One of the characteristics of the frontier is that there are few people, and another is that the walls are high. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the imperial power does not go to the countryside...... The farther away from the capital, the less peaceful it is. Therefore, the border towns are usually small, but they are very strong. Because the people who call the shots here are usually the local tycoons.

Hong Bashou walked in front, and the ten taels of silver in his arms made his chest a little uncomfortable, and the Yan Zhitang killer behind him was holding the donkey cart, and the reins in his hand were long, and he couldn't wait to stretch his arms a little longer.

In the shade under the high city walls, there sat two people, a Taoist who looked very old, and a man with a hunchback. Hong Bashou glanced at it and continued walking, but the killer in Yan Zhitang became alert.

The donkey cart creaked past, and Yan Zhitang's killer pulled the donkey cart with one hand and held the handle of the knife with the other......

"Abba ...... Ah......h

Choke! The killer's long knife was out of his body, and he looked coldly at the hunchbacked man next to him, and the man actually danced and jumped, but it seemed that he was a mute, just pulling the sleeve of the old man, and Abba Abba expressed something.

Lao Dao opened a pair of clear eyes and frowned: "It's not clean here, let's go!" ”

The killer sneered and didn't make a sound, just looked coldly at the two charlatans who seemed to be playing tricks.

Lao Dao looked at the two corpses on the donkey cart and sighed: "Are you going to burn them?" ”

Hong Bashou arched his hand: "Dare to teach the Taoist master to know, it is going to be burned!" ”

The Taoist looked at Tianri: "If there are many people like this, this city will not be able to be saved, and there will not be enough medicinal materials." ”

The hands in Hong Ba's sleeves shook and said in a low voice: "Only these two died, and there was also a noble man who had applied medicine, and the others were not found." ”

The Taoist priest nodded, frowned, and asked, "What kind of medicine was administered?" ”

Hong Bashou's head lowered even deeper: "Chicken blood, ash at the bottom of the stove, plus a few herbs, and then pour ten raw chickens to induce vomiting......"

The Taoist priest sighed: "Dumb! Let's go...... It's going to be a dead realm here......"

"Stop! What did this monk see? Yan Zhitang's killer stepped forward, and the long knife in his hand stopped the Taoist priest and the mute!

Lao Dao looked at the killer with a calm face: "The poor Dao came after the Gu poison epidemic, the epidemic entered the city, but it lost its trace, and now the epidemic has broken out and killed people, and I have met quacks, and the Gu poison epidemic is close at hand!" Poor Dao knew that he had nothing to do, so he wanted to retreat...... Why stop? ”

Yan Zhitang's killer snorted coldly: "I wait for the internal guards to walk, and the officials and family members are down, and those who dare to deceive will be regarded as complicit!" Who the hell are you? ”

Lao Dao was not afraid, and patted the Taoist robe on his body: "Poor Dao Jingyu, can this official take a look at the Poor Dao's degree seal?" ”

"What? Are you Jing Yu's real person? Yan Zhitang's killer seemed to be very familiar with this name, and looked at Lao Dao in surprise. And Yang Li, who pretended to be dumb behind Lao Dao, frowned, and couldn't remember what the real person of Jing Yu was.

The killer hugged the long knife and saluted: "If a real person knows about this Gu poison, can he diagnose and treat my captain?" Yan Zhitang must be thankful! ”

Lao Dao shook his head: "What's the use of saving one person but not saving half of the city?" ”

The killer also shook his head: "Saving one person is life!" It is their lives that cannot save half of the city! Please also do your best to the real person. ”

The corpse was thrown to Hong Bashou, who was no longer of great use, to burn it himself, and Yan Zhitang, the killer, walked to the stronghold where Wu Zhanghuan was hiding with his old way and mute manners.

Yang Li followed behind Lao Dao and asked in a low voice, "Dao Chief, what identity are you using here?" Why do these people in Yan Zhitang trust this Jing Yu real person very much? ”

Lao Dao hummed in a low voice: "That old miscellaneous hair is my junior brother...... The two of us are both specialized in medicine, and he saves people everywhere and poisons me everywhere...... Boy, do you regret it now? ”

Yang Li smiled lightly: "Poisoning may save people, and saving people may harm people!" It's hard to say ......."

