I was tricked by the black lotus [Transmigration Book]

"Although the iris is highly poisonous, if the dose is not large, it will not die immediately, but will suddenly attack when the spirit is aroused." Shen Qingshu pondered over this passage after he came out of the medical center.

That is to say, even if the defense was poisoned in advance, it could be delayed until Wen Xueer was by his side before showing symptoms of death.

It is better to know where he went that night first, Shen Qingshu's expression brightened.

However, when she managed to bribe the servants of the garrison mansion, she learned that the groom who was guarding the garrison fell into the water last night because of drunkenness and died.

died?How could it be such a coincidence?

This plot is a sideshow, and there is no correspondence in the original text. Shen Qingshu realized that even if he has all-hands and eyes, he can't dig out anything from the original text.

Um?Hands and eyes?Shen Qingshu suddenly remembered another plot in the original text.

There really is such a place in the capital.

Yunlai Casino.The front hall opened a casino, and the back hall was full of information trading businesses.As long as you have enough money, you can even find out whether there is a mole on the ear of the current saint, but very few people here know.

Unfortunately, Shen Qingshu had read the original text, so he knew one of them.

When Shen Qingshu entered Yunlai Casino, his brows were subconsciously frowned.

Miscellaneous, chaotic, noisy.

Since she didn't know who was in charge, she could only stand aside and observe two sets.Later, I didn't know why I was pushed to the gaming table, forcing myself to place a bet.

However, he actually won a few hands.

Suddenly, a buddy who just came out of the inner hall appeared in Yu Guangli, and Shen Qingshu collected the money, and quit the game with scolding.

"Is four taels of silver enough?" She answered according to the code in the original text.

The other party said calmly, "Seven taels is enough."

"But I only have five taels."

"Guests please."

Through the long corridor, Shen Qingshu was led to an elegant room, where exquisite carved sandalwood can be seen everywhere.

A man was idly teasing the bluebird in the cage with his back to her.

"Boss, someone is here."

The man turned around unhurriedly, wearing a mask.

Really cautious, Shen Qingshu sneered in his heart.

She remained calm, and slowly handed over the silver taels she just won to the clerk: "Is this enough for the whereabouts of the capital guards before the accident?"

The masked man laughed lowly: "You actually came to make a deal with me with the silver taels you won from me. Your calculations are very good."

Shen Qingshu's heart skipped a beat.Know all this?

She coughed: "I still have some banknotes, just give them all."

"No need, but it's just a track, what's it worth? Apart from being in the official residence on the day of the defense, I went to Zuixianju to have a drink."

Shen Qingshu's heart moved, he nodded slightly, turned around and left.

When her figure got farther and farther away from Yunlai Casino, the waiter who was silently observing came back: "Boss, let's go."

"Send someone to tell Prince Duan immediately."

The man frowned and said, "Since it's related to King Duan, why tell that woman?"

"She gave out the money, so don't say what to do," the man paused, "Besides, it's okay to let her know something. It's getting closer to the truth, but it will never touch the key step. This kind of torture is what makes Duan Wang even more angry." Satisfied."

"Second Miss Shen is here again, and this time she is also looking for Boss Yuan?" As soon as she entered the Zuixianju, a young servant who recognized her came up to her.

"Did the capital guard come here to drink last night?"

The boy was stunned for a moment: "Yes, he has been here."

"Who does he drink with?"

"I'm here to welcome guests, and the inner hall entertainers don't do my business, so I really don't know."

"I know." A gentle voice came from behind Shen Qingshu.

When she turned her head slowly, her eyes suddenly fixed: "Qin Luoluo."

"I happened to be in Zuixianju last night, and Shen Zi'an came to talk to me again and said something boring. I paid more attention later and found that he went to drink with the guards in the capital."

Shen Qingshu frowned lightly: "Only Shen Zi'an?"

"There is another official, but I don't know him either."

"There is a kind of poison that is colorless but slightly bitter. If you put it in the wine they drank last night, can you detect it?"

Qin Luoluo thought for a while: "If the dose is not too high, it is possible that you won't be able to detect it."

Shen Qingshu's face changed slightly: "Why did Shen Zi'an drink with the guards in the capital? Are they acquainted?"

