Abandoning a daughter never abandons, a medical concubine should be self-reliant

Chapter 87

Gao Qiji ordered Yue Yang to call the person on duty that day, and cut straight to the point: "What happened that night?"

The man on duty at night was a fat man, who was shaking and swishing with fright, his fat body trembling wildly, his tongue was tied and he couldn't speak.

The pockmarked man who was still on duty during the day kowtowed and took the lead in answering: "My lord, during the day, two people who looked like businessmen wandered around the embankment for a while and were driven away by the younger one.

Because people who are concerned about the water situation often stay and watch on weekdays, the younger ones don't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, they are very suspicious! "

After Ma Ziyan said this, the fat man bravely replied: "My lord, Zhang Hu and the younger one were supposed to be on duty together the night before yesterday, but he had a bad stomach and asked for leave temporarily, leaving only the younger one to patrol the place." River, but for some reason, the little one fell asleep."

"You usually sleep deeply and don't wake up easily?" Gao Qiji asked.

The fat man shook his head again and again, "My lord, although the young one is fat, he is not a lazy person. He is not a light sleeper, but he has never been unable to wake up from sleep. It is the first time he has fallen asleep like he did the night before."

Gao Qiji didn't say a word, and tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, waiting for him to continue to answer.

The fat man glanced at the man with the pockmarked face, and said: "Just now Lu Que said that there were two merchants wandering around the embankment during the day, and the younger one also remembered that night, the younger one ate a bowl of noodles with fried sauce and put wine in a wine bag Here, the person who shared the table with me and ate noodles looked like a businessman.

The younger one considered that he would be on duty at night to patrol the river, so he didn't drink at night, and at the end of Haishi, the younger one was so sleepy that his eyelids were cricking, so he just took a sip of strong wine to stimulate him, unexpectedly..."

"Is the wine still there?" Gao Qiji asked suddenly.

The fat man thought for a while, and said: "Yes, that day when I woke up, the dike broke and the water burst. I didn't dare to drink for two days, and the wine bag was still in my residence."

Gao Qiji ordered someone to fetch the wine sac, he poured out the remaining wine in a bowl, sniffed it lightly, put down the bowl with a frown, and stared at the liquid.

Yue Yang was puzzled, he leaned forward and asked: "My lord, what's wrong?"

"The wine was drugged with perspiration!" Gao Qiji affirmed.

Yue Yang picked it up and smelled it, wondering, "Is there anything unusual?"

"The pungent and pungent smell of the wine can cover up the smell of the Mongolian sweat medicine, and you can hardly smell it, but generally the wine that has been drugged will appear yellowish in color. Take a close look at the wine in this bowl!" Gao Qiji explained.

Yue Yang took a closer look, and found that the color of the wine was yellowish, and he was stunned, "My lord is wise, Yue Yang has been taught!"

The fat man and the pockmarked Lu Que also directly called the prince amazing.

Afterwards, the fat man patted his big head, suddenly realized, "I said, how can there be a man who can't smell alcohol?"

"What's the matter, tell me!" Yue Yang urged.

The fat man was very annoyed, and he said slowly: "At that time, the little one took out the wine cork and smelled the tempting aroma of the wine. He couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to take a sip, but the merchant opposite grabbed the cork away. He directly covered the wine bag for me, and apologized to me with a smiling face, saying that he was sick with alcohol, and that he would develop alcohol ringworm when he smelled alcohol.

The little one was skeptical, but seeing his sincere thanks and the fact that he had to be on duty at night, he refrained from drinking.

Looking back now, he is the only one who has touched my wine bag, so he must have given the sweat medicine. "

Another merchant!Well, none of this is a coincidence.

I'm afraid that the merchants are just pretending, they are very likely to be from the enemy country!
"Both of you carefully recall the appearances of the three peddlers. My king asked someone to draw their portraits and offer a reward for their arrest! In addition, from now on, we will strictly investigate all peddlers entering and leaving the city." Gao Qiji ordered immediately.

Not long after the reward notice was posted, someone came to provide clues, and this person was none other than Xiao Hua.

She and Xiaocui went out to buy rouge and gouache, and saw the people on the street discussing the newly posted notice, thinking that there must be another thief and fugitive, so she didn't want to pay attention to it.

But when she heard words such as Xingshang and Shuowang, she couldn't help but stop, unable to move!

Quickly turned around, pushed aside the crowd and read it closely.

When she saw the portrait on the notice, she curled her lips contemptuously.

Presumably, they have already left the city!
Yes, she recognized those people!
Then, it's time for her to show up.

Until Gao Qiji stood in front of Gao Qiji after dressing up meticulously, her face was still full of joy that couldn't be concealed.

If she provided Gao Qiji with clues to solve his problems, would he be able to look at her more and talk to her more?

Xiao Hua bowed his knees and gave a very standard ceremony, his makeup and demeanor were so perfect that no one could pick a single fault.

But Gao Qiji didn't have time to find fault with her, so he said nonchalantly, looked at her for a moment, and asked directly: "How many merchants have you met?"

Xiao Hua blushed when he saw him, and replied shyly: "Yes, my lord, I have seen them in the nunnery, there are six of them, and the leader is the young master Ouyang Yunqi."

"Ouyang Yunqi...Ouyang Yunqi?" Gao Qiji repeated. It seemed that the famous merchant family did not have this surname, so it seemed that it was an alias.

Xiao Hua nodded shyly, "Exactly, when this Ouyang Yunqi was sent away, he was rejected by many medical centers and pharmacies. It took a three-pronged approach to snatch him back from Lord Yan!"

It turned out that he was the young man Li Siqi revived with medicine bath.

Did he save a disaster?

Seeing that Gao Qiji listened seriously, Xiao Hua thought that the information he provided was useful, deeply attracted him, and felt a little complacent.

However, Gao Qiji's next series of fatal questions left her speechless.

"Is Ouyang Yunqi's real name?"

"Where are they from?"

"What business are they doing?"

"Are they still in the capital? Where would they go if they weren't in the capital?"

Xiao Hua: ...

She had indeed had contact with him a few times, but she didn't seem to be that familiar, and she couldn't answer any of the questions Gao Qiji asked.

Pulling the handkerchief embarrassingly, she replied shyly: "My lord, I only had contact with them a few times when I was helping in the nunnery, and I didn't know them very well, and then the carriage from the general's mansion came to pick them up, so I left first After a few days, I don’t know what happened to them in the end.”

Gao Qiji frowned slightly. Apart from knowing that these people had contracted the disease and were cured by Li Siqi, there was no useful information about it!It still doesn't do anything to catch them!

However, Li Siqi took a lot of effort to cure Ouyang Yunqi, so would she know more about their information?
Just thinking of this, Lei Ming came back in a panic.

He has always been calm, rarely showing such anxiety today.

Gao Qiji secretly felt something was wrong!
Lei Ming approached, disregarding the others who were still standing, plopped on his knees, and reported: "My lord, Miss Li is missing!"

At the first smell, Gao Qiji felt his brain bursting, and he was in a state of chaos.

He rubbed his swollen temples, trying to stay calm.

And Xiao Hua next to him heard the words, as if he had expected all this a long time ago, not only did he not have any surprise or surprise expression, he even raised the corners of his lips presumptuously at an angle that Gao Qiji couldn't see.

That person did not disappoint her!

Gao Qiji stared at Lei Ming with frowned, and asked coldly, "Didn't you go to protect her? Why did you disappear?"
