Chapter 252: Strange Poison
Vice General Xie was gagged and couldn't speak, so he could only whimper desperately while glaring at Chen Zhutou, who was hiding on the side and didn't dare to make a sound.
Chen Zhutou looked away weakly, not daring to meet his fiery eyes. This is on other people's territory, being faced by countless bright swords, what can he do? He is also helpless!
However, seeing that Vice General Xie, who was high-spirited in the past, was also so embarrassed, how could he feel an inexplicable burst of happiness in his heart!
Suddenly, he heard a muffled sound of "tearing", and Feng Wu had unceremoniously tore open Vice General Xie's shirt, revealing his naked chest.
Feng Qiren stepped forward with a smile, stretched out his finger solemnly, pointed to the bottom of Vice General Xie's left breast and said, "Master, please look, this is the position." You're just going to have to go down......"
Feeling Feng Qi's cold fingers moving on his skin, Vice General Xie got goosebumps all over his body. Thinking of the old grudge with this kid, it is hard to guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to take his life from that crazy woman.
Thinking of this, he was like a dying fish, struggling more and more violently, and Feng Wu almost couldn't suppress him.
After finally pushing out the rag in his mouth with his tongue, Vice General Xie roared: "Wait, don't rush to do it, everything can be discussed, everything can be discussed." ”
He took a quick breath and continued: "There are hundreds of elite soldiers outside, and if they don't see me out, they will break in in an hour, and it will not be good if they cause any misunderstanding at that time." ”
His tone was softer but still faintly threatening, and he was secretly fierce in his heart. As long as he can get out of trouble, he is bound to raze this mountain villa to the ground.
There are also a few dogs in the yamen who can't be saved when they see death, and they will also be destroyed together with Dancui Villa!
The strong hatred in his eyes naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Hua Lianyue and Feng Qi. The two exchanged glances quietly, since it was already a situation of endless death, then this Deputy General Xie really couldn't let it go easily.
It was as if things had suddenly reached an impasse.
At this time, there was a faint sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and it seemed that many people were hurrying towards the flower hall.
Hua Lianyue and Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, Hua Lianyue casually put down the golden hairpin, turned around and returned to the Huali chair above and sat down.
Feng Qi quietly glanced at Feng Wu. Feng Wuxin comprehended and let go, Vice General Xie, who was still struggling, and his personal companions.
Vice General Xie suddenly got out of trouble and jumped up busily. As he straightened his clothes, he said viciously to his entourage, "Let's go!" and he strode towards the door of the flower hall
"Wait!" Hua Lianyue said with a smile: "Didn't Vice General Xie just say that everything can be discussed, why is he leaving again now?"
Discuss? The corner of Vice General Xie's eyes twitched, where did he have the patience to fight a lawsuit with Hua Lianyue at the moment, and he just wanted to go out and gather people to take revenge.
He continued to stride forward without looking back, but he heard Hua Lianyue behind him suddenly call respectfully: "General!"
General: Hmph, it's useless to call your ancestors now.
Vice General Xie was secretly slandering, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, the door curtain was opened, and an extremely familiar thin figure suddenly appeared in front of him. At the foot of a pause, the stunned in his eyes was fleeting, and then he was unwilling to clasp his fists and salute: "General!"
The old general Weng, who was wearing an ordinary maroon dark satin robe, stroked his white beard and bowed his head slightly, which was regarded as a return salute.
Zhang Yuanyang, who was accompanying him, hurriedly said: "Old general, please, our mistress has been waiting for a long time." ”
Old General Weng laughed, and when he crossed the side of Vice General Xie, he suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "By the way, the emperor has repeatedly instructed that the defenders of all parties are not allowed to interfere in local affairs. This is the Xianwang Villa again, and it is not good to disturb the nobles after all. Those people outside, the old decay has already let them go back to the camp. ”
Vice General Xie stiffened, and then secretly clenched his fists. Even though he was unwilling, he still replied respectfully, "It's a subordinate who is reckless." He looked at the old general Weng who was not old, but he still didn't dare to blatantly disobey the holy will.
Hua Lianyue had already stood up, she smiled and curtled her knees at the sudden visit of the old general Weng, and said respectfully: "My niece is reckless, disturbing the old general's recuperation, please don't blame the old general! ”
Old General Weng stepped forward unceremoniously, sat down beside her, and then smiled with emotion: "After all, I am married, I remember the last time I saw you, I still had to pull my tail to play with the wind." Now he is so gentle and polite, it can be seen that he has grown up and is sensible. Brother Liu must be comforted by Lao Huai. By the way, it's still called Uncle Weng, which is pleasing to the ear. ”
Hua Lianyue heard the old general Weng mention the old things, and couldn't help but smile lightly. Said angrily: "It's all because the wind is arrogant and refuses to let my niece ride, and my niece can't be angry for a while, so she will pull its tail, and for this, she was almost kicked by it." ”
Immediately, she smiled again: "It's just that I haven't seen it for a long time, how did Uncle Weng clear it so badly, my niece almost didn't recognize it." ”
Everyone in the flower hall was stunned, whether it was Feng Qi and Feng Wu, or Vice General Xie, they didn't expect Hua Lianyue and Old General Weng to be so familiar.
