Investigating the real culprit (update 1)

Because of the jade pendant with the word Ning engraved on it, both Su Liang and Ning Jing believed that Ning Yao was the biggest suspect. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙭.𝙘𝙤𝙢Read

But this is just speculation.

There are other enemies in Pingjing, and there is one in Pingbeicheng. Mr. Li San, who wants to steal Zheng'er, marries Pingbeicheng's sister, Miss Li Si, who is now the Xiao family's wife.

As for Su Liang saying that he wanted to go to Xunyang City to kill Ning Yao first, Ning Jing said that we would talk about it later.

Whether it was Ning Yao or Mrs. Xiao, the purpose was for Ningjing.

But after Su Liang calmed down, he realized something was wrong, Both Ning Yao and Li Si are not good people. With their previous methods, as long as they take action, they will not leave you a way to survive. In this case, only if someone in the academy dies can you be saved. Totally stuck.

Even if it is found out that it was not Ning Jing who did it but his enemies, he will definitely be caught by the victim, and the world will think that he is the one who brought disaster to the academy.

Ning Jing said thoughtfully, Are you saying that the poison in the well water tonight is not poisonous enough?

Su Liang nodded, It's really not enough. If I really plan to poison people to harm you, there are 'better' choices, and they won't give me a chance to save people. Even if I'm not here, I believe the doctors in Pingbei City will also There are ways to detoxify, but it may cause some seriously ill people to die if they are not treated in time.

Ningjing kept thinking about himself because of that jade pendant, and he didn't understand medicine after all.

After listening to Su Liang's words, I also felt that there was something fishy going on.

Su Liang suddenly thought, Is there anyone from the Xiao family in the academy?

They had previously thought that someone had sneaked into the academy and poisoned him, but the poison was not cruel enough.

What if someone in the academy did it and was also poisoned in order not to be suspected? As long as you are young and in good health and don’t eat much for dinner, you can be sure that you will become the perfect victim but survive to the end...

Even if Su Liang didn't take action, there were more than a dozen people in the least poisoned batch, and even if they didn't detoxify specifically, they wouldn't die.

Among them, will there be poisoners?

Ning Jing was about to ask Lin Shuzhi when Lin Xueqing came.

She had been helping to take care of the poisoned people. Her clothes were dirty, her hair was messy, and she looked tired.

Sister Su, dad asked me to tell you that everything is fine! Lin Xueqing looked at Su Liang with a grateful face, her eyes were red, I was scared to death, what if someone really died! Sister Su, you are so amazing!

Su Liang didn't pay attention to this and asked Lin Xueqing directly, Is there a young master from the Xiao family in the academy?

Lin Xueqing was stunned, The Xiao family? The Xiao family that does the ceramics business in Pingbeicheng? There is a young master Xiao, the younger brother of the Xiao family owner, named Xiao Shirong. He didn't even pass the exam as a scholar, so he was just an uneducated dandy. Forced in. After several times of pressure from the government, plus the Xiao family paying to build a road from the academy to the foot of the mountain, and building a new dormitory for the academy, my father finally had no choice but to agree to take Xiao Shirong in. In fact, now the academy’s Dad can no longer make the decision on many things. The Xiao family once asked my dad to propose marriage to me on behalf of Xiao Shirong, but my dad refused without even asking me. New𝟞𝟡Book →𝟞𝟡𝕤𝕙𝕦𝕩.𝕔𝕠𝕞If he had asked, I would have scolded him. of!

Lin Xueqing finished speaking in one breath, and then she remembered to ask Su Liang, What happened to the Xiao family? Why does sister Su ask this?

Is Xiao Shirong poisoned? Su Liang asked again.

Lin Xueqing frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, I didn't see him tonight. He is not used to living in the college dormitory on weekdays. The Xiao family originally proposed to build a separate courtyard for him to live in, but my father sternly refused. He probably wants to I won’t be back until tomorrow.”

It didn't match what Su Liang guessed, but Su Liang became more suspicious of the Xiao family.

