Early in the morning, South City.

The door of the Hidden Spring Pavilion had been smashed open, and the corpses of many assassins were lying on the ground lying lying in a crooked manner.

These assassins came to kill Tang Yun and Jing Liang, but they didn't catch Tang Yun. The support of the Demon Hunting Division is very fast, every night, there are night watchmen from the Demon Hunting Division in each square, and they received the signal from Tang Yun Fei, and then the Demon Hunting Division quickly sent soldiers and horses.

Jin Wuwei also went out, and after a fierce battle all night, the Tibetan Spring Pavilion was already full of dead bodies.

No one would have thought that in such a fandai fragrant green building Accord, there would be so many dead soldiers. They had no intention of staying alive at all, and killed the soldiers as always, so much so that they wanted to keep a living mouth, but the dead soldier took advantage of the fact that his guards were not paying attention, and directly swallowed the medicine and committed suicide.

Tang Yun walked to the backyard and found no trace of Liu Shenyu.

"My lord, we found a secret passage under a tree, but it has been destroyed, and the rocks inside are piled up together, and it cannot be opened for the time being." A soldier said.

Tang Yun pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked Jing Liang, "Has the Prime Minister sent someone?" ”

Jing Liang said: "After you finish speaking, I have already sent someone." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind me, and it turned out to be a soldier with a panicked face and hurriedly ran in.

"My lord, Xiangye's mansion...... Something went wrong. The soldier said with a pale face.

Outside Prime Minister Li's Mansion, there was already a group of guards from Xiangye's Mansion, with fierce expressions on their faces.

The experienced head catchers of the Shendu Mansion were all summoned, and when Tang Yun first arrived at the mansion, he saw several pestles examining the corpses.

A lot of people died in Xiangye's Mansion, and some corpses wrapped in white cloth were neatly arranged on the ground.

Tang Yun lifted the white cloth, and a hideous face appeared in front of his eyes, this person's facial features were a little distorted, and it looked like he should have suffered a lot of pain before he died.

A woman dressed in a life costume and surrounded by a group of maids watched all this with a cold face. She should be Li Wancheng's wife, it is said that this lady is the daughter of a national prince, and she is also respected in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Tang Yun identified himself, and a pestle said, "My lord, the cause of death of these people is the same, they all died from taking too much poison. ”

"Poisoning?" Tang Yun frowned, "What kind of poison did you take?" ”

"It's something that came out of their house." The pestle gave a package of things wrapped in tissue paper, and Tang Yun opened it, but there were pills inside.

Some of these pills resemble those taken by Taoist priests, but their surface is jet-black and their smell is somewhat different.

"It's all the vixen."

Mrs. Li finally spoke, but her expression was indifferent, and her words were even more indescribable, as if she was gritting her teeth for revenge.

Tang Yun put the pill in his hand on the table and asked, "Mrs. Li, who are the people in your house who died?" ”

Mrs. Li glanced at Tang Yun and said, "It's the master's advisor, when the servants brought them food this morning, they saw that they were all dead in the house. ”

Tang Yun asked, "Mrs. Li, who did it?" ”

"Who else could it be!" Mrs. Li suddenly gritted her teeth, "I can't think of anyone else besides that vixen!" ”

Mrs. Li told Tang Yun that although Li Wancheng was the prime minister, he, like many people, was particularly desperate for his life.

Li Wancheng is already old, although he is old, he is ambitious, and he thinks that he should not return to his hometown like this.

So he found a Taoist temple and invited many Taoist priests to ask them about the mystery of immortality.

Tang Yun's brows furrowed, Li Wancheng could be the prime minister, but he didn't expect to be so stupid.

"The thing of immortality is illusory, and the old body does not believe it! I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup those Taoist priests poured into him, so that he couldn't keep his soul every day, so he followed those Taoist priests to chant scriptures. ”

"Where are those Taoist priests?"

"They are not in the capital, these people met when the master was inspecting Jiangnan."

In the first year of Tongtian, Li Wancheng inspected Jiangnan Province at the behest of the empress.

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said, "These Taoist priests must be some charlatans, they tricked their husbands into taking a very strange medicine, saying that as long as they take it regularly, they can soar to immortals. It's ridiculous! I didn't agree, so they brought two vixens from Gangnam Province, one to live at home, and the other even let her live outside. It is called a cultivation furnace, but in fact, who doesn't know the dirty things he has done. ”

Mrs. Li spoke in a loud voice, and everyone around her could hear it.

Tang Yun glanced at them, and all of them lowered their heads and stopped listening.

Tang Yun took out those pills from the side and said, "Mrs. Li, these things were presented to Li Xiang by that Taoist priest, right?" ”

Mrs. Li nodded: "This is not a good thing at all, those people have a fever after eating it, and some people have chills." You have to eat cold rice and serve it with hot wine, otherwise your whole body will ulcerate and become a cripple. For the sake of an ethereal immortality, you have to force yourself to such a point, hum! ”

Tang Yun felt a little familiar.

