Chapter 356: Take a Sip to Prove It!
After some racking his brains, Liu Zhang finally determined the location, time, and manpower used for poisoning.
If you want the people of the Jishi Pharmacy to show their eyes, then this poison must be placed among the patients they treat.
However, directly poisoning the patient is too risky and easy to expose.
After all, those cauldrons used to boil medicine in the pharmacy are guarded by special personnel.
If nothing else, the secret guard left by Xiao Rin wandered around there.
Moreover, poisoning in this way is too slow, and it can't create much lethality.
If you want to slap the face of the Jishi Pharmacy, you must let these patients die in large numbers, so that you can show the power of the Holy Maiden of Good Fortune!
Therefore, the best way is to poison the well near Jishi.
Poisoning wells requires a lot of poison to achieve the desired effect.
After Liu Zhang got the medicine from Jiangfu, he discussed it with Jiang Qingge, and finally concocted a large amount of poison and distributed it to his subordinates.
In order not to be conspicuous, he decided to have these subordinates pretend to be ordinary people, each carrying a portion of poison, and taking the opportunity to go to the well to fetch water, and take turns to sprinkle the poison into the well.
In this way, it is neither noticeable nor easy to spot.
After all, there are so many patients, and there is an endless stream of people who go to the well to fetch water, even if they are the internal guards of the East Palace, they can't keep an eye on them!
Not to mention, this is the darkest time before dawn!
It's a good time to kill!
Liu Zhang gathered all the manpower, distributed the poison, and soon rushed to the Jishi Pharmacy.
In order not to make people suspicious, they also pretended to go to the pharmacy to get the pills, and under the pretext of being thirsty, they went to the well to fetch water.
People are coming and going at the well.
Boiling the ointment requires a lot of water, and there are not enough people to help the world, so many able-bodied people have come forward to help.
Everyone, you pick a bucket and I go to the pharmacy one by one, and I am so busy that my feet don't touch the ground.
Seeing them, he hurriedly beckoned to them: "Are you here to help?" ”
Liu Zhang hid in it, and when he heard this, he immediately changed his plan and promised with a smile: "Yes! I heard that it's busy here, so we're fine, so come and help! ”
"Brother, you came too soon!" The leading man wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile: "We have been carrying water all night, and we are so tired that our legs and feet are weak, and we are about to lie down!" ”
"You guys come here, we're just here to rest!" The water porters smiled and handed the bucket burden into their hands, "Thank you for your hard work!" You guys do it first, let's go over there to catch our breath and replace you soon! ”
"According to me, you might as well go back to the pharmacy and drink hot soup to warm up!" Liu Zhang said intimately, "It's a cold day, after working hard for so long, you must be sleepy and hungry!" We were sent to replace you! ”
"That's it! That's great! The leading man said happily, "Then we're welcome!" ”
"It's all my own brothers, what's polite?" Liu Zhang wished that they would leave early, his mouth was naturally as sweet as honey, "Don't worry, we are young and strong, and we have nowhere to do our best, so we will be able to do this job well!" ”
"Good!" The man smiled and nodded, and waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go back!" ”
A few people talked and laughed and left, and soon, only Liu Zhang's people were left by the well.
"God help me!" Liu Zhang was overjoyed and hurriedly fetched water.
I fetched more than a dozen buckets of water in one go, and when I saw that there was no one around, I hurriedly put medicine in it one by one.
"It's better to put it in a bucket than in a well!" One of the demon soldiers snickered, "Hall Master, we are really smooth and smooth today!" ”
"This is providence!" Liu Zhang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, "The will of heaven cannot be violated!" Xiao Rin deserves to die, and those untouchables deserve to die too! After this incident, I will see which one who is not long-sighted dares to go to Jishi to buy medicine! ”
"If it's really all down, don't say it's a purchase of medicine, the families of those untouchables can smash the Jishi Pharmacy to a pulp!"
The group thought that the conspiracy was about to succeed, and they all gloated, and after putting the medicine, they picked up the bucket and strode to the pharmacy.
The pharmacy was busy at this time.
Liu Zhang hurriedly picked up the water in front of the cauldron and looked at He Qing who was boiling the medicine, "Shopkeeper, the water is here, do you want to pour it into the pot now?" ”
He Qing glanced up at him, and then looked behind him: "How many of you are there?" ”
Liu Zhang didn't know what he meant, but he didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "There are eight people in total!" ”
"Eight ......" He Qing muttered, stretched out his hand and nodded on the top of the eight people's heads, and at the end, he smiled, "It's really eight!" Not much to one, not too much to one! You're a pretty honest boy! ”
"Hehe......" Liu Zhang pretended to be honest, "We are all Zhuanghu people, and we don't have so many fancy eyes!" ”
"Good boy!" He Qing gave him a thumbs up, looked down at the bucket in front of him, and asked, "Your water, is it clean?" ”
Liu Zhang was stunned, and always felt that this was a bit weird, but he couldn't figure out what he wanted to ask for a while, so he replied with a dry smile: "Of course it's clean!" Now it has been drawn from that well! There was no delay at all, so I picked it up quickly! ”
"Good!" He Qing nodded, picked up the water scoop and scooped it, and handed it to Liu Zhang, "Then you can take a sip to prove it!" ”
Liu Zhang's mind "buzzed"!
Prove?
Proof what?
Why proof?
The next moment, he realized that he was exposed!
"Run!" He let out a low cry and was about to run, but before he could take a step, a man was like a fierce tiger like a mountain, and he fell to the ground at once!
It's Sun Chen.
"Wang Ba Lizi, we have been staring at you all the way, can we let you run away?"
Liu Zhang's face was pressed and he was dead on the ground, unable to move at all.
He struggled desperately, trying to kill himself by biting the poison on his neckline.
However, Sun Chen had already taken precautions, and directly tore the collar and tied his hands.
The moment Sun Chen made his move, Su Jinghan and the others and a group of internal guards also rushed up, and a group of people surrounded seven people, which was very easy, and soon tied up several people into zongzi and threw them on the ground.
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the people, and everyone gathered around curiously!
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" Someone in the crowd asked.
He Qing didn't answer and asked: "Do you know why there was a plague in Beijing this time?" ”
"This ......" everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, "The plague is such a thing, it happens when it happens, who can tell why?" ”
"But this time, don't you think there's any difference?" Su Li stood up from behind He Qing, "In the past, the epidemic was extremely contagious, but this epidemic is almost infectious!" In the past, the epidemic did not distinguish between the rich and the poor, even the powerful could not be spared, but this time, the powerful in Beijing were all safe and sound, and only the ordinary people suffered! ”
