Demon detective

Chapter 135
Yanping County Yamen, South Prison Prison, women's cells.

Xu Zhen took five or six medicine bottles, opened the lids respectively, and let Mrs. Wei Sai Na sniff them.

After sniffing the first few medicine bottles, Senna shook her head, but when she got to the last one, Senna recalled and said, "It seems a bit like this one."

Xu Zhen looked at the label, but saw that it said a name with a very high appearance rate: Mandala.

Xu Zhen knew that datura contained alkaloids, which were highly toxic substances, and were often used by ancient people for anesthesia.

Unexpectedly, it is also needed in the fragrance.

"But... the one I smelt seems to be more fragrant, it's a flower scent..." Senna sniffed it a few more times to recall better.

"Of course," Xu Zhen said, "If you want to make Mixiang, you can't make it with only this one ingredient. Can you think of anything else?"

"A sachet," Sai Na said, "the man definitely had a sachet on his body. The scent at that time was much stronger than these. I could smell the smell of fresh pollen and a little sweetness, as if... smeared with honey look..."

While speaking, Sena's cheeks were flushed, her breathing was short, and she unconsciously pressed her hand on Xu Zhen's neck.

"Mrs. Wei," Xu Zhen hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

"Don't call me Mrs. Wei," Sai Na pushed Xu Zhen away, "I have nothing to do with that sinister villain!"

After pushing Xu Zhen away, Senna relaxed a lot.

Xu Zhen realized that it might be because she smelled too much fragrance material just now?

These small bottles are filled with the main ingredients that Xu Zhen found through the fragrance formula in the records of "The Demonic Way".

In order to configure the real fragrance, the process is a bit complicated, and many rare and precious auxiliary materials need to be added. Xu Zhen can only bring the main ingredients first and let Sena identify them.

Unexpectedly, the main ingredients are so strong. If this is made into a real fragrance, then you have to control yourself, and you must not be a flower picker?

……

Xu Zhen wanted to use this free time to solve the incident of Wei Yulang being cuckolded.

After getting out of the prison, Xu Zhen went to the Wei Mansion, wanting to discuss with Wei Yulang to see if he could gather all the people on the guest list to the Wei Mansion again.

Because, according to the information provided by Wei Yulang, Xu Zhen searched all these guests, but did not find a few suspects.

And the suspects who were found out are now all ruled out, either because of their body type, or because they have never seen Senna.

Originally, there was a strong suspicion of a pharmacy, but all the servants in the house clearly remembered that because he drank too much, he was finally carried home and did not stay in Wei's house, so it couldn't be him.

Therefore, Xu Zhen wanted to gather those people again and check them in person.

Unexpectedly, when I went to Wei's mansion and asked, the servants in the mansion said that Wei Yulang had gone to Wanhualou to give porridge!
Porridge?

Xu Zhen was surprised, and the servant in the house quickly added: "There are also steamed buns and pickles..."

What's the situation?

Xu Zhen scratched his head again and again, Wei Yulang serving porridge at the gate of Wanhualou?

This is too fresh, right?
With the mind of watching the excitement, Xu Zhen rushed to Wanhualou.

Sure enough, I saw that those charming and charming sisters in Wanhualou actually gave porridge at the door to help the poor.

I choked up, and Xu Zhen was dumbfounded.

But among the ladies and sisters, there are many beauties from other countries. They all rolled up their sleeves, showing their green arms, pouring porridge and rice for the poor people who lined up. They worked hard, forming a unique and beautiful landscape.

At first, some hooligans wanted to come to take advantage of it, but Wanhualou's thugs quickly drove them away to ensure that every poor person could get alms.

According to the inquiry, the porridge giving event had to be held for ten consecutive days, and Wanhualou was closed for ten days accordingly.

It seems that Wei Yulang also spent his money.

However, Xu Zhen searched for a long time, but he didn't see Wei Yulang himself, nor Wei Yulang's housekeeper Lao Liu.

