A cold breeze poured in from the window, the candles in the house flickered, and it was completely dark outside.

Gu Jin bent down to look at the medicine bottle in Chen Xiangsheng's hand, and suddenly frowned, she raised her head and asked the housekeeper: "How much silver can a maid like Xue Ling in the Xiangfu have in a month." ”

The housekeeper's soul hadn't all come back yet, and he was stunned when he heard the words: "Miss Review, it's about five dollars." ”

Five pieces of silver, six taels in that year.

Although the prices in Bianliang City are high, ordinary people have enough silver for three or four taels for a year, and they can live a relatively comfortable life, cutting cloth to make clothes, and buying snacks for the children at home.

Xue Ling's dedication to silver is indeed a lot.

But......

Wei Yuchuan was delicate, and was the first to notice Gu Jin's abnormality: "Second Jin, but what's wrong?" ”

Gu Jin got up, turned around, and nodded at Wei Yuchuan: "Yuchuan, look at this." ”

What was handed to Wei Yuchuan was the medicine bottle.

White jade and gold-edged plain porcelain fetus, carved dragons and phoenixes are skillfully arranged.

However, the porcelain bottle is exquisitely carved like a stunner, not like an ordinary medicine bottle, but like a bottle used by a woman in a family to hold balsam, which should not be what a maid like Xue Ling should have.

Wei Yuchuan opened the bottle and saw that there were still two poisons in it, so he poured the poison into a handkerchief and handed it to Chen Xiangsheng, and handed the porcelain bottle to the housekeeper.

"This medicine shouldn't be Xue Ling's, go and ask, where did it come from?"

The housekeeper got the order, and then went out to ask, Xue Ling is not a high-ranking maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she doesn't have her own room, she lives with the little maids in the kitchen, and she should have a result by asking.

The room fell silent for a while, only Chen Xiangsheng was busy, he was very conscious, and knew that this was the time for him to test the poison.

He took the clean bowl from the table, and used the bowl to catch the rainwater outside the window, and took a little bit of the pill with a silver needle, and then melted it into the bowl.

The water is black.

"What is it?"

Chen Xiangsheng sighed and replied: "Medicine is good medicine, it can indeed cure heart disease, but it is wrapped in a layer of crane top red, so before the heart disease is cured, the person is poisoned." ”

Several people couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, what a vicious method, this is an obvious murder and extermination, and it is clear that it is a perfect strategy. If the white poison umbrella poisoned Prime Minister Wei's family, Xue Ling would have a chance to run away, if he didn't poison the master to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, Xue Ling would definitely take this medicine if she was frightened and had a heart attack, which is the scene like this now: there is no proof of death.

I have to say, quite thoughtful.

After a few words, the housekeeper came back and brought in a little maid and a little maid.

Both of them knew that the maid was the second to answer in the kitchen, and the little maid was sent out by the housekeeper to investigate the mushroom seller, and it seemed that both things had a result.

The maid's name is Yunyue, and the little maid's name is Younong, and she is the concierge of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

First of all, You Nong saluted: "Xiangye, the little one just led the little guy who bought it to the market to find the vendor who bought him to buy mushrooms, the time and quantity are right, and the vendor has no problem." ”

Prime Minister Wei nodded when he heard this, in fact, this was also in their expectations, the people behind the scenes were cunning, and it was indeed unlikely that they would use the vendors who sold mushrooms to poison them, and it should be that Xue Ling mixed the white poison umbrella into the vegetable basket.

After the little maid finished speaking, he arrived at the maid.

Yun Yue leaned over and began to tell the origin of the porcelain vase: "This porcelain vase was brought back last night when Sister Xue Ling returned home, the slave maid looked good and grabbed it to take a look, Sister Xue Ling was a little angry, saying that it was a noble gift from a nobleman, which could cure her illness, and it was difficult to ......change it."

As she spoke, Yunyue began to whimper.

Xue Ling's body has not yet been carried down, which inevitably frightens this young girl.

Gu Jin looked at him lightly and instructed the housekeeper and the little guy: "Carry Xue Ling to the back first." ”

The two of them had to be ordered to leave, and Gu Jin asked again: "Do you know who else is in Xue Ling's family?" ”

Yunyue shook her head with teary eyes, she was young, and she didn't have much time in the mansion, so she didn't know much about Xue Ling.

"Ah, Miss Gu."

Gu Jin turned around when he heard the sound and saw that it was Wei Yuchuan's maid Yancao who called her.

"The deed of the Xue Ling you just ordered."

Gu Jin took it, an envelope with two pieces of stationery inside.

The handwriting on the paper is dignified, it should be written by Mrs. Wei herself, Gu Jin looked at it, and was stunned: "Mrs. ......"

Mrs. Wei frowned, although the deed of the subordinates was written by her own hand, she really didn't have much impression of a maid like Xue Ling, and she was also stunned when she took the deed handed over by Gu Jin.

Xue Ling is not the daughter of a poor family, she is the daughter of a criminal minister, and her family was sold to the Prime Minister's Mansion after being convicted.

Such a maid can't find her family, and it is not written on the deed.

"That's a problem." Mrs. Wei pinched her body and muttered, only mentioned her own family in her words, she died, looking for her family may still be able to find the person behind the scenes, but now she doesn't even know who her family is, how else can she find out.

Gu Jin closed his eyes and returned his Qinghui to the galaxy.

She looked at Prime Minister Wei Cheng, and her tone was full of apology: "This matter is that Gu Er is in a hurry." ”

If she hadn't been in a hurry to ask Xue Ling, she wouldn't have been frightened into taking the deadly poison in a panic.

Prime Minister Wei hurriedly waved his hand, he was a wooden person, and he would not comfort his daughter in the boudoir, but said: "This matter is thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to figure out the girl Xue Ling." ”

Mrs. Wei saw that Prime Minister Wei was embarrassed, and hurriedly helped: "Yes, if it weren't for you, my family wouldn't know how many times they would have been assassinated by Xue Ling." ”

In other words, although he failed to find out the people behind the scenes along with Xue Ling, he still eradicated a scourge for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xue Ling can help others poison her master, and it must not be a matter of one or two days to secretly collude with others.

Now that she's dead, it can be said that she has scared the snake.

Gu Jin looked at the dark sky outside, and suddenly saw the treacherous clouds of Bianliang City, there was a lot of rain, and floods would always come.

She pursed her lips, it was the last idea she could come up with today.

"In fact, not all the clues are broken, and now there are two: this Xueling charge porcelain vase is exquisite and exquisite, at first glance it is a valuable thing, not something that ordinary people should have, if you can follow this thing carefully, you may be able to follow the vine to touch the melon. There is also a matter of the origin of the white poison umbrella, this thing is not in Bianliang City, if it can be transported from outside the city, it will take a lot of effort, it is not a powerful person, Xiang Ye can ask in the city defense army. ”

The city defense military management inspection and investigation, maybe someone has really seen this white poison umbrella.

Prime Minister Wei stroked his beard and nodded again and again, he will send people to investigate these things one by one later, but if he wants to know the truth, I'm afraid it will take some time.

The treacherous clouds of Bianliang City set off a storm on the night of this day.
