Chapter 96:

Qin Jiu understood what Gu Zezhi meant. He suspected that Mrs. Qin's sudden illness had hidden secrets?
No way! Qin Zening was anxious and flew on his horse.
The three brothers and sisters hurriedly rushed to Zhongyi Hou's Mansion with Mother Cui.
The night was like ink, and the jewel-like stars filled the night sky. The quiet night was broken by the sound of horses' hoofs and door knocks.
"Boom boom boom!"
The knock on the door was rapid, and soon the concierge opened the door. Seeing that it was the three of Qin Zening's brothers and sisters, the concierge was a little surprised and said, "Master, please wait, Rong Xiao will send someone to inform his wife..."
Since the separation of the long house and the Hou Mansion, every time Qin Zening and Qin Jiu came, they were stopped by the concierge for a while on the grounds of notification. Originally, Qin Zening didn’t care, but today he is worried about Mrs. Qin, so he simply Just rushed.
The carriages of the three brothers and sisters filed in through the corner gate, and then rushed to Ronghetang violently, despite the obstacles of other servants of the Hou Mansion.
To put it bluntly, the servants of the Hou Mansion are just pretending to stop, after all, Qin Zening has a good future, but the Hou Mansion is in a precarious situation.
The three Qin Zening brothers and sisters came to Ronghetang all the way.
Su clan was also there, sitting in the main room, drinking tea leisurely, and seeing Qin Zening and the others came, he said two casual words: "Hey, isn't this my big nephew who is busy with people?" Come to us in some time today."
"Hey, you didn't come by coincidence. Today, my aunt has no time to entertain you..."
Qin Zening didn't even bother to say a word to her, and went straight into the inner room from the Dongci room. Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu followed Qin Zening, all looking forward to him.
In the inner room, the air was dull and silent.
Mrs. Qin Tai was lying on a Babu bed, her eyes closed, her body was covered with a thin navy blue quilt, and her face was as pale as paper.
Standing beside the bed, Mother Ning and the two maids were panicked and at a loss. Seeing Qin Zening and the others came, they quickly saluted.
Qin Zening looked at Mrs. Qin who was unconscious on the couch, frowned and asked, "Where is the doctor?"
Before Grandma Ning could answer, she listened to Su Clan, who came in behind Qin Zeyu, rushed to her and said, "Someone has been sent to invite."
While talking, the Su clan walked to Qin Zening's side, and said in a weird manner: "Brother Ning, it's late now, it's a whole day away. Now that the long room has been divided, Lord Hou is not in the house. It is not convenient for women to entertain you."
What she meant was that Qin Zening had been ordered to chase off their guests.
Qin Sheng and the second son, Qin Zezhou, closely followed the Su clan. The siblings looked at Qin Zening and the three with disapproval, thinking they would pretend to be filial!
Qin Zeyu couldn't help but interject: "Second aunt, it's been an hour and a half, right? How come the doctor hasn't!"
According to him, Su Clan didn't send anyone to hire a doctor at all!
Su clan caressed his sleeves, and said solemnly: "Brother Yu, don't you know that the doctor of Huichuntang often invited by the Hou Mansion happened to go to the doctor, so he can only go to another hospital and ask Gao Ming."
Su clan glanced at Mother Cui without a trace, and felt bitterly: The nosy Diao slave will sell her sooner or later!
Su's eviction order once again: "It's not early, and I won't be hospitalized."
"Come on, send the uncle and the third girl out!"
Su Clan gave an order, and immediately seven or eight women with big waists rushed into the inner room, making the not-so-small room suddenly crowded.
The women smiled and said: "Master, don't make it difficult for the slaves..."
Qin Zening's first reaction was to take a step forward, guarding Qin Jiu behind him, and then drew out the long sword from the ebony sheath, the silver blade buzzing in the air.
"Who dares!"
Qin Zening only gave two words.
He is a person who has been on the battlefield and has experienced life and death, with blood on his hands, and an unabashed killing air from his body, causing Su Clan and several women to shiver.
Qin Jiao looked at Su's piety, winked at Qin Zeyu quietly, and said two words with his mouth: imperial doctor.
With Su's posture, if the imperial doctor comes, I am afraid that someone will drive the imperial doctor out.
