Your Majesty is short of money again

Chapter 378 Not a Dry Well
"Is that person dead?" Qi Jingchen asked.

"When we went to the dry well, the man was not dead yet, but when we approached, he was already dead." Recalling the scene at that time, even Ye Xun, who was used to seeing various scenes, couldn't help but shudder .

"Tell me in detail." Hearing this, Qi Jingchen frowned slightly and said.

"If it wasn't for Han Yi's keen sense of smell, we wouldn't have been able to spot that person in the dry well..."

When Ye Xun said so, Huang Yuechen interrupted Ye Xun and asked: "You said that you discovered the corpse because of Han Yi's keen sense of smell, Han Yi, the smell you smell, could it be a corpse? Does it smell rotten?"

According to what Ye Xun said just now, when they went to the dry well, the person in the dry well hadn't died yet, so naturally, there shouldn't be any smell of rotting corpses.

Han Yi nodded: "It smells like a herb, or in other words, it's the smell of a mixture of various herbs, but my subordinates can only recognize one of them."

"What?" Huang Yuechen straightened her body and asked.

"Lan Qicao." Han Yi said after a pause.

Han Yi's medical skills are far inferior to Huang Yuechen's, but she has followed Huang Yuechen for the past few years, plus she is naturally extremely sensitive to smells, so she can still recognize the smell of most herbs.

Huang Yuechen's expression changed upon hearing this.

"What's so special about this herbal medicine?" Qi Jingchen asked doubtfully.

"Lanqicao is a kind of poisonous herb that is not uncommon, but because the conditions for preparation are very harsh, almost no one will use this herb. As far as I know, only one poisonous herb uses Lanqicao. "Huang Yuechen said with a serious expression.

There is no need to ask what kind of poison it is, Qi Jingchen can roughly guess it, the poison that can make Huang Yuechen's face change, the poisonous herb must not be an ordinary poison.

"Where did you find the dry well?" Qi Jingchen asked.

Even if there are no other envoys staying in the posthouse on weekdays, someone will always take care of it. Dry wells should not appear in the posthouse.

Ye Xun hesitated.

"Just talk."

"In the courtyard where Qin Fengguo lives." Ye Xun reported the location of the dry well.

"Is there something wrong with this dry well?" Huang Yuechen asked.

Huang Yuechen didn't think that Ye Xun's hesitation was just because the dry well appeared in the courtyard where Qin Fengguo lived. After all, a person who can use such poison is fully capable of feeding people with poison. He accidentally threw it into Qin Fengguo's courtyard.

Facing Huang Yuechen's guess, Ye Xun was slightly surprised, nodded, and said: "As the princess said, that dry well was still filled with water when my subordinates went to the posthouse a few days ago. Well water is not a dry well.”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions also changed.

How can a well be turned into a dry well in just a few days?

"The dead man, did you find any problems?"

Before Qi Jingchen raised the question, Huang Yuechen said, "If I guessed correctly, the person's body has been corroded quickly as soon as he died."

Following Huang Yuechen's voice, Ye Xun and Han Yi nodded at the same time.

Qi Jingchen rubbed the center of his brows, and then asked: "Apart from that, did you find anything wrong?"

Both Ye Xun and Han Yi lowered their heads, and shook their heads together.

　Everyone, don’t forget the recommendation ticket in your hand (*￣3￣)╭
