[Chapter 25: Xinlan Grass, Guijie Poisonous Dragon]

Gui Street is located in Shangzenbo, south of Kyoto, next to Kyoto's Heavenly Gate. It is a street where Hu and Han live together.

Regardless of the era, mixed settlements generally symbolize poverty, backwardness, and barbarism. In fact, Gui Street is really messy. Cheating, cheating, stealing, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, as long as you can think of the next nine epidemics, you can find them here. The City Patrol Division is generally only managed during the day, and at night, this is the world of gangsters. Cheap goods that flow here from all over the world are in high demand here. Of course, cheap prostitutes of different skin tones are also an important reason for the prosperity of Gui Street.

If there is an underground business, it is inseparable from the vicious incident of grabbing land and fighting with weapons. Due to the mixed residence of Hu and Han here, the dragon and snake are mixed, and the jurisdiction of the City Patrol Division is somewhat weak. If there was a large-scale fight, as long as the area did not spread out of Gui Street, the officials of the City Patrol Division generally did not care, and most of them waited until dawn in the daytime, called a few coolies to pull the cart in to transport the corpses and the wounded out, and sent them to the Xingjiao Medical Hall near Gui Street.

These pedestrians are the most popular profession in Gui Street. These doctors are all regular graduates from various medical schools, but they may have had some medical accidents or offended a person they could not provoke, so they were forced to leave the regular hospital and open a medical clinic in such a chaotic place.

Such things existed in various regions of the Han Empire. Even some doctors from the Western Regions wandered here to earn a living. The doctors at these clinics are highly skilled and the fees are cheaper. Of course, most of the people who live here may not have the official status (equivalent to an ID card) issued by the Han Empire, and it will be much more convenient to come to this kind of place for treatment. Sick prostitutes and injured thugs are happy to spend their hard-earned money in such places.

Shi Laosan is one of these pedestrians. His real name is Shi Jing, Zi Lu, and he ranks third in the family, so he has the nickname Shi Laosan. He graduated from the Imperial University Medical School, entered the Imperial University Hospital as a medical officer at the age of 26, and obtained his qualification as a physician at the age of 32. was originally a promising career, but because of a treatment, he had bad intentions against a female patient, so he was dismissed from the hospital. Note that it is an "attempt", not an action. As for whether he had a bad "attempt" at that time, no one can say clearly. Shi Laosan himself was silent about this matter and refused to mention it again.

In Gui Street, Shi Lao Sanyi stayed for eight years. Burdened with the name of a "erotic/erotic doctor", except for prostitutes/women who have no money to treat diseases, there are really no women willing to come to him. He himself didn't look down on these women, so he had no other thoughts about curing the disease. At the age of forty, he is still alone.

He also has an old mother in his hometown in Qingzhou, but his mother doesn't know that her son has been dismissed from the hospital, and proudly shows off to the villagers how good her son is, and is now a doctor at the Imperial Hospital. Shi Laosan has no face to go home, but he still sends money back on time every month for his old mother. Although life is decadent, it is not impossible to live.

But one man's visit changed his life completely.

It was the summer of 985 in the Han Dynasty. (Finally, the era name appeared, celebrate one.) )

It's hot. Shi Laosan was resting on the operating table covered with a few rags. Sweat continued to flow from his body, and by the time he woke up, the already yellowed sheet was soaked. He was about to take this cloth outside to dry --- wash, but he was too lazy to wash it, anyway, no one from the government office would come to this kind of place to check the medical and health situation--- just at the door, a Hu man wrapped in a white cloth all over his body and only showing his eyes was about to come in.

As soon as he saw this outfit, Shi Laosan understood that he was afraid that there was business to do today.

This is evident from the Hu people of the caliphate. The Caliphate Kingdom is located in the south of the Han Dynasty and Rome, according to the map drawn by the Han Shengzu and the name set, it is in the Middle East of the world today, bordering the Persian Empire in the east and south directions, the Egyptian province of the Roman Empire in the north, and the sea in the west. The territory of the country is about the size of a state in Dahan. In the eyes of the Han Chinese, it is just a small country.

This country worships the god of Allah, and women must cover their whole body when they go out, only showing their eyes. Their bodies can only be seen by their husbands, and if they are shown by other men, they are unfaithful sluts and will be spurned by others. But because of this, prostitutes/women from the caliphate are generally in high demand. There were two or three Caliph women's leather and meat businesses on Gui Street, which were often full at night, and there were several duels for prostitution.

As for the reason for the popularity, it is naturally the dark psychology of men.

Shi Laosan has also been there twice because of the freshness of the picture. But then I didn't go. Because those women are wrapped in thick clothes all day long, and they don't like to take baths very much, they always have a bad smell on their bodies.

