Chapter 976: Suspicion

"How do you know?" Qin Lin blurted out in surprise, feeling impressed by Xu Xinyi, but he didn't expect her to know about the drug.

Feng Pu was also surprised, he was a civil official from the right path, and when he saw that Xu Xinyi also followed Qin Lin, he was a little unwelcome, but he didn't expect her to be able to say that it was a drug that caused death, but it should not be underestimated.

Who knew that Miss Xu grinned again, let go of the side, and snorted at the short and thin Liu Sandao Nunu in the back: "Oh, he said it." ”

Cut! Qin Lin was full of black lines.

Feng Pu, Gu Xiancheng and the others couldn't cry or laugh even more, so they could only shake their heads with a wry smile.

Having said that, compared with Xu Xinyi, who is tall and tall in a gold forehead, wearing a red brocade robe, and wearing a white jade belt, Liu Sandao, who is inconspicuous, really has no sense of existence, no wonder no one notices him.

was told by Xu Xinyi loudly about the cause of death, Liu Sandao's face was embarrassed, and his heart was full of bitterness.

It is quite unfavorable for Xu Wenchang to find out that Lian Zhiqing died from the drug, because this highly toxic drug that is accompanied by conspiracy and death and hidden in the palace is very reminiscent of Dongchang and increases Xu Wenchang's suspicion, so Liu Sandao is ready to quietly tell Qin Lin and wait for the Lord Overseer to make a decision - with the ingenious techniques of the master of Dongchang, give them a little more time, and they will be able to move their hands and feet on the corpse.

Liu Sandao kept it a secret and didn't say it, but when Xu Xinyi came to ask just now, he couldn't continue to hide it. This eldest lady is not only the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom, but also has a deep relationship with the Lord of Qin, and outsiders look at it quite a bit of the posture of a Hedong lion, Qin Lin brought her here, which is very revealing.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sandao couldn't hold back and didn't say anything, but Xu Xinyi shouted loudly, and Lao Liu almost didn't vomit blood.

Feng Pu recognized Liu Sandao and asked loudly: "Ask Steward Liu, Lian Zhiqing really died of the drug?" ”

Liu Sandao smiled dryly, and turned his inquiring gaze to Qin Lin.

"To tell you the truth, you can't say anything to others," Qin Lin waved his hand and glared at him angrily, you hide your head and tail like this, others really think it's our hands.

Liu Sandao nodded and said: "Lord Qiqi, the deceased Lian Zhiqing was twenty-nine years old, a prisoner of the country, a person from Fufeng, Shaanxi, with a white beard in his body, a little red pimple on his face, his neck and limbs spasmed when he died, his body curled up like a dog after death, he still had convulsions from time to time after he lost his breath, his face was hideous and distorted, he seemed to laugh but not laugh, he seemed to cry but not cry, and he died after taking the drug. ”

Hiss~~ Whether it was Feng Pu and the subordinates of Shuntian Mansion, or Gu Xiancheng and his friends, they all gasped after it was confirmed that it was the medicine that caused their deaths.

Even the majestic Li Rusong tightened his cheeks, looked at the teacher next to him, and found that Xu Wenchang's face was also not good-looking.

There is no other reason, the reputation of the medicine is too loud, when the ancient emperors gave their ministers and concubines to death, they used most of this medicine, making it as famous as crane top red, peacock gall, and wine, and it is also a necessary medicine for killing people in the court, seizing power, and killing political enemies at home.

The most famous victim of the medicine is the queen of Li in the Southern Tang Dynasty who wrote "a river of spring water flows eastward", and the "poison hand medicine king" who made poison was Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty. It is said that after Li Houzhu took the medicine, his head convulsed, and finally he died in contact with his feet, which resembled the action of "pulling the machine" when weaving cloth with an earthen loom in ancient times, which shows that he died a miserable death, and the medicine was named after it.

The death caused by the poison that is often used in the palace conspiracy has cast a mysterious color on Lian Zhiqing's death, and even Yin Fengpu of Shuntian Mansion, who originally held a middle position, looked at Xu Wenchang and Qin Lin a little strangely, suspecting that even if it was not poisoned by Old Man Xu himself, it was the Dongchang Eagle Dog sent by the Lord of Qin to do it.

"The teacher has been famous for decades, how can he poison people? This, this must be ......" Li Rusong explained for Xu Wenchang vigorously, but he is a famous general, not a detective, even if he has eight mouths, he can't explain it clearly.

Xu Wenchang shook his head and smiled while pulling his beard, his tone was very open-minded: "Zimao, it's useless to talk more, the old man has been wronged more than once, he was charged with betraying the country and attaching himself to the strict party back then, and now when he is old, he has poisoned people many times, which is nothing." ”

"Hey, old guy, you're in such a hurry to put the charge on your head?" Qin Lin looked at Xu Wenchang with a smile, his face suddenly changed, and his cold gaze swept over Feng Pu, Gu Xiancheng and others, and said sharply: "Then it depends on whether the governor agrees or not!" ”

If the tiger is not powerful, they all think it is a sick cat? If you don't look at the methods of our Qin Governor, people call the case like a god, how can it be a waste of fame!

Feng Pu was stunned, Gu Xiancheng sneered and waited to ridicule each other, and the three major scolding generals were also eager to try.

