Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

Madam He suddenly had nothing to say, she could only stare blankly, she was humiliated by Ni Yexin, but she didn't know how to fight back, her face flushed red with anger.

He Wan felt complacent now, and said with a smile: "I don't blame my sister for not being able to see it, after all, it's reasonable for my sister not to be able to see it."

"You!" Mrs. He almost rushed up to fight He Wan.

Ni Yexin said: "Then can you tell me now, what did you do in the kitchen last night? Although you didn't entertain guests in the room, you suddenly disappeared and appeared in the back mountain. There is also no one to testify for you. There are still suspicions."

He Wan was still complacent, but in the end Ni Yexin gave her a red date and then beat her hard with a stick, making He Wan wilt instantly.

He Wan was somewhat reluctant, but she still opened her mouth and said, "I went to the kitchen to get medicine."

"Take the medicine?" Murong Yu immediately frowned.

The people in the kitchen said that only disciples were decocting medicine for Ni Yexin in the small room for decocting medicine, and they did not see other people decocting medicine in it, but He Wan said that she was there to get medicine.

Ni Yexin said, "When did you go and what medicine did you take?"

He Wan didn't want to say, but it actually had something to do with face.

She only went to the kitchen when it was dark, she just didn't want people to notice her.At that time, everyone in the kitchen was busy, and she thought that no one saw her.

He Wan went to get medicine, she said she went to get medicine for her father.

It turned out that the matter had something to do with the Eighth Master Uncle, and Murong Changqing's face was drawn out by the Eighth Master Uncle's blood, and it won't heal for a while.Eighth Master Uncle had no choice but to sneak some medicine out of face, and didn't ask his disciples to decoct the medicine for external application.

Uncle Eight had no choice but to find his youngest daughter He Wan, and asked if He Wan had any medicine to treat the wound, but unfortunately, He Wan didn't have it here either, so He Wan said to get some medicine for her father.

Uncle Eight didn't want to publicize it, so He Wan didn't go until it was dark, first went to the warehouse to get some medicinal materials, and then took them to the small room in the kitchen to cook for a while.Because it is a medicine for external application, it does not need to be fried for a long time.So she left quickly, and after getting some topical medicine, she immediately went to Master Eight's place.

He Wan said: "I went to my father's place, and I went back to my room. When I was decocting the medicine, I didn't see anyone, but I saw a medicine pot next to it cooking on fire, and I thought there must be someone there for a while." I came back, so after I got the medicine, I left immediately without staying. Before I left, no one came in."

The small room in the kitchen is only used for cooking medicine, and there is a small door that can be closed, and He Wan is inside with the door closed, and the outside does not know what she is doing.At that time, the people in the kitchen only remembered that He Wan had come and gone, and didn't see what she did, so they couldn't testify against He Wan.

Mrs. He said: "You are very good at making up stories, and I even brought out the Eighth Master to support you."

"I'm not lying." He Wan stared, then suddenly smiled and said, "Oh right, sister, I forgot if you didn't tell me. Last night, didn't your disciple also go to the kitchen? No Could it be that you sent your disciples to poison you?"

Mrs. He suddenly heard her mentioning this, and said, "My disciple goes there every day to bring me food. It's not surprising."

He Wan said that when she left yesterday, she happened to see a disciple enter the kitchen.She vaguely remembered that the disciple belonged to Mrs. He.Mrs. He would indeed ask her disciples to serve meals every day, because Mrs. He's particular about food was different from what they ate.But the disciple who went yesterday was different from the usual one.

He Wan just took a look, the disciple guessed that he hadn't seen her, went in to serve the food, and then scolded the kitchen staff, disliked them for being too slow.

He Wan said: "Go and call that disciple. I think she is the most suspicious. She was definitely instructed by my sister to do something she shouldn't do."

Mrs. He blushed with anger, but she really asked someone to call that disciple.It was a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen, very young, and she lowered her head when she walked over. There was a heavy slap on her left cheek, so she didn't dare to raise her head.

Ni Yexin was taken aback for a moment, the slap must have been slapped by someone, and the slap was really hard.

The disciple seemed to be a little frightened when he was called over, with his head lowered and he looked very peaceful.

Mrs. He said, "Tell them, what did you do in the kitchen yesterday? Did you do anything else?"

The disciple was terrified, and hurriedly said, "I went to the kitchen to serve the master dinner last night, and I didn't do anything else."

She said, subconsciously touching her face.

Because the disciple who served Mrs. He's meal was sick today, so this young disciple was replaced to serve the meal. Because he was not familiar with it, he came back a little slower, and he brought a wrong dish, and Madam He whipped him a big one. Mouth, face is still red now, burning hot pain, dare not raise your head to show others.

After this round of questioning, no one admitted to being poisoned, and there was no progress after cross-examination.

Murong Changqing was afraid that Ni Yexin would feel tired if he stood for too long, so he took him away quickly.

On the way back, Ni Yexin suddenly pulled Murong Changqing's sleeve and said, "Let's go to the kitchen and see those medicine pots."

