"This is... Hualiu disease?!"
After all, Huo Huaixin has been in the officialdom for many years, so he is naturally well-informed. Although most of these diseases come from low-class prostitutes such as Huajie and Liuxiang, he has seen his subordinates contract this disease with his own eyes, and he was quite shocked at the moment.
Qin Wan's tightly clenched fists slowly loosened, and it took him a long time to find his own voice, "Yes, it's the willow disease."
Xu He on the side let out a sigh of relief, "I also deduce that it is this disease, but after thinking about it, Mrs. Liu is the aunt of the Hou family after all, so she shouldn't have this disease..."
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, his complexion was unusually dark.
Seeing that Qin Wan didn't answer, Xu He suspected that he had said something wrong, so he said, "Ahem, I don't mean that, it's just this kind of disease... Maybe she got it herself..."
Qin Wan suddenly stepped forward and carefully looked at the herpes on Liu's body. Huo Huaixin also stepped forward and said, "Miss Nine, you are a doctor and you know the most about these diseases. How about it?"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips pursed slightly, "Looking at the situation, the illness has been going on for at least one and a half months."
Huo Huaixin blinked, "Is this related to her death?"
Qin Wan was still holding the white handkerchief, she glanced at the handkerchief, and then looked at Liu Shi with a serious expression, "Maybe there is, maybe... the old lady's suspicion is right, her illness After all, it's weird."
Yan Chi said from the side, "Master Qin is also sick, what kind of illness is it?"
Qin Wan's eyebrows twitched, and Huo Huaixin frowned and said, "Could it be... but I heard the eldest son say this morning that Mr. Qin's illness was only about ten days old, but Mrs. Liu's illness has been going on for a long time. "
Huo Huaixin looked at Qin Wan again, and Qin Wan said, "The onset of this disease also depends on the individual's physique. It is best for the magistrate to ask about this point. After asking clearly, right now, this square handkerchief is the key .”
Qin Wan handed the handkerchief to Huo Huaixin, Huo Huaixin nodded, "Exactly."
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes and said, "This handkerchief belongs to a man. It seems that apart from Mr. Qin, there is indeed someone in this mansion who is closely related to her, and her illness may also come from that man. .”
Having said that, the water in the Qin Mansion is muddy and deep. Huo Huaixin shook his head and sighed, "It seems that there are still many people who will ask the old lady and the second son later."
Yan Chi looked at Xu He again, "Did you find anything else after the autopsy?"
Xu He shook his head, "Not yet, I just found out that she has this disease." After a slight pause, Xu He continued, "She has this disease, and it doesn't look like she can have any troubles with others. , She went out last night, probably thinking about meeting someone."
Indeed, Liu's body was covered with herpes and ulcers, not to mention that she was doing something stupid, even looking at it like this made people feel intimidated, Qin Wan snorted, and suddenly turned around and walked outside.
There was a smell of medicine in the outside room, Qin Wan glanced a few times and found a medicine bowl under the table by the window.
Qin Wan stepped forward without hesitation, picked up the medicine bowl with residue and smelled it, then went out and walked to the side room. There is no small kitchen in the Liu family's yard, but things like cooking medicine are not. It was to be resolved in his own courtyard. Qin Wan pushed open the door of the side room and entered, and saw the stove and medicine bags for boiling medicine at a glance.
Qin Wan's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to open the medicine bag.
"What is this medicine for?"
Turning around, Qin Wan saw Yan Chi standing at the door, Qin Wan said, "On the surface, it looks like it can cure lochia, but in fact, the medicines in it can be used to cure her disease."
Qin Wan suddenly remembered the scene of going to the medicine storehouse to get medicine that day. Xiuqin went to get medicine for Liu Shi, and this prescription was like Qin Wan's. It was divided into two medicines, and Liu's added certain medicines to the same medicine. However, in comparison, Liu's prescriptions were also for curing diseases of flowers and willows, but they did not have Qin Wan's. The prescription is very effective, but where did the Liu family get the prescription
During the Great Zhou Dynasty, medical prescriptions were very precious things, and the prescriptions for curing diseases of flowers and willows were even more rare. Liu's family didn't go out of the gate without going out, who found this prescription for her? It can't be Qian Bairen!
