The Chang'an Post House was in turmoil. The king suffered a sudden illness, and everyone in the post house was frightened. The medical officers in the post house were helpless. The people sent to report to the emperor and ask for the imperial doctor never returned, and everyone did not know what to do.
King Liu Ming of Jichuan was furious and grabbed Yi Cheng: "Why hasn't the imperial doctor arrived yet? Tell me, are you delaying on purpose?"
Yi Cheng was frightened and waved his hands quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if I have ten heads, I won't dare to delay. If anything goes wrong on behalf of the King, my whole family will be dead. I will go immediately and go in person!"
Changsha King Liu Fa grabbed Liu Ming, who was about to take action: "I don't care about their business, the king is poisoned."
"Poisoned? Who?" Liu Ming stared, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be broken: "In broad daylight, under the emperor's feet, who dares to poison me and other princes and kings?"
Liu Fa shook his head: "What the medical officer said, he also said that the poison is very powerful. Once it attacks, it will almost..."
"Come here, arrest everyone in the post house. The second brother only drank a few cups of tea after he came back. Keep an eye on the guy who served the tea. I want to interrogate him personally!" Liu Ming didn't finish listening to Liu Fa's words and hurriedly said
Find someone to arrange it.
The post house was brightly lit and there were many people in the shadows. The dark lights on the opposite side of the post house were so dark that you couldn't see anything, so naturally you couldn't see the pair of dark eyes on the wall. Su Ren lay on the wall and stared for a long time, then went down the ladder. The thatched house was slightly tidied up.
After a while, the rats, cockroaches and other indigenous people inside had already moved away. In front of a few evil people, they were weak and had no choice but to succumb.
Su Kai lay against the wall and fell asleep soundly. Leng Jun and Laifu went out. Huang Shisan was still watching. Only Hawking squatted in the room and warmed himself by the fire. In order to prevent the light from being seen by outsiders, the fire was very small.
Even if you pass through the house, you will be blocked by the surrounding walls.
Su Ren shook his head and sighed as he entered the door: "It's better to be a king. The four kings have hundreds of guards in total. Only the Southern Army can handle such a large force in Chang'an. Jing Zhaoyin doesn't take it seriously at all."
"There is no point in having too many people. This is Chang'an. They will be rampant in the post house. If they come out, someone will take care of them!" Huo Jin moved to Su Ren: "We have taken care of several of them since just now.
So far, three groups of people have come out, but none of them are alive or dead."
Su Ren looked at Hawking. Although Hawking's body had grown up, he was still just a child. Su Ren had considered letting Hawking do this. He started killing people in his teens. This is absolutely unimaginable in later generations, but in the big man
In the dynasty, when the average life expectancy was less than forty years old, getting married as a teenager, becoming a father as a teenager, and killing someone as a teenager didn't seem to be a big deal.
"How many have you killed?" Su Ren asked Hawking.
Huo Jin muttered: "Second brother didn't let me go. Su Kai just went out, and now second brother and Laifu are gone."
While the two were talking, Leng Jun and Laifu came back. Both of them were wearing black clothes, and the faint smell of blood drifted in with the wind. Although they were careful, there were still blood stains on their clothes. They rushed to the fire and took the clothes.
He raised his head and poured water into the bag. Leng Jun drank it and handed it to Laifu. Laifu didn't dislike it, so he put it in his mouth and drank.
"Okay, everyone is back, let's go back!" Su Ren stood up and patted his butt: "When I came here, I received the news that the matter has been completed. Even if the gods come down to earth, it will not help. After squatting here for three days, it should be
After we go back, Xiao Jinzi went to ask Lao Huang to come back, and remember to tidy up this place before leaving."
After leaving the courtyard gate, a horse rushed past the alley entrance. It could be seen clearly through the lights of the post house that the rider was Yi Cheng. It is true that not many Yi Cheng who are welcoming and sending off can have such riding skills.
Seeing that, Hawking quickly grabbed the crossbow.
Su Ren reached out and held it down: "No, it's time to let the emperor know, otherwise someone will become suspicious."
The Yi Cheng's horse flashed past and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a long series of hoofbeats. Several people followed the planned route, found dark corners, and walked on streets with few patrols, walking back and forth.
They kept walking and walking until late at night before returning home. After returning to his house, Su Ren stretched himself and heard a knock on the door before he even took off his coat.
"who?"
"Sir, the palace chamberlain is here, Your Majesty summons you!"
"Wait!"
He quickly took off his robe, put it on his body, took off his shoes, loosened his neat hair, and opened the door with bare feet. Outside the door, Liu Gao held a lantern and stood behind him an internal servant. This internal servant was from Jianzhang Palace.
Su Ren had seen him, and his name seemed to be Liu Jiqing. He was old and wrinkled, and he always stayed by the emperor's side. He was serious and serious no matter who he treated, even in front of Liu Che.
Su Ren quickly saluted: "The old chamberlain is here, I'm rude, please don't take offense."
Liu Jiqing said with a straight face: "Your Majesty has a decree, please Su Yilang rush to the post house immediately. The car is outside. Please hurry up."
"Please wait a moment, old chamberlain, I'll be here right away."
Returning to the room, Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly. According to the plan he discussed with Liu Che, he asked him to go to the post house, which meant that Dai Wang was no longer able to survive. The post Cheng's feet were really fast, and Liu Che's reaction was not slow.
Su Ren was thinking about how to minimize suspicion after going to the post house. It was impossible, as long as the other princes and kings were not sure.
