After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 127 Black Snake Skin

It's really strange, the general's mansion is very powerful, and the eldest princess even has private soldiers, which makes the emperor extremely afraid. Yao Hui can understand why the evil spirits want to attack Lu Zhi.

But what does the Yao family have?
I am just a sixth-rank commander in Shendu City. The eldest son, Yao Ruoyun, has been studying all year round and has not yet entered an official position. He is only a white body.

Yao Wanning was born with a congenital disease, and was lingering on the sick bed, so what is it worth for the evil forces to go to such lengths to attack her?

All kinds of doubts entangled Yao Hui's mind. He had already begun to think about the worst outcome, and how to use the clues in his hands to get help and solve the troubles of the Yao family and Yao Wanning's crisis.

On the other side, Liu Shi was still talking:

"I was thinking, can we use a method to rescue this genius doctor Sun from the prison secretary?"

Mrs. Liu is not a bad person. At that time, she made a mistake impulsively. At this moment, she realized that she had misunderstood others, caused them to go to prison, and her family property was confiscated, so she wanted to make up for it.

"No!"

Yao Hui, however, became more startled the more he listened, and hurriedly shouted:
"I need to investigate this matter carefully. I also want to find out where this doctor surnamed Sun got the medicine."

She entered the Divine City for no reason, and then came the magic medicine that was sent out. After listening to Liu's description, she knew it was extraordinary, but it still couldn't be taken away when the medical hall was open, as if it was specially prepared for her.

"This doctor surnamed Sun, I also want to find out the origin!"

At the beginning, he was guilty and found someone to make trouble, and from the face of the case, Dr. Sun had nothing to do with the matter, so he put the focus of the case on Zhang Qiao and Liu Da, but ignored the person surnamed Sun. up.

Yao Hui's expression was very serious. After connecting all the clues, many answers surfaced. The only thing that is not clear is why such a big game was made against the Yao family.

As soon as he yelled, Liu Shi was taken aback for a moment, before he could speak, he heard a voice from outside:
"Father, you may not be able to find out."

It was Yao Ruoyun who spoke!

He strode into the courtyard, followed by Liuqi and two government servants with knives, his face was a little ugly:

"They said that the doctor surnamed Sun is dead."

"what?"

Yao Hui stood up suddenly, with such force that he knocked the table sideways.

The teacup placed on the table bumped and made a 'bang bang' sound.

The officers of the two yamen stepped forward, and Yao Hui recognized that they were all his brothers from the former Bingmasi.

"As soon as I came out of Wanning's house, I heard a reply from the gatekeeper in the mansion, saying that an official has arrived."

Although Yao Ruoyun didn't know what his parents said before, but since he specifically mentioned the existence of 'Doctor Sun', it might be that the purpose of the two people's visit was related to the person surnamed Sun.

Sure enough, he went on to say:

"They said they were here to find you, so I asked."

Having said that, he gestured to the two guards to speak.

The two were a little embarrassed, and shook hands with Yao Hui:

"My lord, I'm really sorry, we are also following orders." After one of them finished speaking, the other continued:
"Dr. Sun from the Prison Division died last night. Before he died, he reported to your lord that you instigated the ruffians to make troubles, intending to frame him, in order to plot against the prince..."

"what?"

When Liu's face on the side heard this, his expression changed greatly:
"How could Miracle Doctor Sun..." At first, she wanted to say how Miracle Doctor Sun died, but when she realized it, she was surprised again: "So?"

Obviously she just went to see him yesterday. At that time, he was still in good shape, looking very energetic, and he didn't look like he would die suddenly.

What's more, before this, Dr. Sun didn't mention any past grievances, and it was completely impossible to see that he harbored evil thoughts towards the Yao family.

But what the two guards said at this moment meant to kill the Yao family.

Although Yao Hui was guilty of seeking out ruffians to make trouble, it was not a serious crime. He would suffer at most, but his life should not be in danger.

But once the case involved the murder of the crown prince, the problem would be serious.

Thinking of Dr. Sun saving her daughter's life, Mrs. Liu couldn't believe it:
"Is there some misunderstanding here?"

She suspected that someone in the prison department didn't like Yao Hui, deliberately made up a prescription to kill Dr. Sun, and then framed the Yao family, wanting the Yao family's life.

The two guards looked embarrassed and said:
"This Dr. Sun revealed the identities of the three people who made the trouble that day. The two brothers who were patrolling that day have been taken away. Ma San and others who made the trouble are now in the jail of the Prison Department."

