Madam, let's steam buns together

Lycium barbarum said that they ignored Zhang Huaruo, and after an hour, they took the initiative to return to Zhang Huaruo, and accompanied Zhang Huaruo to pick out the finished medicinal materials that Zhang Huaruo had grown and dried, and ground them into powder or squeezed out the juice.

There was a small copper plate balance on the table. Zhang Huaruo picked the medicinal powder according to the actuarial amount, poured it into a small white porcelain bottle and shook it well, and smelled the smell with the breeze from the mouth of the bottle. He felt that the medicinal smell was still a bit obvious. , and added a little petal powder to it.

The petal powder has no other function, it is used to increase the aroma and cover up the taste of the powder itself.

Lycium barbarum leaned over his head and took a deep sniff at the mouth of the bottle, sighing: "It smells so good."

It's not too strong fragrance, but a light floral fragrance, even if you smell it too much, you won't get tired of it.

Lycium barbarum didn't know what this bottle of medicinal powder was made of, but Zhang Huaruo knew, seeing that Lycium barbarum took such a deep breath unconsciously, he quickly put the cap on the bottle and put it aside, and lightly tapped Lycium barbarum on the head: " Didn't I tell you that if you don't know the medicine, you can't smell it directly like this?"

Lycium barbarum tilted his head: "But I remember the young master told me that it was because he didn't know whether it was poison or other medicines. Just now the young master has smelled it himself, so it can be seen that it is not poisonous. Why are you so careful? "

"I smelled it, but I just fanned it a little bit, and if I tell you now it's not non-toxic..."

Lycium barbarum wiped his nose with his fingers, and said with a little fear: "Master, you are not lying to me. Lycium barbarum doesn't feel any discomfort in your body now."

Zhang Huaruo looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked: "Godberry, where do you hide your private money?"

Wolfberry immediately replied: "Under the pillow, and in the pickle jar under the bed."

After he finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth, his small eyes rolled around, extremely aggrieved: "Why did the young master ask me this question about medlars!"

"Then let me change the question, do you like Tweety?"

Wolfberry replied almost without thinking: "I like it."

He quickly covered his mouth again, and backed away a few feet in horror, secretly shocked why he couldn't control his mouth today, it's fine to tell the young master where the private money is hidden, the young master will not steal his private money, there is no need Be careful, but he likes Tweety's emotional things, how could he tell the young master!

Zhang Huaruo pointed at the small porcelain bottle at this time, and the expression on his face was telling Gouqizi: Now I know what the medicine powder in this medicine bottle does.

"It's amazing!" Wolfberry walked to the table and picked up the small porcelain bottle. An idea came to his mind, and he asked Zhang Huaruo excitedly, "Take this to the old housekeeper to smell, will the old housekeeper answer any questions you ask?"

Zhang Huaruo thought for a while, then shook his head uncertainly: "This medicine powder can only make people's brains unable to react temporarily, subconsciously tell the truth, the more innocent the person, the better the effect. If it is a thoughtful person like the old housekeeper, You can't ask directly, you have to use a little formula, and when his sober mind is a little messed up, he will unconsciously tell the truth."

In other words, for people who are pure-minded and rarely lie, this medicinal powder is very effective. As long as someone smells it, he will obediently tell the truth in his heart, even in some people who are under normal conditions. Content that you absolutely do not want others to know.

But for those who are prone to lying, who have a lot of twists and turns in their minds, and have a lot of tricks, the effect may not be as direct as the above, but it will not be completely ineffective.

This kind of person is extremely defensive. He has to go through his mind several times before deciding how to answer when he says a word. This is because he has formed a brain circuit habit. If he wants to break this habit, he must either be persuaded to let him down or A more intense attitude will directly make the other party upset and unable to think clearly, and it will also allow the medicine to exert its maximum effect.

The case of the latter is still relatively rare. Most people who smell this medicinal powder are no match for the efficacy of the medicinal powder, and will obediently speak out the most true thoughts in their minds.

The more you smell, the better the effect, but it should not be too obvious. Once you are on guard in your heart and deliberately slow down your thinking, it will be difficult to get the truth.

Lycium barbarum still thinks this medicinal powder is amazing: "Is it like being drunk, some people just say what's on their minds, some people need to ask before they can say it, and some people can't tell when they're drunk. Not half the truth."

Zhang Huaruo thinks that the difference between the two is quite big, but if Gouqizi wants to understand it so simply, it can be said in the same way, so he nodded: "If you really want to ask something from the old housekeeper, just click , Don’t say how many mistakes make him feel confused, just go up and let him smell the smell of this medicine powder, and ask the question you want to know the most in the first sentence, maybe you can ask it.”

"Hey." Wolfberry picked up the small porcelain bottle and put it in his arms, as if he was going to do something bad right away.

