Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

The two returned to Jishitang and asked the pharmacists with more than two years of experience. Sure enough, a year and a half to two and a half years ago, many pharmacists in the front hall who filled the medicine had inaccurate hand feeling when they were on duty.Everyone didn't take it seriously at the time. Looking back now, it's hard to say it was just a coincidence.One person can be said to be inexperienced, so many people are like this, it can only mean that there is a problem with the medicine scale.

Li Quan immediately checked all the medicine scales in the pharmacy, and they were all accurate.Checking the accounts of the pharmacy during that time, there is no problem.It has been a long time and it is no longer possible to prove this conjecture, but if someone in Jishitang really "stealed" the medicine persistently and premeditatedly, then the cause of Gu Xinrong's death is very suspicious.

There are strict procedures for the storage, delivery, inventory check, and management of medical equipment for all medicinal materials in Jishitang, and there are very few people who can play tricks on them.Combined with the internal interest dispute of the Gu family, the suspect is ready to emerge.

In addition to directly picking up medicines in the front hall, Jishitang also has a pharmacy to make pills and powdered medicines.Li Quan wanted to check the weighing pan of the pharmacy again, but because it was getting late, he decided to check again the next day.Gu Mingyuan saw that Li Guan was rarely free and he didn't have to be busy with business, so he invited him to have dinner together.Li Quan and him have known each other for many years, so he didn't refuse.

At this time, the first seven days of mourning had passed, and Gu Chengyan went back to his own house. Because Gu Mingyuan was going to take care of the Jishi Hall, he also changed his white mourning clothes and continued to keep his mourning in black.In order to entertain Li Quan, he specially took out his treasured daughter Hong.

"Li Sizhi, Miss Bai please."

"I'll be on duty tomorrow, so I won't drink."

Li Quan seldom drank alcohol when he was outside.Gu Mingyuan didn't say anything more, and asked his servants to change the tea for the two of them, and then raised his glass to thank him: "Si Zhi is diligent in his official duties, and he has to worry about his father's affairs. He has been traveling around for a few days. Mingyuan thanked you again. gone."

"You don't need to say thank you to the third son for the things you do."

"The cinnabar talisman was also temporarily suppressed by Si Zhi's talisman paper, and the whole mansion was at peace. It is not an exaggeration to say that Si Zhi is the benefactor of the Gu family. I know that Si Zhi cannot accept thank you gifts, so I will drink three cups here to express my gratitude." Affection."

As he said that, Gu Mingyuan drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, picked up the jug and was about to refill it, but suddenly his expression changed drastically!He looked at Li Quan in fear, gave a dry "woo" and shook his hand violently, the wine pot hit the table, and he himself knocked over the bench and fell to the ground.

Li Quan and Bai Sanxiu were startled, and hurried forward to check.Gu Mingyuan's face was pale, he couldn't speak, and soon began to salivate and vomit, and his breathing became more and more difficult.Fortunately, the waiter next to him reacted quickly, and immediately called a doctor from Jishitang to come over. After a quick examination, he judged that it was aconite poisoning.

It turned out that Gu Mingyuan's sob just now was because he wanted to say aconitum.

The doctor immediately tried to induce vomiting for him, and ordered his servants to decoct the medicine.After such a toss, it was not until late at night that Gu Mingyuan's situation stabilized.Li Quan and Bai Sanxiu stayed up in the guest room, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

"Someone poisoned the wine?"

"It seems so."

Bai Sanxiu said in fear: "Fortunately, Si Zhi doesn't drink, otherwise..."

Thinking that Li Quan was almost poisoned by the poison, she couldn't restrain the pain, imagining that scene, she couldn't help but breathe faster.Suddenly, a warm and powerful hand held hers, and she looked up anxiously, feeling the silent comfort from those gentle and calm black eyes, and her heart slowly settled down.

At this time, Yu Wei, the doctor who gave Gu Mingyuan first aid, came in, and Bai Sanxiu quickly withdrew her hand, turning her body slightly to hide her embarrassment.Li Quan didn't expose her, and looked at Yu Wei questioningly.

Yu Wei saluted first, and then said: "Don't worry, Si Zhi, the amount of aconitum in this wine may not be much, or the medicinal properties have not yet evaporated, the third son is only slightly poisoned, and he is fine."

Li Quan nodded.During the period of Yu Wei's rescue, he had asked the housekeeper to check and seal the wine presented tonight, and it was indeed poisonous.

"I have to trouble Mr. Yu to take care of it tonight."

"Si Zhi is polite. This is what a villain should do."

After Yu Wei withdrew, Li Quan turned his head and asked the housekeeper, "Where is the second young master?"

"If you go back to Si Zhi, the second young master is in the room."

Li Quan narrowed his eyes slightly: "He still doesn't know what happened?"

"Second Young Master has not moved for the time being."

"I remember that the second son's yard is not far away, go and have a look at his place."

"Yes."

The housekeeper respectfully agreed, and just as he led Li Quan and Bai Sanxiu out of the guest room, a servant girl ran over and shouted in panic, "It's no good, the second young master, he, he was also poisoned!"