"Did she find it by herself, or did someone else find the prescription for her?"
What Yan Chi asked was exactly what Qin Wan was thinking, and Qin Wan put down the medicine bag, "I'm going to ask Xiuqin who took medicine for her and Qian Bairen, the doctor in the mansion, but when Xiuqin took medicine last time, I have seen it before, and I speculate that Qian Bairen probably didn't know about it, and he probably didn't see that there was a mystery in Liu's prescription. In addition, this matter is not small, Qian Bairen probably doesn't have the guts to hide it for Liu's, Perhaps, this prescription was given by the person she saw last night."
Yan Chi nodded, the aunt in the mansion got the flower willow disease, such a thing not only insulted the family style of the Qin mansion, but if it was infected by Qin An, it would be even more inappropriate, but who would dare to help the Liu family hide it among the servants of the Qin mansion? Even Liu himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to let others who don't trust him know...
"I see, I will check these points."
Seeing Yan Chi's answer in this way, Qin Wan's eyes flashed with darkness. If Mrs. Liu really had any affair with other men in the mansion, based on the fact that Mrs. Liu has been suffering from the disease for more than a month, then this person is probably also suffering from the disease. It's okay if Qin Wan doesn't know, but she knows that Qin Li has this disease!
Qin Wan hesitated for a while, was there any relationship between the Liu family and Qin Li, and should she tell Yan Chi about it
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
Qin Wan raised his eyes, and immediately met Shang Yanchi with insightful eyes.
Yan Chi's eyes were deep and deep, but there was a bright star in his glistening pupils, like the moon in the deep sea, the clear light bursting out from the abyss, Qin Wan pursed his lips, shook his head, "No more, the only key clue of Hualiu disease can be seen on the corpse, and the others have to be investigated."
Yan Chi looked at her deeply for another moment, then turned and walked towards the main room. He didn't know what to order Huo Huaixin. Huo Huaixin left Liu's courtyard with two servants. Qin Wan stood where he was, and Yan Chi left immediately. Come over and say, "Do you want to go back to your own yard? You have been back to the mansion for a long time, but you haven't gone back yet."
Qin Wan said, "Your Highness, don't I need to answer questions?"
Yan Chi looked her up and down for a moment, "I see you are quite worried, let's go back and rest first."
Qin Wan glanced at the direction of the dormitory, nodded and walked two steps, then suddenly said, "I'm in Tinglanyuan, if His Royal Highness needs me to answer questions, just ask someone to come and find me."
Yan Chi nodded, and gave a faint "hmm", and then Qin Wan walked out.
Yan Chi stood in place watching Qin Wan leave. As soon as Qin Wan left, Bai Feng walked up behind Yan Chi and said in a low voice, "Since Your Highness has come to the Qin residence, do you want to see Bai Ying?"
Yan Chi raised his jaw, and as far as his eyes could see, Qin Wan's figure flashed past the gate of the courtyard.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Chi finally shook his head, "No need, the Qin House is in chaos, let her do her own thing well."
Bai Feng was busy behind him, not daring to mention it again.
The weather in early September was already very cool. Qin Wan came out of Liu's yard and looked up at the sky. The dark yellow stratus clouds piled up in the distant sky, infecting the entire sky with desolation and chilling. He took a deep breath. , Qin Wan felt boundless anger in his heart, if Liu's disease had nothing to do with Qin An, then where did her disease come from
It's fine if she doesn't know, but right now she knows another person in the Qin family who suffers from the willow disease. It would be strange if she didn't doubt it. Qin Wan frowned. Qin Li's temperament is unruly. It is not impossible, besides, he has warned her many times before not to go to the Zizhu Forest, and not to go to the well, obviously he knows the secrets in the Zizhu Forest, is it possible that the secret of the Zizhu Forest has something to do with him and the Liu family
Thinking of this, Qin Wan clenched her fists. Miss Nine was killed in the Zizhu Forest. Her previous speculation was that she was drawn into the Zizhu Forest by something, and then she saw something she shouldn't have seen. Before the murder, Qin Wan had no idea, and vaguely felt that there were many strange things in Qin's mansion, but if he really wanted to say where the strange things were, he couldn't tell. However, Mrs. Liu died, and Mrs. Liu also suffered from mottled disease It just so happens that the other person suffering from Hualiu disease is the second son of the mansion. The second son of the Qin family committed adultery with his aunt. Could this be the reason why Miss Jiu was killed
Qin Wan walked towards Tinglan Garden while thinking, and arrived in front of Tinglan Garden not long after, the courtyard door opened, but there was no one inside, Fu Ling followed up and said, "I'm afraid they will also be called for questioning..."
