After the dishes were on the table, Qiyou just stretched out his chopsticks to eat, but Zhao Qian stopped him.
Zhao Qian took out a silver needle and tried these dishes one by one. Seeing that the silver needle did not change color, Zhao Qian said, "Master, you can use it now."
Qiyou waved his hand to let the guard go down with the others. In the house, he, Zhao Qian and Ruo Nan were left alone.
Ruo Nan said: "If you are really a master of poison, you won't be able to test it with a silver needle." There is poison in her hand that cannot be tested with a silver needle. But this kind of medicine is very rare and extremely precious, except for Yuxi and her father, no one else will give it to her if they ask for it.
Qiyou said with a bitter face, "Sister, don't you scare me, okay?"
Ruo Nan glanced at Qiyou and said, "She has no grievances against you, and will not go to great lengths to harm you." The most important thing is that if the murderer wants to harm Qiyou, it is easy to expose himself. If the man thinks that the murderer must be a smart man, he would not do such a stupid thing.
Qiyou said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it's better to be more cautious."
If the man looked at Qiyou carefully, he could see that Qiyou's hairs stood up.
"Sister Ruo, what are you doing?" Looking at him like this made him very stressed.
If the man retracted his gaze, he smiled and said, "If you hadn't followed you all the way, I would have suspected that you were replaced. Youwang, who is not afraid of heaven and fearless, would actually be afraid of death. I don't know the Emperor, how would they feel?" In Ruo Nan's impression, Qiyou is not afraid.
Qiyou quibbleed: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm cautious. My mother used to say, be careful to ride the boat for thousands of years."
If the man chuckled softly: "In fact, even if you are afraid of death, no one will laugh at you. In this world, there are a few people who are not afraid of death, and I am afraid of death." People have concerns, so they are reluctant to die.
As soon as the two of them finished their meal, they heard the guard replied that the envoy Pang Liyan had come.
When Qiyou saw Pang Liyan's appearance, his heart was slightly relieved: "Huge man, but what good news is there?"
The inspector happily said: "Master, Xu Ziliang has found it." Xu Ziliang, the youngest son of the Xu family master, escaped because he was studying abroad. It is also because of studying abroad, so the news lags behind and I don't know that my family was killed.
Qiyou asked: "Where is he now?"
They have been to the three places of Hengzhou and Yongzhou. Ruo Nan also went to examine five corpses, all of which had their throats cut. However, Ruo Nan found out that these corpses were first drugged in a coma and then killed. As for what kind of medicine it is, there is no way to verify it because time has passed too long.
Without any clues, the appearance of Xu Ziliang was tantamount to bringing about a turning point in the case.
Pang Li said: "Our people found him in Changzhou. At this time, he is on his way back."
Qiyou was worried that the news of Xu Ziliang's return would leak out, and Xu Ziliang would be in danger by then. Beware that what he saw was a corpse, and Qiyou went to find Xu Ziliang himself.
Three days later, Qiyou met Xu Ziliang.
Xu Ziliang is a scholar and a bookish person. But at this time Xu Ziliang was unshaven, and the robe he wore was also crumpled. When you get close to him, you can smell a strange smell.
Seeing Qiyou, Xu Ziliang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "The prince, I beg the prince must find the murderer and avenge his father and mother." He alone cannot avenge him.
Qiyou walked over to help Xu Ziliang and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely catch this murderer and bring him to justice." If such a cruel person is not caught, who knows if something similar will happen again. .
Qiyou asked, "Do you have contact with the Zhao family in Hengzhou and the Lu family in Huaizhou?"
Xu Ziliang shook his head and said, "Our family has no relatives in Hengzhou or Huaizhou." Therefore, naturally, he would not know people from the Zhao family and Lu family.
"Do you think about it?"
Xu Ziliang said with certainty: "Really not. If there is a relationship, they can't have never been to the door, and it's impossible for my parents to never mention it."
On the Xu family's ritual book and the guest list, there was no trace of the Zhao family and the Lu family. However, the absence of contacts does not mean that they are okay. It's just that they haven't found it out yet.
Qiyou thought for a while, and asked, "What kind of enemies does your Xu family have? It's the kind of bloody hatred." If it weren't for the bloody hatred, it wouldn't kill the whole family. Of course, it's another matter to say that the murderer was a wicked person, but the probability is very small.
After speaking, Xu Ziliang lowered his head and said, "My father and them are kind and generous. They are very good people. Let alone forge blood and deep hatred with people, they don't quarrel with people on weekdays." The Xu family will give those beggars porridge every winter, and they often Relief the poor people. He also often sent things to the Charity Hall and the Women's Almshouse in Yongzhou. Therefore, Mr. Xu, in Yongzhou City, is a well-known great kind person. It's really hard to understand that such a person would be completely wiped out.
