Chapter 106 Gu family is involved

"Yuan Ru sent Doctor Ye back to the guest room, and Yuan Yi sent Fu Lu back to the room to have a good rest." Mu Shiyu sent them away directly.

Ye Zong glanced at Fu Long unwillingly, and when he saw her pale face, he could only go back to the guest room angrily. He couldn't keep pestering the girl when she was already so weak.

Everyone left, and only Mu Shiyu was left in the room.

Mu Shiyu took a look at the jade pendant. The jade was warm and warm to the touch. It was a rare and good jade. Moreover, what was engraved on it was the national animal of Fengchen Kingdom.

The national beast can be used by no one but the royal family. Therefore, the person who poisoned the poison must be a member of the royal family and has a high position, so he can use the national beast.

Mu Shiyu opened the envelopes again. Some of them were from more than ten years ago, the time when Lin Junrong was first poisoned.

The letter explained the purpose of buying the magic spot poison, but the other party sold the medicine without any concern even though he knew it would poison the prince.

The price of the medicine is very expensive, with a monthly dosage of 10,000 taels of gold. This amount is not something that ordinary people can afford. Moreover, it can be used for so many years.

Mu Shiyu couldn't even come up with such a huge amount. Apart from the Gu family, she was afraid that the only ones she could think of were the Emperor and Ji Lefang.

The Gu family is my maternal grandfather's family. I had no relationship with Lin Junrong back then, but I still wanted to confirm it.

At the very beginning, Bai Chi asked Ye Zong to go to the Hou Mansion and took out the magic spot poison medicine. He should know some inside information, but he didn't say it clearly. He could only say that the person behind the scenes made him a little afraid. And, it made him afraid.

There are only a handful of people.

The last one is the current emperor, Lin Junrong's father. Tiger poison does not eat its children, so Mu Shiyu cannot believe that it was the emperor who did it, but the jade pendant clearly told her that it was done by someone from the royal family.

Mu Shiyu also opened the remaining letters, but the handwriting had changed.

It describes different methods of poisoning. The most common one is to feed food with poisonous water, which unknowingly enters Lin Junrong's diet. There are also methods of soaking tea sets, bowls and chopsticks in poisonous water.

In short, there has never been a direct poisoning. It seems that this is a poison seller, teaching the people behind the scenes how to poison.

In addition, there is also a trading place - a prostitution yard in the east of the city called Lanyuan.

That's right, that kind of place is so chaotic that it's easy to do whatever you do without being discovered.

Finally, Mu Shiyu opened Fu Lu's hairpin, and inside was a note. The note said that on the fifteenth day of every month, see you in Lanyuan.

There is nothing special about this. What is special is that the paper can be seen to have been soaked in water. However, the handwriting is not blurred. It should have been soaked in water first and then written on.

Mu Shiyu put it under her nose and smelled it. Sure enough, the water in which the paper was soaked was poisonous water mixed with magic spot poison.

This should be Fu Qing, who soaked the paper with poisonous water in order to prove himself.

Fu Lu was injured, and he didn't know how Fu Qing was doing.

They meet to trade on the fifteenth day of every month. Since my martial arts skills are not good, I should wait until Lin Junrong comes back to make arrangements.

What he has to do now is to find out whether the Gu family is involved and what role Jilefang plays in this.

"Yuan Yi." Mu Shiyu called out.

"Miss, what are your orders?" Yuan Yi walked in from outside the house.

"Go to the guest room and tell Doctor Ye that he still has a medicine to give me, and he will ask you to bring it back." Mu Shiyu said calmly.

After Yuanyi got the medicine back, Mu Shiyu took the jade pendant and the bottle of medicine and went out. The destination was the Gu family.

"Shi Yu wishes my grandfather a happy new year." Mu Shi Yu saluted.

"Quick, quick, get up quickly, it's cold and the ground is cold." Gu Wencheng said with a smile.

"Grandpa, how are you these days?" Mu Shiyu habitually sat next to him.

"Okay, very good." Gu Wencheng said with a smile.

Mu Shiyu waved her hand and asked Yuan Yi to order someone to bring the gifts in, "Grandpa, these are the New Year gifts that Jun Rong asked me to bring to you, your uncles, aunts, and all your brothers and sisters."

"Hahaha, good! Good! Good!" Gu Wencheng blurted out three good words, which was enough to show that he was very satisfied with his grandson-in-law.

Mu Shiyu continued to be with him for a long time, and finally he was a little tired, so he went back to the house to rest.

This is when Mu Shiyu came to Gu Mingxuan and said, "Well, uncle."

"Shi Yu, father has gone to rest?" Gu Mingxuan said with a smile.

"Hmm, yes." Mu Shiyu said leisurely, with a warm smile on his face, "Uncle, Shiyu would like to ask a few questions. I wonder if you have time to answer my questions?"

"Since Shi Yu wants to learn, my uncle will definitely give him all his money to teach her." Gu Mingxuan readily agreed.

Mu Shiyu took out the jade pendant and the bottle of medicine from her sleeve, "Uncle, do these two things look familiar to you?"

Gu Mingxuan's expression changed slightly, he stood up and closed the study door.

"Shi Yu, where did you get this? Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"Uncle, is this really related to the Gu family?" Mu Shiyu frowned and asked.

"Shi Yu, you..." Gu Mingxuan's hesitant look showed that the truth was very complicated.

"Uncle, I want to hear the truth. This is related to Jun Rong. I can't ignore it!"

For the Gu family, Mu Shiyu can be completely trusted, so she can speak frankly.

"Shi Yu, you haven't encountered this poison before, have you?" Gu Mingxuan's first reaction was Mu Shi Yu's safety, fearing that something might happen to her.

"Never touched it." Mu Shiyu shook her head.

"That's good." Gu Mingxuan felt relieved after knowing that Mu Shiyu was safe.

This matter starts from thirteen years ago.

At that time, Mrs. Gu had just become pregnant with Mu Shiyu, and a man came to Gu Wencheng with this jade pendant. The man did not ask for anything. He just asked them to give out 10,000 taels of gold every month and send it to Fulong.

Bank.

It's puzzling how the Gu family could agree to give out ten thousand taels of gold every month.

However, the man asked them to check on Mrs. Gu, who was poisoned by magic spot poison, but she didn't know it.

The man put forward a condition that the Gu family could be responsible for the official salt, the profits of the official salt, and the poison on Gu's body, so the Gu family had to compromise.

However, the Gu family really doesn't know the specific purpose of this poison.

"Uncle, do the Gu family still send gold to Fulong Bank every month?" Mu Shiyu asked.

"Yes." Gu Mingxuan did not deny it, but he heard another news, "Shi Yu, you just said that this poison is related to His Highness Prince Li?"

"Yes." Mu Shiyu nodded feebly, with distress in her eyes, "Jun Rong wears a mask because he was poisoned and his appearance was completely ruined."

When Gu Mingxuan heard this, he was still standing upright, but now he fell heavily on the chair, "Shi Yu, it's my uncle who is useless and failed to protect your mother. Now..."

Seeing the regret and guilt in Gu Mingxuan's eyes, Mu Shiyu quickly comforted him, "Uncle, now that I've found this place, as long as I find out the real culprit behind the scenes, everything will get better."

"Now, what we have to do is to wait and see what happens, and remember not to alert the enemy." Mu Shiyu solemnly explained.

"Don't worry, uncle knows how to do this." Gu Mingxuan nodded heavily.
