Chapter Nine, Ten Years of Vicissitudes Leave Only White Bones.
Jing Zhiwan seems to be absent. He worked hard all night and can only limp and ask for leave to rest.
Speaking of this, even Zhu Huifei realized it. He couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed, "You...you killed our father and framed me to help them?!"
Xie Yan nodded and walked briskly towards the exit.
With slender fingers and clean as jade, his deep black eyes turned slightly, revealing a faint smile on his handsome face. However, his demeanor was icy enough to freeze people. "Prince Xiaohe, don't you know that the water in the yamen cannot be drunk casually?"
The first one is Zhu Shi. He poisoned the father of Jiang Tan, and will never allow Jiang Tan to enter the door, let alone a woman who may share his precious medicinal materials.
Ayuan's face was so hot that it looked like a string of flames was attached to it. He didn't even care about the awkwardness of the term "jade person" to describe two men, and asked urgently, "Aren't they working on the case? Why are they discussing me?"
Ayuan looked around in confusion, took a few steps forward, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Ar Yuan raised his finger and gave him a strong pull, saying, "Is it delicious? Our little troublemaker at home should know best!"
Xie Yan nodded, "I asked the physician, and they said that if the head is injured or subjected to strong stimulation, it is indeed possible to lose the original memory."
When stepping out the door, the little deer asked again, "Miss, are your ears getting hot?"
The toxicity has taken effect. Lady Zhu, with her eyes blinded, extends her hands and gently wipes away the hot tears rolling down her daughter's cheeks, while hoarsely shouting, "Tong'er, your mother has never done right by you in her entire life. Even in death, I cannot burden you... You don't have to worry about me. The mistakes I've made, you don't have to bear them!"
Shouldn't these two be love rivals?
While rubbing his nose, he continued to drink tea. The little deer came in panting and said, "Miss, the envoy... Mr. Xie and the county magistrate are currently interrogating the suspects in the hall! I've already checked it out. We can sneak around to the back wall and listen quietly... However, there is a screen behind the magistrate's chair, and even though there are windows, it's not easy to see what's inside."
Neither A Yuan nor Jingzhi were present, while the imperial envoy was watching nearby. Li Fei had to consider the case on his own.
And the feeling that A Yuan gave him, is like a clear stream rushing down the mountains, sometimes flowing swiftly, sometimes splashing water everywhere. But when you look closely, it is not difficult to see the clarity and purity of the stream, clean enough to be enchanting.
Um?
The voice of Jing Zhiwan is deep, but it always echoes with a disturbing magnetism. In fact, it sounds very good, often making A Yuan a little absent-minded. However, whenever he mocks A Yuan, A Yuan dare not appreciate it anymore.
He was simply testing her, and she was completely unprepared, like a crystal person being seen through by him...
He should have never met the "original bounty hunter", but he called her so naturally and warmly that she naturally responded and naturally led the way ahead...
Zhu Huifei, although annoyed and angry, couldn't help but think of the brotherly affection, and reached out to support his shoulder.
Although Jing Yi and others were swayed by Jiang Tan's charm, they still remembered their duties. Just as they were about to reprimand Lady Zhu, they suddenly heard Jiang Tan sharply calling out, "Mother!"
Mrs. Zhu glared at him, "Sir, even if Ding Cao encountered a venomous snake, what does it have to do with me or my daughter? May I ask, did you find the venomous snake she raised at my daughter's place, or did you find it at the Zhu residence? As for the Buddhist beads, I don't know what kind of beads they are. Why are you so sure that they belong to my daughter?"
He looked thin, but his hands were quite strong. He quickly bypassed the lobby and headed straight to the backyard, where he ran into A Yuan face to face.
Her face turned red involuntarily, and she turned her head and glared at him fiercely.
Xie Yan sighed and said, "Since the day I saw the look in her eyes when she woke up, I have felt that it must be a ghost...".
His hand still rested on the armrest, tapping it lightly as if nothing had happened.
