He frowned, turned around and walked quickly into the Luo family mansion.
When he saw Luo Feng, he was sitting in a chair with a panicked look on his face and dull eyes. How could he look like Young Master Yulan at all?
Zhan Yan called out to him, "Luo Feng!"
Luo Feng suddenly shuddered all over. He looked at Zhan Yan cautiously: "Zhan Yihou, are you here to arrest me too?"
Zhan Yan softened his tone and asked, "Did you do it? Did you see the charcoal delivery girl when she came to your house?"
Luo Feng burst into tears first, then shook his head vigorously: "I don't remember, I can't remember anything. When I regained consciousness, I saw blood all over my body. I was very scared and didn't know why this happened. I quickly changed my bloody clothes and threw them under the bed!"
Seeing his mental breakdown, Zhan Yan knew that if he continued asking, he would go crazy.
Just as he was hesitating, Lin Ran walked in from outside with a grim expression. He whispered, "Zhan Yan, the emperor has issued an imperial decree, ordering me to find the real culprit as soon as possible and calm the public anger!"
Zhan Yan nodded: "He can't remember what happened at dusk at all. I have to ask Wanwan if there is any good way to help him recover his memory!"
Lin Ran's eyes lit up: "Yes, how could I forget Wanwan? Go and ask her to come and see Luo Feng!"
Before Zhan Yan walked out of the yard, he saw Zi'er coming to protect Lin Yiwan.
He asked in surprise: "Have you heard about Luo Feng?"
Lin Yiwan said with a complicated expression, "Well, the servants and maids in the mansion are all talking about it. It's hard not to hear about it. I didn't expect that I couldn't prevent it after all. The person behind the scenes took action so quickly!"
Zhan Yan replaced Zi'er and supported her, reminding her in a serious tone, "This matter is very strange. Luo Feng has lost his memory of what happened at dusk yesterday. He has no way of proving his innocence!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and walked quickly into the house.
She took Luo Feng's pulse and found that his pulse was very chaotic.
She asked gently, "Luo Feng, tell me, after you came out of the mansion, are you feeling better?"
He nodded subconsciously: "Yes, I came to the study to review my homework, and asked A Lai to pour me some tea to refresh me!"
Lin Yiwan turned around and saw a bowl of tea on the desk, and immediately went forward to check it out.
Lin Ran lowered his voice and said, "Wanwan, I've already had the tea tested, and there's nothing wrong with it!"
Lin Yiwan didn't say anything and continued to pour the tea leaves into the clean porcelain bowl.
She looked carefully and found nothing wrong.
It's just ordinary jasmine tea!
If I have to say what’s special about it, it’s that it contains cassia seeds which can clear the mind and brighten the eyes.
She poured the cassia seeds into the palm of her hand and twisted it back and forth slowly.
Lin Ran asked in surprise, "Wanwan, you don't doubt this Cassia seed, do you?"
Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at him: "Uncle, if he is not unconscious due to the drugs, do you think there are any other methods?"
Lin Ran was stunned by the question. Yes, what else could it be besides medicine?
He turned his head and looked around the desk, and saw that Luo Feng had half copied an article on it.
The ink had dried, and the air was filled with the pleasant smell of high-quality rosin ink.
He imagined Luo Feng bending over his desk and copying, and he immediately urged, "Wanwan, check the ink strip first!"
Lin Yiwan took the ink stick and gently rubbed it in the inkstone.
Not long after, a strange smell suddenly drifted into her nose.
Her brows furrowed suddenly, and she immediately picked up the freshly ground ink and carefully examined it.
After a moment, she said firmly, "Someone has used Datura powder on Mo Tiao. This substance will stimulate his consciousness and make him fall into hallucinations!"
Just one sentence shocked Lin Ran. He said anxiously, "In other words, Luo Feng was insane and went to the woodshed to rape and kill the charcoal delivery girl?"
Lin Yiwan shook her head. "It's definitely not him. He was hit by a powerful poison when he was in the Princess's Mansion. I gave him the antidote. It's extremely strong and will cause some damage to his body. He won't be able to have sex for over a month!"
Lin Ran was stunned at first, then he said anxiously: "Then we can tell the charcoal seller that Luo Feng is not the murderer at all, so he doesn't have to bother with us anymore!"
Seeing him walk out, Lin Yiwan immediately stopped him: "Uncle, don't be impatient. We must find the real murderer eventually. Otherwise, if the charcoal delivery girl dies in Luo Mansion, Luo Feng's reputation will be damaged, and the charcoal seller will never let it go!"
Lin Ran also calmed down immediately. He was indeed a little impatient.
He quickly walked up to Luo Feng and asked, "Who buys the ink sticks in your house?"
Luo Feng replied: "It's Alai. All the purchases for the mansion are handed over to Alai. I only trust him!"
Lin Ran quickly ordered someone to invite Alai. He knelt on the ground trembling with fear on his face.
Lin Ran asked in a deep voice, "Alai, you bought all the ink sticks your young master uses, right?"
A Lai nodded heavily. "Yes, it was I who did. I have been buying supplies for you at Shuangxi Academy, and all I have chosen are top-quality rosin ink!"
Lin Yiwan had heard of Shuangxi Academy. Many students in Beijing bought their books there. In addition to the good quality, they also wanted to have a good luck of double happiness, which meant the joy of being admitted to the imperial examination and the happiness of having a wedding night.
She frowned slightly and looked at A Lai: "When was the last time you bought an ink stick?"
Alai replied, "It was the day before yesterday. Because I had to accompany the young master to a banquet at the *** Mansion yesterday, I bought the examination supplies a day in advance!"
Lin Yiwan looked at Lin Ran and said, "Uncle, have someone call the owner of Shuangxi Academy and make sure he brings the account book!"
Soon, Manager Sun of Shuangxi Academy was brought in.
Perhaps he came in a hurry, as beads of sweat were hanging on his forehead.
He asked with concern, "Madam Hou, what do you want to ask me?"
Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "When did Alai from the Luo Mansion go to the academy to buy rosin ink?"
Shopkeeper Sun flipped through the account book and checked before answering, "It was the afternoon before yesterday. I bought eight boxes in total, spending fifty taels of silver!"
Lin Yiwan asked calmly, "Then who went to your Shuangxi Academy to buy rosin ink yesterday evening? Tell us everything!"
Shopkeeper Sun asked doubtfully, "Aren't you asking about what happened the day before yesterday?"
Lin Ran interrupted impatiently: "When Madam Hou asked you about the date, you should answer that date. Why waste your words? Are you trying to cover up for someone else?"
Shopkeeper Sun was startled and immediately shook his head: "No, I wouldn't dare!"
He didn't dare to delay and immediately opened the account book he had purchased yesterday and answered immediately: "There were only two people who bought the account book at dusk yesterday. One was from the main house of the Gu Mansion, and the other was the daughter of the Pan family!"
When talking about the girl from the Pan family, Shopkeeper Sun's face suddenly turned pale and ugly.
