C10 Find the Real Killer

Yu Zixuan carried Mo Yitong into Mo Yitong's room and gently put her on the bed. Mo Yitong's face was rosy due to being drunk. Her long eyelashes were like two butterflies resting on Mo Yitong's eyelids.

"Come, have a nap." Yu Zixuan gave the pillow to Mo Yitong. When he stood up, he found that he couldn't get up. Mo Yitong's hands were tightly holding onto Yu Zixuan's clothes.

"Yitong, be good and let me go." Yu Zixuan laughed and tried to take Lili's hand off, but he couldn't.

"Yitong, be good."

"Zixuan..." Lili closed her eyes and, with a slight movement of her mouth, called out Yu Zixuan's name, Zixuan, Zixuan.

"Yitong, what's wrong?" Yu Zixuan sat beside Mo Yitong's bed. Looking at Mo Yitong's pretty face and hearing Mo Yitong constantly calling his name, Yu Zixuan's heart was pounding like a little deer.

"I like you, Zixuan."

It wasn't loud, and it was a little vague, but Yu Zixuan heard it clearly, he heard it, and Mo Yitong said, Zixuan, I like you, Zixuan...

"I really like you." Lili was still murmuring in a daze, gradually falling asleep. She slowly loosened her hold on Yu Zixuan's lapel, but Yu Zixuan didn't leave. Instead, he moved a stool to sit beside Lili and whispered, "Yitong, Zixuan likes you too."

The afterglow of the setting sun slanted into the room. Yu Zixuan's figure was beautiful in the sunlight, like a dream. However, Mo Yitong did not see it with her eyes closed.

After a long while, Yu Zixuan tucked Mo Yitong in and left.

As the birds chirped, Mo Yitong rubbed her temples and slowly opened her eyes. When was she lying on the bed? She did not know how long she slept, but she slowly sat up, her entire body was sore. After yesterday's exploration and knowing that someone had been killed, Mo Yitong did not stop her steps for a single moment, finally, her entire body was sore. She hammered her thighs and calves with both of her hands, then slowly sat up, put on her clothes, washed her face, and completely woke up.

She sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair as she analyzed the case. Yesterday, the deceased had been poisoned to death by poison, so the mysterious person with the dragon-blood jade pendant had used medicine in her tea or food …

"Medicine, medicine …" Every time Mo Yitong repeated it, she would knock the table with her gold-silver flower hairpin. Suddenly, she remembered the ring, and hurriedly opened the drawer, revealing a lake-blue gem ring that emitted a faint glow under the morning light. Mo Yitong confidently looked at the ring, and suddenly, bada, the lake-blue gem was opened by Mo Yitong by accident.

Mo Yitong carelessly combed her hair and quickly ran toward the front hall.

At this moment, Yu Zixuan was drinking medicine. Although his wound had already recovered, the doctor had instructed him to take some medicine.

"Zixuan, Zixuan, I've found the way!" Mo Yitong quickly ran up to Yu Zixuan. Yu Zixuan put down the medicine bowl and asked, "What did you find?"

"Look." Mo Yitong held the ring in front of Yu Zixuan and pressed the lake-blue gem gently. The gem opened by itself, revealing a dark, circular grid below it.

"And powder!" Yu Zixuan looked at the white powder in shock and shouted, "Men! Men! Prepare the horse!" "Faster!"

The two of them had no time to eat breakfast as they rode on their horses and arrived at the Apocalypse Hall.

The Hall of Healing had a history of over a hundred years. Every generation's medicine masters were all knowledgeable about various medicines. This generation's medicine refiner was none other than Li Yue and Li Li.

"General Yu." Seeing Yu Zixuan dismount from his horse and arrive at the door, Apothecary Li hurriedly came out to welcome him.

"Apothecary Li, can you help me take a look at the white powder inside?" Yu Zixuan asked hastily. The pharmacist took the ring and used a small bamboo stick to scrape the remaining powder onto a piece of paper.

"General, forgive this commoner for being incompetent, but this commoner is temporarily unable to differentiate what medicine it is. Only after this commoner has found my two senior brothers and discussed with them will we be able to give the general an answer." The pharmacist said.

"How many days will it take at the earliest?"

"Three days is enough."

"Alright."

Yu Zixuan took back the ring and Mo Yitong returned to General Mansion.

Three days later, Yu Zixuan brought Mo Yitong to the Hall of Rejuvenation as promised.

"Apothecary Li, have you found out what it was?" Mo Yitong asked in a hurry.

This is a fatal poison that has been lost for a long time. Everyone calls it the Piercing Intestinal Powder, and when it is placed into water, it is colorless and tasteless, and people take it, there is no pain, so their lives will be lost. Legend has it that only a court pharmacist in the early period of the previous dynasty could develop it, and it has been lost for many years. "

"Oh? Then, may the alchemist give me some pointers? Who else in this world would develop this medicine? "

In Xiao City, there is a person called Huang Ye who is the only descendant of the old mister Huang who invented the deadly intestinal tract, perhaps he can provide some useful information to the general. "

"Thank you, Alchemist. Goodbye." Yu Zixuan and Mo Yitong immediately rushed to Xiao City. After a few inquiries, they found the "Huang Ye" that Apothecary Li mentioned.

"Dong, dong, dong." Yu Zixuan knocked on the door of the Huangye Family. Not long after, a middle-aged man about 40 years old opened the door.

"May I ask who you are looking for?"

"We're looking for Mr. Huang Ye."

"I am, the two of you, are you going to see a doctor or get some medicine?" Huang Ye asked gently.