Qin Zeyu immediately understood, nodded, and slipped out of the chaos.
The women looked at Su with a panic expression. They usually taught some little maids and daughters-in-laws at most. To put it bluntly, they were market shrews. Qin Zening drew his sword and immediately persuaded them.
Useless, really useless! Su Clan hated even more, his face turned blue, and shouted: "Come on, call me a guard!"
This is the House of the Lord of Loyalty, and it is not yet his turn for Qin Zening, the hairy boy, to show his power here!
The little maid immediately followed the order and ran out to find a guard, but before the guard of the Hou Mansion came, Qin Zeyu brought the emperor first.
"Doctor Xu, please here, my grandmother is inside."
Qin Zeyu led a gray-haired imperial physician into the interior room.
Su's eyes widened, his teeth creaked, and he said angrily: "This is the House of Zhongyi Hou!"
If Qin Zening had some doubts before he came, Su's attitude now makes the possibility of 50% become 99%.
Qin Zening stared at Su Clan sharply, his chills overflowing.
Su Clan's eyes flickered, and the foreign powers raised their heads and started to drive people again: "Qin Zening, you have been separated, and the Hou Mansion still can't tolerate you to be in charge! All cats and dogs will be brought to the mansion!"
"Come on, if you don't want me to drive them all out!"
Su's voice is getting sharper and sharper, and it is better for Doctor Xu to turn into anger from being ashamed and throw his sleeves away.
However, the doctor Xu was calm and relaxed, and he drew his hands on the Su clan. "The old man and the old man have been dating for many years. I heard that the wife is sick. For the friendship of the old friend, we have to show the wife. of."
The doctor Xu walked quickly towards Mrs. Qin on the bed of Babu. The women looked at the Su family and tried to stop the doctor Xu, but Qin Zening was still here!
He randomly threw a sword flower, a sword slashed forward to the right, the silver sword light flashed, and a small ruyi square beside it was cut off like tofu.
"Boom!"
The fist-sized wood just fell to the ground, and the bones rolled out.
Qin Zening didn't say a word, but the meaning was very clear. If anyone dared to rush forward, it would be like this!
The women didn't think that their arms would be harder than this piece of wood, they all swallowed in panic and looked at each other. They are both slaves and maids of the Hou Mansion, and they are all pinched in the hands of the master. Not to mention that the uncle cuts one of their arms today, it is just to kill them, it is also to death in vain!
The women were all scared and dared not come forward.
Su Clan was also afraid, his pupils shrank sharply, and he wanted to come forward in person. This time, Qin Jiu stopped Su Clan’s path and said lukewarmly: "Second aunt, don’t worry, Mr. Xu will see his grandmother soon. Good pulse."
Qin Jiu's words are very meaningful.
Su Clan looked like an ant on a hot pan, staring at Doctor Xu in a daze, his body trembling faintly, and his cold sweat fell down.
After a while, Dr. Xu put away the three fingers of his right hand, opened the medicine box, took out a few silver needles from it, and after lightly baking the tips of the needles with candlelight, he pierced some of Mrs. Qin's large points before getting up.
Qin Zeyu quickly asked, "Doctor Xu, how is my grandmother?"
Everyone's eyes were scorched on Doctor Xu's body, and the shirt behind Su's back was soaked in cold sweat.
Doctor Xu turned his head and said, "Mrs. Tai should have eaten something bad..."
Su Shi rushed and said, "My mother is getting older, and my stomach will inevitably be worse."
"Second aunt, it turns out that your medical skills are better than that of Doctor Xu!" Qin Zening glanced at Su's frosty face mask, then looked at Doctor Xu and arched his hands, "Doctor Xu, dare to ask my grandmother What did you eat?"
"Judging from Madam Tai's pulse condition, abdominal pain, convulsions, etc., she may have taken the poisonous mushroom by mistake." Xu Taiyi said, "Madame Tai is older, not younger than the young, and the toxins have an effect on her internal organs. The damage is quite serious..."
The so-called poisonous mushrooms refer to poisonous mushrooms.
Mother Cui, Mother Ning and others all changed their faces, thinking about what Mrs. Madam had for dinner tonight.
"..." Su's face turned blue.
