The eunuch Haitao is the master of ceremonies and eunuchs, as early as when the current emperor was the prince of Yanwang, Haitao was in the prince's mansion, and most of the eunuchs in the palace knew him.

Haitao took the emperor's handwritten decree and entered the two doors guarded by eunuchs; Xue Yan, Haitao, and Tan Qing all walked into a room, and then they saw Concubine Guo.

"Whoa......" There was a sound of chains dragging around! Concubine Guo heard someone coming in and seemed to have taken two steps, and she was actually wearing shackles on her feet!

Xue Yan didn't expect that Concubine Guo, who gave birth to a prince, would be treated like this! Perhaps, with her identity, she can only end up like this if she is involved in murdering the first emperor?

It can be seen that the saint, as well as those who know the inside story, are very suspicious that Concubine Guo is the murderer; At the moment she is the most suspected.

Concubine Guo should have seen Xue Yan on some occasions. As early as when Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, was alive, Xue Yan had a good relationship with the Guo family; Later, Xue Yan acted as a matchmaker for the Guo family and made the Guo family marry the first emperor's family, and often went in and out of the Guo Mansion.

"It's hell here." Concubine Guo's gaze came out of her messy hair, staring at Xue Yan alone. It seems that she does know Xue Yan, and she is not crazy.

Xue Yan calmed down and bowed his hand and said, "Xue Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, Xiaguan, will meet you." ”

Xue Yan neglected a detail in advance, and suddenly didn't know what to call her. Her husband is already the emperor, but he didn't give her the title.

Haitao and Tan Qing also clasped their fists one after another.

"I was wronged, why did you do this to me?!" Concubine Guo stared at Xue Yan and said.

Xue Yan said: "If what you said is true, the lower official is here to clear your grievances." ”

Concubine Guo suddenly sneered: "Clearing grievances? Hum! I kind of understood, that incident was deliberately planted from beginning to end! They have been preparing for a long time, how to wash? Who are you? ”

Xue Yan thought for a while and replied, "Xia Guan is a saint. Xia Guan is the Dali Temple of the Ming Dynasty, and he only asks about the rights and wrongs of the world, and does not ask about anything else. ”

Concubine Guo said: "They are bold and reckless, they have no scruples, and even the flesh and blood of the saint dare to attack, first conspiracy to cause me to have a miscarriage!" Later, I learned that I had a grudge and found a witness; They killed the palace maid involved in the incident, Luo'er, and threatened me, telling me not to think about myself, but also to accumulate virtue for Zhan Kai!

At first, I thought that they were going to do something to Zhan Kai again, but how could I think ...... I still underestimate their boldness. ”

Xue Yan smelled something useful, and immediately took out a dense scroll and a brush from his arms, dipped it on his tongue a few times, and was busy writing.

Seeing this, the eunuch Haitao said: "General Tan is watching here, and our family asked someone to find ink for Xue Siqing." ”

"Who are 'they'?" Xue Yan asked.

Concubine Guo sneered: "Who else can it be?" The man who now sits on the queen's throne, and one of her henchmen! Xue Siqing's side is the eunuch, isn't it? And this person called 'General Tan', who is from the Tan family? Tan Yuan's son of his family killed someone, who saved his life? ”

Haitao and Tan Qing's faces suddenly darkened.

Xue Yan wrote it down quietly, and then asked: "You just said that you were deliberate and prepared, what do you mean?" ”

Concubine Guo sat down on a stool, thought for a while, and spoke: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that the first emperor died because he was stabbed by the venomous needle of the silver snake? Before the incident, our Guo family had a relationship with the silver krait!

At that time, Zhan Kai suffered from pediatric convulsions, but there was no prescription for the imperial doctor to make wine for the silver krait. Huh! It just so happened that my father met an unknown monk and offered to offer the silver krait medicinal wine, and then my father sent it to the East Palace.

After the silver snake soaked in wine, of course, it was not poisonous, and the imperial doctor also said that it could indeed cure convulsions in children; But our Guo family has a silver krait, and the death of the first emperor is related to the venom of the silver snake, how can the Guo family say clearly?

I realized it was an afterthought, and it took a few days to wake up, how could things be so coincidental? This was all premeditated! From the very beginning, they wanted to blame the Guo family for the catastrophe!

But Xue Siqing thought about it, if I want to use the silver snake venom to murder the first emperor or Zhanji; You must be afraid of getting involved with the silver krait, how can you be defenseless? ”

Reasonable!

Although Xue Yan didn't say anything, his head nodded slightly. The inkstone with ink was brought over, and he dipped his pen twice as he continued to write quickly on the scroll.

After asking Concubine Guo what she knew, Xue Yan took her leave.

Concubine Guo was still crying and scolding in the house, angry for a while, guilty for a while, and talking about her hurting the Guo family.

Walking out of the courtyard, the eunuch Haitao immediately said: "Xue Siqing can't believe her words, she's crazy!" The queen mother was already the crown princess and had the eldest son at that time, how could she take such a risk? What's more, the queen has always been generous and merciful......"

Xue Yan said: "Let's investigate the big case, even if we don't care about the queen's mother's grace and virtue in the world, I also think that there are some problems with Concubine Guo's accusation." How did that poison needle get into the mud? ”

Haitao was stunned for a moment.