Madam Zhu clenched her fists tightly and exclaimed loudly, "It has nothing to do with Tan'er! In the past, I witnessed Zhu Shilian ruining a batch of medicine. He claimed that there was a mistake in controlling the heat, resulting in a potent poison instead of a powerful tonic. He then told Tan'er to follow the recipe of Linghe Marrow and make another batch, claiming that it would strengthen her body. However, while she was making the medicine, I secretly tampered with it, so the pills that came out were highly poisonous. Tan'er initially wanted to discard and remake them, but I insisted on taking them and secretly replaced Zhu Shilian's medicine. Jifei was unaware of this, but he knew that Tan'er had ruined medicine before, so he became suspicious. After Zhu Shilian's death, I took out two pills and planned to have Tan'er identify them later. Unexpectedly, someone reported it to the authorities that same day, and he didn't have time to put away the medicine. In my haste, I had no choice but to throw away the medicine bottle..."
Xie Yan asked: "Does Jing Dian Shi also understand medical skills?"
... ...
Li Fei slammed the table and exclaimed, "Do you really want to eat cow dung?"
Mù Běi Yān squinted her peach blossom eyes and swept them towards the tall and thin young man in front of her. After seeing his extremely ordinary robe and the delicate stitches on it, she slowly suppressed her arrogance, hugged her shoulders, and lightly laughed, saying, "May I ask, who are you?"
At this moment, only the sound of sipping tea lightly could be heard, followed by Xie Yan's pleasant and unhurried voice: "You are always a dead man, unable to escape no matter what, naturally indifferent to taking more lives. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of your daughter, isn't it?"
Mu Beiyin lowered his head and looked at Jiang Tanshuang, whose eyes were tightly closed. Knowing that her situation was not good, he smiled and said, "Alright, I will have someone go and invite them."
Ayuan sat by the window, leisurely sipping tea and enjoying the fragrance of tea and flowers. He murmured to himself, "Gardenia is bitter and cold, but non-toxic. When the flowers bloom, I will steam the best petals and mix them into rouge. Applying it on the skin will make it fragrant, and the scent of its fragrance can be smelled from afar..."
The little deer carefully observed its intention, as if it had an epiphany. Suddenly, it smiled happily and said, "Naturally, I am born good! Miss used to like him the most!"
Madam Zhu sneered, "Ding Cao brought this upon himself! How could my daughter, living alone in a corner, be completely defenseless? At night, she would burn incense containing mugwort in her room, which does not harm lives but can make people lose their senses and leave in fear. This is a self-defense method for my daughter. If Ding Cao smelled that incense and fell to his death in the mountains, can he blame my daughter?"
The little deer blinked and quickly nodded, "Very likely! Although Master Xie is currently serving in the Ministry of Personnel, he rarely takes care of official matters. It's not his turn to handle cases or go out of the capital. The fact that Prince He came to see you so quickly must mean that he has become suspicious of you and informed Master Xie, who then sent this assignment!"
Ayuan glanced at him, "Hmm."
Ayuan chuckled softly and said, "Prince Xiaohe, when I just went out, the water was filled to the brim. I intended to feed Xiaohuai. Xiaohuai ate a poisonous snake and a decaying rabbit carcass last night, and even pecked at human flesh... So, do you still think this water is tasty?"
Perhaps she caught a cold after getting injured in the rain at night, perhaps she shouldn't have cursed the evening. Although he didn't treat her lightly, he still disregarded his own foot injury to come and save her.
She said, "That beast Zhu not only harmed my husband, but also wants to harm my daughter. Should I still care about the relationship between husband and wife? Moreover, he cannot be considered my husband. He is clearly the enemy who killed my husband!"
After she woke up that day, Xie Yan must have come to visit, but unfortunately she was frightened by a group of handsome men and couldn't remember his appearance.
"To say that the poison is not wrong... " Lady Zhu's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "All medicines are somewhat poisonous. Zhu has been taking the 'immortality pill' for so long, yet there is no sign of improved health. In the end, the medicines that sent him to heaven were still his own. Ling You claims to be a pharmacist, but all he refines are deceitful and inferior drugs. He has no understanding of drug compatibility, let alone withstand the long-term association with those fierce and poisonous drugs. If he takes an excessive amount in a moment of excitement, sudden death would not be surprising."
Ah Yuan looked straight ahead, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Xie Yan smiled, with delicate and elegant eyebrows and eyes that revealed a fox-like cunning. "Do you think she can avoid it?"
Previously, I saw a girl leaving the yamen, but I didn't pay attention at the time, only feeling familiar. Just now, I saw her again. I remembered... she is Qingli's maid.
This temperament does not belong to a young constable who plays with knives and swords, and even less to a young lady from the Yuan family who acts recklessly.