"Who is Shen Zi'an familiar with? I'm afraid Second Miss Shen knows better than me. I only know that Shen Zi'an comes to Zuixianju frequently, and it's easy to strike up a conversation with anyone."

Shen Qingshu's thoughts gradually became confused, and he unknowingly walked back to Shen's residence.

When passing through the winding corridors of the courtyard, Shen Qingshu seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his gaze to the figure beside the rockery.

Shen Zi'an was actually fishing by the pond, but he immediately put it down after catching it, and continued fishing.

Shen Qingshu walked to his side: "You have nothing to do with your day-to-day life?"

"Sister, I haven't caused any trouble recently, and even my father doesn't scold me, so leave me alone."

Shen Qingshu kicked the stone under his feet, pretending to be calm and said: "Your friend is dead, and you don't have time to remember?"

"Which friend?"

"The capital guard, didn't you just drink with him last night?"

"If you are friends after drinking, then my good popularity will be all over the capital."

"For no reason, why are you with him?"

"I forgot to pack my wallet last night, so naturally I have to go drink."

After Shen Zi'an finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Sister, are you helping Wen Xue'er investigate?"

Shen Qingshu admitted straightforwardly: "Yes, I firmly believe that she was wronged."

"It stands to reason that if you are an official on guard, you must have made enemies with others. It's just that whoever made Wen Xueer unlucky and bumped into him belching, whether you believe it or not, she was wronged. She will be the dead ghost gone."

Shen Qingshu frowned slightly: "Shen Zi'an, didn't you still like him back then? Why don't you—"

"I've liked too many girls."

Shen Qingshu took a deep breath: "Who else drank with Guard last night?"

"His subordinates," Shen Zi'an thought for a while, "What do you suspect?"

Shen Qingshu looked into his eyes: "Someone poisoned him beforehand."

"The food and wine are for everyone to eat together. If the defense is poisoned, then I can't escape."

Shen Qingshu didn't give up: "Is there really no clue at all?"

"I found out that I was about to leave without a purse, but later I found out that the food and drink on the guard table had already been served, so I went up to it. I didn't find anything wrong."

Could it be that he was poisoned in the official residence?Suspicion arose in Shen Qingshu's heart.

"However," Shen Zi'an patted his head, "I remember that yesterday, when someone got drunk and made trouble, both the guard and I left our seats to watch the excitement."

Shen Qingshu's heart moved, yes, even if there is no way to directly poison the food and wine, but it is completely possible to tamper with the wine cup or tea bowl used by one person.

"Has the troublemaker been arrested by the government?"

"The party who caused the trouble is someone from Prince Duan's Mansion, who dares to arrest him? Why don't they leave after seeing it?"

All kinds of chaotic thoughts twisted into a clear line at this moment.

The sky was dim, and the light rain was lightly covering the space between the sky and the earth.When Shen Qingshu held an umbrella and walked up to Qinglu Temple, there were only a few pedestrians on the road, and the surroundings were completely silent.

The Buddha statue was so solemn that even her heart became heavy.

It wasn't until a pair of white-bottomed boots wrapped with gold thread appeared out of the corner of the eye that Shen Qingshu regained his solemn expression.

There was a half-smile on Duan Wang's face: "Shen Qingshu, haven't you always disliked me? Now you still invite me here to worship the Buddha. I really don't know what to say about you?"

"Won't King Duan feel guilty when he saw the Buddha statue?"

Duan Wang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you are more and more naive."

Shen Qingshu smiled slightly: "President Duan must have been tired all the way, I heard that there is a bamboo hall in the backyard, it must be elegant to drink tea and talk there."

Duan Wang sized her up with scrutiny, and finally said: "Okay."

The green tea leaves swirled and sank little by little under the froth, just like Duan Wang's state of mind at this time.As calm as he is, when he finds that Shen Qingshu has a weird smile on his lips, he will feel uneasy in his heart.

After Shen Qingshu finished making the tea, she slowly raised the teapot to let the clear liquid flow down. When the teacup was almost full, she stopped slowly, and then picked it up and handed it to Duan Wang.

Duan Wang kept her hand hanging in the air.

