Chapter 018: Poison in the Pot

It was a Hidden Arrow the thickness of a pinky finger.

The Hidden Arrows are not exquisitely made, but they look extremely sharp.

There are also some strange totems engraved on the handle of the arrow, which does not look like an object of the Great Zhou Dynasty at first glance.

Shen Shu asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

"This is the dark arrow that suddenly shot into my neck when I was in the cold pool yesterday."

Shen Jinming said for so long, his breath was a little panting, and he put the sleeve arrow into Shen Shu's hand: "Yesterday, there should be a drug hidden in this dark arrow, after I was shot, my whole body was weak and I couldn't move, so I fell into the cold pool." ”

Shen Shu suddenly realized, no wonder the third brother was not weak in kung fu and could still swim in the water, but he almost died.

She picked up the sleeve arrow and looked at it carefully, and was even more puzzled: "What does this sleeve arrow have to do with relieving the man in white?" ”

Shen Jinchao hooked her fingers: "Come here with your ears, I'll tell you what to do." ”

Shen Shu hurriedly walked to his side, and heard him say: "Since you know poison, find a way to apply some poison on this, stab me again, and then go to Daddy......"

Shen Shu only listened to the beginning, frowned deeply, and shook his head resolutely: "If it doesn't work, the residual poison in your body has not been cleared, if you add new poison, your body will not be able to hold it." ”

"It's okay, this bit of poison doesn't hurt anything...... What Daddy decided to do, the eight horses couldn't pull it back, only the bitter meat plan......"

Before Shen Jinming finished speaking, he saw that Shen Shu had already clenched his sleeve arrow and took a few steps back suddenly.

"Third brother, since this matter started because of me, it should be smoothed out by me, I will do the poisoning, and you will be responsible for the follow-up. I'm going to find a way to poison myself now, but it's just a poison, you wait! ”

After saying this, Shen Shu turned around and ran, for fear of being stopped by the third brother.

"Little Four! Little Four! ”

Shen Jinming hurriedly stood up and wanted to chase-

A burst of sweetness in his throat made him dizzy.

Shen Jinming thought of what he was going to do next, and he didn't dare to be reckless.

He forced himself to luck, suppressed the blood rolling in his chest, and sat down with a complicated expression.

*

Shen Shu was holding a sleeve arrow in his hand, and as soon as he ran into Shen Jinming's small courtyard, he saw a table in the courtyard, on which many objects were placed messily.

Fuxi was cleaning up the things on the table, and when he saw Shen Shu approaching, he explained with a smile: "Girl, this is the medicinal herbs, medicinal powder, and incense ash that were found from the slaves in the courtyard...... But everything that was related to the poison, Mama Huai ordered someone to search it up and hand it over to the doctor to examine one by one. ”

Shen Shu hurriedly swept over the things on the table—

Some are not medicines at all, and some are even medicines...... They are all just ordinary medicinal herbs, and none of them are poisonous weeds.

She raised her eyes and asked, "How's Mama's investigation?" Can you find out who drugged it? ”

Fuxi nodded, and shook his head again: "I heard that the doorkeeper of Hui'an Garden has almost checked it, and someone did tempt her to drink medicinal wine in advance." But in this courtyard, the third young master's poison has not yet been found out. ”

Shen Shu's heart sank.

The person who poisoned the third brother had the intention of not being discovered.

With the amount of medicine she had smelled before, only continued use of poison could achieve the effect.

Shen Shu originally thought that Mama Huai here would definitely be able to lead someone to search for the remaining hot cordata, so she could use this to poison herself "accidentally".

But she didn't expect-

After so long, Mama Huai hasn't found out yet!

Shen Shu estimated the time, and Daddy asked Vice General Zhao to go to the mountain to transfer troops, and at this time, I am afraid that he has already begun to go up the mountain.

Now the poison in the courtyard of the clothed man has been taken away by Daddy.

Poison in the courtyard of the man in white - she couldn't go in and get it.

At the moment, only the third brother will have hot cordata in the yard, which can help her.

She didn't have time to delay any longer.

Thinking so, Shen Shu hurriedly condensed and carefully recalled the scene when he saw Fuxi decoction under the porch before-

The medicine in the medicine bag is good.

The medicine in the medicine pot was poisoned.

The medicine was fried by Fuxi, and since Fuxi is here at the moment, it means that he has been ruled out of suspicion.

The medicine is fine, the person is fine, that is......

