Chapter 12: The Poison Doctor Boy
On the afternoon of the second day, Heng descended from the mountain with Na Xu, came to the town again, knocked on the door of the mayor's house as usual, and handed him the handled bearing shaft, after chatting, Heng Yi was about to get up and say goodbye, and suddenly a person broke in outside the door, but heard the man shout: "Town... Mayor! Something happened! The 'poisonous son' in Xiangguo's Mansion is making trouble again! "What?" The mayor stood up in shock when he heard this, "Take me quickly!" "Mayor Mare, is there anything I can help with?" I'll go with me. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Heng said on the side. "Don't go, you can't afford to mess with this trouble!" The mayor hurriedly waved his hand. However, Heng smiled when he heard this: "Mayor Town, don't you know me?" I'm a man... I've always been the least afraid of trouble. The mayor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stood still, with a look of approval in his eyes: "You can't hide from the Mu family's 'trouble', but you don't care much about the real trouble in front of you, good boy... What a boy! Then let me do it! β
Heng followed the mayor and the messenger to a pharmacy, where there was already a circle of people. Liu Shunheng, the owner of this pharmacy, also knows that he often comes to his pharmacy to sell medicines, and the two also have some friendship. When Liu Shun saw the two of them, he hurriedly stepped forward excitedly: "Mayor Town, ah... Little brother, you're here too, come and judge me! As he spoke, Liu Shun pointed his finger in front of the pharmacy - a tall young man was standing there with a proud face, looking arrogant, and the most eye-catching thing was his white hair like frost and snow, which was very conspicuous and very strange in the daytime.
Heng also noticed the young man's strange hair color, and said hesitantly in the mayor's ear: "Mayor Town, isn't this young man a person of different races?" "Previously, Heng heard that he was the 'poisonous son' of Xiangguo Mansion, could it be that Xiangguo of the Lameng Empire is a foreigner? But he heard the mayor explain: "This child was adopted by Lord Xiangguo in Northern Xinjiang, not his own birth." Heng thought in his heart: "Northern Xinjiang? That is, the Arctic continent, so this guy is a Yi tribe? It is said that this Yi people are not only good at poisoning, but also born with a different body, can resist a hundred poisons, this guy is known as the 'poisonous son', should be good at this. β
"This kid is proficient in the way of medicine and poison, since he came here, he has been doing evil all day long with a body of poison, bullying the people everywhere, making trouble here, everyone hates him in their hearts, and calls him 'poisonous son' in private. But because of his father's power, everyone didn't dare to confront him, and he avoided it from a distance when he saw him on weekdays. The mayor's tone contained a bit of helplessness. Heng Yi was a little strange: "How did the adopted son of this Xiangguo Mansion come to a small place like ours that is cold and frozen?" β
The mayor sighed lightly: "It's not just him, the eldest prince of Xiangguofu is also here, and they even built Sobeppu in the city, that is, in the last few months." The mayor turned to Heng and said, "Don't worry about these things in advance, take care of the matter in front of you first." β
Over there, Liu Shun was already arguing with the young man with tears in his eyes: "Cao Si! Do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes?! Hurry up and take out the antidote, or if it hurts the life of the apprentice, I want you to kill to pay for it!" The young man named Cao Si said in a light tone: "Which eye of your eyes saw that it was me who poisoned it, it was obvious that he didn't get home by himself, and he made a mistake with the silver needle, not only poisoned himself, but even the master I was implicated." Saying that, Cao Si raised his black right hand and put it in front of everyone, which was indeed a trace of poisoning.
Cao Si paused and said: "Now the master has pity on him, as long as you take out five hundred thorn gold coins to compensate for my loss, I will not blame the past, and rescue him, no matter how you think about it, it's very cost-effective, I didn't go to the government to sue you for indiscriminate poison injections." Hearing this, the people around me understood that this was a blatant slander! - Even if it is a wealthy family, the annual expenditure is only ten thorn gold coins, and five hundred coins is an astronomical amount, even if Liu Shun loses the entire pharmacy, he may not be able to get it! This Cao Si has always been extremely cunning, and this incident must have been a good thing he did, just to make money.
"Phew! Your surname is Cao, black and white! Obviously, you poisoned my apprentice, and you dare to bite back! Liu Shun's eyes were red. Seeing this, Heng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Liu, what's going on?" When Liu Shun heard this, he wiped his tears: "Little brother doesn't know, alas... I also blame my little apprentice for being young and vigorous, ignorant of people's hearts and sinisters, and getting into trouble when I was not at home when I went into the city to buy medicinal herbs, which was also told to me later by the guy in the shop. As he spoke, Liu Shun glanced at the thin young man lying in the middle of the lobby with his dying breath inside the doorβbut saw that his face was black and his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and he was already dying.