"The grandmother in this family's residence alone'mistakenly swallowed' toadstool? I think someone deliberately poisoned it." While speaking, Qin Zening looked at Su Clan again, but he was speaking to Qin Zeyu. "Ayu, report to Jing Zhaoyin!"
"Dare you!" Su Clan almost didn't jump up and blurted out.
Qin Jiao took a step closer to the Su clan, staring at the Su clan with his and white eyes unblinking, and asked, "Second aunt, what are you afraid of? My grandmother is poisoned. It is not right to report to the Zhao Mansion. Nothing..."
"Who said I'm scared!" The Su clan raised the volume subconsciously, his mind was chaotic and panicked, "Hou Mansion has been doing a lot of things recently. Don't bother the government for such trivial matters."
"I see, maybe it was because toadstool was accidentally mixed in the vegetables bought in the kitchen..."
Su's attitude was tough at first, and as he spoke, he softened his tone and lowered his posture, "Ning brother, there is a way, and family ugliness can't be publicized. Now it's troubled times, so don't be okay."
Qin Zeyu didn't listen at all, so he ran out. Since his brother said to report to the official, he would report to the official.
"Brother Yu!" Su cried tremblingly, trying to stop Qin Zeyu, she was completely panicked.
Qin Zening ignored Su's first, took a deep breath, and asked Doctor Xu, "Is it possible to save Doctor Xu?"
Mr. Xu stroked his goatee, and said in deep thought: "The old man just gave the needle to temporarily stabilize the situation of the wife. If you want to treat, you must first prescribe a prescription for the wife to inject medicine to induce vomiting, supplemented by acupuncture, and then decoction. Slowly get rid of the poison. Madam Qin is getting older and somewhat dangerous..." It means that he is not sure whether Madam Qin can survive.
Qin Zening solemnly said to the doctor Xu: "Trouble the doctor to save my grandmother!"
The doctor Xu came, and he was naturally going to be treated, so he was busy responding and immediately prescribed the first prescription.
Mother Cui quickly took the prescription to grab the medicine.
Su Clan was panicked and confused, confused, and finally hesitated, and said coldly: "Brother Ning, sister Jiu, since you dislike me for not taking good care of me, then I will go back to my natal house."
Su Shi tossed his sleeves angrily and turned to leave. Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou beside her were a little at a loss. They were somewhat worried about Mrs. Qin Tai. They looked at Mrs. Qin Tai, and then looked at Su Clan. In the end, the siblings still followed Su Clan.
"Don't leave!" Qin Zening's figure flashed and appeared in front of the Su Clan, blocking her path with a scabbard. "No one is allowed to leave until the officer of Jingzhao Mansion arrives!"
Qin Zening directly threatened: "Second aunt, you also know that I have nothing to do with it!"
"Presumptuous!" Qin Sheng couldn't help but shout out for Su Clan.
Qin Zezhou immediately rebuked: "Big Brother, my mother is your aunt, your elder!"
Qin Zening said calmly: "It's your grandmother who is lying on the couch unconscious!"
Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou frowned slightly, always feeling that Qin Zening's words seemed to mean something.
Su's face was even more ugly, his temples were wet with sweat, and his feet were soft and he staggered.
"Mother." Qin Sheng quickly helped Su Clan to sit down.
At this time, Qin Zening and Qin Jiao also sat down.
Qin Zening was not in a hurry, anyway, he had let people watch the entire Hou Mansion, and no one wanted to go out at will.
I don't know how long it took, and Mother Cui came with a bowl of hot soup and medicine, and she and some maids filled Mrs. Qin with medicine.
Dr. Xu and the others avoided temporarily, and Mother Cui and others served on the bedside, helping Mrs. Qin to induce vomiting, wipe her body, change clothes, etc. Then, Mrs. Xu went into the inner room and gave Mrs. Qin a new treatment. Needle, a new prescription was made, and Mother Cui and others went in and out, so busy for a while.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of a gong was heard from afar in the second watch, and Qin Zeyu brought Jing Zhaoyin Hu Mingke and seven or eight officials to come, breaking the silence of the night again.
Qin Zening solemnly said: "Master Hu, my grandmother was poisoned and her life is dying. Please check it thoroughly."