Mu Beiyan was stunned and couldn't help but press his own abdomen.
... ... AYuan turned around to look at her, "What's wrong?"
Mu Beiyan chuckled and said, "You've learned bad habits too! You want to spout nonsense and say there's poison in the water? Are you trying to use poison to counteract poison and cure snake venom?"
``The classic historian...'' is not of high rank, but Mu Beiyin dare not underestimate him. After staring at him for a moment, he said, "Is it the water in the yamen that cannot be drunk, or the tea that cannot be drunk by the original constable?"
She unknowingly ingested a potent poison and was experiencing a reaction as Detective Jiang arrived.
Xie Yan lazily smiled, "Where is Ding Cao? Please tell me, how did Madam achieve victory in the inner chambers and defeat enemies in the desolate mountains?"
Ayuan hugged his shoulders, unable to imagine what he would look like when he was flirting with that young master Xie. He made a grimace and looked back into the hall.
Mr. Li... naturally turned towards me and said that I was injured.
Knowing the evening path: "Not considered understanding. Just being ill for a long time, knowing a little."
Xie Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have any evidence that you privately sent Ling You away?"
The little deer was proud of the reasoning skills he learned from following the young lady to solve cases. He got a little carried away and laughed, saying, "Of course it's good! It's so good that we can even wear the same pants together... Hmm, they all used to sleep in the same bed with the young lady!"
Jiang Tanyang raised the corners of his lips, a faint smile spreading like a pear blossom. "Naturally, the adults won't believe it."
Ar Yuan subconsciously responded with a sound, took two steps ahead, and then realized that something seemed not quite right.
He recognized her, but didn't expose her, smiling as he sent a critically ill suspect into her room, and pondering something...
She had never noticed that, in the other corner, Jing Zhiwan was standing there in a loose green shirt, looking at her with a faint expression in his eyes, and had already heard every word she said and captured every detail of her expression.
The man dressed as a woman, who blushed after being pulled into the restroom by him, seemed to bring him a completely different sense of intimacy, completely different from the former Qingli who used to be licentious and treated everyone's ridicule as if it were nothing.
Or, when Xie Yan said "looking for a convenient room", did he already plan to go to her room?
Oh?
Therefore, whether it is Zhu Shi or Ling You, if one dies suddenly after taking the medicine, and there is no family member to file a complaint, the government will not intervene.
It seems that the person sitting in the main seat is Xie Yan, the envoy from the capital and A Yuan's former lover.
If Zhu Jifei marries Jiang Tan, Jiang Tan can stay in the Zhu family as a daughter-in-law, fulfilling her wish to reunite with her mother and daughter, and not having to worry about Jiang Tan wandering outside and being unable to find rare medicinal herbs for treatment.
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Are you confused, sir? How could such a matter be made known to others?"
Mù běi yān māo er bān lǎn lǎn shū zhǎn shǒu jiǎo, "méi shì, qīng lí yě rèn bù chū tā. Dà jiā... ... biàn cóng zhè lǐ chóng xīn kāi shǐ rèn shi rèn shi ba!"
Her lips slightly lifted, and a low whistle passed by.
This ... ...
In the courtyard of the county government office, Mu Beiyan and Xie Yan are waiting.
Madam Zhu did not respond.
She rests her index finger on her cheek, her clear eyes gently flowing. She imagines the enchanting scenes that captivated everyone in the past, striving to portray a mesmerizing posture.
Although A Yuan has become a small constable, he still retains the nature of a daughter's family. The room is tidy and neat, with clear windows. On the small table by the window, a branch of unopened gardenia is inserted in a secret-colored porcelain vase. There is also a set of white porcelain tea set, with half a cup of tea still in the tea bowl, emitting a faint fragrance.
They were already good friends! Because of the miss, they often stayed together day and night, and they were simply a perfect match! When Master Xie came, Prince Xiaohe naturally came to greet him.
Mo Bei Yan half leans against the green wall, with a lazy smile in the peach blossom eyes, "If you see her, perhaps you won't dare to recognize her for a while!"
Zhu Huifei has lost a lot of weight, wearing a large brocade robe and sitting on a chair, listening carefully. At this moment, he murmured, "Second brother is softhearted, he will definitely help you..."
Identifying its location, it should be Xie Yan, the main seat.
