for a long time, and everyone listened nervously, feeling that the whole thing was even more unbelievable.
Shen Yan looked at Yan Yunqi, and suddenly burst out laughing, "I thought the whole plan was perfect, but I let you, a blind man, see the clues. What about the small secret room? Have you already got the answer?"
Mo Yan immediately slapped him across the face and cursed, "You dare to insult the prince, you really deserve to die!"
Yan Yunqi hurriedly gestured to stop it, "The case of the secret room really took a toll on my mind."
The corner of Shen Yan's mouth was bleeding, but he didn't look at Mo Yan at all, and stared at Yan Yunqi, smiling a little crazy, "If you can explain the secret room case, I will tell you everything."
Yan Yunqi pondered for a while, and said a word, "Bing."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.
Shen Yan's face was ashen, and after a long time, he couldn't stop laughing, "My lord is so amazing! I'm so convinced today!"
After finishing speaking, he smiled, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and murmured, "Yin Shuang, Yin Shuang..."
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
Shaoyan couldn't help asking, "I don't know what's going on with the secret room case? How did the key get into my father's mouth and lock the door? I hope the prince will explain it clearly."
Ning Wuxin whispered, "The secret room is ready."
Yan Yunqi nodded, ordered the guards to watch over Shen Yan, and led everyone to the hut in the secluded yard.
——————————————————————————————————————
Everyone came to this place again, and once again remembered the weirdness and horror of that night, everyone remained silent.
Zhenci trembled, and couldn't help hugging Aunt Tian's arm tightly.
Yinshuang shares her life, fortunately her mother did not replace her, otherwise, she might be the one who was tortured to death in this hut.
There was already a "corpse" in the hut.
Liu Yizhao turned his face and greeted everyone with a smile.
Everyone was caught by this weird scene, and no one laughed.
Yan Yunqi said, "Let's begin."
After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to fetch a piece of ice, which was a semicircle about half the size of a fist, with grooves on it.
There is also a hole in the middle of the fast ice cube, and a long line runs through it.
He showed the ice cube to everyone, and then handed it to one of his guards.
The guards began to demonstrate under Yan Yunqi's explanation.
"The murderer first killed General Lee, and then stuffed ice cubes into his mouth, with the groove facing up. Then, he pulled both ends of the wire and tied them to the iron rod of the window. Then, he took the key Come out and lock the door."
The proverb says, "What about the key? How does it fit in his mouth?"
The guard pulled off a thin thread tied to the iron rod, and threaded the hole of the key through the thread, and the key slid down the west line and fell into Liu Yizhao's mouth.His mouth was already opened by the ice, and the key fell smoothly into the groove of the ice.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Then, the guard raised a small arrow from the side, ignited the arrow, and shot it into the fireplace. The fireplace was already full of oil, and it immediately burst into flames.
Liu Yizhao's head was already near the flames, but after a while, the ice in his mouth melted into water and flowed out along the corner of his mouth.
The key naturally remained in his mouth.
Everyone looked at the blazing flames, and everyone felt unreal like in a dream.
What is the purpose of such a case where five people died?
——————————————————————————————————————
Shen Yan was brought in front of Yan Yunqi and knelt on the ground.
He seemed to be still immersed in his own world, staring at Yan Yunqi, but his eyes seemed to pass through him without focus.
Yan Yunqi pondered, "Shen Yan, what are you doing all these things for?"
Shen Yan did not speak, and the people around him were also very silent, no one urged him.
After a long time, Shen Yan murmured, choked with sobs, "You really can't look at someone for too long. If you look at someone for too long, you'll fall in love with it..."
It turned out that Shen Yan had discovered something was wrong with Mrs. Qi five years ago.
He bribed the wife who worked for Mrs. Qi, and only then did he realize that he was not her biological child.
When he heard the news at the time, he was struck by lightning and was furious. He started going in and out of brothels to get drunk, but he was very worried that his identity would be exposed, so he kept observing Yinshuang.
After observing and observing, he actually had a little thought for her.
Yinshuang has been like everyone since she was a child, she is dignified and gentle, and she is also beautiful.
Shen Yan pays more and more attention to her day by day, and in the end he gradually feels a little bit in love with her.
Three years ago, Madam Qi brought Yinshuang into the mansion, Shen Yan was shocked, but also very happy.
He was Madam Qi's son in name, so he naturally had many opportunities to get in touch with Yinshuang.
The two have been in contact for a long time, and their feelings have secretly grown, and they both have meaning for each other.
Shen Yan knew that Yinshuang was the serious young lady, and he was not worthy of her at all.
