Jiang Weiwei took out his small needle bag, took out a silver needle, inserted it into the ointment, and then pulled it out to show everyone to look carefully.
In full view of the public, one end of the silver needle quickly turned black.
That ointment is really poisonous!
It all dawned on everyone.
No wonder Zhang's daughter, after using the ointment, not only did not remove the scar, but her skin festered and turned into a ghost.
Member Zhang was so anxious that he kept asking, "is this poison very powerful? Will it hurt people's lives? Is my daughter still saved? "
Jiang Weiwei took out his handkerchief, wrapped the silver needle and put it away. He planned to take it back for disinfection.
She answered slowly: "this poison will make people's skin itch and fester, and will not die. As long as you dissolve the toxicity and use some ointment, you can recover soon."
Listening to her, Zhang Yuanwai was a little relieved.
Xie Qingquan asked the most critical question.
"Why is this ointment poisonous?"
Jiang Weiwei explained: "in fact, in the formula of jade curd, there is a drug that is a poison. When I make jade curd, I will eliminate the toxicity with special methods, but others can't do that."
"What do you mean?"
"Someone stole the formula of yucongzhi and tried to make an ointment with the same efficacy, but because the toxicity in the Formula medicine could not be eliminated, the ointment was toxic and the skin would itch and fester after use."
Xie Qingquan showed a thoughtful look.
Zhang Yuanwai was still suspicious of her. He asked, "you guessed all this out of thin air. You have no evidence at all. Maybe you were the one who poisoned the jade curd!"
Jiang Weiwei asked, "I have no grievances with you. Why should I poison your daughter?"
"I have to ask you!"
Jiang Weiwei was not that kind of soft nature. At this time, she was pressed again and again, and she was a little upset.
"OK, originally I was going to help your daughter cure her illness. Now, depending on your posture, I shouldn't need my help."
Hearing the speech, Zhang Yuanwai's face changed and then sneered: "with your young rural daughter-in-law, can you cure my daughter?"
Jiang Weiwei showed a malicious smile: "yes, yes, I don't have this ability. Don't ask me to treat your daughter in the future."
"You!"
Seeing that the two were going to quarrel, Xie Qingquan quickly made a voice to persuade them: "don't say a word."
In the face of the county magistrate, Zhang Yuanwai didn't choke any more, but his eyes were still staring at Jiang Weiwei, with an attitude of remembering her.
Jiang Wei turned his eyes directly.
Gu Fei, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Zhang Yuanwai said just now that the person who bought the ointment was your servant girl. I suggest interrogating the servant girl and asking where she bought the ointment."
Gu Fei was Yayuan in this year's rural examination, and he had the reputation of a scholar. Member Zhang was very polite to him.
"I've already asked her. She said she met a young man at the door of the pharmacy. The young man said he bought ten cans of jade curd at the pharmacy, but because he bought too much, his family couldn't use it up, so he sold it at a low price at the door of the pharmacy. The servant girl was greedy for cheap, so she bought all the three cans of jade congealed fat in his hand. "
"What about the young man?"
"The servant girl said she didn't know the young man. She never saw him again. She only remembered that he looked 17 or 18 years old, medium-sized and ordinary."
Xie Qingquan frowned: "how can you find such a young man in Jiuqu county without saying that there are 800 or 1000?"
Zhang Yuanwai naturally understood this and became more and more angry.
It's all because the servant girl is greedy for cheap, which will cause an accident to his daughter. When this matter is solved later, he must kill the servant girl!
Xie Qingquan looked at Jiang Weiwei's calm appearance and felt that she seemed to know a lot.
So he tried to ask, "Gu Jiangshi, you just said that someone stole the formula of jade curd. How did you know about it?"
Jiang Wei didn't want to involve Wei Chen, so she made up an excuse.
"It's my husband-in-law. He accidentally saw Ma Pu, a man in the pharmacy, colluding with manager Yang of huichuntang. Ma Pu will come to my house every once in a while to collect the goods. Sometimes I will ask him to buy medicinal materials for me. He has the opportunity to steal the formula of yucongzhi and then resell it to huichuntang. "
Xie Qingquan looked at Gu Fei and asked, "is it true?"
Gu Fei nodded and said, "well."
Xie Qingquan pondered for a moment and immediately ordered Ma Pu and manager Yang to be brought to the Yamen for questioning.
The Yamen servants took orders.
Gu Fei said, "if steward Yang is caught in open fire, it is likely to scare the snake and lead to the early escape of the real murderer behind the scenes. If you can trust the students, can you hand over the task of arresting manager Yang to the students? Students can quietly bring people to you without disturbing others. "
Xie Qingquan looked at him up and down. He was tall and slender. It should not be a problem to grasp someone.
"Need someone to help you?"
Gu Fei said No: "many people are easy to do bad things. One student is enough."
Xie Qingquan nodded: "please give it to you. Be careful on the road. It's important to catch people, but you should also pay attention to your own safety."
He is very optimistic about Gu Fei. As long as there are no accidents and with Gu Fei's strength, he will be able to successfully enter the officialdom through the scientific examination in the future. Therefore, he attaches great importance to Gu Fei and doesn't want Gu Fei to get hurt because of small things.
"Students understand."
Gu Fei whispered a few words to Jiang Wei, reassuring her to wait for him in the Yamen. Then he put on his coir raincoat and walked out of the house. His back disappeared in the vast rain and fog.
Jiang Weiwei watched him leave.
The waiting time is always long.
During this period, member Zhang took another look at his daughter.
His daughter rested in the small room next door. After Zhang went in, she came out soon.
He looked at Jiang Weiwei and his face was not very good-looking: "is it true that you said just now that you can cure my daughter?"
Jiang Weiwei was drinking tea and sniffed: "of course it's fake. I'm a little daughter-in-law in the countryside. I don't know anything. How can I cure your daughter-in-law?"
Zhang Yuanwai's face was green and red when she ran, which was very embarrassing.
But for his daughter's sake, he finally stubbornly endured his anger and said, "I was a little angry when I spoke just now. You can directly attack me if you have any anger, but my daughter is innocent. She is still young and naive. She shouldn't be tortured like this. If you can save her, I'd like to offer a thousand liang of silver as a token of gratitude! "
Jiang Weiwei: "Gee, are you going to hit people with money? Do you think I look like the kind of person who is very short of money? "
Seeing that she was soft and hard to eat, Zhang Yuanwai was a little grumpy: "how on earth can you save my daughter?"
"It's very simple. Just apologize to me."
