Chapter 42 Suspects

In the abandoned low house behind the Kuguan camp, it was dark and humid, with only a small nailed window that let in a little light.

The five people from Tianxiang Pavilion were imprisoned here.

"It's getting dark, if you don't get the antidote tomorrow morning, the major general and those soldiers won't be able to wake up..." Qu Zhenzhen bowed her head while hugging her knees, muttering to herself.

The room was silent, and no one answered.

Pavilion Master Li was anxious to cause trouble for his master, so he didn't hear what Qu Zhenzhen was talking about.He originally wanted to take over the profitable business of offering incense to the imperial army, and at the same time get close to the imperial army to get some help, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also annoyed his master... Hey, who the hell, What a wicked thing you did!
Bai Huijin looked at the small window, wondering what she was thinking.

Luo Wushuang was very conflicted at the moment, she didn't want to see her die, but she also didn't want to risk her own life and hole cards in vain, after all, with her identity, it was impossible to have an antidote.

Ji Xuan seemed to be still the same, he was the first to break the silence: "Master, I have a lot of incense in Tianxiang Pavilion, don't I have those three herbs?"

Pavilion Master Li glared at him: "The Master of Xiangzhai you have never found these, how can there be in my Pavilion?"

Ji Xuan touched his head and smiled.Pavilion Master Li sighed and said: "Hey, even if there is one now, I dare not give it casually!"

Luo Wushuang nodded, why didn't she think so.

Blame it on the person who poisoned it, what kind of heart does he have?Is it to poison the imperial army, or to frame Tianxiang Pavilion?Or is it both?
If he just wanted to poison the imperial army, it would be a good idea to add poison to the mosquito repellent incense. After all, the food in the military camp needs to be tested with silver needles before eating, so it is too easy to be discovered... Then he hit it by mistake Did you put on mosquito repellent incense?

"No!" Luo Wushuang exclaimed in surprise, "That person must be someone who is familiar with both the Forbidden Barracks and Tianxiang Pavilion!"

Hearing Luo Wushuang's loud voice, the other four looked at her in surprise, not knowing why.

Luo Wushuang didn't care too much, and she analyzed it carefully for everyone: "Just now I saw the mosquito repellent incense in the warehouse, the surface is clean, and there is no extra incense, so the phantom incense should be based on Perfume is applied on the surface of mosquito coils. Why do poisoners choose perfume instead of incense powder? It is not easy to mix incense powder with incense sticks and coil incense, and once perfume is mixed with incense sticks or incense powder, it will make it Deterioration, even ordinary coiled incense, is relatively easy to deform. But the mosquito repellent incense is hard, and after a thin layer of water is applied, it will not be deformed, and it is not easy to be found..."

"So, that person has spotted the mosquito repellent incense for a long time!" Qu Zhenzhen suddenly understood and said first.

Luo Wushuang nodded: "That's right, the production of incense powder is simple, and the craft of perfume is very complicated. It must have been prepared more than ten days in advance, or even earlier. If you can get the news so early, then it must be someone who is familiar with Tianxiang Pavilion The mosquito repellent incense was in good condition when we delivered it, so this person must have been manipulated later, and he must be able to stay in the warehouse for a long time... If it is not a soldier from the warehouse management battalion, then it is a handyman here!"

Luo Wushuang's analysis has reached this point, and she is very close to the truth, but she always feels that she still seems to have overlooked something, but she can't remember it...

Pavilion Master Li thought for a moment, then said coldly: "Luo Wushuang, even though you are a newcomer to Tianxiang Pavilion, you can be regarded as someone who understands Tianxiang Pavilion, and the mosquito repellent incense was sent to the military camp by you and Qu Zhenzhen. When was the poison poisoned, and only you who know Huanxiang so well will know, right?"

Luo Wushuang was taken aback when she heard the words, her heart suddenly seemed to have lost a piece: "Pavilion Master, are you suspicious of me?" Ever since Luo Zixuan and her family came to make trouble last time, and the Pavilion Master stepped forward to block back, she I have always been grateful and respectful to Pavilion Master Li from the bottom of my heart, and I never thought that the Pavilion Master would suspect her.

"Hmph, anyone will suspect you!" Pavilion Master Li looked a little angry.

Luo Wushuang felt relieved after hearing this, knowing that Pavilion Master Li was beating her.She really didn't notice that she only focused on analyzing the truth, but let herself fall into a huge suspicion. It's no wonder that General Wu wanted to be suspicious.

Qu Zhenzhen jumped up when she heard the words: "My lord, I don't doubt Luo Wushuang, I can assure you that she definitely didn't do it! I've been with her all this time, if you don't believe me, you can ask Master Ji! "

Pavilion Master Li looked at Ji Xuan, pointed at the two of them and said, "Look, I sold you too!"

Hearing this, Qu Zhenzhen also knew that Pavilion Master Li was not really suspicious, and then realized that she was also one of the major suspects that General Wu said, so she scratched her head in embarrassment and stopped talking.

"You girl, you really know too much!" Bai Huijin looked at Luo Wushuang, and there seemed to be reproach in her words: "Let me ask you, how did you know it was Huanxiang just now? I have never seen this fragrance before, how did you know about it?"

Luo Wushuang has been waiting for this question since she uttered the word "Huanxiang". She calmly said, "Master, it's all because my mother gave me a natural good nose with a lot of fragrance. You only need to smell it from a distance with your nose, and you can tell. Coincidentally, my parents traveled all over the world and brought back many exotic flowers and herbs and fragrances for me to see. Among them are the magic fragrance and the taste of making it Raw materials. My mother said that the phantom incense will not produce any toxicity if it is not burned, but once it is burned, it can cause hallucinations to death, so although I only smelled it once, I was very impressed."

Bai Huijin nodded and said: "It's really a coincidence. It seems that Lingtang has a deep knowledge of Xiang. I wonder if I can tell you my name? Maybe it's an old friend."

Although Luo Wushuang's incident was made up, her mother did show her a lot of spices when she was young. Although she never taught her how to make incense, her love and intuition for incense was probably cultivated little by little in this way.So when she mentioned her mother, she was still very proud, so she replied loudly: "My mother's name is Sima Ruixiang. She used to help my father run our Luojia incense shop, and has been running her own small business in a low-key way. Master, you may You don't necessarily know, do you?"

Even though Luo Wushuang said so, he still hoped that the master and the others would know something about their parents, and he had some expectations in his heart.

Bai Huijin thought about it intently, but it seemed that she had never heard of this character. Unexpectedly, Ji Xuan said in surprise: "Your mother is Sima Ruixiang, so the father must be Luo Zongqing?"

"That's right, Master Ji, do you know them?" Luo Wushuang asked with some joy.

However, things are not as Luo Wushuang imagined, Ji Xuan has never had any contact with her parents...
