Chapter 77 Precision Sniper
The four of them were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and seemed to be very harmonious.
Xiao Yunzi wanted to trick Chu Liuzheng to pay more attention to him, so she deliberately started talking: "Girl, do you know what my ex-son saw when he was on duty at the pharmacy?"
Chu Liuzheng shook his head and asked very flatteringly: "What did you see?"
Xiao Yunzi lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I saw a ghost."
[Ah, this... the little eunuch who bumped into someone in the middle of the night in the pharmacy is Xiao Yunzi? 】
Chu Liuzheng showed his acting skills and his eyes widened in surprise: "Is there really a ghost?"
"Don't just say it's scary." Xiao Xiazi thought Chu Liuzheng was really frightened by these words, so he patted Xiao Yunzi's arm anxiously.
Xiao Yunzi chuckled and said to Chu Liuzheng: "Girl, don't be afraid, it's not a ghost, it's just a thief. I guess I wanted to steal some medicinal materials from the warehouse and found the wrong place. I found out without stealing anything."
Chu Liuzheng asked: "Did you catch him?"
Xiao Yunzi shook his head: "That kid ran too fast. I was startled by him and my legs weakened, so I couldn't catch up."
Chu Liuzheng looked at him, "Then did you see the little thief's face?"
"How can you see clearly in the dark?" Xiao Yunzi said, "Fortunately, the little thief didn't steal anything, otherwise I would have to pay for the lost medicinal materials."
When Chu Liuzheng saw that he had no unnecessary reaction, he knew that he didn't know that the little Xuanzi whose body was thrown into the well was the thief who sneaked into the pharmacy.
[If he had been caught at that time, it seemed that there was only one way to die. Everyone on the left and right is dead, but nothing has been stolen. If you really steal the chicken, you will lose the rice. 】
[Speaking of which, Xiao Xuanzi is not sick or in pain. Why did he go to the pharmacy to steal medicinal materials in the middle of the night? He was killed and silenced the next day. This routine felt like a conspiracy. 】
[The conspiracy to steal medicine... frame the blame? 】
[But nothing was stolen, so what can I blame? 】
An idea suddenly flashed through Chu Liuzheng's mind.
[Could it be that Xiao Xuanzi’s purpose is not to steal the medicine but to change the medicine, or add something to some medicine? 】
【That...】
She looked down at her well-bandaged hands, her heart pounding.
The prescriptions prescribed by Taiyuan Hospital are all dispensed in the pharmacy. Is there something wrong with her medicine?
"Liu Zheng?" Xia Qiaoru gently pushed Chu Liuzheng, "Why are you so stunned and silent? Are you really scared?"
Xiao Yunzi didn't want to make things worse. When she saw this, she hurriedly raised her hand and patted her mouth, "It's all my bad mouth. I said some unclean things and scared the girl. Please forgive me this time. I'll do it next time." Don’t dare anymore.”
Chu Liuzheng was pushed back to his senses by Xia Qiaoru. Seeing Xiao Yunzi's behavior, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.
"Okay, I was just distracted for a moment and didn't want to do your business."
She looked at the three people at the table and asked, "Do you know when the powder I used in the past two days was ground?"
Xiao Xiazi remembered it very clearly. When Chu Liuzheng asked, she said: "The girl ground it in the morning on the day she was injured. The girl also knows that for the convenience of the masters, the pharmacy will grind some powder in advance and prepare it."
"The girl's hand was seriously injured that day. After the imperial doctors discussed the prescription, they took ready-made powder and mixed it because they didn't have time to grind it freshly. However, it was only the first two days, and today's medicine was freshly ground."< br>
Medicinal materials are ground into powder and stored for a long time, and some of their medicinal properties will always be lost. If you want to use it, naturally it is better to grind it according to the recipe.
Chu Liuzheng thought about it carefully.
On the day she was injured, she was still unconscious when the imperial doctor treated her wound. When she woke up, her hand hurt terribly. She thought it was normal for her hands to hurt after suffering such a large area of burns, so she didn't care.
