Accompanied by the Rong brothers, Yan Bing and Ah Yi were finally not so pitiful, and they went out and found their maidservants, and then the group was escorted back to the backyard by Wen Yuan.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, before he could exit with his younger brother, several people heard a chaotic whisper from the house, and in an instant, the frightened screams of the eldest aunt resounded in the sultry night sky: "Old lady, old lady is gone!" ”

That's it, and he died? Remembering the "stroke" that others said before, which is about the meaning of "stroke", Yan Bing was in a trance for a moment, she thought that her grandfather was just wearing a little thicker clothes and suffering from heat stroke, and she would wake up when she returned to the room to cool off, but she didn't expect it to be separated forever all of a sudden.

Ninety years old, old age can be regarded as a joy and mourning, but why do you still feel a little inexplicably sad? Yan Bing thought of the kind old man who was still laughing with herself, and couldn't help but redden.

"Ah Bing, Ah Yi, I'm going to take Wen Heng back now, take care of yourself." Wen Yuan immediately said goodbye to the twins at the door - the main family is in a funeral, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to stay together.

Before turning around, he hesitated and suddenly pulled the two of them by his hand, and whispered to them: "Your grandfather may not have had a stroke but was poisoned, and before he is buried, see if his fingernails, gums, etc. are blue and black." Erlang's body has improved a lot, and he won't wheezing and coughing for no reason, so when he heard him, he thought he had inhaled the powder on the noodles of sweet potato balls...... Anyway, be careful. ”

After speaking, he pulled Wen Heng and left quickly, leaving only Yan Bing and Ah Yi, who had heard the news of the explosion, stunned on the spot.

It's been quiet for the past five years, so much so that she only remembered in hindsight that the matter of being thrown into the mountains hadn't really ended. Moreover, recently, Ah Yi not only reads well, but also writes several poems that have been praised by his uncle, and gradually spread some fame. On the contrary, the eldest brother landed twice, and the seventeen-year-old cousin was also bluntly told by the master that he wrote poems and articles lacking aura, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to excel in Jinshike, so he was persuaded to switch to the Ming Scripture.

“…… Mu Xiu is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it," Ah Yi also whispered faintly, and then calmed down, pulled up Yan Bing and said, "Let's go, go in and send Ah Weng, by the way, take a look." ”

The two turned around and walked to the door of their grandfather's bedroom, but saw Aunt Pan standing by the window under the porch and looking in.

The two brothers and sisters solemnly entered the inner room, but saw that A-Niang, who had disappeared before, suddenly appeared again at this moment, and was leaning over and calling in Ah Weng's ear: "Erlang can't come back for a while while in office, and his daughter-in-law has already sent someone to deliver news to him, you close your eyes first, and he will definitely rush back to see you off when the funeral comes." ”

After speaking, she raised her hand and wiped it towards the old man's eyes...... But it didn't work, he still stared.

Staring at it stunned by the jet-black eyes, Li suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and subconsciously took a small step back.

She forced the trembling of her hands to look around, and suddenly saw a pair of children, and immediately beckoned: "Hurry up, Ah Yi and Ah Bing came forward to say goodbye to Ah Weng, he usually likes you the most." ”

The two of them immediately stepped forward, and while saying goodbye, they quietly looked at it: the purple lips that were half-closed and half-opened, the black blue at the base of the five nails that were slightly buckled into a circle, and the black blood oozing from the gums, all of them really showed that the grandfather did indeed have signs of poisoning. Yan Bing has seen stroke patients before, and she will never do that.

She and Ah Yi glanced at each other, their eyes were full of speechless horror, and when they saw that their grandfather didn't bat and refused to close their eyes, they were even more angry and resentful and couldn't help crying.

"Ah Weng may not have had a stroke, but was poisoned." After thinking for a while, Yan Bing opened her mouth crisply.

It is impossible for a ten-year-old child to secretly act alone to find evidence to find the murderer, she calculates, she can only expose a qiē ugliness in the public first, and then report to the official to investigate when the elders are noisy, there will always be a result.

Who knew that as soon as her voice fell, she was yelled at by the double performance of the uncle and the aunt: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" ”

How can it be poisoning, it is obviously a stroke, it is a joy and mourning! Poisoning, poisoning in your own home, no matter who makes a mistake, this family will be ruined, the youngest son is talking about kissing, how can this happen!

"Yes, yes, the child is talking nonsense, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are really sorry. I'll take them back to change into plain clothes, and you guys will be busy first. The Li family, who usually has a high posture, has weakened his momentum at this time, apologized again and again, and dragged his children's hands to pull them away.

The Li family was born petite, Ah Yi and Ah Bing were only a head shorter than her, how could she be dragged one by one. Yan Bing broke free with a flick of one hand, but Ah Yi hugged Li's arm hard and didn't let her catch her sister.

"No, I'm not leaving." Yan Bing bent down and threw herself in front of her grandfather's bed, shouting, "Ah Weng, you were poisoned, didn't you?" As soon as the words fell, I saw a cloudy teardrop slipping from the corner of the old lady's eyes, and the onlookers couldn't help but gasp when they saw this.

