Jian Ning immediately took two steps back sharply, keeping a safe distance. After settling down, he said to Long Zening: "Lord, when it comes to power struggle, maybe I will never be able to compare to you, but I'm not stupid." Yesterday it seemed that you were at our mercy, but if you really want to resist, we can't."

"So Jian Ning is sure that my entry into the palace this time is also what the prince wants, isn't it?"

"Bang Bang!" With a burst of loud applause, Long Zening laughed and said, "Miss Jian is really delicate and extremely smart!" So why not guess the purpose of this king? ”

Jian Ning smiled at Long Zening and said, "Why should I guess the purpose of the prince, no matter what the purpose of the prince is, I only care about my purpose." The prince helped me enter the palace, and I also won the pastry chef of Lingsui by the way, although the result was not as I thought"

There is no need to continue talking about this, Jian Ning smiled and bent down slightly, which can be regarded as a salute to Long Zening. Then he bypassed Long Zening and walked towards Ruan Zijin and them at the gate of the palace.

Long Zening stood in place and suddenly smiled, she was really a smart woman

On the way back, Jian Ning would always unconsciously sound what happened in Xiangwang's Mansion last night.

Last night, in order to enter the palace smoothly, Jian Ning, under Jiu'er's plan, made a dangerous move and hit Long Zening's head with the idea.

Almost everyone in Yuan Chu knows that there are only a handful of people who can say in front of the emperor. And among the people Jian Ning knows, the only one who can have a chance to let her do it is King Xiang.

So yesterday night, with the help of Jiu'er and Zijin. Jian Ning sneaked into the Xiangwang Mansion smoothly. Reuse the rough map of the Xiangwang Mansion that was hard to get some time ago. Jian Ning found Long Zening's yard smoothly.

Jian Ning's original plan was to infiltrate Long Zening's house. Put some poison in the kettle first. After being poisoned by Long Ze Ningshun, he offered an antidote in exchange for a condition.

But there is a world of difference between the plan and the reality, and until the poisoning, it is very smooth. But what Jian Ning never expected was that the first thing Long Zening did when he returned to the room was to take a bath. What's even more unfortunate is that the place where Jian Ning is hiding is so coincidentally facing the direction of the barrel.

So just like that, Jian Ning enjoyed a beautiful man's bathing scene for free. Jian Ning was half-covered and half-fancied, and finally waited for Long Zening to finish taking a bath. But even more unfortunately, a guy who came in took down the kettle on the table and replaced it with a new jug of water.

Jian Ning watched as the plan was about to fail. I didn't care about anything, so I came out of my hiding place. ripped Long Zening's clothes hanging on the hanger, so that he could somewhat restrain his movements. Long Zening stood up and turned around in an instant at that moment. Jian Ning didn't think much about it, and sprinkled all the handful of poisonous powder in his hand on Long Ze Ningchi. Naked body.

Immediately, Jian Ning immediately threw the clothes back to Long Zening, and said in a slightly unnatural voice: "Lord Wang, I am offended." But please rest assured, I definitely have no intention of hurting the prince, as long as the prince agrees to find a way to let me enter the palace and compete with the people of Lingsui. The antidote is immediately served with both hands. ”

"Even the poison has been used against this king, and I'm afraid that only you can say that you don't want to hurt this king."

Jian Ning didn't know what Long Zening's expression was when he said this. But in the end, Long Zening readily agreed. Jian Ning also offered half of the antidote as promised.

In fact, now that I think about it, this qiē, except for the little difference that came out later, should be in Long Zening's calculations. Otherwise, a dignified Xiangwang Mansion would be something they could enter if they wanted to. The patrol guards of the palace are not difficult to solve, but Jian Ning can't believe that a huge palace doesn't even have a secret guard or anything.

Maybe at that time, Long Zening thought that he would sneak attack him while he was not paying attention, or use drugs to stun him! It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the key pot of tea was taken away

"Jiu'er, don't do this trespass on the palace in the future." Jian Ning said seriously to Jiu'er.

"Don't worry, Ning'er, even if you don't say it, we won't go to Xiangwang's Mansion like that in the future." Ruan Zijin glanced at Jiu'er, and then said to Jian Ning with a wry smile.

"Huh? Didn't you also happen yesterday? Jian Ning rarely saw Ruan Zijin and Jiu'er so obedient, so she couldn't help but ask strangely.

Ruan Zijin smiled and said, "Actually, not long after entering the Xiangwang Mansion yesterday, I found out that something was wrong. But I noticed that none of the guards seemed to be moving, so I didn't tell you, and kept watching. It wasn't until Ning'er entered King Xiang's house that we really encountered a problem. ”

"yes, not long after my sister went in, we were entangled by the secret guards. Fortunately, they didn't mean to kill us, they just restrained us. Later, you went directly into the palace again, and we came out of the Xiangwang Mansion not long ago. ”

Hearing this, Jian Ning affirmed her thoughts even more, and muttered: "No wonder Long Zening didn't let me see you at that time, it turned out that he arrested you." ”

Thinking about it, Long Zening is not a good person, he designed him like that, he is already human if he doesn't kill himself. He risked letting himself enter the palace to have a little bargaining chip, if he had any conspiracy, he would threaten himself with Jiu'er and Zijin.