Qiyou didn't comment on this. Those great good people with a reputation, some are true and some are hypocritical. If the Xu family can bring the disaster of exterminating the family, the other party must have blood and deep enmity with them, otherwise they will not commit such a murderous hand. How can a true good person forge such hatred with others
Ruo Man asked, "Do you know, where is the secret passage or secret room of the Xu family?" The Xu family is a victim and it is not easy to dig the ground. Therefore, they don't know whether there are secret passages or secret rooms.
Xu Ziliang shook his head and said, "No."
Qiyou thought for a while and asked, "Did your father do anything unusual in these years?"
Xu Ziliang shook his head and said, "No."
After asking Xu Ziliang for a long time, he didn't ask any useful information. Qiyou looked at his exhausted appearance and said, "You go and rest first! Just tell me what you think of."
Ruo Nan also frowned. In this case, it can be said that there is no clue. It is as difficult to find out the real murderer.
After a moment of contemplation, Qiyou and Pang Liyan said, "Let's take Xu Ziliang back to Yongzhou." Waiting like this is not a problem, so he wants to lead the snake out of the cave.
Pang Liyan also agreed with Qiyou's plan, but he felt that it would be better to find someone to replace Xu Ziliang: "Master, Xu Ziliang has no power to bind the chicken. The murderer will stare at him, and I am worried that he will be more or less murderous." This murderer means. Unpredictable, he was really worried.
Qiyou gave a white glance at Pang Liyan: "Xu Ziliang grew up in Yongzhou, and his relatives and friends are very familiar with him." Since he is familiar with him, it is easy to be spotted by people of counterfeiting. Once the snake is stunned, the murderer will definitely not make a move for a short time.
Only a thousand days are a thief, there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief. The murderer is hidden, and they cannot wait indefinitely. When they returned to Beijing, the murderer could find a chance to kill Xu Ziliang.
Pang Liyan hesitated, and finally agreed with Qiyou's plan. It's been almost three months since this case happened, but so far there are no clues. If you don't listen to King You, he has no other options. Of course, the most important thing is that if you don't listen to King You, it is his responsibility that this case cannot be solved. After listening to King You, if the case cannot be solved, he does not have to bear the main responsibility.
On the second day after Xu Ziliang returned to Yongzhou, he bought paper money and incense candles to pay homage to his family.
Master Xu often does good deeds and has a good relationship with relatives. Therefore, after the official approval, relatives and friends took the Xu family's body back, because it was a violent death, it was not easy to deal with it. So they bought the coffins, put on clothes for them, and then buried them.
Losing all of your relatives in one fell swoop is not something ordinary people can afford. Xu Ziliang knelt at the grave crying hoarse, and finally fainted.
Qiyou said to the guard: "Take him back."
Xu Ziliang returned to Yongzhou for ten days, but the other party did not show up, which made Qiyou a little irritable. He thought that the other party was carrying a deep hatred of blood, and knew that Xu's family was still alive, he would definitely try to kill him. As a result, he didn't expect that this person was even more calm than he thought.
If the man looked at Qiyou who was irritable, he said: "You are here, the murderer must not dare to show up." Qiyou is the prince of the court, and the guards around him are like clouds. Unless the other party is frustrated, he will not be able to shoot now. .
It is not too late for a gentleman to avenge him for ten years. Unless Xu Ziliang conceals his name and does not show up again, the other party will be able to kill him sooner or later.
"What should I do? I can't leave Xu Ziliang in Yongzhou, right?" If Xu Ziliang is to die, this case will never be solved.
The damage to his reputation is small, and he doesn't care about the false names of the spies. But the case was hanging up without cracking it, and there was a knot in my heart. After eating, I'm afraid it won't be fragrant anymore.
Ruo Nan said: "I pretend to be Xu Ziliang's entourage and follow him. As long as you go, the murderer will show up in all likelihood. At that time, we will be able to catch him."
Qiyou shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not. If the male sister, I would rather not solve this case than let you risk it."
Ruo Nan smiled and said, "You send two people who are good at kung fu to protect me in secret."
"No, it's too dangerous." The main reason is that he doesn't know what hole cards the other party has. If this person is stronger than Ruo Nan, then his life is in danger.
Ruo Nan smiled and said, "Don't worry! Xu and Zhao's family will be destroyed because they have no defense. I am prepared for this, and it is impossible for him to succeed."
Qiyou was still unwilling.
Ruo Man is a little impatient: "Don't chirp. You don't want to solve the case sooner, I want to go home sooner!" She hasn't left the house since she got married. This will be more than two months away from home, special husband and children.
Qiyou also wants to solve the case, but he doesn't make Ruonan far away. If Ruo Nan had three long and two short, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Ruo Nan glared at her and said, "Don't worry, that person is not my opponent."
"real?"
Ruo Nan gave Qiyou a glance and said, "We have known each other for so many years, when have you seen me talk about it?" She wouldn't do things that are uncertain. She is not alone now, and she will not be as unscrupulous as before. For the sake of her family, she will not be in danger.
In the end, Qiyou agreed to Ruo Nan's plan.
