Chapter 120: The Death of the Bead

In addition to the people sent by Sun to guard, Shen Qingyu also added more manpower. If problems still occur under such circumstances, then there is nothing she can do.

The more you worry about something going wrong, the more problems will occur. As if to prove this statement, the next day, bad news came.

Sure enough, something happened at Shen Qingzhi's place. Just this morning, someone died. But to Shen Qingyu's surprise, the person who died was Ningzhu, Shen Qingzhi's close maid.

This made Shen Qingyu a little confused. According to her guess, the target of the secret person should be Shen Qingzhi. How could the person who died be Ningzhu.

When she rushed to Shen Qingzhi's place, many people were already kneeling in front of the door. Everyone had their heads lowered, listening to the people standing above the steps yelling and scolding.

Sun's voice was sharp and thin, "Are you dead? Ah? If something can happen to you, what's the point of raising you? Have I ever said that anyone who comes in or out must be carefully inspected, and any food and

The tea had to be tested before being sent in, but what was the result? Why was the person still poisoned to death?"

Poisoned to death? Ningzhu was poisoned to death?

Shen Qingyu thought about it in her heart. She had been struggling with this before. Shen Qingzhi was poisoned. The most suspicious person who could poison her without knowing it was naturally the girl next to her.

But because of Ningzhu's identity, there was really no reason to poison her, so Shen Qingyu put this possibility aside and began to suspect others. But now Ningzhu's death seemed to remind her that there was something wrong with Ningzhu.

Shen Qingyu once thought that the murderer's target was Shen Qingzhi, but now it is Ningzhu who died. Did the murderer make a mistake in targeting Ningzhu and killed Ningzhu by mistake, or was the target Ningzhu from the beginning?

Before she could figure out the reason, she heard Mr. Sun say angrily: "What do you want me to ask you? Are you mute?"

Kneeling at the front of the group of people was a girl wearing brown clothes. She seemed to have some status among these people and was the first to speak out, "Madam, please."

She lowered her head to the ground and then continued to reply: "Madam, the slaves guarantee with their lives that before sending all the food and drink in, the slaves not only tried it with a silver needle, but also tasted it personally. There is really no problem."

While listening to the girl's words, Shen Qingyu walked past them and entered the house.

Sun just glanced at her and didn't stop her, which undoubtedly made her feel at ease. If Sun insisted on not letting her in, there was nothing she could do.

Because this room is used for entertaining guests, it is fully furnished. There is even a shelf of assorted flowers. Originally there were some ornaments scattered here and there, but now the shelf has fallen down.

The ornaments were also broken.

The house was in a mess, as if there had been a thief, and everything was staggered here and there.

Ningzhu's body fell to the ground, the table beside him also overturned, and there were pieces of porcelain scattered around.

Shen Qingyu has been to this room in the past few days. In her impression, there has always been a tea set that is the same as the broken porcelain pieces on this table. Judging from the shape of the broken pieces, the teapot and teacup should have been broken.

Forming.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that the person was in too much pain after being poisoned by Ningzhu, and he pushed the table over while struggling.

What about the rickety furniture around? Was it also knocked down by Ningzhu? If so, then Ningzhu must have been in great pain for a while before he died.

Because Shen Qingzhi was poisoned before, Mrs. Sun was worried about her daughter, so Shen Qingzhi had not been away from anyone in the past few days. This was Shen Qingzhi's room, so someone else must have witnessed everything when Ningzhu died.

The first thing Shen Qingyu had to do was to ask clearly about the situation before Ningzhu's death, but before she could ask anyone to come over for questioning, the government officials arrived and took over everything.

When Shen Qingyu heard that someone from the government office had arrived, Shen Qingyu was still looking forward to meeting an acquaintance named Muxun, but she was naturally disappointed. There was no Muxun among those agents, and there was not even anyone who looked familiar.

In fact, this is normal. The previous cases were quite special and alarmed the Ministry of Punishment, while ordinary cases only need to be handed over to the local yamen for handling.

After Sun reported Ningzhu's death to the official, people from the Yamen would naturally handle it.

In the Daguan Dynasty, even the master did not have the right to kill slaves. Servants who made mistakes may be punished, and in serious cases, they may be sold, but there will never be any arbitrary killing, because this is illegal.

Things like Ningzhu being poisoned will naturally be reported and handed over to the government for handling.

The place where the body was found was quickly surrounded, and of course Shen Qingyu was immediately invited out of the room.

Shen Qingyu soon met Shen Qingzhi, who was called for questioning. Her expression was a little nervous, and her face, which had regained some color after a few days, was vaguely pale again.

Soon, Shen Qingyu learned from Shen Qingzhi about the situation of Ningzhu poison at that time.

According to Shen Qingzhi, she had just gotten up at that time and was dressing up in front of the mirror. Ningzhu, who was standing not far away, suddenly seemed like she was going crazy, shouting "eyes" and "eyes" loudly.

While shouting, she waved her arms as if in fear. She knocked down the furniture and tables during her struggle.
