103 Poison masters
Aunt Nine didn't seem to hear what the old lady was saying at all, and broke free from the crowd like crazy, completely like two people in the past!
Li Xiaoran stood up and said sharply: "Aunt Nine pretended to be crazy and stupid, what about you?" If there is half a lie, no one will try to escape! β
The girls around Aunt Nine were so frightened that they kowtowed on the ground again and again.
The old lady said coldly: "They must know something, they will all drag it out, each hit a hundred boards, and when they admit it, they will talk about it!" β
The girls were trembling with fright, and the guards outside had already come up to pull people, and the house suddenly burst into a chorus of confessions! At this time, a pale, petite girl suddenly kowtowed loudly and begged for mercy: "The slave has confessed!" The old lady spared her life, the old man spared her life, it was Aunt Jiu who told the slave to do this, the slave and the maid really didn't dare not listen, if the slave didn't do what she told her, she would definitely drive the slave out! β
Li Xiaoran waved her hand, and as soon as the guards let go, the other girls looked at her in disbelief.
The old lady looked at her and said, "What did she tell you to do!" β
The girl's face turned pale and said, "Aunt Jiu...... Aunt Nine took the opportunity of incense to take the gold collar to the gold shop outside, melted the gold, and added some medicine to it, and the slave didn't know what she added! The slave maid never thought that her aunt was actually trying to murder the fourth young master! At that time, she just said that the gold collar was so valuable, and she would not be found if she deducted a little gold, and she also said that as long as the slave maid did what she instructed, she would carry the slave maid to be a second-class girl! β
When Tan Shi heard this, she was so angry that she was stunned, and her heart was chilled, as if she had fallen into a bottomless black abyss, she always thought that Aunt Nine would only do wrong things if she was provoked by others, who knew that she was bent on murdering her son!
Jiang Yuelan showed an expression of disbelief and said, "Aunt Jiu, you know that Minzhi is being raised in my house, and I can't escape punishment for you if something happens to him!" You are clearly -" She said as she looked at Li Xiaoran with tears in her eyes.
Li Weiyang kept looking at Aunt Jiu, her face was cloudy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Aunt Nine was still struggling desperately, shouting, "You hurt me! You're all hurting me! You colluded to harm me! β
Except for Aunt Jiu's scream, no one dared to speak, the atmosphere in the room was almost suffocating, Li Xiaoran narrowed his eyes slightly, he really couldn't imagine that Aunt Nine would do such a thing!
The fourth aunt glanced at Li Xiaoran and sighed: "Master, this girl's words are not credible, you still have to inquire carefully, don't wronged Aunt Jiu!" β
The old lady was eager to execute Aunt Nine in public, and when she heard this, she sneered and said, "Weiyang, what do you say?!" β
Li Weiyang had already felt that this matter was a mess, not to mention that she had a lot of things to investigate by herself, so now she just said: "But the matter is up to the old lady and father, Weiyang doesn't dare to say anything." β
The old lady nodded and said, "The human and material evidence are all there, boss, what should you do!" β
It should be said that Li Xiaoran has feelings for Aunt Jiu, but this kind of thing can never be forgiven for harming the heirs of the Li family, he glanced at Aunt Jiu and said: "I have always pampered you like this, what are you not satisfied with, even a child as young as Minzhi will not be spared!" His voice became colder and colder, "Since that's the case, I can't be merciful, otherwise it will break the rules of the Li family!" From today onwards, lock up Aunt Nine alone and don't allow her to come in or out. As for this girl, she was locked up in the firewood room first, and when she found the shopkeeper of the gold shop, let them confront her, and if it was true, she would be killed directly! β
The girl was crying and being dragged down, Li Weiyang looked at this scene, and felt more and more that there was something strange about this matter.
Jiang Yuelan sighed: "I really didn't expect that such a weak person as Aunt Nine would actually do such a thing!" Fortunately, I found it early, if not, it would really cost Min Yi's life! With that, she knelt down and said to Li Xiaoran, "Master, I didn't take good care of the fourth young master, no matter how you punish me, I won't complain." β
Li Xiaoran glanced at the old lady, and helped her up, Jiang Yuelan was in tears, but she refused to get up, the old lady said: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you, get up." β
Jiang Yuelan stood up at this time and said with tears in her eyes: "Then I'll take Minzhi back now and take good care of it." β
The old lady frowned, and watched Jiang Yuelan walk over, and picked up Min Zhi in Tan's eyes, and just took two steps, Min Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and cried.
