Chapter 240: Lai Chuntao is dead

Lu Sheng returned to the room with the big basin, and when he saw a Gu mother and twelve male Gu at the bottom of the basin, Lu Sheng understood the Gu poison used by the mastermind behind the scenes.

Among the Gu poisons, the Gu poison that needs to be combined by the Gu mother and the male Gu to complete the Gu poison is very rare, and the most common is the single Gu worm, that is, a poisonous insect is a weapon to kill soldiers.

Gu worms with Gu mothers are very rare among Gu poisons. This kind of Gu poison not only has a killing effect, but also a controlling effect. Some people use the connection between Gu Mother and Gu Poison to control the target so that the target must not disobey their orders.

But like the combination of Gu mother and male Gu poison, although Lu Sheng knew it, it was rare or even extinct species.

This poison has a characteristic, the Gu mother is poisonous, the male Gu is a soldier, once the Gu mother gets out of control, the male Gu will act as a scavenger to kill the Gu mother, and then the male Gu will hold a ceremony to make a male Gu become the new Gu mother.

The poison of Gu insects must be restrained, Lu Sheng didn't know where the antidote was before, but now, Lu Sheng finally understood. The so-called antidote is these male Gu.

With raw materials, it is no longer so difficult to configure an antidote. Lu Sheng ground a male Gu into powder, and then mixed it with the corresponding herbs to refine it into a ball of white medicinal powder.

After that, Lu Sheng immediately brought a rabbit and fed the poison of sepsis to the rabbit again.

Soon, the rabbit showed obvious signs of sepsis. The resistance of rabbits is naturally not comparable to that of people, people can survive for a few days, but rabbits may not last for an hour.

Lu Sheng put the prepared powder on the rabbit's mouth and let it lick it, always paying attention to the rabbit's physical condition. Sure enough, after a few minutes, the rabbit's condition improved somewhat, and by the time dawn came, the rabbit, which had been destined to die, had now become alive and jumping.

Although he successfully developed an antidote, Lu Sheng's heart was not happy at all. Qiantang's death made Lu Sheng's heart extremely heavy. It has now been proven that the so-called sepsis is not a condition at all.

Gu poison, a dignified member of the four grades of the imperial court, was actually poisoned to death? Even they dare to do this, what else do they dare not do?

The high-pitched rooster crow sounded, and the white light of the sky gradually dispersed the night.

Lu Sheng turned on the lights all night and went out.

The door opened, and Lu Sheng's eyes were slightly stunned.

Gai Ying, Lu Jian, and a group of Xuantianwei were neatly assembled at Lu Sheng's door to stand by. Slightly stunned, Lu Sheng's heart suddenly dawned, and at this moment, Lu Sheng suddenly realized that he was in this world, not alone, and no longer alone.

Not only does he have relatives, he has friends, but he also has a group of followers who are willing to be the sword in his hand!

Although Lu Sheng did not have an order for them to be on standby, they all knew that they should be on standby for Lu Sheng and be ready to obey orders at any time, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them.

"Brothers, we have been ordered to come to Gangbuk Province because of the emperor's order. When we first came to Gangbuk-do, we didn't have time to make a move, but some people actually regarded us as a thorn in the flesh.

Last night, they actually sent Gu poison with live bodies, wanting to poison all of us, and we must not ignore this murderous revenge. Where is Xuan Tianwei?"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Immediately arrest Lai Chuntao of Dongcheng Yaxing, and the next person in charge of Dongcheng Yaxing should be arrested!"

"Yes—"

Xuan Tianwei was holding back the fire in his belly, and he was almost served by someone last night. I haven't provoked anyone yet, so why don't I just kill him? Whoever you change, this loss must be fought back.

Xuan Tianwei's movements were fast, but Lu Sheng never expected that someone would move faster than Xuan Tianwei.

When Lu Sheng rushed to Dongcheng Yaxing, the entire Dongcheng Yaxing was like a pot of porridge.

"What's the matter?Lord Lu?Why are you here?" The housekeeper of Dongcheng Yaxing hurriedly walked over, and in the distance, Lu Sheng could still hear a heart-rending cry from inside.

Lu Sheng frowned, and he already had a guess in his heart.

"What's going on?"

"My lord, last night, my lord died of hysteria, and he was doing things in the backyard...... Have you received a report?" asked the thin butler tentatively.

Lu Sheng's face suddenly sank, and sure enough, it was still as guessed. It seems that I still underestimate the ruthlessness of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Last night, Lu Sheng specially asked people to close the Criminal Division, which made the entire Criminal Division fall into a dead silence. The mastermind behind the scenes would never know that the entire Criminal Investigation Division had escaped.

But now it seems that for the mastermind behind the scenes, whether he succeeds or not, Lai Chuntao must be silenced.

Lu Sheng ignored the housekeeper's inquiry, and led people straight into the inner courtyard of Dongcheng Yaxing. Outside the inner courtyard, the traces of last night's banquet are still there. But in the inner courtyard, it was miserable and miserable.

When Lu Sheng and the others entered, their cries suddenly became low, and on the big bed, which was seven or eight meters long and wide, Lai Chuntao was lying naked on the bed, and there were still some foam like waves at the corners of his mouth.

