Chapter 1147: The Truth About Poisoning (Twenty-Eight)
Yang Huairen suddenly asked, "Is it the case of Zhang Laohu being killed in Qizhou?" ”
The expression on the ghost sister's face was noncommittal, but she replied, "We investigate your background, and of course there is a way to find all the court files related to you.
In the case report of the governor of Qizhou, your name actually appeared, and the old man surnamed Xie admired you very much, and almost put all the credit for solving the case on your head. ”
Yang Huairen said with a smile, "Tell him not to report my involvement in the case to the court, I didn't expect the old man to be wrong, when I was deliberately humble, it's ridiculous to think about it." ”
Sister Ghost also smiled lightly, "This is actually very ordinary, although you didn't have a serious official position at that time, but you had a title that made others blush, even a local official like the Governor of Qizhou had to look at you with his neck up, after all, your status was given by the emperor himself, and the future was limitless."
And at that time, when you first got involved in officialdom, you didn't know a lot of things, and the more you said that you wouldn't let him report your involvement in the investigation of the case to the court, Xie Zhizhou would think that you were talking back.
He knows that he solved a case, and this credit is nothing, so he will not get any benefit from inviting credit from the imperial court, but it will be different if he gives you all the credit, the credit seems to be yours, but he also invited you to take a big credit.
Now with your status in the Song Dynasty, Xie Zhizhou, the local governor of your hometown, can use your name to get more benefits. ”
Yang Huairen sighed, "Officialdom, it's too complicated, everyone has everyone's calculations, and you can never judge the essence of the problem from the words or things on the surface." ”
"You don't have to be high, even if your height is real."
Sister Ghost continued, "For thousands of years, officialdom has been like this. Qinggao is made to show others, and the benefits are reserved for oneself.
You understand these now, so I don't need to say more, let's talk about the case.
The case of Zhang Laohu's murder seems very simple, Xie Zhizhou also caught a suspected murderer who appeared at the scene, according to the habit of officials who do not want to trouble themselves, no matter whether this person is the real murderer or not, he will be sentenced if he is sentenced.
But your appearance changed the situation. When we saw the final truth of the case, we were also amazed, a big man who had been stabbed so many knives was not killed, but died accidentally, which is really incredible.
From his death, we realize that two different things, each of which is not poisonous in itself, can be highly poisonous when mixed together.
So we thought of a good way to poison it, and my father sent people to various places to look for local unique plants and animals, or medicinal herbs or spices that were only available locally, and took them back and mixed them in pairs, and finally tested out two kinds of medicinal materials, which were not poisonous in themselves, but mixed them to get a new drug, which was extremely poisonous.
So we started to plan how to poison in this way, so perfect that no one could figure out how the poisoned person was poisoned, not even you, didn't you think of it? ”
Yang Huairen suddenly realized, "Now I understand." Your phrase 'there is poison in wine' turns out to be true. ”
"Yes!"
Sister Ghost smiled, "Even I couldn't help but be surprised at the time, the poisoned person told the poisoned person that the wine was poisonous, and he could let him drink it defenselessly, what kind of feeling do you say?"
It's like I put a knife on a person's neck, but he still kills him, and when he is about to die, he can't even understand how he died, don't you think? ”
"You put two kinds of colorless and tasteless drugs that are not poisonous in themselves into two wine jugs?"
Sister Ghost didn't hide anything anymore at this time, and naturally replied, "Yes." But you haven't heard of the names of the two poisons, even the first time I've heard them.
One is the salamander from the Western Regions, this lizard is red all over and can survive in the desert, and the locals found that the liver of this lizard is dried and ground into powder, which has the effect of healing wounds, so they use this salamander to make a unique gold sore medicine.
And in the north of the Longjiang River, there is a particularly rare Hui Soul Flower, itself is not poisonous, cattle and sheep also particularly like its unique taste, there are a few herdsmen use the rhizome of this flower to cook meat, can make the beef and mutton more delicious, so this Hui Soul Flower is used as a spice to eat.
Two things that sound unrelated, who would have thought that if they were put together, they would be the incurable poison in this world?
Salamander powder is already colorless and odorless, and when it is dissolved and applied to a wine bowl, no one will notice anything, and the fact that you apply poison to the wine bowl, you can imagine, already shows that you are very clever.
And mixing the juice of the soul flower into the wine will not only not be detected, but will make the wine more mellow, so the dozens of jars of lamb brew have been drugged, but no one will notice anything.
So Yelu Hongji drank the second bowl of wine, and he was poisoned so inexplicably, and later Shi Shilang wanted to test the poison with sheep, but he would not have tried anything anyway.
Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that he will try it out by mistake, we can use your reasoning to say that the poison is in the wine bowl, and it can still be framed on Xiao Sabi's head. ”
Yang Huairen subconsciously said, "In fact, it is not difficult to understand that when two different drugs are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs, and the new substances formed are completely different from their original material properties." ”
Sister Ghost paused for a moment, "Although I didn't understand your words too much, I understood the meaning." It's a bit like when you cook, things that originally tasted bitter can be mixed together and cooked, and they can become delicious in the world. ”
Yang Huairen questioned, "Are you using food to describe poison?" The two things are not the same thing at all. ”
Sister Ghost smiled, "Now you can understand why I went to look for you last night, right?" ”
Yang Huairen thought for a moment, then replied, "It seems that you personally went to the dining room to poison it." Coming out in the middle of the night to poison is your real purpose, and coming to me is just a cover for people's eyes.
However, if you can remind me of that sentence, you still have a conscience.
In this way, the so-called resurrection of Xiao Dale Emblem from the dead is purely made up by you? ”
Sister Ghost nodded affirmatively, "That's nature." We needed a clue to lead the culprit of the poisoning to Xiao Sabi's head, so I thought of Xiao Dale's poisoning of Yelu Hongji back then.
And his death back then was indeed very strange and easy to make people suspicious, so he brought a ghost out to talk about it, leading everyone's suspicion to Xiao Sabi. ”
