Chapter 1567: Cause and Effect
At the entrance of a very ordinary and old house in Chang'an City, Li Changze stood here and looked at it for a while, feeling moved.
This yard is not broken, but it is indeed very old. The people living in this yard once had a moment of influx, but it was just a chess piece that was used.
If the Yang family hadn't thought this person was useful, so they secretly protected him, and this person would have long since become a dry bone under the loess.
There were some weeds growing on the yard wall and no one cleaned them up. Li Changze calculated that the man should be in his seventies. If his life was not good, his health should be very poor. How could he clean the weeds on the wall by himself?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Changze couldn't help but sigh a little.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door. No one responded. He tried to push it, but the door was not inserted and opened as soon as it was pushed.
Li Changze stepped into the yard and saw a white-haired old man sitting under an old tree in a daze, his eyes dull like a dead person, who had just crawled out of the ground not long after.
Even if he didn't walk in front of the old man, a decadent smell came into Li Changze's nose, which should be more precisely rotten.
Li Changze turned around and asked the little girl named Yan'er to close the courtyard gate. He walked to the old man and leaned over and fisted, saying, "Old man, is it Song Changming?"
The old man raised his head suddenly, and his lifeless eyes flashed a few times. He raised his hand and pointed it at Li Changze, and asked in a trembling voice: "But come to kill me?"
Li Changze was stunned: "The first time I saw you, why did you kill you?"
The old man said: "If it weren't for the person who came to kill me, why did he come to me? Why could he call out my name back then?"
Li Changze smiled and said, "I can teach you the name because my family is your savior."
"Yang family!"
Song Changming stood up with a cane, his eyes full of hatred.
"Why did your Yang family save me back then? Why?! Wouldn't it be good to let me die? I am a damn person, I am a sinner for the ages!"
He seemed to want to reach out and grab Li Changze's clothes, but Li Changze took a step back to avoid it, looking at Song Changming with contempt and said, "At that time, you took a large sum of money, bought a real estate in your hometown, and took two concubines. When you enjoy it, you didn't look like this now. Why do you regret it now?"
Song Changming opened his mouth, his shoulders trembled with excitement, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Li Changze snorted and said contemptuously: "When Empress Su found you and asked you to prepare a colorless and odorless poison to poison the late emperor, you should not be like this."
"You... don't say it!"
Song Changming took a few steps back, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
"Why are you looking for me again?"
He tripped when he stepped back. If it weren't for the chair behind him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Li Changze squatted down and looked at Song Changming's eyes and said word by word: "When Empress Su wanted to poison the late emperor, the only person who could make colorless and tasteless poison was you. After the late emperor passed away, you were investigated by the Tingwei Mansion. Those Tingwei who were still loyal to the late emperor wanted to execute you Lingchi. In the end, the one who found you first was from my Yang family. He tried his best to make evidence of fake death for you. Only then can you live for so many more years. Are you not grateful at all now?"
Song Changming said: "You kill me, I've had enough."
“It’s not time for you to have enough.”
Li Changze said with a smile: "You are the only one in this world who can make that kind of poison. Before you and after you, there may not be anyone else who can do it."
"I can't do it!"
Song Changming said: "No one in this world can make a truly colorless and odorless poison. It is something that does not exist. I can't, no one can, unless in the future, someone can remove the smell of poison, or not take gambling from poison..."
"Then how did you do it."
Li Changze grabbed Song Changming's neck and said, "Don't think I can't deal with you now. Many years have passed, but if the people from Tingwei Mansion know that you are still alive, they must be very interested."
Song Changming laughed and said, "I have been a human being or a ghost for so many years. Am I still afraid of death?"
"You are definitely not afraid of death."
Li Changze sneered: "But I thought you were dead at the beginning, and I didn't dare to let the people know that there was another reason for the death of the late emperor, so I didn't hold your family accountable. But once I handed you over to the Tingwei Mansion, do you think the matter would be pursued at all?"
"besides......"
Li Changze said: "One of your concubines gave birth to a son for you back then, but now this person is in my hands. You are not afraid of death, are you afraid of having no children or grandchildren?"
Song Changming's eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he was looking at the devil and looked at Li Changze at one glance.
"What do you want to do? So many years have passed, why are you still holding on? I've already done this, why do you want to torture me again!"
He looked at Li Changze crying, his eyes turning blood-red.
"It's very simple, even simpler than what you did last time."
