Chapter 705
Rong Jiu frowned: "You mean, Mr. Huang died suddenly for no reason in front of everyone?"

Mrs. Huang cried even harder, she was about to cry, Cao Shangshu said: "That's right, at that time, Mrs. Huang asked me how the case was going, but suddenly she stared at me, fell down and died. "

Rong Jiu and Shen Cheng looked at each other, and they both noticed something was wrong.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one discovered how the hidden guard made the move.

Shen Cheng looked at the teacup on the table and asked Cao Shangshu, "Are you drinking tea at that time?"

Cao Shangshu nodded, and Mrs. Huang said with tears: "The master was terrified at first, but after hearing the report from the servants, saying that Mr. Cao asked for an audience, he suddenly calmed down a lot and asked him to cook tea. I persuaded a few words, but the master said, come to the door You are a guest, so don't be rude to others."

Seeing that Shen Cheng picked up the teacup and smelled it, Cao Shangshu also felt that this was unusual, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that someone poisoned the tea to murder Mr. Huang?"

Shen Cheng put the teacup back on the case, and slowly said: "The tea is not poisonous, but Master Huang definitely did not die suddenly."

Both Cao Shangshu and Mrs. Huang were shocked.

Madam Huang's face showed a trace of bewilderment, and she asked bitterly: "Who is it, who is going to kill my master?"

Shen Cheng said: "It's purely nonsense that ghosts are causing trouble. Madam Huang knows why Mr. Huang became sick from fright?"

Madam Huang's expression changed slightly, she squeezed her fingers, but said nothing.

Seeing the struggling expression on her face, Rong Jiu knew that she must know something, but the matter was so important that she didn't dare to speak out for fear of being implicated and blamed.

Rong Jiu said earnestly: "What Mr. Huang did alone will never implicate the whole Huang family. Since he is dead, all his sins should also dissipate. Please tell the truth about what Mrs. Huang knows. When the time comes If the emperor offends the Huang family, I will definitely intercede for the Huang family."

Mrs. Huang hesitated for a moment, and then hesitated to speak: "After the master was frightened and fell ill, he kept muttering to himself, saying that there is a wrong and a debt. If Miss Xue wants revenge, she will go to the Xiao family. It was Mr. Xiao who killed you." Kill her whole family."

Hearing this, Cao Shangshu remembered Xiao Jue's frenzied and terrified state, and couldn't help interjecting: "I was at Xiao's house just now, and I also heard Xiao Jue shouting 'There are ghosts, there are ghosts', and he also said that it was a woman. The ghost wanted to die by himself, but unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he passed out."

Mrs. Huang continued: "I was shocked when I heard it, but after I asked, I found out that back then, Mr. Xiao fell in love with that Miss Xue, and had someone snatch her back and humiliate her. That Miss Xue couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself to death. Yes, the Xiao family gave the Xue family a hundred taels of silver to threaten the Xue family to settle the matter, but Father Xue came to Dali Temple to sue the Xiao family."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao paused, and turned her head to look at Mr. Huang: "At that time, the master had just been promoted to Dali Temple Minister. He was afraid that he would offend the Xiao family and lose his official position, so he suppressed the case and went to the Xiao family to report the news. Later, it came out that Miss Xue was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her family and poisoned the whole family."

After Cao Shangshu heard it, cold sweat suddenly came down his face: "Master Huang's death, is it because the Xiao family came to kill people?"

Shen Cheng said to Mrs. Huang: "Master Huang was already involved in the case, but now he died suddenly for no reason. We want to bring his body back to Dali Temple. Please forgive me, Mrs. Huang."

"You want an autopsy? But he is dead, what can we find out? Since last night, he has been in a state of panic all day long, and now that he is dead, he will be arrested."

Mrs. Huang was speechless, with mournful tears in her eyes, and she was sobbing so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

She had heard Mr. Huang mention the matter of punishment and prison in the past, and knew that someone like Mr. Huang died suddenly and the cause of death was unknown. In the end, only an autopsy could be done.
