Chapter XVII: Poisons and Tonics
While waiting for the capital's reply, Yunluo also relied on the fact that the people didn't dare to do anything to her, and went to the streets every day to join in the fun.
"Miss, the people from the Heavenly Master's Mansion have come down the mountain."
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy found Yunluo who was wandering around on the street, and several people glanced at each other and rushed to the shop.
"Are you from the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" Yun Luo looked at the young man sitting on the rattan chair and asked, the young man nodded, and said, "Below is the current disciple of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Yu." β
Yun Luo tugged at Rong Zhouyi's sleeve beside her, and whispered, "What do you want to ask, ask quickly." β
He nodded, stepped forward and hugged his fists at Zhang Yu and asked, "Can you tell me about this forbidden drug Yun Yangsan?" β
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "This Yun Yang San was made by the previous Heavenly Master fifty years ago, but because this medicine is quite yin, it is listed as a banned medicine. The previous Heavenly Master also died for this, and the secret recipe was locked in the Heavenly Master Pavilion, so it stands to reason that no one should easily find out. β
Yun Luo pursed her lips and said, "Now not only have people found out, but they have also used this medicine to kill many people at the foot of your Dragon Tiger Mountain. And involved in the royal strife, you really don't know about this matter in the Heavenly Master's Mansion? β
"This must have nothing to do with my Heavenly Master's Mansion, as for whether anyone has seen the secret recipe and made it privately, it is unknown." Zhang Yu was not shocked, and Rong Zhou also pressed Yun Luo, who was a little angry, and asked, "Then two months ago, were there any disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who were expelled or disappeared?" β
Zhang Jue seemed to be recalling, and Yun Luo took the opportunity to interject: "Didn't this fake heavenly master come here more than a month ago, you asked him what he did two months ago?" β
"Stupid, two months ago, people began to disappear in and out of the city, and corpses appeared from time to time during this period. The death of the deceased is no different from the later one, which shows that the deceased was killed by Yun Yangsan before, and the only one who has this poison is the false heavenly master. β
Rong Zhou also patted her little head, Yun Luo nodded and smiled: "You are still smart." β
Qingchuan withdrew his disdainful gaze and turned to sit next to the counter. Rong Zhou didn't see how good it was, so he really should let Miss see more of the other excellent men.
"You masters and servants are stupid, otherwise Miss Yun wouldn't always think that her master was smart." Ye Qi came over and whispered, Qingchuan looked at him, and said sarcastically: "You masters and servants are all stupid, and you don't have the least heart to defend against people." β
Ye Qi was choked and his face was ugly, and Qing Chuan smiled slightly proudly.
"Two months ago, there was indeed some change in the door, when the Heavenly Master's Mansion was robbed, but because nothing was lost, and there was no storm, so I didn't dig into it."
Zhang Yu thought about it, and such an incident happened two months ago, and I don't know if it has anything to do with this fake heavenly master.
"Poof, you're still a big sect, and you can't even prevent a thief." Yun Luo covered her mouth and laughed in a low voice, Zhang Yu frowned slightly and did not lose her temper.
Rong Zhou also felt that the attitude of their Heavenly Master Mansion was a little too submissive, but he still held down the little girl who was laughing forward and backwards, and then stared at Zhang Yu and asked, "So is there an antidote to Yun Yangsan?" Is this a chronic poison or something else? β
"This poison is a seizure within half an hour of taking it, and it makes people slowly age until their lives are exhausted. There is also an antidote to this, and it is very difficult to do it with taro flowers. β
Rong Zhou also looked at the girl beside him and humbly asked: "Is it difficult to find taro winter flowers?" He was a little worried, because it was very likely that the missing people were still alive, but it could not be ruled out that some of them would be hit by Yunyangsan, and if the antidote was difficult to make, it would mean that there might be people dead.
Yun Luo crossed her legs and grinned: "This taro winter flower is a high-grade and hard-to-find medicinal material for others, but for this girl, it is like a weed in the mountains, and it is readily available." β
After speaking, she glanced at the pharmacy shopkeeper who was standing on the side, and then got up and stretched: "Since you're done asking, let's go." Just saw that earrings so beautiful. β
Qingchuan got up and was about to go out with the young lady, but Zhang Yu suddenly said: "That thief is not weak, and he can come and go freely in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, why do you want to swagger and kill people in this place?" β
Rong Zhou also paused for a moment, slowly spoke, and said: "Killing people is nothing more than several possibilities, a whim, revenge or ...... Murder. β
Yun Luo turned back in confusion and looked at the two of them: "It's impossible to kill people for money, right?" Xiaoliu said that the dead were all ordinary people, and even some were villagers, what wealth could they have? β
"Ordinary people? Can you ask Xiaoliu to investigate the situation in the missing person's home again? β
Rong Zhouyi's mind was already deep in thought, and Yun Luo raised her chin at Xiao Liu and motioned for him to investigate. Xiao Liu didn't waste time at all, and immediately went out to find out the news.
Yun Luo stood at the door and looked at him like that, seeing that he hadn't come back to his senses yet, she couldn't help but reach out and pull his sleeve: "Don't think about it yet, wait for Xiaoliu to check and then use your brain, go to see the earrings first." β
"Huh? Well, good. Rong Zhou also came back to his senses and saw the little girl pulling his sleeve and being coquettish, and he couldn't accept it for a while. This girl seems to be usually unseen, and when she sees someone, she can't help but be close to someone. Affectionate titles and pulling sleeves at every turn are not something that everyone can do, if he had put it in the past, he would definitely sneer at such a woman.