"Humph! Most of the seven or eight poisons that were applicable in the entrance of the Southern Hall of Yan Zhitang were sold to them by my junior brother! My junior brother is also used to saving people, but every time he saves people, he receives benefits that others can't imagine! You'll know when you see him, but I hope you'll never see him!"

Wu Zhanghuan sat on the couch and looked at the Taoist sitting on the chair in front of him, he must have doubts about this old Taoist who has a lot of relationship with Yan Zhitang, Wu Zhanghuan has not seen it with his own eyes, but he still hugged his fists with a smile on his face and said: "Dare to ask why Daoist Jingyu came to this small city?" ”

The old Taoist fairy bowed his head and replied: "The world is peaceful, but southern Xinjiang has been troubled recently, poor Dao came to take a look, if there is a bad pool, he will save the people of Li from fire and water!" ”

"Greedy for money and lustful old thing...... Wu Zhanghuan scolded in his heart, but his face sighed as usual: "The Taoist chief is compassionate, he is really a model of Taoism!" I don't know why Daoist Jing Yu saw that the two people in the car had Gu poison in their bodies and had turned into an epidemic and spread it? ”

Lao Dao smiled lightly: "Poor Dao is the one who eats this bowl of rice, but he just smelled the traces of Gu poison, and came in to see if there was a seizure and what Gu poison was, but he found that it was too late, so he just wanted to retreat." ”

Wu Zhanghuan gritted his teeth: "Now only me and two subordinates are the ones who have Gu poison attacks, and the rest of the people have no signs of this!" Can the Taoist be able to help? ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Then the magistrate of Santing County and the county lieutenant of the main book know about the Gu Poison Epidemic?" Lao Dao rolled his eyes and asked in a deep voice......

Wu Zhanghuan was stunned for a moment, and realized what the old Taoist in front of him had in mind! This old miscellaneous hair originally wanted to knock the county government hard......

Fang Yuhua, the magistrate of Santing County, and Huang Sheng, the chief bookkeeper, frowned and looked at Wu Zhanghuan with a sick face, and while listening to Wu Zhanghuan's introduction, they absentmindedly looked at the Taoist priest and a mute who were meditating under the pavilion in the courtyard.

Fang Yuhua endured his unhappiness and asked in a low voice, "Has Captain Wu ever tested the true body of this Taoist priest?" ”

Wu Zhanghuan sighed: "There are four or five kinds of pills on his body that he used to treat Gu poison for a certain family, all of which are the drugs prepared by Yan Zhitang's unique family, and they are all the unique secret recipes of that Jingyu Daoist!" And...... He also knocked out a certain family of ten taels of gold! ”

"What?" Fang Zhixian and Huang Zhushu were stunned when they heard this, and Huang Zhushu said in a low voice: "Dare to coerce the internal guards to walk? He's so bold! ”

Wu Zhanghuan gritted his teeth: "The master of the door has been informed, and you should respect this person!" ”

Fang Zhixian's eyes rolled when he heard this, but Master Huang on the side immediately couldn't sit still: "This Jingyu Daoist is saying that the Gu poison plague in Santing County has spread?" ”

Wu Zhanghuan nodded: "Daoist Jingyu said that someone is plotting against Santing County, as for who it is, why he is so ruthless, I don't know!" ”

Master Huang's heart immediately sank...... This mission was attacked, it was a big deal that he lost his official position and resigned, his family is still there, his wealth and connections are still there, and it is a big deal to change a child in the clan to make a comeback. But if this Gu poison really caused the spread of the plague, then Santing County would suffer the most from the Huang family! The county order of the horse and the iron-clad Huang family, that is dangerous!

Wu Zhanghuan seemed to see that these two civil officials still didn't believe in themselves very much in their hearts, and said coldly: "In a while, Daoist Jingyu will give a certain Gu worm one last time!" The two adults can watch from the sidelines. ”

In the gazebo, the dumb man was dozing off with his head down, but in fact, Yang Li's mouth trembled slightly. It's a heated exchange with the pretending veteran......

