The general's mansion, kitchen.
Led by Shangguan Yan, Lu Yun and his group came here and conducted a careful investigation.
In fact, Lu Yun didn't have much hope. He only knew that His Majesty wanted an answer.
He even thought about finding someone to take the blame.
Even the shadow guards couldn't find out, so why are you still investigating? It's just that one is in the open and the other is in the dark.
"Is the general the only one in the whole government who is ill?"
"Yes!" Shangguan Yan nodded, "I also find it strange that only my father was poisoned."
"We also ordered an investigation at the time, but found nothing."
"Besides, my father had a bad temper at the time. He just thought it must have been General Xiao He who did it."
"Just get General Xiao He to plead guilty."
When Lu Yun heard this, his brows furrowed. This meant that the food was normal before it came out of the cooking room.
"Who brought the general's meal?"
"They are the maids in the mansion, but they should be fine. I have asked."
Shangguan Yan continued, "My father is also a bit strange. He likes to eat alone and never eats with us."
“So we kept coming separately.”
Lu Yun frowned. This was strange. Who else could it be?
"So, after the food was brought to the general, was there anyone else who could touch it?"
Shangguan Yan thought about it carefully and said, "I'm not sure about that."
Thinking of this, Lu Yun suddenly realized that Shadow Guard Thirteen was able to find the poisonous insect only through secret investigation.
However, he could not conduct a large-scale search throughout the mansion.
But I am in the open and came here on orders, so I can investigate however I want.
"Okay, in that case, let's use the most primitive method."
"Come here, call everyone in the mansion to come here!"
"Remember! It's everyone!"
"If someone doesn't come, he's the murderer!"
Shangguan Yan was shocked when these words came out, "This... Eunuch Lu, this is not good, right?"
"Does it have to be everyone?"
"Yes, everyone."
Lu Yun’s method is very simple, that is, to cut the Gordian knot without caring about anything else.
He just wanted to force the murderer.
He could conclude that the murderer must be in the general's mansion, and no one else had the opportunity to take action.
After a while, Shangguan Yan called together everyone in the general's mansion, whether servants or family members.
Lu Yun laughed coldly and said, "Everyone, I called you together today to investigate the general's poisoning."
"I don't have any skills in judging cases."
"I'm a rough guy, so I'm going to offend them next. Come on, search their rooms one by one!"
"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find the poison for me!"
"Don't let me catch anyone with poison in their room, or you'll be the murderer."
Lu Yun's move seemed very crude, but also reasonable.
It's impossible for poison to appear or disappear out of thin air.
If the poison is discovered, what about the extra poisonous insects?
There must be more!
After receiving the order, the people below began to search the mansion one by one. During this period, no one in the yard was allowed to leave.
After about half an hour, his men came out helplessly one by one.
"Nothing was found, sir."
“Nothing was found…”
"I don't have any here either."
“…”
Lu Yun frowned immediately. Could it be that he was wrong?
Or...someone carries this thing with them?
He thought for a moment, and then explained to Shangguan Yan, "Since nothing relevant was found in their room."
"Then, Brother Shangguan, could you please allow my men to search them thoroughly?"
"If it's inconvenient for the women, I can ask some palace maids to come over."
Shangguan Yan didn't think much about it. He was helping Eunuch Lu investigate the case as requested by his father.
"Can."
Lu Yun nodded, and then asked his eunuchs and guards to search these people as soon as possible.
At the same time, some palace maids were brought from the palace at full speed, and these female family members were also searched.
The result... was not found.
Lu Yun was stunned at this moment. What was going on?
Still nothing, no trace of the poisonous insect at all?
Something's wrong, something's wrong!
He suddenly remembered that if he carried the insect with him, there was another way for it to enter his body.
Then you can’t find it, no matter how hard you try…
Just as he was thinking, a baby's cry suddenly came from among the family members.
Lu Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman holding a child, comforting the child in her arms.
"she is?"
Shangguan Yan explained: "Eunuch Lu, this is my youngest concubine, about the same age as my sister..."
Lu Yun suddenly realized and couldn't help but despise General Shangguan in his heart. He thought that General Shangguan was living a comfortable life.
Even though he is already an old man, he can still find a concubine who is almost the same age as his daughter.
In ancient times, rich and powerful people seemed to live a good life.
"What's wrong with the child?" Lu Yun pointed at the woman and shouted loudly.
The woman's face was pale as she replied weakly, "Sir, the child was born not long ago. He must have been frightened by those people under your command just now."
"The child did not mean to cry, please forgive me, sir."
Lu Yun looked at the woman and for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
Something is so wrong!
At this moment, he felt like his brain was about to burn. What was the insect most afraid of?
Mugwort!
Yes! It’s mugwort!
The smoke emitted after burning mugwort can force the poisonous insects out of the body.
If this trick doesn't work, it means that the General's Mansion does not have the murderer he wants.
"Brother Shangguan, do you have any mugwort at home?"
Shangguan Yan shook her head. "No, how could our General's Mansion have such herbs?"
"Okay then. I'll ask someone to get some mugwort."
After a while, his men bought a lot of mugwort from the pharmacy.
Lu Yun glanced at everyone present with a wicked smile and lit the mugwort. The thick smoke that came out in an instant was very pungent.
He asked people to hold the burning mugwort in their hands and move back and forth among the crowd, so that all the family members in the mansion could inhale the mugwort into their mouths and noses.
But at this moment, the woman holding the child came forward and said weakly, "Sir, my child can't stand the thick smoke."
"Why don't you just carry him inside?"
Lu Yun wanted to agree, after all, he was just a child, but then he thought, it’s not right!
What’s so unbearable about this!
There is something wrong with this woman, or perhaps there is something wrong with this child.
"Stop! I didn't agree to what you just said."
