Chapter 19 Poisonous Tripterygium vine
  Beisheng sat and waited for Qinghuaju to make a fuss, but an hour later Jingfan and Yan Qing came over and said, "Qinghuaju didn't find Tripterygium vine."

Where would that be?
  That is in my own Qing Ai Garden!
  Bei Sheng stood up and was about to go to his pharmacy. He didn't want to go out when he bumped into Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi brought several servant girls with him, and after meeting Beisheng, he said, "Second girl, the eldest girl said that you have hidden poisonous medicinal materials. Madam is worried about it, so she sent a slave to check it out."

Lu Zhu said hurriedly: "Aunt Ye, although the second girl has set up a small pharmacy, it contains some tonics and beauty-beautifying medicines, and they are all used on the second girl herself. It is impossible to use poisonous medicines."

Beisheng stepped forward and blocked Lu Zhu behind him. Since Xu Nanyin asked Ye Zhi to check, those tripterygium vines must be in Beisheng's yard. It is better to admit them than to deny them.

She smiled and said: "The weather has changed in the past two days. I felt pain in my rheumatic legs, so I asked someone to buy some medicine to treat the leg pain. My sister knew about it before I even used it."

Ye Zhi said: "Where are those medicines? The second girl took the slave to have a look."

Bei Sheng turned to Lu Zhu gently and said, "Open the door of the pharmacy and let Aunt Ye take a look."

Lu Zhu felt guilty and trembling. How could the second girl be sure that Tripterygium wilfordii was in the pharmacy? Besides, the pharmacy was locked when not in use. How did the eldest girl put it in?
  Seeing that the second girl's expression remained unchanged, Lu Zhu took the key and opened the door of the pharmacy. Before opening the door, Lu Zhu checked the door lock and found no signs of prying.

The small room is filled with a dazzling array of medicine jars and a large medicine cabinet. Each drawer is marked with the name of the medicine.

Ye Zhi was stunned. Everyone knew that the second girl took medicine every day and her body was full of medicinal smell, but no one had ever been to the second girl's pharmacy. It was just a small pharmacy.

Beisheng quickly scanned around the pharmacy, and at least he didn't see Tripterygium wilfordii wherever he looked. In such a short period of time, and when there are people in Qing Ai Yuan, the people in Nanyin should not have time to hide the Tripterygium vine deeply.

Beisheng quickly came up with a countermeasure, and said to Ye Zhi with a smile: "What I have here are mostly some health-preserving medicines, and some common medicines for treating bruises. After Guangxin was injured, I asked Jingfan to buy some medicines. If Aunt Ye is worried about the medicine inside, please ask a doctor to take a look and see if the medicine I have here is harmful to you."

Ye Zhi turned around and nodded at a maid behind him, "Go tell Madam and ask for a doctor to come over. The rest of us will stay here."

Bei Sheng glanced around at the servants behind Ye Zhi. They were all ordinary and familiar faces in the house, but one of them looked a little sneaky.

Seeing Wanyue standing at the door of the pharmacy, Bei Sheng called her in, "It's very cold. Go and make some hot tea."

Taking the opportunity, he whispered again: "Let Jing Fan and Yan Qing keep an eye on that fat woman. I guess she has something hidden on her."

Wan Yue understood and turned around.

Beisheng said: "The doctor won't be here for a while. Aunt, please go and wait in the house. Lu Zhu, the door of the pharmacy will be locked later and the key will be given to Aunt Ye for safekeeping."

"That's fine," Ye Zhi nodded, "Second Miss has boiled hot tea for everyone. Let's wait in the room first."

The eldest girl reported to Mrs. Yun that the second girl had hidden poisonous medicinal materials and said that the second girl had the intention to harm others, so Mrs. Yun asked her to bring more people to investigate. Unexpectedly, the second girl was very cooperative and even gave her the key to the pharmacy. .

Ye Zhi left two close servants to guard the door of the pharmacy, while the others went to the main room.

But the fat servant girl was always walking at the back. Bei Sheng winked at Wanyue, and Wanyue smiled and went to help the servant girl, "Slip carefully, I will help you."

"No, no, no, I can walk, how dare I trouble the girl!"

Wan Yue's hand seemed to be supporting her, but in fact it was holding her arm tightly. As she pushed her, a package fell out from under the skirt of the fat servant woman's clothes.

