Chapter 4 The Coolie Who Ran Errands
According to her words, it can be judged that the people behind the scenes are divided into two groups, one is the person led by the fifth master, and the other is the third master, and the killer who filmed and killed them before was the fifth master's person.
They came to the ghost country to build a base, after all, no one would come to this place where there were not even living people. Inside the base are people who test poison and some poisoners and pharmacists, as well as Gu masters. They have not been here for a long time, but it has only been half a month, and if you calculate the time, it is also right, it has indeed been half a month since the body of the secret agent was found. The woman also mentioned that those who tested the poison were from some remote mountainous areas, uncontrolled places. But now all of them have been transferred three days ago, and there is no one involved here.
"You're still saying you don't know anything? Now it seems that you have a clear door. Yan Fan sneered, and the woman lowered her head and stopped talking. She probably didn't expect to give in so easily.
"I've said everything, what are you going to do with me?" The woman asked, she had lost the pride and indulgence she had at the beginning, and now she was left with only the greed for life. Bai Yuan on the side slept with Zhengxiang, and he didn't know when he slept. Yan Fan smiled and said, "You go, I won't kill you." She buried Sister Hua's body, found her horse, and immediately rushed to Liang Guo.
Back in Liang State, it was noon, she was the first to rush to Jiangfu, Li Xiuming was already waiting at the door with an umbrella, and saw Yan Fan dusty, his delicate face was full of dust, handed her a handkerchief and signaled to wipe his face first, but Yan Fan said: "Don't get in the way, I'll go back and take a shower after speaking, I haven't had a good rest for several days." ”
Seeing Jiang Tianzong, he was feeding the parrots in the cage in a good way, Yan Fan saw this situation, his anger soared, he was working hard outside, he was feeding the birds here.
"Yo, you're back? It seems that he has suffered a lot, but young people should exercise hard. He smiled calmly, the work on his hands had not stopped, and the parrot in the cage was obedient and obedient.
"Sister Hua died, Lang Tingyan rebelled and was killed by me, behind the scenes, a third master and a fifth master, they did human experiments in the ghost country, and brought together the poison pharmacist and the Gu master, and they had already withdrawn when we got there." Yan Fan finished saying everything at an extremely fast speed, without time to catch his breath, and turned around and left.
Jiang Tianzong turned his head, put down the bird food in his hand, looked at Yan Fan and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm tired, you go and rest first." It was the only thing he said.
After Yan Fan left, Li Xiuming said, "Third master, fifth master? It seems that they are cautious. ”
Jiang Tianzong thought thoughtfully: "There are not many people who can have the strength to go to the ghost country and take so many people to do experiments, they must be powerful people." You go to the county offices and ask them to do a good job of the census, and where people suddenly disappear and report them. ”
Li Xiuming didn't move, but hesitated: "My lord, I can't be sure that the people brought from the Liang Kingdom are still around the Ghost Country, and there is the Northern Rock Kingdom in the north. ”
"Li Xiuming? Are you questioning me? Jiang Tianzong glanced at him, Li Xiuming lowered his head, only said yes, and turned to do something. Jiang Tianzong didn't know what Li Xiuming said, but it was impossible for Liang Guo's hand to reach Beiyan and the Western Regions. According to the clues provided by the Plum Blossom Villa before, there was indeed a disciple who escaped and took the bronze sword with him, which made the owner of the Plum Blossom Village furious and killed many disciples in a fit of anger.
This bronze sword seems to be the sword of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty was destroyed, and its whereabouts are unknown. The owner of Plum Blossom Mountain Villa said that this was an ordinary copper sword, and there was nothing peculiar. This is undoubtedly a contradiction, since there is nothing peculiar about this sword, even if it is lost, it will not be angry.
A few days later, the emperor allowed Yan Fan to rest at home, and she couldn't help but sigh at Emperor Liang's goodness, but she didn't know what Jiang Tianzong meant. So Yan Fan slept during the day, went out for a stroll at night, and occasionally went to see He Feihu's situation, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, and it will not be better to see him like this for a while.
She wandered around the street, and came to the jewelry stall, and couldn't help but think of Sister Hua, she died like this, I thought she could come back with her, but she only sighed that the world is impermanent, and life and death have a destiny. The boss still had a smile on his face as always: "Bring one to Madame." Pedestrians hurried by.
Suddenly, she saw a figure, it was Bai Yuan! Yan Fan did not startle the snake, but secretly followed him, but found that this person was here to play, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, he was playing the jade flute. Seeing that he would not make any changes, Yan Fan left, and not long after she left, Bai Yuan slowly turned his head, and a hint of an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It turned out that he had already discovered that Yan Fan was following him, and a little girl suddenly came out, she looked very cute, not tall, and wearing a goose yellow skirt.