Murong Changqing was very helpless, but he still took Ni Yexin to go.

When they got to the kitchen, they saw He Xiangshen and Murong Yu just in time. It turned out that those two people were also here, what a coincidence.

Murong Yu said, "You guys are here too."

Ni Yexin said: "Let me take a look at these medicine pots. If no one touches the medicine when decocting it, then there are several other possibilities."

Murong Chang said affectionately, "What?"

Ni Yexin said: "First, the medicinal materials themselves have been tampered with."

Murong Yu immediately shook his head and said, "No, there is no problem with the medicinal materials. Yesterday I checked the residues of the medicinal materials after decoction, and there is no problem with the medicinal materials."

Ni Yexin said: "Then there is only one possibility left, that is, someone tampered with the medicine pot in advance."

He Xiangshen said, "This..."

He Xiangshen seemed to think it was impossible, and led them into the small room in the kitchen.

There are also a lot of people in the kitchen at the moment, and they are all busy.The small room is inside the kitchen, separated from the kitchen by a door. When the door is opened, there is a small room inside, but it is quite spacious, so it does not look very small.

On the three walls facing the door, there are medicine pots, one next to the other, densely packed, and there are countless medicine pots.

As soon as Ni Yexin came in, he understood what He Xiangshen was hesitating just now. There are really a lot of medicine pots here. When the disciple decocted the medicine, he might use which medicine pot. In which cauldron was poisoned?

Ni Yexin looked around, and then fixed his eyes on the large water tank on the right.

The middle part of the room is empty, and there is a large water tank on the right hand side of the door, which must be prepared for decoction, so that the medicine can be decocted directly without going out to fetch water.

Ni Yexin walked over and looked into the water tank. There was water in it, which was very clear.

After Ni Yexin finished reading, she turned her head to look at the small medicine pots next to the water tank.

It is not every day that people get sick in Wuming Villa, and most of the martial arts practitioners are in good health, so this room is not often used.

Soil had fallen on many of the medicine pots, and they had not been used for a long time at first glance. There were no traces of burning, and the medicine pots were all clean.

However, the medicine pots at the door are often used at first glance, and the bottom of the pots are all black, which is definitely because it is closer to the water tank.

It is closer to the water tank, and whoever scoops it from the water tank can pour it directly into the pot without running around, and it is more convenient to enter from the door.

Ni Yexin looked down, squatted down and squatted in front of the medicine pot next to the water tank.

Ni Yexin took a look, then opened the lid of the medicine pot closest to the water tank, then opened the lid of the medicine pot next to it, turned over three times in a row, and suddenly said: "So that's how it is."

Murong Changqing stood beside him and said, "What's going on?"

Murong Changqing pointed to the third medicinal pot and said, "Did you use this medicinal pot to decoct the medicine for me?"

Murong Yu was taken aback, nodded, and said, "It's this one, how do you know?"

Ni Yexin pointed to the first medicinal pot, which was the closest to the water tank, and said, "If I were to cook the medicine, for convenience, I would definitely use this medicinal pot to cook the medicine. The closest to the water tank is also the closest to the door. The most convenient. But you see..."

Ni Yexin opened the lid of the medicinal pot, pointed to them, and said, "But the medicinal pot is dirty."

When everyone looked at it, they immediately saw that the inside of the lid of the medicine pot was dirty, and they didn't know what had been done there. It seemed to be mud, but it was dirty anyway.

Ni Yexin opened the lid of the next medicine pot again, and said: "Then that disciple probably put the lid down, and went to lift the lid of the second medicine pot. Unfortunately, this second medicine pot is also dirty. .”

"It's really like this." Murong Yu opened his eyes wide, the lid of the second medicine pot was also dirty, it was really strange.

Ni Yexin lifted the lid of the third medicine pot, which was used by his disciples to decoct medicine for him, and the third medicine pot was clean.

Ni Yexin said: "He lifted the lids of the three medicine pots in succession and found that only the third one was clean, so he just used the third medicine pot."

Murong Chang said emotionally: "Someone intentionally soiled two medicine pots and scared the poison in the third medicine pot?"

Ni Yexin nodded and said, "It's very possible."

Ni Yexin clapped her hands and stood up, and said, "By the way, which medicine pot did He Wan use?"

Murong Yu said: "She didn't say anything, we came here to see if what He Wan said was true."

He Wan said that she was cooking medicine in a pot, so He Xiangshen and Murong Yu came here to see if what she was telling was true.

Ni Yexin looked around, then ran to the innermost corner, squatted on the ground to watch, then lifted a medicine pot and smelled it, and said, "Is it this?"

The medicine pot that has been used recently is actually easy to distinguish from the outside, and if you look at the firewood burning under the medicine pot, it is almost the same.

Murong Yu walked over, picked up the medicine pot, leaned closer to smell it, and said, "This is it."

The medicinal pot was just used yesterday, and it smelled like traditional Chinese medicine. Although it had been washed, it still had a strong smell. Murong Yu could easily identify it after smelling it.

