It turned out that after General Xu brought Lisa'er to Chang'an and placed her in his own mansion, at first his original wife, that is, Xu Guangcai's mother, was resolutely refused. For this matter, the husband and wife have quarreled several times, and they are red-faced and inseparable.

Faced with the contradictions between his parents, Xu Guangcai, as the eldest son, could only try his best to persuade and reconcile. However, no matter how hard he persuaded him, he asked his father to consider the overall situation and dedicate Lisa'er to the emperor. The other party is still as strong as iron, but he is unwilling to compromise.

In the end, General Xu saw that his wife was really 'unreasonable', so he simply moved to the backyard and lived with Lisa'er, so he lived a warm life of you and me. I only know how to flirt and scold all day long, but I no longer care about the affairs of the court.

And because he was an official of the imperial court and was busy with official business, although Xu Guangcai was quite dissatisfied with his father's practice, he often had no choice but to postpone this matter because he had no skills.

But he never thought that it was precisely because of his father's support that Lisaer became fearless, and she was showing off her might and power in the mansion all day long. In the end, he used a bowl of medicinal porridge to end the other party's life.

"Medicinal porridge?" When Li Zhifeng heard this, he asked curiously.

Xu Guangcai nodded and said firmly:

"I won't hide it from you, I have also quietly inquired in the house in the past few days to the subordinates who served my father, and my father was still fine after returning to the mansion that day, but he drank a bowl of medicinal porridge at dusk, so what happened later."

Li Yuanchang pondered for a moment, but he still couldn't think of a reason. If it is according to what Master Xu said, there must be something wrong with this medicinal porridge. But even the most potent herbs have a relatively slow onset of attacks. There was no such immediate situation, so what could be the thing that Lisa put in the porridge?

He was about to open his mouth to ask, but saw Shan Zhuokun beside him suddenly say:

"Are you sure there's something wrong with this porridge?"

Li Yuanchang looked sideways, but saw that Shan Zhuokun was staring at Xu Guangcai with burning eyes at the moment, and the expression of the monograph was like that of the magistrate who tried the case in the yamen.

"Yes." Xu Guangcai bowed slightly, "During that time, she kept making this kind of porridge for my father to drink, saying that it was to nourish the Yuan Shen. Because of this porridge, my father did become more energetic. It's just that that day, in addition to adding normal ingredients to the porridge, she also told the dining room to add more medicinal herbs that had never been added before. ”

When everyone heard this answer, they all showed joy. It seems that the mystery of General Xu's death is tied to this medicinal material.

"Medicinal herbs? What herbs? Shan Zhuokun suddenly came to his senses, and immediately turned into Sherlock Holmes, and asked several questions one after another, "What color?" What shape? What attributes? ”

Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Guangcai nodded first, and then shook his head.

"This ..... Guangcai didn't see it in person, so it's not very good. But according to the people in the dining room, the herb was not an ordinary medicine store, but an extremely small black worm, the size of an earthworm. ”

"Oops, it's disgusting."

Yu Chi Baolin shuddered when he heard this, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was most afraid of insects in his life. And no matter what kind of bug it is, it can definitely be regarded as a nemesis.

However, Shan Zhuokun seemed even happier. As the saying goes, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Unexpectedly, Xu Guangcai really found out the culprit of his father's death by mistake, and he only needed to prescribe the right medicine from the side.

"It's a Gu worm." Shan Zhuokun said confidently.

"Gu worms?" Yu Chi Baolin stood up in astonishment, "I am a great Tang Dynasty, the sun and the moon are clear, how could anyone use such despicable means in the imperial city to hurt the imperial court officials." Wait, and the general will send someone to arrest the thief and take her to the government, and she will be punished with death. ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave the water pavilion and go to the official mansion. I didn't want to take a few steps yet, but I was pulled by Shan Zhuokun again.

"Shangxian, why are you doing this?" Yu Chi Baolin said puzzled.

