Chapter 010: Quick Knife Mess
The room where Shen Jinming was resting was silent, and only Mama Huai and Fuli were guarding the room.
Seeing Shen Shu come in, the two hurriedly greeted each other.
Huai Mama said softly: "Last night, the old lady stayed outside for a night, and I was worried that the third young master didn't close his eyes much, and he just went to sleep in the wing room at this time." β
Shen Shu nodded: "Mama is also tired, go down and rest for a while, I am here here, when the third brother wakes up, I will ask Huaiyue to call you." β
Mama Huai hesitated, the fourth girl was a jumpy character, and she really didn't worry about handing over the "heavy responsibility" of taking care of the third young master to her.
However, when she saw Huaiyue behind Shen Shu, she was a little relieved and thanked her and retreated.
When Mama Huai left, Shen Shu sent Huaiyue to guard outside and walked to Shen Jinming's bedside.
Shen Jinming's face was a little paler than when she first saw her yesterday afternoon, and his eyebrows and temples still had the redness and swelling left after the needle.
Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Shu didn't wait for Shen Shu to ask, so he whispered: "Last night, the villain arranged more than 20 people to stay inside and outside the courtyard, and I didn't find anything unusual. β
Shen Shu frowned.
"Didn't you find any suspicious people outside the yard?"
Welfare shook his head decisively: "Last night it was rainy and windy, not to mention people around the yard, not even a fly." β
Hearing this, Shen Shu's brows furrowed even deeper.
If the man in the cloak jumped into the meditation garden last night in order to poison the third brother, it would be impossible for the welfare side to be silent.
Since the benefits have not found anything unusual, it means that-
The third brother's poison was not given by that person!
The man in the cloth didn't come to poison, but jumped into the Jingsi Garden, there is no place in front of the mountain temple and there is no store behind the village, and the person is very likely to be hiding in the Jing'an Garden!
The house should be easy to catch, this man in a cloth must not let him run!
Thinking of this, Shen Shu hurriedly ordered: "You personally go and quietly check how many pilgrims settled in the meditation garden last night, what are their origins, and where they live, come back to report to me." β
Seeing her look, Welfare knew something was wrong, didn't dare to delay, turned around and left-
"Wait." Shen Shu hurriedly called him, lowered his voice and said, "Send someone to the Duhu Mansion to find Daddy, just say that someone wants to kill me and my brother, and let him bring people to arrest people." Before Daddy came, you sent people to quietly guard all over the meditation garden, and if anyone left, they would secretly detain them. β
Welfare looked stunned, hurriedly said yes, and quickly retreated.
Shen Shu guarded Shen Jinming while waiting for the news of welfare.
Her mind was spinningβ
Since the man in the cloth is hiding in the meditation garden, he must be waiting for the news that the two brothers and sisters "died of poison" nearby.
At this moment, not long after the heavy rain stopped, the road was muddy, and no matter whether the man in the cloth left or stayed, he would leave a trace.
Daddy brings someone over, and it will take an hour no matter how fast it is.
Before Daddy came, if he only relied on the welfare of those people, I am afraid it would not be enough.
This should happen sooner rather than later! It's fast, not slow!
Just as Shen Shu was thinking-
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the sound of porcelain falling to the ground reached her ears through the window lattice!
Huaiyue walked in from outside and reported in a low voice: "Girl, the doctor accidentally dropped the medicine bowl and spilled all the decoction of the medicinal juice." The doctor was afraid of delaying the young master's condition, so he wanted to come in and give the young master an injection instead of taking medicine. β
Shen Shu's eyes moved slightly.
"Call him in, you go and let Fuxi fry the bowl of medicine in, and by the way, inform Grandma Huai of this."
Huaiyue went down to make arrangements, and after a while, he brought in the doctor who looked a little panicked.
Shen Shu pretended not to see the doctor's strange appearance, stood up from the bed, and stepped aside.
When the doctor saw the ceremony, he took out a set of silver needles from the medicine box, forcibly pressed his trembling hand, and pierced the silver needles into several acupuncture points on Shen Jinming's eyebrows and the side of his head.
