In the original situation, he didn't know much about Rui Hai. He only knew that his son was back and one of his clerks seemed to have been arrested.
However, there should be no more follow-up personnel investigations, which means that Rui Hai has not found the real mastermind and related figures.
Thinking about it, daring to use such taboo magic to deal with a court official is extremely sensitive and will attract the attention of Daxia Kyoto.
Back then, many members of the royal family in the Kyoto area of Daxia died due to the witchcraft rebellion, and countless people were implicated.
Even though the art of witchcraft is still spread, no one dares to bring this matter to light.
It seems that the other party has handled this matter very neatly. Once the clues reach the chief bookkeeper, they will definitely cut them off.
It is very likely that the chief clerk will be killed and silenced, and no trace will be left.
"There is nothing inappropriate. It is very worthwhile to risk the safety of hundreds of people with one person's life. My son is not nobler than others, so feel free to do it."
Zhang Mingtu took the order and left. He was quite relaxed when he came, but his steps were quite heavy when he left.
However, he did not leave the county government office immediately. Instead, he wandered slowly inside the county government office.
Well, using the Dragon and Tiger Waidan to hide his aura, and using the military's unique footwork to hide his aura for reconnaissance, when walking inside the county government office, he obviously wandered in front of many people, but no one noticed Zhang Mingtu.
This is a skill that Zhang Mingtu has honed by spending more than three years outside the border, staying day and night.
If you can't hide your aura, you will be hunted down by the great wizards of the northern barbarians and Grand Master level figures.
Before the life and death crisis, Zhang Mingtu had practiced many tricks.
It is also very simple and appropriate to use inside the county government.
Zhang Mingtu's first target was the chief clerk Rui Hai brought over to help him handle various government affairs in the county government.
The chief secretary had a typical image of a literati, with a fair complexion and a well-proportioned beard on his chin. His body was quite thin, but he was not too thin, and he looked strong overall.
Thanks to the method of literary cultivation created by the saints back then, as long as a scholar can obtain a normal academic status, his body will have talents infused into him, and his body will never be weak.
Usually those who are sent to serve as officials are in good health.
Even though he had locked the chief clerk long ago, Zhang Mingtu did not immediately rush to his room to investigate the situation.
The art of witchcraft and poison is very sensitive. Once it is involved, the Nine Clans will be implicated lightly. All those who are related to this line may be expelled from the Nine Clans, and they will not ask too many questions. They have always been killed wrongly.
Never let go.
Therefore, once they choose to intervene in this incident, the characters involved will definitely be extremely cautious.
Zhang Mingtu's hidden aura and voice shape were at the master level, and he was considered outstanding among the master levels, but he still watched carefully from a distance and did not approach hastily.
The behavior in the military often gives people a rude and arrogant attitude.
After all, the military only talks about force, and it seems that all they have in mind is chicken, but at most they are only soldiers who can truly lead a side. The generals are extremely delicate in form.
You even need to know yourself and the other party well, know yourself and the enemy to be victorious in every battle, and never be careless at any time.
Many generals in the army may appear to be rough and reckless in their actions, but in fact they only attack boldly after understanding everything in detail.
Zhang Mingtu's brother had been active at the border for more than ten years. Even though many memories of his actions were not brought into Zhang Mingtu's body, the caution in his character was also imprinted in Zhang Mingtu's mind.
Faced with a witchcraft that he had never dealt with before, Zhang Mingtu seemed quite attentive.
He made no other movements all day long and kept observing the chief clerk, keeping a distance of dozens of meters away.
After observing for a day, Zhang Ming Tutu was also quite surprised. This chief clerk was basically either dealing with government affairs or on the way to handle government affairs.
He is quite dedicated, no wonder Ruihai takes him with him.
In terms of professionalism alone, this chief clerk can be said to be quite qualified.
Zhang Mingtu observed him for a whole day and found no flaws or traces on him.
But Zhang Mingtu is not in a hurry, it still takes a long time.
Originally, the chief clerk was in the dark, and he did many things quietly without anyone knowing, but now the situation has been reversed. Zhang Mingtu and Rui Hai are already standing in the dark.
As long as you wait quietly, you will naturally let the other party reveal its flaws.
That special kind of Gu requires talent to take root and sprout, and in order for Ruihai's child to die quietly, there will basically be no major problems before the child is born.
The Gu worms haven't really hatched yet, so it's not a big problem yet.
After observing this place, Zhang Mingtu quietly visited Ruihai again late at night.
The main thing is to look at the specific situation of Rui Hai’s wife.
Originally, when officials went to their posts, their families would not accompany them, mainly because they were afraid that the journey would be too long and the journey would be tiring. In ancient times, it was easy for the entourage to die on the road due to acclimatization.
In this day and age, colds and fevers can also kill people.
But Ruihai was moving between Jianyi and Xingguo County. The journey was not far, and the waterway between the two counties was extremely developed. Ruihai's wife also followed him in the past few days.
"Please forgive me for visiting late at night."
"But how did things go?"
Even after a late-night visit, Rui Hai still hadn't rested and was still handling government affairs by an oil lamp.
Rui Hai's wife served two cups of tea and turned to leave, mainly to avoid suspicion, but was stopped by Zhang Mingtu.
"I heard that Madam is several months pregnant. My medical skills are quite good among my colleagues. I wonder if I can take Madam's pulse?"
Mrs. Wang stood there in shock and glanced at Rui Hai.
A subordinate suddenly approached the Shangguan's wife for some reason, which was quite taboo in the officialdom. Ruihai was stunned when he heard it, and nodded as he thought of the poison mentioned in the letter.
Although Mrs. Wang didn't understand the secret message between the two, she also understood that Rui Hai would not harm her, so she sat down on the side calmly and stretched out her hand in front of Zhang Mingtu.
Zhang Mingtu bowed slightly and placed his right index finger and ring finger on his pulse.
It can be said that his medical skills are not bad. After ten years at the border, his medical skills have been honed quite well. He can still save lives and heal the wounded.
But his main purpose was not to feel the pulse, but to find out the poison in Mrs. Wang's body.
Since he took over this matter, he must deal with the problem of Gu insects.
The main bookkeeper couldn't find out many things, so we could only start with Mrs. Wang's side.
