Chapter 159 This Is Not Mother
But his smile soon froze on his face.
Because Qiao Xi didn't continue to reach out.
"Princess, don't miss the auspicious time."
Mr. Feng Shui urged again.
Qiao Xi remained unmoved, her gaze falling on the skeleton's foot bones.
Mr. Feng Shui and Su Heting both followed her gaze and their expressions changed.
The skeleton had six metatarsal bones in its foot.
In other words, this person had six fingers on his feet during his lifetime.
Qiao Xi's heart was in turmoil.
This is not the mother, but the auspicious aunt who is beside the mother.
In the Dayou Dynasty, having six toes on the feet was considered unlucky. Aunt Jixiang came from a wealthy family, but was disliked by her family because she was born with six fingers. Later, she was sold to a human trafficker at a low price.
Aunt Jixiang was very concerned about Liuzhi and never married. Her mother understood her and never told anyone about Aunt Jixiang and Liuzhi. She only found out about it by accident when she was young.
Qiao Xi suddenly thought a lot.
Why is Aunt Jixiang's body in my mother's coffin? Where is my mother?
Where is mother?
At the same time, she also figured out some things.
I understand why the other party went to so much trouble to disturb my mother's grave and even said such embarrassing words.
She closed her eyes and withdrew her hand completely.
Seeing this, the Feng Shui master hurriedly asked, "Is the princess afraid, or does she dislike her mother?"
He had received five hundred taels of silver from the other party, and as long as the Princess of Xinjiang North picked up the bones herself, the other party would give him another five hundred taels.
Although he was a famous Feng Shui master in the capital, the mistress he secretly kept was the daughter of a high-ranking official who was in poverty. He spent a lot of money to support her, but his wife at home was very strict with him.
The concubine has not served him wholeheartedly for several days. With the one thousand taels, he can buy her some good things to please her and enjoy her ecstasy again.
He was still thinking about the beauty of his concubine, and just wanted to finish the job quickly and get the money. Now that he saw Qiao Xi stop, he got anxious and tried to provoke her.
It was this carelessness that made Su Heting and Qiao Xi realize the clue. Almost at the same time, they grabbed the Feng Shui master's left and right hands respectively and reached into the bones at the bottom of the coffin.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Bone collection is a serious matter. She is your mother, how can you be so disrespectful to her... Ugh..."
A piercing pain suddenly swept through his body, and black blood flowed from Mr. Feng Shui's lips.
His eyes widened as he stared at his hands in disbelief.
Qiao Xi and Su Heting immediately let him go.
Su Heting shouted, "Doctor Leper."
He originally thought that Mrs. Qiao might have died of poisoning, so he thought of bringing Laibajiao with him so that he could take the opportunity to check Mrs. Qiao's body to see if there was anything unusual.
Therefore, Lai Chijiao followed the two of them all the time and saw the whole process clearly.
At the same time Su Heting spoke, he also reached out and felt the Feng Shui master's pulse.
In just a moment, his expression changed drastically, "The poison has already invaded my internal organs."
Can't help.
As soon as he finished speaking, blood gushed out of Mr. Feng Shui's mouth, and he died with his eyes wide open.
This change happened so quickly that it shocked everyone.
Yu Tianbao cried out in shock, "How could it be poisonous? Could it be that Madam Qiao was really poisoned?"
After so many years, the corpse can still kill people. How strong is the poison?
Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately Qiao Xi did not reach out.
He patted his chest, thinking that the girl he liked was just lucky, and then he clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky.
Then he heard Laibajiao say, "This isn't the poison in the corpse itself. Someone poisoned it."
Yu Tianbao paused as he bowed to the sky, "Who is so wicked as to poison the corpse? What does he want to do..."
After asking, his eyes widened, "Someone wants to harm Princess Chaoyang?"
damned!
Who dares to touch his sweetheart?
He immediately said, "Laifu, Laifu, go find out for me who is trying to harm Princess Chaoyang. I will beat his head off."
Su Heting looked at him deeply and asked Lai Chijiao, "Do you know what kind of poison it is?"
His voice was as cold as ice.
