Chapter 233: Eruption
The hall was silent for a while, and even the sound of breathing was hard to hear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qi Ning's brows furrowed, his heart was shocked, he was already worried that this poison would be difficult to deal with, but at this time, listening to what Ximen Wuxian said, he knew that it was really difficult to find a way to find an antidote.
He originally had a lot of confidence in Tang Nuo, perhaps because Tang Nuo always had a calm and calm attitude that made Qi Ning think that the girl was full of confidence.
But when Simon said this, he knew that even Don Nuo would be afraid that it would be difficult to find a way to detoxify.
Since the establishment of the country, the Shenhou Mansion has continued to this day, and it has been dozens of years, dealing with the forces of the rivers and lakes all year round, and there is also a special Dan Weapon Office for this purpose.
Although no one had explained to Qi Ning what the duties of the Dan Weapon Division were, as the name suggests, Qi Ning knew that it must be used to research drugs and weapons.
Of course, the people recruited by the Shenhou Mansion will not be general, and there must be many pharmacy masters in the Dan Weapon Department, but there is nothing they can do about the Gu egg poison, which can also show the seriousness of the problem.
After a period of silence, Xuanyuan Po took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Master Hou, if it's just Gu egg poison, if we go all out, we may not be able to find a way, but this poison is only guided by Gu egg poison, and there are at least ten kinds of drugs integrated into it, in addition to Gu egg poison, we only find three other poisons at the moment." With a solemn expression, he said: "If you want to completely figure out the poison, and then mobilize all the experts in medicine, it will be a few months later at the earliest." ”
Qi Ning frowned and said, "After a few months, I'm afraid that the entire capital will be full of corpses and bones, and there will be no living people." His words, while exaggerated, were not alarmist.
Ximen Shenhou said: "For today's plan, we can only control the epidemic in Beijing first, so as not to expand, and in addition, on the one hand, we will recruit people to develop an antidote, and on the other hand, we will send people to find the Jiuxi Poison King!" ”
"Can the Nine Creek Poison King be in the capital?" Qi Ning asked, thinking that Arnau was a disciple of the Nine Creek Poison King, and there should be no doubt that Anau was in the capital, but he didn't know if the Nine Creek Poison King was also with Arnau.
Ximen Shenhou said: "The old man has already assigned people to search, but even if the Jiuxi Poison King did not come in person, at least his disciples are in the area of the capital." ”
"Commander Xue has sent people to block some roads in the capital." Qi Ning thought to himself that at this time, he just pulled Ximen Shenhou over, and if there was really a problem at that time, it would be better to let Ximen Wuxian help speak, "I think it will be very timely for Commander Xue to do this." ”
Ximen Shenhou smiled faintly and said: "Whether Xue Lingfeng blocks the road in the capital or not, our Shenhou Mansion has no right to ask, our responsibilities are different, our main duty is to find the murderer who poisoned us, and then try our best to find a way to detoxify and do our duty." ”
Qi Ning thought that you old thing was really cunning, and couldn't help but say: "Shenhou, with all due respect, it seems that this epidemic virus first came from the beggar gang. ”
Ximen Shenhou nodded and said: "Yes, the beggar gang has been quite wrong recently, the Shenhou Mansion has sent people to negotiate with them, they only say that it is the internal affairs of the beggar gang, and it will not affect the order of the capital." The Shenhou Mansion has always had a principle that unless the forces of the rivers and lakes endanger the imperial court, the Shenhou Mansion will not easily interfere in their internal affairs. After a pause, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "The rivers and lakes are too big, and the Shenhou Mansion is too small, not everything can be managed." ”
"So, the beggars are deliberately hiding the epidemic?" Qi Ning said lightly.
Ximen Shenhou bowed his head and said: "The beggar gang is not careful this time, and the Shenhou Mansion will naturally not turn a blind eye." Looking at Captain Wenqu, he said coldly: "Han Tianxiao, you have negotiated with the beggar gang, but you have not found anything strange inside, the old man will play the Ming court and participate in your dereliction of duty." ”
Wenqu Captain Han Tianxiao bowed his body and arched his hand: "Dereliction of duty, willing to be punished!" ”
Qi Ning knew that Ximen Shenhou also realized that this time the Shenhou Mansion was guilty of negligence, Han Tianxiao was nothing more than a scapegoat, and even if he really participated in a book, Han Tianxiao would not really be imprisoned, at most he would be punished.
At this time, he thought of Duan Canghai's speculation, and thought to himself that the Shenhou Mansion was really because of other things that had stumped his energy, and he was too negligent to the beggar gang.
It's just that I don't know what happened to the Shenhou Mansion that has been drained of energy.
"If the Jiuxi Poison King is really in the capital, then this matter has a lot to do with him." Qi Ning thought for a moment and asked softly, "Shenhou, can you be sure that the person who poisoned him is the Jiuxi Poison King or his disciples?" ”
Ximen Shenhou said solemnly: "Before it is completely confirmed, we can only say that the Jiuxi Poison King is the most suspicious. After a pause, he stroked his beard lightly, leaned slightly to Qi Ning's side, and said softly: "But there is Gu egg poison as proof, in the whole world, this kind of supreme poisonous Gu egg poison is only available in the Yin and Yang Realm, and only the Jiuxi Poison King can refine such a complex poison, except for him, there should be no one else." ”
Qi Ning bowed slightly, "In this way, the person who poisoned should be the Jiuxi Poison King, so there won't be much difference." He frowned and asked: "But Shenhou knows better than me, doing things needs a reason, and committing a crime also needs a motive, what is the purpose of the Jiuxi Poison King poisoning the capital?" The Nine Creek Poison King is a member of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, if the Nine Creek Poison King was poisoned, was it the Nine Creek Poison King's personal behavior, or was it the Black Lotus Holy Sect's doing? ”
"Master Hou, in your opinion, what kind of situation will it be?" Ximen Shenhou looked at Qi Ning.
