Chapter 129: Drawing the Darkness Out of the Hole
Some people shouted that Elder Xuanyuan could not fall ill in vain, and that the matter of poisoning the elders must be investigated, quickly, and thoroughly. They stopped me and told me not to hurry up, because the absence of poison in the pill does not mean that my suspicion is completely cleared.
Until the mastermind of the poisoning is identified, anyone is suspected.
I expressed my willingness to cooperate with the investigation, but I couldn't stay in the Xuanyuan Elder's House all the time, and the patient had to rest.
Everyone moved to the main hall, I wanted to go back to the poison hall, but they were not allowed, since there was an accident in the sect, I, the master of the poison hall, also wanted to participate in discussing countermeasures.
The Demon Sect does not have a special department for handling cases, and when a criminal case occurs, it is generally investigated by the sect leader's cronies.
Other civil disputes shall be resolved by the parties to the conflict, and if they cannot be resolved, they will be judged by the sect leader.
Simon Wuxian has been practicing magic skills in retreat for many years, and he has less time to come out and less time to deal with affairs.
The elders who should have won his trust and were entrusted with important tasks took the opportunity to elevate him step by step.
So much so that he had nothing to do after he got out of the customs, and the affairs of the church could not be presented to him.
He didn't even have a secret guard around him to protect him, but the elders......
The Fifth Rookie Dog Elder, who was in charge of martial arts study and supervised the training of martial arts among the people, took the lead in making suggestions, Xuanyuan Wumu had a secret guard by his side, and the secret guard on duty on the night he took the medicine must know what was going on.
As long as you call people out and ask, and then ask about Xuanyuan's aimless life recently, you may find out.
Xuanyuan Wumu had a stroke while sleeping, and there was no special movement, so the secret guard hidden in the shadows might not have thought that such an accident would happen.
Now Xuanyuan has no eyes and crooked mouth, he can't tell himself what happened on the night of the incident, and the maid is dead again, so he can only ask the secret guard on duty that night.
Whose secret guards live in whose courtyard, usually others can't see it, and they set their own shifts, so if you want to know the current situation of Xuanyuan's aimlessness, you have to call them all for questioning.
However, the guards only listened to the orders of the "master", and the others could not call them.
The Fifth Elder proposed that the secret guard was set up to protect important figures in the sect.
At that time, in order to prevent someone from raising secret guards to assassinate him, the sect leader also set another rule, all demon sect secret guards, from the beginning of the selection, must accept the "hypnosis" that cannot harm the sect leader.
Xuanyuan didn't see if they carried it out, and we don't know.
The Fifth Elder meant that Simon Wuhate would give an order to summon the secret guard to talk, and the others would not have to be present.
Maybe Xuanyuan's aimless secret guard will appear, and the master of the torture hall really thinks this method is troublesome.
According to him, he sent someone to surround Xuanyuan's aimless courtyard, arrested all his secret guards, and escorted him to the torture hall for a first trial.
As they spoke, I was wandering around the hall, not focusing on "solving the case".
The Demon Sect is declining day by day, and the decoration is a little old, but the momentum of the main hall is still there, and there are twelve stone pillars that are hugged by six people alone.
The patterns carved on it are simple and atmospheric, not exquisite or complicated, but there is another feeling of vicissitudes and heaviness.
Look, it's been a long time, maybe even earlier than the founding of the Demon Cult?
There is such a thing as aura, not only for people, but also for "earth".
I used to be able to sense only the energy field of human life, but now I can faintly feel the energy field of the "earth".
I don't know if it's because of the ability progression, or if something else is stacking up.
The new features are relatively weak, and whether they are useful or not requires more observation for a few more days.
"Ann Cousin!" A voice suddenly called out my name, and the pitch rose several degrees.
"Huh?" I was staring at the giant sculpture in front of the main hall, which was half-damaged, its head missing, and its body was only half cut off.
Suddenly, I heard someone calling me, and I immediately withdrew my gaze and looked at the person who called me.
"What does Lord Antang think?" The old man who was questioning had a white beard hanging down his chest, and a small red rope was tied at the end.
"Master Antang is new to the Dao, and she is not familiar with many things, and it is really difficult for her to leave this matter to her." Another elderly man was opposed.
"They asked you to contact Elder Xuanyuan's secret guards and bring them to talk, you can do whatever you want, depending on your mood." Simon ignored them and said to me in a gentle tone.
"Is the Poison Hall still responsible for raising people?" I've heard the logistics director talk about the rules of the poison hall, but there is no such thing in the rules.
"As long as the sect leader orders it, anyone can participate in the case." The white-bearded old man explained.
