Chapter 408: The Only Thing to Worry About

Since it was a good wine and a filial piety, the old housekeeper of Gaofu bought two jars of wine according to what he said earlier. Then Jintashan followed the old housekeeper with two jars of wine into the Gao Mansion, the Gao Mansion is not big, and there are not many people, and the courtyard and a few wings are entered before and after.

The old housekeeper led the way in front, followed behind, looked around carefully, and according to the requirements of intelligence training, kept in mind the structure of the houses in this courtyard, and the entrances and exits of this courtyard, and some special places were also focused on observing to ensure that there were no missing places.

Later, because there was no special wine cellar in this courtyard, Jintashan and they came to the kitchen of Gaofu, put down the two jars of wine that had been held in their hands, and when the old housekeeper counted the money, Jintashan talked to him again, and applied the guidance skills of those conversations he usually learned in the cold noise, and in the old housekeeper's half-proud, half-showy tone, he inquired about some things about Master Gao.

When Jintashan returned to the intelligence station, he immediately dictated the information he had collected during the day, and asked He Yan to record it on paper, while he himself used a pencil and a ruler on a blank piece of paper to roughly depict the topographical map of Master Gao's mansion, and later revised the map according to when he went to deliver wine again, and the role of each room and the situation of the people in Gao's mansion were also marked on it.

"Chief Hu, you see, this is the main gate of Gaofu on Tatou Street, and here is its side gate in the back alley......" Wen Desi pointed to the topographic map on the table and talked eloquently, the three of them had already discussed the information of Gaofu many times in the past week, so they all had something to say.

Hu Guang listened to Hu Guang's endless explanation, and nodded secretly in his heart, the three of them were obviously trained by Brother Huang's half-tone intelligence education, and they had already shown the characteristics of intelligence work beyond this era, and they fought to let the data speak for themselves, such as how high the wall was, how thick the wall was, and so on.

"Lao Wen, this picture of yours is already very detailed......" After Wen Desi finished introducing him, Hu Guang opened his mouth to praise, in fact, Wen Desi is younger than him, but his face looks like he is already in his thirties and forties, which is determined by the nutritional level and quality of life in this era.

"Chief, in the past 7 days, Lao Jin has sent wine to them three times, and each time it is such a big two wine jars." Wen Desi laughed first, he felt sincerely happy with Hu Guang's praise, and answered Hu Guang's question, and also made a comparison of the size of the wine jar.

"Oh, that's it, so Gao Qianyu can drink at least seven or eight bottles of wine a day, it's really a good amount of wine......" Hu Guang thought in his heart, Wen Desi introduced just now, every time Jintashan went to deliver wine, the original wine jar in this kitchen was empty, either Master Gao drank not a drop of it, or his servants secretly drank the remaining residual wine, but in either case, the plan he originally drew up with Lao Huang could come in handy.

"Hmm." Wen Deji nodded.

"In that case, you'll have to deliver wine again tomorrow, then ......"

Seeing that Hu Guang was halfway through his words, Wen Desi and Du Yande took out a rectangular cardboard box from their arms, "...... Add these pills to the wine tomorrow. ”

"Apu...... ......The two of them looked at the small cardboard box on the table, the green carton, the weird name, and a line of pinyin letters that couldn't be spelled at all.

"Chief, this is the ...... of the upper realm", Wen Desi thought about the pill to be added to the wine, maybe it was some poison in the upper realm, it was estimated that it was a poison more poisonous than the wine or the crane top red.

China has always been a big country in medicine, and there have been many records of herbal medicine since ancient times, including many powerful poisons. The main records are, broken intestine grass, Tripterygium wilfordii, hook kiss, wine, arsenic, crane top red, saffron turtle, oleander, natural arsenic, aconitum aconitum, blood seal throat also known as poison arrow tree, snow artemisia, quinine, love flower and so on.

Wen Desi's father used to be a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, the number one cult in the world, and he had a so-called family origin, so he naturally knew more about the Tao than ordinary people. From the Song Dynasty to the Republic of China, the White Lotus Sect is a mysterious organization with more than 1,000 years in Chinese history.

The main reason is that it began to rebel in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was against the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was against the Jin, the Yuan Dynasty was against the Yuan, the Ming Dynasty was against the Ming, the Qing Dynasty was against the Qing Dynasty, and it still existed in the Republic of China. To put it simply, no matter who is in power in the White Lotus Sect, they will rebel against whomever they want, and the brick family, which can be called a thousand-year-old rebellion, is just defeated and defeated again and again, and never gets tired of it, so it is naturally defined as a cult by successive dynasties and strangled by successive dynasties.

……

"It's a sleeping pill, not a poison." Although Hu Guang didn't know what Lu Daowen Deji was thinking, his implicit fear was obvious at a glance.