Zhang Huaruo was worried, and explained again: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and you must have a sense of humor."

"Godberry knows how to measure, and won't ask too private things. If such a question is really asked, when the old housekeeper realizes later, Gouqi will be killed by the old housekeeper!"

Wolfberry said that the old butler would kill him to silence him, that is to say, it was just a joke, even if he knew the secret of the old butler's heart, it would not be so serious that he would be silenced by the old butler, but he would definitely be silenced by the old butler in the days to come. Keep an eye on him every day, in case he doesn't know when to accidentally tell the old housekeeper's secret.

If that's the case, he will be annoyed by the old housekeeper every day, and he doesn't want to do this.

The matter that Wolfberry wants to ask the old housekeeper is not a question that cannot be asked, but if you ask the old housekeeper on weekdays, the old housekeeper will either keep silent or talk about him. He might think of an answer to prevaricate, but wolfberry is really curious about this question, so he wants to use this medicinal powder to ask the real answer to this question.

He was happily going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the old housekeeper to test the young master's new medicinal powder. Before the medlar came out of the house, Zhang Huaruo suddenly stopped him, pulled him to his side and whispered, and ordered one thing.

Lycium barbarum listened carefully to Zhang Huaruo's orders, kept nodding, and finally assured Zhang Huaruo: "Yes! Lycium barbarum must investigate this matter clearly!"

He happened to have this medicine powder in his hand. If it was really effective on the old housekeeper, then he would use it for He Liao, so that he could ask why He Liao still stayed in the prime minister's mansion.

The most important thing is, just like what the young master cares about, Gou Qizi is also very curious why the master will allow He Lio to stay in the prime minister's mansion. As long as the master is not willing, it is useless for He Lie to stay in the prime minister's mansion. A few strong servants could lift He Lie out of the Prime Minister's Mansion on his back.

Goji berries went to the prime minister's mansion, Yang Dabao was still selling steamed buns at a stall outside, and Zhang Huaruo continued to prepare another medicine at home.

What Zhang Huaruo didn't know was that just because he had found out the real cause of Luo Situ's death, troubles were about to come to him.

The people in Qingyi Fang have been checked out, and the guests who have nothing to do with the case have been released back. The people in the building who have nothing to do with the case are no longer stared at and locked up in their respective rooms. Everyone who had contacted Luo Situ before was taken to the Ministry of Punishment.

As for Lingche City, because he was a relative of Luo Situ and came to Chang'an City with the envoys of the Moon Kingdom, he was protected by other envoys of the Moon Kingdom.

The envoys all felt that Luo Situ's death could not possibly be related to Lingche City. After scolding the Lichao officials for their inability to find the real murderer and their attempt to use Lingche City as a scapegoat, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was under pressure to restore Lingche City. Free body, return to the side of the envoys of the Moon Kingdom.

It's a pity that although Ling Checheng had left Frost's side and no longer watched him all the time, Frost still couldn't tell the truth to everyone.

Liu Qingsu and Hanshuang were locked in the same cell. Seeing whether Hanshuang was rubbing his throat with a distressed expression, he came up to talk to Hanshuang when he was bored, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, Hanshuang?" , You have not spoken since you came out of the building, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Frost frowned and nodded, trying to speak a little: "I accidentally caught a cold last night, my throat hurts and I don't want to talk."

The sound is dry and unpleasant, which is indeed similar to the symptoms of throat discomfort after catching a cold.

Liu Qingsu raised his hand and felt the temperature of Hanshuang's forehead with the back of his hand. He didn't feel that Hanshuang had a fever, nor did he have any other symptoms of cold. It's too strange that he only felt discomfort in his throat.

He smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's just that you can't speak through your throat. Anyway, Frost, you don't talk much on weekdays, and you don't pay much attention to guests. As long as your hands and feet are fine and you can dance."

Frost didn't speak anymore, he looked down at his intact hands and feet, thinking of Ling Checheng's warning to him.

After Ling Checheng forced him to swallow the unknown poison, his throat became in the current state, and every word he uttered was very uncomfortable.

Ling Checheng said that he used the pain in his throat to always remind Frost not to say "useless nonsense" to those Lichao officials when he was not by his side.

If Hanshuang is obedient, then Ling Checheng will send the antidote. If Hanshuang doesn't obediently obey, Hanshuang will remain in this state for the rest of his life. Can't dance for the rest of my life.

Frost touched his wrist, his eyes showed a bit of confusion, he was living a very law-abiding life, he had never done anything bad in his life, how did he come across such a bad thing, bumped into such a sinister In the hands of vicious people.

