Chapter 3: The Color of Blood
Di Xue was thinking about it, but found that there was a red cloth bag sealed with glue made of batter under the bed.
Di Xue pulled out her saber and gently picked it up, and her pocket fell off.
It seems that the bag has been sealed for some years, and no one has touched it, and the ash on it is very thick.
Di Xue carefully opened her pocket, only to see that there was a rune paper inside, and a small person with a red paper stack
There is a faint word written on the villain, and there is something in it when it is touched, and after opening it, it is found that it is a piece of poplar wood.
Poplar belongs to yin, could it be that this paper figure is made to replace Li Zhan's sacrifice?
Soon Di Xue found the answer on the rune paper, which was opened and densely written in small letters:
"The twins of the Qian family are unknown, so I sacrifice the eldest son to the ghosts and gods, hoping to protect the Qian family's business and the safety of the children and grandchildren."
It seems that the Qian family listened to the slander of the warlocks at that time, sacrificed Li Zhan to the so-called ghosts and gods, and then refused to let him enter the family tree in exchange for the fortune of the Qian family.
It's ridiculous, Di Xue thought and unwrapped the second package under the bed.
There are a lot of badly worn carving tools inside, and it seems that Li Zhan loves carving very much! This is also the case with the digging of animal bones.
Looking at the carving knife in her hand, Di Xue seemed to be able to see Li Zhan holding the grinding sample of its carving, although it was hard, but the carving knife in her hand never stopped!
After carefully sketching this picture in her mind, Di Xue suddenly realized that everything was connected.
Ninety percent of the case has been solved!
Out of the small courtyard, it was already slightly dark, Di Xue rode towards the city gate, and suddenly heard the sound of Suo Suo in the woods.
After turning over and dismounting, Di Xue saw that there were many footprints here, paper money was still trapped in the mud, and there were traces of land turning in front of it, which seemed to be a new grave that had just been buried.
Di Xue quietly approached, only to hear a sound from the direction of the grave bag, as if something was turning over the earth!
In the darkness, she saw a person struggling to turn something, and after pulling out the long sword, Di Xue dodged and came to the man.
Before he could react, the knife was placed on the man's neck.
"Who are you and what are you doing here! Stealing money? Di Xue drank.
The man hurriedly dropped the shovel and slowly stood up, and Di Xue could see clearly through the moonlight.
The man opposite looked like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue satin robe and a sackcloth gown over it, and sackcloth gloves on his hands.
I saw that the man did not answer, but stretched out his hand and touched his arms, there was a deception!
Di Xue hurriedly turned around and came behind him, and at the same time pressed the sword against his throat, and then grabbed his hands with his other hand, and the boy was unable to move for a while.
Di Xue looked down the back of her neck and saw that the collar of the brocade was embroidered with gold threads:
"I don't look like you're short of money, and you say, who are you and what are your intentions!"
"Chivalrous girl, I'm not a bad person, I'm the city's ginseng grass hall doctor Wei Khan, I'm here to find medicine!"
The young man who called himself Wei Cambodia said cautiously, for fear that he would cut his throat with a sharp sword if he made a big move.
"I advise you not to lie, otherwise you will follow me to see the official!" Di Xue saw the new grave that had been dug open and ruthlessly demolished him.
Wei Khan felt the strength increase in his wrist, gritted his teeth and said:
"I am indeed a doctor, but I also love poison, I came here because I heard that the aunt of the Qian family died strangely, so I wanted to check if it was poisoned!"
Aunt Sun? Di Xue also had a trace of doubt in her heart when she heard this, this Qian family died an aunt last night, and she has already been buried today?
This is not in line with common sense, why is the Qian family so anxious, it seems that the death of this Aunt Sun is indeed strange.
Maybe this windfall can also supplement Li Zhan's case!
Moreover, I have heard of the name of this doctor Wei Cambodia, and after entering Yuanjing, I heard that this Wei Cambodia Shenlong sees the head but does not see the end, and only sees ten people a day.
If he is quite skilled in using poison, he is also a helper.
Thinking of this, Di Xue said: "I believe you, but if you play tricks with me, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!" ”
Seeing that Wei Khan's head was as fast as a drumstick, Di Xue smiled slightly, and then took out the silver needle in the crown and said:
"You keep digging, if you have other movements, this silver needle will instantly shoot into your eyebrows, even if you lose both, I won't leave you alone!"
