Chapter 11 Chapter Eight Corpse Poison

It is said that those brilliant doctors tied a gold wire to the patient's wrist, separated by a long distance, only relying on the good conductivity of the gold wire, the transmitted pulse vibration, to determine where the patient is. Something went wrong. In this era when women are closed, rich and powerful families usually use this method to see a doctor for their wives and unmarried daughters. I am not a brilliant doctor, and my medical skills are not even comparable to that of a quack doctor, so naturally I don't know how to use golden threads to suspend pulses. With his three-inch tongue and Cai Yuanqin's concern for his daughter, he finally walked into the poisoned girl's boudoir under a bunch of unfriendly eyes, and saw her true face in Lushan.

Cai Yuanqin has only one daughter, named Cai Yixi, it is said that it is to commemorate his wife who died of dystocia. Because she is an old woman, and I don't know if she has committed too many sins. Although there are many wives and concubines, there is only such a daughter under her knees, so she loves her very much. As the saying goes, hold it in your hand for fear of falling I'm afraid it will melt in my mouth. This time when his daughter went out to play, he was actually poisoned by a strange poison. In a rage, he killed the guards and their family members. Standing in this outrageously luxurious room, I really felt how much Cai Yuanqin doted on his daughter.

This boudoir is several times larger than the guest room I just lived in. It was ridiculous when I lived in it, and I also lamented that the rich are different, and the guest rooms are bigger than the whole house of ordinary people. Cai Yixi lay quietly on the bed filled with fragrance, her jet-black hair was scattered around the pillow, it seemed that someone should comb it every day. She is about 28 years old and looks so beautiful that people think it is a work of art. On the finely crafted fair face, there are slightly pale lips, a standard mouth shape, a small but straight nose, the big eyelids are tightly closed, and the slender eyelashes are motionless. Like dead.If it wasn't for the slight ups and downs that could be seen through the quilt on the chest, it would really make people think that it was a wonderfully crafted statue.

I pretended to beckon to the maid, pulled her hand out of the quilt, and then lightly placed it on her veins.Hee hee, the skin is delicate and smooth, very warm, and the touch is definitely much better than that old woman Feng Xiaoyue! "How is the little girl?" Cai Yuanqin asked nervously as he watched me close my eyes and look thoughtful. "Please take a step to talk." I reluctantly withdrew my hand. It's rare to have the opportunity to take advantage of this kind of eldest lady, not to mention that today he intends to accept her as a foster daughter, and she might become a princess in the future!

Such a noble status is something we ordinary people would never even think about in our lifetime.Haha, but what about the status, I still took advantage of it. Qingfeng, who knew me very well, saw that I showed an inscrutable look, and immediately shook his body and almost fell down.I'm afraid he peeked at his thoughts just now.Hmph, I'll settle the score with you later. When he came to Cai Yuanqin's study, he couldn't wait to ask repeatedly: "What's wrong with my little girl?" "Guiqianjin was indeed poisoned, there is no doubt about it." I hesitated for a while, and decided to tell the truth: "It's just that this kind of poison is a bit weird."

"What kind of poison is it?" "Corpse poison." "What!" Cai Yuanqin was shocked, "What is corpse poison?" "Simply put, it's a certain liquid secreted by a person after death. This kind of thing is very poisonous. Did Gui Qianjin have some small wounds on her body after she was rescued?" I asked. He grabbed a maid beside him, "Xi'er has always been taken care of by you, is there really a wound on her body?" The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she stammered and answered with difficulty: "Yes... there is one. On the young lady's neck, it looks like it was scratched by some sharp weapon. It's very small, so the servant didn't pay much attention."

"I didn't care too much, huh, you dare to say that you don't care too much, pull me out and cut her!" Cai Yuanqin kicked her to the ground, no matter how the maid begged, she didn't take another look, only listening to the miserable voice Being pulled further and further away by the guards. I coughed dryly and explained: "This is the reason why the anti-drug beads are useless. Although corpse poison is called poison, in fact, it is not a kind of demon poison, but a curse. Look at the appearance of your daughter , I am afraid that in another seven days, it will become a walking dead, the same as the thing that bit her."