However, on the face of it, Yinshuang is a maid.
As the young master of the Li family, he naturally cannot marry her.
So, with careful words and deliberations, he began to focus on business.
One day if he can make money, he can fly away with Yinshuang.
He socializes a lot in the business field every day, and the places he goes and goes are feasting and feasting, so his reputation is naturally not good.
However, the two were determined towards each other, and they both spread their wings and flew high as soon as their wings hardened.
Four months ago, Shen Yan went out for half a month to deal with business matters.
After returning, he found that Yinshuang was missing.
Shocked, he began to inquire everywhere, but he found out that Yinshuang had been tortured to death by his nominal father.
He couldn't react for a while, so he asked Mrs. Qi what was going on that night, and told him that he knew Yinshuang was her biological daughter.
Madam Qi was terrified, and told him crying that she was sorry for the two of them.
After the master took a fancy to Yinshuang, he mentioned it to himself, but she was afraid that her son-changing incident would be revealed, so she didn't dare to stop Li Fengxian.
After finishing speaking, she kept crying, saying how regretful she was, how guilty she was, and was tortured by guilt all night.
After listening to Shen Yan, his heart was extremely cold, and he hated this woman to the extreme.
While pretending to comfort his wife, he started his revenge plan.
After finishing everything, Shen Yan fell into a sluggish state again.
Yan Yunqi said, "Where is the golden hairpin? What's wrong with her? Why did you kill her?"
Shen Yan sneered, "I have always warned Yinshuang to stay away from Li Fengxian. She has been careful for three years and never let him notice. Do you know why she attracted Li Fengxian's attention? It was because the girl Jinchai pushed her on purpose She feels that Madam Qi and I both love Yinshuang, and are very jealous of her, and have harbored ill intentions towards her long ago! If it weren't for her, how could Yinshuang attract Li Fengxian's attention!"
Therefore, he pretended to be good friends with Jinchai, coaxing her to marry her as a concubine in the future and let her do things for him.
The medicine for diarrhea and even the bird's nest soup with rock sugar added with arsenic were all prepared by Nobile, and she sent it to everyone in the name of Mrs. Qi.
In the end, he said slowly word by word, "Li Fengxian abused his own daughter, the Qian couple saw Qian's eye open, Mrs. Qi abandoned family affection, and the poison of the gold hairpin woman, these people should be killed! They should be killed! They should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! Even if I eat its flesh raw, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
Shen Yan was finally taken away.
Everyone in Li's residence seemed to still hear the countless sentences of "deserving to be killed" lingering in the roof beams, which could not dissipate for a long time.

"Xiangyan Yun Qi Biography"
In the sixth year of Tianqi, Yan Yunqi solved the case of the murder of Li Fengxian, a mighty general of the first rank.
The case was so confusing that it was called one of the strange cases at the time.
After Yan Yunqi solved the case, he asked to amend the law, and the master could not kill the servants he bought casually.
Although Emperor Wende didn't express his position at the time, he secretly began to support Yan Yunqi's side.
Five years later, the faction of Xiang's relatives was wiped out, and Emperor Wende vigorously promoted the new law.
From then on, if a servant who was bought was killed by his master, it would be dealt with as a general homicide case.
Madam Qi and her maid, Jinchai, fell to the ground, curled up, spitting yellow-green bitter water from their mouths, and seemed to have died not long ago.
On the table were two unfinished bowls of bird's nest with rock sugar and an open letter.
Shen Yan had already knelt down on the ground, crying like a man in tears.
Ning Wuxin took a general inspection of the two corpses, and said to Yan Yun, "I was hit by arsenic. It should have been after drinking the poison shortly after I came back last night, and it took about two hours before I died. In other words, the death took about an hour. Before."
Yan Yunqi frowned, "Give me that letter of belief."
Ning Wuxin picked up the letter and read it quickly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He looked at Shaoyan, and Shaoyan's head drooped.
Ning Wuxin looked at Shen Yan again, seeing him crying and falling to the ground, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathy in her heart.
He held his heart in his hands and began to read.
——————————————————————————————————————
Be careful my son:
When you read this letter, your mother is no longer alive.
The mother knew that the crime was serious, and she had been burdened by her thoughts these years, and she no longer wanted to survive in this world.
In the past few months, my mother has been sleepless every night and cried every day. She just wants to take revenge, kill that beast in clothes, and has nothing else to ask for.
I'm afraid the murders in the past few days have frightened you.
Li Fengxian and Qian's couple were killed by me and Jinchai.