Qin Wan was thinking about something in her heart, and nodded immediately, "It's okay, I'll be back when I ask clearly."
Qin Wan entered the room with deep thoughts. Seeing her expression, Fu Ling did not dare to disturb her. She even poured the tea carefully, and handed the tea cup to Qin Wan's hand. Fu Ling finally couldn't help saying, "Miss, eight How could Auntie be killed when she was so good? Is there really such a vicious person in the Qin Mansion?"
Qin Wan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Once there is an interest dispute, someone with a slightly bad mind will have a heart to kill someone, and such a person may be just a servant who is greedy for money, or just a little jealous The servants, maybe they are just some lazy cooks, these people will only commit some minor mistakes under normal circumstances, far from being extremely vicious, but many times it has been proved that they are the ones who ultimately murder people."
Fu Ling pursed her lips, "But what enmity does Ba Yi Niang have with them?"
Qin Wan put down the teacup and stood up, "I don't know, maybe it's a petty grudge, maybe it's revenge, or maybe it's an impulsive mistake and killed someone. We won't know until His Royal Highness and the prefect investigate. "
Fu Ling nodded, and suddenly said, "His Highness Chi has started to investigate the case. The procurator of the Ministry of Criminal Justice... sounds very powerful. Could it be that His Highness Chi will join the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the future?"
Thinking of this, Qin Wan's eyes deepened, and other people would not understand the question that even Fu Ling could understand. Could it be that her tone was a bit serious when she saw Princess Taichang in the Hou Mansion in the morning? Could it be that she understood the Holy Majesty Taking the opportunity to delay Yan's plan to join the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Entering the Ministry of Punishment may be an excellent arrangement for the children of other aristocratic families, but for Yan Chi, it means that he is about to leave the Shuoxi Army. Does this mean that the Holy Majesty is starting to feel worried about Prince Rui's residence
Qin Wan shook her head, these are not what she thought, the most important thing right now is whether Qin Li's illness has anything to do with Liu Shi's illness, if Qin Li is the person Liu Shi met with last night, then the person who killed Liu Shi is very likely It could be him!
Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly there were a few noises from the outside yard, Fu Ling went to the door and looked back and said, "Miss, it's Wantang and the others who are back..."
Qin Wan turned around, "Tell them to come in..."
Fu Ling responded and turned around to go out, Qin Wan sat down on the low couch by the window, not long after, Fu Ling led Wantang and the others into the room.
"Meet miss..."
The four saluted respectfully, Qin Wan glanced over, Wantang and Wantao were very respectful, but there was a bit of panic on their faces, Wanli still had that cold look, her chin was raised slightly, only Her brows were slightly frowned, only Wan Xing, even though such a big event happened today, she still had a dull expression on her face, showing no change in her emotions.
"Were you called in for questioning just now?"
Qin Wan's voice was light, and when the words settled down, Wantang hurriedly said, "Yes, miss, it was the magistrate's clerk who asked me where I was last night, did I see any strange things this morning, and I also asked Ba Yiniang where she was in the mansion on weekdays. What kind of person is he, but he has made trouble with others, and the slaves and servants have not been in the mansion for a long time, I don’t know how many, and they came out soon.”
Qin Wan only asked one question, but Wantang answered so many questions, which saved Qin Wan from asking any more questions. Qin Wan pondered for a moment, "What do other people in the house say?"
