Chapter 17: The Medicine Jar

It was said that after Wu Sheng received Yu Xuan's letter, he immediately went to the imperial capital as stated in the letter and looked for Zhuang Jie. But Zhuang Jie has been reluctant to come to Hua County with Wu Sheng, but Wu Sheng gave him a letter from Yu Xuan Xiu, Zhuang Jie's face immediately changed after seeing it, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and immediately came to Hua County with Wu Sheng.

Odd? Why did Yu Xuan think that Zhuang Jie was He's adulterer? Yu Xuan didn't know him himself.

In fact, these are speculated by Yu Xuan. Zhuang Jie, because he was originally a high-ranking marquis, had the supreme glory, but it was only seven days. When he lost his original glory, and the humiliation of relying on his nephew Yuguang, he boasted even more about his former glory, so he secretly boasted about himself everywhere with the name of the queen......

"It's ridiculous! Wretched. ”

After Zhuang Jie arrived, Yu Xuan just called Zhuang Jie He to the inner hall for interrogation. "Shosuke, do you know the He clan next to you?" Yu Xuan asked on the table.

Zhuang Jie looked at it and nodded in acknowledgement, "Yu Xuan asked again: "Then have you ever had an adulterous affair with the He family, have you ever had an ...... with the husband of the He family, Jun Shan Yu, on September 17 of this year?" ”

"Your Excellency has wronged! This little priest just communicates with the He family, just takes what they need and plays on the spot. Ben Xiaoshi didn't mean to harm the husband of the He family, Ben Xiaoshi was just looking for flowers and asking willows, and he had a wide range of friends of flowers and willows, how could he be so harmed for one of them......"

That Zhuang Jie admitted that what Yu Xuan asked just now, but when he said that the murder of Shan Yu was debated, he definitely denied that he had this idea. And he looked excited, and his words were tough and seemed to have some truth.

"The bold traitor still dares to quibble, with such ironclad evidence of this grass and insect venom, you dare not admit that it is your crime of stealing your wife and killing your husband."

"Adults are wronged, adults are wronged! Xiaoshi really didn't murder He's husband, what grass and black, insect poison Xiaoshi didn't know anything, didn't know anything! My lord, my lord......" Shosuke hurriedly howled and was wronged.

"The bold traitor still dares to continue to quibble, it seems that it will not work without a big punishment. Someone! ”

The officials hurriedly brought all kinds of torture instruments to Zhuang Jie, and it seemed that Yu Xuan was really going to be punished.

"This government asks you again, do you recognize it or not?"

"The little man doesn't know what to recognize, and the little man doesn't recognize it."

Zhuang Jie still refused to admit it, and Yu Xuan had no choice but to invite a big punishment. On the soldering iron plate first, the official took out the hot red and yellow soldering iron and was about to be seared on Zhuang Suke's chest as he took off his clothes.

"Wronged! Treat unjustly! Treat unjustly! ……”

"That's it!"

Yu Xuan drank the official who was about to be executed.

Yu Xuan ordered all the torture instruments to be removed, and ordered Shosuke to be temporarily placed under house arrest in his own mansion.

In fact, Yu Xuan had already received the news that Zhuang Jie had already arrived at his home in the imperial capital a few days before Shan Yu's death. And after he received the letter, he learned from Wu Sheng that he had no other attitude to resist, just fear. But Yu Xuan was worried that he would be fake, so he wanted to try him again, and now Yu Xuan didn't seem to be lying. But isn't this another clue?

Today, Shan Yu's sister-in-law Shan Yu sent a lot of things to Yu Xuan again, and this time she changed it to ginseng, deer antler, and shou wu...... and so on. Yu Xuan thought about asking Wu Sheng to return all the items to the Shan Yu Family Tavern later, and Wu Sheng did so.

But when Wu Sheng came, he tied up and led a person, saying that he was a thief. "Sir, I was going to return the things just now, but before I went back to the things, I saw the guy with a thief and a thief, and he was so sneaky that he stared at the backyard of the single tavern. I followed him and saw him digging up a bottle of things in the backyard of a single tavern, I immediately climbed over the wall and went inside to catch it, this guy also slyly said, saying that he buried it himself, I asked him what was in it, why it was buried in the backyard of someone else's house. He couldn't come back, so I brought this guy back to the yafu. ”

Yu Xuan praised Wu Shenghao, and immediately ascended to the court to interrogate this person. Yu Xuan asked, and when he asked, he asked a strange thing.

"Tell the lord, the villain really saw the second shopkeeper of the Shan tavern Zhong You sneaking around, and in the dead of night, he took a shovel and secretly went to the backyard of the tavern where he was struggling to make a living, and buried the things in the soil in a panic, and found something to cover it, which looked very mysterious and weird. So the little ......"

After listening to the thief's confession, Yu Xuan looked at the thing, which turned out to be a bottle of medicine, and then ordered someone to open the bottle, but ......

"My lord, this, this, there's nothing in here, it's empty."

Yu Xuan listened to the call of a government official and hurriedly ordered someone to take it, "Present it, let me take a look." Yu Xuan took the bottle and looked inside, "Sure enough, there is nothing." Yu Xuan handed it over to Li Mou on the side. Li Mou took it and looked at it, tilted his neck, and fanned it back and forth with his hand, and then simply stretched his neck and leaned into the mouth of the bottle. The dog's nose sniffed.

Seeing this, Yu Xuan asked Li Mou, "What's wrong with my brother?" ”

Li Mou looked abnormal, and said: "This inside seems to be a little good, I smelled a faint aroma when I took it just now, probably because I have been looking for medicinal herbs for my mother since I was a child, so I am very sensitive to this." I tried to sniff it as far back as I could, and sure enough, the smell was stronger. It's like, it's like......

"It seems to be the taste of prunella and chrysanthemums!" Yu Xuan said for Li Mou.

"Hmmm! Do you know that? Li Mou asked Yu Xuan.

"The younger brother has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he is a medicine jar, so he knows some medicines."

"Brother Xian is right, but Brother Xian still can't smell that there are other things in this medicine bottle besides the smell of prunella grass and chrysanthemum boiling."

"Oh! What is it? After listening to Li Mou's words, Yu Xuan hurriedly asked.

"This, this ......"

Li Mou suddenly pulled out the saber of a servant on the side, lightly slashed one of his fingers, and then dripped the blood flowing down into the bottle. There was a sound like cooking on fire, and then a wisp of white smoke came out.

"Sure enough, this is the same insect poison as the deceased Shan Yu."

Yu Xuan also took the bottle and can, and looked at it carefully, and found that the base of the bottle and jar suddenly had traces of overlap and gluing. Yu Xuan froze for a moment, and suddenly his eyes shone brightly. "I know, it turns out that someone dismantled the bottom part of the disc of the medicine bottle and jar and added it, as long as the disassembled part is boiled with insect poison for a period of time and then re-glued, so that you can kill people invisibly without poisoning yourself. However, because of the fusion and mixing of drugs, the colorless and odorless insect venom has a flaw, and because it has been boiled for too long, the aftertaste of this bottle has not disappeared so far. ”

Yu Xuan immediately ordered someone to temporarily take the thief into the house, and he was thinking about how to catch the suspect who was hiding the thing......