In the past 20 years, my mother has kept one thing in her heart, and she has never told anyone.
This worry made my mother suffer from guilt and felt very uneasy.
Mother is telling this matter now, not asking for your forgiveness, but only asking for justice for the dead Yinshuang.
Your business has grown so much that you can survive without relying on the Li family, and your mother is no longer worried about you.
Be careful, my son, you were not born by your mother.
My mother gave birth to a daughter 20 years ago.
Can you guess who that daughter is?
I was young and vigorous, and I wanted to climb up.
It's a pity that I was born in a humble family, and I can only be a concubine in the Li family, and I feel very unwilling.
According to the rules handed down by the ancestors of the Li family, if a concubine gave birth to a son, she could be supported as a concubine; if she gave birth to a daughter, her status would remain the same.
Ever since I got pregnant, all I wanted was to give birth to a son so that I could fly to the top of a branch and express my grievances to those who looked down on me.
When I was pregnant, I was always worrying about gains and losses, and I was in a bad mood.
When I was offering incense in the temple, a woman who was close to me gave me an idea and made a perfect plan for me.
The surefire solution is to make substitutions.
After the old lady teased me a few times, I couldn't help being moved. I took out all my private money and asked her to help me arrange things properly.
If the child is born as a boy, nothing will happen.
If the child is born as a girl, it will be changed immediately.
When the child was born that day, it was indeed a girl.
My heart ached so much that I couldn't stop crying, but for my own future, I made up my mind and asked the arranged midwife to change the baby immediately.
Since then, you have come to the Li family.
The girl was sent to an old couple with no children to give birth, and she was named Yinshuang.
I have been thinking about her in my heart, and I often ask my mother-in-law to pay attention to her situation.
The old couple lived in poverty, and I often helped them out, but I never dared to let Yinshuang know who was helping them.
Three years ago, the old couple died of illness. I was worried that Yinshuang would be alone and helpless, so I wrote to let her enter the mansion and be my personal maid.
From then on, mother and daughter stayed together, although they couldn't recognize each other, they also comforted my pain of lovesickness.
Unexpectedly, one day four months ago, she suddenly disappeared.
I was extremely flustered, after several inquiries, I found out that she was actually favored by Li Fengxian and given to him by the Qian couple.
No one in the Li family said anything, but everyone knew what kind of hobbies Li Fengxian, a beast, had!
I was so angry that I already wanted to die.
After much deliberation, I decided to avenge Yinshuang before I die.
So, I cheered up and dealt with the Li family well, while slowly making plans.
The relationship between Nobile and Yinshuang has always been very good.
Yinshuang disappeared, and she was also very uncomfortable.
So, I told her my plan to avenge Silver Frost together.
You can probably guess what happened next.
Zhou was Li Fengxian's personal entourage. After Yinshuang's death, he was definitely the one who handled it.
So, I asked Jinchai to give Zhou Zheng something to eat from time to time, which contained drugs that would make people unconscious, and I often pretended to be ghosts at night to scare him.
Sure enough, Zhou Zheng became ill and was insane all day long, unable to serve Li Fengxian.
Then, Jinchai and I took turns pretending to be ghosts to scare people at night, making the people in Li's mansion think it was haunted.
A month ago, while Li Fengxian was sleeping in my room, I hung up the white silk of "Cruel hatred, blood for blood", which made people in Li's house terrified, thinking that Yinshuang's ghost was coming to take revenge.
Finally, three days ago, Li Fengxian's birthday came.
That day, the whole Li Mansion was extremely lively.
I negotiated with Jinchai, and as soon as Li Fengxian came back to the house drunk, I would immediately let him drink Mongolian sweat medicine.
Li Fengxian didn't suspect him, thought it was a hangover medicine, he drank it immediately, and soon fell asleep.
After all the people who wanted to see him had come, I changed my clothes, took the key from Li Fengxian's body, and pushed him to the hut with a small cart, where he died.
Next came the Qian couple.
They sent Yinshuang to the tiger's mouth for money, and it is not a pity to die!
So, the next night, I asked Nobile to give the Qian couple a midnight snack, which contained Mongolian sweat medicine.
Then, I asked Nobile to act as a ghost, and I went to their room to kill them.
Now, all my wishes are gone, and I have no desire to continue living.
Nobile treats me like a mother, and is willing to go to the underworld with me.
Be careful, my son, now the truth is revealed, there is no place for you in the Li residence, I hope you will take good care of yourself.
