Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 122 Chronic Poisoning

Chapter 122 Chronic Poisoning

Originally, Bai Sanxiu wanted to go to Xishi Silverfish after leaving Gu Xinhai's place, and ask the boss about the "Secret Art Collection".Since Li Quan came to pick her up, he put the matter aside and reported to him all the questions he had asked in the past few days.

"It's very detailed. If the dossiers submitted by the state and county are as organized as you are, I will save trouble."

When the two returned to the guest room of Gu Zhai, Li Quan had read the confession records she had compiled, and as usual patted her on the head as a token of appreciation.Bai Sanxiu blushed slightly, but she was used to his intimacy.After all, he was the one who took care of him all the way back to Chang'an from Pinglu, and she was already very familiar with his embrace and breath.

...Thinking about it this way, she instantly felt that her face became hotter, so hot that it was about to smoke.

Li Yu glanced at her, but didn't tell her if she saw it through, he just asked: "Do you think there is anything suspicious?"

Bai Sanxiu collected herself, found some papers and handed them to him.

"It's not a suspicious point, but it's just a little hard to explain. One is that Mr. Gu's symptoms appeared one after another about two years before his death. It seems infrequent, but the statistics are not many. I have listed the symptoms and the approximate time. Looking at it this way , the old man seems to have fallen into a vicious circle. He was suspicious because of auditory hallucinations. He asked someone to do it. After drinking the talisman water, the auditory hallucinations became more serious, and his dependence on Buddhist rituals became more severe. Then I asked another doctor. I had a headache and hallucinations Listen, convulsions, salivation, numbness of the limbs and occasional incontinence are all symptoms of cinnabar poisoning. Maybe I think too much, but I have always felt that the old man should know the safe dosage of cinnabar based on his experience. I really made myself sick from drinking..."

"You suspect well. Any more?"

"There is also the distribution of family property. The eldest son's jade business has been subsidized by Ji Shitang. The Gu family and the people in Ji Shitang are very dissatisfied. Several Gu parents said that the old man may want to give a sum of money directly to settle the matter. Eldest son Although he also said that he wanted to separate the family early, I think what the old man is willing to give may not meet the expectations of the eldest son. As for the second son...he is still the same as before, helping the third son to manage the house together, but if the third son I'm not sure if he has any objections to becoming the Patriarch."

"Doctor Gu might have announced that Gu Mingyuan would inherit the family business?"

"Well, the elders and servants of the Gu family, as well as some old people in Jishitang, all think so."

"So at present, the possibility that Dr. Gu has been chronically poisoned cannot be ruled out. At the same time, Gu Chengyan, Gu Chengzhu and Gu Mingyuan have conflicts of interest in the distribution of family property."

"Yes."

"So what's your plan next?"

"Next..." Bai Sanxiu scratched her head in distress, "If it's really a long-term chronic poisoning, it's time to find out the source of the poison, right? You can check the pharmacy account book of Jishitang, but there shouldn't be any problems. After all, if it was poisoned secretly, it would not be so stupid as to leave obvious marks on the account. Cinnabar is not a difficult thing to buy, maybe you can go to another place...but it is so hard to find? I...I don't know."

She raised her head, originally wanting to ask Li Quan for help, but saw him staring at her with a faint smile on his face.She immediately blushed again and pouted unconsciously.

"You... Si Zhi, are you laughing at me as an amateur again?"

Li Quan hooked the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I didn't laugh at you. The idea is very good, and I happen to have a ready-made clue."

Bai Sanxiu immediately forgot the embarrassment just now, and asked excitedly: "What?"

"Let's go to Wannian County."
