Xia Shoufu leaned on the Grand Master's chair and said: "Four years ago, when the corpse poison first appeared, the news leaked out. The person transporting the poison powder was intercepted and killed on the way. Do you know who that person was?"
"I've found it..."
Zhao Guanren sat next to the two of them and said, "It should be Zhang Tianbao, but why was he the one who transported the poisonous powder? Why didn't the imperial envoy at the time take it away?"
"At that time, the imperial envoy went to Yuzhou Mansion to issue an edict, and the poisonous powder was discovered on the third day after leaving..."
Xia Shoufu solemnly said: "Zhang Tianbao sent a flying pigeon to the capital. The Ministry of War sent him a carrier pigeon and ordered him to take the poisonous powder and send it to the capital quickly. Zhang Tianbao led the escort and left, but was intercepted and killed on the way.
, the court said that he died in the border battle in order to investigate the case!"
"I'll go! So that's what it is..."
Zhao Guanren said in surprise: "Did the Ministry of War receive the carrier pigeon? Was the carrier pigeon sent by the Ministry of War?"
"He received it and distributed it, but he was ordered to lead the army and deliver it to the imperial envoy..."
Xia Shoufu said: "The letters sent by Fei Ge are all in cipher text, and outsiders would not know what they mean if they find them. The cipher text is different between the armies, and the Ningzhou Guards who collected the pigeons also have detailed records. This means that the Ministry of War
Something went wrong, someone killed the real pigeon and sent a fake one!"
Zhao Guanren spread his hands and said: "Then wouldn't this investigation have revealed it?"
"Two people ran away from the Ministry of War. They were both low-ranking officials of the sixth grade. The Minister of the Ministry of War at that time was all sent to the prison. A group of people were arrested but no explanation was found..."
Xia Shoufu took a sip of tea before saying: "Zhang Tianbao had a guard who was not dead. After he was rescued, he said that all the enemies were masked and that his martial arts skills were extremely high. Zhang Tianbao was also a tough guy. He swallowed the entire bottle of poison powder before he died.
The belly turned into pus on the spot, so the enemy did not succeed!"
Zhao Guanren wondered: "Then you didn't settle the score with the Bian family?"
"I didn't know Accountant Qi at the time, so I thought it was a secret agent who set fire to the poisonous powder..."
Xia Shoufu waved his hand and said: "After Zhang Tianbao was intercepted and killed, the imperial envoy ordered his family to continue to develop poisonous powder and asked hidden stakes to monitor it. However, the Bian family was still unable to do it. The Ningzhou Superintendent issued an ultimatum.
If they can’t hand over the poison powder, they won’t be able to do this business!”
"Tsk tsk~"
Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "Our Dashun court is full of lice and loopholes. The Ministry of War can let spies sneak in. I'm afraid there are many other spies cases, right?"
"It's indeed quite a lot! But as soon as you mentioned the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we suddenly became enlightened..."
Prince Duan knocked on the table and said: "We checked wrongly from the beginning. It was not the fault of the lucky thieves. Of course we couldn't find anything. We didn't take Little Thailand seriously at all. Who would have thought that they would be so courageous?"
, I must let them destroy the country this time!"
"Two adults! Let me tell you the real situation..."
Zhao Guanren raised four fingers and said: "Actually, Zhang Tianbao found four bottles of poisonous powder, and he hid three of them. No one knows the purpose, but Zhang Tianbao even hid it from his family, saying it was to destroy
Corpse powder used to eliminate traces of corpses!"
"..."
The two adults looked at each other in surprise and said, "It turns out that the poisonous powder has always been in the hands of the Zhang family!"
"That's right! There was a gambler named Zhang Tiansheng in the Zhang family. He killed someone who came to ask for debt more than a month ago..."
Zhao Guanren said: "After killing the man, the boy took out the corpse powder and threw it into the dry well to dissolve the body. As a result, it rained heavily that night, and the water in the original dry well rose until it flooded to the outer house of the Bian family.
In the middle, the corpse poison spreads out like this!"
"It's really not as good as God..."
Prince Duan asked hurriedly: "How did you find out? Did you just find out? Zhang Tiansheng has been arrested. Whether he did it intentionally or not, this is not a small crime!"
