"Fourth Miss, I found it." Song Lai gasped as he ran in, "It's a vegetable patch."

"Bring me there to take a look." Su Li put down the medicine jar and followed Song Lai out. Just as she walked out to the courtyard, the old granny's voice called out to her again, "Song Lai, did you finish spending the silver my Second Sister gave you last time?"

"Not yet, here." Song Lai pretended to take out the bag.

"Don't take it out yet." Su Li extended a hand out to stop him, then turned and looked at an official, "Go and invite the village chief over, I have something to tell him."

"Yes."

After arranging everything, Su Li followed Song Lai and walked out.

The vegetable patch that Song Lai found was not too far from Chen Ba's home.

"Find out if there are any dregs nearby." After Su Li finished speaking, he started to look for it himself.

"There's no need to look for it. The herb dregs are down here." Mo Lianjin who had been silent the entire time, looked straight ahead.

Su Li followed his line of sight, there were no dregs there, it was extremely clean, "Fifth Prince is saying, the dregs are buried under the ground?"

"Yes."

Song Lai quickly walked over, found a wooden stick, and dug around in the soft mud.

"Fourth Miss really has dregs!"

Su Li quickly walked over, and after looking at the medicinal dregs that Song Lai had pulled out, he raised his eyes and stared at Mo Lianjin, "How did you find out?"

"This King has buried too many people at the border. The new and old soil that has come up can be distinguished from each other if you read too much."

As he said this, his lips curled up into an evil smile, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He carried a depressing aura that was enough to suffocate anyone.

Su Li bit his lower lip, without saying a word, he squatted down and continued to look at the medicinal dregs that Song Lai had dug out.

"Familiar with, pregnant with medicine, unknown, female ?"

A few of them were already mixed with the juice, and it was hard to tell what they were.

"Song Lai, bring all of these medicinal dregs back as far as possible, and buy a few live rats."

"Yes."

If the rat would be poisoned to death by these dregs, then the poison could be roughly determined.

When they returned to Chen Ba's house, the Chen family's village head was already waiting for them in the courtyard.

"Village Chief Chen, Chen Ba is gone, is there no one in your village who can take care of his mother?" Su Li asked.

Chen Village Chief sighed, "Chen Ba didn't learn well when he was still alive, and he has caused countless of troubles for the villagers. The villagers hated him so much that their teeth itched, who would be willing to take care of his mother?"

Su Li indicated for Song Lai to take out the bag. She weighed it in her hand and saw that there seemed to be a lot of silver left in the bag.

Thinking about it, she threw the bag over to the village chief, "Fifth Prince is watching here, I believe you don't dare to play any tricks. The money in this bag is quite a bit, it's enough for you to take care of Chen Ba's mother's three meals a day."

The village chief took the bag and nodded his head vigorously, "If you dare to play any tricks, I will definitely take good care of old mother Chen Ba."

Seeing that the village chief was honest, Su Li did not say much and instructed the official to visit the village. He asked if any strangers appeared in the Chen Family Village, and if the person who buried the dregs was not Chen Ba, then it was very likely to be the killer.

As for her, Mo Lianjin and Song Lai, the village chief led them to the third person, Chen Shuisheng's home.

Chen Shuisheng was the third oldest at home, living with his parents and brothers. When Su Li went to live, his wife was being scolded by her sister-in-law.

Hearing that the village chief introduced them as the Fifth Prince, the two women immediately knelt down and kowtowed, afraid to make a sound.

Su Li cleared his throat and said, "We are here because of Chen Shui Sheng's case, could little aunt bring us to her room to take a look?"

Chen Shuisheng's wife trembled as she stood up and brought them into a room.

Su Li looked around, and knew that it was impossible to find new clues. Chen Shui Sheng's house was not like Chen Ba's, no matter if it was the house or the stove, they were all tidied up every day.

"Sit down, sister-in-law. I just want to ask you a few questions." Su Li smiled at her and took the seat first.

"I can't, just stand and answer."

Su Li helplessly, and could only go straight to the point, "Recall, on the day your man died, did you take any medicine?"

The woman looked at Su Li in shock, then quickly lowered her head and asked, "How does young lady know that my husband took the medicine that day?"

"Where did you get that medicine?"

"About ten days ago, a barefoot doctor came to the village. My husband ?"

The woman nervously wrung her hands, not saying anything for a long time.

"If sister-in-law has something to say, just say it." Su Li spoke softly, trying to give the woman a sense of security.

"My husband, he ? My husband didn't have a very good health these days. Unlike before, when the barefoot doctor had some aphrodisiac medicine, my husband bought one. "
