Chapter 10: The stakes are high
"Poison was found in the old shopkeeper's room, and there was poison in the old shopkeeper's fingernails." Hairpin replied.
Is this case really that simple?
Ye Crimson still felt strange.
If things are really so simple, why didn't Yan Jifan let her interfere?
This is too deliberate.
And the time of poisoning was chosen after dinner, and it was necessary to make sure that everyone would drink tea when they returned to the room, so that no one in Shangshantang would slip through the net, which was something that the crazy demon could plan?
If the plan is to poison everyone, poisoning everyone in the middle of dinner will do the trick, and there is no need to have everyone die in their own rooms.
Let everyone die in their own room, increase the difficulty of solving the case, if you can't find this layer of poison in the well water, it is not difficult to sentence everyone in Shangshantang to death.
If the layer of poison in the well is found, you can use the evidence of the poison in the old shopkeeper's room to blame the old shopkeeper.
And the old shopkeeper is dead, and he will not cry out for injustice, and this is the end of the matter.
All these possibilities have only one purpose, which is to cover up the real culprit.
But there is a question, why do these people have to die?
This answer may only be known to Yan Jifan.
She still wants to see Yan Jifan.
"How much money do we have on our books?" She went to the account desk and asked the treasurer.
The shopkeeper took out the account book and glanced at it, and said while making an abacus: "There are more than two thousand taels of silver on the account, but we don't have many medicinal materials, and we still have to enter the medicinal materials, and the most we can do is ...... It can evenly out a thousand taels. ”
"Give me the silver ticket first."
The silver in the capital is still relatively easy to earn, she can cure diseases that others can't treat, and those dignitaries and nobles are generous, and she will earn back a thousand taels of silver for a few dignitaries and nobles to take a look at incurable diseases.
Because those people die to save face, they often give some sealed silver when they encounter unspeakable secrets.
She has her own medical ethics, but if she doesn't accept it, people won't feel at ease.
With a thousand taels of silver tickets, she came to Yan Jifan's mansion.
Yan Jifan went to the court and didn't come back yet, but the guards of the Yan Mansion didn't stop her.
Wait until the sun is just in the sky and Yan Jifan will come back.
"You have time, why don't you guard the hospital well, what are you doing here?" Yan Jifan frowned and walked into the flower hall with his hands behind his back.
This woman is probably here for the sake of Shangshantang's affairs.
It seems that if things are not made clear, this woman will not give up.
Thinking about it, he gave the guard a look, and the guard understood, and walked out to dismiss all the subordinates around the flower hall.
Ye Scarlet had a soft smile on his face, and presented the silver ticket with both hands, "The medical hall has begun to make a profit, and I am here to repay the silver today." ”
Yan Jifan glanced at the silver ticket, but finally his gaze stayed on Ye Crimson's face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously leaked a smile.
The last time Ye Scarlet was so low and small, it was to borrow money to open a medical center, and this time she also asked for something.
He was like a mirror in his heart, and a little playfulness suddenly rose in his heart, pretending not to know, picked up a cup of tea and gently skimmed the foam, and said softly: "What, I borrowed five thousand taels of silver, and now I want to send the official away with one thousand taels?" ”
Ye Scarlet gritted her teeth, still with a smile on her face: "This is only a part, and the rest will naturally be returned to the adults little by little when there is money on the account." ”
The taste of owing money is really uncomfortable, and not only owes money, but also owes favors, and now she still wants to inquire about the news from others, so no matter what kind of face they have, she can only smile and welcome people.
"That's not necessary, the official is not short of this bit of silver, when you have enough money, you can pay it back when you have enough."
Yan Jifan said as he put down the teacup and got up to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Scarlet hurriedly said: "My lord, why don't you let me continue to investigate the matter of Shangshantang, then Qiao Wan'er is fake, I don't believe you don't know." ”
If Song Yu could do things without Yan Jifan knowing, then Song Yu would have taken Yan Jifan's place long ago.
"Are you questioning the officer?" Yan Jifan's face gradually turned cold.
Ye Feise was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Don't dare, I'm in a hurry, please forgive me, but this matter is closely related to me, unless the adult gives me a good reason, even if I am not in Dali Temple, I will find a way to continue to investigate." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Yan Jifan with burning eyes, explaining her determination with her eyes.
is still the same sentence, since she knows that the real Qiao Wan'er is still hiding in the shadows, it is impossible for her to give up.
A poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, I don't know when it will find an opportunity to pounce and bite someone, she can't always be on guard.
Yan Jifan's eyes revealed two points of appreciation.
If the woman was to stop there, he would feel that he had seen the wrong person.
Anyway, he was going to say it.
"The official won't let you check, it's not good for you to find out the truth, because those people in the Shangshan Hall were killed by the official."
He spoke word by word very clearly.
"What?" Ye Scarlet's eyes widened, and her jaw was about to drop in shock.
She thought that Qiao Wan'er did it, and she also thought that Song Yu did it, but she didn't think that Yan Jifan did it.
Yan Jifan raised his eyes and glanced at her, and an evil smile bloomed on his lips: "Why, you know that this official did it, you are surprised?" ”
In the eyes of others, isn't he an unscrupulous and ruthless traitor?
Doing this kind of thing does not live up to his name as a traitor.
It took a while for Ye Scarlet to regain her voice, organize her language, and ask, "Why?" ”
"You don't need to know why, now that the official has told you the truth, what are you going to do next?"
After saying that, Yan Jifan's eyes stared at Ye Crimson without blinking.
Ye Crimson touched his eyes that were as deep as a well, and subconsciously lowered his head to avoid Yan Jifan's eyes.