"I went to see the old lady of the Zhang family and asked everything, but..."
Zhao Guanren said helplessly: "Zhang Tiansheng ran away four days ago. He probably discovered something was wrong, and he may have a bottle of corpse poison powder in his hand. I have found the remaining two bottles, and I have also sent the official document of the sea arrest."
Yes, there is a reward of two hundred taels!"
"Two thousand reward!"
Prince Duan impatiently slammed the table and said, "If I don't kill his head when I come back, I give him twenty sticks and give him five hundred taels. It would be terrible if the corpse poison leaks out!"
"Your Majesty is so generous in his actions, I admire him..."
Zhao Guanren raised his hands and said: "Mr. Ge! As the chief disease officer, I am promoted, and it is my duty to eliminate corpse poison. Corpse poison is not a weapon of war. It can transform big fish in the sea into corpses. Once it is leaked, human beings will die, so I beg to destroy it."
Leave no trace of corpse poison behind!"
"Well! I really admire your broadmindedness and vision..."
Xia Shoufu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Why did the emperor throw the bowl in front of the court? The emperor was not angry that the poisoning failed, but that those people were greedy for profit and short-sighted. If we can poison them, so can they. When the time comes, everyone will be devastated, and no one can take advantage of it."
!”
"Oh? I actually thought of getting together with the emperor..."
Zhao Guanren realized that he had underestimated the emperor. He did not expect that an emperor could have such foresight.
"I know you are sincere in treating poison. His Highness said that you were jealous of him before. You are really good..."
Xia Shoufu smiled again and said: "But the emperor's intention is not to eliminate the poison, but to seal the corpse poison as a deterrent to other countries. Tell them clearly that if they dare to invade our Dashun territory, we will
Let your country be filled with corpses!"
"No, no, no! This is not a nuclear weapon, it will really kill you..."
Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "What I mean is that the court is full of loopholes. As long as the poisonous powder is not extinguished, people will be concerned about it. If it is stolen by a traitor and spreads everywhere without knowing whether to live or die, thousands of people will be killed."
Tens of thousands of zombies are running rampant everywhere, who can stop them?"
"impossible!"
Prince Duan said firmly: "The poisonous powder is hidden in the Forbidden Palace and is guarded by the Grand Master. Who has the ability to steal it? Besides, there is Zhang Tiansheng. If his bottle falls into the hands of Little Thailand, we will not
Isn’t it passive, so you don’t have to worry too much!”
"You have even suspected the six ministers. What if the Grand Master is a traitor..."
Zhao Guanren clapped the back of his hands and said: "I heard that there are three great masters guarding the Forbidden Palace. As long as one of them has a problem, it is easy to steal something. Let's just destroy the corpse poison and declare to the outside world that we have poisonous powder. Even if
Even if you say no one will believe it!"
"this……"
The two adults looked at each other hesitantly, when a eunuch knocked on the door and said that Tan Qingning had arrived. Zhao Guanren quickly ran over and opened the door. He only saw the blood stains on Tan Qingning's body. His soft armor had been stabbed twice, and his face was as yellow as tissue paper.
Ugly.
"What happened? Has the corpse poison been robbed..."
Zhao Guanren hurriedly ran over to help her, while Tan Qingning walked into the study tiredly, took off her leather satchel and said with a sad smile: "I'm lucky to be humble, but fortunately I lived up to my duty. I got all the four bottles of poisonous powder, but I was intercepted by thieves on the way. I'm waiting for a bloody battle to break through."
Just got away with it!"
"It'll be good to come back! Fortunately..."
Prince Duan came up and wanted to take the satchel. Zhao Guanren snatched it away and said: "Qing Ning! Did you hear that Ouyang Renjie has defected and brought a group of Thai demons to assassinate me? Some of you black-clad guards also
Their spies!"
"Your Highness! Mr. Ge..."
Tan Qingning suddenly knelt on the ground and said with a sob: "We are indeed guilty of negligence, but my senior brother will never rebel. I, the guards in black, are all good men. I led more than 20 people out of the city in a humble position, and all of them were injured."
, Your Highness and Mr. Ge, please believe me and wait!"