She asked Lin Xueqing to get paper and pen, write a questionnaire, Give this to Master. The well was poisoned, and everyone in the academy today is a suspect, including the person who was poisoned. Everyone must be investigated. .”

Lin Xueqing took a look and saw that there were many questions written on it, including where she was and what she was doing every day during the five-day holiday, and whether anyone could testify. Everything about eating and sleeping must be detailed, covering twelve hours without omissions.

Post it and ask them to write it down and hand it in. Su Liang said, For such a serious matter, the government will also investigate it later. But the Xiao family obviously managed the government well, so they had to act first. Get the evidence.

Su Liang felt that if it was the Xiao family who did it, and Mr. Xiao was not asked to do it himself, and instead found someone else, the possibility is not small.

Lin Xueqing was about to leave when Su Liang asked again, Who does Xiao Shirong have a good relationship with in the academy? He is rich and powerful, so he should have followers.

Yes, there are a few people behind him every time he appears. But I hate that person very much, and I don't pay attention to who is close to him. Lin Xueqing said, Oh, by the way, there is one I know! It’s Ma Yaozu who is tied with Senior Brother Ning for the Bei’an County Academy Examination! He is also very annoying. He spread a lot of bad things about Senior Ning in the academy before I noticed him. He is very flattering to the person named Xiao and comes from Bei’an County. The other two scholars are somewhat at odds with each other.

Because after Lin Xueqing learned that Ning Jing was taking the imperial examination in Bei'an County, she wanted to find someone from there to ask about Ning Jing. However, she did not say that she knew Ning Jing. She only said that she was curious about what kind of person he was and why he didn't come to Qianshan. Academy.

In this way, Lin Xueqing got to know the two scholars who always went together, and also knew the murderer Ma Yaozu.

Su Liang thought thoughtfully, Ma Yaozu? Is he poisoned?

Lin Xueqing nodded, I got it, but it's not a big deal. I said I had lunch in the city. I wasn't hungry at night, so I didn't eat much.

She didn't ask those people one by one how much they had eaten. She was passing by and happened to hear Ma Yaozu talking to others.

I understand. You go to the master first. Su Liang was suspicious of Ma Yaozu, but he couldn't make any judgments now. He would first investigate everyone to see who had questions. When he got the questionnaire, maybe the answer would come to light.

After a lot of tossing, it was almost dawn.

Ning Jing fetched water, and after Su Liang briefly washed herself, she lay down and fell asleep.

Ning Jing went out and looked at the hazy sky at dawn, his face cold and as cold as a sculpture.

Lin Shuzhi saw the questionnaire that Lin Xueqing took and asked her to find a large piece of paper and copy it to prevent anyone from recognizing the handwriting of Su Liang and Ning Jing. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫sɥnx˙ɔoɯ

After Lin Xueqing copied it, Lin Shuzhi had the paper posted on the wall and informed everyone that they would answer the questions on the paper after they recovered and hand in their respective statements before noon today.

During this period, no one is allowed to enter or exit the academy.

The doctors who Lin Shuzhi asked to leave but didn't leave were all kept. They approached Lin Shuzhi for reasoning. Lin Shuzhi said that this was to avoid spreading the news and causing unnecessary panic, and asked them to understand and cooperate.

The poisoning crisis seems to have subsided, but only superficially.

Su Liang slept deeply this time, and when she woke up, it was almost noon.

Officers and soldiers brought porridge and steamed buns from the mountains and distributed them to the people in the academy.

On the table in Su Liang's room were two bowls of cold porridge and two large steamed buns. Lin Xueqing brought it to her and Ning Jing to eat, but she didn't see Ning Jing. Su Liang fell asleep and didn't call her.

Su Liang got out of bed, stretched her arms, took a deep breath, walked over and picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. She was really hungry.

After Su Liang drank a bowl of cold porridge and ate half a steamed bun and went out, Lin Xueqing happened to come in.

Sister Su, are you awake? I'll heat up the porridge for you to drink. Lin Xueqing said.

Su Liang shook his head, I drank it, no need to heat it up.

Lin Xueqing hadn't slept a wink since last night. After Su Liang asked her about the current situation, she asked her to go to sleep for a while.

