Chapter 547 He is the real murderer who killed Old Madam Jiang!

The term "witchcraft" (巫蛊) refers to both witchcraft and witchcraft.

Like a weight.

The scale is inseparable from the weight, and the weight is inseparable from the scale.

Most of the witchcraft practices in Miao areas are inseparable from Gu poison.

Therefore, witchcraft and sorcery are inseparable in Miao territory.

Although there are some strange witchcrafts like the lightning-summoning spell, they require the right time, place, and people to perform, and they also require a lot of the practitioner's energy and strength to be used. Therefore, this method is rarely used in Miao areas.

At this moment, Li Qingluo was still using witchcraft.

However, the actual effect remains to be seen.

"Would he really tell the truth if I just made him eat this worm?"

Ado asked curiously.

Li Qingluo: "That's how Master taught us back then."

"Just wait and see."

After a while, Jiang Yanzhi suddenly had a drop of blood from his nose.

Li Qingluo immediately stepped forward and asked, "Jiang Yanzhi! Madam Jiang, did you kill your mother?"

Jiang Yanzhi: "Yes... I put poison in the medicine I sent her..."

"If she drinks it and sleeps for one night, she will die of poisoning at dawn the next day."

Li Qingluo's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Are you sure your poison will only kill her after she sleeps through the night?"

"What kind of poison is this?"

Jiang Yanzhi: "I don't know... that doctor... has disappeared without a trace."

Li Qingluo: "Then have you determined the cause of your mother's death?"

Jiang Yanzhi: "She was poisoned to death."

He died at the third quarter of the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

Li Qingluo sighed heavily.

She turned to look at A'duo: "Let's lure out the Gu worms."

A'duo looked completely confused: "Why? Uncle-Master, didn't you say you were going to use the Obedience Gu to make him go to the yamen to turn himself in first thing tomorrow morning?"

"What now..."

Li Qingluo: "Old Madam Jiang, perhaps she really didn't die from his poison."

Ado was shocked: "It wasn't his poison?"

"But didn't he just admit it?"

Li Qingluo: "First, lure the insects out."

"Let's talk outside."

Ado had no choice but to do as instructed.

As soon as the Gu worm crawled out of Jiang Yanzhi's nose, Jiang Yanzhi immediately closed his eyes and fainted.

Li Qingluo and Aduo quickly left the study, and after meeting up with Sha Si, the three of them quietly left the Jiang family again.

Upon returning to the Nangong residence, A'duo did not immediately go back.

Instead, filled with curiosity, she pulled Li Qingluo aside and asked, "Junior Uncle, please tell me. What exactly happened?"

"Didn't you initially insist that Jiang Yanzhi was the murderer?"

"Why isn't it anymore?"

Li Qingluo reached out and tapped her forehead: "If I don't tell you, you won't be able to sleep tonight?"

“I was absolutely certain he was the murderer.”

"But actually, I also fell into the trap of preconceived notions."

Ado: "How so?"

Li Qingluo: "The bowl of medicine he gave to Old Madam Jiang was indeed poisoned. And Old Madam Jiang did indeed drink it."

"But before the poison took effect, Old Madam Jiang died first."

"Therefore, Madam Jiang actually died from another kind of poison."

Ado took a deep breath.

"You mean, there were other people who also poisoned Madam Jiang?"

"She died at the hands of another murderer."

Li Qingluo: "You could say that."

“Jiang Yanzhi couldn’t possibly be lying. So, he is indeed the murderer and did commit the killing, but another murderer beat him to it and killed Old Madam Jiang first.”

Ado: "Who...is in such a hurry?"

Li Qingluo looked at A Duo without saying a word.

Aduo suddenly realized: "Master Jiang, Master Jiang?"

"So it really was him who killed her? He also murdered his mother?"

"What heinous crime did Madam Jiang commit that led both of her sons to try and kill her?"

"How pitiful..."

Li Qingluo sighed.

"Old Madam Jiang dotes on her youngest son."

"Minister Jiang must protect the Jiang family."

"Master Jiang the Second had been neglected and ignored his whole life, and he didn't want his daughter, Jiang Qiniang, to have to sacrifice her later years for her third brother."

"That's why this tragedy happened."

"Perhaps, that is indeed the truth."

"Both of Madam Jiang's sons wanted to kill her, but by some twist of fate, she died first at the hands of her second son."

"Neither of them is innocent."

Li Qinglu shook her head and picked up her pen to write a letter to Jiang Qiniang herself.

There are some things that she only needs to point out a few times, and Jiang Qiniang is a smart woman who will understand the truth on her own.

Seal the letter.

The next day, Li Qingluo handed the task over to Zheng Mama, asking her to make a trip to the Yang residence herself.

Jiang Qiniang did not reply.

However, only two days later, it was heard that Master Jiang had hanged himself in the prison of the Nan'an Prefecture government.

With the suicide of Second Master Jiang, the case of the poisoning of Old Madam Jiang was also closed.

The Jiang family suddenly lost an old lady and two masters, a total of three masters.

I heard that Minister Jiang's hair turned half white overnight.

The Jiang family remained quiet for a long time afterward.

It wasn't until the marriage of Jiang Shisan Niang, the legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Jiang family, caused such a huge uproar that the Jiang family returned to the public eye in Nan'an...

It is said that Duan Rongshi was busy with the Imperial Guard for five whole days before he returned home.

Upon his return, the Jiang family was secretly holding a funeral.

The coffins of the three masters were transported out of the city together.

Half the street was covered with scattered paper money.

The streets gradually filled with onlookers, spreading rumors about the Jiang family's affairs as if they were even more bizarre than cases in the Book of Strange Tales.

When Duan Rongshi returned home, Li Qingluo was lying on the bed taking a nap.

Bao Xia and Dong'er were busy in the courtyard when they saw Duan Rongshi return. They quickly knelt down to pay their respects.

Duan Rongshi frowned slightly: "Go out."

The two of them quickly fled as if they were escaping.

I knew my son-in-law had a cold face.

I heard that he only smiles at girls, and treats everyone else the same.

Now that he has been appointed a general, his aura is even more intimidating.

So what if you're good-looking?

They are so unapproachable that they are terrifying.

The two ran into Sparrow as soon as they went out.

They quickly asked, "Sister Que'er, the young master is back. Should we prepare breakfast so you can take it in later?"

Sparrow: "Prepare it."

"Oh, right, have the maidservant boil some water, we'll probably need it later."

Bao Xia and Dong'er were both stunned and speechless.

Why would you need hot water so early in the morning, in broad daylight?

Sparrow: "There are only two masters in the family. They are our heaven and earth. Why should we follow other people's rules?"

"It is our duty as servants to simply serve our two masters well. Go now."

The two men immediately obeyed the order and dared not delay any longer.

Li Qingluo was awakened by the fragrance.

She sat up abruptly, "What's that smell?"

When I lifted the bed curtains, I saw that breakfast had already been laid out on the table.

Li Qinglu was wondering why breakfast had been brought in before she even got up.

Turning his head, he saw Duan Rongshi sitting by the window, drinking tea and reading a book.
