Chapter 100: Loach stewed tofu

"A thousand days drunk?" Noah asked suspiciously, "What do you say?" ”

The old soup cleared his throat, and said with a solemn face: "If you are poisoned by this poison, you will be unconscious like drunk, and you will be seriously unconscious, weak and weak, and it will be difficult to walk, so it is called 'Thousand Days of Drunkness'." ”

Noah said with great certainty: "Yes, if it had not been for the bubbles that dragged me outwards and awakened me in my ears, I would not have been awake at all, and I would not have even felt the burning of the fire. ”

"What a guts! Is it all lively? ”

Bailijiu stood up with a "pout", regardless of the injury on his shoulder, pulled up his clothes, turned around and left: "Shouldn't the kitchen be put in order?" ”

"Nine masters, slow down!" The old soup man hurriedly stopped his way: "Ninth Master, this thousand days of drunkenness is not poison, but a kind of incense!" ”

"Incense?" Baili Jiu paused.

The old soup nodded categorically: "This thousand-day drunkenness was originally a habitual trick used by flower thieves on the rivers and lakes, take a hollow bamboo, stuff the ignited thousand-day drunkenness into it, poke the window paper, and then blow gently, the poisonous smoke will float into the house along the bamboo pipe, making the woman weak and can do whatever she wants." ”

"There is a bubble guard in Yinian Hall, it has always been alert, who can have such good skills, can come in unknowingly and not be discovered by it?" Bailijiu asked suspiciously.

Noah's heart moved, and then she suddenly remembered the charcoal in her house, felt that the smell was a little strange, and asked in surprise: "Does this thousand days of drunkenness smell a little sweet?" ”

The old soup man nodded: "Exactly." ”

"Do you have a clue?"

"The charcoal I lit last night was a little different, and it smelled different from usual. Originally, I just thought that I had changed to new charcoal, so I didn't take it to heart, but fortunately, I covered my mouth and nose, and the poisoning was not too deep. Noah took the cloak and draped it over Bailijiu, carefully avoiding the burns on his shoulders.

The old soup man didn't wait for Baili Jiu to open his mouth and preemptively said, "Where is the charcoal placed?" I'll take a look. ”

"It's always piled up in the utility room, and the girls are using it now."

The old soup man went out for a while and then turned back, clapped his hands, shook his head, and said, "There is nothing wrong with the spare charcoal in the utility room. ”

Baili Jiu frowned and thought for a moment, and commanded in a deep voice outside the door: "Yuanbao!" ”

Yuan Bao immediately came in, his hands scorched.

"You go to the room of Ji Pozi and a few people now, check if there is any charcoal that has not been burned out, and take some of it."

Yuan Bao didn't ask much, immediately took the order, returned after a while, handed the two pieces of charcoal in his hand to Bailijiu, and reported: "There is a little charcoal scattered next to the charcoal stove in Ji Pozi's house. Everything in the furnace has burned out. ”

The old soup took it in his hand and gently rubbed the surface with his fingers, and then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly: "It is indeed mixed with a small amount of Qiantian drunkenness, but the amount is very small, and at most it causes drowsiness, which is not as serious as the poisoning of bellflower and Aunt Lin." ”

At this time, Noah was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, and she was cold to the bone. This discovery undoubtedly told her that the poison of a thousand days of drunkenness was caused by the people around her, not outsiders.

Because, all she uses is the best silver frost charcoal, and if she is poisoned alone, there is nothing suspicious. And the bellflower and the morning and evening are using a kind of charcoal, this poison is obviously put on the charcoal, outsiders simply can't predict the prophet in advance, calculate which part of the bellflower will use, why is this thousand days drunk poison divided into severity?

The man had considered the dosage before poisoning, and increased the amount of Noya and Kikyo to death, and the rest of the people only mixed a small amount in the charcoal, just to prevent them from waking up too early, so as not to spoil their good deeds!

Even the bubbles in Noya's house should have been drunk for a thousand days, so they didn't notice that someone had set fire, but thanks to the hot steam of charcoal, the bubbles slept close to the ground, so the poisoning was not deep!

This murderer is too cunning, he should have wanted to disguise himself as a victim, and the amount of poison used is small, in case the incident will not arouse the suspicion of others, who expected that the smart was mistaken by the clever, but showed the horse's feet!

The murderer, it goes without saying, Chao San, Dusk Si, Ji Pozi, one of the three!

"That kid should be trustworthy, she is the apprentice of the old soup head, and she won't do such a thing." Baili Jiu also immediately figured out the clues, and first ruled out the suspicions of Twilight.

Noah's mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't keep her mind sober. After being reminded by Baili Jiu, she thought of this, she treated them well, no grudges, if she was not instructed by others, why would she be so vicious to put herself and the bellflower to death?

She must find out the murderer behind the scenes and give Kikyo justice!

Noah clenched her fists tightly, her eyes almost erupted with anger, and she got up angrily, and was about to rush out regardless of it, but was stopped and hugged by Baili Jiu.

"Don't be impulsive just yet!" Nine ways in a hundred miles.

"I can't calm down!"

