My princess connects yin and yang

Chapter 177 This is the Symptom!

"It's because of this young master, no matter what he does or what he says, he always goes straight to the point, and he never knows how to go round and round. That's why the old city lord doesn't like his eldest son, who was born in the first place, but favors his second son very much. "

"Some time ago, everyone said that after the old city lord died of illness, it is very likely that this position will be passed on to his second son."

"Moreover, the inheritance system of the Xiyao Kingdom is passed on to those who are capable, even if they are not descendants."

"And this second young master is also very popular in the city, because he is very good at being a man, so the common people especially trust him. As for this young master, because of his character, he can't get along with the common people. A lot of good things, but every time it's not appreciated."

Bai Yue looked at Young Xi, and asked, "Princess, so now it seems that the eldest young master is no longer suspected?"

"Actually, I thought he didn't do these things at first, and it's just a normal procedure for you to investigate. After all, what we see is only the surface and we don't have a deep understanding of how this young master is."

"This is the Second Young Master, what have you found?"

Bai Yue continued: "It took a lot of effort to find out this second young master, because he is a person who hides things very deeply. He looks approachable, but he has his own territory in private."

"The second young master has several shops in the city, all of which are engaged in the business of medicinal materials. He uses his identity to secretly resell some medicinal materials that are prohibited for sale, and make a profit from it."

"But on the surface, these things don't seem to have much to do with the poisoning of the old city lord."

Nian Youxi was silent for a moment, Bai Yue was right, this only shows that the second young master has his own small coffers, it does not prove that the poisoning of the old city lord is related to him, but the eldest young master has nothing to dig.

She took a deep breath and said wearily: "It seems that we can only continue to wait for the news now. If there are some useful information from the mansion, then we have found a breakthrough in this case."

The people under investigation now have basically ruled out their suspicions, and the rest of them all live in the city lord's mansion. If they want to know who is behind the scenes, they have to wait another night.

In the evening, Sheng Jinmo took her around the city and bought a lot of herbs.

And the two also found the second young master's pharmacy that Bai Yue had mentioned.

There are indeed some herbs that are prohibited from being traded, some that can cause hallucinations, and some that can make people burp directly.

In short, there are all kinds of herbs that cannot be seen on the market here.

So the second young master also made a lot of money through these shops.

"Shopkeeper, is there 'Asparagus Grass' here?" Nian Youxi asked in a low voice.

This asparagus is a good thing, it can be recycled, every time the boiled water is colorless and tasteless, it can be poisoned in anyone's food, people who are not noticed and poisoned will feel weak and dizzy, Limbs are numb.

At the beginning, it looked like an ordinary wind and cold, so the best time for treatment would be missed. As long as it exceeds 7 days, this person has absolutely no chance of being rescued.

"Oh, there is no such thing." The shopkeeper immediately shook his head.

But Nianyouxi took a silver ticket directly on the table: "You look at this first, and then tell me if there is any asparagus."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the bank note, and then he immediately looked in the direction outside the door.

He lowered his voice again and said: "Girl, the thing you want is in our city, but the contraband is not allowed to be picked and traded. If someone catches me, I will go to jail."

The young Ximei narrowed her eyes slightly, and took another picture: "What about now? Is it worth it for you to go to prison?"

The shopkeeper immediately took off when he saw the two bank notes, and nodded repeatedly: "It's worth it!"

After speaking, he walked to the door of the store and closed it directly, for fear of being seen.

Then he ran into the back, and walked out with a box after a while.

After opening the box, there were about a dozen dragon beard grasses inside.

The appearance of this asparagus grass looks very inconspicuous, just like dry grass.

However, at the tail of these herbs, there are roots like dragon heads!
That's why it's called asparagus.

"Is there any more?" Youyouxi raised her eyebrows, only a dozen or so, too few.

The shopkeeper was startled: "That's all."

"All right, pretend." She waved her hand, and Zhao Zhilan behind her put away all her things.

Next, Nianyouxi went to the next shop.

While walking halfway, she suddenly thought of something.

"It was said that the old city owner has been lying on the hospital bed for a long time..."

"And the symptoms are dizziness, weakness of limbs..."

Sheng Jinmo's eyes darkened: "Did you think of something?"

Nian Youxi said in a deep voice: "The symptoms of this asparagus poisoning are not much different from the old city lord's current symptoms, except that they are not as serious. But the asparagus poisoning will kill you in a few days. The old city lord does not."

"Similar symptoms, but longer time..."

She thought for a while, and then went back to the shop: "Boss, I want to ask you something."

Seeing that it was his rich man who came back, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "Say it."

"Do you know of any herbal medicine that can make a person's symptoms similar to asparagus grass after poisoning, but not die so quickly?" Nian Youxi felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "Yes, there are, but the effect is not as good as asparagus."

"What is it?" Nian Youxi asked.

"This herb is another herb that grows within a hundred meters around the asparagus."

"Because it is not as expensive as asparagus grass, it is called snake poisonous grass."

"There will be hundreds of snake venomous grasses growing around each dragon's beard grass, and this snake venomous grass can also detoxify hundreds of snake venoms."

"However, because it grows more than Asparagus, the price is also much cheaper."

"The girl wants this kind of herbal medicine?"

Nianyouxi nodded and asked the shopkeeper to take some.

Sure enough, this kind of herb looks similar to asparagus grass, but the roots don't look like dragon heads and horns.

It looks like a snake head.

"It should be this kind of herb. We just need to find out who used this kind of herb to poison the old city lord."

Nianyouxi's tone was a little excited, and she finally found out!
Sheng Jinmo frowned: "These shops belong to the second young master, do you think he poisoned the old city lord?"

Nian Youxi held the Snake Venom Grass and said in a low voice: "This kind of herb is not difficult to buy, as long as you have money, you can buy it, so we have to check whether it is made by the Second Young Master!"
