Chapter X: Pursuit
There is no need for Lu Sheng to ask, it is estimated that they will not understand the points that Lu Sheng said just now. Forget it, Lu Sheng dropped the clod of soil and clapped his hands, and no longer wasted his tongue.
"According to the appraisal of the government office, the whole of He Mansion died of arsenic poison, Lao Wei, as far as I know, there are not many places in Suzhou Mansion where you can buy arsenic, right?"
"It's really not much, arsenic is highly toxic, so the court has an order that ordinary people are not allowed to buy and sell privately, which belongs to the highly toxic category controlled by the imperial court. But arsenic is also a drug, so it can still be bought in several large pharmacies in Suzhou.
But if you want to buy arsenic, you must have a prescription from a doctor, and whoever buys it and how much you buy it must be registered. โ
"And where did you get the arsenic from the pharmacy?"
"Si Yao Ya, every state capital has a Si Yao Ya. To purchase arsenic, you need to obtain a special permit issued by the government before you can buy it. โ
"In this way, let's go our separate ways, and the three of you will go to the major arsenic pharmacies in Suzhou to check the arsenic purchase records for half a year before and after. And I'll go to the medicine department to investigate. You guys...... Can you still run?"
Lu Sheng looked up at the three white-haired old men, and suddenly felt sorry for it. If they were still running around at an age, Lu Sheng rushed to a deep sense of guilt.
"Don't worry, don't think that we old men are useless when we get older. For now, the march of 100 miles a day is not a problem. โ
"One hundred and ten miles?" Lu Sheng's eyes widened, this cowhide was a little too blown.
"Don't you believe it, if you change when we were young, we could travel 200 miles a day. Lao Wei patted his chest proudly and said.
"That is, I think back then, we practiced every day, at least sixty miles. Lao Xing said in a helpful voice.
Lu Sheng didn't refute, if you want to change your previous life, it may not work, but this world can't say. After all, there is such a thing as martial arts.
Especially in the military, I heard that there are many masters in the army, and even martial arts in the army has become the third largest category of martial arts in the world.
Seeing the three of them leave, Lu Sheng looked back at the blackboard and strode out of the door.
Just arrived at the front yard, a figure passed over Lu Sheng's head.
"Brother, you want to go out, why don't you call me?"
Lu Li's bath had just been completed, and he had changed into a cyan women's dress. Her wet hair was scattered on her back, and her whole pretty face was red and very cute.
"You just took a shower, don't go if your hair is still wet, brother go to the medicine office, are you afraid that someone will openly attack the court officials in public?"
"That's fine, you wait for me!" Lu Tanuki said, his hands dancing slightly, and almost instantly, a pillar of smoke rose from the top of Lu Li's head, forming a brilliant cloud on Lu Li's head.
After a while, the wet hair became dry and fluffy.
This effect is many times stronger than a hair dryer.
Lu Sheng suddenly became a little worried about the future of this world. Martial arts is so easy to use, and it can be used in all aspects of life.
But it also greatly limits the development of science and technology.
Anyway, it is estimated that there will be no means of transportation, and now it seems that the invention of the hair dryer is estimated to be crossed.
The medicine department is still far away from the criminal department, one in the east of the city and the other in the west of the city. The brother and sister were not too eager to leave, and about an hour, the brother and sister came to the medicine office.
Dao Ming came to understand, and the chief officer of the medicine department did not make things difficult. After all, Lu Sheng's background in the first list of jinshi makes Lu Sheng's future look bright. In the government, everyone is a human spirit.
Got the account book of the medicine office, and Lu Sheng checked it.
In the past six months, there have been 12 pharmacies that have bought arsenic from the Si Yao Ya. The purchase volume of each pharmacy is not large, after all, although arsenic can be used in medicine, there are not many people who need to use this medicine.
"Master Fan, I can understand that these pharmacies need arsenic, but why do these rice shops also need such a dose of arsenic?"
"Lord Lu doesn't know that the granary rice shop will attract a lot of mice, and arsenic is used to medicine mice. โ
Of all the people who buy arsenic, Datong Rice is among them.
When I came back from Si Yaoya, it was getting dark, and the three old men of Lao Wei also came back one after another. It can be seen that the foot strength of the three of them is really not blown.
"My lord, we searched all the pharmacies where arsenic could be bought, twelve in all, but we didn't find any suspicious people. Their inventory and the quantities sold are accurate. Lao Wei clenched his fists and said loudly.
"Lord Qiyu, I have found a suspicious person. โ
"Oh?
"Bai Shaoyu, a genius in Suzhou, once bought three taels of arsenic at the Ganoderma lucidum pharmacy. I heard from the owner of the pharmacy that Bai Shaoyu likes alchemy and medicine, and he has bought arsenic more than once, but the quantity is not much. โ
"How many?"
"The two years before and after add up to less than a catty. โ
"Bai Shaoyu......" Lu Sheng chewed on the name and shook his head silently, "Impossible!"
Bai Shaoyu is the number one talent in Suzhou, and his talent is so high that Lu Sheng even has an unattainable sense of frustration. But whenever Bai Shaoyu goes to the poetry club, everyone will become a foil.
And every time Bai Shaoyu went out, the sachet thrown to him was more like rain. How could such a merry and talented man with such a bright future kill people?
Moreover, even if he has arsenic, how to poison it is a problem.
