Chapter 34 Eight, stepping on the moon

Yu Wenzhong's body was lying in the room, bleeding from the seven orifices, obviously he died of poisoning. The cooks of Zhengyue Tower and Huang Fucai were all tied up and arrested. Not only the Ministry of Punishment came, but even the Zuo Yiwei Army dispatched dozens of people to surround Zhengyue Tower. This Yu Wenzhong was not an ordinary examinee, he was also the nephew of Yu Wenhuaji, General Yu Wenhuaji of the Right Tunwei.The news of the murder spread to the court, and the current emperor was also alarmed, and sent dozens of Zuo Yiwei troops to arrest the murderer. Su Changshan yawned and came downstairs. There were many swords and swords downstairs, and the faces of all the candidates were ashen, but he only looked in the direction of the dining hall: "Is there any more breakfast?"

Naturally no one dared to answer him. Only Nanmen Ruoyu, an honest man who was tied up like a rice dumpling, said nervously, "There is only yesterday's porridge left in the kitchen...the noodles haven't had time yet." Su Changshan seems to be very sorry, he never eats leftovers. "Yu Wenzhong ate at Zhengyue Tower yesterday?" He sat down. Huang Fucai had already regarded Su Changshan as his savior, and asked in a panic, "...are you here?" "Not here." Nanmen Ruoyu said with certainty. It was only then that the people downstairs remembered that they hadn't seen Yu Wenzhong during the several meals yesterday, he only showed up when the fire broke out, and had a dispute with Huang Fucai.Many candidates recalled it, and a few bolder ones nodded in agreement: "I didn't see Yu Wenzhong at dinner yesterday..."

"Since Yu Wenzhong didn't eat at Zhengyue Tower, what are you doing with the cook at Zhengyue Tower?" Su Changshan asked leisurely. The soldiers who were searching were stunned for a moment. Huang Canjun, who was in the lead, felt that Su Changshan looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while. I saw a man walking by the door, with a tall forehead and thick beard, he was Commander Wan in Zuo Yiwei's army, and he was also a close person who followed Jun Wuyi.Huang Canjun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, only to hear Commander Wan whisper something in his ear, Huang Canjun looked at Su Changshan differently.

"It turned out to be Mr. Su from the south of the Yangtze River who solved the murder case of Bai Yumei—" Huang Canjun cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry." "Where." Su Changshan said very easy-going, and turned to Han Ping and Sun Yan who were standing aside: "Mr. Han, Mr. Sun, were you two with Yu Wenzhong yesterday?" Sun Yan's face was a little pale, but Han Ping was calm: "We were with Ah Zhong yesterday." "Where have you been?" "I went to Litangyuan, and...Ah Zhong was very happy yesterday, and the cold spring made us go swimming..." Sun Yan blurted out.

Su Changshan glanced at him: "Swimming?" "That's right." Han Ping also nodded and said, "It's getting late when we come out of Litang Garden, but Ah Zhong insisted on dragging us both to swim in the moat. We tried to persuade him to bring him back to the inn." Wu Zuo had already experienced the corpse at this time, and said with certainty: "The cause of death was the poison of Bisaliva, and the time of poisoning was probably Zishi." Several knowledgeable examinees were astonished. This green salivation is a highly poisonous substance. Just one drop can poison people to death. Moreover, there is a time interval of three to five hours from the time the poison enters the throat to the onset of the poison. People will be extremely excited.

"Inferred from the time when the poison was released—" Commander Wan pondered. "Yu Wenzhong is probably the poison in the Litang Garden." Huang Canjun said in a deep voice, "Let him go first." Huang Fucai and the cooks who were released were still in shock. Huang Canjun cupped his hands at them and said, "I've offended you." Turning around, he told the soldiers behind him, "You guys stay in the inn, others, follow me to Litangyuan!" Su Changshan glanced at the generals trained by Jun Wuwu, he was indeed capable and knowledgeable, but unfortunately——

Most of Zuo Yiwei's soldiers left, and only three remained in the hall watching the corpse and the scene. Su Changshan was about to go upstairs when he saw the clerk Feng Er carrying a big cardboard box, and the fat cat Ah Qing lazily following him. Seeing Su Changshan, Feng Er smiled and said, "Su Xiucai, thanks to you today..." The fluffy cat's tail on the ground brushed Feng Er's leg, and he lowered his head and stomped his feet: "Go—!" With his movements, a small corner appeared in the cotton wool stained with cat fur in the cat's litter. Feng Er raised his head and smiled at Su Changshan: "Ah Qing, this cat is the most palatable and lazy, it's all because of Dayu's spoiling."

"Where's Dayu?" Su Changshan asked. "Dayu is on vacation today, just left the house," Feng Er shook the cardboard box: "There is a cat smell in the cat litter, I'll move it out to dry it—" While talking, Feng Er also found something in the nest, and immediately pulled it out. It turned out to be an ordinary old book. "Look—" Feng Er handed it to Su Changshan, dumbfounded, "Ah Qing is a lazy eater, and loves to hide things even more than dogs! He even drags books to the den." Su Changshan took the half-worn book and flipped through it.

"Su Tong!" Someone shouted at the door.Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.I saw Ye Fangting jogging in happily. Su Changshan said to Feng Er: "Put the things here, and I will return them to Dayu." "I'm sorry to trouble you..." Feng Er said flatteringly: "Boss Huang said that you are the most noble of these talented men who take the exam." He suddenly seemed to remember something, and seemed to hesitate to speak. Su Changshan asked kindly: "Is there anything else?" Feng Er seemed to be making up his mind, and finally said: "Last night... I ate too much porridge, and I couldn't help getting up and going to the latrine. It was about Zishi... I saw Dayu go out by the latrine. The moon was very bright, so I saw It is very clear that Dayu slipped out of the inn with something in his arms and turned into a small alley—I followed him curiously, but I followed him and lost him.”