If Xi Baoer had not discovered the abnormality of the corpse, she would have been the one poisoned.
He whispered a few words to the guards around him, and held Qiao Xi's hand tightly with some fear.
The lecherous barefoot said, "This poison is called Huangquan. If you touch it, you will go to Huangquan. If you add strong liquor, the poison will be even more toxic, but water is its nemesis."
Qiao Xi's body trembled slightly.
Wang Yuan was certain that she would personally collect her mother's bones, so he poisoned the corpse.
It was not easy for him to kill her, so he could only start with her mother. He also spread those rumors deliberately to anger her and make her feel guilty towards her mother.
Guilt will make her try to make amends, and personally collecting the bones is a must.
Anger will make her lose her rationality and calmness, making it difficult for her to notice clues.
He calculated it very well.
Unfortunately, she was a reborn person, and had many years of assassination experience in her previous life, which had already forged her to be calm in the face of emergencies.
In order to avoid her suspicion, Wang Yuan only applied medicine to the exposed bones and did not touch other parts, so the six toes on the bones were not discovered.
She noticed something was wrong when she was cleaning up the rotten clothes, but she wasn't sure at that time.
It was not until the Feng Shui master urged her that she understood everything.
"This is not my mother's body. This is Aunt Jixiang who was by my mother's side. She was born with six fingers."
She looked at Su Heting, but her words were for everyone to hear, "My husband, my mother's death is a mystery, and now her body is missing. Aunt Jixiang has been poisoned. I want to report it to the police."
She couldn't understand it before. The news that her mother died of poisoning had already spread, so why did Wang Yuan dare to dig up his mother's body? Wasn't he afraid that she would perform an autopsy?
She even held a glimmer of hope, thinking that perhaps her mother was not poisoned to death, but was really ill.
Now I know that Wang Yuan was so fearless because they had already replaced the body and were not afraid of her inspection at all.
But he probably never dreamed that Aunt Jixiang would have six fingers.
This may be the case that those who do evil will eventually perish, or it may be that the souls of the Qiao family are unwilling to accept and want justice.
She couldn't wait any longer.
Su Heting nodded and said, "I'll send someone to report to the authorities."
Yu Tianbao refused to give in and said, "I'll testify for you."
He wanted to perform better than Su Heting, so he followed him directly to the Dali Temple.
As soon as he left, many people who came to watch the fun also followed him. They also wanted to see how the Dali Temple would handle this case.
It was on the street that Concubine Yu met the Xinjiang Northern Army who were going to the Dali Temple to report a case, as well as a large group of people and Yu Tianbao behind them.
Upon learning that the identity of the corpse was exposed, Concubine Yu subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
He hurriedly said, "Return to the palace."
She had to inform His Majesty of this matter as soon as possible, and also had to think of a countermeasure.
However, the procession when she left the palace was so large that Yu Tianbao saw her from a distance.
"Tianbao greets Auntie. Why did you leave the palace today? Are you going to see Grandmother?"
It was difficult to deceive Concubine Yu about her purpose of leaving the palace, so she told him the truth and asked, "Tianbao, what exactly is going on?"
Yu Tianbao told her the story indignantly, and finally cursed, "Aunt, you must tell the emperor uncle that these unscrupulous people are too evil and must be severely punished."
He claimed that he was not a good person, but he was not that bad either. Especially when this bad man appeared in front of Qiao Xi, he felt even more disgusted with him.
He couldn't help but curse, "If my nephew were to tell you, the people who caused the death of Madam Qiao and Nong should be struck by lightning and have no descendants."
Concubine Yu, who was riding in the sedan chair, felt a sudden chill on her back and said hurriedly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Her son will live a long life and be surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
Yu Tianbao was startled by her.
My aunt has always loved him and has always been gentle. She has never said anything harsh to him. What happened today?
Concubine Yu realized her own abnormality and added, "How can you tell His Majesty what to do? If this gets out, it would be disrespectful.
Besides, Mrs. Qiao's death is just a rumor. There is no evidence, so we shouldn't just talk nonsense."
Yu Tianbao had a limited brain and didn’t think too much about it. He just said “oh” and let it go.
