After entering the yamen and taking the person into custody, the three of them entered the yamen hall. It was quiet inside. After asking, they found out that they were all in the morgue at the back.
For some reason, one of the four big black dogs brought back from Guangda Pharmacy suddenly went crazy and died, so everyone was in the morgue watching Ji Xuan dissect the dog.
The small room was crowded with people, and the air was somewhat suffocated.
When they came in,
Just then I heard Ji Xuan say: "This dog is about seven years old and died of internal bleeding."
As Ji Xuan was talking, she heard footsteps and raised her head to see Tan Sihan and three others.
"Master Tong." Ji Xuan greeted.
"Hello, Mr. Ji, Mr. Wang is here too?" Tong Ruoqi greeted Ji Xuan and looked around the room. She was a little strange when she saw Wang Qi, but she quickly realized it.
Wang Qi nodded. He was not surprised. It was normal for Tong Ruoqi to come when Tan Sihan was here.
You know, when Tan Sihan was in the palace, Tong Ruoqi also served as a guard for a period of time. Although it was very short, it was still done.
"The reason why he died of internal bleeding was because he had eaten hard vegetation all year round." As she said that, Ji Xuan used a leaf knife to cut open the dog's stomach. Sure enough, it was all rotten inside, and there were still many undigested medicines.
Scum.
You know, dogs are carnivores, but these dogs...
Ji Xuan cut the dog clean, and several people moved forward one after another.
They went down to the dungeon. At this time, not only Cao Yue'e, Yu Er, and Baima Zhao, but also the minions brought by Guangda Pharmacy were locked up here.
The cell was dark and dark, and as soon as we entered, there was a strange smell. Everyone waited for a while before going to the innermost part.
By the time they reached the innermost part, the cell leader had already escorted several prisoners to one place.
Because the dungeon was an interrogation area that was expanded at odd hours, it was very simple. There were only a few stools for officials to sit on, and the prisoners were all shackled to the cell door.
Ye Zhuqing did not sit down, but stood opposite Cao Yue'e, leaning on the railing, and asked sternly: "Cao Yue'e, do you know there is a secret passage in the Chengque Medicine Shop?"
The voice of Tara Tara echoed in the air,
Cao Yue'e took two steps forward, looked at Ye Zhuqing seriously, and shook her head slightly after a long time.
"You don't know?" Ji Xuan was stunned and asked again.
Just now during the journey from the corpse room to the dungeon, Fang Wu had already told everyone about the secret passage.
Cao Yue'e did not delay this time and still shook her head.
Qin Sihan sighed, took a few steps forward, sat opposite Cao Yuee, handed her a stool at hand and said: "Sit down. It's uncomfortable to talk while looking up. I heard that after your mother passed away, you started selling mold.
Is that right?"
Cao Yue'e nodded, but she didn't sit down, and she didn't have any excessive emotions, just light. It seemed that it was not him who was being questioned by everyone in the deep cage.
As soon as Qin Sihan sat down, everyone present also sat down. Even Bai Xi dropped a stool, but no one heard what the locked man opposite said.
Ji Xuan dragged the stool forward a few steps: "Everyone, please be lenient if you confess, and be strict if you resist. As long as you cooperate with us and tell us something useful, then we can find the murderer based on what you said, and we will pay everyone back then."
An innocent person." Basically everyone knows that except for Cao Yuee, these people are all minions.
You don't know much about what these people do, but that doesn't mean it's useless.
"I got the news just now. You must have heard about Cao Yue'e all the way. The patient in the palace woke up. He confessed some things..." The words were said by Bai Xi.
Indeed, it was Tong Ruoqi who told them.
The palace guard with the word "Ruo" said that he was surrounded by more than a dozen people not far from Guangda Pharmacy. Those people had sticks in their hands and beat them without mercy, because they were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and he was just avoiding and attacking.
I was on defense and didn't hurt the opponent, but I couldn't stand the crowd and ended up getting injured.
After waiting to run out and avoid being chased by someone, I walked to the steps in front of the medicine shop and sat down, but I was about to start applying medicine to the wound.
A clerk came out of Guangda Pharmacy. He was polite and told him that he was being sold badly. He insisted on letting him try it. He couldn't bear it anymore and left in a hurry. Then he bought the medicine and tried to use it.
Some.
After that, I went to Xuefu County. The further I walked, the more uncomfortable I became. Later, I fainted in the eight-character alley behind Xuefu Yamen.
Tong Ruoqi came here partly to escort Cao Yuee, and partly to find out why the guard was injured.
"Yes, I heard about it. But so what? Can the Ministry of Punishment confirm that this case is related to my crime just by relying on a few words? Yes, you can just put this case on me. I don't care."
Cao Yue'e nodded,
She smiled, a little crazy.
After saying a troublesome word, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she did not avoid it and continued: "You are so capable that you can escort me from the capital to here. If you put this case on me, you can
How many lives will be saved?”
"We don't want to put this case on you. The yamen will treat you fairly. We just want to get some information from you. Miss Cao, I know that waiting for death is not a good thing, but people who are about to die can also speak kindly.
, I hope you can cooperate with us. We walked through the secret passage, which is very long. There may even be a second exit. The passage we took can lead to the outside of the city. Miss Cao, can you tell me when the secret passage was built that day?
?”
Fang Wu asked with a smile.
"Miss Cao, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I can try my best to help you."
Fang Wu saw Cao Yue'e closing her eyes and thought for a while.
But Cao Yue'e still didn't answer.
"Wang Zhoumu, was she like this before?" Fang Wu had no choice but to turn to Wang Qi and asked.
"Well, as you said, she always stays silent like this when she doesn't want to answer." Wang Qi was helpless.
Apart from saying some incredible things, Cao Yue'e refused to answer, which made it difficult for them to sit down.
Doctor Lu shook his head and said: "Several adults are asking first. I will go to the back office and give the prescriptions to the people." He stood up and went outside.
But before he took two steps, he touched Bai Xi and shook his head at Tan Sihan.
It turned out that at some point, Qin Sihan had fallen asleep sitting on the chair.
Bai Xi was busy talking to Tong Ruoqi and didn't really notice it for a while.
Bai Xi said a few words to everyone, stepped forward to pick him up, and strode out of the cell with Doctor Lu.
"Yu Er, do you know her?"
There was nothing they could do about Cao Yue'e for a while, so they had to ask Yu Er again...
