Chapter 167: Finger Wrapping
Yuan Fei Daojun's expression on the throne was quite indifferent, and even a little impatient.
What big event can happen in the heavily guarded Dashun Palace, could it be that the Qingguo mission changed its fortune during the expiration date, and it didn't want to pay tribute?
He frowned and said majestically, "What's wrong?" β
The guard pressed his forehead to the ground and threw out a piece of news that shocked everyone present: "In the Qingguo Mission, someone has been poisoned and died." β
It is not a trivial matter that a foreign minister came to worship, but he died in the palace and was poisoned. If Da Shun Guo can't find the murderer in the first place, he can't explain the matter to Qingguo, and if it spreads, it will damage Da Shun's face and make a big matter.
For the sake of the safety of the envoys of various countries, the exits of the palace have been blocked since the afternoon, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.
There was peace in the palace this afternoon, and it was only in the evening that someone was poisoned and died, and the murderer must be in the palace now.
Jiang Fuyuan quietly swept the expressions of everyone at the banquet, although everyone had a solemn look on their faces, and they all seemed to have a normal reaction, but everyone present was suspicious.
"The poisoner, is it an envoy or an entourage?" Chi Dongchuan grasped the key point first.
The guard replied: "It's the envoy's entourage, but the other people in the Qingguo mission also feel unwell and are bedridden." β
Hearing this, Chi Dongchuan breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the envoy who was poisoned and died, then there was still room for reversal.
He got up and saluted Yuan Fei Daojun and said, "Father, it is a matter of human life, please allow the sons and daughters to leave the table to check on one or two." β
Being able to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor for many years, Yuan Fei Daojun is not a person who can't figure it out, and he will not only care about his own pleasure and ignore the face of the Great Shun Kingdom, so he glanced at Chi Dongchuan lightly and said: "Since the Qingguo envoys have been poisoned, then go and find out why they are poisoned." β
He got up and lowered his eyes and glanced at the palace majestically: "I will go in person, and all of you Aiqing will also come with me." β
This can not only dispel everyone's doubts, but also prevent the real murderer from taking advantage of the panic and waiting for the opportunity to escape.
Qingguo Embassy Annex.
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, everyone saw Qing Changsheng lying on the stone table in the courtyard, his face was bruised, and there was a blood stain on the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, there was no snow today, and the body was not buried by the snow, but only stiffened in its previous position, and there was an empty bowl on the stone table, and there was a little frozen residue in the bowl.
The imperial physicians in the Tai Hospital had already been called to standby, and Imperial Physician Zhang led three of his colleagues into the room to see the rest of the bedridden Qingguo envoy group, while Imperial Physician Wang picked up the bowl and sniffed and identified the residue in the bowl.
After a while, Imperial Physician Zhang came out and replied: "Your Majesty, the rest of the Qingguo Mission is fine, but they are frightened and mistakenly think that they are also poisoned. β
The members of the envoys of the other five countries breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, it seems that the poisoning was not aimed at the envoys, but more likely the personal grudge of this envoy's entourage.
At this time, Imperial Physician Wang put down the bowl, went to open Qing Changsheng's eyelids, and opened his mouth to smell the taste in his mouth, and his expression gradually became solemn: "He was indeed poisoned to death, but the poison is not in this bowl of soup." β
The pale-faced envoy of the Qingguo just came out with his support for the wall, and when he heard the words of the imperial physician, he immediately retorted: "How is it possible? I saw with my own eyes that Changsheng was poisoned after drinking the soup......"
The imperial physician touched his beard and showed displeasure, his family had been serving as a imperial physician in the palace since his father's generation, and now he was getting older, and he could be regarded as a highly respected predecessor in the imperial hospital, but he was questioned by the envoys of a vassal country, and he felt offended.