Wan Tang glanced at Wan Tao, and Wan Tao said, "People say that Ba Yiniang rarely sees her in the mansion these days, but I don't see her having any grudges with anyone. It's just that Ba Yiniang used to be a bit flamboyant and didn't treat her servants very well. , this time something happened, but not many people felt sad because of it, they only sighed that she was killed in the mansion, and everyone was a little scared."
Based on the scene when Qin Wan saw Liu Shi for the first time, she knew that Liu Shi was not usually reserved and calm. Such a temperament was the easiest to offend people, but it was impossible to kill someone because of a few quarrels. What's more, it is impossible for Liu Shi to go out in the middle of the night to meet someone who has quarreled with her. The only people who can go out in the middle of the night are those who are close and trusted by her. If she is threatened by someone, it is even more impossible for her to change into new clothes The balm goes out again.
Qin Wan nodded, "It's been an eventful day in the mansion these days, don't leave the yard if you have nothing to do, and we'll talk about it when things are over."
"Yes, I will follow Miss's orders."
Qin Wan said "Yes", "Stop going out, talking less, and step back."
Wantang and the others saluted together, and then walked out.
As soon as they left, Fu Ling said, "In any case, this matter has nothing to do with us, right? Miss, do you want to help His Royal Highness investigate the case?"
Qin Wan pondered for a while, "I've checked everything that needs to be checked today. From now on, wait for His Highness to order."
Fu Ling sighed, "I just feel that the young lady's complexion has been extraordinarily heavy since she found out about the accident in the manor today. This servant is afraid that the young lady will hurt her body by worrying too much."
It's impossible for Qin Wan not to think too much, unless the murderer who killed Miss Jiu can be found as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
…
…
"Miss, His Royal Highness is outside, please go out."
At dusk, just when Qin Wan thought that Yan Chi would not come to look for her again today, Fu Ling suddenly came in to report. Qin Wan straightened her skirt and hurriedly walked out of the yard.
At the fork in the courtyard, Yan Chi stood in a black robe, and when he heard footsteps, he pretended to turn around.
At this time, the Qin Mansion was already lit up, and after a whole day of questioning, most of the people's suspicions were resolved. Therefore, at this time, the servants who occasionally came and went in the inner courtyard were only because of Aunt Liu's incident. It fell silent all of a sudden, and with the fact that the government officials were stationed in the mansion, the servants did not dare to make too much noise when they walked.
"His Royal Highness..." Qin Wan stepped forward and blessed himself.
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan, frowned but said, "It's cold at night, why don't you come out wearing a cloak?"
Qin Wan was taken aback for a moment. She really didn't expect Yan Chi to have such caring words, so she shook her head and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, you don't feel cold right now. Your Highness is here, but do you have any questions?"
Yan Chi pursed his lips and said, "Master Huo has already met Master Qin, and the illness Master Qin suffers from is indeed the disease of willows and willows."
Yan Chi lowered his voice, Qin Wan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "How long has it been?"
Yan Chi's eyes lit up slightly, "About twenty days, I kept it a secret at first, but I had to tell it later when it got serious. His illness was not as long as Liu's, and I asked him, the last time he had sex with Liu The time when Mrs. Liu had sex was exactly a month ago, Mrs. Liu must have been infected at that time, but he didn't notice it."
Qin Wan frowned, "So... the third uncle didn't infect her with Liu's disease?"
Yan Chi said "Yes", "That's right, so now the biggest suspect is the person who made an appointment with Mrs. Liu in the middle of the night, and that person is in the Qin residence. Not only that, that person must also be infected with the willow disease."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. Qin Li also suffered from Hualiu disease, but Qin Li's illness was also shorter than Liu's. There are two possibilities. Although Qin Li was not the one who contracted the disease to the Liu family, it was the Liu family who infected him with his disease. In this way, he has the possibility of killing people.
"So His Highness intends to investigate all the men in the mansion?"
The corners of Yan Chi's lips curved slightly, "That's exactly what I meant, and the investigation will begin in half an hour."
Qin Wan's heart trembled, "After half an hour?"
Yan Chi frowned sharply, "What's wrong?"
