Watching the disciples riding away, Chu Nanzhi was still confused.
"This man is mentally ill."
Li Sanmu complained angrily: "Even if he wants the horse to be taken away, why bother to kill the horse?"
The groom was so frightened that he crawled out from under the carriage, his face covered with horse blood, and Xiaofen also ran out of the carriage in panic.
A group of people watched in stunned silence as the horse continued to bleed, and then gradually fell to its knees and lost its breath.
While wiping the blood on his face, the groom said sadly: "Oh, how can I explain this to the county magistrate when I go back?"
Li Sanmu curled his lips at the groom with contempt: "Of course he died in the line of duty, what else do I have to explain."
Chu Nanzhi had no time to worry about the horses anymore. She walked to Guan Erbai and squatted down, asking in a low voice: "Guan Langjun, are you injured?"
Guan Erbai gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's nothing serious. Madam Chu, don't worry."
Chu Nanzhi also didn't expect that this guy would actually block the knife for her. She looked carefully at his injured back with concern. Although there was no vital damage, the clothes were stained with blood, so he had to stop the bleeding as soon as possible.
Looking around, she suddenly found some familiar medicinal herbs growing in the forest. She got closer and took a closer look, and it turned out to be madder for stopping bleeding. She was delighted and quickly wrapped her hand with a thick cloth, carefully picked some and pulled them out cleanly.
Thorn, crush it into pieces and apply it on Guan Erbai's wounds. This will protect his life from danger for the time being.
After treating Guan Erbai's wounds, when she looked at the two men in black lying on the ground, her eyes were filled with evil aura.
Li Sanmu angrily stepped forward to the two of them, pulled open the cloth of their faces with fierce fangs, and asked loudly: "Tell me, who sent you to assassinate? Even the official servants of the county government dared to kill. If it hadn't been for that just now
These two are insane, I really have to explain myself here today."
The two men in black looked at each other with frightened expressions of fear.
Li Sanmu raised his sword and pointed it at the face of one of the men in black, threatening: "If you don't say anything, I will suffer the same fate as your accomplices."
Facing Li Sanmu's pressing step by step, although the two of them felt scared, they still gritted their teeth and refused to speak.
Chu Nanzhi strolled over, hooked the corners of her lips, smiled, and pretended to be sure, "Even if you didn't tell me, I would have guessed that she is the mistress of your Shen family, right?"
Hearing this, the men in black looked at each other with astonishment on their faces.
Chu Nanzhi has made a complete conclusion in her heart.
Li Sanmu was shocked and asked confusedly: "Ms. Han? Why did she want to assassinate us?"
Until now, this guy still hadn't figured out the reason. Chu Nanzhi shook his head helplessly and had no time to explain, and ordered to him:
"Li Langjun, you and the horseman will take Guan Langjun back to the county office and escort the two criminals back together. If they are willing to confess truthfully, I will ask the county magistrate to exempt them from the death penalty."
After that, he took out the package from the overturned carriage and led Xiaofen forward in a hurry.
There is still some distance from Nanhua Mountain. Without a carriage, we can only go on foot, which will probably waste a lot of time.
She began to vaguely realize that the traitor's killing of the horse just now was not just a joke, but probably had ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, she said to Xiaofen with some worry: "Good sister, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, we have to speed up our pace."
"good."
Xiaofen replied calmly, followed closely behind her, and hurried on.
The two of them did not dare to neglect for a moment, and hurriedly and slowly arrived at the foot of Nanhua Mountain, just as the sun was rising.
Chu Nanzhi raised his head and looked at the mountains that towered into the clouds. He saw cliffs and jagged rocks everywhere, which was frightening to look at.
But they had already reached the foot of the mountain, and there was absolutely no reason to back down. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and mustered up the courage to pull Xiaofen up to the top of the mountain step by step.
Seeing the tops of some building towers of Nanhua Temple, I heard noisy voices coming one after another:
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, the county government officials are coming to the mountain. Uncle Shi ordered everyone to gather at the mountain gate."
Chu Nanzhi was overjoyed when she heard this. Her already weak body regained strength and pulled Xiaofen to continue climbing. Finally, she reached the top of the mountain in one breath just as the sun was rising.
Looking at the magnificent buildings surrounded by mountains in the distance, Chu Nanzhi took a few long breaths and immediately asked Xiaofen: "Sister Xiaofen, do you still remember picking tea that day?"
In which direction is your garden?"
Xiaofen looked around and searched carefully for a while. Suddenly she seemed to see a familiar building. She pointed to the northeast and shouted happily: "Sister, it's over there."
"Okay, let's go there."
The two of them walked slowly around the stone wall, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of falling into a deep ravine if they made a wrong step.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally saw the five big characters "Nanhua Golden Temple" reflected on the top of the tall tower inside the stone wall.
Chu Nanzhi found a low position and climbed to the top of the wall first, then picked up Xiaofen.
As soon as the two of them climbed over the courtyard wall, a faint voice came to their ears: "Little lady, your legs and feet are quite nimble. You caught up with me so quickly."
Then he added with a playful smile: "Can't you let me go?"
Chu Nanzhi looked around and saw that it was the abominable disciple just now. At this time, he no longer stuttered or had the same anger as before, but his eyes were still not serious when he looked at people.
Chu Nanzhi took Xiaofen and turned a blind eye to find a secret place to hide.
Seeing that she ignored him, the disciple seemed a little disappointed, and continued to talk persistently: "Hey, do you know where this is?"
Chu Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him angrily and looked at the tower with a plaque in the distance: "If you are blind, I can help you cure it."
The disciple was not discouraged even after being scolded by her. Instead, he came over shamelessly, put on a look that he thought was very free and handsome, stood in front of her, and said with a weird smile: "Since you know where this is, why don't you
You sneaked in, what do you want?"
"What's the point of sneaking in here?"
Chu Nanzhi said casually, looking around him with sharp eyes, and found that the companion who came with him was missing.
Facing her cold face, Deng Tuzi continued to maintain his enthusiasm: "Oh, of course I have things to do."
It seems like he still stutters.
Chu Nanzhi frowned: "Of course I also have things I want to do."
"Are you here to look for something?"
Dentuzi smiled pretending to be mysterious.
Chu Nanzhi was shocked when she heard this: "How did you know that?"
Dentuzi pointed to a garden not far away and replied leisurely:
"Did you see that those golden flowers over there are highly poisonous? A while ago, I saw a stupid woman picking a bunch and giving it to another stupid woman. I heard that just a little bit of it is poisonous.
It can kill people in an instant, so"
"Do you come here often?"
Hearing him mention the source of the poisonous tea, Chu Nanzhi became a little excited and immediately interrupted him.
The disciple immediately lowered his face and imitated her tone and replied: "I have no comment on this matter. It's not your responsibility, little lady, to ask about it."
"Okay, then how do you recognize this object?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with cold eyes, and then looked at the garden not far away.
Seeing her eyes full of curiosity, the disciple wanted to make things difficult for her again, but he was worried that the young lady would spoil his own affairs in a hurry, so he had to pretend to be helpless and replied: "Isn't it just Gelsemium? Broken Heart
The most powerful poisonous flower among grasses, it is everywhere in my hometown and no one recognizes it."
Gelsemium?
Broken intestine grass?
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized something, and gradually remembered some things in his fuzzy mind. No wonder he always felt like he had seen them before.
She suddenly remembered that when she had just graduated from the police academy, she was on a mission and received a case in which someone died of poisoning due to eating Gelsemium elegans. At that time, she searched for a long time but could not find out the cause. Finally, she found half a bag of honeysuckle and honeysuckle in the deceased's home.
