Chapter 084: Magic Weapon
I saw that these people seemed to be already familiar with it, and they knew the structure of this Xianwang Mansion very well, and they didn't need someone to lead them to know the way.
Tang Weigui followed them on the roof and walked towards the huge palace, so that Landor and they became Tang Weigui's guides.
In this way, I came to the backyard of the palace, and the environment suddenly became very quiet, and there were not so many guards patrolling.
Tang Weigui saw that there was already a person waiting in the courtyard, and the figure was very familiar, and then after the moonlight barely saw the appearance of that person, Tang Weigui was still a little surprised.
Waiting for them in the courtyard was none other than Zhu Dan, the son of the virtuous king Zhu Jinhe.
Tang Weigui didn't recognize the wrong person, it was indeed Zhu Dan, and his face that was swollen by the snow between the flowers was still swollen!
When Zhu Dan saw them coming, he immediately said, "You guys are too late, do you know how long I've been waiting." ”
Landor snorted: "Little Marquis, I naturally have to be careful, if someone finds out that I entered the Xianwang Mansion late at night, it will be bad for both you and the Xianwang." ”
"Alright, my father asked me to ask you, how are you getting ready?"
"It's been ready for a long time. ”
Landor took a small money bag-like thing from his hand and handed it to Zhu Dan's hand.
Zhu Dan lightly weighed his weight, and his eyes were full of suspicion: "Is it okay to do this?"
"Little Hou Ye rest assured, this is the secret recipe of our Northern Zhou, even if there are very few people who know it in our Northern Zhou, as long as it is secret, it is absolutely unaware. ”
"Very well, it's none of your business now. Then you will only have to do what your father has laid out for you. ”
"Little Marquis, why haven't you seen His Royal Highness King Xian recently?"
"Father naturally has more important things to do, there are a lot of things here, he must not do everything, otherwise what else do we want to do?"
Landor smiled and said, "What the little marquis said is, I just want to confirm that after the matter is completed, can the conditions promised by King Xian to us in the Northern Zhou Dynasty be realized?"
"Landor, are you suspicious of your father?"
"How can it, little marquis, I'm just afraid that King Xian will forget, so remind me. ”
"I don't need your reminder. Don't worry, my father said that after the completion of the great work, the benefits of your Northern Zhou are indispensable. I'll give you the whole night of Don. ”
Hearing this, Tang Weigui's whole body was shocked, what earth-shattering secret transactions were these people doing, and the content of the transaction was actually the entire Ye Tang.
"In that case, we won't bother at such a late hour, and I wish King Xian success. Little Marquis, take your leave. ”
Looking at the backs of these Northern Zhou people leaving, Zhu Dan showed a mocking smile: "The Beiyi barbarians will never be a big deal." ”
It seems that the alliance between Zhu Dan and Northern Zhou is not indestructible, it is just a collusion of interests.
Zhu Dan was the only one in the courtyard of this matter, and there were no guards around, if he started to lower Zhu Dan at this time, no one would notice it at all.
Tang Weigui's mind had just risen to this idea, and when he was about to act, he found that a figure suddenly descended from the roof opposite, also dressed as a man in black, and his face could not be seen clearly.
It seems that he is not the only one who is eyeing Zhu Dan. I don't know who is sacred.
Seeing someone suddenly appear, Zhu Dan was also startled: "Who are you? ”
The man in black didn't say a word, and a smooth phantom came to Zhu Dan and hammered Zhu Dan's stomach with a fist. Zhu Dan's pampered body since childhood, how could he withstand such an attack, and he was directly on the spot
"In recent days, people from Jishitang have come to buy medicines, and they are all specially controlled drugs that are strictly controlled and circulated on the market. Although the people who come to buy medicine every day are different, and the drugs they sell are not the same type, they all use the same batch of silver tickets, which means that these people are the same group of people. ”
"Isn't someone trying to raise the price of medicine, your competitors in the industry did it?"
"This shouldn't be likely. The range of medicinal properties of these drugs is very narrow and can only be used for some special diseases. And because it has more or less side effects, plus it is a special control drug, its own purchase channels are also very troublesome, and only our Jishitang can provide the entire Jinling City. Therefore, there are not many people who usually buy them, and the demand is not large, and it is impossible for anyone to bid up their prices. ”
"And what are they doing it for?"
"It's actually a very fortuitous coincidence. When I traveled to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I saw a very strong poison called Breaking Poison. The speed of the onset and the effect of this poison were unusually rapid. The poisoned person will bleed to death within a few minutes, and there is no cure. Ranked fifth in the world's highly toxic rankings, basically hit this poison, even if Da Luo Jinxian is unable to return to the sky. ”
"Then what does this poison have to do with you going to King Xian's Mansion to arrest Zhu Dan?"
"The ingredients of this desperate poison are these special medicinal materials, and the yield rate is extremely low, it is very rare, and not many people know about it. ”
"Brother Departure means that someone is secretly refining the Deadly Poison. ”
"That's right, someone has gone to great lengths to refine such a poison, and I can't just sit idly by. So I followed the people who came to our store today to buy special controlled medicines, and finally I found that although they all took different detours, they actually all converged on one point in the end, that is, the envoy inn in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. ”
Tang Weigui was shocked, and he was still wondering why the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty suddenly caught up with Zhu Dan. Now it seems that it is not suddenly hooked up, but it has long been hooked up.
"What did the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty do when refining Breaking Poison?"
"That's what I'm tracking them for, who would have thought that I would be in the Xianwang Mansion. ”
As he spoke, Hua Jianli searched the clothes on Zhu Dan's body and found the small money bag that Landor had given him before.
When I opened the money bag, I saw that there was a bag of black powder inside. Hanama put her nose up and sniffed it, and there was a not-so-strong stench, like rotten eggs.
"That's right, that's the taste. This is Breaking Bad. ”
"The envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty bought the raw materials of the Desperate Poison from Jishitang, refined them into the Desperate Poison and handed them over to Zhu Dan, what are they going to do?"
"I don't have diplomatic relations with any other country, why did I send an envoy from thousands of miles away this time?"
"It is said that it is to congratulate Emperor Zhu Jinyu of the Southern Ming Dynasty on his birthday, establish friendly relations between the two countries, and so on...... I seem to know what they're up to. ”
"What is it?"
"I now have an extremely bold guess, if Zhu Jinsi has colluded with the Northern Zhou, they want to use this desperate poison to poison and kill Zhu Jinsi by giving him a birthday celebration, so that the throne will not be empty. ”
Hua Jianli is also an extremely smart person, and as soon as Tang Weigui said this, he figured out the cause and effect of the matter by himself.
"But according to you, there is one place that doesn't work. If Zhu Jinyu, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, died violently like this, and Zhu Jinyu did not make an edict in advance, then according to the etiquette system, the successor to the throne should be the crown prince Zhu Huan instead of the virtuous king Zhu Jinhei. Moreover, at the birthday banquet, in full view of everyone, neither King Xian nor the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could escape the suspicion of this murderer. He didn't do this to make trouble for himself, but to cheapen Zhu Huan. ”
