Chapter 7

Ye Ke and Zhu You rushed back to the Duke's Mansion as quickly as possible.

"Where do you dry your medicinal residues?" Ye Ke asked after entering the gate and grabbing a servant.

Seeing that it was the "Eldest Young Madam" who had just entered the door with a dark marriage, the man wanted to be too lazy to answer, and was about to make a sarcasm, but then saw Zhu You's figure, shrank his neck, and quickly replied honestly: "In the corridor next to the kitchen superior."

Ye Ke asked the direction directly and hurried over, but Zhu You glanced at the servant, his eyes were cold, and the servant who looked directly was trembling.

The Duke's Mansion is not too small, it consists of many yards, besides the front and back gardens, there are seven or eight small yards, which are the bedrooms of Zhu's family, and the kitchen is in a row of houses near the west wall.

Ye Ke found it quickly, and when he took a closer look, he found a shelf for drying medicinal residues. The dustpan made of bamboo baskets contained boiled medicinal materials. Due to the recent light rain, it was still a little damp.

"Cypress yam, licorice and jujube. This is it!" Ye Ke grabbed a handful of herbs from a dustpan, smelled them, checked them carefully, and said firmly.

Standing behind Ye Ke, Zhu You consciously shielded her from the cold wind and said, "How?"

After searching for a while, Ye Ke's eyes finally brightened, and he took out a root-shaped medicinal material from it, handed it to Zhu You and said, "My lord, what do you think it is?"

Zhu You took it over, saw the medicinal material that had turned yellow after being fried, and said, "Isn't this Codonopsis pilosula?"

"No, it's not Codonopsis pilosula, but polygala!" Ye Ke said with a twist of his mouth.

"The rhizome of Polygala is pale yellow before it is processed or fried, and Codonopsis pilosula is lighter in color and has many roots. However, after processing, especially after frying, the two are very similar, but the medicinal properties are very different. farewell."

Zhu You asked a little puzzled, "What's the difference?"

Ye Ke let out a breath and said slowly: "Codonopsis ginseng is something that invigorates qi, but Polygala is calming and tranquilizing!"

"So that's how it is!" Zhu You squeezed Yuan Zhi's hand tightly, "That day, my elder brother added Yuan Zhi to his medicine and fell into a deep sleep. The murderer can do whatever he wants, and make sure that the movement is kept to a minimum!"

At this time, Ye Ke took the medicine dregs into a cloth bag and put them away: "I remember that it was written in the file of the yamen's interrogation that night, the three of them, including Xiaomei, felt that they slept very peacefully. It must be that their tea has also been drugged, so it will be safe."

Saying that Ye Ke was going to go outside, Zhu You said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there are four pharmacies in this city, distributed in four gates, it's good to let the errands go to the errands."

Ye Ke didn't expect Zhu You to be so considerate, and immediately praised that a child can be taught, but in exchange for Zhu You's helpless eyes.

After doing this, Zhu You proposed to take Ye Ke to see her residence, and while discussing the case, the two of them walked towards the west courtyard. Ye Ke clearly felt that she was coming towards the two of them.

The girl stepped forward and knelt down towards Zhu You, completely ignoring the dampness on the ground.

"Second Young Master, you have to decide for Xiaomei!" The servant girl spoke sadly and looked sad.

Zhu You helped her up, and then introduced to Ye Ke. It turned out that this woman was another person who was picked up by Zhu You and the old Duke together with Xiaomei, and her name was Xiaozhu.

"You don't have to worry, I will find out." The warm words came out of Zhu You's mouth, but they were not as gentle as they were to Ye Ke.

Xiaozhu hurriedly wiped away tears and thanked her, then turned to look at Ye Ke and said, "My servant, Xiaozhu, I have met the young lady!"

She had kept her head down just now, and only then did Ye Ke see her appearance clearly. Her small mouth and bright eyes, although they haven't opened yet, can already be seen that she will be a great beauty in the future.

"Don't call me that. Everyone in the house knows my identity, just call me by my name." Ye Ke said bluntly, a soul born in the new era would never admit such in-laws from the bottom of his heart.

Xiaozhu didn't say much, but looked straight at Zhu You's haggard face and said: "This servant girl heard that the young master returned to the mansion this morning, but the young master was busy with official duties, so he thought he had no chance to talk to you."

"Speak up if you have anything to say!"

"Second young master, you look so haggard, I'm afraid you haven't had a good rest for several days, you should pay more attention to your body!" Xiaozhu said with concern, eyes full of distress.

Zhu You just nodded lightly, "I have my own measure."

Seeing that Zhu You didn't fluctuate much, Xiao Zhu bowed his head and said, "Second Young Master, Xiaomei has been serving the Eldest Young Master, although the Eldest Young Master doesn't treat her very well, but no matter how upset she is, she won't be on the verge of murdering her." To the point, the two of us grew up together and entered the mansion together, how can I not know what kind of person she is, although she has a strong temper, she never shows it."

"I see. If it's okay, step back!" Zhu You nodded affectionately and indifferently. Xiao Zhu saluted when she saw it, and then passed between Ye Ke and Zhu You and slowly disappeared outside the courtyard gate. .

Ye Ke turned his head to see the little bamboo growing lotus away, and looked at Zhu You.

Zhu You: "?"

Ye Ke pinched his throat to imitate Xiao Zhu's way of speaking, and said in a pretentious way: "Second young master~ I see you are so haggard, you should pay more attention to your waist~~~!"

Wish you: "."

"Sister-in-law, don't be joking!"

Ye Ke chuckled, "I won't, what can you do to me?"

The criminal officer Zhu took a deep breath and used his trump card: "Halve the salary!"

Ye Ke petrified on the spot and yelled: "The contract. No, all the documents are signed. You are using your power for personal gain and withholding your salary. I'm going to sue you!"

Zhu You put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the moving ants on the ground and acted like a rogue: "Oh? Is that so? The salary on the document is still written as two coins, and it is reasonable for you to sue the emperor. When the time comes, it will happen I can use my identity as a criminal judge to punish you for a false accusation!"

Ye Ke covered the airport and almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth and said, "Dog officer!"

After fighting with each other for a while, the two came to the small courtyard. Fortunately, according to what Zhuyou said before, the place has been cleaned very clean and tidy. The three wing rooms are fully furnished and the bedding has been replaced with new ones. But it is enough for Ye Ke to live in. She is a very contented person in terms of housing. The place is clean and there is a shelter from the wind and rain, which is enough.

Before the two of them sat down, the Chief Criminal Officer came and brought a piece of news: a male corpse was found in the south of the city.
