"The master of the house, open the door quickly!" he fell asleep until dawn, and was awakened by a rapid knock on the door in a daze, and sat up suddenly, it turned out that it was not a dream, but someone was really knocking on the door outside.

"It's coming, it's coming. She grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on her body, ran over and opened the door, and outside was a little maid she had never met, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just went to the well to fetch water, and as soon as I arrived at the firewood room to prepare for burning, I saw a lot of corpses lying all over the place......" Before she finished speaking, she went straight to the firewood room despite her disheveled clothes, "The master of the house, wait for me!"

The little maid followed closely behind her, and when the two of them arrived at the firewood room, there were more corpses, and they were already lying on the porch.

"How can this be?" Qi He hurriedly squatted down to check the corpse, the death situation was exactly the same as that of Su Qing and the others before, but these people did not have whip wounds on their bodies, nor did they have any wounds, "How is it poisonous, so powerful." ”

He carefully observed the direction in which they fell, and all the dead came out of the firewood room without exception, and even several people died before they could come out.

If it's poisoning......

Then there must be something wrong with the firewood house.

"Can't go in!" she was about to go in to find out, but Boyan ran towards her, stopped her, and didn't even give her a chance to react, so he pulled her back a few steps, "These people are poisoned and fell to the ground, if I expected, now they are all breathing like dead people, and after a while they will deceive the corpses, like the five corpses by the lake, this poison is very weird, you must be careful." ”

"But if we don't go in, how can we know why they were poisoned?" He shook off his hand, and his tone was a little more rushed, now that more and more people are dying, she must not sit still, otherwise how can she be worthy of the dead master, she promised to take care of the orchid garden.

Even if you die, it doesn't matter.

"You stupid, if you die, then the entire orchid garden will be finished, this is the real purpose of the poisoner, you shouldn't be so impulsive. Boyan was afraid that she would be impulsive, even though he knew that he was not defeated by her, he would do his best to stop her.

He stopped.

Boyan was relieved when he saw her stop, and he grabbed the little maid hiding behind him, "Tell me, what do you usually do in the firewood room?"

"We all get up at the end of the day to fetch water, and then go to the firewood room to boil, because Aunt Ye bathes and changes clothes in the morning, we have to send hot water to her, and we have to make breakfast, usually if it is my turn to fetch water, it should already be time to make breakfast. The little maid was sweating nervously, she was trembling when she spoke, and half a sentence was very unpleasant, "I got up late today, and I wondered why I slept so soundly, and I didn't hear my sisters get up at all, and when I ran to the well to get water, it was already like this on the firewood side." ”

"Do you boil anything other than boiling water?"

"Generally speaking, we all eat a bowl of noodles in the morning, yesterday the five sisters in the firewood room died, and today everyone is afraid that no one will cook, so they all crowded to the firewood room to get some good food, but I didn't expect to ......" The little maid looked at the pile of corpses on the ground worriedly and sighed.

Listening to this, he became suspicious.

"Could it be that the food has been poisoned?"

"Then I don't know, it's just that there are so many people, it can't be that they were all poisoned after breakfast!" The little maid said timidly, and suddenly she saw one of the corpses open her eyes, and suddenly screamed, frightened the six gods and no owner, "Ah!! the head of the family, and the corpse is being deceived again!!"

As soon as he turned around, he saw the corpses opening their eyes one by one, slowly getting up, and walking towards them step by step.

"Sure enough, it's a corpse again, this poison seems extraordinary. ”

Boyan flicked his sleeves, took out a yellow rune paper from his sleeve and threw it into the air, then drew a few strokes on the rune paper, and shouted "Ding"!

The corpses froze.

"So you still know how to fix the talisman. He chuckled, before she could make a move, this kid fixed the corpses, who knew that Boyan would run away with her, and said while running, "My internal strength is too poor, that talisman can last half a cup of tea at most, and when these corpses break free from the shackles of the talisman, we will be finished." ”

Hey, she knew it.

Boyan is really a shallow learner, and he is not proficient in any charms.

He shook off his hand again, jumped up, jumped onto the roof, and looked down at the entire orchid garden from a high place, trying to find some clues.

Boyan was already out of breath, he glanced at the equally panting little maid who was following behind, as if he had thought of some important clue, "You just said that Miss Ye bathed and changed clothes in the morning?"

"Yes...... Target. The little maid ran out of breath, so she could only nod her head.

"Then will she wash again at night before going to bed?" he remembered that he heard in front of Ye Ziwu yesterday that she clearly said that she was going to wash up and go to bed, could it be said that she was cheating on Yuhe, "When does she usually sleep?"

"Miss Ye's habits are different from ours, she only bathes when she gets up every day, never asks for water in the firewood room at night, and doesn't wash before going to bed. The little maid shook her head as she spoke, although she was a little afraid of Ye Zi, she also said it truthfully and did not hide it.

She was lying.

Yesterday, it was clear that someone had entered her room, and no one came out later, which means that the person who came back from outside was Ye Zi herself, she was hiding something, but if she didn't come out, then how did this poison come down.

Boyan thought about it, but he was still puzzled.

He unconsciously walked to the front of Ye Zi's house, the door was closed, there was no sign of coming out, it was indeed early, maybe she hadn't gotten up yet, but no matter how she said it, she was also a subordinate, and this treatment was about to catch up with the master.

Since he couldn't find anything here, Boyan thought that he had to start in a different place, and just walked back with his front feet, his eyes caught a glimpse of a few grass that had withered and yellowed next to his master.

It shouldn't be, Jiangnan has always had abundant rain, how can this grass be ...... Dead?

He bent down and found a culvert under the pillar, in which water flowed continuously, and he quickly called the maid over, "Is there this culvert here all along?"

"Yes, we have a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to prevent the flooding of rain caused by strange weather such as heavy rainstorms, there is generally a small water channel on the side of the house here, connecting each house together, these water channels are also connected, not only can drain but also guide the way, if the living people come in and get lost, you can go along the direction of the water flow, and you will be able to go out. After speaking, the little maid pointed in the direction of the water, "These canals in our orchid garden eventually converge into the lake, and there is only one well in the courtyard, and the water in the well is living water, and it is also connected to the lake. ”

"Then if someone wants to poison the water, wouldn't it be easy?" Boyan thought of this, feeling a tingling of the scalp, what can poison people is not necessarily food, but also air, if the water is poisoned, then boiling water will fill the air with water vapor, and the toxin can invade the body along the person's breath, which is the same effect as the whiplash wounds of the previous five corpses.

Moreover, the whiplash wounds of those five people are inseparable from Ye Zi.

If his inference is true, then all the mysteries are clear, thinking of this, Boyan turned around and knocked on Ye Zi's door, and saw that she had been wandering in front of Ye Zi's house, jumping down from the roof to see what tricks he could come up with.

But in her heart, she doesn't have much confidence in Boyan.

"Did you find anything?" He saw that he knocked on Ye Zi's door a few times, looking very anxious, "Ye Zi should have just gotten up, it will be more troublesome for girls to get dressed, you can't wait for a while?"

"I can't wait, I'm going to see her right away. Boyan shook his head, kicked open the door despite his reaction, and rushed in.

Qi He and the little maid also ran in, and the three of them made such a loud noise, Ye Zi was still lying motionless on the bed, a little weird.

Boyan approached her step by step, lifted her quilt, and the person who shrunk in the quilt was already bloodless, and the whole person was trembling, only the last breath of anger remained.

"Ye Zi!" he exclaimed, "What's wrong with you?"
