After nightfall, Zhou Yi came out of his mother's room, glanced left and right a few times, and sighed at the night. When he was about to go out, he saw Zhong Yu carrying a lantern followed by two maids. Zhou Yi was startled, looked carefully behind her, and didn't see a magpie following, his expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly stopped Zhong Yu and said, "Mother just took medicine and has fallen asleep, now she needs to recuperate, you better not go in." ”

Zhong Yu didn't raise his head, and said coldly: "Why, can't I even go in to see my mother? Is there no place I can go to this Baihe Mountain in the future?"

"I don't mean anything else, now my mother really needs to rest, I only arranged for Yun'er to serve inside, and no one else should go in to disturb me, including my father. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhong Yu had nothing to say, turned around and nodded to the maid behind him, and the maid presented a lunch box and handed it to Zhou Yi.

Zhong Yu didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "This is the ginseng soup I made for my mother, you can check whether there is poison in it! If you don't worry, send it to your mother for me!"

Zhou Yi's heart was cold and dumbfounded. Seeing that she turned away with a blank face, he didn't know how to explain it to her.

"Sister ......"

Zhong Yu heard him shout, stopped before he reached the door, and asked in a cold tone: "Sister, don't you only have Miss Yu in your heart?"

Zhou Yi walked over slowly and said in a harmonious voice: "I did it today, and I have no choice but to do it, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

"Do you have to be in love?" Zhong Yu scoffed at his explanation, "You can't get off the stage in front of so many people, you don't ask right or wrong, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, you protect her with one mind, you actually say that you have to be in love!"

Zhou Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "Mother's condition is critical, if you can't find the culprit, you won't get a prescription for detoxification, I already have the evidence that she murdered my mother, I just need to check it well to make her restrain her, how do I know that you will bring someone to make such a scene! Yu Xi is naturally vigilant, once she startles the snake, she will definitely be more cautious, and it is impossible to investigate her silently." I did this in order to dispel her suspicions and let me find her flaws as soon as possible. ”

Listening to his eloquent words, Zhong Yu believed it, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, and immediately shed two lines of tears, "I thought it was ......"

Zhou Yi's expression moved slightly, and he sighed in a low voice: "For the sake of my mother, I have to do this." There were a lot of people during the day, and I couldn't explain it to you in time, which made you feel wronged!"

Zhong Yu wiped away his tears, his mood eased a little, and asked softly, "How is my mother now?"

Zhou Yi raised his right hand slightly, there was gauze wrapped around it, and it was full of blood, "You can rest assured." My blood could have been able to detoxify a hundred poisons, but my mother's poisoning was too deep, and it could only be suppressed temporarily, and now it is not a big deal, as long as I get the evidence of Yu Xi's crime, I can force her to hand over the antidote!"

When Zhong Yu heard this, he immediately became energetic and hurriedly said, "Mother fell ill after drinking the wine she brewed, isn't that enough?"

Zhou Yi said: "Ten days have passed since my mother's birthday, and during this time, the ten jars of wine are not in Yu Xi's place, during this period, all the maids have the possibility of committing crimes, and these will become the excuses she has developed for herself, so these alone are far from enough to make her confess." ”

Zhong Yu thought about it, and then said, "Then why don't you open the other jars of wine one by one and check them......

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Yi interrupted her, "Since she sincerely harmed her mother, will she leave us any other evidence? I can almost conclude that there is only one jar of poisoned wine, if we take the liberty to verify the remaining jars of wine, once we find that there is nothing unusual in it, it is tantamount to excusing her!"

Zhong Yu became anxious when he heard it, sighing and sighing.

Zhou Yi pondered with his hands behind his back, and said: "Think about it carefully, Yu Xi has already arranged a retreat for herself, Master Tai's hundred days of sacrifice, the people of Wuxiang Mountain will definitely come to worship, and she can take the opportunity to leave with Yu Guangling." Therefore, she only made her hands and feet in a jar of wine, the purpose of which was to poison her mother later, so that she could leave enough time to leave Baihe Mountain. When she is gone, she will be able to leave her with all the goodness of her mother! If I can't get hold of her for a short time, and I can't trap her in the mountains for a long time, I can only let her go. That's why you came here today to stir up the situation, and I'm so angry. ”

Zhong Yu gritted his teeth and paused: "What a vicious woman!"

Zhou Yi sighed slightly, "This is the result she wants...... The purpose is to create a false impression that someone is to blame, so that I can't bear to do it to her. It seems that she has been premeditated for a long time! Unfortunately, I have not guessed her motives, otherwise there would be no clue about this matter. ”

Zhong Yu listened to his words, and couldn't help but be shocked, the magpie had analyzed the current situation for her during the day, and sure enough, they were all said by Zhou Yi one by one, it seems that the magpie knows people and judges, and it is really superior, so her trust in the magpie in her heart has become more and more firm.

"Brother, do you have anything you can do?

"Now my mother's condition is capricious, and I don't have enough time to check her properly," he said, with a long sigh, "If it goes on like this, I really don't have any good way to deal with her, and what I told you just now is only a suspicion of her, and I can't do evidence." ”

Zhong Yu nodded silently, thinking of something in his heart, he had the intention of leaving. So he didn't say anything more, so he said goodbye to Zhou Yi and left with his entourage.

