Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 127
"What's the matter, Si Zhi?" Seeing that Li Guan's expression was not relaxed, but rather gloomy, Bai Sanxiu asked in puzzlement.

Li Quan didn't say anything, but said: "Go and see Gu Mingyuan first."

After the first aid treatment last night, Gu Mingyuan is still in good condition. Although his body is still very weak, his mind is clear. As long as he stays in bed for a period of time, he will be fine.

Seeing Li Quan come in, his expression darkened: "Please trouble Si Zhi with the matter of the Gu family. Second brother, he..."

"After the inspection, it has been buried."

"I've also heard about the general situation. Poisoning...is it really the second brother's doing?"

Li Quan didn't comment, and asked, "Do you know about the stolen scales in the medicine shop?"

Gu Mingyuan was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I know something, but I didn't ask. The second brother has always been in charge of the pharmacy. If something is really found out, Ji Shitang's reputation must be damaged. The elder brother has no intention of medical skills, and Ji Shitang cannot be defeated. It's in the hands of my second brother and I. The Gu family's family business originally belonged to my second brother, I don't want to, and I can't really understand it."

After all, he is a medical student and manages Jishitang all the year round. Although he has suffered great changes, Gu Mingyuan still explained the intricate relationship of interests of this big family in just a few words.

Although he is recognized as having successful medical skills and good management, he is only an adopted son after all. If Gu Xinrong's two biological sons can't support him, Gu Mingyuan can't support him alone.That's why the elders of the Gu family want him to marry Gu Chenglan, because only in this way can he become the head of the family in a legitimate way.

Looking at that pale and emaciated face, Bai Sanxiu couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Mingyuan asked again: "Then, does the death of my late father have anything to do with my second brother?"

"According to the records in Gu Chengzhu's private account, there is indeed cinnabar in the medicinal materials of Moxia."

Li Quan was only stating the facts, but to Gu Mingyuan's ears, it was equivalent to affirming his guess.He clenched the quilt tightly, but quickly suppressed his emotions.But when he turned his head to look at Li Quan again, his eyes were a little red, and he said with difficulty: "I don't know if Si Zhi can..."

"I'll deal with it fairly." Before he could finish speaking, Li Quan interrupted him.

Bai Sanxiu changed her mind, and realized that Gu Mingyuan was asking Li Quan not to announce what happened to the Gu family, otherwise Yu Jishitang's reputation would be damaged.

But what kind of character is Li Yan?Rational indifference, impartiality and justice, it is impossible to conceal favoritism for such a reason.What's more, although he has known the Gu family for several years, he is not very close, and it is even less likely that he will let go.

After the two came out from Gu Mingyuan, Bai Sanxiu observed Li Quan's face again and again, and then asked, "Is there something else that Si Zhi hasn't figured out?"

Li Quan was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows to look at her: "Why do you think so?"

"Your expression. You are clearly saying that there are still doubts in the case."

Li Quan laughed, and then said seriously: "There are indeed doubts."

After all, Bai Sanxiu didn't participate in the search, so he won't keep it this time.

"There is one thing missing in Gu Chengzhu's room."

"what?"

"Daughter red mixed with aconitum."

"Huh? Isn't it in the medicinal wine he often drinks?" She was puzzled, and then realized, "You mean, the poison in the medicinal wine was poisoned before he died, and he couldn't have given himself the poison from the beginning. Altar of poison wine. And there is no single Nurhong in the house. So he put some in another container?"

"Not on him, nor in the house."

"That's really weird."

"One more thing. Since he has already weighed and weighed medicinal ingredients in the pharmacy, why did he have to do something in the front hall of the pharmacy? It's superfluous, and it's easy to be discovered. He planned the poisoning painstakingly, so he shouldn't have made such a mistake."

This was something she hadn't expected. "However, Qin Yuanlin found out that the cinnabar short scale was also accidental. Usually, cinnabar calming pills are prescribed. Who can tell if the amount is enough? That is to say, the Qin family needs to drink the decoction before they have a chance to go through the scale for verification."

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Li Quan's eyes lit up immediately.
