Chapter 385: Poison
Cui Zhongyong was worried: "If the border army mutinies, we will become prisoners." ”
Besides, he sneered: "Don't worry, Lord Cui, a mere chief military officer has no ability to make us prisoners." ”
His words are very cold, but also very firm, he has this confidence, Li Zhipeng's subordinates are five commanders, up to 25,000 people, and only about 10,000 people can fight well, if they really go into battle, besides, they are sure to solve these 25,000 people in one morning.
His brocade sixth guard was trained according to the model of special operations forces, and the level of elite was bound to be beyond the reach of ordinary border troops.
"It's good that Lord Qincha has this confidence, to be honest, this official is also a little worried." Cao Delin sighed.
At this time, the hall had been cleaned up, the corpses had been moved and put into the coffin, and a large amount of ice was piled up around it, and many people felt a little sorry that the ice cubes were very precious items, but they were used to preserve the two corpses, which was really ruined.
However, the bodies of these two men are important evidence that cannot be damaged and must be preserved at all costs.
If the case had been closed here, there would have been no such troubles, but now that the case has not been closed, it is up to the Beijing Sanfa Division to decide whether to continue the investigation. Two officials have disappeared from the imperial court, and this kind of thing must be explained, and it is impossible to go unresolved like ordinary unsolved cases.
This is the difference between an official and a citizen, if it were an ordinary criminal case, it would have been hung up and put on the shelf, and the file could only be placed in some invisible corner and covered with dust.
Besides, please go into the hall and take your seats, and then announce an order.
"We can't be dragged down by these things, we must try to complete the exchange with the Tatar mission within a few days, and then enter the outside of the Seychelles. How to deal with the affairs of the two of them, wait for the next will of the imperial court, we can also receive it on the road. ”
The officials had no problem with this, they had had enough of staying here, all kinds of strange things happened so often that even a good night's sleep became a luxury dream, it was better to sleep in a tent outside the plug, count the stars and the moon and fall asleep.
"Lord Chincha, what should I do here?" Gavin Tiger asked.
"Leave the matter here to Governor Wang and Qi Shuai to deal with the aftermath." Besides.
Everyone laughed in their hearts, feeling that it was too inauthentic, and they caused a lot of trouble, but they asked Wang Chonggu and Qi Jiguang to wipe his ass in the back. But besides, there are a lot of things like this, in Beijing, the emperor and Zhang Juzheng are following behind his ass to help him take care of the aftermath, and he is used to this.
However, strictly speaking, this incident has nothing to do with the situation, and it has little to do with Cao Delin, they can be said to be cautious and cautious in the trial of this case, and they don't want to touch the nerves of the border army, but they still fell into the trap of others, what can be done.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back and pack your bags, don't go out to visit friends and drink these days, if there is anything that must go out, be sure to tell me first, and I will arrange the escort before I can travel. Safety first, no shame. And he gave another command.
He is also really afraid, in case he loses two or three more officials at this juncture, what kind of sentence will he talk about, just go back to his home, in that case, not to mention the guilt, but the shame will be thrown to the Tatar country.
At noon, Zhou Dingcheng and Xiao Junle came back and told them that they had made another deal, and it was still 20,000 taels of silver.
"Brother, you have made a small profit, the silver is in Brother Zhuo's hands, when he comes back to you, there may be someone to buy in the afternoon. These grandsons, seeing them pay out of their pockets to buy these fakes of yours like fools, I am really happy in my heart. Xiao Jun said with a smile.
Zhou Dingcheng also smiled: "I said let's change careers in the future, specializing in making and selling counterfeits, this industry is not profitable." ”
"Are you a little promising, and this little profit makes you tempted?" Jun laughed at him.
"Aren't you tempted too?" Zhou Dingcheng was not convinced.
"What makes me tempted is not the silver, but the cheap appearance of those grandsons who took out the only silver on their bodies to buy fakes and was happy, I can't look down on that bit of silver, when is there such a deal as the Zheng family in Fuzhou, it is worth doing a big job, and it is addictive." Jun smiled.
"You two don't talk about it yet, you're still happy, something big is happening here." Besides, he said with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong? Dead? "Xiao Jun said.
"It's not really a dead person, and two of them died together, it's really unlucky." And sigh.
The two of them were confused, and quickly asked what was going on, and they just said it briefly.
Zhou Dingcheng stomped his feet and sighed, this regret, how can it be so coincidental, he just went out this morning, and this kind of thing happened.
"I knew this was the case, I didn't go out, if I was here, how could there be room for that grandson to be rampant."
"Come on, your presence may not be useful, Rong Zhongjun assassinated Liao Bingxun and then committed suicide by poisoning, it was only a few seconds, maybe if Xiaojun was there, it might be possible to prevent this from happening." Besides.
