"Oh, I see, you wait, I'll bring it out for you," Wei Xuanji said as he walked out, took a medicine jar out of a compartment, and then walked to a small stove with the medicine jar, and said, "What do you want to boil? ”

Wu Qian replied: "I boiled some ginseng soup for the peaches I brought to replenish my body." ”

"There are no supplements in this Yin Mansion, and there are many servants, so why should you bring your own ginseng and make soup by yourself," Wei Xuanji said.

"We can't just rely on the Yin Mansion to eat for nothing and take other people's food for nothing," Wu Qian said.

Wei Xuanji smiled and said, "You have a bit of backbone, come, you give me the ginseng, and I will help you boil it." ”

Wu Qian said, "Then thank you Mr. Wei," After speaking, Wu Qian took out a box from the bag and handed it to Wei Xuanji.

Wei Xuanji opened the box, except for a ginseng lying inside, one by one like a dry tree root, Wei Xuanji picked up the thing and looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked, "This is not ginseng." ”

Wu Qian looked up, smiled, and said, "Oh, this is quinoa, which is used to treat strokes." Wu Qian thought to himself that it might be that when Aunt Zhao was boiling medicine for Uncle Zhao, she accidentally mixed quinoa into the box containing ginseng.

However, when Wei Xuanji heard that it was quinoa, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly: "How can you put ginseng and quinoa together?"

Wu Qian was confused and said, "Isn't it better to make soup with ginseng and quinoa for the treatment of stroke?"

"Nonsense!" Wei Xuanji shouted angrily.

Wu Qian was also a little nervous when he heard this, and asked, "What will happen if ginseng and quinoa are boiled together?"

"There are clouds in the medical scriptures: Materia Medica clearly says eighteen antis, half of the shellfish attack the black, the algae halberd then the coriander war grass, the ginseng and the peony rebel vernoa, this last sentence 'all ginseng and peony rebel veratrol' means that all ginseng and quinoa are incompatible, otherwise it will be toxic. Wei Xuanji explained.

"What!" When Wu Qian heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, and then he muttered to himself: "Could it be that Uncle Zhao was killed by someone? How could anyone harm Uncle Zhao?"

Wei Xuanji heard Wu Qian keep reading that Uncle Zhao was killed by someone, and hurriedly asked, "What you said about Uncle Zhao boiled ginseng and quinoa together into a decoction and drank it?"

Wu Qian nodded, his eyes fixed on Wei Xuanji, as if waiting for what he would say next.

Wei Xuanji also looked solemn, and then asked, "Why do you want Uncle Zhao to eat quinoa, he has had a stroke?"

Wu Qian nodded again, and when Wei Xuanji saw this, he let out a long sigh and said, "If a normal person drinks ginseng and quinoa together to make a decoction, maybe it will not be dead, but if a person who has had a stroke drinks this decoction, it will definitely die." ”

Wu Qian sat down on the stool all of a sudden, his eyes were blank, he really couldn't figure out how someone who had no quarrel with the world could harm him.

Wei Xuanji said indignantly: "Tell me, which quack doctor said that ginseng can be boiled with quinoa, and the old man risked his life to smash his signboard." ”

Wu Qian shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

When Wei Xuanji heard this, his eyes closed, and he said bitterly: "The mediocre teacher misleads people's children, and quack doctors harm people's lives!"

The ginseng soup was boiled, Wu Qian walked on the way back unwillingly, could it be that Uncle Zhao really met a quack? But even if the quack doctor told Uncle Zhao to use medicine like this, Uncle Zhao didn't have so much money to buy so much ginseng, the key is to find out who gave this ginseng to Uncle Zhao, is it Xu Chunhua? It's not like, Xu Chunhua is poor, and he still has a terminally ill son at home, and he doesn't have the ability to send so much ginseng to Uncle Zhao, it seems that Uncle Zhao should have seen other people in addition to Xu Chunhua that day, but Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao has been in the world for a lifetime, and who would have such a deep hatred with Uncle Zhao, and set such a trap to kill Uncle Zhao. It seems that she has to go to Xu Chunhua again and ask her if she has seen Uncle Zhao and seen anyone else that day.

Back in Shui Tao's room, Wu Qian gave Shui Tao the ginseng soup, and sat on the side again, Shui Tao saw that Wu Qian was a little distracted, so he asked: "Brother Wu Qian, what's wrong with you? Why are you a little uneasy?"

Wu Qian turned his head and said with a solemn face: "Uncle Zhao may have been killed by someone. ”

"What!" Shui Tao exclaimed, the bowl could barely be held, and then asked, "How do you know that he was killed?"

"Because ginseng can't be boiled into a decoction with quinoa at all, otherwise it will be toxic," Wu Qian said.

"But Uncle Zhao clearly said that ginseng and quinoa are boiled together into a decoction with better medicinal effects," Shui Tao asked puzzled.

"So I suspect that someone deliberately misled Mr. Zhao," Mr. Wu said.

"Could it be that Uncle Zhao himself made a mistake and thought that ginseng must be good for the body, so he boiled it into a decoction with quinoa?" Shui Tao asked again.