"Look, look! What else can you do! I can't even take care of a child! The old lady said angrily.
Jiang Yuelan really felt wronged, how would she know that this child woke up so easily!
Tan Shi hurriedly took the child over, Min Zhi stopped crying all of a sudden, and immediately approached his mother's arms, his eyes were shining, and the howling and crying just now seemed to have never existed, and his little hand waved and scratched, obviously excited.
In the end, there is still a way for her mother, the old lady is relieved, but she is distressed: "Less than ten days after arriving at Furui Courtyard, look at this child, his spirit is gone, how can he get it like this!" β
Li Weiyang glanced at his little brother, except for the red spots on his arms, he was still white and fat, and his crying was full of anger, but he didn't see any signs of mental damage.
Jiang Yuelan didn't want to let go of allergies so lightly, so she immediately said, "It's better to give it to me to try!" Maybe I was moving heavily just now, but I'm just lighter! As he spoke, he took Minzhi from Tan's hand, but as soon as it reached her hand, Minzhi's tears flowed down like a faucet that had opened the floodgates, and he returned to the previous situation of crying and grabbing the earth.
At this moment, the suspicious eyes of a room of people fell on Jiang Yuelan, and Li Xiaoran frowned: "Why does the child cry when he touches you?" β
Jiang Yuelan thought to herself, didn't the old lady have always been in a rut, but she didn't dare to say this in public, but said with a wry smile: "In the end, it's still with Aunt Seven!" The heartbroken look made Li Xiaoran feel a little heavier.
"Aunt Seven, let's hold it." Li Xiaoran said slowly.
It's strange to say, as soon as Tan took Min Zhi over, he immediately turned from howling and crying to sobbing and choking, and after a while, he couldn't even sob, he lay in Tan's arms with a smile, sniffing around her vigorously, Tan touched Minzhi's little face with his fingers, Minzhi immediately burst into tears and laughed, and actually reached out and grabbed Tan's fingers and licked them.
"Mother, the fourth brother is young and ignorant, children, they always have to cry for a while, just get used to it later!" Li Changle covered his face that had just been drugged and said softly.
The old lady frowned, as if she was thinking something.
Jiang Yuelan listened to Li Changle's words, and immediately said: "Yes, I'll take it back first, it's really not okay to let Aunt Seventh go to live with me for two days, and wait until Minzhi gets used to it." As she spoke, she glanced at the nurse who came over, and the nurse immediately understood and went up to hug Minzhi.
Li Weiyang looked at it coldly, and a sneer crossed his lips.
Who knew that before the nurse touched Minzhi, the kid cried loudly, refusing to leave Tan's arms, crying and avoiding the nurse's hand, his black eyes were clear like a crystal ball, reflecting the flawless light, blocking the dirt of the world, he always laughed on weekdays, but at this moment he tried to lean in the direction of Tan's with tears in his eyes, a reluctant look, which made the old lady feel distressed.
"Yuelan, look...... This child is only willing to stay with his own mother, and you will have your own children in the future, I think, let the seventh aunt take it back. The old lady was a little hesitant.
Li Xiaoran nodded, and finally felt sorry for his son: "Yes, Yuelan, you are too young, you still can't take care of the child, let Minzhi stay with Aunt Seven." β
Li Weiyang looked at Jiang Yuelan with a hint of mockery in his smile.
Jiang Yuelan's smile was a little stiff, but she quickly returned to normal, with a little tear in her eyes, and looked at Minzhi.
Li Changle couldn't help but clench his fists, and said with a smile on his face: "It's still the old lady's kindness, it's really a great blessing for the fourth brother to have you so much." But wouldn't it be a pity for my mother to give up after putting so much effort into it? Please give her another chance to my father and old lady! There is always a transition period for children, and it will be fine in a few days! β
Li Xiaoran frowned, reluctant to see his beloved wife's sad look, and said, "Why don't you try again?" β
Jiang Yuelan nodded hurriedly, and immediately went up to hug the allergic one, and said, "I will definitely do my best." β
Li Weiyang looked at it coldly and didn't make a sound, the seventh aunt was reluctant, but she remembered her daughter's instructions, so she had to leave Minzhi behind and stand aside.