"Has Grandma ever asked the doctor to inspect the medicine pot and filter cloth?" Shen Shu hurriedly asked.

Fuxi nodded as a matter of course: "Naturally, I have checked it, not only the medicine pot and filter cloth, but also the medicine bowl, spoon, and chopsticks." Every time the filter cloth, medicine bowl and other objects are decocted, they will be replaced with clean ones, and the doctor has checked them, and there is no problem. The medicine pot was also checked, except for the residual medicine scale on the wall of the pot, there was some residual poison, and nothing was found. ”

Shen Shu glanced at the upper room: "Where's grandmother?" But it's still there? ”

"The old lady took Mama Huai and the doctor to the side of Hui'an Garden, and asked the little one to bring someone to wait for you and the third young master to come back in this courtyard. At this time, the things in the courtyards on both sides are almost all placed, just wait for the doctor to inspect the things found in Hui'an Garden, and take the suspect into custody, and we will go home with the old lady. ”

Hearing this, Shen Shu tightened the sleeve arrow in his hand and looked around.

She saw a medicine pot and other things, stacked at the door of the small kitchen not far away.

At this moment, the servants in the courtyard were busy, and Shen Shu casually said a few perfunctory words to Fuxi, and then walked to the door of the small kitchen quietly.

She squatted down, picked up the medicine pot and looked at it carefully—

This is a casserole made of clay and sand that can be seen everywhere.

Judging from the edges and appearance, the medicine pot is still new.

A faint smell of blood wafted out of the pot.

Shen Shu is no stranger to this taste-

It was the bloody gas of hot cordata.

Shen Shu looked carefully at the inside of the pot in the sunlight.

The inside of the pot has been thoroughly cleaned, except for some dark dirt on the wall of the pot, no residue of medicinal juice has been found.

She leaned close to the mouth of the pot and sniffed the bloody smell again—

The taste is very pure, and I don't smell any other medicinal smell mixed with it.

Shen Shu's eyes darkened.

If the smell in this medicine pot is caused by the residue of the medicinal juice after the previous decoction, it will definitely be mixed with other medicinal flavors.

And at this moment—

This smell of blood, so rich and pure......

It is enough to prove that the smell of medicine is not the residual smell of the scale, but the newly dyed!

Thinking so, Shen Shu's eyebrows moved slightly, and her curved fingers knocked back and forth on the medicine pot.

When she knocked on the bottom of the pot-

"Empty...... Empty ......" An imperceptible sound came from the bottom of the pot.

There's something hidden at the bottom of this pot!

This thought together—

Shen Shu directly put her hand into the medicine pot and rubbed the bottom of the pot.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that this medicine pot seemed to be deeper than the ordinary medicine pot, and the diameter of the pot mouth was also a little narrower than the common pot.

Her fingers rubbed the bottom of the pot—

The material of the clay and sand is already rough, and the bottom of the pot is not very smooth.

With Fang Cai's inference, she carefully distinguished it with her fingertips, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be extremely dense and subtle holes in the bottom of the pot, hidden in the slightly convex lines.

Shen Shuxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

She looked up at the kitchen, which had been cleaned up, the stove had gone out for leaving, and the copper kettle was still faintly steaming.

Shen Shu stood up with the pot and walked in.

She walked over to the stove and tested the temperature of the copper kettle, which was quite hot.

He hurriedly poured some hot water from it into the medicine pot and shook it.

As she expected—

A thick smell of blood soaked out of the hot water!

Shen Shu's heart was suddenly in his heart.

Presumably, there is something in the mezzanine of this medicine pot that is leached out of the hot cordata juice, but whenever the medicine pot is heated by water, the venom will soak in through those small holes.

Who would have thought that this ordinary clay clay pot would have such an exquisite mechanism.

With this pot, even if no one does the internal response, as long as you continue to use it to decoction.

The venom of the hot cordata will continue to enter the third brother's medicine!

Shen Shu didn't have time to investigate in detail the conspiracy behind this medicine pot.

It is imperative that she first solve the current predicament-

lest Daddy and the man in white have an irreparable conflict.

Shen Shu continued to shake the medicine pot, so that the hot water and the poison of the hot cordata at the bottom of the pot fused more closely.

Wait until the flavor of the hot cordata in the pot is strong enough -

Shen Shu took a deep breath and drank it resolutely and decisively!

The thick bloody breath entered the throat -

Shen Shu resisted the urge to vomit, put down the medicine pot, stiffened her face, pretended to be as casual as possible, and walked out of the kitchen......
