The first thousand two hundred and fifty-eight chapters ask for supply (for monthly tickets)
Li Qi first asked Li Qingzhao to tell her everything that happened after she came to Hangzhou from beginning to end. Li Qingzhao was also very cooperative. But when she mentioned Sleeping Saint Powder, Li Qi interrupted her, "As far as I know,
Not many people know about this Sleeping Saint Powder, and you are not a doctor, how could you know this prescription?"
Li Qingzhao said: "I also read it from some miscellaneous books."
"Miscellaneous books?"
"It's just unknown books in some places." Li Qingzhao said: "My husband often has headaches or chest pains, which makes it difficult to fall asleep. Sometimes he even screams in pain. He seems listless during the day, and his body is getting weaker day by day.
, that’s why I remembered this medicine, so I planned to go outside and ask about it.”
Li Qidao: "Then have you found it?"
Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "I found this prescription at Lei's Pharmacy."
"Did you find it yourself? Or was it introduced by someone else?"
Li Qingzhao said: "Because my husband used to ask Lei Langzhong for treatment, so at the beginning I went to his pharmacy to ask, and they happened to have this prescription in their store."
"Has Zhao Mingcheng gotten better after taking this medicine?"
"Yes, my husband slept very well after eating it, and his energy improved significantly. He no longer has to endure the pain."
Li Qi nodded and said: "You said that you personally went to look for a medicinal material called yamabana flower in this prescription. Since you have already found a place to sell this medicine, why do you still have to look for the medicinal material yourself."
Li Qingzhao said: "That's because I saw that there were not many Sleeping Powders left at home, so I wanted to go to Lei's Pharmacy to buy a few more pairs. However, Dr. Lei said that fewer people use this kind of Sleeping Powder, and the amount of it is
Eggplant flowers are rare locally. They have to buy them from Guangxi, and he only buys them once a year in the summer. The ones in the store have been sold out, and they have to wait until summer and autumn. But my husband can't wait that long.
After I learned from Lei Langzhong that all the other medicinal materials in this prescription were available, I planned to look for the mountain tomato flower myself. I went to the countryside to search for two days and finally found it. The funny thing is that I was naive at the time.
I thought that the emperor would be worthy of his hard work, but I never thought that--sigh."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Have you ever been to Hangzhou before this?"
Li Qingzhao said: "I came here once."
"Once? Are you familiar with the geography of Hangzhou?"
"Not very familiar."
"That's strange. Even people like Lei Langzhong who live in Hangzhou have trouble finding this kind of tomato flower. But you, a woman who is not familiar with Hangzhou, found it after just two days of searching."
Li Qingzhao said: "I also found it by mistake. I asked about it from other people's mouths."
Ouyang Che stopped writing and said, "Why didn't I hear you talk about this last time?"
Li Qingzhao asked: "Is this important?"
"Of course it's important!" Li Qi said: "Where did you ask about it? And from whom did you learn it."
Li Qingzhao said: "I learned about it from a woodcutter at the foot of a mountain twenty miles away in the southern suburbs."
"woodcutter?"
Li Qi was surprised and said: "How could the woodcutter know about the yamabana flower?"
Li Qingzhao said: "I told him about the mountain tomato flower earlier, but he didn't know it. It was when I described the appearance of the mountain tomato flower later that he understood. He said that he had seen this kind of flower in a mountain col in the east of that place.
So I quickly went to the mountain col based on what the woodcutter said, and sure enough there were a lot of tomato flowers there."
Li Qidao: "What does the woodcutter look like?"
Li Qingzhao said: "He was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and I didn't pay attention. So I didn't see clearly."
"Then what are the characteristics of this woodcutter?"
"No, just like an ordinary woodcutter."
Li Qi nodded slightly and asked again: "According to witness Zhang Po's confession, she heard you and Zhao Mingcheng have an argument, and you admitted it. What was the reason for your quarrel with Zhao Mingcheng at that time?"
Li Qingzhao sighed softly and said: "That's because there is not much money left at home, and there are two patients at home, so I want to sell some calligraphy and paintings to get some money for emergencies, but my husband would rather die and said
He would rather die than sell those calligraphy and paintings. He said that if these calligraphy and paintings fell into the hands of some people who did not know how to cherish them, they would only be ruined. He also told me to protect those calligraphy and paintings. We even argued about this.
But in the end I compromised."
"You--you can go to Zuixian Villa to get--borrow it. Uh... Ouyang Che, you don't need to remember this sentence."
"Yes, I know."
Li Qingzhao looked embarrassed and said: "Later - later I did find Carpenter Tian and borrow thirty guan."
"Really? Why haven't I heard Tian Carpenter talk about it?" Li Qi blinked, already understanding in his heart that these thirty strings were just a drop in the bucket for him. How could Tian Carpenter tell him? Maybe he didn't even remember it.
Already.
Li Qingzhao said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Carpenter Tian."
Li Qidao: "Don't worry, I will ask about it myself." After a pause, he asked again: "Since you have picked the mountain tomato flowers, why didn't you send them to Lei Langzhong immediately instead of leaving them there?
At home?”
Li Qingzhao said: "When I came back, it was already late, and the Lei's Pharmacy was in Xicheng. Li Yuanxiang was the only one at home at that time. She had to take care of two patients, and my husband often suffered from headaches at this time. I
I felt uneasy, so I decided to send it off tomorrow."