Feng Qi smiled lightly, and when Hua Lianyue secretly asked him to send someone to invite General Weng with his name, although he did so, he didn't have hope at all.
After all, General Weng is an old minister who has fought the world with the previous emperor, and he has been guarding the border all the year round, and he has never interacted with the princes in the capital, because he is only loyal to the current saint.
When King Xian first arrived at Daintree Villa, he also visited him at the General's Palace. However, the old general didn't give any face, and directly said that he was sick and avoided it, so that Liu Hui took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat.
Feng Qiwan never expected that Old General Weng would come so quickly this time, and obviously had a lot to do with Hua Lianyue, which was really an unexpected surprise.
A cold glint flashed in Vice General Xie's eyes, and he realized that the farce that Hua Lianyue and the others had made before was not to scare themselves or restore any case, but to delay time and wait for General Weng to come to help.
The situation seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction, and Vice General Xie was not in a hurry to leave, he slowly paced back and found a chair to sit down.
The two of them chatted lively, and Zhang Jiao, who was carried aside by the guards of the Zhang family, also trembled her eyelashes and woke up faintly.
She stroked her forehead and sat up slowly, her moist eyes looked around in confusion, not knowing what kind of trouble this seemingly harmonious appearance was going on.
Just when she was looking around blankly, Vice General Xie finally interjected through the gap between the two of them: "General, even if you and Mrs. Yue are old acquaintances, it is a fact that she killed my niece. What's more, my niece has been waiting by the queen's side before, and she is very pleasing to her.
Later, because Niangniang felt sorry for the princess and was pregnant with Liujia, and there was no one to take care of her, she was given over. Now, she died inexplicably in Xianwang Beiyuan, I, the clan uncle, want to find out the cause of death and seek justice for her, and it can't be said that I am meddling in local affairs!"
"Niece?" Old General Weng, who was chatting with Hua Lianyue, finally moved his gaze to the oozing female corpse on the ground.
He stroked the beard on his chin and groaned for a while, and said: "Since the deceased is the niece of Vice General Xie, or the proud person by the queen's mother's side, if you ignore it, it will seem ruthless and unjust, and it will be easy for the world to criticize."
However, the people of the Yamen are experts in investigating the case, and it is good to leave your niece's case to them to investigate. If you don't feel at ease, you can sit here and listen with me. ”
After making trouble for a long time, things have come full circle and seem to be back to square one.
Everyone's eyes returned to Chen Zhutou and Master Gu, who were shrunk in the corner, almost forgotten by everyone.
In front of everyone's eyes, the faces of the two were already bitter and about to wring out juice. It's said that the gods and gods are fighting and the little ghosts are suffering, the county master, the county master, you are so sick that you are about to escape, and the little ones are about to suffer.
Hua Lianyue hurriedly handed the corpse grid in her hand to him and said, "Uncle Weng, this is the corpse grid filled in by Master Gu, you can take a look." For the rest, my niece will talk to you in detail......"
General Weng took it unceremoniously and looked at it carefully.
After half a ring, General Weng raised his eyes to look at Master Gu, and said with interest: "You also think that the deceased actually died of poisoning?"
Master Gu grimaced his old face and said cautiously: "Yes, the old general should also know that no matter how sharp a golden hairpin is, it is not a murder weapon like a sword after all." If you don't stick to the vital point, you really can't take people's lives so quickly.
The location of the deceased's injuries was also carefully examined, and although it was dangerous, it did not hit the vital point. If it is an ordinary person, it may bleed, it will hurt for a few days, but it will not die. I really can't think of any other explanation than poisoning. ”
Vice General Xie, who had been silent for a long time, snorted coldly and said, "Even if the old general is to blame, I have to say more." Have you ever seen or heard of this strange poison? I think this Master Gu must have taken the benefits of Madame Yue and exonerated her under the pretext of poisoning. ”
"Vice General Xie, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't say some things indiscriminately. Before Master Gu could cry out for injustice, Hua Lianyue spoke coldly.
She turned her head sideways to the old general Weng and said: "My niece is not untargeted, Uncle Weng, have you heard that more than 40 years ago, the self-made man who bought and sold grain on a flat pole, and turned out to be rich in the world, known as the Northeast granary, Wang Million?"
"Wang Million? I have heard of him, I had a one-sided acquaintance with him more than 20 years ago. He...... A legend of a generation. No wonder no one remembers his real name, only his nickname Wang Million is remembered by the world."
Old General Weng sighed and continued: "It's a pity that I heard that the descendants of his family have a strange disease, and none of them have lived past thirty. No one took care of the huge foundation that Wang Million broke through, and then gradually declined. ”
General Weng said it more tactfully, and there are still many sayings in the world about the decline of the Wang family.
Among them, the most widely circulated version is that Wang Million ate black at the beginning, killed the business partners who bought goods with him, and plundered other people's property, so that he would make a fortune quickly. His descendants contracted a strange disease, but it was actually God's condemnation of his family, which was retribution.