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................. ...........................................
The time goes back a little bit to earlier, early in the morning.
The young apprentice of the pharmacy solicited business at the door, the apprentice had just arrived in this town, and the owner of the pharmacy, Liu Shun, was not only a businessman, but also an excellent doctor. Liu Shun saw that the young man was talented and intelligent, and he liked it very much, so he taught him a medical skill, and the young man was grateful, and he worked harder in the pharmacy on weekdays. Early in the morning, he greeted customers warmly at the door.
A young man in gorgeous clothes walked in front of him, looking up and down at the pharmacy, and the young man immediately stepped forward when he saw this: "What does the guest officer need, our medicinal materials here are the most complete in the town, the guest officer might as well come in and have a look." "Okay." The young man in Chinese clothes said lazily and stepped into the door. The young apprentice didn't know that the young man in front of him was the 'poisonous boy' Cao Si in people's mouths on weekdays, just because he had just arrived and didn't know it.
"Do you have any special services here?" Cao Si opened the folding fan and looked at the busy guys in front of him expressionlessly, and said to the apprentice behind him. "Ahh Some have, the owner only opened a silver needle diagnosis last month, which can regulate qi and blood, and now it is a free experience period, do you want to try it? The apprentice hurriedly replied. Oh, silver needle acupuncture? It's kind of interesting, so let's try it. Cao Si said. When the junior apprentice heard him say this, his heart was happy, but he didn't see a strange smile on the corner of Cao Si's mouth.
"Ah Fu, get the silver needle!" The junior shouted at the guy on the side. The guy named Ah Fu looked at Cao Si behind him with a look of wanting to speak and stop - there was no other reason, Cao Si knew it. Ah Fu was about to say something to remind the junior apprentice, but he saw Cao Si behind him looking at him with a smile, with a look of ill intentions, which made people panic, Ah Fu didn't say anything after all, just turned around and took the silver needle to the junior apprentice.
The apprentice took the silver needle and turned around, but saw that Cao Si was already sitting on a chair waiting for him. The apprentice explained to Cao Si while burning the silver needle on the fire: "This is a silver needle that has been soaked in the liquid medicine for three days in advance, and now it is burned with fire, one is to disinfect, and the other is to use high temperature to completely stimulate the medicinal properties, which has a miraculous effect in regulating qi and blood." "So that's the case, there's a little master Lao." Cao Si said with a smile.
After the silver needle was ready, the junior apprentice asked Cao Si to stretch out his right hand and prick it at his wrist, but then he heard Cao Si say, "Slow." As he spoke, Cao Si had already grasped the arm of the junior apprentice. What's wrong? The apprentice was a little unsure of Cao Si's sudden move. But seeing Cao Si carefully looking at the silver needle in his hand, he seemed to be a little scared and said, "This silver needle is so thick, doesn't it hurt to pierce it?" "No, no, there have been customers who have such concerns before, but those who have done it know that it is very comfortable to tie up, and the guest officer will know it if he tries it."
"Really?" Cao Si seemed to relax a little and slowly let go of his hand, but at the moment when the palm of his hand left the apprentice's arm, in the invisible sight of the apprentice, a faint imperceptible black gas burst out from Cao Si's fingers, and went up the apprentice's arm like a snake, burrowing into the silver needle.
The junior apprentice didn't notice it at all, and slowly pricked the silver needle into the skin on Cao Si's wrist, but before he could fully pierce it, he heard Cao Si exclaim in shock: "You needle... Poison on the needle! Cao Si clutched his wrists as he pointed at the junior apprentice and shouted. The junior apprentice hurriedly looked at Cao Si's wrist in a panic, but saw a dark color spreading from it, and it was indeed a sign of poisoning! The young apprentice looked at this and became more and more panicked and overwhelmed: "This... How so? β
"You... How dare you poison people! Cao Si pointed at the junior apprentice and gritted his teeth and said hatefully. I... I don't, the needle is not poisonous, I handled it with my own hands, I only soaked it in the liquid medicine, how can it be poisonous?! The apprentice argued loudly. So how do you explain this! Cao Si pointed to his arm and said angrily. I... I don't know, but the needle just isn't poisonous! If you don't believe me, I... I'll show you! As he spoke, the apprentice picked up the silver needle in his hand and immediately stabbed it into his arm! However, in the next moment, I heard the young apprentice scream loudly, and he fell to the ground at once......