Shen Qingshu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You watched me cook the tea, so it wasn't poisoned."

After Wang Duan took it with a blank expression, he put down the teacup again.

"The teacups and teapots are all from the temple, and I have no chance to wipe the poison."

Duan Wang twitched his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled again: "You, you, you have made a big detour."

Shen Qingshu drank the tea in the cup, and then asked: "Is this iris really so magical? Can you calculate the time of poisoning in advance?"

"I also think this poison is really good."

Shen Qingshu's eyes showed fluctuations: "Prince Duan really doesn't shy away from me knowing the truth."

"So what if you know, you have no evidence, why can't you just watch Wen Xueer be sentenced?"

"Prince Duan, you kidnapped Wen Xue'er, it's only fair for me to take her back. Where did you get such a deep hatred and insist on putting her to death?"

"No, no, it's not about her, it's just that I'm more dissatisfied with you and Shen Qing. Since you two can't move, then it's okay to move Wen Xueer, an orphan. Not only is it easy to calculate, but you can use her to beat your Shen family. "

Shen Qingshu sneered: "Prince Duan is very calculating."

"How? Are you here to beg for mercy today?"

Shen Qingshu shook his head: "I dare to bother Prince Duan to come here in person, so I naturally have a bargaining chip in my hand."

"It's a pleasure talking to you, but I'm curious about what the bargaining chip is," Duan Wang said earnestly, "Let's talk."

Shen Qingshu slowly turned the teacup: "Prince Duan, have you had enough tea? Let's go to the Buddhist hall to talk."

Duan Wang's expression changed slightly.

The two were silent all the way, and when they returned to the Buddhist hall with their own thoughts, King Duan slipped the dagger in his sleeve to the palm of his hand without leaving a trace.

Caught off guard, Shen Qingshu stretched out his hand and pushed the small bronze statue on the offering table. After shaking a few times, it fell to the ground with a "bang".

Duan Wang looked at the bronze statue that fell to the ground, his face suddenly became ugly.

Shen Qingshu leaned over and picked up the bronze statue, saying: "What a crisp sound."

Shen Qingshu never thought before that the author's description of the villain in the first half of the book would now become her bargaining chip to threaten King Duan.

"Shen Qingshu, what exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Qingshu sneered: "I guess there is more than one hollow Buddha statue in this temple, right? Prince Duan casts copper coins privately and puts his hand into the temple. I also admire it."

Sudden anger flashed in Duan Wang's eyes.

Shen Qingshu's eyes were sharp, and he spotted the silver cooler in his hand in time: "Prince Duan, I left a book in my room, saying that I will invite King Duan to Qinglu Temple to meditate today, if I don't see you in the evening Go back and send someone over to pick you up."

King Duan took back the dagger without panic: "Shen Qingshu, I underestimated you."

"It makes me feel a little guilty to be looked up to by King Duan."

King Duan looked at the big Buddha in the middle: "Tell me your conditions."

"Hollow Buddha statues, one in my hand and one at home, although I know that the Buddha statues will be replaced with real ones as soon as I leave here today, but the two I have are enough for King Jin to investigate carefully," Shen Qing Shu said unhurriedly, "I know you won't stand up and plead guilty to the crime of instigating the poisoning, but I want your subordinate who poisoned himself to surrender to the government and replace Wen Xueer."

The hand behind Duan Wang's back suddenly had blue veins, as if he was trying to endure it, he said after a long time: "Okay."

"By the way, why did you pick the defense alone?"

"I've already lost momentum, so it doesn't matter if I step on it."

Shen Qingshu sighed: "I'll just wait here. As soon as I hear the news of surrendering, I'll ask someone to bring the bronze statue at home along with it."

King Duan just waved, and a man in black suddenly walked out from the curtain behind the Buddha statue.

Shen Qingshu took a deep breath.In fact, even if King Duan didn't take out the dagger just now, someone would kill him with a single blow in the dark.

Duan Wang whispered a few words to the man in black, and then the man in black quickly slipped out.

Duan Wang said quietly to Shen Qingshu: "I have to watch you."

