Ye Bufan thought so, and others did not have any doubts. After all, being able to pull Zhai Tianfang back from the Yama Palace was already very rare. Even Xue Guanghe, who was known as a miracle doctor, could not do this.
Zhai Tianfang said gratefully: "We have Dr. Lao Ye."
Ye Bufan said: "The city lord has just recovered from a serious illness and is still very weak. You should pay more attention to rest."
Zhai Gang nodded, waved his hand, and several warriors came over immediately and sent Zhai Tianfang to other rooms to rest.
Liu Meiniang followed and prepared to leave, but was blocked by Zhai Lingxiu.
She couldn't help but her expression changed: "What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing. Auntie, don't leave in a hurry. Let's discuss my father's condition together."
Zhai Gang's tone was very calm, but there was a chill in his eyes. The strangeness of the jade pendant had already made him suspicious of this matter.
Liu Meiniang snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction, but did not speak again.
Zhai Gang looked at Ye Bufan again: "Doctor Ye, can you tell everyone what is going on with my father's condition?"
Now everyone no longer has the previous contempt, but is full of conviction. After all, he is really capable.
Ye Bufan said: "The root cause of the city lord's illness is actually not an illness at all, but someone who poisoned him, a poison called fire dragon grass.
Fire dragon grass is very toxic, and it is difficult to treat once the fire poison enters the body, but this is not the most troublesome.
The most important thing was the jade pendant, which completely covered up the scent of fire dragon grass, making everyone mistakenly think that he was suffering from cold syndrome, and ultimately misled the direction of treatment.
To put it bluntly, if I hadn’t come here today, I’m afraid the city lord’s life would have been numbered.”
Everyone around him nodded, agreeing with his words.
Even Xue Guanghe thought that the city lord had a cold syndrome. If Ye Bufan hadn't taken action in time, the consequences today would have been disastrous.
Ye Bufan continued: "So putting these together, I think this is a game, a game to assassinate the Lord of the City."
After he said this, everyone's expressions changed. If all this was done deliberately by someone and targeted the city lord Zhai Tianfang, then the problem would be serious.
Assassinating the city lord, if caught, would undoubtedly be a capital crime.
Zhai Gang's expression became more and more gloomy, and his eyes fell on Liu Meiniang: "Auntie, you have been staying with my father recently. Who poisoned my father? Do you have a guess?"
His words were quite reserved, but everyone could see that he had begun to doubt Liu Meiniang. After all, this woman had always been by Zhai Tianfang's side, and she held the greatest suspicion.
"What do you mean? Are you doubting me?"
Liu Meiniang put on an expression of anger and grievance, "How could I poison my husband? Besides, if it was me who poisoned him, it would be impossible for my brother to ask for Doctor Xue."
"You're right, I'm just doubting you."
Zhai Lingxiu stood up. Although she was a rough-looking woman, her mind was extremely smart.
Ye Bufan has made the matter so clear. If he can't see any more clues, he won't be worthy of leading troops to fight.
"The reason why you sent someone to ask Divine Doctor Xue to come over is because you felt that he couldn't figure out this situation, and it would be easier for you to cover it up when the time comes.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Xue Guanghe not only failed to cure my father, but almost harmed him. If I hadn't invited Dr. Ye, I might have let you succeed today."
"Zhai Lingxiu, you are slandering others and you are wronging me."
Liu Meiniang suddenly started crying pitifully, "Although I have been staying by my husband's side, I really didn't poison him, and I don't know who did it."
Zhai Gang looked gloomy, unmoved at all, and continued to ask: "You can say you don't know about the poisoning, but as for the jade pendant on my father's body, as far as I know, it seems that you put it on my father.
"
"Yes, I did give the jade pendant to my husband, but I didn't know there was something wrong with it."
Liu Meiniang said pitifully, "My husband was on the battlefield, and I was always worried about him, so I bought this jade pendant to pray for his safety, and even made a special trip to the temple to ask a master to consecrate it.
But I didn’t expect it to turn out like this, but I really don’t know what happened.”
Zhai Gang frowned. There was something wrong with this jade pendant. Liu Meiniang had given it to her father. It happened to be around the time of the illness, so she was naturally the most suspicious.
But this is just a suspicion. Without evidence, it is impossible to determine whether it was the other party.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Ye Bufan said: "Madam City Lord, your acting is really good. Do you think that as long as you don't admit it, the matter will not be exposed?"
"Boy, what are you talking about? If you dare to slander me again, believe it or not, I will kill you?"
Liu Meiniang suddenly became furious. She could do nothing to help the Zhai brothers and sisters, but she did not take a little doctor seriously.
Zhai Lingxiu asked happily: "Dr. Ye, did you see something?"
Ye Bufan said noncommittally: "I am a doctor. I am naturally very sensitive to the smell of medicinal herbs, and the city lord's wife happens to have the smell of this medicinal herb."
"What?"
Everyone present was shocked. Now it is certain that what Zhai Tian injected was the poison of fire dragon grass. If Liu Meiniang has the smell of this herb again, it will basically be an ironclad proof.
The panic in Liu Meiniang's eyes flashed away, and then she shouted loudly: "Nonsense, you are taking the opportunity to take revenge, because I wanted to kill you before, so you want to take revenge on me.
In all my life, I have never seen what Fire Dragon Grass is, how could it smell like it?"
Finally, she cried and looked at Zhai Gang: "Since you brothers and sisters believe in an outsider and don't believe in me, you can just search and see if I have that fire dragon grass on me.
Anyway, I am just a stepmother, and you have never regarded me as a relative, so you might as well just kill me..."
"this……"
Zhai Gang looked troubled. From the bottom of his heart, he believed what Ye Bufan said.
But no matter what, Liu Meiniang is also his stepmother and has a special status. If nothing is found, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to his father in the future.
Zhai Lingxiu didn't care about that and stepped forward directly and said, "I'll search."
As she said this, she was about to step forward to take action, but was stopped by Ye Bufan.
"It's useless to search. The fire dragon grass is not on her body."
"Boy, I said this is revenge and slandering me. I will fight you."
Liu Meiniang cried and rushed over. Ye Bufan stepped aside and said calmly: "Mrs. City Lord, please stop making trouble. Although the Fire Dragon Grass is not on you, I know where it is?"
Zhai Lingxiu looked anxious: "Brother Ye, please tell me where it is?"
Everyone else also looked over. If they find the Fire Dragon Grass, they will not be far from the truth of the matter.
Liu Meiniang's eyes flashed with panic again, and she couldn't help but secretly glance at Liu Guosheng next to her.
