Chapter 461: Strange Poison in the Western Regions
As soon as Wu Jianguo heard this, he immediately stood up, slapped twice on the table and said, "What's wrong with her Shen Ruogu again, she has to invite someone during the day, who is going to find him this big night!" ”
When those people saw that he was angry, they immediately knelt on the ground and trembled, and the two guards outside the door trembled even more, glanced at each other, and some would let the subordinate in.
Wu Jianguo was stunned for a long time and looked at him and said, "Do you know, what is the matter with Lord Shen looking for me?" ”
The trembling body of the kneeling man shook his head and said, "The shopkeeper of Guangshantang is waiting outside the door now, why don't I invite him in, and you can ask him?" ”
Wu Jianguo nodded and said, "Please come in!" ”
The man nodded, hurriedly retreated, and asked towards the door again, and the shopkeeper who opened the door was still stomping his feet in place, anxious.
The man saw him and said, "The shopkeeper's words have been passed on to you, Master Wu will let you go in and talk about it first!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Thank you so much!" ”
The man smiled and shook his head, "I usually have to take care of you, and it's my little honor to help you at this time." The shopkeeper nodded, followed the man to Wu Jianguo's room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Wu Jianguo drinking tea, leisurely.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Wu Jianguo, he hurriedly looked at him and said, "Lord Wu, our Lord God said that I have a happy event to find you, and I am still bothering you, so I am here." ”
Wu Jianguo snorted coldly, looked at him and said, "Shopkeeper, I usually think you are reasonable, look at how many hours it has been now, and you don't persuade him Shen Ruogu Ming'er to find me again in the morning!" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, and hurriedly said flatteringly: "Isn't this looking for you because of something urgent?" If it's a trivial matter, I'll definitely talk to Lord Shen. ”
Wu Jianguo nodded and looked at him and said, "Do you know what your Lord Shen is looking for me, first of all, if it is really a trivial matter in my opinion, you have to give me some compensation." ”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "How do I know this, Lord Shen hasn't said it yet, but it seems that there is a person who has passed out in Guangshan Hall after being poisoned, and he is white and handsome, but he looks a little angry, and he can't remember who it is for a while." ”
Wu Jianguo frowned, looked at him and said, "Then who do you hear them call him?" ”
Wu Jianguo had some vague suspicions in his heart, the person he was talking about was General Bai, because there was some scholarly anger in that group of people.
The shopkeeper touched his head, took a breath of cold air, and said after a while: "This ...... I didn't pay attention, I couldn't hear Lord Shen talking to him happily, it should be some kind of big person. ”
If you say this, it is estimated that Wu Jianguo will make a move, and the shopkeeper is a little anxious after waiting for Wu Jianguo to reply for a long time, and the shopkeeper looks at Wu Jianguo and says: "My lord, you should go for a trip, maybe there is something big!" ”
Wu Jianguo's hand holding the clothes trembled, looked at him and said, "Aren't I going to change my clothes, if I wear this single clothes, wouldn't I be laughed at by him Shen Ruogu!" ”
When the shopkeeper saw that Wu Jianguo was playing, he hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Hey, good! After saying that, he retreated to the door and waited quietly for Wu Jianguo to get dressed.
Wu Jianguo came out of the door to take a look, and the two guards snorted coldly and said, "Don't let anyone in in the middle of the night in the future, it's very noisy and dreamy, forget it this time." The two guards nodded hurriedly. The man stood aside and spat silently.
"Do you want to prepare a petty for you?" The guard also suddenly asked, Wu Jianguo shook his head, looked at him and said, "Don't spread the news about me going out in the mansion today, do you hear?" ”
The others nodded, and Wu Jianguo followed the shopkeeper and hurriedly walked all the way back to Guangshan Hall.
Wu Jianguo himself doesn't move much, and he walks very slowly when he is old, he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "You should slow down!" ”
In the end, the shopkeeper helped Wu Jianguo and the two people saved a lot of time, entered the Guangshan Hall and arrived at the library pavilion, and the shopkeeper knocked on the door.
Shen Ruogu opened it, and saw two people who were panting, Wu Jianguo stared at Shen Ruogu and said preemptively: "Lord Shen, are you a villain?" How do you turn these black lights and send someone to find them! ”
Wu Jianguo was still talking about the three of them standing at the head of his bed, and the fact that they woke him up was still fresh in his memory, and his heart was almost half dead with fright.
He was too old to withstand this kind of toss, Shen Ruogu's eyes were full of guilt, and he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "You go out first, I'll talk to Master Wu!" ”
The shopkeeper nodded, smiled easily, returned to the counter, and continued to fiddle with his abacus.
As soon as Wu Jianguo entered, he saw five or six people sitting on the ground, holding books in their hands, except for General Bai and Rong Xiao, who had been following Shen Ruogu, everyone else was here.
Shen Ruogu looked at him and said: "General Bai was actually poisoned by the emperor early in the morning and gave him the poisonous wine, and now he is being tortured, but we can't find a way to detoxify it, I don't know if you have seen this poison!" ”
Wu Jianguo was immediately deflated when he heard this, could it be the thing he had seen in the secret room of the palace.
Hearing that that thing was so terrifying that the person who got it was almost tortured to death, he was stunned and looked at Shen Ruogu and said, "What, you get up and tell me what the detailed situation is when you get it!" ”
Shen Ruogu nodded, and when he saw that Wu Jianguo was serious, he immediately became serious, and told him about the bits and pieces of the illness that General Bai usually told him.
The more Wu Jianguo listened, the more he thought about it, and he was even more shocked, but he didn't expect the emperor to still use this thing, he looked at Shen Ruogu, his expression was a little tired, and after listening to him, he was even more sure.
He looked at Shen Ruogu and the other people who had gathered, and slowly talked about the origin of this poison.
It turned out that this poison was obtained in a small country when General Zhenbei went out on a crusade more than 20 years ago, and I heard that that country sent people to sail away, and when they arrived at a place not on this continent, it was the mysterious land of the Western Regions.
From there he retrieved a poison that could intoxicate people, and after the great general had subdued the kingdom, he gave it to His Majesty along with the secret recipe for its making.
He had only heard about it once from General Zhenbei at that time, and when he happened to enter the palace to see his daughter, Wu Jianguo's daughter was the emperor's concubine, and he could see that there was a secret room in the palace.
After entering, he found out that it was a place to make and study internal poisons, he was young and strong at the time, and he also had a good hand, so he silently and quietly did not provoke anyone to find out.