Of course. After listening for a while, Prince Xiaohe said, "It is necessary to rest well." However, Master Xie said, "Since you are sick, after finishing the case, I should go and visit you."
The scene knows the late smile, pouring out the remaining tea in the teacup. "Do you know that she was bitten by a venomous snake last night? There was a poisonous substance in the tea she drank, so... Prince Xiaohe, do you really not feel any discomfort anywhere?"
The original beauty of Qingli country was stunning, with unparalleled talent. She did as she pleased, whether she was a dignified and noble daughter of a prestigious family or a wild and unrestrained beauty. In fact, no one can say for sure whether she was mocked by the world or she mocked the world.
When everyone couldn't help but look outside, Madam Zhu had already collapsed on the ground, with black blood oozing from both her eyes and ears, obviously lifeless.
Xie Yan said lightly, "Hmm, find a convenient room first and let her diagnose the illness."
Li Fei hurriedly followed behind and said, "This appearance may not be suitable for detention for the time being."
Ayuan is familiar with the route. He quickly led the fawn around to the back of the hall and carefully looked inside through a window on one side.
The lobby of the small county government office is naturally cramped and cannot be compared with the various government offices in the capital. Today, when the envoy arrived, the catchers, yamen runners, and others were all waiting inside and outside the lobby, along with several suspects, which immediately crowded the entire hall. The screen behind the main seat is a bit narrow, and the wide shoulders and fat buttocks of the county magistrate are exposed on one side, blocking the sight of Ah Yuan and others.
Xie Yansheng had not spoken yet, and Madam Zhu suddenly exclaimed, "Why don't you believe it? This is the truth! The truth!"
Xie Yan smiled, "She has become a little constable. You look so unfamiliar; she is so intimate with us. If you talk to her for a while, you will naturally find the feeling of the past. How could it not be intimate?"
He asked, "In that case, did you steal the formula for the counterfeit medicine and have Jiang Tan refine it? And where did the two imitation Linghe marrow that appeared under Zhu Jifei's pillow come from? Did you throw the bottle containing the counterfeit medicine into Zhu Huifei's room, or was it Zhu Jifei who did it?"
The rhythm of the light tapping on the armrest, just matched the rhythm of her just poking the tree with a sword.
Mu Beiyanyan couldn't figure out the reason, and could only sigh and say, "When you see it later, a few words will make it clear!"
Jing Zhiwan chuckled softly, "None of it can be drunk."
He trembled and tightly grasped the sleeve of Detective Jiang, who had lowered it, and unexpectedly burst into tears.
The water in the yamen may be tainted with the blood of prisoners. The high-handed tactics of the executioners must have left a bloody stench. It is not suitable for someone as noble as Lord Xiaohe to drink. As for the tea served here by the former constable...
In a blink of an eye, only half a cup of tea was left.
However, Xie Yan's appearance seems to be no less than Jing Zhiwan's, and he should have a better understanding and appreciation of the situation than Jing Zhiwan. Since there is a predestined relationship, it should be easy to get close to him.
In the former dynasty, it was claimed to be the descendant of Laozi, and the national fortune lasted for hundreds of years. There were countless people who practiced alchemy to seek immortality, and many died every year as a result. However, believers often believed that those who died after taking medicine ascended to heaven, and did not find it strange. The government officials, having seen this many times, generally did not file cases. Some Qingming officials understood the cause of death, but since they saw that the deceased had taken the medicine themselves, they did not investigate deeply.
While she was pondering, her nose suddenly felt sour, and she sneezed twice in a row.
Arabian quietly returned to the yamen from the side door, fed Xiao Huai, bathed and changed clothes, and then asked Xiao Lu to inquire about the situation ahead.
Li Fei looked at Xie Yan.
But I heard the flapping of wings, and the little troublemaker swooped down, landing steadily under the table. It lowered its head to drink water, then tilted its head back to swallow. It lowered its head to drink water, then tilted its head back to swallow...
Li Fei, Xie Yan, and others have all stood up, while Jiang Tan struggled free from the yamen guards who were holding her and rushed forward.