He had seen these signs before, so he took the medicine and asked the pestle: "Have you ever found out the ingredients of this elixir?" ”

Pestle reported: "Lord Hui, my subordinates have found out, which are probably Dansha, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing, Cishi and other things. This elixir...... I'm afraid, it's the five stones that are scattered! ”

Five stone scattered!

When Tang Yun once visited the History Museum, he saw this thing, and it also has another name, because he needs to eat cold rice after each serving, so it is also called cold food powder.

In ancient times, some alchemists used to bewitch, saying that as long as they took these pills, they had the hope of becoming immortals. As a result, many people rushed to take it, and finally ended up with a physical disability.

This elixir is very poisonous, and it can make the life of taking it worse than death.

Tang Yun picked up the pill and compared the deaths of these people, and concluded that these people should have died from taking too much cold food.

"Mrs. Li, where is the woman you are talking about?" Tang Yun asked.

Mrs. Li snorted coldly: "That fox monkey saw that the situation was not good, and he had already run away." I've asked my generals to chase after me, and I don't know if I can catch up. ”

Tang Yun turned his head and asked the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Do you know what direction those people fled to?" ”

The housekeeper said, "This morning, the woman packed up her things, and some family members saw that she had left from the Dingding Gate in the south. ”

Tang Yun hurriedly led people out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now if he chases again, I'm afraid it's too late. But in any case, it's a clue.

"These people have no way to lead, and even if they do, they are quite conspicuous with two young and beautiful women. Send a message, let the counties outside the city keep an eye on me! ”

Tang Yun then mounted his horse, led a group of soldiers, and flew towards the outside of the city.

If the expectation is good, the real purpose of these people is still Li Wancheng. As for the Tibetan Spring Pavilion, it is a chess piece that is used to attract their attention.

……

In front of the Taiqian Palace.

Several eunuchs carefully carried Li Wancheng to a shady place, and the imperial physician dragged the medicine box in small steps and hurried over.

Xu Wuyi, who had just been arguing with Li Wancheng, glanced at it, but his face was also gloomy. Political disagreement is one thing, and if the other party really has an accident, he will be worried.

As soon as the imperial physician saw Li Wancheng's pale face, the imperial physician was shocked and hurriedly held Li Wancheng's heart.

The imperial doctor held Li Wancheng's heart, his face became more and more ugly, he suddenly untied Li Wancheng's collar, put his hand on Li Wancheng's head, and quickly took out a wooden stick from the medicine box, put it against Li Wancheng's throat, and even more induced vomiting.

Li Wancheng subconsciously retched, but never woke up again.

His whole body began to convulse violently, his hands and feet spasmed, and his chest rose and fell.

The imperial physician hurriedly took out a few pills from his arms, and sent them to Li Wancheng's mouth with trembling hands, but he didn't expect Li Wancheng to suddenly scream, and a mouthful of blood spit on the imperial doctor's hand.

Blood was splattered all over the ground, and several eunuchs couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they had seen such a scene.

The empress had been watching from the sidelines, and several ministers stood in front of the empress.

Taiyi's blood-stained hand continued to hold Li Wancheng's heart, he couldn't feel a beat, and he checked back and forth, but did not find the slightest sign of life.

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, and Li Xiang is dead." ”

The empress was stunned for a moment, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes, and said, "Why did you die?" ”

"Poison!" Taiyi said in an affirmative tone, "A kind of poison, when he came, the minister had already noticed that this poison had invaded Li Xiang's heart. So I was going to induce vomiting, but unfortunately I should have taken it for too long, and the inducing vomiting was useless. ”

The empress clenched her fists, and Li Wancheng was poisoned, which was already a big deal.

Li Wancheng is not an ordinary official, he is the prime minister, and even the prime minister was poisoned in a grand manner. Who is the person behind it, and what exactly is he going to do?

"Find out who did it!" The Empress shouted.

……

In a box on the fourth floor of Fengluan Pavilion in Beishi, a man sat on a chair, and the wine in his hand was still swaying.

"High priest, they have been sent away." The blue wolf left guard who had been sent away in the Prime Minister's Mansion stood respectfully beside the man.

The man took a sip of wine and said, "What about the two women?" ”

The blue wolf left guard and said: "These two women know a lot of things, and they were also sent away. ”

There was a hint of indifference in the man's eyes: "Mobei doesn't need delicate women, get rid of them." ”

"Yes!"

The man removed the wine glass from the table, then took out a scroll and spread it out, this is a map of the entire divine capital, dotted with stars and streets.

The man landed his hand on Shang Shan Fang, and a black line followed Shang Shan Fang to the south.

Then, he put his hand on Lirenfang in the southwest, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"The wolf is gone, and the rabbit can start foraging." The man followed his fingers along the Lirenfang and moved to the Chongrangfang.

It was early morning, but there seemed to be a layer of mist in the sky.
