Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Partition Wall Has Ears

The collective poisoning in Zhangjia Village is just as Old Man Xiao said, and it is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yan Yue. At first glance, Yan Yue could detoxify five or six times a day, but later, Yan Yue became more and more handy, and basically every medication never missed. In just over ten days, Yan Yue's attainments in toxicology can be said to have soared in a straight line, which made the poisoner's skills poor.

Yan Yue was strange, the poisoner couldn't play any new tricks, why would he be so happy to poison those villagers. This had to make Yan Yue doubt the purpose of the poisoner! Didn't Ling Yuechen say that the poisoning was done by the Guzhong organization? But if the Guzhong organization wants to retaliate, why should it poison the place that Cangmu Country is trying to protect again and again, if it is better to change places with one shot, then revenge is the biggest blow to Cangmu Country. But now, this poisoner seems to have trained his hands specifically. Even if it was a good thing for Yan Yue, Yan Yue was reluctant to continue such a game anymore, because Yan Yue felt uncomfortable for those villagers. Although the poisoning solution is worry-free, the pain and torture after poisoning will be remembered by him for a lifetime.

Yan Yue wanted to terminate the game, but she couldn't think of a way to terminate the game, because the poisoner came and went without a trace, and Yan Yue couldn't see the other party to negotiate with him. However, Yan Yue finally thought of a way, if she made a medicine, she could get rid of all the poisons that this poisoner might have. If you give out a few packets of this medicine to each villager's home, then there will be no point in poisoning the poisoner.

As soon as Yan Yue had an idea, she put it into action, and she didn't consider that it was already late at night, so she directly put on her coat and rushed out. The biting cold wind made Yan Yue retreat into the house again, and winter had already come before Yan Yue knew it. Yan Yue added a piece of clothing and went out, but this time she was not as impatient as she was just now, and walked slowly, Yan Yue thought about how to explain the purpose of her trip to the imperial doctor.

Doctor Zhang was the decision-maker and leader in dealing with the collective poisoning in Zhangjia Village, and his temporary residence was far away from Yan Yue and others, and it was only a dozen minutes' walk away. Yan Yue had already drawn up a list of medicinal materials, as long as Imperial Physician Zhang could send these medicinal materials in time according to this list of medicinal materials, then Yan Yue would be able to prepare a special antidote in the fastest time.

The winter night sky is deeper and bluer against the white earth, a few stars are beating in the distance, and the cold moonlight makes the people under the night sky even more lonely and lonely. The trees had long since become bare, and they stood there as dry as a thin old man. Such a night sky and such a scenery suddenly made Yan Yue's heart sad, and her pace was much slower.

It was so late at night, but the residence of the Imperial Doctor was still brightly lit. Yan Yue couldn't help but admire, a doctor can do so much to practice medicine to help others, without seeking fame and fortune, without selfishness, such medical ethics have to move Yan Yue. Staring at the bright lights, in such a cold night, Yan Yue's felt very warm.

When he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard where Imperial Doctor Zhang lived, a hoarse voice came into Yan Yue's ears, causing Yan Yue's footsteps to stop abruptly. Because Yan Yue's name was mentioned in that hoarse voice: "The Sprinkle family is gone!" The Sprinkle family is really not that Yan Yue's opponent! ”

Yan Yue was surprised when she had another opponent, and she really didn't mean to eavesdrop on others. But in Yan Yue's silence, Imperial Physician Zhang's voice came into his ears: "Did Lu Daxia forget? At the beginning, you lost a bet with the emperor, saying that you were willing to do three things for the emperor in this life. Could it be that if this first thing is not completed, it will be regretted? The old man knows that the most important thing for you people in the rivers and lakes is the word Xinyi! ”

Yan Yue was puzzled by these words, knowing that eavesdropping was a bit immoral, but Yan Yue's footsteps were nailed in place, and her ears were even more afraid of missing a little sound, and sure enough, a terrible fact was quickly exposed in the conversation between Imperial Doctor Zhang and the hoarse man. The hoarse man said: "Taiyi Zhang, you are a person who studies medicine, medicine and poison are connected, these days, you can see that the Sprinkle family is not that Yan Yue's opponent at all, and the Sprinkle family can't think of any new poison to stump that Yan Yue." The Sprinkle family asked Imperial Physician Zhang to tell the emperor to invite a master again. Of course, the three things that the Sprinkle family promised to help the emperor accomplish are still valid. ”

"No! Please Lu Daxia must continue this matter. Otherwise, the old man has no way to explain to the emperor! If the emperor is held accountable, even the old man's head will be difficult to protect. "Doctor Zhang was angry, obviously this matter is very serious. After a long silence, a long sigh from the hoarse man came: "The Sprinkle family tries again one last time, the Sprinkle family has no new poison, there is only one way, let more people be poisoned, to delay the time for that girl's detoxification." ”

It turned out that the poisoner actually knew Imperial Doctor Zhang, and it turned out that the poisoning was on the orders of Ling Yuechen. Before Yan Yue could think about it, the voice of the hoarse man had already sounded in the room, and Yan Yue hurriedly avoided the other side of the courtyard wall. It's just that Yan Yue's heart is even more panicked, Ling Yuechen, that gentle and elegant man, the man who opened his mouth to ask for help for the lives of the people, he is actually the initiator of this poisoning! Yan Yue's heart was blocked uncomfortably, and she felt even more breathless.

