Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mystery of the White Poison Umbrella
"This girl is ......"
Chen Xiangsheng's voice came, and at first glance he heard the warm and soft light of wine-making like a mountain spring, like him.
Mrs. Wei took the opportunity to introduce it: "This is the second lady of Marshal Gu's family. ”
Gu Jin flicked the visitor, and Chen Xiangsheng hurriedly returned the salute.
This person has a square temperament, and he is still obsessed with Gu Jinfang's evaluation of him, so he said: "Miss Gu Ercai is a false praise, how can she be worthy of the word leader." ”
Gu Jin smiled: "Yes." Seeing that Chen Xiangsheng still didn't understand the meaning, he diverted the topic again: "I mean that I am quite interested in medical science these days, and I have to ask adults to teach me a thing or two if I have the opportunity." ”
This is true, Gu Jin has been studying medical books recently, otherwise he would not be able to easily find out that the mushrooms in the food of the Prime Minister's Mansion are white poisonous umbrellas.
Chen Xiangsheng responded, and the topic of several people got on the right track.
Prime Minister Wei spoke: "Imperial Doctor Chen, I specially invited you to come over this time, because something happened in my house." After a pause, he added, "Our meal is mixed with something that shouldn't be there." ”
Chen Xiangsheng was stunned, he was on duty in the Tai Hospital today, and he was startled when Mama Li, who was next to Mrs. Wei, came to invite, and hurried over but let him wait in the flower hall.
Although he vaguely realized that Mrs. Wei invited him here today not because someone in the house was sick, he never thought that it was actually poisoning in the house.
Chen Xiangsheng nodded: "It is incumbent." ”
Prime Minister Wei personally led him into the inner hall, and Gu Jin and the others followed him in.
In the inner hall, there was still a noon meal on the carved round table, which was still the same as when they left the table, and during this time, Mrs. Wei sent someone to keep watch, and no one came in.
On the table, four dishes were singled out: braised pork, spicy stir-fried three dings, round jade cabbage and green pepper beef tenderloin.
The white poison umbrella inside is particularly eye-catching at the moment.
Gu Jin said lightly: "Please ask Imperial Doctor Chen to take a look." ”
Chen Xiangsheng nodded, took a new pair of chopsticks from Mama Li's hand, and stirred it gently in the dish.
His figure was slender, and the candle flame was lit in the dimness of the room, and the bright light fell on his body, and for a moment he felt that the son was upright, and time stopped.
Suddenly, the man's wrist holding chopsticks paused, and his brows furrowed.
"It's ...... White poison umbrella? ”
Chen Xiangsheng's wrist was sandwiched with a piece of crushed white mushrooms, which looked shiny and delicious against the background of the candlelight.
Prime Minister Wei and the others looked at each other, they had already heard Gu Jin say that this was called the White Poison Umbrella, but when they heard Chen Xiangsheng say it again in such a serious tone, they couldn't help but tremble a little in their hearts: This thing almost entered their mouths.
But they still remembered another sentence that Gu Jin said before: The imperial doctor who was looking for a place came to ask where this white poison umbrella came from and how to get it.
Wei Yuchuan pursed his lips, and Qingxue's face also looked a little serious.
"Imperial Doctor Chen, dare to ask if this white poison umbrella is found in Bianliang City? What about toxicity? ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiangsheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and frowned, as if he was looking for a fragment of the white poison umbrella in his mind.
"This is not something that can be found in Bianliang City, I only saw it when I traveled with my father when I was a child, if I hadn't seen it once with my own eyes, I really didn't believe that there would be this thing in Bianliang City, this is something that only exists in the south. Moreover, this white poison umbrella contains highly poisonous, let alone such a piece, as long as people eat such a small bite, I am afraid it will be difficult to save. ”
Gu Jin had never seen this thing, but he only learned about it in the book, so his previous guess was much bolder than Chen Xiangsheng's. But fortunately, there is a physician here, otherwise they may not know what the specific habits of this white poison umbrella are.
However, the territory of Dazhen is open, the land is vast, and the scope of the word "south" mentioned by Chen Xiangsheng is too large.
Prime Minister Wei stared dryly and didn't speak, all waiting to hear Chen Xiangsheng say some more useful news.
Chen Xiangsheng didn't disappoint them too much: "White poison umbrellas like wet places, and they will become stale after a few days of picking, so these white poison umbrellas will not be transported from too far away." If you want to find it, you have to look for it in Yongzhou, Anqing Mansion, and Nanji. ”
These places are all south of Bianliang City.
Gu Jin nodded, understanding the meaning of his words. The boundary of Dazhen is open, and there are many prefectures and counties to the south of Anqing Mansion, but the white poison umbrella will not be fresh after a few days after picking, so it must have been transported from the neighboring prefectures and counties of Bianliang.
At this point, everyone figured it out.
Wei Yuchuan couldn't help but wince: "Father, this person has traveled thousands of miles to bring a basket of poisonous mushrooms to ......."
The words are not finished, but the meaning is already clear.
The people behind the scenes traveled thousands of miles to transport this basket of poisonous mushrooms into the kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, just to poison Wei Yuchuan's family of three, what kind of manpower, material resources and city government should the people behind the scenes have, and what kind of bold people dare to poison the imperial court officials and a country to kill the officials of the court in such a grand manner?
This hall is separated from the courtyard by the outer hall, but several people still feel the chill of the cold wind and rain.
In Bianliang City, there was a powerful man who wanted their lives.
