Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 098 At the time of death.

At noon at this time, the fog in front of the Herb King's Cottage had already dissipated. Standing in the Herb King's Cottage and looking out, I could just see the stream in front of the door.

In the mourning hall, the atmosphere was much more awkward.

Although Murong Changqing and Ximen Long agreed with Hwarang to question them, they felt somewhat unhappy, and Hwarang also felt uncomfortable when he asked them.

In the hearts of the two of them, they must want to say, how good Master is to them, how could they poison Master to death?

But no matter what, they all have to be interrogated by Hwarang.

After everyone sat down, Hwarang glanced at everyone, and then asked, "I want to know who found the corpse?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Murong Changqing. Murong Changqing got up and said: "It was the first corpse I found. I remember it was at noon yesterday. I went to ask Master to eat, but knocked After knocking on the door for several times, no one answered, I was a little worried, so I pushed the door open, and when I opened the door, I found Master lying on the table, dead."

After Murong Changqing finished speaking, he sat down again, and he didn't notice anything unusual in his expression.

Afterwards, Hwarang continued to ask, "Where were the others at that time?"

Ximen Long got up and replied: "At that time, one of my disciples and I were refining medicine in the room, and the other disciples were eating. We all have proof of our alibi."

After hearing Ximen Long's words, Hwarang's brows were furrowed again, and he continued to ask after a long time, "Did anyone else come to your Herb King's Cottage?"

Murong Changqing shook his head: "No, there was none all day yesterday. Our Herb King's Cottage seldom interacts with the outside world, and we don't allow anyone to enter casually, because there are a lot of herbs in it. If it is messed up, it will kill the patient if it is eaten. , so we never let outsiders in.”

This also makes sense, Hua Lang thought for a while, and said, "If someone sneaks in, will you find out?"

"Of course we will find out that our Herbal King's Cottage is not very big, and there are many people there. If a person sneaks in, we can't fail to find it." Ximen Long looked at Hualang and said with certainty.

Although Hwarang came to Yaowang Caolu not long ago, the layout inside has already been figured out. The truth is exactly as Ximenlong said, if outsiders break in, they will be discovered.

But what if the person who broke in changed his face?

Therefore, Hwarang did not rule out the possibility that the murderer was an outsider.

After asking like this, Hwarang asked again: "At that time, the medicine king Ye Feng fell in his room, did you hear any noise?"

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't hear any sound.

"Have you met anyone suspicious?"

Everyone shook their heads again.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Hua Lang finally asked to see the room of the medicine king Ye Fengluo, and this request was not too much, so Murong Changqing and Ximen Long led everyone there.

On the way there, Hwarang found that Yaowang's house was some distance from everyone's house, or isolated, which created a possibility that if the murderer came to the room of Medicine King Ye Fengluo to kill, the others would not Sounds may be heard, and rarely seen.

Murong Changqing opened the door and invited everyone to enter the room. After entering the room, Hua Lang found that the room of Ye Fengluo, the king of medicine, was very large. There were various medicinal herbs in it, and on the table in the middle of the room, there were also some Seeing this unknown medicinal material, Hwarang asked, "Did the body of the King of Medicine lie on this table at that time?"

Murong Changqing nodded again and again: "That's right."

When he came to the table, Hwarang took a look at the herbs on the table, and found that many of the herbs had been bitten. He picked up the herbs and asked, "Is the king of medicine trying to taste the herbs?" ?”

Ximen Long nodded again and again: "That's right, Master has been adding types of medicinal materials to his book "Hundred Herbs Classic", and it is also to verify the characteristics of the herbs. He will taste them himself."

After hearing Ximenlong's words, Hwarang couldn't help admiring the medicine king. Throughout the ages, a doctor who is willing to taste a hundred herbs must have a heart for the people in need.

In ancient times, Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, and in Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen tasted all kinds of herbs. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Hwarang discovered another medicine king who tasted all kinds of herbs. Unfortunately, this medicine king died.

When he thought of dying, Hwarang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at the crowd and said, "You know medicine, come and see, these herbs on the table are poisonous, or if you mix them together, you will be poisoned and die." of?"

After hearing Hua Lang's words, everyone immediately understood that Ye Fengluo, the medicine king, was poisoned while tasting the herbs, so he probably ate poisonous herbs by mistake and died of poisoning.

Murong Changqing, Ximen Long, and Gongsun Ce came to the table, carefully examined the herbs on the table, and kept saying the names of the herbs and whether they were poisonous or not.

"Wild vermicelli, pungent, warm, and non-toxic, can cure chronic wind in the head and cough."

"Snake bed, bitter, flat, non-toxic, can't cure yang."

"Sweet rosin, sweet, warm, non-toxic, cures heartache, abdominal pain and fullness, spleen stagnation..."

Murong Changqing and Ximen Long, Gongsun Ce, told the herbs one by one, but these herbs are non-toxic, but when Hua Lang felt a little disappointed, Ximen Long suddenly said: : "Xu Changqing, also known as Gui Du You, Bie Xian Zong, spicy, warm, non-toxic..."

As soon as Ximen Long said this, Wen Meng, Hua Wan'er and others were a little disappointed, and he was non-toxic, but when everyone was disappointed, Ximen Long continued: "It has not been confirmed whether Xu Changqing is poisonous. People think it is non-toxic, but Tao Hongjing, a medical master during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, said in his book "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" that Xu Changqing is poisonous, but no one dared to try it in later generations, so no one knows whether it is poisonous or not."

After Ximen Long finished speaking, everyone was extremely excited. If what Ximen Long said was true, then the medicine king Ye Fengluo might just want to see if Xu Changqing was really poisonous, so he tried it, but who knew Xu Changqing was really poisonous, The medicine king Ye Fengluo died suddenly after taking it.

But just when everyone thought that the medicine king Ye Fengluo died on Xu Changqing's herb, Hua Lang shook his head and said, "I don't think it is possible for the medicine king to die on this Xu Changqing's herb. I have heard of this herb too. Although it may be poisonous, but the toxicity is not very strong, and use Xu Changqing Banliang, Maogen Sanfen, Mu Tong, Mallow Seeds each one, Talc Two Liang, Betel Nut Legacy, Wheat Ear Half Liang, decoct in water, add Pu Nitrate one Money, warm clothes can cure urinary obstruction, if you think about this kind of herbal medicine, it won't kill you."