"Miss Yan, it's polite." When the hoarse voice sounded behind her, Yan Yue realized that a tall figure had come behind her at some point. Through the moonlight, you can see the man's broad face, dark skin, monk's dress, and a string of Buddhist beads around his neck. The voice told Yan Yue that this person was the person who spoke to Imperial Doctor Zhang just now, and it was also the person who poisoned this Zhangjia Village. Yan Yue looked at this person, full of doubts in her heart, but she still didn't say a word. Since this person can find himself and follow him, his conversation with Imperial Physician Zhang in the house is obviously deliberately said to himself.

"Girl, this poisoning of Zhangjiacun is not what the Sprinkle family thinks, and they really owe the emperor an agreement. These days, I have seen the girl's ability to detoxify, and I admire the girl's benevolence. So the Sprinkle family is coming to see the girl now, and they just want to give the girl an explanation. The monk spoke slowly, but he looked polite, not like the most vicious man who sought people's lives.

Yan Yue stared at this person in surprise, and suddenly remembered what Old Man Shi Xiao said, this person was once a defeated general under the master, and Old Man Shi Xiao had more evil than righteous in his life, so most of the master's opponents were also both good and evil. Yan Yue desperately needed an explanation, so she just stood quietly in place, waiting for the monk's next words.

"Girl, you must want to end this game sooner, right?" The monk's voice was a little eager, and after seeing Yan Yue nodding silently, the monk continued, "Please leave here, girl, and the game is over." ”。

Yan Yue was stunned again, this was the question that Yan Yue couldn't figure out just now, why did Ling Yuechen order this person to poison these villagers, was it to practice for himself? Or do you want to use this to keep yourself here? If it is only for such a purpose, is it too much to sacrifice so many villagers? Or is there some hidden secret in this? This secret may be known to Imperial Physician Zhang, or perhaps only Ling Yuechen himself knows.

Just in Yan Yue's confused thoughts, the monk spoke again: "The Sprinkle family knows that the girl doesn't know martial arts, and all the exits of this village are surrounded by guards, so the Sprinkle family will poison again tonight, not only the people in this village will be poisoned, even those guards will not be spared, but this time the poison does not need the girl to solve it, and after twelve hours, the poison will be solved by itself, which is the best time for the girl to leave." ”

Yan Yue listened to it in a daze, and there were a thousand and ten thousand whys in her heart, but she couldn't ask, the master was right, she had to grow some eyes. I no longer want to rely on others to help me answer my questions, and all the answers must be explored by my own ability. In this way, Yan Yue finally just whispered thank you to the monk.

"The Sprinkle family has no grudges with the girl, and these days I admire the girl even more, so there is something I want to give to the girl, which can be regarded as making amends for the trouble caused to the girl these days." As he spoke, the monk took out a paper bag from his bosom. Yan Yue was curious about what the monk would send, so she didn't refuse at the moment, but just looked at it carefully.

In the moonlight, I saw the monk open the layers of paper bags, and finally took out something like a mask, and then he shook it gently in the moonlight, and the thing like a human face was completely opened. Yan Yue was surprised and had an epiphany, if she didn't guess wrong, what this monk was holding in her hand must be a mask. Sure enough, just when Yan Yue just guessed what it was, the monk spoke: "This mask is said to be made by Shangguan Qian, and it is said that the god hand Rulai only made three masks back then, which was passed on to the Sprinkle family by chance by the master of the Sprinkle family." The material is made of real human skin, so it can be completely fake from the facial features to the skin. Today, the Sprinkle family will give it to the girl. ”

Yan Yue stared at the human skin mask for a moment, and then reached out to take it without hesitation. Under the expectant eyes of the monk, he said very stiffly: "Thank you!" This attitude surprised the monk, staring at the human skin mask that had been taken into Yan Yue's hand, and then looking at Yan Yue, who was still expressionless on his face, he couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he shook his head helplessly, and turned away without saying a word.

Staring at the departing monk, Yan Yue couldn't help but pout, there is no free lunch in the world, why this monk is like this, Yan Yue doesn't know. But this monk will never be a good person, of course Yan Yue knows. Since he was willing to give, and the reason he was looking for was so sufficient, why didn't Yan Yue want it! What's more, if this monk speaks seriously, then Yan Yue will be free at this time tomorrow! Thinking of freedom, Yan Yue felt that her heart was about to float!

In another no-man's corner, when the monk faced the old man Xiao with an evil smile on his face, he said with a look of chagrin and resentment: "Old man Xiao, I didn't expect that your apprentice was as shameless as you, such a good thing, he actually took it without even refusing to excuse himself, and the Sprinkle family thought that she would say no, but he didn't even want to say thank you after taking it." ”

Old man Xiao laughed and said: "You lost to the old man's apprentice, and you are willing to gamble and lose, but this is the lottery you took the initiative to bet on, and then you regret it?" ”

The monk said with a look of chagrin: "When the master of the Sprinkle family was alive, he repeatedly warned the Sprinkle family that he must change the problem of luxury gambling, but the Sprinkle family is a good gamble, because the gambling lost to the emperor, and he still owes the emperor two agreements." Now that I have lost to you, I have given the best things of the master to your apprentice! Is there still less gambling in the Sprinkle family? The family property, the fields, and the beautiful wife and concubine, otherwise they would not have fallen into today's monk's share! Today, today I must let myself remember this lesson......" The more the monk spoke, the more annoyed he became, the more he hated it, and finally he took out a dagger. head, cut towards his fingers.

Old man Xiao just smiled and watched, looking at the monk who was embarrassed and remorseful, watching the monk cut off half of his fingers, and saw the blood flowing all over the ground...... But the old man Xiao just smiled and looked at it, and turned away without care. Only the monk suddenly crouched on the ground, covering his face and weeping bitterly.
