Mama He was shocked and hurriedly said, "It's the old slave who was negligent." ”

Bai Junzhuo shook his head, "I believe that Mama He is absolutely loyal to grandma, since Yingchun is your person, she will not have harmful thoughts about grandma." Mama He, I want you to take twelve points of energy to take care of grandma, you have to try everything she eats with silver needles, chopsticks and bowls are changed every day, beds and bedding must also be checked clearly, and people with bad intentions must not be allowed to take advantage of it. ”

Mama He hurriedly agreed: "The old slave understands. ”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and said goodbye to Mama He.

She just entered Zou's room and began to pay attention to everything in the room, the incense, the flowers on the windowsill, the teacups, and the blankets on the soft couch, but she didn't find anything wrong, but for some reason she always had a sense of foreboding, but she didn't know where the situation was.

I couldn't help but sigh, maybe she was thinking too much. Besides, there seems to be no reason for anyone to harm her in the White Mansion.

Bai Junzhuo returned to his yard and went to Apricot's room to see her.

As soon as she entered, Apricot sat up from the bed all of a sudden, shrank to the foot of the bed, looked at Bai Junzhuo with tears on her face, and said to her, "Miss, don't come here!" ”

Bai Junzhuo was very puzzled, but he still took two steps forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't come here! Miss, slave beg, don't come here, okay? "Apricot seems to be scared.

Bai Junzhuo stopped and said worriedly: "I heard that you are not feeling well, I just want to see if you are sick." ”

Apricot shook her head and said to Bai Junzhuo: "Miss, the slave maid has been by your side since she was a child, and she is also proficient in medical skills, the slave maid knows what is wrong with her body and knows what medicine to take, so don't worry about it, the slave maid will be fine soon, but please Miss don't come to see the slave maid during this time?" ”

Bai Junzhuo frowned, "Why?" What is wrong with you that you can't tell me? ”

Apricot just shook her head: "Miss, the slave begs you not to ask again, the slave promises to cure her illness, Miss, can you go out first?" ”

Seeing her like this, Bai Junzhuo had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I won't go over, but you also have to get better as soon as possible, if you need my help, just come to me." ”

Apricot barely pulled out a smile and nodded, "Thank you, Miss, the slave will do." ”

Bai Junzhuo turned around and left, and when he walked to the door, a gust of wind blew, and the same rancid smell as last night wafted in.

Bai Junzhuo paused and walked out.

What's going on lately? Why are all the people in the house weird?

*

In the prison of the state capital, Ma Lianzhou was once again awakened by a nightmare, and it took him a while to regain his senses, and he suddenly found a pair of feet in front of him, which seemed to have been standing for a long time.

Ma Lianzhou looked up along his feet, and a colorful mask revealing the coldness of Sen appeared in front of him, he was startled and suddenly knelt down, and kowtowed to the person in front of him: "Less...... Young master, the lower officials are ineffective, beg the young master to spare his life! ”

This person threw out a bamboo pipe and said coldly: "Kill Cha Jinzhi." ”

Ma Lianzhou picked up the bamboo pipe and looked embarrassed: "This thing won't be used by the officials." ”

"Later, he will come and interrogate you, blow on him with this pipe, and you will blow out the poison inside."

Ma Lianzhou immediately nodded: "Xiaguan understands." ”

The masked man let out a slight "um" and asked, "What did you do with the letters I contacted you before?" ”

Ma Lianzhou said: "Young master, don't worry, all those letters are hidden by me in a very hidden place, and no one will find them." ”

The masked man suddenly pulled Ma Lianzhou's shirt and lifted him up, and said to him gloomily: "Hide? Are you going to keep these things and threaten me with them? ”

Ma Lianzhou looked afraid: "The lower officials don't dare!" Even if there are 10,000 brave subordinates, they don't dare to have such thoughts, young master, don't be angry......"

"I want nothing to go wrong, you should destroy those things, not hide them!" The masked man threw him down and asked in a cold voice, "Where is the letter?" ”

"After the mural in the room of Xia Guan's wife, the young master can rest assured, no one would have thought that Xia Guan would hide something there!"

The masked man turned to leave, and Ma Lianzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Cha Jinzhi's thorough investigation of the case of Ma Lianzhou has not yet been reported to Zhongshu Province, and Xuchang has already sent someone to pass on the holy decree, asking him to thoroughly investigate the matter and arrest all those who secretly refine and trade drugs.

The envoy who came to deliver the decree also told him that this medicine is called Hanshisan, and after taking it, people will be addicted to it until their family is broken and they die of poisoning.

If it weren't for the fact that the woman came to report the case without fear of power, I am afraid that by the time he found out, the medicine would have become a spreading trend, and Luoyang would have already been devastated.

He thought about it again and again, and felt that it was best to start with Ma Lianzhou, so he immediately rushed to the prison and wanted to interrogate Ma Lianzhou in prison.

