Chapter 64: Trickery
"Bai has a bold guess, perhaps, this is the Gu worm that circulates in the southwest, and Gu is also known as Gu poison, and it is called the three major tricks along with the head lowering and the puppet." He said with a solemn expression, "Regarding Gu poison, it is not something that can be solved by ordinary medicines, its worms are attached to flesh and blood and live, people die and turn into bones, Gu worms are not destroyed, but this insect is afraid of fire." β
"So Liujiazhuang was burned clean by a fire." She said coldly.
Bai Zhi lowered his hand, put the Gu worm into a porcelain bottle, and then sealed it with wax, "Gu people are not common, they are made by Bai Man in the southwest area, and they can always find some clues." β
Liu Ruyan was silent for a moment, located in the southwest, there are Shu, Tubo and Dali, etc., which are widely distributed, "It's just why is it a white barbarian......"
Bai Zhi raised her eyes, "How do you say this?" β
"I still remember that I once mentioned to you that the murderer of Cangshu is also a white barbarian." "Perhaps," she brought it up, "maybe...... Just a coincidence? β
There is no connection between the two things, Cangshu is his pharmacy buddy, and the Liu family is even more unmasked.
Liu Ruyan thought for a while, "I remember that day I went to the bamboo house to look for you, and I happened to hear what the murderer said...... Xuan Kunyin was born, as the Bai family after the Eight Sages, would they sit idly by? β
Hearing this, Bai Zhi's face shook, he stepped forward, and asked urgently in his voice, "What else did the other party say?" β
"He wants you to hand over the Xuankun Seal." Liu Ruyan said lightly.
"Never give it to him!" Bai Zhi was no longer gentle, and her eyes looked at the front fixedly, "This seal is a relic of my ancestors, how can I hand it over at will, not to mention, that person is ruthless and unforgivable!" β
Liu Ruyan pondered and said: "The other party's methods are treacherous, and in terms of skills, it may not be under Uncle Quan, it is too risky for me to chase the murderer in the south, and Brother Bai is still ......."
"Are you afraid that it will affect me?" Bai Zhi interrupted what she hadn't finished speaking, "Since Bai is willing to restore your internal strength for you, he will not break his word, so there is no need to mention words like persuasion." β
Liu Ruyan smiled with relief, too, the immortal medicine is bright and fair, with sharp eyes in his eyes, but his heart is full of warm sun.
After restoring the morgue to its original state, she and Bai Zhi retreated, stood in front of the front teeth of Dali Temple, and looked at the time, Shen Yanchu's side was almost fine.
Miyagi, Daming Palace.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was dressed in regular clothes and sat in front of the desk to review the folds.
He raised his eyes, glanced at the candlestick covered with a veil, and paused the pen in his hand, "Defu, give this cover away." β
Defoe answered, and bent down to get the veil.
Familiar with it, the originally plain white yarn suddenly showed a few words, like a wolf falling on paper, stroke by stroke, outlining the handwriting of the strong small letters.
Defu panicked and called: "Sage, how has this veil changed......
Emperor Han rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that he was making a fuss and making a lot of noise.
Blink an eye to look at the cover, and saw the white yarn showing words out of thin air, and suddenly sank his face, "It's just a small skill of carving insects, it's really easy to fool me, Defu, who is on duty tonight?" β
Defu hugged the gauze cover, bowed down and said: "Back to the saint, tonight is the old slave and Chang Gonggong guarding outside, but no one has come to the house, let alone a word on this cover." β
"Show it to me."
Defoe hurriedly offered it with both hands.
The plain white and transparent veil suddenly had an extra line of small letters, and the Han Emperor read out the sentence: "Liu's heroic soul, hold the grievances, within three days, the sky will fall ice and snow." β
This is talking about the rebellion of Liujiazhuang.
Now that the Zhou soldiers are pressing, the Han Emperor is angry every time he thinks of this, and the gauze cover is knocked to the ground by him.
"Ridiculous, collaborating with the enemy and treason, you still dare to call injustice!" He shouted, "Spread my word, let the forbidden army strictly defend, and anyone who finds suspicious people in the palace will be taken down." β
"The old slave commands." Defu leaned over and was about to withdraw, when he heard the tone of the Han Emperor standing above change slightly.
