Volume 2 Fan Cheng Tragedy Chapter 108 Ten Buckets of Deadly Grass
Chen Mengxue is not a wicked person, but she has hatred in her heart and is extremely stubborn. A year ago, Chen Mengxue was just a lively and cheerful little girl, and it was only because there were too many things that happened in the past year that she became what she is now.
As two people connected by the same fate, Tang Yi felt that it was necessary for him to change Chen Mengxue and pull her out of this abyss - at least not because she died by herself, and she could not be affected!
As for being together? That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!
As a person who is on a mission to return yang, Tang Yi is destined to be just a passer-by in the Wanluo realm, and sooner or later one day he will return to the ancestral star and return to his parents. It is impossible for him to stay in the Wanluo Realm, and it is impossible for Chen Mengxue to go to the Ancestral Star, how can the two of them be together if they are not from the same world?
Tang Yi was a little desperate now, he felt that it was even more difficult to pull Chen Mengxue out of the abyss than to kill her and then beg the judge to give her again.
She has experienced the misery of Zhengyangmen being destroyed this year, and experienced the pain of chasing the enemy and killing the wicked but being misunderstood, and now she thinks she is revenge, but she is charged with killing her father. All this is too painful for a little girl who has lived carefree in Zhengyangmen for twenty years and has never seen the cruelty of the world.
That's why the world is collapsing, isn't it?
In front of Chu Ling's coffin, Chen Mengxue did not kneel, she didn't even wear filial piety clothes, and she even didn't like red and green, but today she actually wore an extremely festive red dress. At this time, Chen Mengxue was leaning against the door frame, holding a wine jug in her hand and drinking.
It was the first time in her life that she had drank.
Her cheeks were flushed, her smile was like a flower, and she seemed to be extremely happy. It is in stark contrast to Chen Zhengyuan, who is kneeling on the filial piety seat, and his back is extremely lonely and desolate. Xu felt that it was boring to drink alone, so Chen Mengxue called Xiaobai to drink with her, and while pouring wine into Xiaobai, she said 'On a happy day, you should drink'.
Chen Zheng cried extremely sadly, the person who died was his father, and his adoptive father, who was even closer than his biological father, was also ...... His own cousin, his uncle's own daughter, was wearing a big red robe at this time, smiling and drinking in front of the coffin, but he ...... But there is nothing that can be done.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhengyi cried even more sadly, and Tang Yi felt uncomfortable when he saw it. He wanted to go over to stop Chen Mengxue, but he was stopped by the Narrow Ghost.
"At this time, she was crying more sadly than Chen Zhengyuan!" Tang Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then sat on the ground and did not speak. Tang Yi knew that the ghost was talking about the soul, and now he no longer had the ability to see things in the ghost's heart, and he couldn't see the state of the soul.
Tang Yi can't see it, but he can. The ghost saw two lines of tears hanging from the corners of Chen Mengxue's eyes—two lines of blood and tears, which were hanging on his smiling face, looking ...... Extremely miserable!
Chen Mengxue actually kept an eye on everyone in the hall, seeing that her cousin didn't even say anything to stop her, seeing that Daogu and the others were just kneeling aside, and seeing that Tang Yi got up and then sat on the ground again and didn't speak, Chen Mengxue left the room after dropping a sentence of "boring".
It's just that when she walked out of Li's hometown, which was temporarily used as a place of rest, Chen Mengxue's tears flowed. From this day on, until Chu Ling was buried with Chen Ruxue, Chen Mengxue never appeared again, so she hid next to the mound she built for her father-in-law, and stayed in the ruins of Zhengyangmen for three full days.
Three days later, when everyone couldn't find Chen Mengxue and was already planning to leave for Dongning County, Chen Mengxue reappeared. When she reappeared, Chen Mengxue actually put on the clothes of a disciple of Zhengyangmen, and her face was extremely indifferent.
What made Tang Yi strange was that Chen Mengxue took the initiative to ask him to lead the way and went to the mass grave where the people in Fan City were buried, and worshiped there. It's just that Chen Mengxue didn't kneel, let alone apologize, she just told Tang Yi that she didn't kill these people.
She did throw a poisonous weed powder called Desperation Grass into the well. The poison of the Killer Grass is extremely strong, and it only takes a little between the fingernails to poison several people. However, even if it is a desperate grass, when it spreads to the water source of the city, it is impossible to poison so many people, at most it will only make people diarrhea.
If you want to pollute the water source of the whole city and poison so many people, you need at least a few catties!
Chen Zhengyuan also said that it was not made by Chen Mengxue, and the desperation grass powder in Chen Mengxue's hand was given by him, and it was only the amount of one plant. A few catties of desperation grass powder, at least tens of thousands of herbs can be obtained, and Chen Mengxue has no way to get these things.
In addition to Taoist sects and some Buddhist temples, this kind of thing is only available to doctors, and the desperation grass is a forbidden product, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get it. He was able to get these things because the Tianhe Sect had already cultivated some desperation grasses in order to refine certain pills.
Being able to pour a few catties of medicinal powder into the water source without being discovered, it is unlikely that anyone in the entire Fan City will be able to do it except for the government. After all, the Wanluo Realm respects martial arts, and the more martial artists there are, it is naturally easy to attract all kinds of riots, so no matter how big or small the city, there are yacha patrols for twelve hours a day.