No, I want to stay with dad. Lin Xueqing said and yawned.

Su Liang hugged her and entered the room, I'll go.

Sister Su, you are so kind. You are much more useful than me. Lin Xueqing hugged Su Liang and sighed, When the matter is found out, help me persuade dad to let go of this. Let's go to the capital. The academy is no longer the pure school he wanted. If this continues, I really don't know what will happen next time.

Su Liang nodded, That's exactly what I meant.

That's great. Dad will definitely listen to what you say. Lin Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief before going to sleep peacefully.

Su Liang didn't know where Ningjing was. When he found Lin Shuzhi, he was carefully reading the questionnaire he handed in.

When he saw Su Liang, Lin Shuzhi asked her if she was hungry.

Su Liang said that he had eaten and sat down to watch it with Lin Shuzhi.

Someone from the government just came to question me. They mentioned that the Xunyang Ning family came to the academy to cause trouble a few days ago, saying that it might be Ning Yao who did it again to murder Ning Jing, and other people were innocently implicated. Lin Shuzhi looked heavy, There is no basis for this. There is no evidence and it is simply pouring dirty water on Pingjing!

Su Liang sighed slightly, Master, what if Ning Yao really did it?

Lin Shuzhi frowned, Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. Even if it was Ning Yao who did it, Ning Jing is the victim, not the wrongdoer.

That's the truth, but if a person's life is really involved, it can't be solved with just a word of peace. Su Liang shook his head, Master protects the shortcomings, and outsiders won't care so much.

Lin Shuzhi's face darkened, Do you really think it was Ning Yao who did it?

Su Liang shook his head, I thought so at first. But now I feel that someone else did it and wanted to frame Ning Yao.

Even Ning Jing and Su Liang subconsciously doubted Ning Yao, let alone others?

After the commotion in the Ning family a few days ago, everyone in Pingbeicheng, especially Qianshan Academy, knew that Ning Yao and Ning Jing were in a relationship like fire and water.

It may not be that someone deliberately took advantage of this and played a very clever trick.

After all, Su Liang felt that if Ning Yao took action, he would rather poison Ning Jing directly instead of going to such trouble and implicating himself in a major case.

Who would do such a vicious thing? Lin Shuzhi was puzzled.

Su Liang told the truth that Ning Jing found a jade pendant with the word Ning engraved on it by the well last night.

Lin Shuzhi's expression changed drastically, Tell him not to take it out, otherwise many people will think he did it and won't care about the truth.

Lin Shuzhi did not want to hide the truth. He knew that it was not Ping Jing who did it. He did this to protect Ping Jing and to better find out the truth and prevent the real mastermind from succeeding.

Su Liang nodded, Master, don't worry, he knows. Then he mentioned the child named Zheng'er whom Lin Shuzhi had known for a long time.

After listening to this, Lin Shuzhi understood the origin of the child and what happened, and finally realized that what Su Liang really suspected was the Li Xiao family because Zheng'er had a grudge against them.

The Xiao family is actually a subsidiary of the Li family, and the fourth lady married to the Li family is the one who calls the shots.

But Mr. Xiao was not in the academy yesterday.

Su Liang turned over Ma Yaozu's questionnaire and took it out to read alone.

There wasn't much problem in the past few days. He mostly stayed in the academy and didn't go out.

Yesterday was the day when the results were released. Ma Yaozu wrote that after learning that he had failed the results, he felt depressed and went to drink alcohol. He stayed at the largest Huixiang Restaurant in Pingbeicheng for two hours before returning to the academy.

But as far as Su Liang knew, Ma Yaozu's family was poor. It doesn't cost money to come to Qianshan Academy to study, but you have to spend money to eat out.

Two hours in a restaurant is too long. If you don't spend enough money, the restaurant will probably kick you out.

Su Liang and Lin Shuzhi read everyone's questionnaires and picked out a few suspicious ones. Except for Ma Yaozu, whom Su Liang was the first to suspect, there are a few others who are a bit vague.

Lin Shuzhi called people over and asked them one by one. Ma Yaozu was in the middle.

