Chapter 52: The Green-Eyed Centipede
"Shallow, are you alright?" Helan Jun came in a hurry on a black horse, or because he was too fast and too fast, he gasped slightly. As soon as www.biquge.info entered the gate of the Gilded Pavilion, he came straight towards her, and stepped forward to grab Bai Qianqian's hands. Bai Qianqian stepped back, and Helan Jun realized the gaffe, so he retracted his hand.
Hearing that there was a man in black besieging the Gilded Pavilion, his heart rose to his throat and he hurriedly rode over. It's okay, she's fine!
Today was the day of the king's treasurer, and early in the morning he sent someone to the cell to fetch him. A few days ago, he barely slept a night, searched for countless witnesses, recorded countless confessions, and finally confirmed the guilt of the king's shopkeeper. Thinking about it, I can finally give her an opening gift.
Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers who went to pick up the people found that the jailer had been drugged and fainted, and the king's shopkeeper was nowhere to be found. He immediately ordered a strict search, even if he searched Liyue City, he would find out the king's shopkeeper. But someone didn't let him get his wish, and a group of unidentified black-clothed people rushed into the mansion and clashed with everyone.
Those people's martial arts are not weak, and they can even be said to far exceed the officers and soldiers in the palace, but they don't seem to intend to hurt people, and there is room for moves. After half an hour of fighting, Helan Jun found that the situation was not good, and faintly felt that he had fallen into the trap of the other party.
At this moment, some ordinary people stumbled to the government to report that someone was besieging the gilded pavilion. He led the officers and soldiers to resist with all their might, but those men in black had no desire to go on, and ran away under the order of the leader.
"Ahem-ahemββ, that, Lord Helan, our little cousin is fine, don't worry about it." Tang Ruyu seemed to lean forward unintentionally and separated Helan Jun from Bai Qianqian. She already has such a handsome cousin-in-law, she doesn't need another one.
"Lord Helan, the daughter-in-law of my palace family, I will take care of it." Gong Qi stepped forward quickly, blocking Bai Qianqian behind him.
Gong Qi was much taller than Bai Qianqian, and when he blocked him like this, Helan Jun couldn't even see Bai Qianqian's face. He glared at Gong Qi, "Gong Gongzi, I have something to say to ββ, and Miss Bai, I hope you can let go." Otherwise, you are obstructing official business. β
"What my daughter-in-law knows, I know, you ask me directly." Gong Qi didn't back down at all. Helan Jun wants to hook up with his daughter-in-law, dreaming!
At this time, many people gathered around the gate of the gilded pavilion.
"Lord Helan, you have to be the master of our people, those people in black are too rampant and have cut many neighbors."
"Yes, Lord Helan, my wife is so frightened that she shudges in the corner and trembles."
"My father-in-law is injured, and blood is flowing from his hands, if he has any longs and weaknesses, how can I live with the child."
β¦β¦
Boss Hu, an old birthday star over ninety years old, rushed to him tremblingly, and was about to kneel down towards Helanjun, Helanjun took a step forward and helped him up, "Old man, don't kneel, if you have something to say." β
"My lord, I have lived a lifetime, and I have never seen such a thug, my lord must eradicate this evil force and give us a quiet place away from the people of Moon City." Boss Hu was loyal and righteous, was kind and charitable when he was young, and had a high prestige in the city.
Helan Jun immediately said, "Don't worry, Helan will definitely arrest those people and punish them according to law." β
The crowd watched for a while, and then left in twos and threes.
"Someone, quickly take down the king's treasurer." Helan Jun commanded.
"Yes, sir." Li Zhutou came to the door with two officers and soldiers, and after a careful investigation, he took down the body of the king's shopkeeper.
"My lord, the king's shopkeeper was stabbed in the throat and died of blood." Li Zhutou took off the white gloves in his hand and reported the inspection situation truthfully, "His subordinates also found that he had dozens of small wounds on his body, such asββ"
He paused, then continued, "It's like being wounded by a poisonous snake. β
"Vipers?" Helan Jun came to the corpse of the shopkeeper Wang and inspected it in person, as Li Zhutou said, there were many small red holes on the shopkeeper Wang's body, and the small holes were abnormally swollen and black, which was a sign of poisoning. Could it be that there are really poisonous snakes in the cell?
But apart from the king's treasurer, there was not a single person left in the cell today, and no one was injured by a poisonous snake.
"Let me see!" Tang Ruyu stepped forward, lifted the sleeve of the shopkeeper Wang, and stared at those small holes for a few minutes. Then, he took out a thin silver needle and inserted it into the small hole, only to see that the skin that had long since lost its vitality suddenly squirmed, and then a thin and long cyan worm crawled out along the small hole. The insect had countless legs, like a centipede, but it was not a common centipede.
"What is this?" Li Zhutou stepped forward, trying to see the appearance of the long worm, but the long worm suddenly sprayed green poisonous juice at him.
"Be careful!" In Helan Jun's stunned eyes, Bai Qianqian lifted Li Zhutou away.
The green poisonous juice did not spray on Li Zhutou's face, but spilled on the ground. "Shh
"Thank you!" Li Zhutou sat on the ground, staring at the dark ground, stunned. If it weren't for Bai Qianqian's timely action and pulling him away, he would only be afraid of more evil and less luck today.
"Little cousin, Lord Helan, the king's shopkeeper was poisoned in his body, and just when he was about to die of poison, someone cut his throat and hung him on the door of the gilded pavilion." Tang Ruyu analyzed, "To be exact, Shopkeeper Wang can't be regarded as poisoned, but poisoned by someone." β
"This long insect is called the green-eyed centipede, and it is the most venomous species of centipedes. When it is still an insect egg, it is implanted in the human body, and the person who cultivates the Gu can control the person in the Gu at any time, once it is urged, he is delirious and at the mercy of others, and the person who planted the Gu will let him live and die. β
"This kind of poisonous Gu was extremely prevalent in the Nanzhao Kingdom hundreds of years ago, and then suddenly disappeared. According to the older generation, the reason why this kind of Gu technique was lost was not because of the regression of the Gu technique of the Nanzhao Kingdom, but because the green-eyed centipede had suffered a heavenly catastrophe, and all of them were wiped out, and there was no mother Gu again. Unexpectedly, someone found a green-eyed centipede! β
"Nanzhao?" The shopkeeper Wang is a member of the Ge family, they are all authentic people from Liyue City, when did they have a relationship with Nanzhao? When did those people plant the green-eyed centipede in the king's treasurer's body? What's the purpose behind this?
The poison of Nanzhao Kingdom appeared in Liyue City, this matter is not trivial, Helan Jun immediately ordered someone to seal the body of the king's shopkeeper and the green-eyed centipede in his body, "Today's matter is very important, no one is allowed to make a noise, if there is even the slightest rumor, it will not be spared." β
All the officers and soldiers immediately responded, "Yes." β
"Miss Bai, Helan will first take the corpse of the shopkeeper Wang back to the yamen, track down the matter of Zhang Lao, and hand it over to Li Zhutou to deal with." Helan Jun's words were earnest. If it weren't for the green-eyed centipede, he would definitely not leave the white and shallow things behind.
