dream of red mansion

Chapter 178 Not an Ordinary Poison
"Second Master, it's none of our business, it's really none of our business! Master somehow became like this, and we don't know what's going on."

Seeing Jia Qing's cold eyes staring at them, the two maidservants, who were frightened at first, couldn't hold their breath, and knelt down to Jia Qing's feet, begging for mercy.

Jia Qing looked at the two maids who usually called her sister affectionately, and she lost the sympathy of the past at all.

When he came to this world, without Jia Jing's love and care, he would not have come to this day safely and smoothly, and he was even only one step away from sitting in this huge Ningguo Mansion!
However, now this mountain that has always been there is so limp on the bed, life and death are unknown.No matter how you look at it, these two people around Jia Jing are inseparable from each other.

Suppressing the anger that was about to erupt, Jia Qing raised his legs, let go of their hands holding his trouser legs, and said coldly, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xu knew that the life and death of the two of them were all on Jia Qing's body. Chunhong cried: "I really don't know what's going on. I was waiting outside, and suddenly I heard the sound of a cup falling from inside, and then I heard Qiuyue The sound of exclamation. I hurried in and took a look, and the master was already like this. I really don’t know what’s going on!"

Jia Qing took a look at the bowl that fell on the ground and the soup scattered all over the place. She had a calculation in her mind, but she turned her eyes to another person.

Qiuyue was worse than Chunhong, she just had a look of panic and fear, seeing Jia Qing looking at her, she was speechless.

Jia Qing's eyes froze again, and he was about to make a move when he saw it.

Chunhong suddenly said: "Qiuyue, I remember that someone sent something before, did you pick it up? What's going on, tell the second master quickly, or we will die!"

The words "may be dead" woke her up. Qiuyue gathered the light in her eyes, got up and knelt down, and said loudly: "Yes, yes, it's Huang Yan! It's her, it must be her!"

"Huang Yan?"

Jia Qing had never heard of this name.

Seeing the doubt in Jia Qing's eyes, Qiuyue continued: "It's her, she is the maid in Grandma You's house. She was the one who brought a bowl of lotus seed and white fungus soup earlier, saying that Grandma specially made it for the master. I served it After entering, the master had just eaten two spoonfuls, and suddenly his face changed. It must be her, she is the one who wants to harm the master!"

Jia Qing believed it was the truth as soon as he heard it, because judging from the traces left on the ground, it really looked like lotus seed and white fungus soup.

"Boss, quickly bring someone to capture Huang Yan!"

Without waiting for Jia Qing's order, Lai Sheng gave instructions to Lai Sheng's family who just came in not long ago.

After Lai Sheng's family went out, Jia Qingcai asked Qiuyue a few more words, only to see Lai Sheng's family arrest a person and come in.

"Second Master, she is Huang Yan. She has been in the yard all the time, so I found her all of a sudden."

"It's you, how brave!"

It was the maid Jia Qing met when she entered the door.Although he didn't see the appearance clearly at the time, he also got a general idea.Now that she was brought in, Jia Qing recognized her immediately.

It's just that this servant girl also has a look of panic and disbelief at this time.
Jia Qing can understand the panic, but what does it mean that she still has an expression of disbelief?Do you not believe that Jia Qing can recognize her or do you not believe that others can catch her?
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this! Also, what kind of poison is the master, if you really do it, I can give you a face."

No matter who instigated her, if something like this happened, she would not survive!

"Slave servant. Slave servant doesn't know."

Huang Yan seemed to have a much better heart than Chunhong and Jia Qing, and Jia Qing personally watched her expression of trying to calm herself down!
"Ha ha!"

Jia Qing sneered and said, "You don't know? Then tell me what's going on with this bowl of lotus seed and white fungus soup!"

This matter must be investigated!Jia Qing has lived in the capital for so long, and has never heard of such a thing.The head of the family was actually poisoned by a maid with a bowl of lotus seed and white fungus soup. It is a terrible thing to think about!

