Everyone else in the room was confused by Shi Qingxue's action.
Shi Juncai said sarcastically: "What? Do you think that if you kneel down in front of your grandfather's memorial tablet, you will jump up and help you find the [Alchemy Book Iron Coupon]?"
His words not only mocked Shi Qingxue, but also revealed a hint of disrespect for Shi Lei.
Shi Junhe frowned again and was about to scold him again, but he remembered that their relationship was like fire and water - it was useless to talk about it.
Shi Qingxue ignored Shi Juncai's "barking" and seriously kowtowed three times in front of Shi Lei's memorial tablet, murmuring an apology: "Grandpa, I'm sorry."
The ancestral hall was very quiet. Everyone heard Qingxue's sorry words, but they didn't understand. What was she sorry for
She knelt for about a quarter of an hour before standing up and taking a few steps forward.
Almost touching the shrine where the tablet was enshrined, she stretched out her hands and lifted Shi Lei's tablet down.
Everyone: "..."
"Shi Qingxue, what are you going to do?" Mo Shujun's voice was full of anger.
Shi Qingxue seemed not to hear anything and continued to move.
She placed the tablet on the table in front of her, took out her handkerchief and wiped it carefully, then stood on tiptoes and reached into the shrine again.
This time, she groped for a moment at the bottom of the shrine, and then pulled out a long, small secret compartment.
Just when everyone was surprised that there was such a thing as a hidden compartment under the shrine, something even more magical happened - Shi Qingxue actually took out a bright silver square object from the hidden compartment.
Astonishingly, it is the [Alchemy Book Iron Coupon]!
"how come?"
Shi Juncai screamed in surprise, unable to believe what his eyes saw.
He rushed forward and tried to snatch what was in Shi Qingxue's hand.
Shi Qingxue dodged lightly, and then said coldly: "Uncle, please don't move."
"How is it possible? How come you have the [Alchemy Book Iron Coupon] in your hand? It's still there..." Shi Juncai still looked in disbelief.
Not to mention him, not even Mo Shujun, not even Shi Junhe, no one could have imagined that they could not find the [Alchemy Book Iron Coupon] despite digging three feet into the Luotong Pavilion despite all their efforts. It was placed in such an obvious place!
It's almost like a joke.
Shi Qingxue, however, took it for granted and replied: "The [Alchemy Book and Iron Coupon] was given to me by my grandfather. Shouldn't it be enshrined by me under my grandfather's tablet?"
Shi Junhe looked at Shi Qingxue's pure eyes and suddenly understood everything: She probably never thought of taking the [Alchemy Book Iron Coupon] for personal use from beginning to end.
That's why she showed such a tangled look when Zheng Liang proposed to submit the [Alchemy Book Iron Coupon] to Mo Xiangbin.
It’s not that I don’t have it, it’s that I’m afraid of letting my grandfather down!
Shi Junhe thought to himself: Silly boy, you are so sincere, how can I bear to let you ruin your persistence because of me
"Qingxue, no need."
Shi Junhe sighed lowly and wanted to ask Shi Qingxue to take back the iron coupon of the alchemy book.
However, Shi Juncai shouted again: "So what if you really have the [Alchemy Book Iron Coupon] in your hand? The elder brother didn't kill just any cat or dog. He killed his biological brother, our father's biological son." ah!
If such evil deeds are acquitted because of the [iron coupon of the alchemy book], is there any justice in it? If my father knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin, right? "
"So what do you want?" Shi Qingxue already knew that Shi Juncai was a scoundrel. Hearing this, he only frowned slightly and was not surprised.
But Shi Juncai thought he had grasped their weakness, and said smugly: "You can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the living penalty! Even if he could be spared because of the iron certificate of the alchemy book, he actually killed his own brother. The title passed down from his father , he can’t do it no matter what!”
After many twists and turns, Shi Juncai finally revealed his sinister intentions.
After all, don't you just want to calculate Shi Junhe's title
Shi Qingxue sneered and suddenly asked Zheng Liangcai, "Speaking of which, Qingxue is still a little confused. I don't know what crime Mr. Zheng is going to hold his father accountable for?"
Zheng Liangcai firmly decided to follow Mo Shujun. Faced with Shi Qingxue's question, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva before replying: "Of course... he bribed someone to murder his own brother."
"Oh?" Shi Qingxue nodded clearly, then her eyes sharpened, "Where's the evidence?"
"Uh..." Zheng Liangcai said in his heart that the evidence was so obvious, Shi Qingxue was just delaying time and making things difficult for him.
Yes, Mr. Zheng was in great torment, and he hesitated before replying: "Shi Wang, Mr. Shi's personal servant, has already confessed. He was ordered by Mr. Shi to attack Mr. Shi."
"That's it?" Shi Qingxue sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm, as if to say: Is this enough evidence
Before Zheng Liangcai could speak again, she said slowly: "My father has denied that he knows Shi Wang."
"Of course the murderer will not admit that he has killed anyone!" Shi Juncai retorted hastily, obviously not believing what Shi Junhe said.
Shi Qingxue smiled: "Then the real murderer would also say that someone else killed him. How can you confirm that what Shi Wang told is the truth and what my father said is not the truth?"