At first glance, Shi Laosan understood that he must have come to see a doctor. In Gui Street, the Caliph women are undoubtedly one of the most vulnerable groups.

"This nobleman, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Shi Laosan lifted the sweaty sheets and asked with a professional smile.

The so-called door-to-door is a guest, and these guests pay more happily, just rush this, Shi Laosan has no reason to be straight at others.

The person who came was wrapped in long, long, wide and wide clothes, couldn't see men and women, didn't speak, squeezed sideways into Shi Laosan's medical hall, and didn't care that there were no sheets on the operating table, just lay down on it.

"This nobleman, the sheets haven't been laid yet!"

Shi Laosan hurriedly rushed in with dirty sheets, but saw that the man had already lifted off the robe on his body, revealing an extremely smooth and exquisite body.

"This ......" Shi Laosan's eyes straightened all of a sudden. This is a woman, and an excellent woman! The whole body is as white as jade, two cherry fields and a piece of fragrant grass are extremely tempting--- grandma's, she has not even worn a single piece of clothing in her robe!

Shi Laosan was stunned at the time, and he didn't react for a long time. The woman still had a black veil over her face, so she couldn't really see it. I only heard her murmur in a sweet and waxy tone, "Doctor, I want your recipe for Xinlan grass...... Just swap my body, okay? ”

Xinlan grass is a kind of medicinal powder prepared by Shi Laosan himself. Treating gynecological diseases. It is Shi Laosan's unique secret medicine. The whole Guijie Street knows that Shi Laosan has this kind of medicinal powder, and the effect is unique. However, for the formula, it is definitely Shi Laosan's secret. There were many people who paid high prices to buy from him, and some people from high-ranking officials and dignitaries forced each other with power, but he didn't hand it over. Because the ingredients of Xinlan grass actually contain a lot of poppy juice! And the poppy is something that His Majesty the Holy Ancestor of the Han Dynasty explicitly forbids the dispensing of medicine, and once it is discovered, it will be copied and cut down all over the house, and it will not be tolerated!

Shi Laosan even said that even if he killed his mother, he would not hand over the secret recipe of Xinlan grass. But that day, as if he was in a ghost, he almost nodded in agreement.

Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, or maybe it's this perfect woman who makes Shi Laosan lose his soul...... Anyway, the recipe for the herb was taken away by the woman in the end.

On the fourth day, all 48 people in Guijie were killed, and all of them were women, children, and widows. After an investigation, the City Patrol Division found that the deceased had used Xinlan grass that day...... So the name of "Guijie Poison Dragon" spread. Shi Laosan became a murderer without any suspense!

During the subsequent interrogation, no matter how Shi Laosan recalled, he couldn't tell what the bearded woman in the caliph's robe looked like. In Gui Street, there is no one to find the caliph woman he described as having a perfect body. So, everyone decided that he was lying!

…………………… Dividing line ........................

"God is merciful, I was really wronged! The woman was like magic, she sucked me through that day, and for the next few days I stayed in the room to make up for sleep, and I rarely even went out of the door, let alone gave Xinlan grass to others......" Shi Laosan lay on the iron fence aggrievedly, his face full of grief and indignation.

"Did those dead really die from Xinlan poisoning?" Shi Qian also lay on the iron fence and listened with relish.

has lived in prison for so long, but Shi Laosan has never told others about this hidden story. If Shen Yun hadn't asked, he would probably have brought this matter to the grave.

Shi Laosan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know either." But listening to the situation of the deceased described by the prosecutors, it was indeed an overdose of poppy juice...... Hey, Shizi, why did your face change? ”

Shen Yun's face did change. Because he heard the poppy. What is a poppy? Coming from a modern age, no one knows the poppy better than him.

"That, cough, Zilu-kun, is the poppy juice good?"

"The prince doesn't have to be called so formal, we prisoners, how can we be called cousins! Just call me the third child...... I also got the poppy through Bai Xiaosheng, and you can ask him for the details. ”

Since confirming his identity, Shen Yun has received unanimous respect from these people. Shi Qian even helped Shen Yun open the handcuffs and leg irons, but he didn't open the prison. Shen Yun knew that he was still afraid of that "Boss Tu", so he didn't force it.

Bai Xiaosheng's rich baritone voice said: "Shizi, what are you asking Poppy for?" ”

Bai Xiaosheng, surnamed Bai, named Xiao, the word is born. It is known as "Bai Xiaosheng", which means that he knows everything about people or things on the rivers and lakes.

Shen Yun said: "I'm just curious. Why did the empire ban the circulation of opium poppies, and didn't that thing be used as an anesthetic? ”

Bai Xiaosheng said: "A small amount of opium poppy can indeed have an anesthetic effect, but its properties will make people dependent and extremely harmful to the body. Therefore, in the case of hemp boiling, few people will generally use it. There are only poppies on the rivers and lakes that can be used, and there is only the Tang Gate in Shuzhong. They are only refining opium poppy as a compound for the elixir. ”

Shen Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that people of this era have realized the dangers of opium poppies, and that's good.

