Chapter 35: You can't die at this time

After Lu Zhiyao went back, he saw Ling Yi walking over with a letter.

"The master's reply." Ling Yi handed the letter to Lu Zhiyao, watched Lu Zhiyao walk into the house with the letter, and waited outside the door.

As soon as Lu Zhiyao closed the door, he couldn't wait to open the letter and read it. She quickly read the letter and automatically ignored Lin Yinan's obviously flirtatious words. Sitting on the chair with the letter, Lu Zhiyao didn't understand Lin Yinan's sentence, "No matter what happens, you have to stay in the capital." What does that mean.

There were a lot of troublesome things, which made Lu Zhiyao feel that his brain seemed to be a little insufficient. Pushing open the door and calling Ling Yi in, Lu Zhiyao asked, "What about the Battle Jade Dragon Man?" Went to Nangong Mansion? ”

"Yes, Madame has something to do with him?"

"It's fine." Lu Zhiyao shook his head, raised his eyes to look at Ling Yi, and then asked, "You say, where can those vendors get together willingly and do the same thing, and still take it for granted?" ”

Ling Yi looked at Lu Zhiyao suspiciously, trying hard to give her an answer, but unfortunately, there was always a gap between reality and imagination.

"Those who go to the street to sell things are not wealthy from their families. They don't have any money, so they like cheap things. A cheap and hot breakfast, which is what everyone wants. Lu Zhiyao slowly spoke, as if muttering to himself: "Let them eat the poisoned things, and then do business as if nothing happened." Poison is chronic and does not attack immediately, and a smarter person will work on the poison and let a person eat it several times before he is poisoned. The people who eat every day are different, and it's not just small vendors who sell things. That's why now those who have been poisoned will have ordinary people appear. Ling Yi, you say, am I right? ”

Ling Yi nodded again and again, thinking along with Lu Zhiyao's words. "So the master means, you suspect that those who have died have all eaten the same family's food, so they are all poisoned?"

"It's not impossible, when they're tired during the day, it's common to take a sip of tea, so they don't take it to heart at all. Even if Ruoya went out of her way to ask them, they might not be able to think of this, let alone the relatives of those who died. It is impossible for them to know what the deceased did during the day, and if the deceased did not tell them when he returned home, they would not have told Wakaya. Do you think a person would come home after a busy day and tell his family that he had a few sips of tea today? ”

"No, all the vendors care about is how much money they've earned." Ling Yi's eyes lit up slightly, "I'll go to Ruoya now and bring her the master's words." ”

"Be careful not to let people follow, if Aya is working so hard to investigate this matter now, whether she has been targeted, none of us can tell. You, like me, are people who shouldn't be in the capital at this time, so it's always right to change your face and go again, and be careful. ”

"I understand, don't worry, master."

Ling Yi exited the room and immediately went to do what Lu Zhiyao had explained. Lu Zhiyao lay on the table and looked at the teacups on the table. She didn't think that the owner of the tea stall had done it, and maybe by this time, he was already dead after being used. The matter stopped at this step, and how to investigate it was a headache for Lu Zhiyao.

Ling Yi brought Lu Zhiyao's words to her, and Lan Ruoyan had a flash of inspiration in her mind after hearing it, and hurriedly set out to investigate the matter. It took a lot of effort to find out who was selling breakfast and setting up tea stalls on the street, but if she continued to investigate, Lan Ruoya's heart suddenly turned cold.

As Lu Zhiyao expected, two died and two were poisoned.

Lu Zhiyao was woken up by Lan Ruoya from the bed in a daze, looking at Lan Ruoya with one eye open and one eye closed, Lu Zhiyao shook his head, trying to sober himself up.

"When is it, you're still running here." Lu Zhiyao got out of bed and sat down at the table with his clothes on. Sweeping away Lan Ruoya, who was silent with a little guilt, Lu Zhiyao asked her with a smile, "I can't check it halfway, is it particularly unwilling?" ”

Lan Ruoya saw that Lu Zhiyao had already guessed the purpose of her coming, so she didn't hide it. She let out a "hmm", lowered her head and sat down beside Lu Zhiyao, and after a while, she asked, "Is there any other good way for the master?" ”

"Yes. I can tell you that, but you have to promise me a good night's sleep, or I won't say it. ”

Lan Ruoyan opened her mouth again and again, staring at Lu Zhiyao, she bit the corner of her lip and said in a muffled voice: "Wake up the master, I hope the master will not be angry." ”

"If I had been angry, I would not have said these things to you. Stay here today, and I'll tell you what to do tomorrow morning. ”

Lu Zhiyao smiled lightly, watching Lan Ruoya push the door and leave, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. The facial features were wrinkled together, Lu Zhiyao crawled back to the bed with a sad face, rolled into the bed wrapped in the quilt, and hit the wall and stopped.

She was obviously lying on the bed thinking of a way to fall asleep unconsciously, and now that the big words have been spoken, how will she face Lan Ruoya's expectant face tomorrow morning?