Shen Shu watched from the side, and the heart that she had been mentioning finally let go a little.
The poison of hot cordata attacks the head.
The first method of detoxification is to discharge the poisonous blood gathered near several major acupuncture points on the head, and then use cold herbs to dispel the poison.
It seems that after the doctor tasted the medicinal juice, he found that the third brother's "head disease" was caused by hot cordata.
He didn't inform the Shen family of this matter as soon as possible, but used a roundabout method to detoxify the third brother.
Presumably because he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, he was afraid that he would be implicated.
Although this is human nature, the consequences of "being alone" like him will only make the person who poisoned him continue to poison unscrupulously!
Shen Shu's eyes suddenly turned cold, fortunately, she had already left her back, and now that she knew that the third brother had been poisoned by hot cordata, she would never allow this doctor to hide it anymore!
Wait until the doctor finishes administering the needleβ
Fuxi happened to fry a new bowl of soup and brought it in from the outside.
Shen Shu immediately smelled the smell of the decoction-
With an unpleasant smell of blood.
Sure enough, hot cordata was added!
When the doctor saw the decoction, he hurriedly stepped forward without waiting for Fuxi to approach, took the medicine and tasted it, his face changed, and he quickly vomited back.
This style surprised both Fuxi and Huaiyue.
The doctor put the decoction back in the tray, hesitated, seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Shen Shu: "Girl, don't be weird, can someone invite the old lady to come here, about the third young master's illness, I still need to present it in person." β
On the surface, seeing Shen Shu's young age, he didn't worry about telling her.
In fact, he had tasted the medicine and knew that the person who poisoned him would not give up, so it was difficult for him to "be alone", so he decided to tell the truth.
didn't wait for Shen Shu to speak-
The cotton curtain at the door was lifted up, and the old lady in the Haiqing robe was helped into the house by Mama Huai, followed by the Fu steward.
"What's wrong with Brother Ming'er's illness, please say it's okay." Old Lady Shen asked bluntly.
Shen Shu stepped forward and helped the old lady to sit down in front of the chair closest to Shen Jinming.
When the doctor saw Mrs. Shen, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "When I was giving the young master an injection, I found that the young master's head disease was a little strange, in the deep forest in the east of our Yunjiang, there is a poisonous weed called hot cordata, if it is taken by mistake, it will cause dizziness and swelling in the eyebrows, and the symptoms of the young master are very similar......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the decoction: "After the inspection, there is a hot cordata in the bowl and this bowl of medicine, and the old lady is asked to see that if the young master is asked to drink it again, within ten days, the young master will become a stupid person!" β
"Bang-"
The tray in Fuxi's hand fell to the ground in an instant.
The white porcelain medicine bowl shattered to pieces on the vermilion tray, and the medicine spilled to the ground.
Huaiyue took a step back in shock, looked at the medicinal juice on the ground, and turned white.
Even people who are accustomed to seeing wind and waves, such as Mama Huai and Steward Fu, have changed their faces greatly.
Shen Shu knelt on the ground at the right time, and said in a deep voice: "Grandmother, last night my granddaughter rested in Hui'an Garden, and I couldn't sleep, so I went to your house to watch the rain hit the plantains, but I didn't expect to see a man jump into the yard in the middle of the night, and blow medicine into the small meditation room where his granddaughter lived with a bamboo pipe.
The granddaughter didn't know what kind of medicine the person was blowing, so she didn't dare to make a sound, but then she heard the doctor say that someone had poisoned the third brother, and the granddaughter estimated that the person who went to the granddaughter's room last night must have blown poison!
To be able to attack the granddaughter and the third brother at the same time, entering and exiting Hui'an Garden is like entering a no-man's land, that person must have an internal response in the house, maybe it is hidden in this temple, and the granddaughter has let the welfare quietly make people go down the mountain to tell Daddy, before Daddy brings someone here, please also ask Grandmother to preside over the overall situation! β