Xiao Jun smiled bitterly: "It's useless for me to be here, this kind of thing is calculated or not, who would have thought about it." He took out a knife to kill and commit suicide, and he did it in one go, and the gods did not have a problem. ”
Besides, I don't think so, Xiao Jun is clumsy, and this guy's water is also deep, even Murong Yanran doesn't know how high his skills are.
However, from the fact that he was able to chase many masters all the way, he fled from Suzhou to Changbai Mountain, from Changbai Mountain to Hala and Lin, and then fled to Turpan, and finally fled to Guangzhou.
If it were Murong Yanran, she might not flee at all, but fight to the death with the enemy, even if she is defeated, she will have to fight to the death of a few top masters, this is the difference in personal style, and it cannot be said which of these two has higher martial arts.
Comparatively speaking, I always think that Xiaojun is more unfathomable.
"Why does this smell like the White Lotus Sect?" Xiaojun said suddenly.
"White Lotus Sect?" Besides, he was surprised.
"yes, I don't know what's going on, it seems that I smell the White Lotus Sect from this matter, they like to do this kind of thing the most." Xiaojun has had a lot of dealings with the White Lotus Sect outside the Saiwai, but he has not had any bad dealings, but he also knows a lot about the White Lotus Sect's style of doing things.
"Well, it's possible." Besides, he groaned.
"Rong Zhongjun is Li Zhipeng's first confidant, I remember hearing that the White Lotus Sect had dealings with some border generals when I was in the capital, could it be that this Li Zhipeng is one of them? If so, then it's really annoying. ”
"This is just speculation, after all, there is no conclusive evidence whether Rong Zhongjun is the instigator of Li Zhipeng, and this kind of thing will be mistaken just by guessing." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"It's true that we don't have any evidence, except for two corpses in our hands now, which is this poison." Moreover, he opened his hand, revealing the wax pill that he had been holding in the palm of his hand.
"This is the poison that Rong Zhongjun used to commit suicide?" Zhou Dingcheng asked.
"Well, he originally wanted to bite through the wax seal and commit suicide, but in the end he chose to die under the knife of our guards, and he wanted to frame us when he died, and his heart can be punished." Besides, he hated it.
"You can't find anything with a single poison, there are too many pharmacies that can make poisons." Zhou Dingcheng said disappointedly.
"It doesn't matter if he's useful or not, it's always right to check first." Besides.
He carefully peeled back the wax pill on the table, revealing the dark pill the size of a finger's belly.
He sniffed it and immediately closed the wax pill again.
"It's not good, it's a drag." He exclaimed.
"What? Drag the poison? No way. Jun also lost his voice.
"What's the poison?" Zhou Dingcheng really hasn't heard of it.
"It is said that the poison is synthesized with peacock feathers and several other highly toxic drugs, and there is no antidote to death, but the person who commits suicide is extremely painful, and the whole person is confined into a twist, and the muscles and bones will be twisted and deformed." And the color changer.
He had never seen this poison, but he was familiar with pharmacology and toxicology, so he naturally had a theoretical understanding of this poison.
"With such a vicious poison, who used this to commit suicide? Silly. Zhou Dingcheng couldn't believe it.
Besides, he smiled bitterly: "It is estimated that Rong Zhongjun doesn't know that this is a drug, but it is wise for him to choose to be killed by the guards, and he has suffered too many crimes." ”
"Are you sure it's a drag?" Xiao Jun suddenly asked solemnly.
"It's not a 100% guarantee, but it can be verified, let someone catch a wild dog, feed the wild dog to eat, and you will know what kind of poison it is." Besides.
Of course, poison cannot be tested on by humans, and can only be used as guinea pigs in the streets.
A few guards went out into the street, and in a short time they caught a dirty, unsightly wild dog, skinny, who had not eaten food for many days.
The wild dogs also seem to realize something, and they are tied up strongly, and they keep struggling, barking wildly, unwilling to accept the impending doom.
Besides, he handed the poison to Zhou Dingcheng and said with a smile: "It's better for you to come, I can't do it." ”
"Big bad wolf, fake mercy." Jiu Niang sneered on the side.
Murong Yanran and Jiu Niang were also alarmed when they heard that the poison might be a drug, but they didn't know this kind of thing, and they didn't dare to test the poison themselves.
If it is another poison, even if it is highly toxic, it can also prepare an antidote, and then put the poison antidote together for cats and dogs to take, and you can see the difference, if it is okay, then it means that the antidote is right, and the poison can naturally be confirmed.
But there is absolutely no antidote to the poison, and if you take this thing, you will definitely die.
The person who gave Rong Zhongjun this poison probably knew that he was a miracle doctor, proficient in pharmacology and toxicology, and would definitely not leave him a chance to detoxify.
The two guards used wooden sticks to open the wild dog's mouth, and then Zhou Dingcheng quickly threw the wax pill directly into the wild dog's throat, and it entered the stomach with a grunt.
Everyone waited with bated breath to see the results, the poison was definitely deadly, but if the wild dog did not show the symptoms mentioned above, it means that it is not a poison.