Qin Zening looked at the Su clan intently, his eyes sharp as a knife, and then said, "Look at whether it is the evil slave harming the master or something else."
"..." Su Clan's eyes wandered, and he squeezed the veil in his hand severely.
Hu Mingke had listened to Qin Zeyu roughly talking about the situation on the way here, and didn't go around in circles. He asked Mother Cui first: "What did your wife eat tonight?"
Mother Cui had thought about it a long time ago, and immediately said tonight's dishes: "Vinegar cabbage, cold cucumber, red dates, wolfberry and codonopsis pigeon soup, and..."
"Master Hu, Mrs. Wife has a bad appetite recently. I didn't eat a few bites of every dish in the dinner. The remaining servants and maids were divided among the little maids, but they were all fine, and the rest was completely lost. The swill bucket..."
Seeing Madam Cui eagerly trying to lift the swill bucket, Hu Mingke seemed to smell the sour and refreshing taste, and hurriedly said: "In addition to dinner, what else did the lady have eaten? For example, fruits, tea , Snacks or something."
"Yes!" Mother Cui nodded repeatedly.
Soon, a big maid brought all the tea pots, fruit bowls, and snack boxes.
Hu Mingke politely bowed his hand to the doctor Xu, "I've got the doctor Xu."
Mr. Xu looked at the tea pot and looked at the things on the table in the same way. Finally, he picked up some residue from the snack box and looked at it carefully, his complexion changed.
"It's this pastry." Mr. Xu said affirmatively, and handed the snack box to Hu Mingke. "From the residue, this pastry has poisonous mushrooms added."
Mother Cui's pupils shrank sharply, and her face instantly turned pale, "Mrs. Tai has indeed used this pastry..."
With that said, Mother Cui looked at the Su clan, as did Ning Ning, and Ning raised her finger to the Su clan and said, "This box cake was brought by the wife."
Su's heart is too cruel! Madam Cui got a chill in her heart, and then said: "Because these days, Mrs. Tai and Madam are very unhappy about asking Grandpa to save Master Hou. Today Madam sent a snack to show her good, Madam Tai is very happy, so, Although I don’t like something that is not easy to deconstruct, I still ate two yuan under the coaxing of my wife."
At that time, Su clan ate a piece of it himself, so even if it was later discovered that the wife was poisoned, Mother Cui and Ning had never thought that the pastry was passive. Now that Su's wants to come, it is clear that she picked it and is not poisonous. To eat delicious pastries, the heart is terrible!
Su: "..."
Su's face turned whiter, and his nails sank into the tender palms.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to dispose of this dim sum box, but there were always maids and maids serving close by in Madam Tai's house. She didn't find the opportunity, let alone Qin Zening and the others come so fast!
Qin Sheng looked at Su clan in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize her anymore, his mouth trembled: "Mother..." It's not you, right?
Qin Zening looked straight at Su clan again. This time, even his aunt stopped calling, and said coldly: "Su clan, you murdered your mother-in-law, the evidence is conclusive!"
The daughter-in-law conspired to murder her mother-in-law, and was guilty of unforgivable crimes, not only in the Daqi dynasty, but also in the laws of the ages since ancient times.
The atmosphere was drenched, and it seemed that from early autumn into the dignified winter.
"You talk nonsense!" Of course, the Su family couldn't admit the charge, and denied it, "How could I murder my mother-in-law!"
Qin Zezhou was confused, and after a brief period of horror, he also reacted, "Big Brother, don't even think of slandering my mother!" Qin Zezhou knew in his heart that no matter whether his mother harmed his grandmother or not, he would definitely not be admitted!
"Who dares to move my mother!" Qin Sheng was also flustered, and said sharply, "My second elder sister is the second prince, who dare to move! Come, go to the second prince's mansion and call my second sister back!"
Hu Mingke hesitated.
In the court of Jingzhao Mansion that day, he also saw how much the second prince loved the concubine Qin Xin. However, Qin Zening is not easy to provoke. He has just made a great contribution and is very hot. His aunt is the queen of the dynasty, which means that the emperor is the uncle of their three elder brothers and sisters.
For Hu Mingke, no one can provoke him. In this case, the best way is to report to the public, lest he is not a human being.