In the hall, Lady Zhu angrily said, "What if I kill him? If it weren't for him, how could Tan'er be separated from me, and how could he be plagued by a stubborn illness? I hate that he treats his elixirs and miraculous medicines as if they were his life, and when I asked him for a few drops of Linghe blood, he actually scolded me, blaming me for not knowing shame. He thinks highly of me marrying into the Zhu family, enjoying their luxurious lifestyle, yet he still dares to think of the daughter of the Jiang family! I admit that I am not well-read and truly do not know how to write the word 'shame'. I went to seek advice from Jifei, who is well-read. Shouldn't his father's actions make the word 'shame' hang high as a plaque on the gate of their Zhu family!" I hate that he treats his elixirs and miraculous medicines as if they were his life, and when I asked him for a few drops of Linghe blood, he actually scolded me, blaming me for not knowing shame. He thinks highly of me marrying into the Zhu family, enjoying their luxurious lifestyle, yet he still dares to think of the daughter of the Jiang family! I admit that I am not well-read and truly do not know how to write the word 'shame'. I went to seek advice from Jifei, who is well-read. Shouldn't his father's actions make the word 'shame' hang high as a plaque on the gate of their Zhu family!"
Zhu Jifei refused to leave, shouting: "Her illness is very serious, ordinary doctors cannot save her... Let me stay with her! She has lost everything, everything..."
Ayuan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I only wanted to hear the cause and effect of this case. Who cares about them? Even if they are as beautiful as Pan An, can they compare to me, who can captivate the hearts of all?"
Zhu Jifei just had some suspicions, and never really properly stored counterfeit drugs, so it looks more like he was framed...
Her face clearly hasn't cultivated enough thickness. The three words "big man" were difficult to say, and her tongue became a little tied. She quickly turned her head to avoid Xie Yan's gaze, but happened to see Mu Beiyin picking up the half-drunk tea she had just finished, sniffing it, and drinking it all in one gulp.
Jing Yici is about to stuff a torn cloth into Madam Zhu's mouth. She screamed and her hand slipped, accidentally touching the corner of Madam Zhu's mouth, getting something sticky on her hand.
The county yamen is not too big, but not too small either. There are also vacant rooms that can be found. Why did he take her to his room? And why did she obediently lead the way?
Her fingers gradually trembled, her face became paler, but her pupils grew darker. When she released her mother's pulse, she had already collapsed to the ground, her frail wrists holding onto her mother, crying out in a mournful voice, "Mother, dear mother, why... why..."
Xie Yan stood by the bedside, and unintentionally met Jing Zhiwan's gaze. Both of them were momentarily stunned, and then they averted their eyes.
Xie Yan looked at the group of people rushing towards the county government office and smiled leisurely. "How do you know that Duke Duan is not taking any action? Don't forget, none of us have ever seen him before. Even if he stood in front of us, we wouldn't recognize him."
Li Fei sighed, "Well, Zhu Shi is the one you harmed. Your good daughter and son-in-law are completely unaware... What about Ling You and Ding Cao? You, a secluded woman, could you possibly harm both of them together?"
Li Fei couldn't help but raise his sleeve to wipe the sweat.
Seeing Li Fei being squeezed to this extent, most likely her other ex-lover He Beiyin is also nearby. With the status of those two, it would be considered good enough to leave half a seat for Li Fei.
When Ke Zhu Jifei was suspected, Lady Zhu still pushed him out.
Mrs. Zhu's gaze flickered across his face and quickly avoided it. Her voice lowered: "I never intended to blame you... Who knows that the government would judge it as murder..."
Ayuan listened to Xie Yan's calm and composed handling of the situation, and his admiration grew even stronger. He tried hard to get a clear look at Xie Yan's appearance, but unfortunately, he couldn't see it clearly and couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Yan glanced over and was about to send Jiang Tan to A Yuan's bed. At this moment, Xiao Lu had caught up and shouted, "Don't dirty our young master's bed! Put me on the bed instead!"
Jing Zhi suddenly looked up and glanced at him, "I grew up in Zhenzhou."
The sky is still partly cloudy, and the sunlight is not scorching. However, for some unknown reason, as soon as Ah Yuan stepped out of the threshold and faced the sunlight, he immediately sneezed loudly without any grace.
Ah Yuan was in a great dilemma, and couldn't figure out how spectacular the performance of the trio would be.
Little Deer Road: "Who doesn't know that Prince Xiaohe is both noble and willful? In front of so many people, he asked us adults, 'Where is your interesting former constable?' Young Master Xie also joined in, saying that the former constable has made great contributions to the case and should be invited to participate in the trial together."
