Chapter 565: Xiao Fang's Decision
This time, Zhou Xing was very interested, and asked, "What kind of poison is in the history of torture and assassination?" ”
Niu Xian said: "In fact, it is not a strange poison, this poison history is contained, and it is called gold dust wine." ”
"Gold dust wine? Can't you? Zhou Xing said: "The so-called gold dust wine is to grind raw gold and mix it into the wine. Let's not talk about the torture assassination, knowing that it was gold dust wine, he was willing to drink it. Even if he really drank gold dust wine, Zhou could detect that he was poisoned and died! ”
Niu Xian said: "This is Brother Zhou, you don't know." Let me ask you, the high ~ officials and nobles who were given to death with gold dust wine, from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, the history is endless. However, why have there been few such rumors since Jin? ”
Zhou Xing really didn't think about this problem, and said, "I want to hear about it!" ”
Niu Xian said eloquently: "If you want gold dust wine to contain highly poisonous, the raw material used must be raw gold, that is, gold that has not been smelted. In fact, gold is non-toxic, and what really works is the impurities in it. "Han Feizi's Inner Chu Said" has a cloud: "In the land of Jingnan, gold is born in Lishui". The Jin Dynasty and the previous gold dust wine should be based on the raw gold of Lishui. ”
Zhou Xing seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and said, "Go on!" ”
"At that time, it was found that after taking gold dust wine, not only the onset of toxicity was very slow, but the corpse did not decompose for a long time, just like a living person. Therefore, in order to leave some dignity for those who were given death ~ officials and nobles, they often used gold dust wine to give death. Later, the gold of Yeosu was exhausted, and the raw gold in other places had no such effect, and the gold dust wine was used less and less. ”
Zhou Xing groaned: "Sounds quite reasonable...... But where is it seen? ”
"There are no classics, I guessed it." Niu Xian said: "Meizhou Duojin, I accidentally found a person who swallowed gold and died, and when he was buried seven days later, his appearance did not change, and he couldn't find out why he tested for drugs." I researched and found out that there was a wonderful way to use the raw gold somewhere. Even if it is guessed, the same is true of the gold of Yeosu on that day. If Brother Zhou doesn't believe me, I can tell you the specific location of the gold-producing land, and you can find a rabbit to check it. ”
Niu Xian's answer was fluent, and he said that he had a nose and eyes, which perfectly explained why Xing Wen's body could be preserved so well, which was much more reliable than any evergreen land, and people couldn't help but believe his words!
Since you believe in this, is the matter between Niu Xian and Xiao Wuniang true? Many people have gone from utter unbelief to doubtful belief.
Of course, Xiao Wuniang also noticed this change, and hurriedly said: "You understand what kind of poison the assassination history is, it can only show that you are indeed involved in this matter, but it can't prove the slave family and you." ”
Niu Xian said hesitantly: "Hehe, can you prove it, you don't count what you say, it doesn't count if I say it, you have to visit Cui to say it!" ”
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and said, "Please also ask Cui to visit Mingcha!" ”
So far, what has happened, Cui Geng is like a mirror in his heart. This Niu Xian's language was extremely vulgar at first, but after mentioning the golden dust wine, he became polite. 、
Obviously, someone taught him the latter words. As for who taught it? The person who has the most money in this account book, Li Yushan.
So, in fact, it was Li Yushan who killed Xing Wen.
The reason why Niu Xian is accusing Xiao Wuniang today is because the people behind Xiao Wuniang are hyping up the account book and trying to make himself and the Li family die. As a result, Li Yushan was frightened, and he had to send Niu Xian, a dead soldier.
Hehe, until now, it is the two of them who are fighting to the death, but they can do their best to reap the benefits of the fisherman, it is really better to be a human being!
Thinking of this, Cui Geng said impartially on the surface: "Whether Xiao Xiaoniang committed the crime of killing her husband or not, it is difficult for the official to judge for a while. Belch...... So be it...... I will put you two in prison for the time being, and I will be tried again another day. ”
Niu Xian was determined to die early, and nodded yes.
So far, what else can Xiao Wuniang say, and I want to agree.
But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Hmph, there is no need to put the two of them in prison, because ...... The man was killed by the old man! ”
People followed the prestige, and it was Shi Xiaofang, the governor of Meizhou, who spoke!
He understands that Li Yushan embezzled gold, which can only be regarded as a conflict with Cui Geng in official affairs, and his daughter Xiao Wuniang took the initiative to deceive Cui Geng, and the two sides will never die. The result of the retrial another day must be that Xiao Wuniang will inevitably die.
In order to save his daughter, Xiao Fang also let go, and said: "Qi Qi Cui visited, the secret of gold dust wine, not only Niu Xian is the only one who knows, but also the old man!" In fact, on that day, I took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and forcibly poured gold dust wine on the hangover torture stabbing history. ”
Wipe, another one came out and took the initiative to admit that he was the murderer, this lawsuit is too easy to judge, right?
Cui Geng smiled bitterly and said, "Then Xiao Changshi, tell me, why do you want to kill and assassinate Shi?" ”
"Well, it's a long story......"
