Zhan Zhao and others went to Lanyu Tower to find Ying'er, but they encountered a strange scene... In front of so many experts, Ying'er was strangled to death by the "ghost" on the stage.

For a moment, the entire theater became in chaos.

The so-called bad things are spreading thousands of miles away. Originally, Ying'er and Qiao Baiwan were all known to everyone in the theater. It was really not worth it to follow Qiao Baiwan in her great years. In addition, the story of Qiao's grandmother "devouring himself by jumping into the lake" was spreading in restaurants and teahouses. Many people think that Ying'er and Qiao Baiwan adulterers and wife forced Qiao Da's grandmother to death will sooner or later be retribution.

As a result, this scene was staged in full view. The gossip of the people in Kaifeng City was aroused, and many people who watched the show rushed out of the theater and told everyone that retribution was coming! Ying'er was strangled to death by the evil ghost. In addition, the news that Qiao Baiwan was hanging in Liang's family also spread, and soon, the city was full of wind and rain.

Zhan Zhao led the yamen runners from Kaifeng Prefecture to maintain order.

But the people in the opera troupe are easy to manage. As soon as the audience saw that the life lawsuit was found, they were scared away.

Bai Yutang noticed just now that Ying'er was suddenly shocked and stared at a certain direction in the audience. But at this time, the table and chairs in the west building were overturned, and the one who should have run away had run away.

The shopkeeper of Lan Yulou was almost crying, and he stood on the stage and stomped his feet, "What kind of evil did he do?"

Although Zhao Pu didn't believe it, Ying'er, who was lying on the ground in front of her, was too real.

Xiao Liangzi also pulled Bai Yutang's hem and asked, "Brother Bai, is there really a ghost?"

The fifth master naturally didn't believe it. He reached out and touched Xiao Liangzi's head, signaling him to give the result to Gongsun and his son who were waiting for Ying'er to take the autopsy.

The little Sizi mentioned his father holding a medicine box and looked at the corpse on the ground.

Gongsun put on gloves, turned Ying'er's head left and right, focused on checking her neck, and then opened her mouth to take a look.

Chao Ma Han gathered all the members of the troupe together and stood in the audience and waited.

The corners in the west building began to talk, and many people thought Ying'er was suffering retribution.

Zhan Zhao asked Ying'er who she usually had close contact with.

The shopkeeper of Lanyulou pulled out three people, saying that Ying'er spent the most time with the three of them on weekdays.

One is a little girl who looks two years younger than Ying'er. She is named Xiaoyu. She is Ying'er's personal maid. She serves Ying'er's daily life and lives next to Ying'er.

One of them is a partner with Ying'er, named Man Yuanfang. He looks like a young master of Wensheng and speaks very weakly. Man Yuanfang is a stage name. Because he is good at planting flowers, he raises flowers in the house and always has the fragrance of flowers on his body, so everyone calls him that.

Another one is Ying'er's good sister Cui Lian, who is also a corner, and she has a similar status in Lanyulou. She is one year younger than Ying'er and is also popular recently.

Zhan Zhao asked these three people if Ying'er had any abnormalities recently.

All three of them said that Ying'er had been flirting with Qiao Baiwan recently, so she was arrogant all day long. She always said that Qiao Baiwan would soon marry her and become a big grandmother, and would never have to perform again in the future. She would show up in public and be inferior.

The others in the building were very disgusted with her and said that she was shameless or something.

"So Ying'er has a bad relationship with the people in the building recently, right?" Zhan Zhao asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's sweat was wiping his sweat. Indeed, Ying'er has offended many people recently.

"Have Ying'er sent a letter to Mrs. Qiao?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Xiaoyu nodded. Three days ago, Ying'er wrote a letter asking her to find someone to send it to Qiao's mansion to the eldest grandma. Ying'er went out that day and came back very late. She was very happy after she came back and drank a lot of wine.

"The lady was drinking in a daze that day, and she said, "That Sangmenxing is not blocking my aunt's way."

