Xiangyang - Kuaijia

"I heard that Hua Tuo has already arrived? It's not going to be a mess, is it..."

The person who spoke had silver hair and withered skin, although he looked from a distance as an old man who had passed a year, but his eyes revealed a trace of fierceness, he was the current patriarch of the Kuai family, the largest clan in Jingzhou, and the father of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.

"Don't worry, even if Bian Que is alive, he will not be able to recover from heaven! Besides, if Hua Tuo can see that someone is poisoning, he can save the effort of Kuai Lao, right? ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it..."

"King Hongnong has always been known for his romance, and it is said that Mrs. Cai is beautiful and incomparable, and some time ago she went to Yizhou with King Hongnong. King Hongnong is speechless! ”

"Hmm... That's true, it's just... Once the matter is revealed, I'm afraid that my Kuai family will no longer exist, do you have... Need to make some commitments? ”

The middle-aged man on the other side scolded the old fox secretly, isn't it because King Hongnong is here that your Kuai family is unprofitable, so he will agree to our conditions so happily?

However, his face remained silent: "Old Kuai doesn't need to worry, I have laid out the way back, even if the matter is revealed, the spearhead will only be pointed at Cao Cao or Jiangdong Sun Ce, and I will definitely not suspect Old Man Kuai, as for the promise..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a brocade box from his arms and put it on the table.

"This is the antidote to the Holy Pill, you can remove the Gu poison in your body by taking it for your grandson Kuaijun, in addition, I swear in the name of the Holy Lord that when he and my Holy Sect sweeps the Central Plains, this Jingzhou Thorn History will be selected from your Kuai family..."

After sending away the mysterious middle-aged man, the patriarch of the Kuai family came to the back house with a brocade box, and saw a young man approaching him.

"Jun'er, you're just in time, take this pill quickly!"

"Grandfather, this is..."

"Don't ask so much, take it first!"

Kuai Jun couldn't resist the old man's meaning, and soon took the pill, and the patriarch of the Kuai family breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly told his grandson about what had just happened.

After a long time, Kuai Jun slapped his thigh fiercely.

"Grandfather! Confused, the identity of the other party is unknown, how can you take my Kuai family so unexplained! Besides, how can the deaths of his father and second uncle involve Liu Biaotou? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Biao does it, his body can't last long, why should his grandfather do this? ”

"Now my grandfather is also ready to send arrows, and I have to send it, and my grandson has been poisoned by that person..."

"Did grandfather think about their purpose?" Kuai Jun interrupted the patriarch's words and asked rhetorically.

…

On the other side, there were only four people left in front of Liu Biao's ward, He Si'an, Liu Cong, Liu Xiu, and Cai Hongluan.

"Liu Jingzhou doesn't seem to be caused by illness..."

"What? The doctor is saying that my father was poisoned?! ”

"Yes, those who are poisoned by this poison, young people may only vomit and diarrhea, but the elderly will be unable to discharge the toxin from the body in time due to the deterioration of body functions, which will cause organ failure and die, the old man has lived for so long, and it is the first time he has seen such a miraculous poison!"

"Since Doctor Hua can see that my father is poisoned, I don't know if my father can still be saved?" Liu Cong asked hopefully.

"Liu Jingzhou's heart and lungs have failed, and there is no surgery to recover... It can last ten hours at most, and then he will die in a dream, and the old man can only wake him up before he dies and confess his last words..."

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, but He Si'an spoke: "Since there are still ten hours, if you hold on for a moment longer, there may be a turnaround, so let's stay until tomorrow, madam, your master and servant are staying by the emperor's uncle's side, Hua Lao, I also wronged you to rest here temporarily, so that you can observe your condition at any time!"

Brother Cong, Brother Xiu, come with me! ”

After coming out, in front of everyone, He Si'an looked at Xu Shu, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"Yuan Zhi, you quickly lead people to control the people who have been in contact with Uncle Huang during this time, as well as related pharmacies and kitchens, and see if you can find clues! The rest of the people went home first to wait for news. ”

He Si'an has been in a high position for a long time, and there is a momentum between his words, and the uneasy mood spreads among everyone, but no one dares to ask, and they are ordered to leave.

didn't have time to pay attention to everyone, the three of them came to a side hall, He Si'an asked straight to the point: "You two have been with Uncle Huang during this time, can you find anything abnormal?" ”

"It's business as usual, whether it's food or medicine, it's been specially examined, and there is nothing abnormal, and my two brothers are eating with my father, if my father is really poisoned because of this, then my two brothers should at least have symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea as said by Dr. Huashen..."

"In other words, food can be excluded, so who can come to visit Uncle Huang during this time? Especially ten days ago..."

The two brothers looked at each other, both frowning and shaking their heads.

Seeing this, He Si'an also fell silent, Liu Biao had already retired, and his health was not good, at this time, someone took such a big risk to poison, so what was the intention? He Si'an was also puzzled.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps outside broke the silence in the house, and soon, Xu Shu appeared in the hall, and seeing his solemn face, He Si'an's heart suddenly hung up.

After investigation, we found out that Lord Liu Biao had been drinking sour jujube soup for a long time for soothing the nerves, and the materials in it were all purchased from a shop in the city called Li Ji fried jujubes, and when I sent someone to go there, I found that the owner there had been empty, according to the neighbors, the owner of the shop left Xiangyang ten days ago on the grounds of going home to visit relatives!"

"Ten days ago... That is, the day when Uncle Huang was seriously ill? ”

"Not bad! It is estimated that it is to go out to avoid the limelight, if no one notices, I believe that after a while, the shopkeeper may come back, but now we have made such a big move, which means that this clue is basically interrupted! ”

"Hmm... However, Lone feels that this shopkeeper is a small role at best, and someone must be behind the scenes! ”

"Shu also guessed this, and he had already ordered to ask his neighbors to see if he could find some other clues, but it is estimated that there is not much hope!"

"That's all it can be... Yuan Zhi thinks, who is the most likely person behind the scenes? ”

"It's hard to say, after all, the lord's recent actions are too big, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and even Yuan Shao and Ma Chao are all possible, but considering that this Li Ji fried dates have been in Xiangyang for a long time, on the surface, the most likely noodles seem to be only Cao Cao, but this doesn't make sense.

After all, using poison is a trick to play three ways, unless there is no lower limit like Goujian, the king of Yue, no matter which side of the princes will not make this decision easily, after all, this leader will cause an extremely bad consequence, and if I am Cao Cao, why bother to make this strategy, waste an important chess piece, to poison a person who has retired and is dying?