"Hmm." Wen Desi was relieved when he heard that it was not a poison, after all, if it was poisoned in the wine, and the master surnamed Gao died of poison, then the yamen's prefect would go to the autopsy, then Jin Tashan and He Yan, who delivered wine every day, became suspects, although they said that they had done makeup before going out, but this kind of explosive method would definitely put the intelligence in a dangerous situation.

"This medicine is just a drug that can induce drowsiness in people, and it is a drug that induces sleep." Hu Guang took out the plastic medicine bottle from the cardboard box, unscrewed the lid, poured out a few small white pills into the palm of his hand from inside, and handed them to see.

Sleeping pills, also known as diazepam, are generally white or off-white crystalline powder, with no odor and slightly bitter taste. It is almost insoluble in water, but it is soluble in hydrochloric acid. When encountering acids or alkalis, it is easy to hydrolyze when heated. When taking oral drugs, the ring is opened under the action of gastric acid, and it enters the alkaline intestine and recycles the original drug to treat insomnia.

However, sleeping pills are not easy to buy now, because they belong to the second class of psychotropic drugs, and the state has expressly banned the sale of them, and ordinary pharmacies and hospitals must sell them by prescription, that is, they can only be bought by going to the hospital or the resident doctor of the pharmacy to get a prescription. And you can only buy 5 to 6 tablets at a time, which is a 3-day supply, and then open and buy after eating.

Some private clinics can buy it without a prescription, but because of the legal responsibility, they only give a 3-day supply, and if the insomnia is severe, you can only go to a few more clinics to buy it. Huangshi had done this kind of thing for his father-in-law before, so he was familiar with it, and after shopping around various pharmacies in the city, he quickly scraped together 100 sleeping pills.

"Chief, shall we soak it in wine?" Although I don't understand why Chief Hu wants to put this kind of sleep-promoting drug in the wine, I have to ask how to operate it first.

Hu Guang shook his head and replied, "Tomorrow I will take a bowl of wine and heat them up, and then put 5 sleeping pills into the wine, melt them and then mix them into the wine jar." ”

Sleeping pills are best absorbed orally, reaching the peak of blood concentration within half an hour, the drug metabolism and excretion are fast, the half-life is 3 to 6 hours, and it is metabolized by the kidneys. Most people can fall into a deep sleep by taking half a pill, and if they take it with alcohol, it will increase the effectiveness of the drug.

It has an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, a small amount of it can be hypnotized, and an excessive dose can cause poisoning, drowsiness, muscle spasms, blood pressure drops, shallow and slow breathing, slow heartbeat, weak pulse, and even deep coma and loss of reflexes. If the absorbed dose exceeds 15 times the usual amount, it can cause death due to respiratory depression.

To put it simply, taking 15 times the dose can cause death, so Hu Guang chose one-third of the dose, hoping that after Master Gao had eaten wine, he would leave them enough time to act.

Then the few of them discussed some more things, and then went to rest after half an hour.

The next day, after breakfast, Hu Guang and the others sorted out their bags, checked each other, and after showing no flaws, they were ready to go out to step on the spot to prepare for the evening action.

Hu Guang sat in a carriage dragged by a low horse, pretending to be a wealthy merchant passing by Tatou Street, while his team members changed into one-color green coats and hats, some carried packages in their hands, some carried luggage on their shoulders, and some simply walked directly to both sides of the frame, and they all dressed up as Hu Guang's entourage servants.

In this way, they walked slowly and in a big way from the door of Master Gao's house, Hu Guang hid in the carriage and opened a corner of the curtain, holding the map originally drawn by Jintashan in his hand, carefully verified, and found that there was no mistake, thinking that the only thing to worry about now is the "curfew".

"Night" is night, and "forbidden" is forbidden. A curfew is a prohibition of nighttime activity in ancient times. In many costume film and television dramas, there are often scenes of men and women shopping on the street at night, saying that in ancient times, the lights were bright, the nightclubs were lined up, and people could party all night as they are now. In fact, such a scene rarely existed in ancient times.

"Curfew" was very common in ancient times, and was renamed "night curfew" in the Ming Dynasty. The regulations are clearer, and the dusk drum is sounded at three o'clock, and travel is prohibited; The morning bell rang at three o'clock on the fifth watch before the ban on traffic. Those who walk on the streets on the second, third, and fourth watches will be flogged forty times, and fifty times in the capital; Those who commit a night break after the first watch and shortly before the fifth watch is opened, will be flogged 30 times, and in the capital it is 40 times. However, sickness, childbirth, and death and bereavement can be passed.

Now 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. is the ancient first watch, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. is the second watch, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. is the third watch, 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. is the fourth watch, and 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. is the fifth watch. In other words, you can't go out at 7 o'clock in the evening. Going shopping from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. is a spanking offense.

In order to enforce a curfew, every city where the government is stationed has to lock its gates at night and prohibit entry and exit from the city. and the keys of the gates shall be given to the magistrates. At the same time, fences should be erected at the intersections of the main streets, which should be guarded by government officials and not allowed to pass.