If Xiao Fang wants to make things reasonable, he can only tell nine truths and one falsehood, and tell the grievances between Xing Wen and his father and daughter in public, the only lie is that Xing Wen was disrespectful to himself after drinking that day, and he poisoned him in a fit of anger.
Of course, since Xiao Fang killed Xing Wen, he couldn't explain why Xiao Wuniang wanted to find Cui Geng to avenge Xingwen, so he simply sold Li Gongzi.
Since he has become a traitor, let's do it more thoroughly, and he simply handed over the account book of the Meizhou Secret Hall officials who privately distributed the gold.
In the end, he even said in a big way: "Niu Xian, you framed Wu Niang before, presumably to repay Li Yushan's great kindness to you, and the old man doesn't blame you." If the old man guessed correctly, that account book was indeed forged by you for Xing Wen, but it wasn't for Wu Niang, right? ”
Although Niu Xian is a dead man, it is better not to die or not to die, so he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Xiao Changshi is right, I am in a hurry, I am in a hurry, and I want to blame Xiao Xiaoniang, and please punish Xiao Changshi!" ”
This time, only one person is considered a murderer, and he has taken all the blame off. Cui Geng was rarely confused, and ordered someone to put Xiao in Meizhou Prison.
In addition, to deal with the secret hall, Cui Geng was not so polite to the Li family, and with an order, the Freemasons went out to arrest people according to the list provided by Xiao Fang.
With the help of this big case, Su Wei finally gained a firm foothold in Meizhou.
A month later, Wu Zetian's disposition of Xiao Fang came down, after all, it was a big mistake in the criminal text, and Her Majesty the Empress borrowed a sentence from Cui Geng, called "His crime is unforgivable, and his feelings are pitiful", and demoted him to a commoner.
Cui Geng's old rival Li Xiu was very miserable, although he saw the opportunity quickly, he had already fled. However, the reputation can stink on the streets. After all, the concubine was used as a beauty plan, but as a result, people only enjoyed the beauty, but they didn't hit the scheme, and anyone who heard about it felt that this Li Gongzi was both a nest and a green cloud.
The situation seems to be very good, but Xiao Fang, who was cut to civilian office one day, brought Cui Geng not too good news.
He said with a sad face: "Cui Cha visited, the little girl Wuniang ran away from home. You see in the past, you met Wu Niang in the future, please take more care of her! ”
Cui Gengxin said that Xiao Wuniang ran away from home, I'm afraid she went to find Li Xiu, right? This little girl has been lying to me for Li Xiu, what love do I have with her? It's you old man Xiao, who fought back, and it helped me a lot, let's Cui Erlang admit your affection.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I really met it, this official will open up." ”
Seeing that Cui Geng's interest was not high, Xiao Fang was in a hurry, and said: "It's not enough to just open the net, you have to fight to protect it!" You don't know, this girl will ...... Following Li Xiu's side, he may cause a big disaster. ”
Cui Geng said disapprehantly: "It's unlikely, although the official doesn't deal with Li Xiu, but he is the person of Li Dan, the prime minister, and the official is not good at killing him, in addition, even to the people in the secret hall, the official is also a bit like fire, don't you see the officials who reported to you this time, I have arrested more and sentenced less?" ”
Xiao Fang smiled bitterly: "That's because you don't know enough about Li Xiu, do you know who he is?" ”
"The people of the Li clan in Longxi, the master of the secret hall, could it be that there are other identities?"
"He also has an identity, more than 80 years ago, the great-great-grandson of Li Mi, the prince of Pushan. What he never forgot was to establish a meritorious career beyond Li Mi and truly ascend the throne as the emperor! ”
Of course, Cui Geng had heard of Li Mi. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, this person killed Zhai Rang as an outsider, and the magpie's nest was occupied, and he was the new leader of the Wagang Army.
It was only later that he was proud and complacent, and he did not sympathize with his soldiers, and the generals scattered one after another, and he was defeated repeatedly. Later, he first descended to King Yang Jiong, and then betrayed Yang Jiong. After surrendering to Li Tang first, he rebelled against Tang and became independent, and was finally beheaded by Tang General Sheng Yanshi in Bears Ears Mountain.
In the overall evaluation, Li Mi is a character whose heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper, but he didn't expect his grandson to be also this virtue!
Cui Geng was puzzled: "Really? Does Li Xiu usually brag about wanting to be emperor, or does he really have a trace? ”
"Of course, there is a reversal." Xiao Fang said: "As far as the old man knows, now, he has accumulated nearly 10,000 armor blades in Jiannan Dao, and he is just going to start an incident when he is the dragon who controls Bintian today." ”
"Huh?"
Cui Geng's heart moved, and he remembered that before leaving, one of the main tasks that Wu Zetian had explained to him was to investigate the mysterious force that purchased armor and weapons on a large scale.
He couldn't wait to say, "Where are those armor blades hoarded?" If this case is handled well, not to mention that you will be reinstated, it will be a step further, and it is not impossible! ”
