Chapter 38 Incense Burner Poison Bureau
"Brother Gu, what did you just say that someone wants to blame me?"

"Oh, that's right. The third brother just drank the leftover herbal tea from yesterday and was not poisoned, so we suspect that someone poisoned the tea for the purpose of blaming you."

Song Guichen couldn't help being shocked: "Then the mechanism in the west lake is also for blaming me?"

"Probably not." Gu Yi said, "At present, it seems that the mechanism on the bamboo pole and the poison in the tea should be two different groups of assassinations. One group of people set up a bamboo pole bow mechanism in the lake, while the other group made the tea To become poisonous is also to poison Lord Wang to death."

"This……"

Several people were surprised and suspicious when they heard what he said. Du Qingshan noticed the mystery in Gu Yi's words, and asked aloud: "Brother Gu said 'make tea poisonous', what does this mean?"

Gu Yi looked outside the door, and pondered: "Yesterday Cui Niang drank tea and developed symptoms of poisoning, but today I also drank this tea, but nothing happened. That is to say, the tea was poisonous yesterday, but today it is poisonous." Non-toxic."

"Yesterday was poisonous, but today is not poisonous?"

"That's right." Gu Yi walked towards the screen, picked up a pinch of incense ash, and said to Song Guichen, "Miss Xiaochen, you know medicine, come and see what this incense ash is? I don’t know what kind of incense is burning in this censer.”

Last night, Song Guichen took the initiative to ask Ying to heal Wang Qinruo and the other three who were shot by arrows. Gu Yi was impressed by her way of treating the wounds, so he also knew that she was good at medicine.

Song Guichen stepped forward, dipped his index finger in the burnt incense ash in the censer, put it in his nose, sniffed it, frowned and said, "The main ingredient of incense used in Shuocuilou is usually sandalwood, the incense ash In addition to sandalwood, there seems to be Bianhua in it."

"The other shore flower?"

"Well, this is a strange flower from the Western Regions. It always grows leaves after the flowers wither. The flowers and leaves are destined to never meet, so people call it 'Bi'an flower'.

"The peculiarity of this flower is that the flowers and leaves are non-toxic and can be used as spices, but once the flowers and leaves meet, they will become highly poisonous, so this flower is also called 'Huangquan Guidance Flower'."

"Huangquan leads the way." Gu Yi sighed in a low voice, "It really led the way to Huangquan. I thought the assassination method of the bamboo pole mechanism in the lake was already extremely ingenious, but I didn't expect there to be such a clever killing method as the incense burner poison bureau."

If it wasn't for the mechanism of the bamboo pole and crossbow being activated first, which disrupted the scene and prevented Wang Qinruo from drinking the tea, Wang Qinruo would already be dead at this moment.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean, someone killed someone with a mixture of Bana flowers and leaves?"

Gu Yi nodded, turned around abruptly, filtered out the tea from the teapot on the table, and poured out the tea residue. Seeing this, everyone gathered together.

After a while, he found a few leaves that were different from the tea leaves in the tea. Song Guichen checked it carefully, and said with a dark face, "It's the leaves of the other side flower."

"This—" Gu Ziying looked at Song Guichen with wide eyes, and Song Guichen shook his head slowly, "I definitely didn't put this leaf in the tea."

"I believe in Miss Xiaochen." Gu Yi said solemnly, "Now that we know why Cuiniang was poisoned, the next thing to do is to find out who mixed the other leaves into Miss Xiaochen's tea, and who Put the other shore flower into the incense burner.

"Yesterday, the stairs on the third floor were full of officers and soldiers. Most people couldn't come up, but there were not a few of them including bartenders and other guests. It was difficult to check for those who could throw Bianhua flowers into the incense burner.

"However, there are not many people in the back kitchen who have access to tea. I ask Miss Xiaochen to recall carefully. When making tea yesterday, who has been in contact with your tea?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Guichen expectantly.

Song Guichen listened to what he said just now, and his analysis was well-founded and convincing, and he was full of admiration and admiration for a while.

At this time, seeing him looking at him earnestly again, Song Guichen blushed for a while, and hurriedly turned around and walked to the west fence to make a memory.

oh my god!How come Brother Gu is so good-looking!

Still looking at me so affectionately!
Song Guichen blew a gust of wind against the lake, and finally calmed down the turmoil in his heart. He frowned solemnly, turned around and said, "When I was making tea yesterday, the only ones in front of me were Aunt Mu and Yueyue. The tea leaves are Yueyue handed it to me, and I..."

"What happened then?" Gu Ziying asked anxiously.

"At that time, someone was singing in the lake. I found it interesting. I sang a duet with him, and I didn't pay attention to whether other things were mixed in the tea."

"That's it." Gu Yi nodded and said, "Yesterday there was indeed someone singing in the lake, and everyone on the third floor heard it, and also heard the echoing voice from the back kitchen, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Xiaochen In response."

Song Guichen became shy in a rare way, coughed dryly, and said seriously: "I just thought it was interesting, so I just answered it casually, there is no other meaning."

Du Qingshan looked at Song Guichen's shy look with great interest from behind, and slandered in his heart:
I thought she would always have a fierce and unforgiving look, but I didn't expect to be so... um, such a mother in front of Brother Gu?

If Song Guichen knew what he was thinking, he would definitely refute loudly:

Hey, she was originally a girl, okay?What mother are you talking about?
"Speaking of this, does Brother Gu know who the person who sang in the lake yesterday?"

"It's a monk wearing a monk's robe and a bamboo hat. It's too far away from the third floor. I can't see it clearly, but I guess it's a monk from Lingyin Temple in Gushan."

"It's really him."

"Who is it? Miss Xiaochen knows the monks of Lingyin Temple?"

Gu Yi didn't know Song Guichen's real identity, but seeing her like this, he obviously knew the monk who sang in the lake yesterday.

Looking back at Du Qingshan again, he remembered that when he was on the boat a few days ago, Du Qingshan said that Miss Xiaochen had strange and bizarre secrets and asked him to ask him in person.

Gu Yi became more and more suspicious.

Song Guichen didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he quickly shook his head to cover it up: "Oh, before Du Qingshan... oh no, brother Du took me to Gushan, where we met a monk."

Du Qingshan secretly slandered again in his heart: Why don't I remember meeting a monk on the lonely mountain?
Gu Yi laughed, the little girl in front of her would not lie at all.

However, this matter has nothing to do with the assassination case, and Gu Yi was not in a hurry to find other people's secrets, so he just nodded and said, "Well, please trouble Miss Xiaochen to take me to the back kitchen for a while, I have a few words to ask Ask Chef Yueyue."

This is casting suspicious eyes on Yueyue.

Although Song Guichen didn't want to believe that Yueyue did it, but at this moment all the evidence pointed to her, and he couldn't help but not believe it, so he nodded and followed what Yi said.

Not long ago, when Wang Qinruo ordered her to be an old clam with pearls, the mussels in the back kitchen suddenly disappeared. Song Guichen already suspected that the people in the back kitchen did it. At that time, she also suspected Yueyue, but she never confirmed it. .

At this moment, Song Guichen's heart felt a little cold.

Why does Yueyue do this?
　emmmmm good night :)
