Chapter 20: The Poison of the Mother and the Child

The river in the west of the city accidentally dug out a thousand-year-old stone, and the eight characters of 'against the will of heaven will be punished by heaven' were written on it, which made the entire Luoyang rumor boil for a while, and such rumors all pointed to the empress who was about to ascend the throne.

But after Ye Qingzhi saw it, there was a puzzle in her eyes.

Shen Lingjun was curious about what Ye Qingzhi could see from this stone.

Ye Qingzhi hugged her arms, lowered her head and said: "The development of writing is regular, and the most important thing is that the pictograms, understandings, shapes and sounds, signifiers, transfers, and pretenses, from the initial form to the present gradually mature, and then various font schools appeared, which is a very long process. And the ancient characters of the Shang Dynasty, so far I have found more than 1,000 words, I can know more than half, and some can not be interpreted, for pedants, this is a big treasure. ”

"What's that......" Shen Lingjun took a breath, "Trouble you to talk about people!" ”

Ye Qingzhi had a kind of sadness that was rare to meet a bosom friend, but still replied: "This should be the ancient script of the Shang Dynasty, but there are no these words in the words I know, and the strangest thing is that I can understand what these eight words are." ”

Shen Lingjun rubbed his forehead and was stunned by her.

"What she means is," Su Musha began, "it's just imitation of Shang Dynasty writing. ”

Ye Qingzhi nodded, so much to say.

Shen Lingjun stood tired, raised his elbow and put it on Su Mu's shoulder, "Then it's not an antiquity, tsk, it's really unprofessional, it's like a little bit, and it's exposed at once." I don't know who is full of food, and when this thing comes out, those two bachelors look at the appearance of a belly full of ink, and they shouldn't be unable to see it. ”

"I think the emperor asked people to carry the stone back, which is also what it means," Ye Qingzhi said.

Su Musha glanced at the hand on his shoulder, he really didn't know if Shen Lingjun was informal, or he was heartless, but he didn't see her like this to others, he sighed helplessly, and said: "Maybe it doesn't matter if it's true or not, at least the goal has been achieved." ”

Shen Lingjun is smart in the end Huizhi, with a roll of his eyes, he understood what he meant, "Well, you're right, now the city is full of wind and rain, and this is the scene they want to see." ”

Ye Qingzhi looked at the two people leaning together, and suddenly felt that she was a little embarrassed, and she felt that it was not good to be in public.

Before she could finish thinking about it, she heard Shen Lingjun say: "Forget it, this matter is not within the scope of our investigation, since the emperor asked people to get stones into the palace, let the emperor have a headache," he said, pulling Su Musha's sleeve and walking back, "Let's go, it's dark." ”

Ye Qingzhi walked behind the two, watching the two of them drag one by one, a little funny and a little puzzled. Shen Lingjun's personality is easy to get acquainted with people, which stems from her natural affinity, she is like a fire, infecting the people around her, even if she gets a little closer, she is burned by her flames. However, Su Musha is obviously the type that people and animals do not approach, like the Cuiwei Lake under Lingyun Wuwu Peak in winter, which is frozen into a mirror, without any water ripple fluctuations.

However, Su Musha seemed to have unexpectedly accommodated Shen Lingjun, whether she provoked or cheated on him, she never got angry, and even followed him all the way. Ye Qingzhi didn't think that Su Musha was a good-tempered person, on the contrary, although she was not in the rivers and lakes, she had heard a lot of rumors along the way. The Jianghu people's evaluation of Su Musha is just four words, cold face and cold heart.

Thinking of this, he had already returned to the mansion, raised his head, and just saw Shen Lingjun take a piece of pastry from the plate brought by Qinghe, and stuffed it into Su Musha's mouth with one hand, and Su Musha looked sluggish, a little funny.

Ye Qingzhi shook her head with a smile, and said in her heart, or it was in response to that sentence: Everyone has a unique nemesis.

Later, it will be completely dark, and the first quarter moon will shine all over the courtyard.

In the empty suburbs, the moonlight is covered by the dense forest, and the cool breeze blows, bringing a rustling sound one after another, and the shadows of the trees are like ghosts, which looks strange and gloomy.

"Hiss~" rubbed his arm during the play, goosebumps all over his body, "Do you really want to do it?" ”

Los Angeles took a shovel and threw it at him, "Hurry up." ”

During the play, he folded his hands and bowed to the Quartet, "We didn't mean to disturb your rest, don't cheat the corpse, when we finish checking, we will put it back for you immediately, the heavenly spirit is spiritual, the old king blesses, Amitabha Buddha ......"

Los Angeles rolled his eyes, "If you don't hurry up, it'll be dawn." ”

After a while, two black shadows sneaked close to the Dali Temple, and when no one noticed, in a flash, they fell over the wall and fell inside. The people who had been waiting inside for a long time hurriedly asked, "Got it?" ”

A door opened, Ye Qingzhi let go of half of her body, "Put it here," before closing the door, she explained: "It'll be fine soon, bury it back before dawn." ”

During the play, he walked to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, picked up the teacup and drank a big sip, "What is this called, digging graves in the middle of the night, it's scary." ”

Zhao Qi looked up at him very seriously, and when he watched the play, he was inexplicable, he looked back and forth, crying with a sad face, "No, is it really a spirit." ”

"You didn't wash your hands just now!" Zhao Qi pointed to his hand holding the teacup.

