Chapter Ninety-Eight: Poison
"In other words, the control of the Wang family on the Liu family is not as big as you say?" After listening to He Nan's introduction to the situation in Lishui Town, Lin Chenxing asked with a dark face.
"Yes, as long as the Liu family doesn't make any big moves in the town, the town guard will not come forward, the strength of the two of them is not much different now, and no one can overwhelm anyone." He Nan said with some embarrassment, this is not a small difference from what he said to Lin Chenxing before.
Lin Chenxing: "......"
After being silent for a while, Lin Chenxing suddenly asked: "So, does the second son of the Liu family really like to engage in that 'simmering on low heat'?" ”
He Nan was a little stunned when he heard this, this ...... Isn't the focus a little wrong? However, he had already offended Lin Chenxing a lot, so he naturally didn't say anything at this time, just nodded and said, "Yes, this Second Prince Liu seems to be enjoying it." ”
Lin Chenxing: "......"
"It's a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds!"
Just as Lin Chenxing was about to ask some more details, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Big brother, big brother?"
"Something's wrong!"
He Nan and Lin Chenxing glanced at each other, and the two immediately went out of the room, and saw that Yu Huo was hurrying over from the direction of the back hall of Deji Hall.
He Nan greeted him with a heavy face and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Yu Huo glanced at Lin Chenxing, who was a few points behind, and then saw the eyes of his boss He Nan, and then spoke: "Someone poisoned the medicine!" ”
"What ???" He Nan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and the solemnity on his face instantly turned into pain and horror.
"Someone poisoned He Kuan's medicine, but don't worry, big brother, we found it early, otherwise we ......" Ember's voice was very low.
When He Nan learned that He Kuan was fine, the expression on his face relaxed slightly, and then hurriedly said, "Let's go, go and see the situation." ”
"Hmm"
The three of them entered the back hall together and found He Kuan's room.
When they came in, Feng Yuehan and Liu Siniang were already here.
"Captain."
"Brother He."
After He Nan nodded in greeting, he asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Liu Siniang and Feng Yuehan glanced at each other, and then, Liu Siniang said softly: "Just now I boiled a decoction for Xiaokuan, and after I came over, I saw that he hadn't woken up yet, so I casually put the medicine bowl on the windowsill, and the result was ......."
As he spoke, several people followed Liu Siniang's gaze and saw the half-open window on the side of He Kuan's bed, the medicine bowl on the windowsill, and a small tile bird lying on the side.
"Among the prescriptions I prescribed to He Kuan was Wuwei Zhen, which was one of Waque's favorite foods." Feng Yuehan added on the side.
"If it weren't for this greedy sparrow, I'm afraid I would have gone to the underworld to report by now." He Kuan's face was pale, leaning on the bed, his heart palpitating.
When the words landed, several people in the room fell silent, obviously everyone knew that the Liu family had already begun to act, and they would kill people as soon as they got started.
"Whose hands did this medicine go through?" Lin Chenxing, who had been quietly listening to a few people in the back, asked.
"Who is this?" Feng Yuhan heard the words and looked over, she had been busy dealing with He Kuan's injuries before, but she had never been in contact with Lin Chenxing.
"This is Lin Chenxing, Brother Lin, we were attacked outside the fog swamp before, and it was all up to Brother Lin to come back." He Nan briefly introduced.
Feng Yuehan bowed slightly and bowed: "Thank you Gongzi Lin for your help!" ”
"You're welcome. I wonder whose hands this decoction passed through before and after? Can you let us know? Lin Chenxing then asked.
Feng Yuehan: "Fang Zi was sent to the front hall by Xiaowan, and I didn't know after that." Siniang, where did you get the medicine? ”
"It was given to me by Xiaowan, and after I got it, I went directly to fry it, and I never left during the whole process." Liu Siniang said.
That's right! The only people who have touched this medicine are the main guy in front, Xiao Wan, and Liu Siniang, who found out all this.
