: Cleanse the dust but not the heart (16)

The fragrance of tea is fragrant and the flowers are fragrant in the charcoal. If you don’t have any concerns in your heart, you will feel that this is the ultimate beauty in life.

"Today, it should be Mr. Yu's execution day?" She suddenly raised her head and looked at General Rong and asked.

"Uh...it seems to be true." General Rong was a little confused. "Why did Miss Buquan suddenly ask about this?"

Lord Shangshu laughed and said, "I can see that I can't figure out the girl with ordinary thoughts. Otherwise, if such a smart Mr. Yu, even if he is deceived by him, how could he be defeated by her?"

He personally filled the tea for no reason and asked, "It must be because of Wang Ma's death that he lamented the impermanence of life, and then thought of Mr. Yu, right?"

"Yes." Gu Biaoquan nodded.

"Yu Zhishen and Ji Xiuqi, one who has but is overwhelmed by it, the other who has nothing but takes advantage of it, and eventually he paid the price of his life. Unfortunately, he could have become a famous doctor of a generation with his own abilities, and there could have been a Mr. Ji in the world. Unfortunately, it's sad, it's a pity."

Lord Shangshu sighed and repeatedly said that he was deceived and ashamed. Master Shen Zhuang and General Rong comforted him.

"So, no matter whether it is a mulberry field farmer, weaving merchants and officials, just be yourself, why do you have to become someone else?" Gu Buquan said again.

"Okay, Miss Buquan, I just advised Lord Shangshu, don't mention this matter." General Rong complained.

"Okay, let's not talk about Mr. Yu." Gu Buquan smiled, changed the subject, but talked about Wang Ma.

"The experience of Wang Ma is really sad. He has no result in finding his husband for thousands of miles, but he ended up in such a tragic ending. And what her husband gave her was nothing but memories of the beautiful days of the newlyweds for less than a month, and a letter from home. Letter from home..."

She suddenly paused, "Why don't you see that letter from your family?"

She immediately got up and ran out, and General Rong followed him out. This time, Lord Shangshu and Lord Shen couldn't sit still and followed closely behind.

Because of Wang Shangshu's appearance, the scholars who had not left also surrounded him.

Gu Buquan searched Wang Ma for a while, but he did not see the letter from his family.

Wang Ma regards it as a letter from his family with the same lifeline, but he flew without expectation.

"I understand." Gu Buquan murmured.

"Miss Not Full, what do you understand?" General Rong asked.

"Motivation. I understand the murderer's motive. Once I understand the murder motive, the murderer will be about to come out."

She said, and glanced around her, a familiar figure mixed among the scholars.

Although Ling An dressed up like the scholars, with ink on his face and sticking his beards, she still recognized him at a glance.

I suddenly felt confident.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the incomplete girl would not only have an autopsy, but also a case." General Rong smiled and said, "Who dares ask the girl, who is the murderer? Where is he?"

"The murderer is Wang Zesheng, and it's among you." Gu Buquan raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

The people present were in an uproar. Wang Zesheng, who had been looking for so long, suddenly came out to kill someone?

Everyone couldn't stop looking at the people around them, and they all looked like Wang Zesheng.

"Oh? I'll tell you a little bit, let's hear it?" Wang Shangshu said with great interest.

Gu Buquan smiled: "My lord said before that all departments will do their own responsibilities, but at this time, the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture Office have not arrived, and the people from the God-Captain Department are willing to overstep their posts. Then the young woman will tell you what she saw and see if there is any reason. If it is wrong, just treat it as nonsense selling coffins."

After saying this, let alone Lord Shangshu, everyone present asked Gu Buquan to come and listen.

Gu Buquan was not polite anymore, cleared his throat and started talking while paced.

"Arsenic is highly toxic. The poisoned person suffers unbearable pain. Out of human instinct, he often opens his mouth to help, but Wang Ma grits his teeth and refuses to speak. Why? Her face is more sad and painful, and why?"

Everyone shook their heads, "How can you know this?"

"At first, I had the same reaction as everyone else, how could I know? But in fact, it would be easy to understand after thinking about it. Although this is the corner, it is not far from the gate of Xichen Tea House. If she screams, it will definitely attract everyone's attention. But she desperately refused to make a sound, and there was only one explanation, she was protecting that person."

Gu Biaoquan paused, glanced at Ling An in the crowd quietly, and continued, "She was helpless and wandered here alone just to find her only relative, her husband Wang Zesheng. So, who else can she have to protect her for the last breath?"

"It is understandable that he protects Wang Zesheng, but why did Wang Zesheng poison his wife?" asked the scholar who likes to say strange words.

She raised her eyes and looked at the scholar and asked, "Do you know why there are more than half of the people here today than usual?"

Without waiting for the scholar to answer, she continued, "Because today is the day for Mr. Yu to execute the execution, many people rushed to see the beheading. Why was Mr. Yu executed? Because he is not Mr. Yu, he is Ji Xiuqi."

"Mr. Yu is not Mr. Yu..." Lord Shangshu immediately realized, "Miss Buquan means that Wang Zesheng is not Wang Zesheng?"

"I know that you have two axes for selling coffins, and Mr. Yu fell into your hands. However, I still want to ask, what is the basis for your assertion? Why is the murderer Wang Zesheng? After all, they are loving couples."

"Yes, loving couple." Gu Bianquan nodded, not in a hurry to reveal the basis for Lord Shangshu, but continued, "Wang Ma has been looking for his husband for three years, and has not been moved by the rumors of outsiders. He firmly believes that her husband will not abandon her. He is still the good man who loves her."

"I can imagine how surprised she would be when she saw him. When he came to her, she felt his hug and ate the green tea cake he brought to her, thinking that life would be perfect from now on, but she didn't know that her perfection was not the perfection that Wang Zesheng wanted, because Wang Zesheng was no longer Wang Zesheng."

"At that moment, she finally realized that the reunion of husband and wife was not the human comedy she hoped for, but his burden, and the person she loved the most was the one who killed her, but she still endured the severe pain and let him leave, and she spent her whole life trying to fulfill him. This is why she was so sad."

She tried hard to restrain her, but there was still fog in her eyes. From the corner of her eyes, Ling An's figure slowly changed her position with her.

She held up the half piece of green tea cake left by Wang Ma and slowly walked to General Rong.

"The green tea cake is specially made in the Huachen Tea House and can't be eaten easily by outsiders. Therefore, I judged from the beginning that the murderer was the one who could enter the tea house. The scholars were reluctant to give this hard-earned green tea cake to others. So few people could give the green tea cake to Wang Ma, which means that there are very few people who are suspected."

"It just happened that the pastry chef added a few drops of white wine on a whim, which happened to be for Lord Shangshu to taste. It just happened that the half of the green tea cake had the flavor of white wine."

She stopped, and the whole room was silent, waiting for her to continue talking.

After a moment, Lord Shangshu exclaimed: "You mean, he?"

"Yes, it's him!" She nodded decisively.

Ling'an's position was getting higher and higher, and he stood behind her.

She felt his breath that was so close to her, and at the same time she felt another familiar breath in the distance, and there were two eyes that looked at her coldly from a distance.
