There are many ways to harm people, and poisoning is one of the most secretive and difficult to detect.
But poisoning people will eventually leave evidence.
If you use a silver needle to detect poison or a rice ball to detect poison, you can be found out quickly.
But this method of ink-scented harming people is indeed traceable - she uses porcelain powder.
Smash the white porcelain bowl into fine powder, mix it into flour and rice noodles, and make food for Lin Ruhai to eat.
Jia Lian was confused:
Eating porcelain powder will kill people? I have never heard of this.
"Who taught you this method?"
Mo Xiang was trembling all the time: "Master Jiang's disciple, he asked me to only put in a small amount every time, saying... that as long as it accumulates slowly, no one can find out using this method.
I was also afraid, and I didn’t dare to let him go any longer. After more than a month, Mr. Lin turned black and became thinner and thinner as they said."
Jia Lian suddenly realized!
Suddenly a cold sweat broke out down my back.
Too cruel!
Lin Ruhai has black stools every day. This is chronic internal bleeding!
Porcelain powder is not toxic, but it will gradually accumulate, scratch the inner mucosa, and cause gastrointestinal bleeding. If it continues, the person will soon become weak and die.
At this time, the forensic autopsy was not done in detail, so it would definitely not be able to find out the cause of death, which was similar to a chronic disease.
This is too terrible, killing without blood and killing without leaving traces.
Lin Ruhai was getting weaker day by day, and she guessed that she had been poisoned by the people around her, but she didn't know that there was a more sinister and traceless trick than poisoning.
"Sir, please spare my life. I am not the one who wants to harm others. I am forced to do nothing.
My family was originally a boat owner in Zhenjiang. In the first few years, Mr. Jiang took my parents to Yangzhou and worked in his house.
My younger brother is ten years old this year and has loved reading since he was a child. However, because he is a slave, my younger brother cannot take the scientific examination.
Mr. Jiang said that if this happens, he will let my whole family go back to his hometown, and my younger brother will be able to take the scholar examination."
"In order for your brother to be a scholar, you have to kill a prostitute with your own hands?" Jia Lian sneered at the corner of his mouth.
.
Is this Mo Xiang pitiful?
Not pathetic!
What murderer doesn’t have a story?
What bad guy doesn’t have any relatives?
Which person living in this world doesn’t have any ideas about what’s going on?
You use other people's lives as stepping stones for the sake of your brother's future?
.
"Take her down and make sure she's safe. Someone will come to take her home later."
After De'er and Fa'er took Mo Xiang away, Jia Lian turned around and saw Lin Ruhai sitting on the bed with a blue face, and hurried forward:
"Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head sadly:
"I have never treated her badly.
When I came to Yangzhou, there were more than a dozen new maids in the house. Among them, I saw Mo Xiang, who was elegant in manners and good at cooking. I wanted to take her as my concubine, so I made her my first wife.
The treatment is already the same as that of my aunts.
But I didn’t expect it to be a Zhongshan wolf, which is really heartbreaking!”
Jia Lian waved his hands repeatedly: "Uncle, it's not worth getting angry with her."
"You just came here, how do you know it was her who harmed me?"
"To be honest with my uncle, although there is something wrong with the feng shui of that house, the theory of Yin Qi is just a fabrication made up by my nephew.
I heard Butler Lin talk about it on the road. My uncle came here from Gusu to take up the post. The housekeeper and the servants were all brought by him before. Only the maid and a side house were newly added.
I am in a hurry to get my uncle to move out today, so I just trapped these female relatives in the garden and falsely spread the news of my uncle's death to expose her.
I said that evil people were causing trouble, leaving only a group of female relatives there, and deliberately asked people to scare them.
Others are afraid. This person who knows the cause of her uncle's illness naturally knows that it is not because of ghosts, and her fear is just fake. There are always times when she doesn't act like it.
Hearing that something happened to my uncle, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to escape.
But among those who escaped, the one who had done something wrong must have elsewhere to get the reward, so naturally he did not take any gold or silver with him, just to escape as soon as possible.
Those who satisfy these two points will naturally be the Zhongshan wolf we want to find."
Lin Ruhai nodded repeatedly, praising Jia Lian for his thoughtfulness and decisiveness.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked:
"Then - how did your servant know that Mo Xiang had a younger brother who was studying at home?"
Jia Lian smiled and lowered his voice:
"My uncle gave the emperor a trick. The person the emperor sent to help my uncle is me.
Although it is inconvenient for me to bring in more people, these boys around me are all masters of the Wind-Mocking Department."
"That's it!"
Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief.
Jia Lian can actually lead people from the Chaofeng Division. This guy is very extraordinary.
.
Jia Lian saw that Lin Ruhai's face had improved a lot and felt relieved:
"Don't worry, uncle, let the people from the Chaofeng Department check again in the next few days to prevent any more fish from slipping through the net.
Since my uncle no longer eats those harmful things, he will ask a doctor to treat him later, and he will recover soon."
Lin Ruhai's face showed worry again:
"It may not be that simple.
That Jiang Chunsheng is one of the eight major salt merchants, he can attack me..."
"It's because there is someone behind this Jiang Chunsheng.
If you can find ways to prevent the salt inspector from intervening in this matter, it must have a lot to do with salt politics."
Jia Lian's interface directly broke the window paper.
Lin Ruhai nodded and said:
"Exactly!
Zhen Huan was in charge of the Lianghuai Salt Administration for ten years, and there was a huge amount of money embezzling money. Now the emperor asked me to come here to investigate this matter.
Before I came to Yangzhou, I had expected that they would collude with government officials and businessmen and would definitely attack me, but I never expected that their methods could be so secretive."
"The local doctors are unreliable. I have sent people to Jinling to ask for a doctor. They will be back tomorrow at the latest.
We are surrounded by our own people, so my uncle can take care of himself with peace of mind.
I am going out to show off these days, but I want to see the methods of these salt merchants and how Zhen Huan will treat me."
The swaying light of the lights shines on Jia Lian's face, making his handsome face half bright and smooth, and half dark and mysterious.
.
Jiangnan is good, and its beauties are numerous.
Since the Qionghua is partial to the moon, the gold powder should not be fragrant.
After breakfast on the second day, Jia Lian, the handsome young man, took his beautiful maid Qingwen, and energetic young men Xing'er and Li'er, wandering out of the gate of Guangling Tower and strolling around to see the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou.
.
As soon as I went out, I heard someone yelling on the street:
"It's amazing! I'm going to make a fortune!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, there's no point in going late!"
"Are you really giving me gold? Mommy's is really gold!"
Even the boss of Guanglinglou ran out with his staff.
Jia Lian pointed at Boss Dai, so Lier stepped forward and grabbed Boss Dai's arm:
"Our second master has something to say."
Boss Dai was so anxious that he stamped his feet:
"My uncle, we have something that we can't talk about until later? There's real gold over there!"
.
Yep, this kind of pie-in-the-sky pie is actually a trap to defraud money. Jia Lian has seen it a lot in his previous life.
Do people really believe "You won the jackpot" or "You got a free bill and cash back"?
As the saying goes, "Man will die for money, and birds will die for food." Or should we say that human nature "has not changed forever"?
.
Jia Lian shook his head at Boss Dai "sorrowful for his misfortune and angry for his inability to fight":
"Don't be fooled like this. Pie in the sky is actually bricks. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Free is the most expensive..."
Before Jia Lian finished drinking the anti-fraud chicken soup, he saw someone running back from the front holding a shiny object, shouting:
"It's really gold!"
Boss Dai was so excited:
"Oh, if you don't want it, don't do it! Don't catch me! I'm a gold digger!"