"Ah Weng, you have been wronged, Ah Bing knows," Yan Bing trembled her lips, tried to open a pair of hazy teary eyes, rubbed and held her grandfather's hand, and cut the railway, "You can go with peace of mind, Ah Bing and Ah Yi will avenge you!" ”

As soon as he said these resounding words, Old Lady Shu slowly closed his eyes and closed his mouth gently, and then a trace of black blood slowly overflowed along the corner of his lips and slowly slid down.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly outside the house, but everyone inside suddenly felt that the surroundings were full of ghosts, and they couldn't help swallowing saliva and shrunk their necks.

Li Shiyao pointed at Yan Bing with anger, and shouted: "You, what are you messing around with this kid?!" Hurry up and come home. ”

"Ah Niang, do you want Ah Weng to die without turning a blind eye, and go to the dream to find someone to tell him about his grievances?" After speaking, she didn't look at the Li family, who was so angry enough, that she turned her head directly to look at the uncle, "Ah Weng is bleeding black blood, everyone has seen it, don't you report it to the official?" ”

Seeing that Yanbing's eldest brother Ah Sheng was unrelenting, he couldn't help but persuade: "You are still young, I'm afraid you don't know, the law stipulates that relatives are not allowed to tell each other." The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, even if Ah Weng is really not a happy mourner, then we have to close the door and secretly judge it. ”

"Brother, do you know that the master is committing a crime and not a slave?" Yan Bing had an innocent expression on her face, but the words she asked almost roasted Shu Xingsheng on the stove.

Because of the tacit understanding of the twins, Ah Yi also said with a knife on the side: "What's more, the law of relatives not telling each other does not include heinous crimes such as killing relatives and plotting treason. ”

"According to the law of the Great Qi, whoever harbors a criminal who has committed a capital crime and does not denounce it will be given a hundred rods." Yan Bing continued to add instructions. Zhuma Rong Wenyuan has always liked to read the law books, and she has also learned a lot on weekdays, and it is very important to not be blind no matter when and where.

"Enough! You both shut up for me. How can you little children talk nonsense on this occasion. Li Shi interrupted Yan Bing's follow-up words with an angry shout.

Qian Shi happened to answer in a weird way: "The two yellow-mouthed children kept claiming to be poisoned, and insisted that there was a problem with my family's food, Ah Bing, why didn't you doubt yourself first?" In the end, you were the only one in the teahouse, and God knows what you ate for him. It's not like you're poisoned by eating the dishes on the table, right? Everyone ate everything. ”

"That's right, can't it be that something broke in the heat and the old lady couldn't stand it? Someone has to poison it? Who would take such a big risk to do something that doesn't benefit them? The lobby brother also stepped forward and scolded them with a series of rhetorical questions.

The uncle did not stand idly by, and immediately called the servants to the kitchen to check and guard it, just in case.

Ah Weng is most likely to have received it on behalf of Ah Yi, which is inconvenient to say. And the last thing he ate alone, Wen Yuan suspected, was only that plate of sweet potato balls.

Yan Bing suddenly hesitated, hesitating to point this out. The people who make the balls and send the balls are all Yanjie, but she and Ah Yi have no conflict of interest, and even ask that she is looking forward to the birthday banquet to behave well, and there is no motive to commit a crime at all.

Speaking of which, the suspect is either himself or Siniang, they are all in the second room! It's too bad.

Faced with the eldest aunt's questioning, Yan Bing hurriedly borrowed her cousin's words to briefly clear the charge: "I have no reason to harm Ah Weng. ”

Then she wondered again, was it really as her cousin said, she inadvertently ate a bad stomach? Sweet potato balls, sweet potato ......

Yan Bing suddenly turned her head, looked at Siniang who was standing in the corner with a somewhat dull expression, and asked puzzledly: "Sister, what kind of sweet potato balls do you make?" Is it round and pointy, or does it look a little slender? What exactly is the white powder sprinkled on the surface of the meatballs? ”

"You, you doubt me?" Yanjie's face was incredulous, and she replied tremblingly, "Are you crazy?" How could it be me! ”

"I'm just wondering what the hell is going on with that very special faint bitter taste in my heart." Yan Bing, out of the taste and intuition of a former dim sum chef, thinks that there is indeed something wrong with the sweet potato balls.

"Isn't it almond flour? It's just a snowflake decoration. Yan Jie replied casually, and before she could describe what the sweet potato looked like, the servant who went to check on the kitchen had already returned with a piece of rhizome the size of an earthy arm.

This is a rare thing he has never seen in the kitchen, and he doesn't know if there is poison.

Yan Bing only glanced up, her heart sank, and she couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Sister, this is cassava, not ordinary sweet potato." Eating raw is highly toxic and requires rinsing for a few days to cook thoroughly before eating. ”

"No, it won't, it can't be! I ate it too! Yanjie suddenly burst into tears, and then her face turned white and her legs went weak, and she fell to her knees.

Poisoning her grandfather is such a disobedient and unfilial crime, she can't afford to bear ten of them!
