The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 242 Precision Poisoning
"Master Zhang, things have been busy these days."

Zhang Yu dragged his feet to the back hall, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard a faint sound coming from inside the house.

He shuddered with surprise, looked around and saw no one, then hurried into the house and closed the door.

"Sir, how dare you come to the government office in broad daylight."

Yu Qiansi sat crookedly in Zhang Yu's seat, playing with a faded bamboo pen. She glanced casually at the blood on Zhang Yu's hand and knew that the matter of Wanyaotang in the morning had been reported to the government.

"Did you send Mo Niang home yesterday?"

Zhang Yu's face froze. "What does this have to do with you, sir? On the contrary, sir, you suddenly showed up at Wanyaotang yesterday. Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy? Or do you not trust me?"

"How's the investigation going into the bloody fish spirit in front of Wanyaotang?" Yu Qiansi answered the question irrelevantly. After straightening the tip of the pen, he hung it back on the pen holder. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the somewhat uneasy Zhang Yu with a smile.

"How do you know about Wanyaotang? Did you do it?" Zhang Yu was shocked and felt a little angry.

"Is Lord Zhang so hasty in judging cases?" Yu Qiansi straightened up and looked at Zhang Yu who was standing in front of him. Although he was being questioned, he looked like an official trying a case.

"I've seen that bell, so I'm curious and want to ask about the case."

Zhang Yu stood there, feeling a bit oppressed. Hearing Yu Qiansi's words, he frowned and suppressed his anger, saying, "We are indeed looking for clues about this fish spirit. Your Excellency is the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice, in charge of all prison affairs. If your Excellency knows the details, you should tell the truth for the sake of official business and find the owner of this fish spirit as soon as possible."

Seeing that he was furious, Yu Qiansi changed the subject: "How are the people at Wanyaotang?"

Zhang Yu was already a little impatient, and said without thinking: "Except for some maids and servants, the master of Wanyaotang and his disciples are all dead."

After he finished speaking, he came to his senses and could no longer hide the shock, anger and disgust in his eyes. He stared at the woman in front of him with bright eyes and a faint smile.

She said something here and there, seemingly calm and relaxed, but she easily figured out the case.

All the core figures of Wanyaotang are dead.

Yu Qiansi raised her eyebrows slightly. Seeing Zhang Yu staring at her bluntly for the first time, she completely abandoned her scholarly manner. Before he could drive her away, she sighed softly, "That's the fish spirit from Mo's family. I've seen it before."

It was like a swallow feather falling to the ground, but it stirred up thousands of waves.

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment. Before Yu Qiansi had time to figure out his expression, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the house.

"Sir, we have found the owner of that fish spirit."

The moment Zhang Yu came back to his senses, Yu Qiansi had disappeared. He lowered his head in silence for a moment, opened the door, and shouted weakly: "What are you doing so rashly!"

"That fish spirit belongs to the blind woman from yesterday! The blind woman is dead! This is really weird. I heard that the bell suddenly appeared at the entrance of Wanyaotang for some reason. Now people are saying that the blind woman died unjustly and that the people in Wanyaotang were killed by the fish spirit of the blind woman."

Zhang Yu stood at the door, holding it with both hands, and shouted, "How can a government official just listen to such nonsense? Go find a coroner to examine the body. I'll be there right away."

After the official left, Zhang Yu looked around the house, but still couldn't find any trace of Yu Qiansi. He was sure that she had left, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still hanging.

With such a big incident, I wonder if the county magistrate and the county magistrate will return to Longyuan. If they find out that the person they are searching for is in the Longyuan government office, the two of them will definitely look very excited.

Yu Qiansi had just heard that Mo Niang was dead and that government officials had intervened, so he realized that all this had nothing to do with him, but was instead a grudge between Mo Niang and Wan Yao Tang.

She didn't believe that fish spirits killed people.

Now that I think about it, there was something wrong with everything that happened yesterday.

Zhang Yu also felt a sense of strangeness. Yesterday, he saw her appear in Wanyaotang and was very surprised, so she hurriedly gave him a list of official medicine shops for rent.

But she was not good at reading people's expressions and she could only see that under the circumstances today, he would definitely not let her interfere in this matter.

If Wanyaotang was really related to what she wanted to investigate, the county magistrate and county magistrate of Longyuan would surely return as soon as possible after learning the news. The risk of her being discovered would also be greater.

Thinking of the strangeness of Wanyaotang, she decided to go back to the inn to rest and visit Wanyaotang again tonight.

After three o'clock in the morning, Yu Qiansi, wearing black clothes and a mask, landed in the backyard of Wanyaotang.

This afternoon, the corpses on the ground had been moved to the government residence, but a sense of coldness still lingered.

Thinking of what he saw last night, it was still a lively and bustling scene. Yu Qiansi's eyes revealed some sadness.

According to the news from the streets today, Wanyaotang was offering sacrifices to the ancestor of the main family last night, which was a big event for Wanyaotang. No wonder it was so lively last night until almost dawn.

But she and the two beggars had been staring at the Wanyao Hall, and no one passed by the hall. If someone threw the fish spirit from a high place, it would naturally not escape her eyes.

How on earth did that blood-stained fish spirit suddenly appear right under his nose?

Yu Qiansi hesitated for a moment, resisted the urge to go to the front door to find out what was going on, and headed towards the study of the master of Wanyao Hall.

Bo Yi is still struggling to hold on. The most urgent task is to find the rental documents of the pharmacy and find out the whereabouts of those things as soon as possible.

These things have little to do with the murder case and are not valuable, so they escaped the government's search today.

Thanks to the rough hands of those bad guys, she easily found all the letters and correspondence between the master of Wanyaotang and the brokers among a pile of documents.

With the light of the tinder, Yu Qiansi got a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Sure enough, it was different from the one Zhang Yu gave him.

Yu Qiansi snorted coldly, and became angry. Thinking of what Zhang Yu did today, she was even more angry. After putting all the documents in her arms, she began to check the scene.

The biggest news in Longyuan City today is the matter of Wanyaotang.

Although she did not go near the government residence and Wanyaotang during the day, she was able to figure out some tricks from the bizarre hearsay.

Wanyao Hall was in turmoil for the second half of the night yesterday, but the surviving servants did not notice anything unusual.

But all of them were dead within a few hours, with no external injuries and no signs of struggle or fighting.

Poisoning is naturally the most likely method.

Thinking about the grand occasion at Wanyaotang yesterday, I'm afraid someone might have added something to the food and drinks.

Yu Qiansi eliminated the kitchen first.

Although the kitchen of a wealthy family is a mess, it is actually the most cautious place. Even if the food is poisoned, it is difficult to ensure that the food will not be given to others by the host.

Such precise and purposeful poisoning
Yu Qiansi thought of the strangeness of Wanyaotang's medicine, and based on his memory of yesterday, he jumped into the small courtyard of the medicine factory in the southeast.

Perhaps, the secret of Wanyaotang lies here.
