Chapter 127: Peeling Back the Thread
Li Shijin hurriedly said: "In this way, it must have slipped in from outside?" ”
Lin Hui shook her head slightly: "It depends on what is called "outside". As I said earlier, snakes like to be warm, and now that the weather is cold, it is very unpleasant for snakes to come out to move in such a season. Therefore, this place where the snake is released cannot be too far away, otherwise before the snake crawls to the side of the four princes, it will already freeze or deviate and crawl to other gentle villages. ”
This one...... Displeasing to the snake...... Also gentle and ...... The corners of Li Shijin's mouth twitched, what a troublesome snake. If it weren't for Ruan Qingcai's big loss just now, Li Shijin couldn't help but suspect that Doctor Xiaolin was an expert in raising snakes.
"Moreover, it is necessary to have a specific person bite a snake in a designated place. There must be something in this place or in this person that attracts snakes! Lin Hui continued: "The farther away you are, the stronger the snake's breath needs to be, and the easier it is to be detected. Therefore, the place where the snake is released should not be in the house of the Four Princes, but it is not far away, and it is likely to be in this courtyard. ”
This truth is not difficult to understand, and everyone here can understand it. Some people may have had similar views before.
Snakes are not human, they have no spirituality to speak of, and they basically act on instinct. Even if you are mature, you can't manipulate it freely.
Li Shijin frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly came to his senses: "So there have to be two people, one is to put snakes outside, and the other is to leave something to attract snakes." In other words, even if it is a person, this person has the opportunity to enter and leave something to attract snakes, and then release snakes in places that are not easy to attract attention outside. ”
As Lin Hui said. If the snake is brought in, there is a lot of inconvenience, and there are many people serving in the house, even at night, there are imperial doctors and maids who keep vigil, so either two people cooperate inside and outside, or one person operates one person in succession.
"There is another possibility," Lin Hui smiled: "Maybe this person knows the situation around the fourth master, and directly uses the things around the fourth master as a snake lure." Then there is no need for internal response. ”
This statement is the most concise and the easiest to implement. It's just that the scope of suspicious people has expanded: it is no longer limited to those who can get close to the four princes.
For a while, everyone was wondering who would know the arrangements around the four princes. And what can be used as a snake guide?
"Dragon Birthday Incense!" A maid standing behind the four princes suddenly covered her mouth and shouted.
The fourth prince turned his head to look. Wen Sheng asked, "Xiaoxiao, you mean, the snake was attracted by the dragon's birthday incense?" ”
It seems that the maid's name is Xiaoxiao. The four princes seem to be quite tolerant and trusting of the people around them. I only saw such a big thing, and the people around the four princes were still on errands and had not been arrested and tortured.
Miss Xiaoxiao doesn't make people feel very beautiful at first glance. But the victory lies in the sparse facial features. The two eyebrows are black. It is very open, and the forehead is smooth and full, and it looks very refreshing.
"Hmm!" Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously: "The incense in our house has always been placed under the feet of the fourth master. This dragon birthday incense can't be used anywhere else. Isn't that just right? ”
Dragon incense is extremely scarce and can only be used by the royal family. Moreover, the dragon birthday incense has the effect of benefiting the blood, so it is used more these days.
Of course, incense can't be placed on the top of the head of the four princes, because the smell is too strong, so it is placed under the bed with the ankles facing each other.
A furnace of dragon incense, smothered and slowly burned, can be used for almost a night.
It is indeed a very suitable introduction.
In this way, the snake keeper does not need to enter the inner room at all, as long as he trains the snake to love the dragon incense on weekdays, and then releases the snake out.
The incense burner is under the feet of the four princes, and the positioning is very accurate. After arriving, he got into the bed of the fourth prince to warm up, and gave him another mouthful.
"Why did this snake bite the fourth master?" It was Lin Hui's turn to ask questions.
Who else will you bite if you don't bite the fourth master? What's there to ask about this?
"Why did this snake bite the fourth master?" Lin Hui asked the question again, deliberately accentuating the tone of the three words "why".
What why? There are so many reasons to murder a prince that no one will ask about this.
The water is deep here, the father, son and brother love and hate the family and the country, who knows what will be involved. It takes a politically minded person to know how to deal with it and to what extent.
Why did Doctor Kobayashi ask this, and asked it twice? Did you suddenly become stupid? Or are you too young to know the depths?
Lin Hui didn't think about it so much, what she wanted to say was actually another aspect, so she directly asked herself and answered this question: "If you want to murder the fourth master, you don't need to be so tortuous, as long as you keep the venom of the snake, you can probably achieve your goal by now." ”
The eyes of the fourth prince immediately widened a lot.
Ever since narrowly escaped death, the Four Princes have been thinking about what happened on their way south.
The arranged fake assassination turned into a real assassination, and it must have been revealed by a traitor inside, so that it would be taken advantage of.
Once unsuccessful, try again.
This is a logical thing, so the four princes and Zheng Qiu and others all regard this incident as a continuation of the previous one. I think it's the people behind it who started it again.
Last time, it was an open killing, and this time it was a covert harm.
was asked by Lin Hui like this, and a question came out: Since he has already killed him openly, why assassinate him this time? Keep the venom of the poisonous snake and poison the four princes directly.
A big detour, in addition to attracting this snake to love the dragon incense, it is also necessary to pull out the venom glands, and then feed them with specific drugs, which can eventually cause the four princes to faint.
As it turned out, this trick was quite unreliable, because he was rescued.
If it is really a highly poisonous snake, the four princes are seriously injured and weak, plus the snake venom, not to mention the Xiaolin Divine Doctor, even if his master Jiuxuan Zhenren arrives, I am afraid there is no way.
Li Shijin hesitated and said, "Xu is to cover up the release of snakes." According to today's practice, if the fourth master unfortunately dies, he will probably only think that it is caused by his anger and attack, and he may not suspect anything else. ”
Lin Hui shook her head: "Even if you can't find it at that time, it's ...... You'll find out later. ”
Li Shijin himself felt that it was unreasonable, and it was not good for Doctor Xiaolin to say it too directly, but the meaning was still clear. When a person dies, he must be cleansed and buried. I didn't find the bite before I died, but I always saw it after I died.
The fourth prince is a prince, almost second only to the emperor and the crown prince, not to mention the two snake bite teeth marks on his body, even if it is bitten by mosquitoes and fleas, it has to be investigated.
Is Jin Zun Yugui just talking?!
Eunuch Zheng Qiu Zheng couldn't take care of his low profile at this time, took a few steps forward, and asked, "What does Mr. Lin mean, isn't this person really trying to harm the fourth master?" (To be continued......)