"She drank alone that night?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"No, Mr. Qiao is here too. After drinking, Mr. Qiao said something was wrong, so he took the bus back."

"Oh! Calculate the day, did Grandma Qiao happen that day?"

"Can these two adulterers and women kill people, right?"

...

After listening to Xiaoyu's narration, the troupe started a new round of discussion.

Just when everyone thought it was a resentful ghost who was seeking his life, Gongsun stood up, took off his gloves and said, "Don't blame the evil ghost. Ying'er was not strangled to death, but was poisoned to death."

Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu both came over to see.

Zhan Zhao also returned to the stage.

Gongsun said, "The poison in Ying'er first damaged her lungs and made her unable to breathe, so she would suffocate to death. She would grab her neck with her hands because she was uncomfortable because she couldn't breathe, not someone pinched her neck. Besides, if she was strangled to death by external forces, her neck bones would definitely be damaged, but this body was not at all. I also found the toxins on her body, and she was poisoned by the Violent Herb."

"Deadly Grass?" Zhan Zhao seemed to have heard of this poison.

"The Violent Herb is highly poisonous and seals the throat when blood is exposed to the throat. Two drops of this thing are dripped in water. If used to water the flowers, it can make the flowers bright and prevent insects at the same time." Gongsun explained it to him.

"What about this handprint?" Zhao Pu was very interested. In fact, what made the whole thing so strange was the most important thing.

"This handprint is not put on now." Gongsun continued, "The toxicity of the Viagra can make the color appear. The pinching mark on Ying'er's neck may have been caused by a few days ago. The surface has faded, but the injury has actually been there. Just like the strangulation mark on Mrs. Qiao's neck before, it can't be seen after being soaked in water. The potion I used to apply her neck to contain the ingredients of Viagra."

Everyone knows it—this is the case.

Gongsun smiled slightly, "I think the handprint that pinched her neck might be really left by Grandma Qiao... Of course not after death, but before death."

Gongsun dragged Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang and demonstrated it to Zhan Zhao.

"For example, the prince is Ying'er, and the fifth master is Grandma Qiao."

Gongsun asked Bai Yutang to stumbling Zhao Pu's neck.

"That day, the two had an argument after meeting. Mrs. Qiao grabbed Ying'er's neck and wanted to strangle her to death. If I was Qiao Baiwan, just as Mrs. Qiao pinched Ying'er, she pulled silk and strangled her neck and strangled her from behind."

"Yes!" Xiaoyu also remembered, "That night, the lady did touch her neck a few times and said something, 'It was all your own question'."

"Actually, the murderer who killed Ying'er is here." Gongsun looked at the audience members of the opera troupe. "The Violent Grass is highly poisonous. After being poisoned, it is basically immediately poisoned. In other words, the person who poisoned Ying'er was just next to her. If you want someone to poison it without knowing it, the best way is to prepare a poison needle and stab Ying'er on it and it will be done... Who was next to Ying'er just now? Who likes to grow flowers and understand the toxicity of Violent Grass?"

Gongsun's words made everyone stunned and turned around to see Man Yuanfang with pale faces.

"You were standing behind Ying'er just now!" Several supporting actors on the stage pointed at Man Yuanfang.

"Search for any poisonous needles on him!" Gongsun pointed at Yuanfang.

When Man Yuanfang saw him running away, he was caught by the dynasty Ma Han who was blocking him.

Ma Han found a small bamboo tube from him, which contained a poisonous needle, and there was still blood on the needle.

The shopkeeper asked Man Yuanfang why he killed Ying'er.

Man Yuanfang also revealed her true face at this time and cursed Ying'er for being shameless and dying...

It turned out that they were originally a couple, but later Ying'er abandoned Man Yuanfang and Qiao Baiwan for money. Man Yuanfang held a grudge and always wanted to kill Ying'er to take revenge.

A strange murder case of a ghost was solved on the spot.

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu clapped at Gongsun.

"Sir, amazing!"

Everyone in the garden clapped their hands together.