"Then I'll try, say yes first, don't blame me for not doing well." I say this to someone who is in the place.
Simon nodded lightly and said on behalf of those present, "Don't worry, no one will blame you."
The expressions of the elders and hall masters have their own characteristics, some are indifferent, some are sneering, and some are helpless and bitter.
Some people especially understand Simon without hatred, saying that he has just found his closest relatives and is eager to make up for the lack of family affection over the years.
Regardless of whether others like it or not, they can only do it first.
Elder Xuanyuan was bent on driving me out, and everyone saw his fate.
Regardless of whether he was poisoned by me or not, he was always the loser of the "struggle".
No matter how much others want to work against me, they will think twice.
From the direction of the person, the task was given to me, and from the direction of the medicine, it was necessary to find out the source of the benzoin.
All the members of the poison hall were called to the main hall, and the benzoin kept in the poison hall was also brought to the front of the hall and examined in front of the elders.
The record of use was presented to Simon Unhateful, and he and the elders took turns reading it.
The amount of benzoin preserved in the poison hall is not much, and I don't usually use it, but how much I bought it back when I first bought it, except for the one I used, the rest is not bad at all, it's all there.
The poison hall is actually not easy to operate, because the inventory is too small, and the lack of half is particularly obvious.
If you want to pick wool, you can't be the one with bald spots, and a pinch less is particularly obvious.
There is no problem with the medicine and people in the poison hall, the problem can only be with the people who buy the goods.
Whoever went to buy the goods, whether he had bought two copies, and only handed in one copy and recorded one when he came back, also needs to be checked.
A middle-aged man with a sharp beak rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Maybe someone brought it in from the outside, and didn't follow the process of our sect."
His direction is so clear, it's me.
On the day I came to the Demon Cult, I came in with several carriages.
The car was full of things, big bags and small bags, big bags and small bags, boxes and boxes, because there was a personal greeting from the owner of the altar, and when we entered the headquarters, no one checked our carriage.
Many days have passed, and now there is no point in checking again, and there are too many handles to be left.
"What the hall master said is right, my suspicion has not been completely cleared, you can reasonably suspect me, I hope you will speak with evidence, I am waiting for your good news."
Investigating the murderer is not playing a script to kill, everyone sits together and talks, since I have taken the task, I have to do something.
I left the table early and returned to Xuanyuan's aimless residence, at this time there was no one in the courtyard, I asked Xiaojiao and them to go back, only Yunzhou followed me.
The Dark Guard is good at hiding figures, and I'm good at making people visible.
As soon as the big tree of Xuanyuan Wumu fell, most of the people around him dispersed, and several doctors said that it was impossible for him to recover, and his future in the sect was ruined.
In the future, he will be just a patient in the Demon Cult.
The yard sweepers were sighing and wanted to move to other elders.
I walked around the courtyard, and then walked into Xuanyuan's aimless bedroom, where the maid's body was carried away and the room was cleaned.
"Xuanyuan...... Uncle, I'm back again, don't get excited, we just had a meeting and said that we want to talk to your secret guards, maybe they know some details that we don't know, details determine success or failure, right, everyone is trying to find the culprit who killed you, don't be in a hurry." Xuanyuan was trembling when he saw me coming back, and I hurriedly persuaded him to calm down.
Indeed, he is not poisoned by me, so why should he be angry when he sees me!
"If only you could call them all out
It's best to come, is there a gesture code or something? Yes? Compare and compare."
Xuanyuan writhed his body, as if he wanted to pounce on me, and he made a gesture, and immediately someone jumped off the beam, trying to stab me on the top of the head with a dagger.
"Well, that's right, I guess you must have a code not to speak." I said as I moved, dodging where I had just stood.
Yun Zhou sat at the table eating snacks, he and I were across the table, and the one who came down from the beam of the room just had half of his body smashed on the table.
Yun Zhou's eyes were quick, and he picked up the tea bowl and snack plate, not letting the delicious food be ruined.
The man rolled to the ground and didn't move, but he was alive and well.
Xuanyuan Wumu pressed a plum blossom carved at the head of the bed with his still movable hand, and the flower that seemed to be a decoration was actually a button.
Several poisoned arrows were fired from the bed board next to the bed, and the poisoned arrows pierced my air shield, and were intercepted and fell to the ground.
"Uncle Xuanyuan really has a lot of toys, are there any more? Show me everything."
Regulus was mad without sight, but now he could only scratch the bed, and I suddenly thought of a way to lure his secret guard into appearing once and for all.
The one sleeping on the ground doesn't count, and there are five more.
The secret guards are responsible for secretly protecting the master, and if the master is in danger, they will definitely come out.
