Wu Qi has been traveling all the time, and she didn't know that such a big event happened at home during the time she was away from home.He didn't believe it was said that the brothers in the family had come to this point because of a dispute over the family property.Even if the Wu family came from the mud legs of the countryside, there are still a few rotten fish and rotten shrimps in the clan, but they are not so cruel.

At first he thought it was because the Wu family developed too fast and offended some wealthy families.They also searched along this clue, and found no direct clues except that the Wu family's property was divided up by the local rich after the fall.It wasn't until Wu Si found him and contacted some of the things that happened at home some time ago that he was sure that Zhao Tong was instigating it.

"...As for why Zhao Tong did this, we still can't understand. We even checked the Zhao family in Zizhou and found that they didn't seem to have anything to do with this matter, which means that this is Zhao Tong's personal behavior. But Zhao Tong did not Although he is thoughtful, he has mediocre aptitude, and it may be difficult for him to accomplish anything alone, so I suspect that someone is instigating Zhao Tong."

Wei Zhao pressed the secret record of the harem on the table, and said, "Is it the purpose?"

Wu Qi nodded: "I suspect that the sudden death of my uncle is related to this booklet."

"Oh?" Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows to signal him to continue talking.

Wu Qi straightened out his thoughts, and said: "Outsiders think that my uncle died suddenly, but in fact, my uncle was killed with a sword pierced through his chest. If Master Wei can find out about the Wu family in Zizhou, he must also know about his uncle's death. His identity was the eunuch of the former imperial palace, and the Wu family made their fortune later on with the treasures brought out from the palace by their uncle. At that time, the people of the clan thought that someone was coming to seek revenge, so they did not dare to speak out. They only claimed that their uncle died suddenly. I think Since those people only killed one uncle and grandfather, they would not pay attention to us."

"The family property has always been arranged by my uncle to take care of it. When my uncle passed away suddenly, the people under him couldn't suppress the clansmen, and it was chaotic for a while. I thought that with a few cousins ​​suppressing, it would gradually get better. Who knows Things got worse and worse, and people were even killed. Later, it was the fourth brother who heard from a crazy brother that he said, 'I don't know where the things are'."

"The fourth brother asked him what, he just didn't know. It was then that the fourth brother suspected that the civil strife in the Wu family was not about fighting for family property, but that someone coveted something from the Wu family. But the Wu family has only developed for more than 20 years. If there is anything worth remembering by others, it is what my uncle brought out from the palace. But almost all of those things were sold by my uncle and replaced by a property shop. The rest are what my uncle is reluctant to part with and want to keep as family heirlooms. "

"And those things were found intact in my uncle's treasury when I checked them out among the Hui people. And although the things are valuable, they are not rare in a noble family that has been handed down for hundreds of years. The other party will definitely not I would make a fuss in the Wu family because of this little thing. It was only when I found out that the study room was rummaged and the harem secret record was missing that I suddenly remembered that this was also brought out by my uncle from the palace."

"My Wu family is not a big family. Although there are children who study, most of the books in the family are available in the market, and there are no rare and unique books. It can be completely concluded that they are aiming at the secrets of the harem."

Speaking of this, Wu Qi shook his head and sighed: "Uncle must not know that this book that he has forgotten will kill the entire clan. Otherwise, he would have handed over this thing immediately."

Wei Zhao digested his words: "So, you don't know what secrets are hidden in this harem secret record?"

Wu Qi shook his head: "Uncle and grandfather took this book at the beginning just to keep it for fun on the road. If there is really a big secret, uncle and grandfather will definitely confess him. I think when the murderer pressed him, uncle even I can't remember where the book was thrown, but this gave the murderer a wrong signal, thinking that my uncle had seen through the secret of the secret record. So I killed my uncle at that time, and used Zhao Tong to provoke Wu family, trying to get the whereabouts of this booklet from the other members of the Wu family.”

"It's a pity that at that time, the clansmen had been provoked and only knew how to fight for family property. The clansmen didn't like reading at all. Except for my fourth brother and I often read in the study room, few people stepped into the study room. That's why those people didn't get it immediately. Harem Secret Record."

Wei Zhao didn't speak for a long time, pondered for a long time, and then asked Wu Qi: "Does Zhao Tong have any enemies in Zizhou?"

Wu Qi thought for a while and said: "This person is hypocritical, good at hiding, and he will take revenge. Our brothers were all deceived by him. Later, when investigating Zhao, he found that the Lin family in Zizhou was quite displeased with him. Tong has always coveted Miss Lin's family, and found someone to ruin Miss Lin's reputation if he couldn't love her, so the head of the Lin family had to marry his beloved daughter away. After that, Zhao Tong's property was hit hard, and it was the fourth brother who borrowed money from him Zhou Zhuan, but it was still in vain. Later, my uncle died suddenly, and the matter of the Wu family made the fourth brother very anxious, so he has been ignoring Zhao Tong."

This matter is in line with what the mother Lin said.

"Have you found out who Zhao Tong had contact with in Zizhou?"

Wu Qi smiled wryly: "If we can find out, our brothers will not leave the capital. Maybe the fourth brother has discovered something, but the fourth brother also..."

Wei Zhao thought of the prescription in Zhao Tong's hand, and the rumors about the prescription in the palace.He asked Wu Qi: "Are you sure the Zhao family doesn't know anything about this?"

Seeing him asking this question, Wu Qi thought about it carefully, and suddenly became a little uncertain.

"The descendants of the Zhao family are weak, and the branch that stayed in Zizhou's hometown is just running the land and some shops for the Kangningbo Mansion. The Zhao Tong branch has a farther relationship with the main family, but Zhao Tong's father is good at making money, so he is from the main family. I picked up a few shops. Other collateral clansmen are still farming in the countryside. But now that Zhao Tong has entered Kangningbo’s mansion, is this really related to the Zhao family? But I really didn’t find anything in Zizhou.”