Mother doesn't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that you will remember my kindness in nurturing you for 20 years, take the tablet of Yinshuang and me, and put a stick of incense for us on the anniversary of our death every year.
From now on, heaven and man will bid farewell to each other forever, hope your children will be cherished!
Mother Qi's Yingju character
——————————————————————————————————————
Yan Yunqi listened with a serious face.
He never thought that Yinshuang was the daughter of Mrs. Qi and Li Fengxian.
In this way, it is a human tragedy for a father to torture his daughter to death.
Most of the people in the room already knew the content of the letter, and they were all silent, only hearing the words of caution, the proverbs and the intermittent cries of the two wives.
Yan Yunqi didn't speak, and pulled Ning Wuxin back out.
Ning Wuxin asked cautiously, "Can you believe what was said in that letter?"
Yan Yunqi pondered for a long time, "Some are believable, but some are completely unbelievable."
There are too many doubts in the letter.
First, Madam Qi should not have hanged the white silk of "the hatred of cruelty, blood debts".
Second, there is no explanation for the Chamber of Secrets case.
Third, Jinchai is just a maid, how could she have such a good relationship with Yinshuang that she is willing to sacrifice her life for her?
Fourth, there were too many coincidences on the night of the Qian couple's death.Nobile pretending to be a ghost, just happened to run into Xiuzhao passing through the garden?If Xiu Zhao didn't show up, wouldn't anyone see that Jin Chai was playing a ghost?
The murderer must be someone who can ensure that Xiu Zhao can come to the garden when he is pretending to be a ghost, and he happened to see it!
Just as Yan Yunqi was about to explain, a few people in the room came out.
Shen Yan said to Shao Yan and Mo Yan, "After this incident, I have no face to stay in Li's house. I will pack up my things and leave immediately tomorrow morning. The two elder brothers take care of it."
Less words and silent words are not speaking.
Once this happened, Shen Yan really couldn't stay any longer.
After Shen Yan said goodbye, he also came to bid farewell to Yan Yunqi and Ning Wuxin.
His expression at this moment was full of haggardness and solemnity, without any trace of frivolity.
Yan Yunqixin and Ning Wuxin, please express your condolences carefully and cherish them.
After Shen Yan left, Yan Yunqi's expression turned serious.
The murderer is leaving tomorrow, and I... only have one day to solve the secret room case?
——————————————————————————————————————
Yan Yunqi was sitting in the room with a very ugly look on his face.
He could use his status as a prince to force Shen Yan to stay, but he couldn't convince him, nor could he get the murderer to confess.
How to be good?
Ning Wuxin walked into the room, sat beside him, and said softly, "I have checked the wall at the end of the long corridor of the ancestral hall according to the prince's order, and I saw two small holes, and the wall was also burned. It’s a bit dark. There are indeed two small holes in the wall in Shaoyan’s yard, and a nearby tree has burn marks.”
Yan Yunqi nodded.
Ning Wuxin said again, "I've also asked Chunhua about it. She had diarrhea that night, and it was indeed because of the supper given to her by Nobile. There was a big wooden basin by her own door. When she went back to the room at night, she was When I saw the tub, I thought it was my room, but I didn’t expect to go wrong, so I entered the Qian couple’s room by mistake.”
Yan Yunqi nodded again, going through everything in his heart.
There is only one thing left in the secret room.
How exactly is it done?
Ning Wuxin looked at the sky, "My lord, it's getting late, it's already evening, it's time for dinner."
Yan Yunqi nodded, "Please."
Ning Wuxin grinned, and immediately left the room to prepare dinner.
Not long after, he brought four dishes and one soup to Yan Yunqi's room.
Yan Yunqi was thinking about it, and thought of several ideas, but he couldn't figure it out.
Just as he was thinking, Ning Wuxin stuffed a bowl full of rice into his hand, "Be careful, my lord, don't break the bowl."
Yan Yunqi responded unconsciously, slowly stroking the bowl in his hand.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he stood up excitedly, "So that's the case! No wonder the fireplace is about to catch fire! So that's the case!"
Lighting a fire in the fireplace is not accidental, but necessary!
Ning Wuxin looked at him, feeling very excited, "But the mystery of the secret room has been solved?"
Yan Yunqi put down the bowl in his hand, with a calm and confident expression, "That's true."
However, how to get the murderer to confess?
——————————————————————————————————————
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Yan had already prepared the carriage, put all his belongings on it, faced the old and the young of the Li family, burst into tears, and choked up his farewell.
Yan Yunqi and Ning Wuxin were also seen off.