One of them asked about a student who had been to a brothel the day before yesterday and did not dare to let anyone know.

Two others went to the gambling parlor together.

When it came to Ma Yaozu, he acted very calmly.

You were in the restaurant for two hours, why did you say there was no witness? Lin Shuzhi looked serious.

Ma Yaozu replied, The student was thinking that with so many people coming and going in the restaurant every day, the waiter must not remember which guests he received at what time, so he wrote that there was no witness.

Most people don't stay in the restaurant for that long. What happened yesterday, the waiter will definitely remember you. Lin Shuzhi said, I'll ask the officers and soldiers to go to the restaurant to bring someone over.

There was obvious panic in Ma Yaozu's eyes, Dean, are there any witnesses to anything that our classmates do?

Lin Shuzhi said coldly, Not all are involved, but those who are not found must be verified one by one. The murder of nearly a hundred famous people is such a serious crime, and no clues must be let go.

Why does the dean think it was done by someone in the academy? Maybe someone sneaked in to poison. Ma Yaozu said.

It's all possible. But first we need to find out who is in the academy, what do you think? Lin Shuzhi asked back.

Yes. Ma Yaozu narrowed his eyes, Actually, the student has an idea and I don't know whether he should say it or not.

Say it. Lin Shuzhi nodded.

The student is from Bei'an County. When the college examination was first conducted, someone from the Ning family in Xunyang framed Ning Jing. Before this time, people from the Ning family forced him to give up the imperial examination and go home, but to no avail. Yesterday, when the results were released, I learned that Ning Jing knew about it. Yuan, I think those who want to harm him from the Xunyang Ning family will be unable to restrain themselves from taking action. If they think Ning Jing lives in the academy and then poison him, it is very possible. Ma Yaozu said righteously, Last night Ningjing goes to check the well. If he finds any evidence, he may not deliberately conceal it in order to find out for himself. He is the one who should investigate most!

Lin Shuzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, You are quite thoughtful.

Ma Yaozu said quickly, The student just expressed his guess. It may not be right, but I hope the dean will report it to the government and conduct a thorough investigation so that the truth can be revealed.

Okay. Lin Shuzhi nodded, Go out and wait for the people from the restaurant to come.

Ma Yaozu's face froze. He didn't expect that Lin Shuzhi would continue to check him. He hesitated to speak. In the end, he said nothing and went out with his head lowered.

The officers and soldiers brought the shopkeeper and waiter of the restaurant to the academy.

They all said that they saw Ma Yaozu going to the restaurant yesterday, and they were in the restaurant at the right time.

Mr. Ma went with Mr. Xiao. He asked for the most expensive private room and ordered the best wine and food. One of the waiters said.

Ma Yaozu was well prepared, Dean, it was Brother Xiao who invited me for a drink when he learned that I failed the exam, and was kind enough to give me some relief. But I thought that Brother Xiao didn't return to the academy and it had nothing to do with him, so I didn't write in such detail.

Su Liang walked out from behind the bookshelf with an indifferent expression, In that case, Dean Lin invites Mr. Xiao to come over and ask questions. Mr. Ma will tell us now that you and Mr. Xiao drank together in the restaurant for two hours yesterday and both said What did you say? You are all people who are going to take the imperial examination. You must have good memories. What happened yesterday, you won’t forget it, right? Then I will ask Mr. Xiao alone. As long as you can match it, Mr. Ma will have nothing to do with it. .”

Ma Yaozu's face turned pale, You...why do you order me?

She saved the entire academy last night. Lin Shuzhi looked at the officers and soldiers next to him with a cold face, Please go and ask Xiao Shirong to come immediately. He also found another person in charge of the government and asked him to watch from the side. Ma Yaozu recorded a confession.

I...Brother Xiao and I drank a lot yesterday, and we don't even remember what we said. Ma Yaozu said with his head lowered.

But the waiter confessed that Ma Yaozu and Xiao Shirong were not drunk yesterday and were sober when they left.

Su Liang looked at Ma Yaozu and said coldly, You'd better think clearly, don't be used as a gunman, and you don't know how you died!
