Chapter 18: The scene of the murder

When Sun Ling'er saw Bao Zheng, her expression was cold and said, "Young Master Bao is newly married, and she can actually come from a family to see my grandfather. It's really rare." Sun Ling'er's words were full of gunpowder.

Master He coughed at this time and said, "Ling'er, don't be rude. Mr. Bao is a guest."

Sun Ling'er snorted, and she was about to walk back as soon as she whipped her mouth. She didn't want to see Bao Zheng and wanted to hide away.

Zhang Yuxi said at this time: "Sister Ling'er, I haven't talked to you in my heart for a long time. If I don't mind, can I go to the inner hall to say a few words to Ling'er? When Sister Xian'er was here, I often came here. Recently, I have become unfamiliar with Sister Ling'er."

After hearing Zhang Yuxi's words, Sun Ling'er pursed her mouth and replied with a cold expression: "Fortunately, you still remember that you are close friends with my lady. I really want to hear what you want to say?" Sun Ling'er turned around and walked into the back hall. Zhang Yuxi glanced at Bao Zheng and Xiaoyun and followed him.

Master He said at this time: "This girl Ling'er is spoiled by Xian'er. She speaks without rules. Bao Zheng, you don't have to take your heart. You all sit down and drink tea without being restrained."

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Celin Yan and others were sitting in the guest rooms on both sides. Bao Zheng said seriously: "Sir, what happened to the poisoning of students in the academy this time? Mr. tells Bao Zheng that Bao Zheng might be able to help."

Mr. He sighed: "The students who were poisoned have come to the school recently from other provinces. They have only been enrolled for more than a month. Yesterday, several people suddenly foamed in the cohabitation courtyard. The doctor diagnosed them as poisoned, prescribed prescriptions, and applied injections, but they still had no way to make things happen. Several people later broke their breath."

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Where are they now being placed?"

Gongsun Ce spoke at this time: "I saw Liu Tongzong pulling them away with his car this morning. I guess it should be placed in the charity village."

Bao Zheng asked at this time: "I don't know if the coroner has an autopsy. If there is no notice of the coroner's autopsy, the government cannot conclude that these people were poisoned. Even if a few people were poisoned, Mr. He would not be involved. At most, it is a crime of management negligence and there will be no prison disaster." Bao Zheng had the law of the Song Dynasty that Bao Zheng had read in his mind before, so he made these inferences.

Lin Yan said at this time: "If it is just a dereliction of management, the Master will just lose money and eliminate disasters. If the families of several deceased students come to the academy to make trouble, they will not be able to pay a large amount of hush money."

Mr. He sighed and said, "If you really lose money, it's still a trivial matter. I'm afraid there will be other twists and turns. If someone frames it, everything will be a different matter."

After hearing what Mr. He said, Bao Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "How come sir, how could he feel like this? Could it be that something happened before that made the Master notice the clue?"

Mr. He spoke with a helpless tone and said, "This starts half a year ago. Half a year ago, Zhang Li, a rich man in Luzhou City, suddenly said that he would acquire all the land under the name of Luzhou Academy, but the offer was very low. I refused. Within half a year, Zhang Li and his younger brother Zhang Yan looked for me more than a dozen times. Although the price had increased, it was still far lower than the price I bought these fields. I never agreed. In the end, the two of them were furious and even had a big fight with me in the academy. After that, although the two often appeared around, they did not mention buying the fields again. I suspected that this incident was closely related to the two of them."

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he spoke, "Mr. Is it the Luzhou Erhu, Zhang Li and Zhang Yan? They are famous bullies in Luzhou. By robbing for force, they became rich people in Luzhou. They have a very poor reputation in Luzhou City."

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Even if this is the case, we can only guess that the two of them are suspicious. We have no evidence, and we can't do anything to them."

Master He said at this time: "Fortunately, Punishment Liu Tong took over this case. He was fair and cut many cases in Luzhou Prefecture. He did not abuse his power. He was famously selfless. I am afraid that the person who started the attack had been planning for a long time and could not find any clues."

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "I don't know where those scholars were killed. Let's go to the scene to see it, maybe we can find clues."

Everyone agreed. Mr. He took the keys in the back hall and walked out. The guards at the door did not stop him, but just followed him to monitor.

Bao Zheng walked a few people for a cup of tea before walking to a courtyard with a closed door. Master He opened the door with the key, and several people walked into the courtyard.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Bao Zheng and others felt a gloomy chill in the yard. The old master opened the lock on the door of the east wing again.

Mr. He said, "Those scholars were found in this wing room when they were poisoned."

Bao Zheng first walked into the room. As a time traveler, he had natural immunity to those strange and chaotic things. Bao Zheng was not afraid and carefully searched every detail in the house.

There is only one Eight Immortals Table, a bed, and a bookcase in the house. Obviously, this is the bedroom of one of the few scholars. Not everyone can afford a single courtyard in the academy. Ordinary poor people can only share a few people with one courtyard and one room in each. Even so, the living conditions of Luzhou Academy are the best in the surrounding academies.

There were four pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the Eight Immortals table, but the bowl was empty. From the number, it can be seen that there were four people who were poisoned, and it is very likely that they were poisoned by eating the things in the bowl.

Master He looked at Bao Zheng's actions and couldn't help but look at him. If others encounter such a thing, they should hide as far as they want to avoid getting into bad luck. However, Bao Zheng carefully investigated for himself without any scruples, and it can be seen that Bao Zheng really wanted to help him.

When Master He saw Bao Zheng thinking about the bowl and chopsticks, he immediately spoke: "The food in the bowl has been taken away by Liu Tongzong. However, according to Liu Tongzong's speculation, the food in the bowl should be non-toxic. Because the silver needle has not turned black after being probed."

Bao Zheng took the bowl and looked at it, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "In fact, the silver needle does not turn black, and things do not necessarily have no poison. The poison in the world is ever-changing. It is obviously too superficial to test the poison with the silver needle."

Gongsun Ce spoke at this time: "Brother Bao has also studied poisons? Poisonous substances, silver needles, have always been a means of coronering and autopsy. Does Brother Bao have a better way?"

Bao Zheng did not answer Gongsun Ce's question immediately. He just continued to look around for a while before speaking: "In fact, some poisoning methods are difficult to guess. It is afraid that it will not work without fire-eyed golden hearts. If you want to find out whether a thing is poisonous, the easiest way is to eat something for a small living creature and you will know everything."

Bao Zheng looked around while talking, and his eyes suddenly fell on a wooden basin under the bed. Bao Zheng took a few steps forward and pulled out the wooden basin. After looking at it for a long time, he held it up and put it up to his nose and smelled it.

Everyone was surprised to see his strange behavior. Bao Zheng put down the wooden basin at this time and smiled: "Actually, the poisoner had already started at least a month ago. These scholars actually took poison every day, but they just didn't know it."