Li Changze said: "I only need you to help me do two things. It's definitely not to poison anyone, don't worry."
After hearing what he said, Song Changming's expression eased a little, and he asked, "What the hell is it?"
"First."
Li Changze took out a jade bottle from his arms: "There is a medicine here. Please help me see what the medicine is used for and what consequences will be if the person takes it."
Song Changming breathed a sigh of relief again, but he was not resistant to the medicine.
He took the jade bottle, opened it and smelled it, and then his eyes lit up slightly: "It's like poison."
Li Changze nodded: "It's indeed a poison. Someone told me that after taking this poison, people will feel like they are seriously ill, and will vomit and diarrhea, but after a while of cultivation, it will be fine."
Song Changming poured out the pill from the jade bottle, placed it in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and then asked, "Can you break it open and take a look?"
"Can."
Li Changze said: "I just want to know what this medicine is."
Song Changming opened the pill and sniffed it again, his brows getting tighter and tighter. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he asked Li Changze: "Who gave you this medicine? Are you going to take it?"
Li Changze said: "You don't have to ask so much, just tell me how effective this medicine is?"
"This is a poison. Poison is a poison. It will not be good for a while, but the medicinal properties seem to be very cleverly controlled. People who take this poison will not die immediately. As you said, they will vomit and diarrhea, and their bodies will be weak, but they will never be good for a while." "This medicine can damage the internal organs, especially the stomach and liver. After taking it, the damage will be permanent. If it is dragged for a while, the medicine will be left untreated. Although it will not die immediately, if the five internal organs are damaged, people will die at most for a few years."
Li Changze's face changed when he heard these words, and he snorted: "It's true."
He asked, "Is there an antidote for this medicine?"
"I can only distinguish a few of the herbs from this smell, but not all of them, so there is no way to prepare the antidote for targeting. This young master, you need to remember one thing. It is not unreasonable for old friends to say that medicine is three parts poisonous. Since good medicines are three parts poisonous, what about the poison? If someone asks you to take this medicine, it will harm you."
Li Changze took a deep breath and exhaled the turbid air hard.
"I see."
He put the pills back into the jade bottle, then looked at Song Changming and said, "This is the first thing. There is another thing you need to help me. How did you prepare the poison you prepared back then? Write out the prescription and give me the prescription. I will leave. I will never come to you again from now on, and I guarantee that you will not have any trouble in the future."
Song Changming was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "I know that someone will find me sooner or later. This is a nightmare in my heart, and it cannot be gone... Decades have passed, and I thought the person who was looking for me would have come long ago, but I didn't expect that it would take decades to wait."
He looked at Li Changze and said, "I can give you the prescription, and I won't ask who you want to give. I only ask you one thing, my son... don't hurt him, they mother and son know nothing."
"good."
Li Changze nodded: "I promise you that as long as you give me the prescription, I will not only not make things difficult for you, nor will I make things difficult for your family. I will also send someone to send them a sum of money so that they can have food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
Song Changming said: "I just want you not to disturb them."
He turned back to the house, and was already trembling when walking. About half a moment later, Song Changming came out of the house, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and handed the paper to Li Changze and said, "This is the prescription from that time. There are two doses of medicines in total. These two medicines are not poisonous, but they are mixed together and are highly toxic. Others take gambling, and they often take them from poisonous snakes or poisonous weeds. I take bee venom..."
Li Changze took the prescription and looked carefully, then asked worriedly: "Isn't it difficult to get the medicines in this prescription?"
“Not difficult.”
Song Changming said: "If you want to buy all these things, you can buy them in a clinic and pharmacy, but I advise you not to buy them at one place at a time. There are many experts in this world, and maybe someone can see the unusualness of your prescription at a glance."
Li Changze nodded: "I remember."
He turned around and walked out, saying to himself: "You have a good rest. It will be very hard to hide for so many years. It will be very uncomfortable. From today on, you don't need to feel uncomfortable anymore."
After he said this, the woman named Yan'er stepped forward, and a silver light splashed out from her cuffs. The silver light swept across Song Changming's neck in an instant, and soon a bloodline appeared on Song Changming's neck.
Li Changze looked back and smiled and said, "You don't have a son, and the Yang family killed all your family back then. If you didn't think you might be useful in the future, you wouldn't have left your life. After all, the Yang family was the one who helped Queen Su find you back then."