"Deputy Tan Qianhu! Please get up quickly..."
Xia Shoufu helped her up with his own hands and said, "I know you are loyal, but the Governor of Jing has come out of the guard field."
Such a big mistake must be investigated to the end, but I can assure you that it will be handled impartially, and I will never let a bad person go, and I will never unjustly accuse a good person!"
"Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Your Highness..."
Tan Qingning stood up with tears streaming down her face. Zhao Guanren opened the bag and looked at the poisonous powder. He smiled and said, "That's right. I have nine bottles of poisonous powder in my hand. I have to check whether there is one left.
Question mark, I will destroy it in public right now!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let us ask for a decree..."
Prince Duan grabbed the satchel, and Zhao Guanren could only say: "Let's do this! You don't need too much poisonous powder, one bottle can destroy the whole world. Your Highness and I will each keep one bottle, and we will destroy the rest in front of you, otherwise the more poisonous powder will be
The bigger the target, the easier it is to be stolen!"
"Two bottles! Take one and hide it well..."
As Prince Duan spoke, he was about to take out the poisonous powder. Zhao Guanren shouted deliberately: "Hey! You can't take it out. If the powder leaks out, you will die. Professionals must do the job. The poisonous powder can be spread through breathing. Inhalation
One bite and all four of us will be dead!"
"If you didn't tell me earlier, take it away quickly and get some water for me to wash my hands..."
Prince Duan was so frightened that he quickly handed him the bag and ran out with both hands raised. Xia Shoufu also stepped out instinctively and said: "Take care of it quickly, just leave two bottles of poison powder, and the rest
Take the poisonous powder and destroy it in public tomorrow morning!"
"Then you have to send me several hundred forbidden troops, otherwise I won't be able to defeat those Xiaotai..."
Zhao Guanren held up the bag with a look of helplessness on his face. Xia Shoufu said without hesitation: "You go to Commander Wu yourself and hand over the poisonous powder to him. Just say what I want. If Tan Qianhu is fine, let him do it."
Go for personal protection, there will be someone to take care of you!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Tan Qingning immediately followed Zhao Guanren. The little princess dragged Zhao Guanren to have a midnight snack. Zhao Guanren used corpse poison to scare her away. Finally, he found a wooden box, put two bottles of corpse poison in it, and put a seal on it before taking it away.
As Tan Qingning and the Forbidden Army left.
"Hehe~ Sister! Your acting skills are good. Are there any gains in Xiangtian County..."
Zhao Guanren got into the carriage with Tan Qingning, and when he opened the knife edge of the leather armor, he saw that the white flesh inside was fine at all, and the injuries and blood stains were all staged.
"If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely fall into the trap in Xiangtian County, but Ouyang Renjie will never fall for you..."
Tan Qingning leaned next to him and smiled: "Once Ouyang Renjie finds out that I am out of the city, he will know that there is a trick, and he will not abandon the near and far away. Attacking you is the best choice, but I really didn't expect that he would be a traitor, and you still
To be able to defeat him is simply unbelievable!”
"Hehe~ Anyone who is hit by an earth mine at close range will be dizzy..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "But I didn't expect it to be him. I thought there were only a hundred households in Dingtian. It seems that Dashun has been infiltrated very seriously. They have been keeping an eye on the powerful Ji country, and they were able to kill a group of insidious pirates.
I completely forgot about it!”
"Oh~ It's so miserable this time..."
Tan Qingning sighed and said: "I came back with blood all over my body. I wanted to take my brothers to get some credit, but when I entered the city, there was bad news. There were so many traitors in the guard field. Don't talk about credit now. I can
It’s good to save your head!”
"Your senior brother's future is uncertain, but not only will you be fine, you will also be promoted..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly pinned her down and said with a lewd smile: "Little lady! The imperial envoy ordered you to protect me closely. You have to stay close to me when you sleep. Just obey my brother tonight. Your body is going to make him greedy to death."
!”
"No! I have Shou Gong Sha, I can't explain it to Master..."
"Shou Gongsha can't keep his mouth shut. Don't you still have your mouth?"
"Well! Kissing is okay, but you can't push it too far..."
