Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

After Haishi, Li Quan returned to the mansion.Bai Sanxiu thought that he would not come back tonight.Knowing that he hadn't had dinner yet, she invited the kitchen to make some simple and light food, while she scooped up a bowl of soup and consciously stayed by the side.

She is used to it now, this Si Zhi needs to be accompanied when eating.

While Li Quan was eating, a sly look flashed across her gaze, and she immediately had an ominous premonition.Sure enough, he leisurely said, "In the morning you..."

"You have a bug on your face!" Before he could finish, she hurriedly interrupted him, and then realized that her voice was a bit too high-pitched, so she quickly cleared her throat to suppress her nervousness, "I ...I just want to blow the bug away."

After speaking, I didn't dare to look at him at all.

Li Quan raised his eyebrows, "Oh."

Bai Sanxiu's ears were burning, and he wanted to explain again, but he felt that there was no more than 300 taels of silver here, so he had to change the subject: "What did Si Zhi find out today?"

Li Quan also knew how to stop when enough was enough, so he didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

"Inspired by you, I checked two things."

Bai Sanxiu raised her head eagerly, "Me?"

"You said that Qin Yuanlin's accidental discovery of the cinnabar short scale originated from Anshen Decoction, but what if this accident was deliberately left by someone?"

She was taken aback, "On purpose?"

"I said that if the death of Old Doctor Gu was a planned chronic poisoning, then the murderer had already stolen the scales in the pharmacy, but also tampered with the front hall. Such an obvious mistake, and the seriousness of the poisoning. The scheming is inconsistent. There is only poisonous wine in Gu Chengzhu's room but no daughter red, which is also suspicious. Therefore, today I asked all the pharmacists in Jishitang, and at the same time sent someone to check his private account. The amount is reconciled with the buyer."

"The results of it?"

Li Quan didn't answer but instead asked, "What do you think is the purpose if it was done on purpose?"

again!

Bai Sanxiu glanced at him angrily, but still thought seriously.Since Li Quan said that he intentionally left a loophole, "Could it be that the murderer wanted someone to find out about stealing the scale? But why did he..." Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the suspicious points in Gu Chengzhu's room, "The murderer may be someone else ?!"

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.If the murderer is someone else, these two doubts can be explained.The real murderer hoped that Gu Chengzhu's theft of the scale would be exposed, so he deliberately tampered with the front hall of the pharmacy. The poisoned daughter's red in Gu Chengzhu's medicinal wine was also poured in by the murderer, so naturally he couldn't find a separate filling container.

Li Quan then said: "According to the pharmacist's recollection, about a year and a half ago, for a period of time, Gu Chengyan often came to Jishitang to wander around, frequently entering and leaving the pharmacy in the name of supervising and auditing the accounts."

"So the eldest son may also know about stealing the scale?"

"Gu Chengzhu's private account records are fine, but after checking the problematic medicine scale in the pharmacy, the amount of medicinal materials that Gu Chengzhu put into the warehouse in his private account is a little less than the amount that the pharmacy didn't store. Of course, including cinnabar and aconitum."

Bai Sanxiu was surprised: "Isn't it very troublesome to reconcile the account, and it was checked so quickly?"

"It's been sorted out before, ready-made."

She had to admire his foresight.

"Is it possible that he deducted the medicinal materials for private use first, and this part was not recorded in the account book?"

"It can't be ruled out, but the private account is for myself to see, there is no need to fake it, it can be recorded as loss directly."

"So Si Zhi feels that the eldest son has the motive and suspicion of committing the murder?"

"There is suspicion, but there is no evidence. I plan to go to Gu Chengyan's residence tomorrow to test things out, and you will come with me."

"it is good."
