Chapter 62: Voodoo
Liang Zhesi took Yin Si to the mortuary workshop, Huang Pi was accompanied by people, and the autopsy was wrapped in skin from head to toe, and his hair, face, and hands were also hidden under the clothing. The assistant next to him was just dressed in a cloth shirt, wearing gloves and holding tools, waiting on the side.
"My lord, what's wrong?" Liang Zhesi covered his nose and glanced forward.
"It's almost over," Huang Pi was not surprised by Yin Si's appearance, and turned around and sent the two people behind him away.
"Lord Huang," Yin Si saluted, this was the first time he saw Huang Pi, this Dali Siqing, has always been an iron-faced and selfless, case-loving, clean official for the country and the people, others dare not take it, dare not investigate the case, dare not move, dare not offend the characters, he is not afraid of all of them, all according to the law.
It is precisely like this, Dali Siqing has won the love of the people, but offended many dignitaries and nobles, in the court, in the rivers and lakes, many people hate him so much that they want his life.
In the Qingwan Pavilion, on the rivers and lakes, there is information for sale. In this Wu country, the most sold intelligence is the whereabouts of this Dali Siqing. But fortunately, his own martial arts are not weak, and he has many heartfelt subordinates to protect him, even if he encounters danger, he is not in danger.
"King Stability," Huang Pi replied.
This side of the work is also over, the assistant next to him, immediately leaned over to listen to what he said, Yin Si listened with bated breath for a while, the man's voice was very small, he could only hear a few words, and before he could distinguish it carefully, the man finished speaking.
turned around, saluted Huang Pi, and retreated.
Yin Si looked at his back and opened his mouth, "Qi people? ”
"The ethnic minorities in the northern Xinjiang of the Qi country," Huang Pi was not surprised that he could see it, "I heard that the king of Anding, who knows the Chinese language of Qi, can not only speak, but also write?" ”
"I know a little bit about it," Yin Si did not deny.
"Shizi, do you know voodoo?" Liang Zhesi had already briefly told Huang Pi the information on his side when Yin Si was staring at him.
"I know a little bit about it," Yin Si still didn't say anything.
"Why don't you talk about it?" Huang Pi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "There is a strong smell of blood in this house, why don't we go outside?" ”
Yin Si also made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them went out of the workshop, and when they arrived at the empty room next door, someone immediately sent charcoal basins, chairs, tables, and tea in.
"It's good that King Anding is here, and there is a charcoal brazier," Liang Zhesi was very emotional, you know, usually his family is deadly, the entire Dali Temple, the summer is gloomy and said the past, in winter, like an ice cellar, there is not even a charcoal basin, and it can't be worn too thick, and it all depends on internal force to support.
The adults also called it beautifully, saying that it was to test everyone's internal strength. Originally, Dali Temple would assign civil officials to make records, but now it's okay, the regulations of his family, civil officials are not coming, and they are a group of big men who can only do martial arts, and they have to write and read every day, sort out copywriting, and they have been trained by him to become civil officials.
In the end, he also said that it was for their good, and they would go out to investigate the case and find out the news in the future, and they could pretend to be scholars.
In short, no matter what you do, the adults in his family are right.
Fortunately, the money saved by the adults likes to invite them to drink wine and eat meat, otherwise, the brothers would have teamed up to beat him up a long time ago.
"Philosopher, are you cold?" Huang Pi looked good for you, "Why don't you go out and run ten laps?" ”
"It's not cold," Liang Zhesi immediately withdrew his hands on top of the charcoal fire, patted his chest, and made it to the door, with his back to the open door, his back was really cold, and his heart was also cold.
"King Anding," Huang Pi didn't bother with Liang Zhesi anymore, "let's talk about this voodoo, you tell me what you know, and I will tell you what I know, how about we discuss it with each other?" ”
"Everything is arranged by Lord Huang," Yin Si made a gesture of invitation.
Fortunately, Huang Pi is not a civil official, he can't do this kind of thing of pushing and shoving, since Yin Si asked him to talk about it, then he will talk about it.
The body of the person who was examined today is Xiao Tao's, that piece of work is indeed from the Qi country, and it is also a Qi military doctor who Huang Pi went to the border to investigate the case and rescued it.
Xiao Tao was indeed killed by voodoo, this poison, the ethnic minorities on the northern border, is called the witch plague, and the culprit of the witch plague is called the witch man. Wu Man'er is artificially refined, if you want to refine Wu Man'er, you have to start with children, the younger the better, the newborn is the best, and the one who is still in the mother's womb is the best candidate.
As for how it was refined, it is unknown.
Now, it is certain that the voodoo in Wang Weijin's body has been latent for at least ten years, during which she has always been like a normal person, showing no abnormality, if she is not provoked today, I am afraid that she will continue to lurk.
"You mean, Miss Vijin's voodoo attack is not man-made?" Yin Si hit the nail on the head.