Bai Shaoyu is arrogant, and there are few people in the world who can be looked at by him. Every time someone who is not convinced challenges him, he will basically be vomited three liters of blood by Bai Shaoyu.
And the person who can be seen by Bai Shaoyu is Lu Sheng.
Once, Bai Shaoyu was drunk and was asked a question by a woman who admired him, "Dare to ask the world, who can compare with Bai Gongzi, and who can convince Bai Gongzi?"
Originally, such a flattering sentence, but Bai Shaoyu, who didn't like to play cards according to the routine, immediately slapped his face directly, "Mo Yan's painting, Du Shaofeng's piano, and Lu Sheng's eyes are unforgettable, this is beyond Bai's reach." โ
Since then, the reputation of the four talented people in Suzhou has spread, which is also the beginning of Lu Sheng's rise in prestige.
His heart was full of pity for Bai Shaoyu, but out of a rigorous attitude, Lu Sheng still felt that he should go to see Bai Shaoyu. After all, he was the one who reported the crime in the first place.
Early the next morning, Lu Sheng dressed up as a scholar in civilian clothes and went out with Lu Li.
With a sword on his waist, Su Zi travels, his instrument is lofty, his expression is elegant, just like Hongyu, ethereal and dusty.
Along the way, Lu Sheng felt a pair of eyes constantly peeking at him. couldn't help it, Lu Sheng paused.
"Ahri, do you have flowers on my brother's face today?"
"No, I don't. โ
"What are you doing staring at me all the time?"
"I never found out that brother, you are so good-looking, no worse than those romantic talents......"
"Feelings, in the past, did you think your brother's appearance was not up to par?" Lu Sheng asked pretending to be slightly angry.
Although I don't understand what looks mean, it's still understandable to contact the previous article. Lu Li smiled slyly, "Brother, don't be angry, I'm just weird, brother is still that brother, but why did he suddenly become good-looking?"
"Are you praising yourself in a different way? A father and mother gave birth to me, if I don't look good, you won't be beautiful. โ
Women become beautiful by makeup, and men become handsome by temperament.
Lu Sheng's original appearance was still okay, but because of his personality, he looked dull, and naturally it was not easy to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
But now Lu Sheng is different, his personality has changed greatly, his spirit is flying, and his appearance has naturally improved qualitatively after the gorgeous change of temperament.
At this moment, a faint floral fragrance skimmed the nose. Four or five sachets fell from the sky and landed beside Lu Sheng.
Looking up, in the attics on both sides of the street, a woman smiled down at him at almost every window.
Seeing more women picking up the sachets, Lu Sheng hurriedly strode away.
"Brother, why don't you pick one up, you're not too young, it's time to find me a sister-in-law. โ
"Shouldn't your sister-in-law be carefully chosen?"
"You used to tell me that you don't have high requirements, you just need to be diligent and thrifty, and be empathetic. You don't need to choose such a woman, right?"
"That was before, but now it's a different time. Even if your future sister-in-law is not a country and a city, she must be amazing. After all, my brother also has to think about the genes of the next generation. โ
"What are genes?"
"It is that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes. โ
"Poofโ"
Bai Shaoyu is known as the fairy in the painting, and the place where he lives is also unique, living alone at the foot of the cold mountain.
Hanshan is a famous mountain in Suzhou, with five consecutive peaks and 20 temples or Taoist temples. The scenery is unique and the weather is very.
An ordinary stone house is built on the mountain, and there is a small courtyard outside the house, and a fence is encircled around the yard. Outside the small courtyard, the stream is murmuring, and at the end of the stream, there is a lotus pond.
At this time, it was already April, and there were already lotus leaves stretched out in the lotus pond.
"Bai Shaoyu, there are friends coming from afar, don't come to greet you soon!" Lu Sheng came to the outside of the fence and straightened his clothes and shouted loudly.
"Oh, Lord Lu bent over, the grass people are far away, forgive their sins!" Bai Shaoyu opened the door, dressed in white as if walking out of the painting. No wonder there is a good name for the fairy in the painting, and it is really appropriate.
But the smile on Lu Sheng's face suddenly retracted after hearing this, and he turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, Brother Lu, Brother Yuzhu, just kidding, don't be angry. Bai Shaoyu hurriedly ran over and grabbed Lu Sheng, "Brother Lu, don't take a joke seriously. However, I want to congratulate Brother Lu on the title of the gold list, but it is true. โ
"It's pretty much the same, what is Brother Bai doing at home recently?"
"What else can I do? Read books and practice calligraphy, and occasionally exchange poetry with friends. Brother Lu, do you know that recently Suzhou scholars have been obsessed with building a thatched cottage for themselves, and the more dilapidated they are, the more happy they are. โ
"What's the meaning of thatched house?"
Because a person said a sentence not long ago, it was widely circulated and even regarded as a classic for a lifetime. โ
"Oh? โ
"The mountain is not high, there is a fairy name, the water is not deep, there is a dragon is a spirit, Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin. There is no ambition without indifference, and there is no far-reaching ambition without tranquility. If it weren't for this mind, how would I be able to get high school in one fell swoop?"
Looking at Bai Shaoyu's sly smile, Lu Sheng flew up and kicked it, "Are you stinky me?"
These words come from the bottom of my heart. By the way, Brother Lu's new official has taken office, and his sudden visit is probably not just to see his brother, is there something wrong?"