Qin Wan lowered his eyes and flicked his eyes left and right twice. Yan Chi became more and more suspicious when he saw this, but he didn't ask, but just looked at Qin Wan with firm eyes. In Qin Wan's mind, there was a battle between heaven and man, and he suddenly raised his head and looked up. The child was hit by the conviction in Yan Chi's eyes, she gritted her teeth and suddenly lowered her voice, "There is a person, His Royal Highness, who does not need to investigate."
Yan Chi's black eyelashes flashed, "Who?"
Qin Wan looked around and took a step forward, getting closer to Yan Chi, she also lowered her voice, "Qin Li."
Yan Chi frowned, "The second son of the Qin family?"
Qin Wan said "Yes", "His Royal Highness does not need to investigate him, because... because he has been confirmed to be suffering from Hualiu disease, he came to see me for treatment a few days ago, and I have already prescribed several medicines for him."
A cold light flashed in Yan Chi's eyes, the second son of the Qin family also suffered from the willow disease? ! One is the aunt of the Qin family, and the other is the second son of the Qin family... What was the relationship between these two people before
"Only the two of you know about this?"
Yan Chi frowned and asked, a strange feeling arose in his heart. Hualiu disease is not only a serious disease, but also infects people, and it is still a disease that the world hates. Generally, the young ladies of good people will never Having this disease, although Qin Wan is a doctor with excellent medical skills, it is her original wish to save lives and heal the wounded, but Yan Chi feels aggrieved no matter what she thinks.
Qin Wan shook his head, "Fu Ling also knows, and Qin Li's servants should know too."
After a pause, Qin Wan continued, "I asked him, and he said he contracted the disease outside the mansion, but I'm not sure if his words are true or not. His onset time was about the same as that of third uncle. They are all later than Liu himself. If what he said is true, then he may not have much to do with the case, but if what he said is false, for example, he also got the disease because of an affair with Liu, then this In this case, he also had a reason for the murder..."
When Qin Wan said these words, she thought of Qin Li's eyes full of obscurity and pain. She pursed her lips and looked at Yan Chi with eyes as clear as streams. Breathing becomes light.
She is considered medium-sized among women, and she stood in front of Yan Chi, but only reached the position above his chest. At this moment, she was very close, and because she wanted to look into Yan Chi's eyes, she raised her head, and her messy hair hung down on her. Behind the ears, Yuxiu's small face raised a beautiful arc, her eyes, against the background of the night lights not far away, looked especially clear and bewitching.
As if a gem had fallen into a trickling stream, the shattered light did not dazzle Hua Yanchi's eyes, but disturbed his heart. Yanchi swallowed with some difficulty, and his hand almost unconsciously caressed her. He clenched his fists on his cheeks, and then held back, he said in a deep voice, "You want me not to investigate him in public? Give him some face?"
It is extremely simple for Yan Chi to see through a person's mind.
Although Qin Wan said these words to him, although he had some trust, he also had sympathy for Qin Li. Hualiu disease is a shame to a woman, and it is also harmful to the reputation of a young man like Ruo Qinli. He understood clearly, but he felt two points of displeasure in his heart. This Qin Li, why did Qin Wan spend so much time on him
Qin Wan still raised his head slightly, "Yes, I have already told His Highness the truth, His Highness can investigate directly or send him to question. Of course, if His Highness feels that this matter is unfair to others, he can re-open it in front of everyone. examine."
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan, and suddenly the corners of his lips curved slightly, "Why are you protecting him?"
Qin Wan's eyes turned, "I've always been a little more concerned about seeing him in the past few days."
Yan Chi didn't intend to delve into it further, since she brought it up, then she agreed, Yan Chi nodded, "Okay, I understand what you said, but do you have any other requests?"
Yan Chi's expression was compelling, and his eyes were shining brightly. Qin Wan blinked, and then felt that he was standing too close to him, so he took a step back, "Of course not. How about this case, I will listen to His Highness."