Madam Zhu continued, "Since I have acknowledged the crime of killing my husband, death is inevitable for me. I don't mind admitting to taking two more lives, so why bother lying? Sir, do you agree or not?"
Many of the pills that Zhu eats are made from rare medicinal materials. As long as Lingyou confirms that they are not poisonous, he might actually take them. Although his body may not be able to handle it and he could die suddenly, it is not impossible.
So, does Qingli want to avoid us?
A Yuan said, "As a grown man, what do I have to fear?"
Her body suddenly propped up, her arms stretched straight outwards, as if really wanting to ask for something from the sky outside the door.
Zhu Jifei and Jiang Tianye were also detained in another room; Zhu Huifei was unjustly detained for several days, and under the shock, he also lost twenty or thirty catties, which made Li Fei feel extremely guilty, especially since Xie Yan's cousin was the one who secretly communicated with Zhu Huifei and presented the secret opera picture. At this time, he was released and even brought a chair for him to sit and listen to the trial in the hall.
As for rouge and such, who knows when they will be needed; and the former Yuan Qingli must have cherished her appearance very much, she just remembered these, right?
The tea cup lid is lifted slowly over the rim, followed by a clear and smiling remark: "I guess we'll just have to stuff cow dung in the lady's mouth!"
Unreasonable person who won't yield to reason!
She took two steps back and looked at A Yuan with shining eyes, "Do you think Xie Yan came to Qinhe because of me?"
A group of rough men in the hall unconsciously held their breath, fearing that their breath might blow her down to the ground.
This ... ...
Although her bedroom in the yamen was small, it was neat and tidy. Outside the window, there was a cluster of gardenia flowers, with some buds yet to bloom, emitting a sweet fragrance.
From the information they verified, Ling You is indeed a quack doctor who only has a superficial understanding of pharmacology. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fraud.
Before I could speak, Xie Yan had already lifted his lips and chuckled, "The original constable has arrived, what a coincidence! Please take us to your house and treat this woman first!"
Ayuan put the tea cup back in its original position, poured a full cup of tea, and whistled out the window.
Although Zhu Huifei is a genuine playboy, he is not inherently bad, and he has a good relationship with his brother. Without Zhu Shi's opposition and with the stepmother's support, it will not hinder Zhu Jifei's marriage.
Mu Bei Yan pondered for a moment and said, "No... it's not that kind of warmth... it's..."
Then, a hand clapped on Mu Beiyin's hand, with almost imperceptible movement, the teacup had already landed in the hands of another person.
As Lady Zhu froze slightly in her posture, Xie Yan lazily said, "Bring Jiang Tan and Zhu Jifei here. If either of them speaks in a way that contradicts Lady Zhu later, Zhu Shi is not allowed to speak. Otherwise..."
Mo Beiyan held his shoulders and looked at him, "Don't worry, I'm sure that besides not recognizing us, she is basically a normal person, definitely not a ghost, let alone possessed by a ghost."
Prince Xiaohe has been talking about you in front of Master Xie.
Mu Beiyan quietly walked up to A Yuan and asked, "Were you really bitten by a snake?"
After pondering for a while, Jing Zhiwan released the hand that was feeling Jiang's pulse and sighed, "I just wonder... how did she manage to survive with such a severe illness until now?"
She hated with a full heart, her words were rarely strong, while on the other side, someone was laughing brightly and asked leisurely, "So, after more than ten years, you suddenly became virtuous and killed your current husband to avenge your former husband?"
What Madam Zhu wanted to do was to kick away all the obstacles that hindered her daughter's entry.
Jiang Tan's eyes were full of tears. When he tried to hug his mother in a panic, he couldn't hold her. They both fell to the ground with Lady Zhu. She didn't care about getting up and immediately checked her mother's pulse on the ground.
Unexpected incident occurred in the lobby. Ayuan was momentarily stunned when he saw Xie Yan and Jiang Tan coming out. He quickly circled around from the back to avoid them, but unexpectedly Xie Yan also circled around from the side corridor, narrowly avoiding a collision.
Madam Zhu said, "That night, after Jifei accompanied Huifei into the county government office, Lingyou, disguised among the guests, came to find me. I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I gave him some money and asked him to leave Qinhe quickly. He also asked me for the medicine that Zhu Shisu had been refining. I did give him a few samples, but as for whether he took them or not, I do not know..."
