The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 28 Danshu fish belly, coffin shop
It was night, with a slight breeze, and under the cover of the night, Feng Xihe quietly came outside Feng Laogong's house, punctured the window paper, put a thin bamboo tube, and blew the drug into the house.

After confirming that no one was awake, she tiptoed in and checked the room.

However, there was no other medicine mixed in the medicine dregs of Mr. Feng, and all the items were checked by her, and there was no trace of poison.There are no abnormalities in the several kinds of flowers and plants placed.

It's strange why that little wind chill dragged on for so many years.Feng Xihe hesitated, she didn't think that according to Yun Changyi's behavior, such a good opportunity for the old Duke's illness would be missed.

But the time for being drugged is limited, and it won't be long before those servants wake up, Feng Xihe thought about it, and went back to himself first.

However, when she came back, a hidden arrow mixed with a note and the night's wind was suddenly nailed to the red pillar of the corridor.

"Miss, I'll come." Yuanying was afraid that there was some kind of poison on the arrowhead, so he went to pull it out first.

Feng Xihe opened the crumpled note, only to find the line of words on it extremely glaring.

"Feng Junyi died at the hands of Prince Yu, and his body is in the coffin shop in the south of the city. See you tomorrow night at Xu. Otherwise, there will be no bones left."

As if being emptied all of a sudden, Feng Xihe collapsed on the red pillar next to her. Fortunately, Yuan Ying, who was hidden in the dark, went to support her, so she didn't fall down.

"Yu Wangye... killed the young master, how is this possible?" Yuanying was a little surprised.

"What's impossible?" Feng Xihe could barely stand up, his voice was like a thread, "I'm too stupid to think that a person like him would let Jun Yi go!"

Yuanying didn't know what to say, but who would the letter be.After thinking for a while, I could only say: "Let the servants go there instead of the young lady tomorrow night, and the servants will definitely retrieve the young master's body."

Feng Xihe gathered the cloak, waved his hands and said, "No, I'll go by myself. The person the other party wants to deal with is me. Since he can send the news to the Duke's Mansion, he must recognize me. If it is changed, Jun Yi may not even be able to see me." The whole body can't be saved."

"Help me prepare the carriage. Don't tell anyone about my going out tomorrow night."

After explaining, Feng Xihe went back to the house and closed the door to rest. Naturally, this night was full of suffering.

Yuanying watched the candles in the house being extinguished, pondered a lot at the door, and finally turned over and jumped out of the wall.

Feng Xihe woke up early the next morning and asked Yuanying to go to the streets to summon the local gangsters in Jinling, and then went to Yuwang Mansion to investigate the situation and see if the contents of the letter last night were true.

In the city, the most well-informed were the beggars and hooligans. They knocked on their bowls and chopsticks in twos and threes, circling for a long time at the gate of King Yu's Mansion and the coffin shop in the south of the city, and finally got the exact news.

After Yuanying came back, she told Feng Xihe the whole story, and it was true that Feng Junyi had died in the hands of Lord Yu, as said in the letter of unknown origin.

The door of Lanyue Pavilion was not closed, and it was creaked by the wind, Feng Xihe trembled, his footsteps were flimsy, and he staggered and sat down.

"Jun Yi, how did he die?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was trembling hoarsely.

Seeing her devastated appearance, Yuanying struggled for a while before saying truthfully: "It is said that Lord Yu asked him to write seven quatrains within a stick of incense, but the young master was stubborn and unwilling. Given the punishment of flogging, the young master had no choice but to finish seven quatrains before hitting the pillar and dying."

"It's like the temperament of Feng's family." Feng Xihe gave a wry smile, then pulled himself up and prepared to go to the coffin shop in the south of the city, "As a sister, I didn't protect him well before I was alive, so I have to get his whole body after death , buried in the Feng family's ancestral grave."

After finishing speaking, she got up to tidy up and stayed quietly in the room for a whole day. At the appointed time in the evening, she quietly came to the carriage parked at the back door of the Duke's Mansion.

Watching the carriage kick up the dust and go away, the two shadows, who had been peeping in the dark for a long time, ran to Yun Changyi, how Feng Xihe sent someone to confirm the news, and how heartbroken they went to the coffin in the south of the city. The store has been explained again.

"It's almost time for dinner." Yun Changyi smiled slightly after hearing this, and held Xiaomei Yun's hand affectionately, "Little sister, the old lady invited us to have dinner today."

If Feng Xihe went to the appointment rashly based on a letter from an unknown source, she would still suspect that it was fake, but if Feng Xihe did not hesitate to let the local ruffians in Jinling also go to spy on the news, then maybe she believed it for real.

It's a pity... Yun Changyi sneered in his heart, how could the news of Lord Yu be so easy to inquire about, everything was just rumors she let out.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Feng Xi and her people will follow along the way.

When it was time for dinner, she and Miss Yun sat beside Mrs. Feng, and Miss Yun served Mrs. Feng herself.

At first, Mrs. Feng was always reluctant to eat at the same table with Yun Changyi again, but she liked Miss Yun, and she couldn't even invite Miss Yun if she wanted to. With a grudge in my heart, I planned to finish the meal lively.

"Old lady, this is Xishi playing with the moon." Xiaomei Yun was much warmer than when she first came to the Duke's mansion, and she took a chopstick of mixed white fish and winter bamboo shoots into Madam Feng's bowl.

Mrs. Feng's appetite was not very good, but she still ate it with a smile. She felt refreshing and delicious, smooth but not greasy. Inadvertently, the frost between her eyebrows gradually dissipated, and she liked this little girl Yun more and more.

"Where's Xihe?" After a while, Mrs. Feng remembered that she also invited Feng Xihe to have dinner with her today.