However, Jiang Yuelan's last attempt was a failure after all, and two days later, she personally held the child and sent it to Aunt Seven, and said with emotion: "It's still good to be born, in my place, crying from morning to night, it makes people really distressed." β
Li Weiyang looked at Jiang Yuelan's dark eyes and pale face with a calm face, and said in his heart It's not that you feel sorry for Minzhi, it's that the father is willing to go to the fourth aunt to rest and not go to Furui Courtyard because of the child's noise, not to mention your favor, people outside are still rumoring that the new lady didn't go to visit the fourth young master in the middle of the night, but secretly pricked the fourth young master's small feet with a needle, so when the child saw the new lady, he cried even more, once this vicious rumor spread, all the efforts made by Jiang Yuelan before came to naught, Li Xiaoran hinted again and again that she should be generous to her concubine, Jiang Yuelan couldn't say what she was suffering, and after thinking about it, she had no choice but to send the child back. confirmed what Li Weiyang said, and within ten days, Li Minzhi returned to his biological mother.
When Jiang Yuelan left, she looked at Minzhi with a smile on her face, and she was strange and confused in her heart, and she was unwilling to do 120,000 points, but the matter had come to this, and she really had no choice. As soon as she left, everyone relaxed.
Minzhi's dark and bright eyes stared at Tan's eyes, and then stretched out a small hand that was as fat as a lotus root, grinned toothlessly, and smiled. Tan's face was full of tears, he couldn't hold back it anymore, he rushed over, snatched the child from the girl's hand, hugged it tightly in his arms, and kissed the child's little face, little hands, neck, and hair like crazy, crying and laughing.
Li Weiyang felt that this scene was indescribably warm, so he asked softly, "Has the poison of the fourth young master been cured?" β
Bai Zhi whispered: "The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, and the small rashes on the fourth young master's body have disappeared." β
Li Weiyang nodded, and his eyes moved to the smiling Minzhi again.
Tan Shi was afraid of dragging his daughter down before, and had been desperately suppressing his reluctance to the child, but now that the baby is back to him, he can't help but cling to his tender little face, feeling the touch of the little hand, listening to his babbling delicate voice, her heart trembles in happiness and sweetness for a while. Finally, large tears rolled down and landed on Toshiyuki's small face. When she reacted and saw a room full of people looking at her, she realized that she had lost her temper, and reluctantly put Minzhi in the cradle, and said with a smile: "Weiyang, you are really right, but how did you do it?" β
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Everyone else should go out." β
When the girls heard this, they quietly retreated.
Li Weiyang walked to the edge of the cradle, teasing Minzhi with a rattle, Minzhi happily came up and wanted to take a bite, Li Weiyang gently moved the rattle, and said slowly: "Minzhi likes maltose since he was a child, but he can't eat it when he is young, so every time I will tell the girl to wipe a little on the spoon or the nurse to wipe a little on the body, so that he can lick and satisfy his hunger. While speaking, Minzhi shook his head and laughed again, Li Weiyang pinched his chubby face, and continued, "Later, Jiang Yuelan had to carry the child away, and this benefit was naturally gone. β
Tan couldn't believe it: "It's that simple? β
Li Weiyang smiled: "How complicated can it be?" "Well, she really didn't finish it all, Minzhi, who lacks maltose, likes to cry, and no one will stop crying, and that day Tan's hand was smeared with maltose according to Li Weiyang's instructions, so Minzhi immediately smiled when he smelled this smell. Of course, it's not enough to just do this, Minzhi's child is just a little stupid, and he smiles when he sees everyone, even if Jiang Yuelan hugs him, so Li Weiyang has been preparing since Jiang Yuelan got married on the first day, beware of this day coming.
