Chapter 104 The medicine is poisonous!
The scene was very quiet for a while.
At this moment, Doctor Bai's eyes were wide open and the corners of his lips were trembling slightly.
"This...this...this...how is this possible!"
He subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the cage to confirm whether the two mice were really dead or just pretending to be dead.
However, Madam Qin on the side had already spoken, her voice cold: "Come here, someone is poisoning the general, arrest him!"
The guards of the general's mansion, led by Uncle Chen, rushed in immediately and tied up Doctor Bai.
Doctor Bai was already old and didn't even have the strength to struggle, so he was quickly pinned to the ground.
"I didn't poison them. There must be something wrong with these two rats. They were almost dead. General, please trust me. I can really cure your injuries!"
Mrs. Qin was so angry that her whole body was shaking slightly. "You are a liar, and you still have the nerve to make excuses? Send this bottle of medicine and the two mice in the cage to jail!"
Poisoning a general is a serious crime.
Although General Qin is no longer in the court, he had made countless military achievements in the past and can still receive a salary from the court every year and hold the rank of general.
Qin Mingzhu whispered a few words to comfort her mother.
"Mom, I'm going to ask him first, who arranged for him to do this? If he dares to hurt Dad, I will definitely not let him go!"
Mrs. Qin nodded: "Okay, be careful."
Qin Mingzhu followed Uncle Chen and asked someone to send the old doctor Bai to the woodshed next door.
The old doctor Bai was thrown directly to the ground, surrounded by more than a dozen guards.
He didn't pretend to be an immortal this time. When he saw Qin Mingzhu coming over and saw that she had a kind face, he immediately rubbed his hands and pleaded, "Miss, I really didn't poison you. If you don't believe me, you can give me the bottle of medicine. I dare to eat it all in one breath!"
Qin Mingzhu smiled and nodded when she heard this.
"Uncle Chen, give him the medicine."
Uncle Chen said to give it to him, so Doctor Bai took the medicine bottle and was about to pour the medicine into his mouth, but when he saw Qin Mingzhu's smiling mouth, he suddenly thought of a result that made him feel creepy.
That is... the medicine in the bottle was replaced with poison.
"Eat, why don't you eat anymore?"
Qin Mingzhu raised an eyebrow, looked at the old doctor Bai who hesitated for a long time and refused to take the medicine, and slowly said: "Do you want me to feed you?"
"Girl, please spare me, please spare me!"
Doctor Bai knelt down and kowtowed, and soon his forehead turned red.
"I'll ask you a few questions. Answer them truthfully."
Doctor Bai's eyes seemed to light up.
"As long as you can let me go, I will tell you everything I know!"
Qin Mingzhu looked indifferent: "Who arranged for you to come to the General's Mansion?"
"What?"
The old doctor Bai looked confused, as if he really knew nothing.
Qin Mingzhu said, "Don't hide it. I know someone is behind you, telling you to spread the word about your medical skills within just six months and attract the attention of the Qin family. Everyone knows that our Qin family is looking for a doctor. It's easy to set up this kind of trap."
The face of the old doctor Bai gradually turned pale.
His pupils suddenly constricted. He had never expected that Qin Mingzhu knew so much.
"Miss Qin, you're joking. No one ordered me to do this. I just...just wanted to swindle some money. I didn't mean to kill or rob you. It's really unfair to accuse me of poisoning the general. How dare I do that!"
Qin Mingzhu certainly knew that the medicine could not be poisonous.
Only those who wronged him know how wronged he was.
Qin Mingzhu put the rat poison in the snacks, and the two mice died after eating them.
"Let me guess, the person who ordered you to do this must be an enemy of my Qin family. There are only a few people who have targeted my Qin family in recent years, and even though they have put so much effort into it, there are only a few who can benefit from it..."
Qin Mingzhu's voice was very clear and distinct, and she spoke very logically.
She touched her chin and walked slowly around the old doctor Bai, wondering who had ordered the old doctor to do this.
At first glance, it seems that this old doctor Bai is a money-swindler. However, if that were the case, he would not have been able to conceal the fact for half a year without anyone discovering that he was a liar and could not cure any illness.
There must be someone who secretly found others to cooperate with him in acting and promoted it everywhere, which made him famous.
In today's Southern Yan Kingdom, it is not easy to become famous, especially for a little-known mountain village.
"My father's enemies targeted the Qin family quite often in the early years, but in the past two years, they simply stopped doing so. Doing so would only bring them no benefits and leave them in a mess. Therefore, the person who truly wants my father to die sooner than later must be the master of the person who hurt my father..."
Qin Mingzhu thought about it. Although it was just a guess, she felt that it was almost correct.
Her father had a very good relationship with the old marquis, and the old marquis was killed. In the eyes of the people behind the scenes, her father might know something.
However, in recent years, General Qin has been completely decadent, and no news has come out from the Qin family. Gradually, the person behind the scenes has become less anxious and wants to kill him with one strike without making any noise.
This old genius doctor Bai is most likely one of the people behind the scenes.
If Qin Mingzhu had not thought about the fact that her father's condition worsened not long after this old man came in her previous life, she would not have thought that the appearance of this old liar had so many profound meanings.
If her guess was true, then the person who arranged this incident was definitely not a simple person, but a complete scoundrel...
"Tell me, which prince asked you to do this?"
The cold sweat on the forehead of the old doctor Bai was about to fall.
He suppressed his trembling body and said, "I really don't understand what you are saying, young lady!"
"It's okay if you don't tell me. You poisoned my father. I'll hand you over to the Governor's Office and have them interrogate you. Even the Northern Frontier spies couldn't make it through and revealed a lot of secrets. Do you think you can handle it?"
The old doctor Bai’s eyes widened instantly.
The pupils contracted to the extreme.
He had heard of the punishments in the Yanjing Governor's Office, which seemed even more terrible than those in the Ministry of Justice.
The prisoners held there are usually of unusual status. For an old man like him, once he goes in, he will probably suffer a fate worse than death!
"Miss Qin, I'm telling you... I'm telling you everything. If you promise to let me go, I'll tell you everything!"
In order to survive, the old doctor Bai risked everything.
Anyway, he might be able to save his life now if he betrayed the person behind the scenes, but if he didn't tell anyone, he would probably die now, and die miserably.
"good."
Qin Mingzhu agreed seriously: "Tell me, if you tell a lie, I will send you to the Governor's Mansion."
"Yes, yes, I dare not deceive you, young lady. Half a year ago, someone did give me a large sum of money and asked me to pretend to be a miracle doctor. Every once in a while, they would arrange for a patient to come to me for treatment. After they left, they would spread the word about my miraculous healing skills and how they had cured many serious illnesses. I... I was a little scared at first, but then the other party gave me more and more money, saying that when the Qin family in the capital invited me to treat them soon, I would find a way to aggravate the patient's condition..."
