Chapter 23: Exposed

The doctor only said that the name of this medicine is Xuelimei, it is not a poison, but a medicine for blood tonic, but this medicine is too strong, it must be neutralized with another medicine, if it is used alone, the dosage is too large, it becomes a poison.

According to the doctor, this medicine is not very common and is very valuable, and a single bottle of medicine costs at least two taels of silver, because it does not sell well and is not available in all pharmacies.

If it is common, it is difficult to detect, and if it is rare, it is easier.

With this clue, Yongshu immediately sent people to a nearby pharmacy to investigate one by one.

Although Hongshu was not in the mansion, he left the guard Haishuo beside him in Ningzhao Courtyard, saying that he was sent by Ren Yongshu, but how could Yongshu not understand that this Haishuo was equivalent to Hongtian's eyeliner, thinking that Hongtian didn't trust her, so he deliberately let his own people witness here to prevent her from coming nonsense.

In all fairness, Yongshu does hate Yun Rou, but if it weren't for Yun Rou's actions, she would definitely not have wronged her because of personal grudges, she would handle this matter impartially and speak with the facts!

Because she was not worried about Haishuo's existence, she still assigned him a task and asked him to participate in the collection of evidence.

Hai Shuo led the people to act separately, and asked the people who had bought snow plums here in the past month.

After checking for two hours in a row, he screened out five pharmacies that had sold sherry plums within a month.

Two of the medicines were bought by the neighbors, and the shopkeeper recognized the person who bought the medicine, and Hai Shuo went to those two houses to confirm that they had indeed bought the medicine, as well as the prescription prescribed by the doctor.

The other three didn't recognize the person who bought the medicine, and they didn't even remember who bought the medicine, only one had a slight impression, and the reason why they had an impression was because the person who came to buy the medicine was wearing a hat and couldn't see their faces clearly, and the date of buying the medicine was eight days ago!

This is very suspicious, why do ordinary people wear hats when buying medicine?

Haishuo then brought the shopkeepers of the three pharmacies back to the mansion and asked Fujin and Rong Gege to be the masters.

Manrong meant to bring these shopkeepers over and identify the three maids to see if there were any familiar ones, but after they saw them, they were not impressed.

It is rare to have clues, Yongshu does not give up, and asks again, so that they can recall carefully, and those who provide useful clues will be rewarded.

One of the shopkeepers pondered and meditated, and suddenly remembered something,

The woman who came to buy the medicine was wearing a hood, and the grass people could not see her face clearly, but from experience and her voice, she should have been a young girl, certainly not more than thirty years old. In addition, when she paid the money, the grass people seemed to see a birthmark on the inside of her wrist. ”

Have a birthmark on your wrist? As soon as these words came out, Xingcai and Yuehe's faces were as usual, Hongfei's face froze, and she subconsciously shrank her hand into her sleeve.

This scene happened to fall in Manrong's eyes, Manrong and Fujin glanced at each other, Yongshu made a look, Haishuo immediately approached, pulled out Hongfei's wrist, and sure enough, he found that there was a cyan birthmark on the inside of her right wrist!

The matter has come to this point, the human and material evidence are all there, but Hong Fei still does not admit it, saying that he is wronged, "It must be that Fujin looks at the slave and maid unpleasantly, so he united with the so-called shopkeeper to frame the slave and maid!" ”

This quibble is really ridiculous, "I have never seen the birthmark on your wrist on the inside, and I don't know it, how can I use it to wronged you?" ”

Man Rong picked up the ledger on the table, "This ledger is the stuff of the pharmacy, and it records the medicine they sell every day, and it can't be faked." The black and white words are clear, and the shopkeeper's identification matches yours.

Hongfei, now that the evidence is conclusive, no matter how much you deny it, the fifth master will not believe you, you should honestly explain the motive for murdering Fujin! ”

No matter how Yongshu and Manrong coerced and tempted, Hongfei refused to confess, and in desperation, Yongshu had no choice but to continue to detain her and wait for Hongyang to return home before making plans.

Hongtian was busy all day, and did not return home until the evening, and after learning about this, he decided to interrogate Hongfei himself.

At this time, Hongfei was beaten all over her body, and was dragged in front of Hongyang and Fujin, and the whole person knelt on the ground, not daring to move, and the pain was unbearable when she moved slightly.

Hongday, who was on the upper seat, raised his finger slightly, and the guards brought a young man in, and the young man knelt beside Hongfei when he entered the door, crying and calling his sister.

Hearing the familiar voice, Hong Fei's heart trembled, she raised her eyes with difficulty, and was surprised to see that her younger brother was actually beside her, so frightened that she exclaimed,

"Junko! How did you end up here? ”

Slanted his eyes at the woman kneeling below, Hongday's eyes were fierce, "Master only listens to the truth!" If you are stubborn, don't blame your brother for being unkind! ”

Hongfei was not afraid of being beaten, but she didn't want her younger brother to be involved, so in desperation, she had to admit it.

"The slave was reprimanded by Fujin for picking flowers last time, and she held a grudge, so she secretly drugged and wanted to destroy Fujin's flowers."

Yongshu thought that her excuse couldn't stand, "It's not just ruining flowers, it's going to ruin my face!" Everyone knows that murdering Fujin is a capital crime, and gambling with your life just for this little thing, do you think it's reasonable? ”

Hong Fei explained weakly: "The slave maid is thinking that this matter will be done quietly, and no one will find out." ”

Despite her repeated quibbles, Yongshu still felt that something was wrong, "Fifth Master, Hong Fei's words are illogical, I don't believe that no one instructed her, she would take this risk alone!" ”

Hongguang immediately ordered someone to bring Yun Rou over for questioning, Yun Rou heard the news, pointed at Hong Fei and scolded him hatefully, "You girl, how can you do something vicious to murder Fu Jin?" You've disappointed me so much! ”

After angrily reprimanding, Yun Rou hurriedly expressed her attitude to Hongday, "Fifth Master, the concubine doesn't know about this matter, everything is Hongfei's idea, please also ask the Fifth Master to be aware of it!" ”

When Yun Rou spoke, Yongshu's eyes kept falling on Hong Fei, she clearly saw a trace of stinging in Hong Fei's eyes, Hong Fei probably didn't expect that her master would be so ruthless!

But she seemed to have concerns, her chapped lips opened and closed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Yongshu only felt ridiculous, "A bottle of medicine costs two taels of silver, this medicine is not cheap, how can she spend a month's monthly money to buy medicine and harm people?" ”

Yun Rou explained: "I reward her a lot on weekdays, she has saved private money, and to her, two taels of silver is nothing. ”

Seeing that the master didn't help her intercede, Hong Fei didn't expect anything anymore, and took the initiative to take all the blame, "Yun Gege didn't instruct, everything is the idea of the slave and maid alone, and it has nothing to do with Yun Gege, Fu Jin, one person does things and one person is responsible, the slave and maid are willing to be punished, I just ask you not to wronged Yun Gege!" ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, Hong Fei actually said that she wronged Yun Gege! Yongshu wanted to continue investigating, but Hongyang had already come to his conclusion.