"The envoy said cautiously that the old man has been practicing medicine in the Tai Hospital for 35 years and has never made a mistake." He said in a bad tone, "If you don't believe it, you can be checked by others." β
The envoy of the Qingguo was about to argue again, when the holy woman of the Kadan Kingdom stepped forward and arched her hand: "Your Majesty, I, Kadan, am good at medicine in the whole country, you might as well let me try." β
As soon as Yuan Fei Daojun bowed her head, she picked up the soup bowl and examined it carefully, and soon she put down the bowl and turned to look at the deceased's wrist, and when she saw the small red dot on the corpse's palm, her expression became puzzled.
"It's true that it's non-toxic in the soup bowl, but how can it be ......?"
She muttered a few words, and suddenly stopped talking.
The envoy of Qingguo hurriedly asked: "What can it be?" β
The Holy Maiden of Cardan hesitated for a moment, and after a quick glance at Emperor Dashun's face, she replied in a low voice, "...... He was finger-twisted. β
Since ancient times, medicine and poison have not been separated, and Cardin is good at medicine throughout the country, and naturally it is also good at poison, which is the unique poison of Cardan country.
She never imagined that she would pull her country into the water. Damn, if she knew this, she would not be in the limelight in front of Emperor Dashun.
Imperial Physician Wang had heard of the poison of Finger Wrapping, and naturally knew that this was a poison unique to the Kadan Kingdom, so he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Finger Wrapping Rou is a very toxic poison, as long as it is poisoned, it will definitely die, and this poison has a delay, and it usually takes half a day to attack." β
After he finished speaking, he stepped back and kept silent, as a hospital, their work was over.
"Half-day seizure...... Chi Dongchuan lowered his eyes and thought, "In other words, the time when the murderer poisoned was actually this afternoon." β
The determination of the time of poisoning is very important, as long as you delineate the time frame, then those who have been in contact with Qing Changsheng during this period of time will be suspected.
Yuan Fei Daojun asked, "Who are the people who have been in contact with the deceased this afternoon?" β
The guard with a knife who was in charge of guarding the envoy's courtyard came forward to report: "The entourage of the envoy of the Liang State has come this afternoon. β
The envoy of the Liang State changed his expression, and hurriedly pushed out the entourage mentioned by the guards for him to explain.
It is a serious crime to murder the envoys of other countries, and it is possible for Emperor Dashun to directly raise troops to recruit them in a fit of anger, and they must not let this kind of disaster happen.
Liang Guo's entourage trembled in fright, and quickly took out the tightly hidden talisman seal and raised it with both hands: "Little wrong!" In the afternoon, he came to find the small one first, saying that there was a big Shun rune to sell to the small one, the small one, the small one came to pay! β
Jiang Fuyuan glanced at Fu Seal, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head speechlessly.
How is it the peace charm she drew again. Qingguo people not only buy it themselves, but also try to resell it, right?!
Seeing this, the envoy of the Liang State hurriedly excused his entourage: "Your Majesty, the matter of the two goods will naturally not involve a murder. According to the minister's opinion, since this finger twisting is unique to the Kadan country, it may be the hand of the people of the Kadan country. β
At that time, the battle of the Nu River between the Liang State and the Cardan State was bloody, and 100,000 Liang people died tragically under the poison of the Cardan State.
"You're spewing blood!" The Holy Son of Cardin, who had been silent, was furious and exploded directly, "Finger wrapping is unique to our Cardin, but everyone can get it, I think this is a not clever planting of your Liang Kingdom!" β
"Who do you say is to blame!"
"You Liang peopleβ"
Seeing that the two parties were about to quarrel, Chi Dongchuan shouted: "Shut up!" β
"The Dashun Palace can't tolerate presumptuousness!"
His voice contained the supreme coercion of a powerful country, and instantly shocked Liang Guo and Kadan Kingdom at the same time, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
"I also saw a person who had contact with Changsheng in the afternoon......"
A timid voice came from behind the Qingguo envoy, and when the Qingguo envoy staggered away, a man with a blue face and vain steps appeared in front of everyone.
He is also a member of the Qingguo Envoy Corps, and is the same envoy's retinue as Qing Changsheng.
Under the encouraging gaze of the Qingguo envoy, Qingxi trembled and pointed towards Jiang Fu Kite.
"That's her."
