111 maximum suspects

"Rongxi, prepare the car." Li Congyao decisively put down the teacup, picked up Jun Qinglan, and strode out of Begonia Garden.

Jun Qinglan was speechless and choked, glancing at the wooden wheel cart that was left in the yard. Isn't there a means of transportation? Why do you have to hold it and go!

"Lord Wang, in fact, you should be able to live well in Qinglu Garden." Staring at the table of Lanyun Pavilion, Jun Qinglan felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"Say it."

“…… Kindness. ”

Li Congyao raised his eyebrows: "This king took everyone away for you, and you entered Xue Yi's room alone." Don't you have anything to say to this king? ”

“…… Of course. Jun Qinglan sighed in her heart. This person's thinking is really different from ordinary people, and what she just said probably didn't enter that person's noble ears at all. Therefore, it is really boring for her to be so entangled by herself.

She closed her eyes and threw away all her carelessness. She even has a fake name, what's the use of fame? It's rare for Li Congyao to be her backer, so why not.

"The lowly has brought something back from the lord's room. That's enough to prove my original suspicion. ”

As she spoke, she reached into her arms, took out the small paper bag hidden in her arms, unfolded it, and placed it on the table. Inside was a charred black piece the size of a fingernail with slightly yellowed edges, and a little vermilion paste.

Li Congyao frowned: "What is this?" "Not at all.

"That charred piece was something I picked up from the county lord's censer. The red paste is the salvo of the county lord. Jun Qinglan pointed to the black and yellow pieces and said: "The county lord's tranquilizer incense is specially made, and Mama Zhang is conscientious and conscientious, polishing the medicinal materials needed in the tranquilizer incense very finely. I rummaged for a long time to find this piece of residue that had never burned out. ”

"Relatively speaking, lipstick is relatively easy to obtain. Fortunately, the county lord's box of lipstick was freshly made, and I secretly smeared a piece, so it shouldn't be noticed. ”

Li Congyao stared at the two items she presented like a treasure and did not make a sound. He gets along with Li Xueyi every day, whether it is soothing incense or lipstick, he tells people to get it from reliable ways. Jun Qinglan put these two items in front of him at this moment, this is to tell him that these two items are related to Li Xueyi's madness? He couldn't imagine.

Li Congyao's gaze was a little earnest and cold. He didn't want to believe that these things contained the truth about Li Xueyi's madness. Jun Qinglan knew that he was waiting for his answer.

"The lowly found that the soothing fragrance of the county lord was very peculiar, and it was different from the incense that the lowly had been exposed to before. So, I specially asked Mama Zhang, she once told the slave maid that rhino horn was added to the county lord's tranquil incense. Mama Zhang said that the rhino horn used in the county lord's incense was found by the prince. ”

"Yes." Li Congyao's eyes flashed slightly, and he did not deny it.

"I was still strange when I saw the prince on the boat of the black market building that day, I don't know how you got on the boat. All those who enter the black market must be led by regular customers, and the lowly position is also based on the relationship of Yuan Tongtian to reluctantly blend into the ground word room. And now when I saw this rhino horn, I suddenly figured it out. ”

Jun Qinglan hooked her lips and smiled: "Come to think of it, the prince's rhino horn should have been purchased from the black market." The rhino horn is expensive, and the identity of the prince is very noble. Therefore, you can naturally appear in the black market, and it will appear in the black market VIP Tianzi room. ”

"You're right." Li Congyao's eyes flashed slightly: "However, this king doesn't like to always listen to these things that don't matter to Xue Yi." You have not asked the king about the horns, otherwise the king would have been in your ward long ago. ”

Li Congyao's face was slightly gloomy, and the feeling of being interrogated like this was not pleasant.

Jun Qinglan didn't care, and said with a smile: "I once read such a sentence in a medical book. The rhino does not dare to burn, it has a strange fragrance when burned, and it is stained with clothes, and people can communicate with ghosts. Dare to ask the prince, why did you add rhino horn to the county lord's soothing incense. ”

The smile on Jun Qinglan's face gradually froze, and he stared at Li Congyao for a moment.

She would never have thought that after checking and checking, An Shenxiang, which was closely related to Li Xueyi's madness, had a great relationship with Li Congyao. If he shouted to catch the thief, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her.

However, from the first day she stepped into the line, Father Jun told her that in this world, the truth of no case should be drowned. If you are afraid of the powerful, there will be no justice in this world.

Therefore, she thought about it for a long time, but still chose to tell the truth.

Hopefully, she didn't misunderstand Li Congyao.

"It was Uncle Liu's idea to add rhino horn to the soothing incense." Li Congyao didn't care about the vigilance and doubts in her eyes, and said lightly: "The piece I found is a cooked rhino horn, the rhino horn that can pass through ghosts and gods is a raw rhino, and the rhino horn added to Xue Yi'an's divine incense is a cooked rhino that has been specially treated by Uncle Liu. It will only exert its unparalleled calming effect, and will not have other undesirable consequences. ”

“…… Really? ”

Jun Qinglan squinted her eyes miserably when she saw the rhino horn in her hand, it turned out that there was such a big knowledge hidden in the rhino horn. But......

