Ptomaine?

Yang Shouwen has only read it in novels, but he has never really seen it.

It's no wonder that in his previous life, he lived in a prosperous era, where had he seen such a strange thing. In Yang Shouwen's view, corpse poison should be an infectious germ. But what happens if you are infected by corpse poison? He really doesn't know.

"Old Yang, are you sure?"

"Seventy percent is certain."

In Yang Shouwen's mind, the words 'Imperial Treasure' immediately flashed.

Where did those beggars get the corpse poison? Could it be those people who have already started digging up the Imperial Treasure?

Come to think of it, this doesn't seem like a surprise.

The burial place of the Huangtai treasure must be full of mechanisms, and if the other party wants to get the treasure, they need enough people to dig it......

Wait!

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Yang Shouwen's mind, as if he had thought of something.

"A-a-a, a-lang?"

Yang Siqiao was talking to Yang Shouwen, and suddenly found that he seemed to have lost his soul, so he panicked and hurriedly called.

"Ah, it's okay, I just thought of something."

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go back to the inn."

Yang Shouwen and Yang Siqiao hurriedly returned to the Eight Immortals Inn, and when they walked into the door of the Eight Immortals Inn, he saw that the shopkeeper was talking with a young man. When the two walked into the inn, the young man glanced at Yang Shouwen.

He suddenly smiled and nodded towards Yang Shouwen.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with white teeth and red lips, and he was talented.

However, Yang Shouwen didn't recognize the other party. Just to see the other party greeting him. He is not good to be indifferent. He nodded to the other and walked through the lobby. At the head of the bridge, Pei Min was holding on to the railing, looking at the square where a high platform was being built in the distance. Seeing Yang Shouwen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said softly, "Ah Lang, I heard a message. ”

"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house."

Yang Shouwen didn't rush to ask, but glanced at Pei Min.

After the three of them returned to Yang Shouwen's room. As soon as Pei Min was about to speak, he heard Yang Shouwen say: "Just now, Lao Yang and I went to Yizhuang and saw the corpses of those beggars. Lao Yang said that the corpses seemed to have been poisoned and died.

I was thinking, could it be that the other party has already started to dig up the treasure of Yuanwendu?

If that's the case, they're sure to recruit people. Forty million pieces of gold is not a small amount, even if it is piled up, it is a mountain of gold. If they were to dig up this mountain of gold, they would definitely need a lot of manpower. ”

After speaking, Yang Shouwen said to Pei Min: "This may be a clue." Xiao Pei, you can inquire and take a look at the recent Changzhou City. Where ground is being broken and people are recruited and recruited, there may be something to be gained. ”

Pei Min immediately smiled when he heard Yang Shouwen finish speaking.

"Ah Lang, what I want to tell you is exactly this."

"Oh?"

"Just now I was chatting with the guy in the shop outside, and I overheard him say that Su Yuanwai from Cheung Chau was repairing his garden and had hired a lot of helpers to do the work. According to the guy, this Su Yuanwai was a son of the Su family in Wu County, who made his fortune by selling silk silk to the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and built a garden on the shore of Taihu Lake in the west of the city. ”

Is it outside the Soviet Union?

Yang Shouwen's eyes flashed, "Xiao Pei, you go on." ”

Pei Min nodded, "It's normal to say that it's normal to trim the garden, in Suzhou, people already like to build gardens." But the problem is that the Su Yuanwai had only repaired the garden once at the beginning of the year, and now it is less than half a year, and the garden has to be rebuilt.

I don't understand the idea of a rich man, but it's an interesting thing to renovate the garden twice in less than half a year. ”

Yang Shouwen glanced at Yang Simiao, pondered for a moment and asked, "What is Su Yuanwai's name?" ”

"Solvay."

"Huh?"

"It's not Su Wei of the previous dynasty, it's just the same name."