His subordinates said that Wei Yulang might have gone to the county government office to give gifts to the newly appointed county magistrate.

No way?
Hearing this news, Xu Zhen was even more surprised. Wei Yulang always thought highly of himself, how could he think highly of a small county magistrate?
But after the shock, he also wanted to understand Wei Yulang's psychology.

Wei Yulang was elected by the people as the head of the four bullies, the so-called officials, bandits, merchants, and gangsters. Now the last three have been destroyed, and now he is the only one left.

Wei Yulang may not be afraid of the imperial court or the county government, but he has to be afraid of the common people?

The downfall of the three bullies made him truly see how powerful the common people are. At this time, if someone fanned the flames, Wei Yulang might be burnt to ashes with a small flame!

People don't care how big your background is or how many foreign friends you have, as long as you don't like it, first burn down your Wanhua Building, then burn down your Wei Mansion, leaving you with nothing.

Therefore, Wei Yulang's mentality must have undergone a huge change, and he became a frightened bird.

He knew that the situation was wrong, so the most urgent thing to do was to please the people and the county magistrate, so as not to get burned...

Interestingly, Song Zhili left, but reversed and elevated the county magistrate's status. Chen Houlu held Wei Yulang's power of life and death in his hands, and Wei Yulang had to be afraid.

What's more, Chen Houlu wears an imperial golden belt around his waist, so his status and status will naturally rise, which is completely different.

Ok!

Xu Zhen didn't bother to go to the yamen to see Wei Yulang's distress, so he went straight home.

Although she has a dream to study in Jinxiu Study, but because the distance is not far away, she still goes home at noon every day to cook for Xu Zhen.

Tomorrow night there will be a night market with lanterns, Xu Zhenzhen wondered if he should go to the night market with a dream, buy some decent new clothes for her, buy some gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache and other things to make the little daughter-in-law happy ?

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the door of his house and looked, he saw two carriages parked at the door, and people dressed as servants were unloading things from the carts and moving them into his home.

Before Xu Zhen understood what was going on, he heard a dreamy voice from the yard:
"You... don't do this, my master hasn't come back yet, you have to wait for him to come back, if he doesn't agree, how dare I accept it..."

"Cough!" At this moment, a familiar voice came from the yard, "Is there any agreement or disagreement? Xu Butou is my master's sworn brother. It is only natural for the eldest brother to buy things for his sworn brother. Madam Xu, please keep it." ..."

Wow, no way?

After just a few words, Xu Zhen understood something and rushed into the yard.

Sure enough, I saw Wei Yulang's housekeeper, Lao Liu, instructing the servants to place items. The items included silk and satin, rouge and gouache, daily necessities, chickens, ducks and fish, as if they were married as a betrothal gift...

"Master, you are back!" Seeing Xu Zhen, Youmeng ran to him and "complained" and said, "I won't let them move, but they want to move, I didn't say yes, please tell them quickly !"

"Really," hearing Youmeng's "complaint", Xu Zhen suddenly "raged", and shouted at the housekeeper, "Old Liu, you are so outrageous, how can you send so many things? My brother and I have a strong relationship, But how can our pure brotherhood be replaced by material things?"

"Captain Xu, this is Master Wei's congratulations on your promotion," Lao Liu quickly explained, "It's just a small respect, um..."

Before Lao Liu finished speaking, he saw Xu Zhen raising his hand to signal.

"Old Liu, what I mean is, don't just give gifts!" Xu Zhen said seriously, "Look, many parts of my house are dilapidated and in urgent need of repairs;

"And my yard is overgrown with weeds, it has been abandoned for many years and we really can't clean it;
"Of course, you see my little daughter-in-law suffers from hard work every day, and there is no maid at home to take care of her, and she has to wash vegetables and cook. Tell me... the friendship between me and my elder brother can't be replaced by material things alone?"

"People, people! I understand," Lao Liu said with a strong comprehension ability, "Don't worry, people are a trivial matter. The best servant girl is the cook's mother, and she will arrive in the afternoon..."