Even if a small city like Fancheng is insufficient, the county order will definitely organize patrols for the people, and will never dare to be careless. In case of a warrior riot, the county order as a Baili Hou is a serious crime, even if it is not a warrior riot, but the demon beast crashed into the city, causing civilian casualties, and the responsibility of the county order is not small.
It's not like this has never happened.
After all, Fan Cheng is close to the 100,000 mountains, and more than ten years ago, he encountered a monster attack on the city, when the Fan Cheng commander was encircling and suppressing bandits in the 100,000 mountains, and he didn't notice it for a while, causing dozens of people to die and hundreds of people to be injured, and he was swept to the end.
Several officials in charge of security in the city were even raided and destroyed!
Of course, the most important thing is that the powder of the desperation grass is extremely light, and a bucket is only less than a catty, and it takes at least more than ten pokes to pollute the water source of the whole city!
Tang Yi combined with the patrol teams he saw in the city last time and this time, even if the previous patrol was not strict, even with his current strength, it was impossible to pour more than ten barrels of poisonous powder into the water source without being discovered. If you just pour one bucket, you might be able to do it.
"Could it really be that the government did it?" Tang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to rule them out one by one. First of all, Fan Chengling's family was poisoned, and it was obviously impossible for him to be poisoned, and the rest of the extremely county officials, master books, and the like also seemed to have been poisoned, but the signs of poisoning were relatively light, and they were locals, so they survived.
But although these people survived, there were also people in their families who died, and the dead were all immediate family members, and these people are now all dismissed from the government and confiscated into the army!
But who else but these people can have this ability?
Tang Yi suddenly thought of another possibility, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a poison that is more poisonous than the Desperation Grass?" For example...... All it takes is a little bit. ”
Chen Mengxue didn't know about these, so she also looked at Chen Zhengyuan, after all, there are some things that can only be known if you have cultivated to a certain level or are in a certain position, such as a mountain monk like Chen Zhengyuan.
There are naturally poisons that are stronger than the Desperation Grass, but don't say that it is an ordinary person like Chen Mengxue, even Chen Zhengyuan, who is a disciple of the Tianhe Sect, can't get it, those things are either forbidden things, or they are things cultivated by evil cultivators.
There are some things that can only be obtained at the level of Dan Dao Master or Doctor Immortal. Killer grass is already the most toxic poison that ordinary people can get.
Chen Mengxue even said bluntly, "Instead of worrying about what method the other party uses and what poison it is, it is better to ask the real murderer directly."
It turned out that four months ago, the two of them had visited the county guard yamen at night, and found a letter in the courtyard of the father and son of the grandson of the rear ya, a letter written by a mysterious person to Sun Junshou. There was no beginning or end to the letter, only one sentence, 'The past has been exposed, someone has sued the emperor, and I hope you will properly deal with the aftermath'.
After listening to Chen Zhengyuan's story, Tang Yi immediately rejected Chen Mengxue's proposal after seeing the letter. He felt that such an endless letter could not prove that the matter was committed by Sun Junshou, and perhaps what the letter said was not necessarily the rest of the things.
Just based on this letter, he broke into the county guard's mansion and kidnapped a county guard, which was a bit too reckless.
The matter was not discussed, so the three parted ways, Chen Zhengyuan took Chen Mengxue and Daogu and other four people back to Dongning County, while Tang Yi stayed alone in Fancheng to investigate the poison.
A few months ago, the case of poisoning the water source in Fancheng was handled and closed by the current county order, and the murderer was Tang Yi, who committed suicide in fear of crime, and the notice also said that what kind of poison was given to the water source, not anything else, it was the desperate grass.
Tang Yi did not recklessly break into the county government to ask Fan Chengling, but went to the City God Temple. Now Tang Yi doesn't have martial arts Wenyunzhu to give gifts to Chenghuang Ye, but Chen Zhengyuan gave him three purple shell coins before leaving, plus his salary last month, and now he has four purple shell coins.
Tang Yi spent four purple shell coins, and with the help of the Narrow Ghost, he let Tu Chenghuang show up, but even if it was four purple shell coins, it couldn't make Chenghuang Ye agree to help detain the soul of the county commander. Of course, Tu Chenghuang explicitly forbade it, but he just warned Tang Yihe that as long as the county order did not die and there was no chaos in the city, he would not bother to care about those messy things.
Tang Yi wanted only such a promise as Cheng Huang, as for letting Cheng Huang make a move, after inquiring about the value of the Martial Arts Wen Yun Zhu, Tang Yi didn't think much about it. A martial arts Wenyun bead is worth dozens of purple shell coins, but even so, last time it was just a position for Zhao Heng.
The greed of this Tu Chenghuang can be seen.
Now that the four purple shell coins can get this promise, Tang Yi is already very satisfied, and even if he doesn't have a city god, he is not without people in the city god temple. Now Zhao Heng has been promoted to a ghost official, although he is only a low-level ghost official, but the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the ghost official of the City God Temple, is at least one level higher than the county government and the land lord.
As long as the land lord does not come out to interfere, with the strength of the narrow ghost, it is not easy to hook the soul of a county order? Fancheng County Commander is not a Confucian protégé from the academy, but a son of a poor family from the imperial examination.