There was no words all the way. When he arrived at the door of the inn, Liu Ming unexpectedly opened the car curtain for Su Ren: "Quick! His Majesty said that your medical skills are very extraordinary. You can even put out fires with the dead. This time, my second brother depends on you!"
Su Ren smiled: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I only know a little bit about it, but I wonder how the King is doing now?"
"Hey!" Liu Ming sighed as he walked inside: "Don't mention it. I have vomiting and diarrhea. It's useless to eat anything. It's only been a few hours and I look ten years older."
"Why is it so powerful? Can the cause be found?"
Liu Ming shook his head: "It was said to be poisoning, but how could he be poisoned? Everything was fine when we had dinner in the palace in the afternoon. The second brother didn't eat much at all. He just ate a plate of day lily, and I also ate that."
"Poisoned?" Su Ren said in surprise: "Who is so bold and dares to poison the king? The purpose of murdering the king is to destroy the nine tribes!"
"I looked at everyone in the inn, but I didn't have the slightest clue. Those quack doctors only said they were poisoned but couldn't do anything about it. I think they were just trying to explain it away."
Liu Deng's room was the best one in the inn. Not only was it large in size, but the decoration and everything used were brought from the palace. On the couch against the back wall, Liu Deng was lying with his eyes closed, his face sallow.
, his mouth was slightly open, and his beard was trembling. At first glance, he knew that he was seriously ill and that death was not far away.
Liu Che, Liu Fa, and Liu Sheng were all there, as well as a few servants and imperial doctors beside the couch. Liu Ming separated from the crowd and began to curse: "Get out of here, you useless trash!"
Su Ren first saluted Liu Che and secretly observed Liu Che's face. Anxious, absolutely anxious, his brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes were squinted, and he waved his hands: "Don't say goodbye, it's important to save people. On behalf of the king, I came all the way to see me.
Never let anything happen to Dai Wang!"
Liu Fa looked at Su Ren and said, "I'm sorry for Su Yilang. Please take a look at my second brother."
The imperial doctor beside the couch was kicked and kicked away by Liu Ming, and he dragged Su Ren to the couch. Su Ren took a deep breath, rolled Liu Deng's eyelids, and his pupils were dilated. He looked at Liu Deng's again.
The base of his tongue was dark. He closed his eyes and put three fingers on Liu Deng's wrist. His pulse was still there. Su Ren sat quietly on the edge of the couch. Both laymen and experts felt that Su Ren was performing diagnosis and treatment. In fact, Su Ren was doing diagnosis and treatment.
Su Ren was just pretending.
It took a full stick of incense to touch the left hand and the right hand. People in the room didn't even dare to breathe, waiting for Su Ren's decision. The news that Su Ren saved Mrs. Wei and his daughter had spread in the palace.
No one dares to say how he was saved. Anyway, he saved the princess. For this reason alone, those imperial doctors had to admire her.
Seeing that Su Ren had completed the diagnosis, Dr. Wang put Liu Deng's hand back into the bed: "Su Yilang, what do you think on behalf of the king..."
Su Ren stood up slowly, took the handkerchief from the servant and wiped his hands. He sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, great kings, the acting king is indeed poisoned. This poison is very powerful and has penetrated into the bone marrow. If it had been earlier,
After half an hour, I had a way to give it a try, but now..."
Su Ren hadn't finished what he said. Needless to say, he knew what Su Ren wanted to say. Several imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Ren said so, which meant that their judgment was not wrong. In front of Su Ren, an old doctor who had been practicing medicine for decades
The imperial doctor actually didn’t believe him anymore.
"Second brother...!" Liu Ming threw himself in front of Liu Deng's bed and cried loudly. Liu Fa followed closely, followed by Liu Sheng. Liu Che wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves: "Is there anything you can do?"
Su Ren shook his head: "There is nothing I can do. If the master is here, it might be possible. Unfortunately, the master has passed away for several years."
Liu Fa cried a few times, then stood up and asked Su Ren: "Do you know what the poison is?"
"The name of this poison is Hedinghong, but it has nothing to do with cranes. It is a kind of ore, bright red in color, and extremely poisonous. It is the most powerful poison in the world. As long as it is swallowed, it will be poisonous in just an hour or three.
!”
"Hedinghong?" Doctor Wang said quickly: "I have read a lot of medical books, how come I haven't heard of such a name?"
"Isn't it strange that I haven't heard of it? When I traveled around the world with my tutor, I saw it in a gold mining workshop. The white smoke that came out when smelting gold ore was Heding red. In fact, this thing is not red, but red.
The ore containing it is red and bright, like the top of a crane, so it is named Heding Red."
"Oh! Thank you Su Yilang for your advice!" The doctors thanked them one after another.
After Su Ren finished speaking, he happened to glance at Liu Che when he turned around. Liu Che blinked and was very satisfied with Su Ren's explanation.
Now that it was confirmed that Liu Deng was really poisoned, Liu Ming cried even harder. After all, he was his second brother, better than his cousins Liu Che, Liu Fa, and Liu Sheng. After crying for a long time, Liu Ming suddenly stood up and knelt down.
In front of Liu Che: "Your Majesty, someone has assassinated my second brother. I am sure that your majesty will find this person and avenge my second brother!"
Liu Che pulled Liu Ming up: "I will do it even if the third brother tells me. The king is also my second brother. I promise here that I will not give up until this person is found!" (To be continued)
