Startled Meng

Because of a major incident in the mansion, Mr. Li, who originally planned to return to his hometown to attend the grandson's full moon feast, had to stay in the mansion to deal with all the matters.

It was none of his business to investigate the case and arrest him. He just had to wait quietly and scold Luo Tongsun with the adults in each room until he saw the herbal medicines placed in the lobby.

Wu Zuo tasted a bowl of ginseng soup in front of everyone, and identified Broken Heart Grass among the unused herbs.

Li Zhi looked at the ginseng held in his hand by Wu Zuo, his eyes darkened and he knelt down:

"My lord Yan! It's good intentions for the lower officials to send ginseng to the adults in each room, and there is no second thought! It was Luo Sheng who suggested that the lower officials mix licorice, dried ginger, Atractylodes macrocephala and other medicinal materials to make ginseng soup raw materials, and also introduced the pharmacy to the lower officials. As for Yan Yan Why does your lord mix heartbroken grass, I really don't know!"

Li Pheasant's wife and children are in harmony, and his grandson has just been born. Unless he is tired of life, he will not let the family enjoyment come to poison Yan Cijing. No matter how poisoned he is, he will not be so blatant. It's okay for Yan Cijing to say that he sent everyone away with great fanfare, so he might not be suspected?

Yan Cijing knew he was innocent, but still called the shopkeeper of the pharmacy to question him.

"Master Li came here with Luo Sheng. Later, Luo Sheng did go into the pharmacy when dispensing the medicine. As for mixing the heartbroken grass in Lord Yan's medicine bag...not to mention Luo Sheng, even if it is a small one, he can see it at a glance. The ginseng with the best color and shape must be given to the person with the highest authority."

The truth is clear, success is heartbroken grass, and failure is also heartbroken grass.

If it wasn't for Yujia's pot of Shiquan Dabu Tang, which had undoes the Broken Heart Grass by mistake, Yan Cijing would not be able to stand up now.

Broken Heart Grass completely exposed Luo Sheng's thoughts, and the conversation between Yan Cijing and Li Zhi in the study was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Yan Cijing did not shy away from mentioning ginseng in front of Li Zhi, and then agreed to Li Zhi's request for a rest. After Li Zhi left, he would definitely explain everything to the adults in each room.

Luo Sheng mixed in, knowing that Yan Cijing didn't doubt Li Pheasant, and he couldn't get out of the ginseng incident.

Luo Sheng's serious injury to He Qian was a desperate move. It is conceivable that He Qian did not reach an agreement with him again.

What happened in the room, only Luo Sheng and He Qian knew.

Luo Sheng fled abroad, so only He Qian knew about it.

Fortunately, He Qiankong was very powerful, and he recovered quickly after being seriously injured. The next afternoon, he sent someone to find Yan Cijing and asked him to go to the military mansion to have a talk.

When Yan Cijing was welcomed by Yue Junshan, he noticed a woman cowering under the eaves.

When Yue Junshan saw her, his expression was ugly, his mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything.

Yan Cijing saw that she was neatly dressed, with a plump figure, and her fingers were not rough. She didn't look like an ordinary peasant woman, but her face was very sad. If he guessed right, she was He Qian's widowed concubine sister.

"Master Yan, please come inside." Yue Junshan opened the door.

The cold wind that leaked in blew the charcoal basin in the house even more vigorously. He Qian lay flat on the hospital bed and coughed twice due to the wind.

Two difficult coughs did not bring pity from the person next to the bed, Duan Chengkong said: "You said you, although you tried your best to barely draw with me, but your skill is not bad, how can you give others A chance for a sneak attack?"

The goshawk on the shoulder also hissed.

Yu Fangzhi stood at the head of the bed with his chest folded, looked at He Qian's blushing and thick neck, and said with a smile, "Master, don't say a few words."

He Qian ignored the pair of unscrupulous masters and apprentices, and weakly called Mr. Yan.

Yan Cijing sat down on the chair beside the bed, glanced at He Qian's bandage-covered chest, and said, "As soon as General He wakes up, please invite me to come...Speak directly if you have something to say."

Yan Cijing went straight in, and He Qian's face suddenly turned green and white. He didn't want to show his face, so he stared at the goshawk on the top of the tent and asked in a low voice, "Did you catch it?"

Yan Cijing spoke before Yu Fang knew: "Not yet, but Luo Sheng's trace appeared on Mount Yong. I don't know where he went north. Does General He know who he will go to?"

He Qian shook his head.

Yu Fangzhi patted Yan Cijing's shoulder reassuringly, and said to He Qian: "General He didn't know the seriousness of the situation before, but now he is lying on the bed and can't move, shaking around the ghost gate, I believe General He will not hide anything again .”

He Qian lost his general uniform, his fierceness was overwhelmed by illness, showing the fatigue of aging.

"Yue Junshan, take someone out first."

The extra people left, and the tense atmosphere in the room did not ease. Duan Chengkong added fuel to the fire: "Brother He, you are confused! The villain has already told me, why do you want Paul to give birth?"