Li Qidao: "When you get home, you will make medicine for Zhao Mingcheng to drink immediately?"
Li Qingzhao said: "I just got home and saw that my husband started to have a headache again, so I immediately put down what I was doing and went to the kitchen to make medicine."
"Isn't Li Yuanxiang not there at the time?"
"Yes. It's just because I know that yamabana flowers are poisonous, so I don't dare to let Li Yuanxiang boil them. I have always done it myself, and Li Yuanxiang is responsible for Liu Qin's medicine and food."
"Liu Qin is Zhao Mingcheng's concubine?"
"Um."
Li Qi frowned and said: "That's strange. According to this, you should not have planned to poison Zhao Mingcheng, and since you know that Sleeping Saint Powder is toxic, you should be very careful.
And Zhao Mingcheng died of Zhongshan eggplant poison, don’t you have any doubt at all? Why are you so sure that he died because of you?"
Li Qingzhao closed his eyes slightly and lamented: "When my husband's poison attack occurred, I had already seen that he might have been poisoned by the tomato flower. I was very surprised at the time, but I had no time to think about it. I was about to ask Li Yuanxiang to call him.
Doctor, but as soon as I called Li Yuanxiang, my husband had already passed away. My mind went blank at that time. I sat blankly on the edge of the bed. After a long time, I suddenly remembered why my husband was poisoned by the tomato flower.
I couldn't understand it at all, and it wasn't until I went to the kitchen that I finally understood."
"kitchen?"
"Yes, when I saw the freshly picked tomato flowers in the kitchen, I realized why my husband was poisoned by the tomato flowers. Because when I just came back, my husband complained that he had a headache, and Yuan Xiang was too busy at all.
I was also in a hurry at the time, so I didn’t pay that much attention. I hurriedly made some medicine for my husband. Because I had just come back from picking mountain tomato flowers, I might have the petals or seeds of the mountain tomato flowers in my body, so I thought it must be me who was brewing the medicine.
During the process of taking the medicine, the shamrock flowers on my body fell into the medicine jar. As a result, it turned into a jar of poison."
"That's it." Ouyang Che nodded slightly.
Li Qi heard a hint of sadness in his eyebrows, because he also knew that this possibility was very high, because Zhao Mingcheng's body was already very weak, and a small amount could be fatal, and said: "It is precisely because of this that you
I will put all the blame on you and go to the government office to surrender."
Li Qingzhao nodded and said: "No matter what, your husband died entirely because of me, and I should be punished accordingly."
Li Qi knew that Li Qingzhao was still worried about what he said when he and Zhao Mingcheng parted ways, so he didn't say much and continued to ask: "But you don't have any evidence yourself to prove that you accidentally put the wolfberry
The flowers fell into the medicine jar."
Li Qingzhao said: "I prepared this medicine myself. Apart from this possibility, there is no other possibility."
Li Qidao: "Maybe the medicine you prescribed is highly toxic?"
Li Qingzhao said: "This is impossible. This is not the first time my husband has taken this medicine. Why are the others not poisonous? This medicine alone is poisonous, and it happened just after I came back from picking the tomato flowers. This happened
I’m afraid no one will believe it if I tell you.”
Li Qi asked again: "During the process of boiling the medicine, were you and Li Yuanxiang always in the kitchen?"
"I---."
Li Qingzhao thought for a while and said: "That's not true, but I'm sure that no one except me and Li Yuanxiang has entered the kitchen."
Ouyang Che said: "Ms. Li, aren't your words too contradictory? Since you and Li Yuanxiang are not always in the kitchen, why can you be sure that someone has entered the kitchen?"
Li Qingzhao said: "When Yuan Xiang went to feed Liu Qin some medicine, I heard Liu Qin coughing violently several times. I wanted to take a look, but I just asked in front of the door and learned that Liu Qin was just a
I was choked, so I went back, and there was only a moment of recovery, and if someone came into the kitchen at that time, I could definitely see it."
Li Qidao: "How long will this take?"
Li Qingzhao said: "The kitchen is only a few steps away from Liu Qin's room, oh no---."
Li Qidao: "What's going on?"
When I returned to the kitchen, Li Qingzhao said, "Po Zhang across the way suddenly came."
"It's Granny Zhang again? What is she here for?"
Li Qingzhao said: "It's not a big deal. Grandma Zhang has always cared about my husband. It happened that the hen she raised laid an egg that day, so she sent it to my husband to replenish his health, but she and I just stood there.
I chatted with Granny Zhang for a few words in front of the door. The kitchen is only four or five steps away, so it is impossible for anyone to sneak into the kitchen."
"Then."
"Then I went back to the kitchen and didn't come out again until the medicine was ready."
Although Li Qi was very worried, he did not show it. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's stop asking here today."
Ouyang Che couldn't help but frown when he heard this. In the final analysis, Li Qingzhao was the biggest suspect.
Li Qi then said to Li Qingzhao: "After learning about you, my wife also came to Hangzhou."
"Is Sanniang coming too?"
"Um."
"You should stop her."
"I think so too, but as you know Madam's character, once she decides something, it is difficult to change. If possible, I will arrange for her to visit you as soon as possible." Li Qi said seriously: "What is the truth?
Anyway, we have to find out. Don't worry, I will definitely respect the facts, but I also hope that you can promise me to take good care of yourself during this period, just as if it is for those who care about you.
"
Li Qingzhao nodded absently.
When Li Qi saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