That is to say, the prison secretary had been prepared for a long time, until now he came to take Yao Hui, making him unable to escape.

As soon as the prison secretary made a move, Yao Hui's retreat was almost cut off.

Yao Hui had already prepared for his imprisonment, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

He had just learned the clues from Yao Shouning and deduced the whole story of the case, but he was about to be taken to the prison department and fell into the hands of the Chu family, as if he wanted to make him speechless, which made his heart sink.

"My lord, we are only following orders..."

Liu Shi was a little anxious and wanted to speak, but Yao Hui raised his hand to stop what she had to say in the future:

"You go out and wait for me for a while, I will tell my wife and eldest son some trivial matters at home, and then I will go with you immediately."

He used to be very popular in Bingma Division, and everyone didn't believe that he really murdered the prince. They guessed that he might have offended someone and was punished by others, and they sympathized with him very much.

Seeing that he was easy to talk at this time, they didn't want to make things difficult, they glanced at each other, nodded one after another, and hurriedly left the court to wait at the door.

As soon as they withdrew, Liu Shi was panicked, but Yao Hui was very calm and composed:

"Bring me the medicine box surnamed Sun containing medicine, I want to take a good look at it."

At this time, he didn't care about his end, and he wasn't afraid that he was about to be imprisoned and whether he could save his life, but he just mentioned Miracle Doctor Sun's medicine box.

Liu Shi was puzzled, but saw her husband looked serious, he didn't seem to be joking with her, although she didn't understand why he said that, she still nodded.

Before turning around, she happened to see Madam Cao coming out from behind the curtain, and called out hesitantly:
"Mrs?"

She avoided going out with Fengchun earlier, leaving space for the couple to chat. Halfway through, she saw Yao Ruoyun leading two officials in. She felt uneasy, and another side room entered the house, and went around to the back until the two officials were arrested. After dismissing him temporarily, he came out and called Mrs. Liu.

Judging from Cao Mama's expression, she should have heard what Yao Hui just said.

Mrs. Liu only felt tired and uneasy, she nodded at Madam Cao, and said weakly:

"You heard what the master said, right? Go and take that thing out."

Seeing that her expression was not good, Cao Mama hurriedly nodded and retreated.

She and Mrs. Liu did this matter at the same time, and she didn't throw away the medicine box in the end, she kept it carefully, so naturally she knew where to get it at this time.

Liu Shi sat back on the chair, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"Do you also think there is something wrong with Wanning's medicine?"

Yao Hui glanced at her, her expression was indescribably tired, she had been busy all night last night, she guarded her eldest daughter, so she probably didn't sleep.

At this time, there are blue shadows under the eyes, and the forehead is black and blue. He is speaking weakly, and he seems to lose his previous strength and add a bit of vulnerability.

"It's hard for me to say." Yao Hui said with some difficulty.

He didn't want to lie to Liu Shi.

If Miracle Doctor Sun really had a problem, then Liu's actions undoubtedly harmed Yao Wanning. Just as he told Yao Shouning, if anyone in this world loves Yao Wanning the most, it is undoubtedly Liu's.

If she knew that Yao Wanning's accident was caused by her eagerness to love her daughter, Liu would be the one who was hurt the most, and also the least likely to forgive herself.

"What do you mean by hard to say?"

Liu Shi spoke in a daze, and Yao Hui's lips moved. Before he could speak, he heard panicked footsteps from the back room:

"Mrs……"

Grandma Cao stumbled out, and Fengchun pulled up the beaded curtain for her. She stepped over the threshold and rushed into the main room, holding a soft towel in her hand with something wrapped in it. She said in a panic:
"Then, the pill box is gone."

Her arrival interrupted what Liu Shi and Yao Hui were talking about, Liu Shi heard her shout clearly, and stood up in surprise:

"Why is it missing?"

"I am not sure as well."

Granny Cao said:
"After we got the medicine back that day, I locked the medicine in the rosewood cabinet in the inner room."

The cabinet was one of Liu's dowry that day, and it usually contained some of Liu's valuables.

"After I got the water back last night, I took out the medicine myself and put the empty box back in."

Because Dr. Sun said that the medicine is very precious, Mammy Cao didn't even dare to throw the box casually. After taking the medicine, she locked the box in the cabinet again, in case Yao Wanning didn't recover after taking the medicine, she would still have to take the medicine. Go ask Miracle Doctor Sun what is good or bad.

"You saw it with your own eyes at the time. I locked the lock, and the key was always with me, and I was never lost."

