Chapter 192: Arresting people in the suburbs
"This ...... This...... How did it come to this? Sister-in-law, I told you all yesterday what I should say, and I really don't know what else I can add. An Wanru was also anxious. No matter what her relationship with An Mingchen is on weekdays, she knows in her heart that everything they can have today is all due to An Mingchen, if An Mingchen is embarrassed, or even disgraced, they will not have a good time. It's just that...... She really didn't know what else she hadn't said.
"Don't worry, think slowly, think carefully, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to think of it." Huangfu Xue was also anxious, but like this, An Wanru seemed to be more anxious, and after thinking about it, she forced herself to calm down, took her hand and slowly spoke, "Second sister, you think according to what I say, let's think little by little, don't worry, believe me, you will definitely be able to." ”
"Okay, sister-in-law, you say, I will definitely listen to you." An Wanru looked nervous, and her eyes stared straight at Huangfu Xue.
"Think about what the evil doctor you saw yesterday did. Said something. What did he wear, but what was the difference? ”
"I was spotted as soon as I got to the door of the study, and when I went in and saw him, I was stupid. At that time, I was already panicking in order to escape for my life, and I still had the heart to pay attention to what was different about him. I...... I can't really remember. An pulled her sleeves irritably, "Sister-in-law, don't force me, maybe the evil doctor is in the Hongwang Mansion, maybe the eldest brother has found his person now." ”
"No, with King Hong's prudence, if the evil doctor is really in the palace, he will definitely not agree to your eldest brother's request. Like, I know it's a little difficult for you now, but we have no other way out, if you don't want to watch your eldest brother being humiliated by King Hong in public, you should think carefully and think hard. ”
Ann closed her eyes after hesitating. Huangfu Xue stared at her a little bit to help her recall, "That evil doctor is no different from ordinary people, he is dressed in a dark robe, he looks very thin, he has a beard, and his fingers are very clean, right......" An Wanru opened his eyes suddenly, "I remembered, there was mud on his feet, and there were some weeds on the soil, those weeds were a little different from what I usually saw, slender and long, and there was a fresh smell......
"Mosquito repellent grass?" Huangfu Xue opened her mouth happily. An Wan didn't know what mosquito repellent grass was, and tried hard to describe the appearance of that grass, Huang Fuxue determined her thoughts after thinking about it carefully, "It is indeed mosquito repellent grass, although mosquito repellent grass is not a good thing, but it is not common in Dongcheng, the only mosquito repellent grass is near a deserted house outside the city...... " Huang Fuxue went there, quickly wrote the address, and handed it to the guards, and still did not let go of the hanging heart.
Seeing this, An Wanru was also nervous, "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother will be fine." “”
"Now we have done everything we can, and in the end, we can only resign ourselves to fate." Huangfu Xue walked to the window, looked up at the gloomy sky, and her hanging heart tightened more and more. In King Hong's mansion, An Mingchen and a few people sat in the pavilion together, Lord Huang looked worried, King Hong originally thought that An Mingchen would be more or less worried, but he didn't expect that he was still calm from just now to now, and he looked confident.
Gradually, King Hong became a little uneasy. The guards slipped in from the backyard and looked at the search team, and after a while, they came with a pair of guards to reply, "Lord Qiyu, I found some dirt in the corridor in the front yard that is different from the soil of the palace,"
An Mingchen glanced at the guards and stepped forward. Seeing this, Lord Huang also stepped forward to check. "The color of this soil is really different from the soil here. It's just that this alone doesn't prove anything. "The hope that had just risen fell in an instant. An Mingchen glanced at the guard, and the guard then took out some weeds. These weeds are not in the palace, but he just went to the location that Huangfu Xue said to pick them.
"Mosquito repellent grass." An Mingchen smiled, "This thing is common in the south, but except for one place in Dongcheng, there will definitely be no other place." ”
"How does Lord Ann know?" Lord Huang saw that he finally had a useful clue, and happily agreed. An Mingchen turned his head with a smile, glanced at King Hong and continued, "This is thanks to my wife, she likes to travel in the mountains and rivers on weekdays, and there is no place near Dongcheng that she doesn't know." Every time she came back after going there, she would tell me what was good there and what was not good there, and after a long time, I remembered it. ”
"I see. Tell me where it is, and if the evil doctor is there? Even so, Lord Huang was still not at ease. An Mingchen looked determined. "Go, call everybody. Let's go now. ”
Seeing that An Mingchen was so cautious, Lord Huang didn't ask carefully, but King Hong's face was not very good, and he got up and stepped forward, "Lord An is sure so, won't you do it again later?" Although Lord An is on official business, my Hongwang Mansion is not a small family, so you can check it again and again. ”
"There are many disturbances today, please be more considerate of the prince, today's matter, the lower officials will definitely go to the emperor to ask for guilt. Now that the lower officials still have important things to do, they will leave first. After An Mingchen finished speaking, he left the Hongwang Mansion with everyone, and Liu followed at the end, seeing that Hongwang's face was very ugly, and he felt a little uneasy. After everyone left, King Hong went to the study in a rage, called the secret guard to give him careful advice, and after a while, the secret guard disappeared.
