Back at home in Xiaotian Village, Liu Jingyi hurriedly told Jing Ziyan what she had seen and heard in the past few days, and told Jing Ziyan about her suspicions, "Childe, I suspect that this matter was deliberately done by someone, and the owner of the sachet shop must have something to do with it." ”

Jing Ziyan pondered. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked eagerly, "Yi'er, you said that Miss Yan started using agarwood incense a year ago, and her mosquito repellent and insect repellent sachet also started to wear a year ago." ”

"Yes"

Jing Ziyan's face was cold: "But Ruoxue's sachet was only used half a year ago, and the boss at that time told her that it was a new product." ”

"The boss is lying." Liu Jingyi reacted. "Childe, if the Liu family and the Zuo family also buy the same sachets, will someone be poisoned?"

Aunt Youxi next to her suddenly interjected, "Then find a way to get the sachets purchased by the Liu family and the Zuo family, and you can know whether this matter is for the Yan family, or for the son, or a coincidence." ”

Jing Ziyan said gloomily: "This matter must not be a coincidence. ”

Jing Ziyan summoned Mo Yu and Han Che and ordered, "You two follow me to the sachet shop, and let's go to meet the boss." ”

"Childe, I want to go with you." Liu Jingyi said eagerly.

Jing Ziyan does not allow it. "You've been sick at Yan's house for the past few days, so go back to your room and rest and wait for our news." Jing Ziyan instructed Zisu again: "Serve your girl carefully." ”

Liu Jingyi has been absent these days, and Jing Ziyan has been worried. Seeing her return safely, a hanging heart let go. Although she is a subordinate, this child was at least picked up by herself, she has been by her side for so many years, and she has saved her life many times, which is different from ordinary subordinates to her.

Liu Jingyi had no choice but to give up and return to her room in resignation. It takes two hours to go back and forth from Xiaotian Village, and it is not possible to sit in a hurry, so I have to pick up a medical book to read it and divert my attention.

She felt frightened, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart. It's been 9 years, it's been 9 years since her family was wiped out, she watched her relatives fall in front of her eyes one by one, she regarded Jing Ziyan as a relative, she didn't want her relatives to be inexplicably assassinated again.

She waited anxiously. I don't know how long it took, but I heard the voice of the maid outside the door, "Miss Jing, Childe, please go to the front hall." ”

Liu Jingyi hurriedly put down the book in her hand and rushed to the front hall with Zisu. As soon as I stepped into the front hall, I felt that the atmosphere in the front room was extremely tense. Jing Ziyan sat in the seat of the head with an iron face, without saying a word.

Liu Jingyi cautiously walked up to Jing Ziyan, saluted, and asked in a low voice, "Childe, is something wrong?" ”

Jing Ziyan pointed to the position of his lower right head and motioned for Liu Jingyi to sit down.

"The owner of the sachet shop died before we arrived." Jing Ziyan said coldly.

"What!" Liu Jingyi couldn't help frowning, and looked at Jing Ziyan with a surprised expression. "How can this be, we haven't touched him yet, how is it possible...

"I heard from the apprentice of the sachet shop that today Yanfu sent someone to their store to ask the boss for questioning, and not long after the people from Yanfu left, the owner of the sachet shop died." Jing Ziyan said. "Now, there has been a murder case, and the government has intervened."

Jing Ziyan looked at Youxi, who had been standing next to him, and said, "Youxi, what do you think of this." ”

"This... The slave maid said that it was not good, according to what Miss Jing saw in Yanfu, this matter seemed to be aimed at Yanfu, and the layout began a year ago. As for Childe and Madame, maybe it's a coincidence. ”

"Yi'er, what do you think?"

"Jingyi can't say it well, I always feel that this matter has a lot to do with Yanfu, but the son and the lady, maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's deliberate." Liu Jingyi said.

"I think it's more like it's deliberate." Jing Ziyan said. "Now that the government has intervened, we need to find a way to directly participate in the investigation."

Jing Ziyan got up and slowly paced to the door of the main hall, looked into the distance with a pair of deep eyes, and muttered, "In the past few years, the wind in Liuzhou has been much stronger than when we first came. ”

Liuzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River of Dachen, although it is hundreds of miles away from the capital, it is an important military place and a source of finance and taxation for the imperial court.

After a long time, he said slowly, "Auntie, what you have been talking about before, I think you can start planning." He continued, "Nowadays, the enemy is dark and we don't even know who the other side is, so we can only be cautious. ”

"Since someone wants to make waves, then let's use the wind to make waves," Jing Ziyan said leisurely.

Liu Jingyi was puzzled: "Childe, what good idea does he have?" ”

"Let's also go to investigate, starting with the death of the owner of the sachet shop. Open investigation and enter the sight of the government. Jing Ziyan said in a deep voice.

When Liu Jingyi heard this, she got up and saluted Jingzi: "Jingyi wants to go to investigate the case with Gongzi, Jingyi knows a little about medical skills, which is helpful in finding out the cause of death." ”

Jing Ziyan looked at Liu Jingyi: "It's okay, with you by your side, maybe you can really take fewer detours." Then he continued, "You go and get a little ready, and we'll go into the city in a moment." ”

Liu Jingyi went back to the room to change into men's clothes, put on the mask that had been prepared a long time ago, and appeared in front of Jing Ziyan heroically.