Lu Zhiyao banged his head against the wall all of a sudden, hoping that at this time, Lin Yinan would appear beside him.

Lu Zhiyao tossed and turned on the bed, suddenly sat up suddenly, and then a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he lay back with a smile, covering the quilt and planning to sleep again.

As soon as he slept until dawn, Lu Zhiyao opened the door and saw Lan Ruoyan who was already standing in the courtyard.

"Go and inquire about the news in the palace first, you saved the prime minister's life before, and now it's time for him to repay the favor." Lu Zhiyao motioned for Lan Ruoya to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked Lu Yuanzheng what the emperor meant. Lu Yuanzheng will not be ignorant of this matter, with Lu Zhiyao's understanding of Lu Yuanzheng, she thinks he will also let the emperor know. "Find a way to contact the imperial doctor sent by the emperor, so many people are poisoned, and the poison needed is definitely not something that can be done in a small amount. Ask the Imperial Doctor, what kind of poison is among those people, what is the poison made of, and then go to every pharmacy in the capital and ask them about the recent sales of those medicinal materials. There will always be some clues, and this matter is not in a hurry. ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Lan Ruoyan came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and explained her intention to Lu Yuanzheng. Lu Yuanzheng didn't hide anything, and told Lan Ruoya everything he knew. When Lan Ruoya heard him say that the emperor asked Ruan Chen to do this, she was also a lot more relieved.

Ruan Chen is the emperor's special imperial doctor, and the last time he helped Lu Zhiyao deal with the Ye family and Su Changfei, that is, him.

Lan Ruoyan asked where Ruan Chen was now, and hurriedly rushed over. At this time, Ruan Chen was working with the yamen, examining the corpse that had been dead for several days.

They were looking at a beggar, whose body was left here because he had no relatives. Ruan Chen knew Lan Ruoya, and when he saw Lan Ruoyan coming over, he nodded at her.

"What eyebrows does Imperial Doctor Ruan have?" Lan Ruoyan asked straight to the point.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to see the poisoned people, together?"

"Okay." Lan Ruoya wished she could go with Ruan Chen, followed Ruan Chen step by inch, watched Ruan Chen take the pulse, then administered the needle, and then gave herself a gloomy look, Lan Ruoya walked into the courtyard, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This poison is not easy to solve." Ruan Chen looked at Lan Ruoyan with a solemn expression and said, "I have seen the corpse of the deceased, and I have also learned about the situation of the person who has not died." The poison is very toxic, and although people will not die immediately after taking it, if there is no antidote, there is no chance that they will survive by chance. I'll do my best to find out what kind of poison it is, but I need time, and it's not short. So Miss Lan, I still have to thank you, find out the murderer as soon as possible, maybe you can save their lives faster than us. ”

Ruan Chen's words made Lan Ruoya feel pressure, and thought that if he went out, these people would be saved, but listening to Ruan Chen's words, it seemed that he was not completely sure.

"The person who can make this kind of poison that gives Imperial Doctor Ruan a headache is definitely not an ordinary person. It seems that there are masters in this capital now. Lan Ruoyan sighed thoughtfully and sighed. Obviously feeling that things were getting more and more difficult to investigate, Lan Ruoya said some words to Ruan Chen, sent Ruan Chen back to the palace, and returned to the yamen alone to get busy.

Lu Zhiyao listened to the news that Lan Ruoya brought back, and was silent for a long time. Just like Lan Ruoya said, such a person who can use poison will not be simple. And it is impossible for such a simple person to harm those people for no reason. This poison can kill ordinary people, and naturally it can kill the emperor. In case the villains sneak into the palace, when something really happens to the emperor, it will be ten days and half a month later. At that time, the murderer had already fled, and it was possible to ride a fast horse out of the country of Charlai.

"Find a way to tell Imperial Doctor Ruan that you must pay careful attention to everything around the emperor, and he must check everything he eats, and only after making sure that there is no problem at all can he let the emperor eat. I don't want to wait for Lin Yinan to come back, and the master of this Xia Lai Kingdom will become Lin Yichen. Lu Zhiyao leaned back in his chair and said to Ling Yi in a low voice: "If something happens to the emperor now, we will probably all have to be buried with us." The prince can't let us go, so we have to save ourselves. ”

Lu Zhiyao's words made Ling Yi's back cold, he never thought that such a thing would happen when he escorted her back this time.

"I still have something to do, and I must not die at this time." Lu Zhiyao whispered, and slowly opened his eyes to look at Ling Yi, "So this time, it seems that we can't do anything about watching the excitement." ”

Lu Zhiyao stood up, walked in front of Ling Yi, tilted his head to look at him, and asked, "You have been with your master for so long, has he ever been assassinated?" ”

"A lot." Ling Yi replied softly to Lu Yao's question, "There will be every year, and the master is used to it." ”

"I said I was married to the wrong person, and he didn't admit it." Lu Zhiyao sighed heavily and waved his hand to let Ling Yi leave. "When he comes back this time, I have to ask him to repay me."
