113 Strange flowers appeared
Jun Qinglan didn't speak again, her clear eyes stared at Li Congyao for a moment. He was not an emotional philistine, so he could understand the meaning of her words. He didn't want to suspect Mama Zhang, just because he was afraid of hurting Li Xueyi.
However, cinnabar contains a very small amount of toxins, which is not intended to be poisonous. It will not be deposited in the human body until it is taken over many years. Coupled with the purchase of raw rhinos, this is a huge expense that cannot be ignored. Mama Zhang must be the first bird to be instructed by others, and she can't do it on her own.
On that day, he asked Tang Ying to look for the account books of the black market, just to see if there were any records of rhino horn and cinnabar. Mama Zhang was instructed to poison the county lord, and she would definitely not go through the fair and honest channels to buy the items she needed, not to mention that rhino horns have a price but no market. There are only two places that can be thought of, one is the black market, and the other is the ....... ”
Jun Qinglan didn't speak, only raised her eyes and glanced hurriedly in the direction of the Qinglong District in the east: "These two places need to be investigated one by one, compared to the black market, only the black market is relatively easy to contact. It's a pity that he didn't hold on to the end of the fair, and he hasn't seen Tang Ying so far, I don't know what the situation was that day. If you can know the whereabouts of cinnabar, you may be able to find out the owner behind the scenes. ”
"It's ......." Li Congyao pondered for a long time, and finally slowly raised his eyes to look at Jun Qinglan: "You just don't know, don't make a public announcement, and don't mention it to anyone, so as not to startle the snake." ”
He half-furrowed his eyebrows: "As for Mama Zhang, this king has his own plans. ”
"Yes."
Jun Qinglan immediately agreed. Although she told Li Congyao that there were two suspected targets, in her heart, it was more likely that the main messenger behind Li Xueyi's tragedy came from the palace. After all, before she went crazy, she almost became the mother of the country in Northern Xia. Nothing can happen for no reason, her breakout is a conspiracy, isn't everything that happens after that a conspiracy? There must be a connection between the two!
"Leave the rhino horn fragments you found, and this king will ask Liu Bo Haosheng to investigate." Li Congyao's demeanor and tone were already calm, and they were the same as the high kaolin flowers in the past: "Xue Yi's illness, you can put it aside for the time being." Find out Fulai's case as soon as possible, so that Xue Yi can get out. ”
"There are also some discoveries about this." Jun Qinglan's eyes lit up, and he raised his injured palm and pointed it out to Li Congyao.
"Do you remember why you were injured because of your humble duties?"
Li Congyao's eyes froze: "Drug? ”
"That's right, it's a drug." Jun Qinglan smiled and said, "After the Dark Night Qilin discovered the whereabouts of the humble position, in order to arrest me quietly, he placed a completely tasteless drug in the room. If he hadn't cut his palm with a dagger, he would have become a prisoner long ago. ”
Jun Qinglan slowly withdrew her palm: "During this time, I have been recalling the feeling I felt when I was drugged in Nandefang that day. Aside from a slight dizziness before falling asleep, there was nothing unusual. That's why the lowly will mistakenly think that it is too tired during the day and don't care too much. At that time, the signs before the onset of the drug were exactly the same as on the ship. Therefore, it can be concluded that the drug used by the Night Kirin is the same as the drug used by the lowly in Nandefang. ”
Jun Qinglan looked at her palm and hooked the corners of her lips slightly: "This time it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and finally I asked my humble job to figure out what the drug was in the first place." ”
She slowly raised her eyes, with confidence and calmness in her eyes, dazzling the stars in the sky.
"Puning Temple's little novice Xuankong said that the old monk Qing has been tormented by coughing and asthma for decades and cannot be eradicated. Fortunately, the miracle medicine that Daoshan brought back from his travels in the Western Regions was able to control the disease. However, the prescription is very magical, you need to mix it with cooked tobacco ten taels evenly, put it in a ventilated place, blow it until it is seven or eight percent dry, and then store it in a dry jar for later use. Smoke it daily with a dry tobacco pipe or hookah, as you would normally smoke. It is precisely because of this that Qingyuan has always refused to cooperate. Xuankong boiled the medicinal materials in the conventional cooking method and then supplied them to Qingyuan for consumption, but with little effect. ”
The man's narrow phoenix eyes stared at Jun Qinglan, without a word. Li Congyao's patience is much better than anyone else's, and others can't hold back when they hear Jun Qinglan always say something unrelated to the case. He only looked at her quietly, and there was no impatience in his eyes.
