Chapter 484: One Step Late
One of the four princes of the imperial capital, Bai got up and suffered from a strange disease, fainted for several days, and whispered non-stop, and finally found the cause under Qin Shaoyang's careful and careful treatment, he used a black moxibustion needle to pick out the causative factors from the palm of the white palm, a two-inch, red-body, black-headed hideous insect -- rotting bone maggot grub. The eggs of the larvae quickly grow into semi-adults after sucking human blood for five hours, and then the semi-adult will swim along the blood vessels to the heart, where they will lie dormant, and the heart will evolve into an adult worm, while the host will become emaciated, faint and babble, and then die.
After the rotten bone maggot grub was picked out of Bai Qi's palm, Bai Qi, who was originally muttering incessantly, gradually stabilized, and his pale and frightened face became serene. Qin Shaoyang specially prescribed another dose of medicine to Bai Peng, and asked him to decoction the medicine according to the prescription and feed Bai Qi, and after three days of hard work, Bai Qi would wake up safely. Although Bai Qi's strange disease was cured, an extremely strict question appeared in front of everyone's eyes, that is, why Bai Qi's palm was planted with carrion maggots, and what kind of person wanted to cause Bai Qi to die, and actually resorted to such indiscriminate means.
Qin Shaoyang's heroic brows furrowed, he stared at Bai Qi's palm, and then turned to look at Bai Peng and asked, "Bai Peng, let me ask you, since you took Bai Gongzi away that day, who has touched him?!" ”
Bai Peng's face was extremely pale, no matter what, he didn't expect that Bai Qi would be planted with rotting bone maggots, because since Bai Qi fainted, he was waiting by Bai Qi's side all the time, even when those doctors were treating Bai Qi, he still monitored their every move, because it was his duty. However, even in this case, the other party still succeeded in planting rotting bone maggots for Bai Qi, which now does not make Bai Qi frightened and afraid.
"Especially the Chinese medicine doctor who once diagnosed Bai Qi, think about it carefully!" Qin Shaoyang saw that Bai Peng's face was pale and reminded.
Bai Peng looked up at Qin Shaoyang and asked in a questioning tone, "Chinese medicine?" ”
Qin Shaoyang nodded solemnly, he took out the plastic bag containing the carrion maggot grub, and said: "Although this carrion maggot grub is a poisonous insect, but in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also a good medicine, the main snake lizard poisons malaria, relieves nausea and anti-cholera, and more importantly, it is also an excellent medicine for curing the carrion maggot grub attack period, and the person who can be familiar with the effect of the carrion maggot grub is definitely an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner, so I dare to conclude that the person who planted the eggs of the carrion maggot grub for Bai Gongzi must be a certain Chinese medicine doctor who came to heal!" ”
Hearing Qin Shaoyang's analysis, Bai Peng seemed to remember something, and immediately exclaimed, "Could it be him?!" ”
Qin Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "Who is he?!" ”
Bai Peng's face became more and more pale, his voice became trembling, he looked at Qin Shaoyang and said: "He is Xie Shenping of the Imperial Capital Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Xie Traditional Chinese Medicine, and he is also a well-known Chinese medicine practitioner in the Imperial Capital Chinese Medicine Circle. At that time, I also invited him to come to the young master's medical consultation, I clearly remember that he used a silver needle to puncture the young master's fingertips, at that time I asked him why he did this, his explanation was to drain blood for the young master, and then the young master's condition did not improve, he said that he would go back and check the medical records in detail to determine the young master's strange disease......"
Before Bai Peng finished speaking, Qin Shaoyang immediately interrupted him and said: "It's not wrong, the rotten bone maggot grub was planted by this Xie Shenping, at that time, he used the tip of a silver moxibustion needle to pierce Bai Gongzi's fingertips for the purpose of injecting insect eggs, he knew that he didn't know much about Chinese medicine, so he made up lies at will to leak blood and turn evil into evil to prevaricate you!" ”
"Damn!" Thinking that the other party actually planted poisonous insect eggs for Bai Qi under his nose, Bai Peng's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, his forehead was bruised, and his expression became hideous and terrifying, and he shouted: "I'm going to kill that surnamed Xie!" With that, he strode toward the bedroom door.
Qin Shaoyang saw that Bai Peng was stunned by anger, when the matter was not investigated clearly, acting rashly would only be a bad thing, and at that moment he glanced at Long Wei, Long Wei immediately understood, and stepped forward with an arrow, blocking Bai Peng's way.
Bai Peng, who was furious, had lost his mind, his eyes were almost blood-red, and when he saw Long Wei appear in front of him, he immediately shouted: "Get out!" As he spoke, Bai Peng's right hand flipped up like lightning, and a hand knife slashed towards Long Wei's front door!
When he saw this scene, Qin Shaoyang couldn't help but be shocked, he knew that Bai Peng's hand knife skills were powerful, before in the grove, he saw Bai Qi cut off the neck of the two wolves of the Du clan with a hand knife, which was full of power, and now Bai Peng actually slashed at Long Wei without distinction between enemies and enemies, and he didn't know how Long Wei would resist this hand knife.
With a muffled sound, Long Wei raised his fist with his right hand, and Bai Peng's hand knife slashed straight under his arm, and the bodies of both of them were shocked, and then they each took two steps back before they stood firm.
