The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 244 Secret
Zhang Yu also realized that he had said the wrong thing and wanted to make amends, but Yu Qiansi did not give him the opportunity. Her voice was cold, as if it came from the wind in the cold night outside the door.

"Master Zhang, to be honest, I don't care what you and Mo Niang are doing. I have limited time, and I just want to finish my business and leave as soon as possible. You deliberately obstructed me, and this time is a lesson."

Yu Qiansi saw him dodge and took a step closer.

"Whether I am an official or judging cases, I have never done it for justice, but for my own pleasure. I am not competent, and I can even say that I abuse my power. But at least, I am honest. I am a real villain, and everyone knows this. Unlike you, Lord Zhang, who talks about loyalty and righteousness, serving the king and the country, and so on. But in reality, everything you do is the behavior of a hypocrite. So."

Therefore, a light punishment was given to him as a severe warning to let him know the consequences of deceiving Jade Rakshasa.

Zhang Yu understood what Yu Qiansi had not yet finished saying, and felt as if a pair of invisible hands were locking his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He subconsciously felt that the woman in front of him seemed to know everything. He was flustered and breathing rapidly, not knowing what he was thinking about, and he was in great pain.

The word "official" seemed to bring back his thoughts. Zhang Yu slowly came to his senses and laughed at himself.

"Master Yu, how did you know that?"

"Although you handled my temptations very well during the day, you actually made a mistake from the beginning."

Zhang Yu tried hard to think back, but in the end, the fire had taken away too much of his rationality. All that was left in his mind was a ruin.

"Lord Zhang is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and he is praised by the people. But even if he loves the people like his own children, he calls her a blind woman at most. If he really has nothing to do with her, how could he know her name that no one cares about before the coroner identifies the deceased's true identity?"

Zhang Yu pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, feeling absurd and ridiculous.

He respected her and didn't want to call her by the same name as others, as that would become a handle against her.

"You keep saying that you can't be both loyal and righteous. You say you are serving the country and the king, but you are here to deceive the people, using the trust of the fish spirit to pervert the law." Yu Qian's sarcasm became stronger and stronger: "Master Zhang, this is terrible. Even if I am a Jade Rakshasa, if I want to kill so many people in the yard, I will have to think for a long time."

Mo Niang, this is really generous.

Zhang Yu knew what Yu Qiansi was thinking. He looked pale and weak, but still wanted to defend Mo Niang: "She is not, she didn't..."

Yu Qiansi threw the stone directly into Zhang Yu's arms, and saw with satisfaction that he staggered a few steps after being hit.

"Although I don't know where this stone came from, but looking at this stone, it is hard and has broken crystals, so it must be something like quartz. This kind of thing is loose and porous. If it is soaked in poison, it will naturally be toxic. I don't know why the people in Wanyao Hall use this thing as a knife. What kind of Wanyao Hall ceremony was held yesterday? At this point, everything is not difficult to guess, right?"

Yesterday, the food that everyone in Wanyaotang ate was prepared by the restaurant. Today, the servants who survived the attack ate the same food as the master and his disciples. Naturally, there would be no problem with the food.

Then, something went wrong that ordinary servants could not touch.

But she had done a simple autopsy on the bodies. The poison entered through the mouth, and there was nothing wrong with the hands of all the dead, so it must have been something that was taken orally.

During this trip to the imperial mausoleum, she did not expect to encounter anything other than autopsies. Therefore, she only learned some useful techniques at the charity cemetery.

So she came up with the idea of ​​setting fire to the house, killing two birds with one stone.

As she expected, after the autopsy, the coroner of Longyuan found that all the deceased had several of the same precious medicinal herbs in their stomachs, no matter what they had eaten.

But these medicinal herbs are all very nutritious and there is absolutely no possibility of poisoning.

The coroner of Longyuan was indeed very serious. He endured the stench and took out the herbs from the deceased's stomach one by one. After sorting them, he soaked them in water and fed the water to his own birds. Only then did he discover the source of the poison. When he thought of the blade, he understood everything.