Pei Min hurriedly explained: "This Su Yuanwai is a capable person, it is said that he made a mistake in the early years, was punished by the family, and went to the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate to do things. Unexpectedly, this guy has been in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate for ten years, and when he came back, he not only had a lot of money, but also opened a trade route for the Su family in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, so he was praised by the Su family.

After that, he relied on the Su family to almost monopolize the silk business from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Annan and Lingnan, and the family business became bigger and bigger. Also, this person has a deep friendship with Wang Yuankai, and when Wang Yuankai was alive, he often went to the inner office as a guest. ”

In a narrow sense, the Imperial Protectorate was a special administrative body set up in the Tang Dynasty in the border ethnic areas.

Broadly speaking, the Prefecture is not simply a state capital, but refers to a vast area under the rule of the Prefecture......

The Tang Dynasty set up the capital protection mansion during the Wude period, and after the promotion of Taizong Li Shimin, a total of nine capital protectorates have been set up so far, namely Andong, Dongyi, Anbei, Shan Yu, Anxi, Beiting, Kunling, Mengchi and Pei Min's Annan.

And this Annam Protectorate has jurisdiction over thirteen prefectures and thirty-nine counties, plus thirty-two prefectures. His rule included part of the Yunnan-Guizhou region in later generations, as well as the whole of Vietnam. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the Protectorate of Annam was considered a wild place. Relying on this Su Wei, the Su family was able to control the silk business in the entire Annan region, and its background was obviously not too bad.

After listening to Pei Min's introduction, Yang Shouwen was silent for a while.

After a while, he looked up at Yang Siqiao.

Yang Siqiao immediately understood what he meant, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, Xiao Pei and I will go to the Su family's garden to investigate and see if we can gain something." ”

"That's great!"

Yang Shouwen said in a deep voice: "Then I'll take a look around the city tomorrow to see if I can find something." ”

After the three of them had finished their discussions, they went back to their rooms.

Yang Shouwen walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the inn alone.

At this time, it was getting late, and the lobby was already full of diners, and it was very lively. Yang Shouwen sat down in a window seat, asked for a few drinks and dishes, and while tasting slowly, he quietly observed the situation of this Eight Immortals Inn.

The diners in this Eight Immortals Inn are mixed with three religions and nine streams.

They are either shouting and drinking, or they are talking to each other, creating an atmosphere in the lobby. The foil is extraordinarily warm.

"Guests. From the north? ”

That's when it happened. A young man in a green shirt appeared opposite Yang Shouwen, he carried a wine jug, sat down with a smile, looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "I see that the guest seems to have something on his mind, is it possible that he is in trouble?" This Eight Immortals Inn is a first-class good place in Changzhou County, if there is anything to worry about, as long as you are willing to pay. can solve it for you. ”

The young man was the young man he met in the lobby when Yang Shouwen and Yang Siqiao came back during the day.

Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

He looked at the other party curiously, raised his glass and said, "My name is Yang Qingzhi." ”

He didn't say his real name, he used his own words.

The young man smiled: "Everyone here calls me Ming Laosi, you can call me Shiro." ”

"Can anything really be solved?"

"Of course!"

"I'm looking for someone."

"Who?"

"That person is also from the north, and he is a monk named Fearless Zen Master."

Ming Laosi smiled, "Looking for a monk?" If you come to Cheung Chau to find a monk, you shouldn't be here. You should go to Pukai Temple. ”

Yang Shouwen looked at Ming Laosi, "But this monk I was looking for." It's not ordinary. ”

"Hehe, the more unusual it is, the more I have to go to the temple to find it.

There is a large group of monks in the Puhui Temple, what monks can't find it? It's just that if you come to the door so badly, I'm afraid it's hard to find...... By the way, my news is worth a lot of money, and I'll let the counter account for you. ”

Yang Shouwen thought thoughtfully, smiled and nodded.

At this time, if he can't see the other party's intentions, he will be a fool. Arrow Book, Taibo Temple, Temple Zhu, Eight Immortals Inn, Ming Lao Si...... Yang Shouwen's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said softly: "I just don't know, what good scenery is there to see in this Eight Immortals Inn?" ”

"Good view?"

