?Due to the advent of the war, many desires/desires that were usually suppressed were indulged. In addition, many "mud legs" entered the city, and there was no one to control the chaos for a while. Naturally, many people came to the brothel to cheer.

This can be regarded as a kind of doomsday panic. Anyway, it does not do any harm to the public order in the city. Instead, it can vent some people's fear and desire. The Yamen is very much in favor of such a channel and method of venting, so I bought some for the old bustard Wu Liniang. The matter of women from good families entering brothels is also turned a blind eye.

Of course, if someone really sued the yamen for forcing her into prostitution, they would still be taken care of, but at this point in time, there are really not many people coming to the yamen to file a complaint.The soldiers and yamen servants came to the Cuihua Tower during their inspections occasionally, and they didn't find anything unusual, but they didn't expect that a murder would happen after repelling the enemy.

Qiuniang was a member of a silk and satin Zhuangqiu family in the city. The whole family died in the chaos at night, but she escaped unharmed. During the investigation of Liu Bisheng's murder case, Ruan Yuzhu once listened to that in the tea shop of Shopkeeper Song. A few idlers talked about it, but she didn't care about it at the time.

After Li Yunyan went to investigate, she came back and told Ruan Yuzhu, Ruan Yuzhu still seemed to remember that there was such a thing, and said, "This Qiuniang is also a poor person, how did she die?"

Li Yunyan said: "Poisoned/dead, arsenic/shuang."

Arsenic/Frost is commonly known as Hedinghong. When it is impure, there are red impurities in it. If you eat 60 mg, it can kill a person. It works quickly. In ancient times, when the effect of gastric lavage was not high, it was easy to kill a person. .

Yuan Runxiao: "If it's not homemade arsenic/cream by a professional killer, it's bought. And the Great Wei State has regulations, whether it's buying or selling arsenic/cream, every Every detail must be recorded. We have been under martial law for a long time, and Qiuniang fell into prostitution because of the night chaos incident a while ago, so the person who wanted to kill her should have started after that. Meaning——Of course, it doesn't rule out people who have been eyeing her for a long time..."

Ruan Yuzhu said: "She has already fallen into prostitution. She has no money and no one to rely on. Even if there were people who hated her before, they might not go to the brothel to kill her again—does she have any enemies?"

The last half sentence was asked to Li Yunyan who went to the scene to investigate. Li Yunyan said: "No, I also asked. This Qiuniang is weak by nature and never argues with others. If it is not for this temperament, it may not necessarily be reduced. Let’s go to Cuihua Tower.”

Ruan Yuzhu believed Li Yunyan's investigation, and said, "Since that's the case, who would want to harm her?"

Yuan Rundao: "She was originally Miss Qianjin. After entering the brothel, the business is very good, right? Is it the jealousy among colleagues?"

Li Yunyan said: "I think so too, but after a rough investigation, no one is willing to tell the truth. We can only start with a few old prostitutes and ask them one by one."

Ruan Yuzhu waved her hand and said, "I hate dealing with such people, I'd better catch Li and you go - I'll just continue to pay attention to Miss Tong's affairs."

Li Yunyan said: "Hey, after you returned to the Yamen, did you ask Miss Mo?"

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Of course I asked. Moran insisted that he was just saying that he was overly frightened last night, and he didn't mention that he was going to die. We can only speculate that it might be a sudden death—but if he died suddenly, his expression was so peaceful, as if everything I'm all at ease, it's not like..."

Just as he was talking, a servant came outside the door, accompanied by a man who looked like a servant.The family member said to the three people: "I have seen three adults, and the youngest is a servant of Dr. Tong's family - my lady will go to the cemetery in the southeast of the city for the funeral in the afternoon, and my master asked the three if they want to go with them. "

Li Yunyan wondered: "So fast?" He didn't even pass the first seven, is there really a problem?

The servant said: "The weather is hot, and we don't know when the enemy troops will come again. Staying at home is easy to cause accidents. It's better to go to the ground as soon as possible."

The three girls thought about it too—it's still midsummer, what if the enemy army kills the carbine and besieges the city for a hundred and eighty days?

Li Yunyan said: "I have to investigate the Cuihualou murder case this afternoon, so I won't go."

Yuan Run said: "There are many things in the yamen, so I won't go either—Master Ruan will just go with Mo Wenshu."

Ruan Yuzhu gave her a blank look - you are lazy!

Yuan Run shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness—with such a small body, even if he took a sedan chair to the cemetery dozens of miles away, he would have to be bumped for a long time, how could he bear it!

The two people made eye contact here, Li Yunyan pretended not to see each other, and told the servant to go first, and then asked, "Where is Moran?"

Ruan Yuzhu said: "She doesn't believe that Miss Tong's family will die so suddenly, so she went to ask the second young master of Qiu's family to understand."

