Chapter 664: A Piece of the Past
Wang Jingtian and Liu Xuan's house had not yet been repaired, and they encountered a rainstorm, so the two still lived in Jiangfu. In addition, the medical clinic opened by the two has not officially opened. The disciples were all sent to the disaster relief.
Wang Jingtian and Liu Xuan live in a small courtyard in Yangfu, where flowers and trees are sparse and various medicinal materials are dried. Before entering the small courtyard, I smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
"This is the best time of the year. Earlier, the dendrobium that the King of Shu got back was really a good thing. Liu Xuan was saying.
After a while, Wang Jingtian spoke, but he was not talking about Dendrobium. Instead, he said, "Senior brother, since that poison appeared in the sixth room of the Yang Mansion, I have been wondering who is studying these poisons. Why do you want to harm your junior brother, why do you want to harm Yang Hong, and why do you want to harm Nine Girls. Master and Hongnong Yang don't know each other. β
"yes. I don't know what to do. Liu Xuan also sighed.
"Now, I'm even more worried that the Nine Girls only let me identify the poison, and never let me meddle in this matter again. Senior brother, do you say, does the ninth girl distrust me anymore?" Wang Jingtian said worriedly.
"I didn't mean that when I looked at the Nine Girls. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Nine Girls to bring you to Chang'an from Shuzhong, and let our brothers enter the Gewu Academy to study medicine. Liu Xuan was relieved.
Wang Jingtian sighed, and Liu Xuan asked again: "Senior brother, after so many years, don't you have any clue about the poisoning of your junior brother? β
"This poisoning method is very peculiar. Back then, I asked Master, but Master was silent. However, I had one person in mind. Wang Jingtian said slowly, speaking of this, he paused, Liu Xuan couldn't hold it back, and asked who it was.
"Senior brother, you started late, and I don't know about the master. Our ancestor had three apprentices. The master is the eldest apprentice of the master and is an orphan, so he follows the surname of the master and ancestor Shen. Shizu's second apprentice was also an orphan, named Yin Zijing, and the third apprentice was called Chonglou. Of the three disciples accepted by the ancestor, the master has the worst qualifications, but he is the most dedicated. Uncle Chonglou has the best qualifications, but he likes to study poisons the most, and he is influenced by his grandfather and younger brothers, and thinks that the principle of poison cures diseases, and is reprimanded by his grandfather. Later, the ancestor disappeared, and the master became a family of his own, hanging the pot to help the world. Wang Jingtian said.
Liu Xuan was surprised when he heard this, so he asked, "What about the second uncle?"
"Second uncle, Uncle Bauhinia is our sister. β
"Ah, isn't Shi Niang's name Yun Niang?" Liu Xuan was shocked.
"Yun Niang is Uncle Bauhinia's name before he entered the mountain. Yin Bauhinia is the name given to his uncle by his grandfather. Wang Jingtian explained.
Liu Xuan suddenly realized, and then asked, "Then when the senior brother said this, is the senior brother suspicious of something?"
"Uncle Chonglou and the senior sister who loves him, that is, the senior sister. Back then, the master and the uncle got married, and the uncle of Chonglou had a big wedding. At that time, I had just entered the industry, worshipping under the master, who was named Sedum, and I saw Uncle Chonglou come to make trouble. At that time, the poison was released, and the wedding guests were stunned by the poison. Thanks to the master's and mother's efforts, there was no damage in the end. After Wang Jingtian finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Senior brother, do you suspect that the person who poisoned this person is Uncle Chonglou?" asked Liu Xuan.
"In his life, he likes to study the poison that his master can't solve, and ponders all kinds of strange poisoning methods. Wang Jingtian continued.
Liu Xuan sighed and said, "In this way, in fact, this uncle is a talent, but it's a pity." β
"Hmm. Wang Jingtian stopped talking.
Jiang Chengzi listened to the courtyard, and the brothers stopped talking, so he slowly stepped forward and knocked the knocker. After that, they went into the courtyard to visit the two.
Wang Jingtian was very surprised and asked, "Nine girls, but the poison investigation has progressed?"
"I'm here today, just to ask you what progress you have made here. After all, the first person to be mutilated by this method was your Master's son. Perhaps, if you think about it, what clues can you come up with, it will also help me to investigate this matter. Jiang Chengzi got straight to the point.
Liu Xuan and Wang Jingtian glanced at each other. Wang Jingtian said directly: "Don't hide it from the ninth girl, I have thought of some eyebrows, so I will talk to the ninth girl." β
After that, Wang Jingtian said what he had just said to Liu Xuan. After Jiang Chengzi heard this, he asked: "Mr. Wang's master's surname is Yin, and the master follows your grandfather's surname Shen, what is your uncle's surname?"
Wang Jingtian was stunned, shook his head, and said, "When the ninth girl asked this, I was puzzled. Because I've never heard anyone say what his last name is. I only heard Master say that Uncle Chonglou has read a lot of books, and his kung fu is not weak, it seems that he is not an ordinary child, and he is smart and sensitive, but he is not a doctor who is benevolent. It's a pity. β
Jiang Chengzi didn't comment on his master and uncles, but just continued to ask: "Your grandfather, how did your uncle and uncle die?
"My uncle is said to have been killed, as for whom. My master said that my uncle had studied poisons for many years, and because he was greedy for money, he had a lot of hooks with those pickled wealthy families, so it was not surprising that he died in such a way. My grandfather died suddenly in his sleep and returned to the west. My master died in childbirth, and it was only since my mother that my master specialized in women's diseases and childbirth. As for my masterβ" Wang Jingtian said this, tears glistening and choking up.
Liu Xuan sighed, also with tears in his eyes, and said, "Nine girls, our master committed suicide by hanging the beam after researching the detoxification acupuncture method a few years after the little junior brother went. β
This is a very sad thing, Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes and was silent for a while before concluding: "Then, your uncle is still alive." Right?"
"Yes. Wang Jingtian's voice was louder at this time, "Although my master didn't say it, I know that he also suspects that my uncle did it." β
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I'll get to the bottom of it. Jiang Chengzi assured.
"It's old and decayed, thank you Ninth Girl. Wang Jingtian arched his hand.
"Mr. Wang doesn't need to be polite, I came here today, in addition to asking if you have any clues, there is one more thing to ask. Jiang Chengzi explained the intention of this time.
"I don't know what's going on?" Wang Jingtian looked at the girl's serious expression, and suddenly felt that the matter was very important.
"If there are more pots in the tomb, will the toxicity increase?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"It will increase the time that promotes the poison attack. Wang Jingtian replied.
"Then if it increases the onset of toxicity, does Mr. Wang have the ability to detoxify, will the detoxification method change?" Jiang Chengzi asked again.
"As long as it's the same poisoning method, it can be solved. This is not a poison that seals the throat with blood. Wang Jingtian replied.
"In that case, the gentleman is ready to prepare. It is estimated that in a few days, it will be used. Jiang Chengzi said bluntly.
Wang Jingtian and Liu Xuan looked at each other. After Jiang Chengzi said this, he left directly. When I got out of the door of the small courtyard, Zhang's mother ran over panting and said, "Girl, girl, something really happened." β