"Master Zhang, you really have a good coroner. He helped me a lot."

I think the host will give some medicinal food at the Wanyaotang ceremony. Yesterday, the stone knife was dipped in poison, so naturally the poison was contaminated on the medicinal materials.

"Yesterday, Mo Niang was pushed, it must have been intentional." Yu Qiansi held up a dirty handkerchief: "This is the handkerchief I used to wipe the wooden board in front of Wanyaotang tonight. Lord Zhang's coroner is so good, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find traces of salt powder in it."

Mo Niang often worked everywhere. She had already tampered with the wooden board in front of the door at night. She fixed her own fish spirit on one side of the movable board and installed a movable wooden latch on the back of the board. Then, she took advantage of the cold winter weather to freeze the latch with icicles, which also served to support the board.

During the day, she pretended to be pushed down and sprinkled some salt powder on it. The salt powder slowly melted the icicle, revealing the wooden bolt. The wooden bolt, with cotton thread connected to the movable side, was pulled to the middle of the road and covered with a layer of soil and rocks.

Therefore, after a night, the street sweeper would accidentally sweep the thread when sweeping the next day, which would pull the pin, and the wooden board would flip over, revealing the fish spirit that was originally fixed there.

Yu Qiansi looked at Zhang Yu, with suspicion growing in her eyes.

Zhang Yu must be aware of his own coroner's abilities. If he really didn't want the coroner to get to the bottom of the matter, he wouldn't have signed the autopsy document.

What does he want to do?
"As expected of you, Lord Yu. All my tricks are exposed in front of you."

Zhang Yu's shoulders relaxed, like a traveler who had unloaded all his luggage. Suddenly he couldn't hold on any longer and slowly slid down to sit down, holding onto the wall.

"It's all fate. After knowing you were coming, I advised her to hold off for the time being. But she didn't want to wait any longer." Zhang Yu looked at the candlelight, letting the light jump and sting his eyes.

Mo Niang's face was reflected in the flickering firelight.

He still remembered Mo Niang looking up at him, the two dark holes on her face seemed filled with hatred that was about to burst out.

"If you miss today, you will have to wait another year. I am just an ordinary woman, I don't have an indestructible will. Over the years, I have endured to the limit. If you want to quit, then I will do it myself!"

After saying this, Mo Niang pushed him away fiercely and stumbled to the ground. Her tattered but neatly-made clothes were covered with a layer of filth that only belonged to this world.
He lay on the ground searching for a long time before he found the base of the wall. He held onto the wall and left resolutely.

"Master Yu is right. I am not a good official. But it is precisely because I want to be a good official that I want to help Mo Niang."

"Mo Niang's ancestors were good at finding and making medicines. Lord Yu is not an expert in medicine, so you may not know something." Zhang Yu touched the stone in his hand and did not forget to mock her.

"All things in the world are like humans. Some are strong, while others are weak. Medicinal herbs are plants, and the same is true. Even if they grow together and bathe in the same sunlight, they are still different. Mo Niang's ancestors were good at finding herbs."

Yu Qiansi suddenly realized.

The medicinal materials of Wanyaotang cost much less than those of other companies, but their medicinal properties are comparable. Could it be because of this secret method of finding medicine?
If there really is such a unique secret method in the world that can identify the medicinal properties of medicinal materials
Buy medicinal materials at ordinary prices, and then select and identify the medicinal materials with stronger medicinal properties to steam them.

——No wonder Wanyaotang could become the number one pharmacy in Longyuan in just a few years!

Zhang Yu saw that Yu Qiansi understood immediately and started to tell the story in detail.

"The master of Wanyaotang was originally a disciple of Mo Niang's father. He was jealous of his fellow disciple, so he colluded with evil people and harmed Mo Niang's family. He then fled to another place with the book that recorded all the methods of identifying medicines."

Ten years ago, there was war and chaos, and the royal family was unable to take care of themselves, let alone these small people from the lower classes.
