Captain Yin quietly walked out and came in again after a moment. At the same time, Song Bo led twenty arresters and twenty yamen runners to Zhenlong Pavilion.

In the room, Chen Xiao was still interrogating Master Hua Si.

Master Hua Si answered questions and answered questions without asking, but he also took the initiative to answer, provided that he picked himself out.

"How did Yan Debao know that the person who really traded with him was the Longan Palace, not yours?" Chen Xiao asked.

"At first, he didn't know that the Longan Palace was behind me. Later, this guy probably followed me. In short, he knew something, and the price was higher than before. He also asked me about the situation of the Longan Palace. I didn't dare to hide it and told Sun Huiqing about it. At that time, Sun Huiqing told me that it was sooner or later. People like Yan Debao have their eyes all over the capital. If you want to hide it from him all the time, it would be impossible. As long as he keeps it silent and understands each other, it is not a bad thing."

Chen Xiao asked again: "Since that's the case, why did Prince Long'an have the intention to kill Yan Debao?"

"A few days ago, I don't know what happened. The Red Bird Case several years ago was brought out. Yan Debao was suddenly pulled in. Even the Yan family's village in Changping was targeted. Mrs. Yan lived in the village. This was too serious. Yan Debao was afraid that something might happen. He thought he wanted to pull a quilt. He quietly said that he had big news in his hand. When I looked for him, he just smiled and said an introduction. He said that Master Xu had drunk a bowl of corn slag porridge in Dali Temple. If you want to know what happened to this bowl of corn slag porridge, you will take him to see the person behind me."

Hua Jingyao, who had been hiding behind the screen, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Master Hua Si said the key point.

Master Xu was one of the test setters for the imperial examination that year. After the test questions were leaked, Dali Temple detained six question setters for review. When Master Xu was examined, Master Xu suddenly covered his chest and fell to the ground. At that time, the emperor sat behind the screen, heard the sound, and immediately came out and picked up Master Xu. However, before he could hire an imperial physician, Master Xu died in the emperor's arms.

The emperor felt very guilty about this, so the case did not continue to be investigated, and it became a unsolved case.

In order to investigate this matter, Chen Xiao also investigated the old coroner Yuan who was responsible for posting the autopsy for Master Xu. Unfortunately, the old coroner Yuan broke off the news after returning home, and he could not continue to investigate at this time.

Now, Hua Jingyao finally heard the name of Master Xu again. She subconsciously stood up and looked at Master Hua Si through the gap in the screen.

Mr. Hua Si continued, "I reported what Yan Debao said to Sun Huiqing truthfully, so Sun Huiqing asked me to make an appointment with Yan Debao and buy the news for 50,000 taels of silver. Yan Debao was already ready to run away at that time. At first, I was worried that he would not come over, but I didn't expect that he would still take the risk..."

People die for money and birds die for food. These 50,000 taels become Yan Debao's death talisman.

Chen Xiao suddenly changed his mind and asked, "Do you know the specific address of the Zhuangzi who was testing the medicine?"

"Every time I go, there will be someone leading the way. I and those who test the medicine are all blindfolded, but I have been there several times, and I have to cross the river by boat every time. After the first time I crossed the river, I smelled a lot of chicken shit. Later, when I went there, the chicken shit smell was not that strong, but there was still vaguely. I guess there must be people who raise chickens there, and they raised a lot of chickens, and they might have moved away. There must be windbreakers nearby. Once, when I came back, I found a windbreaker leaf on the corner of my robe. You can find them based on these clues. You may be able to find them. By the way, those who test the medicine, I have seen their list and still remember some names. You can also ask them for questions. They are different from me. Every time I just take them over and are sent back, but they have to stay in the village for six or seven days. It is said that they are going to observe their reactions after taking the medicine. They may know more."

"Did you kill Wen Dazhu's adopted daughter Azhi?" Chen Xiao asked again.

Master Hua Si was startled, and the flesh on his face trembled: "No, no, Azhi was not killed by me."

As soon as he said that, Master Hua Si was stunned again. How did Master Chen Si know about Azhi?

Azhi was originally a third-class maid in Mrs. Cai's yard. Old Mrs. Cai gave Azhi a room for him. He knew that Azhi was Mrs. Cai's person, so he was wary of him everywhere. He usually didn't let Azhi go out, so he did needles and threads in the house. However, Azhi was smart and quickly expressed his loyalty to him. He even drew a clear line with Mrs. Cai, and also handed his mother over to Master Hua Si for the condemnation.

After all, he was his pillow. When he learned that Azhi wanted to be his concubine, Master Hua Si gradually trusted Azhi, so he handed over the mission to Azhi's adoptive father Wen Dazhu.

"Since something happened to the person who tried the medicine, I washed my hands and stopped doing it, but Wen Dazhu had not made enough money. He asked Azhi to blow the wind beside me. He wanted to make two more votes. I was annoyed and thought that keeping Azhi by her side would be a disaster. After hearing this, Sun Huiqing gave me a bottle of medicine, saying that after using it, it would cause people to suffer from wind and cold, but it would not take human life. After ten or half a month, I used the medicine for Azhi, and she became sick that night. After Mrs. Lu heard that, she was worried that she would get sick, so she immediately notified Azhi's family and took Azhi out of the mansion. When Azhi left, she was obviously uncomfortable with wind and cold, and she would never die. But I never expected that after a few days, Wen Dazhu came to the door and said that Azhi was dead and asked me for money. I gave him dozens of taels of silver, and he gave him a few dozen taels of silver. Only then did he give up."

Chen Xiao sneered: "You said that the medicine was given to you by Sun Huiqing on his own initiative? Not what you asked for from him?"

"Of course, Azhi is my wife, young and beautiful, how could I bear to let her die? I just thought she always told me about her. I was annoyed, so I complained to Sun Huiqing a few times. Unexpectedly, Sun Huiqing gave the medicine, and said that the medicine was made by Mr. Wuyou. It was fine after use. It would be fine to keep Azhi sick for a few days and had no intention of annoying me again. I believed it, but I never thought that Azhi would die."

When Mr. Hua Si said this, he even shed a few tears.

Hua Jingyao shook her head helplessly. Why didn't she realize in her previous life that Master Hua Si would be such a person?

"So did you still have any contact with Wen Dazhu later?" Chen Xiao asked.