Because Jiang Yuelan likes to use agarwood incense, the fragrance is long and elegant, so every time the nurse feeds Minzhi, halfway through the feeding, Li Weiyang ordered Bai Zhi to smoke the agarwood incense and walk to Minzhi's side, and then told the nurse to stop feeding, and over time, Minzhi began to mistakenly think that as long as there was a person with this taste, he began to drink without milk. Many habits are difficult to change once they are formed, as a baby, just like a puppy protecting food, it is natural to have a strong sense of hatred for people who smoke agarwood incense, no matter how careful Jiang Yuelan is, she can't change the habits that Li Weiyang has developed for her children for a long time, so on the second day of the wedding, Jiang Yuelan still smiled when she hugged Minzhi, and when he touched him later, he cried.
Of course, Li Weiyang will not tell this secret to the Tan family, because as a mother, she will definitely be very distressed, but for Li Weiyang, Minzhi's little baby just has to learn a little lesson, otherwise everyone who sees it will be a mother, so stupid and stupid will definitely be unacceptable, not to mention, no matter what means are used, let the child return to his mother's side.
Toshiyuki's big black eyes looked at his black-bellied sister, completely unaware that he had been sold, and he was very happy with a smile to himself.
"However, if Toshiyuki escapes this time, what will he do in the future? You can't still cry after you are three or four years old, right? Tan was a little worried.
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Later? Jiang Yuelan will soon have her own child, even if she doesn't, I will make her not in the mood to fight Minzhi's idea. β
Now what we have to think about is not the future, but what happened two days ago, thinking that someone actually used Minzhi to fight dissidents, Li Weiyang was angry. She stared at Toshiyuki's fat arm, which was already intact, and wondered what to do next.
To see the truth of a matter, it is often not about looking at the surface, but about who will benefit from it. Aunt Nine is unlucky, of course, the most profitable is Jiang Yuelan, but Jiang Yuelan is not such a short-sighted person, she will not do this, the person who is suspicious is either the fourth aunt or Li Changle. It's a pity that Li Weiyang once arranged for someone to investigate the shop where the old lady built the gold collar at the beginning, and the shopkeeper had already changed, and the shopkeeper of Aunt Jiu's gold-melting shop pΓΉ, the shopkeeper died of inexplicable illness, this matter is becoming more and more confusing, if it is said that it is done by the woman in the house, can it really drive the shopkeeper in such a luxurious gold shop? Apparently it's not that simple.
Thinking of this, Li Weiyang turned around and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." β
Tan Shi looked at her daughter in surprise, not knowing what was going on with her now, but she knew very well that she couldn't persuade her, so she smiled and said, "It's cold outside, I'll prepare a hand stove for you." β
Li Weiyang shook his head and said, "It's out of the way." As soon as she went out, a cold wind blew, she couldn't help but shiver, and Bai Zhi, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly dressed her in a big fashion, and said, "Miss, are you going back?" β
Li Weiyang shook his head and said in a low voice, "Let's go, go see Aunt Nine." β
Bai Zhi and Zhao Yue were stunned at the same time, and Bai Zhi said in a low voice: "Miss, Aunt Nine is locked up in her own yard, and the master said-"
"My father didn't say that I couldn't even ask if I wanted to." Li Weiyang Shi Ran said.
Bai Zhi said: "But the weather is so cold. β
Li Weiyang didn't care much: "It's okay, let's go." β
Zhao Yue had been very silent, and when she heard this, she nodded and said, "Yes." β
There were almost no people on the way, probably in this kind of snowy weather, no one wanted to go out. Li Weiyang subconsciously pulled the big chic and walked into the courtyard of Aunt Jiu, but he couldn't see the guards, and suddenly saw a strange human figure moving in the snow not far away.
Li Weiyang suddenly paused.
The man's hair was very unkempt, his legs and feet seemed to be very inconvenient, his knees were very stiff, and his walking posture was also crooked. She was getting closer and closer to Li Weiyang, and she could vaguely see that she was wearing single clothes...... In such weather, how can there be people dressed so thinly here! The next moment, Li Weiyang saw it clearly. The person in front of me is none other than Aunt Jiu! He was not wearing a summer shirt, but a shirt he wore when he slept, so it was white.
Li Weiyang frowned, how could Aunt Nine run outside the house alone?! Didn't the old lady order her to send more men to keep a strict watch over her...... How can it be possible to run around outside without anyone careging? In this weather, what is she running again?!