Wei Zhao's eyes suddenly flickered darkly, he knocked on the table unconsciously, and said lightly: "Whether it matters or not, we will know soon."

Zhao Tong has the prescription in the secret record in his hand, and this secret record belongs to the Wu family.Therefore, Wei Zhao is more certain than Wu Qi that the reason for the destruction of the Wu family is because of this harem secret record, and Zhao Tong was indeed instigated by others.The convenience of this medicine was left to Zhao Tong by the other party, which was regarded as an exchange of benefits.And Zhao Tong did gain Xiao Zhang's trust because of this prescription.

It can be seen from this that the Zhao family may not have known about the secret record of the harem.But the murder of the eldest sister may not have nothing to do with the Zhao family.Since the Secret Record of the Harem comes from the Harem of the previous dynasty, the only people who know its existence and know the secrets of this book at the same time are the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In this regard, Changsun Ke is obviously more capable than Wei Zhao, so after leaving Bieyuan, Wei Zhao immediately went home to have a friendly exchange with Changsun Ke, but was stopped by the little drug boy of the old doctor Lin on the way. It is said that old doctor Lin has prepared the liquid medicine, and even the silver needles have been soaked.

Wei Zhao immediately turned around and went to the courtyard of old doctor Lin, just by chance, Changsun Ke was also there.There is also a ewe that is about to give birth.

"Suddenly I can't bear it." Wei Zhao muttered in a low voice.

If Huo Bo'er was still there, he would definitely nod along with empathy.You must know that Huo Baoer almost grew up with Wei Zhao. This master was so delicate when he was a child, he couldn't bear to step on an ant.

Xiaolou brought it up halfway, who knew Wei Zhao's glory days, he couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words, and said, "Young Master, how can you bear it when you eat roasted whole lamb?"

Wei Zhao: "...the roasted whole lamb is dead when brought up!"

Xiaolou: "Isn't life and death all sheep? Isn't this sheep just for food when it grows up?"

Old Doctor Lin was impatient with their argument, and said angrily, "Do you want to try the medicine or not?"

Wei Zhao: "Try it, I..." He rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.

Changsun Ke said: "The sun is too poisonous, you go over there to hide in the shade, and I will call you when it is done."

Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Changsun Ke.

Old Doctor Lin snorted twice, and muttered to himself, "I've never seen someone so timid."

Changsun Ke looked at Wei Zhao's panicked back, and said in a low voice, "He's not timid, he just doesn't like blood, he doesn't like killing."

Old doctor Lin glanced at him, said nothing, and began to perform acupuncture.

"This is a silver needle that has just been soaked, and it is very effective." Old doctor Lin injected the needle, and soon the ewe showed signs of giving birth.It's just that the situation is very urgent. Before the old doctor Lin came to rescue, the ewe was already bleeding profusely, and the lamb in the belly could not be successfully delivered.

Changsun Ke couldn't help frowning: "The effect of the medicine is so fierce."

For four days in a row, old doctor Lin used silver needles with gradually weakening effects to test the medicine, until the remaining medicine liquid on the silver needles was negligible.

"This drug is more cruel than imagined. However, everyone's physical condition is different, and their tolerance to the effect of the drug is also different. Not to mention that the ewes we used to test the drug, the effect will be much worse. But anyway, It can be proved that this drug can indeed cause blood collapse in pregnant women. A doctor with high medical skills may notice the abnormality, but it is also a fact that this drug is difficult to test."

Wei Zhao thought about it for a while when the incident happened at night, the news came from the palace, and then from the Hou's mansion to the palace, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth.But since the eldest sister was able to persist until the grandmother delivered the medicine, it may be that there is not much medicine left on the silver needle.Afterwards, when I took it back to Dr. Lin for a drug test, it would fail.Both Mingde and Li Eunuch said that no one in the palace was found to be brewing medicine privately, and Changsun Ke's people can also prove this.That means the silver needle was brought in from outside the palace.

Seeming to see what Wei Zhao was thinking, Chang Sun Ke told him: "There is nothing wrong with Doctor Chen."

Wei Zhao frowned: "Could it be that the direction of my investigation was wrong from the beginning?"

Wei Zhao admitted that the reason why he thought about the issue of silver needles at the beginning was because old doctor Lin accidentally mentioned the prescription in the harem secret record.Later, the Wu family, the Zhao family and the palace also had some rumors, so he was more sure that this matter had something to do with the secret record...

Wei Zhao suddenly looked at old doctor Lin closely: "I brought back the medicine that Yuan'er picked up that day, why did you think of the secret record of the harem?"

Old Doctor Lin was taken aback by his question, then gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "Didn't you ask me if I knew the prescription?"

Wei Zhao scratched his cheek: "But why did you think of going there all of a sudden?"

Old doctor Lin knew that he had a lump in his heart, and although he was a little unhappy, he patiently explained to him: "I like to study medicine, but I am not good at women's diseases. The reason why I remember this prescription is because it is too vicious. Two Well, the effect of using silver needles as medicine is so good. If this prescription can be used to improve other prescriptions, it may be of great benefit to some patients who are not easy to take medicine. Since I entered the Marquis Mansion as a government doctor, I have In a lot of spare time, I can calm down and study medical skills, so I thought of the method of using silver needles as medicine. You asked me that day, and I naturally thought of the prescription that inspired me."

After finishing speaking, Dr. Lin spread his hands, with an innocent expression on his face.

Wei Zhao drooped his head and sighed, "I'm the one who got stuck."

Changsun Ke's eyes flashed: "Not necessarily."