Perhaps because of this block, Bai Peng, who was furious, gradually regained his consciousness, and his blood-red eyes also returned to normal, he looked down at his right hand, and then looked up at Long Wei, whose face did not change, and his expression changed slightly. Although Bai Peng was stunned by the fury just now, he clearly knew that he waved his hand towards Long Wei, the hand knife was almost eighty percent of his strength, and Long Wei easily blocked it, his dark face did not even change a little different, and the first confrontation between the two ended with Bai Peng falling slightly.
Seeing that Bai Peng had calmed down, Qin Shaoyang hurriedly stepped forward and said to Bai Peng: "Bai Peng, I know that you are the protector of the master, but before you act, you must make things clear, does that Chinese medicine doctor named Xie Shenping have any holiday grudges with Bai Gongzi?" ”
Bai Peng, who calmed down, shook his head slightly, and replied respectfully towards Qin Shaoyang: "No, Xie Shenping and the young master don't have any grievances at all, and the young master and Xie Shenping met at a rich feast, the two had almost no intersection before, and there were only two people in the entire imperial capital who had a grudge against the young master, one was Du Desheng, and the other was ......" When he said the other person, Bai Peng's words stopped, and he seemed to be slightly embarrassed.
"Who's the other one?" Qin Shaoyang definitely wanted to investigate who was going to kill Bai Qi, so he asked.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Peng looked up at Qin Shaoyang and replied, "Qin Shao, the other person is Ji Yanran, one of the four princes of the imperial capital. ”
"It's Ji Yanran again?!" Hearing this name, Qin Shaoyang's two sword eyebrows immediately cocked, Du Desheng's 200 million loan that has not yet been recovered is due to Ji Yanran, and now even Bai Qi is also related to Ji Yanran, it seems that this legendary 'female middle sex son' is not simple.
Although Ji Yanran is very suspicious, he will never judge the result casually without substantial evidence, and Du Desheng is not completely suspicious, after all, in terms of Du Desheng's sphere of influence, the remnants of the Du family have not been completely eliminated at all, and it is not impossible for Du Desheng's party members to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyang clapped his hands, he looked at Bai Peng and said, "Bai Peng, it seems that if we want to find out who is behind the murder of Bai Gongzi, we can only visit that Xie Shenping." ”
Time was pressing, and Bai Peng drove Qin Shaoyang and Long Wei to Xie Shenping's residence as soon as possible. Xie Shenping's residential area is a two-story building located on a relatively secluded street in the western district of the imperial capital. When they were about to come to the door of Xie Shenping's house, they saw a commotion in front of his house, red and blue lights swirling, and the sound of shrill sirens, and then they saw two white-clothed policemen carrying a stretcher and walking out of the door, covered with a white cloth, and a person lying under the white cloth.
Qin Shaoyang's keen instinct immediately felt a hint of foreboding, and he quickly jumped out of the car and ran quickly towards the two white-clothed policemen.
The policemen who were waiting around saw Qin Shaoyang running over, and when they stepped forward to intercept him, fortunately, at this time, Pan Xiaoting appeared in time, and Qin Shaoyang smoothly crossed the cordon and ran to the two white-clothed policemen. Pan Xiaoting saw that Qin Shaoyang didn't look at her, her heart suddenly became sour, she stomped her feet, and hurriedly ran over with him.
"Who is under the white cloth?!" Qin Shaoyang stopped the stretcher, didn't look at Pan Xiaoting, and asked directly.
Pan Xiaoting hurriedly replied to Qin Shaoyang: "Shaoyang, the person under the white cloth is a man named Xie Shenping, fifteen minutes ago, someone reported that he saw blood flowing out of the crack in the door of Xie's house, so he reported to our police, and when we arrived at the scene, we found that Xie Shenping was lying on the ground and had already lost his breath. ”
Hearing Qin Shaoyang, Qin Shaoyang stretched out his hand to lift the white cloth, and a bloodless middle-aged man's face appeared in front of Qin Shaoyang's eyes, the hospital name tag on his chest was clearly printed with the words 'Xie Shenping', his chest seemed to be blown open, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the clothes around him were stained dark black with blood, which was very terrifying.
Pan Xiaoting saw Qin Shaoyang staring at Xie Shenping's illness, as if she had noticed something, her bright eyes stared at Qin Shaoyang, and asked, "Shaoyang, why are you here?!" ”
Qin Shaoyang even subconsciously speculated that Xie Shenping was very likely to be instructed by the Shennong Gang, although there was no direct tone, but he was able to obtain extremely rare poisonous insects like the rotten bone maggot grub, except for the Shennong Gang, the number one gang in Chinese medicine, he really couldn't think of anyone else who had the strength to get the rotten bone maggot grub. But now that Xie Shenping is dead, all speculations have reached an impasse again, and there is no way to find out who is behind the scenes.
"Flutter!"
Just as Qin Shaoyang was falling into deep thought, a strange voice sounded from Xie Shenping's chest, as if something was biting the piece of meat, and in the next moment, Qin Shaoyang heard Pan Xiaoting let out an incomparably sharp and terrifying cry: "Ahhh ”
