Chapter 343: The Speculation Was Confirmed
Famine spreads extremely fast.
The people sent by Gonggong Yang observed outside the mansion of Hubu Shangshu for a long time, and saw that almost everyone inside was sick, except for one young man, who didn't know if he was afraid and wanted to escape from the tunnel dug in advance.
didn't know that everything he did was captured by a pair of hidden eyes.
The tunnel dug by this person led to a courtyard not far from the mansion, and when he got up from the ground with a disgraced face, a large group of masked brocade guards were already waiting for him.
Then, Yang Gonggong asked the doctor to check on him, and found that this person was not contaminated with famine, and all the functions of his body seemed to be very normal.
At this moment, although the banquet of the birthday gift was not completely over, Yang Guang still couldn't wait to send those courtiers away, and then followed Yang Gonggong to the palace to meet the young man.
"This person, is it really not sick?" To be honest, Yang Guang is still a little uneasy in his heart, after all, the taste of famine is not pleasant, and it is better not to get sick if he can not get sick.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave can take this life as a guarantee, and he must not be infected, otherwise the old slave will not dare to take His Majesty to see him." Yang Gonggong's face was confident.
"Okay." Yang Guang relieved his heart, but for the sake of safety, he still put on a full three-layer mask for himself, and it is certain that he is uncomfortable, but safety first!
As they spoke, the two of them came to the young man's house.
Yang Guang took a look and found that the scale of this mansion was not small, there were several tiled houses in it, and according to Yang Gonggong, this person's dress was just a small servant in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion.
"A servant, even if he didn't eat or drink and saved decades ago, couldn't afford such a mansion, it seems that his identity can be determined without interrogation." The original worry in Yang Guang's heart disappeared completely now.
Then, he strode into the house.
"Your Majesty, this person knows how to dig tunnels after all, so in order to prevent him from escaping, the old slave has broken his legs in advance......" Yang Gonggong explained as he led Yang Guang to one of the tiled houses.
"It doesn't matter."
Yang Guang didn't take this matter to heart, if he didn't be ruthless, probably the young man would still be lucky and unwilling to be honest!
Pushing open the door, a foul smell came over my face.
The young man whose legs were broken was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move, so even if it was convenient, he could only stay in place, which made Yang Guang subconsciously cover his nose and almost vomit.
"Who are you, and why are you keeping me here?" When the young man on the ground saw Yang Guang and Yang Gonggong, he immediately shouted frantically, his expression was very hideous.
"You don't have to care who we are, as long as you are willing to answer some questions for us, then maybe there is still a chance to live." Yang Guang squinted at him, looking extremely cold.
The young man was still pretending to be stupid: "I'm just a servant in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, what questions can I answer?" ”
"Can a servant afford this mansion?" Yang Guang looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, after all, this excuse was too low-level.
"I went to the gambling house a few times in the early years, made some money, and quietly bought this property. What, is there anything wrong with that too? The young man said stiffly.
Yang Guang laughed: "It's the first time I've heard that someone can make money from the gambling house, haven't you heard the phrase "ten bets and ten losses"? ”
"If you are really a bad gambler, I am afraid that your life is already embarrassing and you have to take poison and commit suicide."
"I don't know what you're talking about." The young man gritted his teeth, but unfortunately his broken legs made him unable to move normally, otherwise he would have turned his back to Yang Guang now.
"It seems that just his legs can't make him completely give up the luck in his heart, and then break his hands." Seeing such a scene, Yang Guang didn't think so, and commanded very calmly.
Yang Gonggong bowed and said yes, and with a wave of his hand, two brocade guards came in outside the door, each carrying a heavy wooden stick in his hand.
At that time, it was these two wooden sticks that broke the young man's legs. Now that he saw this thing again, he felt a thrill in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more fearful.
"Wait! This mansion was given to me by someone else! Seeing that Jinyiwei was getting closer and closer, the young man finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and opened his mouth to tell the truth.
"Go down first." Yang Guang waved his hand to stop the two brocade guards.
Then, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Who is the person you said was giving you a house?" ”
"I don't know who he is, every time he sees me, he is covered with a black cloth and wears a night coat, I only know that his voice is a little hoarse, and when he speaks, it is extremely harsh." The young man stumbled.
Yang Guang frowned, what can I do if I just know the sound? Not to mention it from afar, just talk about the Jiangdu under his feet, he can find tens of thousands of similar voices in minutes.
Do you still have to look for a needle in a haystack?
It's just that, looking at the young man's cowardly look, Yang Guang knew that he might not be lying. Moreover, Gonggong Yang had also preliminarily investigated his identity before, and knew that this person had indeed been working in the mansion of Hubu Shangshu for many years, and he had not deceived his identity.
At best, he can only be regarded as a thief.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to find out the door of ten thousand poisons through such an ordinary person.
But if the clue is interrupted like this, Yang Guang feels a little pity, after all, whether the famine can be solved depends on this person, otherwise, in such a hurry of time, where will he go to think?
"Then I ask you again, why can you ignore the famine and be unaffected by it in the slightest?" With a change of heart, Yang Guang decided to retreat to the next best, even if he couldn't find out the people of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, he had to get the antidote from the other party.
"The matter...... I can tell you, but you have to promise that you'll keep me alive when you're done. The young man pleaded, "Now that my legs have been broken, I am a wasted man, and even if I are killed, it will not do you any good." ”
"If the result is satisfactory to me, then I can consider what you said."
"Okay!"
The young man probably realized that he had no choice now, so he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "When they gave me the poison powder to spread the famine, they also gave me an antidote, as long as I took the antidote in advance, I could ensure that I was safe." ”
"This famine is indeed man-made!" Hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but glance at Yang Gonggong, and the previous guess seemed to have been confirmed now.
"What about the antidote? Anything else? ”
