In the backyard, Xiao Wu and Chang Feng were talking about something, and when they saw Li Canghai coming, the two hurriedly bowed to him.

Li Canghai waved his hand, signaling the two of them not to be polite, and said directly: "You came here, but what did you find?" ”

Xiao Wu and Chang Feng glanced at each other, and when they saw that Chang Feng made a gesture of please, he said: "Lord Hui, I have carefully examined the body of the servant, and the deceased was actually poisoned to death, and his tongue was cut off after death. ”

"Poisoned?" Li Canghai was a little surprised, "Why didn't I find any signs of poisoning?" ”

Xiao Wu took out five black silver needles and said: "My lord doesn't know, the deceased is a kind of rat grass poison, this poison is a day and a night, and there is blood in the nine orifices. When the adults examined it, it must have been that the deceased had just died, and the venom had not yet flowed all over the body. ”

Li Canghai suddenly knew not much about herbal knowledge, and even less about poisons.

He secretly said in his heart that it was really a wise move to keep Xiao Wu by his side.

After stomping back and forth a few steps, Li Canghai nodded, and then asked Chang Feng again, "How did you check over there?" ”

Chang Feng said: "I found out that Zuo Hongji was captured by the bandits two years ago because the guys around him gave him sweat medicine. At that time, all the guys who followed Zuo Hongji were killed, except for the guy, but he was later found dead in a brothel. ”

Li Canghai didn't speak, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and motioned for Chang Feng to continue.

"However, this guy is from Zhengyang County, and there is a one-year-old old lady in the family, and when I went to inquire, his wife insisted that her son was killed." Chang Feng finished speaking in one breath, and said with some doubts: "My lord, but these have nothing to do with the king!" ”

"Don't jump to conclusions about everything, things that often seem unrelated are actually deeply implicated." Li Canghai touched his chin and suddenly asked, "How could that guy die in a brothel?" What is the cause of death? ”

Chang Feng nodded like a teachable person and said, "What the adults teach is that the little ones must remember the teachings of the adults and not let go of any clues." The guy died suddenly in a brothel, and the cause of death was said to be ...... Exhausted and dead. ”

Li Canghai stumbled at his feet and almost fell.

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily a few times, "Is this a conclusion made after a test?" ”

Chang Feng thought for a moment and said, "No, the person in charge of this case at that time was Wang Buquan, and he made this conclusion." ”

Speaking of this, Chang Feng suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization.

Li Canghai saw that he seemed to have figured out the key, so he nodded and said in a deep voice: "The water in this is very deep!" First the guy was drugged, then Zuo Hongji was captured by the bandits, and then the guy died suddenly, if you want to say that these are all coincidences, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to believe it. ”

"My lord is saying that that guy is very likely to be bribed by Wang Buquan?" Chang Feng's eyes widened.

"It's not impossible." Li Canghai pondered.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Chang Feng had a headache.

Originally, there were enough things, but now there was a case from two years ago, and these clues were all related to Wang Buquan, in the face of so many clues, Chang Feng didn't know where to start for a while.

Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows, he pondered for a while, and said, "It's getting late today, and early tomorrow morning, Xiao Wu and I will go to that guy's house." As for you, there are more important things to do. ”

"Although the adults are instructed, the small ones will go to the soup and the fire, and they will never give up!" Chang Feng clenched his hands into fists and said with a straight face.

"Since the domestic servant died of poisoning, the person who poisoned him must be the one who can get close to him, from the accident in the Zuo family until he was sent to prison, the most suspicious thing is the several officials who appeared that night. You go and investigate them, I suspect that the servants died at their hands. ”

After a pause, Li Canghai took out the dagger scabbard from the cloth bag and said to him: "Also, you go and inquire where you can buy this kind of dagger." ”

Chang Feng took the dagger scabbard, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then handed it over.

While the three of them were talking, a small sound suddenly came from behind the big tree in the backyard.

"Who?" Chang Feng was the first to notice, he hurriedly walked over and pulled out a small beggar from behind.

"Little Tiger?" Li Canghai was a little surprised, wasn't this the little beggar he had seen during the day?

"How is your mother's condition now?" Li Canghai asked Chang Feng to put him down, and then asked with concern.

The little beggar rubbed his aching shoulder, which was pulled by Chang Feng, plopped, and knelt down in front of him.

"Thank you for saving your life, if it weren't for the grace of my lord, my mother would be gone...... Thank you, thank you, thank you! The little beggar whimpered as he kowtowed to him.

"It's good that you're fine, it's so late, why don't you go to rest, what are you doing here?" Li Canghai pulled him up, patted the soil on his body, and asked.

The little beggar bit his lip and said hesitantly: "Master, you are right, no matter how poor you are, you can't steal it." This is what I brought when I took ginseng. ”

As he spoke, the little beggar took out a small porcelain vase from his arms and handed it to Li Canghai.

"You can change your mistakes, it's a great thing, it's not too early, you can go back and rest quickly." Li Canghai weighed the porcelain vase in his hand, squinted his eyes and said.

Seeing that he was not angry, the little beggar had a look of joy on his face, as if the stone hanging in his heart had finally landed, he nodded excitedly, and turned away.

"My lord, what is this?" Chang Feng looked at the porcelain vase in his hand puzzled and asked.

Li Canghai opened the seal, and immediately a strong sour smell wafted out, which irritated their noses and almost failed.

"It looks like it's just a potion that has gone bad for time. After a hard day, it's time to rest and recuperate, and there are more important things to deal with tomorrow. Li Canghai said approvingly to the two.

At this time, Zhang Xuan carried some herbs in a dustpan and walked to the backyard to prepare to dry the next day.

He keenly smelled the residual sour smell in the air, snorted, and said, "Childe is wrong, this is not a spoilage medicine, but a poison." ”

When Li Canghai heard this, he hurriedly handed over the medicine bottle and asked, "Are you sure this is poison?" ”

Zhang put down the dustpan, took the porcelain bottle in his hand and weighed it, and said proudly: "I have studied medicine since I was a child, and I know the medicinal properties of various herbs well. ”

"This poison can eat away at bones?" Li Canghai was taken aback, and at the same time, a thought appeared in his mind.