Murong Yu said: "It is true that someone has fried some medicine for external application in this pan."

As Murong Yu said, he took advantage of the light to look into the pot again.The medicine pot had indeed been washed, but it must have been done in a hurry, and there were two sticky things stuck in it, which were dark, but Ni Yexin couldn't recognize what it was anyway.

Murong Yu let out a "Huh", and strangely reached out to take out the two kinds of medicinal residues in the medicine pot, and then showed a surprised expression.

Ni Yexin leaned over, looked left and then again, and said, "Junior Brother, why can't I see what this is?"

Murong Yu said: "They are two different medicinal materials."

"Ah?" Ni Yexin said in surprise: "Isn't it the same? Why do I look the same?"

Murong Yu said: "The difference is not the point, the point is that these two medicinal materials are not for external application to treat wounds."

"What is that for?" Ni Yexin asked in surprise.

Murong Yu said, "It's for abortion."

"Ah?" Ni Yexin's eyes widened, and said, "For abortion?"

He Xiangshen was also taken aback, and said, "For abortion?"

Naturally, the abortion medicine couldn't be used by Master Eighth. Everyone thought of He Wan by coincidence. Could it be that He Wan used it?

Ni Yexin said: "Before, He Wan refused to say what she did in the kitchen. But He Daxia said that he went to look for him last night, but He Wan said it was inconvenient to see him. Now that I think about it, it's really strange."

He Xiangshen said, "Could it be the medicinal materials left in the pot before?"

After He Xiangshen finished speaking, he also felt that something was wrong. There were very few female disciples in this unnamed villa, and they were basically young, and it was never heard of anyone who was pregnant and had to have an abortion.

Murong Yu said: "It was indeed accidentally left in the pot, and it was fried once with the externally applied medicine. But it didn't stay in the pot for a long time. I think He Wan probably used this pot to fry a dose of abortion medicine first." , and then I used this pan to fry the external wound medicine."

Ni Yexin looked very gossipy, and said: "He Wan is pregnant, but she wants to drink abortion pills, so she's gone. The child in her stomach is definitely not her deceased husband's."

There is no need for Ni Yexin to say this, everyone has thought of it.

That senior brother He Xiangshen is dead, and he has no children at all. If He Wan is pregnant, but hides it and wants to abort the child, it is obviously unreasonable. There is only one possibility, the child in her belly Not her husband's at all.

Ni Yexin said: "I don't know who the child is. But I think I can suddenly understand what Yan Baili said."

Yan Baili once said that he heard the former martial arts leader and He Wan quarreling, and when the former martial arts leader became violent, He Wan didn't call for help, but ran over to try to smother her husband to death.

At that time they thought what Yan Baili said was really weird, but now that they think about it, it makes sense.

If He Xiangshen's senior brother knew at that time that his concubine had an affair with someone else and was pregnant with a bastard, he would naturally be very angry.

But for the sake of face, he kept quiet for the time being, and just quarreled with He Wan secretly.But who would have thought that he would die suddenly, and the fact that He Wan was pregnant with a child was concealed.

Outsiders only knew that He Wan was more favored by her husband than Mrs. He, but they didn't know that there was a sudden fatal conflict between them, and even Mrs. He didn't know about it.

And He Wan didn't want to say what she did in the kitchen last night, in fact, it wasn't for the face of her father and uncle, but to hide her own affairs.

Ni Yexin felt that Uncle Eighth probably didn't know about this matter, He Wan just took advantage of the time when he was decocting medicine for his father, and secretly decocted medicine for herself, using his father as a cover.

If it wasn't for Murong Yu's proficiency in the art of Gu poison, and his overnight medical skills, they would not have discovered these things at all.

Ni Yexin said: "But then again, it seems that this has nothing to do with poisoning me. Also, He Wan's sudden disappearance, is there any connection with this matter?"

Everyone was silent for a while, they discovered a big secret, but it seemed that it just made the previous things more complicated, and it didn't have any deciphering effect at all.

Ni Ye felt a headache, Murong Changqing said: "You have been out for too long, let's go back first."

Ni Yexin had no choice but to nod her head. After all, the room is such a small place, so there is nothing suspicious about it.

Murong Yu and He Xiangshen stayed behind, and Murong Yu had to check the two medicine pots carefully.

Ni Yexin was supported by Murong Changqing to go back to the room, and then Ni Yexin sat down on the bed, stretched out his hand to ask Murong Changqing to undress him, looking like a rich man.

The room was relatively warm, and Ni Yexin was so hot that he was sweating, and the clothes were too heavy, making him uncomfortable.

Murong Changqing helped him take off the clothes one by one, Ni Yexin just raised his hands, still thinking about what happened just now, and looked a little dazed for a moment.

After waiting for a while, Ni Yexin suddenly felt cold, looked down and was shocked, and said, "Wait, hero, what are you doing?"

"Undress you." Murong Chang said calmly, but there was a malicious smile on his lips.

Ni Yexin quickly grabbed herself and said, "This is the undershirt, if you take it off again, it will be naked!"