Seeing Liu Jingyi's dress, Jing Ziyan frowned slightly and did not speak.

Time waits for no man.

Jing Ziyan took Liu Jingyi, who was dressed as a man, back to the sachet shop. This is a decades-old shop, the owner Sun Xinglai inherited the shop from his father, both father and son have been proficient in the art of incense making, in this Liuzhou Mansion, far and wide.

At this time, the sachet shop was closed due to the death of the owner. As soon as the apprentice Ding saw Jing Ziyan and a few people coming to the store, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "A few guest officers, the shop has closed, please come back another day." ”

Jing Ziyan took out the two sachets involved and asked coldly, "Xiao Er, do you know these two sachets?" ”

Ding Yi took the sachet and looked at it carefully, sniffed the smell, and said, "This is the sachet in our store, this is the recipe carefully developed by my master, and it is extremely expensive." ”

"Oh, you admit that the sachet is from your shop." Jing Ziyan said quietly. "Then can you be sure that the recipes for the herbs in these two sachets are the prescriptions of your store?"

Ding Yi said with a little pride, "Guest officer, I'm very sure that the sachets of this recipe can only be matched by my master in the whole Liuzhou Mansion." ”

"Oh, yes!" Jing Ziyan's words suddenly changed: "But my wife was poisoned because of these two sachets." ”

Ding Yi was frightened by Jing Ziyan's sudden change. "Guest officer. It's none of my business, this recipe is all prepared by my master, and it is never passed on to others. ”

"Then I want to meet your master and ask him what the hell is going on." Jing Ziyan continued to say coldly.

"Guest officer, my master he. He died this morning. Ding Yi stammered in reply.

"Oh?" Jing Ziyan snorted noncommittally and asked, "How did your master die?" ”

"He... Today, the people from Yanfu came to find Master, and after the people from Yanfu looked for Master, Master died. Ding Yi trembled and said, "After I sent the people from Yanfu away, I went back to the back room to find the master and found out. . . I found that the master was lying on the table, I stepped forward to call the master, but I couldn't wake up, so I used my hand to probe the master's snort, and found that the master had been. Already dead. I hurriedly called someone to report to the officer."

Liu Jingyi frowned, "This is too coincidental." Do you know why the people of Yanfu are looking for your master? ”

"No. I don't know... Now my master's body has been carried back by the Yamen. Ding Yi's lowered head raised slightly, and he secretly glanced at Liu Jingyi. His move did not escape Jing Ziyan's eyes.

"What did your master do after he saw the people of Yanfu before his death?" Jing Ziyan asked.

"Master seems to have anticipated the arrival of the people from Yanfu, he brought the guests into the back hall and instructed me to serve them tea, and after the tea was served, he asked me to leave."

Liu Jingyi suddenly asked, "What was your master like when he died?"

Ding Yi replied, "He was lying on the table where he was drinking with the guests, his expression was calm, and there was a slight smile on his lips, as if he was asleep." ”

"Is the cup that your master drank when he was alive still there, and the teacup is fine, I want to see it?"

"That cup of tea is still there, and after the master died, I was busy reporting to the official and being interrogated by the yacha, and I didn't have time to clean it up." Ding Yi said. "These things have been checked by the Yacha, there is no problem, if the guest officer doesn't believe it, I will go and get it for the guest officer."

Because Liu Jingyi has been working with herbs all year round, she is particularly sensitive to all kinds of smells and can smell smells that ordinary people can't smell.

Ding Yi took the tea cup, and Liu Jingyi carefully examined the tea soup and the tea cup, and there was no poison that could kill people in a short time.

Jiao Zhen came to the sachet shop again with Zhang Tao, the head catcher, Jiao Zhen from the magistrate of Gui County, southern Xinjiang, good punishment prison, every place is diligent and loves the people, Qu Zhi prison, so that the traitors and criminals can be punished as they deserve, and redress the grievances of the innocent people, won the hearts of the people, and then promoted all the way, and now he is a five-grade official, serving as the envoy of Liuzhou Criminal Division, and mentioning the criminal prisons in various parts of the Yangtze River.

Jiao Zhen has passed the age of not being confused, his body is slightly blessed, and he is slightly gasping when he walks. When I saw Jing Ziyan and his party, I was a little displeased. When the government handles cases, idlers and miscellaneous people should be avoided, but it can't make people close their doors. Jiao Zhen has been in the officialdom for many years and has read countless people, but Jing Ziyan's own aura still shocked him, and he subconsciously felt that this person had a lot of background.

They have already been to Yanfu and have learned about the experience of Yan Zitong, the eldest lady of Yanfu, and at this moment, the sachets involved are already in Jiao Zhen's hands. Seeing that Jing Ziyan was also holding two sachets in his hands, his gray eyes suddenly had a glimmer of light, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and said to Jing Ziyan, "This official is Jiao Zhen, the envoy of the Liuzhou Criminal Division, and the son is here to buy sachets, I'm sorry that the sachets in this store can't be sold to the outside world at present, this may be evidence of the government's case." ”

Jing Ziyan arched his hand towards Jiao Zhen, made a bow and said, "My lord, I didn't come to buy a sachet, this sachet was bought here by my wife before, but because of this sachet, my wife and I were poisoned. That's why I'd like to come here and ask the owner about it. It's just that I didn't expect that Boss Sun was dead. ”

"What, you guys were poisoned because of this sachet?" Jiao Zhen was shocked.