These words frightened Cai Yuanqin's face to be paler than that of the maid just now, and his superior arrogance disappeared without a trace, and what was left was just an ordinary old man's naked worry for his daughter. He seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, sat heavily on the chair behind him, and took a deep breath. "Then, can Xi'er be saved?" His voice was old and weak. "Actually, it's not that there is no such thing." I smiled like a profiteer.It seems that this time, not only one million taels of money will be obtained. "Really!" The old fox regained his energy, and he grabbed my hand excitedly, "Master Ye, please save her. Xi'er has no mother since she was a child. I am in the officialdom, and I have to fight with those deadly enemies every day. , I really didn't give her much care, I'm really sorry for her..."

I pulled back my hand with a dry smile. What I hate most in my life is this kind of emotional entanglement. Whether it's family, friendship or love, all of them are boring. They belong to the type of eating and doing nothing.Just hearing it makes my heart hurt and my brain swells. "No matter how much I pay, even if I hand over all my property, I will save Xi'er!" Cai Yuanqin said again. I suddenly smiled brighter, or this sentence is nice. "General, it is my duty to save Lingqianjin, how can I talk to you about money?" I made a resolute look of death. Fuck, the idiot who really believes that guy will give up all his things, I'm afraid I don't know how I died.Greed, there still needs to be a limit, which is the highest level of life preservation.

The old man also felt that he had exaggerated, and immediately changed his words without any embarrassment: "In this case, as long as the young master can heal the little girl, the one million I promised will be given with both hands immediately!" faint!After all, it turned back to a million.It seems that this fox has become a spirit, powerful.However, I'm not a good bird if I don't speak at night, everyone will wait and see. I coughed, "Since this is the case, there is no delay, may I ask who was present when Miss Yixi was attacked?" "There are 180 of her personal guards, all of whom were educated by me. All of them are first-rate in martial arts, and their loyalty is beyond doubt. It was they who fought their way out and escorted the little girl back." Cai Yuanqin was a little proud.