Seeing that Frost didn't intend to talk to him anymore, Liu Qingsu wasn't annoyed. She sat next to Frost and leaned against him, and began to talk to herself: "Why do you think we are so unlucky, and we just ran into such a person?" In a murder case, the guest was obviously fine, so why did he die? You said, if they can’t catch the real murderer, why don’t they pull me out as a scapegoat? After all, I was the last one to stay with that guest together."

The more Liu Qingsu said, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and he unconsciously clenched Frost's sleeves tightly, feeling extremely nervous: "But I really didn't kill him, I have no reason to kill him, let alone the strength to kill him , I can't even lift a bucket on weekdays, how could I have the strength to kill that guest, it is said that the guest can also martial arts, if I dare to attack him, the person who died must be me!"

"I stepped on him a few times in anger because he said the name Zhang Huaruo in my ear, but the weight of those feet couldn't even fall off the shoe prints on his body. It can be seen how light it is. It is impossible to be because of me. Those few feet that stepped on him will just crush him to death."

Liu Qingsu didn't tell the officers and soldiers who were interrogating these words, because he knew that this was a factor that was not good for him, so he didn't say it if he could, so as not to increase his suspicion.

Speaking of Zhang Huaruo, Liu Qingsu suddenly paused for a while, then lowered his head and said suddenly, "Could it be Zhang Huaruo who was killed by someone?"

Analyze again on his own: "This envoy of the Yue Kingdom was chanting Zhang Huaruo after he was drunk, so it can be seen that he should like Zhang Huaruo and wants to get him, and I also heard that the envoy of the Yue Kingdom had been in a few days ago Yang Dabao’s baozi stall caused trouble, and Zhang Huaruo and Yang Dabao must have formed a relationship. He has this reason to want to kill the envoy, and he also has this ability. He has so many feelings around him, so he just sends someone to kill him. It’s not necessary at all. Do it yourself."

Some people thought the same as Liu Qingsu. After learning that Luo Situ had fought with Yang Dabao, and that Luo Situ had never concealed his peeps at Zhang Huaruo, one of the Yue Kingdom envoys thought A possibility was raised, that is, Luo Situ was most likely killed by Zhang Huaruo, or he sent someone to kill him.

Zhang Xieyi was outraged by the envoy's groundless speculation: "What evidence do you have to prove that this matter is related to my son?"

The man said: "Lord Luo really likes your son, the Prime Minister, but he just wants to meet him and show some lovesickness. I didn't expect that the Prime Minister can't even satisfy our little request, Lord Luo, Lord Luo. I had no choice but to take the initiative to go out to find Yang Dabao, just to see your son."

"Ling Checheng told us about the situation that day, and after encountering repeated rejections from you, Master Luo shot at Yang Dabao in a moment of impatience. We admit that this is Master Luo's mistake and shouldn't hurt others, but afterward, your son treated us, Master Luo. A silver needle was applied to seal the acupoints of Master Luo. From this, it can be seen that your son is good at acupuncture. In addition, he saw the real cause of Master Luo's death. He could find such a small wound on his head. Don't you, Prime Minister? Do you think it's all a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence!" Zhang Xieyi was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say, pointing at the envoy of the Moon Kingdom and yelling, "You think everyone is as small-bellied as Luo Situ, I don't know my son? He definitely doesn't He would hurt people's lives for such a trivial matter, even if it was a damn bastard like Luo Situ, he would not think about taking Luo Situ's life, there are many ways to make Luo Situ miserable, let him die , not our Zhang family's style!"

Seeing that there was going to be a commotion, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice at the side hurried up to persuade him: "Master Mu only mentioned such a possibility, and he didn't mean that if Hua was the murderer, don't be angry, don't be angry, just speak up if you have something to say. You really are, Mr. Mu, this matter There is no evidence at all, how can we make such a hasty conclusion based on the news we heard, this silver needle for acupuncture is far from the silver needle used in this case."

The envoy Mu of the Yue Kingdom talked so much just now, but now he was glared at by Zhang Xieyi so angrily, and he was so frightened that he didn't speak any more. Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of the Li Dynasty came out to speak for him, he sat back quietly Don't go on.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments coughed lightly, pushed Zhang Xieyi back to his seat, and continued the conversation with the envoys of the Yue Kingdom: "My lords, think about the question we asked before, since Master Luo is in the Yue Kingdom Occasionally, he would have a headache, and his subordinates would wait for him to relieve the headache. The trip to Lichao was destined to take a long time. How could Master Luo not bring an entourage who could relieve his headache? Could it be this person Do you want to do it?"

"Why, it's impossible for people from Li Dynasty to kill people, but we people from Yue Kingdom will kill people?"

Among the envoys of the Yue Kingdom, there was Lord Yin who had a bad temper. Luo Situ, who was implying in the words of the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment that it was very likely that Yue Kingdom's own people killed him, became ill-tempered.
