The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 177: Poisoned Wine Case (1)

After the last batch of liquor came out of the cellar, Jian Yue stopped brewing because she had no more raw materials.

The official road is now muddy and slippery, and sorghum cannot be transported in for a while.

On this day, a group of people came to Shilixiang Winery to buy wine. They spoke in Beijing dialect, like merchants from Shangjing. They each bought a pot of wine, and before leaving Shilixiang Winery, they couldn't wait to drink it.

Suddenly, one of them spit out a mouthful of black blood with a "puff", and fell to the ground with a loud cry: "Poisonous!" The others vomited blood and fell to the ground one after another like a chain reaction.

People passing by were terrified when they saw this scene, and the brave ones shouted to call the police.

Yuan Si, who was in charge of selling loose liquor, was also frightened and hurriedly called Amber to inform Doctor Mao.

Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe came out soon.

Yun Zhonghe asked Fan Da to bring people to guard in front of the shop to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to poison the shop.

Jian Yue was busy at the farm. After receiving the news from the secret guard, she hurried back. Then, she was ambushed again on the way.

These ambushing people seemed to want to stop her from returning to the city. Not only were they numerous, but they were also very powerful.

Jian Yue threw a few poison bombs, knocking out five or six of them, and the others quickly dispersed.

Jian Yue and Fu Yun shot with bows and arrows. Both of them had drugs on their arrows, so no matter where they hit, the person would faint.

Fu Wu and Fu Liu stood behind the two men to prevent the killer from attacking them.

The enemy originally had ten archers, but four of them were knocked unconscious by the poisoned bullets, leaving six. They first shot the horses and threw a few poisoned bullets, forcing Jian Yue and the other three to hide in the woods beside the road.

Jian Yue took out four detoxification pills and asked each student to take one.

There must be an ambush in the woods. So the four of them did not go deep into the woods. Jian Yue and Fu Yun hid behind a tree and shot the assassins on the road. Fu Wu and Fu Liu were alert to the attacks from deep in the woods.

Six archers fired arrows at the same time, forcing Jian Yue and Fu Yun to unable to raise their heads. The tree where they were hiding was full of arrows.

While the opponent was drawing his arrow, Jian Yue and Fu Yun each shot an arrow.

Jian Yue had good eyesight and good accuracy, and almost never missed a shot. Two arrows were shot out, and two archers fell down. The remaining four quickly found cover to hide.

A dozen assassins tried to approach, but Jian Yue and Fu Yun fired a barrage of arrows, hitting seven or eight of them. The rest didn't dare to rush over here.

Jian Yue suddenly turned her head, and the arrow shot out with the movement of turning her head, hitting a killer hiding in the tree.

Fu Yun put the bow and arrow on his back, drew out his sword, nodded to Jian Yue, and suddenly rushed out to kill the killer's hiding place.

The invisible killer just dodged when a whistling arrow hit him.

Fu Yun used the same trick again, forcing the killer out, and helped Jian Yue shoot five of them. She approached the archers with the body of a killer. The archers shot at her, and all of them hit the body. As soon as the archers showed their bodies, they would be shot by Jian Yue.

The four archers were quickly cleared out.

Now there are only four or five killers left. These people dare not approach and hide behind the trees, not daring to show their heads.

Seeing that the four refused to come in, the assassins hiding in the woods jumped out and pretended to ambush them. But just as they appeared, before Ambush Five and Ambush Six could make a move, Jian Yue suddenly turned around and shot one of them dead with a "whoosh". Then, Fu Yun's arrow arrived and shot another one dead.

The killer who just appeared:...

Run away quickly!

Jian Yue shot and killed another one immediately afterwards, and let the remaining two run away without any intention of chasing them.

"Take the two people away!" Jian Yue shouted. Fu Wu and Fu Liu bent down and grabbed the two people who were stunned. The four of them used Qinggong to quickly pass by.

Those hiding in the woods came out to give chase.

Jian Yue spent the entire winter practicing lightness skills and floating on the snow, and she took medicinal baths to improve her muscles and bones. Now, her lightness skills have surpassed Fu Yun, Fu Wu and Fu Liu.

She is very talented in Qinggong, and her water floating technique is a top-level technique. Given time, her Qinggong will be unmatched.

The killers did not have complete information. They did not know that Jian Yue was not only good at Qinggong, but also good at archery. Half of the people were killed and they had to watch her run away.

The ambush failed.

After entering the city, Jian Yue asked Fu Wu and Fu Liu to find a place to hide the two people they had captured. She and Fu Yun went straight to Yue's house.

At the gate of Yue's house, the government officials had already arrived. Even Yan Xiuyuan came in person.

In a flash, more than a dozen people died. These people were all merchants from Shangjing, and they had inextricable ties with some officials and big families in Shangjing. If they were not handled properly, they would not only lose their jobs, but also their heads.

Meng Tongzhi, Wang Tongpan, and Shen Canjiang were all present. They were said to be drinking in a nearby restaurant, and when they heard that someone had died in the restaurant, they came over immediately.

Yan Xiuyuan didn't believe in such a coincidence. But at the moment, he was too overwhelmed to think about anything else because the inspector who came to the capital happened to be there.

The Lord of Yanling Prefecture has made outstanding achievements in dealing with the snow disaster. The current emperor is very satisfied and has sent an inspector to conduct an inspection. Once the report is verified, Yan Xiuyuan will be rewarded and promoted.

No one would have thought it would be such a coincidence that the day after the Inspector General arrived, he was visiting the streets and encountered such a heinous case of murder by poisoning.

As a relative, Yan Xiuyuan had to recuse himself, so he had no say in this case.

Doctor Mao wanted to examine the dead, but was rejected by the inspector. As a suspect, he was not qualified to get close to the dead. Then, he, Yun Zhonghe, and everyone in Yue's house were controlled by the officials brought by the inspector.

"Miss, the man in indigo plain clothes is the Inspector General Xue Guangen. He is the Second Prince's man."

Jian Yue's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

The man who bought the wine drank Yanlingchun and died at the door of the shop. He happened to be seen by the inspector and other officials. This coincidence was too much of a coincidence.

Jian Yue thought about it quickly in her mind.

More than a dozen people died at once. If someone had planned this, the case would soon be reported to Shangjing. The Yanlingchun that was previously transported to Shangjing would also be questioned and its reputation would plummet.

Jian Yue heard from Ji Yunzhong that Yanlingchun, which was shipped to Shangjing, was in great demand and its reputation far surpassed that of Wen's tribute wine, which was already ranked second.

"Master Fuyun, don't show up. Find a way to inform the Fifth Prince and ask him to give me a chance to prove myself. Also, ask the secret guards in the mansion to protect everything in the yard." After saying that, Jian Yue picked out the pills in the backpack and hid them on her body. She handed the bow and backpack to Fuyun and strode to the door of Yue's mansion.

Fu Yun hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran towards the iron shop owned by the department owner.

"She is Jian Yue, the disciple of the genius doctor. She is also the murderer." Someone shouted...