Zhao Yue's hand involuntarily touched the soft sword at her waist, and she looked at Aunt Nine warily.
Aunt Nine had already discovered them, and suddenly stared at Li Weiyang, clapping her hands and laughing.
Li Weiyang listened to her voice, the tone was already very abnormal, and his heart sank, and he couldn't help but look at her face, and saw that her eyes were extremely empty, as if she was Li Changxi in the past!
"Hahaha, it's you!" Aunt Nine stretched out her snow-white fingers, which were always so beautiful that they had never been stained with even a trace of dust, but now they were covered with mud, dirt, and blood.
"I know you! You're that amazing third lady! Oh no! It's Li Weiyang! That broom star! β
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows, Aunt Jiu's appearance, is she really crazy?
Zhao Yue wanted to stop Aunt Jiu from approaching, but Li Weiyang shook her head, Zhao Yue took a step back, and Aunt Jiu approached Li Weiyang with a strange smile, the strange light in her eyes was even stronger, and she said to her in the tone of telling secrets between children: "Hey, aren't you very powerful?!" You save me, save me, I really didn't hurt anyone! I didn't hurt anyone! They're hurting me! They joined forces to harm me! I just thought it was beautiful so I lent it back to Jing'er, it really didn't hurt anyone! β
Bai Zhi saw that Aunt Nine was crazy, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble: "Miss, let's go back, Aunt Nine is crazy!" β
The words of the madman may not be credible, but Li Weiyang intuitively felt that what Aunt Nine said was true.
She frowned, and suddenly raised her voice, "What about the people in this courtyard?" Where are they all dead! β
The sound was not loud in the wind and snow, but seven or eight people came out of the yard at once, four mothers and several girls, all with panicked expressions on their faces.
Li Weiyang said sharply: "Let you look at Aunt Jiu, what are you all doing?!" β
The four mothers hurriedly knelt down to confess, they saw that the weather was cold, so they did not guard the door, but sneaked in to pour yellow soup and play cards, just now found that Li Weiyang was coming, they did not dare to come out, for fear of being punished, who knows that they still can't escape.
A mother whispered: "The county lord forgives me, the weather is too cold, and the hands of the slaves and maids are all green, I thought that Aunt Nine would be crazy and would not run out, so I just-"
Li Weiyang looked at them coldly: "Don't hurry up and help my aunt in!" β
Hey, didn't Aunt Nine hurt the Fourth Young Master, the Fourth Young Master is the younger brother of the county lord, why is she still so good to Aunt Nine? The four mothers glanced at each other, did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly commanded people to go up to arrest Aunt Jiu, but the power of the madman was greater than that of ordinary people, Aunt Jiu laughed again, her voice was sharp, she broke free from everyone and fell crookedly and ran into the distance, everyone hurriedly pounced and grabbed it, and finally pressed the person into the snow, Aunt Nine was barefoot, and the whole person was convulsed violently as if she was sick.
Li Weiyang watched from afar, with an ominous premonition in her heart, and she said in a low voice: "Tell your eldest brother to look at Aunt Nine." β
"Yes." Zhao Yue said in a low voice.
Li Weiyang's premonition was correct, and Aunt Nine was found dead in her house a day later.
"The doctor said that Aunt Nine committed suicide by swallowing gold." Li Weiyang said slowly.
Zhao Nan shook his head: "No, the minion has been guarding outside, if she swallows gold and commits suicide, the minion will not be invisible." β
Li Weiyang sighed and said, "Of course she didn't commit suicide, she was murdered." β
"Miss, when the girl sent the food in that night, Aunt Nine was still fine, I also tried the meal with a silver needle, it was not poisonous, but it was only three hours after eating, Aunt Nine ran out of gas, at first I suspected that she was poisoned, so I checked all the furnishings in the house, but I couldn't find out where the poison was, and then I checked Aunt Jiu's body again, and found that she seemed to be dreaming, and her expression was painless."
"So, the person who killed her must have used poison that you can't detect, or started from a place we didn't expect."