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly said: "By the way, Shizi, after chatting for a long time, I still don't know why Shizi came here?" ”

It's a question that everyone cares about, but no one has dared to ask it. Shi Qian laughed over there: "Yo, there are still things you Bai Xiaosheng doesn't know?" That's a real surprise! ”

Bai Xiaosheng snorted coldly: "It's been more than a year since I came in, and you don't know the ability of this boss Tu, how did I learn about the outside world." But you, flea on the drum, don't think that you will be safe if you don't hand over that treasure of the Great Interior, tell you, the one you stole was the holy relic used by His Majesty the Holy Ancestor back then, unless you are willing to explain your whereabouts, otherwise you don't want to go out in this life! ”

The face of the drummer changed slightly, and he said, "What treasures, I haven't seen them." I just went to the Imperial City that day, but I didn't take anything......"

There was boos all around. Even Shi Laosan snorted and said: "Come on, you, the flea on the drum is also a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, and the thief is not empty, but your thief ancestor said it." I went to the Imperial Palace, and you haven't taken anything yet? Ghosts don't believe it, let alone Boss Tu! ”

Shen Yun looked at this thin and unattractive person with a slight surprise, and it was really a person who could not be good-looking. He also went to the Imperial Palace? Shen Yun had seen it when he came, the level of vigilance inside and outside the imperial city was definitely no less than that of Zhongnanhai, this kid was a talent!

Shi Qian waved his hand again and again: "Don't talk nonsense...... Hey, isn't it a matter of asking the world's son? How did it turn to me again? ”

"Yes, yes, Shizi, why did you come in?" Shi Laosan hurriedly asked.

Shen Yun thought for a moment and said, "My father was assassinated yesterday morning!" They said I instructed it! ”

Silence, absolute silence. Squatting outside the bar, Shi Qian seemed to lose consciousness. Shen Yun also felt that this situation was too weird, and couldn't help but "feed" a few times.

Everyone was silent and then made a noise--- ghost crying wolf!

"Who killed Bohai Hou? I'm going to kill his whole family!! ”

"My lord, why did you just leave! I haven't had time to repay you yet! ”

"Bai Xiaosheng, who is going to harm Bohai Hou, tell me quickly! I hacked him alive!! ”

"I ...... I don't know! Bai Xiaosheng was already sobbing.

……

The voices were noisy for a while. These felons were really enraged. Each of them has an unbearable history, all of them are not extremely vicious, but they are also men who are willing to cut their lives, and when they first heard that their great benefactor was assassinated, there were those who cried, and those who were angry were even more numerous.

Shen Yun hurriedly said: "Be quiet, be quiet, be careful of arguing with the jailer!" ”

Shi Qian was already sobbing with his head bowed, and only after a while did he say: "Don't worry, the guards in this Grade A prison are all deaf and dumb, otherwise they would have come in a long time ago...... Shizi, who wants to harm Bohai Hou? ”

Shi Laosan cried and cried: "You stinky flea, if the prince knows, how can you be imprisoned here?" He suddenly stopped crying, jumped up neatly and shouted, "I know a person who must know who harmed Bohai Hou!" ”

The crying in the prison suddenly stopped. Everyone shouted in unison, "Who is it?" ”

"Boss Tu!" There was a hint of trembling in Shi Laosan's strange voice, and that was because of fear. But more often than not, it is resolute.

Everyone reacted at once. Before Shen Yun came in, they had been instructed by "Boss Tu" to make sure that the new prisoner was killed in prison. Boss Tu must know something.

Shen Yun Huoran stood up and said, "Shi Qian, I want to see Boss Tu, where is he?" ”

Shi Qian ducked back a little with a little daunting, but then took another step forward and said, "Shizi, we can consider this matter in the long run......

"It's also a ball, the Marquis of Bohai is dead, and he even wants to kill the son...... Stinky flea, I don't care what you do, in short, I must ask Boss Tu for an explanation! Shi Laosan was the first to say.

"Yes, I have to ask him for an explanation!"

"Yes, the Marquis of Bohai waited for us to recreate the grace, and waited for us to complete the filial piety, if this matter is not revealed, then what face does he have to live in this world? ! Shi Laosan, I'll support you! ”

……

"Bai Xiaosheng, who is this Tu Boss? I want to see him! Shen Yun asked suddenly.

There was silence.

In the end, I only heard Bai Xiaosheng say in a categorical tone: "Tu Tianjiao, the commander of the Great Han Yulin Secret Guard!" If the prince wants to see him, I will arrange it! ”