The next day, Dr. Liu came to change her dressing, but the pain was still severe. She secretly complained that the hospital had not given her any painkillers.
On the third day, today, Dr. Li changed her dressing.
She could clearly feel the burning pain in her hands when the dressing had just been changed, as if someone had sprinkled chili powder on her wound.
She also specifically asked Dr. Li, who explained: Some pain is normal. Hearing that she said it was extremely painful, Dr. Li had no choice but to add some extra painkillers to the soup she drank and asked Caiyue to go with him to the Taiyuan Hospital to get it.
Xiao Xuanzi sneaked into the pharmacy on the night of the first day. According to Xiao Xiazi, the medicine given to her during the day on the first day should be fine. Why did she feel the same?
Moreover, there is something else that doesn’t make sense.
The added medicine will definitely have an impact on her wound. The imperial doctor changed her dressing twice a day, so he shouldn't be able to notice it.
It’s impossible for both Dr. Liu and Dr. Li to be bribed, right?
The more Chu Liuzheng thought about it, the more confused his mind became. Finally, he gave up thinking on his own and looked up the answers directly in the system.
[I hate my limited curiosity. Why didn’t I take a closer look that day? If one had carefully read the details of Xiao Yunzi's encounter with a ghost, he might have discovered the clues long ago. 】
Xia Qiaoru also heard some clues from the questions just now. Seeing that Chu Liuzheng was distracted again, she winked at Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Yunzi and told them not to disturb Chu Liuzheng.
Both of them fell asleep and spoke softly.
Xiao Yunzi asked Xiao Xiazi worriedly: "Have I made Miss Liu Zheng angry?"
Xiao Xiazi shook her head and said in an experienced tone: "It has nothing to do with you. Miss Liu Zheng is just thinking about something like this. We just don't disturb her."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Seeing that Xiao Yunzi was still a little worried, he added: "Miss Liu Zheng is the most amiable person. You will know if you get along with her more."
Xiao Yunzi forced a smile, secretly regretting that she brought up the topic of Lao Shizi's encounter with a ghost.
【Turn over! 】
Chu Liuzheng clicked on the article 'Gossip about a little eunuch in a pharmacy who bumped into a ghost in the middle of the night' and read it word by word.
【Depend on! Really adding something to the medicine! 】
[Long-term use of this medicine can delay wound decay, but the side effects are hindering wound healing and accompanied by unbearable stinging. 】
[Let me take a look, frankincense, myrrh, medicinal pearls, Sanguisorba...]
Chu Liuzheng: "..."
Ni daddy! !
[The ingredients added are all medicinal materials that can remove saprophysis and promote muscle growth. I haven’t missed any of the commonly used ones. It’s a precise sniper attack on me, right? 】
Chu Liuzheng continued to dig deeper. If there was something wrong with the medicine on the first day, Xiao Xuanzi must not be the only one who tampered with it.
【Frog Fun! It's the old godly woman who is causing trouble! 】
[I've already left the pharmacy, but they still don't let me go! 】
[Didn’t I just file a lawsuit against you when I fought back and get you fined? You are an old godly woman with a narrow mind than the tip of a needle. My aunt will scratch you to death! ! 】
The three people in the room saw that Chu Liuzheng's expression was getting more and more ugly, and he was gnashing his teeth as if he wanted to eat someone alive, and couldn't help but feel a little cold.
Xiao Xiazi wanted to carry the brazier next to him under the table, but suddenly saw the charcoal in the bamboo basket and was stunned.
Silver charcoal?
He thought that the candlelight was too dim, so he looked closer.
The surface of the charcoal block is smooth and delicate, shining like silver under the light.
It’s really silver charcoal!
Only His Majesty, the Queen Mother and the favored ladies in the harem can use such good charcoal. How could Miss Liu Zheng have it here?
Xiao Xiazi was shocked, feeling that she had discovered a great secret.
No wonder there is no smoke when burning.
He swallowed and didn't dare to add charcoal to the brazier. He just pretended not to notice and brought the brazier over and put it under the table to warm everyone's feet.