"Leave this matter to me, okay? I'll investigate! ”

Noya turned her head to look at Bailijiu with a sincere face, and shook her head without thinking: "No, I want to come in person." ”

It's not that she can't believe Bai Lijiu's ability, but she thinks of Zhang Lingtong's death yesterday, and knows that this fire is not simple, it may not be an ordinary family grudge, it is very likely that Zhang Lingtong leaked the matter of asking him about the Fang family's case under the pressure of that person, which aroused the suspicion and jealousy of some people, thus causing himself to be killed.

She didn't dare to risk letting Baili Jiu meddle in this matter, because he was too cunning, what if Shun Teng found out his background?

So, she directly and resolutely refused. She wants to personally investigate the murderer behind the scenes and seek justice for herself and Kikyo.

Baili Jiu stared at her eyes for a long time, and his expression was very complicated: "Without further ado, while she is caught off guard, now is the best time to start interrogation, otherwise it will give that person a chance to breathe, and if he is mentally prepared, and then destroy part of the incriminating evidence, things will become complicated." ”

Noah nodded: "I have my own way." ”

Baili Jiu instructed Yuan Bao to summon all the three of Chao San, Dusk Si and Ji Pozi to the hall, and then according to Nuoya's wishes, let the subordinates go to the kitchen to get a pot of eels, and put it in a conspicuous position in the middle of the hall.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Baili Jiu was busy checking the fire in Yinian Hall, and told the chief manager to arrange for someone to repair Noya's room as soon as possible. Noah didn't want to move out of Yinian Hall for the time being, so she could only pack up the side houses that had not been affected by the fire and live there temporarily, waiting for the main house to be repaired before moving back.

Noya sat on the chair of the master in the middle, and the three of them came in with their heads down, and immediately noticed the atmosphere in the room, serious and depressing, I don't know why, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Noah always kept an eye on the three people's every move, not letting go of the slightest detail between her eyebrows.

Her throat was smoky, somewhat hoarse, took a sip of tea, slowly put it down, and then said in a dumb voice: "Today, I invite you to eat a famous dish, called loach drill tofu." Have you ever heard of it? ”

The three of them all felt inexplicable, looking at each other, I don't know how after a fire, at such a moment, why Noya actually had the leisure to invite herself to eat?

Morning and evening did not speak, Ji Pozi smiled wryly: "The old slave has heard of it." ”

"Oh?" Nuoya raised her eyelids and glanced at Ji Pozi: "What kind of doorway, you say come and listen." ”

"It is said that large pieces of cold tofu and loaches are boiled in hot soup, and the loaches can't stand the heat, so they all get into the tofu, so it's called loach drill tofu."

Noah nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”

She took another sip of tea slowly and methodically, and said to the three people: "When I was in Linlang Pavilion, the old bustard also had a trick to deal with the disobedient sister, called 'loach drill tofu', but this loach was replaced with yellow eel, and the tofu was replaced by a person." ”

"Huh?" The three of them couldn't help but exhale softly, and couldn't help but shrink back.

The corners of Noya's mouth smiled slightly, with three points of coldness: "The method is the same, that is, to peel the person clean, put it into a wooden barrel with the yellow eel or loach, and slowly heat the water, guess the yellow eel is really too hot to stand, what will it do?" ”

At this time, the three of them realized that the master didn't want to talk about food with him when he called him in, but because he was afraid that he would make himself into the thing on the plate! In an instant, they all softened.

Noya sighed softly: "The most miserable girl I have ever seen, her temperament is too strong, she would rather die than obey, and as a result, she was drilled into the stomach by a yellow eel alive and pierced her intestines......"

"Ahh The three of them were all frightened, and they glanced at the eels that were crowded and swam away in the basin, and they were terrified and trembling like chaff!

Seeing that the time had come, Noya changed the conversation and changed the topic: "Kikyo is injured and is still unconscious, even if it is better, it may leave a lifelong regret." Therefore, I will never let go of the arsonist, and this eel is for her today. ”

All three of them looked up suddenly, their faces full of surprise.

"Arson? Is the master saying that this fire was deliberately set by someone? Ji Pozi asked in surprise.

Noya looked at her coldly: "Could it be that the charcoal in the charcoal stove burned to the outside by itself?" ”

Ji Pozi heard that Noya spoke in the wrong tone, not as amiable as before, and immediately shut up in recognition.

"This fire is not only man-made, but the murderer who almost killed us all in the fire is now among the three of you." Noya said word by word, with a cold hatred like a cold winter moon, and narrowed her eyes.

The three of them were even more surprised when they heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and they all leaned to the side silently and kept a distance.

Noah sneered in his heart, this person is quite good at acting, and his words and deeds are seamless.

She tilted her head back slightly, and closed her eyes a little tiredly: "I ask you, who added the charcoal in the various rooms last night?" ”

He bowed his head and said, "It was added by the two of us." ”

"Together?"

"The charcoal in the young lady's house I added, Chao San is responsible for our house and Ji's mother's house." Twilight whispered.

"Good, good!" Noya said three good words in a row, coldly picked up the tea cup in his hand and threw it on the ground, and said sharply: "Twilight Fourth, do you still refuse to admit it until now?" ”
