Chapter 044: Clues

After Jiu'er's incense needle, Jian Ning finally woke up faintly after an hour. The hand subconsciously touched his forehead, and until this moment he could still feel the headache before he fell unconscious.

Opening her eyes slightly, and seeing Jiu'er's worried face, Jian Ning couldn't react a little, and said, "Why am I here?" Am I not on board? How did you come back? ”

Jiu'er walked to the table and poured a glass of water for Jian Ning, slowly helped her up and put a pillow behind her, looked at Jian Ning's face and asked, "Sister, do you still feel uncomfortable now?" You were assassinated on the ship, how did you faint? ”

Assassination? Jian Ning's memory gradually returned to the cage, at that time someone wanted to kill her, but that person was killed by Xiahou Yan and Zijin, and he was splashed with blood all over his face, and then there was a sudden stinging pain in his head, and then a face full of blood seemed to flash in his mind, and he wanted to try to see clearly, but he couldn't see clearly, and then his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

"Sister, sister? What's wrong with you, why don't you speak? Jiu'er looked at Jian Ning's eyes and seemed to be in a state of dissociation. Worriedly, he shook Jian Ning's body, and kept calling Jian Ning in his mouth.

Being shaken by Jiu'er like this, Jian Ning's thoughts came back no matter how far she flew. He raised his arms and grabbed Jiu'er's hand, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, Jiu'er, I'm fine." I must have been scared at the time, but it was fine. ”

In order to reassure Jiu'er, Jian Ning also deliberately put on a big smile. He looked at the room and saw that there was no one else, so he asked, "Why don't you see Xi'er and Zijin?" ”

It stands to reason that Xi'er should definitely be by her side to take care of her at this time. As for Zijin, because she fainted at the time, I don't know what happened after that, and I can't see her now. Jian Ning was a little worried unconsciously.

"It's a shame that you're still a cook, don't you even smell how bad you smell now?" Jiu'er deliberately fanned it with her hand and said with a disgusted face.

Looking at Jian Ning, she frowned and lowered her head to smell. Jiu'er immediately smiled and said, "Knowing that you shouldn't have eaten anything, Xi'er and Brother Leshan are going to prepare food for you." Boil some water by the way. A while for you to take a good shower. ”

"Xi'er is a careful person who can take care of people, but it's a pity that sooner or later it will be cheaper for others" Jian Ning said with a regretful smile after listening to it.

When Jiu'er heard this, she immediately said: "If my sister likes it, it's a big deal to marry someone in the future and raise Xi'er as an aunt, so that I will be by my sister's side for the rest of my life." ”

It's not surprising that Jiu'er would say this, although Jiu'er is a person in the rivers and lakes, whether it is a famous family in the rivers and lakes or a high-ranking official and marquis in the officialdom. Even ordinary wealthy families, such a situation is very common.

But for Jian Ning, it was unacceptable, and immediately vetoed: "No matter what the identity of the man I want to marry, whether he is rich or poor, as long as he marries me, there can only be one me in his life, and there can never be anyone else." ”

"Sister, how could you have such an idea? Who in this world will have only one wife except the poor who cannot support his family? Even in Xiaoyao Valley, whether it is a grandfather or a father, there are several concubines. Jiu'er couldn't understand Jian Ning's thoughts at all. was also really taken aback by Jian Ning's thoughts.

Even a character like her never thought that she would be the only person she would marry in the future. If that were the case, she would be called a by the world. will also be disliked by her husband's family.

"Jiu'er, let's not argue about this issue, just stick to ourselves." Jian Ning just smiled slightly.

She grew up under the concept of monogamy, and even if she understood the laws of this era, she would not really accept this idea of seeing women as tools for fertility. And Jiu'er has been accustomed to this situation since they were children, and she will not force them to understand or accept her own concept. So as long as you stick to your own, there is no need to argue about anything.

Jiu'er heard Jian Ning say this, and stopped talking. just said silently in my heart, if it is according to my sister's thoughts. It is estimated that I will not be able to find my in-laws.

"Miss, it's good that you're awake. Outside the door, I heard you talking to Miss Nine. Xi'er walked in happily. looked Jian Ning up and down, and suddenly felt relieved.

"Hot water is ready." Jian Ning said with a smile. "Originally, I didn't think that after Jiu'er reminded me just now, now I really feel that the smell on my body is really bad."

"It's ready, if the young lady wants to bathe now, the slave will go down and let the water be carried here."

"Okay, let's get ready!" Jian Ning waved her hand and said.

