Xing Ruyi slept so soundly this night that when he woke up, the sun was past noon. took a bowl of millet porridge that the fox boiled for her, opened the door of the store, and saw Chang Tai standing there like a pillar.

"Brother Chang, so early?"

"It's not early, the sun is past midday." Chang Tai said, pulling out a white handkerchief from his cuff.

opened it, and what was wrapped inside was the silver hairpin that Xing Ruyi took from Honggu's head last night: "I found someone to see it, but as you said, this silver hairpin is dipped in aconitum hairpin, but the method used is very ingenious." In addition, the destruction of the Xu family back then was also clarified, although this Honggu was not the mastermind, but also a participant. ”

"It's good to find out, I don't want to be said to be poisoned." Xing Ruyi buried his head in eating porridge. Chang Tai looked at her appearance and couldn't help but smile,

"Strange to say, how did you know that the poison was on the silver hairpin?"

"Guess." Xing Ruyi said casually.

"Guess?" Chang Tai was stunned for a moment, a little crying and laughing.

"Lie to you, I can really guess what to do with the rouge shop, just set up a stall on the street and write two words."

"Write two words?"

"That's right." Xing Ruyi smiled, dipped his fingers in tea and wrote the word fortune telling on the table. Chang Tai was stunned again, and then he couldn't cry or laugh even more.

"Ruyi, I'm asking you for business."

"Just because it's serious, I'm pretty serious about answering it." Xing Ruyi drank the last mouthful of porridge: "The medicines that Jinluo is drinking now are all prepared by me, and I naturally know better than others." But when Jin Luo fainted last night, I actually smelled the smell of aconitum from her. This aconitum is also a traditional Chinese medicine, which can dilate blood vessels and quickly reduce blood pressure, and is mostly suitable for the elderly, but because it is toxic, the amount should be extremely accurate when used. Jinluo suffered from deficiency, the symptom was dry cough, and most of the injuries were in the lungs, so it also had a name, called tuberculosis. Aconitum is not used to treat this disease. ”

"This, I also consulted Ji Shengtang's shopkeeper Liu, Jinluo's illness really doesn't need to use aconite." Chang Tai nodded,

"It's just—"

"Brother Chang forgot what Ruyi did?" Xing Ruyi pointed to the back of the counter: "Ruyi sells rouge gouache, and often uses some Chinese herbs to make various beauty recipes, and this nose is naturally much more sensitive than ordinary people." Of course, I'm not that godly, if it weren't for the fact that Honggu wanted to blame me and rushed to me, I wouldn't have found out that the smell of aconitum in her bun was stronger, so I uncovered the true secret of this poisoner. Xing Ruyi said, gently peeling off the lower part of the silver hairpin with his fingertips.

Behind a thin layer of silver, there was a cloud of lacquered black.

"Even if you smell the smell of aconitum in Honggu's hair, you can't be sure that it's Honggu's poison. After all, Honggu is the owner of the Red Sleeve Villa, and Jinluo is the most popular girl in the Red Sleeve Villa, so poisoning Jinluo will not do Honggu herself. ”

"Brother Chang, is this tricking me?" Xing Ruyi clasped his hands around his chest.

"No, I'm just curious, if it were me, I would only think that Honggu was framed and blamed, after all, everyone can get this hairpin, such as the two maids next to Honggu."

"It's a pity that I once overheard the dispute between Honggu and Hua Rui, so I knew that Hua Rui was the daughter that Honggu quietly gave birth to, so I deliberately sent my daughter over in order to fight Baihuafang. On the one hand, let her eavesdrop on the secrets of Baihualou, and on the other hand, she can also privately solicit guests for Red Sleeve Villa. When the mother and daughter were arguing, they mentioned a person, and unfortunately, Ruitong also inadvertently talked about Jinluo's life experience, and when describing, he also mentioned the name of that person. What's even more unfortunate is that that person is the name of the murderer who killed the Xu family many years ago, and Jinluo happens to be surnamed Xu, with a single name and a brocade character. Jinluo was originally her stage name. ”

"So you think that Honggu is the murderer who poisoned Jinluo?"

"Wrong!" Xing Ruyi shook his fingers: "I just deduced that Honggu is very likely to be related to the tragedy of the Xu family." In addition, I inquired that Jinluo appeared in the Red Sleeve Villa after the tragedy of the Xu family's annihilation, and the time coincided quite well. However, having said that, Honggu was poisoned not because of what happened back then, but because she knew that she couldn't keep Jinluo. ”

"Oh?" Chang Tai raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised by Xing Ruyi's answer. You must know that even during last night's interrogation, Honggu only admitted that the aconitum in Jinluo's bowl was made by herself, but did not admit that she was poisoned, arguing that she had listened to the words of the quack doctor and treated Jinluo's illness.

Regarding the tragedy of the Xu family many years ago, he insisted that he didn't know anything, but he just happened to have something to do with the murder leader, and these were also the reasons why Chang Tai stayed outside Ruyi Fang early in the morning, and he hoped to get more information from Xing Ruyi.

For now, he's right to wait.

"Hua Rui eloped with Zhang Wurou, which originally gave Honggu a headache. Although Jinluo is the top brand of the Red Sleeve Villa, he is a sick and weak body, and maybe he won't be able to go on stage that day. According to Honggu's previous plan, after completely destroying the Baihualou, she let Hua Rui return to the Red Sleeve Villa and replace the position of the first Oiran in Jinluo Luoyang. Now that Hua Rui eloped with someone, her whereabouts are unknown, Honggu's wishful thinking has failed, and she is naturally very annoyed in her heart, but at this time, Jinluo also put forward a request to redeem herself like Honggu on the grounds that she is seriously ill. Whether it is for the interests of the current Red Sleeve Villa, or to bury the tragedy of the Xu family many years ago, Honggu will never allow Jinluo to leave. After that, Xing Ruyi didn't say it explicitly, but as a fast catcher, and also a fast catcher who knew Yan Niang, Chang Tai naturally knew it very well.

In December of this year, the empress had a whimsical idea to entertain hundreds of officials in the imperial garden. When he was so happy, he ordered the world to bloom by being drunk.

Overnight, the fragrance of flowers overflowed, but only the peony stood proudly in the wind and snow, not spitting a stamen, so it was ordered by the empress to be demoted from the imperial garden, and the sky was burned by fire.

Outside the palace wall, Xing Ruyi looked at the peony that was burned into a charred black shape, and poked the fox with his finger angrily: "Dead fox, stinky fox, and say that you have high mana, but as a result, all the flowers that should not be allowed to bloom have bloomed, but the flowers that should have bloomed have not bloomed." ”

"So what now? Four-color pollen, I've got three. Or, I'll go to the female emperor again and ask her to give an order to Peony alone? Ruitong, who was holding the pollen, squatted next to the peony with a depressed face.

"It's about to burn to a pile of ashes, and then order a fart?" Xing Ruyi was speechless and kicked Rui Tong with his foot: "Please, you are also a demon, a little goblin IQ, okay?" Under the pretense of the mouth of the Son of Heaven, it is enough to do this kind of thing once for your own convenience, and then come, you are not afraid of being punished by God? ”

"What then?" Ruitong's face completely collapsed.

"Cold salad." Xing Ruyi pursed his lips and picked up some from a pile of burnt peony branches: "Sincerely, the golden stone is open, try it with your hard work?" ”
