Chapter 285 Interrogating Bi'er
  Bi'er knew that Shen Zhuoxi was not an innocent soul who came back to claim his life.
  But his limp body did not get better, and his mouth was open, unable to say anything.
  "Speak." Shen Zhuoxi clamped Bi'er's chin and said, "The smell of pear blossoms in your body has not dissipated yet, and you didn't faint. It seems that you have taken the antidote. Let's take it seriously. Where did it come from? of."
  "Slave, I don't know what pear blossom smell you are talking about, and I don't know what the antidote is." Bi'er insisted.
  This time, she didn't dare to look into Shen Zhuoxi's eyes.
  She still hasn't realized how Shen Zhuoxi woke up.
  Not long after the pear blossoms were lit, people in the room fainted one after another. She saw it with her own eyes and went to check it out!
  If the medicine is not useless, there is only one possibility left - Shen Zhuoxi knew that she would place the pear blossom incense and avoided it for some unknown reason!
  But only she and the young master knew about this matter. How could Shen Zhuoxi know about it in advance?
  Is it really possible to predict the future?
  Bi'er thought of many hypotheses in her mind, but could not think of a definite reason.
  She only knew that Shen Zhuoxi was not buried in the fire, nor was the old lady. If she did not complete the young master's instructions, she would be completely finished!
  Seeing that she was silent, Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "Weren't you very good at accusing His Highness King Yu just now? Why do you mean to beat someone into submission, to disregard human lives, to be unjust and to kill innocent people indiscriminately? Isn't this the same thing?"
  "Why is it that when it's my turn to ask questions, I feel like I'm mute and can't say anything?"
  "This slave really doesn't know anything." Bi'er was still stern: "What did the second young lady mean?"
  "Come on, do you recognize this?" Shen Zhuoxi took the incense burner brought from Jing'an Garden from Hui Zhi's hand behind him and said, "We watched you light it with our own eyes."
  "You also placed it in the main house of Jing'an Garden with your own hands!"
  Bi'er didn't expect that Shen Zhuoxi would bring out the incense burner. He quickly looked at the incense burner and said, "I burn incense for the old lady every day. Is this wrong?"
  "You don't know if it's wrong?" Shen Zhuoxi casually placed the incense burner in front of the guard: "Come and smell it."
  The guard didn't know why, so he put his head in front of the incense burner and smelled it vigorously, and said, "It smells very sweet of pear blossoms."
  However, as soon as he finished speaking, the guard fell limply to the ground, unconscious.
  The incense burner was taken to the small courtyard at the back. After an hour, it had long been burned out, but the smell still lingered near the incense burner. The guard took a sudden breath, and naturally he could not withstand the power of the medicine.
  Everyone around was shocked. Shen Zhuoxi was clearly holding an incense burner in his hand. There were many people around. They were all fine, but the guard fainted!
  Is it really a scent?
  Bi'er's face also changed drastically, and she still wanted to quibble.
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't give her a chance: "Pear blossom incense is a unique incense of the Ying tribe. The entire Ying tribe lives next to the swamp. In order to deal with the poisonous miasma coming out of the swamp, pear blossom incense was made."
  "Several spices in the pear blossom fragrance are in conflict with the poisonous miasma. For the Ying people, this fragrance is just right and there will be no problem smelling it. But if you put it outside the Ying tribe, the pear flower fragrance will turn into an incense with extraordinary medicinal power!"
  The Ying people use the fragrance of pear blossoms day and night, and the fragrance on their bodies is almost as pickled as bone marrow, and the smell around them becomes a kind of intoxicating drug.
  Before they leave the Ying tribe, they must find a place to live alone for ten days, away from the fragrance of pear flowers.
  However, the fragrance they carry is not as powerful as the scent of pear flowers directly. People who smell their scent will feel confused and will not faint.
  The reason why Shen Zhuoxi knew this was because he received a patient from the Ying tribe when he was in the Valley of Divine Doctors. The patient's illness was sudden and strange, and he had no time to get rid of the smell.
  Several disciples from the Valley of Divine Doctors were tortured, and finally the man from the Ying tribe used the Ying tribe's pear blossom fragrance formula and its antidote to make a diagnosis.
  Hearing Shen Zhuoxi's explanation, Shen Heshan frowned and asked suspiciously: "Since the power of this pear blossom fragrance is so strong, why are you okay?"
  "Because I calculated it in advance." Shen Zhuoxi smiled slyly: "The old lady was feeling unwell in the afternoon. After I went to take a look, I accidentally discovered that the holly trees around the courtyard wall were all smeared with lard."
  "I thought it was strange at that time and asked Aunt Yuan to check it. It was not only on the holly tree, but also on the green plants on the other side."
  "In such a hot day, dryness can easily catch fire, and with the addition of burning grease, no one would think twice, so I asked Aunt Yuan to bring incense candles that can resolve all kinds of incense and light them in the house of Jing'an Garden to prevent just in case."
  "If I guess right, I can save my life at the critical moment. If I guess wrong, the incense candle can also calm my nerves. There is no harm in that."
  "Fortunately, Miss Second is on guard." Kong interrupted and said, "Otherwise, we will be burned to ashes along with Jing'an Garden!"
  "But how could the second lady guess that someone was going to set a fire through the lard?" Mrs. Zhang pretended not to know, and asked doubtfully: "Except for the person who set the fire, I'm afraid no one would have thought of this step."
  "After all, the insect-repellent grease was also applied to the guest house today. At that time, I only felt it smelled a bit unpleasant, and it was not related to the fire at all."
  "What the second aunt said does make some sense. I also noticed it." Mrs. Kong thought for a while and said: "At noon, the oil does have some smell from the sun. I also told Zaishan, why is it so late at noon? Do this."
  "I also listened." Shen Qingqing interrupted and said: "After mother said that, I went out to take a look. In our place, we don't like to use this method. Lard is not cheap."
  Shen Wanwan also said: "Qingqing told me that after the smell of noon passed, her head felt stuffy."
  "Do you suspect Second Miss?" Huizhi interrupted coldly and said, "I'm afraid this suspicion is too much. If it weren't for Second Miss, no one in Jing'an Garden would be able to escape!"
  "We didn't say that." Ms. Zhang paused and said, "I just think it's strange. Don't let anyone raise any doubts?"
  "You have to have a degree of suspicion." Jing Muling approached slowly and said, "Don't interrupt when Zhuo Xi is talking, otherwise I may suspect that you are the real culprits of arson!"
  Although Jing Muling's words were overbearing, they were effective.
  Although both Zhang and Kong still wanted to argue, they did not dare to say more.
  Seeing this, Jing Muling said to Shen Zhuoxi, "Keep talking."
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded and turned to Bi'er: "At this point, why don't you tell the truth?"
  "Slave...slave..." Bi'er hesitated, not knowing what to say.
  Shen Zhuoxi reminded: "The Ying tribe is thousands of miles away from here, and the Ying tribe is also a closed ethnic group that has no contact with outsiders. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I won't mind going to a lot of trouble to force you to admit it!"
  "If you don't say anything, you can continue the execution." Zhengqing said at the right moment.
  Bi'er didn't dare to say anything anymore, and looked at Shen Zehuan, hoping that Shen Zehuan could help her to intercede.
  But Shen Zehuan's head was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't protect himself. He couldn't care about her, and he didn't dare to look at her at all.
  "What do you think the young master is doing?" Huizhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did the young master ask you to do it?"