Just as Xi'er was about to turn around and go out, Jian Ning immediately stopped Xi'er and said, "Just take a bath for a while, I'll come by myself." You will bring the prepared food here, and then go to see if Zijin is okay, and let her come over to eat some together. After making such a fuss, it is estimated that she didn't eat anything. ”

"Okay, slave and maid, let's go."

"I see that you are in a good mood these days, and I went to the theater today, but what is the progress of the investigation?" After Xi'er left, Jian Ning looked at Jiu'er and asked.

In order to investigate some time ago, Jiu'er obviously talked a lot less, and it was rare to see smiling faces all day long, and they often disappeared all day. Now I even have the mood to watch the play, and I obviously have some eyebrows.

"Sister, this question is just right. I had just received news yesterday afternoon that one of those herb dealers had appeared. Jiu'er's eyes flashed with a fine light.

"Do you appear in Kyoto? Where is it? "It's not that Jian Ning is sensitive, but that she feels that her luck seems to be a little too good. They had just found out the bodies of those herb dealers, but in just a few days, those herb dealers who had disappeared for more than two months actually appeared.

"Hundred Huā Building!" There was obviously a trace of deep disdain on Jiu'er's face, "If it weren't for the fact that person had a conflict with someone because of a girl yesterday, the people on my side might not have been able to find him so quickly!" ”

As soon as Jian Ning heard it, although she was a little unsure of what this Baihuā Building was for, she immediately understood when she heard Jiu'er's words. It's really hard for her to understand men, yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, shouldn't she be at home with her family, wife and children?

There are still people who go to visit the Qinglou, and they also have conflicts with people!

"Judging by the smug look you look like now, you should have found some clues from the herb merchant?" Jian Ning looked at Jiu'er's face that had been smiling all the time and asked.

Unexpectedly, Jiu'er shook his head lightly, and said with a little unwillingness: "I don't know if there is a clue or not." ”

"How so? Didn't you capture that man? Jian Ning asked suspiciously.

"It's good that the people in Xiaoyao Valley have arrested him, but unfortunately, according to his confession, he is just a hired person, and he doesn't know who bought those medicinal materials and where they went. However, he gave another clue, in addition to medicinal materials, there were also people who asked him to help recruit a large number of slaves, but he didn't know exactly what he was going for. ”

"Can't you really ask?" Jian Ning asked with a frown. The medicinal herbs were already suspicious, and they actually recruited a large number of slaves. And Jian Ning can be sure that there should be more than one person like him, but there are still some that they haven't met.

"All the methods that can be used have been used, and since he has said this, I believe he will not hide anything more. In order not to startle the snake, I have had him dealt with. Jiu'er looked at Jian Ning and shook her head.

"Killing him like this, won't the people behind him be suspicious?" Jian Ning listened to Jiu'er's last words, and immediately asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, whether it is when the confession is forced, or when he takes his life later, we are very careful, even if it is a doctor, we can't find any problems except for overindulgence and exhaustion." Jiu'er said proudly.

Jian Ning suddenly heard a black line, looked at Jiu'er a little weirdly and asked, "Jiu'er, you know this at a young age!" I really didn't know that this could also be used to cover up the cause of death? What kind of medicine are you using? ”

"I've been a doctor since I was a child, and I don't know anything, but the structure of this man is very clear." Jiu'er was obviously not embarrassed at all when he said this, "However, his death was indeed due to the reason just now." ”

"Since they are all in Baihuālou, they naturally want to find the most reasonable cause of death, and they have wasted two high-quality aphrodisiacs for him? That's unique to my Xiaoyao Valley, and all traces of incense can disappear without a trace after the effect of the medicine, and no matter how clever the doctor is, he can't find out. ”

"Can't you either?" Jian Ning asked with some disbelief, is there really such a medicine in this world?

"Nope."

"Miss water is ready, you can get ready to bathe." At this moment, Xi'er's voice came.

"Okay, got it." Jian Ning answered and got out of bed, and said to Jiu'er: "Now that you have some clues, let's continue to investigate, but don't be careful, I always feel that this matter is getting more and more difficult." ”

"Well, sister, don't worry, even if you don't say it, I'll pay attention." Jiu'er nodded and said. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Sister, I want to go back to Xiaoyao Valley tomorrow." Now that my grandfather is gone, I have been delaying the affairs of the valley for a long time, and now I must go back and deal with it. ”

"Just go, as long as we don't get it back for a day, we'll be here for a day." Jian Ning shook Jiu'er's hand and said.

"Miss, just now Shopkeeper Liu sent someone to say that Princess Leling is visiting. said that today's incident affected Miss, let's see how Miss is doing? As soon as Jian Ning walked out of the inner room, she met Xi'er, who was about to come in, with a little anxiety on her face. (To be continued)
