Chapter 360 Searching the Inner House
"But how can we find out in a short while? You heard what I asked just now. Some of them must be lying, but it will take time to prove it." The old lady showed a embarrassed expression on her face, and she didn't mean to shirk.

This was enough. Bai Zhi asked tentatively: "Old madam, can you teach me how to check?"

Before the old lady could respond, Taozi stopped her from the side: "Grandma, we must not let outsiders interfere in the affairs of our house. Not to mention that it will make people look like there is no one in our house. Who knows her?" What kind of peace of mind do you have!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly echoed: "That's right, Tao Zi is very right, mother, please don't trust outsiders."

Bai Zhi smiled coldly: "It's just to find out the truth, nothing else."

As she spoke, she secretly pinched her fingers and used the truth-telling trick on those present.

After all, in other people's homes, you have to cut the mess quickly.

"May I ask which one of you has sulfur in his hand?"

It sounds like irrelevant questions, and everyone's guard is not so strong.

Tao Zi and the others said that they would not touch those things, after all, they are female relatives and have always been in the inner courtyard.

Bai Zhi then asked the maids and women: "Have any of you seen such things as sulfur in the backyard?"

A woman said aloud: "What does sulfur look like? I have never seen it and I don't know."

Bai Zhi took out a small paper bag from her pocket, opened it and said, "This is something like this. Take a look, have you seen it before? It has a special smell."

The woman spoke again: "I have seen it, it seems to be..."

Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Taozi: "You should be careful in your words and deeds in the end, or you will bear the consequences."

This was Chi Guoguo's threat, the woman couldn't help but shivered in fright, and dared not speak again.

Bai Zhi said quietly from the side: "There is an old lady who will uphold justice for you. You can rest assured and don't be threatened."

As she spoke, she looked at the old lady.

The old lady also gave face, and responded aloud: "Just tell the truth, otherwise you will be at your own risk."

Only then did Bai Zhi say to the old woman again: "Have you heard what the old lady said? Let's continue."

The mother-in-law nodded because of Bai Zhi's truth formula before, and said: "Yes, it seems to be in the Missy's room, when she asked to sweep the floor that day, there seemed to be such powder on the ground, and it smelled like this. I wondered what it was, and it didn't look like it was made of rouge cream or something."

Taozi immediately darkened her face and warned angrily: "You'd better think clearly, are you sure or not, and don't put the shit basin on my head to get credit for yourself. Let me tell you, she patted her butt and left, I am not."

The mother-in-law trembled all over again when she threatened her, but she still told the truth: "I'm sure, I don't dare to lie."

"Old madam, could you please take someone to take a look at the eldest lady's room?" Bai Zhi asked the old madam again.

The old lady still readily agreed: "Okay, Mrs. Lin, it's up to you, lead the way to search the eldest lady's room."

Tao Zi became anxious when she heard that, she blocked the door, stomped her feet and acted like a baby to the old lady: "Grandma, why do you let these vulgar things search my room? If they come in and touch something in my room, I don't want it."

The old lady raised her face suddenly and shouted: "You bastard, you are as virtuous as your mother, and you are shameless. What are you? You are just a country girl, but standing in front of you is the noble Xianghe The county lord, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Shen, the nephew and daughter-in-law of the current empress, a celebrity in front of the emperor, a well-known genius doctor in the capital, with profound Taoism..."

She said so much in one breath, her face was a little red and her breathing was unstable.

After a slight pause, the old lady said again: "As long as you occupy one of them, you will be considered lucky in this life. Although I bear the status of a princess, but my mother's family has long since declined, and the capital has no connections. Putting on airs?"

The more she talked, the more angry she became, the old lady reached out to hit the peaches.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi hurriedly persuaded: "The old lady is really serious, don't get angry."

Then she said to Tao Zi: "Miss can follow and will never mess with your things. I also hate people entering my room and rummaging. I can understand your feelings, but I hope you can take care of the overall situation. After all, this time The matter is related to the life and death of Qingcheng Taoist Temple. Please lead the way, Missy."

As she spoke, she made a gesture of invitation.

Since the old lady gives face, she must also make enough face.

Come and don't go indecent.

Taozi turned away from looking at her.

The old lady shouted in a deep voice: "Peach!"

Her tone was so serious that Taozi had to turn around and go out, leading the way.

Bai Zhi, Mrs. Lin and others followed closely behind.

The old lady thought about it for a while and was worried, so she also got up and followed.

Tao Zi went straight back to the house, and said angrily: "Search, search, since it is so powerful, wouldn't it be easy to frame it?"

Bai Zhi pretended not to hear, and quickly figured out where the sulfur was hidden with her fingers.

"Miss, is there a small box under the bed in your bedroom?" Bai Zhi asked aloud.

Taozi couldn't help but be stunned and asked warily: "What do you want to do?"

Bai Zhi smiled slightly: "Can you take it out and take a look? The old lady is here too, nothing will happen."

Taozi's face darkened, and she protested with silence.

The old lady ordered in a deep voice: "Grandma Lin, go and take out the box."

Taozi stepped forward to stop him, but was held down by the old lady and two women.

Bai Zhi is very satisfied with the old lady's performance so far, and is very grateful for her cooperation.

Mrs. Lin took out the small box from under the bed and put her hands in front of the old lady.

But the old lady said quietly: "I'm too lazy to touch these things. Just open them and see what's inside."

Granny Lin did as she said, and the small box was opened, revealing some private things for women inside.

"The old lady didn't see that kind of powder." Mrs. Lin reported to the old lady.

Bai Zhi said first: "Open the Kwai Shui tape and take a look."

Women in this era don't have toilet paper, sanitary napkins and the like, so they can only use sunflower water belts with some plant ash in them.

Mrs. Lin looked at the old lady and asked hesitantly: "Is this possible?"

The old lady nodded and said: "It's nothing wrong, you open it."

Mrs. Lin then opened the sunflower water belt and found that there were plant ash inside and no sulfur.

Now it was Bai Zhi's turn to be surprised.

She clearly counted the sulfur in there, how could it not be there?

Since becoming an apprentice, Bai Zhi has never missed a hand, but today she did.

She suddenly realized that it was not that she had failed, but that she had encountered a master.

Someone must have sensed what she meant and changed the sulfur, and this person can exchange things across the air, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi suddenly became nervous.

But she remained calm on her face, as if she was not surprised at all, but secretly pinched her fingers.