Qi Ning thought to himself whether you were a god or Lao Tzu was a god marquis, shook his head and said, "I really don't know, I just have doubts in my heart." It stands to reason that the Black Lotus Holy Sect is far away in Bashu, there is no need for the tentacles to stretch out so long, and it is better to go to the capital to make such a big incident, wouldn't it be better to enjoy yourself in Bashu? He also picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and after putting it down, he continued: "Don't they know that if such a monstrous disaster is caused in Beijing, the imperial court can still let them go?" He smiled and said, "I see that the Nine Creek Poison King may be mentally abnormal, otherwise, if it is just to deal with the beggar gang, what is the need to make this kind of contagious poison, isn't it intentional to kill innocents indiscriminately and bring extinction to the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" ”
Several lieutenants of the Shenhou Mansion looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.
At this moment, he heard footsteps outside, and a clerk guarding the courtyard rushed to the door, knelt down on one knee, and said urgently: "Report to the gods, there is an urgent report!" ”
Xuanyuan Po glanced at Shenhou, Ximen Shenhou didn't speak, and then walked over, and the official muttered a few words to Xuanyuan Po and quickly retreated.
Xuanyuan Po returned to the hall and bowed his hand to the Shenhou of the West Gate: "Shenhou, I just got the news, and someone on Changshou Street suddenly rushed to the street like crazy, and it happened that someone was on the street at that time and was scratched by two. ”
Qi Ning's heart sank.
He knew in his heart that if it was just an ordinary crazy brawl, it would never be possible to report to Ximen Wuxian in a hurry.
"Is it the plague?" Simon Shenhou asked simply and clearly.
Xuanyuan Po nodded and said: "It has been determined that it is indeed an infected person with the epidemic virus, with red spots all over his body and blood blisters, which is completely consistent with the symptoms of the epidemic virus." ”
"How many people?"
"When it happened, there was only one." Xuanyuan said: "But the man shouted in the street, causing a commotion, and then two or three more came out. ”
Ximen Shenhou's expression was also very serious, and said: "In addition to the people from the Danqi Department, send all the manpower of the Shenhou Mansion to keep an eye on the portal of officials above the third grade, and also pay attention to the Dart Bureau Martial Arts Hall in the capital, if anyone has abnormal actions, come to report immediately." He got up and said to Qi Ning: "Master Hou, the palace door has been opened, the old man wants to enter the palace immediately, does Master Hou want to go to face the saint together?" ”
Qi Ning really wanted to go to see the little emperor and explain to him what was currently happening in the capital, but when he wanted to follow the old fox of Ximen Shenhou, it would be inconvenient to talk to the little emperor at that time, and he was even more worried that the old fox would take advantage of him, so he shook his head and said: "Although the Shenhou goes to face the saint, I still have some other things, and I will go to see the emperor after I deal with them." ”
Simon Shenhou bowed his head and said, "That's fine." He added: "Master Hou will not let the people in the house go out for the next two days, the riot has already begun, and it may not be able to be resolved in a day or two." ”
Qi Ning left the Shenhou Mansion and did not go back to the Jinyi Mansion directly, but went to Yong'an Hall.
Tang Nuo was still studying the corpse, but he didn't know if he had found the Gu egg poison, since the Shenhou Mansion had found it, he could go and explain it to Tang Nuo, so as to save time.
Along the way, the horses did not stop, and when they were about to reach Yong'an Hall, Qi Ning saw a commotion in front of him, reined in his horse, and saw several armored warriors of the Tiger God Battalion holding shields in their hands, and they were surrounding two crazy men, who were already disheveled and disheveled at this time, and rushed towards those Tiger God Camp warriors like crazy beasts.
Fortunately, these officers and soldiers were well-trained on weekdays, and although the two men were crazy, they could not touch the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers had shields in their hands, which could completely resist them.
"Master Hou, it should be the outbreak of the epidemic." Zhao Wushu also reined in his horse on the side of Qi Ning, with a grim expression: "It seems that Master Hou did not guess wrong, the epidemic virus really broke out." ”
Qi Ning's expression was solemn, he knew that what he had seen was just the beginning, and it was only the tip of the iceberg, the huge capital, at this moment, I was afraid that there were many places where a similar situation had already occurred.
At this time, it is already three poles in the sun, and if it is changed to usual, the streets and alleys are already full of people.
If it hadn't been for Xue Lingfeng found Xue Lingfeng in time last night, Xue Lingfeng immediately sent soldiers to inform the people of the grounding, and blocked many key streets, Qi Ning believed that the capital at this time would have been in chaos.
"Don't hurt them." One of the officers and soldiers shouted: "Don't be touched by them, knock them unconscious, tie them up and send them to Nanhe Lane to be locked up." ”
Seeing this, Qi Ning bowed slightly, it seems that Xue Lingfeng is indeed prepared, not only is his subordinates not allowed to harm the infected, but he has also prepared a place to resettle, then Nanhe Lane should be the place to place the infected.
The two men rushed wildly, and several officers and soldiers just surrounded them, and did not attack easily, and whenever the infected rushed over, they used their shields to block them back.
Suddenly, an officer and soldier found a gap, rushed up from behind, and punched a man in the back of the head, the man shook and soon went limp, and the soldier immediately grabbed the fainting man's foot and pulled it over, and another person on the side stepped forward to help and tied the man up with a rope.
