Yipin Qiao Nongfei

Chapter 229

There is no doctor in Wufeng Village, but Jintai Village, three miles away from them, has a wandering doctor who usually walks the streets and alleys, and can only treat some common diseases with herbal medicine.Hearing about Su Yishan's symptoms, he concluded that he had been poisoned by arsenic, and directly said that he couldn't help it. It was Su Wanqiu who begged bitterly, and only said that he must go and have a look. His money, coupled with his concern about the reputation of the third girl, made him reluctant to follow.

Back at Su's house, Su Yishan was already dead. His body was placed on the door panel and stopped in the main room.People in the village came and went in front of Su's house, discussing in low voices. Naturally, the men slandered Su Wanqiu.

Yan cried so hard that she passed out twice.Su Yifeng and Su Yishui squatted in the east room with sad faces, suppressing their grief and comforting Su Mingliang, discussing how to deal with Su Yishan's funeral.Su Yunxu had already run to the county seat to inform Su Yunhai and Su Yunyang, and he thought he would be back soon.

Seeing Su Wanchun standing there with red eye circles, Su Wanqiu walked over to stand next to her, and heaved a long sigh.

"Three sisters!"

Su Wanchun's tears finally flowed down, he turned around and hugged her, laying on her shoulder and weeping.Su Wanqiu patted her shoulder lightly, with a heavy heart, but also a kind of lightness of relief.

After a while, Su Yunhai and Su Yunyang also came back. The two of them didn't believe that the sad news was true until they saw Su Yishan's body, and they wailed bitterly.

So until the evening, the family didn't even eat dinner, they were busy discussing the arrangements for Su Yishan's death.

Until now, two more oil lamps were lit in Su Mingliang's room, and the whole family was sitting on and off the kang. Su Mingjiang Fang said in a deep voice: "This incident happened suddenly and strangely. Yishan is so big. Normally strong and strong, suddenly he was poisoned to death..."

He paused at this point, sighed and said softly: Now everything that should be arranged has been arranged, just waiting for the funeral, right now, we should have a good discussion, let's see what's going on here?Do you want to report to the police? "

The whole family looked at each other, and suddenly heard Yan said: "Uncle Six is ​​right, the head of the family died inexplicably, Dr. Xu also said that it was a symptom of arsenic poisoning. This... such a good person, how could he suddenly be poisoned?" Poisoned? What I mean is that you should report to the officials, and you have to find out the truth of the matter, so that you can rest in peace when you are in charge of the family, and I...my children and I can feel at ease."

Su Mingjiang looked at Su Wanqiu: "What does the third girl mean?"

Su Wanqiu said indifferently: "Although uncle has done a lot of stupid things in the past, he did die strangely. Since uncle mother also said so, then report to the official. It is convenient for him to do an autopsy while the person is not yet buried. Knowing the result, it is good for the whole family to feel at ease, otherwise this panicked person, when will it end?"

Everyone nodded silently, and suddenly Su Yunhai stammered: "Autopsy? Well...wouldn't it have to be disembowelled? My father... is dead, don't let him be buried in Jiuquan Can't you rest in peace?"

Su Wanqiu frowned and said: "Uncle, this is a symptom of poisoning, probably there is no need to disembowel him, right? Or is this necessary for an autopsy? Can anyone tell me?"

No one answered.Autopsy?Usually, it's too late to hide, who would go out of their way to inquire?

For a while, everyone looked at each other, and no one could make up their minds.

Seeing this, Su Wanqiu pondered for a while and said: "This happened in our family. Maybe our family members will investigate it first. If we can find out the ins and outs, we don't have to report it to the authorities. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized... Although we The village knows everything it needs to know, but it's better than making trouble in the county."

"Three girl is right, but, where should my family start to investigate?"

Su Mingliang spoke suddenly, but his voice was hoarse, but within half a day, the old man seemed to have aged ten years. Su Wanqiu couldn't bear to see it, and he understood Su Mingjiang's temporary betrayal during the last vote.

All eyes were on Su Wanqiu, and she smiled wryly and said, "I haven't investigated the case yet, so how do I know where to start? But I thought, before and after the incident, where were everyone? What did they do? Have you seen any abnormalities? Tell them all, maybe you can have some references."

Speaking of this, she coughed lightly, and said calmly: "I heard from my second brother that uncle bought rat poison earlier, does grandpa know?"

Su Mingliang nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "It happened this morning. He told me that there were too many mice in the house, and keeping cats would not be enough to quench thirst. Why don't you put some medicine in front of the mouse hole? If you're lucky, you can poison a few litters. ..."

Speaking of this, he was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Su Wanqiu: "You mean... your uncle was poisoned to death by rat poison? This... How is this possible? It's not that he doesn't know about this medicine, how could it be?" eat it?"

Su Wanqiu said: "Of course uncle won't take rat poison, but after thinking about it, it seems that this is the only thing that can kill people in our family. Nowadays, the rat medicine on the market is made of arsenic. Isn't this just right for uncle?" Symptoms of bleeding from the seven orifices? I also heard the second brother mention it before, saying that he saw the uncle bought rat medicine, and hoped that there would be fewer rats in the house, so I remembered it now."

Su Mingjiang nodded, his two sword eyebrows were tightly frowned, and suddenly he looked at Yan and asked, "When the eldest nephew was poisoned, only you were by his side, and the place was in your room. What happened before and after, nephew and daughter-in-law? Let’s talk about it, everyone, and see if there are any clues.”

Su Wanqiu brought up the rat poison in order to lead to this section. Seeing that Su Mingjiang asked for herself, she was relieved, and began to wonder how to get around it if she was found out about changing the bowl.

While thinking about it, she heard Yan sobbing: "I... I fell asleep after eating, and I don't know what happened in the house. I just know that when I woke up, the head of the house was still sitting at the table and saw me. When he woke up, he smiled and asked me if I was thirsty? He handed me a bowl of water, and said that his lips were getting skinned due to the hot weather. I hurriedly went down to the ground, thinking about pouring him a bowl too, but the man in charge He picked up the bowl and said that I don't need to work hard, he poured it himself, and then he drank the bowl of water, and I drank mine, and told him that it was time to pack up the trousers and coats from last year. Mend it, and save it for the field to wear... I... Before I finished speaking, I heard the head of the house yell, and bent down, clutching my stomach. I hurriedly asked him what was wrong, but he just looked at me, his eyes widened. , yelling that it hurt him to death, and then fell down... I was so scared that I screamed, and then... and then Dad and Uncle Six rushed over..."

Everyone looked at each other, Su Wanqiu murmured: "So, the poison should be in the bowl of water uncle drank, but... since uncle poured the water himself, why did he put poison in the bowl for no reason? Could it be... Could it be that he wants to commit suicide, this is also..."

Before finishing speaking, Su Mingliang yelled: "How is that possible? Why did you commit suicide? Yishan told me yesterday that the family has added dozens of acres of land this year, and everyone has to work harder Son, when the beet grains and the peanuts and sweet potatoes are harvested in the autumn, he will not be afraid of a bad life, he... how could he want to die? This is absolutely impossible."

Su Wanqiu nodded and said softly: "I also think that it is better to live than to die. Besides, Uncle lives so well at home. It's almost as good to say that he is afraid of death. How could he commit suicide?"

While talking, from the corner of his eye, he secretly looked at Su Mingjiang's face, and sure enough, he saw that the sixth uncle's face turned cold suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "According to my nephew and daughter-in-law, Yishan poured the water himself, and the water is poisonous. He didn't commit suicide, so he was going to kill him."
