Chapter 38: The Chamber of Secrets
Shui Qingxiang's heart was beating fast, and her face that had just been touched by Liu Yingyi was hot all the time.
He...... Does he like me by doing this?
Shui Qingxiang's mood was a little chaotic, and after careful calculation, Liu Yingyi was the first man he met in this world who was still eye-catching.
Falling in love in this world is different from the previous life, most men and women will not point it out, at most it is the words of the matchmaker, the order of the parents, it is rare to take the initiative like Liu Yingyi, is he ......
A night of cranky thoughts, so that Shui Qingxiang did not sleep well.
The next day, when Shui Qingxiang saw Liu Yingyi again with two dark circles under her eyes, she saw that Liu Yingyi was in good spirits, the clouds were light and the wind was light, as if nothing had happened last night.
Shui Qingxiang's mood was a little frustrated, and sure enough, Lord Liu was a person who didn't know anything about feelings, and yesterday's actions were just kind enough to help her wipe her mouth.
Sure enough, I thought about it too much.
Liu Yingyi walked down the stairs and saw Ning Wuze with a black face, who had just been killed by the master who was regarded as his own father yesterday and died of poisoning, but the murderer has not been caught yet.
Ning Wuze, who is very good at fighting, but is slightly inferior in solving the case, can only put his hopes on his junior brother Liu Yingyi, Ning Wuze crossed his arms on his chest early in the morning, guarding the door of the inn like a god, just waiting for Liu Yingyi to appear, raised his head and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Yancheng Yamen." Liu Yingyi discussed the case with Shui Qingxiang last night, and felt that it would be better to go to the yamen today to discuss with the county magistrate and the court.
Ning Wuze nodded, very satisfied with his junior brother's decision, and let go of his two arms: "I'll go with you." ”
Shui Qingxiang and Qin Zhutou followed closely behind them.
The four of them came to the Yancheng Yamen, and the catcher at the door kindly led them to the Yancheng County Order.
Yancheng County ordered more than thirty people, a bare-faced man, who was not wearing an official uniform at this time, and was holding half a cake in his hand, and gave Liu Yingyi a very courteous salute: "My lord, are you here to ask about the case?" ”
Yoo Young-yi nodded.
The bare-faced county magistrate reported to Liu Yingyi while biting the cake: "Yesterday, I already called the servant overnight to check what kind of poison Yuan Gongzhong was, and he specially invited his master, as well as several doctors with good medical skills in Yancheng, who are studying poisons in the room at this time. ”
As soon as they arrived in the room, everyone was dumbfounded.
In a small room, more than a dozen doctors, young and old, huddled together, arguing over poison.
"This poison can poison people in such a short period of time, there is no doubt about arsenic." A young doctor said confidently.
"Nonsense!" A middle-aged doctor with a short black beard slapped the young doctor on the head, "After so many years of medical skills, have you learned the dog's belly?" If it was arsenic, the deceased would definitely foam at the mouth and turn black, but listening to the adult, Yuan Gong did not have these symptoms at all. I guess Yuan Gongzhong must be chronically poisonous, and it is very likely to be night vine grass. ”
As soon as the middle-aged doctor finished speaking, a gray-haired and older doctor slapped him on the head again: "You quack, have you forgotten all the medical skills that the old man taught you?" After eating the night vine grass, the poisoned person will be unconscious, and then he will be poisoned and die, which is obviously the ghost grass. ”
The middle-aged doctor's face turned pale: "Master, the Netherworld Grass has only been seen in medical skills, how can anyone have really been poisoned by the Netherworld Grass?" ”
Another old doctor also argued with the gray-haired old man with a red face: "Old horseman, the Netherworld Grass is a mythical thing, how can you use it to fool the younger generations?" This is clearly the leaf powder. ”
"What kind of Yin leaf powder, it's obviously a nether grass!"
……
The two dozens of years old men fought over each other, and the other doctors present couldn't persuade them.
Liu Yingyi, Shui Qingxiang, and Yancheng County Order, the big guys were dumbfounded.
Doesn't that mean that poisons are examined? Why did your own people quarrel first?
The Yancheng County Commander and the Servant mediated for a long time before the dozen doctors stopped arguing.
"What it means now is that the poison in Yuan Gongsuo is a chronic poison, is that what it means?" The county magistrate of Yancheng is also a smart person, and he immediately sorted out the clues from the arguments of these doctors about poisons.
Liu Yingyi thought about it, this is correct with Shui Qingxiang's guess last night, only the people of the Yuan Mansion can be poisoned.
Coming out of Yancheng County, the group went straight to Yuan's mansion.
Gong Yuan's coffin was still parked in the lobby of Yuan's mansion, and the mansion was dressed in white, which was completely different from the atmosphere of Mrs. Yuan's reception last night.
Yuan Yishan was in the mansion, and when he saw Liu Yingyi coming, he hurriedly stepped forward: "A few adults, are you still here to investigate my father's case?" ”
"We want to go to the master's study and have a look." Liu Yingyi walked in front and said.
"Study?" Yuan Yishan's face was gloomy, and he didn't seem to want to take everyone over.
The Yancheng County Commander noticed Yuan Yishan's unkind look: "What, it's inconvenient?" ”
"Not really. It's just that the study room in this house has been haunted before, and the people in the house are reluctant to go over, and even the people dare not go in to clean it. ”
"Locked? The master may have left something inside. Liu Yingyi said firmly.
"In the past, my father locked the jade unicorn in the study, but unfortunately the jade unicorn was lost later, and my father also passed away, and there was no trace of things." Yuan Yishan answered truthfully.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Yuan Yishan saw that Liu Yingyi was so persistent, so he had to take everyone to the study.
Walking into the front door, bypassing the cloister, a few rooms with gray tiles and white walls by the pond are Yuan Gong's study.
Memories of the past flashed in Liu Yingyi's mind one by one, once he also read and studied in that study, and received the influence of his teacher there, but now the kind and cold old man can never appear.
Yuan Youcheng did not become an official in the imperial court, and what he did in his life was not even remembered by the world, but Liu Yingyi always knew the status of this old man in his heart.
If it weren't for him back then, I am afraid that he would have died in the chaos, and it was he who taught himself to solve his doubts, so that he could find his way again in the confused and troubled days.
Now, the old man who is like a father and brother and a friend who has forgotten his years has been poisoned, and the only thing that Yoo Young-yi can help him in the end is to find the murderer who killed him to comfort his soul in the sky.
After stepping into the study, Yuan Liu Yingyi immediately said to everyone, "Let's look carefully, there may be a secret room in this study." ”
As soon as they heard the word "secret room", everyone exploded one after another.
The Yancheng County Commander was one of the most surprised people, "Lord Liu, are you sure there is a secret room here?" Did Yuan Gong tell you, or did you go before? ”
Among these people, in addition to the Yuan family, Liu Yingyi and Ning Wuze are the most familiar with Yuan Gong, in the eyes of Yancheng County Order, Liu Yingyi must know some clues to say so.
Liu Yingyi shook his head: "That's not the case, although I have stayed here, I usually spend very little time in the master's study." It's just that I've heard that the master often disappears in this room and then suddenly appears again, so it's very likely that there is a secret room here that is not noticed by outsiders. ”