Li Weiyang has lived in the palace and knows that many poisons cannot be detected, and most of the poisons that can be detected are arsenic, so it is not surprising that Zhao Nan can't find the cause of Aunt Jiu's death.
"In this way, our clues are broken." Zhao Nan couldn't help frowning, in his opinion, the things in this mansion were twisted and turned, and the whole head was big, and the good people could still be gone under his nose, he really couldn't figure it out, he was willing to go to the battlefield to fight, and it was much better than being afraid of not knowing where to release a cold arrow.
"Don't you think it's strange that Aunt Nine is crazy?" Li Weiyang said.
Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Originally, it was fine, but when I came out of the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, it seemed that I didn't know anyone." β
Li Weiyang nodded: "Li Changxi is scaring me crazy, so how did Aunt Nine go crazy?" β
"Perhaps...... It's because she's sinned too much that she's afraid of punishmentβ" Bai Zhi said tentatively.
Li Weiyang shook his head: "If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it, where is it so easy to go crazy." β
Bai Zhi stopped talking, and she also felt that Aunt Jiu's sudden madness was very problematic, and she should have been manipulated.
Only Mo Zhu sighed and said, "It's a pity that Miss Six, she didn't have a mother long after she was born." β
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "This is actually a good thing for her, although Aunt Jiu is beautiful and smart, she didn't grow up in this kind of mansion, and she is easy to be instigated by others, there is such a mother, the sixth sister is only afraid that she will be affected a lot, and now that she is dead, Jiang Yuelan wants to establish the name of a virtuous housewife in front of everyone, of course she will treat her well." β
Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Miss is right. β
Mo Zhu didn't think so: "Who knows what the new lady's heart is, what if she also does something to Miss Six?" β
Li Weiyang smiled: "Silly girl, why should she do it to the sixth sister." The sixth sister is just a concubine's daughter, and the most she will do in the future is to give her a little dowry, and she can also use her to fight for the interests of the family, of course, she must be well educated and gain a good reputation for Jiang Yuelan. But Toshiyuki is different......"
The suppression of concubines is to protect the family wealth for their sons-in-law. After all, if the family is separated in the future, the concubine will have more or less a share, and if the family is not separated, then the public middle school will have to pay for the concubine to support the family. Once you meet the narrow-minded and scheming and unfavored main room, of course, you will see wealth as the same as the flesh on your body, and you can't wait for this concubine to have zΓ i at all. Second, it is to keep the status of the sister-in-law in the family. Among the officials of the Great Calendar Dynasty, there are more concubines than concubines, and once the sons of concubines are developed, not only will they share the favor of their sons, but the concubines of the mothers may also add to the blockage of their mothers. Just like today's Cangzhou prefect Liu Fang, who was born as a concubine, raised under the knees of his mother Liu since he was a child, and after returning from the outside, he saw that his mother Li was gray-haired and had to set rules in front of his mother, and he couldn't bear it, so he specially invited His Majesty to take his own mother to Cangzhou to enjoy happiness, and the emperor saw that Liu Fang's years of hard work were accurate, but as soon as the news spread, his mother Liu felt that her son was extremely unruly, and she was so angry that she ordered someone to strangle Li, so her mother raised her concubine while being on guard in her heart. This is also human nature. It should be said that this is the fundamental reason why Li Weiyang doesn't want Minzhi to stay with Jiang Yuelan, if the other party has no children in her life, she may still treat Minzhi well, but what if she has her own son? There are many more problems.
Li Weiyang thought so, looked at the branches that were blown crooked by the wind outside the window, and said, "This is the last snow of the year." β
Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu looked at each other, not knowing why Li Weiyang suddenly mentioned this.
has the same idea as Li Weiyang, as well as Li Xiaoran, he thinks that Aunt Jiu is crazy too strange, and he is suspected of being poisoned. Thinking about it this way, she died suddenly, maybe someone was murdered. At first, he really wanted to find out, but unfortunately the shopkeeper died, the witness was gone, and the only clue was on the girl next to Aunt Jiu, who could be said to be the only breakthrough. However, no matter how you ask, this girl has one meaning over and over again, it is Aunt Jiu who poisoned the fourth young master, and she doesn't know anything else, Li Xiaoran privately sent someone to use a big punishment, but this girl still hasn't changed her mind.
