[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

On this day, the maid, Si Qin, yawned, got up before dawn, and skillfully raised the small stove as usual. Si Qin didn't have time to react to the right hand where the medicinal materials were placed, and was pushed down to the ground with the medicine and was covered at the same time!

Si Qin was terrified, there was no one around at this moment, and she was so incompetent, Ren Siqin couldn't guess that such a thing would happen in the mansion of Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection!

How can I be so unlucky, am I going to be silenced immediately?Just as Si Qin was thinking wildly, a deep "hush" sound came from his ear, indicating that he should keep quiet. Si Qin turned his head aside with great effort. Looking at the new guest Liu Cui in the mansion!

Si Qin whimpered subconsciously and wanted to ask for help.

But Liu Cui quickly took the medicine bag from Siqin's hand, checked briefly, pulled out two medicinal materials, and walked triumphantly to a corner.Si Qin's gaze shifted with Liu Cui's walking, and when his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Si Qin was shocked, the corner was actually the master!

Lin Ruhai is well-educated, and because of Liu Cui's previous reminder, he made up medical books. At this time, he can see that the two medicinal materials that Liu Cui picked out are very similar to the trichosanthes and Achyranthes bidentata described in the book.

After Lin Ruhai finished reading the medicinal materials, his original [-]% trust in Liu Cui immediately became [-]% to [-]% at this time, and he turned around and told the housekeeper who was standing beside him: "Bring me the piano to the study!"

Then he thanked Liu Cui: "This matter is really strange, please wait a moment, old lady, let Lin go to interrogate first."

"Then can I go together?" It seemed that Lin Ruhai wanted to leave himself to investigate alone, but Liu Cui asked further worried.

"This... family ugliness should not be publicized." Lin Ruhai was a little bit concerned about face. Before Daiyu went to Jia's mansion, it might not have been the impetus of this, but now she is a house thief. According to Lin Ruhai's mind, the less people who know about it, the better.

"But I discovered this first, and secondly, I have traveled the rivers and lakes and lived more than half of my life. I have seen a lot, and I might be able to help you." How could Liu Cui let Father Lin leave him alone?Immediately asked again and again to investigate together.

Lin Ruhai thought secretly: Through observations these days, Liu Cui and the others came from the capital with clean backgrounds, and they don't seem to be sent by other forces; and because no matter what, Liu Cui's timely warning is equivalent to saving his life, It's hard for me to refuse this harmless request.

"Then... there will be Mrs. Lao!" Lin Ruhai clasped his hands, obviously agreeing.

"It's okay, it's my honor to be able to help Mr. Lin!" People in this world always like to hide some things, lest one more person will know; however, it is always beneficial to try more.No, I will have a chance to know about Lin Ruhai's affairs.Liu Cui sighed secretly in her heart.

On this side, the butler ordered Si Qin to follow behind him, pretending that he took Si Qin away to give a lecture, but the two chose a hidden place, and after a while, they both entered Lin Ruhai's study.

Ever since Si Qin found out that her master was present, she has been quiet, doing whatever she was asked to do, without resisting at all.

Several people gathered in Lin Ruhai's study. Lin Ruhai sat behind the desk with a straight face, looking very dignified, then threw the medicine bag at Si Qin's feet and asked, "Si Qin, you have been responsible for decocting my medicine all the time. of"

Si Qin hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Yes, master, I have always fried it."

"Then how do you explain the smallpox in it? I don't remember the doctor prescribing it."

"I am wronged, master! Although I am a decoction and know medicine, but I don't understand medicine, and I don't have the master's prescription. I just decoct according to the medicine package given to me." Si Qin began to defend.

"Then who gave you this medicine bag?" Lin Ruhai continued to interrogate.

"Yes...it's the second housekeeper in the mansion!" Si Qin pointed out.

"Diao San, call the second housekeeper over," Lin Ruhai ordered.

Of course, Diao San still complained and refused to admit that he was instigated by anyone. Lin Ruhai followed the vines all the way to find seven or eight suspicious places, but he couldn't find who was harming him.

Most of the rhizomes in the traditional Chinese medicine shop are similar, and the amount of trichosanthin is very small. Even if a star and a half is mixed in the medicine, ordinary people can't find it.

Even though Lin Ruhai was extremely intelligent, he was helpless when encountering such a situation, and he didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.As a result, the scene was at an impasse for a moment. Seeing everyone's bewildered and ignorant expressions, Lin Ruhai could only wave his hand, and take these people down for strict monitoring, and make a decision later.

After all these people went down, Liu Cui, who had been serving as the background board, finally spoke out: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I have a way to know the real culprit behind this scene."

"Oh, what's the old lady's opinion?" Lin Ruhai exclaimed secretly in her heart that the old lady was indeed not an ordinary person.

"Just now I saw Master Lin whispering a few words to the butler, presumably to ask the butler to search the rooms of those people to see if there is any extra trichosanthes."

"Well, the old lady's guess is right. If you catch a thief and take the stolen goods, there will definitely be clues." Lin Ruhai speculated with conventional thinking.

"It's true to say so, but those who can use this insidious trick to harm Mr. Lin must be very cautious and will not show their feet easily. Besides, this day's pollen was originally only put a little at a time for storage and carrying. It's a bit difficult to get the remaining trichosanthes."

Lin Ruhai stroked his mustache, and did not continue to follow Liu Cui's words.

Liu Cui didn't care, she took a sip of tea to clear her throat and continued to analyze: "Since this is the case, it is very difficult to find criminal evidence from the source, why don't we push it backwards?"

"Backwards" Lin Ruhai was very curious about this term.

"Yes, backwards, we only need to reverse: as long as Mr. Lin weakens or dies, who will benefit; and then check who these suspects have communicated with recently, or what kind of money they have made recently. Just like that."

"It makes sense...but if I'm really poisoned...there are quite a few people who can benefit from it, so it's still a bit difficult to investigate." Lin Ruhai obviously had other expectations for Liu Cui.

"Then this is Mr. Lin's own business. I don't know anything." Liu Cui refused with a smile.

Only when Lin Ruhai becomes vigilant can he live longer.Moreover, Liu Cui's current power is still too small to bring Lin Ruhai under his wing.

Lin Ruhai's eyes flickered after listening to Liu Cui's "backward reasoning method": I am a piece of fat, and there are many people who miss themselves... There are not a few people!

I don't know how many people are secretly looking forward to their own death. As an official, they have offended many people openly and secretly...

The author has something to say:

The reverse derivation method was made up by the author, but it is actually the method of counter-evidence in the proof questions often done in high school mathematics~

To be honest, I have the urge to write vertically (cover my face.jpg)