"Let the people of Si Tianjian come to see me."
"Whew-"
Si Tianjian is in charge of calculating solar terms, observing celestial phenomena, formulating calendars, etc., and his ability to calculate is quite mysterious.
Lord Cao, the supervisor, widened his robe, and as soon as he slept on the bed, he was taken out by a decree from the palace and invited directly into the saint's bedroom.
He looked up at the temple door, and stepped into the temple with a solemn face.
"Ministerβmeet Your Majesty!"
Emperor Han lifted his eyelids after Master Cao came in, and his gaze fell back to the fold in his hand, "Si Tianjian can predict the future weather, but in the next few days, will it snow?" β
Master Cao secretly brushed a cold sweat.
He thought that the summons of the saint in the middle of the night had happened to something very important, so he replied unhurriedly: "Three days will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and the courtiers have observed that the heavy snow in the sky is an auspicious omen." β
"It's going to snow at this time of year?" Emperor Han asked again.
Master Cao didn't dare to be careless, "Nine times out of ten, this is the case." β
"That's someone playing tricks." Emperor Han whispered, and looked at the supervisor standing below, "It's none of your business, step down." β
Lord Cao responded in his mouth, but secretly said in his heart: Emperor Han sent him into the palace just to inquire about the weather?
It's weird, it's weird.
Following.
Emperor Han summoned Si Tianjian late at night to make the whole dynasty know, not for anything else, now the New Year is approaching, civil and military officials can be regarded as ushering in the seven-day Spring Festival, commonly known as the Golden Week.
This festival is approaching, and it is still a rare long holiday.
The officials waited and waited, and sat in danger at the slightest disturbance, lest the holiday be in the soup.
Routinely, except for the military attache from time to time to report on the military situation on the front line, there seems to be no other important matter to report, and the officials shrank their necks and waited to retreat.
Day after day, three more days passed.
The last early day of the old year will be held, and a welcome feast will be held in Daming Palace, aiming to enjoy the monarch and ministers.
On weekdays, the officials who have a good relationship have already gathered together to talk and talk happily, waiting for the feast.
"I heard that a few days ago, the Holy Lord summoned Master Cao, what happened?" The Ministry of Rites asked.
Lord Cao chuckled, "It's just that I asked about some weather, maybe it's for this feast." β
He looked at the snow outside, "There was still a lot of snow last night, and it stopped this morning, and I will ask people to prepare some ice cubes when I go back, and next year, it will be the best to take it out to relieve the heat." β
Everyone was talking, but when they heard the sound of "Your Majesty has arrived" from outside the hall, they were silenced.
When the Han Emperor was seated, the hundred officials came out of the ranks, and after bowing to the chief bow, they got up and stood up.
The attendant faced west and announced loudly: "There is a will-"
Hundreds of officials say goodbye.
"The celebration of the new appointment is the same as the public."
- In the new year, I celebrate with everyone.
Hundreds of officials knelt on the ground and shouted, long live.
Courtesy.
The officials returned to their seats and took their seats.
Food and wine are served to the waiter, and the dancers are pouring out.
When the feast was in full swing, the Han Emperor casually turned the cup and looked out the window through the graceful dancing queen.
Between the branches, a few crystals fell sporadically, and it snowed again......
The sky was dark, and in an inn a few miles away, there were also people looking out of the window.
"The imperial court has issued an order, and all the scouts in Liujiazhuang who are acting outside will be exiled, and Liu Ruyan, as the mastermind, should be punished for his crimes, and the whole country will offer a reward for his arrest." Shen Yanchu glanced at the young man sitting in the room, "Do you really think that just such a winter snow can make Emperor Han take back his will?" β
"Who said it was snowing?" Liu Ruyan looked up at the falling ice crystals, "When the dragon passes, the hail falls, the ice is frozen for thousands of miles, and the heavenly power is angry." β
As her words dissipated, a muffled thunder rang out in the sky.
The sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the clouds were as thick as laid ink. In just a few moments, Kyoto was shrouded in clouds.