"Then invite them all over, I want to ask about the situation at that time." I took a sip of tea, and no matter what I did, I collected information first, which is also one of my principles of doing things. Cai Yuanqin was a little embarrassed, "I killed them all in a fit of anger." "Not a single one alive?" I was taken aback. "No, one is still alive, he is the head of the guard." His smile was a bit forced, "However, after he rescued the little girl with all his might and came back, his sanity became unclear. He was crazy all day long, and the imperial doctor said that he seemed to be suffering Some sort of intense fright.” I rubbed my nose, "In this way, he is almost dead. Apart from Ling Qianjin, there are no witnesses to that incident? Trouble, really trouble." "Whether they die or not, what does it have to do with my little girl?" Cai Yuanqin said displeased. "It's a big deal." I pondered for a while, and explained: "It's not difficult to detoxify the walking corpse. But the thing that hurt Miss Yixi, as far as I know, should be a big zombie. The corpse of this monster Poison is very troublesome, and it needs glutinous rice and its tooth powder to be cooked to eat. There are no witnesses, which means that we will not know exactly where Miss Yixi was attacked." After listening to my explanation, Cai Yuanqin breathed a sigh of relief, "I know the location very well. It is in Furong Town, which is about two hundred miles away from Yizhou. Recently, a team of 300 people was sent to investigate, but now Haven't heard from them yet." What reconnaissance, I think it is a massacre of the city.I shook my fan, "I don't think the general can wait for their news." "Why?" He was a little surprised. "It's very simple. If there are really big zombies there, no matter how many people you send there, they will just die. I'm afraid all your scouts have turned into walking corpses." Cai Yuanqin gasped, "Is that thing really that powerful?" I smiled and didn't answer. I just stood up and said, "It's not too late. I'm going to Furong Town immediately." "No, you can't go." He also stood up and motioned to the left and right to stop me. I was a little surprised, "General, what does this mean?" "It's not interesting." He sighed, "I'm just afraid that once you leave, you won't come back." "Go to the hunters and ask, my reputation and word-of-mouth are absolutely top-notch. After accepting the task, no one will release pigeons!" I was annoyed. "Young man, the old man has been in the officialdom and battlefield for decades, and he still stands tall because there are so many people watching. I don't believe in anyone but myself." I snorted, "If the general is worried about us, he can send someone to monitor." "No need. I can tell who you are at a glance. If you want to escape, no one can stop you." Cai Yuanqin said slowly: "The best way is to keep you in this town. You Isn't there a servant? You can let him go and bring back the zombie's teeth." "Are you determined not to let me go?" I was annoyed, with an urge to order Qingfeng to kill everyone, and then walk out leisurely. "That's right." Cai Yuanqin laughed and said, "You don't want to kill me and leave. Don't say whether you have this ability, even if you do, there is no place for you in the world." It seems that this time, he was really eaten to death.Alas, a fox who has been in the officialdom for decades and turned into a fine fox is extraordinary.OK!I admit it! "Then, please give me one night to think about it." I stopped Qingfeng, who felt my mood fluctuating and wanted to do something. "No problem." Cai Yuanqin warned: "Don't try to escape, and you are not allowed to make any small moves. If you escape, I will hunt you all over the world and turn you into a mouse crossing the street. If my daughter dies unfortunately, all of you Go and be buried with me!" After the bastard left, several guards "cautiously" pushed us back to the guest room. "Did you feel it?" I looked around, but I didn't find anyone watching, so I asked. "I feel it." Qingfeng nodded. I snorted, "Sure enough. The faint demonic aura exuding from that young lady should be of the same type as the mixed lust ghost I met a while ago." "Could it be the owner of that lustful ghost?" Qingfeng judged: "Didn't the boss say that it should be a monster?" "Can zombies be considered monsters?" I disdainfully said, "Zombies are just human bodies who have abandoned their souls. Thought, it is even more impossible to create that kind of complex hybrid species.” After thinking for a while, I said again: "Anyway, this matter can't be ignored. Qingfeng, you go to Furong Town tomorrow, and go back quickly. If you can, you can catch that thing for me, and it's best to have it Live." "Boss, what should you do?" Qingfeng was worried. "You think I'm really powerless!" I laughed loudly, "When I didn't have you and Xueying before, I still did my work as a hunter! There is absolutely no way to protect myself. The problem, besides, this is Zhen Guo Mansion, before you come back, that old fellow would never dare to touch me." "If something happens to you, I'm afraid my sister will destroy the entire Chang'an City, and then depending on your mood, do you want to freeze the whole world into ice and bury you with me?" "It's not that exaggerated." Thinking of Xueying's cold and beautiful face, my heart warmed up for no reason, "I signed a life-and-death contract with you. If I die, you will disappear from the world in an instant .” "We're just going back to the demon world. According to my sister's personality, I will definitely crawl back to the human world from the bottom to avenge you." "Thank you, Qingfeng." My voice softened uncommonly, "You have to be careful this time. Judging from the evil spirit on Cai Yixi's wound, that thing is definitely not as simple as a simple big zombie." "Since you are worried about me, Boss, can you consider opening all my seals?" Qingfeng said with a smile.When did this guy learn such a human expression? I knocked hard on his