A woman with disheveled hair was tied to a pillar. Two steel knives were inserted into her chest. She was still alive. Her eyes were red and she was yelling at people. All the female relatives hid outside the building in fear. Only Zhao Guanren led the men to shout.
Stepped in.
"Ye! Why did you make me love my concubine? If you don't explain clearly, we won't be finished..."
Yuan Laosan shouted angrily, but Zhao Guanren raised his hand and frowned: "This is not a corpse. The corpse's eyes are all black and there are no whites. The poison in her body is too big, and even the detoxification soup can't kill it."
It came down and got into her skull instead!"
"What? Drill it, drill it into your head..."
The group of people were all frightened, but before they finished speaking, they heard a loud crash. Six Yiniang felt as if she had diarrhea, and a bunch of twisted white worms dripped out of her trouser legs. Ye Ruoqing, who followed, immediately made a "vomit" sound and held her hands.
The mouth rushed out.
"This, this is too much, will I be infected..."
Yuan Laosan took a few steps back in horror. Zhao Guanren stepped forward and pulled out a steel knife. He said that those who have never seen blood should hurry up and get out. Then he raised the knife without hesitation and split Liu Yiniang's cheek with one blow.
The head fell to the ground like half a piece of watermelon.
"Ugh~"
Yuan Laosan spat out a mouthful of filth and ran out in a hurry. Several princes and ministers couldn't bear it anymore and stumbled out of the house. Only Yuan Laosan and the prince were still standing, but their faces were expressionless.
He was also very livid.
"What a vicious trick, these damn bastards..."
Boss Yuan gritted his teeth and frowned. It was not just the blood that disgusted everyone, but there were several large black worms in the skull, like gangrene attached to the bone, deeply rooted in the brain, and each one was as thick as a little finger.
"These are really big iron worms. I think these grandsons want to dominate the world with poison..."
Zhao Guanren chopped several large insects into pieces with a knife, threw away the knife, clapped his hands and walked out. He ordered the guards to carry the corpses out and burn them, and then walked to the edge of the lake where everyone gathered.
"Don't be afraid! You are not infected..."
Zhao Guanren patted Yuan Laosan who was squatting on the ground, and asked loudly: "Women of the Yuan family, have you ever been to Qingshu Xiaoguan, or have you come into contact with any outsiders together? The sixth aunt has the biggest bugs in her body. She should be the third one."
A bewitched person!"
"No! We don't know any restaurant..."
The women of the Yuan family shook their heads one after another, but a young woman hesitated and said: "Prince Zhao! Those of us who have been poisoned have all gone to a women's medical clinic and drank their blood-activating and damp-removing powder, and it suddenly closed down a while ago.
, could it be their poison?"
"It must be, we also went there to drink medicine..."
The female relatives of the two ministers also shouted, and Zhao Guanren nodded and said: "It seems that they committed the crime separately. I'm afraid there are more than two places. The closure was only after I arrived in Gusu. The Onmyoji knew that I could distinguish between Gu insects and closed the door quickly.
Run away!"
"Yunxuan!"
Ye Jier asked: "Since you have been poisoned, why don't you take action? Do you have to wait for the poison to mature?"
"It should be that the time has not yet matured..."
Zhao Guanren said: "I guess I want to defeat the targets that need to be killed one by one when necessary to provide convenience for their people. Besides, officials are not easy to start with, so getting a group of female relatives is of no use. On the contrary, it can make you suspicious of each other."
!”
"Listen, do you still want to kill each other..."
Ji Xiaoshou came over and said: "The enemy has put a knife on your neck. Instead of killing the enemy, you are fighting in the nest. If King Zhao hadn't arrived in time, there would have been a great chaos in our court, and the century-old foundation of your Zhao family would have been lost."
Destroyed in one fell swoop!"
"Brother! I can't bear this tone, it's so damn useless..."
Yuan Laosan was furious
Standing up, Yuan Laoer also said angrily: "The bastard has bullied others too much. Even my wife has been poisoned. Why should our two families fight? Let's send troops together to attack Taiping Island. Only by confiscating the bastards' homes and exterminating their clans can we satisfy our hatred.
!”
"I agree! Let go of the contradictions and be unanimous in dealing with the outside world..."
The prince expressed his position very simply, and Boss Yuan also said: "I have no objection. How can our Zhao family's empire be coveted by foreign thieves? But the most urgent task is to trouble Brother Yunxuan to check all the family members in the court."
, but no more people can die, otherwise people will be in panic!"
"I can help, but there is a condition..."
Zhao Guanren said sternly: "You go back immediately and report to the elders of the two families. No matter how you talk, all the corpse poison powder must be handed over to me for destruction. Otherwise, I will go back to my hometown with a slap on my butt. Maybe within ten years, the corpse poison will kill you."
Everyone’s life!”
"Okay! I'll go back to the palace right now..."
The prince glanced at Mr. Yuan, and the two of them walked forward in tacit understanding. After some exchanges with their hands behind their backs, Mr. Yuan came back and said: "Yunxuan! I will go back soon. I will inform you immediately if there is any news. Then
Gather a group of people to treat the poison!"
"Tomorrow! It's too late today..."
Zhao Guanren smiled bitterly and said: "The way I see it, the Crown Princess and Mrs. Yuan each bring a few experienced female relatives to come to my place to help tomorrow morning. You all know what is needed. Just leave the dirty work to the servants and you will be responsible.
Guide and explain!”
"These old ladies just have nothing to do. If you have anything to do, just ask them to do it. Don't be polite..."
Boss Yuan agreed very generously, and the prince naturally didn't say anything. After the prince and Mrs. Yuan looked at each other, they tacitly named all the people who had been poisoned and took them to the pavilion by the lake.
