Chapter 101: Each with Their Own Agenda
Everyone saw Yuan Jin like this and also had some sympathy for him, but they also felt that the doctor's ability was limited and he couldn't cure the patient. The patient's relatives wouldn't kill the doctor, would they?
After listening to Yuan Jin's words, Hua Lang fell silent for a long time. Just when everyone was getting impatient, Hua Lang suddenly spoke up and said: "Now that you have a motive to kill Ye Feng Luo, I hope you won't go too far away before this matter is investigated clearly."
Yuan Jin's expression remained desolate, he seemed indifferent to Hua Lang's words, but finally nodded slightly in agreement.
When leaving Yuan Jin's house and returning to the Medicine King's hut again, the body of Ye Feng had already been put into a coffin and covered again. At this time, the sky was late, the autumn wind blew in waves of coolness, and the western sunset illuminated the Medicine King's hut, making it even more beautiful than its original appearance like an immortal realm.
Murong Changqing had prepared several rooms for Hualang and his group to stay in, and later sent someone to prepare dinner.
While having dinner, everyone seemed to be in a good mood. However, Wen Meng couldn't bear the atmosphere anymore and looked at Hua Lang, asking: "Do you think Yuan Jin is the one who killed Yao Wang?"
This is exactly what everyone wants to ask.
Ke Hualang shook his head and said, "The clue is too little, it can't be confirmed yet. However, from Yuan Jin's words, we can tell that her mother didn't get any strange disease, but was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" The crowd was somewhat puzzled. If it was poisoning, why would Yuan Jin's mother and a beggar have the same poison?
He nodded: "That's right, it is indeed poisoning!"
Afterwards, Hualang refused to say anything else, and everyone had no choice but to eat their meals separately.
When night falls, many lanterns are lit near the Medicine King's hut. These lanterns are very beautiful and adorn this lovely night.
Hualang leaned on the bed and couldn't sleep. The things here were strange, making people wonder where to start for a while.
Closing his eyes, Hu Lang kept thinking about this case.
The murderer was able to poison the Medicine King, which shows that the murderer's poisoning skills are very high, or the murderer is familiar with the Medicine King, so that the Medicine King has no guard against the murderer. People who have these conditions in the entire Medicine King's hut are only Mu Rong Chang Qing and Xi Men Long.
The two of them also had motives for murder, such as both wanting to obtain Ye Fengluo's "Hundred Herb Scripture".
They were just two of Medicine King's apprentices, and their abilities Medicine King should be very clear about. If it was them who poisoned him, how could Medicine King not have noticed?
If it wasn't the two of them who poisoned, then the person who poisoned must be someone outside the Medicine King's hut. But how did this outsider get in, and how did they avoid being seen by everyone, and how did they manage to poison Ye Feng?
A person who can poison a medicine king, how poisonous will his poison be?
The flower gentleman who couldn't figure it out gradually became annoyed, he got up and walked to the window, looking at the dreamy moonlight outside, his heart was finally relieved, but just as the flower gentleman was about to turn back to bed, he suddenly saw a human shadow flash by, and looking in the direction of the shadow, it should be Mu Rong Chang Qing's room.
The young man quietly left the room, taking advantage of the moonlight to make his way to Murong Changqing's room. The figure in front moved quickly, and after arriving at Murong Changqing's room, he lightly knocked a few times before the door creaked open. He looked around cautiously, and upon finding no one, slipped inside.
Tonight, the moonlight is good, so after that person entered Murong Changqing's room, he didn't light a lamp. The flower gentleman quietly came to the window and looked inside, only to see Murong Changqing's stout body sitting on the bed, looking at the person facing him and asking: "You finally agreed to come!"
The young master couldn't see the man's face, but somehow felt that his back figure was very familiar. At this time, the man smiled faintly: "Invited by Master, how dare I not come? Only, I don't know what Master wants me to do?"
After hearing this sentence, Hua Lang suddenly woke up and realized that the person was Xi Men Long. But why did Murong Changqing and Xi Men Long meet so late at night?
Just as Hua Lang was puzzled and couldn't understand, Murong Changqing smiled coldly: "Younger brother, Master's 'Baicao Jing' should be on you, right?"
Ximen Long let out a hearty laugh and said, "Big Brother Master says this is framing me, the first person to discover Master's corpse was you. Now that we haven't found the 'Hundred Herb Classic', the most likely person to have taken Master's 'Hundred Herb Classic' should be you?"
Murong Changqing's face twitched slightly, and in the dim light of night, it looked a bit terrifying. But in an instant, Murong Changqing smiled and said: "Little Shidi, am I that kind of person? When I found Master's body, I was stunned. Where did I have time to look for the 'Bai Cao Jing'? After settling Master's body, we both went to find it together, but neither of us found it. However, I remember that at the time, I searched the library, and you searched Master's room. You really didn't find it?"
Ximen Dragon sneered: "Big Brother, you're willing to let me search Master's room, probably because after discovering Master's death, you've already searched the room yourself. Since you've already searched and found nothing, what makes you suspect that I have the 'Hundred Herb Classic'? Now, I'm starting to suspect you!"
Murong Changqing's round face had a few drops of sweat, and Hualang watched from outside the window with a true gaze. His heart was filled with contempt for these two people. He hadn't expected that after their master was poisoned to death, the first thing these two brothers thought of wasn't finding the murderer, but rather finding their master's "Baicao Jing".
If things were really like that, then the two of them could also be the murderers, because only by killing Ye Fengluo would they have a chance to get the "Baicao Jing".
So who has "Mu Wangzi's Treatise on the Hundred Herbs" now?
Murong Changqing was the first to discover the body. He is most likely to have searched Ye Feng's room first, if he found it, why did he see Ximen Long tonight?
Was he acting, just to make Simen Long doubt that he had already obtained the "Hundred Grass Scripture"?
At this time, Murong Changqing stood up from the bed and looked at Ximen Longdao: "Little Shidi, if you really got the 'Baicao Jing', please take it out. It's not a martial arts secret book after all. Why don't we study it together to improve our medical skills and benefit the people?"
Ximen Long didn't show any weakness, and coldly said: "Big brother, I really haven't obtained the 'Hundred Herb Classic', how can I take it out? On the other hand, if you have obtained it, why don't you take it out for us to study together? Could it be that big brother not only wants to learn the medical skills from it, but also the records of poisonous medicines inside?"
