Chapter 352: It Looks Like a Murder Scene

Poison testing?

Xiao Jingfan paused for a moment and looked over.

Chu Liuzheng decisively refused: "No."

Can you take poison casually?

"I won't help you for nothing." Feng Jing knew Chu Liuzheng wouldn't agree so easily. "Just consider it as a favor I owe you."

The favor of the miracle doctor was still very tempting. Chu Liuzheng looked at the porcelain bottle and was somewhat tempted.

Anyway, Feng Jing couldn't have poisoned her to death, but I didn't know if it would hurt.

Seeing that there seemed to be a way, Feng Jing continued to persuade: "This poison will only make people sleepy for a few days after taking it. After taking the antidote, apart from being weak and needing to recuperate for two days, there will be no other discomfort."

Chu Liuzheng looked at him: "You already know the effects of this poison, and you still want me to try it?"

"That's the effect on ordinary people." Feng Jing said, "You are different."

Chu Liuzheng thought about it and hooked his finger at him.

Feng Jing stretched his neck and leaned forward, and Chu Liuzheng whispered a few words to him.

Feng Jing's eyes flashed with surprise, and he turned to look at her: "What do you want this for?"

"Of course I have my uses." Chu Liuzheng adjusted his sleeves. "Just tell me whether you agree or not."

Feng Jing said: "I can make this, but I'm missing a few herbs."

Chu Liuzheng pushed the porcelain bottle back on the table: "Then I will help you test the poison after you are done."

"Okay." Feng Jing simply put the porcelain bottle away and didn't continue the topic.

The housekeeper of the Du family left quickly and came back quickly.

"Master, the Qin Mansion has hung a white banner, saying that Master Qin has died."

"Dead?!" Du Qian was shocked. "When did it happen?"

The housekeeper said, "Two hours ago."

Du Qian frowned: "What's the cause of death?"

The housekeeper had a strange expression on his face. "It's said that a plum got stuck in his throat and he choked to death."

Du Qian: “…”

He waved his hand to let the butler leave and go to the main courtyard to report to Xiao Jingfan.

"Choked to death?" Xiao Jingfan, who was practicing boxing in the yard, stopped and asked, "Is there a coroner from the government office going to perform an autopsy?"

Du Qian shook his head.

Xiao Jingfan thought about it and called Chen Xing, who was tormenting Ji An, and asked her to follow the housekeeper to the Qin Mansion to pay condolences and find an opportunity to perform an autopsy.

"Young master, please wipe your sweat." Zhou Yuande stepped forward and handed over a clean white handkerchief.

Xiao Jingfan took it, looked around, and asked, "Where is she?"

"Miss Liu Zheng went to the pharmacy with Doctor Feng," Zhou Yuande said, "and said they were going to get some herbal teas to clear away heat and reduce internal heat."

Xiao Jingfan looked up at the sky and frowned: "It's so late, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"

Zhou Yuande thought to himself, didn’t you tell me that?

He was about to explain for Chu Liuzheng when he heard Xiao Jingfan ask, "Can you come back for dinner?"

Zhou Yuande: “…”

Xiao Jingfan looked at him, and Zhou Yuande could only say: "Doctor Feng said to eat outside. Miss Liu Zheng and Miss Si Yue are with him, so I guess..."

Seeing Xiao Jingfan's dark face, Zhou Yuande tactfully stopped talking and changed the subject: "I will send someone to find them right away."

"No need." Xiao Jingfan threw the towel to him and went back to the room to take a shower.

Zhou Yuande sighed while holding the handkerchief, waved to a guard and asked him to go out and look for the three people.

"Let's eat here." Feng Jing stopped in front of a restaurant called Taotie Pavilion, carrying a large bag of medicine. "The name sounds delicious."

Chu Liuzheng and Siyue had no objection.

"Please come in, gentlemen." The waiter came out with a smile and ushered the three of them in. "Private room or lobby?"

Feng Jing looked around and felt that the lobby was quite nice and lively.