After Shen Yan finished his words and deeds, he was about to get into the carriage, but Yan Yunqi suddenly said, "Third young master, go slowly, there are a few things that I don't understand, and I hope the third young master can stay for a while and discuss with me."
Shen Yan quickly said, "But according to the prince's order. I just don't know what it is?"
The Li family said that some people looked at Yan Yunqi together, thinking in their hearts, the case has been solved, and you are useless at all, you are not reconciled.
Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say it.
Yan Yunqi said, "I am a little puzzled by Madam Qi's hanging of the white silk. Madam Qi said that she hung up the white silk on the night General Li stayed in her room."
Shen Yan said, "That's true. The door and windows of the room were locked that night. If someone came in, it would definitely make... General Li realize that only Mrs. Qi's hanging silk makes sense."
He could no longer refer to the two as father and mother, and his voice was choked, which made people feel sorry.
Yan Yunqi said, "The white silk was fixed on the beam with nails. If Mrs. Qi smashed a nail on the beam in the middle of the night, wouldn't General Li notice it? Why smash a nail when a matter that can be solved by tying a knot is obvious?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yan Yunqi, thinking that what he said had some truth.
Be careful not to answer, with a slightly stern expression on his face, "This...I'm afraid only the dead Mrs. Qi can explain it."
Yan Yunqi said slowly, "Before I came here, I thought of several ways to hang the white silk. When I heard that the white silk was in Madam Qi's room, the first person I suspected was naturally Madam Qi. But, Knowing that Bai Ling was hung with nails, I immediately ruled out Mrs. Qi. Who would risk being discovered and smash nails next to General Li in the middle of the night? Fix it with nails without knotting, I'm afraid There is a last resort. Because the white silk was not hung that night at all, but was put on the beam and prepared. If it is tied, people will definitely find it immediately."
A sneer appeared on Shen Yan's lips, "In my lord's opinion, who hung the white silk? And how did the white silk appear in the room the next day? The night before that, before General Li went to bed, Bai Ling isn't here yet."
Everyone looked at Yan Yunqi again.
Yan Yunqi said, "That's true. Is there anyone who can freely enter and leave Madam Qi's room without making people feel strange? Third young master, from the beginning of this case, you have always been the number one suspect in my heart."
Shen Yan said with a smile, "It turns out that the lord thinks that Madam Qi is not the murderer, but that I, a bastard who is not from the Li family, is the murderer. I want to hear why the lord said so."
Yan Yunqi said, "Since the third young master is willing, or else we all go to Madam Qi's room together. Nianzhi has prepared some things for everyone to see."
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, and immediately smiled, "That's very good."
After finishing speaking, he pulled Yan Yunqi and walked to Mrs. Qi's room first.
Everyone felt very curious and followed behind.
Once at Madam Qi's room, Yan Yunqi ordered people to close the door and windows tightly, but Ning Wuxin was not in the room.
The light in the room immediately dimmed.
Shen Yan stared at Yan Yunqi, even if you solve the mystery of Bai Ling, it's no big deal, you can't confirm that the murderer is me!
Everyone was looking at each other, when they saw a piece of white silk floating down from the beam suddenly, and the hanging end moved towards the window.
Everyone hurriedly followed the tail of the white silk, only to find that there were two thin threads at the bottom of the white silk, leading to the gap in the window and leading to the outside.
Everyone rushed to open the window, and Ning Wuxin was standing outside with scissors, cutting the thin thread in his hand.
There was no more thread at the end of the white silk, and it immediately floated back into the room, hanging obediently.
Ning Wuxin said, "One end of the white silk is fixed on the beam by a nail, folded and placed on the beam, fixed with a needle to prevent it from falling down. The lower end of the white silk is connected with a thin thread, and it is glued along the wall with something like batter. Fix it with something that is not too sticky, and go outside through the gap in the window. At night, just pull the thin thread outside the window, and the white silk will fall down. After pulling the white silk to the window, cut the thread outside, and it will No more traces."
Shen Yan said with a sneer, "This is just speculation, without evidence."
Yan Yunqi said, "There is indeed no evidence, but it seems more credible than Mrs. Qi's hanging Ling. The ones who can freely enter Mrs. Qi's room are naturally the master and the maids who are accompanying him. The third young master is Mrs. Qi's own son. Even if I stay here alone for an hour, no one will find it weird."
Everyone whispered to each other.
Yan Yunqi said, "My second question is that Jinchai is pretending to be a ghost. When Jinchai pretends to be a ghost, I happened to run into Xiuzhao passing through the garden? If Xiuzhao doesn't show up, it's not like no one will see Jinchai. Is the hairpin pretending to be a ghost? Then what’s the point of the golden hairpin pretending to be a ghost?”
