They say it's sick

Chapter 64

Li Yan stared at the vial and opened his eyes slightly.

He had read the script before, and heard all kinds of low-level gossip in the village. He naturally understood this kind of words, but he didn't think about it for a while.

What's more, Li Xuan has reached the point where he needs to take the buoyant medicine and has not stopped these thoughts.

In comparison, Yun Zhi was much calmer than him, with a calm expression, obviously not the slightest surprise at this answer.

He took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms and wiped the dust off the small porcelain bottle: "Does Li Xuan eat this every time?"

"It was not used before, but recently..." After all, the concubine's room was young, and it was facing two strange men, so it was difficult to say too directly, "I got this medicine a few days ago and came back. After taking it once, it is indeed...well, it has some effect, so I took it several times in a row."

After the concubine finished speaking, she looked at the bottle with some hesitation: "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the medicine? But the general didn't take it tonight. It can't be because the poison was poisoned before, and it only happened today, right?"

"Didn't eat tonight?" Yun Zhi slightly raised her eyebrows, "Then what's the matter with this bottle?"

"I don't know where the general got this medicine. There were only a few pills in total. After taking it a few times, it disappeared. The general also said that he would get some more..." The concubine said recalling, "The bottle is probably from the last time I took it. General Wan casually threw it aside, at that time, he didn't care about such trivial things, who knows when he fell under the bed."

Yun Zhi casually played with the bottle, raised her eyes slightly after thinking for a while: "Did Li Xuan not come to your room again after taking this medicine?"

"How do you know..." The concubine was stunned, and then complained, "I'm not the only one in the mansion, especially Mrs. Ru, who carries the child to walk in front of the general every now and then, and uses this as an excuse to lure people to her house." Go inside, don't even look at yourself..."

"Okay, I'm not interested in the fight for favor in the back house..." Yun Zhi interrupted her in a gentle but unceremonious tone, "Last night when Li Xuan vomited blood and passed out, you called someone. Who was the one that came in?"

"How can I remember the chaos last night? It's just a few people who usually follow the general!" The concubine said a few names after thinking, "Anyway, it's just these few. I can't remember who came first. .”

Li Yan frowned after listening to the names, then raised his eyes to look at Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi nodded slightly, and then said to the concubine's room: "I've finished asking all I want to ask, it's getting late, let's go to rest early."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out.

"The death of the general has nothing to do with me. You can't lock me here forever!" Seeing that they were about to leave, the concubine jumped off the soft couch and grabbed the sleeve of Li Yan who was half a step behind. , "You are the eldest son of the Li family, you have to make the decision for me!"

Li Yan's footsteps paused slightly, his eyes lingered slightly on his sleeves, and then turned to the concubine's face: "Are you sure you want to go out now? There are many former members of Li Xuan who came to express their condolences in the front yard. We believe you are not the murderer." But they may not, after all someone has to be responsible for Li Xuan's death."

The concubine hesitated for a moment, let go of the hand holding the sleeve, hugged her knees and curled up on the soft couch, sobbing softly: "But keep me locked here, Madam, she won't let me go..."

"If Mrs. Zheng doesn't want to let you go, why bother to send someone over to deliver food for you when the whole house is busy?"

Yun Zhi leaned against the door, glanced at the unpacked food box on the table, then raised her chin from Li Yan, "Xuan Zhi, let's go."

The two went out one after the other, and did not close the door to block the sobbing behind them.

Yun Zhi rubbed her ears, looked back at the closed door, and sighed softly: "Everyone in this world really has their own sufferings, she is in her prime, but she was delayed because of people like Li Xuan. "

"Li Xuan is dead now, so it's not a delay..." Li Yan said softly, "According to Mrs. Zheng's behavior, when all the matters are resolved, she will have the opportunity to choose a new way out."

"Hmm..." Yun Zhi responded, picked up the lantern just now, "Let's go..."

Li Yan looked around in the yard: "The others stopped asking?"

"It's all irrelevant, and it won't make much difference whether you ask or not..." After Yun Zhi finished speaking, she smiled softly, "Don't you also have a guess in your heart?"

"You also said that it's speculation..." Li Yan shook his head, "The empty bottle in your arms is not enough evidence."

"Now that we have guesses, it's easy to find evidence..." Yun Zhi raised her eyes and looked around, then took Li Yan's hand, "Let's go, let's go back to rest."

The situation in the Li Mansion is inconvenient to rest, and neither Yunzhi nor Li Yan have very good memories of this place, so naturally they don't want to rest here.

So as soon as I entered the city, I arranged for someone to go to a nearby inn to book a room.Although it was already the time of curfew, with the token given by Mrs. Zheng, he went back to the inn without hindrance.