"Please come this way." The waiter led the three people to a table by the window and poured them tea with quick movements.

The three of them looked at the menu and ordered the dishes after discussing it.

While waiting for the food, Chu Liuzheng drank tea and looked out the window.

As night falls, many small stalls appear on both sides of the street. Lanterns shine brightly in front of the stalls, and the stall owners shout their wares in a unique accent, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

People stood in groups of two or three in front of the food stalls. The hot oil in the large pot was bubbling, and the food was fried with a sizzling sound, the aroma wafting across the street.

Several children whose hair had not yet been combed were running after the candy man seller, staring at the largest one, Zhang Fei, and drooling.

【It’s still better outside the palace. 】

Chu Liuzheng held his chin with one hand, with smiles filling the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"What did you see that made you so happy?" Feng Jing looked out the window curiously. "Is there a magician?"

"No." Chu Liuzheng looked away, took out the braised chicken feet he bought at the door of the drug store, and invited the two to eat.

When the guards came, they saw the three men chewing chicken feet happily.

Chu Liuzheng recognized him and asked him to sit down with a smile.

The guard didn't sit down, but just said: "The young master is looking for you, hurry back with me."

Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly put down their chicken feet, wiped their hands, and asked, "What happened?"

How could the guard know where to go? He just knew that Eunuch Zhou looked very anxious.

"Could it be that the young master is unwell?" Chu Liuzheng speculated. After all, Feng Jing and Si Yue, both doctors, were here.

At this moment, the waiter came over with the food. Seeing the movements of the few people, he asked in surprise, "Are you three leaving?"

"Yes." Chu Liuzheng handed over a piece of silver, "Please pack up all the food so we can take it back."

"Okay!" the waiter agreed with a smile and ran to pack the food. He moved quickly and soon brought out a large food box.

The four of them picked it up and left.

"Sister Liuzheng?" Siyue walked into the gate of the Du Mansion, but didn't see Chu Liuzheng following her, so she turned back to look for her.

Chu Liuzheng was staring to the right, not knowing what he was looking at. When she heard Mi Yue's call, she came to her senses and followed.

Miyue tilted his head to look at her: "What were you looking at just now?"

Chu Liuzheng said, "I seemed to see a dark shadow, but when I looked closely it disappeared."

Hearing this, Miyue stopped and said, "Sister, go in first. I'll go take a look."

Chu Liuzheng shook his head: "It's so dark, maybe I'm dazzled."

"It doesn't take much effort to take a look." Mitsuki walked out of the door lightly and headed in the direction she had just looked.

Chu Liuzheng stood there and waited for a while but didn't see her come back, so he couldn't help but wonder.

Why does it take so long just to take a look?

She was worried that something might have happened, so she quickly called the two servants guarding the door to go and check.

In the pitch-black alley, the stench of blood hung heavy. Miyue crouched, inspecting the injuries of the man in black at his feet. At the entrance of the alley, a lantern swayed, casting a hazy yellow light.

When she heard footsteps, she turned around suddenly. Seeing that it was Chu Liuzheng, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared and a smile appeared on his face. "Why are you here, sister?"

[Oh no, it looks like a murder scene.]

"Who is this man?" Chu Liuzheng tried hard to ignore the bloodstains on the ground and pointed at the man in black.

"He claimed to be Master Qin's steward and wanted to see Master Du, but he fainted before I could ask any more questions." Si Yue carried the man onto his shoulder, looking quite relaxed.

Chu Liuzheng's mouth opened slightly as he watched.

[Wow, is this the difference between a martial arts girl and an ordinary girl? Such strength, I envy her!]

The servant was also shocked by Siyue's move. He looked thin and weak, so how could he be so strong?

They were stunned for a moment before they remembered to go forward to help.

"No, I can do it myself." Mitsuki carried the man steadily and said to the two of them, "You guys deal with the bloodstains on the wall and the floor, wipe them clean."

The servant hurriedly responded and went to fetch water to clean it.