It was empty in the middle of the night, and there was no one. Zhou Yi looked at her departing back, squinted and smiled slightly, a game of chess against her and the magpie had been rolled out, just waiting for her to come and die!

was in a trance, when suddenly Hong Yuan tiptoed over and said in a low voice: "Sima Gongzi went to look for you and said that you should go to him, and someone is waiting for you." ”

Zhou Yi was stunned, came back to his senses, handed the lunch box in his hand to Hongyuan, and ordered: "Bring this back, and then call a few people to guard it, no one is allowed to trespass without permission." ”

==***==

When he came to Sima Chun's residence, Sima Chun had already passed his coat and was waiting for him at the door, as soon as the two met, they didn't enter the door, so they went to Murong Xue together, of course, Yu Xi was waiting there. 8090 Chinese

As soon as he entered the door, Yu Xi hurriedly greeted him, his eyes were red and swollen, and he seemed to be still crying, and asked him with a panicked expression: "How is Madame's illness?

Sima Chun and Murong Xue were also restless, and hurriedly invited him to take a seat, and Murong Xue poured tea and waited for him to elaborate.

Zhou Yi said: "What my mother is in is the poison of strychnine. ”

"Nux Nux!"

Sima Chun was taken aback, "I have heard of this medicine, its toxicity is fierce, a small amount can be used to treat diseases, and a lot can kill people!"

"That's right, I have also seen records about it in Mr. Gongsun's medical books, and in recent years, some people have tried to use it to treat diseases, but the dosage is always difficult to grasp, so there are often fatal cases. ”

Yu Xi hurriedly asked, "Since you are sure that it is this poison, do you have a way to save it?"

Zhou Yi saw that her brows were tightly knit, worried and tired, obviously very worried about his mother's condition, which made him particularly moved. She also knows that at this moment, outsiders are gossiping behind her back, but what she is worried about is Zhang's body, who can understand the grievances of Akagi and no one who trusts her.

"Don't worry, my mother is fine. This herb is produced locally, and the original medicinal properties are not too poisonous, and it has been soaked in wine, so the medicinal properties are urgent but not strong. It just so happened that my blood could detoxify, and I prescribed some conditioning antidotes, and now I am much better. ”

When Yu Xi heard this, the sadness on his face gradually faded, he sighed, turned around and sat on the chair inside, without saying a word.

Sima Chun understood his intentions, then turned the topic to the person who poisoned him, and asked, "Do you have eyebrows, who did this?"

Zhou Yi said: "Except for a few of us, anyone is possible!" He stood up and drank the cup of tea, "It can be concluded that the poison in my mother did come from the altar of pure lotus wine, but who poisoned it, I am still just guessing, and I can't confirm it for the time being." ”

When Yu Xi heard this, he immediately turned around, glared at him and asked, "Are you sure that the wine is poisonous?"

Zhou Yi said in a calm tone: "Don't be in a hurry first, listen to me slowly." It was indeed poisonous, and that was right, and I had examined it myself. However, although the wine was given by you and Miss Murong, I believe that the two of you will never be able to do such a thing. ”

Murong Xue looked helpless and very frustrated, "That being said, from picking lotus leaves to boiling wine and sealing the warehouse, all the processes are done by me and Yu Xi, although you believe in us, but besides us, who has the opportunity to poison?"

Zhou Yi played with the teacup, suddenly laughed, and beckoned to the three of them: "You come with me." ”

After that, he carried a lantern and walked straight to Yuxi's brewing workshop.

At that time, the Taoist boys who were ordered to seal up the workshop were still watching, and Zhou Yi divided them and ordered them to come to guard after dawn tomorrow, and not to make a noise outside.

After the Taoist children left, Zhou Yi asked Yu Xi to lead the way, and he found the wine lees left that day.

The whole workshop smelled bad, but mixed with a strange smell of herbs, which was so subtle that it was difficult for others to smell it, and only those who paid attention could taste it.

Zhou Yi took a lantern and carefully checked the wine lees, and sure enough, he found some herbs the size of elm money, "This is strychnine!"

Yu Xi was shocked, his mouth open, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Yi smiled: "I'm surprised, right? You obviously didn't let it go in the wine-making process, so how could it appear in this wine lees?"

Yu Xi fell into a deep thought, frowned, covered his head with one hand, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized: "Someone put these herbs in the lotus seeds!

"That's right, depending on its shape, if it is mixed with the withered lotus platform, it is extremely difficult to distinguish, so someone must have taken advantage of this and put the strychnine into the lotus seeds of the hibiscus stream in advance! So, when Hongyuan came back from the mountain this morning and told me that all the strychnine in the drugstores under the mountain had been bought out, I realized that something was wrong. In addition, when I entered the door, I smelled the medicinal smell in the sake lees, so I thought that the brewed wine had been poisoned. ”

"The huge hibiscus stream, it is by no means an easy task to mix these herbs with all the lotus seeds! How can the other party release poison so accurately?" asked Sima Chun suspiciously.

Zhou Yi smiled coldly, and said with a ruthless face: "So the other party must have known Yu Xi in advance! Moreover, she is also an expert in winemaking, and it is not difficult to know which lotus seeds Yu Xi can cook, and then start." ”

Sima Chun said: "In this case, then go to the Shanxia pharmacy to check the people who bought the medicine, and a month ago, who has been to Furong Stream, don't you know?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "Since the other party has started, he will definitely not let us find any clues in the pharmacy." Moreover, there are many people in Baihe Mountain, and it is extremely difficult to check the people coming and going in Furong Stream, so it will not work to be so blind. However, people are watching the sky, I also went to Furong Stream a month ago, and there is a person who I think is extremely suspicious!"

"Who?"

"Magpie!"

(The magic is one foot high, the road is one foot high, Zhou Yi come on!Friends, remember to vote!)