Chen Jin went back to the inn first, and after taking a bath and changing clothes, he leisurely sat by the window drinking and blowing the air. Before he could get up when he heard footsteps, there was a knock on the door, and the next moment Yun Zhi took Li Yan to push Entering the door: "Is it going well?"

"If you don't come here, it will be easier for me to drink this pot of wine and fall asleep peacefully..." Chen Jin glanced at their faces, then pointed to the seat on the other side, "I touched Li's house After reading it again, most of the people are busy in the front yard, and in the back house, apart from the place you went to, there are only people in the courtyard of Mrs. Ru with the child."

Li Yan just sat down, when he heard the words, he subconsciously looked at Chen Jin: "You have been following us just now?"

"I saw you go in and left..." Chen Jin said with a soft smile, "But tonight, I am not the only one following you, there is another one, the one who talked to you when I first entered Li's mansion. Probably knows The young master is good at martial arts, so he didn't dare to get too close, he just saw where you were going from a distance and left."

Li Yan looked up at Yun Zhi: "Li Liang?"

"At first, I thought I'd have to spend some time to check all those..." Yunzhi laughed softly, "He saved us trouble."

Chen Jin put down the jug and looked at the two of them: "What's the situation, you go around Li's mansion, ask anyone casually, and you can find out?"

"I wasn't completely sure before, but now it's almost the same..." Yun Zhi said as he took out the small porcelain bottle just now from his bosom, and handed it to Chen Jin, "Look at this."

Chen Jin took the porcelain bottle, shook it lightly and found it was empty, then opened the stopper of the bottle mouth, leaned closer and smelled it: "What is it?"

"Happy medicine..."

Before Yun Zhi finished speaking, Chen Jin's eyes had scanned him from top to bottom, then turned to Li Yan, and asked with some confusion and suspicion: "Although your body is a bit weak, but at least you are old. Gently, it shouldn't be!"

Li Yan: "..."

Probably no man can accept doubts in this regard, especially...

He raised his head and looked at Yun Zhi, facing those smiling eyes, he was speechless for a moment——in this situation, no matter what he said, it seemed like a weak excuse.

After being speechless for a while, he turned back to Chen Jin, almost gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "That's Li Xuan's!"

"Li Xuan's? It would be reasonable for someone like him who hangs around the flowers all the year round..." Chen Jin thought for a while, then nodded, "Did he eat too much of this stuff, and died from his exhaustion?"

"That's not..." Yun Zhi hooked Li Yan's finger, and explained to Chen Jin, "Someone gave him this medicine on purpose, and the first time he gave it was the bottle in your hand. It was effective. After eating, Li Xuan would take the initiative to ask for a new one, then give him the medicine in question, and when Li Xuan's poison was in chaos, he would quietly take away the remaining medicine.

Even if the people in Li's mansion suspected that Li Xuan was poisoned, they would only check his previous food, how could they think of such a thing.After all, no one would eat something like this and show it off in a big way, right? "

Chen Jin nodded in agreement: "So it's that Li Liang?"

"It can be seen from the time he entered the mansion that he has quite a status in Li's mansion now, and he should have been trusted by Li Xuan before. It is not strange to find such things for the master's bed thoughtfully. Li He was the one who rushed through the door at the first moment when the poison was spreading..." Yun Zhi curled her lips, "I was just skeptical at first, and I wasn't completely sure it was him, but he just couldn't hold it back."

Chen Jin casually threw the small porcelain bottle aside, took a sip from the jug he had just put down, still a little confused: "Since he is being trusted in Li's residence, why should he kill Li Xuan at this time? If he dies, he can be the master of the Li residence, right?"

"Then you have to ask him yourself..." Yun Zhi said, took the jug from him, took another cup to fill up, and took a sip, "It's almost time, let's go? "

Chen Jin looked at him, then at Li Yan: "No wonder you came to my room as soon as you came back."

"I'm not as proficient as you in night scouting..." Yun Zhi said, "He took away all the poison, and he still wants to follow me and Li Yan. Obviously he is worried. Such a suspicious person will always take advantage of us Let’s go, and when no one is paying attention to the mansion, go and see if we have found anything. It’s just right for you to go at this time.”

"Okay..." Chen Jin pushed the jug in front of Yun Zhi, "Drink slowly, and I'll be back later."

After speaking, he stood up, turned directly out of the window, and disappeared into the night.

Li Yan glanced out of the window, then looked back at Yun Zhi: "You are so obsessed with the cause of Li Xuan's death, do you think...someone is worried about what we can find out from Li Xuan, so when we arrived in Pingzhou Moved to him."

"Yes, but it's not so easy to find out who this person is." After Yun Zhi finished speaking, she shook her head lightly, picked up the flagon and poured a glass for Li Yan, "The night is still long, have a drink."
