A few days later, Brother Jiu just felt full and had some strength, but he started to have diarrhea again, which made him lose energy.

Brother Jiu was lying alone in the room, looking at the gray-white tent ceiling. He knew that he could not escape this level...

He closed his eyes and shed two tears from the corners of his eyes, thinking of the mother he had never met.

If mother was still alive, wouldn't anyone dare to do this to him?

It was getting dark outside, and there were no servants to serve him, no one to bring him food, and no doctor to see him...

Brother Jiu sobbed and fell asleep.

In the small kitchen, Brother Shun was instructing the cook: "Make a bowl of midnight snack for Brother Jiu, and add more Laoshan Ginseng. He is weak and needs a lot of nourishment."

The cook responded and said: "It has been stewed for a long time. If you don't believe me, look at the fire." She then asked Brother Shun, "What would you like to have as a late-night snack, Madam? We have prepared a lot of things here, including duck porridge,

Crab dumplings, shrimp oil green silk noodles, and glutinous rice dumplings.”

Brother Shun felt a little hungry after hearing this, and said, "Get a bowl for each, and I'll give it to my grandmother and brother."

People in the kitchen kept praising Brother Shun for being filial to his elders and being kind to his brothers, which made Brother Shun smile.

After carrying the food box from the kitchen, Brother Shun first went to his room and added something to Brother Jiu's medicine bowl. Then he went to Brother Jiu's room, put the medicine cooked for him on the table, and said:

"Brother Jiu, come and take medicine."

Brother Jiu got off the bed and was so greedy by the smell in the food box that he almost drooled. He couldn't help but asked: "Brother, I don't want to take medicine, can I have some food?"

Brother Shun said sternly: "Of course not. The doctor said that you are suffering from internal heat. In addition to taking medicine, you should eat quietly and starve for two times. As long as the internal heat is eliminated, you will be fine."

Brother Jiu swallowed a sip of saliva, picked up the bowl of medicine and was about to drink it. Suddenly he smelled an extremely fishy smell. He hurriedly tilted his head and spat it out with a loud sound, which happened to hit Brother Shun.

Brother Shun suddenly jumped up and said angrily: "You did it on purpose?! Look at the good thing you did! This is the shirt I just made this year, and I just put it on!"

"Brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll accompany you two things tomorrow!" Brother Jiu said with a smile.

This poked a hole in Brother Shun's heart again. Because Brother Jiu is richer than him. Now this family business actually belongs to Brother Jiu...

Brother Shun was upset for a while, so he pushed Brother Jiu away and said, "Drink the medicine quickly. I'll go back and change my clothes before coming back." His clothes were stained by Brother Jiu's vomit, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat Jiu.

Brother Jiu paused for a while, but thinking that Brother Jiu was about to go to the West, he might as well endure it for a while, as long as he was not in his room, so he took the opportunity to slip away.

When Brother Jiu saw that Brother Shun had left, he rushed over and opened the food box that Brother Shun had prepared for Longxiang Ye. He held it and smelled it again and again. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and took out the duck meat porridge inside. He planned to just

He took a shallow bite. The more he ate, the more delicious it became, and he couldn't stop at all.

When he was able to stop, he found that he had eaten almost half of the bowl of duck porridge.

Brother Jiu was frightened, knowing that this was his grandmother's midnight snack, and he had gotten into trouble.

Fortunately, Long Xiangye and Brother Shun didn't want to see him, and they didn't send any servants to him, so he was the only one in the room. There was no one else, and he wasn't afraid of others complaining.

He looked around the room, and in a hurry, he picked up his bowl of medicine on the table and poured it into the bowl of duck porridge.

The color of the two bowls of food is almost the same, and Jiu Geer's medicine also uses Laoshan ginseng. It has a very similar taste to the Laoshan ginseng in the duck porridge. So after pouring it in, except that the porridge is slightly thin, it is perfect.

.

Brother Jiu poured the medicine into the duck porridge, then quickly put the duck porridge back into the food box, then closed the lid. He stretched himself and went back to his bed to sleep.

Brother Shun changed his clothes in his room and lingered for a while before he came to Brother Jiu's room.

Brother Shun smiled happily when he saw the empty medicine bowl on the table. He picked up the food box and went to deliver supper to Long Xiangye.

When Long Xiangye was hungry, she saw the fragrant bowl of duck porridge and smelled the strong smell of old wild ginseng. It suited her very much, so she ordered the duck porridge and gave the rest to Brother Shun.

have eaten.

After eating, Brother Shun took the food box out, handed it back to the kitchen, and happily went back to the house alone.

…

In the middle of the night, the corner door of Luoyang Tiance Mansion was opened in panic.

Soon, the stern-faced Menzi sent surprising news to the inner courtyard.

Not long after, the lights lit up row after row in the yard.

Xiao Shiji, dressed in dark soap-colored clothes, hurried out from the inner courtyard with Du Hengshuang.

"What's going on?" Xiao Shiji asked Brother Yang as he walked away.

Brother Yang's face was also very serious. He said: "Someone reported from my grandmother's side just now that she suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the night, and even her orifices began to bleed..."

