The farmer has a mall

Chapter 94

Grandma Sun is an old man in Guo's yard, who had been taking care of Guo's daily life.

Mrs. Gu fell ill three years ago, Mrs. Guo saw that she was careful and thorough in her work, so she put her in the small kitchen of the east courtyard and was responsible for boiling medicine.

Originally, this was done in order to prevent the people below from being perfunctory and not boil for enough time, which would compromise the efficacy of the medicine.

But who knows what happened.

Mrs. Guo sat in her yard, the handkerchief in her hand was almost crushed.

If this gets out, no one else will say that she, the daughter-in-law, poisoned her mother-in-law!

"Mr. Sun, did you cook your mother-in-law's medicine yourself?"

Grandma Sun didn't know what happened, but she nodded nervously when she saw Guo Shi's face was ugly.

"It was boiled by the old slave himself."

Guo asked again: "Can it pass through other people's hands during the period?"

Grandma Sun hurriedly said: "This old slave remembers Madam's instructions, and has been guarding the medicine every day from the beginning of boiling the medicine, and never left half a step during the period."

Although it is Guo's filial piety to send grandma to make medicine for her.

But she also needs to prevent others from taking advantage of the opportunity and doing something wrong with the medicine.

At that time, she couldn't speak clearly with ten mouths.

So at the beginning, she told Grandma Sun thousands of times that she must guard the medicine jar carefully and not give it to others.

But who knows something happened!

The more Guo thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she patted the armrest hard and said, "Then you know, there is something extra in that medicine!"

Grandma Sun was taken aback by Guo's sudden anger, and was even more frightened when she heard her question.

Although the general's mansion was always peaceful, but she had heard many incidents of rape in Beppu, and knew that this matter was serious, so she hurriedly knelt down in fear.

"Mrs. Mingjian, it's none of the old slave's business. Even if the old slave had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to add anything to the old lady's medicine, and to prevent accidents, the old slave would carefully identify the contents of the medicine before brewing it. Herbs are always the same."

She raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Guo, seeing her face was gloomy, lest she would not believe it.

"Ma'am, you know that this old slave is always careful and careful, not only before boiling the medicine, but also the dregs of the medicine will be carefully checked by the old slave. If there is a mistake during the period, it will never be with the old slave!"

Mrs. Sun was sure of what she said, and she didn't look like she was lying, so Mrs. Guo couldn't help but frown.

"Since you checked the dregs of the medicine, didn't you see that there was more ginseng in it?"

Although Mrs. Sun is a servant, she can't even distinguish ginseng.

Grandma Sun was very puzzled when she heard the words: "It is good to have ginseng, but isn't it always there after changing the prescription?"

Moreover, compared with the previous recipe, there are only more slices added blindly, and Grandma Sun doesn't think there is a problem.

Guo Shi was shocked and stood up abruptly.

She pointed at Grandma Sun and said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about? When did Grandma change the prescription!"

Grandma Sun was stunned: "It was a few months ago, when Zheng Guanshi, who was in charge of purchasing, gave the medicine to the old slave."

"The old slave wanted to ask Madam, but it can be seen that there are only some extra slices in it, I thought it was for the old Madam..."

Grandma Sun lowered her voice, although she didn't know what was wrong with adding more ginseng slices, but since Madam asked, something must have happened.

Since Mrs. Gu fell ill, Mrs. Guo has been in charge of the General's House,

She knew that Manager Zheng had just taken office a few months ago.

This matter is no small matter, Mrs. Guo is not good at making decisions by herself, so she hurriedly asked the maids around her to find Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was accompanying Gu Yao by the old lady's side, when he heard that Mrs. Guo had something to look for him, he couldn't help but frowned.

Gu Yao waved his hand at him: "She's a housewife, I'm afraid she can't handle this well, so go and have a look."

Mrs. Sun is from the daughter-in-law's yard. As a father-in-law, it's not easy for him to take care of her, so he handed her over to Mrs. Guo.

Now I came to look for Gu Qing, I'm afraid I found something.

Lu Qing looked at Gu Nanyan who was drawing blood for Mrs. Gu, nodded after a moment of hesitation, and followed the little maid back to the yard.

Gu Yao looked at Gu Nanyan worriedly: "Sister Nan, your grandmother is sick..."

Gu Yao didn't dare to ask.

He also knew that his old wife was seriously ill, and she had taken poisonous decoction, so the situation might not be good.