Lin Chenxing said: "Go find the guy who grabbed the medicine and Miss Xiaowan, and testify in court." ”
"yes, they should all be in the front hall, go check it out." Feng Yuehan said.
It's just that after a few people came to the front hall, they didn't see Xiao Wan, who was supposed to be on duty here, but only the guy was there. Under questioning, the guy who grabbed the medicine said that the medicine was not caught by him, but by Wan'er herself. In this way, things are very clear, if what the pharmacy guy said is true, then only Wan'er and Liu Siniang have been exposed to medicine.
"Where's Xiaowan?" Feng Yuehan asked.
The guy didn't know about the poisoning, he looked confused, and wondered what was going on with these people, and said weakly: "It was still half an hour ago, I don't know where to go, maybe in the backyard." ”
But a few people searched the front and back of Deji Hall, but they didn't see Xiaowan's shadow, and everyone's expressions suddenly became a little exciting.
Is this a fear of crime absconding?
"It's absolutely impossible for Xiao Wan to do such a thing!" Feng Yuehan's voice was unusually firm, obviously she had also guessed what everyone was thinking.
The prescription she prescribed was also handed over to Xiao Wan, and Xiao Wan grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, and then handed it over to Liu Siniang. In this way, the only people who have come into contact with this bowl of poisoned decoction are Xiao Wan and Liu Siniang. Liu Siniang found out that the decoction had been poisoned, and Xiao Wan had mysteriously disappeared. In this way, it is clear who is more suspicious!
However, Xiao Wan was a partner who had played with her since she was a child, and after so many years of getting along, she was already like a sister. How could Feng Yuehan accept such a fact?
Feng Yuehan, who was already a little confused, was trying her best to support Xiaowan, but she didn't see the ugly expression on Liu Siniang's face. There are only two people who have touched the medicine bowl, Feng Yuehan insisted that Xiaowan could not be poisoned, so isn't it saying that it was her Liu Siniang who poisoned? It's no wonder that her face is good-looking.
He Nan whispered comfortingly: "Siniang, don't think about it, Miss Feng is also anxious, she didn't mean that!" ”
"Yes, I know."
"Captain, what's next?" Ember spoke, his face ugly.
He Nan was silent, to be honest, he really didn't know what to do to solve this life-threatening dilemma.
Since the Liu family has already done it, it will definitely not stop there, this is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, no one knows which of them will fall on their heads next time. This feeling is not as good as directly picking up a knife and slashing with the Liu family.
"I suggest you get ready now and get out of here. Continuing to ink is just a dead end. After saying that, Lin Chenxing didn't say anything more, and stood aside with his long sword, thinking about his own affairs.
After a long time, He Nan spoke: "Yu Huo, you are here with Xiaokuan, Siniang, Brother Lin, how about we are looking around?" ”
"Good!"
It was getting late, but the antechamber of the Deji Hall was still brightly lit, and the men who had been questioned before were standing in front of the medicine rack in an orderly manner, even though there was not a single injured person who came to see a doctor.
Seeing the difference in Lin Chenxing's eyes, He Nan on the side explained softly: "This is the rule set by Elder Feng, Dejitang has twelve hours a day, never closes, never refuses to be treated!" ”
"Feng Lao is really a clever and benevolent person!" When Lin Chenxing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
There is no shop in this world that is open twelve hours a day. No matter how prosperous the city is, the shops are closed late at night, and there is silence. Except, of course, for some special places.
This Elder Feng was able to set such a rule, which is enough to witness the benevolence of his healer. It is also difficult for He Nan and the others to be willing to take the risk of offending the Liu family, and still sell the blue-eyed toad venom gland to Dejitang. Perhaps, there are other hidden secrets in this, but Feng Lao's style of conduct should have played a great role.
"Do you want to go to the house and look for it?" Lin Chenxing asked.
He Nan shook his head and said, "Xiao Wan is an orphan adopted by Feng Lao, almost half a granddaughter, and has been living here. ”