head, "Dream, I don't want the world to be destroyed so early." "Stingy!" Qingfeng muttered in a low voice. In the distance, the dog kept barking, as if he had a premonition of something bad.Deep down in my heart, the feeling of uneasiness grew stronger.What is it that makes me so restless?Looking at the thick night outside the window, I fell into deep thought. Early the next morning, Qingfeng separated from me and embarked on the road to Furong Town. According to his footsteps, it is more than a thousand miles away, and he should be able to arrive tonight.Thinking about it carefully, since I got this servant, so many years have passed, and it is the first time to separate, and I feel a little bit reluctant. Alas, I can't fix him for the time being!Under my coercion, that guy won't take the opportunity to cheat for his own benefit, stay out and not come back, will he? After breakfast, I strolled in the garden.Sure enough, it is a wealthy family. Autumn flowers all over the country are blooming in full bloom, and the fragrance is overflowing. Looking at these delicate and beautiful flowers that are too delicate to touch, I still have no way to relax. The entire Zhen Guo Mansion seems to be filled with a weird atmosphere, it is that kind of atmosphere that makes me feel depressed. Suddenly he heard a not-so-sincere laughter, and saw General Cai appear with a hug.Depend on!Are you using this momentum?This is still in the garden of my own home, if it falls outside, I don't know how much pomp he will have. "Master Ye, did you get used to sleeping well last night?" His tone was full of hypocrisy. "It's okay. The bed is so big that I can't fall off it no matter how I turn it over." I answered casually. "Ha." Cai Yuanqin laughed cheaply, "Should the old man find some maids to press the bedside for the son to fill in the vacancy?" "Thank you very much." I was sweating coldly. I can only think about this kind of thing. Since I took in that damn monster servant, I have never touched a woman again. It's not because I have a habit of cutting off my sleeves, nor is it because I have a psychological shadow.It's that Xueying, even if the female creature hugs me, she will fight desperately with others, let alone "that" and "that". I'm afraid she will change the entire Tang Dynasty regime once. And Qingfeng's explanation for this is very concise and clear, "My sister has a father-in-law complex." After a long time, how could I, who is so handsome, have anything to do with their ugly father? Putting aside our wild thoughts, Cai Yuanqin and I exchanged a few pleasantries with that old fox, and after that, we couldn't find anything to talk about anymore. In the midst of embarrassment, a guard ran over in panic and whispered in his ear. His face changed immediately, with anger and worry lingering between his brows, he cupped his hands and said to me: "There was a little accident at home, I won't be with you, please forgive me." Before I could return the gift, he strode away, took only a few steps and then turned back, "Forget it, I'm not afraid of making my family scandal public. I often hear that there are countless strange people among your hunters. Perhaps For this kind of thing, Ye Gongzi will be more experienced." Old fox, I'm afraid it's not safe to leave me here, so I should carry insurance with me. I am secretly alert, this old guy will not kill me after heals his daughter, will he? All kinds of shocking rumors from the outside world, as well as the evaluation and analysis of him from the hunter world, this is indeed very possible.Alas, this transaction is really going to lose a lot. "Wang Cheng, please explain the recent events to Mr. Ye," Cai Yuanqin ordered. A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper bowed to him, and whispered to me as he walked. "Young Master Ye, the nearest Zhen Guo Mansion is not peaceful." The opening remarks were straightforward, and it seemed that this person didn't like to talk superfluous nonsense, "In ten days, three grandmas died in a row in the back room." The so-called grandma is the concubine married by Cai Yuanqin.It is said that his main house has been vacant for sixteen years, but there are dozens of concubines, even if they are broken by fingers, they are not enough. Generally speaking, among all the rich and famous families, the scramble for the back room is the most tragic. Intrigues, open and dark, and all kinds of insidious tricks are used, which is not much worse than political struggles. It is said that men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men.Who doesn't want to have the greatest influence on their man?Especially when that man still has a lot of power.In such a situation, Cai Yuanqin's wives and concubines would fight desperately for the hanging main room position, even at the expense of killing people. The housekeeper seemed to see what I was thinking, "The sixth grandma, the fourth grandma, and the thirteenth grandma should not have been done by people in the Zhenguo Mansion. Every grandma in the back room has personal and physical evidence of their absence. " I was noncommittal and asked, "If this is the case, then did someone die this morning?" "That's right, young master is amazing." The housekeeper was full of admiration.This guy doesn't look very good, but his flattering skills are top-notch. It seems that Cai Yuanqin also likes this kind of thing. "Early this morning, Third Grandma's maid asked her to wake up to recite the morning Buddha as usual, but she was found dead on the bed." "What about the time of death?" I asked. "To make a judgment, it should be the third watch." He answered smoothly. This town government is really not simple, it even has private work.I frowned, "Where are we going now?" "I'm going to the third grandma's yard." Wang Cheng sighed: "The third grandma is usually a very good person, and she is also polite to the servants. If anyone offends the master, she will desperately plead for mercy, and she has saved many servants. Life. Everyone in the Zhen