"Both hard and soft have no effect, either this girl is telling the truth, or she thinks she is telling the truth." Li Weiyang said to Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue didn't understand and said, "Is there any difference between this?" β
Li Weiyang smiled: "The difference is that one is that she did see Aunt Nine poisoned, and the other is that others made her mistakenly think that Aunt Nine was poisoned." β
Zhao Yue suddenly understood: "In this way, is there still a way to investigate?" β
Li Weiyang said coldly: "Since there is a first time, it is inevitable that there will be a second time, as long as we pretend to know nothing for the time being, the other party will continue to act." β
Zhao Yue nodded and said, "The slave must take a good look at the fourth young master." β
At this moment, Zhao Nan walked in quickly, knelt down and said, "Miss, the slave has already found out all the diet of Aunt Nine in the past according to your instructions. As he spoke, he handed over a stack of papers.
Li Weiyang looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't see what was famous, she said in a low voice: "There is no food on it, what is going on?" After a long time, she frowned and said, "You go and find another doctor." β
Zhao Nan replied and disappeared quickly. Li Weiyang looked at his back and fell silent for a long time.
An hour later, Zhao Nan arrived with an old doctor with a white beard, Li Weiyang glanced at him, and he immediately said: "The servant told the porter that the girl in the young lady's yard was sick, so he didn't invite the doctor of the Li family." β
Li Weiyang nodded and said, "Please help me take a look, what's wrong with this diet?" Or is there any harm in eating too much? β
The old doctor trembled, obviously not knowing what was going on, but when he saw the luxurious furnishings of this room and Li Weiyang's dress, he understood in his heart, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Weiyang, but just took the stack of papers and looked through them one by one.
On these papers, it is recorded that Aunt Nine has three meals a day in a month.
The old doctor looked at it again and again, pointed to a dish that must be included in every meal, and said, "This steamed tapioca cakeβ"
Li Weiyang said: "Cassava is a specialty of Aunt Jiu's hometown, she loves to eat it very much, and her father has always doted on her, so she specially transported it from her hometown by horse, except that she didn't touch it during pregnancy, and it wasn't a day or two after eating, what, is there anything wrong with this?" β
The old doctor's face was a little hesitant: "The roots, stems, and leaves of cassava are poisonous, and the fresh roots are the most toxic. Therefore, the average person does not like to eat this thing. β
Li Weiyang frowned, then stretched out, and said, "It's not going to happen, it's not even bad to do this in the kitchen." β
The old doctor didn't dare to say more, and pointed to another dish and said, "This golden needle fungus...... Well...... Enoki contains a kind of colchicum, and if people accidentally eat too much, it is easy to produce another toxin, which can poison people's stomach. However, ordinary people can digest it by themselves, but those who are weak must eat less......"
Frailty? Aunt Jiu has only given birth to a child for a few months, and her body is naturally not strong, but the golden needle vegetable is often used as a side dish, but Li Weiyang has never heard of it being poisonous, so he naturally showed a look of disbelief on his face.
The old doctor explained: "The old man has personally seen patients with gastrointestinal bleeding who could not have normal bowel movements for seven days and seven nights after taking this, and finally suffocated to death......
Bai Zhi's face showed a look of disgust, this old doctor, what is suffocating in front of the young lady - what a rude!
Li Weiyang shook his head, none of this can explain Aunt Jiu's death, it can't be said that she was poisoned by cassava or goldenrod, this is too incredible, everyone eats this thing, I have never seen anyone really die, what the old doctor said is a special case, and it can only happen under a certain environment, no, wait, what if someone deliberately did not cook cassava, or deliberately let Aunt Jiu take a large amount of goldenrod when her spleen and stomach are weak?
The old doctor was still saying: "Miss, you are young, naturally you have never seen this, the old man also did the court's work when he was young, and he has seen people kill people in all kinds of strange ways!" Take this potato roast meat dish as an example, the outer skin of the buds, flowers, leaves and roots of the potatoes contains high toxins, especially the toxins in the young shoots are even dozens to hundreds of times higher than the meat parts. Unripe green potatoes or black spots due to improper storage contain extremely high toxicity, as long as they are used well, it is very simple to kill people, of course, if you want to grasp it properly, it is not possible to do it well overnight, it needs to go through repeated trials, and you need to be able to contact the diet of the deceased......"