The dusky twilight slowly fell in, slightly illuminating Wen Xueer who had been in the shadows all along.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of the lock being unlocked that she opened her eyelids heavily.

"Princess Zhao'an." Wen Xueer's eyes were full of surprise.

Princess Zhao'an leaned down and looked at her carefully: "After two days of confinement, although she is a bit haggard, she is still so beautiful."

Wen Xueer didn't understand what she meant, she shrank back slightly: "I'm afraid a place like an inner prison is not suitable for a princess to come."

"I don't want to come either," Princess Zhao'an said with a complicated expression, her gaze fell on the wine cup that had been placed by the gate since she came in, "but I think it is necessary to come and see you off in person."

Wen Xueer followed Zhaoan's gaze, and instantly understood what she meant, her voice trembling slightly: "Major, will I commit suicide?"

Princess Zhao'an's eyes were full of pity: "I'm sorry, Wen Xueer, no matter how much I like your beauty, I have to be ruthless now."

"Why is the Princess—"

"Do you know why General Shen was suddenly transferred from the capital? The adopted daughter of the Shen family killed the guards in the capital. Do you think the Holy Majesty will think of the Shen family? Tomorrow is the time to interrogate you. There are already many people who covet the status of the Shen family." Some people secretly prepared dirty water and poured it at any time, so this interrogation should not happen."

After being surprised for a moment, Wen Xueer calmed down: "If I commit suicide, others will say that I am afraid of crime, and I will be convicted of the crime."

"No—why did you get poisoned alcohol in prison? The people behind must have sneaked in to silence, so that the dirty water will be diverted away."

Wen Xueer's glazed eyes became clearer at this moment: "It seems that this is not bad."

Princess Zhao'an's expression was somewhat surprised: "No wonder Shen Qingshu likes you so much, I'm almost there now."

If Shen Qingshu knew...Wen Xueer's expression suddenly became sad.

I don't know if she thinks I'm cowardly.

Seeing her sudden change of expression, Princess Zhaoan asked, "Are you regretting it?"

"If you drink a glass of wine, you will die. The princess must give me some time to relax." Wen Xueer raised her eyes, "I have a question."

"I'm sorry if I don't answer you."

"Why do you want to help the Shen family?"

"Firstly, General Shen must not fall, and secondly, Shen Qingshu, that lunatic, may cause trouble to save you. I am too lazy to watch, so I can only arrange it in advance."

Wen Xueer's lips curved slightly: "The Princess likes Shen Qingshu very much?"

Princess Zhao'an did not hide it: "There are many beauties in the world, and I like all of them, but Shen Qingshu is one of them that I find particularly interesting."

The corner of Wen Xueer's mouth deepened: "She is...very special."

"Okay, Wen Xue'er, just bear with it for a while, and you will be free." Princess Zhao'an took the wine glass with her own hands.

Wen Xueer's heart was biting like an ant, her eyes darkened little by little, but she still slowly stretched out her hand to take the wine glass.

When the wine slid down her throat, she saw the corner of Zhao An's mouth smiling.

......

When the maid hurried up to Qinglu Temple, she was still holding a Buddha statue wrapped in cloth in her hand: "Second Miss! As you ordered, I was waiting in front of the official gate. I saw someone going to confess. I heard that even the evidence Also submit it together, and now Miss Wen can clear up her grievances."

A look of joy rose to the brows of Shen Qingshu: "When will you let me go?"

"Miss, if you go back at this time, you should be able to receive someone."

Shen Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief: "Give me the bronze statue, and you go back."

The maid blessed her body and walked down the steps happily.

When he heard footsteps behind him, Shen Qingshu turned his head vigilantly: "We all got what we wanted, and we're settled. Or do you want to continue fighting with me?"

"How do you know about the bronze statue?"

Shen Qingshu had a trick in mind, deliberately provoking his suspicion: "Unless you handle it completely by yourself, it will always be easy to leak."

"You'd better keep your mouth shut in the future."

The corner of Shen Qingshu's mouth twitched into a sneer: "Your Highness, please hold your hands high and let me wait for the little people."

Shen Qingshu was too lazy to continue entanglement with him, hurriedly got off Qinglu Temple, and walked towards the direction of the inner prison.
