Chapter Eighty-Six: The Taboo in the House
At this time, Gu Yu escorted a man into the door and threw him to the ground.
"Miss Su, I brought it to you."
Seeing this, Su Xiaojin's eyes turned and the corners of his mouth were bent, expressing satisfaction. Yes, she just asked Gu Yu to catch the person who did the soup medicine.
As she expected, the mastermind behind the scenes did not do it himself, but just bought off a subordinate of the medicinal diet.
When Meng Shi and the others saw this subordinate, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, but they quickly returned to normal and said coldly: "What does Miss Su mean?" ”
"Let him speak for himself." Su Xiaojin replied with a smile.
"That decoction is the hands and feet of the villain, please forgive the Hou Ye." Unexpectedly, the subordinate fell to his knees and confessed his guilt.
Su Xiaojin didn't expect him to admit it so readily, and he felt faintly bad in his heart, so he hurriedly asked, "Say, who instructed you to do this?" ”
"There was no one else's instigation, it was the villain who did it." The man replied quickly, as if bent on death.
"One person? Scold! What kind of hatred do you have with Hou Ye, and you want to harm him like this?! Su Xiaojin sneered, obviously not believing the words of that subordinate.
Meng Shi hooked his lips quietly, and said at the right time: "Since the thief has already bowed his head and confessed, he naturally has to deal with it." Dare to murder Master Hou, it's really impatient! Come, escort him to the government for me!" ”
"Wait, things haven't been figured out yet, what's the hurry? Could it be ...... Weak heart? Su Xiaojin didn't follow, met Meng's eyes, and said coldly. This matter is obviously instigated by someone behind it, what's the use of just disposing of this minion?
"You say that this palace has a weak heart? Joke! Okay, since Miss Su wants to figure it out, let's ask. Meng Shi looked calm, as if he was not worried about what the man would say.
Before Su Xiaojin could speak, the subordinate took the lead and said: "No need, all this was done by the villain, and he was not instructed by anyone, I don't want to say the reason, if you want to send it to the government, you can send it!" ”
Hearing this, Su Xiaojin fell silent, it seems that this person has some handle in the hands of the Meng family, otherwise how could he be in such a hurry to confess?
I have to say that this stepmother's methods are really clever!
"How is it, Miss Su, do you have anything to say now?" Meng Shi stared at Su Xiaojin with interest, and his smile was slightly cold.
Su Xiaojin was still silent, and Meng Shi didn't wait for her to respond, and said directly: "Come on, take this traitor down to me!" ”
Subsequently, Meng Shi took Tang Yan and Tang Fan and left Tang Muchen's courtyard.
Su Xiaojin looked at the high-spirited backs of the three people, and couldn't help but hate itchy. The clue that I finally found is now broken again! The current situation is really unfavorable for them.
"It seems that this matter is inseparable from the three of them, you usually have to pay more attention to the diet and daily life of the Hou Ye, don't let the bad guys take advantage of it." Su Xiaojin lowered his voice and said to Zhu Ling, looking around cautiously.
Now is a special time, we must be cautious in everything, and don't let people overhear the corner.
"Bamboo Spirit understands." As he spoke, Zhu Ling nodded at Su Xiaojin, indicating understanding. Now the mastermind behind the murder of Hou Ye has not been found, and he can only take one step at a time.
"I will continue to investigate this matter, please rest assured Miss Su. There is also that Meng Shi, who is obviously coming for Miss Su. Such a bad posture of the comer, and ask Miss Su to be careful. The old song kindly reminded him.
Su Xiaojin bowed slightly, revealing a knowing smile.
"By the way, Gu Yu, I have a few precious medicinal herbs here that you need to find. Originally, I wanted to find it myself, but I still had to keep an eye on Su Yaoge's side and Hou Ye's side. So I'm going to ask you to find medicine for me, okay? Su Xiaojin remembered something, and tentatively asked the opinion of the ancient ballad.
I saw that the ancient rumor was slightly stunned at first, but soon came back to his senses. Without saying a word, he saluted Su Xiaojin, and then bowed respectfully and half-bent, without any superfluous expression on his face.
"Miss Su said bluntly, I am naturally willing to serve such small things. It's just that during my absence, Master Hou will trouble Miss Su to be more attentive. Gu Yu pursed his lips, looking like he was sent by Su Xiaojin.
This made Su Xiaojin a little embarrassed, in order to find medicine for the ancient rumors who did not understand pharmacology, she seriously wrote the location and living environment of the precious medicinal materials on the rice paper, hoping to provide effective help to the ancient rumors.
"I've written the name, appearance and color of the herbs on this, if you still don't understand anything, you can come and ask me at any time, then I'll wait for your good news." Su Xiaojin had an expectant look between his eyebrows and eyes, and said very boldly.
Gu Yu stared at the words on the rice paper with a serious expression, and soon he nodded and disappeared from Su Xiaojin's sight.
The days passed like this, and Tang Muchen's illness was due to Su Xiaojin's careful conditioning, which improved significantly, showing a trend of gradual improvement.
On this day, Tang Muchen drank the medicine and lay down in the afternoon to rest. Su Xiaojin had nothing to do, so he walked around the Hou Mansion.
Suddenly, she saw a strange courtyard, which seemed to be very old, and a piece of paper was pasted on the door that said "No entry".
"Whose room is this? It looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, and it's not allowed to enter without permission. Su Xiaojin stood at the door, carefully looking at the room, his heart full of doubts.
As soon as she approached the compound, she vaguely felt that no one had moved recently. And she noticed that there were very few slaves around this room, even passing by, what was going on?
After standing for a while, Su Xiaojin couldn't think of a reason, so he turned around and left.
She wanted to pretend that she didn't know about it, but the more she suppressed the thought, the more she couldn't help but be curious.
Until one day, when she was concentrating on pharmacology, she occasionally deserted, but was discovered by Zhu Ling.
"What is Miss Su thinking? To think so intriguedly, or when you were studying pharmacology, if you had put it in the past, it would have been absolutely impossible. Zhu Ling raised his eyebrows at Su Xiaojin, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.
Because he was caught, Su Xiaojin didn't want to hide anymore. It just so happened that Zhu Ling was here, and she had served Tang Muchen for so long, she should be clear about this kind of problem.
"Zhu Ling, there is one thing I have never figured out, I don't know if you can tell me a thing or two, so that I can get out of this incomprehensible predicament as soon as possible." Su Xiaojin frowned, pleading with the ancient rumor very seriously.
Zhu Ling was slightly surprised, what was it that made Su Xiaojin frequently distracted when studying pharmacology?