Ming Laosi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Puppet tricks, does it count?" ”

"Oh?"

"No, it's already here."

While speaking, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside the inn.

Yang Shouwen looked out, and saw a team of chariots and horses appear in the square at the entrance of the Eight Immortals Inn, and quickly put on a posture.

The sound of the piano sounded slowly.

An almost naked? The fat puppet with a big belly like Maitreya Buddha exposed, a series of explosive battles with a smile on his face, followed by the sound of cannons, sparks flying. At the same time, a young man climbed a large tree in front of the inn and lit a circle of fireworks, squeaking and squeaking to Venus. This is also the opening ceremony of the trickster, which is intended to drive away the cow, ghost, snake and god.

Explosive war?

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but be stunned, and reacted keenly, is there already gunpowder at this time?

Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a burst of cannons, a banner was unfurled, and a golden dragon emerged from the river not far away, dancing like a cloud in the diffuse white steam; On the shore, two lions compete for hydrangeas to the beat of gongs and drums, and the white crane spreads its wings just in time for the turtle to shake its head and head towards it. As a result, there was a big battle between turtles and cranes, and the two kinds of gloss black and white were clearly reflected on the surface of the river, attracting a series of cheers from onlookers.

"The four manifestations of dragons, turtles, lions and cranes, a puppet trick unique to Minzhou."

Ming Laosi took a sip of wine and explained with a smile.

"How, how does this trick look?"

Yang Shouwen ignored Ming Laosi, frowned, staring at the trick on the shore, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Folks, we are honest tricksters in Minzhou, passing by the treasure land today, playing a little trick, and making the folks laugh. The trick just now, called the dragon, turtle, lion and crane four manifestations, if you feel that you can get into the eyes, you will hold a scene, we are a big family, but we have to rely on the care of the villagers. Those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field......"

A weather-beaten man with gray temples shouted loudly while beating gongs and drums.

The trickster walked forward with a basket, and the people who watched the excitement threw copper coins one after another.

When Yang Shouwen saw the man, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He immediately stood up, but before he could act, Ming Laosi stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, I'm afraid I haven't seen this trick in the north." Hehe, don't worry, some of them are watching! In two days, they will perform after the puja, and I heard that the master of Puhui Temple has paid a lot of money to make us Changzhou people happy. ”

Around, there was a burst of laughter.

Yang Shouwen finally calmed down and sat down slowly.

He glanced at Ming Laosi, and saw Ming Laosi nodding at him.

"Folks, you have seen a lot of tricks, and today Xiao Lao'er will perform a fresh one for everyone.

This is a set of tricks that Xiao Lao'er learned in the Western Regions in his early years, and I invite you to taste it today, and please cheer a lot. ”

Before the words fell, listen to Puff Puff!

The battle exploded, and the square was filled with fireworks.

Seven people walked out of the fireworks, all of them were wearing tattoos, wearing green gauze short back clothes, and they wore splendid belly belts. Among them was a man wearing a small Jinhua hat and holding a white flag. The other six were all wearing turbans and armed with weapons.

In the smoke, the seven men could not see their faces clearly, and began to fight and stab each other.

Judging from the sound of the weapons clashing, the weapons in their hands are all real guys. The seven people fought together, which was particularly realistic, causing bursts of exclamations from the surroundings. Suddenly, I saw the man in the golden hat stabbing a person with a steel knife, blood gushing out, and even more heartbreaking, the scene suddenly became bloody, which made people feel shocked.

"Seven Holy Blades?"

Ming Laosi muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that even the Western Regions Jacket Sect's Lower God Illusion Technique would be able to, and I really underestimated these people." ”

"Ming Gongzi, you mean ......"

"It's all illusion, this is the illusion of the Western Regions Jacket Sect, has Yang Gongzi heard of the Jacket Sect?" (To be continued.) )