Yan Chi bent his lips and gave a light laugh. He had just made a request to himself a moment ago, and now he said he would follow his orders, but she could speak. Just as she was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
Yan Chi turned his eyes and saw that it was a maid who brought someone over, and he recognized this maid as the attendant of the old lady of the Qin family. Qin Wan also looked over, and at a glance she saw that she was coming to pick lotus.
Cai He walked up to him and saluted, "My Highness, Your Royal Highness, Miss Nine."
As soon as Caihe came, the smile on Yan Chi's face faded away, and he said in a solemn voice, "Excuse me, how is the gathering going?"
Cai He said respectfully, "His Royal Highness, all the male servants from the outer court have been summoned, and they are still in the steward's court. The magistrate is already here."
Yan Chi nodded, then looked at Qin Wan, "Ninth Miss, go back."
In front of people, his tone was appropriately alienated, Qin Wan blessed his body, and Yan Chi turned around and left.
Yan Chi left, but Cai He was not in a hurry to leave. She looked at Qin Wan and said, "Miss Jiu, the old lady is here to invite you."
Qin Wan's heart sank for a moment, but there was no surprise on his face.
What should come will always come. She was appointed by Yan Chi to answer questions with him. It was only natural for Jiang to call her over to ask questions, but... being called over like this, Qin Wan always felt that there was something wrong.
Mrs. Jiang had already returned to the Buddhist hall, Qin Wan followed Caihe, and went straight to the Buddhist hall along the secluded path. The two maidservants were holding night lights.
After walking a few steps, Cai He suddenly turned around, "Is Miss Jiu afraid?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "Of course I'm not afraid."
Cai He then laughed, "Miss Nine is so courageous, it's fine if you don't be afraid, the road here is dark, and the servants are worried that you are afraid..." After a slight pause, Cai He said again, "If something like this happens in the mansion, it is The slaves are a little panicked."
After all, it was a dead person, and Qin Wan understood that Cai He was like this. She didn't answer, and just followed Cai He to the Buddhist hall.
Soon before arriving at the Buddhist hall, after entering the main room, Qin Wan looked up and saw both Lin and Qin Chen. Qin Wanfu saluted, and Jiang's gloomy eyes fell on her. Instead, he asked in a slow voice, "Guan'er, you are here today with His Royal Highness Prince Rui's son and the magistrate, do you know how their investigation is going?"
Qin Wan lowered his eyes, "His Royal Highness and the prefect have found out that Aunt Liu has a strange disease. Now I infer that Aunt Liu is indeed having an affair with someone else. I guess they will investigate in this direction."
Hearing Qin Wan's words, Mrs. Lin glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and there was neither surprise nor doubt on their faces. It was obvious that Qin Wan was telling the truth, and they all knew about the situation.
"Did His Royal Highness check anything else?" Suddenly, Lin asked again.
Qin Wan is a little suspicious, check something else? What else do you mean
Qin Wan shook his head, "No, that's all I've found. Right now, His Royal Highness and the prefect are going to check whether the other male servants in the mansion are sick or not?"
There was a moment of indifference in the room. Obviously, what Qin Wan knew was almost the same as what they knew.
"Ninth Sister, do you still want to accompany His Royal Highness to investigate the case tomorrow?" Qin Chen suddenly said, "There is a death in the mansion, you should have stayed in the yard like Xiang'er and Shuang'er. We really can't bear to follow His Royal Highness and the prefect, so don't be afraid tonight."
Qin Wan raised her eyes and looked at Qin Chen for a moment, seeing the concern on Qin Chen's face, she said, "I'm not afraid, it's just that I feel a little uneasy thinking that there is a murderer hiding in the mansion."
Qin Chen nodded, "Of course it will be so, so you stay in your yard at night and don't wander around."
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, thank you, brother."
Qin Chen twitched the corners of his lips, looked at Lin and Jiang, "Mother, grandma, if you don't have anything to ask, let Jiumei go back and rest."
Jiang's eyes still fell on Qin Wan, but she didn't speak for a while, but now she said, "Since His Royal Highness and the magistrate value you for the sake of Princess Taichang, you can answer truthfully when asked, but everything is fine." For the sake of the reputation of the Qin family, you are from the Qin family after all, so don't let the affairs of the Qin family make too much noise."
