Chapter 9
His voice was rough, ringing directly into his ears.

Jiang Wenyu seemed to be confused: "Ah? How could the wrong prescription be given?"

Wu Yinkun was noncommittal, and Chen Sheng took over and said, "It's just a routine inquiry. Please forgive me if I offend the girl."

Chen Sheng calmly scanned the layout of the room, and his eyes were attracted by the herbs placed on the shelf not far away.

"How many years has my cousin studied medicine?"

"About five years." Jiang Wenyu said.

"How many times is this the first time you go out to practice medicine?"

"the first time."

It was really tragic that a murder occurred during his first medical practice.Fortunately, the person I met was Jin Yiwei, otherwise it would have been an unjust, false, and wrong case. Oh no, it should be Mr. Xie.

Chen Sheng muttered in his heart, but his expression didn't change much.

"Why did my cousin come to the clinic for treatment?"

Jiang Wenyu: "My aunt told me that life in the Su Mansion was tight and she asked me to go to the hospital for treatment in order to get some silver, so I went."

Chen Sheng and Wu Yinkun looked at each other, Su Mansion was in a pinch?What a joke.The Su family is famous for being a nouveau riche!

Chen Sheng was silent for a moment and then asked: "According to what my cousin said, the prescription was not written by you, and the handwriting on the prescription is no different from my cousin's handwriting. If someone deliberately imitated my cousin's handwriting, I think it's possible who is it?"

Jiang Wenyu shook his head: "I have never had any conflicts with others, but now I can't think of a reason why."

Qin Yue was in a trance, noticing an unkind gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head, and the hand pouring tea shook, almost spilling the tea.

Wu Yinkun sat aside, his eyes quick and his hands quick to support him.

"Are you burned?" Jiang Wenyu was startled, stood up, and grabbed Qin Yue's hand. The skin was not stained with water, only the red tassel tied to the wrist was stained with the tea liquid.

Jiang Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it, you go to the study first."

Qin Yue lowered her eyes and said she was sorry.

Jiang Wenyu looked at Wu Yinkun and said, "Thank you, sir, for your help. My maid is a little scared."

Chen Sheng looked at Qin Yue's leaving figure, thoughtfully.

Wu Yinkun interrupted and asked: "What disease does Lin Qu have? What medicine did you prescribe?"

"Mr. Lin's spontaneous sweating due to superficial deficiency, sweating, bad wind, and floating and deficient pulse are caused by wind-cold and dampness." Jiang Wenyu said, "The three herbs prescribed are Fangfeng, Astragalus, and Atractylodes to replenish qi, stabilize the surface, and stop sweating. "

After Chen Sheng and Wu Yinkun understood the basic situation, they said goodbye to her politely: "I will stop here for today's inquiries. I won't disturb my cousin. I will stay here."

"Okay, two adults, walk slowly."

Jiang Wenyu stayed where he was, thinking to himself.

At first, apart from the motive for the murder and the complete evidence, it was simple and reasonable for the officials to arrest her.

Jiang Wenyu was at a disadvantage.

Therefore, she needs to rely on Xie Zhiwei to prevent them from torturing her.

Obviously, Xie Zhiwei's reputation was very useful. Not only did she not go to jail, but the Jin Yiwei and the Kaifeng Prefect were also very polite to her.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, the prince believed that she was not the murderer, and he probably discovered something fishy about the case.

Jin Yiwei's hesitant expression made her even more certain that they had discovered something fishy.

Jiang Wenyu remembered that her aunt had informed her one day in advance to see Lin Qu. Normally, people who were critically ill and seeking medical treatment were very urgent and would never ask for treatment the next day.

The other party obviously planned to frame her.After the first time, who knows if there will be a second time?She couldn't wait.

Jiang Wenyu picked up the tea cup on the table. The tea was already cold and tasted a bit astringent.

She put down her teacup and walked into the study.

Qin Yue's ink has almost worn off.

Jiang Wenyu held the pen, held on to the cuff of his sleeve, dipped his body slightly into the inkstone, and put pen to paper on the paper while hanging his wrist.

As she wrote, she said, "I don't know who will imitate my handwriting. Qin Yue, have you found any clues?"

The expression on Qin Yue's face was slightly stiff, and she suddenly smiled and said: "Qin Yue is staying by my cousin's side. I can't imagine that the girl is smarter than Qin Yue, and Qin Yue doesn't even know."

Jiang Wenyu smiled at her: "Yes, you are with me all day long, how could you know."

Qin Yue suddenly felt a cold feeling on her back. She looked back and thought, summer is about to end and the wind has become biting.

*
The sun has set in the west, and the night is like a cage.

The streets and alleys of the capital are already lined with lamp sheds, colorful lanterns, crowded with people, and extremely bustling and noisy.

Jiang Wenyu mingled in the crowd, his dark eyes shining, staring curiously at the surroundings. Finally, he stopped in front of the door of Zhong's Medical Center, raised his skirt and crossed the threshold.

The boy hurriedly ran over to solicit: "Girl, are you here to get some medicine, or to see a doctor?"

Jiang Wenyu held the calligraphy and painting scroll and said with a slight smile: "I'm here to see Uncle Zique."

The boy was new here and didn't know Jiang Wenyu.

He looked at her suspiciously for a while, then stretched out his hand to lead the way: "Girl, follow me."

The backyard of the medical center was open and bright, with light and shadow scattered among the rooms. Jiang Wenyu passed through the two moon gates and saw two old men playing chess.

"Master, we have a visitor." The boy called.

