Chapter 267: Guo Ming's Death
I'm sorry doctor, I have to wronged you. Xiao Jingyi looked at the corpse on the ground and muttered to himself. Naturally, no one should know about the fact that he was infected with opium. If it spreads, how can he be qualified to compete for that position, the doctor must kill people, and only the dead can keep their mouths shut forever.
Xiao Jingyi got off the bed and called the attendant at the door.
"Go ahead and get me some books." Xiao Jingyi said that after listening to the name of the book that Xiao Jingyi said, the attendants looked at each other, but still took the order.
Xiao Jingyi stayed in the study all afternoon and didn't go anywhere.
Knowing that he tore the book in his hand to shreds.
The poppy must be taken to be able to get it, and he has not eaten it himself, so it must have been done intentionally.
Thinking that he had eaten and lived in the county mansion for the past two days, all the things in Xiao Jingyi's mind were strung together.
It must have been Guo Ming, who put the poppy in his meal, thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi couldn't wait to cut Guo Ming with a thousand knives.
"Guo Ming, I must make your life worse than death." Xiao Jingyi pinched the torn paper and roared in a low voice.
When eating in the afternoon, Guo Ming was still smiling, and when he saw a table of dishes, Xiao Jingyi's hands were clenched into fists.
"Second prince, if you eat, the lower officials won't bother you." Guo Ming bent down and bowed his hand, and was ready to leave after speaking.
"Master Guo, sit down and eat together." Xiao Jingyi suddenly spoke, and sure enough, Guo Ming's face froze.
"This is not in accordance with the rules, how can Xia Guan be at the same table with the second prince." Guo Ming lowered his head and said.
"Why don't you follow the rules, when General Secretary Zhang came today, did you eat together soon?" Xiao Jingyi said with a smile. The killing intent in his eyes was even more obvious. He recalled that when Zhang Jilin came, Guo Ming ate, as if he only ate the two dishes in front of him, and the others did not move, while Zhang Jilin basically did not eat.
"This ...... Second prince, let's go down and eat......" Guo Ming tried to shirk.
"Lord Guo, is this not giving face to this prince?" Xiao Jingyi raised his voice and looked at Guo Ming fixedly.
"I ...... That's not what Xia Guan meant. Guo Ming stumbled and said.
"Then since this is the case, it is better for the lower officials to be respectful." Guo Ming rubbed his hands and finally sat down.
Xiao Jingyi looked at Guo Ming, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Master Guo, eat vegetables." Seeing that Guo Ming only ate rice and didn't move his chopsticks, Xiao Jingyi urged.
Guo Ming glanced at Xiao Jingyi, and then at the dishes in front of him, and seemed to be very embarrassed.
"What, the food is not appetizing?" Every time Xiao Jingyi said a word, Guo Ming's heart sank, and the sweat on his forehead became more and more.
"No, no." Guo Ming trembled and picked up a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth.
"Lord Guo, is it delicious?" Xiao Jingyi's voice was fluttering, and Guo Ming felt that the pressure was overwhelming.
"Good...... Delicious. Guo Ming said nemesly.
"It's delicious, then Master Guo will finish this table." Xiao Jingyi said slowly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Guo Ming raised his head suddenly, he reacted, Xiao Jingyi knew about him planting poppies in the dish.
"Second prince......" Guo Ming's words begging for mercy still didn't come out of his mouth.
"Lord Guo, I remember that some time ago, a blood altar appeared in the Lotus Village of the capital, and the altar was nothing, but then the prince heard from Mr. Zhang that some unknown liquid was found around the altar, guess what?" Xiao Jingyi looked at Guo Ming's frightened face, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan doesn't know." Guo Ming shook his head mechanically.
"You don't know? I heard that it was extracted from poppies, Lord Guo. Xiao Jingyi approached Guo Ming and said.
Guo Ming's legs were paralyzed and he sat directly on the ground.
"Second Prince!" Guo Ming struggled to stand up and looked at Xiao Jingyi.
"Guo Ming, you are so bold that you dare to drug this palace?" Xiao Jingyi grabbed Guo Ming's neck.
"I ...... Second prince, don't forget that you still have the handle in my hand, you let go...... Let me go. Guo Ming had difficulty breathing, and shook Xiao Jingyi's hand hard, hoping that Xiao Jingyi could send some away, but from beginning to end, Xiao Jingyi had no intention of letting go.
"You're in your hands, do you mean that?" Xiao Jingyi escaped from a piece of paper in his arms, and sure enough, it was written how Xiao Jingyi killed Xiao Jingxuan, and the whole process was very detailed.
Guo Ming's pupils dilated instantly, and he didn't understand why Xiao Jingyi would get this thing.
This is what he kept in the secret room, except for him......
Thinking of this, Guo Ming raised his head and glared at Xiao Jingyi, except that only his wife knew where to put it, but why did his wife give it to Xiao Jingyi, this answer was about to come out.
Xiao Jingyi's face also flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and soon returned to normal.
Guo Ming was dumbfounded now, the person closest to him betrayed him at a critical moment, Guo Ming's face was colorful and very good-looking.
Xiao Jingyi After Xiao Jingxuan died, especially when he was threatened by Guo Ming, on the surface, he seemed to be controlled by others, but in fact, he had been looking for Guo Ming's support, and he really found it, I have to say that Guo Ming's wife was too naïve, Xiao Jingyi promised that after this matter was over, he would give her another identity and take her back to the Second Prince's Mansion in the capital, and Mrs. Guo Ming believed it.