After entering the cell, Cha Jinzhi's warm words said to Ma Lianzhou: "Master Ma, this official has secretly visited the people of Luoyang, and they all say that you are a good official. ”

Ma Lianzhou knelt on the ground, and when he heard Cha Jinzhi say this, he involuntarily straightened his waist and replied: "The lower officials don't dare to be the officials." ”

Cha Jinzhi's face suddenly changed, and he raised his voice and said: "You naturally don't dare to be, you don't admit guilt for killing your wife, and you still privately sell such hurtful things as cold food and powder, and abandon the people of Luoyang for your own selfish desires, are you worthy of their respect for you, and this black veil on your head!" ”

Ma Lianzhou was taken aback, and muttered, "Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......"

"Now that you are guilty, you will bring this matter to the truth," Cha Jinzhi asked, "Who made this medicine?" Who else is involved in this matter besides you? ”

"And Boss Shen Zeshen of Shen Ji Medicine Hall," Ma Lianzhou hurriedly confessed, "The drugs in Xia Guan's hand were all given by him, and it was he who bewitched Xia Guan, so Xia Guan would do this kind of thing." ”

"Is that him?" Cha Jinzhi turned back to the person standing behind him: "Captain Li, you immediately go and arrest Shen Ze." ”

"Yes!" Li Duwei answered and left in a hurry.

"Is there anyone else besides him?" Cha Jinzhi asked.

Ma Lianzhou shook his head again and again: "No, no." ”

Cha Jinzhi stared at Ma Lianzhou, thought for a while, and said to him: "Today, Xuchang came to envoy, saying that Hanshisan was prevalent in Xuchang for a period of time a few years ago, and then it was banned by His Majesty, and all the people who knew the prescription were killed. Now the same thing has appeared in Luoyang, and it should be the people who lived in Xuchang before. Shen Ze is a big family in Luoyang, and the official doesn't know that he has lived in Xuchang, so the source of this medicine should not be him. ”

"This ......" Ma Lianzhou was speechless for a moment, hesitated for a while, and said: "Shen Ze once went to Xuchang to do business, maybe he knew the prescription for cold food powder at that time. ”

"Impossible," Cha Jinzhi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty blocked Xuchang after discovering this medicine, and did not let anyone enter the city for half a year. If Shen Ze took the prescription before locking down the city, then why didn't he prepare this medicine at that time, and he had to wait for three years later? Ma Lianzhou, this official advises you to recruit from the truth, don't be obsessed anymore! ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan ......" Ma Lianzhou's voice trembled a little, looked up at Cha Jinzhi, and whispered to him: "Xia Guan does know who passed the prescription, but this matter is very important, and I also ask Lord Cha to retreat everyone and let Xia Guan quietly tell Lord Cha." ”

Cha Jinzhi thought for a moment, nodded, and the jailers and guards behind him walked out.

Ma Lianzhou touched the bamboo pipe hidden behind him with one hand, approached Cha Jinzhi, and whispered in his mouth: "Xiaguan will tell Master Tea who introduced it." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, took out the bamboo pipe behind him and put it in his mouth, and blew vigorously at Cha Jinzhi.

Cha Jinzhi looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what he was doing.

Ma Lianzhou had a hideous smile on his face, and was waiting for Cha Jinzhi to die of poisoning, when he suddenly felt his throat tighten, his eyes burst, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he fell straight back.

Cha Jinzhi exclaimed: "Come on!" ”

The jailers guarding outside all came in, and someone stepped forward to probe Ma Lianzhou's snort, and turned to Cha Jindao: "Lord Cha, Master Ma is dead." ”

"Dead?" Cha Jinzhi's brows tightened, and he said, "Let the servant come over for an autopsy." ”

After a while, he called him over, he lowered his head to check for a moment, and found the bamboo pipe held in Ma Lianzhou's hand, took it out and examined it carefully, and said to Cha Jin: "Master Cha, this person was highly poisoned and died violently on the spot, and the poison was applied to this tube." ”

Cha Jinzhi looked at this tube quietly, when he put Ma Lianzhou in prison last night, his whole body was turned over, where did this tube come from?

"Are you sure you died of poisoning?"

He nodded, "There will be no mistake. ”

Cha Jin ordered people to move Ma Lianzhou's body to Yizhuang first, and left with the pipe himself.

Out of the prison, the man in Tsing Yi came up to him and asked with a smile: "Master Cha, I don't know what the case can ask about?" Your Majesty is still waiting for the official to reply. ”

This person is none other than Lu Kang.

"Can the envoy wait a few more days?" Cha Jinzhi's face was embarrassed, "Don't hide it, when Xia Guan was interrogating Ma Lianzhou just now, Ma Lianzhou suddenly took out a bamboo pipe and committed suicide, and the clue was broken here, but my lord rest assured, Xia Guan learned from Ma Lianzhou's mouth who was preparing this medicine, and I believe that the real mastermind behind it will be found out in a short time." ”

Lu Kang pondered Cha Jinzhi's words carefully, nodded and asked, "The bamboo pipe used by Ma Lianzhou to commit suicide can be easily shown to the official?" ”

Cha Jinzhi took out the pipe and gave it to Lu Kang: "My lord, please." ”

Lu Kang held the tube in his hand, there was no mark on the bamboo tube that could be identified, but the bamboo itself was extremely special, the whole body was gray-green, and the proglottids on the top were like dragon scales, concave and convex, and the texture was very hard.

"The raw materials of this bamboo pipe are unique, it seems that I have seen ...... somewhere" Lu Kang muttered to himself, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, "Could it be ......?"