The population of the Yao family is simple, and there are not many servants in the inner courtyard. Apart from Yao Hui and his children, only two close people, Feng Chun and Cao Mama, entered and left Liu's house. They have never lost anything for many years.

"Just now my uncle said that he wanted to see the medicine box, so I went to get it. I don't know, I don't know..."

Cao Mama was so excited that she even called out Yao Hui's title back then, and she stuttered a little:

"Unexpectedly, when I opened the cabinet and took a look, I found that the box had disappeared."

The brocade that wrapped the box was still there, but the black box inside was gone, leaving only a very strange piece of black soft leather.

"Look, there's only this bag left in it."

After speaking, she handed over the things.

Looking at her outstretched hands, Yao Hui could clearly see what was wrapped in the satin cloth, which was a piece of black leather about the size of a bowl.

He looked dignified, and before Liu could reach out to take it, he took the lead in striding forward and grabbed the things Cao Mama was holding into his palm.

After throwing away the outer layer of cotton satin, Yao Hui grabbed the bowl-sized black skin into his palm.

The skin is quite thin, and it is cool to the touch. Upon closer inspection, it seems to have strange scales, and it has an indescribable smell, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are you sure you used this veil to wrap the medicine box?"

He rubbed it and asked Cao Mama a question.

"Very sure!"

Madam Cao nodded very positively:

"The red sandalwood box can't hold many things, except for clothes and jewelry, it's house deeds, money, etc."

She specially cleaned up a corner to put the medicine primer box, specially wrapped it in satin cloth, so it couldn't disappear mysteriously.

When Fengchun heard this, his face turned pale, and he waved his hands quickly:

"It wasn't me, I didn't go through my wife's box."

Yao Hui shook his head and said:
"It's not your fault."

He asked Grandma Cao again:

"Has the key ever been lost?"

"No!" Madam Cao swore, "The key has been hanging on me since the work was done."

"The key has never been lost, and the house has never been stolen, so the medicine box cannot disappear for nothing."

As soon as Yao Hui's words fell, Liu Shi said anxiously:

"But……"

"This thing can't be taken by one of us."

Yao Hui sent a comforting look to his wife, signaling her not to worry, and explained to her with his keenness in handling cases:

"The family is all our own, and we have never lost anything."

Madam Cao is getting old, sometimes her memory is not good, and things may be lost over time.

But from last night to now, it took only a few hours, Madam Cao will not remember wrongly.

It was not taken by one of my own people, and the key was not lost, so it is impossible for a thief to break into the house.

In addition, Yao Shouning slept in Liu's house last night, and there were so many people in the house, if a thief came in, no one would notice.

Take a ten thousand step back and say, "Even if a thief comes in, it's impossible to just take a useless medicine box without taking money and jewelry, right?"

Yao Hui's words made a lot of sense, everyone nodded, and Mammy Cao also said:
"Except for the medicine box, I ordered other things, and none of them were lost."

She is Liu Shi's very trusted nurse, and she is very clear about Liu Shi's family background. She is deeply impressed by what is contained in the rosewood box.

After discovering that the medicine box was missing, she was also very flustered, fearing that there would be a thief at home, so she checked everything, only to find that only the medicine box was missing.

"It's neither a mistake, nor a thief, so what do you mean..."

Mrs. Liu was a little uneasy, and couldn't figure out the intention of her husband's words. When she said this, she paused for a moment, and then she heard Yao Hui continue:
"The pill box isn't lost, it's here."

"Not lost?"

Liu's face was confused, and she felt that she didn't understand Yao Hui's meaning. She subconsciously went to see Cao Mama, but saw that the wet nurse was also confused.

"This is the pill box."

Yao Hui looked at his wife very firmly and said.

"What?" Upon hearing his words, Mrs. Liu was startled at first, and then categorically retorted:
"This is impossible!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Hui couldn't help but sighed, and said:
"There are two possibilities." He looked at his wife, "One is that there is a ghost in this matter, and I am afraid that some evil spirits have caused the medicine box to turn into this black skin."

As soon as he mentioned the word 'yaoxie', he violated Liu's taboo. Seeing Liu's brows frowned, he was about to get angry, so he quickly said:

"Secondly, both you and Madam Cao misremembered, the medicine package was originally this black skin, not some medicine box."

Yao Hui knew his wife's temperament very well, and knew that if he emphasized that there were evil spirits at work, she would definitely not believe it.

At this time, he only insisted that his wife had made a mistake in remembering, and she suspected something strange instead.

"impossible!"