Three pairs of eyes stared at him, and he was seriously injured and went to bed again. He Qian couldn't show any momentum, so he had to tell the inside story that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

At that time, Luo Sheng's younger brother followed He Qian to the north and died for He Qian. Nod in agreement.

"As for my quarrel with him in the room, he suddenly told me that his plot to kill the magistrate by poison was revealed, and he wanted me to help him leave. It was against my will to save him in the case of the fly woman. He did this again. How can I help him when something hurts nature and reason? He pretended to be disheartened, but in fact he held a grudge, and when he left he said he would thank me, but in the end he even sneaked up on me by bowing to me!"

"I watched him leave before my eyes. I was afraid that no one would know who did it after my unfortunate death. So as soon as Yue Junshan came in, I asked him to go to Mr. Yan..."

Finally told the truth, He Qian half-closed his eyelids, his expression was sluggish, and a sigh was very clear in the dead silent room.

Compared with the silence of Yan Cijing and Duan Chengkong, Yu Fangzhi was much more straightforward: "General He, you don't wonder why he wanted to kill Possess Flying and Master Yan?"

He Qian said slowly: "Probably Mr. Yan is about to find out the murderer who poisoned Fly Possession, so he should be in a hurry."

Yan Cijing said: "After I was caught by you and brought back to prison, I went into the cell once, and Luo Sheng was there at that time, and it was probably at that time that the heartbroken grass juice was poured into the bowl of Ian Fly, and he never came back after that. He has never been in prison, and he is not included in the government's investigation list."

Duan Chengkong wondered: "Just because you killed a death row prisoner and the matter is about to be exposed, you want to kill the prefect who is investigating the case? Impossible? Killing people is not about buying vegetables. What else did Luo Sheng tell you?"

He Qian thought for a while, and said: "In the mass grave, he personally admitted that he had let the woman fly away. When I pressed him why he let the woman fly away, he cried and said, because he was obsessed with money, he told me to do it with him." Sister Fly has reached a deal, and when the time is right, I will exchange 1 taels of gold for a life."

"1 taels of gold?" Duan Chengkong, who depended on his old friends for food and lodging, clicked his tongue.

He Qian nodded wearily, "He said that it was only a matter of time before Master Yan found out about him. Since Master Yan attached great importance to the old case, he would definitely not let him go, so he became murderous and wanted to fight for a way out."

The other three didn't answer, the crackling of the charcoal fire in the room was clearly audible, Yan Cijing, who was closest to the brazier, had slightly flushed cheeks, but He Qian felt cold, so he pulled the quilt over and covered him up.

There was a corner at the end of the quilt, and it was inconvenient for him to get up. Duan Chengkong helped him shake it off, and pulled the quilt up around his neck, covering him tightly, saying:

"Brother He, you used to say that civil servants were weak, but this time you fell into the hands of civil servants, right? You should train your soldiers well and stop comparing your brains with civil servants!"

What He Qian hurt was his chest, not his temper. He frowned thickly and scolded: "Fuck you! You're just not in the right mind, go away! I'm going to sleep!"

Yan Cijing got up and said: "General He takes good care of his illness. I will go back and sort out the case first. If there is anything unclear, I will ask General He for advice."

The three leave.

After leaving the warm house, the biting winter wind outside made people shiver.

Yu Fangzhi stood beside Yan Cijing to shield him from the wind, trying to make him laugh, but unfortunately he didn't notice him at all, and stared straight into the distance, Yu Fangzhi followed suit.

Yue Junshan was reprimanding the woman, but when he saw them coming out, he hurried over, turned around and said something while running, and then the woman shrank and left.

Yue Junshan was worried that He Qian had no one to take care of him, so he didn't personally send the three of them out. It just so happened that the three of them had something to say.

Duan Chengkong: "Can Mrs. Fly come up with 1 taels of gold? At that time, Mr. Meng confiscated a lot of things, but he didn't find any hidden money?"

Yu Fang knew: "General He can reluctantly accept killing prisoners with poison, but killing the prefect with poison is a serious crime. If Luo Sheng is not fully sure, it is impossible for him to give up the opportunity to leave the city immediately and go around to find He Qian. Is the chip on the table really the younger brother who died in battle?"

Yan Cijing didn't know either.In the beginning, He Qian hated the mother-in-law because of his dead wife and unborn child. He Qian has not remarried so far. Can't you explain the impact of the past on him?How can a deep hatred be let go so easily?

He asked Duan Chengkong: "Master Duan, Luo Sheng's younger brother..."

When this matter was mentioned, even Duan Chengkong became serious and nodded, thinking that He Qian was a little confused this time, but after all, he was an old friend for many years, so he still said something nice for him: "Brother He was killed People took advantage of it."

After sighing, I didn't get any response. I took a peek and saw that the two juniors were stuck in place, both with tangled faces.

"Brother He spoke very clearly! Why do you look like you don't understand?"

Yu Fangzhi said to Yan Cijing: "Xiao Wu is coming back soon, I don't know what he found from the former magistrate Jiang Guan."

Yan Cijing said in a low voice: "It's not appropriate to say anything about it, come to my room?"

"Okay."