Gongsun was a little embarrassed and waved his hand, "I dare not take it if I don't deserve it, I dare not take it..."

After the storm, although the female ghost was not caught, the case was solved unexpectedly. Everyone in Kaifeng was in a good mood and returned to Kaifeng Mansion.

When I arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, I saw that Lord Bao had already returned.

Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er were running in and out of the room. In the yard, Xu Yun sat down and sighed, Bao Yan and Pang Yu were all comforting him.

Zhan Zhao told Lord Bao about what happened in Qiao Mansion and Lanyulou just now. Lord Bao was very happy and praised Gongsun a few words, and told Zhan Zhao to continue to investigate Qiao Baiwan's death. Lord Bao didn't believe that any evil ghosts were seeking their lives.

Everyone asked Xu Zansheng and Meilie if they had a quarrel in the Golden Palace.

Lord Bao was also amused and crying.

The emperor probably has been in such a good mood these days, and he doesn't mind the two old men quarreling in the Golden Palace as it is inappropriate. He ate melon seeds and held a teacup to watch the two old men quarrel. After reading it, he said why should the two children break up with each other? He asked Mei Xiaoxiao and Xu Yun to live in Kaifeng Mansion for a while. The two old men Mei Lie and Xu Zansheng went to Kaifeng Mansion to think about their mistakes, and left everything to Lord Bao to make a final decision.

After the judgment, the emperor was in a good mood to go back to accompany his wife. Lord Bao and the Grand Master felt that the emperor did not want to mediate in essence, but just wanted to listen to gossip.

At this moment, the guest rooms in Kaifeng Mansion were almost insufficient. Mei Lie and Xu Zansheng were each one, and now they were thinking about their mistakes facing the wall.

Lord Bao and Master Pang asked Xu Zansheng all the way, and asked him why he suddenly disagreed with the marriage and had to move out overnight, but Xu Zansheng hesitated and refused to say it.

Both the Grand Master and Lord Bao felt that there must be something hidden here, but people did not break the law, and they could not beat or scold them, so they could only wait for him to speak.

Mrs. Bao accompanied Mei Xiaoxiao, Xu Yun and Bao Yan for a few days. In addition, Xue Xianggui also lived in the guest room of Kaifeng Prefecture, and asked Mr. Bao to behead his son and not kill him. Qin Chaoxu, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, also came and said that he would wait for his daughter here, and he would not leave if his daughter did not come back.

It is difficult for a honest official to make a decision on family affairs, and Lord Bao is helpless - what is this called a matter.

...

The night ended in a noisy way. The next day, everyone got up early, and those who went to school went to court.

Today, a large number of foreign missions will arrive in Kaifeng one after another, and everyone has their own affairs.

Gongsun did not go to Taixue to teach, and the bodies of Qiao Baiwan and Mrs. Qiao were still lying in the coroner's room. He would like to have a autopsy later.

Zhao Pu wanted to go to the near Guanshi, but Ouyang Shaozheng ran away last night and didn't come to Kaifeng this morning. Long Qiaoguang was still on holiday with his wedding. He Yihang felt that Kaifeng Mansion was too chaotic and dangerous, so he took Chen Shaoxi back to Heifeng City after the wedding banquet. The Ninth Prince had to ask Zou Liang for help... But General Zuo shot himself in the foot, and is still a rickshaw driver.

Zhao Pu couldn't bear it anymore and told Lin Yehuo that Zou Liang lied to him, but Huofeng and General Zuo started fighting in the yard.

Zhao Pu simply stopped going to the inn and dragged Xiao Liangzi to the military camp.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left the city early in the morning and decided to go and see if there were any clues.

The little Sizi took a bun, picked up a small bucket at the door, filled a bucket of apples, and went to the backyard to feed the horses, leaving Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang to fight each other in the yard.

...

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Sizi met the Tianzun who was strolling back with an egg cake.

"Zun Zun." The little fourth son greeted Tianzun and looked behind him, "Where is the most sincere?"