"We are neither seeing a doctor nor taking medicine. We want to inquire about something from Mr. Huang." Yu Zixuan also replied gently.

"What is it?"

"This …" Yu Zixuan opened the paper bag and handed it to Huang Ye. Huang Ye took it over and opened it to take a look. He couldn't help but frown and asked with a worried look, "What do you two want to ask?"

"May I ask if this medicine came from you?"

"Yes." Huang Ye answered without hesitation.

"Who was it given to?"

"I sold it to a well-dressed man. You two have come here, could it be that someone used this medicine to kill someone? " Huang Ye asked.

"Yes, there has been a series of murders recently. This is what the killer used to kill people." Yu Zixuan also told the truth.

"Sigh, it's all my fault." Huang Ye sighed heavily: "I really shouldn't have been so afraid of death, so I gave the medicine out …" This has caused the death of a person, it is truly a sin. "

"Mr. Huang, it's not your fault, you can't do anything about it. But, can you tell us what the person who bought the medicine looks like?" Mo Yitong stepped forward and asked.

"Alright, I'll draw a picture for you." Huang Ye said.

"Thank you very much." Yu Zixuan cupped his hands in thanks.

Not long after, a portrait appeared in Huang Ye's hand. Mo Yitong brought it over and took a look, and it was indeed very similar to the man with the dragon-blood jade pendant that she saw.

Yu Zixuan thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, what's this person's name? Where does he live? Can you tell us?" Huang Ye shook his head: "That person didn't say anything. He just took the medicine and left. However, I saw he was heading towards the east."

"Thank you very much." Mo Yitong and Yu Zixuan looked at each other for a moment, then got on their horses and went back to the capital. They did as Huang Ye said, going to the east. That weird person should be the capital.

Returning to the General Mansion, Yu Zixuan called for a master painter to draw thousands of paintings overnight and distributed them to the high ranking officers. He demanded for all the city gates to be strictly checked and guarded, and to notify him immediately when he saw this person.

Within a few days, the general from the west side of the city came to report that he had caught the person in the portrait. Yu Zixuan was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to escort him over, inside the hall stood a black man, tall and thin, with long hair draped over his shoulders.

Yu Zixuan was shocked, he pointed to the people below and asked: "How can you have such a vicious heart? You won't even let the pregnant women go. How did these people offend you? for you to be so merciless? "

"When I was down and out, my wife had to give birth, so I couldn't find the midwife without money. I thought that since I had a good relationship with them in the past, I would borrow money from them, but who knew that none of them would be willing to lend it to me, causing my wife to die in childbirth. One dead, two alive, of course I would let them die with my wife and children!" As he spoke, the man gritted his teeth and pulled at his clothes inch by inch. Suddenly, he faced the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, hahaha, now that I've taken my revenge, my wife and children are gone too. If you want to kill me, kill me."

Yu Zixuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Push it out, behead him!"

The case is over, Yu Zixuan was still a little disappointed as he muttered to himself: "This man is not some evil person in the first place, it's just that he got into trouble due to living a rough life. "It seems that the people do not live a good enough life …"

Aa Lyu was happily talking about what had happened in the court when she saw Mo Yitong wearing a pink festooned dress, her hair tied into a very fresh and gentle bun, her hair tied into a colorful bun with a golden butterfly on top. On the right side was a single flower, and a large strand of straight black hair was hanging down from her shoulder, just like the legendary Chang'e, causing the group of girls to open their eyes wide and watch Mo Yitong walk over with a smile on their faces.

"Aa Lyu, do you know where Zixuan is?"

Aa Lyu tried her best not to laugh. "Your servant saw the general standing in the back garden. Miss Mo, quickly go take a look."

Mo Yitong smiled and then quickly walked to the back garden. The girls kept chattering and started talking again.

One of them said: "We will soon have a general's wife at General Mansion."

"That's right, that's right. Don't you see how Miss Mo doesn't look? With such simple attire, she really is a match for our general." Another one said.

Aa Lyu smiled and said, "This is great now. I wonder how much money we'll be rewarded for this."

"You, Aa Lyu, you can only recognize money."

Everyone burst into laughter. After chatting for a while, they finally dispersed.

Mo Yitong walked quickly to the back garden and saw Yu Zixuan standing under a locust tree in a moon-white robe, thinking.

Mo Yitong snickered and slowly walked behind Yu Zixuan. She covered Wu Tie's eyes and pretended to be coarse as she said, "General Yu, guess who I am?"

Yu Zixuan smiled, "I'm guessing you're Mo Yitong, little naughty girl …"

"How do you know?" Mo Yitong put her hands down and asked resentfully and happily.

"I feel it." Yu Zixuan turned around and used his finger to scratch Mo Yitong's nose lightly …

"Hmph." Mo Yitong pouted, "Why do you feel it? "You must have seen me coming from afar. You did it on purpose."

"I really didn't do it on purpose. However, let me tell you one thing, in this General Mansion, there is no one who would dare to tease me like you." Yu Zixuan pretended to be serious.

Mo Yitong lowered her head and gave an embarrassed smile, suddenly remembering Yu Zixuan's pondering look as she asked, "Zixuan, what were you thinking about just now? Aren't you supposed to be happy that the case was solved? "

"I didn't think anything of it. The case has been solved and I'm feeling good, so I looked at the sky."

"Oh, so it's like that." Mo Yitong nodded and said, "I didn't expect the case to be solved so easily. I felt like I was in a dream."

"Hur hur." Yu Zixuan smiled: "Let's go play kite. I didn't see enough last time."

Mo Yitong was overjoyed upon hearing this. She jumped up and down as she followed Yu Zixuan out of the General Mansion …