Wei Cambodia could only silently pick up the shovel and continue digging after listening to Di Xue's threatening words, after all, he still knew her martial arts strength, and ten of herself was not an opponent.
Because it was a new grave and the burial was in a hurry, the coffin was dug up in less than a stick of incense.
Di Xue put on gloves and carried Aunt Sun's body out of the coffin with Wei Khan.
The corpses were poorly dressed, and there were not even ordinary funerary goods.
There are unnatural red spots under the skin on the fingertips, and there are unnatural red spots on the face, and there are red spots all over the body.
Di Xue took out a tool and neatly cut the corpse open, and then put the silver bars into her throat and stomach.
And Wei Khan on the side was stunned at first when he saw Di Xue's skillful movements, but he also opened his medicine box on the side as if he understood.
After a while, the silver bars were all black, and it seemed that Aunt Sun was indeed poisoned and died.
The rumored cause of stillbirth is also this poison, but this poison is weird Di Xue can't see what it is!
Di Xue turned her head to look at Wei Khan, only to see that she took out many tools from the medicine box she was carrying, and used a knife to cut off the flesh and blood in Aunt Sun's stomach and put it into the porcelain bowl.
After pouring in some strange potions, after a while, Wei Khan frowned as if he had something on his mind, but he still settled down and said:
"The poison in Aunt Sun's house is called blood, which is formed by the blood luanhua of the herb that has the effect of protecting the fetus near the red ant nest, plus the five colors that repel mosquitoes.
The poison of blood color is rarely known, and the blood luan flower is very precious, even if the Qian family buys it, it will definitely not be used on an aunt from a red-sleeved building.
All the clues lead Di Xue's suspicions to one person, what is the reason for her to do this? The original plan has been successful, can you get rid of Aunt Sun in the future?
Perhaps seeing Di Xue's doubts, Wei Cambodia said while restoring the cemetery:
"Ginseng Caotang sold some blood luan grass half a month ago, and it was the Qian family who said that Mrs. Liu was pregnant and unstable, so she reluctantly bought some!"
Liu Ruyan is pregnant! Everything makes sense, it seems that the plan to get rid of Aunt Sun is first, and now we just need to wait for the results from Han Shu's side!
Di Xue's impression of this Wei Cambodia was also a little better, and it seemed that he really had some ability, so he asked with a soothing expression:
"Doctor Wei, it's getting late at the city gate, it's hard to enter, will you go back with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Cambodia blew a whistle, and after a while, a majestic black horse ran over, rubbing his hand affectionately.
Seeing this, Di Xue was slightly puzzled, this horse is a rare good horse, ordinary people can't buy it at all, isn't this Wei Cambodia just a doctor!
Although she was worried, she still didn't say much, and finding out the truth was the most important thing at the moment.
The defenders saw the token of Di Xue Dali Temple and knew that it was Dali Temple that handled the case, so they let it go.
"My lord is really a heroine among women!" Defend compliments.
Di Xue looked at him and smiled slightly, half-narrowed her eyes and returned: "Doctor Wei is also a good judgment, I knew that I was Di Xue, so why should I pretend again!" ”
Wei Cambodia was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then smiled with a smile:
"Master Di is upright and cares about the case, I don't think it's difficult to know, not to mention that you are the only female official in the Eastern Wu Kingdom!"
Di Xue waved her hand and ignored his compliment: "Doctor Wei doesn't have to be polite, this matter is thanks to your medical skills!"
After going back, Di Xue went to the Shenshen Thatched Cottage to get the record and confirmed it, then said goodbye to Wei Cambodia and returned to Dali Temple!
When Han Shu saw Di Xue coming back, he immediately greeted him:
"My lord, you are really a god, there is indeed a rich family's cloth shop in the upper reaches of the river, but this is also a shop that was barely built with the support of the Liu family, and now Zhang Ying has already led people to guard there!"
"Have you found the murder weapon?" Di Xue asked as she walked with Han Shu.
"I found it in the river in the backyard of the Qian family's shop, it was a scissor for cutting cloth!"
