Waiting for the results of the investigation in the morning and evening, that night, Huangfu Jinghao and Yun Qingchen had a fever at the same time.

Under inquiry, both of them went to the south of Xicheng to deal with official business that day, and they had a little fever after eating at noon, but because both of them were strong in martial arts, they couldn't help but show it in the afternoon!

After Xu Feishuang's examination, he determined that their condition was the same as that of the people in the south, and Chen Xi looked at Xu Feishuang, "Do you have any clue?" ”

Xu Feishuang shook his head, "Not for the time being, according to the cases in the previous days, this situation will last for two days, and then, after the third day, people will start to become confused, and on the fourth day, they will start to be stupid." It's not like it's poisonous, and the cause hasn't been identified. ”

Chenxi waved his hand and let a group of people go out, leaving only Xu Feishuang to help in the room. Reaching out and grabbing Yun Qingji's hand, he quietly felt the flow of breath in his body, the poisonous gas - he didn't feel it.

But there's definitely something different!

It is impossible to have a fever for no reason, and the common denominator is that they all went to the south of Xicheng.

Is there any weird situation there?

"Princess, we can't sit still, although this is not contagious, but if it goes on like this, more and more people in the south of Xicheng may fall."

"I know, I'll go to the south to inspect it myself, and you will follow."

"Princess, you can't go, in case you ......"

"I'm going, and I have a gut feeling that I just have to go to find the reason. However, before I went, I asked Huangfu Jinghao's attendant to tell me carefully that the two of them had passed through some places that day. Something I've eaten. And among the people who went with me, there were people who didn't get sick, and there were people who did something! ”

Xu Feishuang nodded, went out and called Huangfu Jinghao's attendants in, and asked them to tell them about the situation after they went out of the princess's mansion recently.

Chenxi listened to the attendant's speech, frowned slightly, they almost followed the two of Huangfu Jinghao closely, the places the two of them have been, they have also been there, and if they eat, they will eat at different tables in the same shop.

What's the difference?

"Ahh In that tea shop, Huangfu Gongzi and Yun Gongzi both washed their hands before eating, a few of us did not wash our hands, and the things we ate were the same, Yun Gongzi said that everyone tasted the meat buns of the store together......"

Hand washing?

Is it just this difference?

Chenxi frowned slightly, it seems that she can't find anything without going on a trip in person! "You two take me to repeat the route that Huangfu Jinghao and they have taken today, and tell me as you go about the things they have come into contact with on the road."

"Yes. Princess. ”

"Princess, such an important matter. I'm going to help! Beitang Junlian stood at the door and looked at Chenxi leisurely.

Chenxi thought that he was the one in charge of investigating intelligence, and his sensitivity to the information around him should be better than that of ordinary people, so he nodded and agreed, but Beitang Lianyun was rejected if he wanted to follow.

Sitting in a carriage, together with Xu Feishuang and Beitang Junlian, let the two attendants repeat the route of Huangfu Jinghao and their travel, and there were almost no doubts along the way, when they entered the suburbs in the south. Gradually, I saw many patients standing outside many medical centers queuing up to see the doctor.

"Princess, Wuya reports that hundreds of people in the south have fallen ill, and more than a dozen of them have been sick for three or four days, and people have become stupid, and their IQ is like that of a three-year-old child."

100 people!

"Keep walking!"

"By the way, Princess, we ate a snack at this tea shop."

On the roadside in the suburbs to the south, there is a simple tea shop. Chenxi hesitantly glanced at the tea shop, "Let's go down and have a look!" ”

Seeing a distinguished guest passing by, the shopkeeper came out to greet him with a smile: "What do you want to come to?" ”

"Let's have a plate of steamed buns first!"

"Okay."

"Princess, do you want to eat?" Beitang Junlian asked very leisurely.

Chenxi shook her head, "No appetite." ”

"Hey, Xiao Er, let's have some water to clean your hands!" Beitang Junlian sighed. "Princess, there's a lot of stuff here! If you don't eat it, it's a waste! ”

Xiao Er brought half a basin of water to Beitang Junlian. Chenxi glanced at it unmindfully, and suddenly stopped Beitang Junlian. "Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

Chenxi glanced at Xiao Er, "Let's put this water on the table first!" ”

"Oh!" Although Xiao Er is a little confused, there is still no objection, rich people have the habit of rich and noble people!

"Princess, what's wrong with this water?" Beitang Junlian asked in a low voice.

Chenxi glanced at Xu Feishuang, "Did you find anything?" ”

Xu Feishuang looked at it seriously and shook his head: "There's nothing special!" ”

Chenxi looked at the water in the basin suspiciously, "How come, I obviously saw a purple-black thing in the water, something like a mist." ”

Xu Feishuang and Beitang Junlian were stunned, the water they saw was the same as usual!

"You can't see it?"

"The water is extremely clear, this should be a very ordinary landscape! Princess, are you hallucinating? ”

"No, it's just that, there is something purple and black floating in the clear water, floating around like a ribbon!"

