Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"Epimedium? This kind of fishy smell is like sheep's blood. Is it a kind of medicinal material?"

"Well, the epimedium commonly used in medical books is mostly used as medicine with stems and leaves, which are cold in nature and bitter in taste, while the smell of fishy smell comes from the rhizome, which is not a common medicinal material. Only folk remedies are rarely used. It is slightly poisonous, and it is difficult to distinguish it. normal."

Hearing the name, Jun Ziyou's expression was distorted, "Could it be that the effect of this medicine is..."

"It's good to enhance a man's majesty, and it's normal to appear in Hualou."

Dr. Jiang became the only insider, and Jun Ziyou couldn't let him go, so he hurriedly dragged him to the crime scene next door, and let him see the condition of the deceased, so as to deduce the murderer's intention to make the room dirty.

But Dr. Jiang just glanced at Prince Wusun's body, and said, "Your Excellency must have guessed that the deceased died of poisoning, but it was not."

"What does Doctor Jiang mean by that?"

"Although his lips were purple, his eyes and tongue protruded, and his face was ferocious, showing a state of suffocation, he did not die from poison."

As he spoke, he leaned over and pinched the sleeve of the deceased, and lifted the arm of the corpse, allowing Junziyou to take a closer look.

"Both hands of the deceased showed signs of cyanosis, which is usually not the case unless chronic poisoning. But if it was really a long-term poisoning, the deceased should be suffering from a serious disease, and the death should be due to weakness, not sudden death."

"So you think that the most likely cause of his death is..."

"Sudden illness."

Sudden illness...

As Dr. Jiang said, how to explain the blood stains in the room?

Having a headache from the smell of epimedium, Junziyou hid in the corridor and sat down against the wall, looking decadent.

The case this time is really too difficult, not to mention the important people in the capital who died, and there are only a few hours left before dawn, if I don't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid I really can't keep my head.

He broke down a little, buried his head between his knees, his mind was in a mess, as long as he closed his eyes, the scene of Xiao Beicheng and Bai Yourong flirting with each other would appear in his mind, and he didn't have the heart to think about the case at all.

"That pervert who doesn't know what to do! He has someone in his heart and dares to touch the young master. If it doesn't work, he has to ask for an explanation before losing his head!"

Just when he was determined to stand up for himself being molested, he suddenly raised his head, and met a pair of familiar eyes, which made Junziyou scream out in fright, and hurriedly rubbed back, realizing that the person in front of him was Xiao Beicheng. He couldn't stop punching and flew over.

"Are you a cat? You can walk without sound! Don't scare me at the scene of the crime, you will die!!"

The strength of a frail scholar was insignificant in Xiao Beicheng's eyes, and he easily grabbed his wrist, but he lost his playful attitude before, and raised his chin and pointed at the closed door at the scene.

Jun Ziyou buried his head back in frustration, glanced at the blood oozing from under the door from the corner of his eye, as if he had broken the pot.

"That's all, this case is complicated and confusing, and Jun Sanwen doesn't know who to ask. It seems that my official career has come to an end. If the prince still cares about me, I will send a few meals to the prison, which is considered acceptable. The scene we met for the first time in the capital, my lord, you should stop worrying about me and spend more time with your little darling..."

"What nonsense, can such a simple case be trapped?"

As if to cheer him up, Xiao Beicheng bent down and squatted in front of him, rubbed his head, and messed up his loose long hair.

When Junziyou raised his head indignantly, he squeezed his chin again, and looked at him close by, his breath was full of the familiar smell of tobacco.

"My lord..."

"You are always preconceived and prejudged the connection between things. Maybe you should think back to the original oiran case, how you cut through the mess neatly, and how you sorted out the clues from the broken threads instead of sinking In my own imagination, Junziyou, wearing this official uniform, you are my young minister of Dayuan, not the humble literati who got imprisoned because of writing unpopular things."

Jun Ziyou was stunned by his words, he held his hand unconsciously, and stepped forward, even Xiao Beicheng was a little surprised.

It's a pity that everyone else gathered in front of Xiao Beicheng, and just when the latter thought that he was in love so deeply that he couldn't help but kiss him deeply, he actually uttered a shocking sentence: "It turns out...Your Majesty likes me."

"..."

"Let me tell you earlier, if I knew you were interested in me, I wouldn't be jealous."

What Cai said just now didn't seem to have such meaning, but Jun Ziyou was complacent and relieved, and finally he was able to calm down and think about the case carefully.

Following the hint given by Xiao Beicheng, he realized that it would be foolish to regard the two murders in Nanfeng Pavilion as serial murders, so he divided the murders of General Zhang and Prince Wusun into two different cases, and once again gathered at the door. side, confirmed the situation inside, and soon discovered something strange.

"It's different... In the case of General Zhang and Jun Jiang, Nanfeng Pavilion was not the first scene. The body was moved to the guest room after death, and Prince Wusun was still having fun here a few hours ago. Besides, he died of a sudden illness..."

After muttering a few words, he suddenly remembered something, got up and hurried to the next room before he even had time to wipe off the dust on his clothes.

