Chapter Sixty-Two: Looking for Empress Shen
When the great evil god Luo Yuanyi appeared, he immediately made a series of tricks. Before Wang Kai could defend himself, he fell to the ground and looked for teeth.
At that time, when Guo Nuan shouted to Wang Kai, Wang Kai's face turned pale and he muttered to himself, but Guo Nuan did not hear it clearly. Moreover, Wang Kai did not answer the question according to the bet, and then picked up a knife on the ground and cut his neck and committed suicide.
Speaking of which, Guo Nuan actually didn't want Wang Kai's life. Unexpectedly, he didn't ask anything, but died simply. The clue was broken again.
The hundreds of gamblers in the casino had dispersed, and the yamen runners who had been deploying defenses above the basement of the casino for more than a hundred years rushed in, but without any need to make a big fuss, Guo Nuan took Luo Yuan and settled everything.
"Uh? Why is the last dump of the cup empty?"
Just as the honest young man stood up with trembling legs and took a pack of silver rewards given to him by Guo Nuan, he had survived the disaster and looked at the white silver before he could have had time to be happy, accidentally knocked over the last cup on the gambling table. The cup that had not been lifted yet fell to the ground, and there were no dice inside. The honest young man was very confused.
"Oh, the casino owner who had already braided his hair really cheated. It turned out that the dice was secretly transferred by Wang Kai when he was dumping the cup. There were no dice in the three dumping cups at all."
Then the honest young man suddenly realized, but he sighed for a while: "I am worthy of being Lord Guo. Not only is he good at playing the flute, but he is also awesome in gambling. Wang Kai has been obsessed with the gambling world for decades, but he is still in the hands of Lord Jingzhao Yin! It's so unlucky. He dares to play tricks with Lord Guo Nuan and shamelessly cheat... He deserves to die well!"
The honest boy talks a lot, and happily jumps out of the gambling house with a large bag of silver that Guo Nuan rewards him.
"Hey, sir, how did you guess that Wang Kai would cheat?"
Since Luo Yuan served as a member of the Jingzhao Prefecture and served as a record officer, he changed his words to call Guo Nuan an adult. At first, Guo Nuan couldn't stand it and asked Luo Yuan to change his original name to call Brother Guo more kind, but Luo Yuan was very stubborn. He felt that since he was in the government, he had to abide by the rules and not casually.
Guo Nuan, Yan Ruoshui and others returned to the yamen first. At this moment, the group was walking on the street, leaving dozens of yamen runners to handle the finishing work of Rongsheng's gambling house. When Luo Yuan asked curiously, Yan Ruoshui next to Guo Nuan also curiously turned her head and looked at him with beautiful almond eyes, hoping to get an answer.
"What else? I used words to squeeze Wang Kai from beginning to end, pretending to win the gambling game. He shook his confidence and would cheat."
"Hehe, sir, it's really treacherous!"
Luo Yuan bowed to Guo Nuan very falsely, and was so impressed that Guo Nuan was amused. When he saw this, Luo Yuan and him had been with him for a long time, and such an honest person began to get much more slippery, and he actually dared to tease his boss.
Pretending to be angry and pretending to beat Luo Yuan, Yan Ruoshui watched the two men chasing and fighting on the street, and couldn't help but smile knowingly, looking up at the distance. Time passed quickly, the setting sun set in the west, and the remaining clouds hang on the sky. The woman said lightly: "Well, another day is over, but unfortunately she has been busy all day but still has no clues."

Speaking of which, a few days ago, Guo Nuan rested on a recliner in the courtyard atrium, and asked Aunt Yan, a newly recruited servant from the mansion to bring a cup of tea. The three dogs came up to report the matter. The three dogs with a keen sense of smell smelled that the tea that Guo Nuan drank contained a chronic poison in the Western Regions, called rosemary herb. This is a chronic addictive poison. People will become addicted to taking it for a long time. When it reaches a certain severity, they will also develop auditory hallucinations and vision.
If Guo Nuan had been drinking the toxic tea cooked by old lady Yan, she would die slowly within half a year. It was difficult to detect the cause of death after being poisoned by rosemary. The experienced medical officer did not find out that it was normal. However, Guo Nuan had good luck and encountered three dogs with a super keen sense of smell.
The poison of rosemary is almost colorless and tasteless in water, and is not easy to detect. However, once you know that you are infected with its poison, it is very simple to detoxify. You just need to drink a lot of aged vinegar and use its acidic alkaline poison to mix the poisonous weeds to relieve it. In the past few days, Guo Nuan has drunk less than three pounds of aged vinegar, and his teeth are almost sour, and even his spit is sour.
Soon, the cause of Guo Nuan's body's weakness in the recent past was found out. The initiator was Aunt Yan. As for why the old woman Yan poisoned and murdered Guo Nuan, he didn't know at first. So he quietly discussed it with several confidants, pretending to be nothing afterwards, while continuing to pretend to drink the tea made by Old Woman Yan, while asking his subordinates to secretly follow her every move day and night, and searching her personal belongings when she didn't notice it.
When Yan Ruoshui brought a bottle of rosemary herb powder found from the Yan old lady's wing room, a blushing and black-faced acting mask, and a half-volume file that Guo Nuan put in the inner court signing room a few days ago, Guo Nuan suddenly figured out the whole story.
"Sir, this half volume of the file is a private diary written by Wang Wan, the previous two Jingzhao Yin, and it is part of the secret you found in the library of the file." Yan Ruoshui asked at that time.
"Well, this is a record of the disappearance of Empress Shen in the Anshi Rebellion, which is extraordinary. I didn't expect it to be Aunt Yan stole it. No wonder I almost thought I had hit a ghost when I was peeing at night that night. It turned out that she was wearing a mask at that time and sneaked into my study to steal this file and I happened to be touched by me. I probably asked someone behind her to do it."
"Well, I followed her quietly the day before yesterday and found that she had contact with Wang Kai, the owner of Rongsheng Gambling House in Sanchangkou Street." Yan Ruoshui said lightly.
At that time, Guo Nuan pondered for a while, then said, "Wang Kai? Why is this name so familiar?"
"What, do you have any questions?" Yan Ruoshui asked.
"Wang Kai, Wang Wan, oh, so that's it! I understand." Guo Nuan suddenly realized, then opened the half-volume file, moved it to Yan Ruoshui's eyes, pointed to a certain paragraph of text and said to her:
"Look, it says, 'My brother Wang Wan... I've been a little uneasy recently and want to discuss something with you...'"
Guo Nuan continued excitedly: "In this letter from Wang Wan, he mentioned that he had a younger brother named Wang Kai. In combination with the old woman Yan stole the file, he quietly met with a man named Wang Kai. It is obvious that Wang Kai, who was promoted to the gambling house, is the younger brother Wang Wan said."

Things were straightened out, and it became much easier. Guo Nuan led the yamen runners to arrest the old woman Yan and interrogate him, but when he turned back to the old woman Yan's wing room again, the old woman had bit her tongue and committed suicide.