Hu Mingke cleared his throat, slapped his hand at the Su Clan, and said: "Mrs. Hou, this life is a matter of life, please also go to Jingzhao Mansion with the official!"
Su subconsciously took two steps backwards, his hands and feet got cold.
If she is taken to the Jingzhao Mansion court, there is enough evidence and evidence, and Master Hou is in jail again, and she is isolated and helpless. This charge of murdering her mother-in-law may not be able to escape, so she must pay her life, even her own children. If you lose your reputation, how will you behave in the future? !
Su's body was trembling visibly with the naked eye.
At this moment, Madam Zhao, who was next to the Su clan, knelt down and said loudly, "It's a slave! It's the poison that the slave gave Madam Tai!"
Su Clan's pupils shrank sharply and looked at Mother Zhao in amazement.
Madam Zhao went on to say: "The slave maid has watched his wife run around with his wife, and she shed tears every day, thinking that if the wife is gone, the maid will be able to worry about it. The slave maid wants to share the worries for the wife, so she commits the crime. This is a big mistake!"
Madam Zhao knocked her head heavily on the ground, "This is all the sins of slaves and maidservants, and the lady knows nothing." As she said, Madam Zhao raised her head again and took a deep look at Su, as if she was hiding. A thousand words.
Su clan looked at Mother Zhao with emotion, and gave her a wink to relieve her.
Madam Zhao didn’t hesitate anymore, and said hoarsely:
It’s all the sins of slaves and maids, murder pays for their lives...
Then, she sprang up from the ground without warning and slammed into the Liang Zhu beside her, so decisive, then firm.
However, Qin Zening had long been staring at Grandma Zhao, how could she die so easily, or in other words, how could he let Su Clan exonerate so easily!
Qin Zening grabbed Grandma Zhao's right arm and pulled hard. Grandma Zhao staggered and sat on the ground, her face pale, and her strength seemed to be drawn away.
In this scene, Su Clan was shocked again and shivered in horror.
Hu Mingke is not a stupid person, why can't he see the way out, and quickly ordered the government officials: "Don't put people in custody!"
The servants immediately took their orders, and the two tall and mighty servants restrained Mother Zhao from left to right. Mother Zhao struggled with hesitation, "It's a slave! It's really a slave! Uncle, you can't be ugly." Yang, you are going to let the servants pay their lives."
Grandma Cui looked at Grandma Zhao trying to help Su's crime, she was so angry that she couldn't help but said: "The madam personally said at the time that she personally made the cakes in this box!"
Su's face was so white that there was no blood, and his lips trembled.
Qin Jiu said lightly: "Mother Zhao, our Qin family is not the one who abuses lynching. In the courtroom, Master Hu will make a clear and clear trial and have a fair opinion!"
Hu Mingke again ordered: "Take it away!"
This time, the masters and servants of Su Clan and Grandma Zhao were taken away together by the yager. Qin Zezhou wanted to stop, but was also blocked by the yager.
Qin Zening pondered for a moment and said to Qin Gui: "Xiao Gui, you take care of your grandmother here, and I will go to Jingzhao Mansion." Qin Zening is the plaintiff in the case of Su's murder of Mrs. Qin. Is going.
Qin Zeyu rushed and said, "Brother, don't worry, there are me and my third sister here!"
After Hu Mingke escorted away the Su clan and Mother Zhao, the hall suddenly became empty, and even Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng hurriedly followed.
The remaining servants looked at each other, still in shock. Everyone has the same idea: This Hou Mansion is really going to change!
At this moment, a maid ran out of the direction of the inner room, shouting: "Madam too is awake!"
Qin Jiu, Qin Zeyu and Emperor Xu hurriedly followed the maid into the inner room again. Mrs. Qin was still lying on the Babu bed, the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and there was a trace of what seemed like nothing in between. Sour.
The east window was open, and a few cool evening breeze entered.
"Grandma, what do you think?" Qin Zeyu asked with concern.
Mrs. Qin Taiyan was in a blue shadow right now, she dented slightly, her breath was weak, and she looked at Qin Zeyu and Qin Jiao in a dazed expression. After a while, she said hoarsely: "Grandma is okay..."
Her voice was weak, vain and feeble, and her tone was a little sad.