Afraid of scaring the person inside, he knocked lightly on the door, waited for Dr. Jiang's response before sneaking in, and quickly drove the latter out.

The bewildered doctor met the helpless prince, and the two looked at each other awkwardly in the corridor, and then stuck to the door to listen to the movement inside, quite tacitly.

After the gentleman swam through the door, he first waved to the terrified boy, and smiled very kindly, making people let go of their guard. Seeing that he was no longer nervous, he went to the bedside to pick up the medicine bowl and brought it to his mouth.

"You must be terrified when something like that happens, drink some to suppress your shock, and take a break earlier today."

Having said that, Jun Ziyou stared at Guan'er, not looking like he wanted to make people rest, so frightened that Guan'er repeatedly rubbed against the bed, unexpectedly the man grabbed his hand .

The man's palms were slightly cool, which felt more reassuring than hot, and somehow made Guan'er calm down, and he also squeezed his hand tightly.

"My lord, you and I are the same."

"This is..."

"You... are also below."

Hearing that the other party came to his ear deliberately to say this, Jun Ziyou became inexplicably angry, stared at him for a long time with his lips pursed, and then said: "Compared to this, you should care more about your own situation."

Speaking of this, the girl lowered her eyelids with a sad expression on her face, "Naturally, I have heard the names of Lord Jun Sanwen and Little Di Gong, and I know that there are no secrets in front of the Lord. What happened today is because I am too scared." , on impulse..."

Seeing him like this, Jun Ziyou, who didn't intend to be harsh at all, softened his heart, "What's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Yuenu. I have been in Nanfeng Pavilion for two years. Today is the first time I have served Prince Wusun. I never imagined that this kind of thing happened. Please believe me, I definitely did not harm him, please. You must trust me..."

Jun Ziyou couldn't bear to see him on the verge of crying.

"Don't panic, Doctor Jiang preliminarily concluded that Prince Wusun died of illness, please tell me what happened today in detail, without any concealment."

Yuenu wiped her tears and sobbed: "In Nanfeng Pavilion, I am not outstanding in appearance, and I don't like to curry favor with benefactors, so there are not many guests who would like to spend the night with me. Today Prince Wusun chose Mr. Jiang, But he was selected by General Zhang ahead of time, and he hasn't shown up for a long time. The bustard mother didn't want to disturb the general, so she ordered me to serve the prince. Surprisingly, the prince actually likes my stuffy personality, so the trick... ...and a little more."

Jun Ziyou let out a "tsk", thinking that these words are very true...

Yuenu said again: "When I got excited about playing, for some reason, the prince seemed to be out of breath, clutching his chest and fell on the bed in great pain. I wanted to call someone to help, but the prince refused to let outsiders see that he was naked. He insisted that I put on a coat for him, and after I hurriedly put it on for him, he had already..."

"Did you die already?"

"Yes... I know that the prince has a noble status. I was afraid that others would misunderstand that I killed the prince. Then I would lose my life and implicate my relatives. I did something stupid on the spur of the moment and stole the epimedium root that is commonly used in the pavilion. Juice, mixed with deer blood brought by the prince, trying to make it a good thing for the assassin..."

"Deer blood?"

The answer was unexpected. No wonder Jiang Linyuan searched all the butchers in the city but couldn't find a clue. It turns out that the fusion of epimedium root juice and deer blood is the smell of sheep blood?

But why did Prince Wusun bring deer blood with him?This is also suspicious.

Jun Ziyou asked again: "Then do you know what is the use of deer blood?"

"This...Your Excellency does not know that deer blood is very effective in strengthening yang. Prince Wusun has always had the habit of taking deer blood for nourishment. In order to strengthen his majesty, he never leaves his hand with deer blood wine. The prince said today that it just so happened I asked someone to kill a stag, and brought the deer blood and deer whip together, wanting to give you a taste of it. I saw that the color of deer blood is different from that of human blood, so I added epimedium to make it more like a disguise. Huo..."

Sure enough, he revealed his stuff in just a few words.

Jun Ziyou squeezed Yue Nu's hand with a little more force, and the latter looked at him suspiciously, but fell into that confident, sly and wicked smile.

"It seems that you have seen a lot of human blood. The reason why you are so clear about the lightness of the color is because you have witnessed the scene of the murder not long ago. If I am not wrong, it is the same building, with only one long road. The space between the corridors, that is, General Zhang and Jiang..."

"No! No, I... I..."

Yue Nu turned pale with fright, subconsciously withdrew her hand, but was held tightly by Jun Ziyou, unable to escape.

Seeing his reaction like this, Jun Ziyou knew what he said, and acted according to the trend.

"Don't be so flustered, I know that you were not the murderer who killed the two of them, because the deer blood you concocted is too deep, it is not the color of fresh blood, but the dark red that changes over time after it is lost , This also means that when you saw the tragedy at the scene, even the blood had turned black, which is enough to prove that you were not the criminal who witnessed the tragedy for the first time, and I have only one purpose for keeping you here."

While speaking, Jun Ziyou had already stuck to Yue Nu's body.