Li Yunyan said: "The second young master of the Qiu family? What does he know?"

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Who knows, looking at Moran's appearance, it seems that he has thought of something, I don't care about her anymore, let her go, and ask her when she comes back."

Li Yunyan nodded: "Did she tell you which doctors are treating Miss Tong?"

Ruan Yuzhu said: "I asked, it's Dr. Ding from 'Health Zhai'."

Yangshengzhai is the largest medical clinic in Yunlai. This time, because of the war, all the doctors in the clinic were conscripted to the military camp, and only Doctor Ding, who was relatively inferior, was left to sit in the hall.However, this level is relatively inferior, and it is also compared to other small doctors in small medical centers. The apprentices in the Yangsheng Zhai are often of a higher level than the doctors in some medical centers.So if it wasn't for Dr. Tong's official background, Dr. Ding wouldn't go to see the doctor. After all, he is the only doctor in the Yangshengzhai, and he is too busy to be dizzy every day.

Li Yunyan had also heard about these situations, so she didn't ask any more questions, so the topic returned to the Cuihualou murder case.

Now the murder case in Cuihualou is indeed the most suspected of Qiuniang's ordering of the girl Liuzhi.It's not because of her disappearance, but because Qiuniang's food is served by willow branches, and Qiuniang is very introverted by nature, and she is not like other red prostitutes who call the girl to buy this and that.

Because the women in the Cuihua Building are all prostitutes, even the envoys are too young to accept customers, and when they get older, they will also follow this path.Therefore, the number of maids is actually smaller than that of sisters. Each maid has to serve several girls. If a red prostitute orders more of her maids, other people who are also serving this maid will inevitably have to do it herself When doing things, few people order them.

If Qiuniang was such a person, the other girls served by Liuzhi might feel resentful towards Qiuniang, but Qiuniang is not such a person.And besides—even if there is such a thing, isn't it a common thing in brothels?As for murder?

Everyone knows that there is no one who is always popular, and everyone has a day when their appearance looks old and yellow. Even a young red prostitute will have a day when others get tired of playing.Whores are ruthless, actors are ruthless, but whores are ruthless?They came out just looking for excitement, looking for a woman all year round, what is the difference between looking at the same yellow-faced woman at home all day long?

In addition, Qiuniang was popular at the time, but because she came from a wealthy family, she would not flatter her, not to mention her bed/skills, how long will she be popular?

So even if Qiuniang was more arrogant, no one would kill someone because of it.

And if it is said that a stranger or a whore/customer intentionally poisoned Qiuniang, it would be even more nonsensical-could it be that they want to monopolize Qiuniang, but they can't afford to redeem her body, so they want to kill her and monopolize it?

The reason for this kind of blood is really impossible for Ruan Yuzhu, who is a time-traveling party and has watched countless bloody dramas in this world, let alone Li Yunyan.

Therefore, no matter whether Liuzhi was intentional or not, the food she brought was most likely to poison Qiuniang.So now we still have to find her.

"The city gate has been lifted, and you can leave the city freely, but if you enter the city, you still have to go through interrogation—oh, by the way, Dr. Tong will have a funeral in the afternoon, so you have to tell Lu Chao about this?" Li Yunyan said.

Yuan Run said: "It's okay, just bring a post I signed in the afternoon, and you don't have to bother Lu Chao."

While talking, it was already past noon, so he ordered the yamen to serve the meal, and asked Mingzhu and Ruyue to go to the backyard to tell Mingzhu and Ruyue that there was no need to prepare lunch, and if it was ready, let them use it for themselves, and the three of them are here We have a working meal in the yamen.

The food in the yamen is good or bad. Although it is not as good as the county magistrate's private stove, it is a change of taste to eat once in a while, and it is also "to have fun with the people". It cannot be said that the food in the yamen is poor. Even the county magistrate never eats it. Wouldn't that chill the hearts of the brothers.

Lunch was brought over, and Moran also came back at this time, and went straight into the left wing room, and saw that the three of them were there, and went forward to salute.

"How is it? What did you think of just now? Why are you in a hurry to find Master Qiu?" Ruan Yuzhu asked.

Moran sighed: "It turns out that I was wrong all the time—Miss Tong never had a good time with Song Jinzhi. Song Jinzhi was just covering for her and the second young master of the Qiu family. She has always been with the second young master Qiu."

Ruan Yuzhu nodded: "No wonder I was so hurt when I saw Master Qiu Er just now. It turned out that Dr. Tong had been dating—didn't Dr. Tong want to marry his daughter to him before? Now I can't go to Leishan County. Let’s continue the front line, it’s a pity that the confidante is unlucky!”

Moran stomped his feet: "It's not Dr. Tong, an old-fashioned old man. Once, he caught his daughter meeting with Master Qiu Er in private. He was so angry that he forbade them to have any more contact. In a fit of anger, he wanted to marry his daughter away."