Hey, Long Zening is really Long Zening! I believe that in this plan, the only miscalculation he may have made is to be seen by himself

After this competition, Jian Ning once again became the center of the topic after the God of Food Competition. And her cooking skills have become the focus of controversy for everyone.

Jian Ning rarely had time to sit in the courtyard basking in the sun, sipping melon seeds, and Jiu'er walked in in a hurry.

"Jiu'er, is there something wrong with being in such a hurry? Or is your mouth hungry again and you want to eat? In the past few days, Jiu'er has often pestered Jian Ning to make snacks, so that when Jian Ning sees her, she will think that she is greedy again.

"Sister, do you remember what you told me about your grandfather last time?" Jiu'er sat beside Jian Ning, looked at Jian Ning and said seriously.

Hearing this, Jian Ning also put away her joking attitude. Sit up. looked at Jiu'er and asked, "Did you find something?" ”

"There's a clue." Jiu'er kept his eyes calm. said solemnly, "Xiaoyao Valley seems to have no quarrel with the world, but in fact, it has eyeliner in all countries. Generally, it is used as a disguise for the pharmacy and medical center. ”

"In the past few days, I have passed on the books of Yuan Chu's respective medical halls, checked the account books of all medical centers and pharmacies in the six months before and after my grandfather's disappearance, and suddenly found a problem."

"What's the problem?" Jian Ning was surprised by the power of Xiaoyao Valley, but she was more concerned about the clues found by Jiu'er.

"Between a month before my grandfather's disappearance and two months before now, several medical centers in Kyoto and nearby towns have been receiving huge orders for a long time. The other party said that it was in the business of medicinal materials. But after a few days of investigation, I found that there was no such thing as Zài, and the most important thing was that the medicinal materials they bought disappeared in the end," Jiu'er finished speaking, handing Jian Ning a sorted account book.

Jian Ningzai looked at it carefully, and asked with some confusion: "Didn't Jiu'er notice this problem before?" ”

"I always thought it was the enemy on the rivers and lakes, so I didn't think about this place at all. Besides, my grandfather is missing, so where am I still in the mood to check the accounts. Jiu'er replied with a look of remorse. If she had thought of this earlier, or if she had been more careful, she might have found her grandfather.

"From this account book, it seems that this is a very large amount of medicinal herbs. It is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air, there must be a place to go. It's just that the other party is hiding too deeply, and it's not easy to find out. Jian Ning said while thinking.

After comparing and looking at it for a while, Jian Ning frowned and asked, "The types of medicinal materials they buy are roughly the same every time. Jiu'er, can you see what these medicinal materials are used for? ”

"In the eyes of ordinary people, these medicinal materials are very ordinary, but if you think deeply, you can use these medicinal materials and mix them with some special things, you can refine the poison. Moreover, several of these herbs are also excellent herbs for the treatment of traumatic injuries. Jiu'er had already studied these medicinal materials before she came, and as far as she could see, this was all she could see.

"Poison refining? But these herbs are not poisonous, right? Jian Ning was a little puzzled. Although she doesn't know medicine, she has read a lot of medical books and pharmacopoeias before, and the efficacy of some medicinal materials is still clear.

"It's true that they are not poisonous, but they are an indispensable aid to the refining of some poisons. In the Poison Codex of Xiaoyao Valley, the raw materials of many poisons are not very toxic in themselves, and they are all highly toxic after the refining of some drugs. ”

"Jiu'er, did the people who bought these medicinal materials pay off the silver all at once?" Jian Ning asked, looking at the number at the end of each page.

"En, it's because they can pay it off every time, that the shopkeepers of those pharmacies are willing to supply them for a long time." Jiu'er nodded.

"If that's the case, then we can narrow it down a lot. Each of these medicinal materials is not a small amount, and there are not many people who can afford this sum of money, and there are not many people in the entire Yuan Chu. The most important thing is that the herb dealer is not something that everyone can do, and that requires the approval of the government. They can play the signboard of the medicinal herb merchant so lightly, which shows that the power of the people behind them is not small, at least it will not be lower than the position of the six Shangshu. ”

Jian Ning analyzed little by little, and finally looked at the account book, and said affirmatively: "So the person behind this is obviously a powerful and rich person." When you think about it like this, there are only a few suspicious people. ”

"What my sister said is reasonable, but two months ago, they stopped coming to buy medicinal herbs, so the clue was broken." After listening to Jian Ning's analysis, Jiu'er nodded and said with a little disappointment.

"Not necessarily. They stopped purchasing for two reasons, one was that the quantity they needed was enough, and the other was that they sensed that something was wrong and temporarily reined in. Jian Ning said this not to comfort Jiu'er, but completely out of an analysis of the possibility of things.

"So what do I do next?" Jiu'er looked at Jian Ning and said with a little urgency. Now that he has grandpa's clues, it is impossible for him to let go lightly no matter what. (To be continued......) R1292