Yun Changyi suddenly withdrew his smile, but his voice was still gentle, "Just now, the big maid from Lanyue Pavilion came, and said that Xihe was not feeling well, so she couldn't come."

"Then you can see the government doctor?" Mrs. Feng wondered, she was fine yesterday, why did she fall ill today.However, seeing Yun Changyi's hesitant attitude, she speculated that perhaps Feng Xi and Yun Changyi's relationship was at a standstill, and there was a place where Yun Changyi was, so she was afraid that she didn't want to come, so she made excuses.

As Old Madam Feng thought about it, she didn't go any further, "Forget it, I'll go see that girl later."

Immediately, she picked up the chopsticks again and continued to eat.

"This is Cordyceps Fuli Duck."

"This is Yancao Rubisi."

The few dishes Yun Xiaomei made for Mrs. Feng won Mrs. Feng's heart, and the meal was enjoyable.

"Hey, isn't this puffer fish? How can it be served on the table." At this moment, as if by accident, Yun Xiaomei saw a plate of steamed puffer fish in the middle of the table.

Several people at the same table gasped as they all looked at me and I looked at you.Fugu is highly poisonous. If it can be cooked well, it will be a delicacy in the world. If it is not cooked properly and the poison is not cleaned, it will bring its head to the king of Hades.

"Who is so bold that he bought the puffer fish without asking the kitchen." Yun Changyi looked annoyed, and immediately called the mother-in-law who was in charge of purchasing the ingredients to ask.

Mrs. Feng pursed her lips and said nothing. The Duke's Mansion purchased ingredients from a few designated shops. Logically speaking, it would be unreasonable if they wanted to poison the people in the Duke's Mansion, because it would be too easy to find out.Who is it that has this thought?
As soon as the woman came in, she prostrated herself on the ground and shouted, "Master, old lady, the Zhang family delivered the ingredients today. When the old servant checked, he didn't see the puffer fish. Later, before the Zhang family's buddy left, he took The puffer fish was left behind, saying it was a gift from a monk."

"The old lady used to eat vegetarian food and recite the Buddha's name. The old servant thought that the monk had a good relationship with the old lady, so he left the puffer fish first. But as soon as it was put aside, he was too busy to forget about it. Not long ago, I learned that the puffer fish was killed by the cook. It’s ready, and it’s on the table.”

"Old lady, you have to trust this old slave. This old slave has been working in the Duke's Mansion for so many years, and I absolutely have no other thoughts."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Feng's anger also calmed down a little, and it was just a misunderstanding, and it was fine to take the cook and the old lady who did something wrong.

"Old lady, in fact, my younger sister thinks that the cooks in the mansion are quite skilled in cooking. Maybe they can detoxify pufferfish and make it delicious. Why don't you let my younger sister try it first." Yun Xiaomei said slowly, and then, She took some fish meat from the back of the fish with her chopsticks, "Furthermore, since this is a gift from a monk, it may be that the monk fell in love with the old lady, so he kindly sent it here."

Mrs. Feng has always believed in Buddhism, and she is also very devout to monks and the like, but the belly of the puffer fish has not been cut open, and there is no scratch on the back of the fish. She is worried that the poison of the puffer fish has not been cleaned, and the look in the eyes of the puffer fish is not clear. deeper.

"Oh, what is that?" After Xiaomei Yun picked up a piece, Yun Changyi smiled and picked it up with her chopsticks, but when she went down with her chopsticks and picked up the fish, she saw that there seemed to be a piece of cloth in the belly of the fish. Emerging through the fishbone, he withdrew his hand in surprise.

Xiaomei Yun quickly put back the fish that was about to be put into her mouth, and then carefully picked out the cloth in the belly of the fish with chopsticks and spread it out for a closer look.

Inexplicably, a puffer fish entered the mansion, and there was a piece of cloth hidden in the puffer fish. Curious people all came to see it.

I saw scrawled words written in cinnabar on it, "September [-]th, calamity star appears, human skin curse, mother dies, grandfather is ill, elder brother passes away, younger brother suddenly."

September [-]th is Feng Xihe's birthday, and the things written on it can almost correspond to the events that happened in the Duke's Mansion. Feng Xihe's mother passed away when she was six years old just after giving birth to Feng Junyi Well, Feng Junyao was left in anger by her, and although Feng Junyi was in Prince Yu's Mansion, it would be more unfortunate if he fell into Gu Shiyin's hands.

The few people present were looking at their noses and their hearts, and they all discussed in low voices. Miss Yun's complexion was slightly dark, and she said in surprise: "Isn't this the handwriting of Miao Monk? It turns out that Miao Monk has also come to Jinling recently."

"The human skin curse can be regarded as a very vicious curse. Go to the coffin shop and take off the skin of the person who died of hatred, ask an expert to cast a spell, put it in the coffin for seven days, and then hang it in the room. transfer the blessings of others in the family to yourself."

She just explained, but the maidservants at the side seemed to understand something, and said quietly: "No wonder the eldest lady seems to be very lucky recently, and she was able to make a blockbuster at the book exhibition, and even His Majesty appreciated her."

"Amitabha." Mrs. Feng closed her eyes and turned the beads, read a few scriptures, and asked Miss Yun, "Little sister, do you recognize this is Miao Monk's handwriting."

Xiaomei Yun nodded affirmatively, then took out a haiku written by a wonderful monk in the early years from her sleeve, and showed Mrs. Feng. This haiku was also seen in other temples by the old lady. After careful comparison, I have to believe that it was written by Miao Seng himself.

Thinking of the woman in the kitchen who said that the fish was given by a monk, her heart trembled. Is this all God's will?