Qin Wan smiled in his heart for a moment, but it didn't show on his face, "Yes, Guan'er knows."
Jiang slowly closed her eyes and sighed, "Okay, you can go back, Caihe, you can give it away."
Qin Wan was blessed again, then turned around and went out, Cai He followed with two maidservants holding lamps, walked out of the main entrance of the Buddhist hall, and said softly, "Miss Jiu, don't be afraid, the old lady is also thinking about the reputation of the Qin family .”
Qin Wan naturally understood what Jiang was thinking, but she felt that Jiang was doing too much, she was an outsider, for example, she didn't know that Qin An suffered from Hualiu disease, so how could she tell Yan Chi? And what she knew, Yan Chi would eventually find out, and Jiang's behavior made her feel somewhat guilty.
"Of course I understand that." Qin Wan said in an ordinary tone, looking really unmoved.
Cai He looked at her twice, and said with a light smile, "Miss Nine is more daring than Miss Six and Miss Fifth, but when something like this happened in the mansion, Miss Nine should be more careful, as you said, the murderer still hides Now, it is uncertain when they will come out to do evil, although the Qin Mansion has an inner and outer court, but people from the outer court can't help but come into the inner house at night."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to Cai He, "Who does Miss Cai He think it could be?"
Cai He blinked his eyes when he heard the words, but shook his head, "Cai He is just a servant, but I can't figure it out, I can only wait for His Royal Highness and the Magistrate, but the old lady always thinks that the well is doing something wrong It's strange to think about it, Miss Six just fell off that day, and something happened to Auntie Eight in a blink of an eye. The old lady said, after this case is over, I have to invite a mage to come to the forty-nine-day Daochang, so please Let's go and get rid of the bad luck in the mansion."
Qin Wan laughed a little, "The well has been sealed, so I'm afraid that what happened to Auntie Ba has nothing to do with that well."
Cai He also showed helplessness, "The old lady has been devoting herself to the Buddha these years. Every time something unlucky happens in the house, she always invites the masters to do it. It has become a habit over time." After a pause, Cai He He suddenly said, "By the way, I don't know when people can go to the flower shed? The place where the wellhead is buried has not yet been covered with floor tiles. It looks really indecent. The old lady urged me in the afternoon, but His Royal Highness and The magistrate has to handle the case, how can he lay the floor tiles..."
The corners of Qin Wan's eyes twitched, and he just felt that Jiang Shi was too superstitious, "I don't know about that either, let's wait until tomorrow, tomorrow should be almost the same."
Cai He nodded, "That's good, thank you Miss Jiu."
"I didn't do anything, so I don't deserve a word of thanks."
Cai He shook her head, and suddenly said, "Miss Jiu... Did you understand what the old lady meant just now?"
Qin Wan looked at Cai He, "What does the old lady mean?"
Cai He took a step closer and said in a low voice, "The old lady doesn't like His Royal Highness and the prefect to go to the forbidden area of the mansion. After all, the Qin mansion is a respectable family in Jinzhou City. The affairs of these aunts and masters in the family are likely to damage the style of the family." .”
Qin Wan's heart trembled, "You mean... Zizhu Forest?"
The two talked as they walked, and they had already walked the darkest part of the road. Cai He paused, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "Miss Jiu has a delicate mind, and she must understand what the old lady means." Glancing in the direction of Tinglanyuan, "Tinglanyuan is not far away, Caihe has to go back to serve the old lady, so I won't see you off, you go slowly."
Qin Wan nodded slowly, picked up the lotus blessing, turned around and walked back and forth.
Watching Caihe leave, Qin Wan stood there for a long time without moving.
Fu Ling said sideways, "What's wrong, miss?"
Qin Wan came back to his senses, glanced at the road, and walked away with a dazed expression. Miss Nine was killed in the Zizhu Forest, but Qin Li and Caihe were in the mansion, and they all told her not to go to the Zizhu Forest...
What is the secret in the purple bamboo forest
Now both Yan Chi and Huo Zhifu trust her, and she only needs a word to lead the spearhead to the Zizhu Forest, not to mention entering the Zizhu Forest in such a grand manner, but also to use Yan Chi's hand to investigate Miss Jiu's death clear.