"Dao Chief! Just help me find out the ins and outs of the attack on the mission, isn't it a bit of a big game now? ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! How can you make a profit if you don't have a lot? How many coins can you get just by curing this Yan Zhitang guy? Don't think that Dao Ye is easy to deceive, you deliberately let this captain be infected with Gu poison and let Dao Ye take you into these three court counties, you are also calculating Dao Ye! Now that we're trapped here, you kid isn't fun......"

Yang Li snorted coldly: "Ten pearls as a reward, the Taoist is still not satisfied? ”

Lao Dao said: "There are too many strange things in this matter, how can you get this little apprentice alone?" If I don't pull you to deal with this matter, this Gu poisoning thing will have to appear again! You should be merciful and put aside your hatred for the time being, and help the poor people, if you can really find out the bad people behind it, it will also be your merit! If you can't keep it, your enemy will be punished by heaven and struck to death by a thunderbolt on a dry day, and then you say...... Who is your enemy? ”

Yang Li was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "A woman, named Jade Zheng!" ”

The empty old Taoist nodded slightly: "Remember, the Taoist master will pay attention to it for you." ”

Wu Zhanghuan sat bare-chested on top of a brocade pier, trembling all over, and a clay pot was placed on the ground in front of him. Fang Zhixian and Huang Zhushu sat suspiciously at a distance, looking at the dumb man behind Lao Dao and bringing over a huge gourd!

The old immortal looked very reliable, put a pill into the gourd, and then ignited a charm out of thin air with a flick of his fingers! The flame flickered away, the paper ash fell into the palm of the Taoist and poured into the gourd, the Taoist priest carefully took out a delicate jade vial in his arms, sighed, opened the cork and poured a little green liquid into the gourd!

The precious turquoise liquid seemed to have a faint musky scent! It can make people admire it all at once...... Fang Zhixian felt that it seemed that Captain Wu's ten taels of gold flowers were quite worthwhile......

That dumb man doesn't seem to be an ordinary dumb person, holding up the gourd with one palm, and with a little force, the gourd spins in the palm of his hand! After only a few breaths and the gourd was caught, Lao Dao opened his eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Don't open your mouth yet!" ”

Wu Zhanghuan's face was bitter and he hurriedly opened his mouth, and the dumb man pulled out the gourd stopper and fell suddenly! A thin dark green musky medicinal soup shot out of the gourd and poured into Wu Zhanghuan's mouth.

Fang Zhixian and Huang Zhushu were shocked for a while, it seems that this old Dao, who has a close relationship with Yan Zhitang, is really not a mortal!

Wu Zhanghuan once again fell into a situation where life is worse than death, and the medicinal soup that smells fragrant but is actually bitter and smelly can simply disgust people to death! He didn't know that in addition to the old Dao's thick phlegm and Gu worm corpse liquid, the jade bottle contained in the jade bottle was also the urine of the Gu Monkey!

Gu Monkey only urins once every half a month, this thing is indeed a good thing to detoxify Gu, but if it is directly dispensed with medicinal liquid, even the tiger will have to vomit! Fortunately, Wu Zhanghuan's internal strength is pure and amazing, otherwise he would have been relieved of half his life by the antidote of Lao Dao.

The liquid medicine entered the abdomen, and Wu Zhanghuan kept scolding his mother in his heart! Forcibly endure the idea of suicide and mobilize internal forces to prescribe medicine...... But after more than ten breaths, Wu Zhanghuan couldn't stand it anymore, wow! Vomit out!

A mouthful of gray vomit squirted into the basin, and the old man shook his hands! Another spell appeared, and then it burned instantly, and the old way shot the flames at the tile basin with a snap of his fingers, and boom, the tile basin actually burst into flames! Immediately after, white rice worms crawled out of the gray vomit! The insects squeaked faintly, and then burst apart one by one in the flames, emitting a faint fishy smell......

While stretching their necks to look at the excitement, Fang Zhixian and Huang Zhushu were already dumbfounded, especially Huang Zhushu's two legs had begun to tremble......