"Ah! My wife dropped something!" Wan Yue quickly picked up the package and shouted loudly.

Everyone immediately turned around and looked over.

"It's nothing, it's the old slave's own rags." The fat servant woman reached out to snatch it from Wan Yue's hand, but Wan Yue dodged it. Wan Yue smiled and said, "Whoever hides rags on his body must be hiding good things."

As soon as she untied the package, two medical bags with stickers fell to the ground.

The snow covered the ground, and the words on the seal were particularly eye-catching: Baiguotang.

The maid at the side picked up the medicine bag before everyone came back to smell it, and hid it under her clothes. She smiled honestly: "I'm not feeling well. I bought medicine outside and didn't have time to put it away. I was sent over here." ."

"Really? Let me see."

Bei Sheng slowly walked down the steps. Yan Qing and Jing Fan quickly grabbed the maid, and Wan Yue reached under the maid's skirt with her cold hands and took out the medicine packet, opened the seal, and spread it out. look.

Tripterygium vine.

No one else knew him, but Beisheng knew him.

Ye Zhi asked in confusion: "Did you just steal the girl's medicine?"

Beisheng said: "How could I buy this medicine in such a good way? This woman is probably here to frame me. It's just that my aunt didn't let them search around, so she didn't have the chance to put this medicine in my room."

"What's going on, Mrs. Liao, tell me quickly!"

Ye Zhi shouted loudly, and Mrs. Liao's legs were so weak that she could no longer stand. As soon as Jing Fan and Yan Qing let go of their hands, she knelt in the snow.

Wan Yue came over and whispered in Bei Sheng's ear: "She and Madam Jia who died before are cousins. Most likely she came here to avenge Madam Jia."

Beisheng nodded silently and asked her to step back.

The cold wind was biting and the snow was falling heavily. Beisheng had people move stools to sit on the porch, and placed a big fire pit at his feet to prevent so many people from freezing while standing on the porch.

Beisheng held Tripterygium wilfordii in her hand and said loudly: "You may not know this medicine, Tripterygium wilfordii, is poisonous, but it is also a good medicine. It is used to treat rheumatism and kidney disease. It's just that some quack doctor gave Mrs. Liao two big bags with skin. Tripterygium vine? This isn’t trying to cure a disease, it’s clearly trying to poison Madam Liao to death!”

Mrs. Liao was trembling in the snow without saying a word. Seeing this, Ye Zhi stepped forward and gave her a slap in the face, "It says Baiguotang on the medicine envelope. You only need to send someone to ask and you will know the whole story. You can take it." Telling the truth can offset the merit, but if I let Madam find out the truth herself, I will beat you to death!"

Mrs. Liao raised her head and said, "I don't know what is poisonous or not. I only boil water to wash my body, not for drinking. Don't accuse me unfairly."

Beisheng took the fire tongs and turned over the charcoal in the brazier. He turned the red and translucent charcoal burning underneath to the surface. He sneered and said, "It's too cold in the snow. Take the charcoal basin and let Madam Liao warm it up."

Jing Fan took the brazier and put it next to Mrs. Liao. Yan Qing grabbed Mrs. Liao's hand and pressed it into the brazier. A group of servants nearby were frightened.

"Say, I say, I say!"

Madam Liao was so frightened that her face was whiter than snow, and she finally relaxed, "Yes, it's the eldest girl. She gave me the medicine. I said she would take it out when Aunt Ye checked on Qing Ai Yuan, and said it was secretly kept by the second girl." Poison, to falsely accuse the second girl of being harmful to others."

Bei Shengteng stood up, walked over, and slapped Mrs. Liao again, "Last time, Mrs. Jia was beaten to death by her mother for estrangement between our sisters. Now you are here to frame my sister again. I can't forgive you! Aunt Ye, hurry up." Tell mother and send her away early!"

"No, no, no! Second lady," Mrs. Liao grabbed the hem of Bei Sheng's skirt and said quickly, "What I said is true. It is the eldest lady who wants to harm you! I am implicated!"

A servant girl next to Ye Zhi quickly went to report to Mrs. Yun. Instead of waiting, Beisheng had someone tie her up and send her directly to Meixiangju.