Some people also say that because the Wang family has stored too much grain, it is remembered by the current emperor. So he secretly raided his whole house and filled the treasury with all the grain. Wang Million's descendants were assassinated by the emperor's order because of their rebellion.
Of course, no matter what the version is, it is the same result, that is, all the descendants of Wang Million died young, and none of them lived past the age of thirty.
Hua Lianyue smiled coldly and said: "Uncle Weng doesn't know, the descendants of Wang Million are not condemned by heaven, nor is it retribution, let alone any strange disease, but they have been hit by the strange poison 'Qianhong Crisp' in southern Xinjiang that can melt bones and blood like the girl in Huaqiu."
"Qianhong Crisp, why does it sound like the name of a pastry, it shouldn't have been made up by Mrs. Yue!" Vice General Xie interjected coldly.
Hua Lianyue ignored his provocation, she got up a few steps and walked to the corpse, ripped open the corpse's neckline, pointed to the large patch of new and old purple marks on the corpse's skin and said, "Uncle Weng, please look, these bruises are the best proof of this poison." Because the poison is very strange, it does not kill people immediately, but slowly corrodes the blood and bones of the poisoned.
Over time, the blood of the poisoned person will become very fragile. In the later stage, it may just be pricked by an embroidery needle, and it will bleed. Some wounds that are nothing to ordinary people will kill them. ”
Many people have heard of Wang Million's legendary life. Unexpectedly, the defeat of the Northeast granary was actually because of this strange poison in southern Xinjiang.
It was the first time that everyone here had heard about it, so they began to talk about it one after another. Even the old general Weng quickly got up, walked over quickly, squatted next to Huaqiu's corpse, and examined it carefully.
Hua Lianyue stepped aside and asked the interested people to come around to check the corpse. At the same time, she was also secretly glad that if she was not the daughter of a generation of miracle doctors, she really couldn't explain things clearly.
Because in the early stage, the poisoned person will have more bruises and bruises on his body, and there is no trace of abnormality on the side. In the later stage, the bones and blood of the poisoned person's whole body will become very fragile, and if the blood is accidentally injured, the blood at the wound will be like a flood that has opened the floodgates, and it will not be able to stop. The poisoned person could only watch as the last drop of blood drained from his body.
Hua Lianyue still remembers that when she was nine years old, the legendary Wang Million took his little grandson to the Valley of Hundred Flowers after hardships, and begged Liu Yiliang for help.
According to his own rambling description, his original descendants were prosperous and had three sons, one daughter and seven grandchildren, but except for his daughter, the rest of his descendants all suffered from a strange disease. No matter how they are protected, they will always have a lot of bruises on their bodies for no reason, and if they accidentally suffer external injuries, they will bleed nonstop.
After only ten years, his children and grandchildren basically died due to various small accidents, leaving only the last five-year-old grandson.
Hua Lianyue still remembers that poor child who was tightly wrapped in cotton clothes and pants on a hot day, and although the servants hugged him, he didn't dare to move without permission.
He moved his hands and feet sluggishly, like a puppet doll being manipulated. Shrouded in the shadow of death, the child's innocent and immature eyes were only numb and indifferent.
The legendary man who once spent a lot of money without blinking, under the blows of countless white-haired people sending black-haired people, he was also physically and mentally exhausted and desperate.
Hua Liyue believed that if the puppet-like little doll had gone because of the same accident, the old man, who had been crushed by grief, would immediately follow him.
It was the first time Liu Yiliang had seen such a peculiar illness, which aroused his strong interest. He locked himself in his study for ten days and ten nights, rummaged through all the collected medical classics, and finally threw a tattered Southern Xinjiang Poison Sutra in front of Wang Million with red eyes.
It turned out that his descendants did not have any strange disease, but were infected with the strange poison 'Qianhong Crisp' in southern Xinjiang, and they died of painful blood.
It's a pity that because of the long time, Hua Lianyue can't remember the appearance of the child, but she vaguely remembers that her father mentioned that after Wang Wanwan waited for the poison on his little grandson's body to be resolved, he went back and killed all the old housekeepers who had been with him all his life.
Because the old steward followed him to buy and sell grain in his youth, and married a wife who was good at using herbs in southern Xinjiang. And Wang Million thought that his children and grandchildren all had stubborn diseases, so he didn't dare to marry his only daughter, so he recruited the son of the old housekeeper as his son-in-law.
Needless to say, it must be the old housekeeper who is jealous of the huge family business of the Wang family, and has the vicious intention of destroying people and robbing people's property.
"Qianhongshu, hum! Unless you put this strange poison in front of me, I still don't believe it. Vice General Xie still refuses to admit defeat.
"You don't believe it, I believe it!" The old general Weng, whose face was unusually solemn, slowly stood up, his cloudy eyes flashed with a strange light, staring at Vice General Xie, and he said word by word: "I not only believe it, but also take out the evidence you want." ”
As soon as the words fell, he grabbed the placket of his shirt and tore it violently, revealing his thin chest full of bruises, and he said mockingly: "I thought I had a strange disease, but I didn't expect it to be poisoned." Vice General Xie, are you satisfied with this evidence?"