On the way, An Mingchen was worried that King Hong would send news, so he deliberately sent a team of people to leave first, and their group followed, and the people of the cult were the first to get the news, seeing that the people on An Mingchen's side were getting closer and closer, it was simply whimsical if they wanted to retreat with their whole body, but they were worried about the evil doctor's bad things, and decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots after thinking about it.
The evil doctor studied the poison in the house, and at first he didn't find anything unusual, seeing that noon was about to pass, but there was no movement outside, and when he came out to check, he found that the cook was dead, and he fell in the kitchen, killing him with a knife, this is the suburbs, except for a few of them in the courtyard, there are a few people in the cult who monitor him, such a knife technique, except for the few people in the cult, he really can't think of anyone else who has this kind of work.
It's just that why do they do this, they haven't been here for a day or two, and they eat and live with them on weekdays, why do they kill the cook for no reason...... When Zhou Rangren was puzzled, he saw several cult members sneak into his room, and soon after, there was a scream. It was a singer that Zhou Rangren had just bought the day before yesterday. Looks like they killed him.
Zhou Rangren has been on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he quickly thought of the reason for such an abnormal thing. His face changed slightly, and he felt the poison on his waist and came to the door of the house with a sneer. Zhou Rangren's martial arts are average, but his poison skills are unmatched. While several people searched for his whereabouts, Zhou Rangren blew the poison into the house, but in a few moments, several cultists were lying on the ground. Zhou Rangren saw them fall to the ground, and his heart was finally a little more comfortable.
When he came to the house, he carefully searched for their things, but found a note that the government was coming to arrest him, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly walked out without caring about anything else, and halfway through he remembered that Li Caiyi was still locked up in the firewood room, so he turned around and walked in. "Stinky girl, don't you want to get rid of Lao Tzu every day, it's a pity, Lao Tzu is the most thoughtful, as long as you are Lao Tzu's person for a day, Lao Tzu will never let you go in this life."
"You're a devil. Beasts, beasts. Li Caiyi was already tortured into an inhuman form, and she tried her best to squeeze out such a sentence. Zhou Rangren didn't seem to hear it, so he pulled her past her and walked out, "It's still so powerful, it seems that Lao Tzu was too good to you a few days ago." ”
The two of them hadn't walked a few steps before they heard the dense footsteps outside, Zhou Rangren's face changed greatly, he threw away Li Caiyi, climbed to the top of the wall and looked out cautiously, and when he saw hundreds of officers and soldiers rushing up, his face changed and changed,
Hmph, I don't want Lao Tzu to live, even if Lao Tzu dies, he will find you to be a substitute for the dead. Zhou Rangren sneered and left the wall, went back to the house and sprinkled all the poison around the courtyard and the gate, and after doing this, he thought of Li Caiyi again, "Stinky girl, tell me, how do you want to die?" Lao Tzu doesn't like poison, this thing Lao Tzu has been fighting for half his life, and he can't use this thing when he is dying, it hurts too much to commit suicide, otherwise ......"
Zhou Rangren gestured twice on Li Caiyi's face and suddenly laughed out loud, "They shouldn't know you're here." If Lao Tzu set a fire and burned us all, do you think they would still recognize you? ”
"What do you want to do?" Li Caiyi raised his head suddenly, thought of something and took two steps back with some trepidation, "No, I don't want it, please, let me go, I've already repaid you, you said at the beginning, as long as I accompany you for a day, now that I've been with you for so long, I don't want anything, I just want to live......"
"It's so easy to live." Zhou Rangren cried and laughed, as if he had gone crazy, "Besides, didn't Lao Tzu already tell you?" Lao Tzu's things would rather be destroyed than left like this. You said that Lao Tzu is going to die, what are you doing alive. ”
Zhou Rangren laughed twice, took out the fire fold on his waist and threw it directly on the straw in the kitchen. Peng's sound, the fire ignited, I don't know what Zhou Rangren put on it, the fire burned more and more, as if it was about to swallow them all at once. Li Caiyi cried desperately, hoping that someone would hear, and gradually, she began to despair......
Outside the door, An Mingchen and the others were still some distance away from this side when they saw the fire, and when they saw this, their faces changed slightly, "What's going on, hurry, hurry up and put out the fire." ”
Lord Huang led the officers and soldiers to the other courtyard quickly, and the guards who walked in the front didn't know why, they fell to the ground one after another, and when Lord Huang saw this, his face changed instantly, "Lord An, it's not good, I'm afraid that the evil doctor has used some means, you see these officers and soldiers ......"
An Mingchen followed, and naturally saw what had just happened. Glancing around, he turned over and dismounted, and when he was about to reach the gate, he squatted down and carefully examined the white powder on the ground......