But in the face of Yunluo, he felt that this girl was so natural and cute......
"Girl, after buying earrings, let's go to the yamen." Rong Zhou also hurriedly retracted his thoughts, tried his best to get rid of the abnormal thoughts in his head, and shifted his attention to the case.
Yun Luo turned her head and asked, "Huh?" What to do in Yamen? β
"You forgot, Guo Yuanyuan's body doesn't know where it is, what's wrong. When the time comes, let Yeqi go and feel the way, find the morgue, and we will come back to check the body in the evening. β
Yun Luo then remembered that there was another corpse lost, and she nodded in agreement when she was in a good mood.
Qingchuan took a full view of the interaction between the two in the back, how could he feel like the young lady was being eaten? He felt he had to do something about it to prevent it from happening. And Ye Qi on the other side thought the same thing in his heart, he thought that his master was a prince, so he naturally wanted to match that kind of gentle and polite woman, and he was also gearing up to find a way to prevent the close relationship between the two......
Yun Luo didn't buy earrings in the end, but followed Rong Zhouyi directly to the yamen.
The three of them were in the light, and Yeqi quietly climbed over the wall from the darkness.
"The presence of the third prince is really flattering to the lower officials." Wu Jiang hurriedly welcomed the three of them to the main hall in the backyard of the yamen, Yun Luo was admiring the flowers and pulling the grass in the courtyard, and the matter of clichΓ©s and delaying time was handed over to Rong Zhouyi.
"Speaking of which, this son is also really curious about this case, I wonder if Lord Wu has found out the residence of the Heavenly Master? Has there been any progress on this case? β
Rong Zhou also raised the shelf, Yun Luo glanced sideways, and said to Qing Chuan: "Not to mention, his posture as a noble son is quite impressive." β
"Miss, this is used to describe a woman. It's time for you to read some normal books, the lady of the province always says that you don't have any ink on your chest. Qingchuan was also a little helpless, Miss only liked to watch those anecdotes, secret history, medical techniques, Gu techniques and Jianghu incidents, and the rest were all forgotten and didn't look at them.
Yun Luo glared at him dissatisfied, and continued to stare at Rong Zhou.
"The people from the Yamen are investigating, this matter is too weird, and there will be no major progress for a while." Wu Jiang was vague, and Rong Zhou didn't ask.
On the contrary, Wujiang took the opportunity to test two more sentences: "I heard the official say that I have seen the third prince go to the Forbidden Mountain." The terrain of that place is complicated, and even the old hunters are easy to get lost, so it is better for the son to go less. β
Rong Zhou also looked at him and nodded in agreement: "What the adults said is that this last time my son almost got lost in it. Speaking of which, it wasn't for anything else to go into the mountain, but when Ben Gongzi was unconscious, he was thrown into the mountain and threw away a small object. This object was left to me by my mother before her death, so I thought of going into the mountains to find it again. β
Wu Jiang swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and he changed his words and said: "But I haven't found the way, and I've always been wandering at the foot of the mountain, which is really a pity." β
"I see, that's a pity."
Wu Jiang was obviously relieved, and at this time, Rong Zhou was already sure in his heart that Wu Jiang must have a close relationship with the disappearance case and the Heavenly Master.
It's just who is taking advantage of whom between them? What is the purpose? Where does the secret passage in the mountains lead? What is the sound of a low bell?
"Huh? This is...... Camellias. It's still a rare red camellia, it's so beautiful. Yun Luo's exclamation made Rong Zhou also look away, and Master Wu smiled and said, "This is a gift from a friend, Xia Guan doesn't know much about this kind of thing, but the wife of the family likes it." β
"Oh...... Can I pick one? Yun Luo looked at the camellia in that column and was very tempted, and Rong Zhou also turned his head sideways. Master Wu nodded and smiled: "Of course you can, the girl can pick it if she likes it." β
So when the seventh day of the night told them to leave, Yunluo was jumping with two camellias in her hands.
"This is not a camellia, it is a medicinal herb. Pure tonic, but expensive. Yun Luo tiptoed and inserted a flower into Rong Zhouyi's head, and he took the flower down a little helplessly: "Then what did you say about a flower just now?" β
"What do you think? Why did he have such expensive medicinal herbs? This medicine is good for the human body and is more nourishing than ginseng and the like. The price of one plant is not less than 10,000 gold, but he has raised so many. β
Yun Luo shook the flower in her hand, thinking that she would just go back and cook him a bowl of tonic decoction, or make a small pill. It's not that she doesn't have this medicinal herb at home, but she can't get it until she gets home.
At the moment, she couldn't take him back, but this black lord did her a great favor.
"A prefect won't have so much spare money to buy expensive medicinal herbs, so his money ......"
Yun Luo came back to his senses, snatched back the flower in his hand, and said, "Look at the soil in which he grows medicinal herbs, as well as the habits of this medicinal herb, these were all bought and planted about a month ago." β
Rong Zhou also paused, and the clues in his brain seemed to be connected together.
"You're amazing."
He couldn't help but reach out and rub the little girl's head, Yun Luo touched and was rubbed up her hair and looked at him with disgust.