Xue Yan glanced at Haitao, and then said: "At present, it seems that there are only two ways to put the poison needle in the mud: either put it in advance, or Wang Gou'er did it.

If, let's just assume that this is the Queen's order. First, put it away in advance; The eldest prince often plays there, isn't the queen afraid not to hurt the eldest prince? second, the king dog put it; Then Wang Gou'er should be the queen's henchman. ”

Haitao hurriedly said: "When the first emperor was still in the Yan Palace, Wang Gou'er was a close eunuch around the first emperor, how could it have anything to do with the current queen's mother?" Before the death of the first emperor, Wang Gou'er was in charge of the imperial kitchen, and the first emperor was wise and martial, how could he use the queen's mother to manage the imperial kitchen? ”

Xue Yan said quietly: "Therefore, things can't be easily decided. ”

…… The group walked out of the palace, out of the Chengtian Gate, to the outer five dragon bridge.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves of "da-da......", followed by a loud "boom" and a fall. Xue Yan looked sideways and saw a knight falling next to the right gate of Chang'an, the horse fell to the ground and twitched, and the knight was screaming loudly.

Running horses in the imperial city has to be a serious emergency.

The knight shouted to the defenders at the right gate of Chang'an: "Eight hundred miles urgent!" Brother help me, I'm going to the General Administration. ”

Xue Yan looked around for a while, then turned to the people around him and said, "I'm afraid that the news that there are rebels on the front line has come." ”

Haitao and Tan Qing both nodded.

The mood of the three of them was a little heavy, and they silently crossed the Waiwulong Bridge, and then walked through the left gate of Chang'an, walked east, and went to the Tai Hospital. Xue Yan greeted the officials on duty at the Tai Hospital, and then went straight into a study inside and invited the medical officer Li he knew to come and meet.

Xue Yan took out the secret scroll and prepared the study. When Doctor Li came to salute, Xue Yan didn't say a word, hugged his fists in return, and said directly: "Please ask Doctor Li to talk about the venom of the silver snake again." ”

Medical Officer Li cautiously bowed again and said, "The venom of the silver snake is highly venomous, and even the tiny amount of venom, even invisible to the eye, can kill people!"

Those who are bitten by the krait snake have symptoms of paralysis, drowsiness, dilated pupils, difficulty in speaking, or vomiting and nausea; His pulse fails, and he has difficulty exhaling and inhaling until he dies.

Poisoned, there is no cure! Soon he fell into a coma and suspended animation, and after being bitten by a snake for several hours, he may have died completely. ”

Xue Yan nodded while writing hard.

Medical Officer Li continued: "However, although the silver krait snake is venomous, it is mostly due to the bite of a live snake; Moreover, the krait snake is relatively docile and will not take the initiative to bite people, so it is not common for the krait to kill people.

It is only because the venom of the silver krait snake has great limitations, one of which is that oral administration is ineffective, and blood must be seen to cause poisoning. Second, after the snake venom is removed from the snake's mouth, the toxicity is easily attenuated until it is non-venomous. ”

The poisoning of the first emperor was caused by a poisonous needle, and of course it was not a live snake bite. Therefore, Xue Yan asked: "After taking out the Shekou, how long can it be kept?" ”

Doctor Li said: "One day and one night...... However, the hospital has done experiments, if the snake venom is taken out of the snake's mouth and stored in ice, it can remain toxic for half a month at most. ”

Xue Yan nodded lightly and thought for a while while holding the pen. Based on Dr. Li's description, he made a hypothetical speculation......

There is no silver krait in the city. The mastermind must first catch the live snake in Zhili, Zhejiang or other provinces, raise it and try to transport it into the city; Then take the venom from outside the imperial city, store it with ice in the ice cellar, and then try to send it to the palace.

Because the search in and out of the palace is very strict, it is impossible for a live snake to get into the palace! And the amount of venom is small, and ordinary means, even if you ask the mouth to taste it, you will definitely not find out that it is venom...... So Xue Yan's speculation was that it was more likely to directly transport venom into the palace.

The frozen venom will remain in the palace for fifteen days, and if the murderer does not find a chance, the venom will be transported into the palace from the outside; Or every ten days, the snake venom will be transported, so as to ensure that the murderer in the palace has always stored poisonous liquid!

And according to many witnesses of the poisonous needle, the poisonous needle was rusty.

The iron needles are rusty, of course, not because they are buried in the pool; Snake venom doesn't last that long in the mud. There is only one possibility, the iron needle is originally a rusty needle; Because rust absorbs water, after soaking in venom, it can be stained with more venom, making it easier to succeed!

The wet mud that can be kneaded into a mud figure is of course not a thin mud, it should be relatively dry, and it is difficult to dilute the venom; Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the poison needle was placed in advance and several hours have passed.

Xue Yan has so far deduced: It is possible for the murderer to kill the king with the venom of the silver krait!

"There's Dr. Lao Lee." Xue Yan put down the brush and bowed his hand.

Medical Officer Li hurriedly said: "This is the duty of the lower officials, and the lower officials will leave." ”

Doctor Li said, glanced at the celebrant eunuch and the commander of the Jinyi guard, and left without asking any extra words.
