Medical Brocade

Chapter 202 Premeditated
Hearing this, Uncle Bian sighed slightly, his face suddenly showed a sad look, his originally tired expression was even older now.

"Uncle Bian, sit down and talk." Seeing Uncle Bian's fatigue, Qu Ruowen sat down and invited Uncle Bian to sit down as well. The two of them sat on the steps, and there was a young boy holding a lantern beside him.

"This matter has to start with the young master. The young master has always been meticulous in his work. I don't know what happened this time. Someone framed him." When Uncle Bian mentioned this matter, he almost beat his chest.

"Framed? How? Do you know who framed him?" If he came to the Wei family so blatantly, if he was not powerful, then the person behind him was powerful.

"Two months ago, a man named Fan Lian came to the grain store. His family was also a businessman. He bought a large amount of rice and went home. During the time before the goods were delivered, the young master and Fan Lian hit it off and talked very happily. Introduce him as a confidant. I thought it was nothing at first, but after Fan Lian went back, about a month later, Fan Lian went to the capital to play again. The young master took him around and even took him home to live in. During this period, a batch of grain happened to be shipped to the three prefectures of Wanzhou, Quanzhou, and Yangzhou. There was no problem with the grain, but after arriving in the three prefectures, the people ate it and developed dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Finally, several people died. They are still dead. Although the master and the young master have invited a doctor to go there, many people died later. The doctor said that they were poisoned, but so far no poison has been found. Since many people died, this matter quickly spread The government found out, and the government sent people to investigate the matter, and found that there was poison in the batch of rice grains that caused death, but they couldn't find out what it was. This matter has not been stopped, and it has involved three state capitals at once, which is not a small matter , The palace also sent people to investigate, even the imperial physician came, but they couldn't find Fan Lian, and they couldn't find any poison, so they arrested the master."

After listening to Uncle Bian's narration, Qu Ruowen understood the whole story in his heart, but Uncle Bian seemed a bit arbitrary: "Uncle Bian thinks this is Fan Lian's poison?"

"Who else could it be but him? On the second day after the accident, Fan Lian disappeared. According to the servants in the mansion, he saw Fan Lian haunting the granary one night, but because he was a friend of the young master, he thought If you went the wrong way, how could you think that you were leading a wolf into the house! Now that Fan Lian is missing, the master can only go with the people in the yamen, and the young master is helpless now."

Since it was sent to three state capitals, it was not easy to prescribe such a large amount of rice grains. The Wei family's rice grains were all bag by bag, how could Fan Lian do it alone?You can't rely on one person's strength to open a bag and put the poison once. Even so, it will take several nights. It is impossible to succeed every night!

It seems that the key to this matter is still with Fan Lian, and there is hope to find Fan Lian to solve it, but if Fan Lian does it on purpose, it is naturally impossible for anyone to find him. This time, the Wei family is in danger.

"Uncle Bian, didn't you say before that Fan Lian bought a batch of rice grains and went home? Didn't anyone from the grain shop accompany Fan Lian to his house?" Well, of course someone will be sent to transport it, and when they arrive at the place, they will always know where the Fan family is.

"Yes, but the person who was sent to look for it came back and said that the Fan family had just moved here not long ago and left immediately. They are not from the local area."

In this way, it was premeditated early on, and this time things were very difficult.

"Then let the government draw a portrait to arrest Fan Lian?" Although this method may not be effective, there must be a brave man with a lot of money, and the Wei family does not lack such a small amount of money to find someone, and someone will always provide clues.

"Not yet. After the accident, everyone didn't expect it to be Fan Lian. Later, when they found something unusual, they went to his house to look for it. After failing to find it, they discussed finding an artist to draw a portrait first."

The best time has already been delayed, and he doesn't know where Fan Lian fled to, but this has to be done first.

"You don't need to find other painters for this matter, just go to Mo Yan directly. He is good at painting. After learning about the Wei family, he must really want to help. He has a group of friends. If he is asked to do this, he probably won't It's very difficult, and it will get twice the result with half the effort." Qu Ruowen suggested.

If the scriptures were mentioned, Uncle Bian suddenly realized: "How could I have forgotten Master Biao?"

"Uncle Bian, you go to this matter right away. I'll ask a few more questions. Are the people who died of rice grains in the three state capitals still in the three state capitals, or have they been sent to the yamen in the capital?" Fan Lian said If the road doesn't work, you can only start from the dead. From them, you may be able to find clues. After all, unknown poisons are not everywhere.

"The people who died this time, the three state capitals combined, no less than 30 people, and not all of them were sent here. The governors of the three state capitals united to ask the palace to report this matter, and the palace sent people to the three state capitals. After investigating the case and finding out the problem of rice grain, the people in the palace took one person back from each state capital.” Uncle Bian’s furrowed brows, which he thought hadn’t been relaxed since the meeting, “There are a large number of people who are still being treated. If there is a way, they will die, and at that time, there will be hundreds of people, and the more people die, the more trouble this time will be."

Uncle Bian's concerns are correct, the most urgent task is naturally to reduce the death toll.

"What about the injured, have they been sent to the capital for treatment, or are they still in the three state capitals?"

"There are a lot of people, and they are still in the three state capitals." Uncle Bian replied, "There are shopkeepers from the grain shops in the three state capitals watching over there. Whenever there is any news, they will always report here."

Qu Ruowen had an idea and asked Hong Shun to find a way to leave the city as soon as Hong Shun came.

"Then what about you, do you have any further countermeasures?"

"As soon as the master entered the prison, the mansion was in chaos. The eldest lady ate fast and recited Buddha all day long, regardless of the affairs of the mansion. Although the second wife took care of the daily affairs of the mansion, she couldn't help in business. The young master was shocked by this shock. I'm so scared that I'm at a loss, I'm looking forward to the second young master coming back to host."

Uncle Bian is a good judge of people, Wei Lige is away all year round, doing nothing, but he is full of expectations for Wei Lige, as if Wei Lige can save this disaster.

"What about the third lady?" Qu Ruowen heard that Wei Lige was born of a concubine, so it must not be born of the eldest lady, but it seems that he was not born of the current second lady, then only the third lady.

"Didn't the Second Young Master tell you that the Third Madam has passed away for many years, the Second Young Madam must never mention the Third Madam in the mansion, the Third Madam is a taboo in the mansion." Uncle Bian advised in a low voice.

"Why?" Qu Ruo asked puzzled, the second wife of the Wei family was a brothel girl, everyone would listen to it, Wei Lige's mother, no matter how humble her status was, it wouldn't be taboo.
