Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Silver Needle Tests the Poison
"This is the silver needle that Lord Song used to test?" Yang An asked, holding the silver needle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's right, there's a lot more here, I'll take them all. Sakura said as she took out a silver needle and pricked it back and forth in Cairi.
"This is a dead man, you can eat these dishes!"
"Well, I'm full!" Sakura said with some embarrassment.
"How many places don't even have porridge to drink, so you won't eat it, you're not afraid of thunder and thunder!"
"Then you either eat, or ah, you send it to those who don't have anything to eat!"
"Huh?"
"Hey, you can't eat it!" Sakura felt that she had stumped Yang An.
"Look at your silver needle!" Yang An pointed to the silver needle in Sakura's hand.
"It's darkened, this dish is poisonous?"
"What dish did you just try?"
"I've tried all of these four dishes!"
"You take out four more silver needles and try each one!"
Sakura did as Yang An said, and then two or four silver needles were placed on the table and waited quietly.
"Eggs!" the two said in unison.
"Boss, how can this egg be poisonous?" Sakura shouted.
When everyone heard this, they all started to talk, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran over and said, "Girl, you can't talk nonsense, I still have to do business!"
"Look, look, you see, the silver needles have turned black, isn't it poisonous? Even a three-year-old child knows that silver needles only turn black when they encounter poisonous things. Sakura was determined.
"This, this, Xiao Er, quickly call the chef out!" the shopkeeper couldn't say anything, so he had to call the cook.
"You say this dish is poisonous?" a fat-brained cook ran out.
"Of course, the silver needles have turned black!"
"I know the dishes I make myself, I say it's not poisonous, it's not poisonous, I don't believe I eat it for you!"
Yang An thought to himself, this cook is really fierce, forget it, don't let him lose his life for a gamble, and he was about to stop it, but the cook had already grabbed a handful of eggs and fed them to his mouth.
"You see how dare he eat. The people around whispered.
"You don't know, this cook also values his reputation very much, even more than his life, and it is okay to kill him, and it is not good to say that his food is not good. ”
Yang An also admired his courage, but Sakura circled around the cook a few times, and her eyes were like looking at a monster.
Sakura said suspiciously, "Are you okay?"
"Of course it's fine!"
"That's weird, how can the silver needle turn black?"
Yang An didn't understand either, could it be that there was something wrong with the silver needle, Yang An thought about going out with the silver needle.
"Brother Yang, where are you going?"
Yang An didn't pay attention to Sakura, looked around on the street, and finally found a medicinal herb shop, Jirentang, and bought four coins of arsenic. As soon as Sakura arrived, Yang An had already come out, bought a few more eggs, and returned to the inn, and Yang An did not answer Sakura's questions along the way.
Back in the room, Yang An beat the eggs into the bowl, took another bowl and sprinkled the arsenic from Jirentang into the bowl, and stirred it with water. Then, Yang An took out two silver needles, put them in a bowl, and took them out from time to time, and both silver needles turned black.
"How so? It's normal for arsenic to turn black, why do eggs turn black?" Sakura asked, puzzled.
"There are even stranger things!" Yang An took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms.
"What is this?"
"Arsenic in the Medicine Immortal Hall!"
"What's so strange?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this arsenic, the silver needle won't turn black when it meets him!"
"How is this possible, the silver needle is used to test arsenic, how can it not be black!" Sakura didn't believe Yang An's words at all this time.
"Just wait and see!"
The result made Sakura stunned, the silver needle did not change color at all, Yang An said: "Although I don't know why the arsenic of the Medicine Immortal Hall can't even be tested by the silver needle, but I can be sure that the deceased that Lord Song and Lord Song checked before their lives all died under the arsenic of the Medicine Immortal Hall." ”
"I see, but we still don't know who killed Lord Song, if you say this, the old lady sent someone to Yaoxian Hall to buy arsenic, and she is more likely!"
"It is impossible for ordinary people to know that the arsenic of Yaoxiantang has this property, perhaps, only a few people in Yaoxiantang know, or perhaps, even the people of Yaoxiantang don't know. It is even more impossible for Old Madam Song to know, except for the people from the Medicine Immortal Hall who know this characteristic, the only person may be Lord Song, but the victim is him, which is indeed incredible. ”
"Brother Yang, are you still going to check Lord Song's body?"
"No, the cause of his death is already known, and there is no point in looking at it again. The only direction we can find now is the Medicine Immortal Hall, let's go meet the shopkeeper of the Medicine Immortal Hall for a while!"
"Good. ”
The room is so elegantly furnished, and there are so many strange things, Yang An really can't wait to meet this shopkeeper.
"Where did the shopkeeper Zhao come from?" Suddenly, a handsome boy came from outside, his face was like a crown of jade, and even Yang An was compared.
"In Xia Yang'an, it's not a shopkeeper Zhao, but I just asked to see him, and the doorman said that the shopkeeper's study of catechesis and didn't see outsiders, so he told a lie, and asked the shopkeeper to be strange. Yang An gave up his hand to show reparation.
"Yang An, is that Yang An, who hit Mongolia hard?" the young man was polite.
"If the shopkeeper heard correctly, and I don't remember correctly, I'm probably that Yang An. ”
"Oh, then you lie too well, please sit down, it's really a little brother's luck to have a chance to be a big hero like Brother Yang, in Xia Wen Ruyu, Brother Yang doesn't want to be a shopkeeper!"
"Okay, Brother Wen Xian is happy, but he doesn't dare to be a big hero, a layman, unlike Brother Wen Xian, not only is he good at Qi Huang, but he is also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know anything about this piano and this painting in your room!"
"People, if you do one thing to the extreme, you can be called a saint, Brother Yang said that I am proficient in everything, it really torments me, these things are just learning from those literati and ink writers, vassal elegance. Brother Yang came here today, not just to talk about the piano with him!"
"Then Yang An got straight to the point, Yang An bought arsenic four coins from your place a few days ago, and after going back, he used a silver needle to inspect it, and found that it was not black. According to the record of my Great Song Ti criminal officer, Lord Song Ci, the silver is black when it encounters arsenic, so come and ask me if Yang An will buy fake medicine!"
"Brother Yang, just kidding! I can't hide it, I made this medicine secretly, and I also know that it can't be tested by silver needles, it's not a fake medicine, just rest assured." ”
"I don't know how Brother Wen Xian made it?"
"A unique secret recipe, forgive me!"
"And did you tell anyone about it?"
"I never dare to mention it to anyone, but as long as someone buys it back and tries it with a silver needle, they will find out!"
"There aren't many people who buy poisons, and there are very few who can experiment with silver needles, and there aren't too many people I want to know. ”
"Maybe Brother Yang is right!"
"Since that's the case, Yang An won't bother!"
