Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Their eyes met, and Bai Sanxiu saw the same question in Li Quan's eyes.

Gu Chengyan had similar symptoms when he was a child, so was his death today an accident, or did someone do it intentionally?

Sure enough, Li Quan asked, "Have you never seen him have a seizure?"

"No……"

"After waking up this morning, are you sure that everything you eat and touch is the same?"

"It's nothing special!" Mrs. Liu said sobbingly as she recalled, "He heard that the adults were coming, so he went to the study after dinner, and he just ordered a cup of tea."

That cup of tea had been tested by Li Quan just now, and it was indeed not poisonous.

"Madam, think about it carefully, what else has Mr. Gu come into contact with?"

Liu was out of breath from crying, her mind was still in a mess, and she couldn't even think about it.Li Quan didn't force it anymore.Before the people from Wannian County came, he simply searched Gu Chengyan's body first.After looking for it, I really found something.

This is a pocket iron box the size of a copper coin. It is placed in Gu Chengyan's sleeve pocket, and it seems to be his personal belongings.

"what is this?"

The servant girl who was waiting on the side said: "Young master often suffers from headaches, and when it occurs, apply some ointment on the temples."

Li Quan opened the lid, sniffed it, and handed it to Bai Sanxiu.

"Is this cooling oil?" Bai Sanxiu asked after smelling it.

"No, it's called Qingxuan ointment, and Ji Shitang specially made it for the young master. But we smell the same as the girl, it really looks like cooling oil."

After Bai Sanxiu listened, she leaned over and took a closer look at Gu Chengyan's temples on both sides. While hesitating, Li Tong pulled her away, "Wait for Wu Zuo to come."

She was slightly taken aback, but then her heart warmed up.He knew that she was hesitating whether to get closer to smell it, and he could also see that she was still a little scared, and he didn't want to force her to solve the case.

Gu Chengyan's own house is not too far away from Gu's main house, and not long after, Gu Mingyuan came in a sedan chair.Although he was not in danger of his life, his body was still very weak and he couldn't stand the toss, so he could only choose the stable way of traveling in a sedan chair.

Regarding Gu Chengyan's death, when Gu Mingyuan arrived, the shock on his face hadn't completely faded away.Seeing Mrs. Liu who was sobbing beside him, he gave a few words of comfort, and after getting permission from Li Quan, he sat down on the chair with a pale face.

"I didn't expect elder brother to leave too." He was a little dazed, and seemed to be talking to himself, and then asked Li Quan earnestly, "Elder brother, this is...does Si Zhi have a judgment in his mind?"

"Not yet. Third son, does the eldest son have any old diseases?

Gu Mingyuan thought about it carefully, and then said: "Brother has always been in good health, and there is nothing serious about it. I just heard that something happened to me when I was a child. I hadn't come to Gu's house at that time. It was probably because I suddenly felt suffocated, couldn't breathe, and my body still hurt. Hives."

"In your opinion, what is that symptom?"

"It's not easy to judge. I can only say that it's a bit like an allergy. But after so many years, my eldest brother didn't commit the crime again, and the family didn't ask again."

"What did Mr. Gu say?"

"No." Gu Mingyuan saw the small iron box in Li Guan's hand, understood it, and explained, "Brother is prone to headaches all the year round, so my late father prescribed this ointment. Some of the medicines are indeed the same as the prescription of qingliangyou, so It smells similar. This ointment is also made by the pharmacy."

While talking, Xu Chaozong arrived with a group of yamen servants.In such a short period of time, several people in the Gu family died in succession, which surprised Xu Chaozong.

Wu Zuo carefully inspected Gu Chengyan's body.He suffered no trauma, was not poisoned, and indeed died of an allergic attack.

Li Quan didn't say anything more, and asked his servants to restrain Gu Chengyan's body, and ordered the servants to seal up the evidence in the study and take it away.