"Abdominal pain? Bleeding from the seven orifices? How come you suddenly got an emergency?" Du Hengshuang was extremely surprised.

"...It is said that I ate a bowl of duck porridge at night." Brother Yang said solemnly.

Du Hengshuang was startled and glanced at Xiao Shiji quickly.

Xiao Shiji pursed his lips tightly. He did not speak, but turned around and took Du Hengshuang's hand, and rushed with her to the Xiao family's old residence.

When they arrived at the Xiao family's old house, they rushed into Long Xiangye's yard and saw that everyone inside was circled in a corner of the yard.

Xiao Shiji and the mother-in-law sent by him came over to report: "My lord and madam are all here, and no one has escaped."

Du Hengshuang nodded, "Let's go see the old lady first." They also brought the best doctor in Luoyang with them.

After entering Long Xiangye's house and opening the curtain, what they saw was Long Xiangye's hands tightly holding his throat, rolling on the bed, and kept shouting "I don't want to leave! Don't leave! This is all me."

Yes! This body is mine!"

The doctor hurried forward and tried to diagnose Longxiangye's pulse, but Longxiangye suddenly let out a scream, sat upright, then fell back, twitched his whole body twice, and then became motionless.

The doctor took Long Xiangye's wrist vein, released it, then retracted his hand and said: "The old lady has passed away."

The appearance of Long Xiangye lying dead on the bed was very scary. There were traces of coagulated blood on her face.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly covered Du Hengshuang's eyes with one hand and said: "Brother Yang, send your mother out. I am here."

Brother Yang took a look. He held Du Hengshuang's arm and said, "Mom, come with me." As he said that, he almost carried Du Hengshuang out of the house.

With a livid expression on his face, Xiao Shiji first ordered his personal followers to bring the Xiao family's army to seal off the entire Xiao family's old residence. Then he asked the Luoyang government officials to come over to examine the corpse and investigate the case. At the same time, he called in the people he sent here for questioning.

A series of things were done in an orderly manner, and by the time dawn came, everything had been sorted out.

Most of the servants here were bought by Long Xiangye after he came to Luoyang. They are all under death contracts, but the quality of the people is uneven.

When the Luoyang government heard that something had happened to Duke Zhu's mother, they did not dare to neglect it. They sent people to Chang'an to deliver the message, and at the same time sent the best yamen and the policemen to come and check.

After Wu Zuo completed the autopsy, he told Xiao Shiji that the old lady died of poisoning. The poison was not difficult to find, it was a common rat poison on the market. However, because it was so common, it was not easy to find clues.

Of course, Wu Zuo didn't know the situation of the Xiao family, but Xiao Shi and his side found out clearly.

"...He is so brave!" After hearing the news reported by his own people, Xiao Shiji slammed the table heavily, furious.

While he was angry, a woman outside reported: "My lord, Brother Shun is here, saying he knows who is the murderer of the old lady."

Xiao Shiji calmed down his anger and said calmly: "Let him come in."

Ever since Brother Shun knew that something happened to his grandmother, not Brother Jiu, he was so frightened that he ran around in the room anxiously. Later, he remembered that the medicine was originally meant for Brother Jiu, but now it was taken by his grandmother, so he simply

After failing to do anything, he decided to take the first step and came to his uncle to complain. He said it was Brother Jiu who did it.

But as soon as he came in and saw his uncle's calm eyes, he was so frightened that he was almost speechless.

Xiao Shiji glanced at him coldly, listening to him stammering about Brother Jiu's condition. He closed his eyes sadly, rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hand, and said calmly: "I thought you were confused for a moment and made the wrong move.

That’s it. Now it seems that you are not repentant and did it intentionally!—Here comes someone!” After saying that, he ordered people to search Brother Shun’s room.

When the evidence was conclusively placed in front of him, Shun Geer burst into tears, walked over and hugged Xiao Shiji and cried: "Uncle! Uncle! Spare my life, I didn't mean to... I am the only father."

son……"

"Take it away." Xiao Shiji waved his hands, with a very sad expression on his face. At this moment, even if his brother begs for mercy, he will not let him go as long as he is the murderer of his mother.

…

Brother Shun's case was concluded quickly. The witnesses and physical evidence were conclusive, and he himself was frightened by the situation in prison, so he confessed to everything at once.

After the Luoyang government consulted Xiao Shiji for instructions, Shun Geer was sentenced to death according to the law.

When he was executed on the execution ground, Master Puji also stood in the crowd of onlookers and sighed: "I told you that you are here to pay off your debt..."

The night after Brother Shun's interrogation, in the mourning hall of Long Xiangye, the old lady of the Xiao family's old house, a white fox flashed past and knocked down the giant butter candle on the mourning hall.

The blazing fire rolled up the long filial piety cloth.

When people finally extinguished the fire, the mourning hall, the coffin, and the corpse inside the coffin had been burned completely, and the land suddenly looked as clean as a vast expanse of white land.

Xiao Shiji did not rebuild the old lady's yard, but built a small Buddhist hall here to house the Buddha statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In the Xiao family's ancestral tomb, Long Xiangye's tomb was just a tomb, and he was buried with Xiao Xiangsheng.

together.