"I have carefully observed the county lord, and I have also asked Uncle Liu to get the county lord's vein. There wasn't much of a problem with her mind or body, and she shouldn't have gone crazy anyway. Uncle Liu once suspected that the county lord was eating away at his mind by poison, so he gradually went crazy. But there is no substantial evidence, so he has never mentioned this matter to the prince. ”

Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao: "The prince has always protected the county lord very well, and the subordinates who serve by her side will be replaced every six months." Her diet is taken care of by a special person, and can only be handled by Mama Zhang alone. Moreover, Mama Zhang eats the same meal as the county lord every day, so she discarded the idea of poison in the meal. And the county lord's mental damage cannot be completed in a day and overnight, and it will take years of continuous perseverance. However, the personnel, food and even clothing, the prince will order people to change regularly. Looking at these arrangements made by the prince, it seems that there is no chance for someone to poison the county lord at all. ”

Li Congyao's gaze fell on Jun Qinglan's cheeks, and the person seemed to be so radiant when talking about the case. Her posture is often already in her chest.

Therefore, the humble position instructed Yuan Bao to go to the Begonia Garden often, in order to secretly observe the personnel around the county lord. Yuan Bao is a smart child, and after a few days, he really discovered some clues. ”

Jun Qinglan smiled and said: "No matter how frequently the personnel around the county lord change, she has two habits over the years, but she has never stopped. ”

Li Congyao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked sideways at the paper bag that Jun Qinglan had placed on the table.

"The prince should have thought of it too." Jun Qinglan also looked at the paper bag: "Those two habits, the first is to order soothing incense every night." The second is to apply lipstick. ”

She moved her gaze to Li Congyao: "The county lord is weak and has a bad complexion, and the prince doesn't want the county lord's face to be damaged by half a point, so he specially prepared a lipstick made of begonia flower juice for the county lord." The county lord loves the begonia flower very much, so he regards the lipstick as a treasure, and he must apply it every morning after waking up. The last time I saw the lipstick box in the county lord's room, there was still more than half of the box left. Today, however, it was a new box of lipstick, less than seven days apart. It shows the monarch's dependence and love for lipstick. ”

Li Congyao's eyes froze, and a sharp coldness suddenly broke out from the bottom of his eyes: "You mean ......." ”

"That's right!" Jun Qinglan bowed his head and said, "Someone has done something in the county lord's mouth. ”

Li Congyao pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

"I've been thinking about what else can I do to get a person to swallow the chronic poison in his stomach other than eating. After Yuan Bao described the daily habits of the county lord to me, I thought of lipstick. Only this thing that is applied to the lip flap every day will make people swallow it inadvertently, just like food. After he had some doubts, he also kept thinking about what was mixed with the lipstick, which would not affect the texture of the lipstick, nor its fragrance and color. ”

Li Congyao leaned his body heavily on the back of the chair, and his voice was vague and weak: "Is there a conclusion?" ”

"Yes." Jun Qinglan said in a deep voice: "It's cinnabar!" ”

Li Congyao frowned, and the woman's voice was like a pearl and jade, cold and pleasant. But when he heard it, everyone felt cold all over.

"Cinnabar is the Three Treasures of Buddhism, which is rumored to be able to calm the nerves and help sleep, and after taking it, it can live forever and soar in the day. I once heard a rumor that because of the bright color of cinnabar, the ladies in the palace secretly ordered someone to add cinnabar powder to the lipstick. First, it is to harmonize the colors, and secondly, it is also to hope that I can take cinnabar for immortality. Therefore, in the special lipstick made by the county lord, the prince also ordered people to add cinnabar? ”

Li Congyao's face was completely dark: "There are many records of the medicinal effect of cinnabar, could it be that cinnabar also has a problem?" ”

"There is no basis for this humble statement, please take a look at it yourself." As she spoke, Jun Qinglan turned her head to look at Rong Xi, who was shrinking in the corner like a wood carved clay sculpture: "Please let Father-in-law Rong go to Qinglu Garden and help me bring the small fish that was called Yuanbao a few days ago." ”

Rong Xi was gone for a full quarter of an hour. No one spoke in the middle, whether it was Jun Qinglan or Li Congyao, they were full of worries. Jun Qinglan knew that Li Congyao couldn't fully believe her words, and she was not in a hurry. Facts speak louder than words, and she will naturally present them before his eyes.

"Lord Wang, the fish has arrived."

When Rong Xi put the porcelain basin containing the small fish on the table, Li Congyao's brows tightened. Jun Qinglan knew that the contradiction in his eyes should be the fear of homesickness. So, there is no such thing as a fearless person in this world. The so-called fearlessness is just not a place of concern.

Jun Qinglan half-furrowed her eyebrows, and took the paper bag smeared with rouge paste to the porcelain basin before looking at Li Congyao.

"Lord Wang, take a closer look."
