Chapter 18: Poisoning
The long-term cabinet is worthy of being specialized in this line, professionals do things differently, they calculate the time and distance just right, and enter Poyang County before it gets dark, because it is too dangerous to rush in the dark, and the convoy did not settle down in the inn, but was arranged by the long-term cabinet workshop in Panyang County.
Of course, it is the insiders of the long-term cabinet that can enjoy this treatment, not Huang Chong, who is a supernumerary, but the long-term cabinet also introduced them to a relatively reliable and fair-priced several inns for them to choose from.
After Scarface arranged Huang Chong and the other six team members, he opened a separate guest room by himself.
After making sure that there was no one outside, he closed the doors and windows, and Scarface could finally check his loot with confidence, he had been holding back for most of the day, and he couldn't wait, rubbing his hands, and opening the package with a sense of sacredness.
During the day, under the coercion of Scarface, Huang Chong was "forced to confess" to him that the items in this package were worth more than 100 taels of silver, and they were very valuable.
The reason why Huang Chong told him was to make Scarface dare not open in front of everyone and reduce uncontrollable factors, judging from the current situation, Huang Chong's approach was right.
Of course, the additional effect of this incident is that Scarface's attitude towards Huang Chong is much better, and he keeps promising benefits, and Scarface is also worried that Huang Chong will talk about it.
Open the package, put on the top are two books, Scarface is illiterate, casually throw the two books aside, when he saw the things under the book, Scarface was shocked, he saw two silver ingots, one fifty taels, two is one hundred taels.
Although Huang Chong told him that the contents of this package were worth more than one hundred taels of silver, he didn't expect that there were two ingots of silver in it, even if he dreamed, he had never seen so much money.
There is also a wooden plaque next to the silver, this wooden plaque can take out 90,000 taels of silver from the long-term cabinet, but unfortunately he doesn't know the goods, he only feels that the pattern on the wooden plaque is somewhat familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere, but this feeling was immediately left behind by him, and his eyes were completely attracted by the two silver ingots.
Sometimes I have to sigh that insight is really important to a person.
He held two silver ingots in his hand, held one in one hand, stared at them as if he were looking at rare treasures, looked at them carefully, and bit one of them with his teeth, don't get me wrong, it's not that he wants to use this method to identify the authenticity, he just once saw someone use this method to identify gold, and thought it was cool, so he tried it.
"Dog, Brother Jiang really has to thank you this time." Scarface suddenly remembered something, put down two silver ingots, and pulled a dagger from his luggage.
In order to prevent this matter from leaking out, the best thing to do is to kill Huang Chong, and the sooner the better, he had just chosen a good place for Huang Chong outside the inn.
"Huh? How...... Yes. ”
"Bang dang."
"Poof."
"Ah......h
was about to go to Huang Chong, but Scarface found that he couldn't take a step forward, and his legs didn't know when he was paralyzed, and soon this paralyzing feeling spread to his whole body, and his hand didn't have the strength to hold the dagger, the dagger fell to the ground, and the power slowly peeled off from him, and the person slowly fell, lying on the ground, motionless.
The discomfort and panic of his body made him want to call for help, but his voice was small and weaker, and he soon became mute, but his consciousness was very clear, which further increased his fear.
Creak.
The door slowly opened, and a man walked in.
Scarface was lying on his stomach, he could only see a pair of feet with his peripheral vision, he was first happy, someone came in, he was finally saved, and then he was even more frightened, because he remembered that he had inserted the latch from the inside before, how did this person get in, who was this person?
Soon, the problem was solved, and the man closed the door and crouched in front of him.
"Oh, Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
“……”
Dog Dan, that is, Huang Chong, Huang Chong's demeanor is exaggerated, and he also shows a smile that is not smiling, plus that large piece of Qingji, which looks extremely terrifying under the light of the jumping candlelight.
Before Scarface could figure it out, he saw something even more terrifying, Huang Chong squatted in front of him, his eyes could see Huang Chong's hand, he wouldn't have paid attention to Huang Chong's hand, but when he saw a centipede crawling out of the cuff of Huang Chong's right hand, he was not calm.
An russet centipede crawled out of Huang Chong's sleeve and hovered over Huang Chong's hand, swimming back and forth on Huang Chong's palm like a pet, and Huang Chong's hand dangled in front of him.
"Oops, I forgot to tell Brother Jiang, just in case, I smeared some poison on the silver, oops, Brother Jiang, you are poisoned, it's really bad, what about people who are poisoned by this kind of poison, first of all, they will be numb, unable to move, and unable to make a sound, and after half an hour, the body will slowly begin to rot." Huang Chong brought the centipede in his hand close to Scarface, made a scared look and continued:
"After an hour, the hands and feet will turn into a puddle of thick water, and then the stomach, which will be very clear in the process, that is, you can feel your body slowly disappear, and that pain, until the body is all turned into thick water, the head will slowly melt, and then you will die."
As Huang Chong described, Scarface's body trembled even more, purely out of fear, and then he smelled a smell of urine......
"Hmph, what's going on, Brother Jiang, do you want to live?" Huang Chong smiled contemptuously and asked.
Scarface couldn't make a sound, so he could only nod his head vigorously.
Huang Chong picked up the dagger on the ground, took out a black pill, put it on the ground in front of Scarface, used the dagger to split the antidote in two, and then said to him:
"This is the antidote, I will only give you half now, you can live for five more days, if you can't eat the other half within five days, you will still die of poison, and if you want the other half, give me honest and obedient, when you get to Yangzhou, I will naturally give it to you, understand?"
Scarface nodded vigorously, and Huang Chong shoved half of the antidote into his mouth.
......"Ahh......hh Ah, no, hero, why can't I move, isn't it ......"
"What are you worried about, because it's only half, so the detoxification effect is average, you lie on the ground all night, and before you leave tomorrow morning, you can move." Saying that, Huang Chong walked directly to the bed, since he could sleep in one bed alone, it was naturally impossible for him to go back and squeeze with the other five people.