Do you want to do this
Qin Wan lowered her head and frowned tightly.
"Miss, what did Sister Caihe say just now?"
Right now, Cai He intentionally approached Qin Wan, Fu Ling and the two maidservants holding the lamps were two steps behind, even Fu Ling didn't hear what Cai He said, Qin Wan took a shallow breath, "She said, don't go to the Purple Bamboo Forest."
Fu Ling felt a chill down her spine when she first heard that, "Why are you going to the Purple Bamboo Forest?" She said and looked at Qin Wan in surprise, "Miss wants to go to the Purple Bamboo Forest again? Last time, why did you go to the Purple Bamboo Forest without telling the maidservant?" .”
Qin Wan shook his head, and suddenly said, "Who did you hear about the rumors about Zizhu Forest?"
Fu Ling thought for a while, "Miss, are you talking about the rumors of why the purple bamboo forest became the forbidden area of the Qin Mansion? At the time of the slave maid, it seemed that Aunt Liu in the kitchen said it, but the older servants in the mansion knew about it. That is to say, there was an aunt who hanged herself in the purple bamboo forest and died, and then the master asked someone to seal the purple bamboo forest."
"But this piece of purple bamboo in the mansion is very precious. For some reason, the master didn't get rid of all the purple bamboo, and just left it in ruins. But since then, no matter whether master or servant, no one dares to go there."
It's not that no one dares to go there anymore... Butler Liu has been there, and so has Mrs. Liu...
No, wait—
Qin Wan's feet suddenly stopped, how could she forget this? !
Mrs. Liu has been to the Purple Bamboo Forest, and she happened to see Steward Liu also went to the Purple Bamboo Forest. Could it be...the person who had an affair with Mrs. Liu was most likely Steward Liu? !
Qin Wan took a tight breath, and suddenly thought of the medicine bag in Liu's room.
Mrs. Liu did not dare to ask Qian Bairen for medicine, that is because someone else gave her the prescription and taught her how to deceive others. This person is either Qin Li or Liu Chun. who
Qin Wan suddenly frowned, and walked very quickly...
"What is Miss going to do?!"
Fu Ling hurriedly asked, Qin Wan said, "Go to His Highness Chi—"
Fu Ling hurriedly followed, "His Royal Highness Chi is in the steward's office!"
Qin Wan knew this. Holding her skirt, she almost trotted towards the direction of the steward. She had a lot of questions in her heart. When Yan came late, she didn't have a chance to ask them carefully. Now she only needs to ask Yan It will be known later, who is having an affair with Liu, and the answer will be revealed soon—
Qin Wan's heart was beating non-stop. Thinking of seeing Ba Yiniang coming out of the purple bamboo forest that time, she became more certain in her heart. Aunt Liu went to the purple bamboo forest to get something, and what she took was a huge question!
Qin Wan was panting slightly as he ran, and when he arrived at the management office, he saw layers of yamen guarding the door. Qin Wan stopped and calmed down for a moment, and immediately walked over. He wanted to report to the yamen, but just left When they arrived at the door, they saw Yan Chi and Huo Huaixin standing in the courtyard. There was a government servant standing in front of them. He didn't know what the government servant said. Yan Chi's and Huo Huaixin's expressions changed, and Qin Wan raised his eyebrows. , His eyes fell on the Yacha.
Although they are all wearing the official uniforms of the yamen, the one who is talking is covered in dust, not only the shoes are covered with mud, even the hem of the robe can be seen with mud spots, Qin Wan narrowed his eyes, this yamen has traveled a long way !
Perhaps Qin Wan's gaze was too substantive, and Yan Chi in the yard actually looked at her. He frowned slightly, and immediately walked towards Qin Wan. Khan couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong?"
Qin Wan blessed Fushen, and took a look at the courtyard first, "What's going on?"
Yan Chi's face darkened, and after a moment of contemplation, he said in a low voice, "Wei Yanzhi committed suicide in Shili Temple."