Zheng Liangcai & Shi Juncai: "..."
yes! It’s also a witness, so it makes no sense that what Shi Wang told was the truth, and what Shi Junhe told must be a lie, right
Not to mention where Shi Junhe's identity is, and if he goes to court, more people will definitely believe in Shi Junhe in the end.
Zheng Liangcai hesitated for a moment and then said: "The government officials found something in Shi Wang's room. It was the reward that Mr. Shi gave to Shi Wang and the poison used for poisoning. These are physical evidence, and there are also things related to Shi Wang. Shi Yu, Wang's roommate, also confirmed that he had seen Shi Wang go to the Duke of Shi's Mansion to ask for a reward..."
He racked his brains and laid out the evidence one by one to make sure it was true.
Shi Qingxue listened to him quietly and then said slowly: "Since it is now confirmed that Shi Wang poisoned his second uncle, and he identified my father as the instigator, can I ask him a few questions? , so as to answer all of our doubts?”
Zheng Liangcai wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignored Shi Juncai's glare, and replied solemnly: "You ask, you ask..."
Although he took refuge in Mo Shujun, he didn't want to offend Shi Qingxue at all!
Shi Qingxue politely nodded to Zheng Liangcai, then turned to look at Shi Wang, who was kneeling on the ground. She stared at him until her scalp went numb, and she lowered her head with a guilty conscience, and then slowly asked: "Did you poison my second uncle?"
At first, Shi Wang was on guard that Shi Qingxue would ask some tricky and weird questions. When he heard that it was such a simple 'sending point question', he immediately relaxed.
His face immediately showed a look of regret, and he lamented: "It was the slave who poisoned me, but the slave was just following orders..."
"Okay, just answer whatever I ask you, and don't talk nonsense." Shi Qingxue interrupted Shi Wang coldly, suppressing all his sophistry in his throat.
A face of pain and regret was deeply twisted.
Shi Qingxue ignored it and continued to ask: "Where did the poison you poisoned come from?"
Shi Wang learned to be honest this time and answered in a decent manner: "It's what the master gave to the slave." Shi Qingxue: "When?"
"Ah?" Shi Wang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Shi Qingxue was asking
Shi Qingxue said patiently: "Aren't you just claiming that dad gave you the poison? When did he give it to you?"
Shi Wang was still confused. He never expected that Shi Qingxue would ask the question in such detail, nor did he prepare an answer.
Shi Qingxue grasped this and immediately asked: "Since you said that daddy gave you the poison, how could you not know when he gave it to you?"
"I, I forgot!" Shi Wang reluctantly defended.
Shi Qingxue did not dwell on this point, but instead asked: "If time goes so long and you forget the time, you can't possibly forget the location, right?"
This is not a daily grocery shopping, a one-time mission, but a murder mission of the highest level. If Shi Wang wants to quibble and say that he forgot, it will definitely not be justified.
Shi Wang was obviously aware of this, and stammered: "No, I, what I remember, is... in the alley outside the Duke Shi's Mansion."
After racking his brains, he finally came up with an answer. Shi Wang was afraid that Shi Qingxue would ask, so he quickly added: "The master gave it to the slave alone, and no one saw it."
"Really?" Shi Qingxue already knew that this dog slave was lying a lot, and she didn't expect him to tell the truth.
"That's it!" Shi Wang hadn't answered yet, but Shi Juncai was anxious to confirm it for Shi Wang.
At the same time, he looked at Shi Qingxue impatiently and asked impatiently: "Qingxue, although you don't believe that my elder brother would do such a heartless thing, but the facts are in front of you, so don't delay."
Shi Qingxue twitched the corner of her mouth without warmth and said calmly: "I just want to find out the truth of the matter, but the third uncle is so anxious to convict daddy. Is there any ulterior motives?"
"You, what are you talking about!" Shi Juncai hurriedly denied it. At this time, he realized that he was too impatient and would arouse others' suspicion, so he shut his mouth angrily.
Shi Qingxue turned her gaze back to the young man Shi Wang again and asked, "You said my father gave you poison, what else did you do?"
"The uncle said, let the slave find an opportunity to poison the second master's food. After the incident is completed, he will ensure the slave's wealth and endless enjoyment, and..." Shi Wang copied what he said first. , it makes perfect sense.
"So, you poisoned your second uncle for money?" Shi Qingxue suddenly asked again.
Shi Wang didn't know why she asked that. He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, yes."
"Then what did daddy give you beforehand?"
Shi Wang: "It's just some gold and silver jewelry. Shi Yu saw me going to receive the reward from the uncle. He can testify."
"Testify?" Shi Qingxue repeated this sentence playfully, "So he personally accompanied you to see your father?"
"How is it possible?" Shi Wang hurriedly denied, "My uncle told me not to let anyone else know about this, so every time I go to Duke Shi's mansion alone to meet my uncle."
"Since he didn't see it, how can he testify that the person you went out to see was your father?"
Shi Qingxue suddenly asked back, froze Shi Wangwen again.
She asked again: "How many times have you seen daddy in total, and when was each time?"
Shi Wang couldn't answer the last question, and he was afraid of being blamed, so he quickly replied: "I met the master twice in total, once to receive the reward and once to get the poison, both late at night. I..."
Shi Wang wanted to say a few more insignificant details to make people believe what he said, but Shi Qingxue's expression turned completely cold.
She stared at Shi Wang and said seriously: "You lie!"
