MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 358 Good luck
Chapter 358 Good luck
Seeing that Bi Shangshu frowned but did not speak, Bi Hongsheng was a little anxious, "Brother, why don't you speak? Do you know who wants to harm my mother?"
“Are you the Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Industry? If it were you, Ding You, he would be the one who benefited the most. It must have been the hand of that **** Li Ji. I’ll go find him to settle the score.”
Bi Shangshu looked at him with a headache, "Second brother, don't be impulsive. There is no evidence for this matter, and it is useless even if you go to him. There is no scar on the back of Li Ji's hand, and I am not sure it was him."
Bi Hongsheng looked worried, "What should we do now?"
Since the emperor handed over the matter to Jin Yiwei, Ning Chuyi said quietly, "I will investigate this matter."
The two Shangshu brothers were overjoyed. Jin Yiwei had rich experience, so Ning Chuyi was the best one to investigate.
The wife had several illnesses and was in a coma for about a month. The situation was not optimistic.
They have to find the person behind it as soon as possible.
After leaving the Ministry of Industry's Shangshu Mansion, Ling Chu asked Ning Chuyi, "Where do you plan to start?"
“Drug shop.”
Ling Chu smiled immediately, which coincided with her thoughts.
Bi Shangshu remembered too few clues. There were stone lions at the gates of many houses in Kyoto. It was too slow to search them one by one.
It would be faster to start from the drug store.
Ning Chuyi dispersed the Jin Yiwei he brought and went to various drug stores to inquire.
Ning Chuyi was about to mount his horse when he saw Ling Chu taking out copper coins.
There are many pharmacies in Kyoto, and it takes a lot of time to find one.
But luckily she knows how to tell fortunes.
Ning Chuyi stood aside quietly and waited.
Lingchu first did some calculations, then muttered something, and finally scattered the copper coins.
Soon a smile appeared on his face.
“Good luck to you.” Ling Chu put away the copper coins and pointed to the right, “Sir, go this way.”
Ning Chuyi nodded slightly, mounted the horse and pulled the reins.
Ling Chu also quickly followed.
After half a cup of tea, I saw a medicine shop.
Seeing that it was Jin Yiwei who came to investigate the case, everyone in the drug store, from the shopkeeper to the little boy who took the medicine, answered their questions in a polite manner.
I just asked a few people, but I didn’t get any clues.
However, the expression on Ning Chuyi's face did not change. He had confidence in Ling Chu's hexagram skills.
Sure enough, when he asked about the fifth family, the doctor was startled and said, "There is one person who matches the symptoms you mentioned."
Ling Chu was delighted, "May I ask the doctor, who is he?"
The doctor glanced at Ning Chuyi subconsciously and saw that his face was cold and solemn, so he did not dare to hide it, "Mrs. Zhou Jiang from Qili Lane."
“Did the doctor examine Mrs. Zhou?”
The doctor nodded, "Yes, but that was already a month ago."
“Can the doctor cure Mrs. Zhou?”
“Mrs. Zhou was suffering from several diseases and was unconscious. My ability was limited and I couldn’t cure her after half a month of treatment.”
“Is Mrs. Zhou still unconscious?”
"I don't know... I don't know. Zhou Jiang hasn't come to see me for a consultation for a long time, but Mrs. Zhou's condition is very serious. I'm afraid there will be no one left now."
The man standing next to him moved his mouth, as if he had something to say.
But I didn’t know if I had any concerns, so I didn’t speak.
Ning Chuyi's expression was cold, "If anyone with knowledge dares to conceal it and refuse to report it, there will still be room in Jinyiwei's prison."
The clerk's expression changed and he immediately smiled in a flattering manner, "It was a coincidence that I happened to meet Zhou Jiang and his wife on the street a few days ago. Mrs. Zhou was not dead, and she has recovered."
The doctor frowned, "That shouldn't be the case. Madam Zhou's condition was so serious that time. Even if she wasn't dead, she would have been in a coma. How could she be cured?"