Li Weiyang had already understood, she waved her hand, and Bai Zhi immediately stuffed a silver bag into the old doctor's hand, and the old doctor was taken aback: "This ...... I didn't see a doctor, so I didn't need so much money......"
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Thank you for solving my doubts." β
The old doctor was flattered, and what else did he have to say, so he was invited out by Zhao Nan.
Bai Zhi said softly: "This old man is too alarmist, we all eat these things often, and we haven't seen anyone die!" β
Li Weiyang shook his head: "Yes, if you want to apply it properly, you have to be clear about Aunt Jiu's physical condition, and take the opportunity to use these things to kill her. β
"Miss is sayingβ" Zhao Yue was surprised.
A chill flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes: "Unknowingly putting people to death, I really want to know, how could such a person come to the Li family!" β
An annex in Kyoto
Zhou Tianshou entered the door tremblingly and saluted a young man in a fancy costume standing in the hall, but the young man turned around, but he looked smiling: "Why should the Taoist be polite?" β
Zhou Tianshou originally lived in seclusion in the mountains, but a month ago he was inexplicably invited here, met this young man in Chinese clothes, he arranged this residence for him, Zhou Tianshou has been penance, and has never received this kind of courtesy, for a while I couldn't help but look at the courtyard one by one, what rosewood tables, chairs and beds, four screens painted with gold, palace embroidered tassels, Hangzhou satin brocade quilt. When eating, the table is full of mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, fungus, ripe chestnuts, ginkgo vegetables, cauliflower, these seemingly very simple vegetarian dishes, but he understands that it is not difficult to want big fish and meat in this season, and if you want to eat these fresh vegetables, it is more rare than abalone ginseng wings, so that he is completely dazzled, and he can't believe that he will go so lucky. It's just that he has been worried all the time, and he doesn't know what the other party wants him to do.
And now, this young man appeared for the second time, and Zhou Tianshou knew that he was going to tell himself to do things for him.
"I asked the Taoist to come because I wanted to ask the Taoist to leave this place." The boy said with a smile on his face.
Zhou Tianshou was taken aback, where could he give up the good life here, his face suddenly showed reluctance, but before he could speak, the young man had already said: "Don't misunderstand, Dao Chief, I don't mean anything else, someone is about to invite Dao Chang into the palace." β
"Enter the palace?!" Zhou Tianshou was even more surprised: "Please me?" β
The boy smiled, "Exactly. β
Zhou Tianshou felt very strange, and couldn't help but take a closer look at the young man's appearance again, only to feel that his appearance was handsome and abnormal, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like autumn water, and he was all beautiful from his nose to his lips, but the most important thing was that he was born with a ...... Zhou Tianshou secretly speculated about the identity of this young man, he was proficient in the art of face-to-face and good, but many things ...... It's all something you can see but can't say.
"The Taoist chief will return to his original residence, and in three days, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince will come to invite you into the palace." The boy said.
Zhou Tianshou was very frightened and said, "...... in the palace My master ......" His master said that interpersonal communication in the palace was complicated, and he asked him not to wade into troubled waters, but he knew that the master was afraid that he would rob him of his job.
The young man's smile was even kinder: "After the Taoist enters the palace, someone will naturally arrange a qiΔ thing for you, but if you want to surpass your master in your majesty's heart, you also need to give your majesty a decent gift." β
Zhou Tianshou looked at the young man strangely: "I'm just a poor Taoist, what gift can I give?" β
The young man just smiled and said, "Gift, I have already prepared it for you." β
Zhou Tianshou followed the young man's gaze, glanced out the window, and was stunned, a pair of eyes immediately nailed to the girl's body, he never approached women on weekdays, and he was clean, but his eyes were straight at this time. The beauty in front of her is really soft in her hands, her skin is like clotted fat, her eyebrows are like moths, her smile is clever, and her posture is extremely moving. After all, he was a cultivator, so he immediately came back to his senses and said, "This isβ"
The young man smiled: "Beside Your Majesty, there is a lack of a lovely beauty, isn't it?" β
