Chapter Ninety-Seven: Who Is the Poisoner?
After a while, all the people stood in the courtyard, and Su Qing sat on a carved chair with a cup of tea in his hand, and personally interrogated them.
As a result, after a long day of trial, nothing came out.
However, the cooks and maids all swore an oath one by one, saying that Steward Zhang was in the kitchen when Baili Yu had an accident.
It is also a little said that Steward Zhang was near the study at that time, and even said that he saw Steward Zhang leave the house with his own eyes.
At this time, she was puzzled, it was clear that when Baili Yu was poisoned, someone witnessed Steward Zhang coming here.
It's impossible for Steward Zhang to have a doppelganger, appearing in so many places at the same time.
"Ah Qing, how is the third brother. Wearing a pink-purple cloak, Baria walked over anxiously.
During this time, she was worried that Emperor Yihong had been staying in the palace because of his health, and the news of Baili Yu's injury was not heard in the palace at all.
If it weren't for the secret guard of the Three Kings' Mansion to send her the news, she really didn't know about it.
In order to avoid people's eyes, Bailiya quietly came in through the back door of Sufu, she has been to Sufu many times, so she has already figured out the route in this house, even if no one leads the way, she can find a pharmacy.
"The situation has stabilized, you can go in and take a look. After Su Qing finished speaking, he continued to interrogate people.
She has no time to take care of other things at all, and the top priority at the moment is to find out the person who poisoned her, otherwise there will be one and two, and Baili Yu is still in danger.
Suddenly there was a strange smell in the courtyard, exactly the same as the smell in the pharmacy.
Su Qing took a look at the courtyard and found that there were dozens of golden, colorful and strange flowers not far away.
But the current season is winter, and it is the time of snowfall, which coincides with the lowest temperature of the year, where does this flower come from?
The further she went, the stronger the strange scent became. However, from time to time, the fragrance of other flowers wafted over, masking the smell of the strange flowers, but as long as she smelled it carefully, she could still distinguish the strange smell.
The taste is different from ordinary floral fragrance, with a bit of medicinal fragrance.
"Miss, what did you find?" Lian'er felt strange and stepped forward to ask Su Qing.
"I don't know yet. Su Qing said.
Su Qing walked towards the pile of flower pots, and she was about to go over to take a closer look
At that time, a maid who was originally kneeling and dressed in green suddenly stood up and stopped in front of Yun Ruoyue, "Miss, what are you going to do? These are all strange flowers carefully cultivated by the slave maid for the house, you must not hurt them." ”
"What's your name?" Su Qing stopped and looked at the green-clothed maid in front of him.
The maid in front of her was pale, and her eyes looked a little weak and panicked, and she understood it at a glance.
"Miss Hui, the slave's name is Mei'er. Mei'er was trembling in her heart, but she was trying to pretend to be calm on the surface, but her pale face and slightly swaying body made Su Qing suspicious.
"Mei'er, are all these flowers cultivated by you?" asked Su Qing.
"Yes, miss, these flowers are cultivated here, and after they are cultivated, they will be sent to the master's room. These flowers are very precious, difficult to cultivate, and rare in nature, so the slave hopes that the young lady will not touch them. Mei'er said calmly.
"Don't worry, I just think they're good-looking, come and see them. Su Qing said.
At this time, Bailiya came out of the pharmacy and kicked Mei'er to the ground, she looked at Mei'er condescendingly, her beautiful eyes were full of frost, "This pharmacy is obviously the smell of oleander!"
Before Emperor Yihong ascended the throne, when she was still in the palace, an aunt bought someone to put oleander in her room, and she almost died because of this oleander.
Since then she has smelled oleander, so she smells the smell in the pharmacy as soon as she smells it.
Bailiya looked at Mei'er coldly, and her eyes were full of murderous intent, "Say, who sent you here?"
This Mei'er is definitely not simple, this oleander is not a thing of this season at all, and even the master in the palace who specializes in cultivating flowers and plants may not be able to grow oleander in winter, let alone her little maid.
Seeing that the matter was serious, Mei'er didn't want to ask for credit, so she said directly: "Father... Princess, in fact, I didn't plant these flowers, these flowers were brought in from outside by Steward Zhang, he... He said that the young lady was interested in looking for these strange flowers, and said that she would put the flowers in the pharmacy and go to the room for the smell of medicine, slaves... Slave maid..."
Su Qing said coldly: "When did I tell Steward Zhang, I haven't seen this person at all today." ”
"You also opened the windows in the pharmacy, and you also moved out the flowers?" Su Qing studied medicine and was proficient in pharmacology, so she naturally knew what this oleander was.
This oleander, its color is bright red, there is a strong fragrance, it is a highly toxic flower!
In order to take credit in front of her, Mei'er believed the words of the false steward and moved oleander into the pharmacy.
But she hadn't seen the oleander in the pharmacy just now, so who brought the peach out?
If not Mei'er, then who is it?
"Miss, the flowers didn't come out of the slaves, and the windows didn't open by me, Miss, you have to believe me, Miss. Mei'er kowtowed, and after a while, there were blood marks on her head.
"Miss, I remember, when I passed by Steward Zhang's room last night, I heard the steward's scream, I asked the steward what was wrong, and he said it was okay, but his voice was hoarse, and now I think about it is really wrong. A maid in a pink dress named Fan'er suddenly stood up.
At this time, Su Changyun also rushed over, and he was followed by the government soldiers, who were still carrying a stretcher covered with a white cloth in their hands.
"Steward Zhang's body was tied to a stone and thrown into an artificial lake. Su Changyun sighed and said.
Baili Yu's matter suddenly fell into a dead end, first he was assassinated and then poisoned in Su Mansion, how did he explain to Emperor Yihong.
Su Qing kept silent, combined with the words of the fans, Steward Zhang was already dead last night, so the person who pretended to be Steward Zhang today is the one who poisoned him.
As long as this person is found, then all problems will be solved.
Will the master behind this poisoned person also be a member of the Yan Guo Pu family?
For a while, many questions appeared in Su Qing's mind, and they were all mixed, which could confuse people's brains.
"From today onwards, people in the house are strictly forbidden to go out, special circumstances must be reported and recorded, and violators will be strangled immediately. After Su Qing gave the order, he let people disperse.
After all, Su Mansion is so big, it always has to operate, and it is not a matter for people to stay in the pharmacy all the time.
But if the poisoner is still in the house, how can she lure him out?
It seems that she has to think of a foolproof plan, maybe there are still his accomplices in the house.