She didn't doubt Yan Jifan's words, but why did Yan Jifan do this?
Or rather, why now?
Killing the people in Shangshantang was nothing more than to kill the mouth, but from the beginning, Yan Jifan knew that she was investigating this case, wouldn't it be easier to kill her if she wanted to kill the mouth?
And just now Yan Jifan said that knowing the truth is not good for her, that means that killing people is just the surface, and even the person who kills and the person who is killed is not important, otherwise Yan Jifan will not say that it is not good for her to know the truth.
To some extent, Yan Jifan was protecting her, and she was also an insider, but Yan Jifan did not choose to get rid of her, but reminded her.
The person who can make Yan Jifan go to the end of his mouth must not be simple.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on her back.
But even so, it is a fact that Qiao Wan'er killed people and dissected his heart, this truth will not be buried forever, will those dead die in vain?
Taking a deep breath, she raised her head again and looked at Yan Jifan, plucking up the courage to ask, "What about Qiao Wan'er?" She killed so many people, is that all? ”
Hearing this, an obvious smile appeared on Yan Jifan's face.
This woman is really smart, he is such a question, Ye Scarlet knows that the matter is important, and he knows the severity.
"The truth will come out one day, but not now, not today. You don't have to worry too much, now that you are a subordinate of this official, this official will never let you have an accident. ”
Well said.
Ye Scarlet sighed, Yan Jifan said so, she was lonely, and she couldn't really touch the stone with an egg.
As for those people in Shangshantang, Yan Jifan said that they were insiders, and they were not innocent when they thought about it, so they deserved it.
"I know, I won't investigate this case again." She got up and saluted Yan Jifan, turned around and walked out.
"Wait."
Yan Jifan suddenly stopped her.
Anything else?
She turned, asking with the look in her eyes.
Yan Jifan took out the previous waist card from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying, "If you are still willing, you can still go back to Dali Temple to do your work." ”
Before, she withdrew her waist card because she was afraid that she was not serious, but now that she already knows what to do, such a talent should not be wasted.
Ye Scarlet rolled his eyes, didn't take it immediately, raised his chin slightly, and said, "If you want me to go back to Dali Temple, then I also have a condition." ”
When the guards outside the door heard Ye Crimson's words, they couldn't help but hold their breath and pricked up their ears to listen to the movements in the flower hall.
Dare to talk to his family about the conditions, is this Ye Crimson living too well?
The last one who talked to the adults of his family about the conditions has now entered reincarnation.
"What conditions." Yan Jifan's voice came out, and the guards almost doubted their ears.
The adults of his family actually asked Ye Scarlet about the conditions!
Ye Feise had already thought about it, and his tone was brisk: "I can do it, but I also have to do the doctor of Jimintang." ”
The more powerful she is, the more comfortable her life here will be.
You can't always rely on Yan Jifan's protection.
Who knows when this traitor will fall from power.
The corners of Yan Jifan's mouth curled slightly: "Yes." ”
"Thank you, sir." Ye Scarlet thanked him, and when he saw that Yan Jifan had no other instructions, he walked out.
Something finally went well.
Waiting for Ye Scarlet to leave, the guard walked in and asked cautiously: "You let Doctor Ye go back to Dali Temple, and let her be in Jimin Hall, I am afraid that Zai Fu will join you." ”
The adults of his family said that Song Yu did not understand the rules of Dali Temple, and Dali Temple had never been able to open a medical hall outside with great fanfare.
Yan Jifan smiled disdainfully: "How could this official be afraid of him." ”
The emperor handed over the matter of exterminating the mouth to him this time, obviously dissatisfied with Fan Lu, and the reason why Qiao Wan'er went to dissect his heart was to find a way to treat the emperor's heart disease.
Speaking of which, the heart-wrenching thing is thanks to Ye Scarlet finding Qiao Wan'er's head.
The emperor was also afraid that the truth of the dissecting matter would be discredited, so he asked him to kill the insider.
In the eyes of the emperor, it was Fan Lu and Qiao Waner who were useless and messed up.
And at this time, Fan Lu didn't want to wipe his buttocks, and he still wanted to step on him, and the emperor would only think that Fan Lu was looking for trouble.
As for him letting Ye Scarlet enter Dali Temple and staying in Jimin Hall at the same time, as long as Ye Scarlet can take care of things on both sides at the same time, why not?
On the second day, Ye Scarlet deliberately got up early in the morning and came to Dali Temple to order.
Song Yu saw Ye Scarlet's figure at a glance, strode over and asked, "Ye Scarlet, you are no longer from Dali Temple, what are you doing?" ”
He hadn't settled the account with Ye Scarlet in Shangshan Hall that night!
Ye Scarlet took two steps back to widen the distance between the two, clasped his hands and said, "Lord Song, let's take care of yourself first, shouldn't you be familiar with the rules of Dali Temple now?" ”
This man's heart and eyes are smaller than the eye of a needle.
Song Yu was annoyed and angry, stepped forward and grabbed Ye Scarlet's arm, and said sharply: "This official is still Shaoqing of Dali Temple, what kind of thing are you, you are worthy of talking to this official!" ”
"Doctor Ye is also a servant of Dali Temple now, Lord Song, please respect yourself."
Please Ying stepped forward and pinched Song Yu's wrist, and with a force, forced Song Yu to let go of Ye Crimson.
Song Yu held his aching wrist and took a few steps back in embarrassment, glaring at Ye Scarlet with a fierce look in his eyes, "Does she think this Dali Temple is her home?" She can go when she wants, come when she wants! ”
Ye Scarlet stretched out her hands and said with an innocent face: "It was Lord Yan who invited me back, if you are not convinced, you go to him." ”