When I dragged Regulus out of the bedroom, the people outside the door had "sure enough" expressions on their faces.
They thought I was here to take revenge on Xuanyuan Goalless, and no one was going to give Xuanyuan Nothing a head right now.
I was quite wronged, obviously to help him find the real culprit, but I was misunderstood as abusive/treating patients.
Recently, the weather has become cooler, everyone has changed into autumn clothes, Xuanyuan Wumu is wearing thin bedclothes, I am sunbathed in the yard, the autumn breeze blows, and he shiveres frequently.
"Xuanyuan's aimless secret guards, listen, if you want to save him, come out quickly, otherwise...... He died in the gut!" I pulled an unidentified object out of my sleeve and shoved it into Regulus's mouth.
The thing entered his mouth, and his features began to contort and his body twitched.
None of the people in the courtyard dared to step forward to stop me, not only did they not stop me, but the work in their hands did not stop, that is, the one who swept the floor only swept the soil in front of his feet, and the one who pruned the tree was about to cut bald, and he caught a tree and cut it blindly.
Their eyes were all fixed on me, and Xuanyuan stared blankly at the end of the day, his crooked face twisted into a "mask of pain".
Five black shadows swished, swishing out from different corners and besieging me.
Less than a meter away from me, they fell to the ground, and the weapons in their hands fell with a loud sound.
The dagger is poisoned, the dagger is drugged, and the dart green is black......
"Really, are you five students from the Five Poisons Sect?"
Of course, the five people would not answer me, because they had already fainted because they had stepped on the air wire.
The secret guards have poisons and Gu worms in their bodies, which is convenient for the master to control them, and it is also convenient for them to commit suicide and prevent them from mutiny.
I know these well, and I also have them in my original body, and I look for them for questioning, and I don't want them to die or be poisoned, so it's useless for questioning.
The subordinates glanced at Xuanyuan from time to time, as if they were waiting for him to be pierced through his stomach.
"Don't look at it, I gave him sour fruits, and at most he got food poisoning and couldn't kill anyone." I am afraid that if I continue to look at it like this, the work in the hands of the servants will never be finished, so I am kind enough to solve their doubts.
Xuanyuan's aimless sourness passed, and his face was no longer distorted.
This is what Yunzhou picked from the tree in our yard this morning, because it is not yet ripe, and it is a sour fruit, so you can imagine what the sour fruit looks like.
Yun Zhou tasted a bite of his facial features and almost flew away, I grabbed it and put it in my sleeve, because I was afraid of his tiger, so I really ate it.
Originally, I forgot that there was this thing, but I just suddenly remembered it, and I used it to scare Xuanyuan's aimless secret guard.
The servants in the courtyard were all frightened, and even if the five secret guards were suspicious, they had to take action, they only wanted to protect the safety of their masters all their lives, and they couldn't afford a little luck.
Besides, now that they can't count on others in the sect, Xuanyuan has no eyes around them, and there are only six of them left
Wei is loyal to him for special reasons.
I called the servants in the courtyard and called a few people to come over and help me carry the six secret guards away and send them to the poison hall.
Regulus was dragged back to the bedroom by me and put back on the bed.
"Uncle Xuanyuan, don't worry, my right-hand men, I will definitely protect them and won't let them get hurt or die."
Every time Xuanyuan listened to my comfort, his face would turn red with anger.
With his temperament, even if he didn't have the repose herb poisoning him, it would be a matter of time before he suffered a stroke.
The news that the six secret guards had been brought back to the poison hall spread quickly, and someone ran to deliver a letter, saying that their master wanted to meet these secret guards immediately.
I haven't solved the poison on their bodies yet, and it's impossible for them to see people.
I let the deputy hall master send away, the deputy hall master originally had a very low sense of existence, the main hall master is a person who does not distinguish between camps, he is a person who executes orders, and the deputy hall master is even easier to speak.
He is an old man in the poison hall, and I, the official position of the parachuted in, suddenly came ahead of him, and he didn't embarrass me at all.
Picking people up will offend people, he didn't hesitate, immediately moved a chair to the gate of the poison hall, and sat at the door to guard.
The people who come are not necessarily subordinates, sometimes the status is high, and the servants of the poison hall dare not stop people.
He, the deputy hall master, has a good weight, he sent away more than a dozen waves of people in one day, and he finished work in the evening, he smiled bitterly and said that the popularity he had saved in fifteen years was all lost today.
I was curious when he said that, and asked him how daring? Don't you leave yourself a way out?
He looked at me and smiled, shook his head and said, "There's a way back."
When he said this, his eyes were staring straight at me, and I instantly realized that he wanted to take refuge in me and use me as his back.
