But the woman didn't dare to go. What she hated most was climbing mountains, so she always waited until the old man was in the shop before going to sell embroidery.

After getting the clue, the bailiff went to Jinming Mountain and brought a lot of people with him. They searched around Jinming Mountain for an afternoon and finally found the wooden house halfway up the mountain.

There was a strong smell of medicinal herbs and blood in the wooden house, and there was a pile of medicinal residue. A doctor was asked to identify it. The residue was found to be some precious medicinal herbs, but it was mixed with human blood, which meant it was a medicine made from human blood.

The Qian family on Jinming Mountain were also questioned, but none of them knew the old Taoist who claimed to be an immortal.

The clue ends here again.

The yamen runners were not fools. Since they couldn't find someone to make the medicine, they decided to find someone to take it.

If we look at it from a different perspective, we'll find some strange things happening in Su County...

Because these two deaths caused panic among the people of Su County, the county government increased the number of personnel patrolling various districts every day.

That day, Li Mofu waited for Lu Mingyun to come back with great difficulty. After he had his meal, he kept asking him about the latest news.

Lu Mingyun returned to his study with a heavy heart, and Li Mofu followed him. After the door was closed, Lu Mingyun closed the window again.

"Have you found out who used the medicine?" Li Mofu asked.

Lu Mingyun frowned, feeling exhausted. He had been dealing with these businessmen every day these days, and it was very annoying. "There are quite a few people who are suspicious."

"After Huang Liyao's death, the old man of the Chen family, who was confined to bed, was able to walk; the young grandson of the Meng family, who was ill every three days and seriously ill every five days, became lively and cheerful; and the third son of the Lin family, who was frail and sickly, became normal again."

"After Duran's death, patients from the Xu, Li, and Huang families all recovered."

"These families are all merchants in Su County, and some of them are wealthy businessmen. Every one of them keeps their mouths shut, especially the servants."

Following Lu Mingyun's words, Li Mofu thought of Master Lin San. At that time, he was puzzled about Lin San's recovery. He didn't expect that his recovery was due to the use of such a magical medicine.

However, it is hard to imagine that Mr. Lin San is such a person who takes human life lightly.

Because Master Lin San often came to the restaurant to eat since he recovered from his illness, in Li Mofu's impression, Lin San's eyes were very bright and he was very gentle to others. He would always give tips to the waiters and the kitchen staff, and if there were beggars outside the door, he would give them a lot.

I heard that he even built a school in a village without charging a penny.

"When we asked Lin San, he didn't say anything?" Li Mofu asked.

Lu Mingyun thought for a moment and said, "I went with the yamen runners to visit those wealthy merchants. I went to the Lin family twice, and each time they said that the Third Young Master Lin was not there."

Li Mofu frowned, "Have you asked him privately? I don't think he's a bad person."

Although there are many plots in movies and TV shows where the good guys are actually the bad guys, some things still need to be confirmed.

"I'm sure that Young Master Lin San hasn't left the house since Duran's death," said Lu Mingyun.

"Sneak in?" Li Mofu suggested.

"I sneaked into these people's yards, but the old man didn't hide there." Lu Mingyun said.

Li Mofu paused, "I mean, sneak in and question those patients."

"No need. Except for those who are too old to speak clearly, I have asked all the other recovered people. Either they said they didn't know or they kept silent. However, I have never asked Mr. Lin San." Lu Mingyun said, touching his chin.

Li Mofu pursed his lips and patted Lu Mingyun's shoulder vigorously. "It's time for you to show your authority. Don't worry about anything else at this time. You are the most important official here. If you insist on going in to find Lin San, no one will dare to stop you."

The story of the human blood medicine involved various aspects of sorcery and deception, and if it were to be exploited, Lu Mingyun would undoubtedly be among the unlucky ones. So, ever since the second death and the discovery of the human blood medicine residue by the yamen runners, Lu Mingyun had been anxious. So, the day after Li Mofu's warning, he led the county yamen officers to surround the Lin family.
