Elder Suzaku also frowned and said, "The Black Lotus Holy Sect suddenly appeared in Gyeonggi, and our beggar gang was also very surprised. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Hou Ye is right, since the establishment of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, he has rarely left Xichuan, and even if there are people who go to the Central Plains, they all hide their identities, but they have not caused trouble in the Central Plains. This time they ran to the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and it must have been for a great reason. ”

Qi Ning thought for a moment before he said: "Elder Suzaku, you are an old-timer in the rivers and lakes, and the beggar gang is also the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, with your experience, what gang forces in the rivers and lakes dare to confront the imperial court?" ”

"This ......!" Elder Suzaku was obviously surprised by Qi Ning's question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Qi Ning said: "Actually, I know very well in my heart that the rivers and lakes pay attention to happiness and enmity, and many people don't like to be constrained by rules and regulations, and I also know that many people even disdain the imperial court, and dislike the imperial court's involvement in the rivers and lakes." I want to ask you, in this world, what gang would dare to confront the imperial court? ”

Elder Suzaku hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "Master Hou, from the bottom of my heart, some officials in the imperial court bullied the people, and some righteous people on the rivers and lakes looked down on them and started to be angry for the people, and there were others, but even so, it was all incognito, and no one really dared to show their identity and confront the imperial court." In fact, the bigger the gang on the rivers and lakes, the more cautious they are, firstly, because the larger gangs in the rivers and lakes are all watched by the imperial court, and secondly, once the gang is big, there are too many people involved, and if you do it against the imperial court, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"In this way, there are actually few gangs on the rivers and lakes that dare to confront the imperial court." Qi Ning touched his chin and said, "Then do you think the Black Lotus Holy Sect has the guts?" ”

"The old name Hanako doesn't know much about the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but ...... I think the Black Lotus Holy Sect should not dare to confront the imperial court. Elder Suzaku said thoughtfully: "After all, they are border gangs, and the imperial court is not unkind to them. ”

Qi Ning frowned slightly, a smile appeared on his lips, and he smiled and whispered: "Then the Black Lotus Holy Sect poisoned this time and harmed countless people, isn't it blatantly confronting the imperial court?" Whether it's the Shenhou Mansion or your beggar gang, they all found out that the poison came from the Black Lotus Holy Sect in just one day, don't you think this thing is a little weird? ”

"What does Master Hou mean?" Elder Suzaku frowned.

Qi Ning said: "If the Black Lotus Holy Sect is just to deal with your beggar gang, as long as it is against your beggar gang, why bother to involve innocent people and ask for trouble?" ”

Elder Suzaku was thoughtful.

"Of course, I can't be sure what happened." Qi Ning said softly: "I just feel that there is something strange in this, Elder Vermilion Bird, you are in the rivers and lakes, and the information is relatively well-informed, I mean, you can secretly investigate, is there another hidden meaning in this matter, if someone pretends to be the name of the Black Lotus Holy Sect to do something to you, and has other plans, but we are the real murderer behind the scenes, aren't we secretly ridiculed by the real murderer?" ”

Elder Suzaku bowed slightly, and said, "Master Hou, when you say this, the old man Hanako also thinks that things are not so simple. He got up and said, "Master Hou, I always told Hanako to leave first, and I will send someone to investigate secretly when you turn around." ”

"It's fine." Qi Ning bowed his head and said: "If I find a way to detoxify here, I will immediately send someone to Luoguxiang." ”

"I always called the brothers in the Huazi Gang to thank Master Hou first." Elder Suzaku arched his hand, didn't stay long, and went out to leave.

The others were busy at this time, but this was Dr. Song who played a great role, Tang Nuo didn't have to go in and out in person, Dr. Song assisted Tang Nuo in the house, and came out from time to time to tell him how to decoct the medicine, Zhao Wuxian and others held a bamboo tube in the back, and desperately blew the fire on the stove, and the decoction was brought into the house by Dr. Song.

Qi Ning knew that Tang Nuo had already begun to prepare the antidote, but this poison was very special, so it was not possible to determine the antidote at once, and Tang Nuo was conducting a combination test of the antidote.

When Duan Canghai came back, Tang Nuo's side had already tried seven or eight methods of detoxification, but the results were obviously all failures.

"All the herbs you need have been returned?" After Duan Canghai entered the house, Qi Ning immediately asked.

Duan Canghai was a little embarrassed and said, "Master Hou, we have found a lot of places, and most of them have already been obtained, and now ...... Now there are only two herbs missing. ”

"It can't be the two flavors of medicine from the Tian family's medicine store, right?"

Duan Canghai was even more embarrassed, but he could only nod and say: "The two flavors of medicinal herbs such as Ghost Eye Grass and Wind Bone are indeed rare, and several big pharmacies have also heard of them, but they all say that these two flavors of medicinal materials are rarely used, and they can't be sold at a good price, so they are not in stock." ”

"Then you went to find the Tian family medicine store?"

Duan Canghai said: "I found Tianfu, Mrs. Tian has already slept, but when I saw their housekeeper, Steward Tian also said no." ”

"Really?" Qi Ning frowned.