Shen Yan's eyes froze, then he smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence, don't be so suspicious."
Yan Yunqi said with a smile, "If I were a murderer and wanted to pretend to be a ghost to be discovered by others, I would naturally have to try to be seen by others. Would I be walking up and down the hallway of the ancestral hall in the middle of the night until people found out?"
Mo Yan asked aloud, "What does the lord mean, that Shen Yan deliberately asked Xiu Zhao to go to the toilet in the garden?"
Yan Yunqi nodded slowly, "That's right. Shen Yan pretended to be a ghost while letting Xiu Zhao discover the ghost."
Shen Yan laughed loudly when he heard the words, "The prince's words are so unreasonable. I have been in the young master's yard, and Xiu Zhao saw it. How can I have time to pretend to be a ghost? Could it be that I know the avatar technique?"
Yan Yunqi took a deep breath, "That's right, you just know how to clone yourself!"
At this time, Ning Wuxin had already come to the room, and said to Yan Yun, "Yizhao's place is ready."
Yan Yunqi nodded, and said loudly, "Will everyone come to the ancestral hall to see the female ghost with me?"
After speaking, he and Ning Wuxin left first.
Everyone was in an uproar and followed closely behind.
Mo Yan looked at Shen Yan and didn't speak.
Shen Yan let out a cold snort, and followed the crowd out.
——————————————————————————————————————
Everyone came to the long corridor of the ancestral hall, but they didn't see any female ghosts, they looked at each other in blank dismay.
Ning Wuxin pointed to the top of the corridor. When everyone looked over, they saw something stuck on a beam of the corridor, which seemed to have black hair and white cloth.
There are also two ropes attached to that beam that lead to the wall at the end of the corridor.
(For this, please refer to the picture of "The author has something to say" and look at it together. Look at the picture first to understand it better.)
Suddenly, the two ropes turned.
With the rotation of the rope, the clump of things on the beam fell down. It turned out to be a shelf with black hair and a white dress hanging on the top of the shelf.
The top of the "female ghost" was fixed on the rope, and when the rope turned, the shelf with the hair and dress moved accordingly, moving towards the servants' yard.
Xiu Zhao shouted, "That's right! That's what I saw that night! It's not wrong at all!"
Yan Yunqi said, "Now, everyone, please follow me to the young master's yard to see what's going on."
Everyone was already curious and followed.
When I came to a corner of the Shaoyan Courtyard, I saw two small holes in a dilapidated part of the wall. Two ropes protruded in and were looped around a tree by the wall.
Liu Yizhao pulled the rope, and everyone realized that it was his pulling that made the 'ghost' in the corridor move.
Shaoyan frowned, "In this way, the 'female ghost' won't be able to move when it reaches the wall in the servant's yard, won't it be discovered?"
Yan Yunqi said, "Speak less and don't forget. There is a brazier under the corner of the servant's yard, and above the brazier are three ever-burning lamps."
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly realized, "That's it! Just coat the robe, hair, frame and rope with fire-igniting oil, and as soon as the robe floats to the corner, the three ever-burning lamps will immediately ignite everything, and it will be burnt." None left."
Yan Yunqi nodded, "Exactly."
Most of the people still couldn't understand what happened, Yan Yunqi led them back to the corridor immediately.
Under everyone's gaze, the "female ghost" floated towards the corner of the servant's yard at the end of the corridor.
In the corner, above the brazier, there are three burning lamps.
As soon as the "female ghost" reached the corner, the white robe was immediately ignited, the hair, the frame made of paper and the rope also burned at the same time, and after a while there was nothing left, only black ash floating in the air.
Everyone looked at Shen Yan in unison. According to this method, Shen Yan was indeed the No. 1 choice for the murderer.
Shen Yan's face was very ugly.
Yan Yunqi said, "After the second watch, you set up everything first. You let everyone eat something with diarrhea, then went to the toilet and drove Xiu Zhao to the toilet in the garden, and then stood guard at the door of Shaoyan. As soon as Xiu Zhao came out , you can see it, go back immediately and pull the rope to let the 'female ghost' float down. Naturally, Xiu Zhao was frightened and ran to the yard, but your things were burning, so you couldn't let Xiu Zhao enter the yard, so you blocked Xiu Zhao at the door, Ask him to make tea."
He paused, "To make this method successful, no one else can do it except you."
Shen Yan said with a smile, "The prince's words are just guesswork, there is no conclusive evidence at all."