Huh?

Xu Feishuang and Beitang Junlian were both puzzled, they clearly didn't see anything!

Chenxi thought about it and called the shopkeeper: "Where did this water come from?" ”

"Oh, we have always got water from the creek on the mountainside in front, and the water quality there has always been very good, sweet mountain spring water!"

"Could you please take us to see the stream that connects to this mountain spring?"

The shopkeeper nodded in confusion, "Yes, but I still have a job-"

Beitang Junlian took out a tael of silver from her arms, "This should be your reward!" ”

Xiao Er was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll tell my dad right away and take you around." ”

"Can your tea shop close today and do business tomorrow?"

Xiao Er looked at Chenxi puzzled: "Why?" ”

"I think there might be something wrong with the water. So—"

Xiao Er said in disbelief: "This young lady, our tea shop has always used the water there, not only us, but many villagers here use the water there, and there has never been a problem!" ”

Beitang Junlian smiled, and took out another tael of silver: "Little brother, please, our lady just wants to investigate, and she doesn't mean to embarrass anyone." ”

"Okay, then I'll talk to Daddy."

After closing. Xiao Er took Chenxi and them to the halfway up the mountain in front, and before they walked in, they saw the small waterfall flowing out of the mountain spring water from a distance of a few meters, and the water flow was also mixed with purple and black things, and they couldn't tell what it was, but there must be something wrong with it.

"This is it, I've been drinking water here since I was a child. Did you misunderstand something? Xiao Er said very frankly.

Chenxi walked forward, reaching out and trying to touch the purple-black thing, but. Her hand was in the water, and she avoided the purple-black thing as if she were alert. Drifted somewhere else.

She uses her left hand, and if she can avoid it, it's either poisonous or evil!

If it was just poison, it would not have been possible to have such a fresh life.

Something evil?

"Princess, is there anything wrong with life here?"

"It's really wrong, pass the order, from now on, this stream water can't be used, and it can only be used again after the toxin is removed." As he spoke, he glanced at the two guards behind him: "You two." Go to the barracks to find Ji Gongzi, and say my order, let him send a hundred meters of elite soldiers to come here with you, and then you lead people to guard along this stream section by section, and post a notice to remind the people. ”

"Yes, Princess."

Princess?

Xiao Er of the tea shop stared at the group of people in front of him with wide eyes, is this woman with an extraordinary temperament Princess Chiyang?

Chenxi turned to look at him and smiled slightly: "This little brother." The water here used to be fine, but it seems to have been poisoned recently, so the people who drink the water will gradually get sick, so before the toxin is cleared, please help tell the villagers in this vicinity not to use the water here for the time being, is it okay? ”

"Of course—yes! See the princess! ”

"You're welcome. Go get busy! This princess will let people develop an antidote as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Princess." Xiao Er's heart beat faster and retreated. Pat your heart, it turns out that Princess Chiyang is such a kind person!

Beitang Junlian looked at Chenxi. "Princess, isn't it tricky?"

"Well, I don't know what it is. Fly frost, try it with a silver needle. ”

Xu Feishuang took out a silver needle from the medicine box and inserted it into the water, and the silver needle did not change color when it sounded. "Princess, this-"

"It's tricky if you can't find out!"

"Isn't it even more strange that the princess can see that there is something else in the water? Princess, is it because your eyes are blue, so you also have an extra talent for being able to see things that we can't see? ”

I don't know about this, anyway, she saw other creatures in the water, and besides, judging from the color, it's not good!

Chenxi instructed the two guards, "You two go buy a few ducks." ”

The guards glanced at each other and left.

When the guards came over with a few ducks, Chenxi put a few of them into the water, and saw that the purple and black things in the water were adsorbed on the ducks, and they didn't need to drink water, as long as they got close, they could be adsorbed!

What the hell is this thing?

The ducks that had absorbed the strange creatures were put aside by Chenxi, and after about half an hour, the ducks were obviously out of energy, and then they lazily lay on the grass and didn't understand, and their eyes were not focused.

"Princess, there's really a problem!"

"Of course there is a problem, otherwise I would have bothered to do something!" Chenxi was a little depressed, thought about it and said to Beitang Junlian: "You slaughtered the duck with an ordinary sword, no, it's better to pluck out the feathers, I want to observe!" ”

Forehead!

Beitang Junlian looked at her embarrassedly: "Back to the princess, I won't kill the duck!" ”

"You—" Chenxi rolled her eyes, and ordered the guards to go to the nearby people's houses to buy two wooden pots, and also carry half a bucket of boiling water.

Xu Feishuang looked at the duck's performance in confusion: "Princess, how is this a bit like a plague!" ”

"Smack-"

Beitang Junlian unceremoniously tapped him on the head: "Don't say bad words, I don't want to encounter something like that." ”

"It's not a question of whether you want to or not! You see for yourself how they react, and they become more and more mindless, just—"

"It's definitely not a plague, let's talk about it after the test!"
