Chapter 69 Special Tokens(1/2)
If you go to the capital, just go to the capital. Her father is the minister of the Ministry of War, her husband is the top scholar in martial arts, and he is also a popular figure in front of Zuo Ye. If he really goes to the capital, isn't he going to her territory?
Archie said to everyone: "Please stay here for a while."
"Why? We have nothing to do with this matter." Someone said dissatisfied.
You can feel very happy eating melon, but once it might have something to do with you, you immediately can't stand it and don't want to have anything to do with it.
Facing the official's wife's questioning, Archi's expression remained unchanged and he said in a calm voice: "If this matter has nothing to do with you, then you only need to wait for a moment."
As Archie finished speaking, several guards appeared out of thin air and blocked the way of everyone present.
Archie said to everyone in a low voice: "I'm offended."
Sheng Qingyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the guards appearing out of thin air.
The skills of these guards are not simple at all, and they are no worse than the secret guards brought by Shen Zhao.
The identity of this old lady is probably more powerful than everyone imagined.
Some people couldn't see how high the martial arts skills of the guards who suddenly appeared were. They just thought about how powerful an old woman's guard could be, so they wanted to rush out directly.
As a result, after taking only two steps forward, there was a cold sword around his neck.
The man was immediately frightened, and a thick layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "You, what are you going to do?"
Archie said with a cold face: "I just hope you won't run around."
The cold blade was placed on his neck, making him dare not move again.
Archie then started to investigate what happened today.
Archie poured a basin of water and then poured a little potion into the water.
"Please also put your hands into the water one by one." Archie said.
Mrs. Liu's heart was lifted.
Although she is not afraid of going to the capital, it is of course better to avoid being implicated in such matters.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but ask: "How can you find the murderer like this? Is there anyone who investigates cases like you?"
Shen Zhao said quietly: "There are thousands of ways to investigate cases, and it's normal that you don't understand them."
Being directly disliked by Shen Zhao, Mrs. Liu looked a little ugly.
Mrs. Liu looked at the magistrate and asked, "Master Su, do you just allow outsiders to do whatever they want in your house?"
The prefect looked embarrassed.
Archie's actions were undoubtedly a slap in the face, but no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the person in front of him was not something he could afford to offend.
What's more, Liu Beichuan and Mrs. Liu were the main planners of what happened today. He only helped a bunch of people for the sake of Mr. Zuo Ye. Otherwise, he shouldn't have helped because of the relationship between Liu Beichuan and Zuo Mang. he.
Archie took out a token, put it in front of the prefect, and said, "Do you have any questions now?"
When the prefect saw the token in Archie's hand, his expression immediately changed and he quickly said: "No, no, I'd like you to investigate. If you need anything, please let me know at any time."
After hearing what the prefect said, Mrs. Liu frowned and looked at him, "Master Su..."
The prefect didn't even look at her and quickly said to Archie: "Please, sir."
He had never seen this token before, but he knew about its existence on his first day as an official.
If someone in the local area holds this token, then he has the right to intervene in any local case, or even take over the case with full authority.
It's just that there are very few owners of this token, which also reflects the high status of the person who can get this token.
Although the people present were not satisfied with being investigated as suspects, they also knew very well that cooperating with the investigation was the wisest choice now.
Everyone put their hands into the water prepared by Archie, but there was no change in the water.
Most of the people had been tested and nothing happened, and now it was Mrs. Liu's turn.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but tighten her hand on the handkerchief, her eyes
I couldn't help but panic, and silently stepped back, hoping it would be later, just later.
She had only taken two steps back when someone suddenly put his hand on her waist, preventing her from retreating any further.
Mrs. Liu turned around and saw that it was Sheng Qingyuan.
"Where do you want to go, Mrs. Liu?" Sheng Qingyuan asked her with a half-smile.
Mrs. Liu hummed: "What does it have to do with you?!"
Sheng Qingyuan curled her lips, "It's hard to say, whether it matters or not, we'll know next, Mrs. Liu, it's your turn."