The sound of sobbing came and went, Lai Chuntao, a wife, and six or seven concubines knelt down at the head of the bed, bowing their heads and shaking their shoulders one by one. ”

"Boss Lai ...... last night How did he die?" Lu Sheng checked Lai Chuntao's body and found no signs of poisoning, but his body was scarred, more like he had been scratched to death.

"My lord, my lord died so miserably—" A middle-aged lady suddenly raised her voice and cried, "My lord was happy for his fortieth birthday last night, but somehow, he fell ill......"

"What disease?" Lu Sheng asked with a low staring at Lai Chuntao's original wife.

"It's like hysteria, obviously there is no one around, he just goes around begging for mercy, saying what is wrong, saying what don't come to me......

I know that what we are doing is a head trade, a business that lacks morality, how many times have I told the master a long time ago, our family is not short of this money, and we have closed the tooth shop to accumulate some yin virtue.

However, the old man misses the old days, saying that he started with a tooth business, and he can't forget his book. But...... I didn't expect ...... Unexpectedly, it was the loss of Yin Virtue and the retribution in the end——"

"Are you so sure of retribution?" Lu Sheng asked lightly.

"It's not retribution, why are you so crazy?" asked Mrs. Lai Chuntao with tears in her eyes.

"What's the matter with the injuries on his body?" Lu Sheng asked again.

On Lai Chuntao's body, there were dense scratches all over the place, as if he had been cut by a thousand knives.

"The old man scratched it himself when he was sick. ”

"You all saw it?" Lu Sheng asked solemnly, but in his heart he thought of something else.

Lai Chuntao died in such a timely manner? Obviously, he was killed. However, why did the mastermind behind the scenes only kill Lai Chuntao?

At the beginning, Lu Sheng's first reaction was that only Lai Chuntao knew the secret of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the others were irrelevant, so only Lai Chuntao was killed.

But almost instantly, Lu Sheng vetoed this speculation. Think about it from another perspective, if Lu Sheng is the mastermind behind the scenes, he will definitely wipe out all the people who are related to Lai Chuntao and him and have close connections.

What if Lai Chuntao told the secret to the newcomers around him? With Lu Sheng's knowledge of the ruthlessness of the mastermind behind the scenes, he would definitely be able to do this. Then, only killing Lai Chuntao will make it suspicious in this matter.

Moreover, Lai Chuntao's death is exactly the same as Wu Changsheng's, which is definitely not a coincidence. It was impossible to determine whether Wu Changsheng died violently or killed him, but now it is certain that Wu Changsheng was definitely killed by him, and his killing method must be exactly the same as Lai Chuntao's.

So at the moment, the original plan to arrest Lai Chuntao had to be interrupted because of his death, "Come on, bring all the main persons in charge of Dongcheng Yaxing back to the Criminal Division!"

"What?" Lu Sheng's order suddenly made the backbone of the butlers, who originally seemed to be irrelevant, tremble, "What are you doing, my lord, we don't know anything, it has nothing to do with us......"

"Whether it has anything to do with it or not, wait until the official investigates. Boss Lai's death, the official thinks it's very strange, so I hope you will cooperate?"

Xuan Tianwei dragged out a group of high-level officials of Dongcheng Yaxing who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy one by one like hungry tigers pounced on sheep.

"Collapse!" Lu Sheng slapped the table hard, "What are you doing? We are from the public gate, how can we be like robbers?"

Lu Sheng's action suddenly made everyone present look nervous, and even their breathing became short.

"Mrs. Lai......"

"In ......" Mrs. Lai's obvious body trembled, and she lowered her head and no longer dared to look at Lu Sheng.

"What did Boss Lai do before he fell ill?"

"I ......" Mrs. Lai's face turned red, "Master, he ...... He's spending the night in the Ninth Lady's room!"

"Ninth Lady, which one is Ninth Lady?" Lu Sheng raised his head and looked at the surrounding women, but no one answered.

"My lord, the Ninth Lady killed the master because of the red face and trouble...... So...... So...... I'm in charge of putting the Ninth Lady in the firewood room......"

"Bring someone here!" Lu Sheng ordered undeniably.

Mrs. Lai was not as domineering as before at this moment, and hurriedly asked her subordinates to go to the firewood room to receive people. After hesitating for a long time, he approached Lu Sheng's side again, "My lord, my lord's death ...... Not a disease?"

"I don't dare to guarantee whether it is the disease or not, but a few days ago, Wu Changsheng and Boss Wu also died suddenly, and he also had a sudden hysteria before he died, as if someone would harm him, begging for mercy in the air......"

Lu Sheng's words made Mrs. Lai's face change suddenly.

At this moment, the Ninth Lady was dragged over by her subordinates. Mrs. Nine's clothes were very thin, just a beige shirt and pants. Although it is May now, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still very large.

Especially now that it's just dawn and the sun hasn't risen yet.

Mrs. Nine has a good face and looks less than twenty years old. Although the hair is scattered, the hanging hair has a pearl-like sheen.

No wonder it is said that natural beauty is difficult to give up, and even if a beautiful woman is in trouble, she can't hide that beauty. At least, this Nine Lady is beautiful.

There was a trace of unyielding strength in the eyes of the Ninth Lady, although she had a weak face, but the toughness and disdain in the depths of her eyes made Lu Sheng suddenly look at her differently.

The Ninth Lady appeared, did not beg for mercy, did not cry, looked at the stiff corpse on the bed with calm eyes, and inadvertently let out a soft snort in her snort.
