Chapter 443: Solving the Mystery
In the pavilion, Liu Qi invited Jiangdong celebrities to a banquet, and young talents such as Gu Tan, Zhang Dun, Lu Ji, and Zhang Wen were all present.
After the banquet was over, Liu Qiliu's brother Liu Ji reminisced about the past, as Liu Xuan's eldest son, Liu Ji was also a veritable Han clan member, and was quite loved by Sun Quan.
With him, there was also an old housekeeper with a rickety body, only Liu Qi and a few people knew that this person was Tai Shici who came to Jiangdong first.
The guests dispersed, the hall instantly quieted down, and everyone came to the wing room on the second floor.
When he came to the room, Tai Shici stared at a few pieces of pineapple cakes on the table at a glance, his eyes were slightly dark, and Hua Tuo separated them one by one, introducing the difference with Yu Tuo.
A few days ago, Wu Guotai rewarded Liu Qi and Zhao Yun to taste, and some gave it to Hua Tuo, although there was no difference on the surface, but once tested, it was found to be different.
The crisp cake that Wu Guotai gave to Hua Tuo was not abnormal, it can be seen that the target was Liu Qi, and what Zhou Yu and Tai Shici had eaten before was pineapple cake adulterated with toxins.
Tai Shi Ci gritted his teeth for a while when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "A certain self followed Sun Bofu, fought bloodily for the great cause of Jiangdong, and tried to protect Sun Quan's ascendancy, Gongjin is also loyal, why do you want to take revenge?" ”
Liu Qi sighed lightly: "Has General Taishi ever thought that General Sun's death is also full of doubts, although the assassin is the initiator, it is not the cause of death. ”
"You mean?" Tai Shici's eyes widened violently, and his essence flickered, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, muttering: "At such a young age, you can have such a scheming? ”
Hua Tuo's experiments in the past few days have already made preliminary speculations, and they can only be determined by verifying with Tai Shici in person, so he held this banquet and said: "Mr. Hua has found out that this crisp is poisonous, and there are still some doubts that need to be determined with the general." ”
Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath to calm down, hugged his fists and said, "Sir, please speak." ”
Hua Tuo said: "The general and Sun Bawang are both heroes of the time, with similar temperaments and strong spirits, and they must have been angry. The general thought carefully, before and after the injury, when he was angry, was there a difference? ”
"This?" Tai Shi Ci pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "If you were angry before, it would only be a surge of qi and blood, and there would be no discomfort." After being injured, a certain hatred did not succeed, and he was angry, and that time he was bitter in his mouth, his eyes were full of gold stars, and his heart palpitations and shortness of breath. ”
Hua Tuo nodded and said, "That's it, although it is angry and anxious, it actually starts from the liver." The liver belongs to wood, and anger hurts the liver, but it is poisoned by fire! Poison into the blood and intestines, this is the poison in the general's body. ”
Tai Shi Ci wondered: "Since he was poisoned by anger, why was it okay before?" ”
Hua Tuo said: "This thing is actually non-poisonous, so it is not unusual, but once it is injured by the gold wound, it will turn into a strange poison, and then it will be integrated with the blood, so it is not easy to detect, and it can only induce the fire of liver anger, which will cause death." ”
"Hiss-" Tai Shi Ci was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "Bo Fu was provoked to death by Yu Ji after being assassinated, a certain body was seriously injured, angry, almost killed, Gong Jin also passed out after being injured, there is such a strange thing in the world?" ”
Liu Qi was also shocked on the side, and finally understood why Zhou Yu's blood was not abnormal before, and it was toxic when he returned to Chaisang after being injured, and it turned out that the key was here.
But he was thinking more than others at this time, Zhuge Liang was three qi Zhou Yu, could it be the bane of this strange poison?
There are also the later metropolitan governors Lu Su and Lu Meng, all of whom said that the metropolitan governors of Eastern Wu were all short-lived, either died of illness or died bizarrely, and the speculation was related to Sun Quan, which seems to be not groundless.
When everyone was shocked, Yu Flip slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "Sure enough, it is not much different from my guess, this poison must have been occasionally obtained by the second lady from the pirates of the East China Sea, and she deliberately set up this plot to put us to death." ”
Tai Shi Ci trembled with anger, stepped in front of Yu Flip, and asked urgently, "What secret did Zhong Xiang find?" ”
Yu Fu said slowly: "In order to solve the poison of Ziyi and Zhou Lang, I sneaked into Lingnan three years ago, visited all over the strange people, and finally found a clue in the depths of the East China Sea: there is a kind of redfin whale in the southeast sea, the young is the size of a boat, the adult is as huge as a house, and the strength is infinite, fishing nets and swords cannot harm its life, but a group of pirates can easily hunt and kill, which is amazing. ”
"This pirate is capable of this?" Tai Shici grew up on the beach in Donglai, and he has also seen big fish in the sea, if you are in the water, no matter how good your skills are, you are not the opponent of big fish.
Yu asked rhetorically: "After the virtuous nephew returned to Jianye, he purchased cod liver and fish oil every month and sent them to Fuzhong, which was specially used for the use of pineapple crisp for Guotai, can Ziyi know about this?" ”
Tai Shi Ci frowned and said: "I knew about this for a long time, and I also bought the same thing and handed it over to Li Dangzhi for inspection, and there is nothing abnormal, could it be related to this redfin whale?" ”
"Not bad!" Yu rolled his head and said: "I asked someone to spend a lot of money, and I learned from a pirate that they hunted redfin whales, and only needed a rusty iron arrow to hit the gills of the fish, this secret technique is only spread in the islands in the depths of the East China Sea, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one in the Central Plains knows about it." ”
Liu Qi also often discussed this matter with Hua Tuo and them during this time, and after the most critical link was unraveled, he finally had an eyebrow and said: "It must be that this redfin whale was enraged by the pain and struggled to death after being hit by an arrow." If a person takes cod liver oil, over time, he will also have this disease, and if he is injured by a gold wound, he will die of anger. ”
"Exactly!" Hua Tuo stroked his beard and said: "Lao Yu and Mr. Yu have already guessed this, and today I invite General Taishi to come and confirm it, it seems that this matter has been nine times out of ten." ”
Tai Shi Ci asked again: "The redfin whale is so large, it must be in the deep sea, if it is provoked, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape, how can I bring it back?" ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Pirates have lived on the island for generations, and they have long known that this big fish loves pineapples, so they feed the small fish in the bay, and when they grow up, they will kill it. ”
Yu said in a deep voice: "Those pirates are barbaric and cruel, and they will not use this poison, but I don't know why the second lady learned about this, and actually made pineapple cakes, silently harming people invisibly, if I didn't search for clues, I am afraid that no one in the world will know about this matter." ”
Tai Shici couldn't help but think of Sun Ce's favorite pineapple cake, and every time he was rewarded by the second lady, he would share it with him and Zhou Yu.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stretch his hair, clenched his fists and roared: "The old goddess has premeditated, and it is so vicious, I will kill her with my own hands." ”
Yu said: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, if you can expose this matter in front of Jiangdong Wenwu, I will confront Ziyi and the old thief face to face, or we can uncover the mystery of Bofu's assassination." ”
Liu Qi said to Liu Ji: "Within five days, I want to know all the information before the second lady got married." ”
"Don't worry!" Liu Ji also knew that the matter was very important, and nodded solemnly.
Liu Qi was about to discuss the plan with everyone, when suddenly Yu's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Not good! ”