At the same time, everyone unanimously retreated three feet away from him in disgust.

After laughing for a while, several people sat down and drank tea with the breeze admiring the moon.

Zhao Qi looked at the closed door and pondered, it had been a long time, and there was no movement at all.

Shen Lingjun leaned over and blew away a petal that inadvertently fell on the table, and asked Zhao Qi, "The emperor is looking for you for the matter of the stone?" ”

"Stones?" Zhao Qi didn't react for a moment, and then shook his head, "It's the security of those envoys, it's been here one after another in the past few days, and the emperor has arranged it in the Hebi Post House, but the imperial city has not been quiet recently, let me take care of it." ”

Shen Lingjun nodded understandingly, and did not ask again.

Su Musha held the tea in his hand, did not drink it, lowered his head as if thinking.

Shen Lingjun saw it and poked him, "What do you think?" ”

"Do you think there will be any Illuminati in the envoy?" Su Musha asked.

Shen Lingjun propped his chin and tilted his head, "You mean, maybe there are foreign ghosts in this incident?" ”

Su Mu shrugged, "I never believe in coincidences. ”

Zhao Qi couldn't understand, "What Bright Sect?" ”

Shen Lingjun roughly told him about it, and then said: "The sudden appearance of the Bright Sect, coupled with a series of things about Jin Maoxing, is really uncertain, so it is easy to explain, by the way, the general must have sent a lot of people to protect those foreign envoys, right?" ”

Zhao Qi nodded, smiling treacherously, "It's not easy to come here, why don't you entertain them well?" ”

Luo Cheng was a smart man, and he knew what Shen Lingjun wanted to say, so he said: "Lord Shen, don't worry, come and make other secret guards over there secretly watch, and there will be no escape." ”

Shen Lingjun took a sip of tea and sighed, there are capable people who do things, just to make people feel comfortable, they don't need to be ordered, everything is done.

"Squeak~", the wooden door was opened, Ye Qingzhi came out to wash her hands, and said to everyone: "Poisoned to death." ”

On a dark and windy night, during the play, he and Luo Cheng dug up Hou Yan's deceased wife, and when Ye Qingzhi finished the autopsy and confirmed that he was indeed murdered, it would be very problematic.

Shen Lingjun raised his eyebrows at Su Mu, that means, sure enough.

Zhao Qi asked Luo Cheng and the play to bury the body back unconsciously, while watching Ye Qingzhi wash her hands, scooped up a basin of water, poured some medicinal powder into it, soaked her hands in it, and couldn't help but say, "I see that your medical skills are good." ”

Ye Qingzhi glanced at it and didn't speak.

"Girl, will you cure rheumatism," Zhao Qi saw that she still had to soak for a while, so she simply hooked a stool with her feet and sat next to Ye Qingzhi.

Ye Qingzhi swept him from the bottom to the top, "You have rheumatism?" ”

Zhao Qi shook his head, "How is it possible, it's my mother, can it be cured for many years?" ”

Ye Qingzhi soaked her hands clean, pulled them out of the water, took a clean handkerchief and wiped them and said, "I need to take a look to know." ”

"Okay, you can go back to the house with me tomorrow and take a look," Zhao Qi said immediately.

Ye Qingzhi is a doctor in the end, and there is no objection to the doctor's parents.

Ye Qingzhi wiped her hands, walked to the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten her throat.

Shen Lingjun asked, "Can you see what poison?" ”

Ye Qingzhi put down the cup before saying: "Actually, Mrs. Hou is a kind of Gu poison, Gu is in the heart, once you accept the instructions from the outside, it will attack at any time, which is easier to control than ordinary poisons." ”

"It feels like it's amazing," Zhao Qi grinned.

Su Musha said: "I've heard that there are Gu cultivators in the Western Regions, and some will use Gu worms to control some people and ask them to do things for themselves. However, because this method is too evil, the imperial court has united several schools in the Western Regions to suppress and eliminate it, so it has not been talked about in recent years, but in the final analysis, no one can say whether someone continues to develop it. ”

"Well," Ye Qingzhi continued: "This is called Zimu Gu, first introduce the subworm into the human body, and then carry the female worm with it, when the female worm is killed, it will make a sound before it dies, and the subworm will attack the human body, and then with the poison of the body, the subworm will also die." ”

Shen Lingjun held his head with both hands, "The voice shouldn't be able to travel far, right?" ”

"So," Ye Qingzhi concluded, "the person who killed her is in the Hou Mansion." ”

The corners of Shen Lingjun's mouth turned up, and he asked everyone with a smile, "Guess who it is?" ”

Hou Yan's face flashed in everyone's minds for a moment, it was really because he was too suspicious.

Shen Lingjun tapped his fingers on the table and asked Ye Qingzhi, "Is there any more news about Gu poison, such as who will use this kind of Gu poison, how to cultivate it, whether there are requirements for survival conditions, and so on." ”

"As far as I know, the Five Poisons Sect also raises Gu poison, but they never set foot in the Central Plains, let alone get involved in matters related to the Han people, so I think it's unlikely, as for the other ......" Ye Qingzhi frowned, "I don't know much about Gu poison, so I will check some classics tomorrow to find them." ”

"There's someone who probably knows," Su Musha interjected.

Shen Lingjun held a piece of mung bean cake in his mouth and looked at him sideways, "Huh? ”