There were whispers.
"Ernan! I have something to ask you..."
Zhao Guanren called Ji Xiaoshou to the side and asked: "Is the masked man who came to silence me that night the leader of the Shenyin Sect? I'm not questioning you, I just want to find out!"
"Yes! But I don't know about this, otherwise I would never let her do it..."
Ji Xiaoshou said frankly: "Actually, I have been taking the blame for her. I have no enmity with Duke Dingguo. The one who has enmity is the head of Shenyin. I have never taken any money from here, but the Shenyin sect is."
Those who are good at getting information, I facilitate them and treat them as eyes and ears, that’s all!”
"Can you recite the Great Compassion Mantra..."
Zhao Guanren asked confusedly, and Ji Xiaoshou nodded and said: "Of course I know everything from memory. Do you need to do something to save someone? I, a poor monk, can help!"
"Read a paragraph for Sixth Yiniang, she died so tragically..."
Zhao Guanren patted his arm, and Ji Xiaoshou readily agreed. Zhao Guanren walked to the back garden alone. When he entered a small courtyard, he saw Yongning sitting on a swing, holding a book and reading in boredom.
"Yongning!"
Zhao Guanren walked up to her and smiled: "After your 18th wedding next month, you will go to the border with the mission. Your belly won't be visible for two months!"
"You still want to stay here, when will you go back..."
Yongning looked at him reluctantly, Zhao Guanren squatted in front of her and said: "You are pregnant and can't travel. I will definitely rush to the border before you give birth, and then take you mother and son home together, but how can I talk to your grandpa Huang?"
Say, you have to think about it!"
"Hmph~ I just said that you were so animalistic that you bullied me..."
Yongning kissed him on the mouth cutely, just as Yongping and Yongwei walked in, Yongwei ran over and asked: "Uncle! The emperor's grandson has given up on the marriage, can we go home?"
"
"On the 19th of next month, you guys go back together..."
Zhao Guanren touched their heads one by one. The three princesses cheered in surprise. Zhao Guanren chatted for a while.
Then he walked out and came to the courtyard where he had been attacked. He opened the door and walked quickly to the second floor.
"Your Highness!"
The two young nurses bowed and then went downstairs. They only saw the once famous Second Young Mistress, Jing Xing from Shenyinmen, lying on the bed with only a thin blanket covering her lower body, and her chest and abdomen were wrapped with gauze. Her face was expressionless.
Looking at him sallowly, he said: "You're here!"
"Drink some water!"
Zhao Guanren took the water cup and put a straw in it. After Jing Xing tilted his head and took a few sips, he said: "I'll tell you some unfortunate news. Er Nan confirmed it to me personally. The masked woman who killed you,
He is your master!"
"I'm not surprised. The leader is not our master. Our master has passed away long ago..."
Jing Xing said quietly: "The leader has many secrets that cannot be known to outsiders. Even we don't know what she wants to do. We say she is collecting evidence from the courtiers. In fact, I feel...she is helping someone to rebel.
!”
"Does she have any connection with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom..."
Zhao Guanren looked at her with bright eyes, and Jing Xing said: "Yes! Absolutely, I accidentally saw her meeting a shadow secretly, and she was called Thousand-faced Rakshasa. What Ernan saw was not her true face.
We have never seen her before, and her ability to disguise herself is amazing!"
Zhao Guanren asked curiously: "Who do you think she is? Can she disguise herself as a man?"
"Impossible! No matter how disguised she is, her breasts will still be there..."
Jing Xing shook his head and said: "Once I saw her waist badge, a waist badge that allows you to enter and leave the palace. I didn't see what it was exactly, but it's probably around you, and maybe you know her too!"
"Okay! Have a good rest..."
Zhao Guanren helped her pull the blanket and said: "If you want me to avenge you, you can sort out the secrets you know and give them to me next time. If you don't want to, just recover and leave and do what you want.
Whatever you do, stay away from the world!"
"Thank you! Let me think about it for two more days..."
Jing Xing nodded movedly. Zhao Guanren smiled and turned around and went downstairs. As a result, he was approached by the Crown Princess as soon as he left the back garden.
"Brother-in-law! Come here..."
The Crown Princess called him behind the rockery and whispered: "We have discussed it together. No one is allowed to tell anyone what happened after the poison was dispersed. You have to keep it a secret for us, otherwise you will be embarrassed to live!"
"I don't have a big mouth, but I'm not allowed to waste food. Whoever uses it will eat it..."
Zhao Guanren laughed jokingly, but the princess was confused: "Can you help us tell us that this kind of thing is not contagious? The prince doesn't dare to sleep with me. We are all despised, especially the sixth generation."
We were all frightened by what happened with my aunt!"
"I've been saying it's not contagious. I believe I'll forget about it after a while. Don't worry..."
Zhao Guanren patted her shoulder, and the Crown Princess looked at him hesitantly, but suddenly someone outside called out to the Crown Princess, and she quickly ran out and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Great! I'm looking for the Prince Consort..."
A palace maid said anxiously: "Princess! Your nephew said he was possessed by an evil spirit. He invited a bunch of magicians but couldn't cure him. The prince asked someone to carry him over. Please take the prince consort over to have a look.
Well, it will be useless if you look at it!"
"I'll go! You really treat me as a medical clinic..."
Zhao Guanren looked unhappy, and the Crown Princess hurriedly picked him up and ran away. When she arrived at the middle courtyard, she saw a young man lying on the door panel, as straight as if dead, with an abnormal blue-gray color on his face.
"Death!"
Zhao Guanren ran over in shock and carefully looked at the young man's body with his soul-seeking eyes. Sure enough, the black death aura unique to the corpse man was emerging from the young man's mouth.
