After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Wang Yugui smiled and said, "Captain Liu, it's like this. A few days ago, I went to Shuijing Temple to paint a portrait early in the morning..."

"I saw the donor Ji in front of the temple!"

"Oh, Painter Xiao Wang, have you seen the donor Ji? Who is she?" Captain Liu asked hurriedly.

Wang Yugui looked at Captain Liu and did not answer his question. He suddenly asked, "Captain Liu, do you know the surname of the madam of Yihonglou?"

"Hey, Painter Wang, it's already so late. We're just talking about business. Why are you suddenly asking about the madam of Yihonglou?" Captain Liu didn't react for a moment. He looked at Wang Yugui and frowned.

Suddenly, he slapped the table and said, "Oh, the madam of Yihonglou is also named Ji!"

Then he looked at Wang Yugui with wide eyes: "Little Painter Wang, are you saying that the donor Ji is the madam of Yihonglou?"

"Captain Liu, are you sure the madam of Yihonglou is also surnamed Ji?" Wang Yugui did not rush to answer, but asked in return:

Captain Liu nodded: "Yes, I checked the files when Yihonglou caught fire last time. The madam's real name was Ji Meiyun."

"When Ji Meiyun was young, she was a prostitute in Wangchun Tower in Huaizhou City."

"She was quite pretty when she was young, and later she was spotted by a well-known Mr. Xu, who funded her and sent her to Wangtian County to open Yihonglou."

"So, this madam often calls herself Xu to others and rarely mentions her real name. Her real surname is Ji."

"Yes, that's right. The donor Ji I saw in front of the nunnery that day really looked like the madam of Yihonglou, except that she was wearing a simple woman's outfit at that time." "But I recognized her face at first sight!" Wang Yugui nodded.

After hearing this, Captain Liu was surprised and delighted: "Oh, it's really like searching for something without any effort, but now it's found without any effort."

"I didn't expect that the madam was the donor Ji. Painter Xiao Wang, you have helped us a lot!"

After saying that, he frowned and looked at Wang Yugui: "Little Painter Wang, why did the madam go to Shuijing Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

"Oh, why does this sound so weird to me? It's like chanting Buddha's name while slaughtering a pig. Why is it so disgusting?"

"Yes, I was also shocked at the time. The madam went to the nunnery to burn incense and worship Buddha and stayed overnight. It was really novel."

"Could it be that he has done too many bad things and is praying to Buddha for peace?" Wang Yugui smiled.

He added: "I heard that she particularly likes the little nun Jingyin, saying that she looks like her daughter who died early!"

"Ah? There is such a thing?" After hearing this, Captain Liu touched his head with a smile and said, "Oh, it seems there is a story behind this."

"Could that little nun Jingyin be the illegitimate daughter of the madam? Haha, if that's true, it would be a strange thing for the madam's daughter to become a nun!"

"Captain Liu, you can't say that. Besides, it doesn't seem to be related to this case." Wang Yugui also laughed.

Captain Liu laughed: "Whether it is related or not, we have to check it out to know!"

Then he stood up and said, "Painter Xiao Wang, I'll go to Yihonglou now."

"By the way, are you free this afternoon? Lord Hai wants you to go to the government office!"

"Oh, OK, I will definitely go." Wang Yugui nodded and stood up.

I thought to myself: Mr. Hai is looking for me, so I have to go even if he has something to ask!

After seeing off Captain Liu, Wang Yugui felt much better. He washed up and went straight to have lunch.

In the afternoon, I went to the county government office on time to meet County Magistrate Hai.

"Master Wang, you know everything about Mr. Zhang San's case, right?" When County Magistrate Hai saw Wang Yugui, he asked directly without beating around the bush.

Wang Yugui said hurriedly, "Yes, sir, I just heard from Captain Liu that I know the basic facts of the case!"

"Well, very good." Master Hai nodded, looked at Wang Yugui and smiled: "Master Wang, what do you think about this case?"

"Sir, I think that if we catch the person who poisoned the placenta now, all the mysteries will be solved," Wang Yugui replied hurriedly.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Hai smiled slightly and said, "Master Painter Xiao Wang, what you said is equivalent to saying nothing. Ah, haha!"

"Yes, the key is how to catch the person who poisoned the food," Wang Yugui also laughed and added.

County Magistrate Hai nodded and said, "What a pity! We still haven't figured out what kind of poison the thieves put in the tea leaves!"

"Otherwise, if we start with the poison, we might make some new discoveries!"

"Sir, the coroner and Doctor Wang haven't figured out what the poison is?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly.

Magistrate Hai nodded: "Yes, but it is definitely not a common poison like arsenic!"

County Magistrate Hai said as he took a package from the table and handed it to Wang Yugui: "Master Painter Wang, take a look, this is the package of tea!"

Wang Yugui took the bag of tea and looked at it carefully. The tea gave off bursts of tea fragrance, and the leaves were slender with many tender buds mixed in. It looked like this year's new tea.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this tea!

So where did the poison come from? Did they soak it in poisonous water? No, that's not right. The tea leaves look dry. If they were soaked in poisonous water and then dried, how toxic would they be?

There is nothing abnormal on the leaves!

Wang Yugui was watching and thinking, when suddenly, his eyes stopped on those tender sprouts. These tender sprouts looked familiar!

Oh, I remembered it now. A light bulb went off in Wang Yugui’s head: oleander!

That day, because his eldest sister asked him to go home and draw the oleander for Wang and his second sister, he ran to the wall of the nunnery and carefully observed the flowers, branches and leaves of the oleander.

The tender buds in this tea are very similar to the tender buds on oleander!

Thinking of this, Wang Yugui couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, that's it!"

"Master Wang, what have you discovered?" Magistrate Hai asked hurriedly.

Wang Yugui looked up at Lord Hai and said, "Sir, have you ever been to Shuijing Temple?"

"That is a nunnery, a place for women to practice meditation. This county has never been there," said the county magistrate.

Wang Yugui asked again: "Sir, did Nianshan Nianshan tell you that there is a magical flower in their nunnery?"

"The magic flower? Nun Nianshan never mentioned it," County Magistrate Hai said, looking at Wang Yugui: "Why, Little Painter Wang, is this tea related to the magic flower?"

Wang Yugui nodded and said, "Sir, if I remember correctly, these small buds in the tea leaves should be the buds of the magic flower."

“The tea leaves inside may also contain some leaves of the divine flower!”

"Oh, Painter Xiao Wang, is that magical flower poisonous?" County Magistrate Hai was shocked and hurriedly took the bag of tea to check.

Wang Yugui nodded: "Yes, sir, I have seen this flower in an ancient book."

"This flower is called oleander or willow-leaf peach because its flowers are as bright as peach blossoms and its leaves are like willows and bamboos. It was originally a foreign vassal."

"This flower looks beautiful, but its flowers, leaves and branches are all highly poisonous. If eaten by mistake, it may be fatal!"