"The lotus seed and white fungus soup was given to me by my grandma. I don't know what happened. If the servant knows that there is something wrong with the soup, the servant will not dare to bring it to the master even if he has 1 guts? The servant is really wronged." of!"

Huang Yan's voice didn't fluctuate at all, and even Jia Qing admired her determination.If there was no such thing as today, Jia Qing would have wanted to take her under his account to work!

But Jia Qing would never believe it if there was a problem with Youshi's soup!

"You have to think clearly before speaking, if I find out that you are lying, not only will you lose your life, but even your family will lose their lives.

So, what do you think about it? "

Hearing that Jia Qing threatened her family, Huang Yan's complexion finally changed a bit, but she still said: "This servant is telling the truth."

"good very good!"

After Jia Qing said this, he stopped talking and turned to look at Jia Jing.

Lai Sheng followed and said, "Should we send someone to invite Grandma over?"

"No, sister-in-law should be here soon, why send someone?" Jia Qing said.

Lai Sheng didn't believe that it was You Shi who wanted to poison Jia Jing, so he stopped talking and went out to disperse the servants.

……

"Grandma, it's bad!"

You Shi, who was anxiously rushing to Ning'an Hall, heard the words, "What's wrong!"

The silver plate was sent by Youshi to inquire about the situation after receiving the news. She said:

"Huang Yan, it's Huang Yan, she just brought soup to the master, I heard that there is something wrong with that soup!
and……"

You Shi anxiously said: "And what?"

Yindie hesitated and said, "Huang Yan also said that grandma asked her to give this soup..."

"what?"

When You Shi heard this, her eyes dimmed, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the servant girl was quick and helped her steady.

"Grandma, what shall we do?"

……

In the back house of Ning'an Hall, the doctor finally came.

But the doctor seemed very reserved and uneasy, and he didn't see a trick after looking at it for a long time. When he asked him how the situation was, he couldn't tell clearly, he was just blindly afraid.

Jia Qing knew what he was afraid of, but he was so incompetent, which made Jia Qing's teeth itch with hatred.

He simply asked him to test the bowl of soup on the ground.

"This soup is poisonous!"

After all, it wasn't completely useless, and asking him to study dead objects would give him the answer quickly.

"What kind of poison?"

The incompetent doctor said: "This old man doesn't recognize the poison, but its poison is very strong, please take a look."

Jia Qing looked over and was speechless!I thought he was useful, but the basis for his poisonous conclusion was... silver needles!
That's right, the silver needle.

This is the simplest and most effective method.

It's not that Jia Qing, Lai Sheng and the others don't know that silverware can be tested for poison, but one is that it is more appropriate to wait for the doctor to come, and the other is that there are poisons that cannot be tested with silver needles.

Jia Qing knew that the silver needle drug test was very unreliable.Because the silver needle can only detect a few highly toxic substances such as arsenic, and it must be mixed with sulfur or sulfide!Silver reacts with sulfur or sulfide to form black silver sulfide, so it can be verified.

That is to say, the ancient production technology was backward, and poisons such as arsenic were basically mixed with sulfide, so it was somewhat useful.

"The poison your lord has suffered is really rare, forgive me for being old and incompetent, I really can't see what it is."

The incompetent doctor saw Jia Qing raised his brows after finishing speaking, and immediately added: "I have already inserted acupuncture points for the master of your house to prevent the poison from spreading... this old man really doesn't know this poison, so he dare not do it rashly, otherwise, If the little old man loses his life, it is a small thing, and if he misses the honorable body of the noble master, then the little old man will die forever."

He was also pitiful, he was having dinner with his family when he was brought here by the servants of Jia's mansion who broke in suddenly.It's just because he is the doctor closest to Ningrong Street.

Jia Qing saw that he really didn't seem to be lying, but he really didn't dare to treat him rashly, so he couldn't help but feel even more worried!
It seems that this is not an ordinary poison.
