Chapter 16: Desire Control Grass
The tension finally dissipated after the departure of the female guests.
Yun Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then flashed back to the room with a swift movement.
The wave set off by the Hundred Flowers Banquet has not passed, and the turmoil in Yandong City has risen again.
Twelve officials of the DPRK and China died one after another within half a month, and they died at different times, and their deaths were miserable but also different, among them were civil officials, military attachés, and their ranks were also different...... For several days in a row, someone died suddenly every day, the snow-white yin money was sprinkled, and the sound of suona resounded in the sky, for a while, the people of the entire Yandong City were panicked, and everyone's face was shrouded in fear of death.
But they are afraid of death, and some people love to deal with the dead.
Zong Lu carefully pressed the silver-gray, hard as iron corpse in front of him with his fingers, and finally found a place as soft as water in the back socket of his waist, he took out the knife he carried with him and slashed it lightly at the place, and a foul-smelling and pungent blue liquid bubbled out, and after a while, a large piece of the place was missing.
This was the third time in a month and a half that he had examined the body.
It was the first time he had seen such a peculiar poisoning symptom so far.
Not only the surface of the body, but also the mouth of the corpse, and even the internal organs were gradually turning into hard iron, and after three days, the corpse finally began to decompose, but in a very strange way, it melted from the inside into an unknown blue liquid, and then slowly disintegrated.
His eyes lit up, and he was a little excited at the novelty of his death, but his excitement was terrible when it was expressed on his gloomy and pale face.
Cen Zhaohou didn't let others inform, and stood quietly in the special room for Zonglu, knowing each other as well as him, and only he could read Zonglu's excitement.
After a while, Zong Lu came back to his senses, and he ran towards Cen Zhaohou with great interest, his pale face glowing.
"I found what these corpses have in common!"
Cen Zhaohou smiled lightly at this necrophilic friend, motioned for him to sit down and speak slowly.
The law of the sect will make his discoveries one by one.
It turned out that although the twelve officials who died had different symptoms of poisoning, and he had not yet solved some of the poisons, they all had the same medicine in their bodies.
It is strange to say that this drug is prevalent in Fengyue places, and it cannot hurt people, let alone kill people, but at this time, it appears in their bodies at the same time, which is really incomprehensible.
Cen Zhaohou fell into deep thought after hearing his words.
He investigated the whereabouts of the deceased officials and their families in the past half a month, down to firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and found another thing they had in common - their female dependents had all attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet held in his mansion half a month ago.
He was the first to suspect Hermione.
But with her understanding of this little cousin, in addition to her somewhat insidious mind and a little arrogant, where did she get such a great ability to kill the twelve important ministers in the court?
These twelve important ministers were all poisoned to death, and they all went to his Cen Mansion - the person he should suspect the most should be the poison doctor Xianyunsha, who lived in his mansion and was famous for his poisonous ingenuity.
But he didn't want to doubt her.
As soon as this strange thought came out, it was suppressed back by Cen Zhaohou.
As a general of soldiers and horses, it is his duty to protect the officials of the imperial court and stabilize the situation in the court.
Previously, he was not allowed to participate in court affairs because of his health, but now that he is recovering, and the court has summoned him to re-investigate the case, how can he have such a ridiculous idea in the face of a fierce criminal who may have poisoned twelve important ministers!
Since she has this suspicion, she must investigate thoroughly.
It's just that Yun Xi is scheming, and seeing that she is still calm and idle in his Cen Mansion, it must be difficult to find out the evidence of her guilt for a while.
Cen Zhaohou frowned, this woman who didn't know him but was able to rescue him three or four times, was she really so vicious?
Thinking of the jade pendant she had coveted many times before...... Could it be that she really just took a fancy to her jade pendant?
Zong Lu talked to himself about the surprises brought to him by several other corpses, and a small ripple had already appeared in Cen Zhaohou's heart, which had always been as steady as stagnant water.
Friends over there gathered to discuss the case, and here two sworn enemies who were allied by interests also sat together.
Now, except for Cen Zhaohou, the twelve officials on the assassination list have all died violently, and in terms of the pivotal position of the generals and horses, Yun Sha's assassination plan is only half completed.
Moreover, the imperial court ordered Cen Zhaohou to investigate the case thoroughly, which was by no means a good thing for her.
is as witty as Cen Zhaohou, and it took a lot of effort for Jasmine to die tragically, and it took a lot of twists and turns for her to get rid of suspicion.
Although she has absolute confidence in her poisoning methods, she will not let others find the slightest trace of her, but ...... The tragic death of the official occurred after the Hundred Flowers Banquet......
Based on Cen Zhaohou's meticulousness, she guessed that the officials and their dependents should have been interrogated, and she still looked at the faces and names of those female dependents.
The small gift for the ladies on that day was the branch of the September cherry blossoms, which can still bloom for a month even if they are picked, which is very rare and is a rare decoration.
And some of the female dependents' September Sakura have been specially treated by her, and ordinary people can't see any difference, only people like them who specialize in poisons can find out what's strange in it.
There are many tricks for Yunsha to poison, and one of the most ingenious tricks is the original poisoning secret technique created by Ghost Claw, which is called "fighting cattle across the mountain".
As the name suggests, this method of poisoning does not directly poison the target, but rather through the body of another person, so intimacy between the two is a prerequisite.
In fact, it is to delay the time of poisoning through "that kind of thing", so as to unknowingly put the poisoning target to death.
The poison of the twelve important ministers is different, but they all have a medicine to achieve the purpose of "fighting cattle across the mountain", this medicine is called Kongxisan, which is made by drying and grinding a herb that exudes the fragrance of a woman's body.
The magic of this medicine is in the word "control", which can provoke people's lust and make people unable to control themselves, and can be used with other drugs to suppress the medicinal properties of other drugs, and at the same time do not destroy their medicinal properties, until the love between men and women is relieved of the "control" effect of control, and the medicinal properties of other drugs will be exerted in another person's body.
As a carrier of the drug, the person will not be harmed by the residual effect of the drug as a barrier.
In the face of the September cherry blossoms attached to the control of desire and the beautiful young woman with a pleasant fragrance, only an extremely experienced drug user can tell where is the woman's fragrance emanating from the control desire, and where is the real woman's body fragrance.
Without more than ten years of experience in using drugs, there would never be such a sensitive and terrifying sense of smell.
It's just that...... She thought of that gloomy and disastrous face like a dead corpse - the law of the sect was not an easy corner to deal with.