She clasped her hands in front of her chest and said playfully, "Good apprentice, why are you coming to me?" ”
"Master, what kind of poison is this? How can I practice it? He put the poison he had taken from the female killer in the palm of the little girl's hand, and the little girl sniffed it and said, "This poison is not ordinary, it is hidden in the mouth, the outer shell is not deadly, and the poison inside can kill as long as it is a little." The girl patted it, and the venom inside flowed out, and when she saw this poison, she couldn't help but scream: "It's over, it's over, my master, that is, the book written by your master, must have been lost." My master traveled all over the world back then, exploring all kinds of strange poisons, strange Gu methods, when he wrote the book and regretted it, reluctant to burn it, so he hid it, I had the pleasure to turn it over once, and a kind of poison 'green begonia' recorded in it is similar to this, it is green, and has a faint fragrance. It's okay to come into contact with the skin, so you can't take it. ”
Bai Yuan slapped Bai Yuxiao in his hand, "Well, it seems that the book of the master ancestor has indeed been lost." ”
"There is basically no antidote to the poison in the book." She took out her handkerchief and wiped the venom off her hand. He looked at the man standing in front of him again, crossed his hands on his hips and said, "And where did you go?" Why don't you follow me and run around? ”
"Master forgives sins." He solemnly clasped his fists and saluted, the little girl in front of him was indeed his master, although she was 14 years old, but her medical skills were extraordinary, and he came to apprentice for this purpose.
"Well, the attitude is good, this is the basic knowledge sorted out for the teacher, take a good look." The girl threw him a book and disappeared in front of him.
On September 9, the Chung Yeung Festival, many officials went out to play and climb the mountain in groups. Yan Fan didn't like to join in the fun, so he said that he was sick and didn't go. It's boring for bureaucrats to get together and discuss either women or classical documents.
Just when she was playing in the yard of her home, Jiang Tianzong came to visit, and he had nothing good to do.
"You're idle?" Jiang Tianzong followed Li Xiuming, and as soon as he entered the door, he ridiculed Yan Fan, and Yan Fan did not show weakness: "I think you are the same?" ”
As soon as he entered the lobby door, he said, "Something is wrong." Then he found a Taishi chair and sat down, Yan Fan waved his hand and let the maid who served the tea retreat.
"What's the matter?" Yan Fan sat on the chair opposite him.
"The prince is seriously ill. According to the description of the imperial doctor, it is a heat syndrome. But I don't think it's that simple, the situation now is that we are in the light, they are in the dark, and it is very bad for us. ”
"That's true, now the crown prince is only 7 years old, and the second prince has just been born, if the prince dies, it will be bad for the whole situation, but have you already guessed who might have done it? Those who can enter the East Palace must be the royal family. ”
"I've sent someone to investigate."
"Hmm."
Then the atmosphere was awkward for a while, no one took it, Yan Fanqing coughed twice.
"You're going to be evicted? It's almost time for dinner, so I'll eat here before I go. "He was a court official, but sometimes he had a ruffian.
"There is no good cook at home, I invite you to go out to eat and go to Yanyang Building."
The three of them rushed to Yanyang Building, today is the Double Ninth Festival, the street is not lively, Yanyang Building is a famous restaurant in the imperial city, it has not yet arrived, the people are already full, and Xiao Er's busy feet do not touch the ground. Yan Fan's eyebrows were already wrung together. Finally squeezed out a private room, Jiang Tianzong sat down calmly and ordered, Yan Fan looked at Li Xiuming who was standing on the side. Li Xiuming smiled lightly at him, Jiang Tianzong finished ordering, and said, "Xiuming, you can also sit down and eat together." Li Xiuming sat down obediently, Yan Fan smiled lightly, and suddenly envied Jiang Tianzong for having such an obedient henchman, if he could also have a henchman, he could save a lot of things.
Jiang Tianzong stared at her for a long time and said, "Yan Fan, how do I feel that you are a little... Kind of like a woman. ”
"It's just a bit of a woman, Jiang Tianzong, don't slander me." Yan Fan was calm on the surface, but in fact, the cup in her hand had been pinched out of a crack by her.
"Hmm." Jiang Tianzong replied, and didn't say more, it didn't matter to him whether it was a man or a woman, the key was whether it could be used by him. Yan Fan probably didn't realize it himself, and now many things were not ordered by Emperor Liang, but Jiang Tianzong discussed with her. During the meal, Yan Fan couldn't help asking, "How do you master and servant get strong?" ”
"Bought on the black market." Jiang Tian replied casually. Looking at Yan Fan's appearance, he must be very interested in the black market, and said, "The black market is in the eastern suburbs of Shaoyang City." Also, the Lang family colluded with foreign enemies and has been arrested and beheaded all over the house. The spy saw a bronze sword in Lang Tingyan's room, which was the one lost in Plum Blossom Villa. Yan Fan didn't answer, this life and death were all in the hands of Emperor Liang, but why was this bronze sword here in Lang Tingyan, Lang Tingyan couldn't be stupid enough to rebel because of a bronze sword.
"It seems that the defected disciple of Plum Blossom Villa is the key to the whole incident." Li Xiuming reminded Yan Fan, and Yan Fan immediately understood what he meant, and the bronze sword of Plum Blossom Villa was taken out by the defected disciple and given to Lang Tingyan. How much news did Jiang Tianzong not tell her? Just use her as an errand drudger?