But the Governor of Qin didn't give them a chance at all, and asked like a cannon: "Liu Sandao, let's talk about it, what is the main ingredient of the machine pulling medicine, is it only in our East Factory that has this thing, can you get it elsewhere?" ”

Liu Sandao is a veteran in handling cases, how can he not understand what Qin Lin means? He suddenly woke up and replied quickly: "The machine medicine is famous, in fact, the main ingredient is raw strychnine, and the pharmacy generally makes strychnine, and the poisonous surname is relatively small, but it is not difficult to get raw one." ”

Qin Lin smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Liu Sandao's answer.

Nux nux is also known as strychnine turtle, is blindly highly poisonous, in the modern era where Qin Lin once lived, its status has been replaced, people are more familiar with cyanide series products, if you want to make the victim more like a heart attack, you can choose a higher-end ricin.

However, as a forensic doctor, Qin Lin was well aware of another important drug in toxicology, that is, strychnine, also known as "Shining", which was the first choice of conspirators throughout the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century.

Taking purified strychnine, tens of milligrams can kill people, and the poisonous surname of strychnine concocted by traditional Chinese medicine has declined, but if it is unprocessed raw strychnine, the poisonous surname is very dangerous, often a few grams, a few tenths of a gram will lead to death.

Just seeing Lian Zhiqing's death with spasmodic convulsions, Qin Lin almost immediately concluded that it belonged to the poisoning of strychnine, and the reason why he did not immediately break it was because he hoped to get confirmation from other masters - after all, in later generations, few people used strychnine to poison, criminals living in rural areas are more dependent on poisonous rats, and cyanide, poisonous protein, and thallium poison are emerging in large cities, so this is also the first time that Qin Lin has come into contact with the case of the victim being poisoned by strychnine.

Since the main ingredient of the medicine is strychnine, and it is not difficult to get raw strychnine, which is not unique to Dongchang, then this alone cannot point the suspicion at Xu Wenchang and the Qin Governor of Dongchang behind Xu Wenchang.

Feng Pu was a little stunned: "It turns out that the medicine that poisoned Empress Li was mainly a raw horse and money, but the official is lonely and unheard......"

Gu Xiancheng said stupidly: "However, before the wine glass was obtained by Lian Zhiqing, it was Xu Wenchang's last hand, except for him, no one else had the opportunity to poison him!" ”

This is indeed undeniable, Xu Wenchang is the last person in front of Lian Zhiqing to touch the wine glass, and he is of course the most suspicious.

It is precisely because of this that after Dongchang received the news, he hurriedly informed Qin Lin, because if he didn't come to find out the real murderer, Xu Wenchang was likely to be regarded as the murderer who poisoned people.

How could Qin Lin let Xu Wenchang be wronged in vain?

Don't look at the old gentleman's neck and disdainful expression, in fact, he is in the game, how can he not care. He just mentioned the injustice he encountered in his early years, and there was a faint sense of indignation: he was about to leave the land of smoke and clouds in Beijing and go to the Saibei grassland, and since then he has lived with his sweetheart and has not asked about the world, and he is suspected of poisoning people at this time, will he live up to the reputation of Mr. Qingteng?

Xu Wenchang worked hard for the country and the people, and designed for Qin Lin in many ways, running in all directions, and now he has the opportunity to go to the outside of the Saiwai after the sixtieth year, and continue the front edge with the three ladies, whether it is public or private, Qin Lin will not let him leave regrets!

You must know that leaving regrets at this age may not be able to make up for it until death...... "Mr. Gu, Mr. Jiang, Yang, and Mr. Li," Qin Lin arched his hand at them, and said with a smile: "You are sure that Mr. Xu poisoned Lian Zhiqing, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's really not taken by the wise!" ”

The three of Jiangdong were about to get angry, Gu Xiancheng stretched out his hand to stop them, and shook his wide sleeves in a pretending to be chic: "How can Lord Qin say this?" ”

Qin Lin sneered pitifully, revealing a few white teeth: "If this governor or Mr. Xu intends to cause harm, this morning Lian Zhiqing discussed the government in vain, slandered the minister, and violated the sacred precept of the Taizu Lying Inscription, he could be arrested and thrown into the Dongchang dungeon, do you think he still has a chance to come out?" Humph......"

Dongchang from Cao Shaoqin, Yu Huatian, Liu Sandao and other leaders, to the stall head, Fan Battle, all of them laughed ill-intentionedly, and some people also stretched out their scarlet tongues and licked their lips.

The Lord of Qin is mighty!

Xu Xinyi was so envious that he opened his apricot eyes, and his honey-colored lips opened into an O-shape, he used to think that it was enough to lead troops to fight, but he didn't expect Qin Lin to be the overseer, and it was another kind of majesty.

Gu Xiancheng and the others looked at each other, knowing that what Qin Lin said was reasonable, in the morning, Lian Zhiqing violated the holy precepts contained in the inscription, and Dongchang had every reason to arrest him, as long as he entered the dungeon of Dongchang, the governor wanted him to die in the third watch, who would dare to keep people until the fifth watch?

"Who knows what kind of conspiracy you ghosts have?" Li Zhi muttered unconvinced.

Qin Lin smiled: "It is true that Mr. Xu was the last person to touch the wine glass before Lian Zhiqing was poisoned and died, but he is not the only one who has touched the wine glass!" In fact, everyone here is suspicious, for example, Li Yushi put the poison in the cup, and then Gu Langzhong struck the order, so that the wine glass happened to be passed to Lian Zhiqing through the hands of Mr. Xu, which could also kill him! ”

"Yes, Gu Xiancheng is a murderer!" Lu Fatzi shouted loudly, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and carried a raw cowhide bag containing tools, just arrived here from the house.