Duan Canghai hesitated for a moment before he said, "Master Hou, I feel that the Tian family did it on purpose, and when I left, I saw Mrs. Tian hiding behind the window. ”

Qi Ning was a little annoyed and said, "Doesn't that woman know that this is to save her life?" ”

Duan Canghai sighed: "Master Hou, it seems that the Tian family has misunderstood us a lot, and the Tian housekeeper is also lukewarm, and he doesn't seem to want to talk to us." ”

Qi Ning knew that since Tang Nuo ordered these two medicinal materials, it was indispensable, and now that Tang Nuo was making every effort to refine the antidote, he could not be negligent in his logistics work, and said: "They must have deliberately concealed it, no, I'll go by myself." Without saying much, he went out and Duan Canghai ran back and forth, although he was tired, he was still worried about Qi Ning's safety, so he could only follow along.

The horse was flying, Qi Ning knew where Tianfu was, and arrived at Tianfu non-stop, signaling Duan Canghai to go over and knock on the door, the door of the mansion was wide open, and the one who opened the door said angrily: "In the middle of the night, don't let people sleep?" Seeing Duan Canghai, he frowned and said, "Why are you again?" ”

Before Duan Canghai could speak, Qi Ning had already stepped forward, pushed the door open, and said directly: "Go and ask your wife to come out, if you don't come out, you will die." He had been here once, and he was very familiar with Tianfu, so he went straight to the other side of the hall, and sat down with a golden knife.

It didn't take long for Steward Tian, who I saw last time, to come over, and when he saw Qi Ning, he saluted and said, "Isn't this Master Hou?" I don't know what to command? He glanced at Duan Canghai on the side and knew it.

"Steward Tian, your old man is old, and in the middle of the night, your brain may be confused, and your memory is not very good, so I won't tell you more." Qi Ning knew that it was useless for Hotan Steward to be verbose, but he wanted to delay time, so he simply said neatly: "Go and hand over your wife, Ben Hou has something urgent to find her." ”

Steward Tian smiled and said, "Master Hou, madam...... Madame has already fallen asleep, she is tired, and the rules of the house, once Madame sleeps, no one can disturb her. ”

"Do you know that if she avoids it again, she will die?" Qi Ning stared at Steward Tian and said coldly.

Steward Tian was stunned for a moment, a trace of horror crossed his eyes, but he still said, "Master Hou, let's ....... No one in our house has broken the law, and ...... How can a person die? ”

Qi Ning was a little anxious in his heart, got up, and said, "Which courtyard does Mrs. Tian live in, and you take me there?" ”

Time waits for no one, every day of delay, there will be many people who die of poison, Tang Nuo is going all out, Qi Ning knows that he can't have the slightest delay, although this late night suddenly broke into the Tian Mansion, even if he is a marquis, it is indeed very inappropriate, but he knows that this Mrs. Tian has the intention to get along with him, if he discusses it slowly, he is afraid that he will not be able to get the medicinal materials tomorrow.

Steward Tian was obviously instructed by Mrs. Tian, and said slowly: "Master Hou, Madame has really fallen asleep, we can't bother, if there is really an emergency, wait for Madame to wake up, let Madame go to the Hou Mansion ......!" ”

"Old butler, if you are long-winded, you will bring a monstrous disaster to your Tian family." Qi Ning threatened: "This matter has already been asked by the imperial court, if you ruin the major affairs of the imperial court, this marquis only asks if your Tian family can afford it??" ”

Steward Tian was stunned for a moment, and saw Qi Ning's solemn expression, not like he was joking, thinking that it was just two medicinal herbs, how could it be related to the major affairs of the imperial court?

Duan Canghai also said in a deep voice: "Old housekeeper, don't delay any longer, you don't want to think about it, if it wasn't a major event in the imperial court, why did Hou Ye and I come over repeatedly?" In the middle of the night, Hou Ye should have rested, why did he come to all the time? It's just two herbs, do you think it's a trivial matter, so necessary to make a big move? ”

Steward Tian was a little panicked at this time.

Although the strength of the Tian family's medicine store in the capital is not weak, in the eyes of the imperial court, it is just a small shrimp, if it really hurts the affairs of the imperial court, Steward Tian also knows that the consequences are unimaginable.

"Old butler, Madame sleeps, in fact, we don't really have to disturb her." Qi Ning said: "You just need to tell me, Ghost Eye Grass and Wind Bone, do you have any inventory?" As long as you can bring these two herbs to Ben Hou, we can not disturb Mrs. Tian. ”

The old housekeeper lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, the affairs of the medicine store are all ...... It's all the lady who calls the shots, the villain...... The villain doesn't dare to make decisions indiscriminately. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ning and Duan Canghai glanced at each other, and they had a number in their hearts.

"Okay, you take me to Mrs. Tian's yard." Qi Ning said coldly: "If you have to delay any longer, you won't be able to get out of it." ”

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand and said, "Master Hou, please!" ”

He led the way in front, although he was old, but he was not slow to walk, turned to the outside of a courtyard gate on the east side, pointed to the courtyard and said, "Master Hou, madam...... Madame lives here, and without Madame's orders, we as subordinates cannot enter the courtyard. ”

Qi Ning saw that the courtyard door was hidden and really didn't close it, knowing that it was indeed a violation of etiquette for the third watch to break into the courtyard of a woman's house in the middle of the night, but when he thought that Tang Nuo was sleepless day and night looking for an antidote, and there were countless people waiting for the antidote, he could only be informal and whispered: "You guys are waiting here." Pushing the door into the courtyard, looking up, I saw that the left wing of the courtyard was still lit, and I knew that Mrs. Tian was not asleep inside.
