"What are the things? Chief soldier, have you been poisoned by any of the people here? ”

Master Deng listened to the words of the chief soldier and asked the truth of the matter, he was afraid that if he came here, he would also be infected with this poison.

It's not just a matter of a few people, in and out of the city, there are so many people in and out of the city in a day, if they are all poisoned, it is really a big deal.

Master Deng has already arranged an itinerary to go to Beijing after the Chinese New Year, and the sudden occurrence of such a thing will affect his future.

The general soldier's official position is Qianzong, and when they heard Master Deng's words, they answered without responsibility, and they were also panicked just now.

"Master Deng, we also have your thoughts, our people have also checked the doctor's pulse, no one has been poisoned, and our water source, and horses have not been poisoned.

Therefore, Mr. Qian, I suspect that the people of the Xie family and his own family have been poisoned from other places, and they only have a seizure when they return here, after all, they are colorless and odorless poison. ”

"So...... You can only ask them what they have eaten and where they have eaten in Annai County or on the way back. ”

"Okay, please check it out, Master Deng."

Master Deng heard Mr. Qian's words, at this time he was not so afraid of poisoning, this matter is easier to do, he instructed the master outside and the servants to ask the people who are not so seriously poisoned, what is going on.

The master saw a lot of guards, as well as Jianghu guests and the like, they were all paralyzed, only the two sons of the Xie family, Xie and Ji, the two housekeepers, their expressions were a little better.

So the master went to ask Steward Xie, compared with Steward Xie, it seemed that Steward Xie's face was better, and they didn't dare to trouble Gongzi Xie, for fear of affecting the deterioration of their condition, which was really a great responsibility.

Compared with the main family, the life of the subordinate will always be cheaper.

"Steward Xie, I have an order from Master Deng to investigate the case and ask you if you were poisoned in Annai County, or where you came back."

Steward Xie listened to the master's question, and replied from his guess that he didn't want this matter to implicate the eldest lady, they came out of the eldest lady's courtyard and returned directly after coming out.

And in Annai County, they did not find anything abnormal for so many days, and they were not poisoned......

"Master, I asked Dr. Hua just now, although this poison is colorless and tasteless, the poisoning attack will be after an hour, or half a day.

We set off in Annai County in the morning, and when we came to Pingxian after walking for half a day, we were fine, and then we had a meal at a Jufu building in Pingxian County. ”

In order to find out the case, the master must ask more questions.

"Steward Xie, in addition to eating in Jufu Building, have your people been back in the city and eaten elsewhere?"

"Yes, at that time, I found that the food was okay in Jufulou, but the food was not delicious, and the eldest son and the second son were unwilling to eat it.

We only moved a chopstick or two, but our entourage guards and Jianghu guests didn't care about eating more.

Later, I didn't eat a table of dishes? I also asked the store to try it, and they all felt that there was no reason for the fresh ingredients to cook that taste.

We couldn't wait for the chef to cook again, so we set off and bought some small buns and snacks at another small shop. ”

"Steward Xie is saying that the food in Jufulou has a peculiar smell? Not tasty? ”

"Yes, I asked the store at the time, and they didn't know what was going on, and the housekeeper ate in this restaurant last time.

It is difficult to explain that there is no such unpleasant taste as today, not that the dishes made by his chef are ugly, but that they do not taste fresh. ”

"In this way, maybe the poisoning of a few of you is lighter because you think the food is unpalatable in the restaurant, and then you don't eat much and the poisoning is lighter?"

"Now that I think about it, maybe that's the case, but I still have to check it to prove that someone deliberately poisoned it, or is there some other reason?"

Steward Xie felt that they had encountered thieves on this trip, and maybe someone would retaliate against them, and Ji Gongzi had not caught the thief twice when he was killed, could it be that someone deliberately poisoned him?

"Well, we'll look into it."

After the master asked, he went to ask Steward Ji again, and the reply he got was almost like this, the master was going to tell Master Deng.

"In this way, this case happened in Ping County, and I have to order someone to investigate it overnight, and we must find out about this matter.

Maybe there are other diners who eat in the restaurant on the same day, and it is important to save people. ”

"Okay, the next official will arrange it."

I thought it was poison in the place of the west city gate, and the people were panicked and closed the city gate.

After the investigation, it was not poisoned in the place of the west gate, but there were so many people encamped here, and the general army sent many people to guard here.

The gates were closed, and the officials went in and out to get tokens and let them open them.

There are some officials who followed the monsoon to do the task a few days ago, and some are glad that Master Ji came back after two days of walking, and they found that they were not poisoned.

But it's not comfortable now, I have to travel late at night to solve the case, looking at the strong wind, it looks like it's about to rain.

The officials could only take their equipment, put on raincoats and hats, and rode out of the city to Pingxian in the cold wind.

It was already dark, and they could only hold torches at night, but the torches would go out in such a strong wind.

They can only ride horses with oil lamps to illuminate the road.

……

Xie Zhibo's physical strength is stronger than his younger brother, after all, he is not injured, luck to control the toxin, and eat the antidote pill, his face is slightly better, he has a little strength, and he immediately thought of his younger brother.

Regardless of whether the body will move and have seizures again, you must know your brother's condition.

After being poisoned, his body was a little soft, and he had not eaten at this time of day, and his stomach was grumbling with hunger.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Zhibo found his younger brother in the carriage, lying on the carriage, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or poisoned.

Under the faint light, he saw that the little brother's face was a little bruised, and he used his hand to probe the little brother's nose to snort.

His brother is still alive.

"Big brother, am I dead?" Ji Civic said weakly.

"Brother, have you taken the antidote pill?"

"Well, the young master gave me a pill just now, I don't know if it's an antidote pill, brother, I feel so painful."

"Brother, I can control it after taking Dr. Hua's medicine, but our poison hasn't been cleared yet."

"Well, what should I do? I'm so hungry and sore! ”

"Let's find someone to eat, brother, try your luck and force the poison in your arm."

"Oh, why didn't I think of that?" After Ji Civic said this stupidly, he was lying down for too long and was sore and hungry, and he didn't have the strength to sit up.

"Brother, I'll help you!"

Xie Zhibo helped his younger brother to sit up, and then pressed one palm on his younger brother's back to deliver air to him.

With the help of his eldest brother, Ji Civic forced the poison on his body in the direction of his arm, but he was poisoned for too long, and the poison in him was relatively deep, if it wasn't for the antidote pill, it might be poisoned into his lungs.