"Yes," Huang Pi nodded, "when she was poisoned, she was already quite young, although this poison will affect her, it will not be fatal, it will only make her a little crazy and talk nonsense." ”
But this nonsense, as if deliberate, "should be regarded as a hint buried in the bottom of my heart," and once she has a seizure, the person who is bitten by her will definitely die. ”
"Is there no way out?" Yin Si asked, "That military doctor, haven't heard of the rescue method?" ”
"No one in the tribe who encountered this incident survived," Huang Pi shook his head, "Miss Wei Jin, I'm afraid it's also more auspicious, this kind of poison, once it happens, it will not lie dormant anymore, if you can't find an antidote-"
The latter words speak for themselves.
"The other people in Xiangguo's Mansion are not abnormal," Liang Zhesi hugged his arms and blocked the door, unable to figure it out, "Strange, could it be that the people behind the scenes are just targeting a little girl?" ”
"It's hard to say," now, Huang Pi didn't have a clue, so he had to turn around and ask Yin Si, "King Anding, what does he know about voodoo?" ”
"He's not poisonous, it's more like a parasitic relationship," Yin Si's information was collected by Ku Rong who personally went to Qi Country and risked his life back then.
Back then, his mother was infected with voodoo and began to show abnormalities, like a different person, no one remembered, no one knew, and even all the martial arts were scattered. After Ku Rong found out, he took her around to seek healing, set up the Qingwan Pavilion, and searched around for news, only to learn that she was infected with voodoo.
So, he sent his mother back to the master, and he went to Qi alone to find the antidote, but three years later, the master was changed, and the mother who lost the sense of the lord was rescued by his father, and the two fell in love, and his father took her back to the palace.
A year later, on the day of his full moon, Kurong brought back two bells covered in blood.
"What does that mean?" Huang Pi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and he didn't dare to confirm it.
"Do you know the relationship between lice and dogs?" Lice are an animal, and dogs are the same, and the difference between the two is that lice need to be attached to dogs to survive. "Voodoo is the same, it's just lice that get into the human body and live in the blood vessels!"
"You mean, they have bugs in them?" Huang Pi wanted to confirm again.
"That's right," that's right, Yin Si nodded, "these insects, after reaching the blood vessels, survive and reproduce, when they don't go crazy, the whole person is like a normal person, once they run wild, the host is like a mad dog, the saliva and blood are poisonous, once a wound touches her body fluids, she will get sick." Moreover, the person who gets sick can also spread it to the next person through the same reason, so it is called witch plague. ”
"This is the most insidious and vicious trick in Northern Xinjiang, whether it is a poisoned person or a witch barbarian, once discovered, he will be burned to death," Yin Si shook his head, "Over the years, we have been sending people to investigate, but we have never known who is making voodoo, and whether there is an antidote for voodoo." ”
"How can this be reasonable, to attack innocent people," thinking that when Wei Jin was poisoned, she was still a little girl, Huang Pi was furious, what kind of vicious person is to attack a child.
"The top priority is to find out who is the one who is responsible," and only in this way can we follow the vine." ”
"That's right," Huang Pi nodded, "This investigation involves too many years, my Dali Temple, my ability is limited, and I am really fortunate to be able to get the help of Qingwan Pavilion." ”
"Lord Huang is serious, but everyone takes what they need," Yin Si was not polite, "In the future, if there is any new news here, I hope to inform you in time." ”
"That's natural, natural," Huang Pi agreed without hesitation, "Today is also a trouble for the king to run this trip." ”
"It's okay, I'm fine," Yin Si looked at Huang Pi and smiled, "That guy just now, I look at some eyes, I don't know if I can ask Lord Huang for a recommendation?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not good, Lao Song is very stuffy, he only likes to sleep in the autopsy all day long, and he doesn't bother to take a bath, so it's better not to see the prince," Liang Zhesi didn't wait for Huang Pi to reply, and waved his hand first.
"King Anding, although this person was rescued by me, he has already told me that he doesn't want to have too many entanglements with other people," Huang Pi clasped his hands and apologized, "Please also ask King Anding not to make things difficult for others." ”
"Since that's the case, it's my presumptuous," Yin Si returned the salute and got up to say goodbye, "I have other things to do here, so I won't bother Dali Temple to handle the case." ”
"Walk slowly," Huang Pi and Liang Zhesi sent people out of the door together, watching people go away.
"My lord, do you think there is an antidote to this voodoo?" This is what Liang Zhesi cares about the most, "Miss Wei Jin, is there really any salvation?" ”
"If you don't know what poison it is, it's definitely hopeless," Huang Pi scratched his head as he stared at the place where Yin Si disappeared, "But it's not poison, it's a bug." ”
Bugs, still parasites!
"So?" Is it saved, or is it not? When adults speak, why do you have to be so appetizing every time?
"So what, you run a lap for me, ten laps, not a lap less," dared to say in front of others that I was reluctant to light a brazier?
"My lord," Liang Zhesi looked aggrieved, he knew that he was going to run in circles, so he should have held the charcoal basin just now and didn't let go. Well, now the cold wind blowing at the door is blowing in vain.
"Don't be like a, crying, go!" Huang Pi pretended to kick someone, and when Liang Zhesi saw this, he immediately resigned himself to running to the teaching field.
God, why is it always me who gets kicked?