At this moment, Guo Ming looked at Xiao Jingyi with strange eyes, and Xiao Jingyi naturally felt that the meaning was unusual. However, those who become big things are not informal, and the unnaturalness on Xiao Jingyi's face quickly flashed.
"Second prince, you can't kill me." Guo Ming said with a stiff neck.
"Why can't you kill, Guo Ming, who do you really think you are?"
Xiao Jingyi tightened his hand as he spoke, and Guo Ming had already begun to roll his eyes.
"Say, Who commanded you?" Xiao Jingyi asked.
Guo Ming's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.
"To say or not to say?" Xiao Jingyi continued to question.
"Yes......" Guo Ming had just said a word, and his mouth suddenly began to spit black blood.
"What's going on!" Xiao Jingyi threw Guo Ming to the ground, and didn't understand what was going on.
It wasn't him who strangled Guo Ming, Guo Ming seemed to have been poisoned to death.
"Someone, find a doctor!" Xiao Jingyi tidied up his clothes and shouted loudly outside.
A few people poured in outside, and they saw the scene in the house for some reason.
How could Lord Guo die?
Guo Ming's body was carried down, and Xiao Jingyi sat back in his seat with a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't ask who Guo Ming was behind in the end, he also successfully solved Guo Ming, and he didn't have the handle in the hands of others. Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi felt a lot better again, but Zhang Jirin's group said that they were out to look for clues, but they haven't found it yet, and there is no news coming back, Xiao Jingyi is still a little worried.
Soon, news came out in the county mansion that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed by Guo Ming's design, and Xiao Jingyi inadvertently broke the secret, argued with Guo Ming, and was stabbed by Guo Ming, who knew that he couldn't escape, committed suicide in fear of crime. Everything is said to be logical and even seamless.
When Zhang Jirin went back, he went directly to see Xiao Jingyi, and sure enough, Xiao Jingyi leaned on the side of the bed with a pale face.
"Second prince, how are you?" Zhang Jilin asked.
"It's okay, I'm ...... Ahem, I didn't expect Guo Ming to be this kind of person. Xiao Jingyi's eyes dimmed, and he said silently.
"One of my subordinates is proficient in medical skills, or let him rediagnose the second prince?" Zhang Jirin recruited She Ning as he spoke.
"No, no, this prince is fine, it's just a little skin injury, this Guo Ming dares to hurt the eldest brother, he really should be cut with a thousand cuts." Xiao Jingyi diverted the topic.
"The second prince should not be too uncomfortable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no news now, isn't it the best news." Zhang Jirin lowered his eyelids and said, Xiao Jingyi sighed and did not speak.
"The second prince will either go back to Beijing first, and the matter here will be left to me." Zhang Jilin suggested.
"Big brother hasn't found ...... yet" Xiao Jingyi shook his head stubbornly, in the eyes of those who don't know, it looks like a deep brotherhood.
"Second prince, you are injured now, and you have to go back to recuperate, so you can't work here." Zhang Jirin said lightly.
Xiao Jingyi lowered his head and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Since this is the case, I will arrange it tomorrow and let the second prince take the lead in returning to Beijing." This time, Xiao Jingyi nodded directly.
That night, Zhang Jirin took She Ning and a few people to sneak to the morgue.
She Ning glanced at Zhang Jirin, Zhang Jirin nodded, She Ning stepped forward and lifted the white cloth on Guo Ming's body and began to check.
"My lord, Guo Ming died of poison." She Ning said that although there are still faint marks on Guo Ming's neck, this is not the real reason for Guo Ming's death, Guo Ming died because of poisoning.
"What poison?" Tianxuan asked.
"100 days of drunkenness in southern Xinjiang." She Ning said in a solemn tone.
"Poison in Southern Xinjiang?"
"Southern Xinjiang again?"
Tianquan and Tianxuan exclaimed at the same time.
"This, Guo Ming is also from southern Xinjiang?" Tianxuan looked at Guo Ming's corpse and muttered to herself.
"Guo Ming is a native of Daqi." Zhang Jilin added.
"That ......"
Tianxuan wanted to say something, but seeing that everyone didn't speak, she swallowed back the words behind.
Obviously, this Guo Ming is very likely to have committed treason.
"What is a 100-day drunk?" Zhang Jilin asked.
"It is a poison to be used in conjunction with Gu, after eating a hundred days of drunkenness, the person's body will also be correspondingly Gu, the poisoned person looks no different from ordinary days, but in an emergency, the poisoned person is emotional, it will trigger the Gu in the body, thus urging the poison, and if there is really a particularly powerful wizard in southern Xinjiang, it will also imprison the poisoned person's body, if the poisoned person wants to say something they don't want to be known, it will also prompt the poison, but such a thing rarely happens, Because this is too demanding for Gu control, as far as I know, I am afraid that there are no such people in Southern Xinjiang. ”
She Ning said cautiously, and Zhang Jilin also fell into deep thought after hearing it.
The next day, Xiao Jingyi returned to Beijing, and Zhang Jilin and his colleagues stayed in Huazhou to continue to track down Xiao Jingxuan's whereabouts.