She lowered her head to take a look at her clean and neat men's clothing, and felt that she was thinking too far ahead.
Not only does she remember how to extract the fragrance of gardenia, but she also remembers that gardenia can clear the lungs, stop coughing, cool and stop bleeding... Perhaps it could be useful for the sickly Lord Dianshi.
Ayuan silently suppressed the budding of his spring heart and continued to look around inside the hall.
Madam Zhu was aggressive, while Li Fei was momentarily speechless.
Ayuan sighed and said, "How well Prince Xiaohe and Master Xie get along."
In the hall, Jiang Tan slowly approached. Her figure swayed like a willow in the wind, her face even paler than before, her delicate lips resembling faded apricot blossoms, weak to the point where one could hardly detect any signs of vitality. Zhu Jifei followed closely behind her, his gaze fixed on her appearance, as if his eyes were already attached to her.
Mu Beiyan moved his hand that was holding her arm down a bit, already gripping her palm, interlocking his five fingers with hers, and lightly chuckled, saying, "Of course, no one can compare to you!"
There are envoys present, so even if Jiang Tan is tortured to death in prison, no one will hold the county magistrate responsible. But it is truly cruel to watch this woman die like this.
His voice is indescribably clear, and it sounds surprisingly pleasant.
When Zhu Jifei rushed over in shock, Xie Yan had already walked down the hall, bent down to pick up Jiang Tan, and instructed on the side, "Take Zhu Jifei down first, and then review later. Jing Yi, go find the doctor!"
Madam Zhu's mouth and nose were bleeding, her eyes were dull, and she had collapsed on the ground.
Li Fei wiped off his sweat and said busily, "This is the newly arrived historian of our county, Jing Zhiwan, who is also from the capital."
In Mu Bei's peach blossom eyes, there was a full smile, shining brightly and reflecting Ah Yuan's astonished face.
Jiang Tan wept in pain and intermittently said, "It's not true, it's not mother's fault..."
Ah Yuan hurriedly said, "Sure, put her on my bed. The girl in my house is delicate, don't scare her and make her unable to sleep."
Mu Beiyan held her arm and carefully examined her, "Are you okay now? Where did you bite? Let me see."
No.
Ah Yuan Dao: "That's not the point... but didn't you see that my window was open?"
After being sick for a long time... Xie Yanyan looked at him and said, "Judging from your accent, it seems that you are not from the capital city?"
The little deer pointed at her and laughed, "Of course, it can't compare!"
Do you have a sneeze?
Two people are very close to each other. Ayuan raised his eyes and saw a clear and handsome face. A pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes were as clear as a spring, cold and clear, and directly hit her eyes, making her heart skip a beat.
The scene knew the late path and walked to the bedside, to feel Jiang Tan's pulse.
This Xie Yan is simply a person with a keen mind, subtly indicating that she is aware of the woman's identity without saying a word. And her agreement to lead Jiang Tan into her room undoubtedly implies that she considers it only natural—something that a man would definitely find inconvenient.
He comes from a scholarly family and values literary elegance and grace, always maintaining his composure. Mundane matters such as solving cases are mostly left to A Yuan and Jing Zhiwan to handle, and the details are not clear to him. He no longer wants to rely on those two unreliable individuals, who disappeared during the trial and caused him to lose face in front of the envoy.
Xie Yan smiled and placed Jiang Tan on Ah Yuan's bed, softly asking, "Aren't you afraid?"
Xie Yan said casually, "Detective Jiang, Madam Zhu claims that she killed Zhu Shi and caused Ling You's death. Do you have anything to say?"
Zhu Huifei listened to the cause and effect on the side, shaking his head and sighing incessantly. When he heard Xie Yan's words, he felt a little reluctant. He stood up and was about to speak, but Xie Yan said again, "Being deceived like this and still showing mercy like a woman, maybe you really are a pig, but definitely not a flying pig. Should I shut your mouth first?"
Xie Yan smiled and said, "Hmm, let's wait for Yan Xi to come!"
Li Fei heard her disrespectful remarks about the deceased subordinates and couldn't help but angrily say, "Then why did Ding Cao encounter a venomous snake on the way down the mountain? And why did the place where the snake was killed have a Buddhist bead?"
Li Fei asked: "Poison?"
Ayuan was once again held by him and couldn't move. He took a breath and whispered, "Xiao He, are you okay? I really can't drink that tea..."
