The streets of East Martial Street were bustling with noise and excitement.

After a few minutes, Zhong Ziyu who was dressed in green walked into a medicine shop at the end of the street.

The waiter nodded, bent down and took out a small, oily paper packet at the bottom of the cabinet, and handed it to the counter. "One packet of fifty cents."

The waiter looked a little embarrassed as he explained, "This, this is my fault. Young master, you don't know, this rat poison is not only poisonous, but it also fears eating by mistake, so the medicine store usually sells this kind of medicine at a certain rate. One person can only buy two packets of it at most."

Zhong Ziyu frowned: "One packet of 10 gold, give me 20 bags."

The waiter was troubled. "This... "This is really no good. We need to keep an account book for all the items sold here. This account book will be submitted to the yamen for examination every quarter, so we don't dare to mess around."

Zhong Ziyu did not want to continue with this, so she turned to look at the shopkeeper on the other side.

The shopkeeper had been paying attention to this side as well, so when he saw the customer looking at him, he walked over and looked at the waiter.

The waiter quietly explained the situation to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was troubled as well, "Young master, you might not know this, but as for arsenic, weed-cutting, rat medicine and other harmful things like that, the yamen has a number of them. Not only is it our medicine store, it is also the same for the entire Western Entering County, not only the Western Entering County, even the entire Kingdom of Xian Yan. How could he use twenty packs of rat poison? "Second, this bag is enough for you. Even for the big families like our county's Sun family, each family only has two bags. How about this, I'll give you two bags. If you don't kill them when you get back, you can come back tomorrow."

Zhong Ziyu's face did not look good, "It's just a few coins, where did all these rules come from?"

The shopkeeper laughed dryly. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'll give you two bags? "

The moment the shopkeeper finished speaking, the waiter quickly took out another packet.

The shopkeeper carefully wrapped the bag that had been scattered, and then took the other bag as well. He handed it to the customer and said, "It's ten taels of gold."

Zhong Ziyu took the two bags of medicine without even raising her eyes. While she was taking out the silver, she said unhappily: "There are not even that many rules in the capital, you guys should take care of it here."

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that the guest was from the capital, he immediately laughed, "So he's the young master from Beijing, then no wonder. Since the capital is under the watch of the emperor, then of course anything can be said.

Zhong Ziyu paid his ten cents, "If it's not enough, I will come back tomorrow to buy more. Do you still want to sell me that?"

The shopkeeper laughed and did not agree. He said, "Take care, take care."

Zhong Ziyu immediately understood after seeing it, and asked unhappily: "Your street, only has this medicine store?"

The shopkeeper immediately replied and said in a bagging tone, "There's an alley in the middle of the street with a clinic selling medicinal herbs. There are also rat poison there."

Zhong Ziyu did not speak further, she turned and walked out of the medicine store.

At a corner outside the medicine store, Liu Wei was leaning against the wall and waiting.

After Zhong Ziyu went over, she gave the two bags of rat medicine to her and shook his head.

Liu Wei held onto two bags of medicine and raised her eyebrows. "You aren't willing to sell?"

Zhong Ziyu nodded: "It's all the same, I'll sell it for at most two bags."

Liu Wei opened the medicine bag and assessed the quantity before frowning: "If it's enough, such a small bag needs at least three hundred bags."

Zhong Ziyu also leaned against the wall at the side and calculated: "In the entire Western District, there are a total of twelve medicine stores and infirmary, even if you buy two bags from each house, it would only make a total of twenty-four bags. If you want to buy enough for three hundred bags, you would need at least twelve people."

"At the same time, the distribution of these twelve medicine stores is too mixed. It would be a little difficult to complete all of them within a day."

"Furthermore, every shop receives 12 people who buy rat poison on the same day. Such a big target, wouldn't it make people suspicious?"

"Three hundred yuan is the amount of money needed to kill one person. Two people would need at least six hundred yuan."

The two of them sang, and after talking for half a day, they came up with an obvious common answer — this was not the way to obtain medicine.

"If that's not the case, then what? It was brought by the Wan family from the Ting Jiang Prefecture? " Zhong Ziyu guessed.

Liu Wei shook his head: "Wan Shi's hatred towards the Jiang Clan, is because she discovered that the Jiang Clan and Sun Tong were involved, and only after she and Sun Tong received the news of Sun Yat-sen's death, did they return to Western Jin Prefecture to find out about this discovery. This also means that it is impossible for her to plan the future actions in Jiangting Pavilion, and that she had made the decision on the spur of the moment, so whether it is Zhang Ma Zi or the old mouse medicine, they were all prepared in Western Jin County."

Zhong Ziyu began to calculate once again: "Two days after the Wan family came to Western Jin County, Sun Tong died, and then two days later, Sun Jun died. The time was so close, how did she manage to arrange everything in two days? Just buying time is not enough. Most importantly, the rat poison that killed Zhang Pi Zi was very special. Just a tiny bit was enough to kill you. "

"The black doctor." This was the only possibility that Liu Wei could think of.

Zhong Ziyu agreed with him, but felt that it was a little ethereal. "Naturally, the black doctor has the money to buy anything, but where is the black doctor? Since you're a black doctor, you don't have to hang up your signboard. If you don't, how are we supposed to find you? "

Liu Wei pondered for a moment, then looked at the medicine shop opposite him, and then looked at Zhong Ziyu.

Zhong Ziyu's expression changed: "It's me again? I've just been there, so it would be suspicious if I were to go again. "

Liu Wei clicked his tongue, "You're the young master that came from the capital, so what if you're suspicious? What more do they dare to do to you?"

With a face full of unwillingness, Zhong Ziyu replied, "Then no matter what I say, I can't just ask the Black Doctor about it."

Liu Wei patted his shoulder. "Bring out your wisdom, didn't you say those flowery words you used to use to kidnap women from virtuous families?"

Zhong Ziyu frowned: "I don't know how to use flowery words."

Liu Wei scoffed, "Oh, then when I killed people in the past, I hooked my finger, and they left with you?"

Zhong Ziyu said with a serious face, "Yes."

Liu Wei: "..."

Zhong Ziyu raised his chin, a look of ridicule appearing in her eyes. At the same time, he stood in front of Liu Wei, pressed one hand against the wall behind her, and said with a low voice while holding her in her arms: "You heard it earlier, I said that I was very picky. I'm not someone who can take a fancy to anyone's skin, and I don't kill everyone.

Liu Wei lifted his eyelids, and stared intently at his face: "Where's the big girl's sister?"

Zhong Ziyu paused, as if she had recalled something. A moment later she said, "She isn't a good person either."