"The lowly job once asked Xuankong for a prescription, but Xuankong refused to leak half a word, and only gave the lowly job a pair of medicine residue. The humble duty sent the medicine residue to Uncle Liu, and just the day before yesterday, Uncle Liu had found the kind of miraculous medicine from the Western Regions in the medicine residue, called Mandala. ”
Jun Qinglan took a breath and said, "Mandala flowers can fix asthma, dispel wind, cure asthma, etc. And it also has a miraculous effect that is not known to ordinary people, that is, anesthesia and pain relief! Anyone who consumes the mandala flower will not wake up and will not cause any harm to the human body. ”
"What do you mean......" Li Congyao said with a deep groan, "Someone added mandala flowers to the vegetarian food given to you?" ”
"Exactly." Jun Qinglan nodded solemnly: "I can already conclude that the drug we were in at that time was a mandala flower. However, this kind of flower is very rare. Before Daoshan did not return to Puning Temple, others were almost unheard of. Even the Xuankong that comes into contact with every day can only be called the strange flower of the Western Regions. Therefore, I still can't figure out who can steal the mandala from the masterful Puning Temple and put it into our diet. This man ....... ”
Jun Qinglan's voice paused slightly and said: "This person can not only get in touch with the food in the temple, but also know where every vegetarian meal is sent. ”
"Why can't it be the medicine of Xuankong or Daoshan?" Li Congyao said slowly.
"It's not possible." Jun Qinglan shook her head: "Everything needs a motive to happen, and there is no case in the world for no reason." Xuankong is simple by nature, and he is not like a fierce person. If he gave the medicine, there was no reason to hand over the medicine residue to us, which would be tantamount to throwing himself into a net. As for Daoshan, isn't that a friend of the prince? I think that those who can fellowship with the prince must be reliable. ”
"The most important one is that they don't have any intersection with the county lord."
The ultimate purpose of Fulai's death is to direct everyone's attention to Li Xueyi, and then implicate the entire Duanwang Mansion. The real culprit must be someone who has a lot of dealings with Duanwangfu, and Daoshan and Xuankong do not meet such conditions. When Li Xueyi had an accident eight years ago, Daoshan had already left Puning Temple and disappeared. As for Xuankong, he was only a three or four-year-old child.
"This person can come into contact with mandala flowers, and he can also come into contact with vegetarian food distributed to various provinces, and he must be in a high position in Puning Temple." Jun Qinglan said slowly: "As far as I know, there are only two people who hold the mandala flower in Puning Temple. One is Xuankong, and the other is Dao Shan. As long as the people who have been in close contact with the two of them are screened one by one, some clues should be found. ”
"It's too much trouble." Li Congyao frowned slightly: "Daoshan has always been fluctuating, but Xuankong is a decent little monk, and he will meet with the monks in the temple every morning and evening, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to investigate one by one. ”
Jun Qinglan spread her hands: "You can focus on the fire-headed monks, they have the opportunity to directly contact Su Zhai." ”
"Nope." Li Congyao groaned and shook his head: "The mandala is the point. You seem to have forgotten that there is also a person in Puning Monastery who comes into contact with mandalas every day. ”
"You mean ......." Jun Qinglan took a deep breath. The woman's whole body trembled, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it.
"How is that possible?" Jun Qinglan understood what Li Congyao meant, but she couldn't believe that the person he mentioned could have anything to do with this matter anyway.
"As you said, all the impossible has been ruled out, and the only answer left, no matter how incredible it is, can only be the only answer." Li Congyao said lightly: "After all, you have suspected and investigated all the people, but you have never regarded him as a suspect. ”
Jun Qinglan swallowed. What's more, she won't treat that person as a suspect, but she is afraid that no one in the world will suspect him.
"Let's go check it out." Li Congyao pursed his lips after only saying four words.
Jun Qinglan half-furrowed her eyebrows: "Yes!" ”
Jun Qinglan frowned, if it was really that person, it would really be incomprehensible. That person is highly respected and famous, and he does this kind of thing, what is the picture?
"The prince has an old enmity with him?"
"Not really." Li Congyao shook his head: "Except for Xue Yi in Duanwang's Mansion, others rarely have contact with Puning Temple. This king has never crossed paths with him. ”
"Understood." Jun Qinglan slowly lowered her head, this is a bit difficult to do. No motive! Even if it's true, she finds out the truth, who can believe it?
"I will go to Puning Temple again as soon as possible. Before that, there is one more important thing to do. Jun Qinglan raised her eyes and looked at Li Congyao, and said solemnly word by word: "If you want to see Fulai, you have to conduct an autopsy in person." ”
"Heavy?"
"Important." Jun Qinglan nodded solemnly.
"You should go to Jiang Yufan." Li Congyao's voice paused slightly, as if with a little annoyance of unknown meaning.
Jun Qinglan's eyes lit up: "That's what I said." This is a case assigned by the emperor to Jinyiwei to investigate, and there is a mantra from the factory duke, so he can ask Dali Temple to provide convenience as Jinyiwei. ”
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "If you can have Jiang Xiaoye with you, it will be more convenient." ”
Li Congyao raised his eyebrows without a trace, and finally let out a sullen sigh. Jun Qinglan glanced at him curiously, this person seemed to be angry? Whatever, it doesn't matter, he's often inexplicably angry anyway. People who are not in good health are about to be so hypocritical.
Jun Qinglan chose to ignore the change in Li Congyao's mood, her eyes were clear, and she got up, as if she was planning to go to Jiang Yufan now.
However, the woman's slender and delicate body made the man hold it down with a pair of big palms.
"You sit down honestly for this king!" The man's voice was cold but firm, unquestionable.
