ordered the chief bookkeeper to let the spring water taken from Shuquan be taken outside the court, and according to Liang Yuxi's instructions, two small red clay stoves were used to make a fire outside the court, one was a decoction of medicinal herbs caught according to the recipe of Donglu Mansion; One boils the spring water and prepares it to brew according to the tea leaves of the owner of the North Gate Tea Shop. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the official also found three thirsty and hungry pigs and tied them to the bottom of the hall.

All this was ready to stop, and after a while, the fragrance of one medicine overflowed, and the other tea fragrance was rich and wafted around.

Liang Yuxi frowned, sitting in the lobby watching all this, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart. Just now he asked what the symptoms would be if this nameless poison was taken according to the prescription. No one can tell. He also went to Donglu Mansion to see Donglu Guang, and he couldn't be sure that Master Donglu had fallen into the nameless poison. I also went to the spring water to see it, and there were no poisonous herbs and other things by the spring.

Therefore, if it is found that someone has been poisoned by someone in the spring today, then Master Donglu may be someone who deliberately wants to kill him.

This case, unexpectedly, also led to the strange cause of the old man Donglu who had been in the hospital bed for a long time.

Seeing that the decoction and tea were almost done, the master bookkeeper returned to Liang Yuxi, and Liang Yuxi signaled that he could start.

Therefore, the officials poured the decoction, tea, and spring water into the three pig troughs. The three hungry pigs did not choose to eat, but bowed their heads and ate them with a sigh.

After about two pillars of incense, the pig who ate the tea began to be listless, and did not want to move after lying down, and it was not long before some breath was dying. The other one, who had eaten the decoction, was more energetic than at the beginning, and went to the pig trough several times to forage for food. The third, who drank only a little spring water, was nothing out of the ordinary.

Liang Yuxi looked at the three pigs that were very different, and he was basically sure that there must be something wrong with this spring water. And it was deliberately poisoned. It just happened that the tea leaves of the owner of the North Gate Tea Shop were brewed into poisonous water, so they took the lives of five people.

And when Master Donglu started taking this medicine, he was also very good, and he was a little dependent on the medicine, and slowly began to be poisoned.

The spring water, which was not brewed at all, did not seem to have any toxicity. But in the end, we have to watch a few more days with the pig who has eaten the decoction.

Liang Yuxi said to the family of the deceased in the hall: "You have also seen that we have brewed the tea leaves of the owner of this tea shop, and they are not toxic. The brewing with the spring water is toxic, so the violent death of several family members has nothing to do with the tea shop owner. Who poisoned the spring water, the official will continue to investigate. As for the corpse, a few people carried it back first, so that the deceased could fall to the ground. ”

After some demonstrations and court interrogations, the families of several deceased people also clearly understood the cause of their deaths. Although he had to let go of the tea shop owner, the murderer was not caught, and there was still some reluctance in his heart.

After retreating, Liang Yuxi asked Zhu Quan to send someone to Shuquan to guard the spring to see if anyone went to the spring to poison before three o'clock in the afternoon. Then, he and Ma Degui rushed to Donglu Mansion.

After seeing the eldest mother, Liang Yuxi said: "The eldest lady quickly stopped the old man's spring water decoction prescription, the spring water should have been poisoned, and after the top child, she slowly poisoned the old man." ”

Zhao Yueniang was also shocked when she heard it, and asked anxiously what was going on. Liang Yuxi informed her of the death of the tea shop outside the North City Gate and the decoction of medicine with spring water.

After hearing this, Zhao Yueniang cried bitterly: "It's all because I believed the words of that monk, but I didn't expect to fall for his poisonous plan." That's why the old man is like this. ”

Liang Yuxi comforted her and said: "Don't cry, aunt, you can recall, how does this monk look?" How did it come and how did it get there? ”

"It's been almost half a year, and the monk is about fifty years old, dressed in tatters, and said that he came from the Southern Tang Dynasty. It's just that all the way to the north. When he came, he didn't look at the master, so he opened a prescription. I thought he was still very wonderful, and I didn't think that this was all about to be poisoned. ”

Liang Yuxi sighed and said: "This prescription is prescribed without looking at people, it should have been calculated a few flavors of medicine a long time ago, and this person is afraid that it will be difficult to see it in Qinghe County." But someone should have poisoned the spring on time. ”

After Liang Yuxi and Zhao Yueniang gossiped for a while, she got up to say goodbye. As soon as I walked out of the back hall and into the front yard, I happened to meet Dong Lu Jue.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, but Dong Lujue said a blessing and said, "Lord Liang." ”

Liang Yuxi's face turned red for a while, and he didn't know how to face Dong Lujue for a while. Hurriedly said: "Don't call me Lord Liang, still call me Jade Favorite." Miss has always been okay? ”

Dong Lujue didn't dare to look at him, bowed his head and said, "It's all fine." ”

Liang Yuxi knew that she rarely came in the front yard, and there must be some things to deal with for her here, so she said: "Miss has been working hard recently, and she must have a lot to worry about in the house." ”

"The old man can't wake up, my mother and I have to take care of it before and after. Ay! In the past few days, a huge family business has slowly declined. ”

Liang Yuxi only felt that his face was hot. It seems that the decline of Donglu Mansion is related to his being the county commander. If he was still in the house, maybe the young lady and the eldest lady would not have worked so hard.

Liang Yuxi comforted: "Miss is not in a hurry, this is all temporary, and after this period of time, it will be fine." ”

The two stood for a while before saying goodbye awkwardly. Liang Yuxi had just taken a few steps when Dong Lujue stopped him from behind again.

"Lord Liang, you tell Chai Gongzi and Mr. Jia that I have some cultivation matters I want to ask them, and if they are free, they will come to the mansion."

After agreeing to it, Liang Yuxi heard her still call herself an adult, and she felt a little lost. Ma Degui touched him with his elbow and said, "Yuxi, don't you like Miss?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what a delicate person she is."

"That was before, and now you're not a county. It's hard to say that you're still afraid to say it. Why don't I find you a matchmaker, and come to the house that day to propose, how about it? ”

"Uncle Ma, don't do this kind of thing, I like Miss Yes, but how can I say that I used to be a little girl in the house. In addition, the young lady may not like me or not. ”

"This thing, can't wait for what you like me, I like you. After a lot of things have been broken, it's easy to talk about them. Look how awkward you guys were. ”

The two went back to the county office as they spoke.

As soon as they arrived in the back hall, they saw Fu Yanqing and Chai Zongxun sitting together, talking around the Void Seal Daoist.

Liang Yuxi and Ma Degui stepped forward to say a few words to Xuyin, and then sat down with you.

Liang Yuxi said: "The Taoist chief has come back here, and he should stay in this county for a while." He also pointed out how to defend against the Shatuo people. ”

Xuyin said: "Yuxi, I came down the mountain this time, and my plan is that the Shatuo people will not be removed, and I will not return to the mountain." ”

Liang Yuxi said happily: "Great! With the help of the Tao, we are even more powerful. ”

"When I went back to the mountain this time, first, I asked the host Lao Zhenren for advice, what is this vision of Qinghe; The second is also to wait for the opportunity to come down the mountain so that he can join General Wang Zhengzhong. ”

Liang Yuxi was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect the news brought back by the Void Seal Dao Leader to be so encouraging.

"Great, it's almost dinner time, and we'll talk while eating. It's rare that we are so neat, and we must get drunk tonight. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.
