107 Search House (Seeking votes~)
He shook his head again. "There is no antidote for this Roman flower poison, and it cannot be cured. Patriarch Jiang can only hope for the best!"
After hearing the news, Fang Ruoliu collapsed to the ground.
She looked at Jiang Lintian lying on the couch and murmured, "Paralyzed... How could this happen..." Her voice was full of despair and disbelief.
When Jiang Lintian, who was lying on the couch, heard Doctor Ming's last words, the light in his eyes instantly disappeared.
When Jiang Lintian, who was lying on the couch, heard the last sentence, the light in his eyes instantly disappeared.
The whole person looked like an idiot, staring at the ceiling with a dull expression.
He, Jiang Lintian, actually became a paraplegic?
He is the leader of the noble families in Qifeng! He was a person who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else in Qifeng country, but he actually became a paraplegic?
And it’s the Roman flower poison?
But wasn’t the poison sent back by Jiang Zhu?
That poison is meant to be used on Jiang Yun!
Apart from him and Fang Ruoliu, no one else knew about this!
How could the poison be put on him now?
Jiang Lintian couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of what Lin Wanyi had said to him before.
He turned his eyes with great effort, trying to look at Lin Wanyi, as if trying to find the answer from her.
When Lin Wanyi saw him like this, she stepped forward with a concerned look on her face and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely find out who poisoned you and seek justice for you!"
Jiang Lintian opened his mouth to scold her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a "ho ho" sound came out.
Lin Wanyi looked like she was trying hard to hold back the pain. She gently patted Jiang Lintian's hand, then turned to Ming Cheng and said, "Thank you for troubling Doctor Ming to make this trip today. Manou, pay the consultation fee and then send Doctor Ming out of the house."
Upon hearing this, Agate hurried forward and presented the heavy ten taels of silver with both hands.
Mingcheng took the silver, bowed to Lin Wanyi, and said politely: "Thank you for your generosity, madam. I will take my leave now."
He put on his medical bag and was about to turn around and leave when he heard hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, accompanied by a loud shout: "The Dali Temple received a report and came to the Jiang family to investigate the case! Why don't you open the door quickly!"
Then came the voice of Steward Wang: "Open the door quickly and let the officials in to investigate the case!"
Mingcheng muttered to himself that it seemed that he could not leave the Jiang Mansion today.
but……
As there was something exciting to watch, he was happy to stay.
The gate of the courtyard was soon opened, and a group of officers in official uniforms, led by Wang Shoude, walked into the study in a mighty procession.
The leader was Gong Xingnan, Gong Qi's nephew.
Before coming, Gong Qi gave him some specific instructions, so the people he brought this time were all his own people.
Gong Xingnan's face was stern. He swept his eyes across everyone and finally fixed them on Lin Wanyi. He asked in a deep voice, "Who is the mistress of the Jiang family?"
Lin Wanyi took a step forward calmly, bowed gracefully, and replied softly, "My Lord, it is me."
"Then tell me, what exactly happened here? Why did you report the case? Where is the deceased?" Gong Xingnan threw out a series of questions.
Lin Wanyi answered clearly and logically one by one, explaining the whole story.
Fang Ruoliu was still slumped on the ground, looking dazed. It was not until she was helped up by Chunhong that she gradually came to her senses.
"Madam, the officers are here to investigate the case." Chunhong reminded softly.
Fang Ruoliu suddenly realized it, and just happened to hear Lin Wanyi talking about the key point.
"No one in our Jiang family died, but the head of the family was poisoned for some reason and is now paralyzed in bed." Lin Wanyi said, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Upon seeing this, Fang Ruoliu hurried forward and cried to Gong Xingnan, "Sir, you must take care of our master! I don't know which vicious person wants to murder our master!"
Gong Xingnan frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "Who are you?"
Lin Wanyi gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and explained, "She is our master's concubine."
Gong Xingnan's face darkened when he heard this. He scolded Ruoliu, "When the mistress of the house is here, when is it your turn as a concubine to interrupt?"
Then, he winked at the officer behind him and said, "Go, take all the others away and interrogate them one by one. Also, search the porridge bowl that Madam Lin seized and the place where the porridge was cooked carefully."
Fang Ruoliu was furious when she heard this and asked loudly, "Why are you only interrogating us? Why not her?"
Gong Xingnan's face became increasingly gloomy, and he looked at Fang Ruoliu coldly: "Mrs. Lin will be interrogated by me personally, what? Do you have any objections?"
For a moment, Fang Ruoliu was speechless.
After everyone was taken away, Gong Xingnan made a gesture of invitation to Lin Wanyi: "Madam, please sit down and wait for a moment. There will be a result soon."
Lin Wanyi nodded, sat elegantly on a chair beside her, and drank tea with Gong Xingnan while waiting for the results.
About a quarter of an hour later, Fang Ruoliu and others were brought back and presented their confessions.
Gong Xingnan opened the confession and read it carefully.
Fang Ruoliu's eyes fell on the leisurely Lin Wanyi, and her heart was filled with resentment.
If she wasn't just a concubine now, the supreme position should have belonged to her!
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, an official came in with a coroner.
"Sir, the inspection results are out." The officer reported.
Gong Xingnan raised his head and looked at the coroner: "How is it?"
The coroner replied respectfully, "I found Roman flower poison in both the porridge bowl and the pot used to cook the porridge."
Fang Ruoliu was shocked when she heard this: "How is it possible?!"
Chunhong also frowned and looked at Manjushri suddenly: "It's you! You must have framed us!"
Agate blinked her innocent eyes, looking bewildered: "Sister Chunhong, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Chunhong ignored her and grabbed Fang Ruoliu's arm tightly: "Madam, it must be Agate who poisoned the porridge and wanted to frame us! Madam!"
Fang Ruoliu was also awakened by these words. She stared at Manju with wide eyes, then turned to Lin Wanyi: "It must be you who ordered it! It must be you!"
Before Lin Wanyi could even open her mouth, Gong Xingnan slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You dare to make a loud noise while I'm trying a case? Do you still have me in your eyes?"
Although Fang Ruoliu and Chunhong were unwilling, they dared not say anything.
Lin Wanyi advised at the right time: "Sir, calm down. The concubine in the mansion has been spoiled by the master and is used to being lawless. I am sorry to make you laugh."
Gong Xingnan ignored this and ordered with a stern face: "Search! Search the whole mansion! We must find evidence!"
Fang Ruoliu's eyes flashed with fear, and she questioned loudly: "Why do you search the whole house? We in the Jiang family cannot be searched casually!"