Ning Wuxin sneered, "Yizhao, the third young master's wrist looks very uncomfortable, and he has been afraid to touch things. You can open his sleeve and have a look, what's going on?"
Shen Yan was startled, and just about to reprimand him angrily, Liu Yizhao had already grabbed his wrist, and Shen Yan immediately cried out in pain.
Liu Yizhao pulled his sleeve away, and there was a serious burn on his wrist, and everyone was in an uproar.
Ning Wuxin said, "Third young master, it's not you, how did you get this burn?! Playing with fire, don't you understand this truth?!"
Shen Yan panted heavily, but did not speak.
After a long time, he suddenly let out a sneer, "My lord is so tricky! What will happen next? What did I do?"
Yan Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said cautiously that he didn't intend to continue to quibble.
He murmured, "It is true that you have given the Qian couple a long time ago to inject Mongolian sweat medicine. At four o'clock, you came out of Shaoyan's room, and immediately went to the Qian couple's room, and killed them. Before leaving, you put The big wooden barrel in front of Chunhua's room was moved to the front of the Qian couple's room. You know that Chunhua also took laxatives, so she must come out to go to the toilet at night. You just want her to find out as soon as possible."
Shen Yan was silent for a long time, and everyone listened nervously, feeling that the whole thing was even more unbelievable.
Shen Yan looked at Yan Yunqi, and suddenly burst out laughing, "I thought the whole plan was perfect, but I let you, a blind man, see the clues. What about the small secret room? Have you already got the answer?"
Mo Yan immediately slapped him across the face and cursed, "You dare to insult the prince, you really deserve to die!"
Yan Yunqi hurriedly gestured to stop it, "The case of the secret room really took a toll on my mind."
The corner of Shen Yan's mouth was bleeding, but he didn't look at Mo Yan at all, and stared at Yan Yunqi, smiling a little crazy, "If you can explain the secret room case, I will tell you everything."
Yan Yunqi pondered for a while, and said a word, "Bing."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.
Shen Yan's face was ashen, and after a long time, he couldn't stop laughing, "My lord is so amazing! I'm so convinced today!"
After finishing speaking, he smiled, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and murmured, "Yin Shuang, Yin Shuang..."
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
Shaoyan couldn't help asking, "I don't know what's going on with the secret room case? How did the key get into my father's mouth and lock the door? I hope the prince will explain it clearly."
Ning Wuxin whispered, "The secret room is ready."
Yan Yunqi nodded, ordered the guards to watch over Shen Yan, and led everyone to the hut in the secluded yard.
——————————————————————————————————————
Everyone came to this place again, and once again remembered the weirdness and horror of that night, everyone remained silent.
Zhenci trembled, and couldn't help hugging Aunt Tian's arm tightly.
Yinshuang shares her life, fortunately her mother did not replace her, otherwise, she might be the one who was tortured to death in this hut.
There was already a "corpse" in the hut.
Liu Yizhao turned his face and greeted everyone with a smile.
Everyone was caught by this weird scene, and no one laughed.
Yan Yunqi said, "Let's begin."
After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to fetch a piece of ice, which was a semicircle about half the size of a fist, with grooves on it.
There is also a hole in the middle of the fast ice cube, and a long line runs through it.
He showed the ice cube to everyone, and then handed it to one of his guards.
The guards began to demonstrate under Yan Yunqi's explanation.
"The murderer first killed General Lee, and then stuffed ice cubes into his mouth, with the groove facing up. Then, he pulled both ends of the wire and tied them to the iron rod of the window. Then, he took the key Come out and lock the door."
The proverb says, "What about the key? How does it fit in his mouth?"
The guard pulled off a thin thread tied to the iron rod, and threaded the hole of the key through the thread, and the key slid down the west line and fell into Liu Yizhao's mouth.His mouth was already opened by the ice, and the key fell smoothly into the groove of the ice.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Then, the guard raised a small arrow from the side, ignited the arrow, and shot it into the fireplace. The fireplace was already full of oil, and it immediately burst into flames.
Liu Yizhao's head was already near the flames, but after a while, the ice in his mouth melted into water and flowed out along the corner of his mouth.
The key naturally remained in his mouth.
Everyone looked at the blazing flames, and everyone felt unreal like in a dream.
What is the purpose of such a case where five people died?
——————————————————————————————————————
Shen Yan was brought in front of Yan Yunqi and knelt on the ground.
He seemed to be still immersed in his own world, staring at Yan Yunqi, but his eyes seemed to pass through him without focus.