"Doctor Wang, this is absolutely true. I was curious at the time and asked Zhou Jiang. According to him, he found an imperial doctor to cure his wife."
Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi looked at each other.
This guy shouldn't be lying. After all, they will know if Mrs. Zhou has recovered.
But Zhou Jiang’s words are not credible.
Mrs. Zhou's illness was exactly the same as that of the wife of the Minister of Industry and Commerce. If the imperial doctor could cure her, there would be no way he could do nothing about the illness of the wife. Ning Chuyi looked at the clerk, "Did Zhou Jiang get the medicine at your shop earlier?"
"yes."
“Is there a scar on the back of his hand?”
The guy was surprised and flattered him by the way, "Your Excellency is really great, everyone knows this."
Ning Chuyi’s expression remained unchanged, “Can you tell what the injury is?”
“Burn”, the guy stretched out the back of his hand and gestured about the size and location.
It is consistent with what Bi Shangshu saw in his dream.
All that's left is to go to Zhou Jiang's house and see if the hair of the stone lion at the door is damaged.
Getting ready to leave.
A man and a woman walked into the drug store.
Seeing the person coming, the waiter looked surprised and blurted out, "Zhou Jiang."
Ning Chuyi raised his eyebrows.
It is indeed a good thing.
Zhou Jiang stepped into the medicine shop and saw Ning Chuyi in Feiyu suit, and his expression changed.
Subconsciously, I wanted to exit quietly, but unexpectedly, I was stopped by the waiter.
Seeing Ning Chuyi looking towards him, if he left at this time, it would inevitably make people suspicious.
Zhou Jiang could only walk to the medicine shop pretending that nothing had happened.
Hello to the guy with a smile.
Lingchu's eyes fell on the back of Zhou Jiang's hand holding the woman.
From her position, she happened to see a scar shaped like a copper coin.
Noticing her gaze, Zhou Jiang's heart tightened.
Before he could think of a way to cover it up, Ning Chuyi had already waved to Jin Yiwei behind him.
"I didn't break the law, you can't arrest me." Zhou Jiang was suddenly grabbed by the arm by two Jinyi guards, and he struggled angrily.
Seeing that he couldn't get away, the woman next to him immediately shouted, "I just came to the pharmacy with my husband for a consultation. Why do you arrest him? Do you have any legal laws?"
Mrs. Zhou deliberately shouted at the top of her voice. When she heard the noise, many people immediately gathered outside the door.
The arresting guard's face did not change.
Mrs. Zhou screamed again, "Help, Jin Yiwei killed someone."
“It is unjust for Jinyiwei to arrest innocent people randomly...”
Ling Chu was so noisy by the shout that his head was buzzing.
More and more people gathered outside, whispering and pointing.
“Mrs. Zhou, you are not innocent people.”
Hearing her words, Mrs. Zhou glared at her with her hands on her hips, "Even if you are Jin Yiwei, you can't open your eyes and tell lies. My husband and I just came to see a doctor, but you were arrested as soon as we entered the door, and you said we weren't arresting people randomly!" "
"Both the doctor and the clerk have seen this. If you don't believe me, ask them and they will know whether what I said is true."
Suddenly being dragged into the water, the doctor and the waiter looked uneasy and did not dare to speak.
Ling Chu didn’t make things difficult for them either.
He said directly, "Mrs. Zhou, you were seriously ill and unconscious. It was your husband Zhou Jiang who used some means to transfer your illness to the wife of the Minister of Industry..."
Mrs. Zhou's expression changed and she interrupted her loudly, "You are trying to confuse the public with your lies. Who has ever heard that the disease can be transferred?"
Bi Hongsheng squeezed in from the crowd and said with a serious face, "She didn't lie. This is true."
After speaking, he stared at Zhou Jiang and said, "It's you, lend me the medicine pot."
