Chapter 396 The real murderer

Seeing that Wang Da was still trying to argue, Jiang Youzhen asked, "Why? You still want to argue? Do you know what the crime of murdering the master is?"

Jiang Youzhen shouted angrily, saying that Wang Da was still obsessed with this little bit of money.

Wang Da’s face turned pale and he slumped to the ground.

"Yes! This silver is indeed not mine. It was given by the chef, but I really didn't kill the master."

"Tell me what you know truthfully!" After going around in circles, we are finally getting closer to the truth.

Wang Da didn't dare to hide it anymore and told everyone what had happened.

"This morning, I was very hungry and wanted to go to the big kitchen to find something to eat."

Wang Da began to recall, "At that time, there was only the chef in the kitchen. I was wondering why the chef was alone today and there was no one to help him. But I wanted to grab something to eat, so I didn't say anything."

Jiang Youzhen listened carefully. It turned out that when Wang Da stole two steamed buns and was about to leave, he found that the chef had sprinkled medicine powder into a bowl. Of course, he didn't know what the medicine powder was, but he knew it was not a good thing.

Because the chef was extremely nervous at the time, the medicine powder spilled out, and his panic-stricken look aroused Wang Da's suspicion.

"I hid aside and peeked, and found that it was a bowl of bird's nest porridge. The only people who drank bird's nest porridge in the mansion were the master and his wife, but I couldn't understand why the chef wanted to harm the master and his wife. At that time, I wanted to stop him, but suddenly I had an idea. If I threaten the chef, I will definitely get some benefits."

"So you blackmailed and disregarded the lives of the master and the mistress, just for money?" Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly.

Wang Da turned his eyes away guiltily. He smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master is so precious, how can you know the hardship of servants like me? The monthly salary is only 400 coins. I am already 21 years old this year, but I am still single and have not married.

Plus, I have signed a contract to sell myself, so my future is uncertain. If I have money, I can redeem myself, become a free person, marry a beautiful wife and live a good life. "

"That's not a reason for you to disregard other people's lives for your own selfish desires." Although Jiang Youzhen felt that everyone was selfish, a life was at hand. Could he feel at ease taking the money?

Wang Da smiled bitterly, "The chef was afraid that I would tell others, so he gave me fifty taels of silver. I promised him to keep it a secret, but in order to prevent suspicion from falling on us, we decided to find a scapegoat."

Everyone knew what happened next. Liuzi was the scapegoat. The chef cooperated with Wang Da to make false testimony. Liuzi did not leave the house yesterday. He helped to bring the roast chicken.

As for the silver, that was an accident. Wang Dacai had only received fifty taels of silver, so how could he be willing to use it to frame Liuzi? It was just because he was in a hurry yesterday.

After learning that the master had been poisoned and was unconscious, they panicked and Wang Da lost his purse.

The chef was brought in quickly, and Jiang Youzhen naturally interrogated him.

The chef knew nothing about anything. He only knew that someone gave him two hundred taels of silver and promised to give him another three hundred taels after the task was completed.

Money can move people's hearts, and five hundred taels is really too much, enough to make people's hearts move.

A servant only earned four or five hundred coins a month, so five hundred taels of silver was a huge fortune.

"He said that this poison is not easy to detect and will only make people think it is an emergency. Even if he didn't die, his pulse and symptoms would be more like a stroke. Although I was nervous, I still had a chance. But I was in a hurry and was discovered by Wang Da, so I threw the paper into the swill bucket."

He was just hoping for a lucky break, but unfortunately Jiang Youzhen was so careful that she discovered it.

"You said that after the matter is done, you will go to him to get the remaining silver? When will you arrange it?" Jiang Youzhen's heart moved.

"Tomorrow evening at 3:45 pm, in the teahouse behind the house."

"Then you go to meet him tomorrow night." Jiang Youzhen's eyes narrowed. Isn't now a good time to find the real culprit behind the scenes?

The system did not give any prompts. The real murderer had been found, so the only one left was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although that person may not show up, we cannot miss this opportunity.

The next day, servants came to deliver the food.

"Master! This is the chicken porridge that Madam specially ordered the kitchen to make. Please have some!"

From yesterday till now, Jiang Youzhen hasn't slept much and hasn't eaten any food.

After Jiang Youzhen's performance yesterday, Manager Liu and the others had already regarded Jiang Youzhen as the backbone of the mansion, and even addressed him as "Young Master" without using his surname.

"How are Madam and Miss today?" Jiang Youzhen asked with a nod.

She was indeed a little hungry. She only ate a few pieces of cake the whole day yesterday.

"Madam and Miss seem to be in a better mood today than yesterday."

Manager Liu sighed as he spoke. He was also worried. The master was the mainstay of the family, and now he couldn't go to the government school. In the future, all the expenses of the government would be wasted.

"How is the teacher? Is he awake?" After Jiang Youzhen hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, he began to care about Qian Chongen.

"He hasn't woken up yet, but he looks much better than yesterday. Doctor Lu is indeed quite capable, better than those famous doctors in the city."

Jiang Youzhen nodded and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Let's go! Let's go see the teacher."

When she arrived at the main courtyard bedroom, Kong and Qian Ru were already in the bedroom, but their attention was on Qian Chongen on the bed.

"Master, you are finally awake." After seeing Qian Cong'en wake up, Kong felt relieved.

"Teacher is awake? Go and ask Doctor Lu to take his pulse."

Jiang Youzhen said as he moved closer to the bed. Qian Chongen's eyes were clearer than yesterday. When he saw Jiang Youzhen, he opened his mouth excitedly, and it was obvious that he was more conscious than yesterday.

"Jiang Youzhen!"

The three words were called out more coherently and clearly than yesterday, and Jiang Youzhen was somewhat delighted.

It seems that the prescription is indeed effective. Yesterday, Jiang Youzhen saw Doctor Lu cut a dozen slices of ginseng and put them in. As expected, precious medicinal materials must be used.

Doctor Lu came soon, and when he saw Qian Chongen's condition, he was also a little surprised.

"It seems that the ginseng is really effective. It's a good stuff! It's better than all the hundred-year-old ginseng I have ever seen." Doctor Lu couldn't help but marvel at it and said that he must continue taking it today.

Jiang Youzhen was also very happy. He suddenly thought that it seemed that ginseng would be more effective if it was watered with the mixed liquid.

However, Mrs. Kong was a little worried. The medicines she was taking now were all bought by Jiang Youzhen, and she had already spent a lot of money.

Although the master was most likely implicated by Jiang Youzhen in this matter, Kong still couldn't use her money with a clear conscience.

I used up half of a ginseng root yesterday. It will only last for three or four days at most. Where can I find more ginseng after that?

"Just this ginseng?" Kong was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized that her master was staring at her, so she quickly stopped talking.

"Everyone get out..." Qian Chongen's voice was a little weak.

Everyone was confused when they heard this, but Qian Chongen pointed at Jiang Youzhen and said, "Stay!"