Mrs. Liu stepped forward with her heart held high, and walked in front of Archie with anxiety, but she still did not stretch out her hand.
"Mrs. Liu, please." Archie made a "please" gesture to her.
But Mrs. Liu kept clutching the handkerchief in her hand and was unwilling to let go.
"Mrs. Liu?" Archie called out again patiently.
Mrs. Liu said unnaturally: "Your water has been soaked by so many people and is so dirty. How can you use it?!"
Archie said: "Mrs. Liu is right, so I have asked someone to prepare a new basin of water. Please put your hand in it, Mrs. Liu."
Mrs. Liu: "…………"
Do you need to move so quickly?
"How do I know if your water is clean or not? There are other things in your water that I don't know what they are. If this thing will hurt my hand, then I..."
Before Mrs. Liu could finish her words, Archie immediately wrapped a piece of cloth around Mrs. Liu's wrist and forced her hand into the water.
The originally clear water changed color and turned into a light green after Mrs. Liu put her hand in it.
Mrs. Liu immediately withdrew her hand.
Archie said calmly: "The maid took Yemei pills in advance. The Ximei pills were ground into powder, sprinkled with narcissus juice, dried in the sun and turned into powder again, which became the medicine for Yemei poison."
As he said that, Archie picked up the bowl that had turned light green next to him, "In this bowl, I added my special potion. Anyone who has touched the powder of Ximeiwan will be required to touch this water within three days.
, the water will turn light green."
Finally, Archie looked at Mrs. Liu with cold eyes, "This proves that you are the one who finally released the Ximei Pill powder to poison the maid."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately retorted: "Impossible! That's not a fan of Yemei or Ximeiwan at all!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked like they were "suddenly enlightened".
"It seems that Mrs. Liu knows very well what the poison is that poisoned this maid." Sheng Qingyuan said meaningfully.
Mrs. Liu's face turned pale.
It's over.
What did she just say?
"I don't know." Mrs. Liu said with a guilty conscience, not daring to look directly at Sheng Qingyuan.
Archi said: "The evidence has been put in front of us, and you cannot deny it. Come and bring us down. When all the evidence is sorted out, we will escort you to the capital and hand it over to Jing Zhaoyin."
As soon as the words fell, the guards immediately controlled Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu quickly shouted: "I'm not! I didn't!! I was wronged!! Liu Beichuan, what are you still doing here and watching?!"
Liu Beichuan frowned.
Ever since they got married, he had been fed up with Mrs. Wang's aggressive and domineering character.
But because he had to rely on the power of the Minister of War, she had no choice but to admit it no matter how crazy she did.
It would be the best thing if we could take this opportunity to get rid of this cunning woman.
only…………
Regarding the serious situation in the capital where officials are protecting each other, will the Jingzhao Yin Mansion take into account that Wang is the daughter of the Minister of War, and will the big issue turn into a trivial matter in the end...
If this is really the case, then if he doesn't help to speak now, his father-in-law will investigate him, and he is afraid that he will not get any good results.
In just a moment, Liu Beichuan's mind quickly flashed a comparison of the two options.
In the end, Liu Beichuan chose a safer path
, "Are you being too hasty in this way? Moreover, if you want to handle a case, shouldn't you first reveal your official position? It's probably inappropriate to lock people up for no reason."
Archi didn't say anything, just glanced at the prefect indifferently.
The magistrate bit the bullet and said to Liu Beichuan: "This gentleman is indeed qualified to handle cases independently and is not restricted by his official position."
Liu Beichuan frowned tightly, "Why didn't I know that I could still do this? When I return to the capital, I must report this to Mr. Zuo and tell the right and wrong!"
In the end, Liu Beichuan chose to carry Zuo Ye out.
But when Archie heard the name Zuo Ye, he didn't have the slightest fear and said, "It's up to you."
Archi waved his hand and asked someone to take Mrs. Liu down.
"Liu Beichuan, save me! Save me!!" Mrs. Liu couldn't help shouting when she was taken away.
Liu Beichuan lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