Wu Qian seemed to be asked, and thought for a while before saying, "Probably not, who would somehow think of boiling ginseng and quinoa together into a decoction." ”

Shui Tao thought for a while, and seemed to feel that Wu Qian's words made some sense, and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"I want to go to Xu Chunhua again and ask her if she had seen Zhao Bo and seen anyone else that day," Wu Qian said.

Seeing that Wu Qian was going to investigate this matter again, Shui Tao remembered Xu Chunhua's somewhat hideous face, Shui Tao showed a trace of uneasiness, Wu Qian saw this, and comforted softly: "Xu Chunhua just looks a little scary, in fact, she is powerless, I won't have an accident." ”

Shui Tao bit her lip and said, "I know she can't hurt you, but it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, in short, be careful yourself, and run away if you're in danger." ”

Wu Qian smiled and said, "Okay, I know, I'll slip away if the situation is not good." When Shui Tao heard this, she also giggled.

Wu Qian once again stood at the entrance of Humen Lane, Humen Lane was still so dilapidated, sewage flowed sideways, and the people passing by sporadically were also in a hurry and full of sadness, it seemed that most of the people who lived in it were the lowest people in Shayun City.

Thinking of Xu Chunhua's son's tragic situation, Wu Qian's mood also became a little heavy, he took a deep breath, walked to Humen Alley, walked three hundred meters aisle, and arrived in front of Xu Chunhua's house, but the door of Xu Chunhua's house was closed, and a big lock was locked on it.

Could it be that Xu Chunhua went out? Wu Qian thought to himself. At this time, Wu Qian saw an old woman next door walking out with a stick, sitting on a stool to bask in the sun, Wu Qian walked over and asked, "Old man, how long has Xu Chunhua been out?"

"I've been out for three or four days," replied the old man.

"Three or four days!?" Wu Qian asked in some surprise.

"Yes, this lock has been locked for three or four days, and I haven't seen her come back, and I don't know when she left. The old man said.

Wu Qian thought that there must be something strange in this, so he walked to Xu Chunhua's house, and twisted the door lock with his hand, and the lock broke in response.

Wu Qian didn't pay attention to it, and walked directly into the house, the house was still the same as the last time, tattered, and the house was surrounded by walls, Wu Qian walked to the inner room again, that room was the room where Xu Chunhua's son lived, Wu Qian pushed the door open, and there was no one inside, but the stench had not yet dissipated, Wu Qian covered his nose and retreated.

"Bang", Wu Qian mentioned something on his feet, Wu Qian looked down and saw that it was the medicine jar that Xu Chunhua fell on the ground that day, the potion had dried up, and only the dried medicinal materials were scattered on the ground.

Xu Chunhua ran away with his son, and he ran in an extremely hurry, he didn't take anything away from the house, not even the medicine jar that had fallen, it must have been after Wu Qian left, Xu Chunhua fled with his son in a hurry, Wu Qian thought in his heart, but why did Xu Chunhua run away? He had no ill will towards Xu Chunhua, and he didn't want her to pay back the money, could it be that Xu Chunhua really saw that Zhao Bo had seen someone and was threatened? Wu Qian had no clue, so he had to return to Yin's mansion.

Seeing Wu Qian coming back, Shui Tao hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Wu Qian sat on the stool and said in annoyance: "Xu Chunhua ran away." ”

Shui Tao also said in disappointment: "Then the only hope is gone." ”

Just when the two of them were silent, they only heard a servant outside the door say: "Wu Gongzi, my eldest son has been able to see guests, and our family master invites you to go." ”

Wu Qian listened to it, told Shui Tao to rest well, and went over with the servant, Wu Qian walked into Yin Zhixi's house, and the servant closed the door, and there were four people sitting in the room, Yin Zhixi was sitting on the bed, and Yin Cangyu, Yin Hetai and Yun Zhongyi were sitting on the stool. As soon as Yin Zhixi saw Wu Qian, he shouted: "Actually, I'm fine, it's that the old quack doctor of Wei Xuanji said that I need to recuperate, and don't let me get out of bed, otherwise I would have come to you a long time ago." ”

Yun Zhong recalled that Yin Zhixi was disrespectful to Wei Xuanji, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, Doctor Wei is also for your good." ”

Yin Zhixi rolled his eyes and didn't speak again, this is Yin Hetai said: "Xi'er, you tell me about the situation the night before." ”

Yin Zhixi propped himself up with his hands and said: "I met Wu Qian in Linlang Pavilion that day, and I drank with him, and then I drank too much, and then I asked Xiao Er of Linlang Pavilion to send me back, and on the way, I met four masked people who attacked me, and then when I woke up, I was at home." ”

After listening to Yin Zhixi's speech, Yin Hetai raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Pick up the important ones, and say something useless." ”

Yin Zhixi muttered, "What do you want to know?"

"Have you seen clearly who the assassins were, what exercises they used, what cultivation, and what they said to you?" Yin Hetai said with a hint of impatience.