Master Wen and Zhong Zique turned around at the same time and saw Jiang Wenyu with the moonlight on his back, a smile on his face, eyes like the crescent moon, sweetly calling: "Uncle, Master."

Zhong Zique's eyebrows, which were frowned because he lost the chess game, instantly relaxed: "Why do you have time to see us today?"

The boy retreated, and Jiang Wenyu came forward, sat on the stone bench between them, placed the scroll calligraphy and painting next to Mr. Wen, and said sweetly: "I see you two elders, I have to make time even if I don't have time."

"Since we are here to see Mr. Zhong, something must have happened. Mr. Zhong, don't you understand this girl's temperament?" Master Wen joked, "If you have something to do, Mr. Zhong, but nothing, Master." Jiang Wenyu: "Oh, that's right. I feel like a fool."

Zhong Zique: "If His Majesty hears this, we will all lose our heads."

Even though they said this, the smiles on their faces only grew.

After reminiscing about old times, Jiang Wenyu didn't mince words and asked directly: "Have you heard about the murder of Lin Qu, a member of the civil service department?"

Master Wen: "The murder was caused by the poor study of medicine by the cousin of the Su family?"

Jiang Wenyu said helplessly: "I am my cousin."

Wen Fuzi and Zhong Zique paused in holding the chess piece and looked at her in disbelief.

Jiang Wenyu apologized and simply explained: "After my grandfather passed away, I have lived in the Su Mansion. I have never revealed my identity to my elders because it is taboo in my family to publicize it."

Wen Fuzi and Zhong Zique have lived for decades and have seen many scenes. They have experienced everything from civet cats to princes and real and fake daughters.

What surprised them was not her identity, but the murder.

Master Wen winked at Zhong Zique.

The latter shrugged and lowered his eyes with a clear look on his face: "If you have anything, just ask."

Jiang Wenyu was a little surprised: "Uncle, Master, do you believe that I am not a murderer?"

Master Wen and Zhong Zique nodded.

Jiang Wenyu said: "It's really touching that the two elders trust me so unconditionally."

Zhong Zique: "No."

Master Wen: "Based on your IQ, this murder case is too difficult."

Jiang Wenyu: "..."

Wen Fuzi and Zhong Zique were older and well-connected. They knew Lin Qu much better than she did. Moreover, many of the officials in the Zhenfu Si Yamen had studied with Zhong Zique, and they could also inquire about the cause of death.

The night wind was blowing brightly, and the leaves made a rustling sound. Jiang asked Yu Bingshen, "What poison did Lin Qu die from?"

Zhongzi Que: "Arsenic."

"its not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Arsenic poison is usually accompanied by severe abdominal pain, dizziness, and vomiting, but will not lead to immediate death."

Jiang Wenyu continued: "If Lin Qu was poisoned by arsenic, he would have shouted for help when the poison struck. Even if he could not make a sound, he would have struggled. He could not have died peacefully lying on the bed."

In her previous life, the governor of Kaifeng arrested her directly. She had seen Lin Qu's body and there were no unnecessary scars on her body.

Zhong Zique tilted his head, looked at Jiang Wenyu, and said slowly: "Your idea is consistent with the two Jinyi guards who came this morning. However, they used the silver throat detection method, the plum cake method, the glutinous rice poison detection method, etc. The autopsy method and all the responses confirmed that Lin Qu died of arsenic."

Every step is taken with care, and the results cannot be wrong.

Jin Yiwei and Wu Zuo probably also thought the cause of Lin Qu's death was strange, so they came to ask Zhong Zique for advice.

Jiang Wenyu said: "It's not like he was given poison after death."

Kaifeng Mansion did not conduct an autopsy in her previous life, so the case was hastily closed after catching her.I thought the case was simple.

Jiang Wenyu rubbed his face with his palms.

Difficult to deal with... Her suspicion has not been eliminated.

Seeing her troubled look, Master Wen couldn't help but smile: "Girl, why aren't you afraid at all?"

Jiang Wenyu smiled and said, "Because he's still alive."

She asked again: "Have you heard that Lin Qu has any enemies?"

Jiang Wenyu really couldn't think of any enemies he had, so he could only start with Lin Qu.

With such careful preparation, the motive for the murder is almost a vendetta.

Zhong Zique glanced at Master Wen: "This is the right person to ask. Master Wen and Lin Qu were in the same batch of imperial examination students 30 years ago."

Jiang Wenyu really didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

Jiang Wenyu asked: "Master, what is Lin Qu like as a person?"

Master Wen made a condition: "Miss Jiang, if you beat Master Wen in chess, I will tell you everything."

Jiang Wenyu responded briskly: "Okay."

……

He played three games of chess with Master Wen and learned about Lin Qu's life experience from them.

When Jiang Wenyu came out of the medical clinic, the crowd became even quieter.

The night was thick, the evening wind came from all directions, the candlelight swayed, and there were many shadows on the ground.The streets were still noisy and lively, with people coming and going, Jiang Wenyu walked slowly.

She noticed something strange around her and was about to turn around to investigate.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd reached out to her, and Jiang Wenyu subconsciously dodged.

But the opponent's skills were extraordinary, and her movements were as useless as a cricket shaking a tree.

Caught off guard, Jiang Wenyu’s mouth and nose were covered!
Judging from the size of his palm, the other person was obviously a man. She tried to break free from the confinement, but his arm was as hard as an iron chain, locking her tightly!
Jiang Wenyu's back suddenly slammed into a strong chest, and a voice like a frosty sword sounded in her ears, cold and threatening.

"do not move!"
