Chapter 883: The Snake in the Room.

Regarding Shi Santong's push, Ye Xing only smiled faintly and said: "If a person is mentally mature, then what kind of person he is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change over time, so I also ask Lord Fu Yin to tell me your opinion of Li Shicheng." ”

Now that Ye Xing said so, Shi Santong had no choice but to nod, and then said: "Li Shicheng is a very scheming person, and many things will not be revealed, and I think he is a two-faced, often upside down, which makes it difficult for people to figure out, he doesn't like to make enemies with people, but whoever offends him, he will not let that person go." ”

After listening to Shi Santong's evaluation of Li Shicheng, everyone was shocked, so they hurriedly asked, "But is there anything that shows that he is such a person?" ”

Shi Santong thought for a while, and finally said: "Yes, at that time, a group of our candidates lived in the same inn, at that time, there was only one south-facing room left in the inn, everyone wanted it, but many candidates didn't want to make enemies or make trouble with others, so most of them gave up living in that house, but in the end, only Li Shicheng and He Zhongyu were left to live in that room, and then He Zhongyu paid a high price, and the innkeeper agreed to let He Zhongyu live in that house, but he didn't expect it, He Zhongyu just lived for one night, and then he couldn't live anymore, at that time we were very strange, why He Zhongyu couldn't live anymore, and then we learned after many inquiries that when He Zhongyu was sleeping at night, someone secretly put a snake into his room from the window, and the snake He Zhongyu was frightened, and finally had to change rooms with Li Shicheng, and we all know that the snake was put into He Zhongyu's room by Li Shicheng. ”

After listening to Li Shicheng's words, everyone felt very surprised, but what surprised them was not that Li Shicheng was a person who would release snakes in his companion's room, but that they didn't expect that Li Shicheng and He Zhongyu would have such an unpleasant past, and when Li Shicheng suddenly fell to the ground and died that day, he was drinking with He Zhongyu, and then he collapsed before he could drink that glass of wine, but this news was really important to Ye Xing and them.

The conversation with Shi Santong ended here, and at this time, it was already noon, after Ye Xing and the others left the mansion, they found an inn to eat, and after lunch, several of them went directly to He Zhongyu, they had already ruled out He Zhongyu, because when Li Shicheng was poisoned, he only came into contact with Li Shicheng, and it was impossible to poison him, but after listening to Shi Santong's words, they felt that visiting He Zhongyu should have unexpected gains.

He Zhongyu should belong to the type of depressed person in the capital, and at that time, he became Jinshi's companions with him, such as Li Shicheng and Shi Santong, and others, all of whom had been promoted to third-grade officials, whether military attachés or civil officials, and He Zhongyu was still only a small five-rank soldier in the capital.

I guess he must be very depressed in his heart.

When Ye Xing and others came to He Zhongyu's house, He Zhongyu was drinking tea in his room, and although his mansion was not big, it was very clean, and it gave people a comfortable feeling, making people feel that the owner here must be a hermit who saw Nanshan leisurely, there were only two men and two maids in He Zhongyu's house, and a man led Ye Xing and others into the living room, and after a while, He Zhongyu hurriedly greeted him, and said: "King Daming is coming to the cold house, it is really far away." ”

This He Zhongyu spoke politely to people, Ye Xing invited He Zhongyu to sit down, and then asked: "We came to your mansion today because there are a few things in the case of Li Shicheng's murder that I want to ask He Langzhong, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Ye Xing's courtesy made He Zhongyu a little difficult to adapt to for a while, but he still nodded: "If King Daming has anything to ask, just say hello, I must know everything." ”

What made Ye Xing feel comfortable was that He Zhongyu didn't ask Ye Xing, the commander of Jinyiwei had obviously caught the murderer, and Yang Shiqi had already admitted that he had killed someone, so why did Ye Xing ask?

He Zhongyu didn't ask this question, and Ye Xing had a little more affection for him.

"At the banquet that day, why did you find Li Shicheng to drink?" Ye Xing looked at He Zhongyu and asked, but He Zhongyu didn't seem to understand what Ye Xing meant by this, and asked: "Everyone is an official of the imperial court, and I have known Li Shicheng again, so there shouldn't be any problem in toasting him with a glass of wine, right?" ”

I don't know if He Zhongyu pretended to be stupid or he didn't understand the meaning of Ye Xing's words at all, so Ye Xing said very directly this time: "I heard that you and Li Shicheng are fellow scholars, but when you went to Beijing together to take the exam, there was a conflict, I am very strange, since you have a conflict, on the day of Ji Gang's birthday, why do you want to drink with him, when the enemy sees each other, shouldn't you die of old age and never get along, or is it extraordinarily red-eyed?"

After listening to Ye Xing's words, He Zhongyu couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, He Zhongyu said: "It turns out that King Daming said this matter, that's right, at that time, we went to Beijing together to take the exam, and Li Shicheng and I did have some unpleasantness because of the fight for the house, but after so many years, I have long forgotten about this matter, if it wasn't for King Daming to bring it up today, I'm afraid I don't remember this matter at all." ”

Ye Xing looked at He Zhongyu, did he tell the truth, did he really forget that thing, but Ye Xing found that there was something wrong with what He Zhongyu said, so Ye Xing hurriedly asked: "I heard that you lived in that south-facing room, but you couldn't live in it after one night, because there were snakes in it, right?" ”

Hearing Ye Xing say this, He Zhongyu's face changed suddenly, I don't know if it was because he remembered the events at that time, just imagine, sleeping alone in the room, and suddenly a snake crawled onto his bed, what kind of thing is it that makes people lose their courage, this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will become a nightmare for a lifetime.

It took a long time for He Zhongyu to recover, and the recovered He Zhongyu's face was ugly, he looked at Ye Xing and said: "This matter, it was not certain that Li Shicheng did it at that time, so after so many years, I have never decided that he did it, King Daming suddenly asked this question, is it suspected that I have a grudge against Li Shicheng and find a way to kill him?" ”

Now He Zhongyu seems to have heard something from Ye Xing's words, and he wants to find out what is going on, or what Ye Xing has mastered, but Ye Xing just smiled at He Zhongyu and said, "No, Li Shicheng was poisoned to death, I believe you have no chance to poison, so I don't doubt you." ”