Madam Zhu said, "Finally, Fei does not resemble his beastly father. However, he is afraid of tarnishing my and Tan'er's reputation, so he dares not mention it to others. He secretly arranged for someone to bring the blood of the spiritual crane to Fei's place for Tan'er to refine medicine. He also knows that I cannot conveniently go to the Cixin nunnery, so he often goes there to take care of things. It turns out that one lost his father at a young age, and the other lost his mother at a young age. They are both unfortunate children, but they seem to have a mutual understanding. Unfortunately, although I have the intention to help, I cannot make the final decision."
Xie Yandun paused and looked towards Mu Beiyan who followed him, "Beiyan, the case is not yet fully clear, I'm afraid we have to trouble your family Yanxi."
It has become a fact that she married into the Zhu family. Although she worries about her daughter day and night, she is unable to bring her daughter back due to the cruelty of Zhu Shiheng.
Zhu Huifei stamped his foot and said, "Isn't that bottle of fake medicine you threw into my room? Isn't this framing me? Oh, by the way, you are hoping that I will be convicted as the murderer and your daughter can fully inherit the land and business of the Zhu family!"
Mu Beiyan also smiled and said, "They cannot avoid us, and probably cannot avoid Duke Duan either. It's strange to say that Lady Yuan previously had a hostile relationship with Qingli, and indeed had no control over her. But why is Duke Duan not taking any action? Could it be that our information is wrong, and Duke Duan did not return to Liang because of Qingli?"
Jiang Tan trembled all over as he stared at his mother, unable to shed a single tear. Then, like a piece of paper, he silently collapsed.
The deer's eyes turned and he snapped his fingers, saying, "No problem! We can continue to sleep three people in one bed! I will continue to stand guard for the miss."
Zhenzhou! Xie Yan took a deep breath, a flicker of unusual light flashed in his eyes, but quickly changed the subject, "How is the woman's condition?"
Zhu Jifei disregarded suspicion and rushed over at the first opportunity to try to rescue Detective Jiang, doing everything he could to protect him, which is enough to prove that he truly cares for Detective Jiang.
Xie Yan, however, had already looked towards the corner of the wall where a small head had peeked out and quickly retracted. He sighed and said, "Bei Yan, do you want to make a bet? Li County Magistrate is coming soon, but Qingli is not among them."
After Jing Zhiwan left, she felt something was different. She quickly looked up and saw Jing Zhiwan slowly retracting his gaze from her, with a hint of a mocking smile on his lips.
Now the one being examined is Madam Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu's face had turned a bluish-black, but she shouted in a hoarse voice, "It's not my fault, it's Zhu Shi's fault. It's all Zhu Shi's fault... Yes, I killed Zhu Shi! It's my own karma, I will repay it myself... God, please spare my unfortunate daughter..."
Ah Yuan suddenly realized.
She rubbed her temples and quietly asked the little deer, "If I go out to meet him, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
When the criminal was confused, the fawn ran to her side in a flash, and said anxiously, "Could this detective be suffering from tuberculosis? It would be terrible if it's contagious! But since she's a woman, she can only stay on our side."
Zhu Huifei closed his mouth when he boarded the plane.
Just as the little troublemaker was drinking water, it suddenly looked up and saw a strange man entangled with its owner, with unclear motives. It immediately raised its beak and flapped its wings, pecking towards Mu Beiyin...
She quietly asked the little deer, "Xie Gongzi... was he also born well?"
To be precise, no one was actually judging. It was just Lady Zhu, hoarse-voiced, accusing the absurd cruelty and pitiful fate of Zhu Shi and her husband's daughter.
Losing memory is not uncommon, and changes in temperament are not uncommon either. But have you ever seen a delicate and weak woman from a deep boudoir suddenly become exceptionally brave and skilled with a knife and sword, catching thieves? It is said that she even excels as a constable, winning the hearts of the people. Moreover... ... A perplexed look flashed across Mu Beiyin's eyes, "Her gaze towards me is completely unfamiliar, and for some reason, I also feel unfamiliar towards her. But after exchanging a few words, I feel a sense of familiarity."
Lord Xiao He... The scene in the thatched house of the He Mansion surged up, and Ah Yuan could no longer be carefree. Indeed, his ears were burning. "Mu Beiyan... why did you come?"