Gu Nanyan packed the drawn blood, put it in her sleeve, and put a bottle on Mrs. Gu before opening her mouth slowly.

"It's estimated that this decoction has been taken for a short time, and it seems that there is no serious problem at present."

Gu Yao was secretly relieved when he heard that there was no serious problem.

It's just that seeing the old wife fell asleep again, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Then why is she groggy all day long, sometimes she doesn't wake up for several days, a few times I thought she..."

I thought she wouldn't wake up.

Gu Yao didn't say anything, but the worry in his heart was obvious.

"Grandmother is so weak, mainly because she can't eat normally for a long time, and the nutrition in her body cannot be supplemented. I have already given her a nutritional injection, and I think her situation will be better tomorrow."

Seeing the joy on Gu Yao's old face, Gu Nanyan poured cold water on him again.

"It's just that there is a toxin in my grandmother's body. I don't know what it is yet. The specific situation needs to wait for the test results to come out."

Mrs. Gu's situation is more complicated, and it took too long.

Gu Nanyan couldn't tell what caused his symptoms for a while, and the best way was to do a blood test.

Although Gu Yao didn't understand what a laboratory test was, he also knew that his old wife's illness might not be that simple.

What's more, the granddaughter just mentioned toxins!

Gu Yao's face was very ugly. He didn't expect that such a thing as poisoning would happen in his general's mansion.

Thinking of what Guo Shi might have discovered, he couldn't sit still.

Instructing the servants to obey Gu Nanyan's orders, go to the warehouse to pick up anything they need, and then hurried away.

In the main room in the front courtyard, Guanshi Zheng knelt on the ground with a face full of fear, not daring to look up at Gu Yao who was sitting at the top.

"There is nothing suspicious about that woman, and Manager Zheng also admitted that he was the one who said about changing the dressing."

Gu Qing said in a deep voice.

It's not that he wants to protect Guo Shi.

After Gu Shen handed Granny Sun over to Mrs. Guo, he interrogated all the servants who knew her on weekdays, and there was indeed nothing suspicious.

"It's just that Manager Zheng said that the former manager Zhao Xiang told him about changing the dressing. His son sent someone to Zhao Xiang's house, but the building was empty."

"The neighbor said that a few months ago, the family went back to their hometown, saying that they went back to take care of their elderly mother."

Zhao Xiang's hometown is in a remote area in the south, and it takes more than a month to go back and forth.

Besides, if Zhao Xiang really did this, he would definitely not go back to his hometown as he said, for fear that the people he sent would run away.

It's just that he really didn't understand why a manager of purchasing would be so bold as to poison the old lady of the General's Mansion!
You must know that the old lady has an imperial order, poisoning her is the same as killing an imperial official, it is a capital crime.

"Did you send someone to the pharmacy to ask?" Gu Yao asked.

"I've asked. The person in charge of dispensing medicine is a clerk from the pharmacy. He asked for leave an hour ago."

Gu Qing's voice was a little cold.

An hour ago, it was Sister Nan who went to the East Hospital not long ago.

As soon as the front foot found out that there was something wrong with the medicine, the guy in charge of dispensing the medicine on the back foot asked for leave.

If you still can't see the problem, then there is no need for Gu Qing to be a servant.

"The shopkeeper said that his complexion was not very good, and he left in a hurry as if he had something urgent to do."

"The son went to look for him according to the address given by the shopkeeper. His mother said that he hadn't been back since he left in the morning."

Gu Yao frowned: "So, the clue is broken?"

"That's not true." Gu Qing said.

"Since the clerk from the pharmacy has escaped, it is natural that someone has tipped off the news. The second brother has brought someone to interrogate the gatekeeper. Anyone who comes in and out within this hour will be found out soon."

Just as he said this, Gu Shen walked in with his head held high, followed by guards escorting a few women and servants.

He called his father first, and then told what he had found.

"My son asked. These three people were the only ones who went out during this time, and two of them were under Guanshi Zheng's. He said that Guanshi heard that Sister Nan came back and asked the old people in the mansion to go out and buy some of Sister Nan. Come back with my son's favorite dishes."

Zheng Guanshi, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded quickly when he heard the words: "It is indeed the villain's order."

Gu Shen said again: "I've checked, they did go to the market to buy, and they are in the opposite direction from the pharmacy, so they probably don't have time to report."

Lu Qing nodded: "What about the other one?"

"another……"

Gu Shen hesitated, looking at Gu Yao who had a serious face.

"The other is Aunt Qiu of the West Courtyard."