Guo Mansion respects her very much. I really don't know who would hate such a kind person, but..." I interrupted him, "Since four people have died in Zhen Guo Mansion, and each of them is a back room, it means that he has a certain purpose." As for the purpose, everyone is tacit. Wang Cheng smiled wryly, "Master is furious, but there is no evidence to be found. Some people say that the whole mansion is unlucky, probably haunted. It has made people panic recently, and some servants even plan to leave." Haunted?I also stayed here last night, but I didn't feel any evil spirit at all. It should be caused by people.Some people, for their own selfish desires, are even scarier than ghosts! The residence of the third grandmother was a small courtyard with three rooms and a Buddhist hall. In front of the Buddhist hall is a small garden full of pure white flowers.According to the girl, she got up very early every day, then chanted sutras and prayed for the master, so as to dispel the evil spirit caused by Cai Yuanqin's many murders in his early years. Although Cai Yuanqin said that he was right, he was secretly moved and satisfied most of her requirements.In recent years, Yin Yin has the possibility of becoming the main wife. There were many people in the yard, but it was quiet.Cai Yuanqin walked straight into the room without looking at the maids and guards kneeling on the ground.Passing through the peach house is the bedroom, which he is very familiar with, although he hasn't been to this place for a long time. Third Grandma lay quietly on the bed, covered with white silk from head to toe. "Is the cause of death the same as the previous three?" He asked coldly the one who was kneeling on the ground. The clerk was sweating profusely, and his whole body was shaking with fright, "I tell the master, it's exactly the same. The cause of death of the third grandma was that she was pierced into the heart by a hard and slender object, and she died immediately." With a gloomy face, he stepped forward and pulled off the silk covering the corpse.The body of the third grandmother was exposed naked.All the servants turned their heads immediately, and I was the only one left to observe carefully. I saw that the third grandmother was only in her thirties, and her appearance should be very dignified and beautiful.As for why the uncertain word "should" was used, it was because her face was already distorted. The expression on her face was very complicated, like surprise, but also like inexplicable horror, and even hidden unknown doubts. With this expression, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the murderer was not someone she knew.There was a small hole in her heart, and the blood around her had been wiped clean. I frowned, it was strange, most people's heart is on the left side, but the wound was actually on the right side. Judging from the symptoms of the corpse, it was indeed due to a broken heart. I am afraid that the murderer is not only familiar with her, but also her close friend in the boudoir, or someone who has had a skin-to-skin relationship. Otherwise, it is impossible to know this kind of privacy. Does she have a lover?possible!Entering a wealthy family is as deep as the sea, once you enter, unless you die or get divorced, it depends on your husband's preferences.However, which rich and noble man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?When I think of you, come to stay for one night. If I have a new love, I'm afraid I won't even take a look at you until you die. No matter how loyal a woman is, under the torment of loneliness, once she breaks out, she can't stop like the Yangtze River. Putting a green hat on her husband is very common in this era of unfairness to women. A lover can also prove why she had that expression before she died. Walking out of the room, I thought for a while and asked Wang Cheng, "Did any major events happen in the Zhen Guo Mansion in the past ten days?" "Big event?" He recalled, and said: "There are really three things. The first one is that the eldest lady was rescued and she was unconscious. The second one is that people in the back room died consecutively. The last one, it should be Forget it, just ten days ago, the master redeemed Miss Zhao from Qinfang Building, married her back and made her the Seventeenth House." Anyone with a little common sense knows what Qinfang Building is. It is the most famous place for fireworks in the capital.Even I have heard of Zhao Shuya, a famous prostitute. It is said that she is most famous for her excellent piano skills, and no one has been able to compete with her so far. In addition, she has an upright personality and is famous for performing arts without selling herself. An Lushan once used her power to coerce and lure Qin Fanglou Borrow Zhao Shuya for one night. And this woman actually forced her to die, holding her throat with a dagger, so that the old fellow An Lushan sat eye-to-eye with her for a whole night. An Lushan was furious. The old guy laughed and left early the next morning, and even let out the rumor that if it wasn't Miss Zhao's will, no one should use force, otherwise, he would have trouble with An Lushan. It's hard to imagine that this strange woman would be redeemed by someone, and she was willing to be a concubine for someone. It seems that Cai Yuanqin, a male creature, is really not easy. However, this woman was married ten days ago, and the serial murders only started in these ten days.Will there be any connection between the two?Interesting, it seems things are getting more and more confusing. Under the authorization of Cai Yuanqin, I asked Wang Cheng to take me and visited the back room one by one.Finally came to Room 17, in front of Zhao Shuya's yard. Take a deep breath.I'm about to meet this strange woman who is famous all over the world, and I feel a little bit excited. Ya girl, Ya girl, let me peel off your mask at night to see what kind of secret you are hiding, and see if you have any connection with this series of murders...