Yan Yunqi pondered, "Shen Yan, what are you doing all these things for?"
Shen Yan did not speak, and the people around him were also very silent, no one urged him.
After a long time, Shen Yan murmured, choked with sobs, "You really can't look at someone for too long. If you look at someone for too long, you'll fall in love with it..."
It turned out that Shen Yan had discovered something was wrong with Mrs. Qi five years ago.
He bribed the wife who worked for Mrs. Qi, and only then did he realize that he was not her biological child.
When he heard the news at the time, he was struck by lightning and was furious. He started going in and out of brothels to get drunk, but he was very worried that his identity would be exposed, so he kept observing Yinshuang.
After observing and observing, he actually had a little thought for her.
Yinshuang has been like everyone since she was a child, she is dignified and gentle, and she is also beautiful.
Shen Yan pays more and more attention to her day by day, and in the end he gradually feels a little bit in love with her.
Three years ago, Madam Qi brought Yinshuang into the mansion, Shen Yan was shocked, but also very happy.
He was Madam Qi's son in name, so he naturally had many opportunities to get in touch with Yinshuang.
The two have been in contact for a long time, and their feelings have secretly grown, and they both have meaning for each other.
Shen Yan knew that Yinshuang was the serious young lady, and he was not worthy of her at all.
However, on the face of it, Yinshuang is a maid.
As the young master of the Li family, he naturally cannot marry her.
So, with careful words and deliberations, he began to focus on business.
One day if he can make money, he can fly away with Yinshuang.
He socializes a lot in the business field every day, and the places he goes and goes are feasting and feasting, so his reputation is naturally not good.
However, the two were determined towards each other, and they both spread their wings and flew high as soon as their wings hardened.
Four months ago, Shen Yan went out for half a month to deal with business matters.
After returning, he found that Yinshuang was missing.
Shocked, he began to inquire everywhere, but he found out that Yinshuang had been tortured to death by his nominal father.
He couldn't react for a while, so he asked Mrs. Qi what was going on that night, and told him that he knew Yinshuang was her biological daughter.
Madam Qi was terrified, and told him crying that she was sorry for the two of them.
After the master took a fancy to Yinshuang, he mentioned it to himself, but she was afraid that her son-changing incident would be revealed, so she didn't dare to stop Li Fengxian.
After finishing speaking, she kept crying, saying how regretful she was, how guilty she was, and was tortured by guilt all night.
After listening to Shen Yan, his heart was extremely cold, and he hated this woman to the extreme.
While pretending to comfort his wife, he started his revenge plan.
After finishing everything, Shen Yan fell into a sluggish state again.
Yan Yunqi said, "Where is the golden hairpin? What's wrong with her? Why did you kill her?"
Shen Yan sneered, "I have always warned Yinshuang to stay away from Li Fengxian. She has been careful for three years and never let him notice. Do you know why she attracted Li Fengxian's attention? It was because the girl Jinchai pushed her on purpose She feels that Madam Qi and I both love Yinshuang, and are very jealous of her, and have harbored ill intentions towards her long ago! If it weren't for her, how could Yinshuang attract Li Fengxian's attention!"
Therefore, he pretended to be good friends with Jinchai, coaxing her to marry her as a concubine in the future and let her do things for him.
The medicine for diarrhea and even the bird's nest soup with rock sugar added with arsenic were all prepared by Nobile, and she sent it to everyone in the name of Mrs. Qi.
In the end, he said slowly word by word, "Li Fengxian abused his own daughter, the Qian couple saw Qian's eye open, Mrs. Qi abandoned family affection, and the poison of the gold hairpin woman, these people should be killed! They should be killed! They should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! It should be killed! Even if I eat its flesh raw, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
Shen Yan was finally taken away.
Everyone in Li's residence seemed to still hear the countless sentences of "deserving to be killed" lingering in the roof beams, which could not dissipate for a long time.
——————————————————————————————————————
"Xiangyan Yun Qi Biography"
In the sixth year of Tianqi, Yan Yunqi solved the case of the murder of Li Fengxian, a mighty general of the first rank.
The case was so confusing that it was called one of the strange cases at the time.
After Yan Yunqi solved the case, he asked to amend the law, and the master could not kill the servants he bought casually.
Although Emperor Wende didn't express his position at the time, he secretly began to support Yan Yunqi's side.
Five years later, the faction of Xiang's relatives was wiped out, and Emperor Wende vigorously promoted the new law.
From then on, if a servant who was bought was killed by his master, it would be dealt with as a general homicide case.