"General Wei Chi, don't be impulsive in everything, it's better to use your brains more." Shan Zhuokun Zhengse dissuaded, "If my guess is correct, the death of General Xu is just an introduction, and this Lisa'er should be the fine work sent to Chang'an by the Uighur king, with the purpose of subverting the Tang Dynasty." Master Xu, think about it, what has happened to the people in your mansion recently? ”

Xu Guangcai frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.

"Yes." He nodded and said, "Recently, several people in my house have been experiencing chills, although they have also invited Langzhong, but they have not improved significantly. Master Shan, could it be that this is also caused by Na Lisa'er? ”

A sneer appeared on Shan Zhuokun's lips, and he teased: "In the end, she is just a woman, and she can't hold her breath when she does things. ”

After speaking, under the gaze of everyone, he took out a brown vial from his sleeve, handed it to Xu Guangcai, and carefully advised.

"Lord Xu, this is a medicinal powder that can drive away Gu poison. When you get back to the house, you can secretly sprinkle the powder into the hospital first, and I'll take care of the rest. Remember, don't mention today's events to anyone. ”

Xu Guangcai stretched out his hands, took the medicine bottle with a solemn expression, and put it into his sleeve. Then, he clenched his fists and said:

"Thank you for your gift of medicine."

Shan Zhuokun waved his hand, and said with a smile: "You and I are originally ministers of the same dynasty, so there is no need to be so polite, but it seems to be outside." Again, professionals do professional things. When you go back, act as if nothing had happened, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer in a few days. ”

Xu Guangcai answered, and then everyone chatted for a while, and then they dispersed.

At noon four days later, in the study of the General's Mansion, Shan Zhuokun, dressed in a white water coat, was drinking tea alone in the house, and suddenly heard Chunxue greeting people under the window. With a lot of effort, Yu Chi Baolin strode in.

"General Wei Chi, is there anything wrong with you?"

Although Shan Zhuokun knew the other party's intention, he was still silent on the surface, and said suspiciously.

"I came to ask you, how do you want to deal with the affairs of the Xu family? Just now in the imperial study, the emperor said that the Western Turkic merchant group arrived in Chang'an ahead of schedule, and they would enter the city in three days. Seeing that your eyebrows are burning now, you still have the leisure to drink tea here, you are really going to die. ”

Yu Chi Baolin saw that Shan Zhuokun deliberately pretended to be stupid with himself, and he suddenly felt extremely dissatisfied in his heart. When he came to his desk, he complained loudly.

Shan Zhuokun put the teacup on the table and did not speak, but put the index and middle fingers of his right hand on the other party's wrist.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Chi Baolin asked puzzled.

Shan Zhuokun tricked himself for a while, and then laughed and joked again:

"I said why is General Wei Chi's temper so big, but it turns out that his liver is on fire, and when Brother Hui is free to prescribe a prescription for you, you can grab a few pairs of medicine and take it, and slowly recuperate."

"you." Yu Chi Baolin heard Shan Zhuokun deliberately curse himself, and he didn't feel even more angry, "Okay, why are you cursing me?" I'll just ask you if you want to get down to business. ”

Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly, and didn't pay any attention to Yu Chi Baolin. Instead, he got up and ordered Chunxue to change his clothes, and after some freshening and changing, everything was ready. He glanced at the other party again, then silently turned around and walked outside.

"Where are you going?"

Yu Chi Baolin didn't expect Shan Zhuokun to be so indifferent to himself, so he kept freezing in place. At this moment, seeing that the other party's feet were about to step out of the door, he woke up like a dream and asked in amazement.

"Xu Mansion."

Shan Zhuokun still had his back to Yu Chi Baolin and replied indifferently.

Yu Chi Baolin's eyes suddenly showed a look of pride, and they all said that Shangxian's temper was stubborn and high, and it was difficult for ordinary people to control. But in the end, you don't have to listen to yourself. Perhaps, since he is so good to himself, he should also repay the favor and be a good brother for life.

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly, 'Wait for me', and then ran out in a hurry, and set off to Xu Mansion with Shan Zhuokun.
